LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 54
Chapter 54 Nuoqigao
Takasago Town is one of many small towns and villages.
Takasago Town is a port town built on the shore near the village of Cocosia.
As a landing port for merchant ships, it was originally very rich.
The town’s roads are lined with houses, shops and hotels.
However, after the Arlong gang settled on the island.
There are fewer and fewer merchant ships that dare to do business.
The town is also gradually depressed.
Arlong’s protection fee is charged on a per capita basis.
100,000 Baileys for adults and 50,000 Baileys for children will be charged at regular intervals.
And Arlong also got hold of each village’s household registration book.
As long as there are people in the village, even if they are away from the village, they will be counted.
If the village fails to pay the protection fee, even one person is missed.
Arlong will take his men and destroy the village!
In addition, Arlong sank all the villagers’ boats, and the villagers couldn’t escape if they wanted to.
And if a few escaped, Arlong would take revenge on the entire village.
Not that there are no villages trying to resist.
But the villages that resisted, too, were destroyed by Arlong.
Just like the current Takasago town.
Originally, the main road in the middle of the town was plowed into a huge ravine.
The houses in Takasago Town are still intact, but they are all turned upside down and inserted into the ground.
The whole town was dead and uninhabited.
This situation feels more like a show than a sabotage.
Show off the terrifying power of murlocs far superior to humans!
Arlong rules these villages, albeit ostensibly to make money.
But more of it is to satisfy his own pervert desire to enslave and control the fate of others.
The villages and towns here were originally rich.
If Arlong secretly controls these villages and does not affect the business activities in the vicinity, then Arlong’s protection fee can continue to be collected.
However, he did things in a high-profile manner, which greatly reduced the income sources of the nearby villages and made them increasingly poor.
After that, if they can’t pay enough protection fees, they will either be destroyed by Arlong directly, or they will be destroyed by Arlong after resisting.
As can be expected, this is the final outcome of all the villages around here.
After that, when all the villages are destroyed, Arlong will declare this area to be his domain.
The surviving villagers were then captured, turned into slaves, and forced to work until their death.
As the soil emperor of this place, as the king of this “Arlong Empire”, he tramples on the lives and dignity of these human beings for pleasure.
Seeing the tragic sight of Takasago, Brin Brin Commodore and the soldiers on his ship were outraged.
They let Mo Chen and others land in Takasago Town first, and they rushed towards the “Arlong Park” in the distance.
The sense of justice makes them intolerable, such a vicious pirate can openly build a paradise!
They are going to destroy the “Arlong Pirates” and liberate all the villagers nearby.
“I don’t know if they can do it…”
Mo Chen looked at the distant Marine warship, a little helpless.
The “wagh energy necklace” is not for you.
For “wagh energy” to be effective, one needs the number of people, and the other is time.
The configuration of the Straw Hats simply can’t be done.
Instead, this Marine unit can exert the greatest effect of the “wagh energy necklace”.
I don’t know if this Bollinger Commodore can exert a part of “wagh energy” now.
At least you can save your life.
Joseph on the side said:
“Brother Mo Chen, it definitely doesn’t matter.”
“Maybe they can’t beat the ‘Arlong Pirates’.”
“But that Brinblin Commodore wasn’t a dead man.”
“If he can’t beat him, he will definitely retreat.”
Mo Chen nodded, they were going to look for Nami, as well as Usopp and Johnny who had arrived ahead of time, and couldn’t help them for the time being.
“Found it! Here! It’s Johnny’s mark!”
“Big Brother Mo Chen, Big Brother Luffy, come with me.”
Mo Chen, “Meili”, Luffy, and Joseph are responsible for the task of going ashore to find someone.
Because Zoro is still in a coma, and there is likely to be danger around here, Sanji can only stay on the boat to take care of Zoro.
As partners, Joseph and Johnny have various secret codes agreed upon in advance.
Under the leadership of Joseph, everyone came to a small wooden house in the suburbs.
The cabin isn’t huge, but it’s clearly well-maintained and very clean and tidy.
There are many lush orange trees planted in the surrounding area, which fills the neighborhood with a fresh aroma.
A young girl with short blue hair was carrying a basket of oranges and was about to walk into the wooden house.
Her skin was slightly wheatish, and she was wearing flip-flops, a beige vest and dark blue trousers, and her short hair was tied up with a headband, looking very heroic.
What is even more impressive is that her chest and right arm are tattooed with blue stripes, which are full of wildness.
As soon as she saw Mo Chen and others, she suddenly became alert.
“Unseen faces… Who are you!”
Although he didn’t know Mo Chen, Mo Chen guessed her identity.
She is Nami’s unrelated older sister, Nokigao.
Nami once told Mo Chen about her sister.
Luffy shouted directly:
“We’re here to find Nami.”
“Is she here?”
Seeing Luffy calling out Nami’s name, Nuoqi froze for a moment.
She stared at the crowd for a while, with a stunned expression, and said:
“It was you.”
It was Luffy’s turn to be stunned:
“You know us?”
Nokigao opened the hut and said:
“You came just in time, take your buddies back.”
Inside the hut, a man was lying on the bed with a bruised face, Johnny was taking care of him with a sad face.
Seeing Mo Chen and others, Johnny turned from sadness to joy:
“Brothers, you are here!”
Johnny wept with joy.
And Mo Chen also understood that the person lying on the boat was Usopp based on the distinctive long nose.
Perhaps it was because he had been suppressed for too long. As soon as Johnny saw Mo Chen and the others, he told what had happened in the past few days, as if he had poured beans into a bamboo tube. *
