Hearing this, Arthur stopped talking and even showed a helpless bitter smile on his face.

He was taken into Impel Down by the prison guards, and because he was a marine, he was temporarily imprisoned in the fourth level, the Burning Hell.

"Go in!" A jailer pushed Arthur into the iron cage.

It was a hot and humid environment with very little air.

Arthur, who was imprisoned in a cage, had a melancholy look on his face. He stared at the jailer holding a whip for a long time. He felt a little unhappy but unable to vent it.

"No matter how powerful you are outside, once you come here, you have to be under our control." The jailer kept clapping the whip in his hands.

With a defiant smile on his face, he looked very unhappy at Arthur in the cell.

"How long will I be kept here?" Arthur asked him.

With a snap, the jailer became furious when he heard Arthur talking to him, and swung a whip into the cage, hitting Arthur.

"Since you are a navy officer, this whip is just a warning." After the jailer detained Arthur, he led everyone away.

Arthur gritted his teeth and endured the pain, looking at them with a confused and even angry face.

Only through personal experience can one understand what it means to be bullied by a dog when one is in dire straits.

He squatted in the corner of the hot and unbearable cage, looking at his black and white checkered clothes: "This world is sick... I am too weak."

……

Arthur was imprisoned for nearly a month, and rumors, public opinions and lies were everywhere on the sea.

An endless stream of newspaper articles slandered Arthur for how he tortured his subordinates.

In order to give an explanation to the families of the deceased and to maintain the prestige of the navy and to continue to recruit soldiers extensively around the world, Arthur was even labeled "brutal" and conspired with Douglas Barrett to commit the crime of genocide.

After the battle in the Sphinx Sea in the East China Sea, the Roger Pirates led their group to stay in the East China Sea for a long time and go on adventures.

morning.

On the deck of the USS Ol Jackson, in the East China Sea.

"That's unlikely, Roger?" said the deputy captain, Silverbaz Rayleigh, while checking a naval journal:

"In order to appease the families of soldiers and civilians, they convicted such a young man of genocide and sentenced him to death..."

"Captain! Why do you sympathize with the death row prisoner? It's written in black and white that he assisted the war hero in slaughtering the entire country!" Little Bucky grabbed Roger's pants.

"The above is just public opinion. There is a high probability that he will be sentenced to death. The trial has not yet begun."

Obviously, he was too young to understand the usual practices of the World Government.

"It's been more than a month since that incident. Has the war hero been found?" Roger weighed the incident in his mind.

He felt that a young man like Arthur, who had left a good impression on his entire pirate group during the battle, would never be able to participate in the massacre of a country.

On the newspaper headlines, the two sacrificed CP agents were hailed as heroes.

Arthur, Douglas Barrett, known as "The Cruel Man".

"Yes, I heard that after escaping to the sea, that guy has been looking for strong people to fight with." said the person on the deck next to Roger.

On the deck, after Shanks learned the contents of the newspaper, he also said about the incident: "I don't believe he will massacre the country, Captain."

"Why do you think so, Shanks?" Roger looked at him with a smile.

"You can tell what kind of person a person is from his battles. He seems to be just a swordsman who simply longs for battle, not someone who would do something like what's in the newspaper."

Hearing this, Buggy on the side bared his teeth and cursed at him: "Asshole Shanks, you are shielding a monster who committed the crime of genocide!"

"Hmph, I don't believe it anyway." Shanks folded his arms and soon started arguing with Buggy and they ended up fighting.

When Rayleigh and Roger saw this, they looked at each other.

"Does that straw hat have any meaning, Roger? I feel like Shanks is no ordinary kid."

"Hahaha, let's wait and see. Let's find a town to hold a party first. No matter what happens in the world, we can't just sit there and do nothing."

……

Grand Line, on a pirate ship near the coast of Wano Country.

"Brother Kaido, this matter..."

"Don't believe this, Jin. That guy is simply not capable of committing the crime of genocide. You should understand this after fighting him, right? This is another conspiracy created by the government!"

……

Amazon Lily Island, located in the calm sea area on both sides of the Grand Line.

The coast of the Kingdom of Women.

"Go, Xihai O'Hara!"

"Wait, Lady Empress, what are you doing in that place?"

"You can't go there. There's a naval colonel stationed there now, Her Majesty."

"Stop talking nonsense. Of course, I'm going to settle the score with that navy captain!"

Genius? The Queen of the Kingdom of Daughters named "Tori Toma" was holding the latest Navy Daily and was a little curious about the contents.

……

The accusation that Arthur committed genocide spread throughout the world.

The destruction of the war-mad country of Jarzburg gradually became tied to and related to him with the support of various public opinions.

Under the manipulation of public opinion by the World Government, the coast of the Navy Headquarters located in Marinford.

"The crime of genocide? Do you think a kid who blushes when praised would commit such a crime?!" Zephyr, who was preparing to set sail for Impel Down, was intercepted by Cyborg Airchin and many other officers.

"Calm down, Zefa, don't just look at the surface of things." Cyborg Kong stood in the front of the officers and talked to Zefa: "You should have seen many examples of this kind of thing."

"That's impossible! Marshal, he was a student of mine. I have to go and ask him in person. Even if it's to execute him, I have to do it in person!"

There was such a person among the first batch of recruits led by the retired admiral, and Zefa, as a teacher, could not accept it.

"Stop him."

After completing their mission and returning to Marinford, the elites couldn't believe that they heard such news just after going out to sea.

"Why? Why would someone who blushes just by being stared at commit the crime of genocide against a nation?"

"I don't believe it either! Although I hate him stealing my limelight, what is this damn public opinion?"

……

At the naval port, many officers were speaking out about this incident.

Kake and Gion didn't believe that Arthur would do such a thing, but it was reported in the news.

Only some people who were jealous of his accession to the navy believed the events in the newspapers completely.

"Sengoku...what are you going to do?" Garp said secretly, and slowly left among the crowd.

He had a shadowy look on his face, as if he knew the truth.

Such a talented young man was previously promoted as "the strongest recruit in history", and now he is called a "terrorist". Everything is so illogical.

In Impel Down, Impel Down Prison.

Arthur, who had been locked up for a month, was in a trance. He held onto the iron bars and shouted, "Hey, how long are you guys going to keep me locked up?"

He gradually fell into the fear of time. If he was locked up for decades, he felt that he would really go crazy.

"Stop talking nonsense, Marine. You deserve to die."

"For the past month, the outside world has been filled with news about you. You are worse than us pirates!"

"This beast is so evil to the core that he actually massacred an entire country!"

"What! I massacred a country?" Arthur was completely shocked by these words, which were said by some newly captured pirates.

He didn't know what was going on and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Shut up, or we'll throw rocks at you every day, you little brat."
