Chapter 566: The first step to master ancient weapons

Chapter 566 The first step to master ancient weapons
"So, this ‘turmoil’ was caused by you alone? In order to get a coveted devil fruit?"
Maude looked at Arthur with a nervous look on his face.
After Arthur's explanation, he learned that the black-robed pirate who was in charge of taking the lead in the call was the thread Arthur led.
"Yes..."
Arthur smiled bitterly, staring down at his hands, unwilling to say:
"For a devil fruit, I have been running for more than ten years and have never slackened... But no matter how hard I try, I can't get a devil fruit..."
"Sometimes, I really can’t figure out why other people’s luck is so good that they can find a devil fruit by shit, and I... I don’t even want to let go of a business with tens of thousands of profits. Save enough money, but 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?"
"Ugh."
Arthur sighed deeply, took out a delicate small wine bottle from his pocket, uncorked the bottle, and took a sip.
The bitter wine entered his throat, not knowing whether it was the pungent sensation brought by the alcohol, or remembering the tragic memories, tears burst into the corner of the eye of this already big and big man.
"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, even with the money I finally saved. , Sink into the sea."
Speaking of this, Arthur took another sip of wine and choked up: "If it's like this once or twice, I think I'm unlucky, but I count the most recent time, I'm already the ninth time to'turn'. The boat!!"
"I just can't figure it out, every time I save enough money, but when it's delivered, there will always be accidents!"
Maude was amazed and couldn't help asking 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 want to too, alas."
Arthur smiled bitterly: "The guys in the underground world, before selling the goods, always have to set a temporary trading location, and then pay the money and deliver the goods. They also say this is a sense of ceremony."
"..."
Maude was speechless.
"Woo, this is too sad, right?"
Perona, Bailey, and Brooke heard tears from the side.
Bei used his force to squeeze out a snot, put his backhand on Brooke's trousers, and suggested: "Smelly boobs, give him a negative ghost."
"why?"
Perona wiped her tears and asked doubtfully.
Bailey sighed: "As long as he is extremely negative, this sad experience will become a trivial matter."
"So, I didn't expect your skunk to be smart."
Perona wiped her tears while calling out negative ghosts.
Brook looked at Pele, who was making suggestions, and Perona who was ready to take action, and said, "You two are so kind, to think so thoughtfully for him!"
"That is!"
Perona raised her head slightly and waved away a negative ghost.
The white spirit body passed through Arthur's body without hindrance.
"I want to make a lump of on the devil fruit in my next life."
Arthur, who was passed through by the negative ghost, knelt on the ground with a look of love.
"..."
Maude looked at Arthur with pity.
It is hard to imagine that this fellow who also came out of Mad Hatter Town would have such a sad experience.
After the negative time was over, Arthur returned to normal, and turned down Perona's suggestion of another negative ghost.
He finally managed to slow down, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "If you can get a devil fruit, let alone attacking Dragon Palace, you are attacking the Holy Land Mariejoa, I will do it too!"
"It is not a good thing to be too obsessed."
Maude said casually.
Before Lafayette 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 at Maude, and sighed, "You don't understand."
"Well, I really don't understand."
Maude nodded and raised his right hand, Shadow Wave continued to flow in his palm, and three demon fruits with different appearances slowly emerged.
"After all, I have no shortage of things like devil fruits, and they take up space."
"?????!!!"
Arthur seemed to have received 10,000 points of critical damage. He was stunned to see the three Devil Fruits that Maude took out, and he almost couldn't carry it back.
What you dream of, in the hands of others, is it just a thing that takes up too much space?
Until now,
He finally understood that human sorrows and joys have never been connected.
Maude put away the devil fruit.
At this moment, Lafayette came from the edge of the square.
Behind him, followed by a few panicked pirates.
On the shoulders of the pirates, each carried a young female mermaid, in addition to an octopus man.
"what happened?"
Looking at the person Lafayette led over, Maude was a little surprised.
Lafayette smirked, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said seriously: "It's a group of'human traffickers', I just caught it."
When speaking, Lafayette deliberately amplified his voice, and even increased his tone when he mentioned the three words human trafficker.
