Just as Enichi Jiguo was happily talking to his new subordinates, General Sengoku was feeling quite nervous at the moment.
After hearing the news of Barrett's death, Roger's mood became very strange. His domineering aura was beyond his control and spread out in all directions.
The terrifying domineering force directly penetrated the cell, passed through the deck of the warship, and quickly spread towards the surrounding sea areas. The sailors who were operating the warship in the cab, as well as the sailors who were patrolling and watching on the deck, were swept away by Roger's domineering look. They rolled their eyes, lost consciousness, and fell to the ground.
Roger's domineering aura directly enveloped the entire naval fleet. At this moment, all the warships became unmanned and stopped one after another.
In a certain cabin of the No. 0 battleship, Garp, who had just laid down for a while, was suddenly awakened by the sudden overbearing aura. After quickly getting up from the bed, he hurriedly walked towards the cell where Roger was held.
"That boy Barrett was killed?!"
Roger grabbed the railing with both hands, his face solemn, and asked Seng Guo outside the fence. It was clear that when Jiguo Yuanyi reported this matter to Warring States just now, he heard it clearly.
But at this moment, Roger didn't seem to hear what Enichi Jiguo just said, and asked Sengoku uncertainly.
He didn't want to believe this and looked forward to hearing a different answer from Warring States' mouth.
"ah!"
"If the person who reported it was Jiguo Enichi, then there would be absolutely nothing wrong with this matter."
"Barrett, the descendant of the devil, must have been killed by Enichi Tsukuni!"
Warring States put down his hands on his chest at this moment, slowly walked to the cell, looked at Roger, and said in a deep voice.
"Dead. Really dead!"
"How dare you."
Just as he said this, Roger suddenly shuddered, then covered his head and said with a bitter smile:
"Hehehehe."
"Speaking of which, my pirate group has been disbanded! Barrett has also left my ship long ago."
"Speaking of which, I, the captain, have been caught by your navy. I'm afraid it won't be long before I'm executed by your navy, right?"
"That guy Barrett... I killed him."
"Hehehehahahaha!"
At the end of the sentence, Roger actually covered his head and laughed "haha", feeling a little out of control.
Warring States was wary, but he saw that Roger didn't seem to have any intention of attacking the cell, and he noticed that the domineering aura emanating from Roger began to gradually dissipate, and his expression softened somewhat.
At this moment, the cell door was pushed open, and Lieutenant General Garp hurriedly walked into the cell. Seeing that Roger was still imprisoned in the cell, his solemn expression softened a lot.
Seeing that Roger seemed "very happy", Garp couldn't help complaining to Roger:
"Hey, Roger, you don't have any rest at night, why are you so crazy?"
"If you want to escape, do it quickly!"
"It's been a long time since we competed. It just so happens that I can also stretch my muscles!"
As he spoke, Garp clenched his fist, and there were bursts of bone-exploding sounds from his fingers, looking like a reckless man who was ready to take action.
Sensing Garp's arrival, Sengoku also turned around, looked at Garp, and said to Garp: "Jigoku Enichi killed Douglas Barrett."
Suddenly hearing the name Barrett, Garp didn't react for a moment. He looked a little confused when he heard the words. He glanced at Roger, whose laughter gradually subsided, and Garp suddenly realized who Barrett was!
"Douglas Barrett?"
"The kid who got off that guy Roger's boat?"
As he said that, Garp also looked at Roger. He suddenly realized that Roger's smile just now was probably not because he was happy.
"Ah! Yes!"
"That's Douglas Barrett, who was on my ship."
"Your navy has produced a truly remarkable guy!"
In the cell, Roger responded in a deep voice.
At this time, his eyes were bloodshot, and the dim kerosene lamp cast the shadow of the fence on his slightly pale face, making Roger's face look a little haggard at this time. Roger is in a very bad mood now.
The shadow of death has always been hanging over his heart. Until now, he even heard the news of the death of his former partner. The repeated blows made people like Roger feel a little confused.
After so many years of traveling across the ocean, this was the first time someone close to him had died.
At this moment, Roger thought of many things.
He knew very clearly how much some people in the World Government wanted him to die, and Roger also knew clearly how much his name as "Pirate King" would attract to him and his crew. of hatred.
