[One Piece] Almighty staff

Kedoru hugged the big stone blocking the entrance of the cave, sank into his dantian, picked up the stone vigorously, and placed it on the flat ground.

The people around the entrance of the cave suddenly burst into cheers, rushed into the cave one after another, and carried out a dozen or so dying men.Weeping tears of joy and thanks came to Kedolu one after another. He just smiled, and only his round big white teeth and black eyes reflected the light in the twilight of dawn.

Seeing the trapped slave slowly wake up after being rescued briefly, Kedoru took two steps back carefully, and walked silently to another mine. The huge shackles on his feet rubbed a white mark on the ground.

Before he reached the corner where he often stayed, a huge roar came from his stomach. Kedulu touched his belly that had been deflated for more than half a month, and sighed melancholy.

The overseers were all out today, so the slaves dared to make such a brazen rescue.According to the usual situation, there should be faint lights everywhere in the mine in the early morning, and the overseers will loudly urge and scold the working slaves with whips, and a large number of ragged and skinny slaves go in and out of the mines.

If it weren't for Kedolu, the trapped slaves would probably be hopeless.

If a mine in the mine collapses or is buried, the supervisor will not organize rescue immediately.And slaves who dared to save others during working hours would also be punished and beaten.

Under normal circumstances, the supervisors must first count the ore stock in the mine. If there is not much left, the supervisor will avoid the accident mine and prevent others from approaching, and then develop other mines. The buried workers have no one to rescue. Consumed to death in the dark and oxygen-deficient mine.

If the mine is still worth excavating, the overseers will also follow the requirements of the superiors to see if mining in another direction saves time and effort compared to cleaning the original mine. If so, the trapped slaves will still die.

On this remote island near the edge of the windless belt, the forced laborers have no escape, and can only repeat high-intensity work without any pay day after day.

Sometimes Kedoru stands up straight and takes a look from a height, and sees that people are like hard-working ants, struggling to carry stones much larger than their own weight, bending their waists, desperately but still moving forward slowly.

If there was a slight pause, the supervisor's whip would be mercilessly whipped off, and the whipped slave could only resist the pain, gritted his teeth and continued to work.They can't cry out in pain, and they can't be easily knocked down, otherwise they will only be whipped and insulted more violently, and even the small piece of food that is rationed every day will be deprived, and they have to do the same day's work.

Kedoru has strong endurance, great strength, high force value, and capable, so even though he pretends to be a giant with a bad brain, he has not been severely beaten. The whip in the supervisor's hand is occasionally thrown on his feet. superficial.Therefore, he is the only "slave" who still wears shackles.

Of course, it’s not just because he’s obedient and easy to command, one can handle a hundred envoys, and basically no one in the mine can beat the giants. Someone easily provoked him.

Even so, Kedoru, who can be said to be in a much better situation than other workers, feels that he can't hold on because of being hungry every day.

The sea area was dawning quickly, and Kedoru huddled in his corner with a hungry stomach and closed his eyes to rest for half an hour, and the sky was bright.The overseers rushed back and scolded the absentees to start working immediately.

Kedoru also stood up consciously, but waited for a while when the supervisor of his mine did not come, so he could only scratch his head in confusion, and went to work in silence.Others in the same area have already started their daily work, because they understand that no matter when the supervisor comes back, daily workload checks are inevitable, and if he can't finish it, he will starve.I was lucky to get a few extra hours of rest in the wee hours of the morning today.

Without a supervisor watching over him, Kedoru can often help his fellow workers.More than half of the people who were arrested as absenteeism were young and middle-aged men, but there were also a lot of old people, children and women. Kedolu mainly helped the old people, children and injured workers with relatively low labor force.

Brazenly carrying several children's baskets carrying ore to the collection place, Kedoru was about to run for the second time when a thumb-sized stone hit him in the face.

The ashen man jumped off the cliff and landed on Kedoru's shoulder. It was Drake who was also disguised as a slave.

Drake turned around and hid in Kedolu's messy hair that he hadn't managed for many days, and said against his ear: "Don't fuck Kedolu, we will do it today, you should protect the people around you."

Drake is not as big as Kedoru, and his character is not as simple as a giant.He was responsible for more tasks this time. Of course, he was not as honest as Kedoru, and it was impossible for him to work hard while starving.So even though he came earlier than Kedoru and lost a lot of weight, Drake is in a good state of mind, and his blue eyes shine brightly on his thin and angular face.

Drake left quickly after delivering the message, and Kedoru walked in the direction of the children with a calm expression.

After a while, Drake ran back in a hurry: "Here they come!"

Ke Duolu seldom saw him look restless, thinking that something big happened, raised his eyebrows as if he was facing a big enemy: "Is there an accident?"

Drake stammered a little: "No, no, the plan went well, just..."

