Chapter 515: Who gave you the courage? Roger?
"Not very good, I don't want to spend money, get out of here quickly and don't block the road." Xia Yu continued to be arrogant.
"Master, your words are a bit too much. It will not be good for us if we try to rob it by force. You don't want both of us to get hurt and then let the mermaid behind you run away."
The hunter leader walked towards Xia Yu with a bad look on his face, and the group of bounty hunters following him also gradually surrounded Xia Yu.
He could lower himself because of the other party's status, or put aside his pride and beg humbly, but this was not a reason for him to hand over his prey to others.
Even the Celestial Dragons have to spend money to buy things, and a small noble actually wants to get it for free?
"You guys are really like moths to a flame, courting your own death. Clean up the mess."
Looking at the hunter leader in front of him whose expression became increasingly ferocious, Xia Yu suddenly felt a little bored. Why was he saying these things to a human trafficker? Human traffickers all deserved to die.
"I don't like human traffickers. Let's eradicate these guys and the forces behind them."
Xia Yu waved to the old butler, who nodded silently. His figure suddenly disappeared, and then there was the sound of the group of bounty hunters falling to the ground.
After that, a group of people in white suits appeared and dragged the fallen bounty hunters away at an extremely fast speed.
In just a few seconds, the bounty hunters who had come with such great momentum disappeared right here.
"Are you okay? Can you stand up?"
Xia Yu turned around and looked at the mermaid girl with a smile and extended his hand to her. The mermaid girl hesitated for a few seconds, but finally held Xia Yu's hand and used the force to pull herself up.
"Thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't know what to do today. Thank you very much for saving me."
After the mermaid girl stood up, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and bowed deeply to Xia Yu, who waved his hand nonchalantly.
"You're welcome. After all, you belong to me now. Isn't it common sense to protect your things from being harmed?"
"ah?"
The mermaid girl looked up in confusion. Seeing her like this, Xia Yu stepped forward and patted her head and said, "Don't think too much. You heard it right. You are mine now."
“Woo…”
After making sure that she had heard correctly, tears welled up in the corners of the mermaid girl's eyes again. She had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den. How could she be so unlucky?
"Crying? There's no use crying!"
After saying that, Xia Yu ignored the crying mermaid girl and grabbed her hand and walked towards the amusement park. He was really lucky, as there was a beautiful girl accompanying him to experience those entertainment projects.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"This is the slave auction place in Shampoo."
A certain Xia Yu raised his head and looked at the magnificent auction hall that looked like a castle.
An auction venue can be built so luxuriously, it seems that human trafficking is really profitable.
Of course, he didn't come here to buy slaves, but he suddenly came across an interesting thing.
"Hehe~"
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Xia Yu showed a cheerful smile and strode towards the inside of the auction hall. The bodyguards at the door acted as if they didn't see him and completely ignored Xia Yu's figure.
When I walked in, the auction was already halfway through, and all the items being auctioned were slaves with collars around their necks.
Almost all of these slaves were captured pirates. As pirates, they naturally had no human rights. They should have thought of this day the moment they set out to sea.
Most of these pirates have been trained, wearing collars lifelessly, as if they have lost themselves.
Xia Yu had absolutely no sympathy for these seemingly pitiful pirates.
If he were asked to choose between pirates and celestial dragons which one he hated the most, the pirates would definitely be ranked first, followed by the celestial dragons.
Although the Celestial Dragons are arrogant, indifferent to life, and commit many evil deeds, they are still lawful compared to the pirates who massacre cities and towns.
How many people are there in Tianlong? It is estimated that there are not even a thousand people, but pirates are all over the world and the New World, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil.
If the Celestial Dragons are lawful evil, then the pirates are blatantly chaotic evil.
There are adventure groups among pirates like the early Straw Hat Pirates, but looking for kind pirates among pirates is like looking for a quiet and good girl in a nightclub or bar.
We can't say there is nothing, we can only say it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, Xia Yu gradually changed from hating Akainu to understanding Akainu.
Of course, he is not as extreme as Akainu. He knows in his heart that some pirates are forced to become pirates, and that is the world's problem.
But here, he wanted to adapt a famous saying of a certain special effects general: a thief is a thief. If you are a pirate for one day, you will be a pirate for the rest of your life.
Even the very popular Pirate Empress Hancock, who had a miserable childhood, is a chaotic and evil pirate.
