Maude did not expect that the mermaid girl in front of him, who was somewhat destined to him, would actually make such a request to him under such circumstances.
It's like... the drowning man finally found a straw.
Regardless of whether this straw will respond to her, anyway, when she sees it, she will grab it at all costs.
Maud couldn't help but remain silent.
His silence made Lafayette's eyes look strange.
Compared to turning around and going to Fish-Man Island, the more important thing to do next is undoubtedly to go to Dressrosa and kill the remnants of the Don Quixote family.
Therefore, in Lafayette's view, Maud's response to this unreasonable request should be to refuse directly, rather than remain silent.
This surprised Lafayette.
at this time.
Tears welled up in the mermaid girl's eyes, and she looked at the man in front of her with hope.
Maude lowered her eyelids, pinched her chin, and thought silently.
After the end of the Dingding War, the development of many events basically broke away from the trajectory of the original work.
Like Fire Fist Ace survived.
Blackbeard did not get the Shock Fruit, and the pirate group had more than half of its minions removed.
Admiral Sengoku did not abdicate, and the generals were still the same three generals.
Jinbei, who was deprived of his position as a Shichibukai, was still imprisoned in Impel Down Castle.
Without Jinbei's intervention, Fish-Man Island is in dire straits.
Many, many things have become different.
Even Mod, as a time traveler, has now lost control of the future plot.
However, he still has an advantage over everyone in the world, and that is that he knows some important secrets that are unknown to others.
for example…
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 immediately.
He's weighing the pros and cons.
Maybe now is an opportunity to win the favor of the royal family of Fish-Man Island and even Princess Shirahoshi.
Although it is not necessary to hold the ancient weapon Poseidon in his hands, as long as he has a good relationship with Princess Shirahoshi, it will at least be a beneficial thing.
At the moment, Fish-Man Island is suffering a lot and is in urgent need of help from others.
In the cell, the other mermaid girl who was pretending to be dead, and the fishman next door who was covered in bruises and slightly opened his eyes, all pricked up their ears.
"Is it Fishman Island..."
Maude raised her eyelids and said calmly: "I haven't been there yet, but I can go and appreciate the scenery."
"Is this considered a promise?"
The mermaid girl opened her eyes wide and looked excitedly at Maud, who had a plain face.
"Whatever you think."
Maude turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence: "Lafayette, help these people unchain themselves and stay as they please."
"Including the mermaid next door?"
"right."
"Hoho, I understand."
Under the surprised gazes of all the slaves, Maude strode out of the cabin.
He never thought of giving up the supplies and property on these three pirate ships.
But you have to spend some time searching for it, so naturally you don’t have the time to waste time here.
At the end of the cabin, there was another mermaid girl in the cell, as well as a fishman covered in injuries. They all looked at Mod's leaving back with disbelief.
Only the red-haired mermaid girl covered her mouth, crying silently in frustration and excitement.
Lafayette watched Maud leave, and then helped unchain the slaves one by one.
After doing this, he didn't care whether the fish and humans in the cabin could get along peacefully or not, he just left the cabin without looking back, preparing to help Maud collect the loot.
With the departure of Maud and Lafayette.
The human slaves imprisoned here all carefully walked out of their cells.
They looked at the mermaid girl and the male murloc with a slightly complicated look, then supported each other and slowly walked towards the exit.
Not a moment.
All human slaves left the cabin.
"Luna, that human just now... was Bacardi Mod, right? Isn't he a pirate? Why did he let us go so simply? Are there good humans? Will he help Fishman Island?"
In the cell at the end, another mermaid girl with long azure hair, after getting rid of the state of pretending to be dead, stood up and looked at her compatriots beside her, asking questions one after another like a string of questions.
"I don't know either, Windsor..."
Luna raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and silently looked in the direction of the exit.
Windsor opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after seeing Luna's expression, she silently stopped talking.
Bang.
A tall and sturdy figure stood across the door of the cell, but it was the bruised fishman next door.
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 looked at each other after hearing this, and then nodded towards the fishman at the door.
"Walk."