Such a deliberate move was clearly meant for the residents of Murloc Island who gradually gathered from all directions.
He also made no mistake.
Although this group of people are pirates, they are engaged in the activities of human traffickers.
"It's a human trafficker!!!"
The murlocs or mermaids all around glared at the pirates brought by Lafayette.
Disgust, hatred, anger.
Various emotions were mixed and intertwined, turning into sharp eyes that fell on these pirates.
The reaction of the residents of Murloc Island was quietly caught by Lafayette, and he immediately pursed his lips and smiled silently.
Maude didn't think so much about Lafayette, frowned, looked at the trembling pirates in front of him, and then looked at the mermaid who was carried by the pirates.
One of them is familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.
There is another mermaid girl with long waist-length red hair...
Looking at the red-haired mermaid girl, Maude's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a reaction similar to Lafayette's back then.
"This woman..."
Maude really didn't know what to say, he shook his head slightly, and turned to look at the seriously injured octopus man.
With a trumpet-like mouth and a hairstyle with sharp horns, he was born in the evil dragon pirate group.
Maude didn't know what happened in this, and was even less interested in studying it.
"Next time you encounter such a trafficker, just kill it directly, you don't need to bring it over."
Maude looked at Lafayette and sentenced the pirates to death lightly.
"That's right, after all, the captain has always hated human traffickers, so how could he leave'compassion' to them."
Lafayette slowly pulled out his sword and said with a smile, "This is my negligence."
As soon as the voice fell, Lafayette slashed out and cut the throats of the pirates who had just moved.
"Goo..."
The pirates clutched their slit necks and stared at Lafayette.
Lafayette smiled and made up a sword.
Puff--
Several pirates fell to the ground and died.
Maude looked strangely at Lafayette, who behaved slightly strangely.
Just killing a few human traffickers.
In normal times, Lafayette basically just doesn't talk, how can he say so much on purpose.
And there is no need to bring these traffickers to the square and kill them directly on the street, and there is no need to bring the mermaid caught by the traffickers.
Maude was surprised, and from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the residents of Murloc Island at the edge of the square, suddenly suddenly.
This guy Lafayette...
What "opportunity" is really not let go.
Maude looked at Lafayette and let out a laugh.
Lafayette did not speak, but tapped the ground several times, making a pleasant noise.
In order to let the influence of his captain reach any corner of the fisherman island, big things and small things are good, and no opportunity should be missed.
This is also his duty as a guide for Mord.
If nothing else...
In the square, the battle with ten thousand enemies, the battle with the BIG.MOM general Star Smouji, and the execution of human traffickers under the public.
Various factors add up.
The residents of Murloc Island who have seen everything with their own eyes should completely let go of their hostility to them, and may even regard them as the heroes who rescued Murloc Island.
"After that, just wait for the king of Fishman Island to personally welcome the captain into Dragon Palace... everything will come naturally."
Lafayette thought in his heart.
Maude didn't mind Lafayette's self-assertion.
In fact, Lafayette's ability has never let him down.
The previous method of live broadcasting in the square was actually proposed by Lafayette.
All the starting points are to make Camp Moder a top powerhouse that will benefit the fish island.
Only in this way can the Murloc Island be included in the territory without any effort.
But for Maude, in addition to targeting the "slave phenomenon", what he values ​​more is the Princess White Star who has the identity of an ancient weapon.
And these things they did on Murloc Island will eventually become a key factor in mastering ancient weapons.
"Well……"
Suddenly, the red-haired mermaid girl woke up.
After opening her eyes, she saw Maude, and she was startled.
"Am I dreaming..."
In a daze, the red-haired mermaid girl only thought she was in a dream.
Otherwise, how could he be so lucky that he was rescued by Maude when he was in danger.
"Why are you caught again?"
Maude looked at the waking red-haired mermaid girl.
Every time I met in this way, Maude was even more impressed with this mermaid girl.
Although I still don’t know her name...
"what?"
Upon hearing Maude's words, the red-haired mermaid girl slowly recovered.
She stayed for a few seconds, bit her tongue suddenly, and under the pain, she realized that everything in front of her was not a dream, but a reality.
"Maud..."