The Nine Snakes Island is located in the doldrums, and its resources are not enough to feed the entire population, so the Nine Snakes Pirates can only go out to sea to plunder in order to feed the islanders.
Plundering is fine, and it is understandable to go out to sea to plunder for survival. After all, everyone wants to live, and no one wants to die .
But looting aside, the Nine Snakes Pirates will also destroy ships. Even though they have the upper hand and merchant ships pose no threat to them, they will still destroy ships without hesitation.
Anime may not show scenes of death for some reason, but the real world is quite cruel.
Therefore, no matter how beautiful the Pirate Queen is, Xia Yu does not have the slightest affection for her. Hancock is a poor person, but that is not a reason for her to hurt others wantonly.
Just then, the host's voice came from the auction table.
"Although this slave is an old man, he is healthy and strong. He can still work for at least another ten years. The starting price is only 500,000 Baileys!"
The person in charge of the auction house pushed up a silver-haired old man, and the host was trying every possible way to sell the old man.
Unfortunately, the newly auctioned slave was neither a famous pirate nor a beautiful woman, nor a young person who could work, so no one wanted to buy it even at a low price.
Seeing that no one held up a sign, the host was about to insist when a young voice suddenly rang out.
"I want it."
Bang!
The auction hammer fell instantly, and as if the host was afraid that the buyer would go back on his word, he didn't even ask if anyone had raised the price.
Realizing that someone had bought him, the silver-haired old man could not help but look up. With the old man's powerful eyesight, he could easily see the young man who had bought him.
Judging from the elegantly dressed young man, he must be a noble traveling here.
The silver-haired old man grinned. Now he not only had money for gambling, but he could also use the remaining money to buy alcohol. He was really lucky.
At the same time, Xia Yu also looked at the slave he had photographed. He was an old man with sparkling eyes and wearing a pair of round glasses, like an old scholar.
But no matter how the people present guessed, they probably couldn't guess that this silver-haired old man was the famous Hilbaz Rayleigh, the former vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, also known as "Pluto" and "The Pirate King's Right Hand."
Although Pluto Rayleigh has the strength of the Four Emperors, he is not interested in worldly power and wealth. He has lived in hiding since Roger's death. Therefore, most people in the world have only heard of the name of this strong man of the old generation but have never seen him in person.
It is precisely because of his low-key character that Pluto Rayleigh can live in seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago. Whenever he loses money or has no money to drink, he will sell himself to the slave farm.
When a wrong buyer buys him, Pluto Rayleigh will tear off the collar on his own, causing the person who bought him to lose money. If the buyer is very rich, he will take the opportunity to plunder him.
This is the advantage of being a low-key passerby.
Since he retired here, Pluto Rayleigh has been living like this. Countless nobles have been cheated by him. At the same time, because of his own passerby attributes, even if the buyers know that they have been cheated, they can't find anyone to retaliate and can only swallow this loss.
"Hey, let me teach you a lesson now, Pluto Rayleigh, not all buyers are fools."
Looking at Pluto Rayleigh who was pushed down, Xia Yu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth with a smile in his eyes.
After that, Xia Yu stopped paying attention to the auction, and the auction ended quickly with a series of bidding calls.
Outside a slave auction.
Xia Yu bought his first slave in this world. Although he was an old man, it cost him 500,000 Beli.
All this money was donated by the Celestial Dragon Xia Yu. Xia Yu is not a pirate, so he will naturally spend money when buying things, even if they are slaves.
Although he is old, Pluto Rayleigh is still strong and healthy, and can withstand the attacks of the navy admirals without losing.
Of course, the possibility of a naval admiral taking part in the performance cannot be ruled out.
After all, Kizaru, the Flash who ate the Vile Fruit, knows everything.
Pluto Rayleigh looked down at the little noble who bought him, with a gentle smile on his face, as if he was just an ordinary old man without any weapons.
"Let's go, old man. As a slave, you have to act like a slave. At the very least, you have to learn to read people's expressions, understand?"
Xia Yu was playing with the remote control of the slave collar in his hand. He raised his head provocatively towards Pluto Lelian, then strode forward.
Seeing this, Pluto Rayleigh smiled even more. It would be easier for him to attack a noble without guards.
As for what Xia Yu had just said, Pluto Rayleigh sneered. There was no one in this world who could read people's expressions.
He is indeed a fool of an aristocrat. He feels no guilt at all for cheating such an aristocrat.
It would be better to say that he did not kill the little noble in front of him because he was open-minded.
