As the sky darkened, the lights surrounding the huge stage began to light up with colorful lights.
The Redfield, who had received Finn's instructions, had already wrapped Charlotte Linlin like a big gift package and sat her on the lift.
Although Charlotte Linlin was extremely unwilling, she was powerless to resist.
In addition to the Redfield and the Golden Lion, the sunken stage is filled with members of the Big Mom Pirates. People who don't know would think this is their exclusive party.
Unfortunately, not only were these people not excited at all, but they didn't even dare to sit down and could only stand there quietly waiting for the owner of this place to appear.
After hearing Little Green's message, Finn slowly walked towards the stage.
Kuro and Ann were on his left and right. Besides Pika, there was also a small golden snake with four claws in the sky.
What's weird is that this little four-clawed snake is floating in the air just like Pika.
When Finn first saw the transformation of the little goldfish, he was also very surprised. It is a great joy for a carp to leap over the dragon gate.
As for the fear and doubt, Finn left them far behind.
In a different world, it's normal for some abnormal things to happen.
But this normal scene was like a storm in the eyes of the members of the BIG MOM Pirates.
Everyone still remembers the horror of that demon bird, but from now on, it seems that there are three more monsters of the same level as that demon bird.
What's even more terrifying is that the man who can tame these four monsters looks as powerless as an ordinary person.
Devil, yes, this man must be a real devil.
At this time, the BIG MOM Pirates have given up the last glimmer of hope.
Just leave it to fate and hope to die peacefully.
Of course, Finn had no idea about these people's wild thoughts. In his eyes, these people were all lovable coolies.
In order to adapt to the huge size and destructive power of this world, we must make full use of the many captives this time.
In a blink of an eye, Finn had arrived at the center of the stage. He waved to Little Green in the sky, and a big cake appeared in front of everyone.
Finn cleared his throat and looked around at the members of the BIG MOM Pirates with some excitement and nervousness.
"Hello everyone, I'm the owner of this island, Finn; you can call me Boss."
"We are able to gather here today thanks to a misunderstanding. Unfortunately, the person we misunderstood is still working hard on his creation, so it is not convenient for him to meet with you all right now."
"Well, today is your mother, Charlotte Linlin's, birthday. On behalf of Peace Island, I'd like to celebrate for her and wish us a happy cooperation."
As soon as Finn finished speaking, the field fell silent. Everyone had different thoughts in their minds and didn't know what to do.
"Applause." The Redfield roared excitedly, and everyone was startled and immediately responded.
The thunderous applause made Finn very satisfied: it seems that people in the other world are really friendly.
Finn waved and greeted the members of the BIG MOM Pirates, but everyone who was waved to by Finn was filled with fear.
The devil greeted me. Is this a sign? I won't die, will I? Ah, I haven't eaten enough. I haven't made the best cake yet. I haven't...
The members felt more and more aggrieved the more they thought about it. They tried hard to hold back their sobs, tears in their eyes.
Finn looked at those touched faces, and his heart, which had originally been determined to use them as coolies, trembled a little.
But in a moment, Finn became firm and tried hard to cheer himself up.
I can't be soft-hearted. They are captives. I have to have the dignity of a victor. At worst, I can just be nicer to them in the future.
Besides, we can't let the coolie that Red worked so hard to capture go to waste.
Finn's speech lasted for more than half an hour. The members of the BIG·MOM Pirates below could no longer hide their fear and burst into tears.
Ah, this demon is indeed marking us; he will surely torture us.
I just saw that devil actually smiled at me sinisterly. It's over, it's over. I may not survive this night. Mom, I love you. I may have to go. Woo woo woo ~
Countless cries of grief resonated in my heart.
Finn just felt that he had a great talent for public speaking. Look, they were all so moved.
Forget it; it seems I should exploit them less.
"Finally, I want to say that your mother and I have reached an agreement. From now on, you pirates will work as laborers for me and help me develop the island.
As for the specific personnel selection and subsequent arrangements, the shifts will be rotated every six months, and you will need someone from your pirate group to replace you."
"Okay, now, as a token of my friendship with the Big Mom Pirates, I wish your mother a happy birthday."
As soon as Finn finished speaking, there was a two-second pause in the venue before sparse applause began.
Everyone's eyes were filled with pleading: Stay on the island and work as a coolie? Mom, take me away. Mom, I don't want to be with the devil; there are too many devils here.
"…"
The full moon was high in the sky, and the farcical birthday party ended quickly.
