Chapter 60 Hidden Evil, the Best of the Slave Trade! (two in one)
The inspector sent by the Navy Headquarters to the 133rd Branch of the Navy is none other than Kuzan, who has become a brigadier general.
In addition to the accompanying officers and soldiers of the headquarters, Ji Guoyuan also saw another acquaintance.
"Oh! Instructor Victor, you are here too."
The two people who lead the officers and soldiers of the headquarters, one is the brigadier general of the Navy headquarters, Kuzan. And the other person is the instructor of the Naval Academy, Victor. They are all acquaintances of Ji Guoyuanyi and Cyrus.
"Yuichi, what kind of guy am I? Why can't I be a prosecutor?"
"A guy like you can become a major. As the inspector, is there any problem?"
"You bastard, you just came to Xihai as an apprentice, and you actually made such a big commotion."
"Do you know, because of you, Teacher Zefa has received a lot of criticism!"
Aokiji, wearing a white suit and a cloak of justice, slowly walked down from the boat. Seeing the energetic Ji Guoyuanyi, Aokiji couldn't help showing a smile on his face, but his smile disappeared and he complained instead.
Victor followed Aokiji, stepped off the warship, smiled at Yuanichi and Cyrus, and remained silent without saying a word.
"Is the criticism because of my promotion to major?"
"Indeed, such an improvement should be unique in the Navy."
Today's navy has not started the "world conscription". The promotion of the military rank of the navy needs to go up level by level. It is impossible for the future situation to jump from a civilian to a general.
It is already amazing to jump from a third-class soldier to a major like Ji Guoyuanyi. Even though Ji Guoyuanyi killed 200 million pirates when he was in the Kingdom of Nier, he had the merit of protecting the members of the royal family.
Such a thing as jumping to level ten is still too appalling.
During the period when Aokiji set off for the West Sea, the news of Ji Guoyuan's promotion to major had already spread in the Navy Headquarters.
Although it was the order of the General of the Warring States Period, Zefa, as the teacher of Jiguoyuanyi, is also the current guardian of Jiguoyuanyi. It is hard for others not to think of Zefa when Jiguoyuanyi has such a leap forward.
Of course, the truth is that Zefa did intervene.
"If only you were promoted to major, there would not be so many criticisms."
"The biggest reason for attracting criticism is the things you did in Branch 133."
"Simply because of suspicion, you arrested all the officers above the lieutenant rank in the branch. To be honest, no one has done such a thing before you."
"This matter has a great impact, and for some unknown reason, this matter has spread to other branches of the navy, and the reactions of each branch are also very violent."
"Now some people in the headquarters are saying that Mr. Zefa spoils you too much. What are you talking about? The navy is everyone's navy, not some high-level individuals' navy."
"If this matter is not handled well, the matter will become a big deal."
"Yuanyi, branch 133, will there be any problems? Did your investigation find anything!?"
After getting off the boat, Aokiji walked to Ji Guoyuanyi's side, lowered his voice and talked to Ji Guoyuanyi about the headquarters. Hearing Aokiji's words, Yuanyi could roughly imagine what kind of pressure Zefa was under.
Although it is impossible for Zefa's status to be affected by these rumors. But it is conceivable that if the affairs of the branch are not handled properly, Zefa's majesty in the navy will definitely be damaged.
Ji Guoyuanyi, who realized that Zefa was being attacked by public opinion, looked a lot more serious.
In the future, Roger only used a few words to set off the terrible era of great exploration. No matter at any time, Ji Guoyuan will never underestimate the power of public opinion. This is an invisible knife that kills people.
"Let's go, let's go to the base first, and I'll talk to you in detail. Before you came, I have been confining the actions of the branch navy."
"There is no one you can trust, and there are many pirates in the waters near the Kingdom of Mia. Cyrus often needs to lead a team to attack."
"To be honest, I never started the so-called investigation."
"However, Kuzan, one thing I can be sure of is that the 133 branch must have a lot of problems."
While the two were talking, Ji Guoyuanyi and Aokiji walked towards the meeting room of the naval base. Victor listened to the conversation between Ji Guoyuanyi and Aokiji the whole time, and his expression remained calm all the time. .
When following Aokiji and Ji Guoyuan to the base, his eyes kept wandering to the sergeants in the branch, as if they were examining something.
The navy of the headquarters led by Aokiji arrived at the branch, and all the sailors patrolling and in charge of the prison in the branch were replaced by people from the headquarters.