The old man and the young man walked forward with different thoughts. Pluto Rayleigh was ready to take action in a deserted place. If the people in the slave auction house saw him crushing the collar, he would never be able to sneak into the auction house to auction himself off.
I don’t know if he was really lucky today, but Pluto Rayleigh found that Xia Yu was walking towards a deserted place, as if he deliberately wanted to take him to a deserted place.
Although he didn't know what Xia Yu wanted to do, since it suited his purpose, Rayleigh would not stop him.
As for whether there are traps or something, forget it, he is Pluto Rayleigh, he will not be afraid even if the Four Emperors come.
When they were almost out of the town, Pluto Rayleigh suddenly stopped. Noticing that the footsteps had stopped, Xia Yu looked back in confusion.
"Five hundred thousand Baileys is a considerable sum of money, little guy. It seems your luck is a bit bad. But on the contrary, I feel my luck is pretty good." Pluto Rayleigh said with a smile.
In response to Rayleigh's words, Xia Yu acted like a dandy boy and raised the collar remote control in his hand: "Do you want to die, old man? If you dare to disobey me again, you will lose your head."
“Hahahahahaha… your head is in danger? What a funny joke.”
Pluto Rayleigh covered his eyes and laughed so hard that tears almost came out. After laughing, Rayleigh suddenly grabbed the collar around his neck, squeezed it hard and threw it away.
The collar shattered immediately and was thrown aside. The damaged collar exploded into a fireball in the blink of an eye, and the orange flames illuminated the faces of the old and the young.
The older one had a smile on his face, while the younger one had a look of disbelief.
"You...how dare you!"
Xia Yu's expression changed from shock to ferociousness, and he shouted angrily: "You slave, how dare you take off the slave collar without permission! Do you want to die?!"
“…”
Pluto Rayleigh's expression was a little subtle. He had easily taken off the slave collar . Couldn't this little guy see the situation clearly?
How dare he threaten him? Who gave him the courage? Was it the guards who weren't around?
"Little guy, do you know who I am?" Pluto Rayleigh asked with a smile.
"I don't care who you are. I only know that you are a slave I bought with money, you old ..."
"Okay, okay, since you don't know me, let's just say goodbye."
Pluto Rayleigh glanced at Xia Yu, who was full of anger, felt a little amused, and then turned around and left.
"Alas, when people get old, their mentality also gets old."
“Stop it!”
Xia Yu suddenly stood in front of Pluto Rayleigh, and said in a deep voice while suppressing his lips: "How dare you tease me? I am your master. Who gave you the courage to disobey me? Roger?"
After these words came out, Pluto Rayleigh's eyes flickered, and his expression was no longer smiling. He said coldly: "Heroes like Roger are not people that a fool like you can look down on . Get out of the way!"
After saying that, Pluto Rayleigh was about to use his domineering aura to stun the useless noble in front of him, but the little noble who was blocking him suddenly punched him.
"If you dare to look down on me, then you will die!"
Looking at Xia Yu swinging his fist at him, Pluto Rayleigh suddenly lost interest. He was really old. He was actually angry with a stupid nobleman. If Roger knew about it, he would definitely laugh at him.
Thinking of this, Pluto Rayleigh didn't bother to avoid the weak fist and directly met it with his broad chest.
If the young noble really used all his strength, he might even break his wrist.
Just as Pluto Rayleigh was thinking this, a fist had already hit him.
BANG!!
In an instant, Pluto Rayleigh's chest caved in, and a huge force was transmitted from his chest to his whole body, pulling him so that he could not maintain his balance, and his whole body bent like a lobster.
Extreme pain rushed to his head, making his face distorted and hideous, and beneath the distortion was an indelible confusion.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
His chest hadn't hurt this much since Roger died.
Before Pluto Rayleigh could gather the armed color domineering defense, a fist appeared in front of him and gradually grew larger.
BANG!!
Xia Yu punched Pluto Rayleigh's entire old face, showing no respect for the old man at all. The power of the punch was channeled from the neck to the whole body, pulling Rayleigh backwards.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a series of loud noises, Pluto Rayleigh had already sunk deeply into the roots of the trees underground.
"Tsk tsk, it feels good to beat the old guy."
Xia Yu rubbed his wrist and walked towards the messy tree roots with a malicious smile. The strong men in the pirate world were all thick-skinned and tough, and they would not be killed by just a few punches.
