One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 115 The O'Hara Scholar

Matsurize wandered around the streets of Shipwreck City. It was already noon, and Matsurize did not stay in the palace to eat. It happened that he bought some street food at random to satisfy his hunger.

At this time, the slave trade in Shipwreck City was basically over, and the [-] slaves from the outside world that King Yagyu put into the market were mostly bought away.

It was already too late for Matsurize to buy some artisans back at this time.

At this time, there are only some crooked melons and cracked claws left in the slave trade, and they are all unsalable goods.

However, Matsurize was not angry at all. He didn't think much of this kind of slave trade at first. It would be good to get something, but it's okay if he doesn't have it. Anyway, he has already set his sights on the more than 4 mountain people.

Of the 30 looted slaves originally put into the market by King Yagyu in the shipwreck city, only [-] to [-] remained unsold.

Among the 30 people, there are either dying old men with white beard and hair or disabled people with hand and foot disabilities, neither of which are easy to sell.

Most of these 30 people looked sad, and the original anger and hatred were gone, because the slave traders who bought and sold them made it clear to them that if they could not be sold in the past few days, there would be no idlers in Shipwreck City. At that time their fate is only one death.

However, among these 30 people, there is still one person who is different from others. This person is also highly recommended by the merchant, but due to various reasons, he has not been sold yet.

The remaining 30 people were gathered together.

At this time, the Earl of Xiaohe, Matsurize, also came to the only place where slaves were traded.

Another reason why these 30 people could not be sold was shown in front of Matsurize and other onlookers.

I only heard the slave trader say there that if you want to buy a slave with an extraordinary background, you have to buy all of them. If you want to buy other people, you can buy and sell them individually.

Matsurize looked at the slave with extraordinary background like the people present who didn't know why.

It was a young man, about the same age as Matsurizawa, but he also had a disability. This person's disability could be seen from a fight with others. Matsurizawa probably was caused by King Yagyu and others.

I saw this man standing on one leg. His right leg was intact, but his left leg was broken at the knee. Looking carefully, he found that ten of his fingers had been broken at the same palm. It was very tragic, but this man stood straight , there is no difference at all.

The slave trader tried his best to sell this man, saying that this man was the son of a tribal leader on a small island, and most of the [-] slaves that King Yagyu brought back this time were from this tribe.

He also talked about how brave this person is. This time King Yagyu plundered the population, and he himself suffered casualties, but not too many, most of them were caused by this person.

He also said that although he was disabled, he was still a historian of Harrah.

When Matsurize heard this, his heart was moved. If he guessed correctly, that Hara should be O'Hara!
O'Hara is amazing, it is a world-famous archaeological holy land, and there is also the tree of omniscience, the library with the largest number of scholars and the largest collection of books in the world.

O'Hara is located in the West Sea, but this person was born in the second half of the great waterway in the New World. This is not only learned, but also well-informed!

Although everyone present and many people before him didn't know O'Hara as well as Matsurizawa, just being a scholar was enough to ignore this person's disability. After all, his mouth was not damaged.

On the contrary, it is easier to control this person with such a disability at this time. After all, everyone only cares about his status as a scholar.

But the reason why this scholar has stayed until now is because to buy this scholar, the rest of the disabled and old people must be bought in bundles.

Of course, this was not the idea of ​​the slave trader. It was the scholar who threatened him with his life, saying that if he was to be bought, the rest would be bought together.

Originally, the slave trader did not seek the scholar's opinion, but the scholar's attitude was very firm. If he was the only one sold, he would bite his tongue and kill himself. The slave trader tried to do this in order not to lose money.

However, people in the newly born Pine and Cypress Kingdom didn't pay much attention to the status of scholars, and they didn't understand the value of O'Hara scholars. Even King Yagyu didn't understand it, let alone others.

Looking at it this way, it is not very cost-effective to not only buy these twenty or thirty more burdens, but also continue to bear their survival needs in the future.

El-D-Melon has mixed feelings right now.

Thinking that he was originally from an indigenous tribe in the New World, he was the son of the leader, and he was uncharacteristically young, and under the strong opposition of his father's tribe leader, he traveled to sea.

Mellon has been to many places, not to mention the new world, it is too dangerous, he did not stay long, the first half of the great waterway is Paradise, the East China Sea, the North Sea, and the West Sea.

He has been there, which is much more than what King Yagyu had seen when he was young.

In the end, Mellon settled in O'Hara, the sacred archaeological site of the West Sea and the place with the most scholars in the world, and became a history scholar.

Mellon traveled the sea alone, and his personal force was not low.

Mellon left his hometown when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. He has been traveling abroad for ten years and has been in O'Hara for several years. He was homesick and returned all the way back.

I didn't want Mellon, who had just returned to the New World, to encounter such a tragic fate.

Mellon hated King Yagyu and King Yagyu's Pine and Cypress Kingdom very much.

When King Yagyu first went to sea, he visited Mellon's hometown, and Mellon's father warmly entertained him at that time.

I don't want King Yagyu to come again for the second time, and he will no longer be a polite gentleman, but a robber.

Mellon was outnumbered, his father died tragically in front of him, and he became disabled again. If King Yagyu was not interested in his scholar status, his disability would have died long ago.

The funny thing is, as a scholar, when he first met King Yagyu, he told him that he didn't want this to save his life.

For the sake of the old, weak, sick and disabled standing behind him, Mellon threatened with his life, not wanting these barbarians to be ignorant.

Just when Mellon was desperate, he heard a voice.

"I bought this person."

"Uh, it's the honorable Lord Earl Xiaohe who is here. The younger one should say yes first. When buying this disabled scholar, you have to buy it in a package, and everyone can take it away together."

"Okay, stop rambling, I know the details, let's make a price!"

Seeing that someone was finally going to take over the slave trader, he didn't make a counter-offer. He also thought about Matsurizawa's identity, so he didn't raise the price too high, only asking for 300 million Baileys.

Matsurize happily gave it to Bailey, and stepped forward to tell Mellon.

"Can you go?"

"can."

"Okay then, bring your people and follow me!"