The World Government did not know about the previous news of the disbandment of the Roger Pirates. Therefore, facing Roger, the first "King" regiment in history, the Navy did not take any further measures after the failure of the Shuixianxing Island operation.
But this situation may be different in the future.
With Barrett's death, Roger has been able to foresee some things in the future. After he, the Pirate King, is executed, the World Government may not only investigate his actions and eliminate all traces of his existence.
The World Government will probably also start investigating the whereabouts of his crew members, and then find and kill them one by one.
To be honest, before today, Roger was full of confidence in his crew. He believed that as long as his crew were not stupid enough to attack the navy headquarters, their lives would not be in danger.
Even if he can't defeat the pursuing navy, he should have no problem escaping from the enemy's grasp.
But Roger realized that he might have underestimated the power of the navy. If the navy sent people like Jiguoyuan to hunt down his crew members all over the world, then there might not be many crew members who could escape from Jiguoyuan. Out of three.
At this moment, Roger suddenly felt that he had not made enough arrangements before surrendering to the navy.
Before surrendering, he actually told his companions not to come to rescue him, but he only missed Barrett, who had already disembarked. It was precisely because of his mistake that Barrett broke into Jiguo Enichi's naval branch and was killed.
This is where his self-blame comes from.
Roger knew that he would never survive. What he was most worried about now was actually his family and companions.
“What a great guy?”
"If Enichi knew that the Pirate King praised him so much, I'm afraid he would also be happy."
"Roger Barrett is a pirate, Tsukuni Yuichi is a navy."
"He will die because he took the wrong path! If you want to blame it, blame him."
"And you, too, are on the wrong track."
Seeing the visible loss and haggardness on Roger's face, Garp actually walked to the cell, sat cross-legged on the ground, and spoke to comfort Roger.
His relationship with Roger is very delicate.
Due to their positions, the two are enemies, but also because of their personalities, they are also friends. Garp knew more about Roger. He remembered that Jiguoyuan had told him that Roger was seriously ill and did not have much time left.
Combined with the way Roger and Jiguoyuan were getting along with each other in the Navy branch before, Garp felt that Roger was probably not caught by Jiguoyuan, but went to the Navy branch of Jiguoyuan on his own initiative.
The life of Pirate King Roger may have entered a countdown.
Garp is a person who is rough on the outside but subtle on the inside. Relying on his intuition, he has already guessed everything.
"Wrong way?"
"No! I didn't go the wrong way!"
"The wrong person is not me!"
Hearing this, Roger's eyes suddenly lit up and his face turned rosy. He seemed to have thought of something, and his heart was more excited than ever.
"What? Do you want to tell me that being a pirate is still the right way?!"
"asshole!"
Garp was also a little confused by Roger's words and yelled angrily.
At this moment, Roger also sat cross-legged on the ground and laughed again. This time, his laughter was filled with joy and joy.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Garp, as long as you live long enough, you will see it one day!"
"It's not me who's wrong!"
"The right person will eventually be guided by fate to the right path!"
"You, your navy, can't stop us!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Roger laughed wildly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes squeezed together, and there were even glistening tears.
Seeing Roger like this, both Sengoku and Garp were a little confused, wondering why this guy suddenly went crazy. However, since the other party had no intention of escaping from prison, the two of them felt relieved.
Just as Roger was being escorted back to the navy headquarters, Cyrus, Mihawk, and Yixiao were driving a "merchant ship" toward Patrila Island in the South China Sea.
Patela Island in the South China Sea has a standard temperate climate with four distinct seasons.
By the time Cyrus and others left the New World and entered the South China Sea, it was already late September.
On the blue sea, a red merchant ship was sailing slowly on the sea. On the deck, Cyrus held a nautical chart in one hand, sitting cross-legged on the ground and looking at it carefully.
Patrila Island is an island belonging to the Kingdom of Oran. There is only one small town on the island that is mainly engaged in farming. The permanent population is probably less than 10,000, which is a very small number.
"Only the Kingdom of Oran is marked on this chart, not Patrila Island."
"It doesn't seem to be an easy task to find the woman the Lieutenant General mentioned."
On the deck, Cyrus looked at the chart carefully, but failed to find the target of this trip, so he couldn't help but scratch his head and muttered.
Mihawk, who was traveling with Cyrus, was currently holding the black sword with both hands and was concentrating on practicing. Yixiao, on the other hand, was lying next to the railing, holding the fishing rod in one hand and playing with the dice with the other. He looked content and had no intention of caring about Cyrus at all.
