Chapter 131 The Gate of Justice?
Several people turned around to look. They all knew this man, and Smoker gritted his teeth.
"It's that guy, the King of Evil Government. Why is he still in the headquarters?" Smoker said to himself.
Vic was also a little surprised. This guy must be a dangerous person. Why was he kept in the headquarters for so long?
"Teacher, what's going on?" After Zefa approached, Vic pointed at Pizarro who had a dejected look on his face and said.
"This guy is very dangerous. Without the right person to escort him to Impel Down, we're afraid something might happen on the way. He's the same mythical beast species as Kaido. Sakaski and Kuzan both went directly to the New World, so there's no reliable person to escort him. Knowing that we were going to set sail this time, Sengoku gave this task to us. With you and I here, it's absolutely foolproof!" Zephyr explained.
Vic nodded. Pizarro had been wearing seastone handcuffs for such a long time that he was in a bad mood. When he met his enemy who had captured him, he had no mood to say harsh words.
"Let's go, get on the ship and set off! Smoker and Tina must not slack off in their training!" Zefa said to his students from the previous class.
After saying that, he took the soldiers escorting Pizarro onto the boat, and Smoker and Tina quickly agreed.
"Smoker, Tina, we are leaving too. Take care of yourselves! This is a letter to an intelligence agent in Shampoo. The address is on it. Please deliver it to me when you are free." Vic also greeted the two of them, and then handed a letter to Smoker.
"Well, I'll deliver it."
"Smoker, Tina, goodbye!" The two women also said goodbye.
"Well, goodbye!" Tina was a little sad. There were not many female soldiers in the navy, and even fewer who could come to the headquarters. She had few friends before, mostly admirers. Now her friends were leaving, and she didn't know when they would meet again. She was really reluctant.
Smoker was much more calm. He didn't think too much about it and just thought about digging out the wine later.
Vic took the two women onto the warship. The deck of the warship was indeed paved with steel plates. Vic looked back at the busy port and the iconic building, the headquarters building, and felt a little emotional. He had been in this world for seven years and had acquired some self-protection abilities, which was a small step towards freedom. Rebecca had also embarked on the path of becoming a strong person. Will things be better in the future?
The warship left the port. Vic waved to Smoker and Tina who had not left yet, and then they went farther and farther away under the sunlight.
This time, we went to the Undersea Prison through the World Government’s special passage, the Gate of Justice.
There are three Gates of Justice, and there is a whirlpool current in the middle of the three Gates of Justice. Ships entering the current can reach the three major institutions of the World Government faster.
The Gate of Justice was very close to the headquarters, and the warship arrived in front of the gate very quickly. The upper part of the Gate of Justice could not be seen clearly as it was hidden in the clouds. The students were amazed at the magnificent Gate of Justice.
"Is this the Gate of Justice? It's huge!"
"How was this built? It's unimaginable!"
"I can't see the top at a glance. It can't be as high as the Red Earth Continent, right?"
The warship was communicating with the soldiers guarding the Gate of Justice about opening the gate. Vic was also looking at the tall Gate of Justice, somewhat doubting whether this was something that could be done by human power.
With Zefa there, the communication was quickly completed and the Gate of Justice was slowly opening. Although it was only opened a crack, it was enough for warships to enter and exit.
After the warship entered, its speed increased, and it slid diagonally across the Gate of Justice, riding on the rotating current and moving forward rapidly.
"Teacher, where is our destination this time?" Vic asked Zefa.
"My first stop is Water City, which is a shipbuilding destination and has many pirates coming and going. It will be more effective to train there!" Zefa told Vic the destination directly. This was originally not something that could be told. Usually only the highest commander on the warship knew the destination. If other people knew, they were afraid of accidents, but he was reassured by Vic's words.
"The Water City? Tom and his two disciples should still be researching the sea train. It's a pity that this magical sea train hasn't appeared yet. If it did, I could take Rebecca and Wendy to take a ride. It would be a great experience!"
