Chapter 80: Execution and Ceremony
A viewing ceremony, presided over by Chancellor Lan, was held in the imperial capital square in the inner city, just like the execution of Chancellor Earnest more than ten years ago.
In the name of the Empire, Lan pronounced a sentence on the crimes of the World Government, and tried the three remaining five old stars, as well as one hundred and three kings of the allied states and seventy-six kings of the non-allied states.
Then, the unification of the empire was proclaimed to the outside world, and the Middleton Empire became the master of this world, and the planet under its feet was named Middleton Planet.
Then, as the Minister of the Empire, the supreme ruler above 10,000 people, he gave a speech.
After that, there was a series of processes, the study of several internal officials, the speech of Brand as a representative of the military attaché, and the dragon, Otohime, the representative of the fur clan, and the representative of the giant clan......
Before the two cultures were fully integrated, they first let all races experience the culture of speech.
However, the process was not boring, and the attendees and viewers were all excited, although the speeches were all ghostwritten by the Empire, but the feelings were heartfelt.
You can't expect these fish, cats, and dogs who have never been to school to write a speech.
Fortunately, the speech was not serious, and the people of the pirate world could not be expected to be serious.
The prince of the giant clan forgot his words halfway, and for a while he forgot the existence of the spirit, so he stood on the podium and made a face to his father below.
The representative of the snake head clan even excitedly snatched the order of the long hand clan's speech, and almost didn't scold on the stage.
In a burst of warm cheers and applause, this world-wide live viewing ceremony came to a perfect end.
Immediately afterwards, the five old stars and the kings who were judged were escorted by the garrison hall and went all the way to the outer city of the imperial capital.
It's still the street in the XC district, the emperor is keeping pace with the times, but this execution ground has not been abandoned.
But compared to the shabby, rotten and dirty twenty years ago, it looks slightly better now.
The cross, the gallows, the beheading, the Lingchi platform, these things from the last century seem so out of place here.
On the crosses on both sides, several skeletons have long been gone, and when the wind blows, they will even drag the rope and float.
But it is often the most humble things that can arouse the most primitive impulses and bloodiness in people's hearts.
Under the execution table, it has been a long time since there have been so many people.
There are a lot of people, of course, mainly people from the world of pirates, after all, today, it is the five old stars of the world government and their lackeys who have direct contradictions with them to be executed.
I have to say that it is their honor to be able to board this execution platform, since Earnest, this execution platform at the entrance of West Street has a threshold, and it is not even low.
You know, even some ordinary officials in the inner city are not qualified.
Ambitious people can put aside their ambitions and say that they will die on this torture table in the future, and others are afraid that they will not look down on you.
The empire hasn't been publicly executed here for seven or eight years, and the pile of dried bones, maybe Ornest's, can be regarded as witnessing the rise of the empire.
It was like the reincarnation of the times, and the officials of the garrison department took the five old stars and the kings to the execution table, tied them to the cross, and each of them gave a shot, and then walked off the high platform.
】
Ernest's spirit in the sky, looking at his successor, was afraid that he would not laugh out loud.
As a stone was thrown onto the high platform, it smashed directly into the eye sockets of the five old stars in the front.
The stone is very powerful, and it can be inferred that the person who threw the stone is not an ordinary person, and it happened to be stuck in the eye socket, as if he heard a crack, and the blood flowed down the cheek of the five old stars.
"Hey, who smashed this, what should I do if I'm blind, I want him to see what he looks like!"
In the crowd, there was an angry voice, and another stone smashed into the calf of the five old stars.
There was a snap, and suddenly there was laughter from the crowd.
"That's it?"
Suddenly, Shi Yu smashed towards the opposite side, and the fierce screams came and went, but it was like a little girl in the cave room shyly silent, which made the crowd below smash even harder.
Hard, hard, again!
The stone turned into a sharp blade, which wiped every part of the skin of the executioner.
The strength attracted the abuse of the crowd, fearing that one blow would kill them, and the strength was small and people laughed at, saying that they had not eaten.
But don't worry about that.
The medicine injected before the execution can stimulate the human senses to the greatest extent, even if the strength is small, it will cause strong pain.
At the same time, the potion stimulates the potential of the muscles, locks in the internal organs, and keeps the mind awake.
As long as the heart and head are not broken, the tortured person will never die.
The barbaric way does not mean backwardness, it is just the venting of the hearts of the people of the pirate world, and the shock of the empire to the world.
