Chapter 178 Old Friends in Rogge Town
Roger Town, the original town of the East China Sea, pirates from the East China Sea who want to enter the Grand Line will replenish supplies in Roger Town before setting off.
The weakest sea, the symbol of peace, these are all names for the East China Sea.
And this sea area is also very strange. Among the four seas, its average bounty is the lowest, but the impact caused by those who rise from the East China Sea is the most exaggerated.
Since the announcement that Roger will be executed here, the number of ships in Roger Town has increased. Whether it is the Grand Line or the other three seas, people are approaching here, wanting to witness the moment of Roger's death.
In the naval base of Roger Town, Roger is imprisoned here.
Other prisons have been emptied, and those prisoners are nothing compared to Roger.
Tat. Tat. Tat.
A sound of footsteps came, and Garp walked to Roger's prison with an oil lamp.
On the execution day, he and navy men like Sengoku would hide in the dark. If someone wanted to rescue Roger, they would attack and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Garp came to see Roger for the last time.
"Garp, I should be able to trust you, right?"
Seeing Garp, Roger started talking to himself.
"My child is about to be born, but unfortunately, I will not see that day, and I will no longer be in this world by then."
"Why are you telling me this as a navy? His mother and all the women related to you will definitely be executed."
Garp knew what the World Government would do very well. It was because he could not stand some of the World Government's actions that he had always refused to be promoted to admiral in order to avoid the possibility of assuming certain obligations.
"That's why I told you.
The World Government will definitely investigate my whereabouts for the past year, find her and kill her.
Garp! Our friendship is built on countless fights. You are trustworthy, just like my companions."
Roger smiled, as if he was sure that Garp would definitely help him.
"Don't act on your own!"
"No, you will help me. I'll leave my child to you."
This visit to the prison may be the action that Garp regrets the most. Garp knows the World Government very well. Judging from their attitude towards Roger, anyone who is suspected will most likely be executed, not to mention those with Roger's bloodline.
Unless they can prove that they have no connection with Roger, once there is something unclear, they will be cut off by the World Government.
Even if Lu Jiu chooses to surrender like Roger, the result will not change much. No one can prove that Roger is only related to this woman.
It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. This is the consistent attitude of the World Government.
From the moral point of view of this group of people, they did not choose to use the Demon Killing Order to directly destroy the island, but it was considered polite.
In the square of Rogue Town, a tall execution platform has been built. This is the center of Rogue Town, surrounded by various political institutions.
At the same time, this is also the center of transportation. Through the passages around the square, you can go to any area of Rogue Town.
"That Roger. Is he going to be executed here?"
"Right, that's what the navy said. If he becomes the Pirate King, he must have a lot of treasures, right?"
"Of course, let alone treasures, the "tourists" who have appeared here these days have already filled up the hotel."
Because the navy has gathered heavy troops here, even though the current personnel composition of Rogue Town is very complicated, it has not caused any unrest. No one wants to bring conflicts to themselves at this critical juncture.
At the same time, under a triangular sign, Orlan and his party have arrived here.
This is the commercial street of Rogue Town, and most of the shops are concentrated here.
At this time, Leliana and Xiong are leading the way in front. Relying on their height advantage, the pedestrians around them have chosen to avoid them. This group of people don't look easy to mess with.
The topic of discussing Roger can be heard scattered around. At this time in Rogue Town, Roger himself is the hottest topic.
Since the title of Pirate King came a year ago, Roger has been sought after by some people as a big man in Rogue Town.
"Dad Gold Roger, how can someone use someone else's name as a sign?"
A tavern even had Roger's name written on its signboard, attracting customers in this way.
[I was planning to take a walk on the Grand Line, I was so excited! That's what Roger said at the time, and then he took a barrel of rum and set off the next day as if nothing had happened. ]
The noise in the tavern was loud, and even outside could hear it clearly.
The identity of the people sitting in the tavern was unknown, but they were all listening to the boss telling Roger's story.
"It is said that this boss is Roger's acquaintance. Roger would drink in this bar every day before sailing."
While Leliana was waiting for Oran's answer, a tall woman walked by.
Originally, this person was wearing a cloak-like dress, but when she came to Oran and the others, she took off her hood.
