Chapter 635
Entering the Flower City, the imagined scene of every household closing their doors did not appear. All kinds of small shops were still open for business, and the sound of hawking was endless.
The crisis of national extinction was right in front of us. The areas outside the Flower City had become a purgatory on earth, but the capital of Wano Country seemed to be unaffected and continued to operate at its own pace.
The Sword team, who saw this scene, showed a blank look on their faces. They always felt that this weird atmosphere was a bit abnormal, but they couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.
"Such a big thing happened outside, don't the people in the Flower City know it?"
"The contestants will not let anyone go. The Celestial Dragons only care about the points they get."
Drake walked in front, listening to the whispered discussions of his former teammates. He knew that outsiders were puzzled, but this was not the place to explain, "Come back to my residence with me. I am the only one left at the contact point of the Beast Pirates. It's just a good place for us to stay."
The spies of the Wano Country General should have identified the people brought by Drake as members of the Beast Pirates. Since they are still allies on the surface, they will not fall out in the short term.
Bringing the navy back to the contact point of the Beast Pirates, most of the people in this station have now withdrawn, and there are still some local hired workers left, completing their work as usual.
They are responsible for cleaning the courtyard and doing things like cleaning, working a day to earn a day's salary. Some short-term workers are very enthusiastic about their work. After all, the Flower City will never lack women, and there will never be a shortage of beautiful women.
Everyone entered the room and sat on the tatami. After the waiter served tea and cakes, Drake told them that they could have a day off today, and their wages would be calculated based on a full day.
After these short-term workers took their salaries, they ran out of the yard happily one by one to find their relatives and their men. In short, they had to spend a lot of money, because there was no concept of saving money in the Flower City.
In Wano Country, ruled by Kurozumi Orochi, the average life expectancy is very short. Coupled with the cultural atmosphere of mono no aware, it is very difficult for children to live to adulthood, and it is a miracle among miracles to live to middle age.
Saving money will not make your life better. One day, you will die suddenly because of a trivial matter. It is hard for you to spend all your money before you die. It is better to enjoy the present life in time.
This contact point of the Beast Pirates belongs to the downtown area. The passenger flow around the flower street is very amazing. Doing intelligence work here will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
At present, there are no outsiders in this yard. The Sword team gradually let down their guard and began to move their bodies with a sense of relaxation. Their eyes turned around and observed the layout of the surrounding rooms.
Captain Drake's undercover career seems to be very moist. The decoration of his room is more luxurious than that of ordinary wealthy people, almost like that of princes and nobles.
In addition, he has a mentality of nouveau riche and doesn't like the culture of Wano Country. Drake prefers precious metals. Since he went undercover, he has never lacked funds and has never asked the Navy Headquarters for money.
Sometimes the contact person sent by the Navy will beg for money here. Who made Drake so rich and supported by the Beasts Pirates to live a life of superiority, while other colleagues still live a hard life.
"Tonight, a grand ghost celebration will be held in the Flower Capital. It is called the Hundred Demons Night Parade by the locals. It is a superstitious thing created by Kurozumi Orochi in recent years to make the people of Wano Country believe that one day they will be saved by ghosts and gods."
Speaking of this, Drake showed a contemptuous look. In the past two years, he has seen the so-called Hundred Demons Night Parade. From a distance, through the perception of the domineering sense of observation, all the monsters and ghosts that appeared in the white fog were disguised by humans.
A few or dozens of people put on props and costumes to become big demons, or people with congenital disabilities pretend to be little ghosts. A group of guys who engage in performance art fooled the people of the Flower City.
They really thought that demons and ghosts would come on the day of the celebration. In order to get their protection and for their relatives not to be harassed by demons, they all willingly handed over incense money to pray for a better life in the future.
Black Charcoal Snake pretended to be a ghost behind the scenes, and could harvest a huge amount of incense money from the local area at a time, and finally split the money with the Beasts Pirates 50-50. Both sides kept a tacit understanding and did not expose this trick.
In order to improve the quality of service, some members of the Beasts Pirates even had to be defeated by fake monsters during the celebration in exchange for the cheers of the people around them.
Provide a lot of emotional value, and don't hesitate when the gold coins explode. One after another, the people handed over the remaining money on their bodies to Black Charcoal Snake as if they were possessed.
Under the sustainable exhaustion of resources, the general's mansion of Kurozumi Orochi is getting richer and richer. This strange and effective way of collecting money is simply amazing.Kaido was amazed. It turned out that the people of Wano Country were really good at playing.
"A country that is closed to the outside world has made its people so ignorant. Such a land is really wasted in their hands."
Bakugo Shoto originally had sympathy for the people on the island. He knew that these untouchables were too superstitious. The evil cults and ghosts that were played out by the outside world were actually revived here. It can only be said that these people deserved to die.
However, Bellemer had a different opinion. "Every piece of land breeds different races. We can persuade them to be kind and Buddha. Ignorant humans will wake up sooner or later."
Just as the two were about to continue the debate, a lot of shouting and crying suddenly came from the outside world, interrupting the topic of everyone's conversation.
Since everyone was curious about what happened, Drake took his team to watch the excitement and learn about the customs and customs of Wano Country.
A group of ragged refugees, who had come to the Flower City from other areas, were frightened by the butcher knife of the Celestial Dragons. They had only one purpose to enter the capital alive, which was to spread fear to the public.
"All dead... all dead"
"There are no living people outside the capital. You will die in a few days. Everyone go to death, hahahaha, everyone go to death"
He cried and laughed while saying this. He was completely crazy. His family and relatives all fell under the butcher knife of the invaders. He was the only one who survived in the whole village. This heavy blow made the man unconscious.
"The gods and ghosts will not come to save us. You have all been deceived by the black charcoal snake. He is just a general who cheats money"
Some refugees pointed their spearheads at the celebration tonight. It would have been better if they didn't say it. Once they said it, they directly poked a hornet's nest. The two sides started a verbal battle on the spot. The particularly excited fanatics even beat the refugees directly.
The people of Flower City know what happened outside the capital, and how brutal the invaders are. They slaughtered people regardless of gender, age or status. They are weak and have no other options. Where can they go if they leave their homes? They live one day at a time before the butcher knife falls.
At the critical moment, the Beasts Pirates have already run away with the money. They can only hope that the illusory ghosts and gods will save the country and drive away the invaders who have landed on the island.
