The profiteer on the Grand Line [One Piece]

Andrea, who did not continue to tease Luo, left there directly, still holding the black bag given to her by the bartender in her hand.

Although he was curious about what was inside, Luo was very sensible and didn't ask.

"It seems to be getting more dangerous here."

Andrea didn't know that others had listed her as a dangerous person. She hummed a song and walked on the road. When she raised her head, she could see the leaves of the towering tree swaying in the wind.

As she walked on the road, she could clearly hear what the people around her were discussing.

"Who do you think will win this competition?"

"It should be the commander of a certain king's army, right? The adults are all very strong."

"Not necessarily. I heard that some pirates who landed on the island recently are also very powerful."

"Then I don't know. Hey, do you want to take a gamble? Maybe you can make a fortune."

"If you don't go, I won't go. I almost lost all my family's fortune last time."

"It's a small gamble to make me happy."

For some reason, Andrea felt like her hands were about to move when she heard this.

The so-called big competition is the Colosseum, and these guys who call themselves the upper class like to play in this kind of thing.

Wave the banknotes in your hand to bet on your own eyesight to see who can win the so-called championship.

but.

"I heard that the championship reward is a devil fruit."

Andrea's footsteps paused slightly, and now hearing the Devil Fruit reminded her of Whitebeard's group.

Thinking of this, she naturally picked up the phone and prepared to ask something.

The call was quickly connected, and Marco knew exactly what Andrea was asking about.

"Teach is locked up."

"Huh? You didn't kill him?" Andrea was a little confused. She didn't think letting him live was a good choice.

If a being who has endured for so long and still has the strength and brains to give the other party a chance will be in catastrophe.

"..." Marco fell silent, as if he didn't know how to answer.

For Andrea, the other person is just a customer she has met, but for Marco and the others, the other person is a companion and brother who has been with them for more than ten years.

Because of this, everyone on the Moby-Dick was even more shocked when Teach took action.

Andrea didn't ask any more questions on this issue, but just reminded the other party to be more careful.

She would help the other party once, but not again and again. If after a while they said that Teach had run away, it would be none of her business.

"You just have to figure it out yourself."

Andrea quickly walked to the vicinity of the Colosseum. A majestic palace stood there, and there were blood stains at the door that could not be washed away.

She could also hear the laughter of the people around her, and they seemed to be saying something interesting.

"I sent a few female slaves in last time, which was interesting. Let's buy more slaves this time, otherwise there will be no drama."

Entertainment to death.

Andrea saw distortion and sin on their faces, as well as a disregard for life that came from deep within.

Closing her eyes, Andrea felt a physical disgust towards this almost commonplace thing.

But many people seem to have become accustomed to it, and even take it for granted.

——For those nobles.

And those pirates who have completely abandoned their moral bottom line.

"Let's go and have a look. We're still in the qualifiers now, just in time to see who we're going to beat this time."

Seeing the nobles in suits and ties walking in, Andrea followed them in.

The blood stains inside look clearer, and there are also some broken limbs that haven't had time to be cleaned.

A circular viewing platform, the building is designed to allow people to see the battle situation more clearly, and there are large screens around it to take care of those guys who are not so easy-going and have myopia.

Andrea saw that it was a real fighting beast.

There are people, beasts, and slaves who look like blank slates and equipment thrown into it.

Here, the only rule is that there is only one person alive in the arena.

Everyone has to fight each other, or...do something that excites those nobles.

Andrea saw that the largest screen had a name written on it, followed by the other person's warmth.

Before she could clearly see some of the things on it, Andrea saw the screen flash and switch to another one, which contained the scenes that nobles most loved to see.

"Disgusting." Andrea cursed a few times in a low voice, and Andrea did not hide her disgust.

The nobles sitting in the high-level VIP seats were still cheering, as were the gamblers sitting below holding the tickets in their hands.

No matter how different they appear on the outside, these people are essentially the same.

Andrea knew very well that there were similar places in many places.

But it’s rare for these things to be thrown onto the table and make such a big fuss like this.

"Because of money." The person who came in after her said as if he saw Andrea's doubts.

Andrea looked at Luo who was following behind, and the tension she felt when she first saw him had completely disappeared.

Even though it was their first meeting, there was a very subtle tacit understanding between the two.

