Chapter 18 Past

The consequence of One Piece Roger's words before his death was that all ghosts and monsters tend to run to the sea. There are heroes who are ambitious and determined to become the next One Piece, and there are wild dogs who follow the crowd just to indulge in a moment, and there are mobs who are defeated by the cruel reality and give up on themselves.

On the one hand, this situation has made the navy stretched and unable to capture pirates, and on the other hand, it has made the competition in the pirate industry more intense - if everyone goes to be pirates, then without merchant ships and bustling villages and towns, what will they steal?

In nature, when the number of predators far exceeds food, predators either starve to death, constantly eliminate the weak until they return to balance, or actively change their eating habits and find another way to survive.

Of course, humans are smarter than animals and will not wait to die. A large number of pirates quickly learned another skill - slave trader.

What a job that is suitable for pirates. When they defeat a colleague who is highly rewarded by the Navy, but because of the pirate status, it is difficult to get paid by the Navy and the world government, they can also choose to use their colleagues as slaves and sell them to those in need.

Due to the chaotic nature of pirates, they could not only sell their peers. Before the era of the Great Pirates, there was also a slave trade in this world, but it was after the era of the Great Pirates that the slave trade, especially the trade of humans, reached a peak in a very short period of time.

As mentioned earlier, William's body was originally the victim of this environment.

When William was twelve years old, he and his mother met a pirate on his own boat. His mother committed suicide in despair, but he survived by the young and beautiful eyes and was sold by the pirates as slaves. After several years of transformation, he finally got into the hands of the Tianlong people.

The long-standing group of Tianlong people still maintains slave culture to this day and is keen on raising slaves of all races, including humans. As part of the slave culture, slaves raised by Tianlong people will be stamped with a mark called "The Hoof of the Dragon" on their bodies, as proof of the slave "lower humans".

No matter what race you are, no matter how high or low your original identity is, a criminal, a businessman, or even a prince, when you are branded by the dragon, you will have only one identity - a slave.

The original owner of the body had not thought of running away or asking for help. Even if he showed that he was illegally sold by pirates, it would be useless. Not only that, the frequent behaviors caused his master, the celestial dragon man Thordos, to feel bad. So at a banquet, Thordos proposed to use slaves to find fun.

Thordos Saint performed a show with another celestial dragon man with a young slave of similar age as William to "pass the time" and "find fun".

William and another boy of the same age were locked in a cage, attacking each other like a cock and dog, like a beast. In the end, William won the victory with the advantage of learning swords in his early years, but this experience undoubtedly planted the seeds of fear in his young heart, so he was very well-behaved in the days to come.

His performance also paid off and soon gained the trust of Thordos, who believed that he had been "tamed". In order to show off his "taught beast", Thordos has shown this to other celestial dragons in public more than once, and even in a safe enough place, such as a boat or residence, he would remove a collar that restricts William's movements to prove it to other celestial dragons.

On these occasions, St. Thordos was not worried about William running away, and William knew that he could not escape, and he was waiting for an opportunity.

This opportunity came soon. In 1505, two years ago, Saint Thordos, as a representative of the world's nobles, visited the East China Sea, the weakest pirate power among the world, to show his affirmation of the naval work. He naturally brought his "obedient" slave from the East China Sea - Morgan William.

During this journey, William waited for the opportunity until a great storm came. He thought it was his opportunity, so he took advantage of the chaos to pull the St. Thomas Thomas fell into the sea. William killed Thomas Thomas in the sea without any consequences, and then climbed a small boat that he had secretly untied and fell into the sea before.

The small lonely boat was fortunately not overturned by the waves in William's prayer, but unfortunately, he soon encountered a pirate ship and was directly threatened to join the gang. As a result, not long after he got on the boat, he was so scared that he had a high fever because he was in the storm.

The pirates were originally going to throw him into the sea and fend for themselves, but they didn't expect that he would recover by himself soon. This process was when "Sun Bo" occupied "William"'s body.

When it comes to hatred for the Tianlong people, William naturally does not have the heart of the original owner's physical experience as his body and soul are both destroyed by double destruction. However, this does not prevent William from putting the Tianlong people in an opposing position. In addition to the viewpoint of modern people, what is more important is that the original owner killed a Tianlong people during the escape.

There are many kinds of privileges of the Tianlong people, and one of the most well-known and reflects its status is that it is established to protect the safety of the Tianlong people. Once offended, even the Navy generals will come forward. No one knows this. Once it is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, from the beginning of the journey, William, the Tianlong people, and even the world government are actually in opposition.

Fortunately, the situation on the ship was chaotic at that time, and no one would care about the life or death of a slave afterwards, and no one would have thought that someone would dare to kill the Tianlong people with a bold act. So far, whether it was the media that wrote the news at that time or the world government that searched and rescued later, they only believed that the Tianlong people who were powerless were blown away by the strong wind or swept away by the big waves, and their whereabouts were unknown, and they were even buried at the bottom of the sea. No one saw it, and no one thought that they were a slave with a low status murderer.

Several young people chatted about the content of the newspaper for a while, and as the lower-level people, they vented their dissatisfaction with the privileged class of the Tianlong people. However, whether it was the wanted criminal who offered a reward of 200 million Bailey, the great route, or the Tianlong people and the holy land, they were still too far away from them, so they came back to the topic.

William folded the newspapers that several people had read and put them in his arms. He specially built a study in the yard to hold the newspapers. At the same time, he summarized the various external information recorded on it, and once he found that it was useful, he would write it on his notebook.

After he put away the newspaper, he asked Edmund, who was bored and biting his nails, "How did you do what I asked you to do?"

When several people heard this, they looked at Edmund. The other party said bitterly: "I was not very familiar with those people before, so I am still in contact now. You can't just say that they want their boss to come out to meet as soon as they meet, right? They will definitely refuse."

William ignored his complaints, got up and flicked the dust on his clothes, and ordered lightly: "Get faster on your side!"
