One Piece: God Killer

"If Tom is pardoned, my plan will be ruined!" Spandam was extremely angry, as if he saw that the "great merit" that was about to be obtained disappeared without a trace.

The "conservative" old judge flipped through the "code" in front of him, which recorded numerous precedents and decrees issued by the world government.

"The only crime that cannot be exempted is the offense against the 'world nobility'," the judge simply explained the clause regarding the protection rights of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Perhaps they did not expect that the old friend of the Pirate King would seek protection under the Seven Warlords of the Sea, perhaps it was too long ago that the World Government has forgotten, or perhaps they do not really care about this so-called "crime" at all. The World Government did not stipulate that the Seven Warlords of the Sea cannot protect criminals related to the Pirate King.

"As for the rest of the crimes, as long as they were committed before you joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you will be exempt from prosecution!"

This excellent and meticulous "book-teller" said slowly but firmly: "I declare that Tom's merit in building the 'Sea Train' for the Seven Water City can offset the crime of attacking the judicial ship. As for the crime of assisting the Pirate King, it will be written off because he has joined the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'. Therefore, from now on..."

"It's fake!" Spandam once again interrupted the judge's verdict, "Joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea is nothing more than the result of this fishman's nonsense!"

He walked up to the judge and threatened in a low voice, "This matter involves the Five Elders, you'd better not meddle in it!"

The judge frowned, but he did not give in. As a "legal" scholar, he firmly believed that no matter whether the matter involved the Five Elders or the Six Elders, as long as there were written provisions in the law, the judgment must be made in accordance with the law.

However, we still have to give face to the Five Elders.

The judge banged the gavel and asked, "Tom, do you have any evidence to prove what you just said?"

"Building the sea train will offset one crime" was the agreement between the two of them, so there was no need to prove it. However, joining the Shichibukai was not something that could be achieved just by Tom's words.

"Den Den Mushi!" Iceberg said loudly, "I can use the Den Den Mushi in my right pocket to call Master Proficient's Den Den Mushi!"

He was very sure of this because not long ago, he had used this Den Den Mushi to talk to Proficient and informed him that the Sea Train had been opened and Mr. Tom would soon be acquitted.

But when the judge walked up to Bingshan and opened his pocket, there was no Den Den Mushi inside.

Some were just a slimy mass of mollusk carcasses.

Apparently, in the chaos just now, the iceberg hit somewhere and crushed the poor Den Den Mushi into a pulp.

"Haha!" Spandam laughed exaggeratedly, pinching his waist. "Judge, these guys are not subordinates of the Seven Warlords of the Sea at all. Please arrest the thugs from Tom's Studio immediately!"

Seeing Bingshan's ugly expression, Spandam laughed particularly happily. He seemed to see the Pluto blueprint waving at him again.

These days, he has been secretly investigating the "Pluto Design" in the Seven Waters, and finally locked on the most suspicious object - Tom's studio. He was even surprised to find that Tom himself had a close relationship with the late former Pirate King Roger.

Spandam wanted to use this as an excuse to force out the whereabouts of Pluto.

Unexpectedly, Tom himself was "obstinate" and even said that he would soon be acquitted.

Spandam then planned to use the warship built by Tom's disciple Fram to attack the judicial ship and put the blame on Tom's studio.

His plan was about to succeed.

"Please wait a moment!" A group of craftsmen pushed aside the navy soldiers surrounding Tom and rushed to Spandam. "We can prove that Mr. Tom is indeed a subordinate of Lord Profek, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

They came from Wano Country and were ordered by Prophik to help Master Tom build the sea train and learn related technologies.

At the beginning, the two sides had a simple cooperative relationship. But gradually, they were infected by Tom's personality charm and the atmosphere of Tom's studio, and gradually became friends with each other.

When Tom was in trouble, they immediately came to help testify.

"Don't come over here..." Tom panted, trying to drive the craftsmen from Wano Country away. Due to the effect of the anesthetic, Tom was already somewhat unconscious.

He had given up hope of getting away with it, and instead adopted his original backup strategy, just hoping not to implicate more people.

But the craftsmen rushed forward regardless, formed a circle to protect Tom, and confronted the navy.

"Humph!"

Spandam walked up to the craftsmen with a haughty look on his face. "It's just a bunch of craftsmen talking nonsense. How dare a country that's not even a member of the World Government to make decisions here?!"

"These guys are Tom's accomplices, arrest them all!"

The sailors seemed a little hesitant.

It is true that they are responsible for protecting Spandam's safety, but Spandam is not their superior. Moreover, there is an old judge here, and his position may not be inferior to Spandam.

"What are you still standing there for?!" Spandine roared, "Hurry up..."

As he was speaking, Spandam suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. His voice stopped abruptly, and the expression on his face quickly froze. The World Government official turned his head like a clockwork puppet and looked in the direction of the port.

A huge ship slowly sailed into the harbor. The tall castle blocked the sunlight, and the wide hull almost occupied the space where three or five ships were usually moored. Against its backdrop, the originally incomparably tall judicial ship looked very small.

The most surprising thing is that the hull of this ship is made up of a giant snail. Rather than being a ship, it is more like a giant marine creature with a castle on its back and people living in the castle.

The black muzzles of the guns on the edge of the fortress showed that this was undoubtedly a war machine.

Even though the Seven Water Capital is a city famous for its shipbuilding industry, it has never seen such a ship.

"Monster! Monster!"

The crowds at the port fled in all directions, and even the Navy and World Government agents were on edge. If a guy like this opened fire, the consequences would be disastrous.

Fram was even more stunned. He had loved warships since he was a child, and he was like an avid fan. He ignored the shackles on his hands and exclaimed loudly: "This is simply perfect art. I must make a more perfect ship than this in the future!"

Perhaps in the future Fram will be able to easily build more powerful warships, but now, Germa's war machines have brought him a huge shock.

"The Dawn Flag! What's that one next to it?"

"It's the Shichibukai!"

"It's Profek!"
