[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 415 Secret Origin

living hell.

Saab is tempted to use that word to describe the place.The main purpose of this huge quarry is to oppress and exploit the 'prisoners' here - and he couldn't think of where these collected stones would be used.This place may be used to control prisoners, but it has to be said that it is quite effective.

Prisoners are shackled at all times, and there are also unfathomable attacks on those with devil fruit abilities.Every morning, the prisoners are taken out of the dark cells to work forcibly, and the number of large rocks they move is exchanged for a ticket called a "voucher" in exchange for a whole day's food: mochi balls.

It seems that more work pays more, but in exchange for this small ball, you need to move a huge stone taller than a person. Except for young and strong people who can barely do this kind of thing, people with diseases or old age can barely do it. People who are already high are basically abandoned existences.I don't know when I will die.

Of course, as long as you enter this quarry, you are basically sentenced to death.No one cares about the life and death of every prisoner here.

Sabo has seen similar places before. As the chief of staff of the rebel army, he rescued countless people who were waiting to die in prisons, and overthrew countless authorities who did not care about the lives of the people. But at this moment, he fell into confusion and began to think. The question Matthew had asked him earlier——

"Is the crux of the world really ruled by 'nobles'? And if so, what kind of system will be established to keep the world going after the rebel army overthrows it?"

Sabo never really thought about it.Especially the second question.There is no doubt that he firmly believes that the actions of the rebels are just and right.However, after this, the rebel army should really think about a plan, even if it is just a measure, to ensure that the world will not get worse after getting rid of the rule of the nobles.

Now, there is definitely something wrong with the world government.The seeds of this have begun to germinate slowly, which is an indisputable fact.However, what has not been determined is what is the name of this seed?What is the name of the vine it spreads, the 'toxin' that infects the earth?

Is it noble?Is it?Is it arrogance?Is it confusion?

No one asked such a question.Nobody sees that long.Just like this quarry of rabbit don now, it is not ruled by 'nobles' in essence, or even caused by 'nobles' themselves.It was built by Kaido, and Kaido is a... pirate.He is a villain, not a nobleman.

Well, the wicked will also create such a hell.How are they different from nobles?

"Philosophy is really difficult!!" This should be philosophy, right?is this?Who knows!But feeling is something that people like Matthew and Mansfield would think about!Sabo swung the pickaxe in his hand and hit the stone. Although there were Hailoushi's shackles on his wrist, it was more than enough to hit the stone with his ability.

"Scary to death! You bastard!" Because Sabo said this suddenly, Kidd started to attack him from the other side, "It seems that your injury is almost healed!"

"Are you worried about me! Eustace?" Sabo replied unhappy, "Don't worry, I can let you rest now!"

"Huh??" So...why are you so hostile to me? !We basically didn't say more than ten sentences before this!Before Kidd could speak, he almost hit his head with a pickaxe. In a blink of an eye, he found out that the 'murderer' was Luffy.Only then did he realize...

If I don't do anything, I will be killed by these two brothers sooner or later.

"Huh... I'm hungry~~ Sabo!" Luffy didn't care about Kidd at all, he put down the pickaxe in his hand to take a breath, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "When is dinner?"

"How do I know! Um... let me see..." Said that he didn't know, but Sabo still looked up at the position of the sun, "It should be almost noon, soon."

"Hey..." Lu Fei rubbed his stomach in disappointment.so hungry.Meatballs can't bear it at all, I really want to eat meat... He muttered, "If it's Xiangxiang, you should give me a bento now!"

That little girl is so used to you!Originally, he wanted to say this, but Kidd swallowed the words stuck in his mouth.He wanted to ask about Youxiang's situation, but Matthew only gave a rough idea.Although I am very grateful to her for saving Kira, but how did she do it!she?Save Kira?real? ?

She must have knocked herself out again.

"Hey, straw hat..." Kidd finally decided to ask, but just as he turned around, he saw Luffy talking to someone else.That is a prisoner who seems to have stayed in this rabbit prison for a long time. He is very old and short in stature. Although judging from the tattoos on his body, he should have been a ruthless character when he was young, but now his former glory is long gone.

