Time flies.
Two months later.
The Hakuba of the Handsome Pirates sailed into the offshore area of the Shampoo Islands.
Chapter 220: That man...
Two months is enough time to change a lot of things.
For example, Mod successfully incorporated some ideas into the ability of the shadow fruit.
For another example, Cavendish completed the sparring task very well and finally mastered the weapon color.
So he finally got his wish and came to the Chambord Islands again, only a few steps away from the new world he longed for.
Looking at the outline of the Chambord Islands from a distance, the crew members headed by Cavendish looked moved.
finally…
Pictures of many sexy mermaids suddenly appeared in the minds of many impatient crew members.
"Hey...suck it."
"Hey, watch your image, we are a handsome pirate group!"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back for a while when I thought about the excitement."
Just thinking of those beautiful pictures, the mood of the crew is as beautiful as the blue sky above their heads.
On the tea table at the bow of the ship, Bailey, who was drinking a cup of tea, silently looked at the handsome pirate crew members who were overjoyed, as if looking at a group of lunatics.
When the tea cup bottomed out, Bailey raised the cup and moved it slightly towards Perona, who was floating aside, signaling her to quickly pour the tea.
Perona twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, resisting the urge to slap this stinky guy to death, picked up the teapot, and helped Bailey refill a cup of hot black tea.
Bailey looked at the reluctant Perona and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Little Perona, how many times have I told you that as a maid, you can slowly adapt to poor service, but you must smile, understand? Smile, just like Wo!"
As he said this, Bailey demonstrated, his eyes curled into crescents, his teeth exposed in a grin, and he smiled like a fool.
"Go to hell!"
Perona was furious and raised her hand to throw the teapot away.
Maude put down the newspaper in her hand and read it in due course.
Feeling Maud's gaze, Perona's body suddenly stiffened. How could she dare to be so bold? She obediently put the teapot back on the table.
Maude glanced at the extremely luxurious gold-plated teapot and said calmly: "This teapot is Xiaoka's treasure. It is a ten-year collector's edition. If you drop it, can you afford to pay for it?"
"whispering sound."
Perona curled her lips and looked at the teapot with disdain in her peripheral vision.
How much is a broken teapot worth
However, since she was penniless now, she was naturally in no position to refute Maude's words.
Bailey came to Maud's side, holding the tea cup, and sighed: "Boss, why did you bring her here? She wants to be... she wants service but not service, and she wants to smile but not smile."
Perona didn't react, but the words didn't sit well with her, and she immediately glared at Bailey fiercely.
Maud glanced at Bailey, frowned and said, "Aren't you the one who suggested that Perona come with you?"
"What?!"
Perona and Bailey were shocked at the same time.
The former was surprised that the reason why he was brought on board was not because of Maud's decision.
The latter was surprised that he had forgotten this.
"It turns out it's you bastard...!"
Perona stared at Bailey, wanting to bite the skunk to death.
If I hadn't been forced to follow him.
At this moment, she should be drinking afternoon tea comfortably in the cold and quiet forest, while happily tasting the delicious cakes made by sister Jia Ya.
The picture slowly emerged in her mind, and Perona's eyes couldn't help but shine with a look of longing.
But in a flash, I thought of the experience of serving Bailey as a maid...
Perona's face suddenly turned gloomy, tears welled up in her eyes, and she bit her clothes bitterly.
Seeing the rich psychological activities displayed on Perona's face, Maud was quite speechless.
Bailey looked disgusted.
At this moment, he finally remembered his original intention of letting Maud bring Perona.
Because Sister Jaya and Lafayette will stay on the terrifying barque to assist Brooke and Jim in their special training.
Therefore, on this trip to the Shampoo Islands, he and Maud were actually the only two.
It was precisely because of this that Bailey set his sights on Perona.
If Perona comes with her, she can not only bring tea and water, but also bully her to relieve her loneliness.
It's a pity that Perona is not good at all.
Originally, Bailey was still thinking about letting Perona feed him.
The more Bailey thought about it, the more disgusted he became.
Maude was too lazy to pay any attention to the pair and continued to read the newspaper.
Since he was not sure when Luffy would go to sea, Mod could only keep an eye on the contents of newspapers to determine the approximate timeline.
So far, there is still no news about the Straw Hat Pirates.
This shows that Luffy probably hasn't gone to sea yet.