Yuanyi led Aokiji and Victor into the conference room. After several people were seated, Ji Guoyuan began to tell Aokiji and Victor what he had encountered in the branch, and at the same time, he said something about Ji Guoyuan. Yuanyi's speculation.
From the time when Yuanyi and Cyrus hid their identities and set foot on Kane's returning warship, to Yuan's suspicion of the missing "servant" on the ship, to the strange interception and killing they encountered when they went to sea. Enichi told Aokiji and Victor about everything in detail.
At the same time, in order to prove his words, Yuanyi took Aokiji and Victor to board the patrol ship he was on before, and showed them the "scene" at that time.
Ji Guoyuan knew early on that the headquarters would come to investigate this matter, so Yuanyi never cleaned up the "scene" on his patrol ship at that time.
When Yuanyi brought Aokiji and others back on board the patrol ship, a strong smell of blood and corpses came over his face.
For more than ten days, the corpses at that time had already begun to rot.
However, this did not affect Aokiji and the others' injury examination. After all, it was quite easy to tell whether the fatal injury was a sword wound or a gunshot wound. Moreover, all the firearms that fired were left at the scene. It is not difficult to find out this matter.
After inspecting the scene, Aokiji, who learned about the whole process, also relaxed a lot. He also realized that there might be a big problem with the 133 branch of the Navy.
Although Zefa had already talked to him about some things before coming here, before seeing the scene, Aokiji felt a little uneasy. Because of the young relationship, things are not so reliable.
However, Qingzhi didn't expect that what Ji Guoyuan did was still well-organized. Although the method was a bit rough, but relying on the existing things, it was indeed possible to start the investigation.
Soon, Aokiji took over all the affairs of the branch and began to review all the officers of the branch.
And when Aokiji began to examine these officers, Ji Guoyuan was finally free to investigate the Lolo Chamber of Commerce, which had its tentacles covering the entire Kingdom of Mia.
Yuanyi never forgot that the group of pirates he slaughtered at that time came with the order of the "chairman"!
"Super value products will appear one after another in the future."
"Please pay attention, don't miss it!"
"Then, please look at the next item."
This is the venue of a large auction organized by the Lolo Chamber of Commerce. In the center of the venue, the host is holding a microphone, stirring up people's emotions.
While the host was speaking, the lights in the venue dimmed. In the very center of the venue, a beam of light hit the most central stage.
There was a crack in the ground around the host, and the next second, the floor slowly parted, and the lifting platform supported a huge cage and slowly rose up.
"Sarcasm! Everyone, please look here!"
"Lot No. 6! It's five burly slaves!"
"This is the first-class product that our Chamber of Commerce has worked so hard to get! These guys are all big pirates with bounties on their backs!"
"In order to maintain the peace of the territorial waters of the Kingdom of Mia, we took a lot of effort to catch these people."
"Lot No. 6, five pirate slaves who roam the West Sea!"
"The starting price is 5 million Baileys! You only need 5 million Baileys, these pirate slaves, you can pack them up and take them away!"
"Sa! Start bidding!"
As the host's voice fell, there were enthusiastic cheers in the venue. It was obvious that what they were doing on the stage was human trafficking, but the people participating in the auction in the venue were enthusiastic, and the cheers seemed to be able to break through the roof of the venue.
"Some of the previous auction items are quite normal, but now, has the auction of slaves started?"
"Speaking of which, the Kingdom of Mia is a member country of the world government, right? Is it legal for all member countries to auction off slaves?"
In a corner of the auction venue, Ji Guoyuan, who was wearing regular clothes, folded his hands on his chest, leaned his back slightly against the back of the chair, looked calmly at the "Lot No. 6" in the center of the venue, and asked his companions.
"Basically yes, basically all countries have slavery. Once you become a slave, it is equivalent to becoming an item, and it is not surprising that it will appear in the auction."
"There are also in Dressrosa. A large part of the gladiators fighting in the arena are slaves."
Beside Ji Guo Yuanyi, Cyrus frowned slightly, as if remembering something bad, he replied in a deep voice.
"Slaves, how did they come here?" Yuan Yi didn't have a deep understanding of the "slavery" in this world. Seeing Cyrus at this time, he seemed to have some understanding, and continued to ask.
But this time, it was not Cyrus who answered Ji Guoyuan, but another person sitting next to Ji Guoyuan.
"There are many ways to obtain slaves. Some are sold as slaves by family members, children of slaves, pirates caught by slave arresting teams, and others are bought through trading."
"What? Yuanyi, are you interested in slaves?"
