- Chapter 529 - Desire is the ladder of progress
The colorful light entered Sage’s chest, and instantly appeared between his chest and abdomen, and then filled around him, spreading to the top of his head.
“Human desires are the most terrible things.”
Bode murmured in a low voice: “Too much desire will cause trouble. No matter who they are, the desires in their hearts are beasts.”
As he spoke, the looming colorful halo shone more and more in Sage’s body.
“Farmers want better harvests? No, they want more land, want others to farm for them, and receive mountains of food.”
The colorful light flickered on Sage’s limbs.
“Merchants want to make more goods? No, merchants want to monopolize the goods on the sea. Just one idea can make the country lack the supplies.”
The light flickered in Sage’s abdomen.
“Nobles want a higher status? No! Nobles want to reach the top of the sea and rule everyone!”
The light flickered in Sage’s heart.
“Pirates don’t want more robberies, but they don’t need any disorder. They nourish the beast in their hearts and can never be satisfied!”
The light flashed in Sager’s head, turning him into a colorful light man.
“I want more, I want to get more. All the desires I have collected in the past two years are here. Experience it. Then feel desperate!”
The light shrank and disappeared into Sager’s body, as if it had never happened.
He twisted his neck, grinned, and looked down at Bode below, “That’s it?”
Bode, who was originally like a candle in the wind, looked down at this gaze. I don’t know if it was a last glimmer or the last candlelight, he suddenly became more energetic.
There was no madness or pain in those eyes, and they were as calm as if they had just drunk a sip of water.
“You, you”
Bode stammered, with an unbelievable look on his face, “Impossible! Why are you fine? That’s the desire of tens of thousands of people. That kind of thing is like a smelly rag covered with vomit and garbage. The smell of the soul alone is disgusting. Why?!”
The Desire Fruit can not only absorb desires, but also use desires as an attack ability to attack people. Once a person is subjected to the desires, the mild case will not be able to control the desires and do things beyond their own understanding.
The severe case will go crazy and become a lunatic who only knows how to pursue his desires.
After coming out of the Impel Downs, he first absorbed the desires of the inmates around him. After taking these desires out, he absorbed the desires of at least tens of thousands of people in two years. The accumulation is enough to make a person a crazy monster.
Generally speaking, he is reluctant to use these desires as attacks, but he is about to die, and he is facing a pirate like Sager who has no way out, so he released them.
For ordinary people, the desires of two or three people can make that person crazy.
The desire of tens of thousands of people to gather, even the four emperors can’t be safe and sound!
Where is the pain you promised!
“Disgusting? I don’t feel anything. Well, it’s uncomfortable.”
Sage sneered: “Isn’t this human nature? No matter how many people gather, it’s human nature. What’s wrong with it. If you can’t even bear these.”
He grinned and laughed: “What kind of landlord am I?! The so-called landlord is the one who owns everything, whether it is the wishes of others or everything on the land, you can own it!”
“You regard these things as sins? I overestimated you a little. I thought you were strong-willed and a strong man. It turns out you are a diode.”
Half of his body was cut off, but he still had air to hold on. His whole body was damaged and his throat was chopped, but he could still squeeze out the strength to speak.
From the perspective of will, this is a guy who deserves Sager to take it seriously.
But diodes are another matter.
“Diodes? Black or white?”
Bode, who roughly understood what Sager meant, suddenly flushed. He didn’t know where he got the strength from. He pointed his arm at Sager and said angrily:
“What do you know! Desire is the most terrible thing. It is because of desire that there are so many tragedies in the sea. Like this island, before I came, cough cough cough!”
The excitement made him spit out a few mouthfuls of blood. His originally flushed face faded and became even paler.
“Before I came, there were several conflicts here because of water sources and farmland between villages. Everyone’s children and parents died because of these meaningless disputes!”
“After I came, the chaos here was eliminated, and everyone would not have unnecessary disputes, precisely because there was no desire!”
A group of people gradually surrounded them. The residents of those islands came here to see what was going on because they heard the sound of fighting.
There was indifference in their eyes. Everyone they met could respond with a smile and get along very harmoniously.
But.
Sage glanced at them, his eyes on Bode, he squatted down and pointed at Bode’s robe, “Where did you get your clothes?”
“What?” Bode was stunned.
“I asked you where you got your clothes, no, where did you get the fabric, this one.”
