Congratulations on Your Arrest

  Chapter 177 Tidal catastrophe?

  New Tokyo, Chiyoda Ward.

  The Judgment Department is stationed in front of the New Tokyo Residence.

Although Wano Country experienced the handover ceremony of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the owner of the highest power in the country yesterday, the new Prime Minister issued a cry for the injustice that Wano Country has suffered for a long time in his inaugural speech on the oath, which caused Countless people all over the country are excited!

  But people’s excitement always comes quickly.

   It’s also fast.

  Perhaps yesterday after the inauguration ceremony of the new Prime Minister Higashimori Kawatani, the excited and sleepless people will invite a few friends to sit in an izakaya.

  By being drunk, he gave impassioned cursing and denounced all kinds of preferential treatment enjoyed by heaven and man in Wano country, and all kinds of evil deeds of the adjudicator who ignored the laws of Wano country!

  However, wait until you wake up from sleep.

  The mediocre and mediocre life still has to go on.

Even though last night when I was with my friends, I scolded the adjudicator harshly and filled me with righteous indignation, but when the hurried passers-by got off work and passed by the dark and gloomy mansion in Chiyoda District this evening, the people still moved unconsciously. Open your eyes, as if you are afraid that you will encounter some misfortune if you take another look.

   Of course, not everyone is like this.

  At this moment, across the road from the black mansion of the Judgment Department, a very abrupt group of four people stood casually and naturally by the side of the road.

On the road ridge, although the man wearing an ordinary gray coat is not the most outstanding among the four in stature and appearance, one can see at a glance that he is obviously the core of the four with his aura. No matter how dazzling a person is beside this man, he can only become a foil like a green leaf.

  The setting sun on the western edge sinks slowly,

   Twilight is getting stronger.

In this pale red background, Hoover Corleone, the captain of the Corleone Pirates, one of the newly promoted Four Kings of the Four Seas, appeared on the streets of Wano Country by the East China Sea without warning. .

  He squinted his eyes and looked at the official residence of the Judgment Department in New Tokyo, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The old guys always like to build buildings like a spooky coffin. I don't know if it's scary or not, but after staying in that kind of building for a long time, people will inevitably become boring and boring. "

   When he said this, he didn't look back, and he didn't specify who to talk to.

  But the ears of the two men and a woman standing around him moved slightly, obviously paying attention to the man in front of him at all times.

On the right, the big-shouldered, bearded, bear-like vice-captain Buck scratched his head, and said in a low voice, "Boss, I think the people in the Judgment Division are quite interesting, especially when they are smashed into meatloaf by me." Every time I think about the high-spirited appearance before, I can't sleep with joy. Hahaha."

  The bear-like vice-captain Buck said, and actually burst out laughing after speaking, which caused the last off-duty workers who were in a hurry to cast a slightly surprised look at him.

The Judgment Department is similar to the God of Plague in the hearts of ordinary people in Wano Country. Most people would wish that they would never have anything to do with the Judgment Department in their lifetime. Years of fear made them pass by the Judgment Department's official residence in New Tokyo. Time will always speed up the pace unconsciously.

   But these four people are fine. Standing opposite the official residence of the adjudicator and watching for a long time without saying a word, one of them actually laughed out of joy

   I'm afraid this is not a fool, right?

   "Are you stupid?"

   Someone helped passers-by ask this sentence.

  The person who said this was Rossetti, the captain of the Corleone Pirates' first unit.

  She was wearing a casual lady's suit and a pair of fashionable pink sunglasses on the bridge of her nose. She was tall and fit, full of a cheetah-like wild aura.

Angrily complaining about the vice-captain Buck, the captain of the first team, Rossetti, turned his head to look at the man in front of him whose shoulders were somewhat steep and sharp under the setting sun, and said in a respectful yet worried tone. , "Boss, the locator on Little Hila lost its signal at noon today, do you think it was someone from the Judgment Department who discovered her, and then"

   "Hela is a smart girl, she is very good at using her own strengths, and the people in the Tribunal think highly of themselves. Don't worry, it won't be the result you think."

  Hoover Corleone continued with a smile, "As for the loss of signal from the locator, I expected it. It is still too difficult to receive the signal at the place they are going to."

  The bear-like deputy captain Buck heard the words and immediately mumbled, "No way? Although Wano is a small country in the East China Sea, I think their mobile signal network penetration rate is quite high. How can there be no signal in some places?"

   Hoover Corleone smiled noncommittally.

   "There's always room for it."

"where?"

  The first team captain Rossetti asked.

   "Like hell."

   Hoover. Corleone chuckled lightly.

  Hearing his words, both Rossetti and Buck couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

  At this time, the man among the four who kept a distance from the three of them and wearing a brown peaked cap with the brim pulled down suddenly said, "It sounds like you think your subordinate is dead."

