Chapter 271 Open and honest
The five old stars thought Odo wanted to scan their face again, so they relied on their own face to convince them, and forgive Sher Tiger for free.
The government once extended an olive branch to Odo and invited him to join the King of the Seven Warriors. At that time, Odo's request was to use privileges to pardon Barrett.
How similar is this scene?
Odo said in a weird tone: "Hold Fisher Tiger? Don't make a mistake, I have no interest in him... No, I should say that I have a little interest, but only for his personality. What I care about is a fishman named Jinping on their boat."
The Five Old Stars were stunned. Jinping was also within their attention range, but they did not seem to have particularly outstanding strength. At most, it was pretty good. In a hurry, the Five Old Stars couldn't understand what Odo had liked Jinping.
"Jimbet? No. 2 character of the Sun Pirates, do you know him?"
Odo popped his finger and said, "I have met you. Let me recruit you first. If it doesn't work, I'll leave it to the world government for the treatment."
The Five Old Stars did not answer positively, but said: "If this mission is completed successfully, the government can even support you incorporating Fishman Island into your territory."
Odo laughed and said, "Are you hinting that I went to war with Whitebeard? I do have the idea of winning the title of the strongest man, but it seems not very cost-effective for a fishman island, right?"
The five old stars tentatively said: "With your strength and Barrett's strength, you are enough to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, right?"
Odo smiled faintly and said, "I am not Kaido, and I will not provoke other emperors rashly. In the past, I was regarded as a newcomer and a small character by them, but now I, if I provoke Whitebeard, it will probably evolve into a full-scale war. You should know the character of that guy Whitebeard? If he beats to death and injure his son, he will definitely be in trouble."
If Odo simply asked Whitebeard to compete, his sons would not stop him, but Odo did not have that time to fight alone, of course he would look for Kaido.
Once the two sides start a war, the captains in the Whitebeard Pirates will inevitably stand in front of their father without hesitation, and there will inevitably be some casualties.
Whitebeard has the terrifying power to shake the sky, sea, and land. Once he takes all his strength, overturns the sea and destroys the island, it is simply easy. The bosses on both sides have extraordinary destructive power, which can cause huge damage to his younger brothers. It is better not to fight until they have no choice.
The Five Old Stars stopped persuading him and said, "It's up to you. If you want to recruit other people in the Sun Pirates, it depends on your own ability, but Fisher Tiger must be captured alive! The government will conduct a trial on him and announce it to the public."
"Then let the CP agency dispatch, and I will also send my subordinates to join forces to search for them." Odo agreed, and then changed his voice, "However, the five old stars, there is a question, I have always wanted to ask you."
"explain."
Odo's tone became serious, with a scent of inquiry and questioning: "Why do you allow human trafficking to exist? Is it due to disputes within the government's interests? Or is it greedy for that little profit?"
The five old stars said flatly: "You made a mistake in Odo. There is no human trafficking at all! Even if there is one, it is illegal, because the government explicitly stipulates that slave trafficking is prohibited!"
Odo smiled and said, "It would be too ugly to cover up like this in our relationship, right?"
The five old stars snorted coldly, and stopped saying those hypocritical words: "What do you think the highest power of the government is? Imagine that if you become One Piece, can you order all pirates to act according to the rules you set?"
"Well...this is true, but at least, you can introduce laws to crack down on human trafficking, right?"
Odo's questions are full of doubts and distrust of the Five Elders, which makes the Five Elders a little embarrassed.
"What are you talking about? Odo, think about it carefully! Even under the pressure of the Tianlong people, they did not legalize human trafficking. Who do you think is the one that works in it?"
Odo suddenly became silent. Some things, if you don’t think about them deeper, you really don’t understand them.
With the character of the Tianlong people, although they don’t care about any laws or laws, if they can legalize slave trade, they will definitely get more "fun". However, the government’s orders to ban slave trade are contrary to the will of the Tianlong people.
The only one who can suppress the Tianlong people is the higher-ranking Tianlong people.
Odo asked himself, he was still prejudiced and always liked to think about problems from the perspective of moving closer to the Straw Hats.
But there is nothing we can do about this. "Straw Hat" Luffy is the protagonist after all, and the perspective of the story is centered on him.
"It seems that I misunderstood." Odo showed a little apology in his words.
"The government's work is quite complicated, and it is impossible to avoid various problems." The tone of the Five Old Stars also eased, "But from this point of view, there are still many barriers between us, but this is normal. The twenty kings of that year also went through many things before they finally joined together."
"Um?"
Odo couldn't help but think, was the Five Old Star's words hinting him?
"So, since all the five old stars have talked about this, I guess you won't mind asking me some more sensitive topics, right?"
Since both sides intend to reach a further cooperation, Odo believes that it is necessary to clarify some issues.
The five old stars said "um" and Odo continued to ask: "What's wrong with the existence of the dragon people? Why should they be given such great privileges?"
The Five Old Stars said in a calm tone and replied: "What's there to understand? The Tianlong Man is a legal proof of the existence of the world government. If Roger has descendants, then his descendants will definitely become aliens among the pirates and enjoy privileges. Even including you, Odo, your descendants are engaged to princesses in other countries before they were born? Can ordinary people receive such treatment?"
