Pirate: Reincarnated as a Black Charcoal Orochi

Chapter 175 The Age of Great Pirates (2)

There are currently less than 2 hours left before the public execution time of "One Piece" announced by the spokesperson of the Navy Headquarters.

Rogge Town, which is scheduled to be the execution site of the "Pirate King", is affected by the production cycle of the surrounding islands and the currents of the East China Sea during this period of the year. It should have been in the nautical season when there are the fewest passing ships of the year. .

Usually at this time, the only port terminal in town operating to the outside world would be in miserable conditions.

If unfortunately the wind direction and ocean current conditions are not good, often for more than a week, no external ships will dock at the dock and go to the town to purchase supplies.

When life was the most difficult, even foreign merchant ships would not choose to come to Rogge Town to do business.

If anyone in the town is short of some trivial items such as needlework or thread, they can only hope that the only blacksmith in the town is willing to take some time out from the pile of repair orders for pots or kitchen knives and use the iron pestle in his shop to sharpen them. An embroidery needle comes out.

The so-called "small town of the beginning" is now such a shabby place, even though it is the closest populated area in the East China Sea to the Upside Down Mountain.

However, the geographical conditions of Roge Town itself are not very good. The main waterways around the town are affected by monsoons and ocean currents, and there is a headwind season of nearly three months every year.

There are even large reefs in the sea to the east, which not only blocks the most convenient route for foreign ships to enter the town, but also blocks the fishermen of the town from going to the fishing grounds nearby, forcing them to make a detour every time. Obstacles that cut off long distances.

During this period of time, there were only occasionally four or five fishing boats in which locals raised funds to invest in them.At this time, the ocean currents stir up the deeper seawater, and there is a chance of bringing out deep-sea fish that are rarely seen on ordinary days.

Choose to risk the boat capsizing and go out to sea to try your luck at the reefs.In the final analysis, those who make this choice are undoubtedly poor families whose lives are so difficult that if their parents don't take such risks, their families will not be able to survive.

So in the past, when there were few ships that needed unloading workers and guides, people would still gather at the Rogge Town Pier.

Or, they are just fishermen with a depressed look on their faces, who go out to sea with the hope of catching rare fish;

Or, they are the relatives and friends who come to see off these poor people who have no other choice;

Or the type of people the above two people least want to see: they come to the dock at this time to pay homage to their relatives and friends who were buried in the belly of the fish.

Although this scene seems a little desolate, the inner story has twists and turns that make people cry.

Maybe even the noble daughters who heard about it would shed a tear or two in response to such stories, which made them more sympathetic.

As for the more mature aristocratic masters, and the noble ladies who held their arms and traveled proudly.

Then they would treat this old story with no new ideas and treat it with the well-informed contempt and ridicule of nobles.

All in all, these things are just commonplace things that can be seen everywhere in this world.

For the educated and literate aristocrats, the common people only have one or two lives.

There was really nothing special worth mentioning, nothing worth remembering about them.

If there are no accidents, this sea, which is too vast for human beings, will continue to look like it did in the past.

It is only natural that Rogge Town, a small town in the East China Sea, would continue to stage such stories during this period of the year.

But if nothing else, the accident still happened.

During this period of this year, the scene on the port dock in Rogge Town was completely different from previous days.

Since today three months ago, there have been a series of navy troops said to be from the Grand Line, and they have been stationed in the town.

The fate of this small town in the East China Sea, which is famous for having given birth to a great pirate, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Originally, around the town, there would be pirates who traveled thousands of miles to attack the village because of its reputation as the "Hometown of the Pirate King", and a very small number of rare bandits who came across the sea by boat.

Although the old people in the town all know that the so-called "One Piece hid part of his incredibly rich treasure in his hometown" is completely groundless nonsense.

But there are always some smart people in this world. The more you deny it, the more they believe it.

These thieves who are greedy for the wealth of the Pirate King and pirates who simply want to vent their anger have made the residents of the town pay a heavy price for the title of "One Piece" over the years.

But this year is unusual, and the residents of the town have not waited for these thieves to approach the town.

Most of the ordinary people among them were wiped out by the wolf-like tiger-like navy of the headquarters, which used fortress artillery that far exceeded the average level of the four seas, including the people and the ships. There was not even a scrap of sawdust or sails on the sea. Leave.

The group of rocks has been standing in the east of the town for countless years, causing the residents of the town to waste countless efforts.

Also on an unknown day, volcanic lava fell from the sky without warning, completely bombarding the vast sea surface that it is now.

Apart from this, these marines from the headquarters are indeed completely different from their colleagues working in the Sihai branch.

They have disciplinary constraints called "military discipline" and will not harass the public regardless of their current mood.

When buying local specialty rum and other supplies in the town's shops, you won't be using credit that cannot be cashed.

