Chapter 82: Advancing City Prisoners with Sincerity
"Those keys, could they be..."
Regarding the question raised by the level 1 prisoner, Wood did not choose to answer. Instead, he walked to a nearby cell, directly selected the numbered key, and inserted it into the keychain...
At this moment, all the prisoners on Level 1 fell into a state of silence, staring directly at Wood's movements.
With a "squeak" sound, the iron cell door was slowly opened. At the moment when the iron cell door was opened, all the prisoners in level 1 fell into a state of ecstasy.
"Kid... no, boss, as long as you are willing to rescue me, you will be my boss from now on!"
"Boss, look here, I am a famous pirate in the East China Sea. As long as you are willing to rescue me, I will be your lackey from now on."
"It's just the weakest sea, and I can't say it's a big pirate. Boss, I'm from the West Sea. If it weren't for my bad luck, I would definitely have a place in the sea now.
As long as you are willing to let me out, I will definitely serve you in the future, and before I was imprisoned in Impel Down City, I also hid a bunch of treasures. As long as I get out, I will definitely give them all to you."
"You fart, you're a newbie pirate and you have fart treasure, and you just saved this kid..."
Seeing that the key in Wood's hand can really open the cell door, the prisoners on the level 1 floor looked at Wood with eyes that were as hot as high-temperature lava.
Although they don't know why Wood, a navy man, is doing such a thing now.
But in the current situation, who cares about these things?
Right now, the Golden Lion Shiji has attracted most of the combat power in Impel Down City. Their level 1 is the floor closest to the exit. As long as they get rid of the iron cage in front of them, they basically have a ticket to freedom.
And because Wood now holds the key, he has naturally become a hot commodity in the eyes of everyone, causing them to scramble to increase their chips one by one.
"I think everyone should have noticed that after I release you, I will definitely not be able to serve as a naval officer.
And it's also a job of licking blood from the edge of a knife. Compared with the salary in the navy, why not be a free pirate?
When I escape from here, I plan to form a pirate group. As for the members... I think everyone should know my intention.
Of course, after the pirate group is established, if you want to be a cadre, it depends on your own sincerity."
As soon as Wood finished speaking, the prisoners at level 1 naturally signed up enthusiastically as if they were on fire. Some even gave out their treasure hiding locations in order to express their loyalty and increase their competitiveness.
If Wood releases them without asking for anything, the prisoners are worried that he has ulterior motives.
Seeing Wood's greedy appearance now, the prisoners were obviously more relieved.
The released prisoners, after leaving their cells, breathed the air called freedom and had excitement on their faces.
In addition to being excited, they turned their attention behind Wood, with sinister expressions on their expressions.
In the iron cage before, they had no choice but to bow to Wood, but now that they are out, who will take what they said before seriously?
Judging from his age, Wood is at most a brat under twenty, and they were also people who were rewarded by the navy before. Who would be willing to listen to a brat who is still young.
More importantly, in order to gain Wood's trust, the treasure hiding place they just gave him was real. If Wood really left here, wouldn't all their wealth be lost?
Wood hadn't turned back yet, but "Seeing and Hearing Color Haki" had already sensed the small movements of the prisoners behind him.
So before these prisoners took action, Wood spoke again without looking back: "Although you have escaped from the iron prison now, the iron chains on your feet have not been untied yet.
Moreover, the area around the impel city is a windless zone, inhabited by a large number of sea kings. Without navy warships, it would be difficult for us to leave.
But don’t worry too much, I have already made complete preparations for this. Currently, I am a lieutenant commander in the navy, and I happen to have the right to recruit a warship. As long as you are willing to mix with me, I guarantee that you will be able to escape from here successfully."
From the beginning, Wood never believed the lies told by these Impel Down prisoners.
I am not the great god Bucky, I have the aura of group wisdom, and I am a rebellious pirate. Why would the other party be convinced by Wood just because he saved them?
It wouldn't matter if he was a strong man with incredible strength. The problem is that in their eyes, Wood is just a naval scum who loves to take advantage of others and takes advantage of opportunities.
However, Wood did not jump out to change their views on themselves. After all, everyone is mutually exclusive.
The prisoners at level 1 wanted to use Wood to escape from the Impel Down City, and then kill themselves, and Wood wanted to use them to complete the mission, and then get rid of this group of garbage on the sea.
When he heard what Wood said without looking back, the prisoner who was originally ready to take action suppressed his desire to kill Wood, and his sinister expression once again changed to a flattering one.
"As expected of the captain, he is really thoughtful, but since the captain has the ability to get the key to the cell, why doesn't he want to get the key to the anklet as well?
This will make our movements inconvenient, and if a battle breaks out later, our strength will be affected to some extent."
Because of what Wood just said, the prisoners have temporarily given up their murderous intentions towards Wood, because if they want to get a navy warship, Wood's current status as a navy lieutenant commander is indispensable.
And because the iron chains on their feet did have some impact on their combat power, they opened their mouths to test again, asking Wood if he had the key to the anklet, or if he knew where the key was.
"The key to the anklet is carried by Prison Chief Saludes with him. Don't think about it. I have already spent a lot of effort to get the key to the cell."
And is this really the case? Of course not, the key to the anklet is actually placed next to the key to the iron prison.
As for why Wood didn't help the prisoners in Impel Down to unchain them, is there any need to say? Naturally, it was because they were restrained and it would be easier to deal with them later.
No one knows better than these prisoners what kind of place Impel Down is, so what Wood said, even the Level 1 prisoners do not doubt that he is involved.
Wood, a navy man, was able to obtain the key to the cell in Impel Down City, which really impressed them.
There were many prisoners in level 1, but Wood finally released only about 150 prisoners. Most of these released prisoners were those who were "sincere".
