"Weihaha, this trick gun seems to have some abilities. Hey, Oka, I use a gun like you."
Badgers said, looking down at a tall man under the ruins wearing a black cloak, wearing a monocular telescope in his right eye, and holding a modified spear.
This man is the Oka mentioned by Badgers, and he is also the sniper of the Blackbeard Pirates.
Oka met Badgers' gaze and said calmly: "I am different from him."
"no the same?"
Badgers was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "What's the difference? It was written clearly in the newspaper that this trick gun was used for gun hunting. Otherwise, how could he have such a title? And like you, he can kill thousands of people." Taking lives from meters away.”
The rough language somewhat showed Badgers' rough nature.
Oka looked calm and said: "That man... is not a pure gunman."
"ah?"
Badgers didn't know why and tilted his head with confusion on his face.
Oka didn't bother to explain to Badgers, so he forcibly stopped the topic with a silent attitude.
On the ruins, Blackbeard Teach did not let Oka get his wish.
He put down the newspaper and laughed: "Haha, thief, Oka, I really want to know who is better with his gun or yours?"
When Oka heard this, he held the gun lightly, his eyes flashing with sharpness, and asked a question.
"Are you going to pull him down from the position of Shichibukai?"
"Then forget it..."
Looking at Oka who was full of fighting spirit, Teach said seriously: "This guy is obviously a tough opponent. Besides, there are more suitable targets than him."
Oka lowered his sniper rifle, nodded slightly and said no more.
Badgers jumped off the ruins, raised his arms that were thicker than an adult's thighs, and shouted with a loud voice:
"Captain, if we want to go to the new world, we will definitely have to fight with this sneaky gun. Since we have to fight sooner or later, why not just list him as a target?"
"Hahaha, there is no need to do such a thankless thing."
Tiqi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and a dark wave suddenly appeared in his palm, swallowing the newspaper into darkness in the blink of an eye.
"Now is not the best time... thief haha!"
"All right."
Badgers, who was keen on fighting, was a little disappointed and looked sideways at his own ship's doctor, Poison Q, who had never said a word not far away.
Sensing Badgers's gaze, Poison Q, who lay on his horse and looked as if he was terminally ill, silently put away a newspaper that contained information about the members of the Mord Pirates.
Among the members' information, there was a name that concerned him a lot.
... ... ... ... ... ... ..
East China Sea.
Somewhere in the sea.
A dhow with a sheep's head on its bow was moored on the sea.
On the furled sail, a skull pattern wearing a straw hat can be vaguely seen.
"Hey, Luffy, come and see!!!"
An excited male voice suddenly sounded on the deck of the dhow.
If Mod was present, he should be able to recognize Usopp's voice immediately.
"What? Did you catch a big fish?"
The cabin door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.
Wearing a straw hat, a red waistcoat, and straw sandals, Luffy, a spirited young man, rushed to the deck like a wild beast coming out of its cage.
"Is it a big fish?"
Luffy's eyes were filled with stars, and he looked at Usopp standing by the side of the ship with great anticipation.
Today, Usopp is no longer a thin young man.
After two years of hard training and eating meat, he was able to develop a body of muscles that looked not inferior to Sauron's.
But if we only look at physical strength, the current Usopp is still far inferior to Zoro and Luffy who have had extraordinary training experience since childhood.
"It's not the big fish, it's this!"
Usopp happily held up the newspaper, while his other hand was pressed against the headline photo in the newspaper.
"It's not a big fish."
When Luffy saw this, his eyelids drooped, unable to hide his disappointment.
The previous mental state was more like a mirage, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Seeing Luffy's lack of interest, Usopp's excitement of wanting to share good things with his friends as soon as possible couldn't help but be suffocated.
"The big fish will be there in a moment, you take a look at this first."
Usopp was quite helpless.
With the big fish as bait, Luffy finally gathered some energy and walked up to Usopp. Under the latter's very deliberate guidance, his eyes fell on the headline photo in the newspaper.
"Shichibukai Bacardi Mod?"
Luffy's eyes paused for a moment, then looked up at Usopp, his eyes filled with confusion.
It seems to be saying: Why do you want me to see this
Usopp pointed at Mod's photo and said excitedly: "Luffy, do you know the origin of this handsome man with a bounty of 500 million?"
