BXBX NOVEL Chapter 481
Was it in this country?
After the soldiers dragged the woman out, they continued to break into other houses and dragged her out.
There were men and women.
But without exception, they were all in their prime and there were no children or old people.
It was not until the tenth one was pulled out that these soldiers stopped their intrusion and prepared to leave with these ten people.
“Ten…”
Dick said, “Every once in a while, they will come and catch ten people to fill the number of people in the mine. There are only ten people, no more and no less, and they won’t catch old people and children. It’s like regularly sprinkling fear on the people. The king of this country, Krane Ogg, treats the people of this country as toys and plays with them wantonly. If he is not defeated, this country will always be like this. So, please…”
“When you’re done, those people will be taken away.”
Kuro waved his hand and looked out of the window, revealing a touch of red.
The storm suddenly turned blood-red, and the strong killing intent almost materialized and rushed towards the row of soldiers.
In an instant, the soldiers stiffened and fell under the rain.
“This is the end.”
Kuro exhaled the smoke and walked around Dick. He walked out of the window and shouted, “Hey, he has fainted. Aren’t you going to leave? Be careful of catching a cold.”
The bound people seemed to have no reaction when they heard this. They looked at the fallen soldiers helplessly.
“Mom!”
In the house of the woman who was dragged out at the beginning, the little boy rushed out. That shout made the first woman react. She ran over and hugged her child tightly, kneeling there crying silently.
“They won’t leave…”
Dick said bitterly: “This country is like that. The rule of the king has made them numb. They have no sense of resistance. Even if those soldiers fall, they will wait for the next wave of soldiers to come and take them away. No one here can escape.”
“Are you numb…”
Kuro frowned and glanced at the ten people. “Where is the mine?”
“At…”
“Forget it, I’ll do it myself.”
Whoosh!
The tavern door was suddenly opened and cold wind mixed with rain broke in, making Dick shudder.
The man was nowhere to be seen.
There was no need for Dick to point the way. Under the perception of Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, Kuro could sense the largest gathering place of numb emotions and directly go there.
The mine of this kingdom is in an empty place in the mountains. When Kuro was flying, he opened the watch on his hand and made a call.
“Mr. Kuro!”
There seemed to be a long wait on the other side. At the moment of the call, the phone was picked up and it was Crowe who answered.
“Klein Kingdom, New World’s location. Find out what’s going on here and pick me up,” Kuro said.
“Klein Kingdom? Hey, I’ve confirmed the location. Klein Kingdom, quickly check its location and information!” Crowe seemed to be shouting at someone.
Soon, the appearance of Den Den Mushi fluctuated from a bespectacled retard to a wretched appearance.
“Oh, Kuro, Krane Kingdom, I know.”
“Huh? Old man?”
Kuro was stunned for a moment and said, “Are you with my subordinates?”
“Yes, my lovely subordinate is injured, of course I have to pick him up.” Den Den Mushi said with a smile.
“Ah… If you come, I am relieved. What is the situation in the Krane Kingdom?” Kuro asked.
“Crane… This old man has heard of it. That country is the ‘Hunting Ground’. It has been like that since the past, but at that time, there was no ‘Hunting Ground’ title. Later, after the new king took office, it slowly got this name. However, it is not a member of the World Government. Our Marine has no jurisdiction over it, and we can’t touch it. The position of that country happens to be the center of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) forces.”
“The reason why it hasn’t been destroyed yet is that it is a place for many pirates. In addition, the sea near it is a little special, so no one cares about it. In addition, their king is a little famous. Be careful there and wait for me to pick him up.”
“A no-man’s-land… Okay, I got it. I’m hanging up.”
Kuro hung up the Den Den Mushi and flew towards the emotional gathering place in his perception.
The mine is located in an empty place beside the mountain of this big island.
This was an open-air mine. Even under the rainstorm, one could hear the sound of clanking.
Countless people in ragged clothes waved their hoes and hit the mountain over and over again. Such figures spread from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. From a high place, they looked like ants marching together.
Their eyes were very numb. Under the assault of the rainstorm, the empty mechanical nature waved the hoes as if this was their life.
**TIP**
In the storm, a whip suddenly hit one of them.
Among these people, a tall and fat man who was shaking as he walked waved his whip and almost turned into an afterimage in the rainstorm. After hitting that person, he quickly swung it and appeared on the back of others.
Clap clap clap!!
The sound of the whip hitting flesh exploded.
“Too slow, you bunch of pariahs!!”
The fat man waved his whip and shouted, “Faster, faster, faster! How can you satisfy King Ogg’s needs like this! He still needs the money you earn to enjoy!”
Being hit by the whip, these people did not feel anything and continued to mine mechanically.
“Moo…”
The fat man snorted in disdain and looked at the only small man among these people. He smiled evilly and said, “You are the most fun, Sag.”
The person he was staring at was a black-haired youth. He was thinner than the others in the mine and his exposed skin was full of whip scars. Compared to others, he seemed to have suffered the most injuries.
This young man is different from others. He is staring at the fat man.
“No…”
The young man named Sag pursed his lips, lowered his head again, and smashed the stone with force. He seemed to treat it as this fat man.
**TIP**
A whip hit his back mercilessly.
Sarger grunted and stopped waving. Instead, he held the hoe tightly and turned to look at the fat man.
“Resist, Sag!”
The fat man seemed to have seen something new and said, “After such a long time, I see this look again. It’s so interesting. Why don’t you resist me?”
He licked his lips and smiled. “If you resist it, it will be very interesting, hahaha… Hahahaha!”
“I…”
Sag’s knuckles began to turn white as he clenched the pickaxe. He took a deep breath and continued to dig.
“I will not resist you, Minister Barber.”
Hearing this, the fat man’s face sank, “In that case, then…”
He raised his whip high in the air. “You die, Sag!”
Shua!
The whip suddenly fell.
Phew.
A wind blew.
The falling whip was held in one hand.
“Huh?” Barber looked over and saw a man wearing a fur coat and a fur hat holding his whip.
“How rare…”
Kuro glanced around and said, “You seem to be the only one here. So many people are actually not resisting?”
