The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

"Wow..."

"Wow..."

The waves rolled, and a medium-sized wooden barrel drifted on the sea towards a nearby island.

Ren Wenyue floated above the barrel, feeling a sense of absurdity and an uncontrollable smile.

"This gang of slaves and slave traders...are a perfect match."

Just now, he witnessed a wonderful escape drama.

After staying on the ship for almost two weeks, Mary's working hours have been determined, which is to clean the deck and dispose of garbage from eight in the morning to three in the afternoon.

Compared with the work of other slaves, because Mary was seriously injured and young, she was assigned the least amount of work.

In addition, Ren Wenyue had heard before that the leader of the slave trader, that gentleman, seemed to be in contact with someone of quite high status, and this batch of slaves was sent there. It was said that that person was very interested in Mary.

Therefore, Mary also received a lot of treatment. The human body in the world of One Piece is really amazing. If a little girl in the previous life suffered such terrible injuries, she would not be able to get out of bed for several months, but in the world of One Piece, she could not get out of bed in two weeks.

It's almost healed.

And it was precisely because of this that the slaves sent Mary away at this time.

The way they sent Mary away was also very simple, probably like this.

First of all, the slave traders' ships were not only transporting slaves. After all, they were sea ships that had to travel long distances. Therefore, they had to exchange supplies on the shore and on the islands along the way from time to time. Therefore, they also had a lot of food and wine on board for trade along the way.

Stuart's job is to manage the supplies on the deck around the clock after sunrise. He needs to take care of them one by one to prevent insects and the like.

Stuart took this opportunity to get a wine barrel that happened to be empty, half-covered the lid of the barrel, and hid it in the deepest part of the cargo.

Then, shortly after a boat of people left an island, they put Mary in a wine barrel and quietly pushed her into the sea from the stern of the boat.

The waves and currents of the ocean will wash Mary back to the shore, and the barrel's rise and fall in the water is completely synchronized with the waves, and will not cause other people to be alert like a person swimming.

Moreover, this time period happened to be the time when Mary was not working, so she could theoretically rest on the slave floor. Normally, the slave traders would not go to the slave floor to check if they had nothing to do, so Mary avoided the inspections of the slave traders.

The big reason why those adults can't escape is because they work around the clock. Once they leave, they will be discovered as soon as possible and will be captured soon. And when the work is over, they will be detained as soon as possible. They are not done at all.

Space for other operations.

And even with such a big time loophole, these slave traders just didn't notice it. The slaves' operations were not very delicate, and sometimes they made a lot of noise.

All I can say is that this is a truly wonderful pair of opponents.

"At least we won't find out that Mary is missing before nightfall..." Ren Wenyue looked at the beach not far away and murmured, "Even if they found out, they wouldn't have thought about how they sent Mary out...or they wouldn't have thought about how Mary was taken away.

Sent out."

"Mary basically escaped."

"but……"

Ren Wenyue couldn't help but frown.

There is another doubt.

"Who are the buyers of these slave traders..."

"I am not afraid of the Celestial Dragons at all, and I seem to be very interested in a Celestial Dragon slave..."

"The buyer behind the scenes is not simple."

Soon after, the barrel ran aground on the beach.

Stuart and the others designed propeller blades on the bottom of the barrel that can generate force from the inside, as well as barb-like spurs on both sides, so that the barrel can be hooked on the beach, and Mary can use force when needed.

to move the barrel.

Shortly after the barrel stopped, the lid of the barrel was opened from the inside.

Mary, whose whole body was soaked by the seawater splashing from time to time from the barrel lid, slowly got out of the barrel.

Don't think that wooden barrels can't sail. Back then, Luffy could float to the pirate ship with an ordinary wooden barrel. Today, I, Mary, can float to the coast with a modified wooden barrel. It's not a problem!

Mary, who was a little confused by the waves on the waves, staggered and pulled out two packages from the barrel.

One package contained a little treasure left by the former slaves, while the other package contained a few hardtacks, candies and other non-perishable food that the former slaves secretly gave Mary through frugality.

Mary wrapped the two packages without saying a word, and then walked to a path on the coast.

She remembered this island, which was the first island that slave ships arrived at. At that time, slave traders traded a lot of supplies here, so Mary knew very well that she should encounter a small town along the coast.

However, the length of this trail is not "small".

She walked along the road and walked for nearly three hours before passing through the dense forest. After that, a huge field appeared in front of her.

The wheat in the fields moves with the wind, the rivers shuttle through the fields, and there are windmills and a small village in the distance, slowly giving you the style of the Western European plains.

"This island is quite big."

Ren Wenyue looked at the scene in front of him and exclaimed. He even saw waterwheels, dandelions and other things mixed together. It was not dark now, it was just dusk, and under the rose-colored sunset, this scenery was simply beautiful.

Mary didn't think as much as Ren Wenyue. Although the scene in front of her was quite novel to her and looked extremely charming, she was just stunned for a moment and then trotted towards the small town in the distance.

No matter what, it's always good to meet people now. It's been so long since Mary Joa was born, and Mary has never slept alone in a deserted place.

When she ran all the way into the village, some of the surrounding villagers looked at the girl wrapped in black cloth with curiosity.

The black cloth was Hawkeye's cloak, and Mary wrapped it in circles around her body, and it has been wrapped around her until now.

"Little girl...where did you come from..."

A villager said hello, and Mary immediately responded politely:

"Uncle, I came from an island far away... Now I am going to a coastal town. It is already evening. Can I stay at your house for a night?"

"Oh, I see, you are going to Oriel Town."

The villagers nodded immediately, then pointed to a very conspicuous building and said:

"Travellers passing by can go and stay there. There are houses built for tourists like you in the village free of charge. You can stay there at night. Of course, you still have to pay for food and other things."