The Garrison Department broadcasts on loudspeakers while maintaining order.
Let everyone not overdo it and give the people behind a chance.
Blood splattered, and the execution table was piled with bloody stones.
Some of the "lucky" kings in the back of the middle, because their positions are too deep, they can't take care of them for the time being, and they can only watch the tragic scene at the front.
His body trembled, fear welled up in his heart, and occasionally a stone jumped on his body, and a sharp pain forced him to scream.
But this is only the superficial execution of the imperial capital, and the people who really died under the imperial trial are more than that.
Pirates, slave traders, government officials, kingdom nobles, naval scum and many more.
Those who are not capable will be killed directly, and those with Devil Fruit abilities will be pulled to the research institute and the fruit will be stripped and executed.
It is a purge, a purge of any rebels, of the brutal, of the uneasy elements.
According to the Cabinet of the Interior, this purge will last for two years, until the empire is fully unified and the world is on track.
In the palace, Heaton was not so easy.
For the first time, he felt what it was like to be in the Shura field.
He doesn't have to surrender himself to give speeches, Lan can do these things for him, as long as he is on the high ground of the king, he symbolizes the authority of the empire.
Holy, great, majestic.
But in fact, this is not the case.
The wind on his fingertips lingered for a long time, and Heaton could even feel a pair of hands gently caressing his cheeks.
But on the contrary, I can't see the natural figure.
It's just the wind.
In the back, there was Estes with a gloomy face, murderous, as if she was suppressing something, her eyes were erratic, looking around, eager to grab the natural entity and beat her violently.
Unfortunately, she couldn't.
The most annoying thing is that Estes can clearly feel the tips of his hair hanging down his ears swaying slightly, which is a natural provocation to her, as well as a naked show-off.
The silver teeth clenched, and Heaton could even hear a creaking sound.
Xiao Ke also seemed to notice that the atmosphere was wrong, the little short hand held his head, and the dragon's tail curled up together, for fear of harming the pond fish.
"Peng!"
As expected, Xiao Ke was kicked away by Estes, and his speed did not decrease all the way, and he even turned a corner and disappeared.
In fact, he has jumped into Yolanda's arms and felt the warmth of her palm.
Suddenly, Heaton's hole shrank, as if he felt that something was wrong, and the sense of crisis in his heart soared.
Seeing the figure of the natural wind gradually appearing, Heaton wanted to retreat, but at this moment, the hand composed of wind was holding Heaton's face, forehead against forehead, Heaton could clearly feel the delicate touch.
Is this the wind?
Naturally, the whole face was in close contact with Heaton, as if it was about to be kissed in the next second.
This kind of magical feeling, Heaton has never experienced, the power of the angel fruit and the power of [Chronos] are completely suppressed Heaton can't feel it at all, between breaths, Heaton seems to be able to smell a trace of aroma, looming, there is magic to make Heaton's heartbeat can't help but accelerate.
Cheat! Definitely cheat!
Heaton yelled in his heart, he knew that nature had definitely done something to him, but no, Estes was still on the sidelines!
Such a straightforward and bold seduction...
Grunt!
Heaton swallowed his saliva, and then, with a bang, a huge sword qi broke through the fear and directly slashed the natural wind shadow.
Connected to the ground floor of the palace garden, the corridor at the back.
Grunt!
Heaton swallowed a mouthful of saliva again, this time not excited, but afraid, and the slash flew past his ear like this, and Heaton clearly felt that this was Estes's unreserved blow.
Fortunately, Estes did not have the idea of murdering her husband, but only expressed her dissatisfaction.
The restraints are gone, and Chronos appears, restoring the destroyed ground corridor to its original state, avoiding panic among the vestibular guards and brocade guards.
Estes's eyes almost burst into flames, and he stepped forward quickly, grabbing Heaton's hand.
"Let's go, come into the house with me!"
Heaton looked at the noon sun overhead, a little anxious, but at the moment there was no wind at all, and there was a rustle of leaves in his ears, as if he was naturally laughing.
It's a...
Bad boy!
Heaton knew that this must have been a natural sense that Estes was coming, and deliberately provoked her.
But if you stimulate her, you will stimulate her, don't take me, and only restrain me for something, just restrain Estes too, stimulate to the end, have a woman's eyes...
You can't scare me like that!
