Chapter 33 I, Arthur, never take advantage of others' dangers
To save the murlocs is to kill the murlocs.
How could Clara, as a bystander, imagine such a wonderful logical relationship.
Therefore, she purely thought that Maud was trying to save the murlocs.
While feeling incredible, followed by doubts about Maud's identity.
On the long street, the murloc slaves who wanted to escape back to the sea also noticed this.
Is someone helping me?
The murloc fell into the same thoughts as Clara for a moment.
who is it?
How could anyone help me in this place?
The murloc shook his head abruptly, how could he have the time to think so much, and bury his head in running for his life.
However, he is not a fool.
He experienced what a living target was on the spot, how could he continue to run on the long street.
He turned abruptly and ran towards the alley between the buildings.
The pirates who came out to have fun around saw that the murloc slaves had learned to be smart, and it was a pity that they could not fire a few more shots, and they would not be stupid enough to chase after them.
Because they know very well that the murloc slaves are the goods of the Mad Hatter auction.
When there are a lot of people, everyone shoots a few times each for fun, and everyone gets a share of it.
In that case, there is no need to worry about the auction house finding trouble afterwards.
As for helping the auction house catch murloc slaves alive?
Risks and benefits are not proportional, and you will do it when your head is kicked by a donkey.
Seeing that the murloc slaves escaped into the alley, the pirates who joined in the fun turned their attention to the three colleagues who were killed by whom they did not know, and the chaos in front of the auction gate.
On the top of the building, Maud saw the murloc turn into the alley, and the face under the mask showed a satisfied smile.
Is that right...
The thought of being able to verify whether the Hunter's Note would also work on the murlocs made Maud's heart warm.
When the ability was originally designed, the original intention was to take advantage of the intelligence advantage of the traversers.
Therefore, subconsciously, the Hunter's Note, as its name suggests, is intended to be above [hunting] and [people].
In the range of Maud's original expected prey, there are no such types of murlocs and giants.
But whether it is a murloc or a giant, it is also linked to [people] to some extent.
Therefore, Maude feels that the possibility of application is extremely high.
As long as it is applicable, the prey category will be further expanded.
At that time, murlocs and giants are simply more profitable prey.
However, although the income is high, compared to the pirates all over the world, the murlocs and giants are more like rare monsters.
Unless they go directly to their dens, they are basically unattainable existences.
"The physical fitness of the murlocs is really amazing. After so many injuries, they can still maintain such a speed."
Maud followed closely behind the murloc slave.
"If the three pirates hadn't been killed tonight, I might not be able to catch up now."
Seeing that the speed of the murloc slaves showed no sign of decay, Maude was surprised, but very calm.
It is best to let the murlocs run around like this.
Excessive blood loss first.
Then the physical strength plummeted.
It's easier to get started after that.
Maud saw the performance of the murloc slaves killing people in the crowd before.
At this moment, he was like a lone wolf patiently waiting for his prey to be exhausted, hanging tightly behind the murloc slave.
Considering the possibility of an obstructionist, Maud slowed down, reloading while chasing.
Even if the physical fitness is not bad now, only firearms can bring a sense of security.
As long as it is not an enemy who can resist bullets, Maud has the confidence to deal with it.
After leaving it like this for about ten minutes, the side effects of the murloc slaves finally started to erupt.
The first is excessive blood loss, which leads to weakness in the limbs.
This was followed by a sharp drop in speed.
Beware of accidents, Maud felt that he was almost ready to start.
He suddenly increased his speed, made several high-speed vertical jumps, and landed in front of the murloc slave.
The murloc slave was startled and stopped abruptly.
Excessive blood loss caused the limbs to be weak and the body could not support this futile sudden braking action, and could not help but stagger forward.
Oops……!
The murloc slave's heart skipped a beat.
To his surprise, the human in front of him did not take advantage of the situation to kill him.
In a hurry to stabilize his body, the murloc slave was afraid, panting heavily, staring at the human who suddenly fell.
His gaze swept across the dagger held by the human and the long-barreled muzzle protruding from his shoulder. He was suddenly startled, and immediately rushed forward, ignoring his physical strength.
Get started first!
boom--
The murloc slave stopped abruptly.
A lead bullet landed at his feet, and plumes of gunpowder smoke rose upward.
"Stupid humans."
Seeing that Maud had emptied the only lead bullet in his musket, the murloc slave was relieved.
In this kind of terrain, what he is most afraid of is guns, so he just took the risk of charging when he noticed the musket that Maud was carrying behind him.
As a result, the other party deliberately missed the bullet.
I don't know why, and I don't need to think about it.
At this time, the fishman slave was not in a hurry to shoot, and silently adjusted his breath.
Using a buckshot to stop the murloc slave's charge, Maud threw the empty buckshot [Usopp] aside and took out the dagger instead.
"Although you are a murloc, Arthur has never liked to take advantage of others' dangers."
Maud raised his head slightly, and the eyes in the hole in the mask stared at the body of the murloc slave.
"I see that you are seriously injured, and you have lost your breath because of running for your life, so I will give you five minutes to rest."
"..."
The murloc slave suddenly opened his eyes wide.
I see.
No wonder the gun just missed deliberately.
Hmph, boring character.
That's what makes humans so stupid.
five minutes?
It takes less than three minutes to adjust.
The murloc slave thought to himself and adjusted his breath.
How could he wait five minutes when his breath recovered?
Shoot directly, and then leave the right and wrong as soon as possible.
Maud looked at the murloc slave who was trying to recover his breath, and said sternly: "I will not kill the unknown, and report your name."
After he finished speaking, he raised the dagger in front of him.
The murloc slave glanced at the dagger and sneered.
Even if he is injured, as long as it is close combat, he has the confidence to kill the human with only a dagger in front of him in an instant.
"Heaton Sam."
The murloc slave called out his name in a cold voice without even thinking about it.
I wanted to add another harsh word, but I felt it was unnecessary.
Anyway, I will be able to pinch the head of this self-proclaimed righteous and noble human after a while.
"Heaton Sam, right?"
Maud smiled and looked carefully at the outline of the blood-stained face of the murloc slave.
After half a sound, Maud suddenly stepped back and put away his dagger.
The murloc named Sam was stunned when he saw this, not knowing what medicine was sold in Maud's gourd.
After Maud put away the dagger, he directly summoned the Hunter's Note.
"Huh? Could it be a devil fruit person?!"
Seeing Maud conjuring a notebook out of thin air, Sam realized the sense of crisis in vain, and no longer cared about adjusting his interest rate, he rushed towards Maud decisively.
Maud was calm in the face of danger, like a judge, holding a quill to quickly write Sam's name on the page and the amazing grip he showed in the battle.
"No matter what your abilities are, just let me get close...!"
Sam raised his right hand as he rushed, and his open webbed hand was ready to go, ready to squeeze Maud's cheek with his bare hands after getting close.
Suddenly, his face changed drastically.
Only to see that the note in Maud's hand suddenly disappeared, and he took out a flintlock pistol from inside his clothes.
boom--
Maud pulled the trigger.
A shot hit Sam in the body.
The blood flower suddenly rose, and the impact of the lead bullet made Sam's body shake, and then stopped.
"you……!"
Sam fell to the ground in disbelief.
Maud then pulled out a second flintlock pistol and shot Sam in the body.
"Shameless Arthur, Ah, Aaron Jue, will definitely take you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sam gasped.
"Aaron?"
Listening to Sam's cruel words before his death, Maud raised his brows.
