Chapter 55 Judicial Island Trial
"The guy who slaughtered the country is Barrett. What does it have to do with me?" Arthur was extremely angry and didn't know what was going on in the outside world.
But from what these pirates said, he felt that he was being cheated.
"Barrett?"
"How did that country get destroyed? Morgans said in the news that it was caused by your fight with him."
"The Navy also said that you and Douglas Barrett destroyed it together. Haha, how interesting."
Hearing Arthur's angry voice, the pirates of Crimson Lotus Hell suddenly became more curious about this matter.
I feel like Arthur was the subject of some conspiracy and became a sinner.
"I just fought desperately to stay alive, otherwise, he would have killed me!" Arthur was so angry that he used all his strength to bend the iron bars.
Upon seeing this, the jailer stood over the wall and warned him sternly before letting him go.
A beast in a cage, no matter how powerful it is, is just a fish to be slaughtered. Arthur is very clear about his situation.
After a while, the door was opened.
"Here?"
"Deputy Director, we're here."
A five-meter-tall man with devil horns on his head was brought outside the cage where Arthur was.
"Magellan..."
When the pirates saw him coming, they all shut their mouths and dared not make any sound.
Magellan looked at Arthur in the cage, who was sitting in the corner like a man who had lost his life, his eyes filled with tears.
"Arthur, right?" Magellan said to Arthur inside, "I am here to escort you to Judicial Island. Get up immediately."
"I know I can't come back this time." Arthur's voice choked with sobs. After realizing how dangerous this world is, he was completely disappointed with it.
The ideas he holds are incompatible with those of everyone in this world.
He even felt at this moment that his kindness was only an anomaly in this world.
Once a loner stops fitting in, he becomes guilty.
The cage door was opened, and two jailers went in and brought Arthur out from the dark corner.
"That's most likely the case. Do you have any last words?" Magellan asked Arthur, trying his best to meet his conditions because the other party was a navy.
Growling, Arthur's stomach was growling with hunger. He hadn't eaten enough in these days.
So he asked Magellan: "Can you give me a meal? That's all I ask, nothing else."
"Satisfy him and take him to the cafeteria. The time limit is ten minutes." Magellan issued orders to his subordinates.
The jailers took Arthur to the cafeteria to eat.
After eating and drinking, Arthur was taken outside the city of Impel Down. The glaring sunlight made it almost impossible for him to close his eyes.
"Let's set sail! It's 8:10 in the morning now. We will arrive at Judicial Island at about 12 o'clock. Let's enjoy this last sea view."
Arthur's limbs were shackled with seastone chains, and after eating, he gradually regained his strength.
Arthur, who returned to the sea, kept looking up at the sky and around, as if looking for something.
The sensitive Magellan also looked over with him and warned: "No matter what you are thinking, you'd better cooperate obediently now. Things have come to this point. You are destined to become a piece of naval history."
There has never been a genius as talented as Arthur in the history of the Navy.
Sakaski, Borsalino, and the latest recruit named "Kuzan" are not as amazing as his measured data.
A few hours later, the warship sailed from the calm belt towards the Judicial Island, one of the three major institutions under the World Government.
Arthur watched as another Door of Justice slowly opened.
Impel Down, Marinford, and now the Third Gate of Justice in front of him. He has been to each of them once in just a few months.
"Can I ask what my destiny is?" Arthur suddenly asked Magellan beside him.
"Those who were escorted here have almost been judged as criminals." Magellan responded to Arthur: "Your reputation as a genius has been completely erased by public opinion in the past month. Now the civilians on the sea only know that you are a guy who committed the crime of genocide."
Hearing these words, Arthur's eyes darkened even more.
Even if you pass through the Gate of Justice and enter a sea where there is never day or night, a sea filled with divine light.
His eyes could no longer be illuminated by light.
Legend has it that anyone who is taken to the Judicial Island has been identified as a criminal, and no not guilty verdict has ever been issued in its 800-year history.
Prisoners will only be escorted through those empty courts, and finally arrive at a cold and huge steel door, the Gate of Justice. Prisoners who pass through this door usually never return, symbolizing the world government. Absolute justice.
Enies Hall Court
"quiet!"
On the coast outside the court, Arthur was escorted from a warship by two CP9 spies and arrived outside the court gate.
The court door slowly opened, and camera shutter buttons and glaring camera lights flooded towards him.
"Excuse me, as a lieutenant commander in the navy, why did you commit the crime of genocide?"
"Is it because of that huge sum of money? Or some other reason?"
"Please answer this question, you scumbag. The common people in the world want to know the answer from your own mouth."
"Go to hell! You beast!"
Reporters and some residents of Judicial Island cursed at Arthur and even threw objects at him.
The moment he stepped into the court gate, Arthur suddenly looked at the top of the roof of a tall building nearby.
A bald eagle carrying a long object wrapped in a rag on its back was looking seriously at everything below.
"Kukuku..." It looked at Arthur and made a not-so-pleasant sound secretly, without being noticed by the crowd.
Arthur, who stepped into the court, was already covered in bruises and injuries from being hit by various objects. His forehead and delicate facial features were covered in red marks.
In the center of the courthouse.
Arthur was chained to a spire-like pillar, and he looked up and glanced around at the special gallery.
He noticed that General Sengoku, who was dressed in a black suit, was staring at him intently.
"What are you going to do to me, Zhan Guo!" The moment Arthur saw him, he immediately broke the noise in the court and roared at Zhan Guo.
"Shut up, you sinner!" The soldier guarding Arthur hit him on the head with the butt of his gun.
Arthur glared at the guard fiercely, and the murderous aura in his body frightened him on the spot.
The guard soldier who was about to strike a second time quickly stepped back with a look of horror on his face.
"Arthur, I'm here to speak for you. I don't understand what you are talking about." Zhan Guo responded to Arthur coldly, feeling a little surprised.
I don't know how he could doubt himself.
"Silence!" The judge struck the gavel in his hand, and the whole audience fell silent.
Arthur, who was kneeling in the center like a fish waiting to be slaughtered, was photographed crazily by reporters with their cameras.
This trial is a public trial.
Arthur was very excited and his breathing became rapid in such an environment and atmosphere.
Anger was building up in him.