Aokiji sat slumped on the chair, looking coldly at the center of the auction venue, and asked in a deep voice. Today's Kuzan believes in "burning justice". Although he will not stop this kind of living transaction from his standpoint, Aokiji can't take it lightly.
After this lot came up, Aokiji's face became a little ugly.
"How is that possible? I'm asking this just to know what kind of slaves are compliant and what kind of slaves are not."
"Look at those 'honest' 'pirates' in the cage, no matter how I look at them, I can't see the appearance of a thief!"
Ji Guoyuanyi's words made Aokiji and Cyrus slightly stunned, and then both looked at the cage in the center of the venue.
Before Ji Guoyuan said this, Aokiji hadn't paid much attention to it. After hearing this, Aokiji carefully looked at the five pirates in the cage at this time, and soon found some problems.
No murderous intent, these five pirates have no murderous intent.
Pirates, what kind of person can be called a pirate? Can those who pursue freedom and sailing adventures be called pirates? In that case, isn't it too much to beautify the pirates? If such a person is a pirate, then does a person like Rolando also become a pirate?
Only those who cross the sea and obtain resources by plundering and slaughtering are called pirates. And people who can be called great pirates have probably experienced countless battles, large and small. Regardless of strength or weakness, the murderous aura on his body is definitely very strong.
But the five "big pirates" who were locked in the cage at this time did not have murderous aura at all, and they did not look like pirates at all. Although these five slaves were all in good shape, there were no scars on their shirtless upper bodies.
"Yuanyi, what do you mean?" Aokiji touched his chin and asked, also interested in this discovery.
"The breakthrough of the Lolo Chamber of Commerce may be here."
"Just shoot! I have a hunch that these five people can give me the information I want."
As soon as Ji Guoyuan spoke, Cyrus stood up with his long sword in his hand, ready to make a move, but when he stood up, he found that both Ji Guoyuan and Aokiji were sitting on their seats with strange looks on their faces. With Cyrus.
Seeing that Qingzhi and Ji Guoyuan didn't move, Cyrus scratched his head strangely, and asked, "Didn't we just make a move? What are we waiting for?"
Hearing the words, Aokiji stopped breathing, slightly widened his eyes and looked at Cyrus in disbelief, as if he saw some strange species. Seeing the seriousness on Cyrus' face, Aokiji finally sighed , said:
"A direct shot is a direct shot, but it's not now!"
"There are too many people and the influence is too great. I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."
"Wait a minute, after the auction is over, we will start. Don't worry, there is still time, and people will not run away there."
"By the way, let's continue to see what else will be auctioned at the auction house. Maybe, they still have such a 'pirate', and they are not sure."
Aokiji pulled Cyrus by the corner of his clothes, and pulled Cyrus back to the seat.
At this time, the people participating in the auction have already started bidding.
Normally, the minimum price for ordinary male human slaves is 500,000 Baileys per person. These five people will not exceed 3 million Baileys. However, after being blessed with the title of "Big Pirate", the final transaction price reached 700,000 Baileys. Wan Bailey.
After confirming the buyer, the lifting platform slowly lowered. The host looked down at the auction list in his hand, and immediately shouted excitedly:
"Be careful!"
"The thing that will be auctioned next is the top-quality item in our auction!"
"Sa, come and see Lot No. 7!"
While speaking, the spotlight shone on the center of the venue, and the lifting platform that had just fallen down slowly rose.
And on the lifting platform, there is an exquisite pink cage, inside the cage, a young woman is locked up.
She was wearing a long black dress, and her long snow-white hair was casually draped over her shoulders.
Her eyes are bright and energetic, and there is a wisdom in the deep black pupils.
The woman has a handsome face and exudes an inexplicable independent aura. Her beauty is not the kind of charming beauty, but the kind of intellectual beauty. Even though she is in a cage, her body still exudes a calm and unique temperament .
The appearance of the female auction also pushed the atmosphere of the auction to a climax, and the excited cheers of the spectators filled the entire venue in an instant.
"Why does this person seem familiar to me?"
Ji Guoyuanyi's eyes fell on the woman in the cage, and he frowned slightly. He felt a strong sense of familiarity from her body, but Yuanyi didn't know the source of this familiarity. Where did it come from.
In the center of the venue, the host began to introduce the auction items.
"This woman is not only beautiful, but she is also a scholar!"
"She is different from the vulgar things you have seen. Such a high-grade slave is very rare!"
"I don't need to say more, after you buy it back, just savor it carefully for yourself!"
"The starting price is 10 million Baileys!"
