One Piece: Accidentally Becoming the King of the World

Chapter 273



...

From far away, you can see the three towering masts and huge sails of the terrifying three-masted sailing ship.

"Captain, didn’t you say you came from the island? This doesn't look like an island, does it? Rather, it's more like a huge sailing ship?"

Everyone looked at their omniscient captain with puzzled expressions.

Geer was also confused. He had always thought that the terrifying three-masted sailing ship was later modified by Moria, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case.

"Forehead? To be honest, I actually don’t know the captain, but this is a good thing and will save us a lot of trouble in later modifications."...

During the conversation, the ship had already arrived near the island.

The main body of the island is a regular circle, surrounded by a circular city wall. The central island is like a hill, and the terrain gets higher toward the center.

Looking from a distance through the layers of fog, one can vaguely see a magnificent Gothic castle complex at the highest point in the center. It looks like a huge beast hiding its figure, squatting quietly in the fog and waiting for its opportunity..

Opening the gate whose outer shape resembles the bloody mouth of BIGMOM, Mingwang took the initiative to send it into the"mouth".

As soon as we entered the gate, the sea suddenly became calm and no longer disturbed by the waves.

"The design of this inner bay is really good! It is really not easy to build such a big ship from an island."

Tom, the shipwright, looked around and nodded in affirmation. After the Mingwang docked, Captain Geer took all the people to the island, and the group walked towards the castle complex in the center.

Children and women were not allowed to stay on the ship. You have to see everything you see sooner or later, and I don't know if there are still some antiques from the past era on the island. It is the safest to move together.

This island has been drifting in the Devil's Triangle for many years, and there is a serious lack of light. , so the trees on the island grow crookedly and look severely malnourished.

"Ga......Ga......!"

Several big black birds landed on the branches, turning their heads to look curiously at the group of living people passing by.

The six words"withered vines, old trees and dim crows" are enough to sum it up.

Coupled with the fact that the ground is full of broken walls, white bones, and the fog shrouding the entire island, it creates an eerie, lonely and dilapidated scene.

"Click!"

"Ah, sorry! I didn't mean to do it, and I'm so sorry for disturbing your rest!"

On the way, Biya accidentally stepped on a skeleton's leg bone and was so frightened that she hurriedly put her hands together and apologized.

"Hehehehe! It is indeed the place chosen by the boss. I really like it here."

Molia looked around excitedly.

"I also think it’s pretty good, but there are a lot of Brooks on the ground."

Senior said while smoking a cigarette.

"Yo ho ho ho ho, Mr. Señor, please stop making fun of me. I am different from these skeletons. They are really scary. In fact, I am also afraid of skeletons."

"Brooke, don't you think talking and moving skeletons are scarier than normal skeletons?"

Senior said speechlessly.

"Ah yes? Is it really? I'm so sorry,...But, having said that, the number of corpses here is a bit...too scary!"

Although Brooke has no facial features, it can still be seen that he has stopped smiling at this moment and his expression has become serious.

"It's so tragic. Was there a war here a long time ago?"

Fanny asked with a frown.

The others were silent, waiting for the omniscient Captain Geer to explain.

"You may not believe it, but most of the dead here were civilians, and the cause of death was not a war, but a hunting game held by the Celestial Dragons."

Ger also lit a cigarette and said slowly, now it is basically certain that this is part of the islands in the Valley of the Gods.

"tour? game? A game that requires killing so many people?"

"That's right, an island or country is randomly selected every three years, and all the humans living on it are treated as prey. They are hunted freely until they are all killed. As a game and competition, compare who can kill the most."

"Nani? ? ? this?"

Ger exhaled a puff of white smoke and continued:

"Yes! More than ten years ago, the Tianlong people selected the Valley of the Gods in the West Sea as the venue for this bloody competition. Hundreds of thousands of citizens and some specially prepared rare"prey" were slaughtered at will, and the winner could receive generous rewards."

"Is this... really something a human being can do?"

Everyone on the boat was stunned and looked in disbelief, as if they had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. They were speechless for a long time.

"Where is the king? What about the military that protects the country? And the sea, what about the navy? Is there no one who can stop their evil deeds?"

The young and innocent brats asked excitedly.

Geer smiled and said:

"The king and the army were powerless to stop them, and they were also being hunted."

"As for the navy? The navy is just a watchdog raised by the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. They went there, but not to rescue civilians. The navy dispatched a large number of warships. They surrounded the Valley of the Gods to prevent the"prey" from escaping. Prevent outsiders from disturbing the master's hunting pleasure!!"

"how so! Doesn’t the Navy wear justice? is that a lie?"

Funi covered her mouth, her tone already choked with sobs. Is this what the rulers of the world and the navy that flaunts justice do to the civilians under their rule? She couldn't imagine what would happen if her hometown was accidentally chosen. What a sight, let alone imagine how desperate the hundreds of thousands of people in the Valley of Gods must have felt at that time?

"It's cruel, but this is the reality. The navy's justice is predicated. They must first obey the orders of the Tianlong people and then follow the justice in their own hearts, so they can never represent true justice! That's why I didn't choose to be a Marine."

Ger slowly exhaled the last puff of white smoke and stamped out the cigarette butt on the ground.

"Ship... Captain, what happened next?"

Franky's voice was already trembling. A child has a heroic dream in his heart. How he hopes that the story will turn around when he hears it, and that a hero and savior will come to save those poor prey.

"Later, due to an accidental leak, the pirate alliance, the most powerful group on the sea at that time, received the news and attacked the Valley of the Gods in order to grab the generous rewards... In the end... only a few hundred people survived out of hundreds of thousands of people."

Along the way, Captain Geer told what he knew about the Valley of the Gods incident, as well as some of his own speculations about the subsequent development. Everyone listened quietly, but their hearts were not at all peaceful....
