He will not interfere with Jia Ya's decision, but personally, he hopes that Jia Ya can go see the outside world instead of staying on Mengmeng Island for the rest of his life.
"Jabba..."
Jaya was still hesitating.
Jabba smiled and said: "The decision is in your own hands, no one can interfere."
Jia Ya couldn't help but remain silent.
Maude was slightly happy when she saw something was coming, but she didn't pursue it too closely, but let Jia Ya think about it.
Tens of seconds later, Jia Ya still shook her head.
Although she really wanted to see the outside world, she still resisted becoming a pirate.
Seeing that Jia Ya still refused, Maud was very disappointed.
However, Jia Ya has hesitated for so long, which is enough to show that she still wants to go to sea.
After all, is it still because of his identity as a pirate...
"Sister Ya, we plan to sail in the East China Sea for a while."
"Um?"
Jaya looked at Maud in confusion.
Maude said seriously: "Then, we will go to Mengmeng Island again next month. By then, if you change your mind..."
Jia Ya could clearly feel Mod's dedication to her, so she nodded slightly.
Maud smiled slightly when he saw this, and there was a possibility.
Afterwards, Maud said goodbye to Thor and the others, and then got on the boat with Bailey.
At Maud's signal, Lafayette lowered the sail.
The wind blew up the sails, and the boat slowly sailed out of the shallow water.
Watching the boat go away, Sunny's eyes sparkled and she waved goodbye vigorously.
Maude looked at Sunny, who was waving vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Sanny, intelligence is also a kind of power. If you go to the Revolutionary Army, don't slack off."
"Um!"
"Thor, smoke less and try to live a few more years!"
"Smelly boy..."
The boat gradually moved away.
In the end, it turned into a small black dot in the eyes of Sol and others.
Sol raised his head slightly, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and said leisurely: "I'm waiting."
... ... ...
On the sea, the boat moved slowly.
Bailey hid in the cabin.
The separation from Sunny made him a little listless.
Maud stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the endless sea ahead.
He was thinking about Sonny too.
If Sunny can grow up in the revolutionary army, then he will borrow the intelligence power that Sunny possesses in the future.
In return, he would lend his power to Sunny to use.
This was what they had agreed upon before parting.
Lafayette came to Maud's side and suddenly said: "Jia Ya is not suitable for boarding the ship."
Maude was quite surprised when she heard this and asked, "How do you say that?"
"Too much integrity."
Lafayette gave his reasons.
Maude was silent and nodded after a moment.
If she hadn't been too upright, Jaya would have been on the boat by now.
Lafayette said matter-of-factly: "Other than that, her strength and her so-called food supplements are indeed worth your efforts to win over."
Maude glanced at Lafayette, not wanting to dwell on the topic of Jaya. Anyway, she would go to Mengmeng Island again in a month, and we would know by then.
Compared to this…
"Lafayette, what does following me mean to you?"
“Hoo ho…”
Lafayette narrowed his eyes and pointed upward with his index finger.
“Go to the top and see the extraordinary view.”
"You are really...confident in me."
"Hoo ho."
Lafayette chuckled.
If that day comes.
Then, he will be the guide to the highest place!
For this reason, spending eight months with Maud on Monmoon Island is nothing.
This is what Lafayette really thinks.
... ... ... ... ..
Ten days later.
The boat came to the northwest of the East China Sea.
This is the sea area where the Dragon Pirates' stronghold is located.
And Mod's target is naturally the Dragon Pirates.
Chapter 4 You are... a fishman!
Mod spent three months on Mengmeng Island to raise his physique to three stars.
In the next five months, even with the support of Shibu Cuisine, the fourth star frame could not be condensed.
After all, if you want to improve your star level as quickly as possible, the only way is hunting.
The Dragon Pirates were Mod's first target after eight months of absence.
Maude was looking forward to this.
The small sailboat sailed on the sea with the wind.
Bailey lay on the cabin basking in the sun.
After many days of sailing, he was almost used to it.
At the bow of the ship, Maude looked at the outline of the land in the distance, her eyes full of expectation.
Lafayette held his chin, thinking about changing to a reliable mast ship as soon as possible.
With this small boat alone, let alone going to the Great Channel, if it encounters a storm in the East China Sea, it may be capsized by a big wave.
Thinking of this, Lafayette glanced at Maude.
This time I came specifically to cause trouble for the Dragon Pirates, maybe I could get enough money.
In order to come here, I also spent a lot of effort to get a few nautical charts with coordinates on the way.
Without these charts, even if Lafayette had good sailing skills and was unfamiliar with the East China Sea, it would be difficult for him to find the island where the Dragon Pirates were located.
Lafayette was preoccupied with the matter of changing ships, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Maud's motivation for insisting on coming here.
The East China Sea is truly the weakest sea among the four seas.
In such a vast sea area, the pirate with the highest bounty is only 20 million, which is Aaron, the leader of the Dragon Pirates.
In Lafayette's opinion, it is the most normal thing to trample the strongest pirate in the East China Sea under his feet the first thing he does when he goes to sea.
The so-called fame, one of the fastest shortcuts is to follow your peers.
Furthermore, Maude has been on Mengmeng Island for a full eight months since he was put on a bounty.
After disappearing for these eight months, from the outside world, Maude has probably become a missing person.
Therefore, this crusade against the Dragon Pirates can also be regarded as a signal flare for Mod's return to the public.
In addition, you can also grab a sum of money to exchange for a boat.
Lafayette figured out Mod's motive for coming to defeat the Dragon Pirates on his own.
Don't tell me, this kind of self-conception is reasonable and well-founded.
Maude didn't know what Lafayette was thinking. He looked at the island getting closer and closer, and his mind gradually became more active.
“Finally we can see the island!”
Bailey jumped onto Maude's shoulders, looking excited.
Bailey can only eat dry food these days, which makes Bailey very uncomfortable.
Now when I see the island, my first thought is to go there and eat and drink.
Lafayette observed the environment along the coast and then looked at Maude.
"Where to dock?"
As far as the eye can see, there are cliffs and beaches.
Given the size of their ships, there are only a few suitable landing locations.
But Lafayette did not make the decision without authorization, but asked Maud for her opinion as a subordinate.
"Just the beach over there."
"learn."
The small sailboat came to the shallow water.
Lafayette first furled the sails, then carried the boat and flew to the beach.
After flying over the shallow water, Lafayette slowly placed the boat on the beach and immediately folded his wings.
"It would be great if we could fly directly to the next island like this."
Bailey muttered softly, obviously preferring the feeling of being carried flying rather than bumping back and forth on the sea.
Lafayette pretended not to hear Bailey's muttering.
If he used this method of carrying a boat to fly instead of sailing, he might become the first member of the team to die from overwork.
Maud stepped off the boat and looked at her surroundings.
At the end of the beach is a sparse grove with a few trodden paths.
This is located in the east-northeast of the island, while the Dragon Pirates' stronghold is in the west-southwest.
The positions of the two are almost diagonal.
Maud deliberately walked around half a circle to this place in order to avoid the fish-men.
This choice of his was the only thing Lafayette couldn't understand.
Lafayette does not look down upon the Dragon Pirates, but he does not think that the Dragon Pirates are an enemy worthy of being treated with caution.
Therefore, there is really no need to be so careful.
Lafayette didn't ask any questions, and Maud couldn't take the initiative to explain.
The reason why he didn't want to be discovered by the Dragon Pirates was to go to Cocosia Village to contact Nami first, and then get more detailed information about the Dragon Pirates from Nami.
In order to increase profits as much as possible, this information is very important.
"Lafayette, take Bailey to the village to get something to eat."
