The Super Dimension Pirates in One Piece.

Chapter 840: Labor Reform
"Let me go!" Luffy, who was tied up, was carried out of the prison door by two guards, and he began to struggle desperately.

"and many more!"

Nami grabbed the railing with both hands, leaned her head out and asked, "Where are you taking Luffy?"

"Don't worry." Dorag turned around and said, "I won't hurt my own son."

"...It's hard to say." Zoro's eyes met with Dragon's and he said, "You just said that you don't want to be enemies with your blood relatives anymore... What happened to 'Navy Hero' Garp?"

"Grandpa?" Luffy, who was struggling desperately, suddenly stopped and looked at Dragon's back.

Dorag remained silent.

"...Then let me change the question." Zoro continued: "You, who have never raised Luffy for a day, are not Luffy's father at all."

"I also won't believe a guy who I've never met but suddenly shows up one day nineteen years later and claims to be my father."

"...You are right." Dragon smiled bitterly: "Although I hid my identity and did not meet Luffy in order to protect him, but according to the facts, I am indeed an incompetent father."

"You have reason to distrust me."

"..."

Dragon's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and he said slowly and firmly: "I am very grateful to you all for becoming Luffy's partner, accompanying him on this difficult journey, and defeating one powerful enemy after another..."

"But your journey ends here."

"Luffy will no longer remember you. From now on, you will be like strangers to Luffy."

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.

"Although you can't be pirates, you can still go wherever you want freely." Dragon said solemnly:
"Stop being a pirate."

"We have already decided on life and death..." Zoro replied, his eyes accidentally glancing at the door and seeing a small piece of scabbard sticking out of the door frame. It was the Yama worn by Kuina, which he would never forget. The rest of the words were immediately stuck in his throat.

Sanji asked curiously, "Green algae head, why don't you say anything?"

"..."

"You're useless. Watch me!" Sanji took a few steps forward, held his head high, and was about to say something heroic. Then he saw Reiju, whose face was as cold as frosty.

"Uh..." The lofty words that had just been brewing in my chest were instantly wiped out.

"What do you want to say?" Reiju reached out and rudely grabbed Sanji's ear, turning it half a circle clockwise.

"Wait wait!" Sanji cried out in pain: "My ears are going to fall off!"

"...This idiot." Zoro muttered.

"What did you say... It hurts, it hurts!" Sanji wanted to rush to Zoro immediately, but the shackles around his ears prevented him from moving.

"What do you want to say?" Reiju glared at Sanji fiercely: "I thought you had grown up, but you are still so troublesome!"

"Reiju..." Sanji gritted his teeth. Even if he hated his past family, he couldn't say bad things to the only sister who cared about him.

"This is my own business and will not affect you..."

Reiju interrupted, "Even if you think so, people who know your bloodline won't think so!"

"And I just want you to live safely and healthily! This is also my mother's wish!"

Sanji looked at Reiju's excited expression and murmured, "Reiju..."

The room returned to silence. Nami couldn't stand the atmosphere and couldn't help asking, "What are you going to do to Luffy?"

Reiju looked at her deeply and said, "He will be fine. Please forget about him."

"..." Nami cast an uneasy look towards the exit.

"Let me go!" Luffy's voice gradually faded away into everyone's ears. Everyone's eyes remained looking towards the door, motionless. The thing they secretly longed for in their hearts did not happen in the end.

After a long while, Sanji asked Reiju with a pleading look on his face: "Reiju, what do you want to do with Luffy?"

"I won't tell you." Reiju shook her head and said with a firm look: "If I tell you, it will not be a good thing for you and him."

……

Luffy was tied tightly to a chair made of high-purity seastone, staring at the people in front of him with a weak but powerful look.

"Even though you're affected by seastone, you're still so energetic." Brin chuckled, lifted her skirt and saluted: "Hello, you must be Mr. Dorag's son. Nice to meet you, my name is Charlotte Brin."

Luffy still said: "Let me go!"

Brin smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I can't fulfill your request."

Dorag said to Brin, "Thank you for your help, Brin."

"It's no trouble. I'm glad I could help."

After the Revolutionary Army was incorporated into Shenzhou, Brin used her ability to tamper with the memory of Lieutenant General Jonathan's wife Jessica, so that she no longer hated Shenzhou, which was a perfect end to a bad relationship.

The two sides were fighting, and several commanders of the revolutionary army did not want to say anything. Moreover, this was a good thing for Jessica herself, as it prevented her from continuing to sink in pain.

"But have you really decided?" Brin opened all three eyes at the same time, as if trying to peer into Dorag's heart.

