Chapter 389 The Execution Begins! A Speech from the Warring States Period!
Under the direction of the World Government, news of this public execution spread throughout the entire ocean.
As the execution date drew near, an invisible tension seemed to rise over the entire sea, with countless people either watching the spectacle or waiting for a change in the situation lurking in the shadows.
So much so that when the day of the public execution actually arrived, the entire Grand Line and the four seas were deserted as everyone flocked to the scene.
"It's about to begin..."
And this was especially true of the windmill village at this time.
All the shops, big and small, in the entire windmill village were now closed.
All the villagers of Windmill Village were gathered in the banquet bar.
Every villager had a somber expression, their eyes filled with worry.
Especially Makino, the bar owner, had her fists clenched so tightly that she didn't even have time to greet the customers.
Their eyes were all fixed on the bar wall—where a projection screen of a Den Den Mushi was playing.
Of course, given the location and economic situation of Windmill Village, it's impossible that they bought this latest model of Den Den Mushi themselves.
In fact, their Den Den Mushi, and almost all the Den Den Mushi in the world at this moment, were sent to various islands by the Navy branch on orders from the World Government not long ago.
And the image projected onto the Den Den Mushi... is Marineford.
The massive castle tower stands in the center of the picture.
Meanwhile, the live Den Den Mushi, which was still moving and broadcasting live, appeared to be carried in the beak of a seagull as it flew over Marineford.
Thus, everyone was able to see the scene at Marineford at this moment.
Countless troops are stationed here in dense formation.
Those were naval personnel temporarily transferred to Naval Headquarters from all over the world.
They were dressed in white naval uniforms and formed a square formation.
At the front of each formation was a naval commander in charge of directing it.
Lieutenant General Stolberg, wearing a tall hat and holding a long sword.
Eight-sword style, Vice Admiral Onigumo with a fierce expression.
Lieutenant General Chaton, short in stature, was smoking a cigar.
There were giant generals, large in size and imposing in appearance.
Those were the elite and strongest among the navy's elite forces.
But what is most eye-catching is a platform located in the center below the execution platform.
There, five figures were sitting.
Three figures sat at the front, each wearing a navy cloak of a different color—red, blue, and yellow.
Those were none other than the Navy's top combat power: the three Admirals, Akainu Sakazuki, Kizaru Borsalino, and Aokiji Kuzan.
The remaining two people sat on the left and right sides, respectively.
They wore special cloaks that shimmered like stars.
That signifies their identity—commanders of the Starhunting Force, a special forces unit of the World Government.
"Black Xie" Roy Amos.
"Naval Hero" Monkey D. Garp.
But that's not all.
At this moment, in the outermost formations, one can also see the flags of many World Government forces, such as the Holy Land Guardian Legion and the Red Line Patrol Force.
All of that is enough to show that the forces gathered here at this moment represent the World Government's full-scale attack.
Even though the villagers of Windmill Village were not particularly strong, and they didn't even know much about the situation at sea.
But seeing such a scene, they could also instinctively feel a tremendous, serious sense of oppression.
""
Unlike usual, this "World Live Broadcast" did not have a host from the World Economic News Agency broadcasting the event, nor did it include any commentary.
The entire Marineford region was almost completely quiet.
But it is precisely in this tranquility that...
"Tap!" "Tap!" "Tap!"
The sound of heavy footsteps approached.
Then, people all over the world watching the live stream saw it.
A tall figure with a seagull on its head stepped up the stairs from the back onto the execution platform.
The word "justice" also embodies him, fluttering in the wind.
That was none other than Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
His glasses gleamed in the sunlight, and he exuded a solemn aura.
"clatter."
He stood in the center of the execution platform and scanned his surroundings.
Those sharp eyes seemed to see into every corner of the world through the live stream.
Gentlemen.
"To all those who sail the four seas or the Grand Line."
His voice rose: "As you know—today, under the witness of the world…a public execution is about to take place here."
Clearly, he filled the missing role of host.
"The executed criminal, whose name is one."
His words fell.
Then, everyone saw another figure being escorted up behind him.
"Ugh~ I have no energy~ I'm so hungry~"
He was wearing sea stone handcuffs, as was his custom, and looked listless.
Whether out of respect for the navy or not, that familiar straw hat was still on his back.
That figure was none other than...
"Straw Hat Boy" Monkey D. Luffy!
As the words of the Warring States period faded away.
Inside the windmill village, Makino covered her mouth, tears welling up uncontrollably in her eyes.
"Luffy!"
"It really is that kid!?"
"Those bad guys! What are they going to do to Luffy?!"
"Hey, you're kidding, right? Even if Luffy became a pirate, how could he possibly do anything bad? He's not guilty of anything punishable by death!"
"Public execution?! What are those trash from the World Government going to do to the children of Windmill Village?!"
The shouts throughout the bar were incredibly loud and intense.
This is only natural.
As people who watched Luffy grow up, they certainly know Luffy's personality.
So when they heard that Luffy was about to be publicly executed, their first reaction was disbelief.
Now that they have seen with their own eyes that it really is Luffy, they are naturally and rightfully furious.
But clearly, their anger was pointless.
Because at this moment, the live stream is still ongoing.
"I understand, everyone must be curious as to why an unknown pirate would be publicly executed."
The discourse of the Warring States period continues.
"The reason is... he has 'sinful blood.'"
He raised his hand and pointed at Luffy: "He's the son of 'Revolutionary' Dragon."
"The straw hat on his back is the hat of 'Pirate King' Roger, a relic left behind by Roger in the world."
"He inherited the blood of this sinful, chaotic era; he is the son of evil."
At this point, the language of the Warring States period is clearly somewhat complex.
He glanced down at the execution platform, as if he could see his old friend Garp.
But in the end, he forcibly suppressed his thoughts and continued in a deep voice: "And now, this sinful bloodline and Roger's legacy in the world... will be erased by justice here, witnessed by the whole world!"
"This is the significance of this public execution!"
