Just as Leijiu was interrogating Xia Jie, Bella and Dorothea had already arrived at the submarine's 'cargo', and their expressions changed the moment they opened the hatch.
Hundreds of cages are placed in layers in the room, just like rows of display shelves. Just looking at them makes people feel nervous.
Even Bella, who had been captured and turned into a slave, felt a lump in her heart.
She is a mermaid, and even in the hands of slave traders, she is the best product. The imprisonment given to her is often separate, but also more strict. After that, she never encountered a slave ship. Even though she captured and killed many slave-catching pirates on Fish-Man Island, the sight before her still made her expression darken instantly.
And these people are not alien species, they are all pure humans.
Just as Yuyuko said, it is not human beings that are distorted, but the human heart.
Bella took a deep breath before slowly opening her eyes.
"Come on, open these cages."
The voice was trembling, and it was obvious that this scene made Bella feel very uncomfortable.
Dorothea nodded, glanced disgustedly at Xia Jie, who was being interrogated by Reijiu not far away, and then followed Bella into the room.
…
Looking at the scene in the distance, Youyouzi frowned, her face was very ugly, and she glanced at a pool of bloody corpses not far away, feeling disgusted in her heart.
"Really disgusting maggots."
With a wave of his hand, the wind stirred up a wave of sea water and washed away the corpse. Keep it, it will ruin your mood.
It's pretty bad though.
The slave trade is the second most unpleasant thing in the world for Youyouzi. As for the first most unpleasant thing, it is naturally those arrogant Celestial Dragons.
As a Chinese who grew up under the red flag, what is engraved in his bones is the rebellious spirit of "Princes, generals, ministers, etc."
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. Human beings should constantly strive for self-improvement and stand up to heaven and earth.
I don’t respect the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, I just want to be a noble and righteous person.
It's okay to joke about being a slave or a maid, but if it's really slavery, then why not let the floods turn the world upside down.
And not to mention more, human trafficking alone has separated countless wives and even destroyed their families, and the slave trade that escalates from human trafficking is so outrageous. This is why Yuyuko has always said that she just wants to have a good look at this world, but there is no reason to stop Rocker and the others from revolution.
Not doing it doesn’t mean you don’t support it. The real world behind this hot-blooded comic is not bright and clean. On the contrary, this world is rotten to the core. Even four hundred years ago...
Therefore, Youyouzi always fought one by one when it came to the slave trade. When he was in Chambord, he could stay a little more hidden because St. Mary Joa was not far away, and arrived at the East China Sea.
Disgust is already somewhat naked.
Isika's movement was restricted, but it was only a symbolic restriction. Even Yalei, who was timid and not good at close combat, was stronger than her on the ship. For example, she had already reached the gate. The people Xia Sha and Xia Jie captured were not far away.
There are no Devil Fruit users here. If there were most of them, they would have resisted long ago. They were either killed or ran away, leaving almost no one with the ability to escape from them.
"Isika, are these people the navy wants to protect?"
Qishi didn't know when she came to Isika's side, and her expression was not very good either.
As a reporter, she has been exposed to such things several times, but it is difficult for these things to be published in newspapers. The reason is simple. Most of this slave industry is related to dark forces and the world government. To be more precise, the core group of people in this slave trade is none other than the Celestial Dragons who are revered as gods.
Of course, ordinary people (rich) may also buy slaves, but if their slaves run away, they still have a chance to return to the lives of ordinary people. And the slaves of the Celestial Dragons...if they are discovered, they will be treated as It is possible to steal the finances of the Celestial Dragons and massacre villages and towns. She only had one less photoshoot and was ostracized by the News of the World.
For people in this world, news serves those who have power. For those without power, news only gives them a slightly higher probability of survival.
Isika's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she still couldn't say the harsh words. After a long silence, he finally let out a nasal sound.
