One Piece: Shadow of the Navy

Chapter 23 End and Begin



The afternoon sun shines directly on the ground, baking the ground to the point of burning your feet, and baking the air until it's as sultry as a big steamer.

The central street leading to the execution platform was densely packed with people. People kept squeezing in front of the execution platform. The people at the back wanted to get closer to the execution platform, while the people in the front didn't want to be squeezed away by others. Deadly occupied the position.

"Wow, Captain, there are so many people." Shankos put his hand in front of his forehead, blocking the dazzling sunlight and looking forward.

"Of course, if possible, everyone would like to come and experience such a big event." Vio Common stretched out his hand to pull away the people in front of him and squeezed forward.

"Haha, that's right. I didn't expect that this matter would be placed in our East China Sea, and it would be so close to our mission destination. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the chance to come and see it." Shankos stood on tiptoe and looked ahead. While squeezing through the gap created by Vio Common, he pushed forward.

"He is one of your people who went out to the East China Sea. Isn't it normal for him to choose to stay in the East China Sea? Damn it, he's so crowded." Vio Common cursed angrily while squeezing towards the execution platform.

Finally, after exhausting all their efforts, the three of them finally squeezed into a position closer to the execution platform.

"Hey, hey, Common, it's coming, it's coming." Shankos, who was looking around on tiptoes, hurriedly reached out and patted Vio Common on the shoulder, and reminded him.

Vio Common also stopped pushing forward, stood in the crowd and looked towards an isolated road in the middle of the avenue.

However, due to their height, the two of them could not see anything except the dark backs of their heads and a blade that shone coldly in the sun.

"Damn it, I can't see anything." Shankos put his hand on his forehead and pulled the shoulder of the figure in front of him with his other hand. He stood on tiptoe and looked forward while saying in an annoyed tone.

On one side, Vio Common, who was about the same height as him, was also tiptoeing desperately, trying to see the scene in the center, but it was in vain.

At this time, the tall figure who had been following the two reached out and grabbed the back collar of their clothes, and lifted the two little guys who were only about 1.6 meters tall like two chickens.

The man is about 1.9 meters tall. Being slightly taller than the surrounding crowd allows him to clearly see the situation in the middle of the road.

"Ah, thank you, Captain." The two brats thanked them and then hurriedly looked towards the center of the road, worried that they would not be able to see anything after being late.

"Wow, is that the Pirate King? It's so awesome. Those soldiers carrying knives are like followers." Shankos finally saw the middle of the avenue and immediately screamed, shouting.

Vio Common, who also saw the scene in the center of the avenue clearly, did not make any noise like Shankos. He just looked at the man being escorted by the soldiers quietly.

Watch him pass through the crowd and walk up to the high execution platform.

"The will passed down from generation to generation, the changes of the times, people's dreams, as long as people continue to pursue the answer to freedom, all of these will never stop."

As Roger climbed onto the execution platform, his quiet voice reached the ears of everyone under the execution platform.

"Any last words?" the soldier in charge of the execution asked as usual.

Roger glanced at him and raised his shackled hand towards the soldier, "Take this off for me, I can't stand the itch."

"This can't be done."

"How could I escape?" Roger put down his hand, "What? It's so boring."

Roger walked to the middle of the execution platform and sat cross-legged on the execution platform. "Come on, let's get it done quickly."

Roger's face was indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

The two soldiers responsible for the execution raised their long knives and began preparations for the execution.

The crowd under the execution platform suddenly became commotion.

"Hey, Pirate King," a voice came from the audience, attracting the attention of the three people on the execution platform.

"Where did you hide all the treasures you found? Is it really in the Grand Line? Did you really get it? That legendary secret treasure,"

"Shut up." The executioner turned his head to look at the crowd and yelled loudly.

But the voices in the audience did not stop, "That unique secret treasure, 'ONEPIECE'."

"Uh huh huh, huh hahahahaha." Roger, who was sitting on the execution platform, raised his head and burst out laughing.

"Want my treasure?"

"Don't speak without permission." The executioner's soldier suddenly became nervous and yelled.

"If you want, I can give it all to you. Go find it. I put all the treasures there..."

With the sound of "execution", the Pirate King ended his short but glorious life.

The crowd suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and the next moment, deafening cheers suddenly rang out.

"what……"

Zhou Teng Keen stared at the soundless figure on the execution platform for a while, then put down the two imps in his hands, "Let's go back."

Shankos and Vio Common stood firm, turned around and caught up with Cohen.

"Captain, is what Goldo Roger said true? Did he really put 'ONEPIECE' in the Grand Line?" Shankos caught up with Cohen and asked excitedly.

Cohen stopped.

He turned to look at Shankos who looked excited, "What? Are you very interested in that? Do you want to find it too?"

"Ah?" The excitement on Shankos's face dissipated and he said with a look of disgust, "I don't want to go looking for it. The Grand Line is so dangerous. I don't know how I died. I just asked Roger to let the secret treasure go." Where are you interested?"

"Captain, does the Great Secret Treasure really exist?" Vio Common asked curiously.

"I don't know whether the so-called 'ONEPIECE' really exists, but I know that because of Gol D. Roger's words, the fragile balance on the already chaotic sea has been broken, and a more... Chaotic times are coming.”

"I also know that the time for meritorious service and promotion has come."

Cohen reached out and touched the heads of the two brats and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, he ignored the two confused little guys and turned around to leave.