"Well, okay!"

Mary nodded and trotted towards the hotel.

The night passed peacefully.

At dawn, Mary hurriedly got up, packed her luggage, and ran in the direction pointed out to Mary by the villagers.

The reason why she was in such a hurry to go to that coastal town was because she hoped to find a way to get to the East China Sea.

Stuart had told her to find a man named Raven before, and she remembered it very clearly.

It's not that Mary wanted to be taken care of. In fact, she didn't think about it at all. However, because Mary herself received a gift from Stuart, Stuart gave her a gold medal and said that he would give it to Ray.

Wen, Mary did not regard this matter as Stuart's care for Mary, but as Stuart's entrustment to her.

When Stuart later said that the gold badge could be smashed and exchanged for money, Mary never considered it. Unlike the gifts given by others, Mary could clearly feel that this badge was not a simple treasure. So Mary planned to

According to Stuart's instructions, take this badge back to the East China Sea and bring it to the organization called [dark].

Just like when Jinbe took away her property in exchange for money, Mary didn't give away the white wax cross that Ivan gave her. Mary didn't care about pure property, and she didn't even know what money was. But she was concerned about all the things that had money.

Treasures with hidden meanings will attract unexpected attention.

To go to the East China Sea, you will definitely have to take a boat anyway. Therefore, Mary planned to go to a nearby seaside town before making plans.

"Hey, little girl!"

At this time, a voice came from behind Mary, and an old man came over to say hello to Mary.

He held several Baileys in his hand and handed them to Mary.

"Little girl, this is your reward for helping the village check the accounts."

The old man said with a smile.

This old man is the manager of the hotel. Last night, after Mary found the room and settled down with the help of this old man, she saw the old man worrying about a pile of bills.

Adhering to the principle of helping whoever can help, Mary stepped forward to inquire about the situation and learned that the village had to handle accounts recently, but the accountant who had previously agreed to come from the coastal town did not come as promised. There were not many in the village.

People who can read can't handle this stuff at all.

And Mary had a certain education. Although she couldn't check the accounts thoroughly, she could do some basic processing. So Mary helped the old man settle a lot of accounts.

And now the old man is here to pay.

"These things..."

Mary looked at the thin pile of Baileys and was stunned for a moment, then opened her luggage and put it away.

After hanging out for so long, she also knew that this thing called Bailey could be replaced with something else.

"Haha, the village can only use this money to comfort you, a little girl."

The old man smiled and touched his white beard, and then said earnestly:

"Be careful, Mary, there are bandits and beasts in the nearby mountains."

"Those wild beasts will not attack people walking on the road, but once you go into the woods, it is equivalent to invading their territory, and they will bite you."

"Recently, it seems that the bandits have a new leader from the pirates. They are very cruel. I heard that a village was massacred some time ago. The navy has heard the news and rushed here, but there is no result yet..."

"Anyway, you have to be careful when walking alone in the mountains, you know?"

"Well, okay, thank you, grandpa."

Mary nodded obediently, then turned around and ran towards the depths of the mountain.

"Well, this little guy..."

The old man looked at Mary's energetic back, shook his head, turned around with a smile, and walked back to the village.

In the mountains, Mary did not encounter the bandits that the old man mentioned. Instead, many wild beasts appeared and stared at Mary around the mountains and forests.

But maybe a tacit understanding has been formed between humans and beasts. When Mary was walking on the road, the beasts just stared at Mary.

When Mary walked to the roadside, the beasts immediately became energetic and approached Mary.

Of course Mary noticed it, so she walked in the middle of the road the whole time.

We arrived at the small town without any trouble.

When I got to the small town, a group of people gathered around me before I even went to ask anyone.

A group of people are either promoting or trying to please. In short, in the eyes of Ren Wenyue, a social veteran, there is only one word in the eyes of this group of people -

money.

There are people like this in every town, so it's not surprising.

But at this time, Mary's simple character gave full play to her advantage. She was not tricked into paying money like people usually do, but she didn't understand what these people were talking about at all.

In a daze, with Mary still confused, the group of people gradually dispersed. There were so many new businessmen, why bother catching a culprit? What's more, Mary didn't look that rich.

So after wasting a while, it was almost noon before Mary got out.

It was also time to eat. After looking around for a while, Mary walked to a stall.

The stall sells porridge

"These things..."

"Two hundred Baileys."

The boss immediately replied: "Meat porridge is worth two hundred dollars. It's better to eat a bowl of meat porridge at noon on a hot day than plain porridge."

"The price of two hundred beli..."

Mary muttered, opened the bag she used to carry her treasures, and took out the Bailey that the old man gave her in the morning to count.

Mary would only eat those dry foods as a last resort. Because Stuart and the others told her that these things could be stored for a long time, Mary thought about it briefly and knew that she should buy something to eat first to ensure that she would not starve to death.

After eating near the stall, Mary finally had time to ask about the situation.

However, in the small town with so many people coming and going, Mary felt a little dazzled.

Who should I ask...forget it, just ask the previous boss.

"Hello, boss."

Mary walked to the porridge shop, bowed politely and asked, "What should I do if I want to go to the East China Sea?"

"Go to the East China Sea..."

The boss was stunned for a moment when he saw that the little girl who had left just now came back so quickly. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"If you want to go somewhere else... why don't you go find the Beihai travel agency and ask?"

"If you want to take a boat to the East China Sea, that's the most convenient place."

“Where is Beihai Travel Agency?”

"Here."

The boss pointed to an alley in the distance and said:

"After entering that alley, turn left at the third intersection and go straight to the end."

"Okay, thank you boss."

After receiving the specific information, Mary thanked the boss and then quickly ran towards the so-called Beihai Travel Agency.