"It seems that he has been determined to become the Pirate King since he was a child. Once his memory is modified, he is basically a different person..."

"His childhood, his youth, and all the adventures and experiences he had had were gone."

"..." The muscles on Dorag's face were trembling. It was obvious that he was struggling internally. After a long while, he slowly said, "Thank you for your help."

"...Okay." Brin nodded and said, "This is also for his own good."

"I'll leave him to you." Dorag seemed not to want to witness this scene and left the room alone.

"What are you talking about? What memory?" Luffy was confused.

"You want to know?" Brin raised her eyebrows, and the little devil hidden in her heart surfaced, and said nonchalantly:

"Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you. You won't remember it anyway."

"Next, I'm going to delete your memory."

"Delete... my memory..." Luffy repeated, his head full of question marks: "What do you mean?"

"..." Brin sighed with a defeated look on her face, "My father is a smart man who stirs up the world, but my own son is a fool..."

Brin used her acting talent to the fullest, with exaggerated body language and expression, saying: "In other words, your companions, your adventures, your dreams - they will all disappear in your head!"

Luffy lowered his head: "No..."

“No no no no no——!!”

"Don't you understand?" Brin smiled and said, "This world is not something you can just 'give up' if you 'don't want it'."

"Besides, I've already given you a chance before, but you didn't want it..."

Pudding walked towards Luffy, and what appeared in Luffy's frightened eyes was a delicate hand reaching out to him.

"stop--!"

Pudding's right hand suddenly thrust into Luffy's temple, pulling out a film-like materialized memory.

"Although I want to teach you a lesson for disrupting Lord Eric's order..."

"Well, let's follow Lord Eric's request and make you an ordinary young man..."

"But, this is already the most severe punishment for someone like you..."

"Have a good sleep and become a 'good citizen'!"

Luffy's past memories have been largely tampered with, various illegal and disorderly behaviors have been replaced with law-abiding actions, and his childhood dream has also become "a wife, children, and a warm bed."

As for whether Luffy will recover his memory in the future, Pudding is not worried. She has cut the film that visualizes Luffy's memory into small pieces, so that even she cannot restore it.

Due to the huge workload of memory modification, it took Brin a whole day to complete it. When she came out of the room, her face was full of fatigue and sweat covered her cheeks.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brin." Dorag, who was waiting outside the room, came forward.

Brin replied tiredly, "This is my value... Mr. Dorag, I'm going to rest first."

Dragon nodded and watched Brulee leave. Then he turned and walked into the room. Looking at the unconscious Luffy, he murmured, "Forgive me, Luffy."

……

According to the standardized trial process established by Eric, the arrested persons must first be tried in court and then sentenced according to their crimes. Those who deserve to go to jail will go to jail, and those who deserve to be shot will be shot.

Thanks to the sharp decline in the number of pirates, criminal activities also decreased significantly as the number of people decreased. Within a few days, it was the turn of the Straw Hat Pirates to be arrested. Zoro, Sanji and others were brought to court.

"Hey, hasn't that guy been chasing our navy?"

Nami had sharp eyes and she immediately saw Smoker, a man with white hair, sunglasses, bare chest and a cigar in his mouth.

There was more than one familiar face in the audience. Kuina, Reiju, Tina and others were sitting in different areas.

"The ghost is still haunting us." Sanji wanted to take out a cigarette and light one for himself, only to find that the lighter and cigarettes in his pockets had been confiscated.

Tina, who was sitting next to Smoker, reminded him, "Smoker-kun, you can't smoke in public."

Before he could reply, the staff member in charge of order on the scene came over and warned Smoker: "Please put out your cigar, or I will ask you to leave."

"..." Smoker put out his cigar and put it back in his pocket without saying a word. Tina beside him turned her head and moved to the other side, pretending to be strangers.

The interlude in the audience came to an end, and Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Franky, Brook, Bartolomeo, and Chopper were brought to the dock one by one.

"Boom"

The judge at the top banged the gavel, signaling the court to open.

"Defendant, Roronoa Zoro, Shimotsuki Village, East Sea; Sanji..."

"Committing the following crimes: disturbing public order, violently resisting law enforcement officers..."

After reading the contents of the document, the judge looked up at the seven people:

"Defendant, do you have any questions about the above?"

"Uh……"

Several people looked at each other, and finally Nami gritted her teeth and answered, "No."

The court clerk recorded: "The confession attitude is good and he confessed to the crime."

As for their defense lawyers, they had none at all.

In fact, today's event was just a formality, and Reiju had already reminded him before this.

In the end, they were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, which meant one year of compulsory labor.

"I didn't see Luffy." Sanji sighed.

