Chapter 328 You are like a proud king, sounding the horn of the times
Two special guests came to a small restaurant in Roge Town.
With Roger's execution approaching, the town of Rogue is now packed with people, and the streets are deserted. It is rare to find a small restaurant as quiet as this one.
The two diners sat down one after another, and the boss eagerly handed over the menu.
Doflamingo took the menu, ordered a few dishes, and sent the boss away.
The dragon on the opposite side didn't care much about it.
Because the purpose of the two coming to this restaurant was never to eat food, but to have a huge secret that could not be told.
"Hehehe~ Mr. Dorag, I don't know whether I should call you Lieutenant General or the leader of the Self-Defense Forces? Hehehe~"
Doflamingo's eyes flickered under his sunglasses as he stared at the dragon opposite him.
Long was wearing a green robe that covered his entire body. There was no iconic "shoe print" tattoo on his face. He ignored Doflamingo's questioning and said to himself:
"What evidence do you have that proves you can represent Mr. Lex?"
"Hehe~ I naturally have a lot of evidence, but it's not important. What's important is what I can bring to you and what I want from you. Hehe~ How about it, do you want to listen?"
"..."
Yes, just now, Doflamingo suddenly came to him, claiming to be Lex's messenger, and came to discuss some important cooperation with him.
Long still has great respect for Lex.
When he was still serving in the navy, he was sent to the New World to carry out the mission of bringing back "Vegapunk". The experience of that mission made Long unforgettable for the rest of his life.
To this day, Dragon still clearly remembers that Shiki, the CP Chief who was on the same level as the Navy Admiral, was like a weak chicken in front of Lex and had no power to resist. Even all the forces of the World Government, including himself, and the carefully prepared plans, were like a joke in front of Lex and were easily destroyed.
If it wasn't for the last critical moment, when the Five Elders called Rex and promised a series of favorable conditions, Vegapunk would never have been able to leave the New World, and even a large number of naval officers and soldiers, including themselves, would have had to sacrifice heroically.
That experience was something Dorager would remember for the rest of his life.
For the first time, he truly witnessed the power and authority of a man who could fight the World Government on equal terms!
Leon Lex!
Even when he later rebelled against the navy, joined the Self-Defense Forces, and became the leader of the Self-Defense Forces, he did not dare to offend Lex's power and territory.
And today, when he came to Rogue Town hiding his identity to watch Roger's execution, a young man named Doflamingo came to him, representing Lex!
Seeing that Long remained silent, Doflamingo continued to smile and said:
"Hehe~ You want to overthrow the current world government, right, Dragon?"
"..."
The dragon remained silent.
However, Doflamingo did not care and continued to talk to himself:
"Since you want to overthrow the current world government, this is enough for Mr. Lex to support you."
!!! ~
After hearing these words, Long finally understood Doflamingo's intention in finding him!
However, Long did not express his opinion directly, but said:
"What we want to do, even if it is in line with Mr. Lex's plan to some extent, is not exactly the same, so if you want to use us as a tool, you'd better give up as soon as possible."
The veins on Doflamingo's forehead bulged, but he still suppressed his anger and laughed coldly:
"Hmm~ You really think highly of yourself, Dorag. To tell you the truth, Mr. Lex is not interested in your Self-Defense Force at all. Mr. Lex just thinks highly of you, so he invested in you. As for what he wants to do with you, you don't have to worry about it. Mr. Lex has so many talented people under his command that he doesn't need you at all. Hmm~"
After listening to Doflamingo's explanation, Long finally gradually understood what Lex meant.
Indeed, the current Self-Defense Forces are extremely weak. If New World and Lex had not attracted most of the World Government's firepower in recent years, it would be a question whether the Self-Defense Forces could continue to survive.
Thinking of this, Long no longer hesitated, stood up and said:
"Thank you very much for Mr. Lex's investment. If you have any trivial matters in the future that do not violate my philosophy, please be sure to speak up."
Long gladly accepted Lex's well-intentioned investment.
Come to think of it, he is penniless now, and some of the soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces don't even have enough food to eat. Even if Lex has something to gain from them, he will get nothing.
So in the final analysis, Lex may have invested in them only because of their philosophy.
Doflamingo also stood up, smiled evilly, and then took out a black gold Beli card commonly used in Qinghai from his pocket:
"Here are 50 billion berries. They are some small gifts from Mr. Lex in the early stage. I hope you can develop as soon as possible and bring more trouble to the World Government."
Long no longer hesitated and reached out to take it. When his fingers really pinched the black and gold card, Long's mood was extremely complicated. He didn't expect that such a thin card would be so heavy at this moment.
Before Doflamingo left, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Long:
"Hmm~ Also, I'll give you a piece of news as a personal favor."
Dragon looked at Doflamingo in confusion.
Doflamingo continued:
"In the days ahead, Qinghai will go completely berserk..."
Leaving behind a confusing remark, Doflamingo was covered in black aura and disappeared on the spot. This was the ability of his black devil fruit.
Long's eyes were solemn, and then a light bulb suddenly lit up in his mind. He turned to look at the tall execution rack in the center of Rogue Town, and seemed to have guessed something.
The next moment, Long hid himself under the wide green robe again. Suddenly, wind blew around his body, and the green air flow surrounded his body. Then, he disappeared on the spot.
After defecting from the navy, Long seems to have acquired a pretty good fruit ability, which seems to be a natural type, and also seems to be a mythical beast type.
An ability to leave one's fate to the wind.
……
……
The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.
The dazzling sunlight shone on the cobblestone road, shining on the creaking shackles, and reflecting on Roger's proud head.
Ta~
despair--
Ta~
The sound of unhurried footsteps filled the entire venue, and the crowded crowd around them unconsciously made way for a path.
Roger held his head high, his eyes slightly narrowed, and if it weren't for the shackles on his wrists, one might have thought he was a king inspecting his territory.
His steps were neither light nor heavy, but every step touched the hearts of the people.
His eyes were not dazzling, but they attracted the attention of all Qinghai.
There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth! ~
He is actually laughing!
Sengoku and Garp, who were responsible for escorting Roger, felt uneasy. For some reason, they just wanted to execute Roger as soon as possible and didn't want to cause any trouble.
Their intuition as top-level warriors told them that a huge storm was about to sweep in.
The intuition of observation made all the strong men present feel strange.
Roger ignored it and strode forward like a king who was above all others.
Raise land.
His footsteps paused slightly, as if his observation Haki had captured a familiar breath. It was little Shanks in the crowd. At this moment, he was beside Buggy, looking at his captain who was like a father to him in the past with sad eyes, while Buggy beside him was already in tears.
Zhan Guo behind him noticed that something was wrong with Roger and said in a low voice:
"Don't be nosy, just go!"
Karp followed Roger without saying a word.
At this moment, under the watchful eyes of the whole world, Roger slowly stepped onto the tall and solemn execution platform.
Wow! ~
As Roger knelt down, the shackles on his body rattled, echoing throughout the venue.
Countless video Den Den Mushi were aimed at the man at the center of the scene, the man who was smiling at death on the execution platform.
One Piece!