Luo didn't look at Andrea. He stared at the Colosseum in front of him.

To the people in the audience, the people fighting on the stage are just ‘beasts’.

Just a tool for entertainment and recreation.

The two of them stood quietly in front of the handrail of the corridor, looking down.

Blood is flowing, and results have been obtained in many places. At this time, the remaining people are more urgent. Without crushing strength, many people will choose to take the wrong path.

Seeing that the battle below had turned into a massacre, Andrea frowned.

The atmosphere here made it difficult for her to breathe, and the smiles on those people's faces made her nauseous.

[This is a deformed world]

However, the people living here will not be so aware, because they have long been accustomed to and accepted all this.

——Human life is the cheapest thing.

Before landing on the island, Andrea thought the scenery and the smiling faces of the people here were a very nice place.

Now it seems that it is just putting all the dirty things in the sun and rationalizing them.

Also.

Andrea looked towards the towering tree, and her eyes seemed to be a little colder.

Watching Andrea turn and leave, Luo also looked up at the towering tree.

Bebo, who was following him, hugged the sword tightly and asked in a low voice, "Has the merchant guessed what it was?"

"Probably." Luo didn't find it strange. Some people rely on their eyesight to make a living, and of course they know a lot about many things.

Even if that thing has undergone unknown changes.

"Simply a flower of sin."

With that said, Luo lowered his head and looked at his palm.

Some things can save people but can also easily destroy them completely.

Killing is easy, but destroying a person's body and soul is tantamount to a very bad and desperate thing.

"Let's go, Bebo, don't stay here for too long, you'll get used to it."

With that said, Luo also walked away.

Ice Bear's sense of smell is very sensitive. If Bebo hadn't promised him that he would try his best to be restrained and breathe less when he got into the state, he wouldn't have agreed to bring him here with him.

Walking onto the street, the laughter and laughter of the people around him made Bebo feel that there were two completely different worlds inside, one cruel and the other peaceful.

But they are all the same.

Those guys who are jealous of gambling money and even beat other people without any reason, and make some harsh demands to other people in the Colosseum, may be the most common people you see in your daily life.

It's just that inside, all their negative emotions can be vented without reservation.

"Captain? When do we move? We've been here for a week."

"Tomorrow is the start of the finals, which will last for three to five days. By the end, the kingdom's military forces should be concentrated here."

Bebo stared at Luo for a while before carefully asking, "How about we don't just steal the fruit, but also steal the tree..."

"Unless there are large-scale explosives." Luo was very calm. It was not that he had never thought about this. "The martial law here is very severe. Even pirates will only carry some guns. You can find that type of ability here. By?"

"...I think the merchant should be able to get it out directly." Bebo muttered.

He had seen Andrea's operation, and the other party completely created something out of nothing. Although he couldn't understand how it was done, he still felt that the other party should be able to do it.

Luo looked at Bebo as if his own dog had a dog outside, very complicated. "You've only met her once."

"Eh? But I think the businessman is a good person."

"You watched her kill a whole bunch of people in a tavern and you think she's a good person?"

"But aren't those pirates killing each other?"

"..." Luo is really worried that his bear will be taken away.

But this matter is not too important. Anyway, Bebo thought the stranger was nice before, but soon he forgot about it. As long as he didn't say anything, he would not have any contact with the other person in the future...

There should be no contact.

Luo was a little skeptical.

To him, Andrea symbolizes danger.

However, he did not deny the other party's power, especially the statement that he could buy anything.

If Luo didn't have so much money and the strength to face Andrea, he might have gone to the other party to buy something.

Andrea, who was standing at the corner, laughed as she watched the man and the bear leave.

The little brother with a sense of justice was going to do something by the way, how could she miss it? Of course, we should try our best to help each other.

As an alliance country that pays heavenly gold all year round, the strength of the naval station here is also good.

The strength of the brigadier generals in the branch will be slightly inferior, but they can definitely be ranked high in the entire Grand Line.

There are serious polarizations in the Navy. There are people like Garp who really shake their fists in the face of everything for justice, and there are also people who trample the flag of justice under their feet for something else.

The king looked at the man standing next to him and raised his chin slightly, "Don't make any mistakes this time. Some pirates almost hit me last time."

"Of course." The justice cloak behind the speaking general was swaying in the wind, with a thick flattering smile on his face.