If it were someone else, no, no one in this empire would dare to play tricks on Heaton like this, and only nature would be qualified.
This kind of rule-level power suppression is impossible to resist at all, but fortunately, Heaton knows that this is nature's love for herself, and she will not really hurt herself.
Only from this can we understand the lack of our own strength.
Wait, wait until the strength is enough, I have to turn you into a human and spank you hard!
Turning her head to look at Estes, who was aggressively pulling her towards the dormitory, Heaton thought to herself, what she was thinking about at the moment was probably waiting for a lesson that was strong enough...
No, the next thing seems to be a lesson to myself.
"Estes, there's a big court meeting tomorrow."
Heaton had to remind Estes.
The Great Dynasty Meeting has not been opened for nearly ten years, and this time it is opened, which means a new beginning of the empire, even if he is the emperor, he can't say that he will change the time.
Estes gave Heaton a cold look, an expression that would not give up if he was not squeezed dry.
"Hiss~ Xiao Nizi, don't listen to good words!"
Heaton raised an eyebrow, feeling offended by his majesty, and quickened his steps to catch up with Estes's pace, picking him up.
In this way, in the eyes of the palace maids, Heaton strode towards the dormitory.
Estes in his arms reacted at this time, a sense of shame came to his heart, his little face was a little flushed, his hands naturally wrapped around Heaton's neck, his eyes were filled with a layer of mist, and he saw Heaton's heart tighten.
Broken, fooled!
But the arrow had to be sent, and Heaton had no choice but to walk into the dormitory.
......
The next day.
Heaton was a little glad that the Hajj meeting was ten o'clock in the morning.
Yolanda looked at Heaton thoughtfully, thoughtfully dressed him in layers of emperor's court clothes, put on a crown, put on boots, and finally handed Heaton the scepter that symbolized royal power.
I always feel that Your Majesty is a little different today, was Lord Estes so crazy last night?
Yolanda thought.
Not really!
Heaton must be cunning for himself... Explain two sentences.
It's not that I'm imaginary, it's that I don't have enough time, and I have to use [Chronos] to create a small world and slow down the flow of time.
While maintaining the ability and fighting at the same time, can the consumption of mental power not be large!
Heaton thought that he would have to spend more time exercising in the future, and walked outside, Estes had been waiting for a long time, she didn't have to wear a cumbersome dress, she was still the iconic simple military uniform, and naturally she didn't need a maid to wait for a change.
It can be seen that Estes has a very good face today, and when he sees Heaton in a gorgeous crown, Estes's eyes also brighten.
The last time I wore this was ten years ago, and my memories have faded a lot.
The noble momentum that came to his face was something that no one could imitate, and unlike ten years ago, Heaton at this moment added a bit of divine aura, which made people can't help but worship.
"Let's go!"
Heaton smiled at Estes, not knowing what she had in mind, and a blush appeared on her face.
Meet the Lobby!
Heaton sat on his throne, and at the sound of an order, the officials of the empire began to rush in.
As soon as everyone crossed the threshold, they saw the tall back of Estes standing with his chest crossed, and Xiao Ke obediently stuck to her feet.
Naturally, no one said much about such a scene, everyone knew that General Estes was the most special existence in the empire, and he had always been.
The civil officials, led by Lan and the Interior Officer, stood neatly on the left, and Bud and Estes on the right.
In such a serious atmosphere, only a small possibility can look left and right, and there is no fear.
But Ma Yin's eyes lit up, winked at Xiao Ke, and made small movements.
Immediately after that, the people who entered the main hall were the people of the pirate world, first of all, the king who was temporarily appointed as the lord of the city.
These kings were all able to be determined by the Jinyi Guard and the internal affairs officials, and they were appointed as the lords of the newly established central cities, and at the same time, the empire would send officials to assist the ruling powers.
For example, Kobra, the first island of the empire's pirate world to become the central city of Alabastan, and for example, King Liku of Dressrosa, such medium-sized islands will exist as a central city, and Boya Hancock of the Amazon Lily, a central city with only women, although it has been opened to the outside world, it only accepts tourists.
There are also cities like the City of Seven Waters, Carnival City, Food City, Spring Queen City, Fish-Man Island, Elbaf ......
With these alone, there were more than 400 people in the hall, which meant that there were more than 400 newly established central cities in the empire.
At the same time, the original naval camp of the world government, the navy headed by Polusalino and Kuzan, also arrived with dozens of people.