However, today’s newspaper content…
"The revolutionary army attacked the weapons factory of one of the participating countries, Modern Country, at night. Not only did they rescue many slaves, but they also stole a large number of weapons."
"According to the surviving soldiers responsible for the guard, despite the cover of night, the revolutionary troops who attacked the weapons factory seemed to appear out of thin air, without giving them any chance to react."
Maud's eyes flashed across the reports related to the Revolutionary Army, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Fire Fist Ace, the second captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, ate ten Overlord Meals in a row alone in the port town of Toga Country."
Maud's gaze paused, and he immediately raised his hand to rub his brow.
This kind of bad thing can also be reported.
But yes, if Cavendish had the reputation of Ace the Fire Fist, it would probably be reported by a news agency no matter what he wears.
"Alone, that is to say... have you started chasing Blackbeard?"
Mod's eyes fell on Fire Fist Ace's smiling face, his eyes flashing frequently.
Turning over the newspaper, the news about the Blackbeard Pirates' attack on the Drum Kingdom was clearly visible.
"oh?"
Maud was slightly surprised.
From this, it can be further confirmed that Blackbeard has separated from the Whitebeard Pirates, and Ace has begun to pursue Blackbeard alone.
If nothing else goes wrong, as long as Ace can catch up with Blackbeard, he will definitely be defeated by Blackbeard and captured alive.
By then, it was the eve of the battle at the top.
Maud closed the newspaper.
He had no idea whether there would be changes in the future, so he could only take it one step at a time.
And the movements of Ace and Blackbeard have now been confirmed.
After that, it was just a matter of waiting for Luffy to make his mark to determine the approximate timeline.
While Maude was reading the newspaper, the White Horse slowly sailed towards the lawless zone of the Shampoo Islands - Tree Island No. 1.
For pirates, it is best to stay in the Lawless Zone when visiting the Shampoo Islands.
Because the navy stationed in the Chambord Islands rarely goes to the lawless zone.
The Handsome Pirates naturally adapted to the situation and chose to land on Tree Island No. 1 in the lawless zone.
After a while, the White Horse docked.
Maude got off the boat first, while Bailey squatted on Maude's shoulders.
Then came Perona and Cavendish, as well as dozens of handsome pirate crew members.
As for the remaining people, they have to take on the task of guarding the ship.
As soon as they landed, Maud heard a burst of screams and pleas.
Following the sound, it turned out that a slave-catching team was escorting dozens of male and female slaves with good looks and figures, one after another disembarking from the mast ship.
The slave catchers cursed and pushed the male and female slaves, intending to make the male and female slaves go faster. They were so rough and unmeasured that the male and female slaves cried out in pain.
This kind of scene is the norm in the Shampoo Islands, and the Handsome Pirates turn a blind eye to it.
“Let’s find a reliable coating shop first.”
Cavendish was thinking silently, and suddenly saw Maud walking towards the slave-catching team that had just landed.
Behind him, Perona was flying with an umbrella.
"Maud?"
Cavendish was startled when he saw this.
The slave-catching party soon noticed Maud's approach.
"That's... Shichibukai Mod!"
Seeing Maud, the slave catchers were frightened and secretly vigilant.
Why is this man here...
Although there was no grievance or enmity, the slave catchers felt inexplicably uneasy.
Maud glanced at it as she walked.
The uneasiness in the hearts of everyone in the slave-catching team became more and more intense.
"Um?"
The faces of the slave-catching team suddenly changed, and they knelt down facing Maud without any warning. Their movements were surprisingly consistent.
"My body...can't control it..."
The slave catcher was horrified. After kneeling down, he suddenly leaned forward and made a worshiping gesture.
The sudden change stunned the group of slaves.
Not far away, Perona, Cavendish and others also looked strange.
Did Maud do something
Chapter 221 is back...
Every slave catcher was horrified by his uncontrollable body movements of kneeling down and worshiping.
Their foreheads hit the ground hard, and they seemed to be stuck with super glue in an instant. No matter how hard they tried, they could not get their heads off the ground.
"It's the ability of the Devil Fruit..."
This strange situation made the slave catchers understand something instantly.
only,
The body cannot move.
His head hit the ground hard.
Their sight was limited to the palm-sized ground, and they could not see Mod's next move.
but,
But they could clearly hear Maud's footsteps walking slowly.
