Chapter 137 Shanks, do you want to cooperate with me?
Judicial elites from all over the country came in droves, and the Judicial Island gradually became lively.
While the island was busy sorting out case files, Rowan specially arranged a meeting with Long, Sabo, Shanks, Beckman, and Luffy.
In the Inspector General's office, after several people sat down, they were all silent. As long as Luffy shouted for the Navy to let him go free, he wanted to eat meat!
"Monkey D. Luffy, do you know the truth about your fruit?" Rowan turned around in his seat, crossed his hands in front of him, and asked calmly.
"Rubber fruit! I've been eating it for so many years, how can I not understand it? You're not a fool for asking, are you?" Luffy shouted carelessly, his stomach growling with hunger.
"What do you think? Shanks?" Rowan turned to Shanks again.
Shanks grinned, as if he had been fooled, but looking into Rowan's eyes, he understood that Rowan already knew everything, so he simply put away his laughter and said solemnly:
"Luffy's rubber fruit was something I snatched from CP9 back then. That fruit was not an ordinary superman fruit, but a human fruit, a phantom beast species."
"Nani!? What kind of phantom beast?! Why didn't I know?"
Luffy's face was filled with questions.
"Because you have never awakened, you have always regarded it as a rubber fruit. It also responded to your wish and turned into a rubber fruit." The red hair replied.
"What is the Renren Fruit? Is it very powerful?" Luffy asked again.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way to the East China Sea to intercept this devil fruit. Unexpectedly, I was about to take it back for study, and you swallowed it." Shanks smiled helplessly.
"This fruit involves an ancient legend and is very feared by the world government."
Shanks' eyes turned to Rowan. It stands to reason that the Five Old Stars also believe in this legend. If they discover the host of the Nika Fruit, they will definitely eliminate future troubles and eliminate the root cause.
But the officials of this world government had no idea of taking action, and even kept Luffy's life until now.
I don’t know what kind of medicine this inspector general is selling.
"What kind of legend is that!? Is it about One Piece? Or is it about the Great Secret Treasure?"
Luffy's eyes were filled with stars, as if he was seeing a mountain of flesh.
"Hahaha! I wonder if the Inspector General knows this secret?"
Shanks turned to Rowan, testing his tone.
Rowan, who has watched One Piece, certainly knows the legend and importance of the Nika Fruit. According to the Five Old Stars, this fruit also has a certain degree of wisdom. It has always eluded the Five Old Stars and has never been taken over by the World Government throughout history. discovered.
Since the first Joyboy inherited the Nika Fruit, it has become a symbol of the savior of the huge kingdom. He is not only the one who has obtained the great secret treasure, but also the savior who can overthrow the tyranny of the Draco!
"Of course I know, so I called you here. Your purpose is more or less to overthrow the Tianlong people and re-establish an equal world federation." Rowan smiled and observed the expressions of several people. Variety.
Shanks smiled awkwardly, seeming to give up resistance.
Long also closed his eyes, but the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, seeming to have given up on fantasy.
He had previously hoped that Rowan would not know the truth and let Luffy go. Now that Rowan is fully aware of Luffy's threat, he is afraid that he will be executed soon.
Sabo and Beckman had heard this legend more or less, and always stared at Rowan's expression.
"I didn't want to overthrow the World Government, I just wanted to become the Pirate King. Although that Celestial Dragon from the Shampoo Islands is hateful, I can't wait to beat him again!"
Luffy still speaks unabashedly, and even dares to threaten to beat up the Celestial Dragons on Judiciary Island!
Ryu, Shanks and Sabo all took a breath. This kid was really born with a stubborn head. It was this kid who inherited Joey Boy's legacy!
"Luffy, you should know the seriousness of your gaffe! You will most likely be sentenced to death by the World Government!"
Dragon roared sternly.
"Capital punishment?! Does it mean that after being sentenced to death, you can no longer eat meat?"
Luffy asked, his eyes widening.
"Hahaha, Luffy, you are such a good boy!"
Shanks couldn't help but cover his face and laugh. Luffy was not afraid at all even when he was about to die. It reminded him of Captain Roger before his execution.
"Hmph!" Beckman hummed and couldn't help but smile.
"After you die, you can't become the Pirate King!" Sabo reminded.
"Ah!? Then I don't want it! I still want to continue sailing freely on the sea!"
Luffy shouted carelessly.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Rowan finally spoke:
"Actually, Joyboy's threat to the World Government is not as great as imagined! You think you have grasped a life-saving straw, but to the World Government, this is just something that can be destroyed at any time."
In the past, they would have thought that Rowan was bluffing. How could the Nika Fruit, which the Five Old Stars had not caught for many years, be destroyed so easily?
But after witnessing Rowan's thunderous methods in the battle at the top, they believed that Rowan did have the strength to kill Luffy.
"But according to judicial procedures, sentencing Luffy to death based on an unfounded legend would be somewhat inconsistent with procedural justice."
Rowan continued,
"Your case files are still being compiled. Monkey D-Dragon. As the leader of the rebels, you can be said to have committed the most heinous crimes and are the greatest threat to the world government. You should be sentenced to death."
Long was silent and just snorted from his nose. Even if he died, thousands of others would have to stand up. The war against tyranny will never stop!
"In addition, Sabo and Ivankov, as rebel cadres, you play an important role. According to the law, you should also be sentenced to death!"
Sabo snorted softly: "Kill or scrape, it's up to you!"
"The Red-Haired Pirates, based on the current feedback from the local people and the inspections by the supervisors, we found that you did not plunder citizens' property or kill innocent people indiscriminately. You just often drank and had fun and disturbed public order!"
"It stands to reason that you will not be sentenced to long terms, but as one of the emperors of the sea, your reputation has misled countless young people into going astray, fueled the arrogance of pirates, and had a great impact on the world. As a cadre, he must also be sentenced to life imprisonment."
Beckman frowned and said to Shanks:
"Shanks, as long as we fall into the hands of the World Government, they will drive us out and kill us. There is no excuse for the crime. No matter what we do, we will be killed."
Shanks said with a smile: "Could it be that if we resisted at that time, we could withstand the navy's offensive? I couldn't resist that humanoid figure at that time with a single sword!"
"So you just choose to surrender without mercy?!"
"I just don't want unnecessary sacrifices. Besides, I trust the Inspector General very much. He is not one of those stupid and corrupt officials of the World Government."
Rowan smiled and stared into Shanks' eyes: "Why?"
"Because no official dares to take ideas from the Tianlong people."
Shanks and Rowan looked at each other, their eyes as deep as wolves.
