Aoki used the fruit's ability to free the woman in the cage. After taking a moment to look at the woman who was being treated as a slave, Aoki felt that the woman's temperament was really outstanding.
Obviously, women who can cultivate this kind of temperament must have very good family conditions, and such people must not be sold by their families. As for the children who were originally slaves? This situation is simply not possible.
Aokiji, who sensed that this woman's origin might also be a breakthrough, couldn't help but feel a little urgent in his tone.
"My name is Nicole Olbia, and I am a crew member on the expedition ship."
"Our ship was attacked by pirates. My companions narrowly escaped, but..."
"I was caught here by pirates."
Nicole Olbia slowly walked out of the "ice cage" and answered Aokiji's questions in a very logical manner, and her tone did not seem to be at all affected by Aokiji's Devil Fruit ability. of surprise.
The other party seems to be no stranger to Devil Fruit abilities.
"Pirates...as expected!"
Qingzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this. As expected, this Luoluo Chamber of Commerce was related to pirates.
Just when Aokiji was about to continue questioning, Enichi Tsukuni and Cyrus, who had already dealt with the guards, walked up to Aokiji. Yuanyi's eyes fell on Olbia and asked first:
"You said your name is Nicole Orbia?"
"Where is your hometown?"
When Yuanyi heard the other person's last name, he finally understood why he felt a strong sense of familiarity when he looked at the other person. Looking at the other person's face, Ji Guoyuan's memories buried deep in his mind were awakened.
This woman named Nicole Olbia overlapped with the appearance of the Nicole Robin in his memory.
Except for some differences in hair color and hairstyle, the woman in front of me is basically the same model as Nicole Robin!
"Hometown? O'Hara in the West Sea." Nicole Olbia did not lie to Aokiji and the others. In addition to being grateful to the three sailors who saved her, Nicole Olbia also felt grateful. An inexplicable trust arose.
Hearing the name O'Hara, Qingzhi and Cyrus were slightly stunned.
There is no other reason than that O'Hara's reputation is so great.
Even though he was born in the New World and entered the arena early as a teenager, Cyrus had heard of O'Hara's name.
The legendary island of archeology, a gathering place of wisdom, is home to a group of the most prestigious archaeological scholars in the world.
"O'Hara! That's right, this guy just said you were a scholar."
"You are actually from O'Hara! But why are the scholars of O'Hara... why are you on the adventure ship?"
Qingzhi patted the auction host who had turned into an ice sculpture next to him, and remembered some of the information that the other party had just introduced to Orbia, with a clear look on his face.
But soon, Aokiji had new doubts. As far as he knew, O'Hara had the richest collection of archeology books in the world. Although it is said to be an archeology book, there are many subdivisions in the subject of archeology. Including but not limited to ancient medicine, ancient technology, etc.
O'Hara's library of books would take a lifetime of learning even for the brightest minds. Qing Pheasant didn't understand why a scholar would board an adventure ship.
"I'm a little tired of the boring research life and want to experience a different life."
Nicole Olbia did not tell the truth this time. The purpose of going to sea with her companions was to find the historical text and explore the truth of the blank 100 years! But Nicole Olbia is not a fool. She knows what this matter means. No matter how much she trusts or is grateful to the savior in front of her, she cannot tell the truth.
"I see..." Aokiji had no doubts about Nicole Olbia's answer. He thought it was very reasonable. If he was asked to face those boring historical documents every day, he would go crazy.
Like all young people, Qing Zhi doesn't like reading.
Yuanyi listened for a while, and after hearing Nicole Olbia say that she went to sea because she was bored, he smiled silently and did not expose her.
He didn't stay here any longer. Unlike Qing Zhi, Yuan Yike still remembered what he was doing here.
After sensing the place where the slaves were imprisoned with his knowledge and knowledge, Ji Guoyuan slashed open the ground with his sword and flew down directly along the cracks made.
Directly below the venue is a very large basement, and in this basement, there are countless cages of different sizes, holding countless slaves waiting to be auctioned.
As soon as Ji Guoyuan landed on the ground, he looked around and saw dozens of cages.
The slaves in the cage include young people, old people, children, and women. When the slaves heard the noise, they raised their heads indifferently. There was no curiosity or surprise in their eyes, only... deep despair.
The moment Ji Guoyuan saw these eyes, his expression darkened. Holding the long knife at his waist firmly with one hand, he took a deep breath and said to the slaves in the cage:
"I am a lieutenant commander in the Navy Headquarters, and I am the successor to Yui Kuni."
"You...are free."
As he spoke, Ji Guoyuan quickly drew out his long sword, and in the blink of his breath, he slashed out hundreds of swords. The terrifying light of the sword filled the entire basement in an instant, and the cages holding these slaves were in this place. It completely shattered in an instant, and the steel pillars fell to the ground, making a "tinging, clanging, clanging" sound.
A long time...a long time.
The pupils of the slaves were focused, and their indifferent and desperate eyes finally showed different emotions.
It's surprise, it's ecstasy.
"Since...free?!"
"The Navy...the Navy actually came to rescue us?!"
"Hahahaha! Free...free!!!"
"How is it possible...how is this possible? We...we were sold here by the navy. How could the navy come to rescue us?"
The slaves rushed out of the cage one after another, cheering loudly, some cried with joy, some knelt on the ground and screamed to the sky, and some murmured in disbelief, as if they had heard some fantasy.
Ji Guoyuanyi immediately heard some unusual sounds, his expression slightly condensed, and he disappeared from the place in a flash.
"How is it possible? How is it possible?!"
"How could the Navy come to rescue slaves? Obviously...obviously those guys...those guys are..."
A shirtless young man was kneeling on the ground, leaning on the ground with his hands, muttering in disbelief. The young man's body was covered with whip marks, some were new wounds, and some were already scabbed.
His name is Monk, he is 15 years old, and he was originally a soldier of the 133rd branch of the Navy...
Navy saves slaves? Munch seemed to have heard something that ruined his outlook on life. His fists were clenched, his nails were embedded in his flesh, his eyes were red, and his face was full of ferocity.
"Did you...be sold here by the navy?"
Suddenly, a young voice fell into Munch's ears.
Looking up, Munch saw a red-haired boy standing in front of him. The boy was frowning. The red hair and the flame-like markings on his forehead were so bright and dazzling in the dark basement. .
"yes!"
"I was sold here by the Navy! Those beasts of the Navy..."
Munch suddenly roared fiercely, and his resentment seemed to have found an outlet and poured out.
Suddenly, Munch looked stunned and held back the curse words that came to his mouth.
As soon as Ji Guoyuan walked up to Meng, he stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Meng's shoulder, whispering:
"Who are they?"
"I'll take you... to kill them!"
Munch's anger and resentment disappeared at this moment. His hands firmly grasped Jiguo Yuanyi's trouser legs, his cheek was buried in Yuanyi's leg, and he howled...
