Chapter 258 Judicial Ship

...

The banquet lasted until late at night.

A good night's sleep.

...

"Swipe!"

Captain Gel slept until noon, and after getting up, he squatted on the side of the ship and brushed his teeth.

In this posture, if a little girl with two ponytails passes by, she might be asked: "Are you here to poop?"

"Good morning, Enel. You're fishing so early. Don't you have to train today?"

Ger muttered with foam at the mouth.

"Hey, instructor, I drank too much yesterday and I'm still sleepy. I've already completed my daily project, so I don't need to practice extra today."

Enel answered happily, using the knife in his hand to cut a big fish he had just caught into several pieces in just two or three strokes and gave them to the two cats and one rabbit who were watching him fishing.

"oh oh."

"Gulu gurulu, huhuhuhu!"

After rinsing his mouth, Gel put away his cup and toothbrush, jumped off the side of the boat and was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat when he heard Enelu behind him say:

"Captain, there is a ship with a strange appearance coming this way. There are quite a lot of people on board. Well, it seems to be the navy."

After arriving in Qinghai, various common sense of life in Qinghai and basic understanding of various forces became one of Enel's compulsory courses, and he was required by Barrett to maintain his observation Haki at all times.

"navy?"

Gel stopped and turned to look in the direction where Enel pointed in confusion.

About two minutes later, a large ship with a tall tower was seen slowly approaching. Gel couldn't help but sigh that this boy's observation Haki had improved a lot. He wondered if he could awaken and predict the future in the future.

Several people on the deck also ran to the side of the ship out of curiosity to join in the fun.

“This shouldn’t be a navy ship, right?”

Looking at the ship in front of him that looked like a church, Ajin frowned and said.

"It's definitely not a warship, but Enelu was right when he said there were navy ships on it. This is a ship from Judicial Island."

Ger explained to everyone.

"What is Judicial Island, Captain?"

Bi Ya asked, blinking her big curious eyes.

"Well, it's not a serious thing. To put it simply, Judicial Island is an institution that the World Government uses to turn its illegal acts into legal ones."

Gel didn't quite understand the meaning of the existence of the Judicial Island. It clearly had no intention of reasoning with you, but it insisted on coming up with such a process, pretending to be very civilized and following the rules and procedures, but the final result was still barbaric and unreasonable.

On the side, the elementary school bully Funi helped Captain Gel add:

"The Judicial Island is a court directly under the World Government. It is used to try criminals. But the captain is right. Although the Judicial Island is a law enforcement agency, it actually conducts trials entirely at the will of the World Government. Anyone who is escorted to the Judicial Island will be convicted. Legend has it that no not guilty verdict has been issued in 800 years. This ship is equivalent to the mobile court of the Judicial Island."

"Oh, that's it."

A top student is a top student. His summary was very precise and everyone on the boat nodded in understanding after listening to it.

This is called professionalism.

"Dogs of the World Government? Do you want to kill them, Captain?"

Barrett, who had just come out of the cabin, said excitedly.

"Hehehe, should we let them have an accident?"

Moria corrected his words.

"Captain! Could it be..."

Tezoro and Stella looked at their boss with some concern, wondering if Captain Gill's heroic deeds in Shampoo were exposed.

Gel waved his hand and smiled with a relaxed expression:

"Haha, don't worry. If we are discovered doing something with the Celestial Dragons, the one that comes should be the Demon Slayer Fleet led by the Admiral of the Navy. So, don't panic. It has nothing to do with us. They should be here to capture the fishman Tom."

"Nani? Captain, when did you kill all the Tianlong people?"

Kurokus asked in surprise.

You know, even those crazy pirates generally won't attack the Celestial Dragons, because that would mean they would face endless pursuit by the World Government and the Navy. No one wants to get into such a big trouble for a momentary pleasure.

"Oh, I encountered it when I went to the Sabaody Archipelago. I couldn't help it. But don't worry, I am the most sensible captain and I have already cleaned up my mess."

"Ah, the world's noble celestial dragons? I actually missed such an exciting thing, why didn't you call me, Captain?"

Moriah said in annoyance.

On the side, Barrett, who was fortunate enough to be a personal participant, smiled proudly.

"No, why is everyone's attention focused on the Celestial Dragons? Shouldn't they be concerned about why Mr. Tom was arrested?"

Mosan, who didn't quite understand what the Celestial Dragons were, expressed his confusion.

"Captain, what crime has Mr. Tom committed?"

Funi asked.

"The charge seems to be helping Pirate King Roger build a ship. If nothing goes wrong, he will probably be sentenced to death."

Ge Er recalled the plot and said while touching his chin.

"Ah this..."

Everyone looked incredulous. The shipbuilding industry in the Seven Water City was well developed, and they were only responsible for shipbuilding. They did not care about the identity of the customers. They would accept orders from both navy pirates and ordinary merchants.

Now that Roger has become the Pirate King, it is a bit too petty to settle the score with a shipbuilder.

The key point is that so many former crew members are still alive and well after the disbanding of Roger's pirate group. Those people are the important contributors who helped Roger become the Pirate King. Isn't their contribution greater than that of a shipwright who just built the ship without being on board?

Since your world government wants to eradicate everything related to Roger, why don't you arrest these people? Instead, you come and arrest a shipbuilder with great fanfare. Isn't this obviously bullying an honest person?

"Our boat isn't ready yet. It wouldn't be good if Mr. Tom got captured."

The pragmatic Senior was only concerned that his own ship had not been built yet. Only a shipwright was arrested, but he was not the shipwright on their ship.

"Captain, is there any way to save him?"

Kurokus asked with a rare serious expression.

"Don't worry, old man. His life is not in danger for now. It seems that Mr. Tom is researching a new technology that the World Government is interested in. If nothing goes wrong, he will be given a suspended sentence. Give him time to complete it. Okay, do what you need to do. I'm going to have breakfast first."

After saying this, Gel went to the kitchen.

According to the original plot, Tom will be released on bail this time because the World Government wants to use the Sea Train to connect the Judicial Island, and promised that if the Sea Train is successfully developed, Tom can be acquitted. However, his real problem is not that he built a ship for Roger, but that he holds the design drawings of the "ancient weapon Pluto".

A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.

Being targeted by those vicious dogs of CP, Tom the Fishman is doomed to have no good ending. He might even be murdered if he voluntarily hands over the blueprints.

Should we save him? How should we save him?

Gel stood at the bow and looked at the judicial ship that had already entered the harbor on the other side of the Seven Water City, thinking while biting a fried dough stick.

Forget it, I'll talk to him privately when I have a chance.

If Tom insisted on not leaving and insisted on staying to make a big fuss about the sea train, naively believing that the World Government would keep its promise, then no matter how much I said, it would be a waste of expression.