Kedoru was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Drake wiped his face: "It's Leah."

Kedoru reacted slowly, walked back to his corner slowly, and said while clutching his stomach, "Kedoru seems to be sick."

Drake: "...wait?"

They decided to sneak here together at the beginning, but now that Kedoru is going to escape from illness, does that mean he has to face Leah's anger alone?

Drake severely condemned this: "Cedoru, I didn't expect you to hurt your friend like this!"

Kedoru didn't expect his friend to be so easily hurt, so he could only apologize to Drake with shame.

Liya has already stepped into the mine at this time, followed by two rows of more than a dozen entourages, all wearing cloaks, with only a pair of eyes exposed, exuding an aura that is not easy to mess with.

They were all snatched from Dorag, counting as a little return for him to use her territory and network resources in Bahrain Island in the past two years, it was also just to avenge him for snatching the colonel from her in Rogge Town a few years ago.

The Revolutionary Army has grown rapidly in the past two years, and has recruited many high-quality members. Liya's current wave actually meant to screen out cadres who are not strong enough but have good conditions.

If it can be ground out by following her side, it will be another spark left by the revolutionary army just in case.If she can't work it out, there is a way out for her men, whether they go to the navy or stay in Bahrain.

It was not necessary to bring out dozens of competent generals at once, but Drake and Kedorou have already become famous in the navy, so she had to bring capable helpers to deal with the aftermath carefully.

Although she seldom put on a show like this, her attitude, Leah, was very calm.

There are only a dozen bodyguards in the area, and she has personally seen off the general-level army before sailing.

The mine supervisor who was leading the way humbly introduced her with a smiling face: "Master, these mines have the highest output. Look at these ores, which have not been processed. These silver-white The stripes are so obvious! Even if the raw ore is shipped out and sold, it will not be bad!"

Leah listened with a smile on her face, and occasionally turned her head in response.

Today she is wearing round-toed boots with a slightly heeled heel. When walking, the soles of her feet are tilted forward, which is not convenient for walking on gravel roads.In addition to observing the surroundings without any trace, he also had to pay attention to the safety of his feet.

It can be seen that in order to welcome her, a big customer, the place has been roughly cleaned up.It's just that the environment of the mine is really bad. Even after cleaning, the road under your feet is bumpy and uneven.

The roads under the feet of the slaves inside and outside the mine were even more bumpy. Some people didn’t even wear shoes, but they just repeated their digging and carrying work in a tired and numb manner. No one even dared to look at them, which was incompatible with the whole mine. a group of people.

There were sporadically a few very young children who were attracted by her bright clothes, and soon some adults would block their sight and pull the children away. However, the overseer scolded and whipd them unceremoniously. .

Regardless of adults or children, after being pulled down, they quickly got up and lowered their heads to continue working, even if they were trembling with pain, it did not affect their working speed.

The slaves working in the mine knew that there was a price to pay for satisfying any desire, even if it was just a curious look, as long as the work was delayed for a second, they would be punished.They are used to being whipped and persecuted.

Leah took off the plain glasses with gold wire edges, gently wiped the dust on the mirror, and gently interrupted the person in charge's chatter: "The mine here can still be dug for two years at most, and I didn't buy it for mining, but for Build a quiet residence. So I care more about the source and quality of the slaves than the quality of the ore."

The person in charge's face froze for a moment. The owner didn't tell him that this customer knew the situation here so well.But he immediately changed his words: "Don't worry about this, our slaves are all from..." He pointed his finger up to the sky, unable to hide his color,

"Our master has friendship with the aristocratic family above, and all the supplies he takes are the strongest. A batch can last for five or six years...Look at this! The slaves of this giant family are not only affordable, but also obedient and capable!" Seven

After passing by a gentle mine, Kedoru, who accidentally exposed half of his head, was greeted by the person in charge, and slowly walked around with his head drooping.

The person in charge looked inexplicably at this giant who was usually tall and straight, and was very dissatisfied with his sudden dejected state.He is the person in charge of the mine, and also the head supervisor in charge of the largest area. Seeing this, he habitually took out his whip and slammed it on the giant's toes: "Quickly lie down and let the adults take a good look!"

Liya smiled and watched Kedolu curled up his toes, and another four rooms and one living room were dug out on the ground that was already potholed like a dense residential area.

When Kedoru squatted halfway down, explosions roared from all directions in the mine, and the nearest explosion point was only 200 meters away from Leah.

The airflow was wrapped in stones, and Kedoru jumped forward, covering Liya under him.

The ground was still trembling, and Liya stood firmly in the area surrounded by Kedoru's palm. With a wave of her hand, the bodyguard behind her swished out like a swimming fish.

