Chapter 79 Commoners have no freedom, Lord Bazel.
June of 1493 in the Haiyuan calendar.
The New World, the Kingdom of Dressrosa
This land, with its centuries-old history, was once the home of the Don Quixote family.
Eight hundred years ago, with the establishment of the World Government, the Don Quixote family moved to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
To become a celestial being, sitting high in the clouds, looking down upon all living beings.
The relatives of the victors in that great war claimed to be descendants of gods and began a life of pleasure that lasted for eight hundred years.
The current king of the Kingdom of Dressrosa is Riku Dold III, a descendant of the Riku family.
A benevolent king who firmly believed in "benevolent governance".
Lovers' Avenue
"Why is it so lively today?"
Hanafza, standing in the crowd, used her height to gaze into the distance.
"Sigh... there are even more people over there. Did something happen?"
"Don't you know? Ah, they are travelers from outside. That's not surprising."
Beside a two-story low house near the street, a short, stocky man with a thick beard struck up a conversation with him quite familiarly.
"I'm Mond, a resident here. A few days ago, a very horrific murder occurred in our area!"
Murder case?
After confirming that the alleged murder was indeed a murder, Hanafza's expression became inscrutable.
Doesn't that kind of thing happen to the ocean every day?
No one knows if they will see the sun rise tomorrow.
After all, being a pirate is a high-risk profession that puts your head on the line. "I heard that a boy named Cyrus killed someone. He was only 15 years old! My God, killing someone at 15 is really brutal!"
"That kind of person will definitely become the most despicable and ruthless pirate in the future!"
Hanafza patted the overly familiar man on the shoulder and pointed to himself.
"Excuse me, but I am the most despicable and ruthless pirate you mentioned."
Mond was stunned.
"Oh, by the way, have you ever heard of the Beasts Pirates?"
"Of course I've heard of them! They're said to be an incredibly terrifying pirate crew; their vice-captain once massacred an entire island!"
"I heard the corpses are piled higher than King's Heights! He's a true murderer!!"
Upon hearing this, Hanafza burst into laughter.
"Yalalalala NA~"
"Bazel, your fame has spread to the New World!"
"If it were piled higher than the kingdom's palace, tens of thousands—no, hundreds of thousands—would be needed?!"
"Don't take hearsay seriously."
Ba-Zel?
Mond turned his head sharply and saw the face of the man who was hidden behind Hanafza's tall body.
His throat tightened, and his thighs trembled.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said bad things about you!!"
The man was about to kneel down and kowtow as soon as he finished speaking.
But a boot blocked his weak knee.
Bazel grabbed the man by the back of his collar and helped him stand up straight again.
"Why should you apologize? It's your mouth, you're free to say whatever you want."
free·.
Mond straightened up, but his muscles still trembled uncontrollably.
He kept his head down, not daring to look at Bazel.
"Commoners have no freedom, Lord Bazel."
"Whether it's about speech or life, we ordinary people with no power have no right to talk about freedom."
"If we hadn't lived in the Kingdom of Dressrosa, and if King Riku hadn't been a benevolent ruler, we would have been oppressed like ordinary people elsewhere."
"This kingdom is an ideal country for the common people and the weak."
Bazel had no desire to argue; he simply patted the man on the shoulder.
"That's why I said, your mouth is on your body. You see, haven't you gained the freedom to speak with me?"
"At least I'm not angry because you called me a serial killer before, nor am I mocking you for what you just said."
The Beasts Pirates members around him all wore thoughtful expressions.
"Lord Bazel, I beg you—"
"Stop."
As he walked past the bearded man, Bazel's whisper reached the man's ears.
"You're not suited to join us because all you do is complain and blame others."
There are no ordinary people, only people who choose to be ordinary.
"If I were you, even if I couldn't be strong enough to change the world, I would still try to become as strong as possible and become extraordinary."
"Instead of living in a so-called utopia for ordinary people."
"But for you, staying alive is probably the most important thing."
"But for me—"
The Beasts Pirates followed Bazel away without a word.
