"Haqi, Jaya and Lafayette can do it too, and I don't even know what it is..."
Brooke's eyes dropped, he glanced at the sword, and silently thought to himself.
If you don't want to be held back, you must master the advanced skill called Haki as soon as possible.
Brooke secretly made up his mind.
After listening to Maud's personal story, Raleigh began to ask about the old guys.
After hearing Jaya talk about Jabbas having to become bald in old age, Rayleigh almost fell off his chair with laughter.
"That guy used to attach great importance to his hair. Sometimes he would laugh at me for having too little hair and not being handsome enough. I didn't expect that he would have no hair left at all, haha..."
Riley laughed until tears came out of his eyes.
Xia Qi glanced at Lei Li who was extremely happy, and while silent, he lit up another cigarette.
Old guys like them, who have reached their age, are naturally more willing to enjoy the joy once they touch the past, rather than being sad that time will never come back.
It's just that Xia Qi hasn't seen Rayleigh so happy for many years.
However, she could understand Rayleigh's mood.
Most likely just seeing Maud and Jaya would be enough to make Rayleigh's mind flood with those beautiful scenes from the past years of passion.
Thinking of this, Xia Qi smiled and raised his fingers to lightly shake the ashes.
When everyone was chatting, Xia Qi suddenly said: "Mod, you didn't come to the Chambord Islands to enter the new world."
"Um."
Maude nodded.
Xia Qixiao asked: "Is it for the position of Qiwuhai?"
Maude raised her eyes to look at Xia Qi, the surprise in her eyes fleeting.
He didn't intend to cover up the matter, but he didn't expect Xia Qi to guess it.
Xia Qi keenly caught Maude's fleeting surprise, and knew that the guess he had made through a lot of information was correct.
Rayleigh looked at Maud with some surprise. He obviously didn't know that Maud came to Shampoo Islands this time for the position of Shichibukai.
Being stared at by the two seniors, Mod admitted generously: "Yes, I did not attack Moriah for the sake of fame, but to directly replace Moriah's position in the Shichibukai."
Xia Qi chuckled and did not further inquire about Mod's motivation for wanting to become a Shichibukai. At the same time, he also determined that it would be a matter of time for Mod to succeed the Shichibukai.
Because the act of taking down Moria with one's own hands is itself the highest priority ticket to the position of Shichibukai.
This was also one of the important bases for her to deduce that Mod wanted to become a Shichibukai.
"Mode, before you take over the position of Shichibukai, you must first solve some minor problems on the island."
"for example?"
Maude looked at Shaqi curiously.
Xia Qi exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "In addition to you and Lafayette, seven other supernovae with bounties of over 100 million are also on the Chambord Islands this year."
"They actually arrived some time before you, but after they finished coating the ship, they did not go to Fish-Man Island immediately, but chose to stay on the island. Do you know why?"
Maude shook her head after hearing this.
The smile on Xia Qi's face grew wider, and he said seriously: "Because, they are waiting for you."
"Waiting for me specifically?"
Maud was quite surprised.
Before Xia Qi mentioned this, he had never paid attention to other supernovae at all. How could he have thought that other supernovae would stay in the Shampoo Islands to wait for him.
Xia Qi nodded and explained: "A newcomer who can become a supernova is not an easy person, and you are also a supernova. If you are too popular, you will naturally arouse their jealousy."
"Is this okay?"
Maud was drunk.
Xia Qi smiled and said: "They are in the limelight all the time, and you are in the limelight all the time. It's not surprising that this happens. They must have regarded you as a stepping stone."
"Yeah… "
Maude's eyes were strange, she pinched her chin, but suddenly laughed out loud.
"Aunt Xia, do you have detailed information about those guys?"
"Of course."
Xia Qi was originally a leader among intelligence agents, and since she retired, she has been paying attention to the newcomers over the years, and she has information about them at her fingertips.
When Maud heard this, she smiled even more happily.
"Can you sell me that information?"
“…”
Xia Qi looked at Maude in surprise.
I didn't expect that Maud would want this information.
She smiled and shook her head: "Don't say stupid things. I won't accept money from my lovely junior. If you want this information, just take it."
