One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 236

The East Blue, of all the seas in the world, is the most peaceful and tranquil one. Simultaneously, it’s also known as the weakest of the Four Blues.

However, this irony becomes evident when considering that the Pirate King, Roger, the Marine hero, Kapu, and many other prominent pirates and marines originated from East Blue.

But today, the peaceful East Blue has suddenly become very lively. Countless people have flocked to this once serene sea. Pirates can be seen everywhere, constantly attacking nearby villages. A cannon fire engulfs countless towns and lives.

The cause of this sudden change is simply an announcement in the newspapers that the Pirate King, Roger, will be publicly executed in his hometown, East Blue’s Loguetown.

Numerous common folk and pirates have come from all corners of the world’s seas to witness this spectacle.

As the destination for this event, Loguetown has already gathered numerous pirates and people. They gather in Loguetown’s taverns and restaurants, loudly discussing everything about the Pirate King, Roger.

“Hmph! That so-called Pirate King! I don’t acknowledge it! Only I am worthy of the title of Pirate King!” Clearly intoxicated, a tall, ferocious-looking man stands on a table, shouting.

“Hmph! A mere clown, what right does he have to claim the title of Pirate King!” A man dressed in a black trench coat with a cowboy hat and a long sword at his waist snorts disdainfully.

“Kid, do you look down on me? Do you even know who I am? I’m Jack, the Bear, a famous pirate with a bounty of 1,100,000 Berries!”

The drunken man glares at the man in the cowboy hat, and his entire
demeanour transforms tremendously into a massive brown bear.

“Hmph, just a stupid bear.” The man in the cowboy hat slowly draws his sword from his waist.
In a corner of the tavern, Crocodile watches the every move of the two pirates coldly.

“Two fools who don’t know their place.”

Saying this, two sand blades materialize in his hands and then swiftly fly towards the two men.

Splut

Instantly, the sand blades strike the chests of the two men, causing blood to spray out, and both collapse with white eyes.

Crocodile’s actions immediately draw the attention of everyone in the tavern.

“Isn’t that the government’s lapdog, one of the Seven Warlords, Crocodile?”

“How infuriating! A pirate traitor and the government’s lapdog, Crocodile! Get out of here! You’re not welcome!”

“That’s right! Get out of here, we don’t want you! Leave!” Upon seeing Crocodile, the pirates in the tavern immediately begin angrily shouting, driving him out.

Looking at the furious pirates in the tavern, Crocodile’s lips curl into a cold smile. “Hmph, a bunch of fools who don’t know their place. If you want to die so badly, then all of you can go to hell! Sandstorm!”

Boom! A massive sandstorm obliterates the entire tavern, and the pirates inside are turned into corpses under the sandstorm’s attack.

Crocodile, with a cold expression, steps out of the tavern’s ruins. “What a letdown.” He mutters quietly and then slowly disappears from the ruined tavern.

Such situations are happening in almost all the taverns in Loguetown. At this moment, in one particular tavern, a man in his forties with golden hair, wearing a wine-red suit, pink sunglasses, and a pink feather coat, is looking at all the pirates in the tavern killing each other, a cruel smile on his face.

As he twists his fingers, the pirates, terrified and in tears, use their weapons to attack their comrades or enemies.

Hehehe, “These guys are quite amusing. So weak, yet they dare to provoke the beasts.”

In another corner of the tavern, a handsome young man with golden hawk-like eyes sips his red wine, watching the man’s performance with interest.

In a small, inconspicuous tavern in a dark alley in Loguetown, a man wrapped in a cloak, hiding in the shadows, keeps drinking.

“Roger, what are you planning?” The man murmurs, sounding puzzled.
In Loguetown, Moria is swaggering down the streets.

He is quite interested in Roger’s hometown, the Pirate King. However, the more he explores, the more he finds this town ordinary.

“Hey, look, isn’t that Gecko Moria, the shadow of the Thriller Bark Pirates?!”

“Yes, such a big shot, why is he here? Is he also interested in Roger’s treasure?!”

“How is that possible? The Thriller Bark Pirates are so powerful, why would they be interested in the Pirate King’s treasure?”

“You fools! That’s the Pirate King’s treasure we’re talking about! With that treasure, you could become as rich as a kingdom!”

Moria hears the pirates discussing, and he bursts into laughter. Hehehe, “Hey, you bastards, I’m not interested in that treasure at all. It’s just the Pirate King’s treasure. It doesn’t excite us, the Thriller Bark Pirates.”

Moria says this with extreme pride and arrogance. However, no one present dares to refute him. But there’s no shortage of fools in this world.

“Hmph, the Thriller Bark is just a regional pirate crew. Roger is the Pirate King. What right do you have to belittle Captain Roger? Take back what you said!”

Undoubtedly, this is a young fanatic who idolizes Roger. Hehehe, “Kid, I’m not interested in arguing with you. If you’re so capable, go to the New World.”

“When you can survive in the New World and come to me, then I’ll take back what I said, how about that?” Moria smirks at the young fanatic, taunting him.

“Hmph! You wait! I’ll definitely set sail, survive in the New World, and come to you to make you take back your words!”

The young fanatic stares at Moria with utmost seriousness and determination, showing no fear of Moria’s formidable reputation and strength.

Moria looks at the relentless young fanatic and breaks into hearty laughter.

Hehehe, “Kid, I quite like you. Tell me, what’s your name?”

“I’m Abel! Remember my name well! Sooner or later, I’ll become a world-famous pirate, and I’ll come to you to make you take back your words!”

Abel clenches his fists tightly, staring at Moria with utmost seriousness.
Hehehe, “Kid, then I’ll be waiting for you. Work hard to become a great pirate.” Moria pats Abel on the head and then leaves directly.

“What an interesting kid! That spirit is quite impressive.” Moria smiles and slowly disappears from Abel’s view.

Hmph! “Just wait for me! Moria, as well as the Thriller Bark Pirates, I’ll definitely defeat you in the future!”

On top of a high tower in Loguetown, Lox sits calmly on the ground, silently watching everything happening below.

Heh, “Abel, your name is quite similar to Jin’s. You’re an interesting young man.”
