nShout!

nThings like this happen all the time in Area 30. The Marines let people go home, and all the tourists were driven to the ship. They either set off overnight or could only spend the night on the ship.

nIn addition, they also had to be searched for pirates. As a result, some nobles from other countries who came here to play had their slaves taken away.

nThis caused these people to complain, but to Marines, they only strictly carried out Kuro’s orders and were not afraid of these nobles’ threats.

nAfter all, Marines are Marines and they have to follow Headquarters orders. They are not subordinates of the so-called nobles.

nThis search lasted until night.

nAfter dealing with the tourists in Area 30, Marine turned to the residence in Area 30 and began to investigate door-to-door.

n3,000 Marines and 1,000 people surrounded the border of Area 30 and imposed control. The rest of them carried out a large search.

nBang bang bang!

n“Open the door, we are Marines!”

n“I suspect you have pirates here, please cooperate with the search.”

n“We are Marines, we will keep you safe!”

nSuch words sounded in Area 30.

n“Check, check!”

nAt this time, in a shabby place of 35 GR, Basil led the team and knocked on a gate.

nBehind this door, there seems to be a group of low bungalows, which is the residence of the poor people of Sabaody Archipelago, which is generally isolated from the park area.

nBut this kind of place is the focus of the search.

nBang! Bang!

nAfter knocking twice and seeing that there was no response from the door, Basil looked up at the shining light and waved his hand, saying, “Push the cannon over and blast it!”

n“Second Lieutenant, is it too…” A Marine hesitated.

n“You don’t need a cannon to get this place open?” Basil turned around and glared at him.

n“Yes! I’ll go and get ready!” Marine saluted and ran out.

nSoon, a group of Marines pushed a cannon over.

nBasil took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. “It’s inside! I’ll count to three. If you don’t open the door, I’ll blow it up!”

n“Three!”

nBasil didn’t even count and waved his hand. “Give me…”

nSQUEAK!

nThe door was suddenly opened and a few people in ragged clothes stood inside the door, looking panicked. “It’s open, it’s open, it’s open! Marine, don’t attack.”

n“Eh, troublesome…”

nBasil walked in and glanced at the group of people who looked nervous and said, “Marines want to check. Now go back to your own homes and don’t run around.”

n“Marine.”

nA tall man stood up, rubbed his hands and said obsequiously, “This is a slum, no pirates will come here. We have long known the order and we have already called everyone out for Marine to check.”

nAs he spoke, he pointed behind him.

nAt the entrance of the group of low-rise bungalows, there were people standing in twos and threes, snuggling together under the light of the door.

nMost of them were a family. A pair of adults with one or two children. Occasionally, a few children were alone and they looked at Marine with fear.

n“Which one are you?” Basil looked at the tall man.

n“I am an agent pushed out by this residence. I am usually the one to negotiate.”

nThe tall man smiled and said, “Marine, you see, we have always been so peaceful and no pirates will come. Your sudden action will make the people here afraid, so… I called everyone out. The reason why the door was not opened just now is also because of this.”

n“Well…”

nBasil nodded. “It seems that there is nothing wrong.”

n“It’s like this, we are all poor people and there is nothing to investigate. Tomorrow, we still have to work hard for survival. Your house search can’t be delayed.” The tall man said with a smile.

n“Why search us poor people, go search the rich!”

n“Yes, search them!”

nThe two people next to him, who were also in rags, thought to themselves.

n“Shut up!”

nThe tall man glared at them and then smiled at Basil. “Marine, look…”

nBasil looked at the physique of the tall man and the people next to him, and then looked at the group of people who were also in ragged clothes but had thin bodies, and pondered.

nBut logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with it now.

nAt this time of the night, instead of searching for the rich people, he went to find the slaves or the gangs. Why did he bother the civilians?

nMr. Kuro would probably kill him if he knew.

nBut …

n“I feel that something is wrong…”

nBasil felt a little strange, but he didn’t know what was strange.

