From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 87 Another old acquaintance from eighteen years ago

"It's so noisy!"

Saint Rodnaz tossed the gun in his hand to the servant beside him: "Hurry up and reload it, you idiot!"

The middle-aged man, feigning panic as he caught the pistol, nodded obsequiously and quickly loaded the ammunition.

Meanwhile, the girl, pleading with passersby to save her mother, fell into despair, blood streaming down her face, but no one dared to look up.

Tears mingled with her own as the little girl knelt in the direction of the Celestial Dragons.

Having lived in Area 1 for so long, this wasn't the first time she and her mother had encountered Celestial Dragons.

She may not know the significance of the World Noble, but she understands that the only one who can save her mother now is the World Noble that her mother spoke of.

"Please...please, uncle, save my mother."

Rodnaz looked at the little girl with a look of utter absurdity on his face.

"Why...why should I save the bugs?"

They naturally questioned her, yet they felt no empathy whatsoever when faced with a little girl whose face was covered in blood and who was crying.

This is the education they receive from birth; fundamentally, they do not consider themselves to be of the same race as ordinary people.

Just like what Satan said in God Valley: How can one truly empathize with insects?

The little girl slowly raised the gun in her hand. Looking at the gun that had killed her mother, fear filled her eyes, but she still knelt on the ground, trembling.

Even though tears kept falling, they did not back down.

"Um?"

Rodnaz Saint seemed to have found something very interesting. He put down his gun, pointed it at the little girl, and said, "Bright blue! Bright blue eyes! I want to take this home as a souvenir! Hurry!"

The middle-aged man who had been loading bullets nodded and stepped forward, standing in front of the little girl who was still crying but staring at him with wide eyes.

Those bright blue pupils are truly beautiful.

But such beauty, once it caught the eye of Rodnaz Saint, no longer belonged to these ordinary people.

As the world's aristocracy, they rightfully possess all the power in the world, and no one can or should resist them.

"Uncle... Uncle."

The little girl forced a smile: "Help...help my mom...please..."

The middle-aged man glanced to the side and said in an extremely calm tone, "She's already dead. Even if the bullet didn't hit a vital spot, that amount of bleeding would have killed her long ago."

The little girl stood there, stunned, tears streaming down her face as she looked into her mother's eyes.

After a while, he raised his hand to wipe it.

Stop.

The arm stopped in mid-air.

The middle-aged man remained calm and matter-of-fact: "After Lord Rodnaz spoke, your eyes no longer belonged to you. So from that moment on, you can no longer wipe your eyes."

The little girl lowered her hand, turned around and looked at the middle-aged man, her lips twitching stiffly upwards.

"Uncle... Uncle, could you please... be gentle? It's... going to hurt, isn't it?"

At six years old, after the recent upheaval, she clearly already knew her fate.

But she was afraid of pain, so she wanted the uncle in front of her to be gentle.

If I give my eyes to the Celestial Dragon, I can leave, right? I can leave here with my mother, right?

"What are you dawdling for, you idiot! Hurry up! If the auction starts, I'll kill you, you stupid lackey!"

The voice of Saint Rodnaz rang out from behind, and the middle-aged man reached out and brushed his hand past the little girl's eyes.

There was no pain, because the moment the blow was delivered, a bloody hole appeared on the little girl's forehead.

"Bang!"

The small body fell to the ground, its bloody, hollow body turning to look at everyone on the street, a look that was both mocking and liberating.

In such a world, it's better to be dead than to live.

The middle-aged man held the eyeball, still containing flesh and nerves, in his palm and respectfully placed it before Saint Rodnaz.

However, the Celestial Dragon who had just been eager to obtain the pair of bright blue gems now grinned in disgust.

"How did it become so disgusting after being dug out? Throw it away, throw it away! As expected of the lowly, even their eyes are this disgusting."

A pair of eyes were carelessly thrown on the ground.

At that moment, a commotion arose at the end of the street.

A man stumbled and pushed away the person who was kneeling on the ground and trying to stop him by the ankle.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Commoners are not allowed to stand near Celestial Dragons, let alone commoners who might launch an attack.

Rodnaz Saint glanced disdainfully at the corpses of the family of three, then waved his hand and left with his guards.