A thick head of purple curly hair, even the lipstick was this color, and the heavy eye shadow made her eyes look big.
She walked up to Orlan and his group like a familiar person and extended her invitation.
"Would you like me to buy you a drink? This pub seems to be quite famous."
"Why do you look so familiar?"
Ginny looked at the person in front of her and always felt a sense of déjà vu.
"Of course you feel familiar with her face. Have you forgotten what you said back then? You will never forget this face."
Looking at the "woman" in front of him, Oran felt a little weird.
Some things can only be experienced when you see them in person.
"Brother Oran, you mean."
"Ivan, after so many years away, you seem to have acquired some special habits."
"Brother Ivan?!"
"Little Ivan?!"
Hearing Oran's words, Ginny and Xiong were shocked at first, and then opened their mouths wide.
Except for the hair color, the person in front of him did not look like Ivankov at all, and even his voice changed completely.
"Hee-ha! As expected of you, Orlan. You can recognize me like this? I wanted to give you a surprise."
At this moment, the identity of this "woman" has become very obvious. Emporio Ivankov, the "old friend" who parted ways with them fourteen years ago."
"Kate, don't you want to say something? Speaking of which, you look the same as you did more than ten years ago. Is your growth stagnation?"
"Meow, I've smelled your scent a long time ago. In addition, you use too much makeup."
Kate covered her nose and didn't want to say anything to Ivankov. It was hard for her to understand how much Ivankov had put on his body.
"Wait, you are Brother Ivan? How did you become a woman?"
"Of course it's because of the devil fruit, Emporio Male Hormone!"
Ivankov's fingers became like syringes. As Ivankov stabbed his fingers into her waist, her figure began to change, and finally turned back into the Ivankov that Ginny and the others were familiar with.
"Superhuman Hormone Fruit, I think this ability is very good."
A fruit that can release special hormones to change the human body from the inside has the ability to make people become human engineers.
But when he showed this ability, he found that several people around him quietly moved away from him.
"Dad, is this a pervert?"
Leliana squatted down and asked Oran's ear. This ability to change gender in public caused a great shock to the young Leliana.
"No, it's a shemale"
"Correct, this is a new human! But there is nothing wrong with the shemale statement."
Ivankov was very proud of this title, and then invited a few people to walk into the tavern. They are also old friends, and they have something to say after not seeing each other for many years.
"Brother Oran said that you are the queen of a certain country. So, brother Ivan, you really have become the queen."
"Queen? No, no, no, it's too early. I'm still learning and can't take on the position of queen. Ginny, your intelligence ability has become stronger. You even eavesdropped on this."
In the corner of the tavern, they exchanged their experiences over the years. In a sense, they all had "colorful" experiences.
And Ivankov's experience was a little magical.
The definition of this new human is enough to make everyone ashamed.
"Olan, you have so many family members. It seems that you have lived well over the years. I have also seen news about you in the newspaper. You are a well-known big man."
"It's okay. How are you doing?"
"Me. Actually, I joined the Self-Defense Forces."
Due to Ivankov's "abnormality", a vacuum area appeared around them. It seemed that because they didn't want to be infected by the abnormality, these people chose to stay away from here and turned to listen to the boss's story.
[King Eric Dane, the world's top gunner Hiruba Hiruba, the Great Evil Monk, the Karns brothers, these fierce generals who are as terrifying as ghosts and gods are like babies in front of Roger! ]
Amid the noise of the tavern, Ivankov whispered the word "Veteran".
"Just like I said back then, I want to change the world. This is my choice."
The leader of the Veteran is Monkey D. Long, but the name in the outside world is generally only Long, and the surname is concealed by the official.
Since realizing that there is no justice he wants in the navy, Long has withdrawn from the navy and started to act alone, and an organization called the Veteran was born.
Since last year, the Veteran has gradually taken action. At this time, the Veteran has not yet launched an armed resistance, but has triggered large-scale protests in various countries.
Because of organizing such illegal marches, Long eventually became a wanted criminal and appeared in newspapers several times.
Speaking of the Veteran, Ivankov obviously has a sense of pride.
Perhaps their organization lacks experience, perhaps their actions are not correct, but no matter what, they are one of the few people on the sea who resist the tyranny brought by the World Government and the royal families of various places.
