"What? You rescued slaves from Marie Joa?" Hancock said in surprise. "Why have I never heard of this?"
"Oh, Marigio's group seems to have covered this up as an earthquake, right?" Yang Tai said nonchalantly.
"It seems that since that incident, the Navy and the World Government have not even increased my bounty!"
"This is the first time I know that if I do something too big, even the World Government and the Navy will help me cover it!"
"Did you do the Mariejoia earthquake?" Hancock's eyes almost popped out of his head as he showed a classic One Piece emoticon.
"To be precise, it was my fight with a certain person that caused the Mariejoia earthquake." Yota said to Hancock, wagging his finger.
"You're not kidding, are you? As far as I know, there was a huge slope gap in the Red Earth Continent because of that battle! Even now, ordinary people can climb up that slope to the Holy Land Mary Joa!"
Although Marie Joa is located in a relatively low part of the Red Earth Continent, it is at least several kilometers high! Moreover, the Red Earth Continent itself is extremely hard, far better than ordinary earth and rocks.
In addition, since the Red Earth Continent is called a continent, its width is definitely not short, at least tens or hundreds of kilometers.
In that case, a slope was blasted out, which even reached the sea surface. The distance was almost more than 10,000 meters. How could it be done manually?
"Yes, that slope was created by my last blow, and I lost my life because of it." Yang Tai nodded and said.
Hancock didn't know what to say for a moment. She even suspected that Yang Tai was talking nonsense, but after looking at the chart in Yang Tai's hand, she began to have doubts again.
If Yota was lying directly, there would be no need to produce so many witnesses? And if he didn't see anyone by then, wouldn't it be exposed easily?
Yota didn't think about that much. He didn't care whether Hancock believed it or not. He just hoped that the Nine Snakes Pirates could divert some of their slaves.
"Because you were once a slave of the Tianlong people, I still trust you. If you can meet someone from the revolutionary army, you might as well let them go there to develop some people."
"Of course, I suspect that maybe some people have left. After all, even if some people become slaves, their families still have concerns."
"Anyway, just do your best."
After finishing the conversation, Yang Tai found Hancock a little silent and couldn't help but feel a little strange. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"I said nothing wrong, I just want to ask you... did you really go and attack Mary Joa? There... how dare you go there?"
Yang Tai understood something immediately, shook his head, and said to Hancock: "Have you ever heard of elephants in the zoo?"
"When the elephants were young, many zoo people would tie the elephant's legs with a thin hemp rope. At this time, because the elephant was still very young, no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free from the rope."
"As the elephants grow older, they struggle less and less because they think they can't break free of the hemp rope no matter how hard they struggle."
"So when the elephant is fully grown, you can often see a thin hemp rope completely tying it. At this time, although the elephant can easily break away from the hemp rope, it has already
I have lost the courage and confidence to break free."
Hancock's face was uncertain. What did Yang Tai mean by these words? How could she not hear it? However, she just said calmly: "You don't understand, they are world nobles..."
"I have rescued many slaves." Yang Tai's voice was a little cold. "They once told me that being a slave under the Celestial Dragons can be said to be tortured. It is better to die directly and be done with it."
"I had a question in my mind at that time. Since they were not even afraid of death at that time, why were they afraid of the Celestial Dragons and did not dare to die with them?"
"You know, in addition to some helpless guys among these slaves, there are even people like giants and big pirates with a bounty of tens of millions! If they really try their best and fight to the death.
If we fight, even if the Tianlong people have bodyguards around them, it is definitely not impossible to die with them!"
Then, Yang Tai's eyes turned to Boya Hancock. "Perhaps, these slaves have thousands of reasons in their hearts to convince themselves, but in fact they are just excuses. The only reason is that they have lost all their courage.
and faith have been completely enslaved!”
"Stop talking!" Hancock put his head in his hands and yelled.
After a while, Hancock, who was already in tears, looked up at Yang Tai and said, "You don't understand anything..."
"No, I know very well, isn't it just that you have been domesticated?" Yang Tai said with a sneer. "Although the traces on your back have been removed, the traces in your heart have never disappeared."
"Let me ask you something, if the Celestial Dragon who enslaved you appeared in front of you now, would you kill him?"
Hancock trembled all over, his eyes slightly confused.
Will you kill him? Or will you be like now, trembling with fear?
"I...I don't know..."
"Okay, I don't know that these three words have already explained your thoughts." Yang Tai shook his head helplessly.
"With your current ability, even if there are 100 Tianlong people in front of you, you can slap them all to death."
"In that case, what are you still afraid of? Are you afraid that the Celestial Dragons will capture you as a slave again?"
"To put it bluntly, with your current strength, as long as you don't cause trouble, even if the Tianlong people issue such an order, I'm afraid the navy will not carry it out."
…
Early the next morning.
Yota's words did not completely make Boya Hancock come out of the shadows, but at least Yota could feel that the Queen of Nine Snake Island had begun to face her own heart.
The evidence is that Yang Tai can clearly feel that Hancock's aura that was only superficial and was entirely supported by arrogance and narcissism has now become much more restrained, giving people a deep feeling.
.
Obviously, his heart-piercing words still had some effect.
When the growing elephant truly begins to awaken and begins to try to break free from the shackles of its own soul, it won't be too long before it breaks free from the tiny hemp rope.
In the past, Boya Hancock suppressed her hatred due to the psychological shadow she had when she was a child and the fear of the Celestial Dragons. If she gets rid of the psychological shadow, resisting the world government may have to be put on the agenda.
Yang Tai will wait and see what kind of flowers will bloom from the seeds he plants.