The joy of escaping, the joy of reuniting the person she admired, made this red-haired mermaid girl no longer able to restrain her emotions and cried loudly.
In emotion, the red-haired mermaid girl stretched out her hands and flew towards Maud.
It seemed that he wanted to hug Maude's neck, and then snuggle in Maude's arms to vent his emotions.
Facing the pounce of the red-haired mermaid girl, Maude directly turned sideways, letting the red-haired mermaid girl fly past him, and then fell heavily to the ground with a bang.
The court suddenly became quiet.
Lafayette and the others, and even the residents of Murloc Island in the distance, all looked at Maude standing sideways with different expressions, as well as the red-haired mermaid girls who fell to the ground as if they were a little confused.
Then, the red-haired mermaid girl cried louder.
Xiao Ba and the other kidnapped mermaid girls woke up one after another, staring blankly at the red-haired mermaid girl lying on the ground crying.
Perona on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and helped the red-haired mermaid girl up.
When Maude saw this, he raised his finger and scratched his cheek.
The swoop just now was like an attack, so normal people would avoid it for the first time.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed that Lafitte had pushed the sword out a bit, and Jim had already raised his fist.
"What are you doing?"
Maude was shocked.
"Oh oh."
Lafayette pursed his lips and smiled without explaining, but slowly pushed the sword back into the sheath.
"Captain, I thought that mermaid was going to attack you."
Jim put down the big fist of the casserole and explained silently.
Had it not been for the harmless actions of the red-haired mermaid at the end, Jim would have put his fist on the red-haired mermaid’s face.
"..."
Maude suddenly felt that the two companions beside him were probably going to be alone.
"Little Eight, your injury...!"
Among the awakened mermaid, there was a mermaid with light green short hair, nervous and worried, looking at Xiao Ba who was covered with injuries.
"Kemi, it's okay, don't worry about me."
Xiao Ba got up with difficulty, and with every movement, blood leaked from the bandage and dripped onto the ground.
Looking at the blood that kept dripping from Xiaoba's body, the mermaid named Kemi, covering his mouth, his face was pale.
"Maude, did you save them?"
Xiao Ba raised his head and looked at Maude, who was much taller than himself, with complicated eyes.
More than two years ago, the scene of Maude destroying the territory of the evil dragon is still vivid to Xiao Ba.
At that time, Xiao Ba deeply felt that Maude was a monster through and through.
To this day, this existence that he considered to be a monster has now exceeded his cognition.
"Right."
Maude said casually.
Xiao Ba heard the words, and was confused and grateful.
Puff--!
He didn't know how to express his gratitude, dragged 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 would never forgive myself..."
Xiao Ba's forehead slammed against the ground, and tears were vaguely visible.
He hated his inability.
"Little Eight..."
Kemi and the others looked at Xiao Ba at a loss.
Maude calmly looked at Xiao Ba, who was kneeling and kowtow.
It seems that many similar scenes have been encountered.
The commonalities of these experiences are all related to phenomena such as "traffickers", "trafficking" and "slaves".
Obviously, it's just a matter of effort, but to these people, it's like the grace of remaking.
"Sony...have had such an experience before?"
Maude suddenly thought of Sunny.
Many things promised to her have not yet been completed...
The edge of the square.
The more and more Murloc Island residents gathered, silently watching what was happening in the field.
Without this powerful human being...
The countless pirates gathered on the square will attack 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 strong human who saved the fisherman island in crisis! ! !
suddenly.
Someone noticed Neptune falling from the air on the bubble wrap.
"Look, it's Your Majesty Neptune!"
The residents of Murloc Island looked up at Neptune falling from the sky.
Facing 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 suddenly guessed what was going on.
"Mr. Maude, please go to Dragon Palace City to give a comment."
Neptune respectfully extended an invitation to Maude.
This scene was seen in the eyes of the surrounding fisherman island residents, and their [recognition] for Maud had reached an unchangeable level.
People, once they have accepted the facts they have seen with their own eyes...will be convinced!
　 Suddenly there was an idea to write this book to a thousand chapters, just like a hunter from the previous book... Forget it, there is still 431 chapters from the thousand chapters. . Four thousand words per chapter, that is... there are 1.7 million words left.
