One Piece: The Emperor-Level Item Master Shocks the World

It was quite a while before he finally opened his eyes.

His pupils were bloodshot.

"What is justice, Warring States period?"

"There is no true justice in this world. There are various conflicts of interest, beliefs, and resources between countries."

"Fortunately, the alliance policy of the world government has maintained a semblance of peace between the major powers."

"But there are still many places we can't see, where wars are frequent between small countries."

"All of this is a consequence of the World Government's inaction in upholding justice."

"In order to survive under the tyranny of the World Government, they have no choice but to wage wars and plunder money."

At this point, Garp paused for a moment.

He then broke free from Sengoku's restraints, plopped down on the sofa, looked up at Sengoku, and continued:

"What meaning does our navy's prestige have for them?"

Every year, countless people go out to sea to become pirates in order to survive.

"For them, dignity means nothing; when it comes to survival, justice is just a word that's hard to write."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku looked at Garp with a cold expression, then turned away.

After a long while, he finally spoke:

"The victor reigns supreme; that is the greatest form of authority!"

……

Impel Down, the underwater prison.

On the sixth underground level, a large number of soldiers, carrying long guns, swarmed in.

They have just received orders to strengthen security measures at the underwater prison.

Although I don't know the reason, I have a vague feeling that something big is going to happen.

Magellan led a group of soldiers and stormed in from each floor.

At that moment, as Magellan passed by a cell, he stopped and turned to look.

A man wearing a navy cloak, a warden's hat, and a cigar was smiling sinisterly.

Seeing Magellan stop, the man's expression turned ferocious.

"Hey, Magellan, what's going on that's making such a fuss?"

"Could it be that you've run into trouble? Why don't you release me? I can lend you a hand!"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint appeared in Magellan's eyes, and he then spoke:

"Hey, Shiryu, don't even think about leaving here until you reflect on your mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Shiryu of the Rain threw his head back and laughed loudly:

"Magellan, do you know why you've spent your entire life serving in this underwater prison?"

"Because you are too conservative."

"And the underwater prison needs someone like you. Don't you want to get out of this prison and see the sights outside?"

"You don't want to spend all your time with those disgusting pirates, do you?"

Chapter 504 The Freest Man in the World, Pirate King, Roger

Upon hearing this, a solemn expression appeared in Magellan's eyes.

However, he quickly recovered and turned to walk straight ahead, saying casually as he left:

"Reflect on your mistakes, Shiryu of the Rain."

……

The sixth floor of the underwater prison.

Seeing the large number of soldiers suddenly surging around him, Ace's eyes showed a solemn expression.

Despite being prepared, Ace still felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Seeing Ace's somewhat desperate expression, Jinbe's eyes turned serious.

He then shouted loudly:

"Hey, the execution time doesn't seem to be up yet, what do you mean by this!"

Upon hearing this, before the soldiers could even reply, Crocdar let out his demonic laugh and said:

"In this dark and damp underwater world, even time seems to slow down."

Crocodile had just finished speaking.

One of the prison guards secretly slipped a newspaper to Crocodile.

Krocdale frowned slightly as he looked at the report.

The above is a report about Akainu and Rayleigh destroying the Sabaody Archipelago together.

Upon seeing this, Crocodile sat up straight and then laughed.

"That old man is still alive."

As he spoke, Crocodile leaned against the wall again, exhaling a breath of stale air, as if recalling something.

"It would be even better if the freest man in the world were still alive."

Upon hearing the words "the freest," Ace's expression showed a hint of emotion.

He then looked directly at Crocodile.

At that moment, Crocodile also glanced at Ace.

Their eyes met, but neither showed any fear.

After a moment, Ace slowly asked:

"Who are you talking about...?"

Upon hearing this, Crocodile turned his head, took a deep breath, and said with a serious expression:

"Twenty years ago, on this vast sea, the symbol of absolute freedom was Roger, the Pirate King!"

Upon hearing Roger's name, Ace's expression showed a hint of fear, and then the veins on his forehead bulged.

He could never forget this name, which he carried for the rest of his life.

This name is less like his motto and more like his curse.

Fortunately, over the years, he has learned to let go and be patient.

Ace exhaled a breath of stale air, trying to stop thinking about it.

But Crocodile started talking to himself.

"Speaking of which, Pirate King Roger was my idol back then. Such a powerful figure, it's just a pity he was an idiot."

Upon hearing this, Ace clenched his fists, even though he no longer acknowledged that the guy was his biological father.

His current father is just a white-bearded man.

However, deep down, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and immediately retorted:

"You call your idol an idiot, you really are a fickle person, Crocodile."

Upon hearing this, Crocodile burst out laughing.

"You know Laugh Tale, right? It's a magical land, and it's said that the great treasure is hidden there."

"But Roger did not take any treasure from the island after landing, and soon after, he appeared on the Navy's execution platform."

"At that time, there were two other people competing with Pirate King Roger for the right to enter Laugh Tale."

"And his greatest rival is Whitebeard."

"But in that final battle, neither side suffered any casualties."

"In the end, Roger successfully entered Laugh Tale and became the Pirate King."

"Whitebeard, on the other hand, retreated to the New World and became a regional overlord."

"But the final result is that Whitebeard is still one of the Four Emperors renowned throughout the world."

"And the Pirate King Roger has been buried underground for twenty years."

At this point, Crocodile opened his eyes, revealing a cold expression.

"It's obvious that he was tricked by Whitebeard. If you don't call him an idiot, what are you?"

Upon hearing this, Estun's veins bulged, his muscles were clearly visible, and his teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

He then said angrily:

"Stop talking nonsense here. Everyone in the New World knows who your father is. What do you know? You're just spouting nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Crocodile was not angry at all, but instead burst into laughter.

"I admit that Whitebeard's actions were not without their merits, but this world is inherently a mix of black and white, where good and evil coexist."

"No one can define anyone's good or bad with just one sentence. There's no point in arguing about this here, right, Fire Fist Ace?"

Upon hearing this, Ace gritted his teeth, and a trickle of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

Upon seeing this, a look of worry appeared in Jinbe's eyes.

"Hey, Ace, what are you doing? Stop right now! You'll die if you keep going like this!"

Despite Jinbe's attempts to persuade him, Ace's chest continued to pound, his mind filled with rage.

Seeing Ace's angry expression, Crocodile couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But as he was laughing, his smile suddenly froze.

Because beneath Ace's angry expression, he actually saw a figure!
