Whose blood?

What a strange question.

"Is this important?"

Maud took a closer look at the man's wounds.

Tsk, the old wound has not healed, and the new wound is coming, which is the true portrayal of this man.

With such a serious injury, not to mention the bearing force, the bearing force alone is extraordinary.

The man stared at Maude, his focused gaze devoid of emotion.

"Important."

He had not eaten a drop of water for many days, his voice was hoarse and low, and he spoke like the low roar of an animal.

Maude raised her gaze to meet the man's gaze.

The kind of eyes of men that seem to be looking at dead people will be displeased when they are felt by ordinary people, let alone those nobles who are high up.

will be tied up here and tortured, which is somewhat self-inflicted.

"There are navy, soldiers, and nobles on ships, that's probably it."

“……”

The man was silent, but his mouth slowly grinned, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth.

He smiled.

At the same time, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes when he looked at Maude.

"Well done."

There was joy in the hoarse, deep voice.

Is it against the navy or the aristocracy?

Most likely, it's the latter.

Maude became a little interested and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Mars. Jim. ”

"Slaves?"

"Yes."

Jim replied in a succinct manner, seemingly unconcerned about his slave status.

Maud thought for a moment, pulled out Chidori and severed the layers of chains that bound Jim.

Crash.

Heavy chains fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Jim looked at the chains that had been easily severed, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Stripped of the chains, he stepped down from the frame.

His feet, which had been poked by sharp weapons, supported his weight and stepped on the ground.

The pain was enough to make ordinary people scream and roll, but it only made him frown.

"You're good, it's a shame to die in such a place."

Maud slowly sheathed the hodori.

Jim looked at Maud in silence.

Maude said lightly: "You are free." ”

With that, Maude turned to leave.

This man, Jim, has extraordinary resilience.

Not physically, but spiritually.

There is such a number one person in the East China Sea?

However, if he and Lafayette hadn't come to the ship......

Maybe a day, maybe two days.

This man is bound to be tortured to death, becoming one of the cold numbers in this world that increases every second.

Jim watched Maude's back in silence until Maude walked to the door and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Bacardi. Hammond. ”

Before stepping out of the room, Maud left her name.

Jim looked at the empty door, whispered Maude's full name, and then stepped away from his miserable feet and came to the table where the various torture instruments were placed.

Glancing at the torture instrument on the table, Jim stretched out his right hand, which was also scarred, and picked up a knife from the torture instrument.

Then, with a knife, he scraped the hair from his head with a rough technique.

After a while, he shaved his head.

Because of the rough technique, there were more than a dozen wounds on the smooth head that began to ooze blood.

The lack of hair concealment also reveals the circular imprint on Jim's forehead.

The brand was not a dragon hoof print, but it was also considered a mark of slave status.

After shaving his hair, Jim headed for the door.

With each step, there will be an extra bloody footprint on the ground.

The other side.

In a huge, lavish room, Lafayette smiled at Rowell, who was wailing in front of him.

On the ground lay a bloody palm, and next to it was a fine flintlock pistol that had been cut in half.

"Ben, this king is ......"

"Snort."

"Woo ......"

Lafayette stabbed his sword into Lowell's open mouth as he spoke, and then picked out a piece of his tongue.

Lowell's half-spoken words suddenly turned into meaningless whines.

"What is it?"

Lafayette backhanded his sword and pinned his tongue to the ground, revealing a bit of bewilderment on his face.

Rowell fell to the ground with fear on his face, not daring to make any more sound.

"Ho-ho."

Lafayette smiled, put away his sword, and dragged Rowell out of the room.

A few minutes later, he dragged Lowell to the lobby in the cabin.

The ship is flashy in many places, and the interior structure is built in the style of a castle.

Around the hall, there were about one hundred and twenty slaves standing around.

Most of them are poorly clothed, and can only wear curtains or tablecloths as clothes.

Maud was also in the lobby, and on the ground in front of him lay a bulging cloth bag containing gold and silver jewels that had been looted all the way.

Lafayette dragged Rowell to Maude.

"This is the king of Cannett, and the main one who went to the World Conference."

With a flick of his hand, Lafayette threw Rowell in front of Maude.

"Woo ......"

Lowell looked up at Maude, his eyes full of fear, his mouth full of blood splattered with a whining sound.

Maud glanced at Lowell, then looked at Lafayette, and said, "Just kill him directly, you don't need to bring him over." ”

Hearing Maude's words, Rowell's body trembled.

Lafayette laughed, "Ho, just came up with a fun idea." ”

"Tell me about it."

Maud looked at Lafayette, thinking to himself that Lafayette was rarely so interested.

Lafayette glanced at the circle of slaves and said calmly, "Give them an opportunity to vent their violence, you say, will they cherish it?" ”

In the words, they naturally refer to the slaves around them.

