Chapter 64, Operation Execution Platform: The Ingenious Use of Recording Scenery (Read on!)

[The Grand Line, the Calm Belt.]

A sea monster poked its head out of the water, staring intently at a white line that was steadily approaching in the distance.

After the white line drew closer, it also submerged into the sea, opened its mouth wide, and sped away.

A few seconds later, with a loud bang, the sea king floated to the surface, belly up.

A handsome, muscular old man jumped onto its belly; it was Rayleigh, after separating from Larry and the Kuja Pirates.

In the night in Roggetown, the bright moon hangs high, its cool light spilling like mercury, enveloping this "town of beginnings and endings" in a tranquil silver glow.

The daytime hustle and bustle has long since dissipated, leaving only the whisper of the sea breeze through the empty streets and the rhythmic sound of waves from the distant pier.

At the edge of the central square, under an inconspicuous shadowy wall, three heads cautiously peeked out like well-trained scouts, lined up neatly, and all looked toward the lone wooden platform standing in the center of the square.

At the top is Morsen, in the middle is Robin, and at the bottom is Bakala.

"Huh? There's really not much people here? There's only one Marine, and he's dozing off over there." Bakara lowered her voice, a hint of smugness in her tone.

Robin tilted his head slightly: "After all, their main role during the day is just to maintain order, and it's more symbolic."

“Once there are no tourists at night, there is naturally no need for too many people to guard it. Leaving one person on duty is already a sign of the Navy’s respect for this ‘historical landmark’.”

She paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Besides us, probably no one else will be interested in this old platform."

“Of course,” Bakara said, her eyes narrowing with a mischievous glint, “but things might change after tonight.”

"When the sun rises tomorrow, everyone will find that the execution platform has vanished... Haha, just imagine how interesting that scene will be!"

"The entire Loguetown, no, the entire East Blue, and even the Marine Headquarters, must be absolutely stunned!"

"In any case, the laxity in guard is a good thing for us," Morsen said softly, his gaze fixed on the dozing naval soldier. "Plan remains the same, Robin, it's up to you."

“Understood.” Robin’s lips curled slightly, and he crossed his arms elegantly in front of his chest as he whispered, “The Hundred Flowers Eye Patch.”

Without a sound, two fair and slender female arms "grew" out of thin air from the shoulders of the sleeping naval soldier.

These two arms covered the navy soldier's tightly closed eyes, acting as an absolutely reliable "artificial eye patch".

“Done,” Robin said softly.

"Beautiful!" Baccarat murmured in praise.

"Let's go." Mo Sen waved his hand, and the three of them, like raccoons in the night, quickly and lightly made their way towards the execution platform.

A moment later, the three of them arrived safely at the foot of the execution platform and stood in the shadow of the wooden building that had ushered in the Great Pirate Era.

Looking up, the execution platform appears even taller and more weathered under the moonlight. The wood grain is clearly visible in the moonlight, and the heavy sense of history, which is a mixture of ending, beginning, bloodshed and dreams, is especially strong in the quiet night.

"It feels... completely different from when I saw it during the day," Bakala muttered softly, tilting her head back.

“Without the hustle and bustle of crowds and the ‘tourist’ feel under the sunlight, only its own existence and historical weight remain.” Robin responded softly, as an archaeologist and historian, she was more acutely aware of this atmosphere.

"Hey, since we're already here, let's go up and take a look!" Bakala suddenly became interested and, like a nimble cat, climbed up in no time, using both hands and feet.

She stood on high ground, hands on her hips, the night breeze ruffling her red hair. She took a deep breath of the cool sea air, then excitedly waved down and whispered, "Come on up! The view from up here is amazing! You can see the entire town at night!"

Mosen and Robin became interested upon hearing this and easily climbed up.

When they stood atop the execution platform, their view suddenly opened up.

The moonlight, like a soft veil, covered the sleeping town of Rogge at our feet.

The rooftops of the rows of houses gleamed with a cool light, and the winding streets resembled silver streams under the moonlight.

In the distance, the ships moored in the harbor are reduced to blurry silhouettes, and further still, the vast, dark sea shimmers under the moonlight.

"So beautiful..." Robin murmured.

Even though she was well-traveled and knowledgeable, standing in this special place and looking down at this view still stirred up emotions in her heart.

Mosen was also moved by the scene. He raised his right hand, stretched out his thumb and forefinger, and made a "frame" gesture to "frame" this unique picture that was interwoven with moonlight, town, sea and history.

Then, with a slight thought, he silently and effortlessly transformed the night scene before him into a landscape sticker with moonlight and starlight flowing along its edges, which gently floated into his palm.

[Loguetown Moonlit Night - Status: A view collected atop Roger's Execution Platform in Gol D. (Can be released for an immersive experience of moonlight, breeze, town nightscape, and the sound of distant ocean waves.)]

Robin and Bakura both witnessed this amazing scene. Bakura, especially curious, leaned closer and exclaimed, "Wow! Captain, you can 'collect' scenery?"

"A little trick I recently figured out," Mosen said with a smile, playing with the landscape stickers in his hand.

“When I travel in the past, I often see some breathtaking scenery. At that time, I always thought that it would be great if the scene I saw could be preserved exactly as it was, so that I could relive it at any time.”

"Using a video Den Den Mushi or a camera always feels like it lacks that 'immersive feeling'; the colors, light, and atmosphere are always somewhat distorted."

As he spoke, he showed them the stickers: "Now it's great. My 'collection' can capture not only the image, but also the 'state' of that moment."

"The feeling of light, color, temperature, sound, and even the movement of air. When you release it, it's like completely recreating that 'moment,' making you feel as if you're right there in it again."

