One Piece: Tulip Family
Chapter 131
After Saab
won three games in a row, the gladiators who followed him seemed to be a little mediocre, and after watching a few games, Satan and Saab, who were not interested, left the arena and found a hotel to stay.
On the second day of Satan's arrival on Jon Island, the gladiatorial challenge officially began, with a gimmick of 30 million Bailey's bounty, this gladiatorial challenge attracted countless tourists and people, and the entire gladiatorial arena was full of spectators.
In this gladiatorial challenge, there are nearly 500 registered participants, so the organizer decided to divide all participants into four groups of ABCD, with hundreds of people in each group conducting a melee, and the one who can persist in the melee until the end is the winner, and finally the four winners will face off in pairs to determine the final winner and reward 30 million Bailey.
Satan and Saab sat in the middle of the audience, facing the VIP seats, and several luxurious private rooms were built on a prominent platform, which seemed to be intended for some special status.
At this time, near the opening, the atmosphere of the audience in the audience became more and more enthusiastic, and suddenly, the voice of the commentator came from the audience.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Jon City Gladiatorial Challenge is about to begin, and we would like to welcome all of you to your guests, starting with Count Simon, who has provided us with a prize of 30 million Baileys for this gladiatorial challenge.
As soon as the narrator's words fell, a middle-aged man in a fur coat with a fat figure and two beautiful women walked up from the arch to the VIP seat and sat down lazily, with dozens of guards holding weapons standing behind him.
"Next, Colonel Pete, the commander of our Thirty-Sixth Naval Branch. "
What came out with the narrator's voice was a burly young man, he was nearly two meters tall, his appearance was majestic, and there was a scar on his face that almost ran through his face, which looked particularly hideous.
He wore a crisp navy uniform with the Navy's iconic Cloak of Justice, followed by two Navy officers who also wore the Cloak of Justice, who also appeared to be officers in the Navy.
"Welcome, Colonel Pete, it's a great honor to have you here. Seeing Colonel Pete walk up to the VIP seat, Count Simon greeted with a smile, and the fat on his face was squeezed together, and his eyes were squeezed into a slit.
"Hmph, what is your intention to engage in a gladiatorial challenge with great fanfare?" Colonel
Pete snorted coldly and sat down in the chair next to him, very disdainful of Count Simon's greeting.
Unlike the commanders of other branches in the East China Sea, he is not a colonel who has been promoted from various branches, but a graduate of the Naval Academy, which specializes in training naval reserve talents, and although he is only twenty-two years old this year, he is proficient in the six types of the Navy and is a strong student, and he is a student of Zefa, the former admiral and the current chief instructor of the Navy Headquarters.
Originally, he was already a colonel officer of the Navy Headquarters, and his future was bright, but unfortunately in a mission, in order to eliminate the evil, he did not give priority to the safety of the nobles, offended some big nobles, and could have been driven out of the navy, but later under the mediation of his teacher Zefa, he was assigned to the East China Sea a month ago to become the commander of the branch.
However, although he was assigned, the pride of being born in the Naval Academy made him want to make some achievements to repay his teacher's thoughtful kindness, even in the East China Sea. For Jon City, a mixed tumor, he wanted to get rid of it from the bottom of his heart.
It's a pity that he has just come to the East China Sea, and he doesn't know the details of Jon City, and he doesn't dare to make a rash move, so he will accept Count Simon's invitation to come to watch this gladiatorial challenge.
"Attempt? No, no, no, Colonel Pete misunderstood me, and I was just holding an entertainment event below, so what could I do?"
Hearing Colonel Pitt's strange question, Count Simon was stunned at first, pretending to be stunned, and then shaking his fat hand again and again, indicating that this was just an entertainment show.
Glancing at Count Simon's clumsy performance, Colonel Pete leaned back in his chair and paid no attention to the old fox.
After the arrival of the two heavyweights, the gladiatorial challenge officially began, starting with the melee elimination round of Group A.
With the narrator's order, more than 100 gladiators entered the gladiatorial arena performance area, some of them still wearing slave collars, apparently slaves sent in by their masters to try their luck.
As soon as these gladiators entered the arena, they were like beasts in a cage, and they raised their weapons to guard the people around them, because the final winner was only one person, so for them, anyone on the field was an enemy, and they could attack them at any time.
"Satan, what's the matter with those who wear collars around their necks?" Sabo asked curiously, seeing some of the slaves also entering the gladiatorial arena.
"It was not an ordinary collar, but a slave collar invented by the nobles to prevent slaves from escaping, which contained high explosives, and if the slave was more than a certain distance away from the master, the collar would explode, which could easily blow up the slave's neck, and if you wanted to forcibly remove the collar, it would also cause an explosion.
Satan frowned and explained, as if remembering some unpleasant past, after all, when he fled from the Babylonian battlefield, he was also helplessly put on a slave collar, which is also Satan's most shameful past.
"However, the slave trade is explicitly prohibited by the world government, how can there still be so many slaves?"
After listening to Satan's explanation, Sabo was even more confused.
"Of course, because of interests, the greatest demand for slaves is the world's aristocratic Tianlong people, for rare slaves, they can spend a lot of money at any time, and under the effect of the upper and lower ranks, the entire aristocratic circle is very heavy in raising slaves, and they are precisely the privileged class, with a lot of wealth.
Satan patted Sabo on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Remember, if capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged."
"Therefore, even if the world government prohibits it, the slave trade is still the hottest and most profitable trade in the black market, and there are countless slave traders and slave catchers in the world every day, and even some world nobles, naval officers, and world government officials are involved.
"Nobles again
?" Sabo clenched his fists tightly after hearing Satan's words, "Why are all the sins of nobles in them?" "
Hehe, it's too early to think about that.
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 if you are strong, you are qualified to seek answers." "
