One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 2: Brothers and sisters respect each other

Young children are more susceptible to environmental influences than adults.

—Child Psychology

The Kingdom of Tottoland, founded by the Queen, lasted only eleven years.

But Totland was incredibly wealthy.

Their secret to wealth is rampant plunder.

As pirates who do not engage in production, indulging in a life of luxury and extravagance is the norm, requiring a large amount of money to maintain.

It must be said that after several raids, the Charlotte family has amassed astonishing wealth. Even children can freely carry valuables around, and the expenses of the Queen's tea parties are immeasurable. In addition, the Charlotte family has recently recruited more people, and its financial expenditures are constantly rising. However, the family does not seem to be affected by the financial deficit at all.

Garrett, who doesn't care about money, silently made a mental calculation, and the more she calculated, the more alarmed she became.

To maintain the Charlotte family's extravagance, the Queen's voyages would need to earn at least several billion Berries. However, the actual profits from these voyages far exceed that amount, given the presence of valuable items yet to be realized.

In addition, the Queen's protected territories must also contribute a considerable amount of cash and a large quantity of sweets each year, so Charlotte's family income...

So even without Roger, the trend of wanting to be a pirate has always existed. As long as you sail once and plunder a small island, you can almost earn enough money to last a lifetime, or even several lifetimes. At the same time, you are not subject to the law and can live freely. If you want to retire, you can go to a non-member country. The Navy generally does not easily set foot in the territory of non-member countries.

It's incredibly profitable!

Even if it means stepping over countless corpses, smelling the blood-stained sea breeze, bidding farewell to comrades who died in accidents, and enduring the pursuit of the navy, what does it matter in the face of endless profits?

Pirates are a bunch of guys who risk their lives, and living for the moment is perfectly normal for them. In today's cruel world, inhuman monsters are everywhere.

For example, her pirate family is a bunch of monsters and demons.

Her mother was exceptionally fertile; she had given birth to 34 children before becoming queen, and she herself was born in the fourth year of the nation's founding, becoming the 42nd child of the Charlotte family.

To have the double blessing of One Piece and Qidian (a popular Chinese web novel platform), having a mother and a bunch of brothers and sisters, is almost harder than winning the lottery.

But after considering her family's personalities, Garrett thought that being an orphan wasn't such a bad thing.

Right now, right in front of you, Simujie (the 35th child) is petting a well-behaved rabbit. Do you think she likes pets?

No, absolutely wrong. If nothing unexpected happens, the little life in her arms will soon say goodbye to the world, and in an extremely painful way.

Sure enough, the next second, the rabbit in her hand let out a pitiful scream.

Rabbits are creatures that can tolerate a lot of pain. Because they are small and weak, they are good at hiding their voices to reduce the chances of being discovered.

Even if all four limbs are broken, they will only whimper quietly, because this is the survival rule engraved in their DNA.

But this resilient rabbit let out a pitiful scream in the hands of an 11-year-old girl.

Even more terrifying is that it died with its body completely disfigured.

Its red eyes sunken deep, and its body continued to wither and decay.

All the bodily fluids dripped out, flowing perfectly into the crystal glass, where they possessed a cruel beauty under the sunlight reflected from the window.

Then, with an expression of ecstasy, Simujie drank the crystal-clear liquid in the glass in one gulp, her pink tongue making intimate contact with her purplish-red lips.

The dried-out animal carcass in his hand then aroused Smoothie's disgust, so he threw it away and trampled it into pieces.

I feel like throwing up, you're a real pervert!!!

"Galette, what's with that look? Want to fight?" Smoothie asked with a provocative expression.

This isn't the first time this has happened.

The reason for this conflict is that both of them are representatives of the talent-based school.

In a small group, without adult intervention, the young animals will determine who is the leader among the children in their own way.

Children born before the founding of the nation experienced the madness of Rocks, the rocking of ship tracks, and the horrors of storms; they had more opportunities to learn and hone their skills.

However, the younger siblings born on the relatively stable Whole Cake Island did not have as many opportunities, and their innate talents became the best scale for dividing their social classes.

“Sister, you’re being too noisy.” Galette would only respond with a cold expression.

Is it because she ate the squeezed fruit that she can't wait? Galette wondered to herself.

"Sisters, don't be so angry. I'll give you my favorite dolls." Bova took out her dolls without saying a word.

Thank you so much. Looking at the rag doll in Pova's hand, with its distorted features and deliberately severed limbs, Garette felt even more irritated.

Then, another loud crashing sound came from the corner of the room.

Barbaluya and Snag started punching each other, and blood was drawn.

But the other children did not stop it. Merry, in particular, clapped at the bloody duel and then burst into laughter.

In the atmosphere of a pirate family, children learn the rules faster than adults; you need to be strong and powerful to avoid being bullied.

Oh my god! I'm going crazy.

"Quiet down, everyone."

Garette walked right over and slapped Melize across the face, then grabbed Snag and slammed his head against the wall, before kicking Barbaluya away.

After doing all this, Garette drew her sword.

Piercing straight through the wind.

Garette swung her sword with a flourish.

In an instant, several large holes appeared in the smooth, white walls of the room, and the deafening sound finally startled all the children in the room.

"Whoever causes chaos, I'll cut you to pieces with my sword. And Sister Simuji, if you can't control your mouth, I'll cut off your tongue."

An astonishing aura.

Simujie, who had just been provoking her, had no choice but to fall silent, because Galette seemed to be serious. This crazy aura reminded her of her mother and made her a little scared.

After being slapped, Merry silently lowered her head, not daring to look at Garrett even once.

"I'm sorry, sister, we'll be quiet."

Barbaluya and Snag, who had just been beaten, were not angry at all; instead, they behaved as obediently as kittens.

The effect of physical deterrence is immediate.

"Alright, teacher, you can continue the lesson now."

As children, they need to learn, and of course, this process is often quite difficult; the situation we see today happens almost every time.

"Yes, yes, yes." The teacher, who had never had any authority among the children, immediately nodded hurriedly and began the lesson.

Seeing the scene finally quiet down, Garette breathed a sigh of relief. If this continued, she would become a pervert too.