Instead, he would take out a stack of brand-new Baileys and settle them on the spot, even if the other party clearly stated that he could add a little "top-up" and would not agree.

While these navy men used their strong demand to drive the economic development of Rogge Town to some extent.

They also used fair wages in the town to recruit people who were unemployed due to the cold season to build the future naval base.

It can be said that the current Bailey, who is paid daily according to the workload, has been a great help to those families in need who are about to run out of food.

Benefiting from the changes in the navigation environment brought about by the disappearance of the reefs, Rogge Town has the possibility to receive more passing ships.

Then there is the possibility of developing and expanding from the original small town in the East China Sea to a place that must pass through when the East China Sea enters the great shipping route.

Because of this, the Navy's reputation in this town can be said to have reached its highest peak since the establishment of Rogge Town.

On the other hand, as the pirate king who always opposes such a kind navy master.

The biggest achievement of going to sea is to attract a group of bandits to his hometown who are angry with his neighbors. The "Pirate King" Gol D. Roger, who has never brought any benefits to his hometown, seems to have changed his name to Gol. Do Roger guy.

His reputation became even more stinky in this deliberately created public opinion environment.

It was probably for these reasons that when the people in the town learned from the navy that they were about to be here.

That is where the "Pirate King" was born, and when the culprit was executed on the spot.

Many townspeople who had never met Roger in person were also in a commotion over this, and under the collaboration of some caring people.

Under the instigation of the seniors who took the lead, they gathered together and went to the port where the navy was under martial law, sitting quietly and waiting for Roger's arrival.

Most of them were even born in this town after Roger went to sea decades ago, and what these young people think about is not complicated. They just want to see it with their own eyes.

Look at that person who has made such a big name in the outside world, making young people like them who yearn for the world follow him and feel proud.

But it also brought them a lot of torture and misery. Who was the culprit mentioned by the elders?

The navy, which has already been stationed in the town in advance, patrols the streets in a ten-man team every day according to the planned route.

For these ordinary people who confirmed that they originally lived in Rogge Town, it can basically be described as turning a blind eye.

At the moment when the execution time is approaching, it can be said that the eyes of the whole world are watching this small town in the East China Sea.

Among them, I don’t know how many important people who have had a relationship with the "Pirate King" would want to save him before his execution.

Even if these big shots don't have the guts to offend the Navy and the World Government, those powerful members of the former "Roger Pirates" who have not yet been secretly arrested will probably not ignore their former captains.

Instead of staring at the ordinary townspeople who have little power and will only serve as background and audience in the end.

It would be much safer to pay attention to those people from all walks of life who have come to the town from all corners of the sea.

But even if the navy did not show any objection to the behavior of the townspeople gathering, the townspeople who were used to living cautiously were still disturbed by the noisy environment of the dock after the enthusiasm that had been stirred up by others subsided. became worried.

On the port pier that has now been widened by a certain naval vice-admiral who is good at reclaiming land from volcanic lava, the nerves of the townspeople have been frightened by the highest-standard powerful ships and guns from the navy headquarters.

The phone bugs placed on the tall flagpoles kept ringing in my ears, shouting loudly, "Lieutenant General Gumir has landed in Rogge Town!", "Lieutenant General Gion has landed in Rogge Town!", "Major General Kake has landed in Rogge Town!" Rogue Town!" news.

It even made the townspeople who had lived around the town since childhood and had never seen newspapers as a novelty a few times restless.

Probably unable to stand the weird atmosphere here, among the crowd gathered was a young man with lush grass-green comb hair, wearing a suit and leather shoes, but looking gray-faced.

As if he was suppressing his timidity, he pulled the wrinkled and frowning old man next to him, lowered his head and said in his ear:

"Master Rom, there seem to be more and more naval forces around now. Do we really have to keep waiting here?"

Although the old man is old, his hearing and temperament have always been very good.

But when I heard that the guy who was the first to start clamoring to bring his own people to give him more momentum, now he dared to take the lead in retreating, he was still very angry at his shameless behavior.

At this time, he didn't care about saving face for others, so he turned his head towards the guy's lowered head, pulled the fancy earrings with his hands and forcefully pulled the person's ears over, which was enough to ring throughout the neighborhood. The volume was right in the man’s ear and he shouted:

"What? Cleoni, wasn't it because you kept saying stupid things like wanting to avenge your father in the first place?

You have been crying and shouting to come to me to beg me, so I brought you here to see what your so-called enemy looks like!

As a result, you haven't even seen her face yet, you bastard, are you just thinking about hiding home first? "

"Ahem, ahem, Lord Rom, please keep your voice down. If people find out, I won't be able to be the boss on this street."

A down-and-out man with long, meaningful hair, his head was buzzing as he faced the old man's scolding, but he was speechless.