"Whether life is fulfilling or not is the most important factor."
"If, when the 'lamp oil' has burned out, I cannot find a memory strong enough to illuminate my soul, then my soul will surely weep."
A wonderful life—
Mondl's eyes were conflicted, but he kept looking until the Beasts disappeared into the crowd.
He also lost the courage to reach out and stop him.
He could only walk back to his residence dejectedly.
Meanwhile, in the Beasts party, Hanafza tugged at Bazel's clothes.
"If that guy had stopped us just now, you would have let him join us, right?"
Even if he is a person without any power.
Bazel nodded with a smile:
"Indeed, courage is the hymn of humanity."
"If he doesn't even have the courage to try a second time, then there's only one outcome for him when he goes out to sea: he'll be killed and fed to the fish."
"Rather than die an unexplained death, I'd rather stay here and live out my life in a daze."
Beast Pirate - Great Wisdom A: "As expected of Boss Bazel, his words sound simple, but they are very profound."
Beast Pirate - The Great Brain B: "That's right, that's right, this is the style that the Brain of the Beasts should have!"
Olga, the Beast Pirate, attempts to impersonate the brilliant C:
"If I had eight heads, I'd definitely be able to think of the deepest, most profound things!"
Amatsuki Toki: "It's not just very deep, it's very profound, Olga. Haven't you studied anything in the last two hundred years?"
Olga blinked, then guiltily looked away:
"Of course I've learned it!"
Tianyue Shi: (v staring~)
"Alright, alright, I didn't study it! I'm a pirate, why would a pirate need to study those things!"
When faced with Olga's unreasonable yet assertive attitude, Amatsuki Toki put on a smiling face.
"Then I'll ask you a question related to pirates."
Olga raised her head, giving off a "bring it on" look.
"What is the most important thing for a pirate who wants to travel from the four seas to the Grand Line?"
Olga was stunned. The most important thing?
Could it be a record pointer?
"Record pointer?"
Amatsuki Toki maintained the same expression as before: "Are you sure about the answer?"
"No, no, no, wait for Sister Shi!"
Olga was somewhat flustered, her eyes darting around, trying to find a signal from someone with great intelligence to give her the correct answer.
But all they got were strange looks and curious stares.
Bazel shook his head, and was about to speak when he was glared at by Tenzuki.
"You are not allowed to speak. This is Olga's trial!"
"Trials and all that? Fine, whatever makes you happy."
Ignoring his Beasts Pirates crewmates who were making a ruckus, Bazel pulled Hanafzai along and squeezed into the crowd at the front.
"Why did you drag me here? I want to hear the correct answer."
Bazel turned his head to the side, his eyes gleaming with amusement: "You don't actually know what the correct answer is, do you?"
"Yeah, I didn't know!"
Hanafza showed no shame for his ignorance; instead, he proudly retorted to Bazell.
"I'm not the brain of a hundred beasts, why would I need to know that kind of thing?"
"The correct answer is the pirate flag." Bazel was helpless against Hanafza's shamelessness.
"A pirate flag?" Hanafza pushed aside the civilians blocking his way and asked curiously, "Why that?"
"Because the pirate flag represents the free spirit of pirates; without a soul, how can we control this body?"
"The reason why the game Davy Back Fight allows the theft of pirate flags is to fundamentally destroy a real pirate world."
"Of course."
Bazel pushed his way through the crowd and walked toward the boy holding a blunt weapon directly in front of him.
"This riddle is only suitable for true pirates like us. Those trash who use the guise of freedom to deceive and cheat are not worthy of having such a noble soul."
Under the strange gazes of the soldiers, Bazel reached out and grasped the weapon covered in barbed nails.
"Young man, you can't kill anyone with something like this."
"To kill someone, you must have the conviction to kill them; hesitation will prevent you from killing your enemy."
"you-
Finding that he could not remove his weapon, the still-young Cyrus somersaulted several times to the side to get away from the stranger.
He looked at Bazel with a wary expression.
"Who are you!?"
"Me? Just a mortal who dreams of becoming a Hero."