Odo shook his head and said, "I'm not asking this... Forget it, I already know, the people of Tianlong have been corrupted by their rights."
From the outside world's view, the dragons are all stupid as pigs, wantonly and arrogant, but considering that they have enjoyed 800 years of privilege, it seems that they are not incomprehensible.
Even Odo has the idea of laziness. Recently, he has been a little addicted to Fufu's gentleness, let alone the dragon people who can enjoy everything in the world. Depravity is inevitable.
However, there are also wise characters in this group, such as the Five Old Stars.
Today, the conversation between the two sides has gone further in the relationship that is already close to each other, and it feels a bit open and honest and revealing its voice.
This is the first time that Odo realized that the five old stars do not seem to be the real villains. At least, they have made considerable contributions to maintaining the stability of the world pattern.
If it were Luffy, the stubborn guy who came to be the Five Old Stars, it would have been a big mess.
"Then let it go. You can arrange the staff as soon as possible and cooperate with me to act together. I will take this mission!"
......
Two more months passed, one day in June, the Sun Pirates returned to the paradise through the passage of Fishman Island.
On the sea, a ship with a sun-shaped flag is sailing through the wind and waves, sailing in the vast ocean.
The crew of the Sun Pirates are holding a banquet, with a serene and cheerful atmosphere.
They had just sent the two slave sisters back to their hometown and defeated a warship that accidentally discovered them. Although it was a bit difficult along the way, they were very satisfied, making their spirits even more high and firm.
However, there is a guy who doesn't think so.
Aaron sat cross-legged on the ground, drinking silently, but felt quite irritated.
"Why...why is it human?"
The person Aaron admires the most is Fisher Tiger, the eldest brother of Fisher Street, who is also willing to serve Tiger, but most of the slaves sent by Tiger are humans.
After all, in this world, humans still occupy the majority.
The disgust, hatred, and admiration and respect for Tiger were stirred up in his heart, making Aaron feel extremely depressed.
"Brother Aaron?"
Xiaoba, the octopus man with six arms, held six glasses of beer and got to Aaron's side and asked curiously: "What are you thinking?"
Aaron is also the eldest brother of Fishman Street, and he also has admirers, namely the captain of the New Fishman Pirates, Hoddy Jones.
Aaron was anxious and too lazy to explain, and said casually: "It's nothing."
Xiao Ba is a simple-minded person and a simple mind. He didn't even notice Aaron's inner entanglement.
He raised his head, narrowed his eyes, looked at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, and complained: "It's so hot. If this continues, I will be dried."
At this time, Fisher Tigeron, who was surrounded by everyone, laughed and said, "Listen to me, I just contacted someone who was seeking help. Let's take him home together."
"oh!"
The crew of the Sun Pirates raised their arms and shouted loudly.
Aaron had a calm face and did not participate. He didn't want to save those humans at all.
Of course, this was Fisher Tiger's decision, and he would not refuse. Anyway, during the voyage, he would encounter the navy from time to time, and he could vent his anger.
However, Fisher Tiger called Aaron's name.
"Along, you did it too much last time. Didn't you say that you shouldn't kill humans casually before you have to?"
Fisher Tiger pursues a peaceful policy and will not kill anyone even if he is attacked, unless the other party forces him to death.
But Aaron is different. When he gets the opportunity, he beats the person to death.
Even Jinbe couldn't stand it and stopped him repeatedly.
You should know that at this time, Jinping, his view of human beings was in a period of transformation, and he still retained a little disgust for human beings. However, even Jinping, who also hated human beings, felt that Aaron was doing too much.
What is the difference between beating someone who has lost resistance and bullying them?
Aaron clenched his fists and roared: "But they are humans! Aren't it those guys who bully us?"
Fisher Tiger showed a hint of sadness on his face and sighed: "Aaron, do you still remember the meaning of our Sun Pirates?"
Aaron lowered his head and said in a depressed voice: "Liberation, and freedom..."
"Yes, it's liberation and freedom." Fisher Tiger walked over and held Aaron's shoulder, "Rare up, Aaron! Look into my eyes and remember what I said!"
Fisher Tiger recalled the torture he suffered in the holy land and felt deeply saddened. This grief was not only transformed into the fighting spirit of the slave liberation movement, but also into a part of it, turning into hatred of mankind.
He does hate humanity, but the sun in Fisher Tiger's heart can suppress this hatred.
"We won't kill anyone." Fisher Tiger stared into Aaron's eyes and said seriously, "Aaron, don't let yourself fall into the abyss of hatred. The way to resolve hatred is not to take revenge, but..."
Rumble!
A loud thunder covered Fisher Tiger's words later, and Aaron didn't hear clearly what Tiger said.
"So, Aaron, you must remember this sentence."
Tiger left a smile for Aaron and returned to the banquet. For some reason, Aaron actually felt a sad feeling hidden in this smile.
"Brother Tiger..." Aaron stood there in a daze and muttered to himself.
Before we knew it, the sky became darker, and a surging thunder cloud gradually obscured the sky, isolating the sun from the sea.
In the thunder clouds, a tumbling and swaying red dragon shadow spans the sky and winds towards it.
The strong wind whistled, and the sea water slapped on the side of the ship, stirring up splashes of water.
Jinping touched her wet cheeks and said to herself, "Is the weather going to change?"
Chapter completed!
