Not long after Golden Lion left the Whitebeard Pirates, news spread across the sea that Golden Lion had been captured. It was said that Golden Lion, in order to find Roger, personally stormed the Marine Headquarters, but before he could even see Roger, he was jointly suppressed by Garp and Sengoku. The battle between the three almost destroyed half of the Marine Headquarters, one can imagine how intense the battle was at that time.
When Whitebeard received this news, he only sighed, and in fact, he wasn't too surprised by this result, Golden Lion's strength was indeed very strong, but he had gone to the Marine Headquarters, the Navy's base camp, where there were countless experts, it would have been strange if he hadn't been captured going there alone.
However, what Whitebeard thought was a very normal thing, after it spread to the pirate world, it caused a great uproar, Roger the 'Pirate King', one of the three legendary pirates recognized on the sea, being captured had already shocked the world, and now another legendary pirate, 'Golden Lion' Shiki, had actually also been captured, was the Navy going to completely cleanse the pirates?
But when the process of Golden Lion's capture was spread, everyone understood what was going on, and one by one they secretly cursed Golden Lion for overestimating his abilities, everyone acknowledged that you were very strong, but you shouldn't be courting death like this, running to the Marine Headquarters alone to make the Navy release Roger, what difference was there between this and seeking death?
Not long after Golden Lion wreaked havoc at Marineford, the Navy suddenly announced a major piece of news to the entire world, a major piece of news that shook the entire world, and everyone who heard this news was trembling, especially the pirates.
One month later, the execution of 'Pirate King' Roger would be publicly carried out in Loguetown in the East Blue!
As soon as the news was spread, it directly detonated the entire world's journalism world, and countless news media outlets competed to publish this news, and some news agencies with strong intelligence capabilities also reported some of Roger's deeds, such as where Roger was born, when he became a pirate, when he set sail, why he became the Pirate King, and many other of Roger's deeds were unearthed.
In short, in this instant, Roger became the focus of the world, even more eye-catching than the moment he became the Pirate King.
As the first publicly recognized Pirate King in history, Roger had an extremely high status in the pirate world, and not to say that all pirates regarded him as an idol, but at least seventy or eighty percent of the pirates yearned for him, it was conceivable what a huge impact it would cause for such a 'Pirate King' to actually be publicly executed by the Navy.
The reason why they decided to publicly execute Roger so quickly was in large part because Roger was feared by the top echelons of the World Government, others might not know what exactly the legendary treasure was, but the Five Elders and others who were at the top of the World Government certainly knew some information, so they feared Roger, who knew the World Government's secrets, and prepared to execute Roger as quickly as possible.
After learning that 'Pirate King' Roger would be publicly executed in Loguetown in the East Blue, his birthplace, countless people couldn't wait to start taking action, and headed to Loguetown in the East Blue, the scene of the execution of the 'Pirate King' would certainly be very grand, and many people also wanted to witness this historic moment.
"Pops, is that Roger guy really going to be publicly executed by the Navy?"
After the news spread to the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco and the other Whitebeard Pirates also found it hard to believe, although they had known before that Roger had been captured, and might not have a future, but they never expected it to come so quickly, and moreover, it was going to be a public execution in front of the world, this was simply a great humiliation.
Whitebeard sighed, "Roger has his own plans, so let's not think too much about it, the execution site is in the East Blue, and we can't go there, so let's send him off from afar at that time."
The atmosphere of the Whitebeard Pirates seemed rather depressing, although they had fought with Roger more than once on the sea before, in reality, there wasn't much hatred between the two sides, and on the contrary, many of the Whitebeard Pirates had a good impression of Roger, after all, the other party was also a powerful pirate.
But now, such a legendary pirate who was revered as the 'Pirate King', was actually going to be subjected to capital punishment in front of the world, and this inevitably gave people a feeling of sighing.
"Pops, I really want to go and see the place where Uncle Roger is being executed." Akira Stone said to Whitebeard again.
Whitebeard frowned, and said, "Akira Stone, didn't I already tell you, Loguetown from now until the day of the execution, is full of danger, it's not that I'm not letting you go, but it's for the sake of your safety."
