Going to help Fish-Man Island?

Maude didn't expect that the mermaid girl in front of him, who had some fate with him, would actually make such a request to him under such circumstances.

It's like ...... The drowning man finally found a straw.

It doesn't matter if this straw will respond to her, anyway, when she sees it, she has to hold on desperately.

Maud couldn't help but be silent.

His silence made Lafayette's eyes darken beside him.

Compared to turning around and going to Fish-Man Island, the more important thing after that is undoubtedly to go to Dressrosa to kill the remnants of the Don Quixote family.

So, in Lafayette's view, in the face of such a gratuitous request, Maude's response should have been to refuse directly, rather than remain silent.

This struck Lafayette as strange.

At this time.

Tears welled up in the mermaid girl's eyes, and she looked at the man in front of her with a face full of hope.

Maude's eyelids drooped, her chin pinched, and she thought in silence.

After the end of the top war, the development of many events basically got rid of the trajectory of the original book.

Ace survived.

Blackbeard didn't get the Shock Fruit, and the pirates had more than half of their claws removed.

The admiral Sengoku did not abdicate, and the generals were still the three generals.

Jinping, who had been deprived of the position of the Seven Martial Seas, was still imprisoned in the Advance Castle.

Without Jinping's appearance, Fish-Man Island is in dire straits.

Many, many things have become different.

Even Maude, who is a traverser, has now lost control of the future plot.

However, he still has the advantage of being ahead of everyone else in the world, and that is that he knows some important secrets that no one else knows.

Like what......

The mermaid princess Shirahoshi is the secret of the ancient weapon Poseidon, the god of the sea.

So when the mermaid girl in front of him asked him for help, he directly thought of the ancient weapon mermaid princess Shirahoshi, who had not yet come into contact with the Straw Hat Pirates.

So much so that he didn't refuse the mermaid girl's request for help at the first time.

He's weighing the pros and cons.

Maybe now is an opportunity to gain the favor of the Fish-Man Island royal family, and even Princess Shirahoshi.

Although it is not necessary to have the ancient weapon Poseidon in his hands, as long as he has a good relationship with Princess Shirahoshi, it is at least a good thing.

And now, it is also a time when Fish-Man Island is suffering and urgently needs the help of others.

In the cell, another mermaid girl who was pretending to be dead, and the fishman next door who was covered in bruises and opened his eyes slightly, all pricked up their ears.

"Fish-Man Island......"

Maude raised his eyelids and said lightly: "I haven't been there yet, but I can go and enjoy the scenery." ”

"W-Is this a promise?"

The mermaid girl's eyes widened, and she looked at Maude with a flat face excitedly.

"Whatever you want."

Maud turned to leave, leaving behind a sentence: "Lafayette, help these people untie their chains and go and stay for themselves." ”

"Including the merfolk next door?"

"Yes."

"Ho, understood."

Under the watchful gaze of the slaves, Maud strode out of the cabin.

He hadn't thought of giving up the supplies and possessions on the three pirate ships.

But I'll have to take some time to scavenge it, so naturally I don't have the time to waste time here.

At the end of the cabin, another mermaid girl in the cell, as well as a wounded merman, watched Maude's departing back with an incredulous gaze.

Only the red-haired mermaid girl, covering her mouth, was lost and excited and cried silently.

Lafayette watched Maude leave, and then unchained the slaves one by one.

After doing this, he didn't care whether the fishmen and humans in the cabin could get along peacefully, so he left the cabin without looking back, ready to help Maud collect the loot.

With the departure of Maud and Lafayette.

The human slaves who were held here all walked out of their cells cautiously.

They looked at the mermaid girl and the male merfolk with a slightly complicated gaze, and then immediately supported each other and slowly walked towards the exit.

Not for a while.

All the human slaves left the ship's cabin.

"Luna, that human...... It's Bacardi. Maude, right? Isn't he a pirate? Why did you just let us go? Is there a good thing in human beings? Will he help Fish-Man Island? ”

In the cell at the end, another mermaid girl with long blue hair, after being released from the state of pretending to be dead, got up and looked at her fellow clansmen beside her, and threw out questions one after another.

"I don't know, Windsor......"

Luna raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and silently looked in the direction of the exit.

Windsor opened her mouth to say something more, but when she saw Luna's expression, she silently stopped.

Bang dang.

A tall figure was at the door of the cell, but it was the fishman next door who was covered in bruises.

