Thinking of the possible consequences, even Ian couldn't help shivering. Teana Wwww. ⒉
Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't temporarily think of changing the route, and landed on the island according to the original plan.
"Tell me well!" Ian also sat down and said, "What's going on on this island? Since you have a mission and are waiting for me on this island, how could you get involved in this island?" Did you go to the battle above? Also, where are Walnut and Yaldi? Did they not follow you, or were they separated from you?"
Keranayi originally wanted to narrate, but at this moment, Zeke and the others found this room, and Keranayi could only temporarily shut up.
"Captain, there are no other survivors in the village!" Zeke reported to Ian, and then glanced at Kona Nayi curiously.
Ian also knew what they were thinking, so he introduced: "This is Kona Nai, who can be regarded as my companion. It was with their help that I was able to learn about the navy's movements when I was in the Holy Land Mariejoya."
When Zeke heard this, he immediately admired Kona Nayi. In fact, when they escaped with Ian, Zeke and the others discovered that Ian was in contact with someone through the phone bug, and they guessed that Ian might have a companion. Yes, I didn't expect to meet them here. After this calculation, Kona Nayi can be regarded as their benefactor.
Through the conversation, Kona Nayi also knew that this was Ian's crew, so she nodded towards them as a greeting.
Everyone sat around Kona Nayi and listened to her story. In fact, not to mention Ian, everyone was at a loss about the situation on this island.
"Hutao, I, and the three of Yardi landed on this island a month ago!" Kona Nay said, "According to calculations, it should be half a month after the Salamis incident. After we arrived on this island, we originally lived in the city and waited for you, but something happened later, we rescued a man who was hunted down by pirates, and we came to this village under his guidance."
"Saving people?" Ian asked suspiciously, "Does it have anything to do with today's incident?"
"Listen to me!" Kona Nay said, "It's really nothing to save people, but we only found out afterwards that this man was actually a miner who escaped from the mine."
With the narration of Ke Nanai, Ian and the others gradually understood what was going on.
It turns out that this island is a well-known gemstone country in the New World. It produces some rubies and emeralds. Although the output is not large, it also makes people on this island very rich.
The population on the island is not large. Because of the production of gemstones, they are basically miners. This small country was originally one of the member countries of the World Government, but because it is in the middle of the New World, there is no navy stationed here.
However, what is unexpected is that about eight years ago, a big pirate suddenly came to this island, and even launched a sneak attack with the help of his pirate group, entered the palace, and killed the king of this country. Killed!
Needless to say, the big pirate took over the country and took the position of king himself.
Originally, this kind of thing was absolutely not allowed to happen by the world government. At that time, the world government thought about sending the navy to capture this pirate, but what I didn't expect was that the pirate king actually went to Mary Jo Ya, when he came back, he became the king of this country. Although the world government didn't make a statement, it didn't send the navy over, which was equivalent to acquiescing.
This kind of reversal really makes the citizens of this island a little confused. Although they know that the Pirate King may have reached an agreement with the world government, but because they don't know the details, they can't do anything about it.
After all, the history of the country established on this island is too short. Unlike the thousand-year-old country like Alabasta, the royal family has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people. For ordinary people, they don’t really care about who is the king. If you have force in your hands and cannot resist words, then it is okay to obey him, as long as it does not disturb the lives of the people.
However, who knows, shortly after the Pirate King came to power, he announced that all the mines on the island would be nationalized, and all miners on the island must serve the country.
He sent people to arrest the adult men on the island wantonly, and used them as miners, and then assigned them to the mines to dig for ore.
Losing their personal freedom, the daily working hours of the people who were regarded as miners on the island have greatly increased. Not to mention the heavy physical labor, the remuneration they get in the end is pitifully less than before, and even if the work is completed, These miners were also not allowed to go home, but were gathered together to take care of them.
This is actually no different from being a slave...
After a long time, the people stopped doing it, so they wanted to resist. As a result, the pirate king actually bought a lot of pirates to serve him, and used the pirates to suppress these miners.
