In the crowd, Ji Lingyun saw quite a few 'familiars'. Because these people were all very unique, Ji Lingyun was able to recognize them at a glance.
For example, Hawkeye, whom he had met once, stood in the middle of the crowd, neither advancing nor retreating. There was also the future 'King's Seven Martial Seas' like Hawkeye, Moonlight Moria, Bartholomew Bear, and the feathered coat Doflemingo. Finally, there was a young man with a scar on his face. If Ji Lingyun guessed correctly, he should be the Sand Crocodile Krogdal.
Ji Lingyun's gaze swept across the surrounding buildings and quickly locked onto a figure. When he saw Lei Li, Lei Li also smiled and held a wine pot to salute him. At the same time, his eyes indicated that everything was going according to plan.
Ji Lingyun smiled slightly. He realized that many of the people surrounding the execution platform were not simple. Under his awakened senses, there were many powerful auras hidden in the crowd. He did not know if these people were from the navy or were really here to watch the battle.
However, according to Ji Lingyun's observations, he discovered that many of the 'commoners' were dressed very strangely, appearing neither fish nor water. This was because they had an aura that could not be wiped off, and that was the aura of pirates. Because Ji Lingyun often felt this aura in the White Beard Pirates, and because he himself had this aura, he could feel the same aura.
"How interesting. It seems that my guess was right. Many people can't hold it in anymore. Hehe, they might not know what is going to happen next, but they clearly have a premonition that today will be different.”
Perhaps only Ji Lingyun knew what the world would become after today. However, it didn't mean that no one could see through it. They might not know what was going on, but they definitely had a premonition that Roger's death would bring about a huge change to the world and the sea.
"Hey, kid, are you here to watch One Piece Roger's execution ceremony?”
Just as Ji Lingyun was looking around, someone suddenly hit him. He turned around and saw a young man wearing a hat, carrying a camera on his back, holding a pen and notebook in his hand. This person looked very young, about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Ji Lingyun looked at this person curiously and asked,""Are you a reporter?"
Hearing Ji Lingyun's question, the young man immediately said happily,"" Yes, I'm a reporter. Today is my first time coming out to gather information. Haha, I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to witness such a huge scene on my first time out. One Piece Roger's public execution will definitely become world-shaking news.”
"Haha."
" Then you have to keep your eyes wide open later. The execution of One Piece King is indeed world-shaking news. However, other than this incident today, there might be other major events that will similarly shock the world."”
The young reporter was stunned by Ji Lingyun's words. He did not understand what Ji Lingyun meant at all. He carefully sized up Ji Lingyun and realized that Ji Lingyun was actually carrying a sword on his back. This made him even more puzzled. He wanted to continue talking, but he realized that Ji Lingyun completely ignored him and looked elsewhere.
"Silence!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out. A person had appeared on the execution platform. This person was tall and wore a navy justice coat. He stood on the execution platform with a calm expression. It was the current Navy Marshal Kong.
"He's the admiral!"
It was the first time many of them had seen Admiral Kong, but the discussion quickly died down. Everyone quieted down and looked at Kong. With Kong's appearance, everyone knew that the public execution was about to begin.
Ji Lingyun didn't have the time to listen to Kong's nonsense. He realized that after appearing from the sky, the higher-ups of the navy slowly appeared. First, it was the navy general Zhan Guo, general Zefa, lieutenant general Ka Pu, followed by the younger generation of the navy, general candidates Chi Quan, Qing Zhi, Huang Yuan, etc. Other than them, there were also quite a number of navy lieutenant generals scattered around.
Although this lineup could not compare to the total combat strength of the navy during the war, its high-end combat strength was not weak either. The reason why the navy was so serious was that they were afraid that someone would come to save Roger.
"This group of navy is really generous. They've brought out 90% of the high-end combat power of the navy headquarters. If someone were to sneak attack the navy headquarters at this time, hehe, that would be interesting.”
However, such thoughts were just a casual thought. Seeing such a lineup, Ji Lingyun could not help but frown. He realized that he had thought too simply. The navy had come prepared this time. Executing the One Piece King was of great significance. They could not tolerate any mishaps.
" Ding, ding, ding…"
Just as Ji Lingyun was thinking about what to do next, the crisp sound of chains suddenly rang out. In an instant, the entire square became even quieter. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Roger was walking briskly. He was wearing dirty clothes that were not messy. He was smiling as he walked towards them step by step. His hands and feet were shackled. Just one look and one could tell that the weight of the chains was shocking. However, it did not affect Roger's pace at all. The sound of the chains hitting each other added a different feeling.
"Roger, he's One Piece King Roger!”
"One Piece King!"
After a short silence, the square suddenly erupted with a shocking sound. Everyone stretched their necks and rushed to look at Roger, causing the huge square to become chaotic. One could imagine how shocking Roger's reputation was, even though such a reputation was considered a bad name to most people.
Seeing this scene, Admiral Kong instantly revealed a nervous expression. Today was an important day to execute One Piece King Roger. There could not be any mishaps. He also knew that there might be many pirates hidden in the crowd, and there might even be many people with ill intentions. Therefore, he definitely could not give these people any chance.
