Chapter 251 Catwoman
On Judiciary Island, there is a special triangular current between Marinefando and Impel Down City. Through this current, ships can quickly travel to and from the three places. However, today, these three places have undergone earth-shaking changes. Among them, Impel Down City, The former deep-sea prison is now completely abandoned.
Riding on the triangular current, the fleet of the Blackthorn Flower Merchant Guild quickly approached Marinefando, which was their destination this time. Although Sean has now controlled Benoit through hypnosis, he will not do it unless necessary. To interfere with the operation of the fleet, this place is still too close to Marigio, and he needs to keep a low profile.
Malinfando, more than 200 years ago, was the headquarters of the world's largest violent organization, the World Navy. Now it has a new name, called the Country of Peace, also called the Country of Equality.
Crash, the waves hit the shore, and fine white waves bloomed. With the special current, it didn't take long for Marine Fando to appear in front of Sean and others.
Time is a ruthless thing. 200 years have passed and Marineland has changed. Fortunately, before the decisive battle broke out, the navy's headquarters had moved away from Marineland, so this place was relatively less affected by the war. It is much smaller, and some things are still vaguely left, such as the mottled city wall.
"this place·······"
Walking at the base of the city wall, stroking the marks on the wall, Sean looked a little gloomy. In his previous life, he had a special affection for this place. Unfortunately, the only thing left here now is the endangered old city wall.
Following Sean, although they didn't understand Sean's feelings, Mengka and Yoder didn't say anything and just followed quietly. As for Benoit, he went to deal with some matters of the Chamber of Commerce and the Black Thorn Flower fleet. The reason for taking a detour here is for business.
The Country of Peace is an ideal country established by the remnants of the revolutionary army. There is no class or oppression here. Everyone is equal.
The reputation of the Revolutionary Army was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it caused a huge sensation when the country of peace was first established. Many people from other countries risked their lives to escape from their original countries and settle here.
At the beginning, thanks to the influence of the revolutionary army, the country of peace did have a brief period of prosperity. People shed hard work here and received happy smiles. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as living and working in peace and contentment.
However, the reason why the Utopia is called the Utopia is because it is unrealistic to a certain extent. A peaceful country emphasizes equality for everyone and has no rulers in any sense. This seems to be a good thing for civilians. , because they finally no longer have to accept exploitation, but this means that this country does not have an effective governance system.
The good days did not last long. When the initial passion and beauty were exhausted,
Problems occurred frequently in the Country of Peace, and desires began to breed in dark corners. In addition, various countries later targeted the country, making the development of the Country of Peace even more difficult.
As time went by, when the concept of the revolutionary army was completely forgotten by people, the country of peace also had another name, that is, the poorest country.
The most unbelievable thing is that the largest pillar industry of this free country, which claimed that everyone is equal when the country was founded, is actually human trafficking, also known as the slave trade.
Wandering on the street, looking at the civilians who were half-clothed, with sallow faces and numb eyes, the expressions of Sean and the three of them did not change at all. Leaving aside Sean, Mengka and Yoder, as Tianlong people, were there. Marie Joa's life was no better than these people's, and was even worse, so they didn't fundamentally feel that there was anything wrong with these people's living conditions.
"Don't miss it if you pass by. Come and take a look. They are all freshly baked goods."
Since this street is close to the dock, it is relatively lively. At this time, a special feeling caught Sean's attention.
Walking towards the noisy place, Mengka walked in front to separate the crowd for Sean.
On a simple high platform built of wood, a black-skinned slave trader with rotten teeth and gold and silver was introducing his goods, which were slaves, to everyone with saliva.
In the country of peace, the large-scale slave business is in the hands of gangs and families. Others who want to get involved in this business can only do casual work, just like this black businessman.
"Everyone, I assure you that these guys are fresh goods, now you can bid, remember I only accept gold and silver."
As the black-skinned businessman finished speaking, a dozen strong men armed with swords and guns led a group of slaves under the high platform, like animals for interested people to inspect.
"Go and bring the girl over."
After seeing and hearing the color, and once again confirming that his perception was correct, Sean pointed at the slave girl with withered yellow hair, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who was bound by a rope.
After getting Sean's signal, Yoder immediately walked over and bought the slave girl from the black leather merchant.
The world government collapsed more than 200 years ago, and the Bailey currency system based on the hegemony of the world government also collapsed. In recent years, many powerful forces have tried to build a new world currency system with themselves as the main body. Unfortunately, no one has ever It was so successful that today, two hundred years later, the hard currency used in transactions has once again turned into real money.
"Boss."
Holding the slave girl, Yoder came to Sean.
Before being reincarnated into the world of pirates, Sean's sight color had various characteristics, but after reincarnation, the sight color inspired by Mels' body did not have any special features except that the range was slightly wider. Until today .
At this moment, in Sean's perception, the filthy and timid slave girl had a different appearance. Although her clothes and expression were the same, her appearance had undergone a huge change. Her bright green vertical pupils, Pointed ears and a long tail.
"A user with devil fruit abilities? Animal type, normal species, cat fruit, long-tailed cat form."
After getting closer and sensing it carefully, the name of this Devil Fruit naturally appeared in Sean's mind.
"So is this the characteristic of my body's domineering power? Is it because of my own influence or something? What should I call this characteristic? The devil's whisper?"
As thoughts swirled in his mind, a smile formed on the corners of Sean's lips.
Seeing Sean's smile, the slave girl couldn't help but take a few steps back. She was born to be a timid person, even timid than a cat. Otherwise, with the ability of the animal devil fruit, even if she had not experienced Systematic training will prevent her from becoming a low-level slave.
