During this time, Maude and his party were located high in the sky, as if isolated from the world.

Although he did not have any information on current affairs, he could basically conclude that the world government would inevitably conceal the death of the two Draconians.

Unexpectedly, the news still spread, and even the children on a merchant ship knew about it.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal."

Maud didn't think much of it, and slowly withdrew her gaze from the child.

When he was on Thunder God Island, the attitude he conveyed to the yellow ape was very obvious.

As long as you don't provoke him, then he won't take the initiative to do something out of the ordinary.

Moreover, he held the life switch of the three Celestial Dragons in his hands.

If the World Government and the Navy are not interested, then he doesn't mind killing three more Draconians, and then he usually goes to the Holy Land Mary Joya to take a walk around and kill the Draconians or something.

As for the risks......

Even if you use the shadow of an arm to do an ultra-long-distance transfer of the shadow marker, it doesn't hurt.

Under the mast.

Alice and the other pirates looked at Maude standing on the mast, as if he had a stomach attack, his face was bloodless, and cold sweat was pouring out.

Get moving, my body......!!!

Shoot? Slash?

Whatever it is.

Let's do something......

Even if it's just a pull of the trigger!

At least have the courage to face that man!

No matter how bad it is, let your tongue move, even if it's begging for mercy......

Hurry up and do something!

Tick Tick –

Beads of sweat ran down Allist's cheeks, slid down to his chin, and then fell on the deck, splashing with water trails.

In front of this aura that even the air seemed to tremble slightly, Allist's body, and even his mind, were in an extremely stiff state.

Exhilarations from seconds ago, excitement from seconds ago.

At this moment, it has been replaced by indescribable fear.

On the other hand, the reaction of the other pirates on the deck was not much better.

The civilians who had been driven to one position were still trembling, their faces full of fear and despair.

The arrival of the notorious Maude Pirates, for them, is nothing more than replacing the jackals that are ready to eat them with more ferocious and terrifying prehistoric monsters.

The result and the end are still predestined.

It will be even more miserable.

The civilians buried their heads deep and covered their mouths with their hands, for fear that the whimpering sound would come out of their fingers and attract the attention of the pirates.

On the deck, it suddenly became very quiet.

There was uneasiness in the air.

However, a few seconds seemed to have passed in the senses of Alice and the pirates.

has a strong will to survive, and has been pushing Allist to do something.

And then

Alice sensibly gave up the stupid idea of making a move on Maude, and looked at Maude standing on the mast with trembling eyes.

He thought that as long as he lowered his posture and let Maud receive all the spoils of this trip, and begged for mercy, he might be able to get a chance of life.

"Mo, Lord Maude, all the things on this ship ......"

"Shut up."

Maude flashed to Allist's side in an instant, his right arm was across Allist's neck, and his right hand was gently patted on Allist's shoulder, and the dark shadow wave spread out from under his palm.

Allist's body stiffened, and his pupils shrank sharply.

Poof——!

Several shadow thorns, without warning, pierced Allist's chest, carrying a large amount of blood.

"Huh?"

Alice looked down, stunned as he watched the shadow spike coming out of his chest.

He didn't even know how the shadow thorns came out of his chest.

With deep confusion and doubt, Alice fell to the ground and lost his life in an instant.

"Captain Ai, Allist......!"

"How can this be, Captain Alice is obviously a sea thief with a reward of up to 92 million, and he ...... in one face"

The surrounding pirates looked at Alice who fell to the ground as if they had lost their souls.

Even the captain who was offered a bounty of 92 million was killed by Maude as if he were understated, so what could they do?

At this moment, the pirates experienced first-hand the despair and fear of the civilians who had trembled under their swords.

"Lafayette, Jim, Brooke, none of them."

Maud coldly pronounced the pirates to death, and immediately walked past Alex's corpse towards the huddled civilians.

Behind him, Lafayette, Jim, and Brooke, who had received the order, descended from the mast to the deck and launched a one-sided slaughter of the pirates under Allist's command.

All of a sudden, terrible and desperate screams rang out from the deck.

Maud turned a deaf ear, came to the civilians, and whispered, "You. ”

Hearing Maude's approach, the civilians trembled even more.

"Who's got a newspaper with them?"