He can hardly survive in this rabbit bowl now.It is impossible for an old man like him to move a rock, so he can survive on a little alms.It's just that since Luffy and Sabo came, they have been taking care of the old man.Kidd didn't think it was pity or anything, they should just be doing what they wanted to do.

"Well, Your Excellency... I'm here to thank you!"

Earlier today, Luffy also helped the old man out.Although Kidd was also involved, he didn't speak at the moment.

"Huh? It's nothing!" Luffy didn't feel anything at all, he said, "You don't have to worry about it! Live well! Oh yes! It's almost time for dinner!" Luffy recalled what Sabo said just now, He took out his pocket, took out a handful of tickets that could be exchanged for food, and stuffed it into the hands of the old man in front of him, "Take these!"

"How, how dare!" The old man was a little surprised and terrified, "You have helped me so much! Now, now..."

"It's okay~ hahaha! Anyway, I have a lot!" And it's not meat, and I don't like it very much!Luffy laughed and said, "You have to cherish some food!"

"Of course!" The old man was obviously moved, he said, "I, an old man, obviously have nothing to repay, yet you still..."

"It's not impossible! Old man!" Sabo found an opportunity, he walked over to Luffy and said, "You should know a lot of Wano's secrets, right?"

"Secret...?" The old man, who was called 'Master Bing' by other prisoners, showed a slightly confused expression, "I can't say it's a secret, I just lived in this place since childhood."

"That's enough, can you tell us some information?" Sabo squatted down so that he could be at eye level with Master Bing, and he said, "In fact, there is one thing that I have always been concerned about. Do you know anything about the Mo family? I have inquired about it in Huadu, but few people know the details."

"The exorcist family...it means the Wuguitang family and the Yuzichai family." Master Bing knew about them, he said, "Well... because they have been active for a long time, many younger people are probably I’ve only heard legends. Why do you want to know about them? As far as I know, they all left Wano country a long time ago.”

"Because we have a friend." Sabo simply sat on the ground, and he said seriously, "Her situation is not exaggerated to say that it is very bad. Neither magic nor technology can help her. And now, the only thing that can This is the only clue that is close to her condition."

"It's like this..." How bad is the situation?Master Bing thought for a while, and he said, "When I was younger than you, the head of the Mikoshiba family left Wano Country with everyone in the family. At that time, the Gokido family had already left. Daming-sama hoped to keep them, but Yulian-sama, who was still a child at the time, said..."

Soon after, an unkillable evil spirit will come here, and we must leave to seek the change of the times and wash away the rotten shell.

"It is said that Yulian-sama has the ability to see the future. Although she was still young at the time, she was a priestess-sama known as a 'prophet'. She must have seen that Kaido would come to this country... Lord Bing lowered his head slightly, and said, "Since then, there has been no exorcist family in Wano Country."

"Are you running away? Those people?" Lu Fei didn't quite understand Yulian's words, so he asked.

"Hmm... It can't be said that he escaped." Master Bing smiled wryly, and he said, "Master Yulian foresaw Kaido's arrival, but they felt that they could not expel this 'evil spirit', so they left Wano Country. Try to find more ways. After all, until now, the seclusion of the country has made this place... lose a lot of things."

That's what that sentence means.No...Maybe Yulian...is just protecting her clansmen.Ended up marrying a foreigner and changing the family name... Maybe she gave up.Maybe she really just got away.After all, even if she can see the future, she is just a mortal, and she can only do her best to protect those within her power.

The Patriarch who led his family to leave at that time may have thought the same way.Now that she has to return to Wano Country, how does Yulian feel?

Sabo thought about this, and he said, "It seems that there are no more clues..."

"Is that friend of yours haunted by evil spirits?"

"You can put it this way. It can also be said to be more serious than this..." Becoming friends with a ghost or something... What's going on, you Xiang... Hey... Sabo sighed deeply, he said, " That aside, old man. One more thing, have you ever heard the word 'Emerald Isle'?"

"Emerald Island?" Master Bing repeated the word in surprise, as if he was trying to recall something from a long time ago, "This...I...wait...what is it..."

"have you heard of it?"

