Codex Pirates

Chapter 217 Hidden in the Heart

On the pier, both Murloc Tom and Espagu were handcuffed and knelt on the ground.

The spear gun that Carter Flam developed to hunt sea kings was cut, but it still remained on Tom the Murloc. The wound was bleeding profusely, and soon the ground under him was dyed red.

With the support of his subordinates, the judge with white beard and hair came to Tom the Murloc, and said with some regret: "The advent of the sea train is simply a miracle, and it will play an inestimable role in the future development of the capital of seven waters. Originally, with this credit, you could be cleared of the crime of building a ship for One Piece, why did you commit such a crime again? Do you not believe that the world government will give you a fair trial?"

Murloc Tom had already shed a lot of blood, and his face was already pale. He glanced at the smug Spandam, and laughed, but the laughter was somewhat sarcasm: "World government, fair?"

The onlookers, Carter Flam, were not handcuffed like Murloc Tom and Espagu because Ajin was the alibi, and he couldn't help retorting loudly at this moment: "We didn't do this at all. ! It must have been done by the man named Spandam next to you!"

Spandam on the side was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, as if what Carter Flam said was very funny: "Nonsense, everyone knows that those warships are the works of your Tom's studio, and Murloc Tom was also taken by us. I asked you, as an official of the world government, why did I attack the judicial ship? Also, I heard that you built those ships? Did Tom order you to do this? Just to attack today Justice ship?"

Carter Flam said excitedly: "You want to get..."

But before he finished speaking, Tom the Murloc interrupted sharply: "Shut up, Fram!"

"Your Honor, I plead guilty," Tom the Murloc panted heavily, and seemed a little powerless when he spoke, "I planned the attack on the judicial ship today, and I actually built those warships myself."

"Mr. Tom!"

Espagu and Carter Flam looked at Murloc Tom in surprise.

Ajin sighed. What Spandam said just now obviously wanted to involve the students of Murloc Tom in the case. Tom said this to protect them. In this situation, there are almost no people in Tom's studio. possibility of exoneration.

"This matter was my plan from the beginning to the end. At the scene of the crime, you only found me alone, didn't you?"

When Tom said this, he let out a low cry, and with a crisp sound, he broke the chain of the handcuffs.

The judge with white beard and hair and the guilty Spandam were taken aback and took a step back involuntarily.

"I have never considered myself guilty. The trial fourteen years ago and today's trial are actually a joke to me! Because Roger, the Pirate King, is a man who can build a ship for him...," the murloc said. Tom said every word, and following his words, he gradually pulled out the spear gun on his shoulder, exposing the terrible wound on his shoulder, and by this time his voice had become extremely loud, "It's me A lifetime of glory!"

The blood spattered by Murloc Tom when he pulled out the speargun splashed on Espagu's face, and he looked blank: "Mr. Tom, why do you say that? This matter has nothing to do with you at all."

The navy accompanied by the judicial ship on the other side has already aimed at the murloc Tom who is free from the handcuffs, while Spandam is anxious to let his subordinates use special guns that can fire narcotic bombs. He also wants to order the judicial ship’s navy, but unfortunately It doesn't work.

"Espagu, now things are a foregone conclusion, but the worst outcome is nothing more than the same as fourteen years ago," Tom the murloc even turned his head and smiled at Espagu, and then his smile subsided, revealing a trace of Ace The expression Bagu had never seen before, "Death is not terrible, the only thing I feel pity is the unfulfilled wish, so remember what I said before."

Espagu was stunned, because if he read correctly, the look on Murloc Tom's face turned out to be pleading.

At the same time, Murloc Tom waved his speargun ferociously and rushed towards Spandam.

Spandam, who has no fighting strength, was taken aback by the crazy murloc Tom, and even forgot to stop the judicial ship's navy from firing. When he heard an order, a neat gunshot rang out on the pier. ring.

Murloc Tom rushed forward a few steps by virtue of his inertia, but finally collapsed. His huge body was like a hill, and the ground seemed to tremble.

Only then did Spandam come back to his senses, looked at the murloc Tom who was quickly pooling a pool of blood under him, and shouted loudly: "Doctor! Call the doctor quickly! He can't die!"

People on the pier talked a lot. These people were all frightened by the attack of the warship just now, and many relatives and friends were injured because of it. Seeing Tom the Murloc admitting what he had done, they were full of disgust for him, and the words It also seemed a little unbearable.

Carter Flam's face was livid, and he was about to yell something, but his temple suddenly hurt, and then his vision went dark, and he passed out.

Ah Jin on the side put away his fists, and supported him as if nothing had happened. Ah Jin actually has no feelings for Tom the Murloc, and it is impossible to sacrifice his life to save him. Tom already took the blame for it, and he didn't mind helping.

After his subordinates went to the doctor, Spandam's face was cloudy and uncertain. He looked at Murloc Tom, and then at Espagu who was still being handcuffed. Murloc Tom didn't know if he could be saved. If he died like this, only the students of Tom the Murloc would know the clues to the Pluto's design.

"Murloc Tom's students must also be inseparable from the attack. How could they not know what Murloc Tom did?" Spandam thought for a while and said to the judge.

The judge silently pushed aside the navy soldiers guarding him, looked at the murloc Tom lying on the ground, and asked Spandam after a long time, "Have you ever taken a sea train yourself?"

"Ah?" Spandam was taken aback, as if he didn't expect the judge to ask such a question suddenly.

"If you have been in it, you should know how amazing it is, and the person who can invent it should have a lot of credit and talent." The judge made no secret of his regret.

Spandam's face was ugly: "But he is a vicious criminal, a criminal who built a ship for One Piece and never repented!"

"Yeah, so in the current situation, he deserves what he deserves," the judge sighed, but changed the topic, and said, "But you have just heard that he has pleaded guilty, and he was the only one you found at the crime scene." People, there is no evidence to prove that his students are also involved in this case, and these young people also have credit for the construction of the sea train, I will not arrest them without evidence."

Leaving Spandam standing still, dumbfounded, the judge came to Espagu, who had already burst into tears and collapsed on the ground like a ball of ooze.

He bent down and said to Espagu as gently as possible: "Young man, the law is the rule to maintain the world order. It restricts everyone's behavior. Only then will the era of great pirates come. Tom has broken the law and must bear the consequences. Don’t resent the government and the law. I hope you can inherit your teacher’s talents, but don’t go astray like him. Only then can we make more contributions to the world.”

Espagu didn't look at him, and didn't even respond, his eyes blurred by tears kept falling on Murloc Tom.

Resentment, how could there be no resentment? Espagu knew very well that Tom the Murloc was wronged, and it was only for the blueprint.

For fourteen years, for a full fourteen years, people from the world government didn't think about how to help the city out of the predicament, and didn't think about promoting sea trains, but tirelessly pursued the conviction and execution of those who had anything to do with One Piece, and pursued a A blueprint of unknown authenticity, and then kill the people who are really trying to help the city.

The judge ordered Espagu's handcuffs to be released. Espagu didn't do anything drastic. He just came to Tom the Murloc's lifeless body and lay down on it, crying loudly.

Unlike the impulsive Carter Flam, the steady Espagu would only keep his resentment deep in his heart.