Akira Stone returned to his room with a depressed expression, but he was worried in his heart, his going to Loguetown wasn't just to send Roger off, he also had more important things to do, the impending change of the era gave him great pressure, and he didn't want to always stay in the Whitebeard Pirates, receiving the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates, he had his own path that he wanted to walk, so he had to go on this trip to Loguetown.
But the problem now was, Whitebeard simply wouldn't let him go, and Akira Stone knew Whitebeard very well, and don't think that Whitebeard was very easy to talk to, but once he had decided something, wanting him to go back on his word, was almost impossible.
"What to do? What on earth should I do?" Akira Stone paced back and forth in the room, with a worried expression.
However, what Akira Stone didn't know was, in Whitebeard's room on the other side, Whitebeard had called Marco in.
"Pops, you were looking for me?" Marco arrived in front of Whitebeard, he was very strange, it should already be rest time at this time, and Whitebeard had actually called him over alone, could it be that there was something that couldn't be said during the day?
Whitebeard didn't have the same relaxed expression as he did during the day, but instead said to Marco with a serious expression, "You know about Akira Stone wanting to go to Loguetown to send Roger off, right?"
Marco nodded, and said, "I know, Pops, what's wrong?"
Whitebeard sighed, "That kid Akira Stone has a very stubborn personality, and although I denied him, if he really wants to go, he will definitely try to find a way to go, and rather than let him make a fuss, it's better to let him go to Loguetown to broaden his horizons, but I'm worried about his safety, so I want you to go with him."
Marco said in surprise, "Pops, do you mean that I should secretly go with Akira Stone?"
Whitebeard laughed heartily, "It's to let Akira Stone think that you secretly ran away."
Marco's eyes turned, and he immediately understood Whitebeard's meaning, and he said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, Pops, leave it to me."
Akira Stone was thinking in his heart about how exactly he could persuade Whitebeard, and let him go to Loguetown to watch Roger's execution.
"Akira Stone, are you there, I'm coming in!"
Marco's voice came from outside the door, but before Akira Stone could answer, he had already pushed the door open and walked in.
Akira Stone was in a bad mood, and rolled his eyes, and said, "Marco, I didn't let you in, how did you come in?"
As Akira Stone grew older, Marco no longer called Akira Stone by his nickname like he used to, but instead directly called his name, and Akira Stone was the same, but the relationship between the two was still as close as ever.
Marco said with a sly expression, "Akira Stone, I've come to find you about something important, do you want to hear it?"
Akira Stone said with a disdainful expression, "You have something important? Who are you fooling?"
Marco didn't take it to heart, but instead said with a sad expression, "Sigh, forget it, since you're not willing to listen, then forget it, I was originally planning to take you to Loguetown together, it seems that I can only go alone, what a pity ah, what a pity!"
Akira Stone was stunned by Marco's words, and he suddenly reacted, and exclaimed, "Marco, you're going to Loguetown?"
"Shh, shh, shh!"
Marco was startled, and quickly covered Akira Stone's mouth, and said in a low voice, "Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid that others won't be able to hear you?"
After exclaiming, Akira Stone also realized that he had lost his composure, and he quickly nodded, signaling Marco to take his hand away, and Marco said, "I'll take my hand away, but you can't shout anymore." As he said that, he took his hand away from Akira Stone's mouth.
Akira Stone certainly wouldn't shout, and he asked in a low voice, "Marco, what do you mean by what you said just now about going to Loguetown?"
Marco said, "What else could it mean, of course it's to go see Roger's execution ceremony, those Navy guys are really too arrogant, Roger had just become the Pirate King, and they're executing him, they're doing this for us in the pirate world to see, and to warn us."
Akira Stone nodded, and said, "That's for sure, executing the Pirate King is of great significance to the Navy, and it's also a show of force to all the pirates, they can even execute the Pirate King, so what else can't they do?"
Marco said, "Tsk tsk, but I'm really very curious, what exactly is going on with that Roger guy? Why was he captured by the Navy, and moreover, he's going to be executed in Loguetown, I heard that Roger's birthplace seems to be Loguetown, right?"
Akira Stone said, "Yes, Marco, are you really planning to go to Loguetown?"
Marco said, "Of course, such a grand event, it's definitely very lively, of course I have to go and see it."
"But Pops said, it's very dangerous there?" Akira Stone asked tentatively.