Cyrus would mutter, hoping that his two partners could give him some advice, but unexpectedly, these two guys were immersed in their own worlds, and the mission assigned by Ji Guoyuan seemed to have nothing to do with them. Same.
"Mr. Yixiao, Mr. Mihawk, don't you two have any good suggestions to give me?"
Cyrus asked aloud, raised his head, and looked at Mihawk who was practicing on the front deck and Yixiao who was fishing on the side of the ship.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on his face. He turned his head slightly and said to Cyrus: "Cyrus, you know, I am a blind man. I can't give you any advice on navigation."
As soon as Yixiao finished speaking, Mihawk also said immediately:
"Cyrus, you know, I have always only focused on 'this', and I can't give you any advice."
"Besides, isn't the Kingdom of Oran already marked on your chart? Since Patrila Island is in the Kingdom of Oran, you can just ask after you go there."
When Mihawk spoke, he raised the black knife in his hand towards Cyrus and smiled at Cyrus.
Hearing this, Cyrus couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face, raised the chart in his hand, and said to Mihawk:
"Speaking of which, you may not believe that the Kingdom of Oran belongs to that kind of United States."
"It was formed by more than a dozen island countries, and its territory is so large!"
Shaking the chart, Mihawk was also attracted by Cyrus's words and turned to look over. What Cyrus holds in his hand is a civilian nautical chart of the South China Sea. As a civilian nautical chart, it is not detailed. That is a "characteristic".
In order to avoid the suspicion of the Navy Headquarters, Tsukuni Enichi did not go to the Navy Headquarters to obtain chart information of the South China Sea. The chart of the South China Sea in their hands was purchased at a high price from merchants passing through Dressrosa.
Charts are extremely precious things in this world.
Now that there are no global satellites, those who can draw sea maps are the talents among talents. Of course, the Navy and the World Government have the richest collection of nautical charts in the world. Other ordinary people are restricted from using nautical charts.
The purpose is to prevent more ordinary people from going to sea. Being able to obtain civilian nautical charts of the South China Sea also cost a lot for Jiguo Yuanyi.
The territory of the Oran Kingdom is very large. If you really want to count it, I am afraid it occupies 1/20 of the entire South China Sea.
It is not easy to find Patrila Island in such a large place. When Cyrus and the others came out in a hurry, they thought it was a simple mission to pick up people, but they didn't expect that this mission actually hid such a big hole.
"Well, let's look for it slowly." Mihawk smiled and said casually when he saw the huge area of the Oran Kingdom in Cyrus' hands.
Cyrus sighed and nodded helplessly.
At this moment, a white news bird flew over the head of the merchant ship, and a roll of newspapers fell from the sky and hit Cyrus at his feet.
Cyrus picked up the newspaper and took a look. When he saw the information on the front page, his pupils shrank suddenly and he murmured:
"We...seem to have no way to find it slowly!"
"Pirate King Roger will be publicly executed by our navy in Roger Town on September 28th!"
The headline on the front page of the newspaper in Cyrus' hand was the navy's "announcement" to the world. On the 28th of this month, that is, September 28, Pirate King Gol Roger will be publicly executed in Rogge Town in the East China Sea!
The Navy concealed the "D" in Roger's name, announcing the news that Roger, the Pirate King, was about to be executed.
Under this report, the entire process of the arrest of Pirate King Roger was also described in detail. At the same time, Enichi Tsukuni's photo, as "the young legendary marine who personally captured Pirate King Roger", once again was published in the newspaper.
Not only that, but the story of Douglas Barrett, the former crew member of One Piece, who attacked the navy branch and was killed by Enichi Tsukuni, was also revealed by the navy.
However, the popularity of this news was concealed by the public execution of the Pirate King.
"No. 28?"
"Isn't it only a week?"
Mihawk also looked solemn when he heard this and said.
"Um!"
"After he was executed. No, maybe now, the world government is already investigating his trajectory."
"If we move slowly"
Speaking of this, both Yixiao and Mihawk on the boat realized the seriousness of the matter.
This is the first time that Enichi Jiguo has been responsible for their actions alone. If the mission fails, Cyrus doesn't know how to go back and face Enichi Jiguo.
