There was a knock on the door of the Prime Minister's Office of the Wano Parliament Building.
The grassroots councilor Dongsen Ya, known as "our Prime Minister", changed his usual gentle and friendly image. The buttons on his collar were unbuttoned because he was too angry. There was a strange blush on his face, and his face was covered with bloodshot eyes after not sleeping all night.
His eyes were fixed on Shin Takagi, the head of the Metropolitan Police Department behind the desk in front of him, and he let out a deep roar:
"How could he die like this?! How could you, the Metropolitan Police Department, let him die like this?!"
Takagi Shin, the head of the Metropolitan Police Department, faced the question from the man in front of him, his Adam's apple rolled, and he stood straight on the spot, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Dong dong dong—!
At this time, the steady knocking on the door came again.
Dongsen Gu turned his head suddenly, frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his heart.
He is no longer the grassroots member he once was, and his office is no longer the humble office he once was. Instead, he is in the parliament building, the highest power center in the country of Wano, and his guards are all outside.
Who can make the guard let the other party walk to his office door and knock on the door of the Prime Minister's office without an appointment?
Suddenly, a shadow flashed in Dongsen Gu's mind.
Just then,
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Of course, it is impossible for the door of the Prime Minister's Office to be locked in broad daylight, and under normal circumstances it is impossible for anyone to push open the door of the office without authorization.
However, today's visitor, wearing a navy blue windbreaker, pushed the door open and entered in a natural manner, then closed the door gently with his backhand as usual.
After the visitor came in, he casually found a single sofa in the living room in the middle of the office and sat down. He leaned back, put his hands slightly crossed on his knees, and looked at the two people in front of and behind the desk with a gentle smile.
He said, "Did I come too suddenly? You can continue your topic. Besides, the weather today is very good."
Dongsen Valley looked at the gentle young man on the sofa who was almost twenty years younger than him. Regardless of the other person's family background, strength, and the secret they had been planning for many years, he would not get angry with the other person under any circumstances or status.
But today is different.
Prime Minister Higashikata Tomori took a deep breath and looked past the old man Takagi Shin who was standing straight in front of him with his eyes and nose and his heart silent. He immediately stared at the smiling man sitting on the single sofa.
The amiable young man said in a deep voice, "The Sixth Judgment is dead, and the Fifth Judgment also died last night."
"I know."
Kimura Hakutaku said in a relaxed tone.
"I know you know.
So, this is your plan?"
Prime Minister Dong Morigu suppressed his anger and asked, "Announce the boundaries of the Sky Tree to attract other forces, and then let those people kill all the people who came to Beijing to rule?"
"Honestly. Not really."
Kimura Hakuto shrugged and said with a rare wry smile, "I didn't expect that man to be so powerful. No, he seems to have become more powerful than before."
At the end of the sentence, Kimura Hakutaku's face showed a look of interest.
He also had a job at the New Tokyo Fruit Ability Research Institute, and was full of curiosity about the man wearing a dark golden dragonfly mask.
Kimura Hakutaku even once suspected that the various abilities displayed by the other party might come from the [Ability Fruit] he invented.
However, the power fruit is extremely unstable, otherwise it would not be called "devil fruit" by countless gamblers after flowing into the black market.
If the probability of surviving after eating one is 1 in 10,000, then if the opponent survives after eating two, it is a very small probability of 1 in 100,000,000.
In the mind of Kimura Hakutaku, who has rigorous thinking and logic, extremely small probability events are equal to impossible events.
Of course, if the other party really acquires abilities through the ability fruit as he guessed, then the only explanation that can be found is that some kind of antibodies appear in the other party's body, which hinders or alleviates to a certain extent what happens after the ability fruit enters the human body.
Destroying changes
Across the way, I saw that the gentle young man in front of me was a little distracted.
The corners of Dongsen Gu's eyes twitched involuntarily, and a vein appeared on his forehead that was red with anger. He took a deep breath and lowered his voice and roared:
"They are dead! They died in Wano! You should know those damn Celestials and Judgment Division better than I do! They will go crazy! What about our cooperation with the Judgment Division?"