In order to minimize the losses, Charlotte Linlin originally wanted to work with the Redfield to get all the key figures to go back first.
It's a pity that Redfield actually invited Pika to come and discuss the matter together.
How could Charlotte Linlin have the courage to refuse now?
Not only did Charlotte Linlin fail to achieve her own goal, but she even signed more humiliating treaties.
For example:
Every six months when the coolies are replaced, a fixed amount of different kinds of desserts are brought as tribute to the four little cuties.
Every six months when the coolies are replaced, a certain amount of treasure and devil fruit or a person with a devil fruit must be paid as tribute.
Charlotte Linlin gritted her teeth and agreed; her anger was about to explode at any time, but every time when she was about to explode, Pika would stretch at the right time and make a sound.
No matter how angry Charlotte Linlin was, it was extinguished.
It was almost dawn, and Charlotte Linlin was ready to leave this horrible house after signing the unequal treaty.
At this time, a big yellow cow slowly walked over.
"Lord Pika, I have something to ask you." Kaido said respectfully.
Pika slowly flew out of the house, looked at Huang Niu, and said, "The Kuro Boss has already told me about your situation. You can leave now, but the future contract will be the same as hers. Is that okay?"
Kaido was overjoyed and agreed without any hesitation.
"Thank you, Master Pika, thank you, Master Pika."
"No need to thank me. You've done well over the years. You can come back and visit me later."
After saying that, Pika flapped her wings, and colorful light engulfed Kaido. In an instant, a huge figure gradually condensed.
Kaido is back.
"…"
More than fifty people gathered at the port of Peace Island. Each of them was a survivor, but unfortunately they knew that they might have to come here again in half a year.
On the pirate ship, everyone stood listlessly on the deck; even Charlotte Linlin was the same.
Suddenly a burst of joyful laughter came from the bed cabin.
"Hahahaha, done! This kind of beautiful music can only be inspired by surviving a disaster. Boss, here I come."
Roelco walked out of the cabin excitedly and was shocked to see that the ship was full of people from the BIG MOM Pirates.
What? They're still here.
Roelco was already ready to fight, but unfortunately, the members of the Big Mom Pirates didn't react at all.
Charlotte Linlin looked at the person in front of her, who was the fuse that put her pirate group into this situation, and her heart was filled with anger.
Kaido clearly sensed Charlotte Linlin's mood and pressed her shoulder with one hand.
He knew that the boss valued Roelco very much and that his status in Peace Island was higher than that of the Golden Lion and his previous identity as a scalper.
If Charlotte Linlin killed him here today, needless to say, she and the others would definitely not be able to get the boat out.
Having lived on Peace Island for so many years, Kaido has long been aware of his boss's situation.
Your boss won't care if you make small moves or act on your own.
Just like the Redfield, every devil fruit owner who comes to the island will be fed to the devil fruit tree by the Redfield.
The boss must know these things, but he never asks.
But there are some things that the boss attaches great importance to. One is the construction of the island, and the other is that no one can harm the employees on the island, whether they are employees like the Redfield or coolies like the Golden Lion.
Kaido still vividly remembers the scene after Little Green was attacked by the unconscious Rocks.
The boss controls the most brutal power in the world like a god, and countless terrifying beasts appear around him.
At that moment, Kaido's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the monster boss Kuro on Peace Island.
He saw respect in the black dog's eyes. It was conceivable that among the many powerful monsters in Finn's group, the black dog was not one of the top ones.
It was also that time that made Kaido, once known as the strongest monster, give up his revenge on Peace Island.
Death is not scary, but dying inexplicably with no chance of victory is meaningless.
In order to prevent this from happening and protect Roelco, he would never hesitate to go to war with Charlotte Linlin now.
"Let me go, Kaido. I know what's important." Charlotte Linlin said calmly after being silent for a while.
He looked at Roelco and continued, "Roelco, Boss Finn is waiting for you to come back. You can leave now."
"Can?"
"Yes, you can go now."
Roelco breathed a sigh of relief, quickly jumped off the pirate ship, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
Charlotte Linlin looked at Peace Island and said calmly, "Take off your shoes, clean up the sand on Peace Island, and stay there. We're not taking anything with us."
The members of the Big Mom Pirates were stunned at first, and the next moment, everyone started cleaning the sand off their shoes with their hands and mouths.
No, absolutely not, not even a grain of sand.
We can't give the other party any reason to entertain them anymore.