"Then I'm welcome."
Maude beamed.
... ... ...
Clothing store on Tree Island No. 47, Shampoo Islands.
Cavendish is trying on a set of elegant aristocratic clothes.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the store, narcissistically looking at his extraordinarily handsome self in the mirror.
On the side, the female shopping guides and even the women in the store who came to Cavendish were all jealous, intoxicated by Cavendish's handsome appearance and unable to extricate themselves.
Just then, a man rushed into the store.
"Captain, Maud is here!"
"Um?"
Cavendish's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became sharp in vain.
"Pay."
After saying a word to his subordinates, Cavendish walked through the crowd of women like the wind and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
The subordinate looked blankly at his captain who disappeared without a trace, and said with a dull expression: "I haven't said where he is..."
at the same time.
The supernovas in the Shampoo Islands learned the news of Mod's arrival on the island.
"It's finally here...!"
They were tired of waiting.
Chapter 147 How could it be... so far off
What Xia Qi said is true. If the limelight is too great, it will naturally attract fire.
The other supernovas on the Shampoo Islands indeed regarded Mod as a stepping stone that would allow them to break into the new world in the most dazzling way.
For this reason, they were even willing to take risks and stayed on the Chambord Islands to wait for Maud's arrival.
Now here comes Maud.
After learning the news, they all mobilized.
Tree Island No. 9.
In a wet open space oozing with bubbles, dozens of bodies were lying in good condition but with bleeding from their orifices.
"Quack, quack, quack...!"
Among the piles of corpses, a thin man with long hair covering his eyes laughed wantonly.
The laughter sounded quite harsh, like a duck being strangled by its neck.
In front of the thin man was a dark-skinned man sitting on the ground with a look of fear on his face.
"You are... Percy, the swordsman with a bounty of 200 million, we have nothing against you, why are you attacking us!!!" The dark-skinned man raised his head and stared in fear at Percy, who was laughing strangely.
"If you ask me why, of course it is..."
Percy slowly stopped his weird smile and lowered his head slightly. His long hair fell down from his forehead like vines, revealing a pair of cold eyes full of gray aura.
"To keep warm."
"Get, keep warm?"
The dark-skinned man's eyes widened, unable to understand what Percy meant.
Percy suddenly waved his arm, and a slender, cold light passed over the dark-skinned man's neck like lightning.
"I've said it so straightforwardly, why do you still act like you don't understand?"
Percy turned around.
A long, thin streak of blood appeared on the dark-skinned man's neck.
It seemed that the wave of the sword only slightly scratched the dark-skinned man's skin.
The dark-skinned man only felt a slight chill on his neck, but his body showed no abnormalities.
His eyes trembled, and when he saw Sword Percy turning his back to him, he decisively took out the flintlock pistol hidden in his boots and pointed the muzzle at Sword Percy's back.
"Go to hell!"
The dark-skinned man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his head issued a command to pull the trigger.
However, there was no feedback from the finger pressing on the trigger.
"Eh? I can't move..."
The dark-skinned man's eyes were blank.
Not only my fingers, I couldn't even move my eyelids.
The dark-skinned man looked at the back of Percy the Sword, and his vision suddenly blurred, and then fell into darkness.
Poof.
The dark-skinned man fell to the ground.
After a few breaths, some blood flowed from his body.
Percy the Sword didn't even look back. When he walked to his companion, he raised his head and glanced at the Arqiman tree numbered 9 directly in front of him.
The companion looked at his captain and corrected him: "Captain, you are warming up, not keeping warm."
"Don't they all mean the same thing?"
Percy turned his head to look at his companion and asked, "On the 13th?"
The companion nodded heavily.
Percy grinned grimly and took the lead in walking towards Tree Island No. 13.
… … …
Tree Island No. 14.
A bar with a booming business.
"interesting."
A bearded man wearing a black fur coat glanced at the wine table not far away where Maude was being discussed.
Click.
The bearded man smashed the wine bottle with his bare hands without warning, and then stood up suddenly.
The movement was so big that the chair flew backwards and hit the guests at the wine table behind.
"You're looking for fucking death!"
The guest who was hit by the chair immediately got up in anger.
