Chapter 289 Occupying Udon
Udon, Prisoner Quarry.
At this time, the Sky was pouring rain.
The Members of the Beasts Pirates stationed here were all exposed in the Open Quarry.
Their lifeless bodies were left to be harshly beaten by the wind and rain.
This Mine siege battle was naturally not difficult at all for Nicholas's side.
Although the other side had a considerable number of people, the time spent from the start to the end of the battle was less than three minutes.
Nicholas's side didn't even have any head-on conflicts with these people.
Brook used the Staff Sword in his hand to gently Thrust a Beasts Pirates Member lying on the Ground, whose Pupils were constantly moving in his Eyes, and whose tongue was hanging out of his mouth like a Pet Cat waiting to have its big treasure licked off.
He said with considerable emotion.
"Yohohoho, what a terrifying Ability, Miss Bellin. If you were given enough Time to prepare, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to destroy the Whole world, would it?"
After speaking, Brook tilted his head slightly and looked towards the Prison where many Prisoners were being held, a Red Light flashed in his Eyes and disappeared.
"Yohohoho, there are quite a lot of People, it seems the Beasts Pirates really did imprison all the prime-age Labor of Udon in the Quarry to work."
Thinking of this, Brook turned to look up at the Sky.
Nicholas and Bell-lin were falling from the Sky.
Earlier, Bell-lin had used her Ability to easily defeat all the Beasts Members in the Udon Quarry.
A moment later, the two landed In front of Brook.
"Captain, there are a lot of free Labor locked up there."
Brook pointed in the direction of the Quarry used to imprison Prisoners.
Nicholas looked in the direction Brook pointed, used Observation Haki, and Red Light appeared in his Eyes.
With normal vision, it is naturally impossible to see how many Prisoners are in these Places where Prisoners are held.
But Observation Haki can quickly obtain enough information.
Using the Ability effect of Observation Haki and the Ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Nicholas easily "saw" the many Prisoners squeezed into the Prison, and also "saw" several Prisoners who were being held in solitary confinement.
"Brook, go release them. If they are willing to stay and work, then let them register later, if they are not willing, then let them leave directly."
"Understood."
Brook naturally had no Opinion on Nicholas's decision and walked straight towards the Prison.
After a while.
A large number of Prisoners of various Statuses wearing Prison clothes walked out of the Prison and came to Nicholas.
"These Beasts Pirates Weapon...!!!"
When these Prisoners came to the Open Ground of the Quarry in the wind and rain, and saw at a glance the many Beasts Pirates who were lying on the Ground unable to move, many people's Faces showed expressions of resentment.
It can be said that every day they were captured and brought to the Quarry was a Hell-like Life for them.
When the Gate of the Prison was easily cut open, although they were mentally prepared, the shock in their hearts was naturally indescribable when they now personally saw the Beasts Pirates lying on the Ground without any Resistance.
"Yohohoho, the Gate is over there, People who don't want to stay and 'work' can leave now."
Brook, who had brought the Criminals to the Stone Quarry, repeated Nicholas's Words and raised the Cane in his hand, pointing to the Gate that was already open In front.
Hearing Brook's Words, the Prisoners looked at each other, and even some familiar Prisoners began to whisper to each other.
They are not fools. On both sides of the road leading to the Gate, there are many Beasts Pirates Members lying down, which invisibly gave the Prisoners a lot of Pressure.
And no one knows whether these Weapon are really kind enough to let them go, or are playing with them.
Just like a Cat always plays with a mouse until it is exhausted before killing it.
In fact, there is also the most important point, that is, these Weapon actually said that as long as they work, they can get Food and Wage, which is a Condition they cannot refuse. You must know that since Udon was occupied by the Beasts Pirates, these People and their Family have hardly ever had enough Food.
At this time, someone said that as long as they work, they will have Food to eat, and they are willing to take a gamble.
One minute passed.
Most of the Prisoners were watching, and only a small number of Prisoners were eager to move.
Time passed by second by second.
Soon.
A few more minutes passed.
Finally, that small group of Prisoners took a tentative step. When they found that no one was stopping them, their originally slow pace gradually quickened, and eventually it could be described as walking like flying.
It wasn't until they walked out of the Quarry Gate and ran hundreds of meters to an area they considered safe that they dared to stop and pant heavily on the Ground without any regard for their Appearance.
These People can be said to have been the privileged class of Udon, and now that they have the Opportunity to escape from that Devil's cave, they will not hesitate in the slightest.
The reason why they didn't Action before was entirely because they didn't know the details of Brook and others, so even if they had strong thoughts, they didn't dare to Action rashly.
Seeing that nothing Accident happened to those Prisoners who left earlier, the other Prisoners also began to become a little restless.
Brook squinted at the Prisoners standing in place whispering to each other, and did not take too many Actions.
In the end, after another group of People left, only two-thirds of the original People remained in the Quarry.
"It seems you all want to stay and help, then don't waste our Time, first return the Shackles that the Beasts Pirates put on you to them."
"..."
After a brief Silence, the Prisoners quickly moved and put the Shackles they had removed on the Beasts Pirates Members.
"I believe you will soon be glad you made this decision. Now let's start working. Complete today's work and you can take Food or Money to find your Family."
Brook said to the Prisoners waiting for Orders.
Far away.
Nicholas, who was visiting the Quarry, looked back at the Prisoners scattered around and busy.
For Nicholas, Udon can be said to be a very important strategic Place.
Moreover, after the Development of the Beasts Pirates, it can be said to be a one-stop shop from mining, Processing, and forging.
With the assistance of the Prisoner Labor, it didn't take too much Time, and all the Weapons in Udon were collected in one Place.
"Very good, those who are willing to continue working can continue to come tomorrow with Wooden Tag. Now go and collect your Reward for today."
The Prisoner Labor completed their Mission, and Brook also fulfilled his Promise, and let the People who came with White Dance pull carts of prepared Food into the Mine.
When each Laborer received their Reward, many People were in a daze, not because it was too little, but because it was too much.
At the same time, many People also clenched the Wooden Tag in their pockets.
In the Mine, a large number of Weapons and Sea Stone Shackles that have already been produced are piled up like a mountain.
Although they have not been counted in detail, the number is more than enough to arm an Army of a Kingdom.
In this World where the demand for Weapons is very high, these Weapons are an astonishing quantity.
And these Weapons can be exchanged for many scarce resources.
After all, as long as you have Weapons, what Things can't you snatch?
