Chapter 193: Ten Years as Giant Guard!
Judge Emerson, currently responsible for judge training at the Judicial Talent Court under the Supreme Court.
Judge Jerome, currently responsible for judge promotions and assessments at the Judges' Court.
Presiding Judge Russell, currently responsible for supervising lower-level judges in the Four Seas and possessing the authority to mobilize Judicial Ships at the Judicial Circuit Court.
These three, enduring the furious stares of the two Giants, walked over dejectedly under the escort of Inspection Division Government Officials.
So many years had passed. These individuals, who were grassroots Officials back then, were now a presiding judge and two High-Ranking Officials. They never dreamed they would have such a day.
"Judge Emerson, Judge Jerome, Presiding Judge Russell, do you admit that twenty-six years ago you falsely claimed the World Government had captured Captain Dorry and Brogy of the Giant Warrior Pirates, thereby deceiving Mr. Oimo and Mr. Kashii into guarding Enies Lobby for one hundred years?"
Chief Grover questioned them righteously and sternly, adopting a completely businesslike posture of Justice.
"Yes."
"That's right."
After a moment of silence, the three nodded painfully and confessed. What else could they do? Were they supposed to say they were just following orders from their superiors back then?
But if they said that, their Families behind them would surely suffer together.
They were no longer newcomers to the Officialdom.
They knew very well that they had become discarded pawns thrown out. Since resistance was impossible, they could only accept reality. At least if they cooperated, only they themselves would be unlucky.
"You! You Bastards!!"
Mr. Kashii roared in anger, his voice so loud it transformed into a strong Wind that spread out, causing Division Chief Grover's expensive Suit and hair to flutter continuously.
"Damn it! You all deserve to die!" Mr. Oimo, holding his Kanabo, was also full of rage.
Although for the Giant Race, who have a lifespan of three hundred years, the concept of twenty-six years is equivalent to about nine years for Humans, they didn't feel it was particularly long.
But they were still very angry.
Or rather, compared to the twenty-six years wasted Time, these members of the Giant Race were actually more concerned about being deceived.
"Mr. Oimo, Mr. Kashii, given their status as Judges, according to the rules, the Judiciary cannot be the Referee. Among them, Judge Emerson and Judge Jerome will be handled by our Inspection Division."
"But Presiding Judge Russell is the presiding judge of the Judicial Circuit Court and a second-tier High-Ranking Official, so he must be handed over to the Grand Committee under the Supreme Executive Committee."
Division Chief Grover's words once again attracted the Giants' attention.
"Then how will you deal with them?" Mr. Kashii asked in a deep voice, suppressing his anger. Mr. Oimo beside him also stared intently at this Division Chief who seemed to possess considerable Authority.
"Judge Emerson and Judge Jerome, by the Authority of the Division Chief of the Inspection Division, I declare their Judge qualifications revoked and sentence them to the Death Penalty!"
Division Chief Grover spoke the words "Death Penalty" without hesitation, causing Judge Emerson and Judge Jerome before him to tremble all over, their lowered faces filled with Despair.
"Furthermore, the Execution is immediate!"
As soon as his voice fell, before Mr. Kashii and Mr. Oimo could React, they saw the Inspection Division Officials beside the two men pull out a Pistol directly from their inner jacket pockets.
[Bang! Bang!]
After two crisp gunshots, Judge Emerson and Judge Jerome's Heads were instantly pierced, leaving everyone present stunned.
Beside them.
Although Presiding Judge Russell knew he wouldn't die here, he still couldn't Control his Body from trembling violently in fear. Large patches of cold sweat had already seeped from his head and back.
"This... this..."
Mr. Kashii and Mr. Oimo looked at the Corpses lying in the Pool of Blood, speechless for a long time. It wasn't that they were scared by the dead, but they hadn't expected them to die so quickly.
"On their behalf, I express our most sincere apologies to the two of you for being deceived. However, I also sincerely hope that you will not hold resentment towards the World Government because of this, and even more so, that this will not affect the friendship between us and the Giant Race."
Division Chief Grover said in a deep voice, raising his head.
The friendship between the World Government and the Giant Race he spoke of referred to the friendship formed seventy-four years ago when four members of the Giant Race who caused great trouble were saved by Sister Carmel just before their Execution by Marine Headquarters.
Since then, Sister Carmel established the 'House of Lambs' in the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf, a place that takes in homeless Children regardless of Race or Identity.
Using this as a Stronghold, she continuously supplied Marine Headquarters with Giant Warriors, which is the so-called Giant Unit.
Therefore, the relationship between the World Government and the Giant Race was indeed quite good. Although 'Elbaf' is not affiliated with the World Government, who can blame them when their Strength is sufficient? Naturally, they don't need to go to the East Blue for Bridge Building.
Mr. Kashii and Mr. Oimo were naturally aware of this, because those four captured members of the Giant Race were actually also Members of their Giant Warrior Pirates.
Now seeing Division Chief Grover's Attitude so sincere, the two quickly waved their hands and said, "Of course, of course, there are bad people among our Giant Race too, we can understand that, we won't blame it on you!"
Although the Giant Race's personality is generally rough and bold, it's interesting that, overall, they are peaceful.
Yes.
Truly peaceful individuals, meaning they like to engage in Combat anytime and anywhere, but don't like to casually start Wars. So, you could also say the Giant Race is very gentle!
"That's great. It's just, as I said before, we need to take Presiding Judge Russell with us, but I can guarantee his fate won't be good. There's an eighty percent chance he'll be imprisoned in 'Impel Down' Fortress!" Division Chief Grover said.
"Alright, we trust you!"
Mr. Kashii and Mr. Oimo exchanged glances and nodded. Finally, smiles appeared on their faces.
"Oh, right."
Just as the few Man in Black were cleaning up the two Corpses, Division Chief Grover seemed to remember something and said, "According to our Intelligence, Captain Dorry and Captain Brogy are currently still dueling on 'Little Garden'. After the two of you leave here, you must be planning to go meet them, right?"
"That's right!"
"We definitely need to see them!" The two Giants nodded.
"Excellent. Then could I trouble the two of you with something?" Division Chief Grover asked amiably, striking while the iron was hot.
"Go ahead, consider it thanks for telling us the Truth!"
Mr. Kashii patted his chest and laughed heartily. In their opinion, the World Government was willing to reveal the facts and Sanction the culprits, which is equivalent to saving them the next seventy-four years of Time.
This was definitely a favor!
"It's like this, a distinguished World Noble will be Travel-ing on a long journey soon. Would it be possible to ask the two of you to serve as Guard for a period?"
Hearing it was this kind of Matter, Mr. Kashii hesitated and subconsciously looked at Mr. Oimo beside him, asking, "What do you think?"
The latter thought for a moment and said, "Serving as Guard is fine, but will this Conflict with us going to see the Captains?"
"It won't. Because that World Noble also expressed a desire to meet the two Captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates from back then, so it's actually along the way."
Division Chief Grover briefly explained. With that, Mr. Oimo felt relieved and smiled at Mr. Kashii, "Since that's the case, let's agree. How about ten years? Serving as his Guard for ten years would be repaying the favor!"
"Alright, that's only right!"
Mr. Kashii nodded heavily, stood up, and hoisted his great axe onto his shoulder. He laughed heartily at the short Division Chief on the ground, "We'll guarantee the personal safety of that World Noble for ten years!"
