Chapter 213: The Beginning of the Conflict! (2-in-1)
Roger's death is not the end of an era, but the beginning of an era.
The impact of One Piece Roger's public execution by the Navy has only just begun.
As his dying words spread to the rest of the world in various ways, countless people who pursued the dream of getting rich overnight rushed to the sea and poured into the great voyage to chase the great secret treasure in Roger's mouth.
The four seas, which were once peaceful, began to become chaotic, and even the people of the East China Sea, which is known as the "symbol of peace", are surging with ambition and pouring into the sea.
And coincidentally, the place where Roger was executed happened to be in Rogue Town in the East China Sea, when Roger was executed, there were many pirates from all over the world gathered in Rogue Town.
These pirates also provided some convenience for people who wanted to go to sea, so the East China Sea, which used to be the most peaceful and tranquil, has become the most chaotic place in the four seas.
Roger's death has an impact on the world's security environment on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is on Roger's former crew.
One Piece died, and the world government began to "settle accounts after the autumn", and the CPs directly under the government went out en masse to search for people and things that were once related to Roger all over the world.
For those crew members who once lived on the Roger Pirates, a frenzied hunt also began.
Not only these crew members, but even Tom, who once built a pirate ship for Roger, the fish-man known as the "world's first boatsmith", is also regarded as a thorn in the side of the world government.
The matter of building a ship for Roger became his "crime" and was sentenced to death by the world government.
It's just because Tom needs to build a "sea train" for the capital of the seven waters, that the world government has opened a net on this matter and pressed Tom's death sentence backwards. When Tom successfully built the sea train, it was when Tom was taken away and executed.
And the day after Roger's death, the World Government had a reward, they caught a crew member who had been on Roger's ship, and this crew member had met with Roger before he turned himself in, knew that Roger had a wife, and also knew that Roger's wife was pregnant.
After the crew member was captured by the World Government, he was overshadowed by a Devil Fruit ability in CP9, and the news about Roger's wife and children was also leaked.
Fortunately, Roger did not give his wife's name and location in detail when he talked to the crew, so the world government did not take action in the first place.
But the world government was also shocked when it got the news.
One Piece Roger has a baby? How can they accept this kind of thing?
Roger was already giving them a lot of headaches, and Roger was a damn D-one. His son, the "Son of the Devil", would never have been able to give birth to that child.
For this reason, the world government put everything else aside for the time being, and began to go all out to track down the whereabouts of Roger's wife and children.
It is precisely because the world government learned of this news that Patrila Island in the South China Sea has also been paid more and more attention by the people of the world government.
Originally, the World Government only found out that Roger had stayed on the island, but as the investigation deepened, they found that Roger had stayed on the island for a very long time.
In other words, since Roger went to Ralph Drew, he spent most of the rest of his time on Patrila Island in the South China Sea.
This also deepened the suspicion of the world government, and began to impose martial law on the entire island, and began to search all the women of working age on the island, whether married or unmarried, are the targets of investigation.
And due to the lack of personnel, the naval branches that were closer to Patrila Island received orders to cooperate fully with the CP9 investigation.
A rear admiral, leading three or four nearby branches, nearly a thousand navies arrived on Patrila Island for the people of the World Government to drive.
The island, began to be completely under martial law.
During this time, Cyrus and others, who found Lujiu, did not leave the island smoothly. Because what they thought before was that they planned to wait for the people of the World Government to leave, and then leave with Lu Jiu.
At that time, Cyrus did not expect that Roger's wife and children would be leaked, and the people of the World Government at that time were already alert, and if they wanted to leave by boat, they would need to go through the inspection of the World Government.
In this regard, there is no way for Cyrus to silently take Lu Jiu away from under the nose of the World Government.
If he forcibly breaks in, it will undoubtedly cause trouble for the Jiguo Yuan, which Cyrus does not want to see.
But after the news of "Roger has a wife and children" was leaked, the people of the world government sealed the entire island, and no ships were allowed to leave the island, and the situation of Cyrus became more passive.
At noon, there was a noise in the streets.
Cyrus and the others pushed open the window, and saw groups of sailors speeding through the streets.
In the past few days, the world government has figured out the number of women on the entire island, as well as the number of pregnant women.
In order to "never have an accident", the world government has decided to execute all the pregnant women on this island, along with the children in their wombs!
Don't look at the cruelty and ruthlessness of this order, this is already the result of the Marshal Steel's empty fight.
Originally, according to the original intention of the World Government, it was intended to use the Demon Slaying Order.
Being able to persuade the world government to dispel this idea is enough to see that the steel bones still have some "face" in the eyes of the top leaders, and their status is completely different from that of the future Admiral Sakasky.
But let alone the use of the Demon Slaying Order, even the current decision is already contrary to "justice".
Vice Admiral Karp also lost his temper after learning the news, and at this time he had already left the Navy Headquarters and returned to his hometown East China Sea to relax. Under Karp's leadership, there were many voices of opposition within the navy, but they were all strongly suppressed by the steel skeleton.
