Unlike pirates, it is basically difficult for these slave traders to receive bounties, firstly because they are hidden, and secondly because the slave business is spearheaded by the Celestial Dragons and cannot be controlled.
Therefore, the slave traders had no choice but to kill Youyouzi.
Of course, there is no need for the slave owners who are buyers, but at this moment, it is not yet time to raise the banner and turn the world upside down. Those who help the perpetrators are sometimes more evil than the perpetrators.
Only a few minutes passed before Xia Jie told everything he knew.
If he met other people, he might still struggle, but when he met the Flying Flower Pirates brought by Yuyuko, he lost his heart to resist. It’s not that no one is trying to move Shan Ji’s mountain, but in the dark world, Shan Ji’s bounty has been pushed up to 1.5 billion beli. If there is accurate information about the bounty Shan Ji obtained, this bounty can be Reaching two billion beli.
The bounties in the Dark World are not like those of the World Government. In the end, you can only get about 600-700 million for one billion Baileys, while the Dark World can basically get 90%. It's just that in the dark world, except for assassination missions, there are rarely large bounties.
The reward of two billion is already a treatment that only the deputy of the Yonko can have.
And there is another point. The giants of the dark world are all smart people. They will not increase the bounty due to civilian casualties and other factors. Each bounty only cares about two points, the assessment of its own strength and the assessment of the interests behind it. .
1.5 billion is the assessment of Shan Ji's strength, which shows how high the evaluation of her strength is.
"I thought I could catch big fish, but it turned out to be just shrimps..."
Reijiu waved her hands and was speechless. She originally thought that this was a submarine of this size, and that it was a big fish that knew a lot. However, when she asked questions, she didn't know. She opened her mouth and shut up because her elder brother was in contact. The co-author is just a little brother who follows along to run errands.
Of course, it’s not that no information was asked, including some transaction address information. With this information, we can probably follow the clues and catch some big fish.
After sorting out the information in her mind, Leijiu asked Keya to help imprison Xia Jie. Until the information is confirmed to be true and valid, it will still have value.
In the warehouse on the other side, Dorothea kept using her fruit power to open holes in the iron cages. It was much more convenient to open the holes than looking for keys or something, while Nanami at the door kept opening holes in the iron cages. Ya and Bella freed the slaves and moved outside to do some head counting.
These people looked numb, and they felt as confused as if they were still in a dream when they were suddenly rescued. Even the scorching heat of the sun made them feel unreal.
Only a few people who had been captured for a short time had their eyes flashed with light, and their eyes were filled with tears of rebirth after the disaster. However, they were all so skinny from hunger that it was difficult for them to shout loudly, their throats were dry. My throat feels hot even when I move dumbly. How can I give more water if I don't give them enough food? That is an important maritime resource.
"Hey, there's actually one here who's not in a cage."
Bella found Charlotte huddled in the corner and shaking.
Dorothea frowned and pulled Bailey, who was about to step forward, "He doesn't look like a slave." At least it could be seen from his clothes and fingers.
"No, don't look at me, no! No! Please don't look at me like this!"
The person huddled in the dark corner buried his head and prayed in pain, his voice was painful, fearful, and regretful.
This situation made Dorothea frown rarely. According to her years of medical practice, this situation should not be fake. However, to be safe, she still cautiously approached and raised the man's head. When she met the pair of cloudy eyes, Dorothea sighed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take him out and lock him up first. He must have fallen into his own illusion due to some stimulation. Let's ask Xia Jie outside when he wakes up."
…
Charlotte looked at the bustling shampoo area around her with dull eyes, but her eyes were locked on the figure not far away who had a collar around his neck and shackles on his feet.
"Guna!"
A tentative voice sounded from behind Charlotte, and a Charlotte who was much cleaner and neater than he was now appeared. He looked at the figure in disbelief that gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
The figure that was dragging its shackles slowly forward suddenly paused, and then continued walking forward.
In front of that figure was a bloated fat man. He was talking to someone and didn't hear the movement behind him.
That Charlotte walked up quickly, but her expression became paler.
When he looked at the girl, his whole body had turned into a stone statue.
The girl turned her head and glanced at Charlotte. A ray of light in her eyes, which were as hollow as abyss, flickered like the last spark in the ashes, but there was not even a ripple.
Showing an imperceptible smile, "Sorry, you made a mistake." As she said that, the girl plucked her hair to cover the left side of her face and continued walking forward as before, towards the end of the collar on her neck... that bloated fat pig. .
Just at the moment when the hair passed by, Charlotte saw the crescent-like mark on the girl's ear, and her whole face was instantly stunned.
The fist in his hand continued to relax and tremble but was not clenched in the end. It hung down weakly, accompanied by his person. He slumped on the roadside like a corpse. I don't know how long it took before I climbed up and staggered away in the direction I came from.
The scene changed, and dozens of girls appeared in front of Charlotte's eyes. They knelt down and prayed humbly. The flickering fire in their eyes flickered on and off, and finally lost their luster as if they were hit by the cold wind.
At that time, his heart only had weak waves. After a few simple breaths, it became calm because of the interests behind it.
But, facing such eyes again at this moment...
Charlotte instantly remembered the last spark among the girl's ashes.
He understood that his cry evoked the girl's last persistence, and that smile was not a mask but the last happiness.
She still has herself in her heart as before, and she is also like that, just... just...
In the heart sealed by his own money, the dark sky was torn open with a big mouth, and a pair of eyes hung in the sky watching him. Then the sky shattered and countless pairs of eyes opened from the darkness.
