At the bow of the pirate ship, a three-meter-tall muscular man looked coldly at the outline of the Shampoo Islands, with obvious disdain on his face.
The muscular man is the captain of the Heavy Fist Pirates, named Norris.
He was originally just a little-known pirate, but one day, he accidentally got a copper fruit.
After eating the Copper Fruit, his ordinary life immediately underwent earth-shaking changes.
With the ability brought by the Copper Fruit, his body became invulnerable, and even artillery could not do anything to him.
therefore,
In less than half a year, his bounty has skyrocketed, from 12 million to 130 million, an increase of more than ten times.
The smooth sailing journey made his mentality gradually expand.
So much so, that even if he knew that there was a monster stationed on the Chambord Islands that kept pirates at bay, he was not afraid at all.
"I am a person with the copper fruit ability. I am not even afraid of cannonballs. What can I do with just a cold shot?"
Norris sneered and raised his arms, clenching his fists and showing blue veins.
The crew members of the Heavy Fist Pirates looked at the confident Captain Norris and couldn't help but get excited and shouted Norris's name.
In their opinion, Captain Norris, who was able to survive unscathed under the firepower of a naval warship, was absolutely not afraid of trickery.
Going to Fish-Man Island will also be a sure thing.
Thinking of this, the crew members of the Heavy Fist Pirates became even more excited.
"Hahaha!!! Cheer as much as you like. When you get to Fish-Man Island, I will reward each of you with a mermaid!!!"
Norris enjoyed the praises from the crew very much. He opened his arms and smiled wildly, letting his strong copper body reflect wisps of luster in the sun.
"Oh oh oh!!!"
Hearing Norris's words, the crew members' faces immediately turned red and they responded with all their strength.
And just when the mast ship was about to dock at one of the tree islands in the Shampoo Islands.
Norris's wild laughter stopped abruptly.
The crew members who were cheering were stunned as a dazzling blood flower burst out from the back of Captain Norris's head.
Immediately afterwards,
Before they could react, they saw Norris's heavy body falling backwards and hitting the ground hard with a dull sound.
"Captain Norris?!"
At this time, the crew saw the bleeding bullet hole between Captain Norris's eyebrows.
Suddenly, a chill gripped the hearts of all the crew members present.
"How, how could this happen..."
"Isn't the captain a person with copper fruit ability?!"
Everyone's hearts were shaken, and in disbelief, the eyes looking at Norris's body were full of horror.
Some people even collapsed directly to the ground.
Norris's sudden death made them realize how naive they were.
That monster named Bacardi Mod cannot be treated with common sense! ! !
But even if they finally understand, it's too late...
The bullets fired from a distance have no intention of stopping.
ten minutes later.
A group of marines hurried to the shore.
The leader was a stout middle-aged man with half of his eyebrows missing. He served as a commodore at the Navy Headquarters and was named Franks Aiden.
Ever since Mod began to snipe pirates, Aiden, as the person in charge of the naval garrison base in the Shampoo Islands, has been under a mountain of pressure during this period.
In order to prove the capabilities of the navy to the residents of the Chambord Islands, whenever a pirate ship approaches the Chambord Islands, regardless of whether it is in a lawless zone, Aiden will immediately lead the team to attack.
And this time is no exception.
After learning about the movements of the Heavy Fist Pirates, Aiden led the team as quickly as possible.
"Ready to fight!"
Looking at the ship of the Heavy Fist Pirates, which was only a few dozen meters away from the shore, Aiden's eyes flashed sharply, and he suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist.
"yes!"
The navy soldiers accompanying the team were full of fighting spirit and drew their swords and guns.
However, the mast ship of the Heavy Fist Pirates not far away looked like a ghost ship and there was no movement at all.
"Could it be... again?"
Aiden's cheek twitched.
Thinking of a certain possibility, he ignored the potential threat of the Bronze Fist Norris, who had a bounty of 130 million, and directly used the moon step to fly into the air.
Then,
He saw bodies lying on the deck.
Mord was the first to get there again...
"Damn it!!!"
Aiden was in mid-air, throwing his knife in anger.
When the navy below saw this scene, they understood immediately and couldn't help but feel sad.
at the same time.
