Originally, in this era, the navy had the absolute upper hand. Most ordinary people in the world, except for the New World, thought that the so-called "Great Pirate Age" was no big deal.

But now, the situation in the new world has been so violently turbulent that people have discovered that the center of the great pirate era is there!

The huge influence and terrorist threat caused by the emergence of several big pirates has caused great concern to countries around the world, and they have put pressure on world governments to provide solutions.

The world government has two plans to respond.

The first plan is world conscription.

Strengthen the strength of the navy and increase naval investment in the new world, but in contrast, the annual franchise fees for countries around the world will increase.

The second plan is to bribe some powerful pirates, give them some privileges, and let them serve the government.

For the first plan, countries around the world discussed it and agreed one after another.

The second plan was undoubtedly rejected.

Three days later, news of a "world conscription" spread throughout the world.

February 23, 1505 in the Hainan calendar, Kingdom of Totland, Cake Island...

On the streets of Cake Island, there are a large number of strange humanoid creatures walking through it. It is obviously a country dominated by humans, but there are not many real humans in sight.

But today is different. Today there is a long queue on the streets of Cake Island, from the entrance of the castle to the end of the street.

"Crack!"

A whip struck a thinly-clad little girl. The little girl groaned in pain and fell to the ground. Tears flowed uncontrollably, leaving a hideous blood mark on her back.

"Get up! Keep walking!"

A candy soldier raised his arms high and waved the whip at the little girl again.

"Crack!"

The long whip struck a white-haired, rickety old man, his thin shirt was torn, and his back was stained red with blood.

The old man knelt on the little girl with his body trembling, protecting her with his body.

The rest of the people in the team all showed pity and sympathy, but no one dared to speak out and could only watch helplessly.

Today is the first day of the new year, and it is also the day when the Kingdom of Totland surrenders its lifespan every six months.

"If you don't want to be beaten, stand up quickly! Don't delay other people, there are still many people waiting in line!"

The candy soldier scolded with a serious look on his face.

The white-haired old man kneeling on the little girl trembled slightly, struggled to support his body with his arms, gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Father……"

The little girl held back tears and looked up at the white-haired old man with difficulty. Her body was in so much pain that she couldn't move at all.

The white-haired old man shook his head, bent down and stretched out his trembling arms to hug the girl, trying to pick her up.

"Why don't you get up quickly!"

The Candy Soldier had an impatient look on his face, and he raised his whip again and struck at the two of them. The moment he swung the whip in his hand, a huge black shadow fell from the sky.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, a large amount of dust flew up, and a wave of aftermath knocked down the surrounding people.

"What's going on!?"

There was a commotion among the candy soldiers and the crowd in line.

"Who!?"

A candy soldier shouted loudly, and dozens of candy soldiers quickly ran out of the castle and surrounded the place covered by dust and smoke, looking wary.

"Hoo~!"

In the white smoke, a huge black shadow stood upright, its huge wings suddenly spread out, and a strong wind swept past, blowing away the smoke around it.

Dozens of candy soldiers and humans lined up quickly raised their arms to protect their faces and eyes to prevent sand from the smoke from blowing into their eyes.

"Hoo~"

After a moment, the huge black shadow retracted its wings, and the strong wind dissipated.

The candy soldiers and many humans lowered their arms and discovered that the figure descending from the sky turned out to be a giant black eagle. At the feet of the eagle, the candy soldier wielding the whip had been trampled into pieces by the huge eagle claws.

.

"This is Big Mom's castle."

A figure stood up from the back of the eagle, hugged two slim figures on the left and right, jumped lightly, and landed at the gate of the castle.

Walter and Black Death Mou jumped down one after another and stood behind Ilumi.

“Big big…”

A candy soldier looked at the figure who jumped off the back of the eagle with two people in his arms. His face was horrified, his upper and lower rows of teeth kept chattering, and he couldn't stammer out a complete sentence.

Ilumi heard the sound and glanced at him from the corner of her eye. The soldier quickly shut up and walked towards the castle gate, with the others following closely.

A group of candy soldiers stood at the gate of the castle like wooden sculptures, not daring to move at all.

At this time, in the castle, two black souls were carrying bamboo baskets and harvesting the lifespan of each human being. The human beings whose lifespans had been harvested were visibly depressed and stooped.

"Da da da..."

The sound of dense footsteps sounded, and a group of people from Yilumi walked in swaggering, attracting everyone's attention.

"Mom~~mom~~ who are you? If you want to hand in your lifespan, go to the back and queue up!"

On the left side of the door, a potted plant was swaying, singing as if singing a folk ballad.

"Queue up~~Queue up~~Queue up and surrender your lifespan~"

"mom~~mom~~"

In the castle hall, many potted plants, furniture, dolls, etc. all came to life, shaking their bodies strangely, singing in unison, and surrounding Ilumi and others.

"Yeah~!"

Among the ordinary people who lined up to hand over their life spans, some were so frightened that they screamed. They had never seen such a weird and horrifying scene.

As for Ilumi, except for Olvia and Robin, who were a little frightened, everyone else looked calm.

"Hound!"

Ilumi spoke in a low voice, and two black shadows shot out from under his feet, quickly condensing into two huge black hounds.

"Puff puff puff..."

Two black hounds opened their mouths and swallowed a large amount of furniture and potted plants.

"Ahhhhhh~!"

"Been eaten~!"

"Run away~!"

These objects endowed with souls will only bully the weak and avoid the strong. When they see their own kind being devoured by hounds, they will let out a piercing scream and turn around in panic and run away.

"Don't move!"

A low voice echoed in the hall, and a circle of black walls suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the furniture that wanted to escape.

"You, you, you... who are you... what do you want to do?"

Among the pile of furniture, a solid wood chair spoke tremblingly, no longer singing.

"I want the text of Big Mom's history. If you bring me to the room where I want the text of history, I will let you go."

"The rest...eat them all!"

Ilumi glanced at the pile of furniture that had been given souls. Although there was no use in eating them, there would be no harm in it. It was just a way to scare them.

"Historical text?"

"What is that?"

"We don't know."

A bunch of furniture looked around and started making noises, and the hall suddenly became noisy.

"Puff puff puff..."

The two black hounds suddenly began to devour furniture, potted plants, dolls, etc., and they were so frightened that they immediately revealed the location of the historical text.

"Treasure Room~!"

"The historical text is in the treasure room on the basement floor~!"

"I'll take you there~!"

"No, I'll take you there~!"

"You all get out of the way~! I'm the one who should take the adults there~!"

A bunch of furniture started making noise again, vying for the right to lead Ilumi. After all, Ilumi just said that whoever leads the way will be let go.
To be continued...
