The Scourge of Pirates

“So, did you contribute to this’turmoil’? In order to get a year for something even in dreams Devil Fruit?”

Maude Looking at Arthur with a worried look.

After Arthur’s explanation, he realized that the black robe Pirate who was in charge of taking the lead in the call was the thread that Arthur led.

“Yes…”

Arthur was bitter with Issho, staring down at his hands, unwilling to say:

“For a Devil Fruit, I I have been running for more than ten years, and I have never slackened…but no matter how hard I work, I just can’t get a Devil Fruit…”

“Sometimes, I really can’t figure out why others are so lucky , I can find a Devil Fruit for shit, and I… I don’t even want to let go of a business with a profit of tens of thousands of dollars. I finally saved enough money, but I still can’t buy a Devil Fruit!”

Maude asked curiously: “Since you have saved enough money, why do you want to get the treasure in Dragon Palace?”

“Oh.”

Ya Se sighed deeply, took out a delicate small wine bottle from his pocket, opened the cork, and took a sip fiercely.

The bitter wine entered the throat. I don’t know if it was the pungent sensation brought by the alcohol, or I remembered the tragic memories. The corners of the eyes of this big and big man couldn’t help but burst into tears.

“I saved enough money, and the seller found it, but on the way to the delivery location, I encountered a storm. Although I survived by chance, the ship capsized, with I finally saved enough money and sank into the sea.”

Speaking of which, Arthur took a sip of wine again fiercely and choked: “If it is one or two times like this, I consider myself bad luck , But counting the fucking recent time, Lao Tzu has already’turned over’ the boat for the ninth time!!”

“I just can’t figure it out, every time I finally save enough money, I can wait until When delivery is delivered, there will always be accidents!”

Maude was amazed and couldn’t help asking again: “Since that many accidents have occurred, why don’t you stay in one place, Then wait for the seller to deliver the goods to you?”

“I think too, ah.”

Arthur said with a bitter smile: “But those guys from Underground World Before selling the goods, you always have to temporarily set a trading location, and then pay the money and deliver the goods in one hand. It is also said that this is a sense of ceremony.”

“…”

Maude Speechless.

“Wu wu, is this too sad, right?”

Perona, Beli, and Brook heard tears aside.

Beli squeezed out a snot forcefully, put his backhand on Brook’s trousers, and suggested: “Smelly boobs, please give him a negative ghost.”

” Why?”

Perona wiped her tears and asked in confusion.

Beli sighed: “As long as he is extremely negative, this sad experience will become an insignificant little thing.”

“so that’s how it is, really didn’t expect when your skunk was also alive.”

Perona wiped her tears while calling out a negative ghost.

Brook looked at Beli who was making suggestions and Perona who was about to put them into action, and said: “You two are so kind, so thoughtful for him!”

“That Yes!”

Perona raised her head slightly and waved away a negative ghost.

White’s Spirit Physique passed through Arthur’s body without any hindrance.

“I want to make a pile of shit on Devil Fruit in my next life.”

Arthur, who was passed through by the negative ghost, fell to his knees with a look of lovelessness. .

“…”

Maude looked at Arthur with pity.

This unimaginable fellow who also came out of Mad Hat Town will have such a sad experience.

After the negative time was over, Arthur returned to normal, and declined Perona’s suggestion of another negative ghost.

He managed to get over, and immediately gnashing teeth said: “If you can get a Devil Fruit, let alone attack the Dragon Palace, you will attack Holy Land Mariejois, I will do it too!”

“It’s not a good thing to be too obsessed.”

Maude said casually.

Before Laffitte finished dealing with the tail, listening to Arthur personally narrate the tragic experience here, it was a waste of time.

Arthur slowly raised his head, looked towards Maude, and sighed: “You don’t understand”

“Well, I don’t understand.”

Maude nodded, lifting right hand, the shadow waves flowed on the palm, and then three Devil Fruits with different appearances slowly emerged.

“After all, I don’t lack Devil Fruit this thing at all, and it takes up space.”

“??!!!!”

Arthur As if it had received 10,000 points of critical damage, dumbstruck looked at the three Devil Fruits that Maude had taken out, and almost failed to carry them back.

What I have yearn for something even in dreams, in the hands of others, is just a thing that takes up too much space?

Until this moment,

He finally understood that the joys and sorrows of people are never connected.

Maude puts away Devil Fruit.

At this time, Laffitte came from the edge of the square.

Behind him, followed by Pirate who lost one’s head out of fear.

Pirate’s shoulders each carry a young female mermaid, in addition to an Octopus Fishman.

