"It's colder in the North Pole!"
"No, Antarctica is colder!"
"No, it's obviously colder in the Arctic!"
Shanks and Bucky, eight years old this year, are trainees of the Roger Pirates. They have been on Roger's ship since they were very young.
The argument went from argument to quarrel, and finally to action, but the people in the Roger Pirates seemed to be used to this matter, and didn't think it was strange at all.
"Okay, you two, you were arguing about this issue when we were on the boat. You want to know the result, wouldn't it be great if both sides went to take a look!"
However, this occasion was obviously not the time for a fight. Rayleigh behind him solved the problem fairly and fairly with one punch.
"Now is not the time for you to quarrel. Take the time to replenish supplies. We will set sail soon."
After the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, the Roger Pirates' bounty did not change. According to the World Government's report, it was entirely the result of the Navy. They personally created "Navy Hero Garp" and made him the symbol of the Navy. Sexual figures enhanced the navy's prestige.
Although Garp's strength is worthy of the position of hero, the World Government also played a significant role.
As a witness to the incident, Garp has chased after Roger whenever he found traces of the Roger Pirates over the years, almost regarding Roger as his fateful enemy.
However, Garp didn't like the World Government's behavior of covering up the truth. In addition, he himself didn't like the Celestial Dragons, so he always refused to be promoted to general.
After becoming an admiral, the degree of freedom will decrease. They must be stationed in some specific locations and respond to some special events. Relatively speaking, lieutenant generals have more freedom to act.
In order to better hunt Roger, Garp refused to take over the post of general.
The biggest impact of this incident is actually on the Warring States Period. The mechanism of the three generals of the navy has been established for a long time, but now the positions of the three generals have been vacant. Zefa went behind the scenes and became the chief instructor. Garp refused to be promoted, which led to The Warring States Period was very busy at times.
Every time he saw Sora at the Navy Headquarters, the current Admiral would constantly complain about this matter.
There is no one else in the navy of their generation who can take on the position of general, so the navy has maintained this state for the time being. After Rocks was eliminated in the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, the sea was generally much better.
Warring States had to work overtime to keep busy. When the new generation grows up, the vacancies of generals will naturally be filled. It is better to let people with insufficient strength make up the numbers by force. It is better to keep this position vacant.
The Roger Pirates had just escaped from Garp's pursuit. In order to prevent being stuck again, they must seize the time to replenish supplies and leave here.
The trainees also had jobs, and Shanks and Bucky also had things to buy. After being taught a lesson by Rayleigh, the Roger Pirates also started to act separately.
At this time, Olga was bargaining with someone. The quarrel over there did not arouse her interest. She was not interested in those pirate slaves, and she did not need coolies or anything like that.
Since she has embarked on the path of being a pirate, she must be prepared to encounter anything, so her targets are ordinary people. Likewise, these people are also the cheapest type in the slave market.
Human trade is a legal business here, but it is not openly mentioned in the franchise countries, and there are hidden names such as employment agencies.
But here the price is basically clearly marked.
Criminals and nationals of non-franchised countries are both targets of the transaction. As for nationals of franchised countries, sorry, only nationals of non-franchised countries were caught here. This is just a fig leaf for human beings.
Nearly two hundred years ago, the Dragon Palace Kingdom on Fish-Man Island became a member of the World Government. However, mermaids have always been the highest selling species. Once a mermaid appears, it will definitely fetch a high price at auction.
Olga and Elizabeth had a total of ten million beli, which was a huge amount of money in terms of pocket money.
There are also price regulations for human transactions. According to the price in a few decades, ordinary humans will pay 500,000 beli at the auction. However, it is an auction, and the starting price is usually much lower than the value of the item.
The average selling price of the people Olga is interested in is about 1 million beli. She just wants to take away a few people. Quality is not as important as quantity at all.
"Look at how thin these people have become? And this one, I think they are almost dead. How can you have the nerve to ask for this price!"
Since the kidnapping incident in the Natho Kingdom, all the patterns on her clothes have been changed. Now she has a T-shirt with the Beasts Pirate Flag printed on it. It was this pattern that gave the slave trader across the way the patience to explain. Opportunity.
They are unwilling to offend the pirates who have territory in the new world, and Kaido has also joined this ranks.
"Miss, the price is already very cheap. And look at these people. Although they have lost a little weight, their health is fine. They will be fine in a few days. 10 million Baileys for 8 people is already very cheap. They’ll have no problem doing their job.”
"15 pieces, fixed price. These are not high-quality goods at all. They are worth this price."
"It's hard for me to do this... In this way, I can give you 13, but they can only be children. I will give you another gift."
In the slave market, the price of women is generally higher than that of men, and the price of young adults is higher than that of the elderly or young. Olga is not interested in those strong pirate slaves, so it is these age and appearance factors that determine the price.
As Olga said, there is no so-called "high-quality goods" here, such people have been sent to the auction, and here are the ones left after the first round of screening.
He just had these 13 little devils left in his hands. They were not good-looking, and they were neither too old nor too young, just twelve or thirteen years old. They could not be used as adult laborers, and they were also beyond the age for training confidants of dead soldiers.
He also wanted to get rid of this group of burdensome people, and he would pay if they died in his hands, and he would still have to pay if he kept them. He saw that Olga wanted to take over, so he also planned to take action.
"...Deal, what's the gift?"
"Here you go, it's said to be a treasure map, but I don't know exactly what's hidden there. The merchant handed Olga a sea map, along with a chain. High-end items like slave collars are not needed. This kind of place.
These people are only bound by ordinary chains.
"Hey! You two, stop wandering around and keep an eye on me. I bought this with money." They can't be let go here, otherwise they will be sent directly back to the traffickers, so Olga rushed to several hundred people. The man of the beast gave the order.
She is indeed a trainee, but not an ordinary trainee, but a cadre reserve.
