Chapter 838 Slave Control
Ignis moved quickly.
Even so, it still took over ten minutes to completely search one Celestial Dragon's Mansion.
This was even when he abandoned some items that were troublesome to take away, or even those of low value.
Things that might cause a stir, such as gems embedded in the walls.
Any slight sound could attract the attention of others.
Ignis was very careful and would remain in a void state to search inside the Mansion, to see if there was any strength hidden in the shadows.
The great battle was ongoing, and the Celestial Dragons were actually still a bit panicked inside, which is why they made the decision to hold a banquet during the war.
Ordinary humans wouldn't do this, and would even closely monitor the situation of the war.
But these Celestial Dragons wouldn't.
However, they are Celestial Dragons, aren't they?
This isn't surprising.
World Noble own thousands of Mansion in Mary Geoise, and many Celestial Dragons have several villas.
Ignis also discovered some interesting things during this process.
Basically, Underground in all Mansion, there is a vast space for holding Slave.
The pathways were very bright, but inside the Cage, there were large dark Area.
All sorts of Slave, peculiar races, those with tall figures or their own unique characteristics.
Of course, there were also quite a few ordinary humans, especially Woman with good looks.
Regarding these, Ignis was not surprised, especially since there were also quite a few Fish-Man Tribe members among them.
The Pluto Pirates' rule over Fish-Man Island has lasted for nearly twenty years.
This is a relatively long time.
It doesn't mean that all Fish-Man Tribe members are willing to willingly submit to the Pluto Pirates' rule.
Secretly, there are also quite a few Fish-Men who have rebellious thoughts and are disrespectful towards the Pluto Pirates.
Especially as the Kronos Kingdom already has a large number of Fish-Man Tribe members within it.
And over these years, a complete order has been established.
In order not to let outsiders affect the order established by the Kronos Kingdom.
The Pluto Pirates have rarely accepted Fish-Man Tribe members.
Unless they possess a special ability, such as powerful battle/combat talent.
In comparison, for beautiful Mermaid girls, the threshold is very low.
This almost double-standard attitude makes some Fish-Men who want to go to the Kronos Kingdom feel dissatisfied.
In response, the Pluto Pirates also have their own moves.
Secretly, many Area of Fish-Man Island are within the surveillance range of the Kronos Kingdom.
Upon discovery, these Fish-Men will mysteriously disappear.
Every so often, some will disappear.
They are captured and taken away by slave ships.
Behind these Human Trafficker is naturally the Kronos Kingdom.
Although there is the Pluto Pirates' deterrence, this doesn't mean there aren't slave ships that target Fish-Man Island.
People are all driven by interests.
A small portion of Fish-Men disappearing is a very normal thing.
Compared to before the Pluto Pirates' rule over Fish-Man Island, it is naturally immeasurably better.
Especially the current Fish-Man Island, where all aspects are controlled by the Pluto Pirates, life has improved immeasurably, and many negative effects are covered up by the superficial glamour.
The Pluto Pirates have already done their best to drive away slave ships; if they are still captured like this, they can only blame their bad luck.
Moreover, due to the overly peaceful life, coupled with the Kronos Kingdom's significant reduction in immigration.
Originally, the population pressure was relieved quite a bit, but the total population of Fish-Man Island actually has a tendency to rebound.
It's common for one family to have seven or eight Child; some even have nearly twenty Child.
This number is very frightening.
This directly led to the restoration of Fish-Man Island's population.
Under these circumstances, coupled with Ryugu Palace not paying much attention to the Lower-class Resident.
Even if someone disappears, perhaps no one will care.
Due to the existence of the Pluto Pirates, the number of Fish-Man Tribe and Mermaid Tribe Slave has greatly decreased.
resulting in the increase in the price of Slave from these two races in the Black Market.
An ordinary Fish-Man Tribe Slave costs at least two million Beli.
As for Mermaid Slave, especially beautiful female Mermaids, they reach an astonishing sky-high price of two hundred million Beli.
This is still the starting auction price.
If it's in a large auction, the price doubling is not a problem.
Rarity makes something valuable.
Especially if they are targeted by Celestial Dragons who aren't short on money.
Of course, several hundred million Beli has completely exceeded a certain limit; very few people can afford it, just for Mermaids that can only be used for viewing and entertainment.
It can be said that it's completely not worth it.
However, on the Great Sea, female Mermaids are extremely rare.
It's impossible for even one to appear in several years.
Basically, they are all taken in by the Kronos Kingdom, or protected by members of the Pluto Pirates stationed on Fish-Man Island.
This has led to the annual increase in the price of female Mermaids.
Some Celestial Dragons, in order to obtain female Mermaids, have even used their strength to contact the Kronos Kingdom.
In response, Hades also did not refuse.
After all, the Kronos Kingdom's plastic surgery technology is very advanced.
Making Mermaids with ordinary appearances beautiful, or even changing male Mermaids into Woman.
For the Kronos Kingdom, these are not problems.
Currently, there are probably several thousand missing people from Fish-Man Island every year.
Compared to Fish-Man Island's continuously growing numbers, it's not worth mentioning at all.
Even through the continuous purge of Fish-Man Island, eliminating rebellious individuals, it can bring billions of Beli in interests to the Kronos Kingdom.
For the Kronos Kingdom, making people disappear without a sound is simply too easy.
Furthermore, there's also the World Government to take the blame.
Now, who doesn't know that the biggest Slave Trader is the World Government.
Everything can be pushed onto the World Government, and the Pluto Pirates, who control Fish-Man Island's public opinion, will also spread relevant information.
In short, Fish-Man Island, under the Kronos Kingdom's rule, cannot possibly turn things around.
The rule covers all aspects: economy, military, public opinion, and even diplomacy.
Even Fish-Man Island's own defensive strength has been continuously weakened over the years.
The so-called Fish-Man Guard is nothing but a facade.
The true Elites have all been sent to the Kronos Kingdom.
As well as subtle internal corruption.
Under these circumstances, Fish-Man Island fundamentally has no strength to resist the Pluto Pirates.
That future Jinbe the Knight of the Sea became a person of the Kronos Kingdom many years ago.
Having left Fish-Man Island, very few people are willing to return.
If they want to resist, unless they rely on external strength.
Pirate who want to fight their way from "Paradise" to the New World are not the opponents of the two Cadre guarding Fish-Man Island.
Great Pirate of the New World are even less likely to easily offend the Pluto Pirates.
Especially now, the Kronos Kingdom has exhibited terrifying strength.
It can be said that no one can shake the Kronos Kingdom's rule over Fish-Man Island.
Ignis inherited Hades' thought, and regarding these Fish-Men, he didn't really see them as people in his heart.
Most of them were originally sold to the World Government by Slave Traders secretly controlled by the Kronos Kingdom.
Even the Kronos Kingdom itself has adopted some methods to control the Fish-Man Tribe population.
Controlling the number of Fish-Man Tribe within the country to a certain range, using other methods to control desires, or even medicine treatment.
Using thought control.
