Chapter 1677 (*) Bear Child and Fishman Island (10)(1/2)
At noon, the sun shines brightly and the sea breeze looks particularly humid and hot.
At this time, a large group of workers were sweating profusely here, and busy post-war reconstruction work was carried out.
Previously, many of the families of naval officers and soldiers who had to take refuge in the Shambodian Islands because of the war also moved back and forth, walking back and forth between the spacious dock square and the dilapidated streets, finally adding a lot of popularity to the still-spent island.
However, no matter how much Marinfando rebuilt here or how to restore it to its original state, it cannot change that ironic fact, and that fact is:
The Navy once fought with Whitebeard and Naughty Kids here, and finally suffered the first major defeat in the Navy's history, resulting in a large number of elite naval generals, Zuo-level officers, who were killed here, and almost made the Navy unable to recover from now on!
Perhaps, that is, although the Navy Headquarters and the World Government chief commander agreed to the resignation of the Warring States Marshal and Lieutenant General Karp, they still retained their ranks in the end, allowing them to retreat to the second line and train new recruits?
Thinking about it, the Navy's losses are already great enough that they can't lose two powerful generals again, even if one of the two was pushed to take the blame, while the other had a close relationship with the rebels and some pirates.
But those national affairs have nothing to do with the coolies who are working in the construction here in Marinfando. They don’t care about the specific ideas of the senior naval executives, because they just came here and worked from other islands by boat with the engineering team. They only care about their three meals a day and their wages, and nothing else.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Isn't this?
When he saw a foreman carrying an iron triangle and knocking it with an iron rod not far away, letting the crisp metal impact sound spread throughout the huge construction site of Marinfando, the workers put down their work and gathered in groups of meals to prepare for rest and lunch.
After a while, several strong migrant workers with naked upper bodies and already tanned by the scorching sun finally got their own work meals. They held the food filled with big wooden bowls and came to the shade of a crooked tree that was hit by the tsunami in the war, and began to eat in big mouthfuls.
Marinfando was destroyed very seriously by war and tsunami, especially the town of the soldiers and families under the fortress, which was basically destroyed by the tsunami.
Therefore, the reconstruction work is protracted and the entire project is likely to last for a whole year, which makes these migrant workers no longer have to worry about their work for a long time.
In fact, some workers have said in private that they want the navy to lose more games and lose more islands or bases. In this way, their foreman who is in a relationship with the world government and can secretly take on jobs will no longer be afraid of not being able to get work, and those of the lower-level workers will no longer have to worry about not being able to earn enough wages to support their families.
Moreover, when working in Marinfando, the food provided by the Navy to these workers was the same as that of ordinary naval soldiers. Every meal was meat, vegetables, soup, and the portion was quite sufficient. Although they were doing physical work every day, they were now growing stronger.
"Hello!"
"Have you heard of it?"
"A big thing happened recently!"
At this time, when a group of workers under the crucifixion tree were half full and were picking and choosing among their own big names, suddenly, a dark man with rice on his face came to the crowd and said terrifiedly.
“??”
"What did you hear?"
"Is it because Whitebeard died?"
"Hi!"
"We've known about that long ago."
"that is!"
"We knew yesterday morning, and we also knew that his funeral was on a secret island in the New World. I heard that there are still many big names to attend at that time!"
Hearing the dark coworker's words, a group of workers started to laugh and joke.
In their opinion, the big things that have happened recently may be the only thing that Whitebeard dies of illness and the grand funeral will be held, but those things have nothing to do with them, they are what the world government, the navy and some big pirates need to care about, and these little people are just for fun.
In comparison, they are more concerned about whether the wages of this month will be paid on time, whether they will be deducted by unscrupulous foreman, and whether tomorrow's food will be as good as today.
"No! No!"
"That's not what I'm going to say!"
"What I want to say..."
"It's about that naughty child. It is said that she had another big incident on Fishman Island a few days ago!"
Seeing that the group of workers did not seem to have received first-hand news, the dark man with stingy eyes was delighted, and then he simply put down the meal that had only been eaten halfway, got closer and said mysteriously.