“What’s the matter?”

Maude was a little surprised looking at the person Laffitte led over.

Laffitte hoho Issho, eyes slightly narrowed, earnestly said: “It’s a group of’human traffickers’ who happened to be caught by me.”

When speaking, Laffitte deliberately amplifies the voice, mentioning The three words human trafficker even increased the tone.

Such a deliberate action is obviously for the residents of Fishman Island who are gradually gathering from all around.

He also said not at all wrong.

Although this group of people is Pirate, they are engaged in human traffickers.

“It’s a trafficker!!!”

The surrounding Fishman or mermaid glared at Pirate who was brought over by Laffitte.

Disgust, hatred, anger.

Various emotions are mixed and intertwined, turning into one after another sharp gaze falling on these Pirates.

The reaction of the residents of Fishman Island was quietly caught in the eyes of Laffitte, and Issho pursed his lips immediately.

Maude didn’t think that many Laffitte, frowning, looked at the trembling Pirates in front of him, and then looked towards the mermaid carried by Pirate on his shoulders.

One of them is familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

There is another mermaid girl with waist-length red hair…

Looking at the Akagami mermaid girl, Maude twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing something similar to Laffitte back then reaction.

“This woman…”

Maude didn’t know what to say, she shook her head slightly, and looked towards the seriously injured Octopus Fishman.

The horn-like mouth and the sharp horn hairstyle are exactly what Hachi was born in Arlong Pirates.

Maude doesn’t know what happened in this, and is even less interested in going into it.

“Next time you encounter this kind of trafficker, just kill it directly, you don’t need to bring it over.”

Maude looked towards Laffitte, casually sentenced these Pirates to death.

“That’s right, after all, the captain has always hated human traffickers, how could he leave’compassion’ to them.”

Laffitte slowly pulled out his sword, said with a slight smile: “This is my negligence.”

Tone barely fell, Laffitte cut out with a sword, and slashed the throats of Pirate who had just moved.

“Goo…”

The Pirates clutched their slit necks and stared at Laffitte.

Laffitte smiled and made up a sword.

Puff–

Several Pirates fell to the ground and died.

Maude looked strangely at Laffitte, who behaved slightly strangely.

Just killing a few human traffickers.

In normal times, Laffitte basically just does not speak, how can he say that many things on purpose.

Moreover, there is no need to bring these traffickers to the square and kill them directly on the street. There is no need to bring the mermaid caught by the traffickers.

Maude was strange, and from the corner of her eye, she glanced at the residents of Fishman Island at the edge of the square, immediately suddenly.

Laffitte this guy…

What the “opportunity” really is.

Maude looked at Laffitte and let out a laugh.

Laffitte did not speak, but tapped the ground several times, making a pleasant noise.

In order to let the influence of the captain go deep into any corner of Fishman Island, major event is good, and you must not miss any opportunities.

This is also his duty as a guide for Maude.

If nothing else…

The battle in the square with ten thousand enemies and the battle with BIG.MOMCommander Smoothie, coupled with the execution of human traffickers in the public.

A variety of factors are superimposed.

The residents of Fishman Island who have witnessed everything with their own eyes should completely let go of their hostility, and may even regard them as the heroes who saved Fishman Island.

“After that, just wait for the king of Fishman Island to personally welcome the captain into Dragon Palace… Everything will be where water flows, a canal is formed.”

Laffitte in the heart thought With.

Maude doesn’t mind Laffitte’s self-assertion.

In fact, Laffitte’s ability has never let him down.

The previous method of live broadcasting in the square was actually proposed by Laffitte.

All the starting points are to make Camp Maude a Peak powerhouse that will benefit Fishman Island without any harm.

Only in this way can Fishman Island be included in the site as easy as blowing off dust.

But for Maude, in addition to the “slave phenomenon”, what he values ​​more is Shirahoshi Princess, who has the identity of an ancient weapon.

And these things they did on Fishman Island will eventually become a key factor in mastering ancient weapons.

“Um…”

Suddenly, the Akagami mermaid girl woke up.

After eyes opened, she saw Maude and couldn’t help but startled.

“Am I dreaming…”

In a trance, the Akagami mermaid girl only thought she was in a dream.

Otherwise, how could I be so lucky that when I was in danger, I was rescued by Maude.

“Why are you caught again?”

Maude looked at the Akagami mermaid girl who woke up.

Every time I met in this way, Maude was even more impressed with this mermaid girl.

Although I still don’t know her name until now…

“Huh?”

Hearing Maude’s words, the Akagami mermaid slowly came back to his senses.

