After that, the two continued to wander around Center Street.

However, it is true that the rest of the city is similar to what Lisa said, and most of the rest of the place is residential, and although the buildings are neatly built, there is nothing to visit at all.

It was still early in the middle of the day, and the two of them had already arrived in the West Zone, which was very empty and looked like a vast park.

Roland and the others could see that there was a large crowd of people gathered in one of them.

"Punish the source of uncleanness severely! Banish this demon incarnate! Let's make our lives clean again! ”

In the midst of the commotion of the crowd, there was a shout that tore open his throat, and the sound was really not small, which instantly attracted the attention of Roland and the others.

As the two of them walked towards each other, the crowd shouted as they gathered.

"That's right!"

"It's so dirty!"

"Must be expelled!"

"This monster!"

……

"But! Eviction may not be enough! The shout rang out again, "The life that has been dirty must be made merit to be clean again!" ”

"I don't want to be dirty!"

"Cleanliness must be restored!"

"Accumulate merit!!"

……

The mood of the crowd was getting higher and higher.

Although he couldn't see the specific situation inside the crowd, Roland always felt that there seemed to be a sense of déjà vu of a pyramid scheme.

"That's right! Merit must be accumulated! After the crowd quieted down, the man shouted again, "Look at me!" The Legendary Stone of Cleansing! With this incarnation of throwing demons, you will be able to accumulate merit! ”

"Give me the stones!"

"I want to accumulate merit!"

"I'm going to dispel the filth!"

……

The crowd shouted again, and Roland finally squeezed into the crowd and could see what was going on inside.

First of all, the guy who had been shouting, he was a little chubby, and he was wearing a white robe with all sorts of strange ornaments, and he looked like a missionary.

Could it be that there are also missionaries in the One Piece world? Roland thought with some confusion.

Whether he's a missionary or not, let's just take it for now.

He was holding a small white stone in his hand, which was supposed to be what he called the "Stone of Cleansing", which looked no different from an ordinary stone except that it was very white.

Next to him, there were several young men who were also dressed in white, but judging by the degree of decoration of their clothes, they should be of a lower rank than this fat missionary.

They each held a small basket filled with those little white pebbles.

Roland pursed his lips, there are so many words, no matter how you think about it, you know that it can't be something too magical.

However, this was not the point, and Roland looked away from the white pebble and instead looked at the small figure in the center, curled up on the ground, which was what the fat missionary called "the embodiment of the devil".

At this look, Roland was stunned - short white hair, two small brown cat ears, and a slender and long cat tail behind him.

What the heck? Cat lady?

Wrong! This is the world of pirates, that is, the fur people?

It's not right, they are far away in the New World, how can they come here? Still suffering from this sin?

Could it be a Devil Fruit?

Just as Roland was guessing, the fat preacher was already shouting again, "Not only that, but you can also accumulate merit with your own money!" It was originally a thousand bells of cleansing stone! Now it's a great deal! A Thousand Berry, Five Cleansing Stones! ”

The crowd responded with a pause, and it seemed that money would calm people down.

The fat man didn't panic at all, and shouted again, "What's wrong? O citizens who yearn for cleanliness! There is a limit to the Cleansing Stone! First come, first served! If you are slow, you will not be able to accumulate merit! ”

"I'll buy it!"

"Sell it to me!"

"It's me! I'll shout first! ”

……

The crowd was agitated again, and it seemed that no matter what the world was, people were just as good as they were about to limit such means.

"Don't worry! Hold your horses! Buy it from the disciples here! Get in line! As long as you line up well, you can accumulate merit! The fat man spoke again.

After that, the onlookers lined up while shouting "line up" and "accumulate merit", and their fanatical eyes looked a little scary.

The people who bought the Stone of Cleansing unceremoniously threw the stone at the ...... Let's call it a cat girl for the time being, and show no mercy at all.

Looking at the cat-man girl who was holding her head and curled up tighter, how could Roland turn a blind eye?

However, before he could move, Merlin had already run out, running directly in front of the cat girl and using her body to stop the stones.

However, her expression looked wrong, as if she was angry.

Before Roland could dig deeper, she was already shouting, "What demon? What merit? What cleansing stone? Do you believe this kind of thing that sounds like a lie?! ”

Roland was stunned, well, I almost forgot, for things like faith, Merlin is super disgusted!

Because of her shouting, the enthusiasm of the crowd couldn't help but stagnate.

However, the fat man didn't look stupidly and shouted at Merlin, "What are you talking about, little girl! Are you also a companion of demons? Do you want to make everyone's lives unclean?! ”

completely avoided the topic of deception, and also raised the question of difficult to answer, and it was really professional, and he knew how to incite the people.

The crowd was agitated again.

"Demons' companions are also demons! It is also one of the sources of uncleanness! ”

"That's right! Throw the Cleansing Stone at that girl too! ”

……

Merlin ignored this, and continued to shout to herself, "Because a girl made life dirty or something, do you think this kind of thing is possible?!" If you want to live a clean life, why don't you work hard to take care of it yourself? Why do you have to rely on this deceitful stone of cleansing? ”

Her emotions were a little excited, and it seemed that it was reminding her of the mountain god.

The two are indeed a bit similar, except that the belief in the mountain god pursues a peaceful life, and this pursuit is a clean life.

Judging from Merlin's performance, she doesn't seem too surprised by the girl's cat-man identity.

It's no wonder that she lives with slimes and humane giant apes all day long, and she must feel that it is normal for cat people to exist in this world.

Listening to Merlin's words, some people stopped what they were doing and thought about it, but others unceremoniously threw the stone over again.

Of course, Roland couldn't just watch Merlin being thrown stones, he jumped lightly, flashed in front of her, and directly stopped all the white stones with his hands, and by the way, he also preyed on one of them.

After analyzing it, sure enough, it was just an ordinary stone, and this fat man was cheating money.
