Servais turned to look at Maud and the others, his face tensed and a little nervous.
"Mr. Yixiao, what are you..."
"Brother Servais."
Philo intervened in time, interrupting Servais's words.
Servais glanced away and looked at Philo, who wore a crow mask on his face, with a flash of joy in his eyes.
"Dr. Philo, are you okay?"
"What can happen to me? But this fierce old man must have been called here by you, right?"
Philo clenched his fists and looked at the man with a smile. The latter raised his finger and scratched his forehead, thinking: Am I very old
"Well… "
Servais was speechless.
On the sidelines, Mod and the others looked at Servis's reaction, and they finally understood the reason why Yixiao came to Lore Island to cause trouble for them.
So…
What to do now
Maud sighed inwardly.
This group of marines can't stop them yet, but if they don't let them go with a smile, then they can only stay where they are.
Speaking of which, this group of marines laughed out loud, but it was a strange combination of circumstances that saved Maude and the others.
Thinking of the few shots Piupiu took from Doflamingo just now, this knot is getting deeper and deeper.
It's unclear how good Yixiao's relationship is with this group of marines, but Mod doesn't want to be too passive.
He ignored the presence of Servis and other marines, looked at him with a smile, and said seriously: "Uncle, if you don't let us go, you don't want to hand us over to these marines, right?"
"Can't!"
Without waiting for Yixiao's reaction, Philo stood directly in front of Servis and other marines.
Although his expression was obscured by the crow mask, his excited tone directly revealed Philo's emotions.
When Servais saw this, his expression was slightly bitter and helpless.
With their strength, how could they have the confidence to attack the Mod Pirates
If it weren't for Yixiao's presence, they would never have been able to come directly opposite the Mod Pirates.
Yixiao "looked" at Maude who was close in front of him with a calm expression. He twitched the corner of his mouth and did not answer Maude's words. Instead, he showed a smile with unknown meaning.
“…”
Maud raised an eyebrow.
after an hour.
On the large flat ground in the center of the village, many marines were sitting or squatting.
Each person held a bowl of fungus broth in their hands.
Surrounded by enthusiastic villagers.
This village is the village where Maud and the others are about to wipe out the tail of the plague.
And this group of villagers has escaped Lafayette's hypnotic state.
The reason why they are so enthusiastic now is purely because of the golden sign of the navy and the navy's stated intention to help their village solve the plague.
He sat down on the floor with a smile, held a bowl and took a big sip of the broth that Jia Ya had stewed.
At the end, as a noodle expert, he raised his head slightly, exhaled a breath of hot breath, and said with emotion: "It would be a pity not to add some noodles to such a fresh soup."
Maude, who had taken off her protective clothing, sat cross-legged across from Yixiao, looking down at the steaming broth in the bowl.
While Jia Ya was cooking soup, through Yixiao and Philo's explanations, Maud finally figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.
First of all, Servais and the navy are pure righteous forces. Even if they are not within the scope of their duties, they will take the initiative to provide assistance to Lore Island.
This kind of attitude of risking one's life for strangers made Servais's branch navy appreciated by Yixiao who traveled around.
Under this premise, it happened that Mod and the others came to Lore Island.
Because of Maude's poor reputation outside, she was called a cold-blooded butcher.
Therefore, Servais was afraid that the Mod Pirates would be detrimental to the residents of Lore Island, and he was not sure about dealing with the Mod Pirates, so he invited Yixiao, who had been staying at the branch base for a while.
Yixiao is the kind of person who hates evil as much as he hates it. If he is entrusted with something, he will naturally not refuse.
However, he and Servais never imagined that the infamous Mod Pirates, who once slaughtered a town, would actually solve the plague for the residents of Lore Island for free.
After seeing it with my own eyes, I smiled and changed my mind.
After Servais confirmed the matter on the spot, he added Philo's strong praise for what the Mod Pirates had done during this period.
After a slight change in his view of the Mod Pirates, he no longer had the idea of becoming an enemy of the Mod Pirates.
Like Yixiao, he regards solving the plague as the most important thing.
After figuring out the cause and effect, Maud's only feeling was... afraid.
While waiting for the members of the Heart Pirates to come and join together, if it weren’t for this [good deed] of solving the plague on Lore Island.
Doflamingo doesn't need to take action, just a smile is enough to destroy them all.
It was precisely because of this [good deed] that Yixiao even took the initiative to block the threat from Doflamingo for them.
Do good intentions pay off...
Maud had mixed feelings.
Later, he also knew Yixiao's motive for leaving them behind.
