Chapter 583 The cry before public execution
September 1498, in the Haiyuan calendar.
The day when "One Piece" Goldo Roger was executed.
Area 28 of the Shampoo Islands can be said to be crowded with people.
In addition to the simple temporary execution platform, it was surrounded by a defense line composed of naval generals and soldiers.
They formed a circle to isolate all spectators watching the execution.
In addition, there is a long passageway all the way to the shore.
Both sides of the road were also crowded with people, especially reporters, holding cameras and long tubes, always ready to take pictures that couldn't be missed.
A large naval warship slowly docked, and a man wearing a red pirate coat and shackled hands stepped off the warship.
Vice Admiral Karp, Vice Admiral Kuzan followed him on both sides, to be precise, escorted.
Although it was crowded, the air was exceptionally quiet, and you could hear a pin drop on the ground.
The invisible sense of oppression made everyone hold their breath and focus on Roger.
Even at the scene, there were many people who could not see Roger clearly, and there were many people with binoculars.
On other islands in the Shampoo Islands, a large group of people gathered in front of the big screen.
Residents all over the world are also watching this live broadcast.
In the Kingdom of Kronos, Hades quietly watched the live broadcast.
Whitebeard Pirates, Newgate drank a bottle of wine in one gulp.
There were only a few people in the empty palace of the Sky Pirates, including Shi Ji. The silent Shi Ji stared at the live broadcast screen, not knowing what he was thinking.
All the forces on the sea are paying attention to this moment.
The man who conquered the great sea route known as "impossible to be conquered"!
The recognized "Pirate King" Goldo Roger.
Including members of the Roger Pirates scattered around the world.
None of them expected that it would be like this when they saw their captain again, and they didn't know why Roger did this.
Only Rayleigh might know a little bit about it.
The sun was scorching in the sky and the air was extremely hot.
Roger walked in the passage. Although he was handcuffed and legcuffed, he did not have any fear of imminent death.
Walk forward with your head held high, like a warrior returning in triumph.
This is the first time he has returned to the public eye after a long time, and it is the first time for many people to see Roger.
Roger now does not look like a criminal who is about to be executed.
Roger looked to both sides, seeing and hearing the domineering spread, feeling the strong or weak auras of each one, hiding many careerists and young people with potential.
There was a joyful smile on his face, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
This is the moment he's been waiting for.
How many of those around to watch the execution will have a place in the future sea?
Roger's smile brought unconcealable shock to the hearts of countless people who paid attention to him.
Roger is actually smiling?
This man who has gained everything, although he is constantly moving towards death, looks down upon everything like a proud king.
Is this the king? Invisibly, many people can feel it in their hearts, that is the demeanor of a king.
Among the crowd, the World Government, and countless people looked at Roger, wondering what they were thinking.
Many naval generals looked around vigilantly to avoid any sudden accidents.
They would not let anyone interfere with this execution.
"Is this your choice? Roger."
Reilly was sitting in the corner, wearing glasses and slippers, looking slovenly, holding a bottle of wine in his hand.
No one could have imagined that the famous vice-captain of the Roger Pirates would be among them.
He couldn't help but think of finding Roger a month ago, before he surrendered.
"I'm not going to die, Rayleigh!"
After saying this, Roger left, and then he got the news that Roger had been arrested.
Of course this was a lie. Roger was about to die. Reilly knew that this was Roger's plan and intentional.
"Da da!"
The crisp sound of footsteps sounded, and Roger came to the seemingly crude execution platform, stepped onto the wooden steps step by step, and climbed onto the execution platform.
No accidents occurred during this period.
Everything went according to Roger's plan.
Standing on the execution platform, two executioners holding special long knives stood on both sides of his body.
Roger slowly raised his head, with a smile on his lips, looking at the crowded crowd in front of him, and the countless eyes that fell on him.
Looking at Roger who was still looking calm on the execution platform, many people couldn't help but fall silent.
Of course, there are people all over the world who are constantly clamoring for Roger to die quickly.
In this sea, there are too many people who hate pirates.
What's more, what about Roger, the "Pirate King"?
Facing Roger being executed, all the anger in his heart towards the pirates was transferred and vented on Roger.
The dignity of the Pirate King is being trampled on by the navy.
The most tragic thing is that a hero dies too late.
It was a simple execution platform, and the executioners around him were all unknown characters.
No one would save Roger, not even Roger's former companions.
Although they were extremely sad in their hearts, they knew that this was Roger's own choice, and they respected their captain's thoughts.
One Piece!
For many people, it is more than a simple title, symbolizing freedom and glory. It represents too many things and is the ultimate goal of all pirates.
Some of the great pirates in the New World don't seem to care about the title One Piece.
But in their hearts, who doesn’t want to become the Pirate King?
Big Mom thinks about it, Shiki thinks about it, Kaido thinks about it, and everyone else thinks about it too.
But now, under the execution platform, many high-level naval forces are always ready to take action.
Anyone who dares to step out will be devastated.
The critical moment has arrived.
Everyone's heart couldn't help but beat rapidly.
Mobius stood on the rooftop not far away and could feel Roger's special aura, extremely arrogant, as if he was born for freedom.
"The will passed down from generation to generation, times are changing, people's dreams, as long as they continue to pursue the answer to freedom, all this will never end!"
Roger's legs were kneeling on the execution platform.
"Anything else to say?"
An executioner on one side was asking, but those who were close to the audience and those watching the live broadcast could see clearly.
The executioner's body was trembling, and sweat had soaked his clothes. This was the Pirate King, and it was abnormal not to be nervous.
In addition to saying this as part of a routine execution, he also said this to relieve his own pressure.
Roger smiled and raised his arms, "Can you take this thing off? It's a bit itchy!"
"Sorry, can't do it!"
The executioner looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, and in terms of momentum, Roger had the upper hand.
"How could I escape from this busy place?"
"Okay, let's finish it quickly!"
The two executioners suppressed the fear in their hearts and pointed the two execution knives at Roger's body with trembling arms.
Preparing for execution.
Then a man shouted.
"Hey! Pirate King!"
The solemn atmosphere was destroyed.
"Where did you hide all the treasure you got?"
"Shut up!"
A naval admiral yelled angrily.
At this time, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in the hearts of many senior navy officials.
"The unique secret treasure! ONE PIECES!"
Hysterical shouts continued to echo.
Roger has been waiting for this for a long time.
"Hmm hahahaha!"
Roger's laughter rang out, and everyone else held their breath.
"Is it my treasure?"
The two executioners seemed frightened.
The ominous premonition in the heart of Warring States below was getting stronger and stronger, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was even more panicked. He realized that Roger's surrender might be just for now.
No matter what Roger has to say, stop him.
Sengoku shouted to the two executioners.
"Do it!"
It's a pity it's too late.
"Go get it if you can!"
Roger laughed, followed by a shocking shout.
"Go find it! I put everything in the world there!"
Two blades plunged into Roger's body.
"One Piece" Roger died. Even in death, he still had a smile on his face.
Roger's death was not the end.
Time stopped for a moment, and everyone stayed where they were, with Roger's words before his death echoing in their minds.
Roger's voice also spread throughout the world, officially starting the great pirate era.
