How should I put this?
Ulti's looks and personality were complete opposites. More precisely, she was a baby-faced, busty girl.
Or, to put it another way, a cute but feisty little loli.
But she was not the same type as Perona. Perona was more of a ditzy little princess.
Ulti, on the other hand, had an adorable childish air about her.
But that was not the important part, because there was a tattoo on her left cheek. While it was perfectly normal for pirates to have a tattoo or two, this one was different.
Because in this world, that tattoo was taboo.
The Celestial Dragon Hoof Mark.
It represented the supreme authority of the Celestial Dragons, as well as the lowliness and humiliation of slaves. No one would ever willingly tattoo such a thing on themselves.
Moreover, anyone bearing the Celestial Dragon Hoof Mark was the private property of the Celestial Dragons.
No matter where they were, they would be captured and brought back. The Navy might even dispatch its highest-ranking combat forces directly...
Therefore, anyone with the Celestial Dragon Hoof Mark would hide it. First, because they feared being hunted by a Navy Admiral; second, because they did not want to face their humiliating past.
Or rather, it was the greatest hurdle in the hearts of all Celestial Dragon slaves. As long as it remained on their bodies, they would forever be slaves of the Celestial Dragons.
Once it was exposed, even Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, probably would not be able to protect them.
Moke set Ulti down, then turned his scrutinizing gaze toward Page One. "If nothing unexpected happened, you have one on your face too, don't you?"
Page One seemed to have resigned himself to his fate and took off his mask on his own.