Maude looked at Lafayette with a hint of surprise.

After spending a long time together, he forgot that Lafayette was known for his excessive violence.

"Just try it."

Maud was not interested, but he would not stop Lafayette.

Lafayette smiled, pulled out a handful of gold and silver jewelry from the bag, and threw it to the ground.

The small and delicate gold and silver jewelry was scattered all over the place.

The soft sound of landing was like a light punch falling on the hearts of many slaves.

Lafayette held her cane, the end of which was pressed against Lowell's neck, a dangerous smile on her pale face.

"This is Lowell, King of South de Canette, and if any of you can beat him to death, he'll get these lovely little things."

“……”

There was silence in the field.

The slaves looked at each other, but no one dared to take a step forward.

That's the lord of a country, if it's discovered afterwards......

The slaves couldn't even think about it.

A few minutes passed, and there was no movement.

Lafayette calmly looked at the slaves who did not move.

That's it.

Lafayette thought to herself.

At this moment, a dull footstep came from behind the crowd, but it was Jim from the kitchen.

The first thing he did when he regained his freedom was not to deal with his injuries, but to eat and drink in the kitchen.

Because of this, he appeared at this point in time.

Hearing the footsteps, the slaves looked back at Jim, who was one of their upper bodies taller than them.

As their faces changed, they subconsciously gave way to a way.

Jim grimaced as he walked through the way the slaves let out.

He had a mouth full of grease stains and a half-nibbled roast suckling pig in his hand.

As he walked away, he opened his mouth to take a bite of the meat, only to chew it twice and swallow it directly.

Jim was tall and strong, standing out among the slaves.

In this height comparison, Maud and Lafayette immediately noticed Jim.

Maude didn't react, and Lafayette looked at Jim seriously.

The wounds on his body were much more conspicuous than his strong body.

Under the gaze of many eyes, Jim came up to Rowell.

Without the slightest hesitation, he lifted his right foot, which was still dripping blood, and stomped directly on Rowell's neck.

Click——!

Rowell's neck was directly stepped on, and he was lifeless in an instant.

Jim retracted his foot and took another big bite of the roast suckling pig.

At least half of these wounds on his body were contributed by Lowell.

For Rowell, there is an indissoluble hatred.

Under this premise, although he got this opportunity, he didn't think about torturing Rowell to death, but solved it neatly, and did not show the slightest hatred.

Achieving the desired result in the fastest way is a principle that he always keeps in mind.

After trampling Lowell to death, Jim suddenly fell to his knees at Maude.

The point of making this move was just to let the eyes fall so that Maud would not look up to him.

"I don't want gold or silver."

After half-kneeling, there was less height difference, and Jim had to tilt his head to meet Maude's eyes.

Maude raised her eyebrows, looked at Jim with interest who had shaved his hair, and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

Jim didn't answer immediately, but raised his oil-stained left hand.

Hiss——!

He tore off the slave-branded skin from his forehead.

Blood suddenly flowed sideways from the wound and slid down the bridge of his nose to his chin.

After doing this, Jim said in a deep voice, "I don't want anything, I just want to give you this life." ”

Maud calmly looked at the glaring wound on Jim's forehead, suddenly lifted the cloth bag containing the trophy, and threw it in front of Jim.

"I don't need your life, but you can follow us."

With that, Maude turned and walked towards the exit.

"Ho-ho."

Lafayette glanced at Jim in surprise, and quickly followed Maude's footsteps.

Without saying a word, Jim threw away the roast suckling pig in his hand, then lifted the cloth bag and followed.

Under the watchful eyes of the many slaves, the Maud trio left the cabin.

Arriving on the deck, Jim glanced at the corpses of the soldiers all over the ground, his eyes still dead silent, and he rarely showed emotion.

"Back to the ship."

Maud stepped on the moon and lifted into the air.

Lafayette flew into the air with Jim in his hand.

Far away.

The mast ship was parked on the sea.

Bailey stood on the lookout and kept looking.

Just in case, he had put the sails away and dropped the anchor.

"Why haven't you come back?"

Bailey muttered under his breath.

This is the thirty-third time he has said it.

After looking around for a while, he finally saw Maude's figure in the distant sky.

"It's back!!"

Bailey was slightly relieved.

"Huh?"

Soon, he noticed Jim's presence.

A few minutes later.

Jim sat cross-legged on the deck, dealing with his injuries on his own.

The size of this mast merchant ship is not large, but it basically has everything it should have, such as medical supplies.

This is convenient for Jim.

It was still early, but Maud went back to her room and slept with her head covered.

Lafayette wanted to take stock of his gains, but he was a navigator and had to keep an eye on the course, so he gave up.

On the deck, Bailey walked around Jim, his eyes scanning Jim's wounds.

