Thinking of the possible consequences, even Ian couldn't help fighting a cold war.

Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't temporarily think of changing the route, and I went to the island according to the original plan.

"Tell me about it!" Ian also sat down and said, "What's going on on this island, since you guys are on a mission and waiting for me on this island, how could you get involved in this island? Are you going to the battle? Also, what about Walnut and Yardi? They didn't come with you, or are they separated from you?"

Konanayi originally wanted to narrate, but at this time, Zeke and the others found this room, and Konanayi could only shut up temporarily.

"Captain, there are no other jobs in the village!" Zeke reported to Ian, then glanced at Konanayi curiously.

Ian also knew what they were thinking, so he introduced: "This is Konanayi, who is my companion. When I was in the Holy Land Mary Joa, it was with their help that I was able to learn about the Navy's movements."

When Zeke heard this, he immediately respected Kona Nayi. In fact, when he escaped with Ian, Zeke and the others discovered that Ian was in contact with someone on the phone. At that time, they guessed that Ian might have a companion. Yes, I didn't expect to meet them here. After all, Konanayi can be regarded as their benefactor.

Through the dialogue, Konanayi also knew that this was Ian's crew, so he nodded towards them as a greeting.

Everyone sat down around Konanayi and listened to her story. In fact, let alone Ian, everyone was confused about the situation on this island.

"Me, Hu Tao, and Yardi landed on this island a month ago!" Konanayi said: "It should be half a month after the Salamis incident. After arriving on this island, we originally lived in the city and waited for you, but then something happened, we rescued a man who was chased by pirates, and under his guidance, we came to this village."

"Saving people?" Ian asked suspiciously, "Does it have anything to do with today's incident?"

"Listen to me!" Konanayi said: "It's nothing to save people, but we learned later that this man turned out to be a miner who escaped from the mine."

With Konanayi's narration, Ian and the others gradually understood what was going on.

It turned out that this island in the New World is a small and famous country of gems. It produces some rubies and emeralds. Although the output is not large, it also makes the people on this island very rich.

The population of the island is not large, because it produces gems,

So basically miners are the main players. This small country was originally one of the countries that joined the World Government, but because it is in the middle of the New World, there is no navy stationed here.

However, what is unexpected is that about eight years ago, a big pirate suddenly came to this island. With the help of his pirate group, he launched a sneak attack and rushed into the palace, killing the king of this country. It's done!

Needless to say, what happened next, the big pirate took over the country and took the position of king himself.

Originally, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed by the world government. At that time, the world government considered it and wanted to send the navy to arrest this pirate, but what I didn’t expect was that the pirate king actually went to Mary Jo. Ya, when he came back, he actually became the king of this country. Although the world government did not make a statement, it did not send the navy again, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

This kind of reversal really made the citizens of this island somewhat incomprehensible. Although they knew that the Pirate King might have reached an agreement with the World Government, but because they didn't know the details, they couldn't do anything about it.

After all, the history of the country established on this island is too short. Unlike the thousand-year-old country like Alabasta, the royal family has been deeply ingrained in the minds of the people. For ordinary people, they don’t really care about who is the king. If you have force in your hand and you can't resist, then you can obey him, as long as you don't disturb the lives of the people.

However, who knew that soon after the Pirate King came to power, he announced that all the mines on the island were nationalized, and all the miners on the island must serve the country.

He dispatched manpower to arrest the adult men on the island wantonly, use them as miners, and then assign them to the mines to dig ore.

With the loss of personal freedom, the daily working hours of the people who are regarded as miners on the island have greatly increased. Not to mention the heavy physical labor, the reward in the end is pitiful compared to before, and even if the work is completed, These miners are also not allowed to return home, but are centralized and guarded.

In fact, it is no different from being a slave...

After a long time, the people stopped working, so they wanted to resist, but the pirate king actually bought a lot of pirate groups to serve him and used pirates to suppress these miners.

