But after hearing this, Yang Tai just sneered. "Homitz here is not just interesting. Violet, you should ask Runti and Peggy Wan, they know more about this."
."
Before Violet could speak, Runti chirped: "These Homitz are not only interesting to look at, but they also have many types of powers. They are comparable to Kaido's former boss's artificial animal devil fruit abilities.
It’s a powerful combat force that can compete with the enemy’s army!”
"And unlike Boss Kaido, who still needs money, raw materials, and various technologies and processes to obtain artificial devil fruits with unknown effects. These Homitz only need to collect souls and life spans!"
"Soul and lifespan!?" Violet said in surprise.
Runti waved her hand nonchalantly, "Yes, Charlotte Lingling, that old woman's soul fruit has the ability to extract souls directly from the bodies of people who fear her. All islands that have received the protection of all nations must be given to her directly.
Pay the soul tax, which is about 1/6 of the life span of the soul."
"This...isn't there anyone who resists?" Violet said with a look of surprise and disbelief.
Runti gave Violet a very strange look. "Who will resist? Who can resist? Besides, the treatment of Wan Guo is already very good, at least better than most countries in the New World..."
"Although it sounds cruel to hand over 1/6 of your life span, in fact, on an island without the protection of the Four Emperors, the average life span of ordinary civilians is probably not even 1/3 of the natural life span!"
"Most people died either because of pirates, because of various cruel behaviors of their kings, or because of the excessive taxes imposed by the world government, etc."
"Among other things, our Kaido Pirates used to have much stricter requirements for the islands they sheltered. Basically, any young and middle-aged man with fighting ability would be searched out, and the remaining old and weak would have to fight for Kaido.
The pirates mine ores and grow food."
"However, even then, the pirate flag of our Kaido Pirates is still worth tens of thousands of dollars on the sea. I don't know how many island countries without the protection of the four emperors want it! Because that way, at least we can avoid pirate harassment and the world
Government’s heavenly gold!”
"To put it harshly, it's not that all nations are forced to rule those countries, but that those countries are on the pole and require all nations to protect them!"
"If your country doesn't have some special features, or food that can satisfy Charlotte Lingling's appetite, people from all over the world won't even look at you."
Violet was in a trance as a result of her words, and for the first time she felt the cruelty of the outside world.
She originally thought that Dressrosa under Doflamingo's rule was miserable enough, but now she discovered that the so-called happiness was all in comparison. Compared with most countries in the New World, Dressrosa was
A country like Sasha, which at least looks a little more glamorous on the surface, can already be called a paradise.
Yota is not surprised at all by this. In fact, even the Whitebeard Pirates, the countries under their opponents also require money to be handed over, otherwise the Whitebeard Pirates and his affiliated pirates would have tens of thousands more
A human army can't learn from the Straw Hats and rely on treasure hunting to support themselves, right?
It's just that the Whitebeard Pirates exploited much less than the other two pirate groups.
Only the Red-Haired Pirates will basically not collect taxes from the countries under them - the Red-Haired Pirates only have one ship, and they follow an absolutely elite route. They can rely on treasure hunting like Luffy to survive.
But similarly, it is impossible for a small-scale pirate group like this to protect several countries. Except for a few countries that once had a certain degree of friendship with the red-haired pirate group, in other matters, Shanks
They won't care.
While Yang Tai and the others were talking, they followed Charlotte Conbot as they approached Cake Island. This is already considered the base camp of the Charlotte Pirates. It is quite heavily guarded, especially with a large number of Homitz surveillance cameras.
, Normally, it is impossible to sneak in here without some special Devil Fruit abilities.
Yang Tai has already controlled Charlotte Conbote a long time ago. As the eldest daughter of the Charlotte family, she has a high status. It is easy to bring in a few more people.
After hearing the truth about Cake Island, Violet, who was originally the most excited, is not as excited as she was at first.
Auntie's birthday party will not be held until tomorrow, so Yang Tai and others are going to find a place to rest first.
After several people walked into the arranged room, Yang Tai used his virtualization ability and quietly found Violet.
It was already getting late at this time, and Violet was preparing to take a bath and go to bed when she suddenly heard a noise from behind.
Being in the enemy's base camp, Violet was naturally very wary. She didn't even care about taking off half of her clothes and immediately turned her head to look behind her.
"It's me," Yang Tai, who appeared from the void, said, and at the same time glanced at Violet, who was only wearing underwear.
However, in the world of pirates, there are a lot of girls running around wearing only bikinis, so Yota doesn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Sir, what do you want from me?" Violet's face turned slightly red, and her mind began to wander again. Yota said directly: "Please help me look at the positions of these two people."
."
As he spoke, Yota used illusion magic to change the general appearance of Charlotte Breen and Charlotte Breen.
In Yang Tai's memory, there were three Devil Fruits in the Charlotte family that left a deep impression on him, namely Charlotte Breen's Mirror Fruit, Charlotte Breen's Memory Fruit, and a certain one he had already
The book fruit of the Charlotte member whose name I forgot.
Charlotte Breen is a member of the Three-Eyed Clan, and Yota has a deep memory of this. Charlotte Breen looks like an old witch, and her features are even more obvious. These two people, Yota, are going to look for them tonight.
one time.
As for the book fruit user, he has forgotten his name now, and he forgot to ask Charlotte Conbot during the day, so Yota plans to talk about it tomorrow.
After hearing Yota's instructions, Violet immediately calmed down, but then she frowned.
In fact, the clairvoyance brought about by Violet's Staring Fruit is described in the original comic as: "It allows one's field of vision to expand to a radius of 4,000 kilometers, thereby obtaining intelligence or observing the enemy, just like a flying bird
"like eyes"
In other words, it is like looking at the earth from the perspective of satellite imaging in the sky. Although you can see the general situation, if it is specific to a certain person, as long as that person never appears in an open place, it will not be good.