That's too much, right?

Seems to be a ruthless person.

Bailey thought to himself.

Jim looked at Bailey, who seemed to be active, and ignored it, instead concentrating on the injury.

He gave his life to Maude, but he didn't come to eat and drink.

In order to be worthy, he must recover from his injuries as soon as possible.

Lafayette kept an eye on the wind, occasionally glancing at Jim, who was dealing with his injuries.

In his opinion, Jim's foundation is not bad, but he doesn't know what his strength is.

As a navigator, Lafayette was already figuring out how to use Jim's workforce.

Based on the current understanding, it seems that the only suitable position is the helmsman.

"We'll see."

Lafayette thought silently.

Whether it's Jim's abilities, but also Jim's loyalty and values.

These are the things that Lafayette will focus on in the future.

He will not oppose Maud's decision, but he will try to help Maude sweep away his worries.

...........

Seven days later.

An unremarkable merchant ship came to the offshore zone of Monmon Island.

The merchant ship retracted its sails and anchored on the sea.

After a few moments, the merchant ship lowered a small boat.

"This is Monmeng Island."

On the boat, Saab smiled.

Kra threw the oar to Sabo and instructed, "Hurry up and row!" ”

"Yes, Mistress Kerra."

Sabo joked and picked up the oar and rowed.

The boat slowly sailed towards the beach.

After a while, the boat washed up on the beach.

Sabo and Kerra jumped out of the boat and headed for the woods.

Soon, they walked through the woods and came to the valley where the inhabitants of Monmont Island were.

Their arrival immediately aroused the vigilance of the residents of Mongmeng Island.

Jaya heard movement outside, picked up an axe, and walked out of the house.

I thought it was a pirate with no eyes, but I didn't expect it to be a young man and woman.

Jaya squinted at Sabo and Kella, and said calmly, "Both, outsiders are not welcome here. ”

Sabo glanced at the axe in Jaya's hand and was about to explain when he heard Sunny's voice.

"Sister Ya, they're here to find me."

Sunny also came out of the house.

"Sabo, Kerra!"

Looking at the two of them who hadn't seen each other in a while, Sunny smiled widely.

Seeing this, Jaya silently put away the axe.

"Sonny, I miss you so much!"

Kerra crossed over Jaya and hugged Sunny tightly.

Feeling the soft touch of Korra's squeezing on her body, Sunny muttered under her breath, "It seems to have gotten a lot bigger." ”

"What?"

Korra let go of Sunny in surprise.

"Nothing."

Sunny glanced at Kerra without a trace, and then the ghost swept over Jayana's superior presence.

Alas.

With a sigh in her heart, Sunny turned to ask about Sabo and Kerra as they meant.

"Kerra, how did you come here?"

"You take a look at this first."

Kerra pulled out a folded newspaper from her pocket.

Sunny took the newspaper and glanced at the date habitually.

It's yesterday's newspaper.

Mong Meng Island is in the middle of nowhere, and the newspaper gulls only come once a week, so each time I receive a newspaper a few days ago.

Sunny spread out the newspaper and read it.

"It's Maude."

When she saw the photo on one of the sections, Sonny's eyes lit up.

Sabo came to the side and said with a smile: "Maud has been active during this time, thanks to him, we ...... this time"

"Ahem."

Kerra feigned coughing and reminded Sabo at the right time.

Sabo stopped talking and smiled instead.

During the World Conference, the kings of the Confederate countries leave the country for the Holy Land of Mary Joy.

In this way, the revolutionary army was given a lot of opportunities to act.

Recently, Maude's attack on King Canette's ship and the killing of King Canette and many other nobles spread throughout the East China Sea in just a few days.

Affected by this incident, there was a lot of turmoil in the Kingdom of Canet.

Sabo and Kerra did not come to the East China Sea to target the Kingdom of Canette, but they happened to encounter the royal ship incident built by Maude......

So, they didn't want to miss this opportunity.

I came to Monmont Island on purpose, in fact, I also wanted to officially invite Sunny to join.

Sunny didn't bother with Sabo's reaction, and carefully read the newspaper report about Maude.

The extermination of the Dragon Pirates and the attack on King Cannet's ship are among them.

A smile welled up in Sunny Nymph's eyes as she saw Maud attack King Canette's ship and set many of its slaves free.

"Sister Ya, look...... Maude's bounty went up. ”

"Huh."

Jia Ya smiled slightly, but she didn't care.

Still, she took the newspaper and read it.

Of course, the focus is not on Maude's bounty, but on what is in the report.

After reading the report about the Evil Dragon Pirates, Jaya's eyes slowly opened.

Immediately afterward, she looked at the report of the royal ship incident.

After reading it, she couldn't help but be silent.

Is this a bad thing or a good thing?

She was a little dazed.
