Chapter 385 Public Execution? Who?
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
The former headquarters of the detention force, now the Starhunting Force base.
"call..."
After taking a delicious sip of cola, Roy felt as if it had been a long time since she had felt so relaxed.
After all, ever since he helped Zephyr deal with Edward Weevil, a series of events—whether related to the "Twelve Constellations" or others—had kept him from spending much time at headquarters.
"A leisurely life is really nice..."
Roy pretended to blow on his cup, took a sip of cola, and gazed into the distance.
Then he saw the chaotic scene at the Marine Headquarters, with a large number of Marines running in and out near the castle tower, each carrying a large number of documents.
"Yes, especially when everyone is busy."
There's always a certain pleasure in watching others busy while you're relaxed.
Especially when you know that you brought this busyness upon yourself, this kind of pleasure can escalate to the level of perverse amusement.
That's right.
The Navy Headquarters has been very busy lately.
To be precise.
After the Fishman Island incident, the Navy has been very busy since the Esther set sail.
They were monitoring the movements of that giant starship and preparing various contingency plans—it is said that the navy already had dozens of plans for this, and the wrinkles on the faces of Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru had increased by more than one layer.
Most importantly, the contingency plan for the Esther was not even fully prepared yet. Not long ago, the ship that had been sailing safely on the sea suddenly disappeared.
It is said that that night, the telephone lines of the Navy Headquarters and many branches were instantly overwhelmed with calls, and countless headquarters officers received orders on the spot to prepare for the worst.
But the next day, two explosive pieces of information followed.
Firstly, on that night, Kaido of the Beasts launched a surprise attack on Totto Land for unknown reasons. Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors who was thought to be dead, reappeared and has now been confirmed to have joined the Twelve Constellations.
The Esther, which disappeared from the Navy's intelligence network, actually appeared in Totto Land and killed Kaido there.
To put it bluntly, this news is another major story that could keep the staff at the Navy Headquarters up all night for a week.
Big Mom didn't die; she even joined the twelve zodiac signs.
Another Yonko has fallen.
Either one of them would be news enough to shake the ocean.
But the key point is that this isn't even the whole story.
According to naval intelligence, it happened on the same night.
Originally in a state of "isolation," Wano Country seems to have undergone a dramatic change. The structure beneath Wano Country's sea surface has been completely destroyed, and the entire country has declared itself "open to the world."
Meanwhile, it is said that a huge ancient warship, suspected to be Pluto, also appeared in Wano Country.
The person who piloted that warship was also confirmed to be the Rabbit, one of the twelve constellations.
"Tsk tsk, such explosive news... plus the death of the Five Elders."
"Luckily, I'm already a member of the Star Hunting Force, otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to leave the office for a month."
Roy's expression was subtle as he silently mourned for the hair loss of the Warring States Marshal. He vaguely remembered that the marshal had a full, voluminous afro when he was young, but now his hair volume was worrying.
"That's not right either. In the original story, after this guy retired, he went back to having his old afro, which means his hair follicles are still very active and can withstand the pressure."
Lost in thought, Roy's actions did not stop.
"Furthermore, the Marine Headquarters and the World Government being in a bit of chaos... is a good thing."
As he murmured to himself, Roy slowly raised his hand.
The Door-Door Fruit's power is activated, and an object appears out of thin air.
That was a compass.
That's right.
This compass is the same one Loki gave him in Elbaf, and it points to the location of Rocks.
And that's the key point...
After obtaining the compass, Roy secretly searched for the location it pointed to.
First, the compass itself is pointing steadily downwards; in other words, Rocks should be underwater at this moment.
Besides, among all the places where Roy was trying, the compass needle reacted the most strongly and pointed the clearest to the place where he was at the Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Only here is the compass needle closest to vertical, but not completely vertical; it still has an angle of about 70 or 80 degrees.
"It's not inside headquarters, but somewhere near headquarters, beneath the sea."
Roy looked at the direction of the pointer and silently tried to determine where it was pointing.
"Or to be more precise..."
Through the sea, he could see in the distance the gate that symbolized naval justice.
But Roy knew—behind that giant gate, there were two more similar gates.