He stood at the door of the cell, looked at Luna and Windsor inside, and said in a deep voice, "Get out of here quickly, for us, only by jumping into the sea can we be truly free." ”

Luna and Windsor glanced at each other, then nodded to the fish-man at the door.

"Let's go."

The fish-man endured the constant pain from the wound and led the way to the exit.

Luna and Windsor follow the Fish-Man.

They left the cabin one by one and went up the stairs to a wooden corridor that led to the deck.

The leading fish-man suddenly stopped.

Luna and Windsor, who were right behind him, almost crashed into him.

"Why did you stop all of a sudden?"

In the face of Windsor's questioning, the fish-man did not answer, but looked fiercely at the three men standing in the corridor in front of him.

From the faces of these three men, the fish-man saw an undisguised look of greed, so that he could clearly feel the malice from these three men.

"This is what humanity really is......"

The fish-man's eyes instantly became more ferocious, and he opened his mouth to reveal a mouthful of fangs that represented racial characteristics.

Luna and Windsor also saw the three male humans at the front of the corridor who did not hide their malice and greed.

Apparently a few minutes ago, they were still slaves in the same cell as them.

Now, a few minutes later, he has changed from a slave stance to a slave catcher without any psychological burden.

And the three men who are blocked here don't care what the prey is thinking.

In their eyes, Luna and Windsor are a lot of money.

"I don't know why that pirate is not interested in you, but your value is very high, as long as you sell you, hehe......"

"A mermaid can sell for at least 50 million Bailey, and these two girls are so beautiful, they may be able to sell tens of millions more,"

"Ah, that's more than 100 million, we're rich!"

The three men with greedy faces seemed to see the beautiful life ahead, and their breathing became heavy for a while.

Luna and Windsor saw fear in their eyes and subconsciously took two steps back.

The fish-man grinned and strode towards the three men.

Watching the fish-man approach, one of the men raised an ordinary long knife that he had temporarily found from the boat, and sneered:

"Injured like this, you don't want to run away, but want to be a hero? Sure enough, just like the rumors, the mermaid's brain is full of muscles......"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and kill him, who knows if the sea thief will turn back!"

"Hmph."

The man with the knife snorted coldly and took a few steps forward to meet the fish-man

"Only one human has a cold weapon......"

The fish-man stared intently at the three humans in front of him.

As long as there are no firearms, in such a narrow place, even if he is seriously injured, he is confident that he will kill the other three people.

The fish-man kicked his feet, endured the sharp pain caused by the wound, and slammed into the man with the knife in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly retreated, and the other two men, who were originally unarmed, each took out a hastily found crossbow from behind him.

“！！！”

The fish-man was startled, and the speed of the forward attack was not affected in the slightest.

The two men didn't hesitate to pull the crossbow trigger on the fish-man.

Boom

In the corridor, a subtle bowstring sounded.

Two poisoned crossbow arrows pierced the air and headed straight for the fish-man's face.

The space in the corridor is limited, and the distance is too short.

So the fish-man didn't even think about dodging, and when he charged, he predicted that he would protect the door with one hand and his chest with the other.

Poof!

Two bolts were nailed to the fish-man's arm in front of his face.

The fish-man snorted, and the attack slowed down.

Seeing this, the man with the knife saw the opportunity, dragged his hungry and tired body, and used all his strength to swing the knife and slash at the fishman's body.

Laugh at!

Blood splattered.

The fish-man's body shook, but instead of falling, he gritted his teeth to withstand the injury, and jerked out the arm that was hit by the arrow.

Under the frightened gaze of the knife-wielding man, the webbed palm was firmly stuck on the knife-wielding man's neck, and he immediately pinched it hard.

Click!

The knife-wielding man fell to the ground.

After killing one of them, the fish-man turned to the other two men who were hurriedly loading their arrows.

Click, click......

Three or two strokes broke the vitality of these two people.

After killing the three humans with heavy injuries, the fish-man staggered against the wall, slowly slid down, and sat on the floor.

"Altaïr!!"

Luna and Windsor were shocked and approached Altaïr.

"Are you alright? Altaïr ......"

They looked worriedly at Altaïr, who was getting weaker and weaker.

Altaïr glanced down at the two crossbow arrows on his arm, the apparent changes in his body's function, which made him realize that the arrows might have some unknown toxin on them, combined with the brutal injuries all over his body.