He rubbed the material of the robe with his fingers, “Well, it’s woven, the material is okay, medium-priced, of course, it’s a ‘medium-priced’ that ordinary people can hardly afford. If people have no desires, why do you wear this?”
Sage smiled and said, “Are you saying that if you don’t put on this shirt, how can people on the sea know that you are a saint with no desires?”
“It’s just a dress!” cried Bode.
“Yeah, so I asked how did this come about and why do you have to wear clothes again?”
He shook his head and stopped paying attention to Bode. Instead, he stood up and waved to a guy closer to him, “Come here.”
The resident was a middle-aged man, and his clothes were washed white and full of patches.
Not only him, but everyone here has the same style of clothes, and they haven’t changed into new clothes for a long time.
“Want a new dress?” Sage asked.
The man shook his head. He had no such worldly desires at all. “As long as the clothes can be worn, I have no other requirements.”
“That’s it”
Sage nodded, raised his hand and waved out a blast of wind, like a sharp blade, splitting his clothes, separated them, and was blown by the wind, falling to the ground.
Then, he pointed to the white ruffled top on the ground that collapsed due to the transformation, and said:
“This one is mine, that one is yours, let me choose now.”
“It doesn’t matter what you choose, you can wear it even if it’s mended.” The middle-aged man’s face remained calm.
Hearing this, Bode smiled.
“Really? It’s different. Your clothes are just ordinary fabrics. Take a look for yourself. There are patches everywhere, and the stitching is not good. If there is a strong wind, air will leak into it.”
“My clothes are different. This is the most expensive fabric on the sea today. It is made from the hair of the sea antelope. This sea animal is fast and difficult to catch, and only the top hair on its back is the most precious. My The fabric is made from the top hair of a hundred sea antelopes.”
Sage said: “I don’t know how many pieces of clothes like this I can buy from you.”
There was a flash of fluctuation in the resident’s eyes, but he was still ready to shake his head.
“Don’t refuse in a hurry. This kind of fabric also has a special characteristic. Even if it is torn, if you use a good needle and thread to mend it, you won’t even see any traces of mending, and it will never get old.”
“Think about it, clothes are not worn out, you can’t tell if they are torn or mended. They are both breathable and warm, and they dry quickly. If you wear this one, you won’t have to change clothes in the future. You can only wear this one.” That’s it.”
“The only drawback is that it is expensive, but I am giving it to you for free, without paying a penny, as long as you pick it up and wear it on yourself. Then you can get one that you can afford.” There are thousands of clothes around you. Wearing them will not only save you trouble, but also make you unique.”
“But.”
There were more fluctuations in the middle-aged man’s eyes, but he seemed to be suppressed by something. He gritted his teeth and said, “I still”
“There’s no desire anyway, right?”
Sage’s tone was as bewitching as a devil, “Which one should I choose? They are all the same anyway.”
There was a hint of surprise in the middle-aged man’s eyes. He nodded and said uncertainly: “Really give it to me?”
“I never lie when I speak.” Sage bared his teeth.
“Thank you then!”
The middle-aged man quickly picked up Sage’s clothes and draped them on the ground, revealing a smile that in Bode’s eyes had completely lost its indifferent taste and was instead filled with a…
joy?
“You are tempting!” Bode said angrily.
“Aren’t you using your abilities?”
Sage chuckled: “And, from the very beginning, when he made the choice, the problem was already proven.”
“If they are all the same and have no desire, then he should just pick up my clothes, because they are all the same. Just like me, because I am too rich, it doesn’t matter what I wear. If I wear good clothes, I feel that I should take it for granted. If I wear bad clothes, I think it is natural. I don’t think it’s impossible. Of course, I choose to wear good clothes unless necessary.”
He turned his head and said to Bode:
“But I don’t know how to choose. Once a person has a choice, it means he has a desire. Do you think that being pure is not a desire? Why do you have to wear rags? If you must choose simple clothes to show off yourself, then It’s a desire in itself, so.”
The corner of Sage’s mouth curled up, “Human desires cannot be absorbed completely!”
“No, that’s not it, no”
Bode’s blood faded, and his eyes, which had been looking at death, were now full of panic and a little resentful, “That’s not it! Desire, desire is an ugly thing, desire.”
“Desire is a good thing.”
Sage grabbed the word, stretched out his hand, and whipped up a strong wind, wrapping all the rings that were broken due to the transformation in his hand. With the thunder and lightning, they melted into tiny golden beans.