She stayed for a few seconds, suddenly bit her tongue hard, and under the pain, she realized that everything in front of her was not a dream, but a reality.

“Maude…”

The joy of escaping, the joy of reuniting with the one I adore, made this Akagami mermaid girl no longer able to restrain her emotions and cried loudly.

In emotion, the Akagami mermaid girl stretched out her hands and flew towards Maude.

It seems that I want to hug Maude’s neck, and then snuggle in Maude’s arms to vent my emotions.

Faced with the Akagami mermaid’s pounce, Maude turned sideways, letting the Akagami mermaid fly past her, and then fell heavily to the ground with a bang.

The venue was immediately quiet.

Laffitte, and even the residents of Fishman Island in the distance, are all Maude looking sideways with different expressions, and Akagami mermaid girls who fell to the ground as if they were a little confused.

Then, the Akagami mermaid girl cried louder.

Hachi and the other kidnapped mermaid girls wake up one after another, looking blankly at the Akagami mermaid girl who is lying on the ground crying with rustling sound.

Perona on the side really couldn’t stand it anymore and helped the Akagami mermaid girl up.

Maude scratched her cheek when she saw it.

The swoop just now was like an attack. Normal people would immediately avoid it.

Out of the corner of his eyes, I suddenly noticed that Laffitte had pushed the sword out a bit, and Jim had already raised his fist.

“What are you doing?”

Maude was surprised.

“hoho.”

Laffitte pursed Issho, without explaining, but slowly pushed the sword back into the sheath.

“Captain, I thought the mermaid was going to attack you.”

Jim put down his casserole-sized fist and explained it silently.

If it weren’t for seeing the harmless actions of the Akagami mermaid girl at the end, Jim would have put his fist on the face of the Akagami mermaid girl.

“…”

Maude suddenly felt that the two companions next to him were probably going to be alone.

“Hachi, the injury on your body…!”

Among the mermaid who woke up, there was a mermaid with light green and short hair, who was nervous and worried and looked all over It’s hurt Hachi.

“Kemi, it’s okay, don’t worry about me.”

Hachi got up with difficulty. With every movement, blood leaked from the bandage and dripped onto the ground.

Looking at the blood that kept dripping from Hachi’s body, the mermaid named Kemi, covering his mouth, his face was pale.

“Maude, did you save them?”

Hachi looked up at Maude, who was much taller than himself, with complicated eyes.

The picture of Maude destroying the Arlong Territory more than two years ago is still vivid for Hachi.

At that time, Hachi deeply felt that Maude was a monster through and through.

Until today, this existence that he considers to be a monster has now exceeded his cognition.

“That’s it.”

Maude said without thinking.

Hachi hearing this, I am both disappointed and grateful.

Puff–!

He didn’t know how to express his gratitude, dragging his badly injured body, knelt down without warning, his forehead hit the ground heavily.

“Thank you…At that time…New…I was unable to save them…I could only watch them being taken away by traffickers…New…If it weren’t for you…I will not forgive all my life Myself…”

Hachi’s forehead slammed against the ground, and tears were faintly visible.

He hates his inability.

“Hachi…”

Kemi and the others not knowing what to do look at Hachi.

Maude calmly looked at Hachi, who was kneeling and kowtow.

Similar screens seem to have been encountered many times.

The commonality of these experiences is all related to phenomena such as “traffickers”, “trafficking” and “slave”.

Clearly, it is just no effort at all that’s all. For these people, it is like the grace of remaking.

“Sunny…have had this experience before?”

Maude suddenly thought of Sunny.

Many things promised to her have not been completed yet…

Edge of the square.

The more and more residents of Fishman Island gathered together, silently watching what was happening in the venue.

Without this powerful human being…

The countless Pirates gathered on the square would attack the Dragon Palace!

Those mermaids abducted by human traffickers will become the next victims to be persecuted by human beings.

There is no doubt that it was this human powerhouse that saved Fishman Island from crisis! ! !

Suddenly.

Someone noticed Neptune falling from the air on the bubble wrap.

“Look, it’s Neptune Your Majesty!”

The residents of Fishman Island looked up towards Neptune falling from the sky.

In response to everyone’s gaze, Neptune slowly fell in front of Maude.

He glanced at the scene of the scene, he was very familiar with human crimes, and he guessed what was going on.

“Mr. Maude, please come to Dragon Palace for a comment.”

Neptune respectfully extended an invitation to Maude.

This scene was seen by the residents of Fishman Island around, and their [recognition] towards Maude has reached an unchangeable level.

People, once they accept the facts they have seen with their own eyes… they will believe it!
