"Nani, brother???"

In the distance, Ace, who was quite sensitive to the word "brother", immediately stood up with his eyes wide open.

"What's going on, uncle, you... are you the younger brother of Shichibu Kaiten Yaksha?

You...hey?"

"Well……."

After listening to Ace's words, Gawain quickly stopped Ace. It was just a simple word. It didn't matter if he didn't use it. If he used it again, it would seem like something was weird.

After stopping Ace, Gawain clapped his hands gently and motioned for everyone to look at him.

Then, Gawain explained with a wry smile.

"As we all know, Doflamingo comes from the Don Quixote family.

Even the current patriarch of the Don Quixote family, my good friend Musgard, is Dover's blood uncle.

Among the major families of the Celestial Dragons, intermarriage is very common. Although my Gawain family is a single lineage, judging from the seniority...

Dover, maybe he really is my cousin..."

After the words fell, Gawain quickly turned his head to Dover, and then he quickly spoke to Dover, changing the topic at hand.

Just listen to what he said to Dover seriously.

"Doflamingo, I believe your promise for the time being. Before you violate the rules of my Blackbird, I reluctantly accept you as one of us.

But correspondingly, it is the contribution that you deserve.

Lucci!”

Gawain greeted him, and Lu Qi immediately took two steps forward, stood next to Gawain and bent down to listen.

Gawain continued.

"Send your people to accept the joker's power in the underground world. In the next period of time, your focus will be this!

In this section, regarding arms and devil fruit trading, we will change our sales thinking.

No new weapons or heavy weapons will be sold, and all famous swords and excellent guns and sticks will be kept for ourselves, which will be used to arm our forces in the future.

As for the deal between Dover and Kaido, haha...

Just cut it off!

Even if it can make us a lot of extra money, I have no intention of increasing the strength of the pirates!"

After finishing his words, Gawain glanced at Dover from afar, and Dover gently waved his hand indifferently.

At the same time, Lu Qi knelt down half-kneeling in front of Gawain, and said loudly that he obeyed.

After Lu Qi received the order, Gawain couldn't help but fall into thinking, because the most important business under Dover was not arms, but human trafficking!

While gently rubbing his forehead with his right hand, Gawain couldn't help but sigh.

According to the information he had obtained in the past about the forces under Dover, how big was the human trafficking run by Dover?

So big that every human trafficking base in the world is closely related to Dover!

Either Dover directly controls it, or it pays a fixed fee to Dover...

Just speaking in such a general way may sound a bit dry, so let’s talk about it with data.

In the world of One Piece, more than 140,000 lives are sold every day!

Note, it is not 140,000 per year, but 140,000 per day!

Among them, most of the slaves sold came from villages in various places that were displaced due to pirate activities and the crackdown by the world government.

Every moment, a considerable number of villages across the four seas are destroyed at the hands of one terrifying creature after another without the knowledge of the world.

For example, this example must mention One Piece.

In the original plot of One Piece, after Luffy released the prisoners in Impel Down, a large number of relatively more vicious pirates returned to the sea.

Among them, the strongest one is naturally Barrett who is imprisoned on the sixth floor of Impel Down City.

And what did Barrett do? After he came out, it didn’t take long for him to plan the Ralph Drew Eternal Pointer Project with his collaborators.

Once this plan emerged, the island where he implemented the plan immediately became another tragic place where residents needed to be displaced!

Most of the new generation of slaves on the sea appeared in this large-scale relocation event.

Because in a world like Pirates, where although the technological level is high-end, the people's livelihood level is extremely low, it is too easy for slave traders to interfere with large-scale population migration events!

In addition to Barrett's actions, Zefa's actions were also included. In the original plot, Zefa's attempt to use explosive rocks to destroy the world caused the Zig Island to turn into a dead place and allowed countless refugees to escape in a hurry!

Please note that not every refugee is eligible to appear at the auction after being captured by slave traders!

And when they were not released from prison, the destroyed islands were not that many at best.

When we watched the anime and saw the auction scene in Shampoo Land, we couldn't help but feel that there were only so many people being auctioned.

If a group of more than ten or twenty people come on stage, even if they take the turn for one night, there may not be twenty groups, right?

But in fact, the auction house in Shampoo is the most high-end auction house in the world!

Because this auction house is almost the only auction house in the world that regularly welcomes Tianlong customers!

The slaves who can appear in this auction house are all the best among slaves. If the goods are not good enough, the Tianlong people will really kill the auction house manager and his family.

In short, Mr. Lei Li can be regarded as quite capable...

Ahem, that's a long way to go, Rayleigh can't represent all slaves.

In addition to the official auction house in Shampoo, slaves are being sold all over the world at all times!

Gangsters need to buy slaves to work and act as thugs, rich people need to buy slaves to work as workers, and nobles need to buy slaves to maintain their luxurious life.

Even ordinary people who have made a fortune or saved a piece of land and a house will mostly buy one or two slaves to serve as housekeepers or assist in work.

In short, some darkness will never be clearly drawn in comics. All you need to know is that there is a word called up and down!

When rulers all over the world are vigorously advocating the culture of slavery, it makes sense that the slave market in the pirate world is more exaggerated than that in the United States.

Just like the old American movies we often see, perhaps in the countryside of a certain village, wandering slave traders will start selling work again and again.

This guy looks pretty good, five thousand beli.

That guy looks good, ten thousand beli.

There are even ones worth several hundred beli.

There are many such things. Population is one of the popular commodities in this world, and the world of pirates is so dark...

Thinking of this, Gawain let out a long breath, tapped the back of the chair with his finger, then shook his head and said.

"As for the issue of slave trading, I can't make a decision easily!

After all, the number of people involved is so large that it scares me!"

After the words fell, Gawain pursed his lips with a deep expression and rubbed his forehead again.

There was one thing he didn't say, and that was...

He cannot even make the decision to abolish the slave market now!

Even in the United States in the past, the famous Civil War was triggered by a piece of legislation over whether to hold slaves or not.

A country fought a vigorous civil war before finally deciding the final winner.

At this moment, Gawain, although he has gathered many strong men around him, his forces can barely resist for a while even if they face all the pirates and all the known navies.

But in the final analysis, Gawain's influence on the entire sea is too small!

What's more, all he can decide is the slave sales system created by Dover in the past few years. He is not the Five Old Stars, cannot represent the world government, and he cannot order people around the world to give up slave culture.

Even if the slave system under Dover was forcefully stopped by Gawain, it could not stop the world's desire to buy slaves.

If there is a demand, there will be a market. If Dover does not operate in this market, it will have to be torn apart and taken over by others bit by bit, and it will be done by itself!

In the past Pirates comics, Dover once said something that was regarded as outrageous by many viewers.

He said that if he was really arrested and imprisoned, the whole world would be in turmoil!

In the comics, no one really feels that the world is in turmoil, because the world of the comics revolves around Luffy and his group.

In Luffy's world, he couldn't see what happened in the world of Dover's arrest warrant.

The fact is that after Dover's arrest, the slave markets around the world will be reshuffled!

It was a large-scale operation involving global gangs, and it was an economic war that could plunge countless villages into trouble.

Many people wonder why the Golden Emperor, Dover, or the World Economic News are in charge.

Each of them does not have monster-level strength, and they tremble a few times when they see the Four Emperors.

But they just have an inexplicable self-confidence!

In fact, the status and identity of these three people are equivalent to the national bank, the national stock exchange and all news organizations in the country.

If all three industries went bankrupt and disappeared overnight.
