Chapter 1067: Future Milk Girl Moda
Zoro followed the voice's guidance and walked to an inconspicuous cross. "I didn't expect it was really you. I am so lucky to be able to meet you alive."
His eyes were fixed on the woman nailed to the cross. The disgusting smell of blood filled the air, like a heavy haze.
The woman's body looked particularly helpless on the cross. Her lower limbs were tightly bound with rough ropes. Her skin was worn from the struggle and blood was oozing out.
"Who are you? As far as I can remember, we have never met."
Zoro began to observe carefully. The woman tied to the cross had a face he had never seen before. Could she be Sanji's acquaintance or lover?
The rest of her body seemed intact, but the originally plump breasts were cruelly cut off, which was an extreme insult to women.
The originally round place is now only a collapsed and bloody wound. The blood slowly flows along the body, dyeing the ground beneath it red.
Zoro's eyes became increasingly colder, like two sharp blades, revealing endless anger, and he clenched his teeth.
His hands unconsciously clenched the sharp blade at his waist, his knuckles turning white from the force. The tragic condition of the woman was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.
"My name is Moda. This is the first time I meet the members of the Straw Hat Pirates. I once helped Mr. Ace, and he told me about Straw Hat Luffy."
After the conversation was finally over, Zoro remembered to save the woman. He pulled out the Sandai Kitetsu and cut the ropes that bound her lower limbs.
However, the woman's hands were ruthlessly nailed to the cross with iron nails. It was obvious that they had been nailed there for a long time, and the blood near her palms had coagulated and formed scabs.
"Just bear with it for a moment, I'll help you remove the nail and save you."
There was no shortcut to taking out the steel nail in her hand. Moda nodded palely, agreeing with Sauron's behavior. Her savior could do whatever he wanted.
With approval, Sauron came behind the cross without hesitation and chopped it into pieces with two swords. The woman lost the restraint of the wooden board and fell from the air, but was caught by Sauron from behind.
"Just bear with it, the pain will only last for a moment." Zoro touched the steel nails, pinched the nail heads with two fingers and exerted force together, and at the same time, the two steel nails were taken out from his palm.
The skin and flesh that had originally grown back had holes appearing again, but Moda gritted her teeth and didn't even cry out in pain the whole time. Zoro really admired such a woman with such a strong spirit.
Zoro took off his shirt and covered Moda's naked body with it, allowing her to retain a little dignity as a woman. He still had many questions to ask.
Moda is a native of the Kingdom of Lulucia. Her parents are chefs at the Navy G2 Branch Base. The girl has lived with a group of cows since she was a child and is a cow girl who smells like milk.
Ace once came to a nearby town to look for Blackbeard's whereabouts, but he mistook a passerby and injured him. After being punished, he almost drowned. Fortunately, he was saved by Moda.
During the time Moda and Ace were getting along, Ace talked a lot about his younger brother, hoping that the two brothers would meet again one day. As the older brother, he wanted to see how his younger brother had grown up.
In order to repay Moda, Ace went to the Navy G2 base to deliver a letter to Milk Girl. Due to various coincidences, the process was very embarrassing and his identity was discovered, but the result was good.
The vice admiral of the G2 base saw Moda's letter of recommendation for milk, and finally the naval base changed from drinking bitter coffee to drinking milk coffee.
Coffee with fresh milk was welcomed by the sailors. The milk produced by Moda's cows was in short supply at the naval base.
He earned some hard-earned money to support his family and was able to meet his parents. He lived a happy life. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Ace was arrested and the Battle of Marineford broke out.
The vice admirals and navy officers of the G2 base were transferred to the defense of the naval headquarters. After the war, most of them did not return, and a major reshuffle took place within the naval base.
Moda's parents were fired, Milk Girl failed to establish a new relationship with the navy, and finally she had no place to sell milk.
The harsh rule of the Kingdom of Lulucia became increasingly severe, and Moda's parents became seriously ill due to their overwork.
She had no choice but to sell the cow she had raised with her own hands to get money to treat her parents' illnesses, but in the end, her parents were not cured and were killed by pirates. The whole family was broken and nothing was left.
"I am now a member of the Revolutionary Army, and Captain Sabo is also Luffy's sworn brother. I never thought that one day I would have such a close relationship with the Straw Hat Pirates."
After listening to Moda's story, Zoro recalled the first time he saw Ace with the Fire Fist, when the Straw Hat Pirates were adventuring in the desert country.
He happened to meet Ace who came here to hunt down Blackbeard. The other party recognized Luffy. Zoro did not expect that the first meeting would be the only one he had ever seen in his life.
Zoro only received the news about Ace's execution and the destruction of the Whitebeard Pirates later. In that damn place, Hades Island, the news was blocked and the information was delayed for several months.
Luffy didn't mention that he had a sworn brother named Sabo, but Zoro still believed what Moda said.
It is understandable that Milk Girl, who was in such a miserable state, joined the revolutionary army after her family was destroyed.
Isn't Dragon the leader of the Revolutionary Army now? The rise of Sabo, Captain Luffy's biological father and Luffy's sworn brother, indicates that the Revolutionary Army is also experiencing turmoil.
Putting aside his curiosity about other things for the moment, Zoro pointed at the pool of blood that was constantly accumulating blood and asked, "Was everything under this palace done by those royal family members?"
The blood of different creatures is of different types. Randomly transfusing blood to patients with ischemia will only make the patients die faster.
The blood of tens of thousands of people gathers together, and various sticky substances combine with each other. Normally, this is a pool of waste blood. If it enters the human body, the blood pollution can be directly fatal.
Moda's originally golden hair had now fallen out and there was not much left. She looked in the direction of the finger at the pool of blood not far away, and trembled weakly in the man's arms.
"Their whole family is a monster... a group of man-eating monsters, they are no longer human"
After the Battle of Marineford, the navy was severely damaged. The navies in major sea areas had no troops to suppress the pirates, and the pirates gradually became extremely active.
Several small pirate groups temporarily cooperated and formed a group to attack small member states, burning, killing and looting the country, focusing on the wealthy and powerful classes, and robbing the money of the rich would bring the greatest benefits.
The Kingdom of Lulucia experienced a pirate invasion, and Moda's parents died in the disaster. Milk Girl hid in a well and escaped.
At that time, the pirates did not attack the palace. With the generous reward from King Sezi's family, the kingdom guards burst out with amazing fighting power and killed the invading enemy.
After the pirates retreated, the entire country was devastated. There was no good place in the country. Many citizens' relatives were abducted or killed, and they fell into extreme pain.
Among them was King Sezi, whose beloved queen, Kemani's mother, died of fright in the chaos, and her body was already cold when it was found.
All the sufferings of the Kingdom of Lulucia began from here
