#171 - Chapter 171 Do You Want My Treasure?
“Execution time!”
A loud announcement echoed throughout Roguetown Square.
The town supervisor rarely had such an opportunity to shine, and his voice was particularly loud and excited at this moment.
As soon as his words fell, all eyes quickly focused on the execution platform.
Roger, located under the execution platform, was escorted by two executioners, step by step, up the stairs.
Although his movements were restricted, he still appeared calm and composed.
On the execution platform, the sun was scorching, reflecting on Roger's still handsome face.
He still had a smile on his face, as if the execution ground was his stage, and he himself was a king overlooking everything.
Roger walked on the execution platform, head held high, his eyes deep and firm, gazing at the square in front of him.
Those who had once competed with him on the sea, and those countless young pirates who chased their dreams, were all below at this moment, watching him.
Accompanied by Roger's gaze, the clamor in the square gradually subsided.
Until he knelt in the designated position on the execution platform, the square instantly fell into silence.
Countless eyes focused on this man who was about to be executed, and the air was filled with tension and anticipation.
As a crisp sound of metal chains rubbing against wooden planks came from the execution platform, time seemed to stand still in the entire square.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the arrival of that crucial moment.
Roger's eyes swept across the square, the smile on his lips seemed to carry some secret that had not been revealed to the world, his eyes were firm and calm, as if he had already seen through everything that was about to happen in the future.
At the same time.
Screens around the world began to broadcast the execution in Roguetown in real time, a grand drama spanning the globe was about to be staged.
Sabaody Archipelago.
In the center of the square, in front of a huge screen, gathered pirates who wanted to reach the second half of the Grand Line through coating, as well as those who came here to play.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the screen.
The live broadcast was being conducted on the large screen, which was fully maintained by the Navy.
“I didn’t expect this event to be broadcast live.”
A pirate muttered, a look of disdain on his face.
In the eyes of the pirates, there was nothing to broadcast about this kind of thing, it was just a show for the Navy to promote its power.
“It’s just to promote the Navy’s power.”
Another pirate echoed, but coming here meant they were very interested in this matter.
However, behind a large tree in the Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh leaned quietly against the tree trunk, holding a wine bottle in his hand.
His eyes passed over the bustling crowd, and cast towards the large screen in the center of the square, his eyes penetrated the image on the screen, as if he directly saw Roger standing there.
“Farewell, Captain.”
His voice was low and full of emotion, and he raised the wine bottle slightly, paying tribute to Roger in the picture.
On the other side, in an unknown sea area, a huge island floated in the clouds.
There was a huge castle on the island.
The crew on the island hurried to the captain's room, they all knew what the news they had just received meant to their captain.
“Captain, Roger is about to be executed.”
A crew member reported hastily, the anxiety and shock in his voice could not be concealed.
Shiki, the Golden Lion, who was sitting on the throne, found it difficult to accept for a moment, and the rising aura blew his golden hair in all directions.
He turned his head sharply, his eyes as sharp as knives, staring at the reporting crew member.
“Don’t talk nonsense, how could that man be reduced to such a situation.”
His voice was full of anger and unwillingness, how could the man who defeated him be caught by the mere Navy.
Silence spread in the castle, all the pirates lowered their eyes, not daring to look directly at the captain, Golden Lion.
They knew that the captain at this moment was like a volcano about to erupt, and any careless words or actions could trigger an unpredictable disaster.
“Get ready, I’m going to Roguetown.”
The pirates under his command looked embarrassed and exchanged glances, but no one dared to object.
However, Golden Lion's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and a madness burst out from his deep, sea-like eyes.
“No, go directly to the Navy Headquarters!”
He abruptly changed his order.
He knew that his subordinates would not dare to lie to him, and he also knew that it was too late to go to Roguetown now.
However, instead of going to Roguetown to catch a foregone conclusion, it would be better to give the Navy an unforgettable lesson.
The pirates acted quickly under the captain's orders, although they were afraid in their hearts, they also felt an exciting emotion burning in their hearts.
Shiki stood at the bow of the ship, his eyes staring at the distant horizon, his heart churning with anger.
He wanted to let the world know that they, these great pirates, were not so easily defeated.
“The Navy Headquarters will pay the price for this.”
He said to himself, the island under his feet drew an arc in the sky, tearing apart the tranquility of the sky.
......
In Roguetown Square.
Suddenly, a young man spoke out in doubt, breaking the silence:
“Pirate King Gol D. Roger, you are going to die!”
Although his voice trembled, it was full of curiosity and anticipation,
“Where did you hide the treasure you found?”
On the execution platform.
Roger burst into laughter upon hearing this, his voice like thunder, piercing through the entire square.
His sharp eyes swept across the crowd, as if he was enjoying this last moment.
The loud laughter gradually stopped, and Roger said excitedly:
“Hahahaha, want my treasure?”
Under the gaze of the crowd, Roger continued:
“If you want it, I can give it all to you!”
“Go find it! I left everything there!”
His voice was full of excitement and boldness, as if he had returned to the era when he roamed the sea.
Jin An stood aside, his eyes couldn't help but turn to the young man who asked the question.
A trace of panic flashed across the young man's face, not knowing whether it was because he realized he had caused trouble, or because he was shocked by Roger's aura, he quickly left the square, his figure quickly disappearing into the crowd.
Garp didn't have time to care about these things, his face was anxious, his eyes were fixed on Roger on the execution platform, his voice was low and urgent:
“Execute him quickly.”
He knew that delaying this moment might cause more chaos, and Roger's words had stirred up an uncontrollable wave in this sea.
The executioner's hand no longer hesitated under Garp's urging, and the sharp blade shone in the sun.
As the blade fell, the cheers in the square could not be stopped.
“Jin An, did you know that Roger would say this sentence?”
Garp stared at Jin An, he would think of what the other party said before.
Jin An smiled, his eyes looking at the figures in the square:
“Who knows......”