n“Well…”

nHe looked at those people again and nodded. “Okay, pay more attention. If there are pirates or suspicious people, you must inform us in time. There are orders from above to investigate all suspicious people and prevent pirates from sneaking in.”

n“Marine, don’t worry, we all know each other here, we have never seen any strangers.” When the tall man heard this, he bared his mouth.

n“Then let’s go.”

nBasil waved and turned to leave.

n“Uh…”

nAt the same time that Basil turned around, a few children were standing at the door of a low bungalow, and one of them was about to speak.

nBut soon, in front of the low bungalow next to him, a man glared at him, opened his mouth and whispered, “Do you want to die, little devil?”

n“Brother…”

nA younger girl next to the child subconsciously hid behind him and shivered.

n“It’s okay, it’s okay…”

nThe child quickly comforted her and closed his mouth.

nHis eyes gradually lost their luster.

nYeah …

nWhat’s there to scream about?

nIn the past, his father once said that if something happened, he should shout. As long as he shouted, he would be heard and someone would help him.

nBut this principle did not work at all.

nEver since this group of people came, he had asked the outside world for help countless times and would go out and shout almost every day.

nMarine had been here, but these people got the news and would hide at that time until Marine withdrew and they would appear again.

nEvery time, he was beaten up.

nThen he was forced to beg and steal the next day. Every day, every day, it was repeated.

nWhat is there to call …

nThis is good. They are still alive.

n“Well…”

nAs soon as Basil stepped out of the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at the tall man.

nThe tall man’s smile was frightened by this turn and he quickly bowed and said: “Marine, what other orders do you have?”

n“No…”

nWith a cigarette in his mouth, Basil looked at him for a long time and then glanced at the people behind him. “Forget it, I won’t disturb you anymore. Help yourselves.”

n“Yes! Take care, Marine.” The tall man grinned.

nThey can live …

nThe child watched in a daze as the group of Marines gradually turned around and retreated from the gate, and the group of people was eager to close the gate.

nIs it really just… alive?

n“Call it out. If there is danger, asking for help is the best choice. If you keep it in your heart, no one will care about your thoughts.”

nIn his mind, his father’s smiling face echoed.

n“But, Dad… If we fail, we will be finished, and our younger siblings will be finished,” the child murmured.

n“Wuwu…”

nA cry sounded beside him.

nOutside the door of a building next door, a couple was snuggling together. The woman subconsciously leaned her head into the man’s arms and sobbed softly.

nThose who were really thin and weak looked desperate, but under the glare of those strong people, they did not dare to speak.

n“Sister, I…”

nThe child opened his mouth and watched the door gradually close.

n“Brother, I’m afraid…” The little girl leaned closer to him.

nThe door gradually closed. The child clenched his fists and closed his eyes, remembering their resistance when these people first came.

nHis parents were gone, and those brave people were defeated.

nHe gradually stopped shouting.

nNo more help …

nBut maybe …

nThe child suddenly opened his eyes and roared the moment the door closed.

n“Save us!!!”

nBang.

nThe door was closed.

nThe tall man widened his eyes and looked at the little boy who suddenly roared in shock. The air seemed to have stopped at this moment.

nNo sound was heard outside the closed door.

n“Hey!”

nThe tall man clenched his fists and walked towards the little boy with a sinister smile. “Didn’t I say not to do meaningless things? Marines? Do you think those people will save you? They are just here to go through the motions. I think you want to be beaten again, little Geno!”

nThe child subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of his younger siblings, his eyes filled with deep despair.

nAs expected… Is it useless?

nAt least, exchange my life for these people’s venting.

nDad, I believed you again, but it turned out that your words were…

nBang!!!

nThe door was suddenly blasted open, wood shavings and wreckage flew out, sweeping up a cloud of dust.

nAn afterimage flashed through the smoke and dust and pressed on the tall man’s head, slamming him to the ground.

nThis time, the tall man was pressed into the ground and a pit was created. As his teeth flew, Basil slowly stood up and looked around coldly.

n“I think something is wrong. Your physiques are not right. These people are all thin, and only the few of you are so strong. Can someone explain to me why?”

n
