Maud was inspired.
“…”
Upon hearing this, Neptune looked at Maud with a complicated expression.
If you just accept what Mod said, it would be equivalent to denying Otohime's philosophy.
But from what he saw and heard during this period, not only him, but also the vast majority of the people in the country were completely disappointed in humanity.
If they had the power to resist, why would they do this
Neptune quietly clenched his fists.
After Luo and Philo's joint treatment, the three prince brothers quickly saved their lives.
But the treatment didn't end there.
Under the guidance of Mod, Luo and Philo began to treat the seriously injured but not dead soldiers in Dragon Palace City.
This scene was all seen by Neptune.
Who caused the disaster, and who should be blamed...
Such a thing makes no sense at all.
The most important thing is that Fishman Island survived this disaster.
After handing over the treatment of Dragon Palace City to Luo and Philo, Mod left Dragon Palace City and returned to the square.
"All the pirates on the island should have escaped, right?"
Mod glanced at the pirate corpses on the ground, and then looked in the direction of Coral Hill Harbor Town.
Through the live broadcast, the scene of him unilaterally massacring tens of thousands of pirates and the tragic defeat of General Smoothie should have spread throughout the entire Fish-Man Island.
If this didn't scare away the remaining pirates, then he would admit it, and he wouldn't mind spending a little more effort to wipe out the last tail.
"Captain, this is the phone bug found on Smoothie's body. Do you want to destroy it?"
Lafayette came to Maud's side.
In his hand, he held a phone bug with the BIG. MOM logo printed on it.
"Stay, if the phone bug is destroyed..."
Maude glanced at the phone bug and said calmly: "I can't receive any calls."
"Hoho, I understand."
Lafayette pursed his lips and smiled, and put away the phone bug properly.
Once Smoothie died, no report was received over there, so they would definitely take the initiative to call.
It is not clear when the call came.
"Captain, there's something going on over there."
Lafayette suddenly felt something, looked in a certain direction, and issued a warning.
"Well, I 'saw' it."
Maud's eyes glowed red and she looked in the same direction.
Under the sensory perception, dozens of auras are as obvious as stars in the night sky.
"Lafayette, go deal with it. If it's a pirate, just kill it."
Maud put away her emotions.
"learn."
Lafayette took the order and headed towards the place where the breath was.
soon,
Lafayette left the square and entered a neighboring street.
As soon as his front foot reached, he heard a heavy sound of falling to the ground.
Following the sound, he saw an octopus man being surrounded by a group of humans and falling to the ground.
The body of the octopus fish man was wrapped in layers of bloody bandages.
It seems that before he was knocked down, he had already suffered serious injuries.
Lafayette saw the appearance of the octopus fish man clearly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
He was somewhat impressed by this fish man.
Lafayette turned his eyes and looked at the pirate who defeated the octopus man.
The leader had a thick beard and looked quite capable.
On his shoulders, he carried a young female mermaid tied into a rice dumpling.
Not only him, but several other pirates were also carrying a young and beautiful mermaid on their shoulders.
Lafayette glanced around and his eyes couldn't help but stop on one of the red-haired mermaid girls.
"Why is it her again???"
After seeing the mermaid girl's appearance clearly, Lafayette looked strange.
At the same time, in the square.
Maud looked at Arthur, who was standing motionless on the coral reef.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
“…”
Arthur was speechless for a moment.

Chapter 183 The first step to mastering ancient weapons
"So, this 'controversy' was caused by you? Do you want to get a coveted Devil Fruit?"
Maud looked at Arthur who looked worried.
After Arthur's explanation, he found out that the pirate in black robe who was responsible for leading the call was Arthur's lead.
"That's right..."
Arthur smiled bitterly, lowered his head and stared at his hands, unwilling to say:
"I have been working hard for a Devil Fruit for more than ten years and have never slacked off... But no matter how hard I try, I just can't get a Devil Fruit... "
"Sometimes, I really can't figure out why other people are so lucky and can find a Devil Fruit even when they poop, but I... don't even want to let go of a business with a profit of tens of thousands, and I finally saved after working so hard. I have enough money, but I still can’t buy a Devil Fruit!”