"That's a name from too long ago... It seems to be a popular nursery rhyme when I was still wearing crotch pants..."

"Nursery Rhymes?"

"Yeah. It's the kind where children can sing while running and playing!" Master Bing was a little distressed, and he said, "Almost no one can sing now, and I can't remember clearly... It seems to be something... Stars, stars, falling from the sky, falling into the maelstrom in the sea... Green light swaying, ghosts screaming... Emerald Island, Emerald Island, is it Ghost Island...?"

The amount of information suddenly became larger!Sabo tried to separate the useful information from the ballad, but Master Bing was still trying to recall: "It seems that there is another part, what is it... the man in the iron barrel, and the beam of light soaring into the sky. But I really can't remember it. .Is this of any use to you?"

"It's very useful!!" The stars falling from the sky, the ghost island, the man in the iron barrel, the beam of light... all feel very important information.Is it a nursery rhyme from a long time ago... It means that Emerald Island first appeared in Wano Country, or it has been in Wano Country since a long time ago.If this is true, then that Oni Island... Sabo said, "Is Oni Island referring to the Oni Island where Kaido is now?"

"Ah, it should be. After all, there is no other island with that name in this place."

According to the content of the nursery rhyme... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!According to the nursery rhyme, there may have been some 'people from the stars' who once arrived in Wano, and their arrival was accompanied by a green light capable of dyeing the entire island in emerald color.

This may have something to do with some kind of technology. From Matthew, it can be seen that the technology on the stars is very advanced.Although they don't know why they came, they stationed on Onigashima unceremoniously.A lot of things should have happened in the middle, they came into contact with the aborigines here, maybe what the man in the iron bucket is talking about is a robot!So to say……

The man named Isaac who claimed to be the leader of Emerald Isle knew Youxiang.He knew Youxiang's "before events", as if he was very familiar with them.It is speculated that Isaac is probably from the same place as Youxiang, Yi Leng?or something like that.And he may also be the descendant of the group of people who landed in Wano Country——

Or even one of them.After all, Isaac has no human appearance, he may not be human anymore, and his age cannot be judged from his appearance.

In this way, the purpose of Emerald Island may also have something to do with the purpose of those people arriving in Wano Country.If you want to know more, it seems that you will have to go to the ghost island to find out.This coincided with Luffy's goal again by mistake.

"Hey! Sabo! Did you think of anything? Will this help Xiangxiang?" Luffy squatted next to Sabo and asked a little anxiously.

"That's right! Hey! Golden Retriever! If you know something, tell me!" Kidd also urged Sabo.

"Now it's all just scattered and inferred information, there's no need to say it." Sabo shook his head, he said, "If you tell Matthew about this, he should be able to draw a better conclusion than me. Although this It has nothing to do with restoring Youxiang's physical condition, but it has something to do with what she's investigating."

"Ah, it's about her... what's Hart's colleague?" Kidd still remembered it.Youxiang is also very concerned about this, and when it is mentioned, all relatives will deny it.He said, "It's obvious that she's in trouble for herself, right?"

"It's not like you don't know that she is so stubborn!" Sabo said that he was also worried. "In short... thank you, old man. This is much more than what we got by running around outside!"

"Although I don't quite understand, it would be great if I could help." Master Bing smiled and said, "In this way, I am not completely useless at my age!"

"Don't say that, it's just abnormal here, old man. No one should be alive." Sabo patted his leg and stood up, "Okay! I'm a little motivated, tell Youxiang about this , will she be very happy?"

"Hmph... Sabo is really cunning!" Luffy pouted suddenly, and said, "Xiangxiang will praise Sabo alone! Obviously I have a share!"

"Are you struggling with this kind of thing? Luffy! She usually spoils you enough!"

"It has nothing to do with that! And it's also because Sabo and Ace always make Xiangxiang cry, and it's too much to say that she doesn't want to be her brother!"

"Didn't this explain to you that it's not what you imagined?!"

"Sabo! Cunning~~咻~~咻~~~"

"Luffy ah ah ah!"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

However, even if Lu Fei ate a melon the whole time, You Xiang would definitely praise him for eating well.