"At the center of the three Gates of Justice, that is... directly beneath the core basin of the Marin Megacircle."
As someone who had trained beneath the surface of Marineford, Roy naturally knew this very well.
He once shattered the Marin Mega Circulation beneath the ocean surface during his training with Zephyr.
But that was only the edge of the Marin Megacircle.
The true Marin Gyre exists in the core ocean area at the center of the three Gates of Justice, where even deep-sea kings are torn to pieces by the violent currents.
But the most crucial point is not that.
The most crucial point is that, prior to this, Roy had entered the underwater world under the guise of "cultivating the Black Body Flow" and quietly approached the Gate of Justice in the direction indicated by the compass.
He clearly noticed it.
Within the seemingly endless flow of the Marin Megacircle lies a hidden power.
That power was very similar to the power he had when he was restricted by Im's Abyss Magic Circle in Wano Country, and it was also very similar to the Abyss Pillar of Totto Land.
Therefore, it is almost certain that Roy is involved.
Within the Marin Giant Circulation, there must be a massive abyssal magic circle, along with numerous Abyssal Pillars. Perhaps even this massive circulation itself was created by Im.
But that's precisely the problem.
"Lox's body should be down there."
"Once I find it, the 'key' that Lox gave me will work..."
"Thinking of the key I had just received from Lockes thirty years ago," a sharp glint flashed in Roy's eyes.
And now the problem he faces is clear—how can he get through this giant Marin Circulation?
"Should we just drive the Esther straight in? No... we're too close to Mary Geoise and Marineford. If Im can use the power of the Pillars of Creation, he could easily corner himself."
The simplest and most direct approach was quickly rejected by Roy.
But soon he realized another problem.
"Maintaining a bloodline factor creation of the scale of the Marin Mega-Circulation would be extremely difficult for Im in its current state!"
Having fought Im twice, in Wano Country and God Valley, Roy was certain that Im was currently struggling to utilize his power effectively.
It is neither possible nor reasonable for Him to maintain the existence of the Marin Megacirculation for an extended period.
But the fact is that the Marin Mega Circulation has existed here since the establishment of the World Government and has never changed.
Therefore, the only explanation is...
"The existence of this ocean current is not due to Im's power—or rather, not entirely?"
"Im may have merely amplified its power," or "imposed constraints" on it, but the very creation of this ocean current... might be some kind of technological advancement or a natural phenomenon?"
Upon this thought, a flash of inspiration struck Roy.
"There are three gates of justice—Marineford, Mary Geoise, and Impel Down..."
He thought of news he had heard a long time ago.
"Deep within Impel Down lies a mechanism." Every so often, the Five Elders will check the stability of that mechanism's structure.
"In addition, even the warden of Impel Down is restricted from entering and inspecting the prison."
"Besides Impel Down, Mary Geoise and Marineford each have similar machines."
That was the news that Magellan, the warden of Impel Down, told him.
And now he felt that he seemed to know what the mysterious void at the bottom of Impel Down was for.
"Boss!"
But just then, a sudden knock on the door and Hans's surprised voice brought Roy back to his senses.
"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss?"
After composing himself, he let Hans into his office and asked him casually.
"No...it's not making a fuss—boss, look at this! The government just sent orders to headquarters and command!"
""
Upon hearing this, Hans quickly handed over the intelligence he was holding.
"Oh?"
Roy frowned slightly: "Headquarters and headquarters?"
The term "Headquarters" naturally refers to the Navy Headquarters, while "Command" refers to the Star Hunting Force.
In other words, this is a direct order issued by the government to both the Navy and the Starhunting Forces, which is quite rare.
After receiving the intelligence and taking a closer look, Roy frowned even more.
"I can't believe such a thing happened..."
His voice was barely audible, carrying a surprise that had become increasingly rare in him lately.
Because at this moment, the intelligence report clearly stated...
Two weeks later, the government will execute a criminal in Marineford.
[His blood runs with evil; he is an enemy of the government and the world's elite; he is a sinner who must die in the sight of the entire world.]
Its name is...
Monkey D. Luffy, the Straw Hat Pirates