Although the man named Cleoni has a strength that is passable among ordinary people, he usually has to deal with a group of club boys who are unwilling to work hard, so he just works on the streets of Rogge Town. I can barely get by even with some low-level activities.

Even if the business in the town is slow, it will not affect these people's misdeeds.

As the leader of these idle people, Cleoni can be said to be one of the most relaxed and comfortable people living in Rogge Town, except for the honorary mayor who does not live in Rogge Town.

But after a large number of navies settled in Rogge Town, the development of many things has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Cleoni, who is hated by everyone, also ruined the boss's efforts and added a lot of money and worthless favors.

That was why the townspeople who had been disgusted by him in the past did not choose to expose his evil deeds to the navy.

But despite this, the living conditions of the members of the so-called Cleoni Club, headed by Cleoni, are also not as good as before.

Cleoni, who had given up most of his family fortune to temporarily ensure safety, could not even afford milk powder for his young children.When I went home yesterday, I saw my son with the same luxuriant hair color lying on the ground, obviously very hungry.

Cleoni could even see that he was trying hard to suck a strange fruit that came from nowhere with his eyes as if he were eating.

Afterwards, Cleoni also took a tentative bite. Although the thing was not rotten, it did have the same taste as ○.

It was the fact that his child was so hungry that he ate food, which was a huge shock to anyone, that made Cleoni, who was already hesitant, make up his mind.

Only then did he decide to accept the deal proposed by those weird guys who were hiding their heads and tail, and brought people to the dock for a price of 10 beli, and prepared to use the stench of the low-class to cleanse Roger, whom he had never met before. .

Although the fierce-looking Cleoni was timid when he saw the endless stream of big shots on the pier.

But of course it's not good to talk about such delicate thoughts with the respected Lord Roma in front of you.

Cleoni could only rely on making up some reluctant excuses to get rid of this topic.

Just when a group of people retreated further and further in fear due to the increasing number of naval forces around them and the increasingly tense atmosphere in the air, and were about to leave the stone road in the dock area.

But in the blink of an eye, Cleoni saw the impenetrable naval warships that originally surrounded the entire Rogge Town quickly sailing away to the left and right.

No more, no less, just enough to leave a direct channel to the dock for the prison ship with the same specifications as the battleship.

Following the edge of the crowd's line of sight, even though Cleoni's eyesight had been blurred by the tears oozing from the pain in his eardrums, he could still see a unique ship, slowly sailing in alongside the warships on both sides. out of the waterway.

Under the sunlight, the "Seagull Flag Holding Libra" logo printed on the sail of this giant ship coming from the east was simply shining with dazzling light.

It also reflects the appearance of countless naval elites standing on the deck gathered under this huge flag, as if they were descended from the gods.

Compared with these "honor guards" who were carefully selected by the Navy Headquarters and drawn from all over the world, even the navy masters whom Cleoni had previously astonished seemed so crude and ordinary. emaciated.

But all of this is nothing compared to the two figures standing on the bow collision angle of this giant ship with a familiar posture.

The one in the lead had a solemn face, and when he looked around, he had the majestic aura of a rumored king who would make people worship him.

But he has an afro that even Cleoni, who lives in a country town, would laugh at without hesitation, and a stupidly braided beard.

As for the character who has been relegated to a certain position, he does not have any particularly distinctive features in appearance.

As if he couldn't read the atmosphere at all, he munched on the donuts he took out of the beautifully packaged box in his hand.Judging from Cleoni's gradually recovering vision, the short mane under his chin was already covered with crumbs from these donuts.

This was obviously not a spur-of-the-moment behavior, but the amount of crumbs that had been eaten for quite some time.

'What happened? '

Just as Cleoni and his companions were confused and confused by the scene in front of them, the loud broadcasting sound of the telephone bugs placed on the flagpole by the navy master came from their ears again:

"The General of the Headquarters, 'Buddha's Warring States'! The Lieutenant General of the Headquarters, 'Hero Garp'! is about to land in Rogge Town!

All Rogge Town garrisoned naval forces are on standby and are now entering the first level of alert!

All admirals present in Rogge Town, please go to the dock area immediately and be prepared to welcome us! "

Cleoni, who had no idea what was going on at this time, could not say a word until the navy next to him pulled up a bright yellow cordon and asked them and other gathered townspeople to move behind the cordon. Didn't come back to reality.

This local snake who had never left this small town in the East China Sea where he and his family had been born, looked at the two big shots with their backs to the sun and was obviously shocked like never before.

My heart was also filled with an unknown emotion, and my heart was beating so hard that it felt like it was about to burst out of my chest.

At this moment, Cleoni, who did not know the proper name of this emotion, "longing", just thought silently in his heart:

'It is decided, my son, Bartolomeo.When you grow up in the future, you must become a great navy! '
