Long stared at Maude, slowly suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "The enemy we want to defeat is neither the navy nor the world government, but... the Celestial Dragons."
“…”
Maud narrowed her eyes slightly and said nothing.
When posing the question to him, Long used the term revolutionary army.
Now we refer to ourselves as "we".
This is Long's statement and his intention.
Obviously, the leader of the revolutionary army valued Mod's power very much.
On the contrary, if the goals and interests are consistent, if Mod wants to take action against the Draco and the World Government, there is no reason not to join forces with the Revolutionary Army.
Although he has seen the dragon's intention, Maude does not want to express his position yet.
However, Long's words were most likely sincere and not just to seek cooperation with him.
The deformity of power in this world is the existence of the Celestial Dragons.
It is obviously useless, but it is as deep as the roots of a tree at the apex of power.
The World Government, which has tentacles all over the world, and the Navy Headquarters, which is tacitly recognized as the overlord of the sea, all serve the Celestial Dragons.
so-
As long as the Tianlong people are wiped out, it is equivalent to overturning the table and letting everything be reshuffled.
That is to say—
Rather than replacing the World Government, what the Revolutionary Army wants to achieve is to completely defeat the self-proclaimed gods of the Celestial Dragons.
Seeing that Maud was silent, Long turned to mention Moyu.
"We are very sorry about Moyu... I have also heard from Sabo about the specific situation. There is no doubt that Wulaoxing wants to use Moyu's safety to deal with you, but I am convinced that no matter what dangers and difficulties we face, You can make the best decision.”
"You really have full confidence in me."
Maude looked at Long in surprise, and then suddenly said without any explanation: "I agree to cooperate. After all, judging from the current situation, we can say that we have the same goal, and there is no reason not to cooperate."
"Um?"
Long was slightly startled.
Originally, seeing that Maude had not expressed his stance, he felt that this meeting might not lead to results immediately.
So he was ready to come to Maude next time.
Unexpectedly, Maude changed the subject—
Even before he formally proposed cooperation, he suddenly agreed to cooperate.
What an unpredictable man.
"good."
However, Long's reaction was quick enough and he nodded in agreement.
"Then, let's discuss the relevant cooperation matters in detail after you finish handling your personal matters."
For Long, as long as the cooperative relationship can be confirmed, there is no need to worry about when to start taking action.
Besides, he saw that Maud was not in the mood for the time being...
"Well, I won't send it."
Maud smiled and drove them away.
Long didn't care. His body turned into a breeze and left the canteen.
Creak, creak—
The wooden door of the canteen was blown by the wind.
But it only fell silent for a moment.
Maude calmly looked at the open door of the cafeteria.
Now that we have decided to take action against the World Government, an alliance with the Revolutionary Army is an inevitable result.
But such a hasty decision was unexpected.
"Monkey D. Dragon..."
Maud raised her hands to support her cheeks and whispered to herself.
Judging from personality and appearance -
It's hard to believe that the man leading the revolutionary army would be the son of Straw Hat Luffy's father, the naval hero Garp.
It doesn't look like it at all. Instead, it gives people a sense of déjà vu that has been passed down from generation to generation.
But now it seems that the casualness in the bones is really similar.
"Since we have decided to join forces, then... it will be a success if we don't succeed."
"This will be the first general attack on the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, and it will also be the last. No one can survive alone."
Maude picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.
On the day of the attack on the holy land of Mariejoia, he didn't want to see the dragon stay aloof.
Only by doing it yourself can you be worthy of this cooperation.
After a while.
Sabo returned to the cafeteria.
Although it was an excuse to leave, he actually came back with a wine glass.
Seeing that the dragon was gone, he didn't care much and sat down.
"Maud, what did you talk about?"
"Nothing to talk about."
Maud said casually.
"oh."
Sabo looked unbelieving and raised his glass to take a sip of wine.
Mod then said: "That's just the alliance relationship established."
"puff."
Sabo spit out a mouthful of old wine.
With a few digits, Maude used the power of concussion to shake away the wine sprayed by Sabo.
"I'll just leave for a while, and then you guys will just...are you sure?"
"Um."
Maud nodded slowly.
Sabo's mouth was open with shock on his face.
He really didn't see it...
Are these two men, listed as the number one enemies by the World Government, such casual types
That night.
Maud was writing at her desk.
He is writing the character "生".
But not the words of this world, but Chinese.
And the style of font structure tends to be artistic.
Maude wrote it over and over again, but she was not very satisfied.
Bailey and Qiu Shui looked on with confusion on their faces.
They don't know Chinese.
About half an hour later.
When Luo came to find Maud, he saw black and white writing all over the floor.
"Huh? Is this ancient writing?"
He picked up a piece of paper written in Chinese and was a little curious.
Chapter 538 The meaning of existence
The Chinese character "生" is different from all the characters Luo knows.
Although it doesn't look like ancient writing, Luo's guess can only be inclined to this aspect.
"Let's leave it at that."
Maude felt that it was too troublesome to explain, so she simply followed Luo's guess and classified this new character directly into the ancient characters that Luo knew.
He slowly put down his pen and looked down at the new words he had just written.
Compared with the waste paper I wrote before, the new words written this time are much more pleasing to the eye.
It is not just about pursuing elegant beauty, but about turning the weight of life into powerful strokes.
Hearing Maude's answer, Luo's face was filled with surprise.
"Maud, how come you know ancient writing..."
"Isn't it just the same word I learned from Robin? Look how surprised you are."
Maud then came up with a random excuse.
"Well… "
Luo thought of Robin who had stayed on the Terror Barque for a while, and realized that he had been too surprised.
He looked away from Maud with some embarrassment, and at the same time changed the topic to the word "生".
"Then what does this word...mean?"
"born."
Maude handed Luo the newly written word on her hand.
Luo was slightly startled, then walked over and took the paper handed over by Maude.
Looking down, the new characters on the paper that were still written on the paper were obviously more powerful and more pleasing to the eye at the end of the strokes compared to the new characters on the piece of paper that I just picked up.
"Sheng... is there any meaning in writing this word?"
Luo raised his head and looked at Maud.
"The life of life is the life of doctors."
Maud explained with a smile.
When Luo heard this, his eyes slowly opened wide and he said blankly: "So this word is..."
"Well, I wrote it for you."
Maud smiled.
This is the code name he prepared for Luo.
Chinese, new words.
Later, he would ask Tezzolo to engrave this word on a solid gold ring, giving it the name of a token.
Anyway, like Lafayette and the others, Maude will prepare a Chinese character specially for them.
It represents identity, status, and relationship.
This is the meaning of the token.
"Compared with the title 'Surgeon of Death,' I think the word 'life' is more suitable for you. When we return, let Tezzolo engrave this word on the solid gold ring."
“…”
Luo looked at Maude blankly, his heart filled with excitement.
