Gol D. Roger Imprisoned (Patron 5/10)

The next day, clouds rose and fell, and golden sunlight, like a veil, slowly drifted down, reflecting the azure sky onto the vast, boundless sea.

Marineford, majestic and solemn, the Marine Headquarters, the place where justice resides.

But today, something has happened that has caused an uproar throughout the world.

A pale face, radiating a captivating smile, and a grinning man appeared in Marineford without warning.

"Hmm! This person looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."

A sailor passed by, glanced at the man strolling around, and scratched his head.

"Looking at you, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before." The navy man walking with her also looked at the man passing by with surprise, but she just couldn't remember him.

And so, this man strolled leisurely to the main square of Marineford, gazing at the imposing buildings.

"Sir, I am Gol D. Roger. Please inform your Fleet Admiral."

Standing in the large square, the man smiled and stopped a navy officer, grinning broadly.

"Are you crazy?! If you're Gol D. Roger, then I am!"

Suddenly, the stopped navy man's pupils widened, and he opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

"You, you"

Trembling all over, the navy man stared at the man in front of him in disbelief, his heart seemingly stopping.

"Please inform your Fleet Admiral. Of course, Garp, Zephyr, Sengoku, and Tsuru are also welcome. I'll be waiting here."

Finally, Roger looked at the fleeing navy soldiers who nearly tumbled to the ground, shook his head, and wondered if he was really that scary.

"Smack smack"

Not long after the navy left, a rabbit dressed as a cowboy, with a bruised and swollen face, chewing on a carrot, walked up to the man, looked at the scrambling navy back with a hint of curiosity, and sneered disdainfully.

The sudden appearance of the rabbit surprised Roger.

"Hey! What's your rank? You scared that navy guy like that!"

The rabbit nudged Roger with its shoulder, a sly glint in its eyes.

"I'm not a Marine. If you're going to say I'm from the Mink Tribe, then you must be one! What are you doing here? And in this state?" Roger's expression was quite varied as he looked at the rabbit with its dark eyes, unable to suppress a smile.

"Don't even mention it. I was beaten up all night. If it weren't for Rabbit Lord skills, I probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed right now. You look pale; you must be malnourished. Do you want some?"

The rabbit waved its hand, revealing a weary expression, and then pulled out a carrot and handed it to Roger.

"I was just getting hungry." Roger took the carrot, took a bite, and found it crunchy. He nodded, "Very sweet. It's definitely not an ordinary carrot."

"Sit down and eat, my back hurts a little."

Bai Doudou down on the ground and gestured for Roger to sit down as well. Roger smiled and sat down beside her.

For a moment, the man and the rabbit sat on the ground, munching on carrots and chatting.

Meanwhile, in Sora's office, a meeting was underway. The Roger Pirates had disappeared for a year without a trace, as if they had vanished into thin air, which greatly displeased the Five Elders. As a result, Sora planned to revise the strategy.

"Bang"

The door was suddenly flung open, and a navy man collapsed to the ground in a panic, his face filled with terror, drawing everyone's attention.

"The Fleet Admiral Kong, the One Piece One Piece Gol D. Roger, has appeared in the Grand Plaza!"

The entire conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"What?" Garp frowned, his expression not looking good.

Of everyone present, only Ye Chen's gaze shifted. If he wasn't mistaken, Roger had turned himself in.

"Gol D. Roger, the One Piece, has appeared in the main plaza."

One mistake might be possible, but two is absolutely impossible. To lie in front of so many important figures—even a fool would know it's impossible.

Everyone looked solemn as they rushed out of the conference room, using Geppo to head towards the main square.

"Roger."

When everyone saw that man, they all felt it was a complete fantasy.

However, something seemed off. Everyone twitched their lips and looked at the rabbit chatting and laughing with Roger. Their expressions changed. Damn, the man and the rabbit were sitting together, gnawing on carrots, and they seemed to be enjoying it.

"Oh, the person I've been waiting for has arrived."

Seeing Kong and the others appear, Roger stood up, patted his butt, and grinned at Bai Doudou.

"Bai Doudou, you come here and die!"

With a dark expression, Ye Chen glared at the Dead Rabbit, thinking, "Damn it, in the blink of an eye, everything I do is so rotten."

"What are you doing? I, Rabbit Lord, haven't caused any trouble. Let me tell you, rabbits have their rights too."

Muttering and grumbling, Bai Doudou still walked towards Ye Chen, because he sensed that something was off.

"Roger, what are you doing here?"

Several beams of Observation Haki emanated from the air as it warily watched Roger.

"No need to look, it's just me." Roger laughed heartily, quite calmly. "I've come to turn myself in."

"Breaking news! Breaking news! One Piece King Gol D. Roger has been captured by the Marines!"

"Big news! Big news! The One Piece Sanmae has been captured by the Marines and will be executed in Loguetown in a month!"

The whole world was abuzz with news. Countless News Coo traversed the globe, dropping news reports that were earth-shattering and upheaval.

Three days ago, Roger surrendered, and Kong immediately ordered a news blackout, then reported it to the Five Elders.

Three nights passed, the empty office remained brightly lit until finally, the World Government announced the news.

This news came without any warning, like a Meteorite suddenly crashing into the ocean, creating endless waves and shocking the whole world.

At this moment, prominent figures around the world, looking at the news in their hands, expressed doubt, shock, and even disbelief.

How did the One Piece, who had seemingly vanished, suddenly get captured by the Marines?

What happened?

"How is that possible? That's the One Piece! How could he be captured by the Navy?"

From the Four Seas and the Grand Line to the New World, whether they were pirates, tycoons, or kingdoms, all forces were staring at the newspapers in disbelief.

"Who captured the One Piece? Could it be the Marine Garp the Hero?"

"I don't know, it's not written on it."

The newspaper carried only one picture: Gol D. Roger, the One Piece King, sitting in his cell with handcuffs on.

"The One Piece has been missing for a year. Could he have been imprisoned by the Navy the whole time?" some people speculated.

"How is that possible? If the One Piece was captured by the Navy a year ago, why is the news only being released now?"

"Did you guys notice? The One Piece's right and left hands, as well as the other members, aren't on it. Only Gol D. Roger was captured. That's really strange."

"What exactly happened that we don't know about? This news came so suddenly, without any warning!"

"Could the Navy be lying?"

"Idiot, the reports say it all: the One Piece will be executed in Loguetown in a month. The Navy wouldn't risk its prestige for something so pointless!"

The whole world, all seas are discussing it.
