Slaves longed for freedom, but they were still different from the prisoners who were imprisoned and tortured in the city under the sea.

If it is a prisoner who advances into the city, as soon as he catches the opportunity, he will definitely rack his brains and think about how to escape.

But slaves look ahead.

This is the essential difference between them and the prisoners of Advance City.

Maud glanced at the silent slaves, and without saying anything more, stepped through the gap in the bars and walked straight to the clear glass water tank where the mermaid girl was imprisoned.

The slaves hesitated as they looked at Maud as she walked towards the tank.

"Shall we ...... Can I go to find the key? ”

The person who spoke was still the male slave just now.

What he said was the voice of the other slaves.

"It's your freedom to do whatever you want, you don't need to ask me."

Maud came to the transparent tank and looked at the cowering slaves.

Even this kind of thing has to be asked like walking on thin ice.

It is not unreasonable for some people to dislike slavery from the bottom of their hearts.

"Thank you!"

Maude's words granted the slaves a pardon, and they rose and went out of the cage to find the keys to the shackles and collars from the corpses.

Inside the water tank, the mermaid girl who couldn't hear the sound looked at this scene in surprise.

Immediately afterward, she looked cautiously at Maude, who was standing in front of the water tank, and her expression was full of timidity.

She didn't know what Maud was trying to do.

However, her intuition told her that the man in front of her would not hurt her.

Still, she couldn't suppress the timidity that came from her heart.

Maud lifted the heavy wooden plank that covered the top of the tank and broke the chain that held the mermaid girl to the tank.

"Can you come out on your own?"

“……”

The mermaid girl looked at Maude in amazement.

"Don't understand?"

"I—I understand."

The mermaid girl came back to her senses and poked her face out of the tank.

Timidly looking at Maude, he used his hands together, propped himself on the edge of the cylinder mouth, and with a little force, he let his upper body out of the water.

Then, the mermaid girl's slender white arms pulled wildly towards the outside of the water tank, as if trying to pull the lower half of the fish out of the water tank.

But for her, the shackles on her body were too heavy, or for some other reason, she tried several times, but they all failed.

Due to the excessive pulling action, the hair covering the sensitive part of the chest fell to one side, and immediately leaked a little spring light.

Disco is also an old auctioneer, in order to stimulate the guests' desire to auction, he didn't even give a piece of underwear to the mermaid girl.

If the auction had gone ahead, it would have been almost conceivable how the male creatures would have reacted.

Seeing that the mermaid girl couldn't get out no matter how she pulled it, Maude couldn't help but glance at the mermaid girl's completely useless lower fish body.

Hurt?

Maud raised her hand and pulled the mermaid girl down.

"Ahh

The mermaid girl couldn't help but scream, but quickly covered her mouth, for fear of upsetting Maude.

Maude's movements were not gentle, but they weren't too rough, and after pulling the mermaid girl out of the water tank, she put it directly on the ground.

The mermaid girl seemed to be unable to keep the fishtail standing on the ground to maintain balance, and her body suddenly fell backwards.

Seeing this, Maude grabbed the mermaid girl's waist in time to prevent the mermaid girl from falling directly to the ground.

"Your fishtail is injured?"

"Hmm."

The mermaid girl lowered her head, her face was slightly ruddy, and her voice was like a mosquito's chirping.

"Can't even stand firm?"

"I'm sorry ......"

The mermaid girl's head was buried even lower.

Maude frowned slightly, put the mermaid girl on the ground, and then took off the black coat on her body and threw it into the mermaid girl's hands.

"Put it on."

“……”

The mermaid girl caught her coat, looked at Maude who turned around with a complicated expression, and silently put on her coat to hide the skin exposed to the air.

"Thank you."

After putting on her coat, the mermaid girl's eyes were grateful.

Maud did not turn around, but looked at the group of slaves who were looking for the key in the pile of corpses, and said calmly:

"This is No. 1 Tree Island, located in the middle of the entire Chambord Islands, and it is also the farthest point from the coastline, but there are still some gaps between the islands, so you don't need to go to the coastline, you can go directly to the bottom of the sea through these sea cracks."

"I can't walk now, but if I can get to the sea...... So, can you please take me to those islands......

The mermaid girl looked timidly at Maude's back.

Asking Maud for help was her only chance to get rid of the archipelago.

And she mustered up the courage to seize the opportunity.

