"Sister … Sister …"
Marigold trembled and curled up in the corner, her eyes full of fear. She looked at Hancock and couldn't help but tremble, wanting to get a little comfort from Hancock.
Probably not long ago, they were caught by human traffickers, and then they were continuously resold and finally sold to Holy Land Mariejois, where they were detained yesterday.
They thought that coming to Holy Land would be much better than staying in the hands of those human traffickers, but they didn't expect that what awaited them was hell!
Although it was very dark here.
However, one could still see that there were bloodstains everywhere, and the stench of blood was almost nauseating. Furthermore, not only were there miserable screams in the distance, but there were also weak and pained cries coming from the nearby cages from time to time.
In the cage next to them, a man's limbs were cut off, and the crook of the broken arm was fitted with a copper sleeve, and he was locked there by a collar like an animal.
In other cages, there were even more tragic scenes.
This is not the world!
This is hell!
At this time, Hancock, who was only twelve years old, listened to the screams coming from not far away, and her eyes were full of fear, but when she heard her sister's words, she barely calmed down and said,
"Don't be afraid."
"As long as we find a chance, we can escape."
Hearing Hancock's words, both Marigold and Sandersonia seemed to have found a glimmer of light in the darkness.
They squeezed together with Hancock, biting their lips and nodding hard.
And at this moment.
Step, Step, Step …
A sound of footsteps came from not far away, and it seemed that someone was approaching here. Hancock and her two sisters heard the movement, and the fear in their eyes suddenly became strong.
In the darkness, they saw the light spreading, and then they saw a Tenryubito with a bubble on his head, riding on a slave and coming this way.
Behind him was a large number of attendants.
Rozwald came to a cage, poked a figure in the cage with a cane in his hand, then frowned and said, "Dead?"
The attendant next to him immediately stepped forward to check, and then said with some fear,
"Yes … he's dead."
"Trash!"
Rozwald scolded. It was unknown whether he was scolding the servant for not taking good care of the slaves, or he was scolding the vitality of the dead slave for being too weak. The slave died without much suffering.
He pulled back his walking stick and said, "Get rid of the body!"
"Yes! Saint Rozwald! "
When the nearby attendants saw that Rozwald did not blame them, they were all relieved. They quickly opened the cage and began to quickly dispose of the corpse.
Rozwald sat on the slave with some displeasure and continued to move forward. His eyes swept over several cages in succession and finally fell in front of the cage where Hancock was.
"Eh?"
"Are these new arrivals? Why is he so young? "
The attendant behind him immediately stepped forward and answered, "Yes, these three are said to have been caught from the legendary Amazon Snake Island. I thought you would like them, so I purchased them."
Along with his words, the other attendants looked at Hancock and the others in the cage. Seeing the three of them curled up in the corner with fear, someone shouted, "Don't kill them!"
"What are you doing? Hurry up and kneel! "
"This is Saint Rozwald!"
Hancock and the other two looked at the people outside the cage and shuddered. They looked at Rozwald's eyes with a hint of trembling.
It has been a day since they came here, and they have already known the horror of the Celestial Dragons. This is a group of guys who will not treat humans as human beings at all!
No one dares to go against them because they represent the world. Once they resist them, not only themselves, but even their hometown will suffer!
This is the world's aristocracy!
"Oh, Amazon Snake Island? Is that the legendary island where only women live? That's really a rare creature, good job! "
Rozwald's eyes lit up.
For the general slaves, he is almost tired of playing with them. Only some famous pirate captains are slightly interested in them.
The slaves of the Amazon Snake Island are almost as rare as the mermaids of the Fishman Island. They are extremely rare because both of them are difficult to get to. One is located in the Calm Belt, the home of various giant sea kings, and the other is located 10,000 meters below the sea floor.
Under the fearful eyes of Hancock and the others, Rozwald smiled and looked at the three of them. His gaze made the three of them feel cold. They had seen the tragedy here and they seemed to see the abuse they would suffer next.
However.
After looking at them for a moment, Rozwald raised his head and said, "Take good care of these three for me. Don't starve them and don't let them get fat. The women of the Amazon Snake Island are the rarest slaves. Next time I will take them out and show them to others. Hahahaha!"
