Chapter 257: Pirates Seek Country

At the thought of the possible consequences, even Ian couldn't help but shudder.

Fortunately, I didn't think of changing the course at the moment, and I landed on the island as originally planned.

"Tell me about it!" Ian also sat down and said, "What's going on on this island, since you have a mission and are waiting for me on this island, how can you get involved in the battle on this island?" Also, what about Hu Tao and Yardi? Did they not follow you, or did they get separated from you? ”

Konanayi originally wanted to narrate, but at this time, Zike and the others found this room, and Konanayi could only shut up for the time being.

"Captain, there's nothing else alive in the village!" Zike reported to Ian, then glanced at Konanayi curiously.

Ian also knew what they were thinking, so he introduced: "This is Konanayi, my companion, and it was with their help that I was able to learn about the movements of the navy in the Holy Land of Mary Joa. ”

As soon as Zike heard this, he immediately respected Konanayi, in fact, when he escaped with Ian, Zike and they found out that Ian was contacting someone through the phone bug, and at that time they guessed that Ian might have a companion, but they didn't expect to meet here, so in this way, Konanayi is also their benefactor.

Through the conversation, Konanayi also knew that this was Ian's crew, so he also nodded to them, which was regarded as a greeting.

Everyone sat down around Konanayi and listened to her, not to mention Ian, everyone was confused about the situation on the island.

"Hu Tao and I, along with Yardi, landed on this island a month ago!" Konanayi said: "Count, it should be half a month after the Salamis incident, after arriving on this island, we originally lived in the city and waited for you, but then an incident happened, we rescued a man who was chased by pirates, and under his guidance, we came to this village." ”

"Saving people?" Ian said suspiciously, "Does it have anything to do with today's incident?" ”

"Listen to me!" Ko Nanayi said: "It's actually nothing to save people, but we found out afterwards that this man was actually a miner who escaped from the mine. ”

As Konanayi spoke, Ian and the others gradually understood what was going on.

It turns out that this island is a well-known gem country in the New World, producing some rubies and emeralds, although the production is not large, but it also makes the people of this island live a rich life.

The population of the island is not large, because it produces gemstones, so it is basically miners, this small country was originally one of the countries of the world government, but because it is in the middle of the New World, so there is no naval station.

However, what is unexpected is that about eight years ago, a sea pirate suddenly came to this island, and with the help of his pirate group, he launched a sneak attack, killed the palace, and killed the king of this country!

Needless to say, the sea thief plotted to seize the country and took the throne himself.

Originally, this kind of thing was absolutely not allowed by the world government, and the world government considered it at that time, and wanted to send a navy to capture this pirate, but what I didn't expect was that the pirate king actually went to Mary Joa, and when he came back, he became the king of this country in the name of it, although the world government did not express its position, but it did not send the navy again, which is equivalent to acquiescence.

Such a reversal really makes the people of this island a little incomprehensible, although they know that this pirate king may have reached some agreement with the world government, but because they don't know the details, they can't do anything.

After all, the history of the country established on this island is too short, unlike a thousand-year-old country like Alabastan, the people of the royal family have been deeply rooted in the minds of the people, and for ordinary people, in fact, who is the king, they don't care so much, the other party has force in his hands, and he can't resist, so it's okay to obey him, as long as it doesn't disturb the lives of the people.

However, who knows, soon after the pirate king came to power, he announced that all the ore veins on the island were nationalized, and all the miners on the island must serve the country.

He sent out men to capture adult men on the island, use them as miners, and then assign them to the mines to dig up ore.

Having lost their personal freedom, the people on the island who were treated as miners worked a great greater number of hours per day, not to mention the heavy manual labor, and in the end they were paid less than before, and even when the work was completed, these miners were not allowed to return home, but were grouped together and looked after.

It's no different from being a slave......

After a long time, the people stopped doing it, so they wanted to resist, but the pirate king actually bribed many pirates to serve him, and used the pirates to suppress these miners.

