Chapter 48 A Small Reason

"I handed the city to you to let you manage it like this?"

"How do you want me to write a report to the top?"

In the burning hell on the fourth floor of Jincheng City, in the office of the director of the prison, Ken, the director of the prison who was still majestic just now and suppressed the world's most ferocious criminals, stood at attention like a student under training, with his head buried Very low attendance.

In front of him, an old man in casual clothes was cursing angrily. He pointed at Ken's nose and cursed for a long time, but the director of the dignified prison didn't dare to refute, but kept smiling.

Behind Ken stood Magellan, the deputy director of the prison with the same serious face, and Hannibal, the prison warden who gloated at his misfortune.

Perhaps because he was tired of cursing, he finally stopped, took a sip of water, and then spoke in a slow tone.

"You guys, why don't you let me worry so much!" said the old man, and then sighed. Pointing to Ken and Magellan, he said, "It was like this when you two were in school. Ken, you are always under the light of justice, and you can't tolerate a little sand in your eyes. And Magellan, you always rigidly abide by the rules and don't know how to adapt. "

"At the time, I thought this was your strength, and I praised it wildly. Now that I think about it, it may have hurt you."

There was a hint of annoyance in the old man's tone. There were two pieces of beautiful jade placed in front of him, but it was a pity that he didn't carve them well.

"Teacher, you did nothing wrong!" Ken said heartbroken when he saw the old man's self-reproach. This teacher was his and Magellan's teacher when they were in school, and he was also the director of the previous generation of Advance City. He took good care of them, just like they father in general.

"Yes! We are all grown up now, and the justice of the world is up to us!" Magellan quickly persuaded

"Guardian? Is this how you guard me?" The old man suddenly got angry when he heard the word "guardian". "Ken, I heard that since you became the director of the prison, you have been very majestic and killed many prisoners."

"Me." Ken was at a loss for words for a moment, but even in the face of his beloved teacher, he couldn't help but say it. "But the ones I killed were all sinners! They were all sinners who caused terrible disasters, and they must die! I killed them just to make them pay for their sins."

"Repay the crime? If you, as a law enforcer, don't abide by the law, what do you use the law for?" The old man grabbed a lot of senbei, stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing.

In fact, the anger in his heart has dissipated a lot at this time. Fortunately, although Ken is extreme and Magellan is rigid, their hearts are still good, and they both want to protect the blue justice.

He breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Ken would be blinded by the hatred of his parents who were tortured and killed by pirates in front of him when he was young. Now that he has mastered the power of life and death in Jinjin City, he will become red-eyed and escape into evil ways.

Then he is not a judge of justice, but a dirty criminal.

"However, I have carefully checked the files of every prisoner I killed. The crimes some of them committed were too bad for me to resist." Ken murmured. "Every criminal is a heinous villain, and he deserves to die!"

He was a little helpless at this time, his colleagues and his teacher told him that it was wrong to torture and kill prisoners. But what's wrong?

Don't these villains deserve to die? Do you still have to forgive them?

The old man was a little nervous, he propped his forehead on the table. Ken is the best student he has ever taught. He is good at everything but he can't let go of his hatred for criminals and tends to become extreme.

"Well, you are already the director of the prison, and you should know this secret."

"Huh?" Ken wondered.

"Do you know why, no matter what kind of evil deeds they commit, most of them are sentenced to life in the city, and the death penalty is rare?" The old man said slowly with a handful of senbei in his hand.

"Isn't it to highlight the world government and the benevolence of the ruler Tianlong?" Ken wondered. This is the knowledge in the school textbooks, and almost every student who graduates from a major will memorize this one.

And as the top eugenic, he is naturally familiar with it.

But according to the teacher, is there any problem here?

"Hey, he is indeed a stupid person. Tell him about Magellan." The old man said weakly, how could his best student have such virtues.

"Um, teacher, I don't actually know." Magellan rubbed his head and said embarrassedly.

"..." The old man felt that he once regarded them as his most proud students, did he do something wrong?

"Okay, just let me teach you guys again." The old man swallowed the final senbei and said with a straight posture. It seems that I have returned to the time when I was still in school decades ago, and the following are all my students.

"Criminals are not born, why do they become criminals?" The old man first asked a question.

"Desire," Magellan replied.

Desire turns the saint into a demon.

"Yes, everyone has desires, but not everyone is a sinner. Only with enough strength to support, desires will take root and rot people's hearts."

The old man said slowly, "If you don't deserve virtue, you will suffer instead. No one is born a devil, and suddenly gaining power can easily distort a person."

"Teacher, are you talking about devil fruit?" Magellan suddenly came to his senses and asked tentatively.

"Devil fruit is also a way to gain power, and it is the easiest way. The fruit has thousands of abilities. Any ordinary person who eats a devil fruit may become a strong person in this sea. "

"Suddenly gaining power will make them swell and become lawless. They will dare to despise the majesty of the World Government!" the old man said, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Is that so?" Ken said to himself, is this the reason why advancing city strictly prohibits the killing of prisoners, even those who have committed heinous crimes try to give them the right to spend the rest of their lives in peace.

He seemed to have made a mistake before.

"Because the most lawless lunatics on this sea are imprisoned in this prison, how many terrible fruit abilities are hidden in their bodies!" said the old man, "Once they die here, the fruit will be reborn somewhere in the sea , Those terrifying abilities that should have disappeared into history will cause the world government a headache!"

After eating a devil fruit, one will have the power of a devil, which will accompany the capable person for the rest of his life. In this sea, there are only similar abilities, but absolutely no identical abilities. This is the consensus of all capable persons.

Once the person with the fruit ability dies, the devil fruit will reappear somewhere in the sea. There may be a pattern, but it has not been discovered yet.

And this is the reason why Jinjin City would rather let those criminal prisoners die of old age in prison than execute them!
