Chapter Seventy-Six: The Slave Trade in the Chambord Islands
Act-76
A week later
"Little brother, don't you want to try the Great Route buns?"
"This gentleman, a souvenir of the Great Voyage, is very popular in the New World. How? Buy some with you? ”
"This young lady, the Chambord Islands' specialty bubble car, buy one for only 10,000 baileys, very cheap, you can ride on the island."
……
Jiang Tian walked down the street, and along the road, there were merchants smiling and selling things to pedestrians. They also sell everything from buns to clothes, hotel hospitality coupons to scooters, clothing, food, housing and transportation, all of which are varied.
He smiled and rejected their pitch and walked straight to the area where Auction House 1 was located.
He thought Karp would follow Upside Down Hill into the Great Passage and then reach the Navy headquarters. When the time comes, he will be able to disembark in the small garden.
But he never expected that Karp would actually take him over the Red Earth Continent and directly reach the Navy Headquarters in the shortest distance.
So, Jiang Tian came to the Chambord Islands, which was closest to the naval headquarters.
Bubble culture is prevalent in the Chambord Islands, such as bubble cars, bubble-shaped buildings, bubble-shaped hats, bubble-themed amusement parks, etc., which are all familiar to the outside world but rare to see here.
It is worth mentioning that the Navy Headquarters was in full power at this time, and the evil parties engaged in the gray industry in the Chambord Islands were under pressure, and they were all quite restrained. So, it's still rare to see things like brawls along the streets.
When he first arrived in the Chambord Islands, Jiang Tian thought about going to Xia Qi's blackmail bar on the 13th to visit Mr. Reilly, but after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have any qualifications to go to Reilly, so he gave up.
But later, he remembered that Reilly often played the operation of selling himself, so Jiang Tian changed his goal and set his destination at the No. 1 auction house, wanting to try his luck.
After all, coming to the Chambord Islands without looking at Reilly and the Tianlong people is like going to Beijing without looking at the Great Wall.
What a hero!
Gradually, there were fewer ordinary people on the road, replaced by nobles dressed in luxury clothes and wearing gold crowns. They gathered in twos and threes, pointing to the list of auction items in their hands, and discussing their goals for the day as if no one was around.
"I want to buy a stronger man today, the one used to be not enough for me to play with my daughter."
"That's not enough to buy one, I saw a ten-person group of ten-man men on the list, and it seems that there are fish people. Why don't you try? ”
"I can't stand the fishy smell of the fish people. My daughter loves these fish, and she has been playing with the one she bought before. ”
"By the way, what do you want to buy?"
"Of course it's a beautiful little girl, preferably the kind that can dance, I like it the most...... Tsk......"
"Sir, you're really funny."
……
Jiang Tian heard a lot of similar conversations, and after listening to them, his heart was full of silence and irrepressible anger.
When he read comics before, he also angrily used the keyboard on the barrage to denounce the ugly faces of these nobles; He also vowed that if he saw such a person, he would kill one of them; Also, determined to follow Luffy to change the sickness of the world.
But he wore it twelve years early!
Luffy may not have met the redhead yet!
"I want to be a person on the ship in the next life" or something, it's not a good thing at all.
Passing through these nobles discussing how to eat people, Jiang Tian came to the gate of the No. 1 auction hall.
"Huh, now my strength is still very weak, and I can only help you where I can." He glanced at the slaves guarding the door of the auction hall and whispered to himself.
He lowered the spherical hat he wore on his head, verified his belongings, and walked into the auction hall with his number plate.
The inside of the auction hall is very large, and it may not be a problem to accommodate a few hundred or even a thousand people, which is also due to the fact that the stage at the front occupies a large space.
It's just that seeing that stage, Jiang Tian's silence in his heart is deeper, and his anger is even more irrepressible.
While on the ship, he once asked Karp, "What does the Navy think of the slave industry?" ”
Karp's reply at the time made him confused for a day.
He said: "The Navy, it's not called that, they call it human resource dispatch. ”
The reason for such a big stage, Jiang Tian knows very well. But it is precisely because it is clear that it is angry, so it is silent.
The reason why human beings are different from animals is that they are emotional, rational and moral.
But what distinguishes human beings from animals is that they are cruel, selfish, and dirty.
The slave trade magnifies the ugliness of human selfishness, cruelty, and filth to the fullest.
This is...... Desperate execution table!
Jiang Tian sat in the empty seat in the last row with an extremely heavy heart.
As the guests arrived, the stage, which had been darkened, lit up.
After the curtain sounded, a woman dressed in festive and revealing clothes arrived in the middle of the stage through the lifting device under the stage, she raised the microphone in her hand and shouted: "Everyone, are you ready to be stripped of the money in the pocket of the little woman?" ”
The aristocrats in the audience seemed to be accustomed to women's incisions, and they all laughed and urged.
"Haha, Tesia, you better hurry up and put it up for auction!"
"We've been waiting for this auction for a month."
"As long as the things sold are good, money is definitely not a problem!"
"I'm afraid you've been preparing for a month, and it's still those ordinary goods in the surrounding stores!"
Hearing this, Tessia also smiled, she pointed to the curtain behind her, and said, "Okay, okay, don't say much, let's go directly to the No. 1 auction item!" ”
"Is it about to start?" Jiang Tian raised his head and looked at the big red curtain with pleated patterns.
The curtain slowly opened, and the so-called Lot No. 1 was revealed behind the curtain.
It was a pale-faced man, with a collar embedded with bombs and locators around his hands and feet, and he was escorted by several knights in armor to Tessia's side.
"Look, this is our number one lot. A human pirate who has survived many battles at sea. Moreover, as a chef on a pirate ship, he also cooks good dishes. After tasting it by Tesia himself, his taste is very good. ”
Tescia picked the man's chin and introduced him to the nobles in the audience, and there was a kind of charming and sexy teasing in and out of his words.
"500,000 starting at auction! Such a useful man, as long as 500,000 to shoot! ”
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Oh, Miss No. 16 bid 550,000, is there anything else to bid?"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Wow, Mr. 20 is also very discerning! Anything else to bid? ”
……
Tessia was looking at the nobles in the audience, and Jiang Tian was looking at the human pirate. I don't know how he was treated, there was no desire to survive in his eyes, just a numbness, as if he was not going through his auction, but waiting to die in some "heavenly sanatorium" or something.
Such a person is no longer worth saving.
Jiang Tian checked the number plate in his hand, and finally put it down.