The person in charge was the first to be taken down. Liya didn't give him a chance to speak, and was gagged and thrown aside: "I came to do business, and I almost lost my life. This matter requires your master to come in person." Explain."

The slaves were all placed in safe caves, and apart from being a little frightened, there were no casualties.Leah nodded with satisfaction.Drake has also been trained in the past two years, and he is very efficient in his work.

Of course, it would be even better if he didn't rely on the boldness of a skilled person to always act first and then play.

Leah checked the caves one by one, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, she walked back slowly while ordering the follow-up matters. Drake passed a group of cloaked bodyguards and walked alongside her, lowering his head to listen to her words and carefully remembering them in his heart.

The road was really difficult, and Leah staggered several times, but she just kept her eyes down and ignored the hands that Drake reached out to help her several times.

Kedoru, who showed his hands and feet tied up and wanted to carry her on his shoulders, was similarly ignored.

Seeing that the exit of the mine was right in front of them, the explosives they buried near this place were also affected. There was a motor across the exit, and half of the road was blocked.

Leah didn't think much, and went around to the side of the big hole.

Drake walked quickly in front of her, regardless of the messy gravel on the ground, folded one knee and stood firmly on the ground, looking up at her with dark blue eyes: "Please let me help you, Miss Leah."

Leah paused, a little surprised.

He has grown rapidly in the past two years, and he is already much taller than her. He is also strong and slender, with smooth muscles. He is the kind of young and handsome man that girls like.Kneeling and raising his head like this, his posture is like a loyal and heroic knight, sincere and handsome, very good-looking.

It's just... where did this kid get all the bells and whistles?Even the honorifics that haven't been used for a long time are used.

His head was just below the height of her waist, and Liya took the opportunity to pat his short hair, which had almost changed a tone, and sure enough, there was a cloud of gray smoke floating on his hair.

Drake: ...

The loyal and handsome knight immediately revealed the prototype of a street refugee, and his temperament was greatly reduced.

Leah glanced at Drake's original brown hair, and slowly wiped the dusty palms with a handkerchief: "Where did the homeless come from, drag it down quickly."

Immediately, two cloaked bodyguards came out and stepped forward to hold Drake up.

Derek just felt ashamed because of the failure of image management, but now he blushed and didn't dare to resist, so he could only apologize: "I know I'm wrong, Leah, can you..."

Leah smiled and waved her hands, and the two cloaked bodyguards dragged the lieutenant commander down mercilessly.

Kedoru did not dare to extend a helping hand to his friends. He knew that as a giant, he would receive more attention in the navy than Drake, and he would be the first to be exposed if something happened.

Although Kedoru himself does not have a particularly strong obsession with being a navy, he also knows that if something goes wrong, it will inevitably involve Leah, who is sure to get him a hand.

Kedoru tiptoed behind Leah, saw her suddenly stop and turn around, and immediately knelt down with a bang: "I was wrong, Leah, I was wrong! <(___)>"

Leah: ...

Then she wasn't that scary.

Although she is indeed very angry at the fact that these two careless guys have arbitrarily mixed into the population plan of Bahrain Island where she is suspected of human trafficking.

Pointing to the edge of the beach, Liya sighed: "You wait there, Teacher Zefa's warship will come to pick you up later."

Kedoru was too nervous to notice, he followed Leah all the time, and he was about to step into the shallow sea area after two steps on both feet.

It may be due to the physical factors of the giants, or it may be because Kedolu has almost never used the fruit ability. Although he cannot swim, he can walk slowly and freely in the sea water below his chest height.

But Leah didn't intend to let him take this matter. Kedulu and Drake needed Teacher Zefa's cover to go out without authorization this time, and it was not appropriate for her to take them back.

Besides, she still has a work assignment, so it's not convenient for her to take him with her.

After half the journey by boat, Liya changed to the docking warship.Sisser waited for her at the port with a phone bug in her hand: "I'm going to visit Santa Marie Gioia, so please be careful."

Leah frowned.

The level of confidentiality of this mission is very high, which is a level she has never been exposed to. She was just following and assisting Sisser, but who would have thought Sisser would leave the mission to her alone, no matter how she thought about it, it was unreliable.

"Puff-puff-puff"

The phone buzzer interrupted her doubts before she had time to express it. Sisser directly picked up the phone and stuffed it into her arms: "The things on my side are more important, and I really can't get away. Anyway, Nuo Beiyin also intends to raise It's an excellent opportunity for you to be promoted to deputy section chief."

A familiar voice came from the microphone: "The permanent pointer has been sent by the newspaper delivery gull, and it should be in your hands tomorrow."

Maybe it was because he had just finished his official duties, when Leah heard the rustle of taking off his coat, Admiral Akainu said in his usual steady and concise tone, with a hoarse voice: "I'm waiting for you at Faus Island, Leah."
