Ray of Justice: Pirate's Nightmare
Chapter 16 Buying Life
Cocoa West Village.
This was once a beautiful and peaceful village, but since the arrival of the Dragon Pirates more than ten years ago, Cocosia Village has fallen into the abyss.
Ding ding ding.
Disturbing sounds rang out on the streets, and Cocoyasi Village suddenly became silent.
"Collect the money, collect the money, be honest and come out on your own."
A loud voice broke the silence.
Slowly, people appeared one after another from both sides of the street.
"Why are you dilly-dallying? If you keep dilly-dallying, I'll tell Brother Aaron to give you a good look!"
Seeing the slow pace of this group of humans, the fishman Agyao threatened with dissatisfaction.
It seemed that Aaron's name caused an inexplicable chemical reaction among the villagers. They involuntarily increased their speed, fearing that the talking fishman would really call Aaron over.
You know, if Aaron doesn't come, it will be a disaster!
Every time Aaron appeared in the village, either the village was destroyed, or someone was injured or even died.
The rules of the Dragon Pirates: One hundred thousand beli per month for adults and fifty thousand beri per month for children.
It's called protection money, but it's actually money to buy your life.
This has been the case since the Dragon Pirates landed in Cocoa Nishi Village.
They range from a sixty-year-old man to a newborn child.
As long as you can breathe, no one can avoid it as long as you live in Cocoa West Village.
Moreover, the Dragon Pirates "keep their word" and do not accept credit. They have never allowed anyone who paid late to pay for their life to live past the next day.
The villagers of Cocoyasi Village can only survive in this environment.
One hundred thousand Baileys a month is 1.2 million Baileys a year. This is just an adult. Except for orphans who have no family, who is not the one who takes care of the family? A family costs at least 3 to 4 million Baileys a year. If you accidentally have two more children, it will be a disaster.
Cocoyasi Village is just a small village. What is the per capita annual income?
Under this kind of rule, Cocosia Village has not yet perished. It can only be said that people's will to survive is really strong.
"Every medicine, every medicine, every medicine, hurry up and line up."
The leading fish-man urged with a strange smile.
After seeing that no one came out of the room, he said to the fishmen around him.
"Hey, you guys, go and have a look in the house. These humans love to cheat and cheat. Don't let them get away with it."
"Hehehe, don't worry, Captain, no one can hide from our sense of smell."
Several fishmen smiled and began to walk into various houses to search for people.
in the crowd.
A young man clenched his fist tightly.
Kensuke, the only police officer in Kokoyashi Village, was silently pressing the boy's neck, for fear that the boy would not be able to resist and rush into the fish-man in front of him.
The boy's name is Hope, and he also had a complete family four years ago.
However, something unexpected happened. His parents became seriously ill and could no longer work to earn money.
Originally, the family still had some savings, so if they had to pay for their lives, they could still hold on for a few months.
Unfortunately, Hope's parents resolutely chose to die after knowing that even if they recovered from the disease, they would no longer be able to do heavy work.
Before seeking death, they entrusted all their remaining savings and Hope to Kensuke.
It's not like Kensuke didn't think of lending money to Hope's parents to help them get through the difficulties.
But Hope's parents refused.
Because they understand that living by themselves will only drag others down.
Letting Hope live is their last wish.
So, one day when Hope was out, the two chose to die.
In order for Hope to live a good life in the future, Kensuke deceived Hope and told him that the cause of his parents' death was serious illness.
Hope didn't doubt him at the time.
Kensuke thought that this was the end of the matter, but who knew that this kid Hope would still hate the fishman later on.
Young guys are always impulsive, Kensuke just thinks that Hope is in his rebellious stage, so he can only increase the intensity of monitoring Hope to prevent Hope from causing any trouble.
He is old and will die when he dies.
But Hope has only been an adult for a few days, and the days are still long.
Although living in this environment is extremely painful, it is still better than actually dying.
"Calm down, Hope!"
Feeling the strength coming from his hand, Kensuke couldn't help but shout.
"Uncle Kensuke, these fish-men are so abominable!"
Hope gritted her teeth and said angrily.
A sneaky human being?
These words simply made the three zombie gods of Hope jump into rage.
Everyone is working hard to live, but these fish-men rely on their physical advantages to constantly bully and threaten them.
Are they cheating? !
Hope really wanted to rush up and beat the fishman to the ground!
"Honey……"
"Do not talk."
The man held his wife's hand nervously.
Hope, who has had sensitive hearing since childhood, happened to hear the movement.
His eyes couldn't help but look at the couple.
"Isn't that Sarago?"
