Like a drumstick, one step at a time, beating on their hearts.
Involuntarily, cold sweat fell down their cheeks.
On the side, the slaves stared at this scene with their mouths open.
In the end what happened
So that this group of brutal slave catchers would suddenly fall to the ground
The slaves couldn't understand.
They looked at Maude walking step by step.
Although I don’t know what happened, it must have been this man, right
For a moment, they looked at Maud with hope.
This may be their only chance to regain their freedom.
Facing the expectant looks of the slaves, Maude had no reaction, but looked at the slave catchers kneeling on the ground.
As if aware of Maud's gaze, the slave catcher's kneeling body suddenly started to tremble.
Only a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader was calm enough to question.
"Bacardi Mod, we have no enmity or grudge against you, why should we..."
"An eyesore."
Maude squinted at the middle-aged man who spoke.
"W-What!?"
The middle-aged man looked in disbelief.
Is it just because they are an eyesore that you attack them
What's the reason for this
Anger immediately appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
Maud couldn't see the middle-aged man's expression, but she could feel the middle-aged man's volcano-like emotions, and she suddenly became thoughtful.
Without any profit, Maude had no interest in the lives of these slave catchers.
However, now that I have chosen to take action...
"never mind."
Maude muttered to herself, turned around suddenly, raised her hand and snapped her fingers.
The sound rises and falls.
What was heard immediately was the sound of neat bones breaking.
Under the slightly surprised gazes of Perona and Cavendish, the slave catchers who were kneeling on the ground seemed to have their necks broken out of thin air by pairs of invisible hands.
"Is this also the ability of the Shadow Fruit?"
Perona turned her eyes and looked at Maude's back in surprise.
This kind of application technique may be just a small test for Maude.
But she had never seen Moriah used like this.
Does Devil Fruit really differ from person to person
Perona's mood surged slightly.
The slaves looked in shock at the slave catchers whose necks were broken without any warning.
With their limited knowledge, they only feel that this kind of power that takes people's lives out of thin air is really terrifying.
As the slave catchers fell to the ground and died, wisps of tadpole-like shadows slid out from under them and quietly returned to the shadow behind Maud.
Cavendish looked at Maud who didn't look back, and then looked at the bewildered slaves.
After a moment of silence, Cavendish did not do it himself, but asked the crew to help the slaves unlock their shackles.
Later, Cavendish followed Maud subconsciously.
"Um?"
After walking a few dozen meters, Cavendish suddenly reacted.
From the moment he arrived at the Chambord Islands, he was already free, so there was no need to act with Maud anymore.
Cavendish suddenly stopped and looked silently at Maud's retreating figure.
Feeling the sight coming from behind, Maude did not look back and headed straight towards Tree Island No. 13 where Sharkey's Bar was located.
Bailey lay on Maude's shoulder, happily eating nuts.
Perona held a pink flower umbrella and floated beside Maud.
She looked back at Cavendish, who was standing motionless in the distance, envious that Cavendish could regain his freedom.
Then he looked at Maude's side face full of masculine charm, and his teeth immediately started to itch with hatred.
Why can Cavendish be free, but she can only help this stinky man hold an umbrella to protect him from the sun
Thinking of the sadness, Perona's nose was slightly sore and she almost cried.
By the way, this cold, stinky man would actually rescue a slave
Perona, who almost cried a second ago, now gently rubbed her nose and looked at Maud's side face curiously.
"how?"
Sensing Perona's curious gaze, Maud turned her head and looked.
"No, it's nothing."
Perona immediately turned her head away.
Seeing this, Maude shook her head slightly and quickened her pace slightly.
Perona looked at Maud cautiously again, her mouth moved, but she still didn't ask.
On the shore.
Many people silently looked back at Maude's back.
They watched with their own eyes as Maude killed the fully loaded slave-catching team with a snap of his fingers, and they felt quite sad that a rabbit had died and a fox had died.
I really don’t know why this man who just became a Shichibukai hates the phenomenon of slave hunting so much.
Counting the group of unlucky ones who were just killed by Maude and the slave catchers who fell into Maude's hands, there are eight hundred if not one thousand, right
"It's better to keep a low profile these days."
The man who makes a living by catching slaves is thinking silently in his heart.
... ... ... ... ..
after an hour.
The lawless zone, a bar on Tree Island No. 26.
The bar was packed with people and there was a lot of people.
Suddenly, the bar door was pushed open forcefully.
"Bang!"
The wooden door bounced off the wall with a loud bang, causing the buzz in the bar to pause.
Everyone turned around in unison and saw a panting tattooed man standing at the door with a look of horror on his face.
"No! That man...is back!"
"who?"
Everyone in the bar looked puzzled.
The tattooed man gathered his energy and shouted loudly: "Shichibukai Mod is back!!!"
"What!?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Most of them are pirates and slave catchers who stay in the lawless zone of the Chambord Islands all year round.
Because the navy stationed on Tree Island No. 60 rarely comes to the lawless zone, they live a relaxed and comfortable life on weekdays.
But such a good life ended with the arrival of a certain man a few months ago.
And that man is Bacardi Mod, a ruthless guy who is always ready to attack pirates or slave catchers!
"He...why is he back again?"
A scarred-faced pirate with a bounty of 90 million suddenly stood up, with a look of fear on his face.
Almost all pirates with some worth would react like this.
"No, I have to get out of here quickly."
The scar-faced pirate, worth nearly 100 million, murmured to himself in a low voice.
Some pirates, including him, knew that Moder specifically targeted pirates with high bounties.
As a result, the bounty amount that was originally used to intimidate others and increase one's own presence has now become a sharp blade hanging above the head, which may fall at any time.
The scar-faced pirate no longer hesitated and strode towards the bar door.
He would rather leave the helpless zone and face the pursuit of the navy than stay in the same area with the god of death.
"Um?!"
As soon as he reached the gate, the scar-faced pirate suddenly felt something. He keenly caught a slight whistling sound.
Fortunately, the bar was so quiet that he could hear it very clearly.
That was the sound of bullets flying past.
The Scarface Pirate, who had experienced dozens of fierce battles, was very familiar with this sound.
The moment he heard the sound, he lay down without thinking.
A lead bullet that came from a distance whizzed past his scalp, hitting the head of another pirate who was also on the trajectory of the gun line.
The scarred-faced pirate who escaped the disaster looked back at his colleague who was killed by a headshot, and his face immediately turned pale.
He realized that it was like a lead bullet shot from a very far distance, and it was coming towards him.
The sudden change caused chaos in the bar that was quite quiet a second ago.
"Close the door!"
The scar-faced pirate shouted loudly, knowing that the danger was coming.
After hearing the Scarface Pirate's words, the people closer to the door hurriedly closed the open bar door.
Watching the door close, the scar-faced pirate felt a little relieved.
Then, he stood up slowly, looking fearfully at his unlucky colleague on the ground who was shot in the head, his voice trembling slightly.
"The shot just now was aimed at me. It was him, it must be him!"
“…”
The expressions of other people around him changed slightly, and they all looked at the scarred-faced pirate who was full of fear.
When their eyes gather...
He heard no sound and saw no movement. He was shocked to see a blood flower suddenly appear on the forehead of the scar-faced pirate.
"Well?"
The scar-faced pirate stiffened and looked confused.
There was sudden silence in the venue.
Everyone looked in horror at the scar-faced pirate who was shot for no apparent reason.
Where did this shot come from
Everyone was so shocked that they didn't notice the small group of holes in the shadow behind the scar-faced pirate.
