Arceus' Pirate Journey

Some human traffickers will even capture pirates, and many will buy powerful pirates. For example, the Celestial Dragons like to buy those pirates as their mounts.

The exploding collar on the slave's neck is a guarantee. With it, the slave cannot escape or resist, and even death is a luxury.

Chapter 268: Money and Status, Power and Truth

The next day, Taizuolo worked in the shipyard with excitement. Although there were some bruises on his face, he was still very enthusiastic. Even his co-workers around him didn't know why he was so happy.

However, those people were not very familiar with Taizuolo. His previous experience had taught him a truth: money can buy friends, but money can also lose friends. He was working hard to save money.

He never went to social gatherings or parties among his coworkers, so naturally he had no feelings for them.

In the evening, he received his wages from his boss as he wished, and immediately ran to No. 1 Red Tree, where the population auction and the population market were located.

In the cage, a blonde woman with a metal collar around her neck was looking into the distance. She was Stella, Tezulo's greatest spiritual support, and she was also waiting for Tezulo.

Because of the need to make money, Tezulo is very busy, but he comes here to visit Stella every few days, telling her what he has seen and heard during these days, and confiding in each other.

"Stella! I've saved enough money!"

Tai Zuoluo, who ran over, couldn't wait to tell Stella about his achievements before he could even catch his breath.

"Tomorrow, as soon as this place opens tomorrow, I will set you free!"

"Your face...what did you do?" Stella was also excited to hear that Tezuolo had saved enough money, but she was more concerned about why Tezuolo was injured.

"No problem, I had a fight with a human trafficker and I met a very interesting girl. Let me tell you..."

Tezulo told Stella about his encounter with Yamato, but omitted the danger he encountered. Then he quietly opened his bulging clothes, revealing Bailey hiding inside.

600 million Baileys, this is the selling price of Stella, and it is also the result of three years of hard work by Taizulo. He does all the heavy work, and even if he wants to save money, he has to protect his body. If he falls down, it will be really over.

So he had some expenses during these three years, but most of them were saved in this way.

"That's a good girl. I have to thank her later."

"Well, after we pay back the money, let's go to the West Sea. I heard there is an island there..."

The lights of the human shop were shining above, and Stella and Tezulo stayed up all night, dreaming about the future, but when the next day came, the boss here was late.

Today is the day of the auction, and he went there to prepare some things. When he just came back here, Tai Zuo Luo ran directly to him.

"I want to buy her!"

There were some bloodshot in Taizuolo's eyes, and he pointed at Stella with a slightly trembling finger, his tone full of excitement, and then handed the six million to the man.

"Have you really saved enough money?"

The owner of the sales shop looked at Taizuolo in disbelief. He didn't expect that this man could save enough money. He often chatted with Stella in front of his shop, so he naturally knew of this man's existence.

He originally thought that Tai Zuo Luo was just a loser who only knew how to dream, but he didn't expect that he could actually do it.

"What a pity! If you had come a few days earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Arrest him!" The boss who took the money suddenly turned hostile and ordered his men to arrest Taizuolo.

"what are you doing?!"

"What? You stole my money, so of course I have to arrest you."

"What nonsense are you talking about! That's the money I saved for three years, you bastard!"

Tai Zuo Luo wanted to rush forward angrily, but he was no match for the two bodyguards there and was pinned to the ground.

The reason he just gave was for the people around him. Although this is an illegal area, as a boss he still has to give some reason if he arrests someone, otherwise his business will not be able to continue.

Then he squatted down and said to Tai Zuo Luo: "Of course I know you have saved money for three years. It is because you are poor and powerless that I dare to do this. Unfortunately, if you had done it half a month earlier, I would have sold her to you, but she has already been reserved by the Tianlong people."

Stella is a very special commodity here. Six million Baileys can buy a woman as beautiful and talented as her.

He put Stella out there and set such a price because he didn't want her to be bought easily. This is his advertisement, making outsiders think that he has a lot of high-quality goods.

Most people can't afford this money, and those who can afford it don't want to be taken advantage of. They didn't expect to meet an outlier like Taizuolo.

Just as he said, under normal circumstances he would have sold Stella to him, as he still had to be honest, but a while ago a Celestial Dragon's servant came to make an appointment for Stella and said he would come to pick her up next month.

