Outside Peace Island, the Golden Lion drank a belly full of water and was pulled out of the sea by Redfield.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, Golden Lion hesitated for a long time before asking uncertainly, "You are the stinky bat, Patrick Redfield."
Bang.
The golden lion's body flew out again.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
Within half an hour, the golden lion had been knocked out more than twenty times.
Just as Redfield was about to take action again, the Golden Lion quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, no, please talk nicely if you have something to say."
At this moment, all the strength of the Golden Lion was sealed by Finn's words. If his body was not still there, he would have been tortured to death by Redfield.
Redfield pulled up the drowned lion in front of him and stared at him for a long time. Then he asked in a bewitching voice, "Do you want to live?"
"I do." Golden Lion nodded seriously. Only by staying alive can he fulfill his dream of dominating the world.
"Do you want to regain your strength?"
"think."
"Do you want to get your legs back?"
"think."
The Golden Lion answered mechanically, his eyes lighting up. "Restore my legs? How do I restore them?"
Redfield smiled strangely, "As long as you come to this island to open up wasteland and work, that master will let you get everything you want if he is happy."
"That lord?" Thinking of Finn's terrifying power, the Golden Lion is still frightened.
Seeing that the Golden Lion was still hesitating, Redfield instantly unleashed the power of the Bat Fruit.
With a flap of his wings, he leaped into the deep sea holding the golden lion.
"Smelly bat, you want to die? If you touch the sea water, you can't get out."
Bang.
Water splashed everywhere.
The Golden Lion looked at Redfield swimming freely in the water in surprise, and his heart was shocked.
"This is the power of that adult."
Redfield smiled strangely.
"…"
Outside Finn's palace, a disabled old man with wet blond hair was lying on the ground, supporting himself with his hands with difficulty.
No one could believe that Pirate Admiral Golden Lion, the guy who was once as famous as Pirate King Roger, was in such a miserable state now.
"Red, are you serious?"
Redfield nodded.
"Don't worry, sir. To make up for the damage done to Peace Island, Golden Lion has agreed to work for us for ten years without pay. He is also willing to give you all his past treasures. Furthermore, after ten years, if he wants his freedom, he must pay you 90% of his annual profits. What do you think?"
I look? What do I look at?
I'm optimistic.
Finn tried hard to suppress his laughter. He never expected that there would be times when he was a local landlord exploiting others.
Not to mention the other party's treasure, Finn was also very happy to have worked as a laborer for ten years for nothing. After all, there are too few people now.
Red sometimes has to go out to help with purchasing, and Roger can't handle it alone.
But I am too lazy to do it now.
All in all, Peace Island is short of people now, very short of people, and it would be even better if they could be free laborers.
At this moment, Finn's eyes were full of kindness when he looked at the golden lion.
This is a coolie, but he has a little disability. I don't know if it can be cured.
"Red, can his legs be cured?"
When Golden Lion heard this, his heart was in his throat.
Redfield nodded and replied, "My lord, just tear off a piece of fish like you did to Whitebeard last time. That should be enough."
Whitebeard? That Whitebeard guy was here too?
The conversation between Redfield and Finn seemed to have endless magic, and the Golden Lion lying beside him seemed to have heard some huge secret.
"Okay, let's eat tonight. You and Roger will go catch two big fish. Robin needs to replenish his energy."
"Don't worry, sir. We'll do it right away."
After saying that, Finn and Redfield turned and left, leaving the wet golden lion standing there in a daze with his eyes wide open.
"Roger? He said Roger? Could it be that Stinky Bat, no, Big Brother Redfield, stole Roger's body and resurrected here?"
"Resurrection from the dead, is this also the power of this lord?"
The increasing amount of information made Golden Lion unable to react.
But all this will soon be revealed.
"…"
As the sky gradually darkened, a tall bonfire had been set up outside the yard, with large fish placed on top and exquisite fruits placed around it, making the golden lion, who had been hungry for a long time, eager to try it.
Just as he was about to eat a fruit, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Don't eat if you don't want to die."
"Roger, is it really you Roger?"
The Golden Lion looked at Roger in front of him with surprise, and wanted to stand up excitedly but was unable to do so.
Obviously Roger recognized the golden lion, but there was still no light in Roger's eyes.
He just kept repeating what he had said before, "Don't eat if you don't want to die."
With that, Roger put down the plate and turned away.
The golden lion became even more curious about the fruit in front of him. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body.
"The master hasn't moved, how dare you eat it?"
Pika's voice came from behind the golden lion.
He had seen this little bird in the hands of a little girl named Robin, but he had never expected that the bird could not only speak human language, but also had such terrifying power.
Pika walked slowly on the golden lion's body, and her sharp claws continued to penetrate into the bone marrow, as if whipping the golden lion's soul.
But the strange thing was that no matter how he struggled, he couldn't move, and couldn't even roar.
The tearing pain seemed to last a century.
Until Finn's footsteps came from behind.
"Pika, don't trample on our coolies."
Pika squeaked twice and ran happily to Robin.
Finn threw the fruit to Pika, tore off a few pieces of meat and handed them to Kuro, then sat down.
"Come, Red, feed the little lion some food and see if you can heal his leg. We must treat the coolies well."
Although he learned from Red that this guy was also a master, Finn felt that doing hard labor without legs would still delay his work.
"…"
The moon was high in the sky and the bonfire was dying down.
After eating, Robin slept peacefully in Finn's arms.
Roger was very diligent in cleaning up the battlefield after dinner.
As for the Golden Lion, he was brought to the Devil Fruit Tree by Redfield.
"What is this? A devil fruit, a devil fruit of the same type but a different color?"
"Yes, these are the miracles of the adults, and you will become a part of this place, but now you are still a coolie."
The Golden Lion suppressed the shock in his heart, and Redfield threw the Golden Lion next to the devil fruit tree.
A huge suction force fixed the golden lion firmly on the devil fruit tree, making it unable to move.
The Golden Lion didn't believe that Redfield would kill him, otherwise there would be no need to go to so much trouble.
"What are you doing?"
Redfield smiled strangely, "You should feel honored to be a part of my master's artwork."
But after a moment, the Golden Lion fainted again. When he woke up, the devil fruit tree had grown a little taller.
At this time, it is covered with float-fruits of various colors.
Redfield handed over the meat that Finn had given to the Golden Lion. "Eat it, and you'll have time to understand everything on this island, but now you have to start working."
