Chapter 47: The Escorted Slave Was Actually a Mermaid
When they saw Wood being dragged away by Gion and other human traffickers hiding around him, they immediately heaved a huge sigh of relief.
When they heard that Wood was planning to attack them, his sharp eyes made them hold their breath.
Although they don't know who Wood and Gion are, there is no doubt that they are two ruthless characters.
When they were stared at by Wood before, they didn't even dare to turn around and run away, because many years of elusive and crawling experience told them that if they ran at that moment, they would only die faster!
"Who are those two brats? There is such a powerful character coming to the Shampoo Islands. Why didn't we receive any news before?"
"I don't know where these two monsters appeared, but they can't be pirates.
Otherwise, with such strength, it is at least a so-called supernova, and it is impossible to land on the Chambord Islands without any movement.
Their clothes don't look like navy, but judging from the man's behavior, he looks more like a bounty hunter."
Watching Wood and Gion go away, other human traffickers began to talk about it. As local snakes on the island, they also have certain information channels.
However, they were certain that the two young men, a man and a woman, were definitely new faces on the island, and they were not famous pirates with bounties on them.
"No matter who they are, they are guys we can't afford to offend.
You guys, take note of their characteristics and let the brothers on the island shine brighter, so as not to provoke these two evil stars again."
The navy with a bounty of 33 million was easily defeated without even drawing the sword. Regardless of whether those two people were pirates or bounty hunters, they were obviously guys they couldn't afford to offend.
"What about that guy on the ground worth 33 million beli? Should we just leave him alone?"
After hearing the order from his boss, the younger brother of the human trafficking group nodded repeatedly, and then looked at the pirate group lying on the ground and asked what should be done.
"Idiot, if you throw money on the ground now, don't you know how to pick it up?
Didn't you hear what those two big guys said just now? They obviously look down on such a small amount of money as more than 30 million beli, and are ready to hunt other big prey."
"Then I will immediately have these guys tied up and sent to the navy branch on the island in exchange for bounty."
The trafficker originally thought that his conspicuous behavior would be praised by his boss, but who knew that as soon as he said the words, he would be kicked by his boss and scolded by his boss.
"I asked you to help send people to the navy branch... What kind of business are we in? Although we won't be chased and beaten by the navy like pirates, we are not a positive person either.
Do you know what maximizing profits means? How much money can be exchanged for sending these pirates to the navy, at most 33 million beli, and it also depends on the person's face."
"And if we use our professional abilities to send these pirates to the slave auction, the 33 million pirate captains can sell them for at least 50 million beli.
Even ordinary pirates who are worthless in the navy can still be sold for hundreds of thousands of beli each in the slave market because they are young and strong."
"Boss is really wise!"
"Nonsense, otherwise why am I the boss and you are the younger brothers? Only those with good brains can be the boss."
Soon, the more than fifty people who attacked Gion and Wood were tied up by these human traffickers.
Perhaps even they themselves had not thought that they were originally here to catch slaves, but in the end they themselves became slaves.
If you were sent to the navy as a pirate, your fate would actually be pretty good. If your evil deeds were not serious, you might have a chance to see the light of day again after ten or eight years of advancing through the city.
And if they become slaves, their lives will basically be completely over.
The treatment of slaves in this world is much worse than that of prisoners.
Prisoners at least still have some human rights, but most slaves live worse than animals.
Most wealthy people, especially the slaves bought by the Celestial Dragons, rarely survive more than a year.
Even if some people survive, they will suffer mental breakdown and go crazy because they cannot withstand the torture and destruction.
Of course, the pirates who attacked Wood and Gion did not deserve sympathy at all, because this was what they planned to do to them.
If Wood and Gion weren't strong enough, they would be the ones tied to the slave auction now.
In the mangrove area No. 1 of the Shampoo Islands, Doflamingo the Clown has not yet made his fortune, but there are still a large number of slave auctions and slave markets here.
After Wood and Gion came to the largest slave auction here and showed the relevant certificates, they also saw the so-called "goods".
There are ten large iron cages in a row, and each cage contains several people, including men, women, and even children.
The men are basically from special races, such as fishmen, giants, long-handed people, etc., while the women are mostly ordinary humans, but all of them have hot bodies and beautiful looks.
"Two adults, these are cheap goods. Even if some die during transportation, the Tianlong people will not notice that anyone is missing.
But this is the only product, so please be more careful, because this product is too valuable and the Tianlong people attach great importance to it, so we don’t dare to escort it ourselves."
The person in charge of entertaining Wood and Gion was the person in charge of the slave auction. Although he also did not know where Wood and the others were from, this did not prevent him from introducing his products to the two of them in an extremely flattering manner.
Wood and the two did not show their identities as navy, but they produced the corresponding certificates. If they could be related to the Celestial Dragons, the people at the slave auction knew that they could not afford to offend them at all.
The two were taken to a huge spherical tank by the owner of the auction. When he opened the curtain, Wood and the others finally understood why the auctioneers were worried about the slaves making mistakes.
Because what’s in this spherical tank is actually a mermaid! And it’s a young female mermaid!
As we all know, mermaids and mermaids are both half-human and half-fish species, and compared to the ugly mermaids, mermaids are the most popular items at all slave auctions!
Unlike the mermaids who have a certain fighting ability, most mermaids have little fighting ability, so they rarely leave the 10,000-meter-deep Fish-Man Island.
Even if the ship can pass the coating and dive into the fish-man island at a depth of 10,000 meters, catching the fastest swimming mermaid in the world is not an easy task.
And don’t forget, unlike when Katie was captured, Whitebeard is not dead yet, and Fish-Man Island is still the island where the Whitebeard Pirates are sheltering!