What if you don't press it down? No matter how noisy the people at the bottom are, they can't change the result!
On the streets, groups of sailors walked past the street in front of Cyrus, looking at the chaotic streets, Cyrus frowned slightly, not knowing what was happening.
They have very few ways to receive news on this island, and so far, they do not know what is happening, only that this island is under martial law, and all ships are not allowed to leave.
"I don't know what happened all of a sudden, but so many navies came to this island."
"For a while, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."
"Do you need to report to Lieutenant General Jiguo about the situation here?"
Standing on the edge of the windowsill with a smile, he sensed the situation outside with a domineering look, and said worriedly to Cyrus, I don't know why, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
In fact, it is not only a smile that feels this way, but also Cyrus and Mihawk.
The tense atmosphere that pervades the town can be felt even by ordinary people, let alone strong people like them.
"Let's wait and see"
"Maybe it's temporary, and martial law will be opened soon."
"If we have to consult the lieutenant general for such a 'trivial matter', we will inevitably be too useless."
"I'll go down and ask what's going on."
As he spoke, Cyrus wanted to leave the room, intending to rely on his naval status to find someone to ask what was going on.
Just as Cyrus was about to leave, a roar of rage came from the streets.
A few people looked up and happened to see a team of navies dragging out a young woman with a bulging belly from a resident's house.
And a thin man tugged at the arm of the navy dressed in the "righteousness", and while trying to snatch his wife from the hands of these navy, he roared at the navy:
"What are you going to do?!"
"Why are you arresting my wife!"
"My wife hasn't done anything, you've caught the wrong person, let her go!"
In the face of the man's pull, the sailor frowned, looked at the other party a little unbearably, and then quickly took the gun without saying a word and smashed the butt on the man's chin.
The emaciated man was in pain and let go of his arms.
"This is an order from above, we didn't arrest the wrong person!"
The sailor looked at the man who fell to the ground, put away his sympathy and unbearability, and said indifferently.
The world government does things, and that is quite "disciplined". The order to kill all the pregnant women on the island was given by the World Government, and the order given by the Navy Headquarters to the branch was to fully cooperate with CP9's operations.
And the CP9s also have a heart, they are only responsible for the affairs of the search, and the arrest and execution of such things are all lost to the "just" navy.
Even CP9, the scum whose hands are stained with the blood of ordinary people, does not want to be responsible for such a thing that provokes public anger.
Although this so-called public anger is not painful for them at all.
The indifferent navy was like a merciless machine, escorting the pregnant woman before preparing to leave.
However, at this moment, a young strong man with a big sword on his back blocked their way. Behind the strong man, there were two more people.
A blind man, an eagle-eyed man.
"Can your behavior still be considered a navy?"
"Is this what you should do if you don't teach and punish such things?"
"What did she do?"
The three people who stood in front of this group of navy were none other than the three of Cyrus.
The leader of Cyrus asked the navy with a calm face, and behind his calm was full of anger. Treating the people is actually such an arrogant attitude, if these navies have no way to give him a reasonable explanation today, he will definitely not be able to accept such a thing.
"Who are you?"
"We are the Navy, we are on a mission, no one is waiting to leave!"
"Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
A sergeant in his early thirties stepped out of the line and drove towards Cyrus and the others, and as he spoke, the sailors behind him raised their guns.
A volley of muzzles, aimed at Cyrus and others.
"Huh?!"
"You guys!"
"Is the Navy doing things like you?"
Cyrus couldn't help but snort when he saw this, and then his eyes kicked out, and he couldn't help but let out an angry low roar in his throat.
"We don't need other people to dictate things in our navy."
"You people, give it to me quickly."
Just as the sergeant waved his hand to continue to drive Cyrus and the others away, he suddenly felt someone tugging at the corner of his coat. Looking back, he found that it was a young navy in the team, who had come to him at this moment, pulling the corner of his clothes with a pale face.
"Sergeant."
"I think I've seen those two people somewhere."
Hearing his subordinates pointing at Mihawk and Yixiao, the sergeant only glanced at his subordinates and said in a righteous voice:
"Whether you know it or not, we must carry out the orders of our superiors."
"You guys, get out of the way quickly, if you don't get out of the way, you will bear the consequences!"
As he spoke, the sergeant raised his hand and signaled to his subordinates, and at the same time, seeing his signal, a group of naval fingers also fell on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time.
"It's really true. Fierce! ”
"I can't see this filth, and I don't know if it's my luck or misfortune."
Sensing the movement of the navy, Yixiao sighed, and slowly brought the cane to his chest, his right hand already on the hilt.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Mihawk stood behind Cyrus, clasped his hands on his chest, and looked at Cyrus's slightly trembling body a few times, feeling a little funny.
If the righteous navy hadn't seen such a scene here today, he would really be brainwashed by Ji Guoyuan to join the navy.
In the final analysis, his judgment is still right, isn't the navy just an ordinary person standing under the banner of "justice"?
Money, power, power.
