Chapter 71 Kill, Leave No One Behind!
Not only did countless pirates gather on the Sabaody Archipelago, but a large number of bounty hunters and human traffickers also arrived.
The most dangerous among them were not the pirates or bounty hunters, but the human traffickers.
They were hunting for prey in illegal areas, and once someone became their target, it was almost impossible to escape their clutches.
Those who came here for the first time could easily be killed or robbed, then captured by traffickers.
On the Sabaody Archipelago, there were many human trafficking shops and slave auctions, offering a one-stop service for human traffickers—catching and selling people until their prey was drained of every last bit of value.
Powerful forces backed these slave auction houses, with even the Celestial Dragons involved in the shadows, which meant that even the Marines wouldn't touch them.
The Marines, in fact, referred to the human trafficking shops and slave auction houses as "job placement centers," a euphemism for places where they help people "find a job."
It's truly dark how the Marines operate.
They talk about protecting justice and eradicating darkness, yet the darkness is right under their noses, and they turn a blind eye.
This is all because the Marines' ultimate boss, the World Government, is the greatest darkness of all.
The Celestial Dragons are the darkest beings in this world!
