One Piece Tulip Family
Chapter 131 Slave Trade
After Sabo won three games in a row, the subsequent gladiators seemed a little mediocre. After watching a few games, Satan and Sabo, who lacked interest, left the arena and found a hotel to stay.
On the second day after Satan arrived at Jon Island, the gladiatorial challenge officially started. With the gimmick of offering a reward of 3000 million Baileys, this gladiatorial challenge attracted countless tourists and people.
There are nearly 3000 registered participants in this gladiatorial challenge, so the organizer decided to divide all the participants into four groups of ABCD, with hundreds of people in each group for a melee. The winner will be the one who can persist until the end in the melee. Finally, the four winners will fight in pairs to determine the final winner and reward [-] million Baileys.
Satan and Sabo sat in the middle of the auditorium, facing the VIP seat, and several luxurious private rooms were built on a prominent platform, which seemed to be prepared for some special people.
At this time, as the opening was approaching, the audience in the auditorium became more and more enthusiastic. Suddenly, the voice of the commentator came from the field.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Jon City Gladiatorial Challenge is about to begin. Next, please welcome all distinguished guests. First of all, it is Earl Simon, who provided us with a bonus of 3000 million Baileys for this gladiatorial challenge."
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, a fat middle-aged man in a fur coat walked up to the VIP seat from the arch with the support of two beauties, and sat down lazily, with dozens of guards holding weapons standing behind him.
"Next, Colonel Pete, the commander of our Navy's 36th branch."
Following the voice of the narrator, a burly young man came out. He was nearly two meters tall and had a majestic appearance. There was a scar that almost ran through the entire face on his face, making him look particularly ferocious.
He was wearing a straight navy uniform and the navy's iconic justice cloak, followed by two navy officers who also wore the justice cloak, and they seemed to be officers in the navy.
"Welcome Colonel Pete, it's a great honor for you to be here." Seeing Colonel Pete walk up to the VIP seat, Earl Simon greeted with a smile, the fat on his face was crowded together, and his eyes were squeezed into slits.
"Hmph, what are you trying to do with your big fanfare of the gladiatorial challenge?"
Colonel Peter snorted coldly, sat down on the chair next to him, and was very disdainful of Earl Simon's greeting.
Unlike the chiefs of other branches in the East China Sea, he is not a colonel who was promoted from various branches, but graduated from the Naval Academy that specializes in training naval reserve personnel. Although he is only 22 years old this year, he is proficient in the six naval styles and is powerful.
Originally, he was already a colonel officer of the Navy Headquarters, with a bright future, but unfortunately, in a mission, he did not give priority to the safety of the nobles in order to get rid of evil.
However, although he was dispatched, the pride of being born in the Naval Academy made him want to make some achievements even in the East China Sea to repay the teacher's kindness.For the cancerous tumor in Jon City, he wanted to get rid of it from the bottom of his heart.
It's a pity that he just came to the East China Sea not long ago, and he didn't know the details of Jon City, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he accepted Earl Simon's invitation to watch this gladiatorial challenge.
"Attempts? No, no, no, Colonel Pete misunderstood me. I'm just holding an entertainment event. What can I do?"
Hearing Colonel Peter's question in a strange tone, Earl Simon was stunned for a moment, pretending to be astonished, and then repeatedly shook his fat hand, indicating that this was just an entertainment show.
Glancing at Earl Simon's clumsy performance, Colonel Peter leaned back in his chair and ignored the old fox.
After the arrival of these two heavyweight VIPs, the gladiatorial challenge officially began, and the first was the knockout round of Group A.
Following the narrator's order, more than a hundred gladiators entered the performance area of the arena one after another. Some of the gladiators were wearing slave collars, obviously slaves sent by their masters to try their luck.
As soon as these gladiators entered the arena, they were like caged beasts. They raised their weapons to guard against the people around them, because there was only one winner in the end, so for them, everyone on the field was an enemy, and they might attack them at any time.
"Satan, what's the matter with the collars around their necks?" Seeing some slaves also entered the arena, Sabo asked curiously.
"That's not an ordinary collar, but a slave collar invented by the nobles to prevent slaves from escaping. It contains strong explosives. If the slave leaves the master for a certain distance, the collar will explode, which can easily break the slave's neck. Moreover, if you want to forcefully remove the collar, it will also cause an explosion."
Satan frowned and explained, as if recalling some unpleasant past. After all, when he escaped from the Babylonian battlefield, he was helplessly put on a slave collar, and it was Satan's most shameful past.
"However, the slave trade is strictly prohibited by the world government. How can there be so many slaves?"
After listening to Satan's explanation, Sabo was even more confused.
"Of course it is because of interests. The world's aristocratic Tianlong people have the greatest demand for slaves. They can spend a lot of money at any time for rare slaves. However, under the influence of others, the entire aristocratic circle is very popular in raising slaves, and they are precisely the privileged class with massive wealth."
Satan patted Sabo on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Remember, if capital has a 50.00% profit, it will take risks. If it has a [-]% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world. If it has a [-]% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even risking being hanged."
"So even if the world government explicitly prohibits it, the slave trade is still the most popular and profitable trade in the black market. There are countless slave traders and slave catchers operating in various places in the world every day, and even some world nobles, naval officers, and world government officials are involved, and they will never stop."
"Aristocrat again?"
After listening to Satan's words, Sabo clenched his fists tightly, "Why do nobles appear in all the evil incidents? I feel so ashamed."
"Hey, it's too early to think about it now."
Satan pointed to the gladiators who were fighting on the field, and then said: "Let's watch the game first. As for your doubts, only those who are strong can be qualified to seek answers."
On the second day after Satan arrived at Jon Island, the gladiatorial challenge officially started. With the gimmick of offering a reward of 3000 million Baileys, this gladiatorial challenge attracted countless tourists and people.
