HxH in One Piece World

Slaves yearned for freedom, but they were still different from the tortured prisoners imprisoned in the undersea advance city.

If it is a prisoner who is pushing into the city, if he gets the chance, he will definitely rack his brains to figure out how to escape.

But slaves look forward and backward.

That's what's essentially different between them and the prisoners of the advance city.

Maud glanced at the silent slaves, and said nothing more. He stepped over the gap in the iron fence and went straight to the transparent glass water tank where the mermaid girl was imprisoned.

The slaves looked hesitantly at Maud as he walked towards the water tank.

"Then we... can we find the key?"

The person who spoke was still the male slave just now.

What he said was the voice of other slaves.

"It's your freedom to do whatever you want, you don't need to ask me."

Maud came to the transparent water tank and tilted his head to look at the group of cowering slaves.

Even this kind of thing has to be asked like walking on thin ice.

It is not without reason that some people hate slavery from the bottom of their hearts.

"thanks!"

Maud's words caused the slaves to get up like an amnesty, and went outside the cage, trying to find the key to unlock the shackles and collars from the corpse.

Inside the water tank, the mermaid girl who couldn't hear the sound looked at this scene in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, she carefully looked at Maud standing in front of the water tank, her expression full of timidity.

She didn't know what Maud wanted to do.

However, her intuition told her that the man in front of her would not hurt her.

Even so, she could not restrain the timidity that came from her heart.

Maud lifted the thick wooden board covering the top of the water tank and broke the chain that fixed the mermaid girl in the water tank.

"Can you come out by yourself?"

"..."

The mermaid girl stared at Maud blankly.

"Can't understand?"

"I-I understand."

The mermaid girl came back to her senses, her face sticking out of the water tank.

While looking at Maud, Qiqi used both hands to support the edge of the tank mouth, and with a little force, let the upper body get out of the water.

Afterwards, the slender and white arm of the mermaid girl slapped randomly towards the outside of the water tank, as if she wanted to pull the lower half of the fish out of the water tank.

But for her, the shackles on her body were too heavy, or because of other reasons, she tried several times, but all ended in failure.

Due to the excessive pulling action, the hair covering the sensitive part of the chest fell to one side, and immediately revealed a little spring light.

Disco is also an old auctioneer. In order to stimulate the guests' auction **, he didn't even give a fish girl a single piece of intimate clothing.

If the auction can be successfully held, it is almost conceivable what kind of reaction the male creatures will show.

Seeing that the mermaid girl who was having a good time couldn't get out no matter how hard she pulled, Maud couldn't help but glanced at the mermaid girl's completely lackluster lower half of the fish.

Are you hurt?

Maud raised his hand and grabbed the mermaid girl.

"what."

The mermaid girl couldn't help screaming, but quickly covered her mouth, for fear of making Maud unhappy.

Maud's movements are not gentle, but they are not too rough. After pulling the mermaid girl out of the water tank, she put it directly on the ground.

The mermaid girl didn't seem to be able to keep the fishtail standing on the ground to maintain balance, and her body suddenly fell back.

When Maud saw this, he grabbed the waist of the mermaid girl in time to prevent the mermaid girl from falling directly to the ground.

"Your fish tail is hurt?"

"Um."

The mermaid girl lowered her head, her face was slightly rosy, and her voice was like the chirping of mosquitoes.

"Can't even stand still?"

"sorry……"

The mermaid girl buried her head even lower.

Maud frowned slightly, put the mermaid girl on the ground, then took off the black coat on her body and threw it into the mermaid girl's hands.

"Put it on."

"..."

The mermaid girl caught the coat, looked at Maud who turned around with a complicated expression, put the coat on silently, and covered the skin that was exposed to the air.

"thanks."

After putting on her coat, the mermaid girl looked grateful.

Maud did not turn around, but looked at the group of slaves who were looking for keys in the pile of corpses, and said calmly:

"This is Tree Island No. 1. It is located in the center of the entire Chambord Archipelago, and it is also the farthest place from the coastline. However, there are still some gaps between the islands, so you don't need to go to the coastline. You can pass through these The sea surface goes directly to the bottom of the sea.”

"I can't walk right now, but if I can get to the sea... So, so, can I trouble you to take me to the crevices between those islands..."

The mermaid girl looked at Maud's back timidly.

Asking Maud for help was her only chance to escape the archipelago.

