Chapter 71: Wood Falling from the Red Earth Continent
"Boss Tiger, I think if you go back to help that brother now, you will die in vain. There is no other way except trusting him."
"That's right, Boss Tiger, when we escaped here before, we encountered a lot of pursuits.
Now if you plan to go back to meet that brother alone, you will completely let down that brother's good intentions."
On the edge of the Red Earth Continent, on a large and luxurious ship, a large number of murlocs and slaves escaped from the Holy Land Mariejoia, and they all gathered here at this time.
If you don't completely escape from the Red Earth Continent, you won't really escape. At this moment, everyone on the boat also looked sad.
Because they know very well that the longer time passes, the worse the situation will be for them.
Don't forget that although the Navy Headquarters is some distance from the Holy Land of Mary Joa, as long as you take the Navy's special passage, you can resist here in a short time.
Although they have now left Mariejoia, they are not completely out of danger. Once they are surrounded by warships from the Navy Headquarters, they may also be buried in the sea!
As for why the boat has been delayed in sailing, there is actually a reason for this, because the fish people did not agree.
The number of murlocs on the ship accounts for more than half, and to the people of other races here, the murlocs who rescued them are like benefactors.
The fishmen all listened to Fisher Tiger. Tiger said to wait for their benefactor. Naturally, no one dared to seek death and sail the ship first.
The waiting time passed slowly, dawn was coming, and even a dazzling light began to appear on the sea level.
Aaron thought that they could not wait any longer, otherwise none of them would be able to leave when the navy arrived, so he opened his mouth to persuade Tiger.
Tiger looked at the many compatriots on the ship and the rescued slaves, then looked up at the top of the Red Continent, and finally made the decision to let Jinbe and the others leave first, while he went to pick up Wood.
As Aaron said, once the warships from the Navy Headquarters arrived, in their current exhausted state, there was no possibility of escape.
The longer the delay is, the more dangerous it will be for everyone.
However, for Tiger, he also could not leave Wood, who had saved them before, to die.
In a dilemma, Tiger could only make this decision, letting Jinbe take the others and leave first, while he stayed to take care of Wood.
If Wood was not dead, even if there was no boat, it would not be difficult for fishmen of their level to escape.
And if Wood really dies unfortunately, Tiger will accompany Wood and die in the battle, which can be regarded as repaying the other party's life-saving grace.
Naturally, Jinbei and Aaron were firmly opposed to Tiger's decision. After all, Tiger was their idol and the hero of Mermaid Island.
If there was hope of rescuing Wood, they would naturally be willing to give it a try. However, going back now would undoubtedly be pure courting death.
Since a fish-man hero has been sacrificed, we should live up to the sacrifice made by the other party and work hard to survive.
It's a pity that no matter how reasonable and well-founded Jinbe and Aaron's words are, they have no effect at all on Tiger, who takes the lead in righteousness.
After pretending to be persuaded, Tiger took the time to knock down Jinbei and Aaron, and threw them on the boat. Then, with the boss's order, he asked the fishmen on the boat to start the boat.
Without Jinbei and Aaron who dared to challenge Tiger, the other fishmen were intimidated by the majesty of Tiger's boss, and in the end they could only declare to set sail with tears and gritted teeth.
After seeing the ship gradually leaving in the dawn light, Tiger looked at the towering red earth continent and planned to climb up again!
He Tiger will never let down his compatriots, let alone his benefactor!
The other compatriots have left safely, so he has nothing to worry about next.
And just when Tiger supported his tired body and started to climb up the Red Earth Continent again, a figure suddenly fell from above at a high speed, passed by Tiger who was climbing up, and fell directly into the
nautical miles.
In order to escape from the pursuing Wood, after knocking away the two CP0s, he ran all the way and quickly arrived at the place where Tiger and the others left.
The rope ladder had been lowered, which meant that Tiger and the others had left, which also made Wood breathe a sigh of relief.
When he saw a large number of pursuers behind him, Wood also jumped off the red soil continent...
For Wood, who has learned the "moon step", climbing slowly using a rope ladder is a choice only a fool would make.
However, Wood, who jumped off the red clay continent, somewhat overestimated his remaining physical strength and ignored his injuries.
"Moon Step" is one of the techniques that can only be mastered by ordinary people. When using it, it will naturally consume a lot of physical energy.
The Red Earth Continent is so high, and the injuries on Wood's body have already accumulated to a certain limit, so in the air about tens of meters above the sea, Wood finally fell into a coma due to exhaustion and injuries.
If you fall into the sea from a height of tens of meters, your life may be in danger for an ordinary person.
But this is pirate time, and common sense has no reference meaning at all here. Moreover, years of training have made Wood's physique far stronger than ordinary people.
The salty seawater entered Wood's lungs through his mouth and nose, directly suffocating him to wake up.
As a marine and not a Devil Fruit user, Wood naturally also has quite high-level swimming skills.
However, at this moment, Wood wanted to move his limbs, but found that his body could no longer squeeze out any strength. A strong sense of fatigue came over him, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
"If I had known that I would end up like this, I might as well have died fighting in the Holy Land of Mariejoia.
A drowned swordsman or something like that, this way of death is too frustrating, it will embarrass the time-traveling army..."
In his gradually blurring vision, Wood could see a red figure swimming towards him quickly. However, at this moment, Wood had no energy left to analyze what kind of creature it was. He slowly closed his eyes, his limbs weak.
The body is also sinking slowly...
Tiger, who had only climbed a few dozen meters onto the Red Earth Continent, saw a figure falling from above. Although it was just a glimpse, Tiger already recognized the figure as the swordsman brother from before.
So when he saw Wood falling into the sea, Tiger jumped directly into the sea from a height of dozens of meters on the Red Earth Continent without any hesitation.
Due to the erosion of sea water, the paint on Wood's skin has faded, and all the fins and other parts used for camouflage have also fallen off at this moment.
Tiger looked at the human boy in his arms. Although his expression was full of doubts, he still took Wood to the sea to take a breath, and then swam extremely fast and left this place of right and wrong!