"This can probably be considered... an immersive 'holographic recording' without color distortion."

"That's amazing!" Bakara's eyes lit up. "Now we can 'collect' anything fun or interesting that we see! That's so much more sophisticated than just taking pictures!"

Robin nodded thoughtfully: "This is indeed a unique way of recording things, as the 'original appearance' and 'atmosphere' of many things are inherently difficult to preserve."

Mo Sen smiled, and with a thought, the illusory image of the faintly glowing "Collection Guide" reappeared.

The book opened, silently pointing at the three of them standing side by side atop the execution platform, bathed in moonlight.

Chapter 65, An Unexpected Interlude: The Cat Thief Who Shifts the Blame (Read on to follow!)

“Come on, let’s take a picture as a souvenir.” Mosen smiled at Robin and Bakala, “This is a unique view and experience.”

The illusory image of the illustration flashed, and the three people's postures, expressions, the moonlight and execution platform in the background, as well as the subtle atmosphere in the air, were instantly "frozen" into a new sticker, which fell into Morsen's hand.

[Loguetown Night View - Status: A team moment captured atop Gol D. Roger's Execution Platform. (Can be released to recreate the moonlight, sea breeze, three figures, and subtle emotions of this moment.)]

Bakara got playful and pulled Robin into all sorts of poses, from hands on hips gazing into the distance to back-to-back poses, and even pretending to be executed.

However, Robin politely declined the offer, as she felt ashamed.

However, in the end, Morsen did not disappoint Bakara. The two of them "executed" each other, and even cooperated in a question-and-answer session, resulting in a classic declaration that made Robin cover her face in helplessness.

Just as the group was having a great time, a commotion suddenly broke out not far away.

"Fire! Fire at the dock!"

"Colonel Smoker! Colonel Smoker has led his men over there!"

Suddenly, a commotion and shouts erupted from the direction of the once quiet port. Then, the flames grew larger and larger, and thick smoke billowed up, visible even from a distance.

The commotion at the distant docks instantly shattered the peace of the night in Loguetown. The three men on the execution platform exchanged a glance and immediately jumped off.

Almost simultaneously, the naval soldier who had been blindfolded by Robin also showed signs of waking up amidst the surrounding noise.

Robin's eyes flashed, and he elegantly clasped his hands together: "A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom: Sleep!"

A pale arm appeared beside the soldier's neck, fingers together, and tapped him lightly on the back of the neck.

The soldier's body stiffened, then went completely limp, falling into an even deeper sleep.

“It’s done,” Robin said calmly in a low voice.

At the same time, Morsen's right hand was firmly placed on the execution platform, and he fully activated his Devil Fruit power!

hum!

An invisible ripple spread out.

"collect!"

The moment Mosen's low shout fell, the enormous wooden execution platform that had witnessed the fall of the Pirate King and symbolized the beginning of a new era vanished into thin air.

The area was left with only bare ground, and the moonlight poured down without obstruction, illuminating the area in a silvery white, making it feel strangely empty.

"It's done!" Bakara clenched her fist and whispered excitedly.

Just then, a short, surprised exclamation came from the shadows of the street at the edge of the square.

"Wh...what?!"

Mo Sen and his two companions looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl with short orange hair stop at the corner. Her wide, staring eyes were filled with surprise and confusion.

"What did I just see? How could such a big wooden platform just vanish in a flash? Am I dreaming?!" A jumble of thoughts filled Nami's mind.

However, her lapse lasted less than a second, and she quickly snapped back to reality as the noise from behind drew closer.

"You brat! Stop right there! Put down my treasure!"

"Kill her! How dare she steal our things!"

The chaotic footsteps and shouts drew rapidly closer, and in a flash, a brilliant plan quickly took shape!

"The ship, Captain!" Nami shouted suddenly toward Morsen and the other two. Her voice seemed to be split due to tension, but her tone was full of relief that she had finally fulfilled her mission.

"I brought everything you asked for! It's all here!"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly swung her arm and threw the seemingly heavy cloth bag toward Mo Sen's feet.

"Thump!" The cloth bag landed with a dull thud, rolling twice on the ground, indicating its considerable weight.

"Captain? Accomplices?!" The seven or eight fierce-looking pirates who had caught up stopped in their tracks and looked in the direction of the bag Nami had thrown out. Sure enough, they saw a man standing there with two women.

"Damn it! They're all in cahoots! How dare they steal from our 'Mad Axe' Pirate Crew!"

"Brothers, chop them up! Kill this pretty boy captain! Get our treasure back!"

The pirate leader, whose attention had been perfectly diverted, shouted and brandished his axe, leading his men in a fierce charge towards Mosen and his companions!

"Tsk, there's trouble coming knocking on our door." Bakara curled her lip, but there was no fear on her face; on the contrary, she was eager to try.

Mosen watched the howling mobs charging towards him, then glanced at the orange-haired girl who had taken the opportunity to retreat into the shadows and was now nervously and curiously peering out to observe the situation. A slight smile appeared on his lips.

Unexpectedly, he ran into an "acquaintance" as soon as he arrived in Donghai, which was a pleasant surprise for Mo Sen.

"Let's finish this quickly," Mo Sen said softly, and then he moved.

What followed... was less of a battle and more of an efficient and somewhat artistic "cleanup."

Mosen didn't even draw his sword; his figure blurred into several afterimages in the moonlight, and each pause caused a pirate to groan and fall to the ground.

Robin clasped her hands together, and countless arms instantly "bloomed" on the pirates rushing towards her, easily subduing them as if they were dolls, and even stacking them neatly.