"Luffy..." Chopper's eyes were filled with tears.

"Don't cry!" Zoro said in a low voice, "One day, we will meet again."

Chopper wiped his tears and hummed heavily.

After hearing the verdict, Smoker felt relieved. He had an inexplicable feeling towards the Straw Hat Pirates. They were not villains but pirates. They were pirates but they saved some ordinary people.

So he didn't want the Straw Hat Pirates to die, but wanted them to receive the punishment they deserved.

As Zoro and his companions passed by him, Smoker muttered to himself, "It's over."

"..." Zoro stopped and looked at him, then followed the others.

After leaving the court, Smoker was in a good mood and said to Tina beside him: "Let's go have a drink."

"Smoker-kun seems to be in a good mood?"

Tina suddenly said: "Tina just happened to have something to tell you."

"Huh?" Smoker looked at Tina puzzledly.

Tina said, "The promotion order for Tina has arrived. In a month, when the new prosecutor arrives at the Sabaody Archipelago, Tina will return to the mainland to take up her post after handing over her work."

Smoker was surprised and asked, "You got promoted so soon?"

Tina sighed and said, "Mr. Smoker, if you hadn't often beaten suspects half to death during investigations and been reprimanded by your superiors, you would have been promoted a long time ago."

"..." Suddenly the good mood turned bad again, and Smoker took out his cigar out of habit.

"Come on, Tina will buy you a drink." Tina took a few steps forward with a dashing manner, turned around and smiled, "Congratulations to Mr. Smoker for having one less thing on his mind, and congratulations to Tina on her promotion."

Looking at Tina's brisk steps in front of him, Smoker gave a wry smile and followed her.

……

Two days after being sentenced, the Straw Hat Pirates put on brand new orange labor camp uniforms and came to the tree island that was originally a lawless area. The person in charge of guarding them said to them:

"Your job is to clean up this mess."

"Where's Miss Nami?!" Sanji was a little unhappy, turning his head back and forth: "Why can't I see Miss Nami?!"

"Nami?" the caretaker replied, "Oh, you mean the woman who's with you? Her job is of course different from yours!"

"Eh?!"

The caretaker glanced at Sanji and said, "You can't let a woman do the heavy work, can you?"

Then he urged, "Okay, take your tools and get to work."

Brooke, whose limbs had recovered, asked, "What is the specific job?"

"How stupid." The caretaker said with a headache: "Tear down these dilapidated buildings, then collect the construction waste and finally transport it to the garbage ship."

Frank said, “…wouldn’t it be more efficient to use machinery to dismantle and transport it?”

"Nonsense." The guard glared at him unhappily and said, "Isn't this to make you lawbreakers understand that labor is the most glorious?"

"Stop talking nonsense." The caretaker waved his hand and said, "Get to work!"

The few people had no choice but to pick up the assigned tools and start working.

Zoro glanced at the tool in his hand: "Dual Blade Style..."

With a crisp and dull sound, the damaged building turned into a pile of cubic wreckage.

Sanji uses kicks to destroy buildings, turning them into smaller construction waste. Brook, Bartolomeo, and Brook are responsible for carrying the waste. Chopper turns back into reindeer form and pulls a truck to transport the small construction debris.

Their physical fitness is there, and their work efficiency is far higher than that of ordinary people. A job that ordinary people need half a year to complete can be completed by them in just a few hours.

"So fast……"

The person in charge was stunned to see that a small area was cleared in just one morning.

"Talent..."

Soon, a food truck arrived.

"Ms. Nami!" Sanji, covered in dust, had shining eyes and rushed over at a speed that ordinary people could not achieve.

Seeing that several people were here, Nami's taut nerves relaxed.

Apparently, she and a group of other women were responsible for preparing meals for the prisoners.

"Brother, do you want to eat or not? We are still hungry!"

A question came from behind, and Sanji looked back and saw a long queue behind him. The person who spoke was also a dusty prisoner.

"..."

As a chef, Sanji would never do anything to disturb hungry diners, even if they were a group of prisoners.

Sanji kept his thoughts to himself, picked up the plate, filled his meal, and returned to his work station.

Putting the warm food into his mouth, although it was not very delicious, for Sanji who always cooked for others, today's meal tasted different.

Bartolomeo said in a nonchalant tone, "It's not as delicious as Sanji's."

"What did you say?!" Sanji was furious: "This is a heart made by Miss Nami herself..."

"Stop talking." Zoro curled his lips and motioned Sanji to look in another direction: "We eat the same food as them."

"..."

Kuina, who had been worried about Zoro and had been observing him with a telescope from a distance for a long time, put down her raised right hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
