Chapter 7 Primitive Man
After battling the creature "Evan Lindsay," Klockdahl learned one thing.
The trickiest part of Lindsay, is his fighting power?
No!
Joke, just a few hours ago, he just learned to walk.
Even with the advantage of the Phantom Beast Seed Devil Fruit, how much more can his combat power be raised?
What really makes Lindsay tricky β even terrifying β is its amazing ability to learn!
Or rather, as a "creature"......
Evolutionary speed?
Klockdahl couldn't describe the feeling.
It's as if there is always potential to be tapped, and you can't figure out the ceiling of the other party!
β¦β¦
"Ahh
Lindsay's laughter was heard.
Klockdahl was a little impatient, and then closed his eyes to recuperate, while also pondering in his mind.
If he and Lindsay were not at risk of falling overboard, what would be the result of the battle they had just fought on land?
Did he rely on his fierce offensive to directly crush Lindsay in one go?
Or did Lindsay "evolve" a little faster and crack his own moves?
It seems possible.
But Klockdahl was not curious about the result, after all, he was not a stunned young man who had just gone to sea.
A few years ago, he had a draw with Douglas Barrett, the Devil's Heir, and was defeated by Whitebeard's men, and was finally recruited by the World Government to become one of the "Seven Martial Seas of the King".
This experience has made Crocodall's style of action more and more stable, and he always likes to plan before acting.
And at least for now, Evan Lindsay is not hostile, and there is no need for him to risk letting Lindsay continue to "evolve" and fight to the death.
Then it's up to him!
ββ¦β¦β
Klockdahl looked at the charts, confirmed the direction of progress, picked up the oars and began rowing.
Lindsay watched the scene with interest and was eager to try.
"Tsk, just an oar, you primitive don't come to trouble!"
Crocodall, of course, was unhappy with rowing Lindsay.
But at the same time, he didn't want Lindsay to break the oars, causing the two of them to row with their hands.
"Anyway, I'm going back to 'Paradise,' the first half of the Great Voyage."
Klockdahl explained.
But when he thought about it, the primitive man in front of him must not have understood the structure of this world today, so he casually added.
"The sea area where we are now is called the Great Route, and the specific location is the 'New World' located in the second half of the Great Route, and the first half is called 'Paradise'."
"In addition to the Great Shipping Route, this world is divided into four seas by the Red Earth Continent......"
ββ¦β¦β
Something like that.
Klockdahl gave Lindsay a cursory introduction to the world, such as the Age of the Sea Pirates, the Great Voyage, the Red Continent, the Four Seas, the Windless Belt, and so on......
Of course, Lindsay knew this, but it was rare for someone to talk to him, so he also revisited the information.
As for Klockdahl, of course, he is not going to be a good person for no reason, these words actually have another purpose.
In explaining the world to Lindsay, he focused on the "topography of the world".
There is a rumor on the sea that the two "windless belts" that hold the great route are the handiwork of ancient weapons!
If Evan Lindsay really knew the information of ancient weapons, then he would definitely react to changes in the world's topography.
Klockdahl watched Lindsay carefully.
As she said, "The Windless Belt is the lair of the giant sea kings," Lindsay's head suddenly shuddered.
That's it?!
Klockdahl's eyes were shocked, and he was about to ask further, only to find Lindsay lying on the edge of the boat and beginning to fall asleep.
Klockdahl: "......"
A few green tendons erupted on his forehead.
It's really a character that makes me very unhappy......
If he hadn't had a glimmer of expectation for the information of this primitive man, he would have really wanted to throw Lindsay directly into the sea!
β¦β¦
Klockdahl rowed all night.
It wasn't until dawn that I finally saw the towering red earth continent from afar!
Along the edge of the Red Earth, some distance away, a very large port emerges.
The port was established by the World Government as the official gateway between the two sections of the Great Shipping Route.
As such, it was only used for transportation and was not developed into a port town.
Klockdahl looked out at the docks and sighed gloomily.
"It's finally here."
"Hard."
"I didn't ...... ...... thing"
Finding that Lindsay had finally woken up after a night's sleep, the corners of Klocodahl's eyes twitched, and he forcibly held back the unhappiness in his heart.
After all, this is the territory of the World Government, and although the status of the Seven Martial Seas is legitimate, it is not wrong to keep a low profile.