Hope recognized the couple, and then his pupils shrank.
Three people, only three people!
Apart from the couple, there was only one little girl being led.
But Hope clearly remembered that just half a month ago, Hope's family had a new member, a very cute little boy.
"Could it be that……"
Hope already had a guess in her mind.
Over the years, no one has tried to escape from paying for their life, but so far, no one has succeeded!
Once someone from the Dragon Pirates discovers that someone is escaping to pay for his life, as long as he is caught doing so, he will be executed immediately without giving anyone a chance to explain!
Hope saw several murlocs searching for people entering and exiting the villagers' houses, and they would arrive at Sarago's house in a short while.
He took a deep breath, stared at the fish-man in the distance, and suddenly spoke to Kensuke beside him.
"Jiansang, I have a question for you."
Kensuke was slightly startled. This was the first time he heard Hope talking to him like this.
"Why do you have to ask now?"
Hope still didn't look at him.
"About the death of my parents, were they really due to illness?"
Kensuke was numb.
"You, why are you asking this suddenly? Of course your parents died of illness. Stop talking."
Hope smiled lightly.
"Jiansang, you really can't lie."
He is not a fool, nor is he deaf or blind.
What he has seen and heard over the years has long been used by him to combine with his own experience.
Did your parents die of illness?
He clearly remembered that Dr. Dr. Nago said that as long as his parents took good care of themselves, they could survive.
The sudden bad news frightened Hope at the time.
The death of his parents was not only a blow to him, but also made the future dark and unpredictable.
He escaped and believed Kensuke's words without thinking.
The reason is that he just wants to find someone to rely on to survive.
He originally thought that he could continue like this.
But he thought too highly of himself, and his hatred for those in the Dragon Pirates grew day by day, to the point where he couldn't help but want to fight with them many times.
If it weren't for Kensuke's strict supervision, I'm afraid there would be no hope now.
Until now, he saw the panic of Sarah's family.
Suddenly, he understood something.
It turns out that what he hates is not the Dragon Pirates at all, but himself!
"Jiansang, I had a really happy birthday two days ago. It's a pity that you didn't let me have a drink with you. If you have a chance next time, will you drink with me?"
Hope suddenly spoke to Kensuke in a relaxed voice.
"you……"
"Thank you for taking care of me these past few years, Jiansang. I will leave my life money to the Sarago family's children."
Before Kensuke could speak, he was interrupted by Hope.
The resistance coming from his hand was beyond Kensuke's imagination.
I saw Hope breaking free from his suppression alive and running forward towards the leading fish-man.
"You stupid fishman, die!"
Bending, grabbing soil, and blowing sand, all done in one go.
How could the fishman Agyao have imagined that in the village they had ruled for more than ten years, there would be idiots who would choose to resist them.
He was stunned and fell into the trap.
Shamiyan, it doesn't matter if you are a human or a fishman.
The stinging sensation in his eyes made Age Yao feel angry.
"Bebega!"
Bebejia and the other fishmen who were still searching the house ran out immediately when they heard the call from their captain Agyao.
"Captain Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
"A bastard attacked me. Go chase him. If you catch him, don't kill him. Leave it to me!"
"Yes, each medicine captain."
How dare any human dare to attack their noble fish-men? Simply unforgivable!
Even if they put their fishmen's dignity on the line, they can't let the guy who attacked Captain Agyao escape!
Several fishmen, together with Agyao, all went after Hope, and the "rent collection" in Cocoa West Village was temporarily suspended.
"Kensuke, why didn't you keep an eye on that kid Hope?!"
"Yes, Kensuke, what should we do? Hope will die if caught by those fish-men!"
As soon as the fish man left, the villagers came to Kensuke and asked.
Kensuke glanced at Sara's house and instantly understood the meaning of what Hope said to him before leaving.
He came to Sarah's house without saying a word.
Suddenly he grabbed Sarah's collar with excitement!
"You bastard, why didn't you speak up when you had difficulties!"
"Mr. Kensuke, I, I..."
Sarah lowered her head in shame.
How could he still not understand at this point.
Hope suddenly attacks the fish-man because of him!
Kensuke glanced at Sara, then at Sara's wife and children, and sighed helplessly.
"Hope asked me to give this to you. Go take the baby out."
After saying that, Kensuke turned and left.
"Mr. Kensuke, where are you going?"
Sara stared blankly at the money in her hand, feeling even more guilty.
"I'm going to find that kid. No matter what, I can't let him face those fishmen alone."
After saying that, Kensuke left, leaving only a group of people who were either feeling guilty or filled with indignation and sighing sadly.