“……”

The civilians froze.

It was also at this time that they clearly felt the difference between Maude and Allist.

If Alice were standing in front of them, the ferocious momentum that regarded life as a mustard would give them the feeling that Alice might be killed in the next second.

But Maud is different.

Obviously standing in front of them only one step away, but it didn't make them feel dangerous at all, and even felt that they were a harmless passerby.

"I have ......"

A young man dressed as a boatman mustered up the courage to get up, clutching a sweat-soaked newspaper in his hand.

Maud nodded at the young man.

The young man took a deep breath and walked through the crowd, trembling his body, and handed the newspaper to Maude.

"Thank you."

Maud took the newspaper.

The boatman was stunned, thinking that he was having auditory hallucinations.

It's just a newspaper, and the world-famous sea thief actually thanked him?

Maud didn't care about the young boatman's reaction, and first glanced at the date in the newspaper.

"Yesterday's ......"

Whispering to herself, Maude spread out the newspaper and read it.

Even though the screams of the pirates rang in his ears, it didn't affect him from reading the newspaper.

While Maud was checking the newspaper, except for the young boatman who couldn't recover for a long time, the civilians huddled on the ground.

Only then would he have the courage to look at the man in front of him who had slaughtered all sides in the top war, broken into the Holy Land of Mary Joya, and even killed two Celestial Dragons.

"With the imaginary ...... Completely different......"

The civilians thought silently.

Maude quickly finished reading the newspaper.

Although half a month has passed since the incident on Thunder God Island, there are still several photos of the scene published in the newspaper pages.

Among these photos, there is even a photo of him splitting the yellow ape into a ray of light with a knife, but it is not very clear.

From the perspective of shooting, it should have been taken secretly from a long distance at that time.

"In this way, there should have been outsiders present at the time."

"No wonder the world government failed to suppress this matter, and now that it has lost face, maybe it will lose its mind."

The corners of Maude's mouth hooked slightly, and she slowly closed the newspaper.

As soon as he finished reading the newspaper, Lafayette and the others swept away the other pirates and came behind Maud.

"Do you want to see it?"

Maude raised the newspaper at Lafayette.

"Ho Ho ......"

Lafayette didn't say a word, and took the newspaper directly.

Maud smiled, then looked at the civilians.

"Don't worry, we won't stay long, besides, we're going to take half of the supplies on the ship, okay?"

“……”

The crowd fell silent.

And the owner of the merchant ship has already died under the knife of the pirates, even if he is still alive, how dare he have an opinion.

Seeing that no one spoke, Maud was not polite, and instructed Jim to carry the supplies of the merchant ship.

Jim immediately stepped into the cabin and moved half of the boxes and barrels that the pirates had moved to the deck one by one.

Maud turned her head to look at the pirate ship moored to the side of the merchant ship, and a red light flashed in her eyes.

Under the perception of seeing and hearing, there are still nearly a hundred breaths on the three pirate ships, some strong and some weak.

"Brooke, you go to the pirate ship and dispose of the remaining pirates."

"Yo ho, I thought these pirates were pouring out of the nest."

Brooke said, not hesitating to go to one of the pirate ships next to him.

It just so happened that Lafayette had also finished reading the newspaper, and at Maud's behest, went to another pirate ship, ready to sweep the tail clean.

A few minutes later.

Jim moved the supplies to the deck.

According to his calculations, including gold, silver, jewelry, and goods, no more, no less, exactly half of them were moved out.

A moment later.

Lafayette and Brooke came to the merchant ship one after another.

"Ho, there's only a few trash fish, and we've got something interesting at the bottom of the cabin."

"Slaves?"

Maude guessed.

I used it casually just now, and what I perceived was a jagged aura.

And there are several locations, which are crowded together by more than a dozen breaths, so it can basically be judged that they are imprisoned slaves.

"Yes, but among the slaves found, there were two merfolk and a merman."

Lafayette smiled and nodded.

"Oh? Two merfolks? ”

Maud was a little surprised, and simply ignored the existence of the fish-people.

In the slave market, mermaids have always been priceless existences, but I didn't expect such a weak pirate group to catch two fishmen?

"Do you want to check it out?"

Lafayette asked.

"Hmm."

Maud nodded.

