One Piece: My Shadow Can Hang Up

King Goa was struck by lightning and froze in his place.

"Actually, there is a compromise, but I don't know if you will agree." Lafitte suddenly laughed.

"Nothing could be worse than this." Sereny II wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and listened quietly to what Lafitte said next.

"How about this, the kingdom can be saved, and you, the king, can replace it. I believe you should be willing to exchange your life for the lives of tens of thousands of people, right?"

Hearing Lafitte's words, Sereny II was instantly sick.

Willing, willing.

How could those lowly inferior people be worth his life in exchange, he didn't want to.

"Can I choose neither of them?" Sereny II said with a wry smile.

"This one won't work, and that one won't work either. In that case, let the captain decide your life or death!"

As he said that, Lafitte's expression was no longer that weird smile, but gloomy and terrifying, just like a vampire.

Sereny II felt his body lighten, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the air.

The Goa Kingdom Square was crowded with people, and the strong man in charge of the execution had arrived.

The gallows was surrounded by the Kingdom's soldiers, and it looked very solemn.

"Why hasn't it started yet? Who is going to be executed?"

"I heard that some of them are pirates, and some say they are refugees. It is said that they bumped into Flix III."

"Now there is a good show to watch, squeeze forward and find a place where you can see clearly."

On the square, all kinds of people gathered, including civilians, nobles, and a mixture of good and bad, but some of them were there to watch the show, and others were forced to come.

Otluk III and the Sapphire Pirates were also present.

"Look in the direction of the palace, there is a strange big bird."

"Huh? The bird seems to be holding something... No, why do I think it looks like a human?"

As the figure in the distance in the sky got closer and closer, people's vision became clearer and clearer.

"That's..."

"It's His Majesty the King!"

The crowd was in an uproar. What on earth was going on?

When they got closer, they saw that the king was brought here by a flying human. Those who didn't know thought that Lafitte was a god or an angel.

Then, a shocking scene occurred. The person who caught the king threw the former to the ground casually like throwing away garbage.

As luck would have it, it landed right in front of Moria's feet.

"Captain, I brought the person here." Lafitte clapped his hands and stood aside.

Serene II raised his head and met a familiar face. It was not as ferocious as the one in the newspaper, but it was 70% similar to the one in the newspaper.

"Are you the King of Goa?" Moria asked in a low voice.

"I... I am." Sereny II nodded quickly: "I am one of the member states of the World Government, the king of the Kingdom of Goa."

As for the additional emphasis at the end, he deliberately added it to shock Moria and let him know that he is the king of a member state of the World Government and has the support of the World Government behind him.

"It's good that I didn't catch the wrong person." Moria said in a moderate voice: "Do you know why I caught you?"

Sereny II shook his head quickly. He really didn't know where he offended this plague god.

He had also heard about the massacre in the West Sea, but at that time, he just felt incredible from such a distance.

Now that the other party is here in person, it's like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head. The feeling that it may fall at any time makes him very panic.

"Tell me! Who gave you the courage to hang my crew in the street!" Moria suddenly raised his voice and shouted angrily, scaring Sereny II so much that he couldn't control himself.

"You... who are you? How dare you hold the king hostage and threaten him!"

At this moment, a group of people came from a distance. Most of them were wrapped tightly, like protective clothing, holding flintlocks or flamethrowers in their hands.

Only the leader was wearing armor, like a knight.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Just as they raised their guns and prepared to aim at Moria and others, they saw that the muzzle of the spear behind Moria was already spitting out fire snakes, accompanied by wisps of green smoke.

"Plop! Plop!"

There was a bottomless blood hole in the center of the eyebrows of several people, and then they fell to the ground with a look of astonishment.

"Your life is over." Fan Oka carried his beloved gun Qianlu on his shoulder and pushed his single-frame glasses. His old wounds had not healed and were still wrapped in bandages, but it did not affect his performance.

"Ah!"

"Murder!"

There was a panic in the crowd, and some timid women even screamed.

It was too bloody and too brutal.

"You..."

King Sereny II was about to say something, but when he met that cold gaze, he instantly withered.

"I really don't know, Mr. Shichibukai. If I knew they were your people, how could I embarrass them?"

Sereny II wanted to cry but had no tears at this moment. This matter was not caused by him. He was at most an accomplice.

At this time, King Goa saw Felix III and his relatives who were detained aside, and he immediately gnashed his teeth with hatred.

"Shichibukai!?" Felix III also heard this name from the king.

Shichibukai.

The world government recognizes the great pirates, each member possessing catastrophic destructive power and huge combat power that rivals the country.

He couldn't understand. He felt like he was dressed like a beggar. How could he be a subordinate of such a big shot?

At this moment, he belatedly realized the seriousness of the problem. The Shichibukai was nothing more than a master who protected the calf.

As the king of the world government's participating countries, he had more or less heard about what Moonlight Moria did in the West Sea. Although the probability of such things happening in the participating countries was very low, if the other party's brain got cramped...

"Something happened to one of my people here. I need you to give me a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, none of the people here will be able to escape."

Moria's unkind tone frightened Serene II so much that he didn't dare to breathe.

The latter dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. He had never been so humble.

"How about I punish Flix severely and put him in jail?" Serene II asked tentatively.

Immediately afterwards, Serene II felt a little out of breath.

"Are you making fun of us?" Moria put his hand on Sereni II's shoulder. The latter suddenly felt the pressure increase suddenly, and his body felt like he could no longer support it.

"Mr. Shichibukai, what do you think we should do? As long as I can do it, I can agree to it." Sereni II was already sweating profusely at this moment, and his old bones could not withstand such torture.

"The hanging will continue, but the people will be replaced." Moria said: "Everyone involved in this matter will be executed. In addition, my subordinates will be given 100 million in mental and physical damages."