If Higashinohara was here, he would probably recognize this man wearing a brown peaked cap as the three-sword swordsman Kamiya Ryunosuke of the East China Sea "Sakamoto's Dragon Pirates" who was rescued at the execution ground on Rising Sun Island last year. I don't know why, but I got mixed up with the "Corleone Pirates" from the West Sea.

Hearing Kamiya Takanosuke's words, Hoover Corleone just smiled and shook his head. He didn't explain much. Instead, he looked at the three-sword swordsman of Sakamoto's Dragon Pirates with interest and said, "Three-sword style, in my impression, except for the man who is called the 'Sword Emperor' in the Judgment Department, no one can cultivate such a killing sword with a skill close to Tao."

   "I heard that your condition for being our tour guide in Wano Country this time is to take you to meet the 'Sword Emperor'. I don't know your past, but now you, do you really have the confidence to face that man?"

   "Confidence that kind of thing. I certainly don't have it."

  Takanosuke Kamiya shrugged when he heard the words, and suddenly changed his tone and said, "But I have the courage. I only want to know the gap between us this time, so that I can have a clearer goal on the road of practice."

  Unexpectedly, Rossetti suddenly interrupted and said, "The goal is set too far away, and it is easy to make people despair."

   Ryunosuke Kamiya shook his head again, and said indifferently, "Sorry! I don't have both despair and confidence. I just believe that one day I will get back what belongs to me."

   "Interesting guy, have you considered coming to my pirate team?" Hoover Corleone suddenly asked with a smile.

Ryunosuke Kamiya was a little surprised and said, "Will the famous hero of the West Sea invite others? But unfortunately, I have already had a 'drinking wine' with a certain man. Unless I die, I will never get off that ship." .”

   "That's really a pity."

   Hoover Corleone said indifferently.

However, Rossetti couldn't help glaring at Ryunosuke Kamiya who "doesn't know how to flatter". Xikai doesn't know how many pirates are eager to board this man's ship, and they are even proud of getting a comment from this man. The thief must not know what kind of opportunity he missed.

  At this time, Hoover Corleone suddenly looked away from the building, shook his head slightly and said, "Okay, let's go back."

   Are you going back now?

  The three of them were a little surprised when they saw this.

  However, this man who broke through the door of the Nine Heavens and Humans, spoke and acted like a heir to a big family with a free and easy manner, turning around and leaving as soon as he said.

   After walking a few steps, he paused, and then said again, "There is one more thing, seven days later, we will go to the Sky Tree again."

   "What are you doing at the Sky Tree?"

   "Pick up people."

   Vice-captain Buck scratched his head, a little unresponsive.

   But Rossetti looked at the back of the man in front of him walking in the **** twilight, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and his eyes became sharper.

  According to the original plan, they didn't need to pick up Hela who took advantage of this social recruitment opportunity to break into the Adjudicator to perform the secret mission assigned by Hoover Corleone himself.

  After completing the task, she will join them.

  But now that Hoover Corleone has said this, it means that when Ji Haila’s operation is about to complete the task, there will probably be some variables—are those guys from the Judgment Division still planning to kill people?

   Rossetti took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous light.

  She is not worried that Hela will become an abandoned child, let alone the Judgment Division, even if it is the World Government, the man walking in front of them will not abandon any family members on board.

  Yes, it may be different from other pirate groups. The Corleone Pirates in the West Sea are managed by a family. As long as you can get approval to board the Corleone Pirates’ ship, you are a member of the Corleone Family.

  The first commandment of the family,

   means never betraying and abandoning family members.

  At this moment, what Rossetti, the captain of the Corleone Pirates' first unit, really cared about was the secret mission that Hela carried out this time, and where the "hell" she was in now.

  Although she didn't ask too many questions, she couldn't stop a strong curiosity from the bottom of her heart.

   There is no unique and even.

At this moment, the moment she realizes that she has passed the so-called [boundary] gate and is still alive, the light blue half-long-haired woman named Hela stands on this cold and empty street, feeling the air permeated by the tip of her nose. The desolate smell of withering and corruption.

  Hala stared blankly at the high-rise buildings that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years and the black swamp under the broken bridges and ruins, and couldn't help but feel the same doubts in her heart.

   Where are we?

   This question is not only uttered in her heart.

  The other people who passed through the [Boundary] gate from a height of more than 300 meters looked at everything around them, and their hearts were filled with the same doubts and shocks!

  At this moment, Hela suddenly noticed that the boy who came behind her was staring at a yellowed newspaper blown by the wind in a daze.

  Hela couldn't help following Higashinohara's gaze, and glanced at the newspaper.

  Possessed an outstanding language talent at an early age, she was proficient in many languages, but found that she didn't know the complicated and obscure fonts in the newspaper at all.

   Is this the text of "Hell"?