"Naked kid?"
"ah?"
"What's wrong with her?"
"Then what?"
"how?"
"Yes, say it quickly!"
When they heard that it was a naughty child, the people who were enjoying the shade of the trees looked at each other in a daze at first, and then soon, they couldn't help but feel shocked, and they stopped eating together, and took the initiative to come to the dark coworker, intending to hear it more clearly.
At noon, they had two hours of meals and rest time, so when they heard the news and the big news about the naughty child, the workers suddenly became interested.
"Did she fight the navy again on Fishman Island?"
"This time, which general or lieutenant general was beaten?"
"Can't there be another Tianlong man killed?
"I guess it might be that the Marshal of the Arctic died!"
"Shh..."
"You speak quietly!"
In this way, a group of construction workers who were afraid of the world's chaos began to make random guesses, regardless of whether they were working at the Navy headquarters, Marinfando, and were counting on the Navy to provide them with three meals a day and monthly wages.
"None are!"
"No way?"
"Has none of you read today's newspaper?"
"No……"
"Every day, I'm as tired as a dog, so I'm in the mood to find a newspaper? Do you think we are all like you, and you only know how to cheat and do those easy jobs every day?"
"That's it!"
"Okay, okay, everyone is quiet. Don't keep this guy in a silence. Tell us all?"
"Yes, let's talk about it?"
"Ahem!"
"Tell me if you say it!"
Seeing that his colleagues were indeed unaware of it, the dark worker gradually became interested. Then, while enjoying the gaze of his colleagues, he proudly conveyed the big news he had seen before.
"Things are, in fact, this is what..."
"A week ago, the naughty kid arrived at Fishman Island. Do you all know about Fishman Island?"
"It is just ten thousand meters below the sea, not far from here, right below the holy land of the dragon people, Marychoa, the holy land of those celestial dragons, right below the Red Clay Continent!"
"She..."
"It is said that I went on the Straw Hat Pirates of the Sunny. I don't know what happened to her, but I got involved with the fishmen and mermaids, and soon the Fishmen Island was hung with her flag."
"Then she easily crushed the rebellion of two local Fishman Pirates, and then announced that Fishman Island and Dragon Palace Kingdom became a subordinate force under her. Anyone who passes Fishman Island must strictly abide by the local laws?"
"besides!"
"The Dragon Palace Kingdom of Fishman Island also announced in the name of her naughty child that any act of selling mermaids or fishmans to be slaves will be considered serious violations of the law!"
"And even the Dragon Man is no exception. All fishman or mermaid slaves must be released unconditionally within the specified time and fined them. Otherwise, once investigated clearly, they will be the most ruthless and terrible blow by the royal guards of the Naga clan of the Dragon Palace Kingdom!"
In this way, the dark worker began to speak vividly, completely ignoring that his spit had splashed into other people's bowls.
“??”
"Naga clan, what is that?"
A worker who was addicted to hearing this suddenly asked in confusion.
"have no idea……"
"It should be a mermaid or fishman, but who knows it!"
"So that?"
"But, what's going on is a bit too much, right?"
"that is!"
"Pooh!"
"Who doesn't know that those hateful celestial dragon people are arrogant and domineering and like to raise slaves? They are just a small dragon palace kingdom. Do you dare to care about that kind of thing?"
"Shh!"
"You speak quietly, you want to kill everyone?"
“…”
"There are no Tianlong people here, so it doesn't matter, right?"
"Beware of the misfortune coming from the mouth!"
"Yes, it's better to be careful..."
Seeing a coworker talking loudly about the Tianlong people, others were so scared that they uttered a drink, and then they looked at the dark guy who was just holding the conversation.
"Hey!"
"I thought so much at the beginning, but do you know?"
As he spoke, seeing that the workers were not willing to believe their words, and seeing that they were attracted by their own topics again, the dark worker couldn't help but feel even more proud, just as if he had made contributions to those things or he also participated in them.
"What do you know?"
To be continued...