That Celestial Dragon had a hobby of taking the goods away personally, and he didn't have time to come here now, so he had no choice. He couldn't possibly disobey the Celestial Dragon.

As for why he wanted to arrest Taizuolo, it was because he couldn't bear to part with the six million Baileys.

"Asshole! You asshole!"

Taizulo struggled to get up, but he was unable to resist the strength of the two men.

"Don't resist, kid. You're not a world noble. Just accept your fate, kid."

If I had more money, a higher position, more power...

The scene of yesterday emerged in his mind. Whether it was Yamato's casualness in taking out hundreds of thousands of Baileys, or his skill in knocking down the enemy with one stick, he could never forget it.

Money, power, status, he longed for those things that did not belong to him, but now he was powerless.

"Put the collar on him." Upon hearing this, his men took out an explosive collar and intended to put it around Tezulo's neck. Tezulo tried to resist, but it was of no use.

"hateful...."

"Tezoro! What are you doing?!" Stella in the iron cage didn't understand why this happened, but the restraints of the cage made her helpless. She had no idea that she had been reserved.

"Let him go!

"

At this moment, a clear roar came from the side, and Yamato looked at this place with anger on his face.

Today is the day the auction begins, so Yamato and the others naturally came here as well, and happened to see this scene.

Of course he wouldn't listen to a little kid, but the Hundred Beasts looked numerous and powerful, so they certainly couldn't treat them the same way they treated Taizuolo.

However, since he was able to open a population market in No. 1 Red Tree, he certainly had his own power behind him and he had no intention of being afraid.

"What? What does it have to do with you if I catch a thief myself? Don't meddle in other people's business, kid."

"He's not a thief! I borrowed some of his money!"

"You said that if you borrowed it, it's yours? Did you write your name on the money?" The owner of the human market had a look of disdain on his face. He had no intention of giving away the money he had earned, but Yamato's answer surprised him.

"Yes! If you don't believe me, take out the money. There are thirty of them with my name on them!"

In order to prove his ownership of the New Year's money, Yamato asked Tutu dog to mark it. It can be said that the pattern is unique. The owner of the population market did not expect that there is such a trick and did not know what to say for a moment.

But he suddenly realized a problem. What was there to explain between him and a little kid?

"Whether he is a thief or not is not up to you. I have the final say here. Go home quickly."

The quarrel here caused many security guards of the human trafficking market to come out. They were not the human traffickers. Their sophisticated armor and weapons made them difficult to deal with. Facing these people, Yamato felt that he might not be their match.

"Godfather, can you help me?"

"You can help others within your ability, but if what you want to do now is beyond your ability, then you are causing trouble for others. Unless you have a reasonable reason, I will not help you."

Yamato is a little naive, and he doesn't mind Yamato being a good person, but there must be a limit, and he cannot unconditionally harm the interests of his relatives and friends for the sake of others.

"Well... he owes me three hundred thousand. If he's arrested like this, there's no one left to pay him back."

"The reason is ordinary but barely acceptable. Sha Yinna, bring the person back."

Chapter 269: You gave a good reminder, so let’s just silence him

"As ordered."

After receiving the order, Sha Yinna appeared in front of Tai Zuo Luo in an instant, and kicked the two people who were suppressing Tai Zuo Luo aside with a sweeping move. There was no need for fire or skills, even the pure leg strength was not enough for them to withstand it.

Sha Yinna kicked them directly in the head. The huge impact force exceeded the upper limit of the neck. During the flight, the necks of the two people were twisted into knots. It was obvious that they were not going to survive.

At the same time, she picked up the owner of the population market. Although she was only three meters tall and looked a little small compared to the others, she was still a giant to this ordinary owner.

"You...what are you going to do!"

Sha Yinna didn't say anything, but took a bunch of keys from his waist and then threw him out. Tai Zuoluo still had an explosive collar on his neck. Of course, he had to do things more perfectly and not just do what he was told.

Since Arceus' order is to bring Tezulo back, then things like the keys must of course be taken care of.

Then she picked up Taizulo and put him back on the ground. After being beaten up, he didn't seem to have the strength to unlock the door by himself. Yamato was trying the keys one by one.

"Stella... Please, help me bring Stella out..."

The movement of his mouth while he was speaking affected the wound on his face. Those people had just hit him in the face. He was just an ordinary man and naturally did not need to pay attention to such things.

"Please, I'll pay anything for it..."