At this moment, Charlotte was extremely frightened. She held her head and rolled herself into a ball, whispering in a daze.
"No, don't look at me, no! No! Please don't look at me like this!"
"don't want!"
"don't want……"
………
The story finally reached Yuyouzi's ears.
Under the throne, Reikuona did not speak, and they left the choice of this matter to Yuyuko.
Although this story sounds like there are many coincidences, there are not many stories of this type.
The husband went out to sea to fish, and when he came back, his wife and daughter disappeared. After many years of searching, he found that when he met again, his wife and daughter were already slaves of others.
In addition to wives and daughters, they may also be brothers, comrades, children, friends, benefactors, etc. There are so many such things that it is difficult to count.
The reasons and purposes of many people joining the "Lan" organization are recorded in the member book of the "Lan" organization.
Revenge is the main purpose, and among the reasons, nearly 5% of the family members become slaves of the Celestial Dragons. The reason why those people were able to follow Youyouzi's strategy and endure it all the time was because they knew that their revenge was too difficult. If it were before, they might have been able to live powerlessly and make some painless resistance, but 'Lan' gave their likelihood of success.
They like to read "Quotations of the Leader" silently in their spare time, just for that glimmer of hope.
However, this Charlotte is different from those 'Lan' warriors. He himself is one of the slave criminals. This deserved sympathy also turned into unworthy sympathy for him. Even if the soldiers of the 'Lan' organization come to see it, they will definitely feel very happy.
Those who kill will always be killed.
Those who kidnap others as slaves, and if such an encounter happens, everyone will just shout loudly and say hello, and talk about the cycle of retribution.
Just like the rescued people below who are eating porridge.
There is no sympathy when hearing such stories, only happiness. The way they looked like their appetites increased after hearing this story couldn't lie.
Youyouzi was also thinking.
For a long time, Yuyuko asked, "Is that girl named Guna...still alive?"
Xia Jie was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized something. If he directly sentenced the third brother to death, there would be no such question.
He nodded excitedly, "She's alive, she's alive. Although the third brother was heartbroken at first, my eldest brother and I couldn't bear it, so we planned to snatch it out. So we checked it out. It was an ordinary noble family with some money. , but there are many guards at home.”
"That's it~" Youyouzi sighed, finally feeling determined.
In fact, Yuyouzi immediately thought of a template for such a thing.
Of course, it's not a good template.
Gold Emperor Gilder Tezzolo.
In the past two years, Tezzolo's luxury entertainment city has become more and more famous, and because of Doflamingo's alliance, it has successfully intervened into the chaos of the dark world.
Tezoro once fell in love with Stella, a woman in the slave shop, and even shot at the Draco after learning that Stella had been bought by the Draco.
But after being rescued by Fisher, his heart gradually became the same as that of the Celestial Dragon.
Of course, it is also possible that he is too close to Doflamingo, a former Celestial Dragon. After all, these two people are not thinking about good things, and their styles of doing things are also the same. Dover hates the Celestial Dragons because of his youth, while Tezolo is the same as Dover because of Stella's matter, except that Dover just wants to destroy the world, while Tezolo wants to enslave the Celestial Dragons.
But as I said, this is a wrong case. The correct case should be to change one's mind and become a person like Dover who intends to subvert the world. Of course, the point of destroying the world should be removed and replaced with rebuilding a new world.
Of course, it was not Youyouzi's plan that made Youyouzi make such a choice, but simply because Youyouzi felt that Xia Luo could still be saved.
Death does not put an end to error, but an ellipsis.
The suffering he has caused will not end but will continue. Only by resolving these mistakes and completing atonement can it end. Maybe there will be a new life.
After all, the Buddha said: Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.
Of course, putting down the butcher's knife will not directly lead to Buddhahood. It is just the skill of mouth escape. What really makes people become Buddhas is the atonement they need to make after putting down the butcher's knife. It’s not about praying to Buddha and chanting sutras every day, it’s about resolving one’s own mistakes and doing more good deeds.
So Youyouzi is ready to give Charlotte a chance, a chance to start a new life.
Those who repent can eventually be saved.
Of course there is another point.
Then the theory of traitor and bravery.
The Qing army in Blue Star used this trick when they entered the pass, allowing the surrendered Han army to be the vanguard. In order to show their loyalty and draw a line between the past, they would be more brave and fearless than before.
This is why many people like to let the surrendered and reorganized troops go first during a war. First, they are cannon fodder, and second, they surrender their names.
Xia Luo could no longer work as a slave trader because of Guna. From Xia Jie's description, it can be heard that he wanted to release the captured people many times. It can be said that he has completed the process of abandoning darkness and turning to light under the torture of his own psychology. Now all you need to do is give him a gun and shoot back at the slave traders.
As for what allowed him to unswervingly complete this career.
This is the reason why Yuyouzi mentioned Guna's survival.
It was this woman who supported him back on the right path. So as long as this woman is still alive or even rescued, the pillar in his heart will not fall, and he will always be the vanguard.
Although this feels a bit like playing with people's hearts, but...
There is no distinction between right and wrong weapons. If you use them for good, you will be evil, and if you use them for evil, you will be good. The key is the person who uses them.
After thinking about all this, Youyouzi rubbed his forehead.
"Okay, I understand. I can let him go, but that's because he wants to repent. I will give him this chance, but..." "I hope you won't disappoint me~"
As you spoke, Youyouzi glanced across Xia Jie, the power in his eyes was as sharp as a sharp blade, terrifying.
"As for you! After you go and kill those guys who are trading with you...you can take matters into your own hands."