Luffy hesitated and said: "Shichibukai?"
Usopp's eyes were shining and he said seriously: "That's true, but he also has another identity!!!"
"What identity?"
Luffy asked in a very silly manner.
"My master!!!"
“…”
Luffy was slightly startled.
After a moment of silence, Luffy's eyes first slowly protruded outward, and then his mouth slowly opened.
"Eh!!!?"
Then, Luffy's loud voice sounded on the deck.
Zoro, who was on the other side of the deck and was struggling to lift the iron, was disturbed by the sudden loud voice.
Suddenly, crossroads appeared on Zoro's forehead. Just when he was about to shout the words "It's so noisy" at Luffy, someone took a step ahead of him.
"It's so noisy!"
Nami stormed out of the cabin, her majestic gaze directed towards Luffy and Usopp.
When Nami looked at her like this, Luffy and Usopp subconsciously shrank their necks.
"There's not much food left on the ship. You guys... huh?"
While Nami was speaking, she suddenly saw the photo of Mod in the newspaper in Usopp's hand. She couldn't help but stop talking, strode up to Usopp, and reached out to grab the newspaper.
"It's Maud."
Then, Nami looked at Maude's photo, her eyes filled with luster.
Usopp looked at Nami's reaction in surprise and blurted out: "Nami, do you know my master?"
"Know, eh? Your master?"
Nami was stunned for a moment.
"Yes." Usopp raised his head and chest and said, "Mod is my master. I didn't expect it, haha!"
“…”
Nami took two steps back.
"Hey, Nami, what do you mean by that incredible expression!!!"
“…”
"Guys, I smell food!"
This was Luffy's suddenly excited voice.
"Is dinner ready?"
When he heard the word food, the first thing Zoro, who was playing iron, thought of was dinner.
Then,
In a commotion.
Everyone on the deck followed the direction of the scent pointed by Luffy and saw a fish-head sailboat.
That's...Bharati, a restaurant on the sea.
The trajectory of fate seems to be very resilient.
Chapter 225 is finally here...
In the past month.
Mod guarding the Chambord Islands was like an insurmountable wall, which made the pirates who finally reached the Chambord Islands despair after all the hardships.
Any well-known pirate with some strength, no matter where he lands in the Chambord Islands, will be shot to death by the rumored [Weird Bullet] immediately.
Even if they land in the middle of the night, they can't escape the eyes that hang high above the Chambord Islands like the sun and the moon.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Maud's behavior was insane.
Coupled with the news media's encouragement, Maude's notoriety spread almost throughout the first half of the Grand Line.
But that's just a bad reputation in the eyes of pirates.
For the residents of the Chambord Islands, Maud is a more reliable maintainer of order than the navy.
It was precisely because of Maud's arrival and what he did.
Only then can the Shampoo Islands usher in an unprecedented peaceful environment.
The obvious change that followed was the surge in tourists!
Even the Fishman Island, which is thousands of meters under the sea, has also enjoyed the benefits brought by Mod.
Due to the sharp decrease in the number of powerful pirates and the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates' flag, the security of Fish-Man Island has become very relaxed.
There is a small group of mermaids and fishmen who are more courageous, and the frequency of sneaking away to Shampoo Islands is obviously much higher.
These are the changes brought about by Moder after he implemented the "Gatekeeper Plan".
Shampoo Island and Fishman Island are both beneficiaries.
As for the pirates, there is no doubt that they are the ones suffering.
To be honest, the navy stationed in the Chambord Islands is not having an easy time either.
because,
Some people praise Mod's contribution to the Chambord Islands, but at the same time they will inevitably step on the navy stationed in the Chambord Islands.
In this regard, this group of navy can't ask the great god Maud to leave. In the end, they can only swallow the bitter water in their stomachs.
Today, the sun is high.
A large pirate ship came to the offshore waters of the Shampoo Islands.
The bow of this pirate ship is a huge bronze fist, which is quite distinctive.
The pirate flag hanging above the mast also has four bronze fists surrounding a skull.
It can be seen from this that the pirate captain who leads this pirate group is likely to be the type that advocates violence.
"Sneak gun? Gatekeeper of the new world?"
