Chapter 33-I, Arthur, Never Take Advantage of the Situation
The purpose of saving the murloc is to kill the murloc.
How could Koala as a bystander think of this wonderful logical relationship.
Therefore, she purely thought that Maude was trying to save the murloc.
While feeling unbelievable, what followed was doubts about Maude’s identity.
On the long street, the murloc slave who wanted to escape back to the sea also noticed this.
Is someone helping me?
The murloc fell into the same thinking as Koala for an instant.
who is it?
How can someone help me in such a place?
The murloc shook his head suddenly.
However, he is not a fool.
After experiencing what is called a live target on the spot, how could he continue to run on the long street.
He suddenly turned aside and ran towards the lane between the buildings.
The pirates who came out to have fun around saw that the murloc slaves had learned to be clever, and regretted that they couldn’t shoot a few more shots, nor would they be stupid enough to chase them.
Because they know very well that murloc slaves are a commodity in Mad Hatter’s auction house.
When there are a lot of people, everybody shoots a few shots for fun, and everyone has a share if it kills.
In that case, there is no need to worry about the auction house making trouble afterwards.
As for helping the auction house catch murloc slaves alive?
Risks and benefits are not proportional, and you will only do it if your head is kicked by a donkey.
Seeing the murloc slaves escaping into the lanes, the pirates who joined in the excitement turned their attention to the three colleagues who did not know who was killed, and the chaos in front of the gate of the auction house.
On the top of the building, Maude saw the murloc turning into the lane, and his face under the mask showed a smile of satisfaction.
That’s right…
At the thought of being able to verify whether the Hunter’s Notes would also be effective for the Murlocs, Maude’s heart became hot.
When the ability was originally designed, the original intention was to use the intelligence advantage of the traverser.
Therefore, in the subconscious mind, the hunter’s notes, as the name suggests, are intended to be above [hunting] and [people].
In Maude’s initial prey range, there were no such types of murlocs and giants.
But whether it is a murloc or a giant, it is more or less hooked with [human].
Therefore, Maude feels that the possibility of application is extremely high.
As long as it is applicable, the prey category will be able to be further expanded.
By then, murlocs and giants are simply more profitable prey.
However, although the income is high, murlocs and giants are more like rare-level monsters than pirates all over the world.
Unless they go directly to their den, it is basically an existence that can be met and cannot be sought.
“The physique of the murlocs is really amazing. After so many injuries, they can still maintain such a speed.”
Maude followed closely behind the murloc slave.
“If it weren’t for killing the three pirates tonight, I might not be able to catch up now.”
Seeing that the murloc slave’s running speed showed no signs of decay, Maude was surprised, but calm.
It’s best to let the murloc run more in this way.
First, there is too much blood loss.
Then there is a sharp drop in individual strength.
It will be much easier to shoot afterwards.
The previous performance of murloc slaves killing and killing in the crowd, Maude was all in his eyes.
At this moment, he was like a lone wolf patiently waiting for its prey, hanging tightly behind the murloc slave.
Considering that someone might be in the way, Maude slowed down and reloaded ammunition while chasing.
Even though the current physical fitness is not bad, only firearms can bring a sense of security.
As long as it is not an enemy who can resist the bullet, Maude has the confidence to deal with it.
After leaving it for about ten minutes, the side effects of the Murloc slave’s injury finally began to erupt.
First, too much blood was lost, causing weakness in the limbs.
This was followed by a sharp drop in speed.
Beware of changes, Maude felt almost ready to start.
He suddenly speeded up, several high-speed leaps, and landed in front of the murloc slave.
The murloc slave was taken aback and stopped abruptly.
Excessive blood loss caused the body with weak limbs to be unable to support this vain sudden stop, and he couldn’t help but stagger forward.
Oops……!
The murloc slave’s heart beat wildly.
To his surprise, the human in front of him didn’t take advantage of the situation to kill him.
Hurrying to stabilize the body, the murloc slave panted heavily, watching the humans who suddenly fell.
His gaze flicked over the dagger held by the human being and the long-barreled muzzle exposed from his shoulders.
Get started first!
boom–
The murloc slave stopped again abruptly.
A lead bullet fell on his feet, and plumes of gunpowder rose upward.
“Stupid humans.”
Seeing Maude emptied the only lead shot of the musket, the murloc slave was quite sure.
This kind of terrain, he was most afraid of guns, so just now when he noticed Maude’s musket behind his back, he would venture to charge.
As a result, the opponent deliberately missed the bullet.
For unknown reasons, there is no need to think about it.
At this time, the murloc slave was not in a hurry to make a move, silently adjusting his breath.
A lead bullet stopped the charge of the murloc slave, and Maude threw aside the [Usoop] who had emptied the lead bullet.
“Even though you are a murloc, I, Arthur, have never liked taking advantage of others.”
Maude raised his head slightly, and the eyes in the hole in the mask stared at the body of the murloc slave.
“I see that your injury is quite serious, and you are in a mess because of your escape, so I will give you a five-minute break.”
“…”
The murloc slave suddenly opened his eyes.
I see.
No wonder the gun missed deliberately just now.
Humph, boring character.
This is how human beings are particularly stupid.
five minutes?
It takes less than three minutes to adjust it.
The murloc slave thought to himself, adjusting his breath.
How could he wait for five minutes when his breath recovered?
Take the shot directly, and then leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Maude looked at the murloc slave who was trying to recover his breath, and said with a serious face: “I will not kill the unknown under the sword, and report your name.”
After speaking, he raised his dagger and lay in front of him.
The murloc slave glanced at the dagger and couldn’t help but sneered.
Even if he was injured, as long as it was a close combat, he had the confidence to kill the human with only a dagger in front of him in an instant.
“Heaton Sam.”
The murloc slave quietly reported his fame without even thinking about it.
I wanted to add another ruthless sentence, but felt unnecessary.
Anyway, we can squeeze the head of this self-proclaimed justice and noble human.
“Heaton Sam, right?”
Maude smiled and looked closely at the outline of the blood-stained face of the murloc slave.
After a while, Maude suddenly stepped back and put away his dagger.
The murloc named Sam was stunned when he saw this, and didn’t know what medicine was sold in Maude’s gourd.
After putting away the dagger, Maude directly summoned the Hunter’s Note.
“Huh? Is it a devil fruit capable person?!”
Seeing Maude conjure a notebook out of thin air, Sam realized the sense of crisis in vain, and no longer adjusted his interest rate, and decisively rushed towards Maude.
Maude was in a state of danger, like a judge, holding a quill pen to quickly write Sam’s name on the page and the amazing grip that he had previously shown in the battle.
“No matter what your ability is, just let me get close…!”
Sam raised his right hand when he rushed, his open webbed hand was ready to go, ready to squeeze Maude’s cheek with his bare hands after getting close.
Suddenly, his face changed drastically.
Only saw that the notes that Maude was holding in his hand suddenly disappeared, and he took out a flintlock pistol from his clothes instead.
boom–
Maude pulled the trigger.
A shot hit Sam in the body.
The blood sprung up, and the impact of the lead bullet shocked Sam’s body, and then stopped.
“You…!”
Sam fell to the ground in disbelief.
Maude then took out a second flintlock pistol and shot Sam’s body.
“Shameless Arthur, Arlong will definitely kill you…”
Before he finished speaking, Sam died.
“Arlong?”
Hearing Sam’s cruel words before his death, Maude raised his brows.
