General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 68 Suicide
Early the next morning, Rorschach, who was hungover from drinking with Kuzan yesterday, was awakened by a soldier's knock on the door.

When he rubbed his groggy head and opened the door, he heard news that shocked him.

After his arrest, Prince Ilya, who was temporarily imprisoned in Branch 177 Prison, committed suicide.

Hearing that Ilya committed suicide, Rorschach could hardly help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Isn't this great news?

If he hadn't been seriously injured that day, Rorschach couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't have killed Ilya on the spot in King Prince City.

For those criminals with high intelligence and no bottom line, Rorschach really didn't want to see them enter Impel Down.

People like Ilya are much more dangerous than some pirates with bounties of over [-] million, or even hundreds of millions.

According to Kuzan, if Ilya enters Impel Down City, he may be treated as a crime of national annihilation and imprisoned in the legendary infinite hell.

That is the sixth floor of Impel City.

Because he committed the same crime as Pizarro, the evil pirate king.

If this kind of person goes to Xiongcheng to gain enlightenment in a dragon field, and comes out again whenever he has the opportunity, he will definitely turn the world upside down.

Just like the big pirates released by Luffy and Blackbeard in the comics.

But since I already knew in advance, something bad like that might happen in the future.

Then we will try our best to stop it.

When Rorschach had a smile on his face and followed the soldiers who came to report to the branch prison, the smile on his face disappeared again.

The reason was Ilya's attempted suicide.

"Really, it makes me happy in vain."

Rorschach pouted.

Kuzan happened to be walking from a distance with Grus. Hearing Rorschach's muttering, he couldn't help but glance at Grus next to him.

The upper half of Grus's face was obscured by curly hair, and the lower half of his face had no expression.

Seeing Kuzan approaching, Rorschach said hello, "Good morning, Uncle Kuzan."

Kuzan couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard Rorschach's name.

This was the first time he heard someone call him uncle.

As one of the highest combat forces in the Navy Headquarters, no matter where he goes, he gets everyone's awe-inspiring looks and honorifics.

Except for a few people at the Navy Headquarters, few people greeted him so casually.

However, Kuzan liked this title very much.

But his expression at this time seemed more formal.

"Rorschach, I asked you to come here because I have something to ask of you."

Luo Xia was startled, "Please ask me? Uncle Kuzan, if you have anything to do, just give me direct instructions. You are a general."

Kuzan shook his head, "It's not about military affairs."

He got straight to the point and pointed at the prison entrance, "Maybe you don't know, but Ilya has always wanted to see you. During the seven days when you went to sea to kill pirates, he asked to see you every day."

"I have nothing to say to him."

Rorschach's expression turned cold.

He didn't know why Elijah wanted to see him so persistently.

But Rorschach didn't want to see Ilya's face again.

He just wanted to hold down that face and smash it into the wall.

Seeing the expression on Rorschach's face, Kuzan had already expected it.

He sighed, "That's why I'm asking you to agree to his request and go meet him."

Before Rorschach could ask, Kuzan revealed the specific reason.

It turns out that the large amount of money and materials that Ilya has collected over the years, as well as the huge amount of heavenly gold that has been prepared and needs to be handed over this year, have not been found yet.

It is said that the heavenly gold alone is as high as 160 billion beli!
This is three times the share of heavenly gold prepared by Elijah in order to establish a pirate nation.This huge wealth, no matter which sea area it is placed in, is an astronomical figure.

You know, the few sea emperors in the New World only offer bounties of 50 billion beli.

The heavenly gold prepared by Ilya can buy the heads of several sea emperors.

If you can buy it.

For this huge sum of money, the government ship from Marigioa is still stuck in Qianyan Town.

As for the navy of branch 177, they want to find this huge wealth, not because they want to get rid of it.

But now the Prince Kingdom is in urgent need of a large amount of money for disaster relief.

Broken homes and families need to be rebuilt.

Tens of thousands of people are displaced, and large amounts of food are consumed every day.

There are also losses in neighboring countries that need to be compensated.

These require a lot of money.

Of course, the navy in the North Sea also needs to leave part of it to continue to help these refugees in the future.

"Ilya said that after meeting you, he will tell you the whereabouts of the money." Kuzan scratched his head and looked at Rorschach with some embarrassment, "So, please, this is very important."

"That's right. Then I'll go see him and see what he wants to do."

Rorschach walked into the underground prison of Branch 177 alone.

The underground environment was a bit dark, but overall, the cell floor was quite clean and not filled with all kinds of unpleasant odors as Rorschach expected.

Maybe it's because pirates aren't usually imprisoned here.

Because the pirates in the North Sea are basically extremely vicious people, and when they encounter the navy, they often end up life and death.

Even if they are arrested, most of them will be thrown to Paya Island because they have committed too many crimes.

After walking down the short stairs and walking all the way out of the deepest cell, Rorschach saw Ilya's feminine and handsome face again.

"You came."

Seeing Rorschach appear, Ilya, who was pale and had several new bandaging marks on his body, showed a gentle smile.

There was no trace of hostility or anger.

"What do you want to say?"

Rorschach sat directly on the floor, regardless of whether it was dirty or not.

The two just looked at each other through a fence gate.

"Just wanted to have a casual chat before leaving this boring world."

Ilya's eyes seemed to be looking into the distance through Rorschach's body.

"A noble like you, who is so aloof and doesn't care about other people's lives, aren't you afraid of death?"

Rorschach made no secret and looked at Elijah in the cell with cold eyes.

There is definitely a monster in human skin here, and his death will only be good for the world.

Seeing the coldness in Rorschach's eyes, Ilya smiled, "I have got the answer I want. Life and death don't matter to me anymore. Maybe you can regard it as the ultimate dream you pursue throughout your life. When it After realizing it, won’t your life be complete? It doesn’t matter whether you live or die next.”

Rorschach couldn't understand.

"Is that empty question that important to you? Important enough that you would sacrifice your own country to find the so-called answer? Do you know how many people you have killed?"

The smile on Elijah's face disappeared and he sighed, a trace of reminiscence appeared on his gloomy face.

"It's really important to me. In fact, it's not just me, it's also important to you and the world."

"Didn't your navy detect that the revolutionary army had visited the Kingdom of Prince?"

"Actually... I am a member of the revolutionary army myself."