One hundred million? Why don't you go and grab it?

However, after thinking about it, he could indeed collect that much money by searching and plundering. After all, he was not King Liku who loved his people as his own children and did not extort money. He still had a lot of assets under his control.

only.

"Everyone involved in this matter will be executed. Those guards who participated in the arrest..."

Before Sereni II could finish speaking, Moria interrupted: "Didn't you hear what I said? Yes, everything!"

Moria said word by word, then lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's okay not to kill, you will take their place!"

Then... forget it.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Serene II ordered that Felix III and his family members be hanged.

"Wait a minute." Moria suddenly interrupted and said to Sereni II: "The female family members will be kept for now. It would be a pity to execute them like this. Even if they are sold as slaves, they can make a lot of money. "

The wife of Felix III and other women felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar when they heard Moria say this.

And just when Felix III wanted to curse, someone forcefully stuffed a ball of cloth into his mouth, and he could only hear a whining sound.

Moria and others were sitting near the execution platform, monitoring everything that happened here.

Facing the execution of this nobleman and the guards, most of them not only did not feel regretful, but also felt happy.

Not to mention that Felix III bullied men and women, and was arrogant and domineering. Even these guards only served the nobles and royal family, and they usually relied on the power in their hands to act arrogantly.

Under the stage, a group of people were standing at the back of the crowd. At this time, a young man punched the middle-aged man next to him:

"Uncle Longde, why are you here? There's something else going on at the market that I need you to go over and take care of. Eh? Does the person on the stage look familiar? Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere?"

"Uncle!? What's wrong with you?"

The next moment, the middle-aged man collapsed to the ground, his face even more pale.

"He is...he...is actually the Shichibukai!!"

The middle-aged man was trembling and stammering, as if he was extremely frightened at this moment.

"What Shichibukai?" The young man was puzzled.

The middle-aged man named Saron had chattering teeth and couldn't control his trembling even while squeezing his thighs. He said with a trembling voice: "The Shichibukai is composed of the seven great pirates in the world. They are all powerful and can defeat an enemy country. They also have legal possessions." The right to rob is legal!”

"Is there such a thing? Even robbery can be legalized!?" The young man was amazed at first, but then he asked: "But does this have anything to do with us?"

"Who did you think he looked like just now?" Saron asked.

"Like the one next to the peasant woman yesterday..."

"Shut up!" Saron almost slapped him and said angrily: "What did you say? This is what you can say. If you want to die, don't take me with you."

The young man looked confused, thinking that what you said yesterday was much more unpleasant than what I said. Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?

As if seeing his nephew's doubts, Saron said worriedly: "You may not know that just now because the members of the Kingdom Guard participated in the arrest of his men, the king has now ordered that nearly a hundred members of the Guard be hanged! "

Just because of this thing, more than a hundred people were executed?

It was only now that the young man finally connected the Shichibukai with the person he offended yesterday.

It’s over!

Completely finished!

For a while, cold sweat was pouring down.

"Uncle, are we going to be killed? I'm still so young and I don't want to die. You do the work alone and take responsibility..."

Before the young man finished speaking, he was slapped to the ground by Saron: "Okay, you immature white-eyed wolf, even if I die, none of you can escape!"

This action also attracted the attention of the people around him. Salon bent down instantly, fearing that he would be discovered by the people above.

After being slapped, the young man also came to his senses, knowing that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly said nice things to Salon.

"How about we go over and apologize? Maybe he can forgive us..." the young man asked tentatively.

"You are such a fool. Let's not talk about whether you can get close to him now. Even if you walk to him alive, what can you show?"

Saron continued to analyze: "Even if he agreed, do you think that the vicious people under his command can let us go so easily?"

"What should we do?"

"Now... there is only one way to save our lives!"

"What way?"

When the young man heard that there was a way, he immediately had hope of survival and asked hurriedly.

"I heard that the farmer...the lady lives in the windmill village on the other side of Korpo. Her family runs a tavern. This incident was caused by her. As long as she is willing to plead for us, we have a 90% chance of surviving."

Seemingly seeing the other party's concerns, Salon added:

"I have had several contacts with her. The lady is gentle and kind, and should not be so unkind. You go to buy some gifts and find a carriage now. We will go now, quickly, immediately!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"

"..."

On the other side, Otluk III was horrified when he saw the person being executed on the stage.

He didn't expect that a pirate would dare to execute a noble in the street, and the king didn't dare to say a word.

In his eyes, pirates are lowly people, and they are not worthy of being on an equal footing with nobles like them.

But this one seems to be different. Not only does the king not dare to put on airs in front of him, even the World Government wants to win him over.

Beside him, the captain of the Sapphire Pirates, Blue Gem, had stars in his eyes, and looked at Moria on the stage as if he saw an idol.

"I didn't expect to meet such a big man here!" Bluejem thought to himself, feeling that a man should live like this.

When he was groveling to the nobles, begging for mercy from the nobles so that he could live in Gaozhen and live a noble life, the nobles were already looking at the nobles as ants, and they would crush anyone they wanted to.

Even a noble man like the king was respectful and obedient to him.

Such a life is something that every pirate yearns for.

Unfortunately, with his strength, he is probably not in the eyes of the other party.

"Little guys, let's go to the Waste Terminal to bring back those three, two little ghosts and the young master."

Bluejem shouted to his men, and the others looked at him reluctantly.

They are both pirates, look at them, they have no worries about food and clothing, and there is a captain who protects his calves to support them, and then look at yourself, busy every day, and still hungry for nine meals in three days...

At the same time, the three brothers at the Waste Terminal were still rummaging around, looking for so-called materials, and they didn't realize that danger was coming...
