In order to better conceal their ulterior motives.
Ace was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. Even without the Great Pirate Era, were pirates everywhere in the past?
No one had ever told him these things!
He heard this from the people around him as he lived in this era.
Everyone always hates Roger, complaining about the darkness he brought to the era.
This is the first time someone has said that the past was also chaotic.
They don't care about the so-called Great Pirate Era at all!
"Aren't you a Marine? Don't you hate the Pirate King Roger? Everyone says it's because of him that pirates have been running rampant in this era!"
Upon hearing this, Renn stopped in his tracks.
Robin glanced at Ryan curiously.
This action indicates that Renson is quite concerned about the matter at hand.
But aren't they just two little kids? A quick, perfunctory response should suffice.
Even if I explained such a complex issue to them, they might not understand it.
"Sit down." Renn sat down on the roadside and patted the haystack next to him.
“Ace…” Sabo tried to pull Ace away.
He himself wasn't afraid, but he felt that the Navy was too dangerous for Ace!
But Ace just sat down casually!
Because this was the first time he had received a different answer from someone else.
"Have you truly seen this world, this state of affairs?" Renn asked calmly.
"I...have never left this place."
"Then all your answers and understanding are not your own, but rather given to you by the people around you and the environment around you. You are not the real you, so you don't know the meaning of your existence..."
"How did you know?!" Ace stared at the man in shock!
The deepest and most perplexing confusion in my heart.
It was spotted right away?!
Do you think pirates are brutal?
"Ruthless! I've seen one pirate crew with my own eyes!" Ace nodded.
"Do you think nobles and the navy are brutal?"
"This...aren't the lives of nobles quite good? Aren't the navy also on the side of justice?" Ace asked, somewhat uncertainly.
He hasn't experienced or seen that many things.
The indeterminate destination has not yet been ignited.
He didn't have a concrete idea of what it meant to be a nobleman!
“You see, you’re not sure. You’re just judging others as good or bad based on their superficial identities. That’s shallow, and shallowness will prevent you from finding the right direction. Let’s just treat this as an after-dinner walk. I’ll take you to see this country, and then you can see the world again. Come on over,” Renn said to Sabo.
“Me?” Sabo was taken aback.
"Aren't we going back first?" Robin asked.
"Go back and wait for me. While you're at it, get the expense report done. Even though Garp treated us, the higher-ups don't know..."
"Okay!" Robin got excited when he heard this.
She loves reimbursing public funds the most! It's the part of all government affairs that interests her the most!
……
"Where are we going, Ace? You think he won't...?" Sabo was a little worried as they walked through the forest.
He leaned close to Ace and whispered something in his ear.
"Probably not." Ace thought it was unlikely.
After all, he doesn't look like a bad person.
Ace always trusted his intuition.
"An indeterminate destination?" Soon the group arrived at a place that Sabos was familiar with.
Looking at that high wall that separates the garbage dump from the kingdom!
With one hand on each of them, Ryan lifted one person into the air, instantly soaring into the sky and leaping over the tall wall!
"Ahhh!! Let me go..." Sabo Estun was immediately startled.
"If you struggle and fall, you'll die."
Hearing what Ryan said, the two immediately became obedient.
Raine floated in the air and arrived at the noble district of the country.
It wasn't very late yet, and many noble homes were still lit up.
“Look at them…”
(Please subscribe to the full version!!)
83. Ace Sabo's ideological transformation! Are all Marines as outstanding as you? (Please subscribe to the full list!)
People from two different worlds followed the hints in Ryan's words.
They all looked toward that noble family.
[Whitebeard #2: What does Rein mean by this? It seems like he just randomly picked a noble! But his words did capture Ace's feelings at the time very well.]
[Aokiji #1: Isn't that obvious? He's our Navy's Grand Inspector and Political Commissar. He might not be the best at fighting, but ensuring the mental health of the Navy's officers is his forte!]
[Rocks #1 & #2: I thought he came with a purpose this time, but it seems he just happened to be in the mood. What's so special about the nobles of this country? Are they there to educate two little monsters who've already stepped one foot into the pirate world?]
[Dragon #2: If they were ordinary nobles, perhaps there would be nothing special about it, just a glamorous life. But the nobles of the Goa Kingdom are indeed different from ordinary nobles; they... are much more twisted!]
[Kaido #2: Even you say that, so there must be something different about us!]
……
Before anyone could investigate further, Video 1 provided the answer.
From Rennes' perspective, this was a glamorous, wealthy, and happy aristocratic family!
That was indeed the case at first; the family of three lived happily together.
The parents are by their child's side, teaching him various subjects.
There is learning in musical instruments, and there is learning in general knowledge.
At first, the parents looked satisfied, with smiles on their faces!
But after making a few mistakes, their expressions instantly turn incredibly cold!
Or they might even get a beating in return.
"If you don't study hard, how will our Viscount Cortés family ever get close to the Marquis's daughter? Do you know how many suitors she has?"
"You are our hope for moving forward, how could you perform so poorly! You're already complaining about being tired after only a little bit of studying, and now you're making frequent mistakes..."
The noble father pulled out his whip and beat the boy, who was about the same size as Sabo, until he was covered in blood!
It wasn't until the butler came and said that someone had visited late at night.
Their parents had just come downstairs.
“Let’s send him to the Baron Nock family tomorrow. We’ve wasted too much time on this biological son. It’s time to consider adopting a better one.”
"Couldn't we find a viscount family like ours? What benefits would we get if we gave it to a baron?"
"Baron Nock has recently acquired an excellent line of connections for the trade of children. If we want an excellent adopted son, we can go through his connections!"
"I see, Master is so thoughtful! I was too naive." The noblewoman smiled with satisfaction.
That smile sent chills down the spines of many powerful pirates in both worlds!
This brief scene revealed to them an extremely distorted power struggle.
In order to climb the social ladder, even one's own bloodline can be easily given away to others.
It also involved the buying and selling of child slaves.
From their conversation, it was clear that they were used to this kind of thing.
They didn't think there was anything wrong with it!
This distorted understanding of power is nothing short of insane.
It immediately gave many people a chilling sense of decay!
They are not pursuing power; they are just a group of puppets corrupted by power!
Sabo watched, and got used to it, since his life was pretty much the same.
