Although they belong to the same race, there is a clear difference between merfolk and mermaids, especially in appearance, if you want to explain it simply...... A mermaid is not necessarily cute, but it must be a mermaid.

The lower body has a fishtail, the upper body is concave and plump, the facial features are delicate and exquisite, the arms are tender, and the fingertips are slender...... and so on, those who can use this kind of adjective are all mermaids.

Or more precisely, a female mermaid.

As for the fish-men, they generally grow up to be fierce and vicious, strange and strange, and the typical representative is the Sun Pirates who are now running around the world, and the more handsome people are called "Sea Heroes" Jinping, and the fishmen who are more handsome than Jinping...... The quantity is zero.

Unlike the fish-people who are full of action, the pleasing mermaids generally only stay on the fish-man island 10,000 meters underwater, and they are basically invisible on the sea, so the difficulty of catching the mermaid is quite high, and it is an extremely rare treasure.

It is for this reason that the price of mermaids for human traffickers is simply insane...... Regardless of whether it is light or dark, at any auction, the starting price of female mermaids is more than 70 million, and the average transaction price is between 150 million and 200 million.

So these 11 in front of Qiubai ...... The value of the mermaid is more than 1 billion, and there is no problem at all.

Because the population is sparse and collectively discriminated against by humans...... More than 100 years ago, according to the division of the world government, the mermaids and mermaids belonged to the same "fish", so they were a fairly united race, and the vast majority of them, even if they were outright "villains" for human beings, cherished their compatriots very much.

So what method did the traffickers use to catch a large number of mermaids...... Qiu Bai really couldn't even think of it, and it was impossible for the other party to tell him this kind of thing.

Could it be that the mermaids were deceived by the black tour group? Is this possible?

But it's nothing more than "people die for money", and it is conceivable that once their behavior is discovered, it will definitely be torn to pieces by the fish.

Fish-people are 10 times more physically fit than humans, and in the deep sea, humans are simply vulnerable to fish-people - even the most awesome people can't breathe in the sea, but fish-people can, so it's as easy for them to take out humans deep in Fish-Man Island as it is to breathe.

However, why this group of human traffickers did not "ship" by themselves and packed the mermaid to Doflamingo, Qiubai could figure it out.

Although the auction of mermaids is hugely profitable, not everyone can do it, and if you describe it in market language, this is probably called a channel where production can't be done.

Well, channels are king.

If you go out comfortably, humans (mermaids) are actually quite unoccupied, and how much can be crammed into a small space, I really can't say if I haven't seen it. Qiubai pretended to inspect the mermaids in the cage, and after he said that he was okay, the traffickers' boats ran away.

"Stupid pirates, don't you know that abducting and trafficking in women and children is not a good death?" Looking at the distant shadow of the ship, Qiu Bai spat into the sea with disdain and viciousness.

He had forgotten that he had done this not long ago, so he was within the scope of the curse.

But it's nothing, everyone who goes to sea in this era is actually prepared to die well, even Qiubai, who has the courage to die.

After scolding and observing that the other party had completely left here, Qiu Bai turned his head, and then he was about to reach out to the cage, and his movements were completely in line with the technical specifications of senior and high-level hooligans.

Outcome...... His wrist was unsurprisingly held down by Ain.

"Ahem, curious, just curious."

This pale explanation only makes people more contemptuous of him, but in fact...... Well, Qiubai is indeed purely curious, he has never seen a mermaid such a mysterious creature, so from the perspective of physiology and biology, he wants to feel what is the difference between the scales of the mermaid and the scales of the fish, is it also so sticky and intimate?

This is similar to someone wondering how the mermaid is big, and it is purely an academic exchange.

But this is equivalent to touching someone's girl's thigh when you come up...... Just kidding, have you negotiated the price?

In short, Qiubai's movements made the mermaids who had never dared to speak panic, and they kept shrinking back in the narrow cage...... Only at this time can you feel that they are really alive.

Judging by Qiu Bai's eyes, these mermaids are between 14 and 24 years old, and what happened to them can be called tragic.

And in their own eyes, what happened after that must have been even more tragic.

However, one of them was very unusual, she looked a little older, and although she was also retreating, she insisted on keeping all her people behind...... It can be seen that she is not afraid, but she still chooses to do so.

"Oh, Miss Mermaid, what's your name?" Someone is willing to take on something, which is good, Qiubai immediately asked her name.

“…… Lily, I—My name is Lily. "She has a great voice...... Originally, the mermaid is not famous for its beauty, but for its seductive singing.

"Then Miss Lily, you ...... Know the Sun Pirates? "Meeting the mermaid is the dream of a large number of men, even if he is neither a gentleman nor a gentleman reserve, but now is not the kind of time to joke, so after thinking about it, Qiubai decided to be more simple.

The mermaid named Lily shook her head, she didn't know why Qiubai asked that, but she really didn't know about the Sun Pirates either...... By the time they were caught, Fisher Tiger had probably not managed to climb the wall.

Qiubai reached back, took the newspaper and map that Ain handed over, and unfolded them separately, and the newspaper had a picture of a fishman.

"Fisher Tiger and Jinping of Fish-Man Street, you should know, right? The Sun Pirates are the pirates of your compatriots, and based on these news, they should now operate between the west of the Seven Waters City and the Food Island, and then you have to find a place to hide, and then find a way to pass on the message to Tiger and them, and then I believe that your compatriots will definitely come to save you. ”

Qiubai said, pointing to some places on the map.

There are a total of 5 routes in the first half of the Great Route, and Autumn White is now in the middle of the route, and the Food Island is on the leftmost route near the windless zone.

Although the distance does not seem to be so far that it is not spectra, the problem is that because of the magnetic field, the general route is selected at the entrance of the great route, and it cannot be changed halfway after that.

As for the capital of the seven waters, there is something special about it, one is that the shipping routes from that island are newly merged, and the other is that it is the starting station of sea trains, and in the future, it will become a transit station connecting the islands on different routes...... The sea train is almost complete, and at this time the "Smoking Tom" is probably in the final stage of preparation.

But that's not going to be a problem for the Sun Pirates, who definitely have the ability to cross the route, in fact, even if the ship is wrecked, they can swim by swimming with fish alone.

As for the way the message is delivered...... There's nothing wrong with that, merfolk or fish-people basically have the ability to control fish from a distance.

So although the sea area is vast, if you use the fish to cast a net to search, you can always find the Sun Pirates, and the ability of humans and mermaids on the ocean is several grades different, and from this point of view, the degree of evolution of the fish-people is indeed higher than that of humans.

"Remember, you must hide, and if you don't want to be caught again, you must not try to run around on your own, and do not trust anyone, you should know this, and if you go back to Fish-Man Island...... It's best not to try it yourself, and try to reach out to your fellow citizens. ”

"W-What do you mean, your words?" Of course Lily could understand what Qiubai was saying, but she couldn't believe it.

Peak loop turn? Will there be such a good thing?

"yes...... What does that mean? Qiu Bai repeated the question, and then without warning, he slashed open the cage.

The merfolk screamed.

"Well, have you ever heard of a famous saying called 'Write mermaids, read as benevolence...... At the end of the day, I'm a good person. Qiubai tried to regain himself in human nature.

"But after that, will you get a disease called Stockholm syndrome? A little bit concerned. ”

But then he exposed himself again.

This is ...... How to explain to Doflamingo is the problem, he will never smile and say that a billion flies and flies.