After the group left, people gradually stood up from their knees on the quiet street.

"That little girl..."

"No one dared to help them in those times. We were just lowly people, and resistance would only result in our deaths."

"Once a day, they are more..."

He dared not utter the rest of his words, for if they were overheard, it would also be a capital offense.

No one can defy the Celestial Dragons, not even the pirates and human traffickers of Area 1.

In contrast, two years ago, if you unfortunately encountered a Celestial Dragon traveling around, you would most likely be safe as long as you bowed your head and knelt down in time.

But in the last six months or so, the Celestial Dragons seem to have become more irritable when they go out. They play a game of shooting their prey every time, and the person who is targeted is doomed at that moment.

"If possible, move out of Zone 1 as soon as possible; it's even less safe here than before."

"The pirates that have recently landed on Sabaody Archipelago aren't coming to Area 1. How are we ordinary people supposed to survive?"

At that moment, a figure appeared in the crowd, his gaze fixed on a family of three in the middle of the street.

I'm a little late...

The chatter among the crowd had already given Kevin the information about what had just happened.

Every day, a Celestial Dragon from Mary Geoise comes down to the Sabaody Archipelago to play, hoping to lure them in. But at the same time, these guys are also venting their frustrations, while ordinary people are the ones who suffer.

Kevin slowly stepped forward, his eyes meeting the little girl's empty gaze beneath the cloak and mask.

"If the underworld in this world can be reincarnated, the next time you come to this world, it will be better...it definitely will be."

His eyelids fell shut, and the blood-red emptiness closed.

Kevin slowly stood up and vanished from the spot in an instant.

"The cloaked man!"

"The one who just disappeared was the cloaked figure!"

"Really? After he appeared last time, the Celestial Dragons didn't come to Sabaody Archipelago for half a year. This time..."

"Shut up! He's also a mortal enemy of human traffickers; they'll tip him off."

……

Meanwhile, at the temporary naval base in Area One, Borsalino had just hung up the Den Den Mushi.

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

Nearly a year has passed, and the other party clearly knows it's a trap, yet they still came.

Because the bait turned into a real Celestial Dragon?

Or is it because of those who died?

Borsalino touched his hands together, and a golden light shot straight into the sky.

Eight-foot mirror!

……

"It's me. Let's get started."

Kevin also hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, on the five islands of the Kingdom of Olga in the Grand Line, large groups of people, who had been preparing for this, rushed from their homes to the ports, while the royal guards also transported out the prepared treasures and supplies.

The CP who had been monitoring the area suddenly woke up, but just as he took out his Den Den Mushi, a hand twisted his neck in a dragon claw shape.

As Ginny swept past on her Flying Nimbus, she held a Den Den Mushi in one hand: "I've already reported the location to you. The World Government personnel on my side have cleared it out. What about you?"

"Of course I'll handle it myself... The research institute's latest sniper rifle is pretty good, one shot to the head, every shot hits."

At the ports of the five islands, large ships descended from the sky, and bear paw-shaped bubbles stirred up waves on the sea surface.

"quick!"

"All members are moving supplies according to plan; the elderly, women, and children should board the ship first!"

"clear!"

The two boarding stairs are close together; one is used by able-bodied men to carry supplies up and down, while the other is the entrance for the elderly, women, and children to board.

Everything was orderly; no one complained, and no one fought over anything.

Even the young and middle-aged people without relatives did not express any dissatisfaction.

They are a revolutionary army, an organization that has fought for ordinary people all over the world since its inception. They are glorious, fighting for their own future and for the class they belong to!

Sacrifice is for the future. Only by forging ahead can this world be transformed! Only then can the descendants of ordinary people like them truly live on!

It is not shameful to be forced to leave one’s hometown. One day, the hometown will be liberated and the sound of the revolutionary army’s liberation drums will resound throughout the world!

……

Auction in Area 1 of the Sabaody Archipelago.

The middle-aged man who had been following the Celestial Dragon glanced at the object in his arms and whispered, "Has it already appeared? From now on, remain silent. I need to prepare as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, the already unremarkable middle-aged man suddenly vanished as if he had never existed. Although he was still standing behind the Celestial Dragon, his entire body had changed, blending into the colors of the surrounding environment.