"Brooke, Jim, you stay here."

"Yes."

"Okay, yo ho ho ......"

Later, led by Lafayette, Maud came to the cabin at the bottom of one of the pirate ships.

The cells, made of wooden posts, were lined up along the wooden bulkheads of the cabins.

In the cell, a group of young people huddled in the corner, covered in dirt.

Poor breathability fills the air with an unpleasant smell.

Following the mottled and old wooden floor, visible cracks, Maud and Lafayette reached the end of their cells.

In the last cell at the end, there were two young mermaid girls lying on the ground, in good spirits.

Around their necks, each handcuffed to their signature slave collars, attached to a chain nailed to the wall.

On the ground, large traces of water can be faintly seen.

Apparently because of the limited conditions of detention, the pirates would regularly pour seawater on the mermaid girl.

In the next cell, there is a fish-man who is scarred all over his body.

The injuries were so tragic that Maude couldn't even tell what kind of fish man this fish man was for a while.

Maude didn't pay too much attention to the fish-men, but looked at the two mermaid girls in the cell with their backs to the bars, as if they had lost their lustre.

His gaze could not help but linger on the red hair of one of the mermaid girls.

There is a slight impression that I can't think of the corresponding memory.

It seems to have heard a slight movement, or sensed Maude's gaze.

The mermaid girl with red hair slowly turned her head, and her dull red eyes looked at Maude outside the wooden pillar bar.

Just a glance.

The mermaid girl's eyes burst out with bright light.

"It's ...... you"

The slightly hoarse voice was full of indescribable excitement.

Looking at the mermaid girl's reaction, Maude frowned slightly and asked calmly, "Do you know me?" ”

Maude's words made the excitement on the mermaid girl's face froze.

She has deeply imprinted Maude's appearance and posture in her heart, but the other party has forgotten her.

At this thought, a bitter color flashed in the depths of the mermaid girl's eyes.

"Chambord Islands, auction house, you saved me......"

She swallowed her frustration and whispered a reminder.

"Oh, I remember."

The mermaid girl's reminder reminded Maude of the other party's origin in an instant.

It turned out that she was a mermaid slave who was rescued casually in the Chambord Islands, and I remember that she was handed over to Jinping after that.

"Why did you get caught again?"

"Soon after the end of the war, a steady stream of pirates attacked Fish-Man Island, and I ......"

The mermaid girl turned her body with difficulty, facing Maude outside the prison, as if because she recalled the scene at that time, and a look of horror slowly appeared on her delicate face.

"Needless to say, I see."

Maud interrupted the mermaiden's narration with a loud voice.

He probably guessed what was going on.

Because he killed Whitebeard in the Overhead War, the banner of the Whitebeard Pirates lost their deterrent power and could no longer provide shelter for Fish-Man Island.

And the countless pirates who saw the timing naturally set their sights on the young mermaid with the most trading value on Fish-Man Island.

Coupled with the fact that Jinping is still imprisoned in the city, Fish-Man Island lacks a figure who can step forward to change the situation.

Just thinking about it deeply, Maude can imagine what kind of ordeal Fish-Man Island is going through after the end of the top.

After all, it has something to do with him.

Maud shook her head slightly, broke the bar with her bare hands, and walked into the cell.

The red-haired mermaid girl tilted her head slightly, looking at the man who gradually came to her with an admiring gaze.

This figure, which she had been thinking about day and night, came to her in the same way.

This must be the guidance of fate......

Maud half-crouched down, the hem of her black garment falling on the dirty floor, stained with water and dust.

Seeing this, the red-haired mermaid girl slowly stretched out her hand and scooped up the hem of her clothes that had fallen to the ground, but then thought that her hand was no cleaner than the floor in the cell, so she timidly withdrew her hand.

Maud noticed the mermaid girl's small movements, was silent for a moment, and reached out to untie the mermaid girl's neck, which was not equipped with explosives, with her bare hands.

"Now, you're free."

"Maud ......"

Seeing Maude once again help her untie the collar that imprisoned her freedom, the mermaid girl's eyes suddenly filled with tears, suppressed her whimper, and prayed:

"I know I shouldn't have to make an inch, but, but...... Maude, can you help Fish-Man Island......"