Isn't the Navy chasing these things that everyone is chasing? Justice? What is that?
"Cyrus, what are we going to do now?"
"Do you want to back off? These 'righteous' navies are also carrying out 'missions'. ”
Mihawk asked with a chuckle as the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
He wasn't a navy, and looking at the scene in front of him, Mihawk's anger was far less intense than that of Cyrus and Smile.
He wanted to see what Cyrus would do now.
As a navy, will you shoot at the other side who are also navy?
When Cyrus heard this, his expression changed several times, as if he was considering what to do.
And the sergeant, seeing that Cyrus was slow to let go, his face also turned cold, and he raised his hand and prepared to fall.
"Sergeant! Wait a minute! ”
At this moment, the young sailor hurriedly grabbed the sergeant's arm, yelled, and handed the sergeant a newspaper that he had found out of nowhere.
"He, he. They are also Navy! ”
As he spoke, the young sailor pointed to the newspaper photo.
Looking at the location of the photo pointed by his subordinates, the sergeant couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
This is a previous newspaper, and it is reported that it is a photo of Ji Guoyuan when he had just captured Roger and returned to Dressrosa to get off the ship.
In the photo, Ji Guoyuanyi and Roger's layout is of course the largest, but several navies who followed Ji Guoyuan also showed their faces, Yixiao, Mihawk and others were impressively listed.
"You are"
The sergeant raised his head in astonishment, compared the appearance on the photo with the appearance of the people in front of him, his tone changed, and his posture instantly became solemn.
The Navy that participated in the capture of Roger!
To them, the native navy of the four seas, that's an adult!
The sergeant instructed his men to put down their guns, and hurriedly trotted in front of Cyrus, and after a salute, he did not know for a moment what to call Cyrus.
Facing the sergeant's low profile, the anger between Cyrus's eyebrows did not dissipate, and he asked:
"Now, can you tell us what happened to the woman you captured?"
Cyrus asked in a deep voice, and the woman who was escorted by the sailors in the distance also realized that there seemed to be some "big man" coming, and immediately shouted: "No!!" I've never done anything! ”
"I was wronged, I didn't do anything!"
The woman's mournful cry made Cyrus's brow tighter.
Hearing these words, the sergeant looked embarrassed, looked at the people gathered more and more around him, and could only hook his hand towards Cyrus, and after Cyrus lowered his ear, he explained in a low voice:
"Sir, this is an order from above."
"We are the Navy of the S-331 branch of the South China Sea, and the order given to us by the Navy Headquarters is to cooperate with the CP9 operation of the World Government."
"This time the operation. It is to capture all the pregnant women on this island and execute them secretly. ”
"I heard that One Piece Roger stayed here for a long time before he was executed, he had a wife, and his wife was pregnant."
What the sergeant said was partly official information, and partly information that he had obtained through some means. These things were supposed to be classified, but in the face of Cyrus and the others, the sergeant had no idea of hiding it.
He just wanted to make it clear and ask the other party not to stop him from carrying out the mission.
However, when he heard the news, Cyrus's face was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened, and the anger in his chest poured out directly.
"Execute all the pregnant women on the island?!"
At first, when he heard that the navy was looking for Roger's wife and children, he was not so angry, but when he heard that all the pregnant women on the island were going to be executed, Cyrus's hair stood on end.
And Cyrus's roar also attracted the attention of everyone around, and when the people heard the news, their faces changed suddenly, and some people couldn't care about the excitement anymore and left one after another.
In fact, when Cyrus and the others confronted this group of navies, the arrest of pregnant women could be seen everywhere on this island.
Roars, pleadings, and cries filled the island.
The calm and peaceful island of Patrila can be said to be in dire straits at this moment.
"Bastard!!"
"What are you kidding!"
Cyrus couldn't help but burst into a loud shout, grabbed the sergeant in front of him by the collar, and lifted the other party up.
At the same time, he roared at the navy:
"Who are you leading this operation! I want to see him! ”
"I'm Cyrus of the Dawn branch of the New World, and I want to see him!"
Cyrus's shouts rang out far and wide, and when the sailors saw that the sergeant was caught by Cyrus, they hurriedly pointed their guns at Cyrus. The sergeant who was carried by Cyrus also noticed the movements of his subordinates, and hurriedly said: "Don't mess around, inform Major General Cobb!" ”
Hearing the sergeant's shout, the navy under his command quickly found a communications officer, took out a phone bug and began to report.
Seeing that the other party cooperated, Cyrus snorted coldly, threw off the sergeant, and also took out the phone bug, and began to contact Jiguo Yuanyi.
Cyrus knew very well that things were going on.
The order was given by the headquarters of the Navy, and in his capacity it was impossible to change the will of the headquarters of the Navy.
Cyrus would never allow the navy to create such a horrific slaughter under his nose, and he had to stop it from happening. Reported to Jiguo Yuanyi, Cyrus also hoped to get the support of Jiguo Yuanyi, Cyrus knew that if Jiguo Yuanyi knew, he would never let such a thing go!