Even the Celestial Dragons, who were excitedly watching the slaves on the high platform, didn't notice that one of their guards was missing.

"We are now auctioning off a female mermaid, with a starting bid of one hundred million Berries!"

The host, not daring to delay for even a moment, immediately pulled down the curtain and announced the low price of the auction items.

As a cautionary tale, hosting auctions in Area One is now a high-risk profession, with over sixty people already killed by the Tianlong people before.

If he had no other choice, he really wouldn't want to be the host here.

"Five hundred million! Five hundred million Berries!"

Rodnaz Saint's eyes were filled with aggression as he looked at the mermaid. He wanted to possess this mermaid, take her back to Mary Geoise, and then play with her without restraint!

After the Celestial Dragons made their bid, everyone in the auction house fell silent.

They would bid on items that the Celestial Dragons weren't interested in before, but once the Celestial Dragons spoke, they had to keep quiet.

"Bang!"

The auction doors were pushed open, and a strong smell of blood rushed in from outside.

Kevin clapped his hands, raised his head slightly, and stared directly at Rodnaz Saint through his white mask.

"Oh? It's been eighteen years. I didn't expect it to be you this time, Izabaron V Rodnaz Saint."

"How dare a lowly commoner..."

Rodnaz, who had just turned around to unleash his fury, froze, his legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.

"A cloaked...cloaked person!"

"Help me! You idiots, hurry! Hurry!"

With his legs trembling and kicking incessantly, Rodnaz retreated to the corner of the wall.

Kevin, meanwhile, surveyed the surroundings. From the prison's unique perspective, everyone here had a certain level of "crime value."

"Can...can we leave?"

A large, fat man placed two boxes on the ground and opened them with trembling hands: "Here is 120 million Berries. I... I just want to leave."

Subsequently, one by one, the criminals in Area 1 followed suit and placed all the money they had brought on the ground.

"Let us go...if you let us go, all this money is yours!"

"Yes! Yes! This money, as long as..."

"Whoosh!"

The long sword swept across, and blood splattered out.

Kevin looked at the men who had collapsed in fear before him: "Kill you, and all this money will be mine."

As soon as he finished speaking, one after another, specially made kunai flashed by, and people collapsed, clutching their necks.

With the artery severed, blood gushed out like it was free; the more one struggled to crawl out, the more likely they were to die along the way.

After cleaning up all the trash, Kevin looked at Rodnaz Saint in the corner, and CP protecting him.

So what could the trap be?

Kevin frowned; at this point, the other party still hadn't played a card.

"Whoosh."

Before the cage on the high platform, Kevin's long sword swept across, and although he didn't understand what cutting iron was, he directly cut through the bars with Armament Haki.

"You...you've come to save me?"

The female mermaid was beautiful, but Kevin didn't seem inclined to say anything at that moment.

He reached out and grabbed the self-destruct device on the mermaid's neck, covering it with Armament Haki, and destroyed it from the inside.

"boom!"

An explosion rang out in the air, but in that instant, Kevin's Observation Haki erupted, and he used a kunai to deflect the incoming object.

"Bang."

The round self-locking handcuffs fell to the ground. Kevin looked at them, thought for a moment, and then carefully wrapped them in the clothes of the corpse next to him before putting them away.

The Celestial Dragon, who was being protected behind him, was kicking the CP in front of him repeatedly.

"Go, you idiots!"

"Protect me!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"I don't want to end up like Saint Samuel, no!"

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous spot beside the Celestial Dragon, the middle-aged man, who was going unnoticed, clenched his fists.

The first trap failed.

The opponent's Observation Haki is top-tier, but it shouldn't have reached the level of precognition yet; otherwise, he wouldn't have even had a chance to get out of the handcuffs just now.

Even so, he only has one chance to make a move.

Using the Celestial Dragons as bait, if things go wrong, the consequences are already predictable.

Lower your profile, reduce your presence, and blend into your surroundings.

Slow down your breathing, and even hold your breath when the opponent gets close; only in this way can you have a greater chance of winning.

The opponent's combat strength is not top-notch. As long as the ability of the teleportation fruit is restricted, then my mission can be considered complete.
