One Piece: The Soul Purchasing Pirate - Chapter 342
Chapter 342: Your Wish Is My Command
At a glance, on the wide square street in front of the base, dense crowds emerged, occupying a huge space. Roughly, there were more than 30,000 people.
With such a large number of people, they gave a feeling of scalp tingling.
Humans, from ancient times to the present, can be said to be a kind of magical creatures. When born, they are as fragile as some cubs, but as they grow up, they will gradually become powerful. They can tear up tigers and leopards, split rocks on the sea surface, and the strong ones can even destroy islands and possess the power to destroy the world.
They are fragile, but equally powerful.
Although Rogen and his group can be said to have powerful bodies and skills that ordinary people do not possess, in the final analysis, they are still humans, possessing all the characteristics of human beings.
In the face of a vast human torrent, no matter how powerful a person is, and it is inconspicuous that a single wave can submerge them.
People are complicated, not only do they have an affinity, or hatred, or bonds, cherish each other, and all kinds of emotions.
However, at this moment, Rogen and his gang saw the other side of human beings.
Which is called gratitude!
The torrent of more than 30,000 people has extended on the wide street. From a distance, it was impossible to see its end.
But this long torrent at this moment made a single and quite short move.
Countless people were crying loudly, with gratitude on their faces, facing the sky, no, talking loudly to those standing on the base platform.
Rogen and the rest, no matter who they were, were trembling in their hearts at this moment. They felt that the 123 million pores in their bodies shrank suddenly, and a wave of goosebumps filled their bodies. They were stunned and dumbfounded.
The endless people ahead went down, what does that mean? They can see clearly!
More than 30,000 people, filled with gratitude, knelt down on their knees, paying them the highest respect they could do!
It is unbelievable, and it is impossible to express the feelings of Rogen’s team at this moment in words only. But the only sure thing is that at this moment, everyone seems to feel the spiritual communication of these people.
The atmosphere became heavy inexplicably.
Perhaps, in an ordinary life, doing a good thing be rewarded by other people’s thanks, then joy and satisfaction will fill the place. The goodwill between people is always worth remembering.
Evil deeds do not remain in the world, only truth, righteousness, and beauty can make people transparent.
But when this gratitude, infinitely magnified, increased to 30,000 times, or even 50,000 times?
At this moment, Rogen and the others saw that the flood of the crowd was still increasing. The rescued people on the island were still coming here in an endless stream.
They saw people leaning on crutches with broken legs, and some with broken arms. At this moment, all people on this island came to this area, they all wanted to convey their gratitude to their benefactor!
At this moment, the atmosphere became quiet, solemn, and heavy.
The needle drop in the audience can be heard, only breathing lightly.
The silent streets and alleys were filled with thousands of people. They knelt on their knees, their heads pressed tightly against the ground.
These people are not expressing their surrender, but just gratitude!
Faced with such a scene, everyone in the Wraith Pirates group was stunned, and they seemed a little flustered.
They are the type of people who killed everyone thinking about hurting one of them, sailed through the Grand Line, and have experienced all danger, but when they faced this moment, they just panicked.
“What, what shall we do or say now?”
Jason was a little nervous.
Crocodile’s hideous face was constantly twitching, his fists were clenched, and his mood was equally uneasy.
Everyone looked at Rogen, waiting for the captain’s response.
“Aahhh!”
Taking a deep breath, Rogen’s eyes became serious.
There is no doubt that in the face of such a situation, no one can calm down. Even if it was him, his heart was beating fast. He is not a single-celled creature like Luffy, and he knows exactly what this situation means.
The people on an island knelt and thanked his crew, which means that their deeds affected these poor souls too much.
Even if what he did was a trivial matter, Rogen had a purpose in his heart, but when he really faced this, his heart felt so heavy.
“On behave of everyone on Ablis island, we would like to express our highest gratitude to our benefactors!”
In the quiet crowd, at the forefront, an old man with white hair, about sixty years old, knelt on his knees, raised his head, and said loudly.
Because of his old age and poor health, he still knelt on the hard bluestone ground. He was already in pain, but he insisted on it.
“No matter what you ask us for, as long as Ablis Island can provide it, please don’t hesitate on asking, we must thank you for your endless courage!”
“We will do anything to return your kind favor!”
This heavy voice shocked the eyes of the Wraith Pirates. But what surprised them, even more, was that none of the people objected to this old man’s words.
This means that all of them acquiesced!
“Captain!”
They looked at the figure in the front.
No matter what you ask, we will do it! This means that even if Rogen wants to be the king here, these people will agree without hesitation.
No one can understand the feelings of the people on the island of Ablis. Their souls were being crushed by the dictatorship and brutal oppressive rule of Anuki. Feeling loneliness, helplessness, and despair…
And it was a great benevolence to save this island!
“Get up, all of you.”
On the platform base, Rogen’s calm voice came out faintly, resounding in everyone’s hearts.
Just a moment ago, he heard in a trance the thoughts in the hearts of the people in front of him, the sound of stones, and the sound of trees…
However, these thousands of voices and huge data streams suddenly appeared, and they sunk deep in his mind, which made him feel a touch of warmth.
“How could I listen to everything around? No, maybe I’m…”
Rogen shook his head. He realized that he had unlocked another mysterious ability, which was difficult to express with words.
“My Lord, please make your request, otherwise, we won’t get up!”
The old man stubbornly replied.
After accepting the help of others, people with good intentions will not just leave as if nothing has happened. They must be grateful.
However, in the next second, Rogen’s voice shocked the hearts of tens of thousands of people in the audience.
It was a voice of warm and gentle light, which redeemed them, but let everything go by the wind.
“Get up, this is what I want!”
The audience was confused, and then fell silent.
