Chapter 14: Freedom?
The whole Impelton can be said to be a family mobilization, but anyone who has a little spare comes to the entrance to meet Karp.
After all, the title of "Naval Hero" is not a false name, it is a title that has been exchanged for the entire Locks Pirates!
Although this military medal has half that of Roger's Pirates, the gold content is absolutely undoubted.
Think about the grimacing characters in the Rocks Pirates?
Take Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, and Captain John, who only exist in the background and never appear in the comics, for example, they can't be ranked high in the Rocks Pirates.
Because there is Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, and the Golden Lion when I was young!
In the future, the four emperors will occupy a squad! The success rate of this outstanding graduate is terrifying.
Although these people had not yet reached their peak at that time, they could not be weak no matter how they spoke.
So even if it is to join forces with Roger, it is definitely an unprecedented feat in the entire navy.
Although Karp has never wanted to be promoted to general, he runs around the world every day with the rank of lieutenant general.
But as long as he has a little bit to do with the navy, who dares to really only regard him as a vice admiral?
The title of Naval Hero is not a false title, but a real high position, Karp is directly involved in the decision-making of the highest level of the Navy, and the priority is much higher than the three major generals in the future, on par with Granny Crane.
It's just that the old hob meat has the power but doesn't care at all, just stands firmly behind the Warring States, with both glory and loss.
"Lieutenant General Ka, Karp! Thank you! ”
"Thank you!"
This scene made Ike lying on Karp's head extremely dramatic.
This is too classic, right? It's really all famous scenes, right?
It is "welcome leaders to visit and inspect!" "One Piece Edition!
"Hahaha, it's not hard, it's not hard, let's lead the way first, let's go directly to the sixth floor!"
"Yes! Please follow me! In this era, Hannibal, who was still just the chief caretaker, led the way diagonally in front of him, "Hurry up and get ready for the elevator to the sixth floor!" ”
"Yes!"
The jailers did not dare to slack off, and quickly dispersed, continuing to be busy with their work.
Jokes, this is serious! Now they're going to take the Golden Lion into custody!
Overlord of the sky!
The golden lion was naturally escorted by Karp himself, and he would not slack off at all.
And Ike is not honest at all when he lies on Karp's head, looking left and right, and is very curious about the super prison built on the bottom of the sea.
As the saying goes, it's better to see than to hear.
"Hahaha, that Magellan guy went to the toilet again?"
"That's right, with such an unreliable fruit ability, it is better to give me the position of deputy warden earlier...... Oops, it's leaking! ”
Feed! At this time, you are already eyeing Magellan's position!?
You really haven't changed your original intention, your soul is weak!
With Hannibal's heartless explanation, soon the elevator reached the sixth floor.
"Lieutenant General Karp, Golden Lion Shiki's cell is ready."
"Don't worry, take us to Roger first." Karp shook his head and said to Hannibal, "They have something to say. ”
Hannibal naturally had to meet Karp's request, so he didn't ask much and led Karp directly to Roger's cell.
"I'll be waiting for you outside." Hannibal took a look at the current situation, opened the door to his cell, and immediately withdrew, and then even ran some distance away.
Hannibal, who had run away, breathed a sigh of relief and wiped a handful of white sweat from his head.
Good guys, Golden Lion, Roger, and Karp are in a space that isn't too big......
It's too much pressure.
“…… Hahahaha! Karp: Don't you usually wear a dog's head hat? When Roger saw Karp, he laughed like he had seen an old friend, and mocked mercilessly, "Why did you change to a cat today?" Ready to go the cutie route? ”
"Ben Meow advises you to rat tail juice, even if it's cute, it should be Ben Meow, not this bad old man."
Ike lazily retorted to Roger, then looked around.
It seems that Roger has really reached an agreement with the Navy and Impelton.
There is not even a little restraint, and I am afraid that it is easier to break through than the cell on the first floor.
"The cat actually spoke?" Roger lowered his head, looked at Ike for a while, and then stopped paying attention, but turned to the golden lion, "Shiki, why did you get caught by this guy Karp?" If you want to escape, Karp can't help it, right? ”
"He attacked the Navy Headquarters alone, and then he played to the death like a fool, and he was beaten by the two old men Karp and Sengoku, and the result was ...... Hawkers, you're all pushing to get together in the city, do you need to say more? Ike stretched out his claws and looked left and right at Golden Lion and Roger, "Your bonds are really strange. ”
"Shiki ......"
"Roger......" The golden lion stared at Roger, carrying the heavy shackles of the sea building stone but still straightened his back, "Why did you turn yourself in?" ”
"I'm sick, very sick." Roger didn't look like he was questioned at all, and said calmly, "And I have it...... Important people. ”
"Someone important? What's more important than freedom!? You clearly said that the freest man on the sea is One Piece! You're about to be executed, what freedom are you talking about!? ”
The golden lion's beard was all open, his face was full of muscles, and he really grabbed Roger's collar like an angry lion, and his face was almost attached to Roger's face.
It turned out that the previous calm had only forcibly suppressed the anger, and his anger had been burning, surging back and forth in his chest, waiting for the final and complete release.
"I've always been the freest, I don't know later, but before I die, I must be the freest!" Roger's smile gradually gave birth to a little pride, and the One Piece who looked down on the world never changed, "It's my freedom to choose to protect the people who are important." It is my freedom to choose to turn myself in! I don't need to explain it to anyone, it's my freedom too! ”
"Damn sophistry!"
"It's that you're so arrogant that you won't trust anyone, so your crew is just a crew, not your companions."
"Roger, I trusted you! But you have betrayed my trust! ”
"The one you don't trust the most is actually yourself, right?" Roger shook his head, he didn't think there was anything to talk about with the Golden Lion, "You should have come to take me away, Karp?" Let's go. ”
"Let's go."
Karp nodded, got out of the way, and motioned for Roger to walk outside.
"The old days that belonged to us are over! Next, I'm going to start a new era! ”
"I am a golden lion, and my time will never end!"
This is the last conversation between the two when their bodies are staggered.
The belief of the strong will never compromise for others.
Even if it's a man who is recognized by himself!
