Chapter 260 My old face hurts

...

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

The judge looked displeased and banged the gavel in his hand hard to maintain the solemnity and order in the courtroom.

"Quiet! Quiet!!"

"Anyone who dares to make noise and disrupt the order of the trial will be taken away as an accomplice of the criminal!"

"hateful!"

Everyone gritted their teeth unwillingly, but in the end no one dared to argue. They still had wives and children, and they couldn't get themselves involved because of a momentary impulse.

"Since I have no objection, I declare this trial over and the court is adjourned now!"

"All irrelevant personnel please leave the judicial ship immediately. The ship will return immediately and escort the shipwright Tom to the Judicial Island for execution!"

"Boom!"

As the judge's final hammer fell, everything was settled. The navy soldiers took Tom in and began to clear out the ordinary people attending the trial.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? Didn't you say that Mr. Tom would be released?"

Bingshan was already in tears. He grabbed Franky's shoulders tightly, shook him hard and asked loudly, even though he knew deep down in his heart that he could not blame the other party.

"I don't know, I don't know either!..."

Franky repeated his answer with a dull expression.

...

"Let us go! Let us go!"

"Get back now, you little brats! If you continue to make trouble, you will only lose your lives! Don't be ungrateful!"

A navy man who still had some conscience said this and forcibly threw Franky and Iceberg onto the judicial ship.

Afterwards, the sailors on the deck of the ship became busy and began to prepare to raise the anchor and set sail.

Franky and Iceberg walked on the road in silence. When they returned to Tom's studio in a daze, it was already completely dark.

When I opened the door, I saw the bright and warm room. Grandma Kokoro, with a smile on her face, put two servings of curry rice on the dining table.

"Really? Why did you come back just now? Come sit down and eat!"

"Yo~!"

The big frog Yokozuna nearby also called out in greeting.

Kokoro said a line that was as ordinary as ever, but it made Iceberg and Franky feel as if everything was normal.

"We're back!"

The two of them sat down with a confused look on their faces, picked up the spoons and mechanically picked up the delicious rice on the plates, shouting "It's delicious, so delicious!"

Kokoro also sat down and watched them eat with a kind face.

It was as if nothing had happened, but her slightly red eyes had already shown that everything was fine, it was just an illusion.

Looking at the empty seat across from the dining table and the missing cutlery on the table, the two began to choke up while eating.

"Woo woo woo! Granny Kokoro! Mr. Tom...!"

"I know, I know everything. Don't cry! You must remember Mr. Tom's teachings and be a real man in the future!"

Granny Kokoro placed her hands on their heads to comfort them, but her eyes became wet again.

"No! Now is not the time to cry. I have to go and rescue Mr. Tom!"

Little Franky wiped away his tears and stood up and said.

"Silly child, although I understand how you feel right now, that is the World Government! It is a huge organization that rules the world. What can a kid like you who hasn't even grown all his hair do? I will not let you die in vain! Even if it were Mr. Tom, he would never agree to it!"

Kokoro lowered his eyes and said with a lost look.

"I'll go ask Mr. Geer! He must have a way!"

Although he had just been fooled by Mr. Gel, Franky still believed that the omnipotent Mr. Gel had just miscalculated once. This was normal. After all, no one could predict what would happen in the future with 100% accuracy.

"Even if Mr. Geer and his men have enough force to intercept the judicial ship and rescue Mr. Tom, why would they get into such a big trouble to help us? We are just business partners. Maybe he said that to you today to politely refuse to be involved in this storm."

Kokoro sighed.

"Is it really?"

Franky recalled Captain Gill's indifferent attitude today and the words he used to dismiss him.

"Damn it, this liar! Then I'll go by myself! How do I know it won't work if I don't try? Anyway, I can't just sit there and do nothing and wait to lose Mr. Tom completely!"

As he said this, he was about to push the door open and leave, but was stopped by Kokoro.

"Granny Kokoro, what are you doing? Let me go! I want to save Mr. Tom!"

Franky struggled violently.

"Don't go! Iceberg, come quickly and help catch this guy!"

Kokoro shouted to Iceberg who was still in a daze.

Bingshan put down the spoon, stood up slowly, and said with a firm look in his eyes:

"Franky, I'm going with you! Without me, you idiot, you won't be able to accomplish anything by yourself!"

"Iceberg! Do you know what nonsense you are talking about? How come even you..."

Kokoro's eyes widened in surprise, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Granny Kokoro! Thank you so much for taking care of us like parents to me and Mr. Tom. Like Franky, I just can't just sit there and wait for news of Mr. Tom's death. Even if we might die at sea, we have to go! This is how we follow Mr. Tom's teachings and become a real man!"

Bingshan said excitedly.

"Stupid~! Damn it, you! You said it so well! Wuuwuwu!"

Franky was so moved that tears burst into his eyes.

"What are you guys doing! Are you all crazy?"

Kokoro let go of his hand helplessly.

"Well, you have all made it! I won't stop you if you insist on going to die. I can't stop you anyway."

Kokoro pushed the two of them out of the door and walked into the house alone, slamming the door shut.

"I'm sorry! Granny Kokoro! We will definitely come back with Mr. Tom!"

The two men shouted at the closed door and ran towards the scrapyard!

Franky has already figured it out. They can take their own battleship No. 9 to chase the ship from Judicial Island. As for the problem of the battleship not being completed yet, they can just take some materials on board and speed up the work on the way.

Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away outside the house, Kokoro, who was sitting behind the door, covered her face and burst into tears. This strong woman could no longer hold back. She had just lost her lover and now she was going to lose her two children.

"Yo~!"

The big frog Yokozuna came up to her and rubbed against her to comfort her.

...

Old ship deck.

"What? He was taken away? He was sent to Judicial Island to be executed? No way, are you sure the news is correct?"

After listening to Mosan's narration, Captain Gel felt his face hurt and asked back in disbelief.
