Chapter IX Deposit
Chambord Islands.
"Give me a little bit of dexterity, this ship is going to sail today."
"Okay, the ship is ready"
"Hurry up, there's a new ship coming in!"
"Ed, where are you lazy again! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu picked your skin. ”
The coating workers on the docks are busy on the pirate ship with a variety of different pirate flags.
……
"Hahaha, little ones, go to sea."
"Fish-Man Island, our Red Tiger Pirates are here." ……
If the unproductive residues of pirates are of any use to the development of humanity, perhaps their contribution to the economic development of the Chambord Islands is barely counted.
……
Since the first pirate group, after catching mermaids from Mermaid Island and making a lot of money in the slave auction house, they have not been hunted down by the Whitebeard Pirates, and they have not even suffered too heavy casualties.
More and more pirates are setting their sights on Fish-Man Island, after all, not all pirates are like Luffy, who has the ambition to become the king of the pirates, or for the dream. More than for Bailey, for women.
And these can be easily obtained just by catching a mermaid, and the auction price of a mermaid is enough to exchange for 100 million Bailey, or two hundred young and beautiful female human slaves.
The pirates who first entered the great voyage, the pirates who were quickly eliminated after entering the New World, and even the bounty hunters who pursued Bailey, in their eyes, lost the protection of Whitebeard, and even the only one that could handle the battle power was very peaceful, and Fish-Man Island was like a fat and juicy piece of fat that anyone could bite into.
Although Fish-Man Island is still guarded by the so-called Fish-Man Army, it is inevitable that there will be some losses in the process of catching mermaids, but in the eyes of the pirates who are caught in this carnival feast, those losses are not as dangerous as the back and forth between the Chambord Islands and the Fish-Men.
……
A black-skinned fish-man with a collar made of steel, numb, desperate on his face, like a walking corpse, walked the streets of the lawless part of the Chambord Islands with a red skeleton.
The inhabitants of the outlaw zone looked at this fish-man, and they were only slightly surprised, and after the hideous appearance of this fish-man, they each got busy with their own affairs.
For the civilians living in the lawless zone, in the past half a month, they have seen too many fish-man slaves, and even the mermaids who used to be claimed to be worth 100 million Bailey have also seen them in the hands of those pirates who have sent them to the slave auction house, and this fish-man is just an unlucky guy.
Compared to these civilians, the bounty hunters and pirates hiding among the civilians looked at the black fish-man with a little greed.
Although the Fish-Man is nowhere near the price of the Mermaid, the rare Fish-Man is also very expensive in the slave auction house, not to mention that this Fish-Man seems to be the type that can be sold for a high price.
However, no one is stupid enough to attack this fish-man, although it is common to rob the streets in the illegal area, but the owner of this fish-man is the blood skeleton Brook, a cadre of the king's Seven Martial Seas, so they have extinguished some of their thoughts that should not arise
The Shatiya Pirates had wiped out all the pirates on Gaya Island before, and if it weren't for a few pirates who escaped with their lives, no one would have known about the massacre that took place on Gaya Island.
This undoubtedly made Shatia's murderous reputation even higher.
Although there are rumors that Shatiya found the legendary lost Golden Island on Gaya Island, so he wanted to kill all the pirates on Gaya Island.
But in the face of Shatiya, whose reputation has risen to the next level, except for some fools who are carried away by interests, they will go to Shatiya for trouble, at least there is no idiot who can survive in the illegal zone and be carried away by Bailey.
……
"Oh, are you coming back?" Shatiya walked in front of Jinping, stretched out her fingers and pinched Jinping's chin, looked at Jinping's expression like a walking corpse, and nodded with satisfaction. "That's a nice look."
It's hard to imagine that the dark mermaid in front of him, with all kinds of scars on his body, would be the former king of the Seven Martial Seas Sea Hero Jinping.
……
"Why? Why is this happening?!" Jinping let out a roar of pain, and there was a fire of hatred in his eyes.
Not only hatred of humanity, but also resentment of being unable to do anything about oneself who could only watch his fellow citizens become slaves.
Due to the influence of Princess Otohime, most of the Fishmen have expectations for humans, believing that communication can solve the problem of unfair treatment of the Fishmen, and it is also under this influence that Jinpei decides to accept the conscription of the World Government's King Nanamukai.
Even so, after he served as the king of the Seven Martial Seas, the damage to Fish-Man Island was still not reduced, and there were still fishmen, and mermaids were captured by humans and reduced to slaves.
It wasn't until Neptune asked his friend Whitebeard for help, and Whitebeard gave his flag to Fish-Man Island, that "peace" was restored to Fish-Man Island.
And even so, Jinping still has expectations for humans, hoping that they will no longer treat fish-people as fish, and that they will no longer hurt fish-people.
And now, what did Jinping see? After he died in battle, Fish-Man Island lost the protection of Whitebeard. A large number of compatriots were reduced to slavery, and they could only watch as they were sold like goods by the so-called human aristocracy.
Only now did Jinping realize how ridiculous his idea was, how could humans be mercilessly sold even to their own compatriots, and how could they have a human nature for the fish in their eyes!
"You guys are so stupid!" Shatia's red pupils were like a bayonet, mercilessly revealing the reality that Jinping didn't want to face, or was willing to face.
"Leaving your life to someone else's decision, and expecting others not to hurt you, I didn't expect that such a stupid race would survive. I wonder what Lord Ainz likes about you? ”
"Perhaps a pity for your weakness? After all, you are not only stupid, but also weak, and the lions hunt the antelope, but they dare not look down on the oxen, and this is the truth of the world. Shatia's voice was like a devil in hell, constantly seducing the malice in Jinping's heart.
"If you're strong enough, strong enough to be as strong as Lord Ainz, it's not humans who sell fishmen now, it's you who sell humans." Shatiya pinched Jinping's chin and said leisurely.
"Of course, this is just a dream, and the bones on Lord Anz's body are far stronger than yours." Shatia let go of Jinpei's chin and slowly walked back to her seat.
"But, I have to say, you're lucky, even lucky enough to be favored by Lord Ainz."
