Chapter 1063: Evil people still need to be punished by evil people
Miranda shouted for help along the way, but passers-by did not help her. Instead, she was beaten and scolded by her creditors.
The loan sharks used their vicious eyes to easily drive away those weak people who had illusions. They didn’t even dare to speak up for the weak women and could only lower their heads and pretend not to see.
Miranda was completely destitute the next day, with her most precious ancestral home being robbed by creditors.
Miranda also lost her personal freedom. Her hands and feet were tied and she was thrown into a carriage by her creditors.
The carriage was heading towards the palace. In the cargo box, there were dozens of young slaves. Miranda, who was wearing tattered clothes, mixed in with them without any sense of incongruity.
What awaits them is a lifetime of slavery within the royal family. They will be worked to death as long as they don't die. Once they enter the palace through the iron gate, there is no possibility of leaving unless they lose their lives.
"That woman who looks a bit ugly and a bit unlucky, haven't you seen her?"
When Zoro returned to his residence, Miranda was nowhere to be found. He began to ask the neighbors where the lady with dark circles under her eyes had gone.
Faced with the samurai with four swords hanging on his waist, everyone around him kept their mouths shut tacitly and remained silent about Zoro's questions.
They just kept begging him to be kind and let Sauron ask others. Common people don't want to get into trouble. If they lose their labor force, the whole family will be broken.
After asking several people in succession and everyone's answer was the same, Zoro realized that something must have happened to Miranda.
He regretted not returning earlier. If he had returned earlier, he might have been able to stop Miranda and protect the woman from the bad guys.
In fact, even if Zoro had set out earlier, he would still have missed Miranda due to his poor sense of direction.
Having lost the key important person, Zoro, who had not slept all night, yawned, hugged his green hair, and didn't know where to start.
However, when the swordsman was sleepy, someone always brought him a pillow. The loan shark who kidnapped Miranda could not wait to show up.
After sending Miranda away, this unscrupulous creditor returned the same way to collect the house, fearing that other black gloves would get there first and swallow up the "fruits of his labor" over the past few days.
The other party didn't care that there was a green-haired man standing at the door. He kicked open Miranda's outer door and kept cursing after entering the house.
He recognized the quality of the house, but was extremely disparaging to Miranda, calling her a bitch all the time, and calling the woman a poor bitch who didn't leave anything of value in the house.
After searching through all the boxes and cabinets, he only found some old clothes, not even any valuable gold or silver jewelry. The man was very disappointed as he had thought Miranda could hide some private money.
He picked up the group of worn-out clothes left by Miranda, walked to the second-floor window, and threw them out.
The men thought that Miranda's things in the house were unlucky, so they threw them directly out of the window. If these pieces hit someone, the other person would have to bear the consequences.
The creditor had thrown away most of Miranda's things, and the whole house became empty with only the walls, which immediately made him happy.
He planned to find a craftsman to paint the house inside and out, buy some cheap furniture and move it in, and then rent it out at a high price. He believed that someone would rent it.
The landlord's good days were just around the corner. The man hummed a little tune and walked down the stairs and out the door in a domineering manner, but he was stopped by a hand.
"Are you related to the owner of the house? Why do you touch her things?"
His way was stopped by a swordsman with a green algae-haired face. There was a hint of anger on the other party's face. The loan shark came in a hurry and had no weapons in his hands.
If a fight really breaks out, with flesh and blood fighting against weapons, the creditor will definitely be the one who suffers, and the anger that had been suppressed will be half eliminated.
Use a slightly weaker tone to make a routine announcement: "That bad woman Miranda owes me money. She couldn't pay back the principal and the tools, so she mortgaged her house to me. This is the IOU. Do you want to pay for her?"
He took out the IOU from his jacket pocket, which had Mirada's signature and fingerprints on it. The lender had never forced him to borrow the money, and even smiled and said the interest rate was very low.
When it comes to asking for money, he has a completely different attitude. He won't give any time for leniency and joins the royal family in squeezing the common people dry.
In the eyes of creditors, every pedestrian walking on the street is a walking human mine. As long as they lend more high-interest loans, they will be able to live a rich life.
When Zoro was in the Straw Hat Pirates, he was a pauper and had to borrow money from Nami to buy a sword. Without the approval of the Straw Hat Pirates' butler, most of the crew members were poor.
The only ones who have some private money may be Robin or Franky. Zoro can't even take out a single coin now.
There is no hope of helping the woman pay back the money, so the only thing he can do is to ask about the whereabouts of the lady with dark circles under her eyes, "Since the house was mortgaged to you, where did you take Miranda?"
"Brother, I didn't expect that you have such a strong taste. You can even sleep with a woman like Miranda?"
The creditor obviously misunderstood the relationship between Zoro and Miranda and thought that it was Ms. Dark Circles' lover who came to visit.
Zoro had lost his patience with the gangster. He raised one hand slightly and struck the other's abdomen as quickly as a ghost.
This seemingly random punch contained powerful force. The creditor was suddenly struck by lightning. His body fell backwards suddenly, holding his stomach in pain.
His facial features were twisted in severe pain, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his legs kept shaking, and he soon lost the ability to move. He could only collapse to the ground, gasping for breath.
Zoro had a blank expression on his face as he slowly drew out the Sandai Kitetsu from his waist. The sharp blade flashing with cold light looked even colder in the sunlight.
He walked forward and gently placed the blade on the creditor's neck. The cold touch made the creditor's eyes widen instantly, and fear spread in his heart.
Zoro's voice was low and intimidating: "Where is that woman? Tell me!"
The creditor was so frightened that his lips trembled and he stammered, unable to speak. Zoro exerted a little force, and the blade cut the skin on the creditor's neck, and a trace of blood oozed out.
Seeing this, the creditor shouted in horror: "Don't... don't kill me! I sent her to the palace. I didn't hurt her. I promise that Miranda is still alive"!
The village chief's frightened expression did not seem to be a lie, so Zoro put away his knife, turned around and strode away. He wanted to find Miranda on his own and bring back the lady with dark circles under his eyes.
The creditor was left lying there, gasping for breath with lingering fear, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, muttering to himself, "Where did this pirate come from? What a madman who is not afraid of his own life."
But soon the madman he was talking about was circling around in front of him, trying every possible way to leave the street but unable to do so, his lack of direction was fully demonstrated.
Finally, Zoro returned to his creditor, and the Sandai Kitetsu put his arm around his neck again, "Take me there, I want to go to the palace now."
It takes another evil to deal with another evil. The tearful loan shark was walking in front with a knife at his neck, leading the way.
All we can say is that Zoro is not a wicked pirate. If it were any other pirate, he would have killed the other pirate with a single blow and just grabbed a passerby to lead the way.
Green Algae Head headed towards the palace. No one stopped him along the way, and no one dared to stop him.
