One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"In the Four Seas Tour, the Governor of the East Sea, Eric, has been sentenced to death for crimes such as rampant corruption, forming a clique for personal gain, deceiving his superiors and subordinates, being afraid of death, and oppressing the people!"

"The execution will be held publicly on the execution platform in seven days!"

A day later, this piece of news instantly set off a sensation in the East China Sea, causing a lot of discussion.

In the East China Sea, the navy is the only dominant force. Coupled with Eric's aggressive operations over the past decade, Eric has become almost a local emperor in the East China Sea.

Some people even only know Eric but not the Navy Headquarters.

Such a top military leader in the East China Sea, a reckless local tyrant, is about to be publicly executed in the East China Sea!

"Hey, have you heard that Eric is going to be executed? I heard it will be next week, a public execution."

"Is this true? Someone made this up to amuse people after getting drunk. This bastard said snow is black in the East China Sea, and no one dared to object. People like this should be executed."

"Yes, you see the nursery rhyme goes 'There was a man called Eric in the East China Sea, the geese flew by and the chickens left their eggs.' Besides, I heard that Eric could fly just by stepping, he must be a superman, right?"

"Don't worry about it, just go and take a look when the time comes."

Most people in the East China Sea were still skeptical about the discussions. After all, Eric's tyranny over more than a decade could not be wiped out in just one month.

Carsent was not worried about this. When these people actually saw Eric's death and the change in the East China Sea's policy, they would naturally understand that the evil Eric was indeed dead.

……

The East China Sea Governor's Prison, where Eric was imprisoned.

Logically speaking, this is Eric's lair that he has run for more than ten years. There may be unknown insiders, secret passages, etc. The safest way is to detain him on the Shield Eternal.

But Carsente was too lazy to go through so much trouble. He wanted to see who would dare to jailbreak with him in charge of the East China Sea Governor's Office.

At this moment, in the prison, Eric leaned against the wall with lifeless eyes.

On the third day of his detention, he knew that he had been abandoned by his headquarters.

"It's as expected. Why should I ask others to save me if I don't have any benefits..."

Eric laughed at himself, slowly closed his eyes and began to rest.

This ending, although cruel, was not beyond Eric's expectations.

After losing the position of Governor of East China Sea, he would be at the bottom among the major generals based on his own strength.

As for the secret passage and the back-up plan, Eric had naturally made preparations for them beforehand, but at this moment, Eric no longer planned to use them.

To him, and even to the faction behind him, Carsent wanting him dead was the same as the Navy Headquarters wanting him dead.

As the Governor-General of the East China Sea, he was also a genius who had once gone to the headquarters for further studies. He knew too well the power of the Navy Headquarters and the power wielded by a trusted admiral candidate.

Therefore, he never thought of using force to resist from the beginning to the end. His means of self-rescue have always been limited to political means. He wanted to use the process and the help of others to share the blame for his crimes.

And now, Carsente has made up his mind, and the faction behind him has fallen silent.

In this situation, everything will only end if you die.

Not to mention whether he had the ability to escape from under Carsent's nose, if he really could escape, that would be the beginning of chaos.

By then, his confidants and his family will inevitably be implicated, and he will be like a bait, luring the people behind him to take the hook one by one.

"Eric, tell me, as the governor of the East China Sea, why are you so depressed?"

"With your strength and achievements, if you don't have these crooked thoughts, no one will touch you in the East China Sea if you just rest on your laurels."

A voice interrupted Eric's thoughts. Eric opened his eyes and saw Carsent walking down the stairs and coming out of the cell.

"Xuan Ming, I don't have your strength, and my rights cannot be maintained by strength."

"Instead of asking this, it would be better to say that if I don't do this in the East China Sea, I won't be able to become the Governor of the East China Sea at all."

"They have worked so hard to push me to this position, how could I be satisfied with those superficial rights?"

"They give me the power and I take the risk. It's that simple."

"Even if it means risking my life and getting the skin of a tiger, I am willing to do it."

"Governor of the East China Sea, in the weakest sea of ​​the East China Sea, the Governor of the East China Sea has power that is unimaginable to ordinary people."

"As for material enjoyment, everything I could dream of was delivered to me the next day. It took more than ten years, and it was worth it!"

After figuring it out, Eric's voice became calmer, as if the person who died a few days later was not him.

"Over the years, many of our major generals and lieutenant generals have died in battle. Compared to them, I have already made a profit!"

He was just willing to accept defeat. Eric had already lost all his chips and was not even qualified to go back to the table and make a comeback.

But so what? How many people spend their entire lives without even having the qualifications to sit at the table and are just pawns of others.

"You have chosen this path, so you will have to bear the consequences yourself. You will be publicly executed in three days."

After listening to Eric's monologue, Carsent shook his head slightly and turned away.

People with different ideas cannot work together. He knew that he could not say no to Eric. From Eric's perspective, he thought it was worth covering up, so he did it.

……

Nothing unexpected happened and the public execution took place three days later.

There was still one hour before the execution was to begin, but the area around the execution platform was already surrounded by people.

People from all walks of life, including ordinary people, have gradually gathered together.

Some of them were filled with hatred and wanted to witness Eric's death with their own eyes. Some were skeptical and wanted to witness the news with their own eyes. Some didn't know who Eric was at all, but just saw others coming, so he followed them.

As time passed, more and more people gathered outside, surrounding the execution platform completely.

Finally, the execution time was approaching, and Eric, tied up, was pushed onto the execution platform.

Eric was wearing prison uniform, and his overall appearance was relatively neat. He looked at the huge crowd below with lifeless eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Perhaps he felt that for a governor of the East China Sea, such an ending was not a humiliation.

Or maybe he was mocking those people who were not even qualified to be pawns. If they really came to a fight, they would be no better than Governor Eric.

Or maybe he feels that more than ten years of enjoyment in exchange for one shot now is worth it.

"boom!"

The gun went off, blood spurted out, Eric's body slowly fell down, and cheers shook the sky below the execution platform.