"Go crazy? Cooperate?"
Kimura Hakutaku was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the man sitting in the most powerful position in the country behind the bright desk of the Prime Minister.
Today, the other person is wearing a well-tailored, expensive-quality suit. His hair and beard look like they are carefully taken care of by someone who gets up early every morning. Now it is completely impossible to tell that this man was living on the streets and worked as a cashier, repairman and mover to make a living.
.
"You may have forgotten."
Kimura Hakutaku glanced at Shin Takagi, who had his back turned to them, and did not care about the existence of the head of the New Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
The other party had joined their small, secretive group many years ago, but perhaps because of his age, he rarely made any noise.
At this moment, Kimura Hakutaku lowered his eyelids slightly, as if he was speaking to Dongsen Valley, and as if he was reminding Takagi Shin who remained silent.
"We have never been moderate reformists."
Hearing Kimura Hakutaku's calm voice gradually losing its warmth, Prime Minister Higashi Moriya could not help but be slightly startled.
He glanced at Kimura Hakutaku, the leader of the third investigation team, who was sitting calmly on the sofa, and then at Shin Takagi, who was standing upright with his back to him. The anger in his chest suddenly disappeared, and he sighed silently.
tone.
That’s all
Now he can only pray secretly that last night's incident can be controlled within a controllable range, and that even if the Adjudication Department gets angry, it will not spread to the entire Wano Country.
Inexplicably, the figure of the quiet dragonfly mask came back to Prime Minister Higashikata's mind.
To be honest, when Higashikata did not win the election and was still a "grassroots member" loved by the people, he still had deep feelings for the mysterious strong man who exercised "interest-driven justice" who claimed to be the "New Tokyo Discipline Committee".
Some good impressions and admiration.
But since he became the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, he didn't know why, but he became more and more disgusted with the so-called "New Tokyo Discipline Committee" and basically classified him as a dangerous terrorist.
Now, in Dongsen Valley's heart, he really hopes that someone can catch that damn guy, or simply die in the hands of the Judgment Division.
What a pity.
His two prayers were destined to be unfulfilled.
New Tokyo, Edogawa Ward.
In the rented apartment of Aragaki Apartment, when Higashinohara and Nishimaru Miria heard a knock on the door, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
After careful identification, Higashinohara finally realized.
The other person knocked not on his door, but on Nishimaru Miria's room next door.
The two looked at each other. Although Nishimaru Miria was young, she also knew that Higashinohara's identity was sensitive now and must not be exposed.
So she immediately jumped up and walked quietly to the bed to take a look.
Unfortunately, the angle was not enough, and it was impossible for her to poke her little head out, and she did not see who was coming.
At this time, the person knocking on the door in the corridor outside seemed to realize that no one was at home, and the footsteps came softly towards his room again.
Nishimaru Miria suddenly couldn't sit still.
She bent her waist, stood on tiptoes, and gestured towards Higashinohara.
Higashinohara understood immediately and tried to stand up from the tatami. Unexpectedly, when he stood up, the wound on his body was affected, and he almost cried out in pain.
After calming down, Higashinohara supported the wall and entered the bathroom shower room.
After a bloody battle in the heavy rain last night, I sneaked all the way home through the sewers. When I got home in the early morning, I relaxed and lay down on the tatami without changing my clothes and fell asleep.
So what Higashinohara needs now is to take a good bath and change into clean clothes.
Unexpectedly, after he walked into the bathroom and just turned on the shower head to turn on the water, an undisguised cry of surprise from Nishimaru Miria suddenly came from outside the door.
Although it is speculated that most of the people coming from outside are not dangerous, it may be Charlie or the landlord Aragaki Satoru.
But after hearing Nishimaru Miria's surprised voice, Higashinohara knew that his previous guess had come true, and he felt relieved.
Ten minutes later, Higashinohara changed into clean clothes and walked out after taking a shower.
"Big brother has finished washing!"