The root of tree No. 13, on the flat ground outside Xia Qi’s Bar.
Maude stood up from the Shadow Throne, stretched out immediately, and said to herself: "Today is such a good day, not only has the harvest been great..."
With that said, Maud looked at the newspaper on the Shadow Throne.
On the newspaper page, there were reports about the Straw Hat Pirates.
Two pictures of the reward orders were also published.
The two bounty orders are for Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, who has a bounty of 30 million, and Usopp, the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates, who has a bounty of 20 million.
In Donghai, where the average bounty is only 3 million Baileys, the first bounty was 30 million and 20 million.
According to the Navy, although it is not high, it can be called unprecedented.
"It's finally here..."
A smile appeared on Maud's stern face.
Chapter 226: Could it be your son
Before returning to the Shampoo Islands, Mod read the news about the Blackbeard Pirates' attack on Drum Island in the newspaper.
At that time, although the approximate timeline could not be determined.
But it shouldn’t be far away…
Then we stayed in the Shampoo Islands for more than a month.
period,
All the respectable pirates who came to the Shampoo Islands were shot dead by Mod without exception.
The benefits from the feedback are strengthening Mod's power bit by bit.
In addition, Mod's free time is basically used to improve the ability of the shadow fruit.
In order to let the shadow fruit ability satisfy more of his whims, he must improve his proficiency in the shadow fruit as much as possible until he awakens...
Therefore, he is increasingly looking forward to the arrival of that top-level war.
And just today, he finally saw reports related to the Straw Hat Pirates.
this means,
The wave... has begun!
However, Moder didn't expect that even Usopp would be offered a bounty, and it was 20 million just after his debut.
This kind of starting bounty amount is nothing at all in the Grand Waterway, but if it is placed in the East China Sea, it is very unusual.
"Are you already proficient in using the color of knowledge?"
Maude smiled and looked at the photo of Usopp's bounty order in the newspaper. It was different from the image in her memory. Instead, it had a bit of Jesus cloth.
In this world that focuses on [blood], Usopp, as the son of Jesus Bu, the chief sniper of the Yonko Pirates, is not that weak in terms of qualifications.
Being able to master seeing, hearing and color is an expected result.
I just don't know if Usopp, with his current physique, can successfully break the armored shell according to the method he taught.
"It must not be that easy. If it is Luffy and Zoro, it will probably be a matter of course..."
Maude was deep in thought, and suddenly noticed a strange look from the side.
The owner of that gaze was Perona.
She glanced at Usopp's bounty order and asked curiously: "Mod, could this long nose be your son?"
"How to say?"
Mod slowly closed the newspaper, turned her head to look at Perona who looked curious, and said calmly: "Also, his name is Usopp, not some long-nosed one."
Perona hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "Because the look in your eyes when you looked at the photo of Usopp... was very, very loving, so he couldn't really be you..."
"No, I don't even have a woman, how can I have a son?"
Maud shook her head.
Because Perona asked in a serious manner, he answered with no concessions, very serious.
"Huh? Are you, are you implying something?!"
When Perona heard this, her brain function automatically came on, and she took two steps back.
“…”
Seeing Perona's reaction, Maude said helplessly: "Save it, your figure really doesn't interest me at all."
"What did you say!!!"
Perona was trembling one second, and the next second she was baring her teeth like a tigress!
At this moment, a hand passed through Perona's arm from behind, and then covered Perona's flat chest.
"Eh?"
The sudden attack on her chest made Perona freeze up.
Then, she heard Xia Qi's slightly teasing voice.
"It does feel pretty bad."
"Aunt Xia..."
Perona suddenly felt like she was hit hard, as if a negative ghost passed through her body...
Xia Qi retracted his hand, patted Perona's head gently, and chuckled: "Don't be discouraged, I have a way to make them bigger, as long as you want..."
"Really, I..."
Perona's eyes lit up, and she was about to nod, but suddenly stopped, all kinds of thoughts surged in her heart.
"no."
"I look so cute."
"If I get in better shape..."
"That devil behind will definitely attack me!!!"
"But… "
"If Aunt Xia can really improve my figure, I won't have to be laughed at by that devil and that ugly skunk anymore!"