"Hmm~"
Then Isika seemed to have opened some kind of shackles in an instant, and the whole person suddenly became calmer. "Yes, they are all people who need to be protected by the Navy, and their family members may even be the Navy. But..." "Is there any way, Hai We can still resist the thief, but..."
The Celestial Dragons cannot resist!
There are many cases of resistance to the Celestial Dragons, but at the end of each case there is despair written in blood.
Suddenly Isika realized something, and there was a hint of surprise on her face, "You...are not from the revolutionary army, are you?!"
"Revolutionary Army. We are not."
Kona didn't know when she quietly appeared beside the two of them. She glanced at Dorothea who was still rescuing people in the cabin and Bella who was maintaining order and clicked without leaving a trace. nod. Then he continued to look at Isika.
"If you want to say that, we should be at the same level as the Revolutionary Army. Yuyuko's men established an organization 'Arashi', which, like the Revolutionary Army, is a revolutionary organization that overthrows the world government and wipes out the Celestial Dragons. Currently, it is the same as the Revolutionary Army. The military is an alliance."
Listening to Kona's words, Iska's pupils kept shrinking, and she was extremely horrified. "How is it possible? We don't know any news about a revolutionary organization that can be equal to the revolutionary army."
"Qi~ If the Navy and the World Government find out, we don't have to hide it all the time."
Qishi called out to Kona, "Sister Kona, can you tell her about this?"
Kona glanced at Nanami and said, "You don't know?" Then Kona responded, "That's right. Of course you and Yuyuko haven't spoken to each other. Of course you don't know about this."
"Eh..." Qishi scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Forget it, let's not talk about the matter between you and Yuyuko. You can find time to resolve it yourself. Let's get back to it." "Yuyuko has decided to let her stay at Zeus Base, so telling her now is not a big problem."
"This...isn't appropriate."
"Mina felt she could believe it."
Qishi shut up instantly.
Mina's intuition has always been terrible, and coupled with her terrible wealth, everyone has always regarded her as a person favored by the gods. (Of course, this god is not a Celestial Dragon.) She said there is no problem, then there is no problem.
It can be said that Mina's endorsement is the most valuable among the Flying Flower Pirates. Second only to Kona and Yuyuko.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you first. I'm going to get on board the Dabai."
"Won't you help?"
Kona gave Nanami a shudder, "Let's settle the matter between you and Yuyuko first. Besides," "I'm going to prepare food..."
In order to prevent the captured slaves from resisting and escaping as much as possible, those people were extremely hungry. And food was also an important means for those people to domesticate slaves. Simple, but it can make people give up everything for the sake of survival to the greatest extent, and then step by step towards the dark abyss of eternal silence. She had already seen too many of these things when she destroyed Chun Zhan's bases.
Tears flowed down from Isika's eyes unsatisfactorily. She fell to the ground but didn't want to get up at all.
It's not that I'm afraid of my future, but that I'm not worthy of the justice I have to bear. Not worth it for the navies who sacrifice their blood and lives to protect civilians on the sea.
The true despair of a person is not to stand in the abyss and look into the light. But being surrounded by light but seeing darkness in his eyes. Even if there is light, it is still a dark world. This powerlessness is the real despair...
A hand was placed on Isika's shoulder. It's Youyouzi.
"Don't be sad. What the navy did is not meaningless. At least... you still believe in justice, don't you?"
At this moment, Isika's eyes were hazy, as if she saw a god coming in front of her.
She thought of her own weakness and powerlessness in the face of all this, and couldn't help but ask.
"Is even this feeble justice worthy of belief?"
Youyouzi smiled slightly. A sentence comes to mind: "The heart that believes is magic." Only by believing in miracles can we create miracles.
Therefore, Youyouzi said without hesitation.
"Of course, a righteous heart that believes is righteous."
In Iska's eyes, at this moment, she became light.
Then Youyouzi kicked Qishi away.
"Idiot Qishi, if you don't hurry up and help, how long have you been watching the show, you bastard!"
Yuyouzi finally spoke first.