β¦β¦
Dock.
The two got off the boat one after another.
Afterwards, Klockdahl directly activated his ability to sand the boat, causing it to sink completely into the sea, leaving as little trace as possible.
"Let's study hard!"
Seeing that Lindsay's gaze was slightly puzzled, the unhappiness in Klockdahl's heart was finally diluted a little.
Anyway, the ship needs to be changed, and the old means of transportation are only risking to stay.
But Klockdahl didn't bother to explain to Lindsay, so he simply said perfunctorily:
"Think for yourself."
"Okay, I got it!"
Lindsey nodded, thoughtful.
The corners of Klockdahl's eyes twitched, and he said slowly:
"If you want to get between the front and back sections of the Great Route, there are generally only two ways to get through."
"Either change ships and take the official route of the Red Clay Continent; Or venture to the bottom of the ocean below. β
Klockdahl lit himself a cigar.
"The official route on the Red Earth Continent not only connects the great shipping routes, but also leads to other seas."
"But if you're an illegal pirate, there's very little route to choose from."
"So for pirates, once they embark on a great voyage, it is difficult to turn back in a sense with dignity."
"Either disguise yourself as a refugee and flee without armor, or you can only be captured by the navy."
After a pause, Klockdahl suddenly said:
"Of course, you can also choose to commit suicide and cross the windless zone."
He still hoped to learn something from Lindsay's side, but it was to no avail.
There is information about [Ancient Weapons], which is indeed available but not sought, so you can only make good use of the information you have in your hands now, and take a step at a time.
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at Lindsay, who was planning to take a good look at the port, Klockdahl rubbed his eyebrows.
"Let's go, the world government is very strict, there are people in a hurry here, and the caravans carrying goods don't dare to stay here."
"If you want to have some fun, just wait for you to cross the Red Earth and go to the Chambord Islands."
Chambord Islands.
Hearing this familiar name, Lindsay's mood was much better.
The ports of Punk Hazard and the Red Earth Continent are all lifeless, and they are still sightseeing islands like the Chambord Islands, which are the most exciting!
β¦β¦
The two of them followed the line of their peers, all the way forward.
The identity of His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas is indeed special.
They are sea pirates that even the world government finds tricky, and no one wants to provoke them, so they have a green light and go unhindered.
Soon, the two of them had already boarded the special passage of the Red Earth Continent, and they had walked most of the way.
Lindsay silently observed the way.
Many chambers of commerce are waiting in line, routinely inspected by world government officials to prevent pirates or contraband from getting in.
And as he walked, a special "caravan" attracted Lindsay's idea.
The same caravans, their wagons were not loaded with "goods", but with a bunch of "humans" with chains and shackles!
Of course Lindsay knew, it was a bunch of slave tradersβ
"Legal" slave traders!
Lockdahl noticed Lindsay's gaze and took a puff on his cigar with a light smile.
"Hehehehe, I'll introduce you to this primitive person."
"In this day and age, it is possible for a 'man' to become a 'slave', and a 'slave' is also a kind of 'legal good'."
ββ¦β¦β
Klockdahl took this very lightly.
He didn't care about the so-called slave trade, because that trade only increased the benefits on a monetary level, but what Klockdahl really longed for was "military power"!
Lindsay nodded slightly.
As the two approached, the noise of the slave caravan could be heard.
It seems that because of the long wait, the slave traders were bored and began to on the cheapest slaves.
Syllable! Syllable!
The whip struck a young slave in succession, leaving blood marks on it.
The young man fell to his knees and begged the merchant to let him go, only to be greeted with the ridicule of the slave traders.
ββ¦β¦β
Lindsey watched the scene silently, her eyes falling on the others around her.
The rest of the slaves watched numbly, and even a little glad that it was not themselves who were singled out to vent.
As for the passers-by of other ordinary caravanserais.
Either this is commonplace, or watching this scene with interest, passing the time of boredom.
Laughter and wailing mingled together, distracted by the numb gaze, and mixed into a puddle of mud.
ββ¦β¦ Hey! β
Lindsay grinned.
"Little crocodile, look at them."
He patted Klockdahl on the shoulder, pointed to the slavers not far away, and the more people around him, and smiled:
"I thought I was primitive enough......"
