Two months later, Wano Country Juvenile Detention Center.
Given the criminal suspects' subjective negligence, the four retainers—Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Raizo, and Kiku—who had been enslaved by the principal offender, Kozuki Momonosuke, through feudal personal relations, received light sentences. They only needed to undergo three years of reform through labor before regaining their freedom.
However, the principal offender, Kozuki Momonosuke, could not escape punishment for his crimes.
His sentence was ten times that of the four retainers.
Because Momonosuke was still young, he had not been thrown directly into a labor camp. Instead, he was temporarily sent to a juvenile detention center.
The League had Momonosuke first receive education in Demacian theory at the juvenile detention center, striving to cleanse the lingering poison of feudal thought from his mind as soon as possible and reform him into a new person beneficial to society.
Juvenile offenders who underwent ideological reform and successfully graduated from the detention center would not be released directly. They would be assigned to labor camps in areas needing workers and continue serving the remainder of their sentences.
Compared with labor camps, life at the juvenile detention center was much easier.
Yet like the other students in the detention center, Momonosuke also wanted to pass his educational assessment as soon as possible and enter a labor camp to work.