Mod asked curiously: "Since you have saved enough money, why do you want to get the treasure in Dragon Palace City?"
"well."
Arthur sighed deeply, took out a small delicate wine bottle from his pocket, removed the cork, and took a deep sip.
The bitter wine entered his throat. I don't know whether it was the pungent feeling brought by the alcohol or the reminder of the tragic memories. The corners of the eyes of this already grown man couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I had saved enough money and found the seller, but on the way to the delivery location, I encountered a storm. Although I survived by luck, the boat capsized, taking with me the money I had finally saved. , sank into the sea.”
At this point, Arthur took another sip of wine and choked up: "If this happens once or twice, I'll consider myself unlucky, but counting the latest time, this is the ninth time I've 'turned' It’s a boat!!”
"I just can't figure it out. Every time I save enough money, something always happens when it's time to deliver the goods!"
Maude was surprised when she heard this and couldn't help but ask again: "Since there have been so many accidents, why don't you stay in one place and wait for the seller to deliver the goods to you?"
"I think so too, ugh."
Arthur smiled bitterly and said: "But those guys in the underground world always have to temporarily set up a trading place before selling goods, and then hand over the money and deliver the goods. They also say it is a sense of ritual."
“…”
Maud was speechless.
"Wow, isn't this too sad?"
Perona, Bailey, and Brooke wiped away tears as they listened.
Bailey squeezed out a handful of snot, wiped it on Brooke's pants with his backhand, and suggested: "Smelly breast girl, give him a negative ghost."
"Why?"
Perona wiped her tears and asked doubtfully.
Bailey sighed: "As long as he is negative to the extreme, this sad experience will become a trivial matter."
"I see, I never thought a skunk like you could be smart."
Perona wiped away her tears while summoning the ghost of negativity.
Brooke looked at Bailey who was making plans and Perona who was about to take action, and was moved: "You two are so kind, you can think so thoughtfully for him!"
"That is!"
Perona raised her head slightly and waved away a negative ghost.
The white spirit passed through Arthur's body without any hindrance.
"I want to be a pile of shit poured on Devil Fruits in the next life."
Arthur, who was passed by the negative ghost, fell to his knees with a look of despair.
“…”
Maud looked at Arthur with pity.
It is unimaginable that this guy who also came out of Mad Hatter Town would have such a tragic experience.
After the negative time was over, Arthur returned to normal and declined Perona's offer to send another negative ghost.
He finally recovered, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "If I could get a Devil Fruit, not to mention attacking Ryugu City, but also attacking the Holy Land Marie Joa, I would do it!"
"It's not a good thing to be obsessed too much."
Maude said casually.
Before Lafayette finished dealing with the tail, he spent some time here listening to Arthur's own account of the tragic experience.
Arthur slowly raised his head, looked at Maud, and sighed: "You won't understand."
"Well, I really don't understand."
Mod nodded and raised his right hand. Shadow waves continued to flow on his palm, and then three devil fruits with different appearances slowly emerged.
"After all, I don't lack anything like Devil Fruit at all, and it takes up quite a lot of space."
"???!!!"
Arthur seemed to have received 10,000 points of critical damage. He stared at the three Devil Fruits that Mod took out casually, dumbfounded, and almost couldn't carry them in one breath.
What I dreamed of was just something that took up too much space in the hands of others
Until this moment,
He finally understood that people's joys and sorrows are never connected.
Maud put away the devil fruit.
At this time, Lafayette came from the edge of the square.
Behind him were several panicked pirates.
On the shoulders of the pirates, each carried a young female mermaid, and an octopus fish-man.
"what happened?"
Looking at the people Lafayette brought over, Maud was a little surprised.
Lafayette smiled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said seriously: "They are a group of 'human traffickers', and I happened to catch them."
When speaking, Lafayette deliberately amplified his voice, and even emphasized his tone when mentioning the three words "human trafficker".
This deliberate move was obviously intended for the residents of Fish-Man Island who were gradually gathering from all directions.
He was not wrong either.
Although this group of people are pirates, they are doing the business of human traffickers.
