After arriving at the Chambord Islands, Lafayette will land on the Red Continent alone and wait for the start of the Shichibukai Conference.
Until then, Maude will stay in the Chambord Islands to wait for Lafayette to finish, and he and Jaya can visit Raleigh during this time.
As for Jim and the others, they stayed behind to guard the terrifying three-masted ship.
Considering the manpower problem, Mod left the Hades in the terrifying three-masted ship, and instead drove away the unknown pirate group's ship that was stranded in the dock in the inner bay of the terrifying three-masted ship.
In this way, there would be no need to leave a person to guard the ship after arriving at the Chambord Islands.
Before setting sail, Maud actually had no intention of letting Brooke follow.
However, Brooke had been wandering in the Devil's Triangle for so long, and when he heard that he was about to go to sea, he was so excited that he kept spinning around.
Seeing Brooke's excitement and disorientation, Maude was too embarrassed to let Brooke stay behind on the terrifying three-masted ship, so she could only take him with her.
The ship sailed smoothly in the thick fog.
Maud was sitting on a lounge chair on the bow deck, holding a book with a slightly yellowed cover.
"Traders who know how to make 'life cards' can only be found in the New World."
Maude closed the old book she had received from Perona and muttered to herself.
The traveling merchant in his words was a small wooden boat wandering around the waters of the New World.
People on wooden boats will often sell some strange products with various functions to passers-by. They even sell special shells from Sky Island.
In addition to selling goods, there is also a business of helping people make life cards.
In order to accurately locate the direction and location in the thick fog of the Devil's Triangle, Moder needed several life cards that could point the direction.
In a sense, in terms of the function of locating direction and position, the life card is better than the recording pointer that relies on the magnetism of the island.
Especially in an environment like the Devil's Triangle, the role of the record pointer is basically zero.
Rumor has it that there was once a great pirate who hid a large amount of looted treasure on an unnamed island in the Grand Channel that was magnetically disordered and could not be recorded.
The method he used to confirm the location of the island was to place a tool man with a life card on the unnamed island.
In this way, under the premise that the record pointer is invalid, the big pirate can use the guidance of the life card to find the island where the treasure is hidden.
This operation, which sounds quite sexy, makes Mod also want to get a few life cards that serve as positioning effects, so as to perfectly take advantage of the geographical advantages of the Devil's Triangle.
Ten days later.
Maud and his party finally arrived at the Chambord Islands.
The ship that came aboard was randomly anchored on the Arqiman Tree Island numbered 8.
"By the way, where is the bar where Rayleigh is..."
Maud stood at the railing of the ship, rubbing her chin.
In my memory, I only vaguely remember that the name of the bar is related to the word "rip-off".
With such a distinctive name, if you ask a few locals on the island, you should be able to find the location of the bar quickly.
"Ta-ta..."
Before Mod and the others had time to get ashore, a group of people carrying knives and guns came in force.
This group of people is a slave-catching team specifically targeting the captain of the pirate group.
In the slave trading market of the Shampoo Islands, the captain of the pirate group has always been a commodity with good response and sales.
Because the group of upper-class nobles who are keen on acquiring slaves often bring their purchased pirate captain's merchandise to social gatherings.
As for the reason, it was naturally to show off his ability to trample an unknown pirate captain under his feet for just spending a little money.
That's what their needs are.
And if there is demand, there will be buying and selling.
This group of slave catchers arrived in a fierce manner and immediately looked at the flag of the pirate ship anchored on the shore.
"That's right, it's the flag of the Tile Pirates."
"Hey, the bounty for the captain of this pirate group is 42 million, so we can sell it for a good price."
"Kids, give it to me... eh?"
Suddenly, the leader of the slave-catching team saw Mod and the others standing on the side of the ship.
"That is… ?"
Suddenly, the leader, who was as strong as a bear, opened his eyes wide, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
"Bacardi Mod, who has a bounty of 500 million, why... is he on the ship of the China Tile Pirates???"
Seeing this unbelievable scene, the leader was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, his body shaking like chaff.
On the other hand, the slave catchers who came with him all looked frightened and turned to stone on the spot.
"What a coincidence."
Maud glanced over, jumped down, and landed in front of the slave-catching team.
This move immediately made the group of people collapse to the ground in fear like dominoes.
It’s over…
Everyone in the slave-catching team burst into tears on the spot.
Chapter 142 We have offended you
The target he is obviously looking for is the captain of the Porcelain Tile Pirates, who has a bounty of 42 million.
However, the person who jumped off the ship was the man of the hour - Bacardi Mod, who had a bounty of 500 million.
Everyone in the slave-catching team collapsed on the ground, their faces pale and their bodies cold.