This means that he is basically hopeless.

"You ...... Leave me alone...... Hurry up...... Go...... Nautical mile ......"

Altaïr hung his head and spoke in fits and starts.

"What about you?"

“……”

Luna and Windsor were responded to by a dead silence.

Luna and Windsor noticed that not only did Altaïr's chest stop heaving, but the sound of his breathing had also disappeared.

"Altaïr? Altaïr? ”

"Luna, Altaïr...... Dead, we have to hurry up to the sea, humans are simply ......"

A look of grief and indignation appeared on Windsor's beautiful face, and in the middle of her words, she suddenly thought that Maude had restored their freedom, and swallowed back the words that had come to her mouth.

She took Luna's hand and ran towards the exit.

Luna looked back, blankly at Altaïr's dead.

Why......

Her gaze shifted slightly, fixed on the bodies of the three men.

Windsor pulled Luna out of the cabin, not looking at her surroundings, jumping over the nearest railing, leaping into the sea, making a few splashes, and then disappearing without a trace.

Half an hour later.

After searching for the loot, Maud came to the cabin corridor and silently looked at the three human corpses and one fish-man corpse lying on the ground.

With just a glance at the weapons scattered around the human corpses, Maude could guess what had just happened.

The ugly side of human beings is undoubtedly revealed.

Lafayette came behind Maud and said seriously:

"People who are dominated by desire have no humanity at all, but I don't think there's anything wrong with what they do, it's just that they don't have enough strength, so I can't blame anyone."

“……”

Maud did not refute Lafayette's words.

People live for "something".

Exploiting others in exchange for corresponding benefits.

In this world, it's the norm.

Not to mention between different races.

Presumably, for the three men on the ground, the existence of the race of mermaids and fish-people is no different from the chickens, ducks, pigs and cows they usually eat.

"Take the loot and go back to the Three Mags of Terror."

Maud didn't think much of it, withdrew her gaze, and turned to leave the cabin.

A moment later.

Under the gaze of the crowd on the deck of the merchant ship, Maude and his party took to the air with a large number of supplies.

"Bacardi. Maude ......"

"Are all the rumors a lie?"

Everyone looked at Maude with complicated expressions and gradually disappeared into the distance, and soon disappeared from view.

Over the clouds.

Terror three-masted ship.

With a good harvest, Maude and his party returned to the Dreadful Three-Mag.

"Good work."

Jaya glanced at the package full of food, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Although you have to work hard every day, if you don't cook for a day, you will feel uncomfortable.

Maud nodded to Jaya and returned to the room first.

Night.

At the feast.

Maude suddenly said, "Early tomorrow morning, we will set off for Fish-Man Island." ”

"Huh?"

Everyone at the table was taken aback.

Only Lafayette had a calm face, and he had been mentally prepared for this for a long time.

However, Maude's decision to go to Fish-Man Island still puzzled Lafayette.

Could it really be because of the request of a mermaid girl who has only seen two faces......

Such motives, in Lafayette's view, are too weak.

But beyond that, Lafayette can't think of any other reason.

"Boss, aren't we already in the New World? Why turn back to Fish-Man Island? ”

Urki put down the roasted leg and looked at Maude, who was sitting on the main seat, suspiciously.

On the other hand, the others also looked at Maude suspiciously.

Maude propped his cheek with the back of his hand and said perfunctorily: "If you suddenly want a territory, I think Fish-Man Island is good." ”

Naturally, he wouldn't tell the secret of Shirahoshi, the princess of Fish-Man Island, on the spot, so he just found a reason casually.

“！！！”

Hearing the reason given by Maude, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

The corners of Luo's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly:

"If you want territory, why don't you just grab one in the new world? Besides, isn't Maud's idea to set the ground in the sky? Instead of going to great lengths to go back to Fish-Man Island, it is better to occupy the empty island. ”

"Well, it makes sense, but ......"

Maude smiled and looked at Luo, who was speaking enthusiastically, and said seriously: "Whether it is an empty island at a height of 10,000 meters or a fish-man island under the bottom of the sea at 10,000 meters, I want both!" ”

“……”

Luo Deng was speechless, and he unconsciously began to think about the team, just don't look over, look like you like it.

Hawkins draws a card.

Looking at the cards drawn, a glimmer of light flashed in Hawkins' eyes.

"The right choice?"

He muttered to himself in confusion.