That is - continue to solve the plague on Lore Island.
When Yixiao made this request, his attitude was very low, and there was no behavior that a strong man should have.
This is truly a man full of humanity.
In any case, Maud had no reason to refuse.
"Uncle Yixiao, even if Servais lies to the Navy Headquarters that we have left Lore Island, the Navy who has already come from the Navy Headquarters may not turn around and go back directly, right?"
"No need to worry."
After drinking the last sip of soup with a smile, he said solemnly: "I am asking you to stay and continue to help the residents of the island. During this period, I will not let anyone disturb you."
"Hmph, this is decent."
On the side, Philo muttered softly.
Smiled and pretended not to hear.
At this time, Bailey came to Yixiao holding a bowl of broth with noodles.
"Here you go, broth with noodles."
"Oh, this is really..."
He took the bowl with a smile, his eyes slightly opened, a look of surprise on his face.
Bailey picked her nose and grinned: "Sister Jia Ya said, as long as you have food-related requests, you're welcome, just ask!"
"Thank you."
He raised his head with a smile and faced the figure guarding the cauldron in the distance.
It can be said that hearing with the ears is not as good as seeing with the eyes.
Even though he can't see with his eyes, he can discern everything with his mind's eye.
... ... ... .
In order not to let external factors interfere with solving the plague.
Servais did not hesitate to lie to the Navy Headquarters that the Mod Pirates had left Lore Island.
For this reason, a warship departing from the Navy Headquarters and led by a lieutenant general had no choice but to wait for the news after learning this information.
If there is further news about the movements of the Mod Pirates, the warship will turn directly.
If not, then we can only return.
From beginning to end, the Navy Headquarters did not doubt the authenticity of the intelligence provided by Servais.
But just a few days later.
The information about the Mod Pirates on Lore Island spread throughout the underground world.
The navy, which has spies in the underground world, naturally learned this information.
Somewhere in the sea.
A blue pheasant rides a bicycle and drives leisurely on the sea.
The sea surface behind the wheel is an ice road that is so long that there is no end in sight.
"Lol Island... Tsk, what a coincidence."
Qing Pheasant looked into the distance, freed up a hand and rubbed his chin.
Chapter 106: Center of the Vortex
After the battle in Mad Hatter Town, Maud, who had been silent for eight months, burst into the public eye with an unscrupulous attitude.
Vaguely, there is a momentum to replace last year's Fire Fist Ace and become the new center point of the whirlpool.
This statement is not an exaggeration.
In the past years, if no major events occurred, some dazzling new stars who emerged from the sky would always attract attention from all walks of life.
Last year it was Fire Fist Ace. After entering the Grand Line, he became famous in just a few months, attracting the continued attention of the Yonko and the Admiral of the Navy.
For a whole year, the world has been paying attention to the future of Fire Fist Ace.
It wasn't until Fire Fist Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates that this kind of targeted attention had the momentum to disappear.
According to the development of the original plot, this year should be Cavendish's highlight year.
In half a year, Cavendish will enter the new world in the second half of the Grand Line with a bounty of 280 million.
By then, his shining debut will shock the world.
Unfortunately, the emergence of Maude is destined to curb Cavendish's brilliant future.
Those journalists who had heard the news no longer focused all their energy on Cavendish because of Maud's existence.
Coupled with Dede Turkey's "fanning the flames" from time to time, the lights that should have been focused on Cavendish naturally shifted to Maude.
In such an environment, Sengoku, as the marshal of the navy, has always paid close attention to these dazzling new stars who have a strong presence.
However, the three generals in the navy did not care much about the endless stream of new pirates.
Kizaru is, and so is Akainu.
The same should be true for Aoki Pheasant.
However, because of the Mad Hatter Town incident and Maude's activity during this period, Aoki Pheasant will pay more or less attention to information related to Maude.
For example, Peach Rabbit suffered a lot from Maude recently.
In contrast, the senior in the headquarters who likes to eat senbei seems not to care about the threat that Mod may bring in the future.
As for the blue pheasant, it actually doesn't matter.
Among the people who participated in the Mad Hatter Town incident, Peach Rabbit was the only one who was very persistent with Maud.
"Well, want to go for a walk?"
Qing Pheasant stopped stepping and stepped on the ice with his right foot, his eyes showing contemplation.
He thought to himself that it wasn't far anyway and there was nothing to do, so he might as well take a look.
After making his decision, he turned the car slightly.
Suddenly, a sea king species rushed out of the sea, staring at the blue pheasant with its red eyes.
"Ring-ling—"
