The Great Voyage: A Family of Two Swordsmen, the Younger Brother is Golden Lion

He looked at the maid with dissatisfaction.

The maid immediately knelt before the officer.

Snapped--

The naval officer stretched out his foot and kicked the maid two or three meters away.

Then, with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, the maid stepped forward with a smile.

They arranged the fruit and fed the animals again.

And also at this time.

The sound of whips cracking could be heard from the surrounding area.

"You lowly slave, hurry up!!!"

"Didn't you guys eat???"

Snapped--

A group of shackled slave laborers pushed huge stones forward like an ant-carrying procession. They were emaciated, shirtless, and each had a dragon claw mark on their back. Their skin was sunburned all over, and some even had exposed muscle tissue dripping blood. They were already having great difficulty moving.

In this state, simply surviving is a challenge.

He was still criticized by the soldiers on the side for working too slowly.

He kept wielding a barbed whip.

Each time the whip fell, it brought forth a spray of blood, and the slaves were beaten until their skin was torn and bleeding.

"Too slow! At this rate, we won't have enough work for today. It seems that Lord Stry Grell will be leading a fleet on a cruise today~~~" The man in the white suit said leisurely without even opening his eyes.

"The grapes today... are a bit sour."

The naval officer who had spoken earlier immediately stood up.

He slapped the maid away: "Useless! Don't you know grapes are sour? Bring me another serving of chilled grapes!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Please calm down, sir!" The maid immediately nodded and bowed.

Then, the naval officer named Newt Lane bowed respectfully and leaned close to the man in the white suit and whispered in his ear.

He said softly, "Please wait a moment, sir, I'll take care of it right away!"

Today's tasks are quite heavy!

The Celestial Dragons had this peculiar idea of ​​coming to inspect the area.

If we see that the project is not progressing well, then we'll be in big trouble!

Celestial Dragons!

But they are a privileged aristocracy who stand above the law!

They are gods who are above everyone else!

If they are all unhappy, none of their subordinates will have a good ending.

Even some naval soldiers, if they accidentally anger a Celestial Dragon, will at least be branded with the unique 'Celestial Dragon's Hoof Mark,' a mark signifying becoming a slave.

Of course!

This is just a cruel joke played by the Celestial Dragons!

How could they possibly enslave the navy!

Why don't the naval soldiers just burn a mark they like on their bodies or get a tattoo to cover it up?

In this way, the Celestial Dragons are happy, the Marines retain their ranks and are not enslaved—a win-win situation.

Are you going to play along with the Celestial Dragons' perverse humor?

Thinking of this, the naval officer broke out in a cold sweat and walked up to the slave from before.

"Do you even realize that you're dragging me down, you lowly slaves!"

"Bang bang bang-!"

With several soldiers and muskets in hand, they fired a volley of shots at the slaves' heads.

After the slaves fell, Qiqi was thrown into the sea under the bridge.

Thud!

"Someone, bring out another 20,000 slave laborers!"

"Work as fast as we can!"

"Today's workload must be completed to the satisfaction of Lord Tianlong!"

Soon, rows of slaves were released from the centralized prison cells at the rear and escorted to the huge bridge to begin a new day of labor, while gunshots and the sound of people falling into the water could be heard from time to time.

The Newcastle West.

Kazan and his men were assessing the situation.

I'm preparing to find a good spot to start.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but twitch their brows. It wasn't that everyone was overflowing with saintly compassion, but rather that the navy was killing unarmed ordinary people as if it were perfectly justified. In their eyes, slaves were as lowly as ants.

You can easily stomp him to death!

"This fate is truly tragic..."

On deck, Redfield retracted 'Reading Hearts'.

He read the voices of countless slaves.

Redfield originally thought that his childhood experiences had given him enough of the darkness and filth.

But unexpectedly, some people are born to live in endless darkness.

By the time they climbed out, it was already the moment of their death.

Death, surprisingly, has become a kind of liberation!

Kazan said, "Pat, the cruel truth is far more than this; what we've encountered is only one aspect of it."

"Boss, let's do it!" Redfield lowered his eyelids, clearly preparing to unleash a massacre.

Shiki said, "Yes, leave none alive!"

The crane on the other side.

Looking at the scene below, I'm completely numb!

because.

The naval officer below, Newtline, she recognized him!

Newt Lane was a naval cadet in the same class as Tsuru. Back then, Newt Lane was honest and kind, and he was a good-natured person in the training camp. Although his training results were a little poor, he often humbly asked others for advice, and he was very popular. Tsuru also had some impression of him.

However, Tsuru had excellent grades at the time and stayed at the Marine Headquarters to team up with Garp and others.

Newtline was transferred to a position in the West Coast.

Unexpectedly, the two met again more than a decade later in the Bridge Kingdom of the East Blue...

But when Newt Lane was seen bowing and scraping before Mary Joe's officers, he instantly changed his expression when he stood up, becoming arrogant and domineering towards the slaves, showing no regard for human life.

He felt that his outlook on life had been impacted.

Newtline is a legitimate naval officer!

They still have serial numbers within the Navy!

Why is he here?!

How can you take people's lives so casually?!

Is it simply because these people are slaves of the Celestial Dragons?

The world of One Piece is a slave society as a whole, with slavery almost everywhere. Because of this system, the Celestial Dragons can enjoy many benefits, so those in power do their best to maintain the slave system and even make it the mainstream of the world.

As someone from a slave-owning country, He naturally knew about the existence of slaves and their lowly status.

But now, unarmed slaves are being abused.

It's one thing to beat slaves, but why not even spare their lives!

They did absolutely nothing wrong!

Rumbling--

The Neoxis floated into the air and docked at the bridgehead where construction had begun.

The deck height is parallel to the bridge deck.

Compared to the massive cross-sea bridge, even a colossal sailing ship like the Newxis appears somewhat small.

Da da da--

The members of the Flying Pirates immediately brought in planks to build a bridge, connecting the Newxis to the sea-crossing bridge in one go.

All the high-ranking officers in the pirate crew can fly.

But the other members of the pirate crew don't do that. Whenever it's time to disembark, they, like other pirate crews, have to build a bridge to cross.