  Hela couldn't help thinking this way in her heart, she moved her eyes slightly up, and was a little curious why the boy behind her was staring at the newspaper beside her feet in a daze.

However, at this time, the shock that surged in Higashinohara's heart has calmed down calmly, and even his face quickly returned to "normal"—well, it means that he is just like other ordinary people. "surprise".

  At this time, there was a whistling electric sound from the radio communication headsets they carried when they passed through the space, followed by a mechanically synthesized sound.

   "The team voice is trying to access."

   "Access is successful."

   Immediately afterwards, the voice of the captain of the investigation team, Gray Mane, came from everyone's headphones.

   "We have now entered the unknown area, and now we will use our current location as a base to start the first investigation mission immediately. I will only explain the specific mission content."

"First, two people and a team will start exploring around the stronghold for half an hour to eliminate possible dangers nearby. Don't forget that the [Boundary] gate behind us will not open again until seven days later. It's important whether you live to see that day."

   "Second, if you encounter any unexpected situation during exploration, immediately report it in the team voice."

   "Third, keep the survey recorder turned on at all times. When we meet up in half an hour, I will check everyone's survey recorder."

  “.”

   "Now, start the investigation immediately."

In the team's voice, the captain of the investigation team, Gray Mane's slightly cold voice fell, and immediately pulled everyone back from the shock of seeing the new world for the first time, reminding them of the purpose of crossing the border gate this time and their own purpose. identity.

  Employers. To put it bluntly, they are beating workers, and they don’t need to be shocked when they encounter anything.

  Under Gray Mane's instruction, everyone immediately divided into two groups, and began to explore around this completely strange and strange deserted city with strong vigilance.

   Of course, "strange" and "exploring" are not for everyone.

  For Higashinohara, who moved to Jianghai with his parents since he was a teenager in his previous life, even though thousands of years have passed since the scene in front of him.

  But when he was walking on the streets of this desolate city,

   Not so much exploration,

   It is better to say that it is revisiting the old place.

Although many shops on both sides of the street have changed their names in previous lives, the landmark buildings that keep appearing in front of us, such as "Pearl Tower", "Central Building", "Oriental Sports Center", "Grand Theater", "World Expo". Some geographical features followed in the footsteps of Higashinohara, awakening bit by bit to piece together the memory of the city deep in his mind.

  At the same time, this also made Higashinohara more certain that it was the city where he lived for more than ten years in his previous life.

It's just that the city in front of him is like a rusty steel giant, half of his body leaning into the desert of time. Higashinohara can only restore the city in his previous life through the parts exposed outside the quicksand of time. The style in my mind.

   Some places can be matched.

  Some places are completely wrong.

  But as Higashinohara gradually calmed down from the shock of seeing this familiar city for the first time, countless questions arose in his heart.

Why?

  Why did the world he lives in today pass through the so-called [boundary] door, and he was able to step into the world he lived in in his previous life thousands of years later?

  Why is this here?

  What is the "outer tide" mentioned in the newspaper?

  If it is a catastrophe.

  people of this world

   Did they all perish in that catastrophe?

It also means that thousands of years after the demise of this world, he crossed the so-called [boundary] gate in an unimaginable way, and re-entered the place where he once lived and now has become as empty as hell. A dead world.

and many more!

   Higashinohara suddenly realized something.

   Strange Demon!

  Judging from the information he had in that world, the strange demon should have come to the world where he lives normally now through the [boundary] gate.

  Perhaps because of this, the genius of the Judgment Division called this place "hell".

   But he knew it wasn't **** at all.

  And judging from the attitude of the Judgment Division, they obviously still have some intelligence information that people like themselves do not understand, but where do they come from for this world intelligence?

  Higashi Nohara has read the history of Wano Country, and knows the world he lives in now, and the Celestial Beings came from outside the sky thousands of years ago and suddenly appeared in that world.

  That's why they are called "Heaven and Man".

If Higashinohara didn't know what the so-called "hell" was, and the gods were so familiar with this place, then he might guess that the gods might come from the "hell" behind the [boundary] gate, otherwise they would be unreasonable Will know so much about this.

  However, the fact is that Higashinohara knows the truth behind the so-called "hell", and he probably knows everything here better than all the heavenly beings.

  Besides, Higashinohara lived in this world for so many years in his previous life, and it is very clear that he has never seen or heard of the species of Celestial Man, so Celestial Man must not come from the so-called "hell" world.

   Does this mean there are other worlds? Some kind of "catastrophe" similar to this has also happened in the world where the heavenly beings live.

  Later, they would invade the world where Higashinohara lived in this life, break out wars with the local humans, and finally establish a world government.

   Then the problem is back to the original point.

  The catastrophe

  The tide mentioned in the newspaper

   There are also strange demons in the mouth of the adjudicator

  What the **** is going on?