The fishman endured the constant pain from the wound and took the lead towards the exit.
Luna and Windsor followed the fishman.
They left the cabin one after another, went up the stairs, and came to a wooden corridor leading to the deck.
The leading fishman suddenly stopped.
Luna and Windsor, who were following closely behind him, almost bumped into him.
"Why did you stop so suddenly?"
Facing Windsor's question, the fishman did not answer, but looked fiercely at the three men standing in the corridor in front.
From the faces of these three men, the fishman saw unabashed greed, and he could clearly feel the malice coming from these three men.
"This is the true face of human beings..."
The fishman's eyes instantly became more fierce, and he opened his mouth to reveal a set of fangs that represented racial characteristics.
Luna and Windsor also saw the three male humans in front of the corridor who did not hide their malicious greed.
It was obvious that a few minutes ago, they were slaves who were imprisoned in the same cell as them.
Now, a few minutes later, he has changed from the slave position to the slave catching team position without any psychological burden.
The three men blocked here don't care what the prey is thinking.
In their eyes, Luna and Windsor were just a lot of money.
"Although I don't know why the big pirate is not interested in you, your worth is very high. As long as I sell you, hehe..."
"A mermaid can be sold for at least 50 million beli, and these two girls are so beautiful, they may be sold for tens of millions more,"
"Ah, this is more than 100 million, we are rich!"
The three men with greedy faces seemed to have seen the beautiful life in the future, and their breathing suddenly became heavy.
Fear appeared in Luna and Windsor's eyes, and they subconsciously took two steps back.
The fishman grinned his fangs and strode towards the three men.
Seeing the fishmen approaching, one of the men raised an ordinary long knife temporarily found from the boat and sneered:
"You're so injured that you don't want to run away, but you want to be a hero? It's just like the rumors, the mermaid's brain is full of muscles..."
"Stop talking nonsense and kill him quickly. Who knows if the big pirate will come back!"
"snort."
The man holding the knife snorted coldly, took a few steps forward, and faced the fish-man.
"Only one human being has a cold weapon..."
The fishman stared 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 to kill the three opponents.
The fishman kicked his feet, endured the severe pain caused by the wound, and suddenly accelerated towards the man holding the knife in the front.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly retreated, and the other two men, who were originally unarmed, each took out a hastily found hand crossbow from behind.
"!!!"
The fishman was startled, and his speed of pounced forward was not affected at all.
The two men did not hesitate to pull the trigger of the hand crossbow at the fishman.
Boom boom
In the corridor, there was a subtle sound of bowstrings.
Two venom-quenched 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.
Therefore, the fishman didn't even think about hiding. When he charged, he guarded his face with one hand and his chest with the other hand.
Poof!
The two crossbow arrows were nailed to the fishman's arm in front of his face.
The fishman grunted and slowed down his attack.
When the man with the knife saw this, he saw the right opportunity, dragged his hungry and exhausted body, and used all his strength to slash the fishman with the knife.
laugh!
Blood splattered.
The fishman's body was shaken, but he did not fall down. Instead, he gritted his teeth and endured the injury, and suddenly stretched out the arm that was hit by the arrow.
Under the horrified gaze of the knife-wielding man, the webbed palm clamped hard on the knife-wielding man's neck, and then squeezed hard.
Click!
The man holding the knife fell to the ground.
After killing one person, the fishman turned towards the other two men who were hurriedly loading arrows.
Click, click...
In just a few clicks, the life of these two people was broken.
After killing these three humans with serious injuries, the fishman staggered against the wall, slowly slid down, and sat on the floor.
"Altaïr!!"
Luna and Windsor were shocked and came to Altaïr's side.
"Are you okay? Altaïr..."
They looked worriedly at Altaïr, whose breathing became increasingly weak.
Altaïr lowered his head and glanced at the two crossbow arrows on his arms. The obvious changes in his body functions made him realize that the arrows might be coated with some unknown toxin, coupled with the tragic injuries all over his body.
This means that he is basically hopeless.
"You...don't worry about me...hurry up...go...to the sea..."