Hearing the movement inside, both Kolodiya and Nishimaru Miria turned their heads. Nishimaru Miria happily ran to Higashinohara and said, "Brother, my aunt has been released."
"Welcome back! Thank you for your hard work," Higashinohara said.
They say women's intuition is terrible.
After hearing Higashinohara's words, Clodia glanced at the fresh-faced young man in front of her after taking a shower, and suddenly felt an indescribable strangeness in her heart, but she couldn't tell what was strange about it.
The next second, Kolodiya realized that she had lost her composure and said quickly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Kolodya was the one who left the small clinic this morning. After knowing that she had relatives in Tokyo who were not homeless, those people did not impose any restrictions on her whereabouts.
It was just that Nanami Kenjiro looked at Coladia's leaving figure and recalled the man who entrusted this woman to them last night, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Although he is used to digging people up as a scavenger, this professional habit is limited to dealing with enemies and mission targets.
Kolodya was not his enemy or target, on the contrary, she was the person entrusted to him by the man to whom he owed two lives.
So even if he keenly grasps some clues in his mind, he won't say that he will follow the clues and dig deeper.
Nishimaru Miriam is still a child in Coladia's eyes, so after they first met, in order not to worry Nishimaru Miriam too much, she did not tell her about the experience of the Adjudication Department from heaven to hell and what she experienced last night.
Dangerous.
Although Nishimaru Miria learned about what happened last night from Higashinohara who came back first, seeing that her aunt Coladia didn't want her to worry, she had to pretend not to know anything and could only say that both
He is a very gentle and kind person.
At this time, despite experiencing so many dangerous things in just two days, the familiar feeling came back the moment I stepped into my home.
Clodia rolled up her satin-like hair around her ears and said with a smile, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll cook for you."
This is the daily life she has long been accustomed to in Wano Country.
"I'm here to help."
Nishimaru Miria immediately spoke.
Higashinohara looked at everything in front of him with a chuckle, and inexplicably remembered a sentence in his mind: "The repetitive daily life we are accustomed to may be a series of miracles." So he must cherish and protect all of this.
After a while, Xia Li, who was sent out to investigate the celebrity's extramarital affair, also called it a day.
After returning to the rented house, Charlie heard the news that Coladia was released, and immediately ran over to have a meal, which was called to celebrate Coladia's safe return.
After entering the door and sitting on the tatami, Xia Li turned on the TV and was used to watching it.
Speaking of which, she is now used to working at the Aragaki Detective Agency.
Since discovering the benefits of extramarital affairs investigation, he has begun to expand his business in this area crazily. Recently, he has become famous among many detective agencies throughout Edogawa District because of his prominence in extramarital affair investigations.
Of course, the main reason is that this product is relatively boring.
After accepting an extramarital affair investigation mission, she discovered halfway through the investigation that it was a misunderstanding. In order to repair the relationship between the couple, she spent almost a week collecting evidence of "no cheating", and was scolded by Aragaki Satoru for being a worthless person.
Incurable fool.
But such an idiot actually allowed the couple to resolve their misunderstandings and fall in love again.
Afterwards, the employer not only doubled the investigation fee, but also sent a banner and accepted a radio interview. He called it the conscience of the extramarital affair investigation industry, and Aragaki Investigation Agency became an instant hit.
It has to be said that in a bustling metropolis like New Tokyo, there are many people who suspect their husbands or wives of cheating but dare not face the reality and still hold on to the last glimmer of hope in their hearts.
After seeing the radio interview, they all found the Aragaki Detective Agency and asked them to investigate their spouses.
Of course, the individual cases worth interviewing are just accidental, and most of the survey results are not so satisfactory.
At this time, in the cramped rented house that was gradually regaining its popularity, Charlie turned on the TV and moved back to the tatami, chattering away a bunch of interesting things she discovered while investigating extramarital affairs.