And she mustered the courage to seize the opportunity.

If she is rejected, even if she can take off the collar around her neck, she will never be able to escape this disaster-filled place.

Maud looked sideways at the mermaid girl with hopeful eyes, thinking about going from here to the gap between Tree Island No. 1 and Tree Island No. 2, just a few hundred meters away, he nodded in response.

If you go to Fishman Island in the future, the mermaid girl in front of you may be a useful bridge of opportunity.

How important it is is unknown.

Seeing that Maud agreed to help, the mermaid girl suddenly showed a relieved smile.

The imprisonment for this period of time, and the gloomy life that can be foreseen in the future, weighed on her almost out of breath.

And now, she was finally able to breathe.

"My lord, this is the key. It should be able to untie the collar on the mermaid lady."

At this time, a male slave returned to the cage with the key.

The shackles and collars on his body have been removed, but after regaining his freedom, he did not escape directly, but carefully brought the key to the cage.

Mordor glanced at the male slave and took the key without saying a word.

The male slave didn't say much, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Maud.

Maud's expression moved slightly, his eyes turned away from the male slave and turned to look outside the cage.

I saw that the other slaves also bowed deeply towards him, expressing their gratitude to him in this way.

Maud looked at them.

"You are from a non-joined country. When you go out here, you will be targeted by other slave-catching teams on the island at any time. Instead of doing such a waste of time, it is better to think about how to safely leave the no-holds-barred zone."

"That's the only way we can thank you."

The male slave slowly got up with a solemn expression.

Maud glanced at him and said calmly, "Just do it yourself."

The male slave bowed again, then turned and left.

As Maud said, they are non-joined nations and need to race against the clock to escape the no-holds-barred zone.

Only then can they go one step further to embrace freedom in the true sense.

The slaves left one after another.

Seven or eight minutes later.

Lafayette returned here after looting the spoils.

He carried a bulging cloth bag on his shoulder, which seemed to contain a lot of banknotes.

Maud looked at the cloth bag on Lafayette's shoulder and smiled: "It seems that the harvest is not bad."

"Huh, a lot less than expected."

Lafayette was not very satisfied, mainly because he remembered the harvest in the dragon's territory, and the money was piled up into hills.

In comparison, the heritage of the Human Auction is much more shabby.

"If you don't have a business, you can make money."

Maud didn't care much, picked up the mermaid girl and prepared to leave here.

Lafayette glanced at the mermaid girl and paused for a while on the black coat on the mermaid girl, but kept silent and did not ask the reason.

Several people left the human auction site through the back door and went outside.

During this delay, the navies stationed on the Chambord Islands have already taken their places.

While guiding the guests away from the place of right and wrong, they formed a circle around the human auction house.

When they saw Maud and Lafayette walking out of the human auction, the navies armed with standard weapons were taken aback.

"It's really Bacardi Maud..."

The face of the admiral who led the team changed.

When he first received the report, he was a little unconvinced.

"The navy moves very fast."

Maud first glanced at the surrounding navy, and immediately turned to the entire auction house with a look of knowledge.

Under the "scanning" of seeing and hearing, Maud could not perceive any breath.

I think all the guests have successfully escaped from the auction.

After making up his mind, Maud ordered: "Lafayette, demolish this auction house."

"OK."

Lafayette smiled slightly, put down the cloth bag containing the money, and immediately drew the sword.

The act of drawing the sword directly stimulated the surrounding navy, and subconsciously aimed the muzzle at Maud and Lafayette.

Fortunately, the person in charge of the team was relatively calm and did not rashly order, but frowned at the situation on the field.

Without a legitimate reason, the navy cannot attack Shichibukai.

Under the watchful eyes of many navies, Lafayette swung several swords towards the auction house.

The sword light flashed, and the human auction house was chopped into several pieces, and then collapsed suddenly, raising a lot of dust.

The surrounding navy, and even some of the people who have not left, looked at the human auction house destroyed by Lafayette with a shocked expression.

Here, but Doflamingo's industry!

And such a move is tantamount to hitting Doflamingo in the face.

The admiral who led the team looked deeply at Maud who was embracing the mermaid girl.

The man in front of him, who had just become Shichibukai, was doing whatever he wanted just as rumored...

among the crowd.

A sturdy figure came to the scene, also looking at Maud.

But the eyes of this figure were locked on the mermaid girl held by Maud in her arms.
