Chapter 66: Shocked Tara, the hell behind the beauty
However, in front of people who cannot use Haki, users of natural Devil Fruit abilities are indeed invincible.
Now Lu Kai has been able to scan out Olin's basic information. Olin's level is 49 and his attribute value is 9220.
Xinna had a special understanding of the navy. She once said that Olin's strength had reached the level of a newly promoted lieutenant general and he could do whatever he wanted in the West Sea.
In addition, he is particularly good at Armament Haki, so he will have no problem dealing with a user with the ability of Smoke Fruit.
However, at present, no one knows the true strength of the user of the Smoke Fruit, let alone whether there are other masters or other users with powerful fruit abilities.
So even though he was disdainful in his heart, he did not really underestimate his opponent. After all, he could despise his opponent strategically, but he must take him seriously tactically.
"Leave this palace to me." After listening to Tara's story, Lu Kai volunteered.
Although Olin has a high probability of dealing with the user of the Smoke Fruit, given the many uncertainties, it would be safer for Luke, the user of the Dark-Dark Fruit, to go.
Olin and Fuya had no objection to this, because according to the plan made by Fuya, Gaocheng was originally going to be handed over to Lu Kai.
After all, the protagonist of this revenge is Lu Kai, and they are just here to help, so they will definitely not take the spotlight.
Lu Kai had been holding his breath for so many years, and he really needed to let it out completely.
"Brother Lu Kai, what did you say?" Tara said in disbelief, as if she had misheard.
"My brother said that there will be no problem if we leave it to him. What's there to be surprised about?" Fu Ya glanced at Tara unhappily, seeming very unhappy that he did not trust Lu Kai.
Fu Ya is a super protective brother. No matter who it is, they cannot say a bad word about Lu Kai, not even questioning him, otherwise she will be very angry. If Fu Ya is very angry, the consequences will be very serious.
"Uh..." Tara didn't know what to say after being rebuked by Fuya, but the worry in her heart did not decrease at all.
"Don't worry, my brother is invincible. He is in charge of not only the imperial guards but also the guards." Olin added.
Tara felt confused at the moment. What was wrong with this world? How could such a difficult thing come out of your mouths, but it was like a joke? Are you serious?
"We are serious." Lu Kai's observation Haki sensed Tara's doubtful emotional fluctuations and answered directly.
"You..." Tara was stunned and stammered, unable to speak.
"Yes, I can hear it." Lu Kai said again.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute..." Tara was completely out of control at this moment. She wiped her face with her hands, and then her eyes widened, staring at Lu Kai like a monster.
Lu Kai just smiled mysteriously and said nothing else. This act of pretending to be cool was perfect.
The fact that he was able to communicate with Tara's thoughts was naturally due to his Observation Haki, but in fact, his Observation Haki was far from the level of Princess Otohime who could hear other people's thoughts.
However, when the other party's emotions were too strong, Lu Kai could still feel it clearly, so this strange conversation took place due to his feelings and guesses.
"So..." Tara tried to say something else tentatively.
"So you can leave Gaocheng and the palace to me without any worries." Seeing Tara's expression as if she had seen a ghost, Lu Kai spoke again.
"Okay..." Tara slumped in the chair like a deflated ball, her eyes becoming a little dazed because of her doubts about life.
"Hahaha..." Lu Kai couldn't help laughing suddenly when he saw Tara's appearance.
This was not the first time he had seen Tara being humiliated in front of him, but for some reason, this scene was still so satisfying.
"Okay, Brother Tara, I won't tease you anymore." Luke explained after he finished laughing, "But I have a way to deal with devil fruit abilities, there is no doubt about that."
Tara's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he immediately believed Lu Kai, because Lu Kai would never deceive him about such a thing.
Tara did not dwell on this matter and continued to talk about the situation in the Kingdom of Lafia.
Although the lower city of the Kingdom of Lafia is not as luxurious as the higher city, it is also very well planned, with clean and tidy streets and rows of houses neatly arranged.
There are bustling commercial areas, suitable residential areas, beautiful schools, and well-equipped hospitals.
But most of the people here are not happy, because there are two prerequisites for them to stay in the lower city.
First, everyone must absolutely obey the nobles. No matter what excessive demands the nobles make, the people of the low city must obey unconditionally.
Second, high taxes had to be paid to the nobles every year. If either of the two requirements was not met, the person would be immediately convicted and expelled from the city.
It is said that there is a nobleman in Gaocheng who particularly likes to abuse young girls. No young girl can survive more than three days in the hands of this nobleman.
But as long as he set his eyes on the daughter of a certain family, that family had to cleanse their daughter and send her to the nobleman's house happily.
There was also a noble who liked to eat hearts, especially children's hearts, so a child would unexpectedly disappear in the low city every day, and this child would always strangely appear in the noble's home in the high city.
and also…
There are countless similar things.
Moreover, buying a house, going to school, and seeking medical treatment in the low-lying city are not free, and are even very expensive. Therefore, the seemingly beautiful low-lying city is actually far from being as beautiful as it looks. Most of the people in the low-lying city are just struggling to survive in the city.
It’s not that there weren’t some people who resisted, but they all died miserably.
But the nobles don't care about the lack of a few people, because the Kingdom of Lafia is famous and is known as the Pearl of the West Sea. Many people are scrambling to become residents of the Kingdom of Lafia, and the number of applicants every year is enormous.
The only thing that matters to becoming a civilian in Lafia is how much money you give. As long as the money is in place, you can be arranged immediately.
Even if someone is willing to pay a huge price, they can directly become a high and mighty noble.
When people come in, others leave. The low city is only this big.
If the number of people exceeds the living standard, then in order to maintain the beauty and order of the low city, someone is bound to be evicted, so every year there will be people who are considered to have not contributed enough put on the expulsion list.
Of course, being on the eviction list does not mean that you will definitely be deported. It all depends on whether you can afford to pay.
There are many people who pay high taxes every year and work hard for many years as a family and finally buy a house in a low-income city. However, they are directly put on the eviction list, driven out of the city, and become penniless.
So why do almost all the people in the lower cities prefer to endure oppression and are unwilling to leave the city? Because the outside of the city is a real hell.