How could this kind of bad luck happen to them, which has lasted them half a lifetime
I just wish that before I went out in the morning, why not just step on a piece of bubble dog poop, break my leg, and lie in the hospital to recuperate
Wow—
Guns, knives, etc., were thrown aside by the members of the slave team.
"sorry!!!"
The strong desire to survive made the usually domineering leader squat on the ground, hoping that Maud, who was walking towards them, would raise his hand and let them go.
Even though they haven’t done it yet…
"sorry!!!"
"sorry!!!"
Seeing the boss taking the lead in apologizing, other members of the slave catching team present followed the formation without hesitation.
Their structure is limited to about 50 million pirate captains.
However, there is an extra zero in this notorious evil star in front of him. Let alone taking action, even if he takes one more look at the real person, he will feel that his life is too long.
But luckily, their special code hit the muzzle of the gun.
Maude looked at the group of slave-catchers who were lying on their hands and knees, except for the slave-catchers who had a white flag on their back collars.
They haven't even started communicating yet, why are they all kneeling down
Maude raised her brows slightly, looked back at the unknown pirate flag flying on the top of the mast behind her, and suddenly understood.
Instead of coming over on the Hades, they brought these guys into the pit.
Speaking of which, the captain of the pirate group is indeed a commodity that is often seen in the slave market of the Chambord Islands and is relatively easy to sell.
After all, the Chambord Islands are the terminus of the first half of the Great Waterway and the only way to enter the new world.
Therefore, all pirate groups that follow the route will eventually arrive at the Chambord Islands, and then become the targets of slave-catching teams and bounty hunters.
Whether each pirate group can set off from here to the Fishman Island 10,000 meters under the sea is not mentioned for the moment. As long as they stay on the Chambord Islands for a minute longer, they will have to face potential threats from slave hunting teams and bounty hunters. threaten.
It was precisely the activity of these slave-catching teams and bounty hunters that made many pirate groups who finally arrived at the Chambord Islands feel resentful.
To them, the wanted pirate is not a human being, but a walking Bailey.
Relying on the activity of the slave-catching team and bounty hunters, the navy stationed at Arqi Manshu Island No. 60-69 became much more relaxed.
The usual task is to strengthen security patrols in various areas except for lawless areas.
As long as the pirate group arriving here is calm and low-key, the navy on the island will basically turn a blind eye.
This is the general situation of the Chambord Islands.
Maud knew something about this.
When I came here this time, I brought a lot of jewelry and gold scraped from Moria Castle.
Before visiting Rayleigh, Mod planned to cash out these jewels and gold, and then find a time to go to the slave market to see if there were any suitable slaves for the captain of the pirate group.
For him, exchanging money for experience points is nothing more than a routine operation.
Maude had a clear idea, looked down at the group of slave catchers lying on the ground in front of him, smiled and asked: "Why do you need to apologize?"
“…”
Everyone in the slave-catching team was startled when they heard this.
yes.
Why apologize
Obviously they didn't do anything.
No, I didn’t come to trouble Maud in the first place.
Thinking of this, everyone in the slave-catching team felt sad, feeling full of grievances and nowhere to put it.
But,
Even if it feels reasonable, it will never work in front of pirates, let alone the notorious Maud.
"Because, because... we have offended you."
The leader raised his head with difficulty to look at Maude. When he spoke, his lips trembled and the color drained away.
Maude glanced at this guy's lush hair and smiled: "No offense, but since you have chosen to give up your weapons, you should do it more thoroughly and don't leave the flintlock in your hair. And you... "
As he spoke, Maud glanced at the other members of the slave-catching team.
Hearing Mod's words, the leader suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He mechanically took out the flintlock hidden in his hair and threw it aside.
On the other hand, the other members of the slave-catching team also took out various types of firearms from the hidden places on their bodies, and then threw them to the ground.
"Usopp style, right?"
Maude looked at the thrown firearms without saltiness.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean it, we were just too scared..."
The leader was about to cry.
Faced with the high pressure of a 500 million bounty, his nerves were so tense that he accidentally forgot about the flintlock hidden in his hair.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the founder of Usopp-style... wasn't he the man in front of him
Due to emotions and reasons, he didn't dare to show off his Usopp style in front of the founder!
But the question is, will Maud believe it
Thinking of this, the leader became desperate.
If they had the ability to read emotions, they would certainly not be so nervous.
Because Maud didn't intend to do anything to them.
"Don't be so nervous. I won't do anything to you. It's just that we are new here and just... need a little help. You won't refuse, right?"
"No, absolutely not!"
The leader suddenly straightened up his upper body, raised his eyes to look at Mod, patted his chest vigorously, and loudly promised: "Don't ask for a little help, as long as you say a word, I, Udyr, can go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire!!!"
"Very well, answer me a question first."
"You say!"
"Is there a bar on this island with the word rip-off in its name?"