“You also have a chance!”
He shouted to the others: “There is only one piece of clothing made of this material, but don’t you want it? Now I have a chance. I see that there are no golden beans in my hand. There are ten in total. Now I want to throw them away.” If you go out and pick it up first, you can ask me to exchange it for this fabric!”
His words gradually changed everyone’s eyes, but they didn’t move.
Sage added another fire, “This is gold! With this thing, you can buy a new shirt, or some nice patches, and add some new wool to make your clothes warmer and more comfortable.” It’s durable, it’s going to get cold after all. Throw it out now, and it’s yours if you grab it!”
There was a brief silence.
Finally, after a person’s eyes flashed crazily, he couldn’t help shouting: “Can I change the fabric after I grab it? What if it’s fake?”
Snap.
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden bean hit his forehead, fell from above, and was caught by him subconsciously.
“That’s a good question. I’ll give you a reward. When the next ship comes, you can exchange it for this bean. In the name of my natural disaster, I guarantee that you can exchange it!”
Sage smiled and said: “I am the [Four Emperors] Natural Disaster, am I still lying to you commoners?”
Lack of desire does not mean lack of brains, nor does it mean lack of knowledge.
Newsbirds do not distinguish between uncharted islands and uncharted islands. They will report indiscriminately if they encounter people along the way. The reputation of the Yonko is unknown to many people in the New World.
This group of people is obviously not included in this group.
“Only nine left.”
Sage looked around, then suddenly stretched out his hand and threw it, like scattered flowers, flying around from his hand, and then suddenly shouted: “Grab it!”
The sudden shouts made all those people with fluctuations in their eyes excited. It was almost instinctive. Two people took the first step. With this step, it was like opening some fuse.
“No!!”
Bode roared with eyes split open. At this moment, everyone took steps forward and stretched out their hands. No matter men, women, old or young, they all grabbed the golden beans that fell on the ground and glowed with light.
“Hahahahaha!”
The corners of Sage’s mouth almost reached his cheeks, and he laughed loudly.
“No, it’s not like that, it’s not.” Bode’s eyes were full of despair, and his breath gradually weakened, like a balloon being deflated and slowly drying up.
“That’s it!”
Sage turned to him and said, “So, back to the question, where did you get your clothes?”
“It’s because of desire! You wear clothes because you don’t want to be naked, and you wear robes to show your identity as a monk. Otherwise, why not other clothes?”
He pointed at Bode and said: “Your clothes come from other people’s textiles. Why textiles? Because there is demand, and when there is demand, there is business. When there is business, some people want to make money, and some people want to exchange this thing for what they need.” something.”
“I have desires myself. How can I force others to have no desires? Even if I suppress them, it’s useless. You think I’m trying to trick you. No, I just gave them the power to choose and a chance to live a better life. ”
“People have fire because they don’t want to eat raw food, they have clothes because they are afraid of cold, they have weapons because they want to kill people, and they have various choices because their desires are insatiable.”
“Saving the world? Absorbing ‘sins’? Stop making trouble. A guy like you is not worthy of doing such a thing because of human desires.”
…
“Bode, you are so thin and deserve to be bullied. If you pay me today, I won’t beat you.”
I hate the bullying of these people, their discriminatory looks and malicious ridicule.
“Bode, you are a famous boxer now. If you want to bring more viewing experience to others, I tell you, you must see blood!”
I hated the malicious cheers from the audience, and I also hated the greed of this businessman.
“Bode, the reason for going to sea is money! We all go to sea illegally. We are going to be regarded as pirates anyway, so why not actually rob!”
I hate the badness of my companions, and the cruelty of the captain.
“Bode.”
“Bode?”
“Bode!”
I hate the philistines of the common people, I hate the snobbery of my friends, I hate the condescension of the nobles, and I hate the privilege of the Celestial Dragons who do not take human life seriously.
Human beings, why can’t we coexist peacefully?
Why do they all have desires?
Desire is such a nasty thing.
desire
“It’s the ladder of progress!!!”
The sound of a bell-like voice stimulated Bode’s cloudy and blurred eyes to become clear for a moment. What he could see was that he had devoted himself to this island, finally absorbing the desires and turning them into peaceful and docile residents.
At this time, like a madman, they were scrambling for the golden beans on the ground. Those who grabbed them showed greedy and joyful smiles from the bottom of their hearts.
And the wanton and arrogant smile on the white-haired man with open hands.