If she refused, even if she could take off the collar around her neck, there would be no way to escape from this place full of disasters.

Maude turned sideways to look at the mermaid girl with a look of hope in her eyes, thinking that it would only be a few hundred meters from here to the gap between No. 1 and No. 2 Tree Island, so she nodded and agreed.

In the future, if you go to Fish-Man Island, this mermaid girl in front of you may be a useful opportunity bridge.

As for how important, it is unknown.

Seeing that Maud agreed to help, the mermaid girl suddenly showed a relieved smile.

The confinement of this period of time, and the gloomy life that can be foreseen in the future, weighed her out of breath.

And now, she's finally getting a breather.

"My lord, this is the key, which should be able to unlock the collar on that mermaid lady."

At this time, a male slave returned to the cage with the key.

The shackles and collars on his body had been removed, but when he was freed, he did not escape directly, but carefully brought the key to the cage.

Moddo glanced at the slave male and took the key without saying a word.

The male slave didn't say anything, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Maud.

Maud's expression moved slightly, and her gaze turned away from the male slave and instead looked out of the cage.

I saw that the other slaves also bowed deeply to him, and expressed their gratitude to him in this way.

Maud looked at them.

"You are from a non-member country, and when you go out of here, you will be targeted by other slave catchers on the island at any time, so instead of wasting time on this move, you should think about how to get out of the lawless zone safely."

"That's the only way we can thank you."

The male slave got up slowly, with a solemn expression.

Maude glanced at him and said calmly, "Let's do it ourselves." ”

The male slave bowed again, and then turned and left.

As Maud said, they are non-union people who need to race against time to escape the lawless zone.

Only then can they go one step further and embrace freedom in the true sense of the word.

One by one, the slaves left.

Seven or eight minutes later.

Lafayette, having scavenged the loot, returned here.

He carried a bulging cloth bag on his shoulder, which seemed to contain a lot of banknotes.

Maud looked at the cloth bag on Lafayette's shoulder and smiled, "It seems that the harvest is not bad." ”

"Ho, it's a lot less than expected."

Lafayette was a little dissatisfied, mainly because he remembered the harvest in the dragon's territory, and the money was piled up into a small mountain.

In comparison, the foundation of the human auction house is much shabby.

"If you don't have a business, you just have to make money."

Maud didn't care too much, picked up the mermaiden, and prepared to leave here.

Lafayette glanced at the mermaid girl, her eyes paused on the black coat on the mermaid girl, but she remained silent and did not ask why.

Several people left the human auction house through the back door and went outside.

In the time of the delay, the navy stationed on the Chambord Islands had already taken their positions.

While guiding the guests out of the land of right and wrong, they formed an encirclement around the human auction house.

When Maud and Lafayette walked out of the human auction hall, the navy with standard weapons in hand was stunned.

"It's really Bacardi. Maude ......"

The admiral's face changed.

When he first received the report, he was still a little unconvinced.

"The Navy is moving fast."

Maud first glanced at the navy around him, and then immediately covered the entire auction hall with his sights and ears.

Under the "scanning" of seeing and hearing, Maude could not perceive a single breath.

I think the guests have escaped from the auction hall without any problems.

With the bottom of his mind, Maude ordered: "Lafayette, demolish this auction house." ”

"Okay."

Lafayette smiled slightly, put down the cloth bag containing the money, and immediately drew his staff and sword.

The act of drawing the sword directly stimulated the surrounding navy, and subconsciously aimed the muzzle of the gun at Maud and Lafayette.

Fortunately, the person in charge of the team was calmer and did not give an order rashly, but frowned and looked at the situation in the field.

Without a valid reason, the navy cannot attack the Seven Martial Seas.

Under the watchful eyes of many navies, Lafayette swung several swords at the auction house.

The sword light flashed, and the human auction hall was cut into several pieces, and it collapsed with a bang, raising a large amount of dust.

The surrounding navy, and even some of the people who had not yet left, looked at the human auction house destroyed by Lafayette with a shocked expression.

Here, it's Doflamingo's property!

And such a move is tantamount to slapping Doflamingo in the face.

The admiral who led the team looked deeply at Maude, who was hugging the mermaid girl.

The man in front of him, who had just become the Seven Martial Seas, did whatever he wanted as rumored......

In the midst of the crowd.

A sturdy figure came to the scene, also looking at Maude.

But the gaze of this figure was then locked on the mermaid girl who was held in Maude's arms.