This situation has lasted for a full eight years, all the people who were caught mining were tortured to the point that they did not look like humans, during which some miners also escaped from the sea and wanted to seek help from the navy, but some were chased and intercepted by the pirates, and occasionally some really escaped, even if they found the navy, they were excused by the navy, and then ignored.

When the people of the island found out about this situation, they finally despaired, they knew that the navy could no longer be counted on and could only rely on themselves, so in secret, the miners began to secretly unite and plan to launch an uprising to overthrow the pirate king.

Unbeknownst to them, Konanai landed on the island at such a time, and the man they rescued turned out to be one of the leaders who organized the miners to revolt!

And the reason why he was hunted down by the pirates was because there was a traitor within the organization, and he was exposed!

He and dozens of miners realized that something was wrong, so they killed the guards and ran out, but when they passed through the city, they were caught up by pirates hired by the king, and a fierce battle ensued in the city, and the rest of the people died, he was also seriously wounded, and was discovered by Konanayi and rescued him, and Konanayi escorted him back to the village of this secret stronghold, leaving Hu Tao and Yardi, who continued to wait for Ian in the city.

As a revolutionary army, Konanayi has a sympathetic attitude towards the plight of these miners, so he is willing to help them if he can.

It's just that the timing she was at was really unfortunate, and the man she rescued was in a coma for three days, and it was during these three days that the One Piece King was also ready and began to launch a bloody suppression of these miners who wanted to rebel against him.

The time happened to be last night!

Due to the betrayal of the informant, the hiding places of the rebellious miners were all exposed, and the pirate king hired a large number of different pirate groups as his thugs and began to attack these hiding places, these miners were originally just ordinary people, and the weapons in their hands were pitiful, how could they be the opponents of the pirates who had been fighting on the sea for a long time, so after a little resistance, the miners' battle line collapsed.

Ben came here, if the One Piece King had a little conscience, he would have re-arrested the people, but because the One Piece King had already won the country, he had always been very vigilant, and he was very annoyed by such an uprising and rebellion, so he ordered all the miners involved in the uprising to be killed.

And so the island's first-ever tragedy occurred, when the frenzied pirates, faithfully carrying out their employer's orders, carried out a massacre of the island's miners.

Thousands of miners, indiscriminately, were listed as the targets of slaughter, although the miners tried their best to resist, but they still had no choice but to defeat the pirates who were fully armed and had cannons, and finally had to fight and retreat, trying to retreat to the sea to escape.

As a result, when he first went out to sea, he encountered the pirates who followed him, so at sea, the two sides started another fierce battle.

This time it was even worse, naval battles were commonplace for the pirates, although the miners gritted their teeth and killed many pirates because they had no way out, but in the end, they were still exterminated......

This is how it happened, the village where Konanayi is located is one of the secret hideouts of the miners, and the result also attracted the pursuit of the pirates, although Konanayi also helped the miners resist these pirates, but was helplessly outnumbered, and finally caught off guard and was cut down to the ground from behind by a pirate......

If Ian had been an hour or two late, Konanayi would have died of blood loss.

Listening to her story, Ian and they were silent all the time.

It wasn't until the end that Ian frowned and asked, "It's strange, just with some gems, can this pirate king bribe the world government and let them indulge here?" ”

"That's right, if the gems produced on this island really have such great benefits, won't it arouse the hearts of the Four Emperors?" Zike also asked.

When Ko Nanayi was talking just now, Ian interjected and asked twice, and learned that the pirate king here turned out to be a pirate with a bounty of 340 million, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with the Four Emperors Pirates, and this island was not under the jurisdiction of any Four Emperors.

This is what Ian thinks is the strangest, how can a place that can produce gems attract the covetousness of the Four Emperors, right? No pirate will have trouble with money.

"I've asked the miners here!" Konanayi shook his head and said, "In fact, there are very few gem veins on this island, and after so many years of mining, they have almost been exhausted. ”

"Then why imprison these miners and let them mine?" Ian asked, puzzled.

"Because the One Piece King doesn't seem to want a gem mine!" Konanayi fumbled around her body for a while, took out a small white crystal, and said, "What he wants, it seems to be this thing!" ”