This situation has lasted for eight full years. All the people who were arrested for mining were tortured into human shapes. During this period, some miners escaped from the sea and wanted to seek help from the navy. However, some They were chased and intercepted by the pirates, and occasionally some of them really escaped. Even if they found the navy, the navy made excuses to shirk them, and then ignored them.
After the people on the island discovered this situation, they finally despaired. They knew that the navy had no hope and could only rely on themselves. So secretly, the miners began to unite secretly, planning to launch an uprising to overthrow the navy. King of Thieves.
Kona Nayi and the others didn't understand the situation, so they just chose such a time to land on the island, and the man they rescued turned out to be one of the leaders who organized the miners to revolt!
And the reason why he was hunted down by the pirates was because a traitor appeared in the organization, and he was exposed!
He and dozens of miners found that something was wrong, so they killed the guard and ran out, but when they passed through the city, they were caught up by pirates hired by the king, and a fierce battle broke out in the city. He was dead, and he was also seriously injured. He was found by Kona Nay and the others and rescued him. Ko Na Nay escorted him back to the village of this secret stronghold, leaving Walnut and Yardi waiting in the city ian.
As a revolutionary army, Kona Nayi has a sympathetic attitude towards these miners, so he is willing to help them if he can.
It's just that the time she was in was really unlucky, the man she rescued was in a coma for three days, and it was during these three days that the Pirate King also made preparations and began to fight against him. These miners who wanted to rebel against him launched a bloody crackdown.
The time happened to be last night!
Due to the betrayal of the accusers, the hiding places of the uprising miners were all exposed. The Pirate King hired a large number of different pirate groups as his thugs and began to attack these hiding places. These miners were just ordinary people with weapons in their hands. It was pitifully small, how could it be the opponent of the vicious pirates who had been fighting in the sea for a long time, so after a little resistance, the miners' battle line collapsed.
When I came here, if the pirate king had a conscience, he would just arrest him again, but because the pirate king was already in a bad state, he was always on guard, and if such an uprising happened, let him Very annoyed, he ordered that all the miners who participated in the uprising be killed.
Thus, the first tragedy in the history of this island happened. The frenzied pirates faithfully carried out the orders of their employers and massacred the miners on the island.
Thousands of miners, indiscriminately, were listed as targets of massacres. Although the miners tried their best to resist, they still couldn't beat the pirates who had complete weapons and cannons. In the end, they had to fight and retreat, wanting to retreat to the Escape by sea.
As a result, when they first set out to sea, they met the pirates who were following them, so at sea, the two sides launched another fierce battle.
This time it was even worse. Sea battles were commonplace for pirates. Although the miners gritted their teeth and killed many pirates because they had no way out, they were still wiped out in the end...
This is how things happened. The village where Kona Nay lives is one of the secret hideouts of the miners, and as a result, it also attracted the pursuit of pirates. Although Ko Na Nai also helped the miners resist these Pirates, but helplessly outnumbered, finally caught off guard, was chopped down by a pirate from behind...
If Ian had come one or two hours later, Kona Nayi would have died of excessive blood loss.
Listening to her story, Ian and the others remained silent.
It wasn't until the end that Ian frowned and asked: "It's strange, just relying on some gems, can this Pirate King buy off the world government and let them indulge this place?"
"That's right, if the gemstones produced on this island really have such great benefits, wouldn't it be tempting for the Four Emperors?" Zeke also asked.
When Kona Nayi was talking just now, Ian interjected and asked a few words, and learned that the Pirate King here turned out to be a big pirate with a bounty of 340 million, but it seemed that he had nothing to do with the Four Emperor Pirates. Even implicated, this island is not under the jurisdiction of any Four Emperors.
This is what Ian thinks is the strangest thing. It is said that a place that can produce gems will attract the covetousness of the Four Emperors, right? No pirate will have trouble with money.
"I asked the miners here!" Kona Nay shook his head and said, "Actually, there are very few gem veins on this island. After so many years of mining, they are almost exhausted."
"Then why do you want to imprison these miners and let them mine?" Ian asked puzzled.
"Because the Pirate King doesn't seem to want a gemstone mine!" Konayi groped around for a while, and pulled out a small white crystal, saying, "What he wants seems to be this thing!"
