Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

Those [untouchables] don’t deserve to eat at all!

Yes, other reasons are not the point, this is the reason.

The sound in the house was not deliberately lowered, so the workers also heard this sentence.

I don’t know if it was Luffy and Byakuya who gave them the confidence, or if this sentence completely ignited their anger.

The man who had been on his knees begging the overseer for more pay suddenly rushed over.

He grabbed the collar of the house, his eyes red as he shouted:

"Why? Why? We just want to live, why do you treat us like this? What crime have we committed!!!"

A single stone stirs up a thousand waves, and angry voices rise one after another:

"Yes, why!!!"

"We can wear ragged clothes, eat rotten food, and live in the mud, but why! Why don't you allow us to survive in this way?!"

“We just want to live!!!”

...

The voices of condemnation grew louder and louder, and some people even rushed over here.

This scene completely frightened the whole house. He broke free from the man's hands and hid behind Luffy and Byakuya with a nimble figure, his face full of fear.

"My two lords, help me. I am only answering your questions. You have to make the decision for me! If they rush over, I will be one step ahead of you two!!!"

Just be the leader of your circle... Bai Ye was speechless again. This guy is really good at taking advantage of others.

The workers still retained their rationality, and when they saw the house hiding behind Luffy and the others, they also stopped.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at the two of them, as if waiting for something.

Seeing this, Bai Ye could only speak to comfort them: "You should all be the people in the town of Pick Up. This morning, our Straw Hat Pirates have distributed enough food in the town, and our ship's doctor is also treating people in the town. You can go back now."

As they were talking, someone from Jianlou Town also arrived, bringing the same news as Bai Ye's.

Next, most of the workers expressed their gratitude to Luffy and Byakuya, and hurried back towards the town.

But some people still stayed, and Bai Ye recognized them.

Most of them were workers who had been abused by supervisors in the manor before.

"If you want revenge, you can start now. Of course, this guy can't. He has to wait until we finish asking questions."

Bai Ye pointed at the supervisors lined up in the field with one hand and patted the man on the shoulder with the other.

At this moment, the expression in the room was as ugly as it could be.

So you don't want me anymore after you asked me that question! Didn't I lick you hard enough?

Bai Ye didn't care what the house thought. This guy was not a good person anyway.

However, Bai Ye was surprised by the reaction of the remaining workers.

The father holding the coin shook his head. “We don’t want revenge on these people. We just want to know why we have to live like this.”

Having said that, he looked at Luffy and Byakuya:

"We can see that the two adults are good people, but please rest assured, we will not [kidnap] the two to help us get justice."

"If possible, we would like to hear the opinions of both adults."

At this point, the man choked up a little:

“Do we deserve such a hard life? Are our children destined to live such a life as well?”

"If not, can we risk our lives to open a new path for our children?"

...

Luffy still said nothing, and Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the people who stayed behind also showed expressions of gratitude and deliberately moved away.

"Go on." Bai Ye said.

"Ah? Eh." The house reacted for a moment before continuing:

"In fact, the current situation has not always been like this. At least more than a decade ago, before General Kurotan...did that, Jiuli was not that bad."

"At that time, the daimyo of Kuri was Kozuki Oden. Although he was a scoundrel, he was worthy of the people of Kuri, including this farm now. You two adults don't know that it is actually..."

"We know, let's skip this part." Bai Ye interrupted the room.

"Hey." The room nodded in response: "Let's talk about what happened after General Kurotan took office. General Kurotan is different from his predecessor. To him, only those who are useful to him have the right to live well."

"Let's not talk about the Flower City, just talk about Boluo Town. The people living there are all businessmen that the general thinks are useful, as well as sumo wrestlers and the like. As for those who the general thinks are useless, they were all driven out..."

"Add to that the remnants of the Kozuki clan who still support them, and that's why we have the Jianlou Town."

"For the general, it doesn't matter how these people are alive, or even if they are alive. If there were no one to do the dirty work, the general would have killed them long ago."

"They are actually slaves, right?" Bai Ye said, "These people are the slaves of Wano Country. In the eyes of the general and those who claim to be superior to others, these people have no human rights and are not even regarded as human beings."

"Oh, my Lord, you are the one who sees things clearly. I have said a lot, but it is not as good as one word from you."

The house licked it along.

Get out of the way...Bai Ye just rolled his eyes at the house.

He first looked at the workers. They had heard what he had just said to the house, and the expressions on their faces at this moment were indescribable.

Or rather, they don't know what expression to make.

That's it? That's the reason? It's really this ridiculous reason that they already knew...

They originally thought that this ridiculous reason was just used by the officials to laugh at them and others, and there must be some inside story behind it, such as being related to the Kozuki clan, or being related to some evil experiment.

But now it seems that they were all wrong.

The reason why they have such a hard time is really just because they feel useless...

Bai Ye didn't say anything either, and he didn't need to say anything.

Is there anything more ridiculous in this world than this?

But unfortunately, there is nothing more real in this world than this.

"Luffy, you have made your decision too."

Luffy hadn't spoken since then.

He just listened to what was said in the house and looked at the beautiful farm in front of him without saying a word.

But Bai Ye still knew that Luffy had made his decision.

"Ah."

Luffy replied, turning his head to look at Bai Ye:

"I have decided. I will take this country away from Kurozumi Orochi."

At this moment, Luffy completely understood.

Even if he took away all the food on the ship and distributed it to the people in the Leakage Town, what would that matter?

As soon as he leaves, these people will return to their original lives because that's the rule.

To change all this, another choice is needed.

That is to become the one who makes the rules!

He wanted to ensure that people like Ayu would no longer suffer from hunger, and that hard-working workers would be entitled to eat the food they produced through their own labor.

so...

"I'm going to be willful again, Bai Ye." Luffy said with a smile.

"It is the deputy captain's job to let the captain do what he wants." Bai Ye replied with a smile.