"It is said that Water City is the island where Pluto was built. The construction drawings are still in Tom's hands. Should we take it? It will be destroyed by Franky later anyway. It might as well take it. Should we hand it over to the World Government? That's impossible. They are already a tyrannical dictator who can take whatever they want from the world. If Pluto is here too, the world will be in a worse situation!" Vic thought to himself.
"Behind the next Gate of Justice is the Judiciary Island. We will skip it and contact in advance to open the gate when we reach Impel Down, otherwise we will have to go back to the headquarters." Zefa said to the liaison officer next to him.
The whirlpools in the three Gates of Justice are heading in the same direction, from the Naval Headquarters to Judicial Island, then to Impel Down, and finally back to the Naval Headquarters.
Therefore, if you want to go to Impel Down from the headquarters, you must pass through the Judicial Island. Behind the Gate of Justice in Impel Down is the Calm Belt. If you want to bypass the Gate of Justice and go directly to Impel Down, it is not impossible, but the possibility is very small. You must enter from the Calm Belt.
The Empress took King Luffy to Impel Down through the Calm Belt, relying on a boat pulled by two giant snakes.
One problem with the doldrums is that boats have no power and have to rely on human power to row, or have a powered outer ship. The second problem is that the doldrums are home to many giant sea kings, which makes them very dangerous.
Who would go to Impel Down for no reason? That’s why only one Golden Lion has managed to escape from prison in all these years. He did it by using the flying ability of the Float-Float Fruit. If someone else had done it, the result would have been very different.
Soon, a huge Gate of Justice appeared in front of the warship. The students were amazed again. The swirling current hit the Gate of Justice and bounced back. The warship also turned sixty degrees following the current and continued to sail quickly.
"Vic, this is amazing, how did you do this?" Rebecca said with a look of curiosity.
"I guess there is a huge whirlpool in the middle of this sea area, which is always spinning. The Navy Headquarters should have been established first, and then this whirlpool also flowed through the Judicial Island.
The World Government wanted to take advantage of this terrain, and then the World Government took advantage of the convenience of this whirlpool and the safety of the Calm Belt to build Impel Down and Enies Hall. The three places form a right triangle relationship.
With the blocking of the Gate of Justice, the vortex current can circulate, and as long as the Gate of Justice is opened, the warships can follow the seawater flowing out of the Gate of Justice into these three places. "Vic roughly explained based on the information he knew.
This is the principle, but as for the reasons and sequence, it is all pure speculation. It is estimated that this was built seven or eight hundred years ago, and it is now impossible to verify. It is estimated that only the top leaders of the world government know it.
"What a great project!" Rebecca exclaimed.
"I don't know whether it is great or not, but it is indeed a big project!" Vic replied.
He thought of the bridge that had been built for more than 700 years. An entire country was dragged into building the bridge. Generations after generations, they migrated while building it. What kind of huge mistake did this country make? This is also a huge project, but can you say it is a great project? The Gate of Justice, etc., who knows if it is just or not!
This world is far more cruel than it seems. Can the World Government really not eliminate all pirates? Or if there are no pirates, can they not collect money and do all kinds of dirty things in the name of catching pirates?
This is what is called "raising the enemy to protect oneself", right? I have been trying to find a way to deal with the pirates to protect everyone, so of course you have to pay something, right? In order to facilitate our actions, we have some privileges, isn't it too much? We have been fighting pirates for so many years, can't we Celestial Dragons enjoy ourselves? It's not too much to buy some people of different races as slaves, right?
Many people in the navy may really want to fight pirates, but the navy is just a knife of the World Government. They can kill whoever the World Government tells them to. If they don't, who will give you the funding? You want to do it yourself? Do you think our World Government only has the navy? You can try to see if we can destroy you? You want to share our cake? That is the number one enemy. I will put the pirates aside for now.
So Wick really doesn't have any good feelings towards the World Government. There will be huge changes in the future, and he wants to see if he can control this huge organization, the Navy. He knows that at that time there will be no hope at his age, but wouldn't it be better to push one of his own people up, such as Aokiji? Will Blade Eater be surprised then?
Vic thought of a lot of things and felt a little bored. He suddenly lost interest in watching. He just sat cross-legged and meditated to practice his Observation Haki.
