Chapter 489: Judicial Island
"So fast! It's like turning a mountain upside down!"
After catching the triangular current, the speed of the Amber soared, and everyone needed to hold on to the railing to ensure that they would not be thrown out when the current suddenly changed direction after entering the door.
Even though Tom was holding onto the railing, he still showed everyone one of Luffy's skills, the rubber pendulum.
The statue on the bow is almost scared to tears. Speeding is an uncivilized behavior. You are clearly trying to make things difficult for me!
There was a little chaos on the warship, but fortunately, the soldiers on board were all well-trained marines, and the warship was soon able to maintain stable sailing.
The people on Judicial Island have received the news from headquarters and opened their Gate of Justice to welcome everyone into the port.
"Wow!" When everyone saw the full view of Judicial Island, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The scene before them was really incredible.
The main island of Judicial Island is almost entirely suspended in the air, with a huge hole underneath, as if someone had punched a huge round hole on the sea surface, and seawater poured in through the hole like a waterfall, but after so many years, there is no sign of it being filled up.
According to the latest plot, the meaning is related to the "Mother Flame" researched by Vegapunk, because after the destruction of the Kingdom of Lulucia, the same abyss was left on the sea.
The pick-up ship sent by Judicial Island was already waiting behind the Gate of Justice. Although he had learned from the Den Den Mushi that there was a civilian ship following in addition to the warship, he still confirmed it carefully.
After confirming that everything was correct, the warship and the Amber followed the shuttle boat around to the main gate of Judicial Island. The Marines escorted the prisoners off the warship. The Amber tour group followed Zefa and looked around. Others came here to complete the mission, but they were here purely for sightseeing.
After passing through a long and narrow passage and entering the second main gate, everyone saw two giants guarding the gate.
Seeing the curious expressions of the children, the person in charge of guiding them introduced them, "Those are Oimo and Casey from the giant tribe. They have signed a contract with the World Government to guard this place for a hundred years."
The reason is that these two idiots thought that their captains, Tonli and Broki, were imprisoned in Impel Down, and the World Government promised to release them as long as they guarded the gate for a hundred years.
In reality, Dongli and Brockie were still arguing in the garden, and under the influence of Zhang Daye and the others, they planned to return to the village soon. It was just unclear whether the giants' concept of "soon" differed from that of ordinary people.
"One hundred years?" Weiwei didn't know much about the giants.
The guide knew Weiwei's identity and was happy to show off his knowledge in front of her. "That's right, giants have a long lifespan, more than three times that of ordinary people, so a hundred years is nothing to them."
Perona said: "That's right, we have seen two giant uncles fighting for ninety years."
"Fighting for ninety years? How could that be?" Weiwei was surprised. Her little head couldn't understand such behavior.
The guide, unaware that she was referring to the two giants the government had used to deceive Oimo and Casey, nodded and said, "That's possible. Giants are a very violent race, and many of them can easily go berserk."
People are not only prejudiced against fishmen, but also against giants. Even though there are many giant vice admirals in the headquarters of the navy, people prefer to believe that those are just exceptions and most giants are violent and barbaric.
There are even rumors that giants eat people, so if you see one, you should immediately pretend to be dead.
Oimo and Casey obviously didn't realize that this group of people had seen the two captains they were looking for. They just confirmed the orders from the main island and then opened the door and let them pass.
Zhang Da was also conflicted for a while. If these two people knew the truth, they would run out to find Dongli and Broki and continue to be pirates, which would make him unhappy.
However, he would also be unhappy to see that the World Government had deceived these two good fighters, and he had to think carefully about what to do.
At the end of the road on the main island is the court, where criminals are tried. Everyone originally thought that it would take a long time to try these more than one hundred pirates.
However, the so-called trial was just to drag the pirate in for a walk, explain his origins, and the jury inside shouted "Guilty!" "Guilty!", and the presiding judge banged the gavel and it was over.
He was completely different from the old judge that Zhang Daye and the others met on the judicial ship in the Seven Water City - although this was not an injustice to these pirates, they always felt something was wrong.
Weiwei, in particular, found it difficult to accept such a hasty trial. After leaving the courtroom, she whispered, "Isn't this how a courtroom should be?"
"I don't know much about the judicial system either. You can take note of what you see and ask your father when you get back. You should also think carefully about what the court in Alabasta should look like."
Zhang Da cannot teach something he doesn't understand, and what he knows may not be suitable for Alabasta. However, he understands the principle of adapting to local conditions. It would be best to let Vivi read and think more, and then go back to ask Cobra for advice.
Zefa, who was walking in front, pretended not to hear. He was just a soldier and an instructor. These were matters for the World Government to consider, and it was not his turn to interrupt.
Next, everyone walked across the suspension bridge behind the courtroom, passed through the Judicial Tower, and escorted the tried prisoners to the Bridge of Hesitation at the end of the Judicial Island, and took the prisoners onto a special escort boat.
Generally speaking, the escort mission has ended at this point, and other people will naturally send the prisoners to the Impel Down City later, but this time it is an internship mission, and Zefa has to lead the trainees to the entire journey.
At this time, the marines who stayed behind on the warship drove the warship back from the front gate to the Bridge of Hesitation. The Amber was driven over by the Flag Demon, and the two ships followed on both sides of the escort ship, passing through the Gate of Justice again and taking the triangular current.
On the way, Ye Yan, wearing a sackcloth-like outfit, approached Zhang Daye in a flattering manner: "Boss Ye, are you interested in cooperating with me to complete a great performance art?"
Zhang Da also smiled and politely declined, "No."
"At least listen to my idea. What if you are interested?" Ye Yan acted coquettishly towards Zhang Daye without any psychological burden, which made Zhang Daye feel disgusted.
"Okay, okay...you go ahead, stand there and talk, and keep two meters away from me!" Zhang Da also took a few steps back, looked at what Ye Yan was holding, and guessed, "You don't want to pretend to be the three-headed judge, do you?"
The presiding judges on the Judicial Island are also weird. Three of them wear special clothes together, leaving only two hands and two feet exposed, making them look like one person with three heads.
Ye Yan became happy: "As expected, you are interested! You and I, plus Uncle Long, will just be able to get enough people!"
Uncle Long, who was caught in the crossfire, said, "Well... actually, I'm not that interested in this kind of performance art..."
Ye Yan immediately revealed a tearful expression: "Uncle Long, you have changed. You used to tell me about the armor of medieval European knights..."
"I just happen to have some historical knowledge about that area..." Uncle Long didn't expect that popularizing knowledge could involve him. "I just want to collect works of art, not become a work of art myself..."