This situation lasted for a full eight years. All the people who were caught and mined were tortured so they didn't look like humanoids. During this period, some miners also fled to the sea and wanted to seek the help of the navy. However, some They were caught up and killed by the pirates. Occasionally, some of them actually escaped. Even if they found the navy, they were excused by the navy and ignored.

When the people on the island discovered this situation, they finally became desperate. They knew that the navy had no hope and could only rely on themselves, so in secret, the miners began to secretly unite, planning to launch an uprising to overthrow the sea. Thief King.

Konanayi and the others didn't know the situation, so they just chose to land on the island at such a time, and the man they rescued turned out to be one of the leaders who organized the miners to revolt!

And the reason why he was hunted down by the pirates was because there were traitors within the organization, and he was exposed!

He and dozens of miners found that something was wrong, so he killed the guard and ran out, but when he was passing through the city, he was caught up by the pirates hired by the king, and a fierce battle started in the city, and the rest of the people were He died, and he was also seriously injured. He was found by Konanay and they rescued him. Konanay escorted him back to the village of this secret stronghold, leaving Walnut and Yardi to wait in the city. Ian.

As a revolutionary army, Konanayi is sympathetic to the suffering of these miners, so she is willing to help them if she can.

It's just that the time she was in was really unfortunate. The man she rescued was in a coma for three days. It was during these three days that the pirate king was also ready and began to respond The miners who wanted to rebel against him launched a bloody crackdown.

Time, just last night!

Due to the betrayal of the accuser, the hiding places of the uprising miners were all exposed. The Pirate King hired a large number of different pirate groups as his thugs and began to attack these hiding places. These miners were originally just ordinary people with weapons in their hands. It was pitiful, how could it be the opponent of the pirates who had been fighting in the sea for a long time, so after resisting for a while, the miners' front line collapsed.

Originally came here, if the pirate king had any conscience, it would be enough to arrest people again, but since the pirate king had a wrong country, he has always been very vigilant, and such an uprising and rebellion occurred, let him Very annoyed, he ordered all the miners involved in the uprising to be killed.

As a result, the first tragedy in the history of the island occurred. The mad pirates faithfully carried out the orders of their employers and massacred the miners on the island.

Thousands of miners, indiscriminately, were listed as slaughter targets. Although the miners resisted hard, they were helpless but still couldn't beat the pirates with complete weapons and cannons. In the end, they had to fight and retreat. Escape at sea.

As a result, when they first went to sea, they encountered the pirates who were following, so on the sea, the two sides launched another fierce battle.

This time it was even worse. For the pirates, naval battles were a common occurrence. Although the miners gritted their teeth and fought hard because they had no way out, they also killed a lot of pirates, but in the end, they were still wiped out...

This is how things went. The village where Konanayi is located is one of the miners’ secret hiding places, and as a result, it also attracted the pursuit of pirates. Although Konanayi also helped the miners to resist these Pirates, but helplessly outnumbered, and finally caught off guard, was cut to the ground by a pirate from behind...

If Ian had been an hour or two later, Konanayi would have died of blood loss.

Listening to her story, Ian and the others remained silent.

Until the end, Ian frowned and asked: "Strange, just relying on some gems, can this pirate king buy the world government and let them indulge here?"

"Yeah, if the gems produced on this island really have such great benefits, wouldn't it not arouse the temptation of the Four Emperors?" Qi Ke also asked.

When Konanayi was talking just now, Ian interjected and asked a few words, and learned that the Pirate King here is actually a big pirate with a bounty of 340 million, but it seems to have nothing to do with the Four Emperor Pirates. Implicated, this island is not the jurisdiction of any of the four emperors.

This is what Ian finds the most strange. Ordinarily, a place that can produce gems will attract the four emperors' coveting, right? No pirate will have trouble living with money.

"I asked the miners here!" Konanay shook his head and said, "Actually, there are very few gemstone veins on this island. After so many years of mining, they are almost exhausted."

"Then why imprison these miners and let them mine?" Ian asked inexplicably.

"Because that Pirate King doesn't seem to want gemstone mines!" Konanay groped for a while, took out a small white crystal, and said, "He wants this, it seems!"