"Yes! Saint Rozwald! "
The attendants nearby immediately responded.
When Hancock, Marigold, and Sandersonia heard Rozwald's words, the fear in their eyes finally eased a little.
But just when the three of them were barely relaxed and felt that they had escaped a disaster, an attendant next to them suddenly said, "By the way, the three of them haven't been branded yet, right?"
Another person responded and said, "Ah, yes, because they just came yesterday, they haven't been inspected by Saint Rozwald, so they haven't been branded yet …"
Speaking of this.
He looked at Rozwald.
Rozwald waved his hand and said, "Get it right away!"
The so-called brand, also known as the Sky Soaring Dragon's Hoof, represents the brand of the Celestial Dragons' slave. It is a brand on the back of the slave using a special drug soaked in a soldering iron.
This brand can't be removed no matter what method is used. Even if that part of the skin is cut off, the new skin will still have the same brand.
"Yes!"
The few attendants immediately responded and quickly retreated.
Rozwald glanced at Hancock and the other two again, then poked the slave under him with his crutch and turned to look at the distance. The lights gradually went away.
Hancock and the other two who fell back into the darkness looked at each other for a while. They all had a bad feeling and began to panic inexplicably.
Half an hour later.
The lights were on again.
Rozwald's figure didn't appear again, but several female attendants appeared. They carried a stove and walked all the way to the front of the cage and put the stove down.
Then.
One of them opened the cage, and the other pulled out a red-hot soldering iron from the stove and sprinkled some kind of drug on the soldering iron, making the soldering iron make a sizzling sound.
Seeing this scene, Hancock and the other two suddenly showed fear. They looked at the people who walked into the cage and made a sound of horror, but the attendants were indifferent. They forcibly pulled the shackles of the three people and dragged them out of the cage.
"Be honest!"
"Don't move! That way, you can suffer less! "
Several people said coldly, then two of them held Hancock and pressed her in front of the stove, tore off the clothes on her back, revealing a large piece of skin on her back.
Looking at one of them coming over with a soldering iron, Hancock's eyes showed fear and said:
"No …"
"Don't …"
She tried to struggle, but she couldn't break free at all. She was forcibly held down by two people and could only watch the person holding the red hot iron walk to her back.
Almost when the fear in her eyes reached the limit, she turned her head and watched the soldering iron press down on her back.
Hum!!!
A strange force suddenly swayed.
The air seemed to be buzzing and vibrating, and even the charcoal at the bottom of the stove cracked and made a crackling sound.
The two attendants who held Hancock's body froze.
Standing behind her, the female attendant who was about to press the branding iron down also froze on the spot.
Clang!!
The soldering iron fell to the ground.
The female attendants seemed to have fallen asleep as they fell to the ground one after another and fainted.
"… What?!"
Hancock looked at this scene and couldn't help but be startled, and her eyes revealed a trace of astonishment.
Marigold and Sandersonia, who were next to her, were also stunned.
They are from the Amazon Lily Island. Everyone in the Amazon Lily Island is a warrior. They have been exposed to Haki since childhood.
Although they are only twelve years old and their strength is still very weak, because of the inheritance of the Amazon Lily Island, they have a very clear understanding of Haki.
They can recognize what happened in this scene.
This is …
Haoshoku Haki!
It is hard to find one in a million people, and only those with the qualifications of a king can have Haki!
This Haoshoku Haki was not released by Hancock, nor was it her first awakening, but from others.
Step, Step, Step.
The sound of footsteps came from not far away.
Hancock jerked her head and looked.
She saw a man wearing a white cloak and silver hair coming from not far away. The pair of blue eyes she had never seen before were like gems, exuding an intoxicating luster.
"You … You are …"
She looked at the silver-haired man coming over and staggered back a step, trembling slightly.
Maples stopped and looked at Hancock with his blue eyes. He looked at the future Pirate Empress and gently examined her, then smiled faintly and said:
"I am a traveler."
"A traveler who blows different winds to different futures."