Finally, she tilted her head, the two long furry ears on her head beat happily, and sighed with a face like a third-rate philosopher.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so it's really hard for me to understand humans who are obsessed with reproducing estrous creatures. Isn't the partner I have promised to live with for life not as good as the wild flowers and weeds outside?"
Higashinohara glanced at her, feeling speechless.
It is said that one’s butt determines one’s position, but this guy, Charlie, takes advantage of her mixed-race status to express her emotions every day. Sometimes she angrily denounces heavenly beings, and sometimes she mocks humans. She simply jumps between the two positions repeatedly by relying on her swaying butt.
Shaking his head, suddenly, a real-time report on NHK TV news attracted Higashinohara's attention.
"This station reports that the dangerous terrorists arrested by the Judgment Division in recent times will be executed as scheduled outside Sakurada Gate at 11 noon today to serve as a warning to others!"
Execution outside Sakurada Gate?
For a moment, not only Higashinohara, but also Kolodya, who was cutting side dishes with her back to him in front of the chopping board not far away, could not help but stiffen slightly.
During the heavy rain last night, he turned over the official residence of the Judgment Division in New Tokyo. The Fifth Judgment user Crow Sword was also beheaded, and basically all the people waiting for execution on the second and third underground floors were gone.
Execution?
Who will be punished?
Immediately afterwards, the reporter's voice from the NHK TV news channel suddenly flashed with a hint of shock, but he continued according to the script:
"It is reported that the Adjudication Department was attacked by unknown terrorists last night. The fifth and sixth adjudicators were killed one after another. Countless members of the execution team were injured last night."
"The Adjudication Division has decided to classify the incident as an SSS-level incident and permanently retains the power of investigation and accountability."
"In addition, according to the Adjudication Division, those executed today are extremely evil people imprisoned in dungeons. We hope that the people will take this as a warning and strictly abide by the law."
"Um?"
Suddenly, the camera suddenly turned, and the reporter was stunned for a moment.
In the news footage on the TV screen, outside the Sakurada Gate, the people who were put on the execution platform one by one were all ordinary-looking people, and some were even clearly from the country of Wano.
There are old and young, male and female.
Under the ridiculously good weather today, several boys and girls aged 16 or 17 in the same class who were arrested for protesting and marching, and who only got the news yesterday that they would be released today, were inexplicably brought here this morning.
His face seemed to be looking around in confusion.
Finally, I looked at the faces of shock, grief, anger and pity gathered outside the Sakurada Gate, as well as the other ashen-looking fellow travelers around me.
These boys and girls of the same age as flowers finally realized what was about to happen next.
"No! It's not like that!"
"We are not dangerous!"
"That's right! We are from the country of Wano, not foreigners."
Under the execution platform outside Sakurada Gate, some parents were horrified to realize something was wrong.
"Child. That's my child!"
"Asshole! Didn't you agree to release them today?!"
"."
Under the anxious and pale voice of the NHK reporter, the parents who received the news at the scene screamed and screamed.
As soon as the time came, the bloody execution began without warning.
Everything is performed silently!
Incredibly fast!
No one has reacted yet
in an instant,
The blood suddenly bloomed and flowed into a pool of blood, and headless corpses fell one after another.
On the tatami in front of the TV.
Higashinohara's figure instantly jumped upright, with his hands clasped on his knees, silently staring at the mosaic of bloody execution scenes on the news.
After half a ring.
He slowly lowered his head and cursed silently.
"grass!"
Almost at the same time, in front of the black building where the Adjudicator was stationed in Wano Country.
Under the flashlights of countless media reporters, the captain of the black-robed execution team of the New Tokyo branch was holding a press conference with a gloomy face.
Today, he has only one statement to make, which is the decision of the Beijing Adjudication Division:
From now on,
The Adjudication Division will permanently leave Wano.
This also means that Wano Country will no longer fall under the jurisdiction and protection of the Adjudication Division.
Rights and obligations are always equal.
When the triennial World Conference is held in June, Wano may even be kicked out of the more than 300 allies protected by the World Government.
As soon as the news came out.
In an instant, the whole country of Wano was shocked!
