Not long after Golden Lion left the White Beard Pirates, news of his arrest spread from the sea. It was said that Golden Lion had personally attacked the navy headquarters in order to find Roger. However, he was suppressed by Karp and Sengoku before he could even see him. The battle between the three of them almost destroyed half of the navy headquarters. One could imagine how intense the battle was.
When White Beard received this news, he only sighed. In fact, he was not too surprised by this result. Golden Lion was indeed very strong, but he went to the navy headquarters, the headquarters of the navy. There were countless experts there. It would be strange if he did not get caught.
However, this was a very normal thing to White Beard. When it reached the pirate world, it caused a huge uproar. The arrest of the three legendary pirates on the sea, the Pirate King Roger, had already shocked the world. Now, another legendary pirate, the Golden Lion Shiki, had also been arrested. Was the navy going to completely wipe out the pirates?
However, when the news of Golden Lion's arrest spread, everyone understood what was going on. They all cursed Golden Lion in their hearts for overestimating himself. Everyone admitted that he was very strong, but he shouldn't be so suicidal. He went to the navy headquarters alone and asked the navy to let Roger go. What difference was that from courting death?
Not long after the Golden Lion wreaked havoc in Malinfando, the navy suddenly announced a major piece of news to the entire world. It was a piece of shocking news that shook the entire world. Everyone who heard the news was shaken to the core, especially the pirates.
One month later, the execution of One Piece King Roger would be announced in Roguetown of the East Sea!
Once the news spread, it exploded in the entire world's news industry. Countless news media rushed to publish this news. Some newspapers with strong intelligence even reported on Roger's deeds, such as where Roger was born, when he became a pirate, when he went out to sea, why he became the Pirate King, and many other things.
In short, Roger became the focus of the world at this moment, even more so than when he became the Pirate King.
As the first publicly acknowledged Pirate King in history, Roger had an extremely high status in the pirate world. Not all pirates regarded him as an idol, but at least 70% to 80% of the pirates looked up to him. Such a " Pirate King " was about to be publicly executed by the navy. One could imagine the impact it would have.
A large part of the reason why they decided to execute Roger so quickly was that Roger was feared by the higher-ups of the World Government. Others might not know what the legendary treasure was, but as the higher-ups of the World Government, the Five Old Stars and the others definitely knew something. That was why they were afraid of Roger, who knew the secrets of the World Government, and were prepared to execute Roger as soon as possible.
After learning that One Piece Roger was about to be publicly executed in his birthplace, Roguetown, countless people couldn't wait to take action. They headed to Roguetown in the East Sea. The scene of One Piece's execution would definitely be huge. Similarly, many people wanted to witness this historic moment.
"Dad, is Roger really going to be publicly executed by the Navy?”
When the news spread to the White Beard Pirates, Marko and the other pirates were in disbelief. Although they knew that Roger had been captured and might not have a future, they never expected it to come so soon. Moreover, he was going to be publicly executed in front of the world. This was simply a great humiliation.
White Beard sighed." Roger has his own plans. Let's not think too much about it. The execution place is in the East China Sea. We can't go there. When the time comes, we'll send him off."”
The atmosphere in the White Beard Pirates was rather depressing. Although they had fought Roger more than once at sea, there was no great enmity between the two sides. Instead, many of the pirates in the White Beard Pirates had a good impression of Roger. After all, he was also a powerful pirate.
But now, a legendary pirate who was respectfully addressed as 'One Piece King', was actually going to be executed in front of the world. This inevitably made people feel a little sad.
"Dad, I really want to see where Uncle Roger was executed.”Ji Lingyun said to the white-bearded man again.
" Ling Yun, didn't I tell you?" White Beard frowned." From now until the day of execution, Rogue Town is filled with danger. It's not that I don't want you to go, but I'm doing it for your safety."”
Ji Lingyun returned to his room with a depressed expression. He was worried in his heart. He went to Roguetown not only to send Roger off, but he had more important things to do. The upcoming changes in the times had given him great pressure. He did not want to stay in the White Beard Pirates forever and be protected by them. He had his own path to walk, so he had to go on this trip to Roguetown.
However, the problem now was that White Beard did not allow him to go at all. Ji Lingyun understood White Beard very well. Although White Beard was very easy to talk to, once he decided, it was almost impossible to make him go back on his word.
"What should we do? What should I do?" Ji Lingyun paced back and forth in the room with an anxious expression.
However, what Ji Lingyun didn't know was that White Beard had called Marko into his room.
"Dad, you were looking for me?" Marko did it for White Beard's sake. He was very curious. It should be resting time now, but White Beard actually called him over alone. Could it be that there was something that couldn't be said during the day?
White Beard was not as relaxed as he was during the day. Instead, he said to Marko with a serious face,"You know that Ling Yun wants to send Roger off to Roguetown, right?”
Marko nodded." I know, Dad. What's wrong?"”
The white-bearded man sighed." Ling Yun has a very stubborn personality. Even though I rejected him, he would definitely think of ways to go if he really wanted to. Instead of letting him cause a ruckus, it would be better to let him go to Mayor Rogge and gain some knowledge. However, I'm worried about his safety, so I want you to go with him.”
"Dad, are you saying that Ling Yun and I should go secretly?" Marko asked in surprise.”
"It's to make Ling Yun think that you've sneaked away." The white-bearded man laughed.”
Marko's eyes turned and he immediately understood what White Beard meant. He chuckled and said,""Don't worry, Dad, leave it to me.”