He raised his hand with all his strength and grabbed Yamato's wrist. The experience just now made him understand one thing: money alone is useless. If one only has money but does not have the power to protect it, then he will be a lamb to be slaughtered in the hands of others.

Power, strength, money, only when you have these in one can you do what you want in this world.

"Okay, I promise you, but you have to work for us in the future."

This is Yamato's nature. She is different from Kaido. Although Kaido acts recklessly, he will also consider the interests and make choices.

Yamato believed that what she did was right. She did not consider her own interests when doing this, but just followed her heart, so she agreed to Taizulo's request.

She didn't know Taizuolo's life trajectory. From her point of view, the most he could gain was the gratitude of two people and two ordinary people.

The last sentence was the result of Arceus' education. There were too many unfair things in this world. It would be impossible for her to interfere in all matters, so he asked her to consider other aspects more.

"Godfather, is this okay..."

"Of course you can, but the intensity of your training will have to be gradually increased. Even if you can't reach your father's strength, you have to at least reach Manderfesh's level, so that you don't always have to rely on outsiders."

When Sha Yinna heard what was said here, she walked towards Stella before anyone told her to. She was imprisoned in just an ordinary iron cage. It could imprison an ordinary person, but it was useless for someone like Sha Yinna.

She broke a hole in the railing that was as thick as her wrist, and at this moment, the frightened voice of the owner of the population market was heard.

"Stop! That woman is the cargo reserved by the Celestial Dragons. Do you want to die?"

His men were kicked away and he was thrown out as well. This happened to him and made him extremely angry, but he soon calmed down.

He was well aware of how much hatred his business had for others, so his two bodyguards were very skilled. Even pirates with a bounty of 10 or 20 million were no match for them. The identity of the other party, who could kick them away, must be very powerful.

The most important thing in his line of work is to know who to offend and who not to offend.

The Great Pirate Era gave birth to more and more powerful men, but there were only a few with bounties exceeding 1 billion, and most of these men had their own striking characteristics, such as Arceus' appearance.

He didn't pay attention at first, but after being thrown out, he quickly remembered the other party's identity. The identities of Sha Yinna and Olga, two cadres with a bounty of over 100 million, also surfaced.

He could never have imagined that a man like Taizuolo was actually related to these people. This was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

"You can do whatever you want with the man, I'll double the money you've earned, but you can't do that with the woman!"

If the celestial dragons don't see their goods when they come here, their fate will be miserable, and they will probably be turned into slaves.

His obstruction naturally had no effect. Sha Yinna was just following Arceus' orders and could not be disturbed by such external forces.

"Aren't you afraid of the revenge of the Celestial Dragons?"

These words did make Sha Yinna stop temporarily, and then she moved her palm towards the railing, and a section of the railing was held in her hand like a javelin.

"You talk a lot of nonsense, but you are right about one thing. There are too many troubles with those bugs of the Celestial Dragons."

"Stinky..bug?! How dare you talk like that!"

"Why not? Sooner or later I will crush all those scums to death." The Lunalia tribe used to live on the Red Earth Continent. The Celestial Dragons were their enemies, so of course she would not have any fear for them.

At this time, the owner of the population market suddenly realized something. This group of people thought the Celestial Dragons were troublesome, but they hated them, and at the same time they were doing things that would make the Celestial Dragons angry.

If they don't want to get into trouble, the best way is for no one to know about it, and the only people who know about it here are themselves.

"Wait..."

"stop!"

Before he could say anything, Sha Yinna weighed the railing in her hand and threw it directly towards him. There was flame on the iron railing, and the sharp-edged "spear head" directly nailed him through.

"If all of you die, won't anyone know what happened?"

This is a lawless area, and it is common for a few people to die here.

Even though ordinary members had the logo of the Beasts Pirates on their clothes, they still encountered a lot of minor troubles on the way here. There were always newcomers who were not afraid of death and wanted to challenge the combat power of the new world.

"Master Holy Beast, please go to the auction first. We will take care of this."

After getting Stella out, Sha Yinna had no intention of leaving. The so-called aftermath is not just a simple matter of silencing. It is not enough to just eliminate the people who know the truth. The relationships behind being able to open a population market here are not simple.

She had a lot of things to deal with, including clearing traces and creating chaos. At the same time, Olga was also left behind, and her illusion ability could play a big role.

Not long after Arceus and his men left, a raging fire broke out in the population market...
