not far away.
Smoker looked back at the team headed by Dusky coming from the other side of the street.
At this moment, he finally stopped watching indifferently, and instead pulled out the ten hands inlaid with sea tower stones with his backhand. At the same time, his lower body turned into smoke and rushed towards the Straw Hats in the air.
He wants to be here to wipe out the newly emerging Straw Hat Pirates!
Bartolomeo, who was feeling regretful and painful, suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes scanning towards Smoker, who was flying towards the Straw Hats.
"Get out of my way!"
Bartolomeo's expression turned cold, he raised his hand to make a gesture of overlapping his index and middle fingers, and then volleyed towards Smoker.
Mobile barrier!
Bartolomeo, who was in the air, decisively used the ability of the barrier fruit to open a flowing barrier in front of him.
Immediately, the flowing barrier transformed into the shape of a racket and struck hard at Smoker, whose half body turned into smoke.
Looking at the barrier racket coming towards him, Smoker's expression changed.
Smoke cannot pass through the barrier…
Smoker only had time to turn his whole body into smoke before he was blasted to the ground by the barrier racket, scattering into white smoke all over the ground.
But soon, the dispersed white smoke slowly gathered into a human shape, and finally turned into the appearance of Smoker.
"These two are just like Luffy, they are both ability users!"
Zoro and others were secretly shocked.
Unexpectedly, there are two rare Devil Fruit users in one town.
Especially the ability to create smoke is very tricky at first glance.
But why did the man named Bartolomeo help them
Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Nami were confused.
Luffy was the only one who was heartless and attracted by the abilities displayed by Smoker and Bartolomeo.
Smoker, who had returned to his original form, pointed at Bartolomeo with his ten fingers and said with a cold expression: "Bartolomeo, do you know what you are doing?"
Bartolomeo spat at Smoker, just when he was about to say harsh words.
"Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu..."
The sound of a phone call came from Usopp's satchel.
Calling under such circumstances will unknowingly attract everyone's attention.
Usopra opened his satchel and took out the phone bug he had acquired following Maud's suggestion.
The moment the call was connected, the image of the phone bug suddenly became heroic.
"Is it Usopp?"
Then, Maude's voice came from the phone bug's mouth.
"Master Maud?!"
Listening to the voice, Usopp was surprised.
"it's me."
"!!!"
Everyone was suddenly startled and stared at the phone bug in Usopp's hand.
On the other end of this phone bug is an extraordinary man.
Smoker looked solemn.
I thought Usopp was just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it was actually related to that man!
"I, I heard the voice of an idol..." Bartolomeo looked at the phone bug that showed a bit of Mod's image, but his eyes filled with tears.
Nami pursed her lips and stared at the phone bug in Usopp's hand. She hesitated for a moment, and then preempted Usopp's next words.
"Is it really you, Maud..."
"Um?"
On the other end of the phone, Maude paused.
"It's Nami..."
“…”
Nami's eyes suddenly lit up.
Hearing Mod call out Nami's name, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were surprised and looked at Nami with surprised eyes.
As if to say, how come you also know Maud
No, I should say why even Maud knows you
As long as Usopp was slightly enlightened, he thought, no wonder Nami's reaction was a bit strange at that time.
On top of the building in the distance.
Dragon, who had been waiting for Luffy to leave Rogge Town, silently looked up at the surging black clouds in the sky.
He thought that he might as well summon a strong wind, and then blow Luffy and the others directly to the captain.
Chapter 228 Please let me on board!
During this tit-for-tat confrontation, Maud's phone call made everyone present feel emotional.
When Nami saw that Mod could hear her own voice, her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked happy and excited.
I always feel that I have a lot to say to Maude.
But after greeting each other, they didn't know how to continue the conversation.
However, Luffy, who always went offline on certain occasions, did not give Nami any chance to snatch the phone bug from Usopp's hand.
"Hey, I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
“…”
Luffy's signature self-introduction made Maud on the other end of the phone silent.
It is a wonderful feeling to hear [Children of the World]'s skilled opening remarks at this time.
Seeing Luffy's abrupt move, Usopp and Nami were startled for a moment, then each punched Luffy on the back of the head.
Two bangs.
Luffy's head suddenly felt like a roly-poly, swinging back and forth.
"go away!"
"Don't say this all the time!"
Usopp and Nami yelled at Luffy.
Luffy, who didn't look like a captain at all, rubbed the back of his head and pouted with an aggrieved look on his face.
Zoro Sanji sighed softly in his heart when he saw this.
Nearby, Bartolomeo looked at the phone bug who showed a bit of Maude's image with a moved face, a little hopeful and a little entangled.
"I really want to talk to Senior Maude!!! Even just one sentence!!!"
Bartolomeo shouted in his mind.
Behind him, the marines led by Dasqi arrived one after another and stood behind Smog.
Smoker frowned.
The weight contained in the name Maud alone could stop him from moving forward at this moment.
now,
No one in the world knows Maud.
The operation of blocking the door with one hand has been widely reported by many news media in recent days.
At the same time, it also made many pirates in the Grand Waterway so angry that they felt helpless.
And such a man actually has an apprentice in Donghai
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could Smoker believe it
Smoker stopped and watched, making the Straw Hats seem to have forgotten the potential threat posed by this group of marines, and all their attention was focused on the phone bug.
Later, Usopp takes back the Phone Bug from Luffy.
"Master Maude, please don't pay attention to what that idiot said just now!"
"Ah."
Maud's chuckle came from the phone, obviously not paying attention to what Luffy had just said.
"Usopp, have you come to the Grand Line?"
"No, we just arrived at Rogge Town today. I heard from Nami that the entrance to the Great Channel is at Upside Down Mountain not far from Rogge Town."
Usopp had a smile on his face as he spoke to the phone bug.
Nami looked on from the side, with a rare expression of not being cheerful enough.
Sanji seemed to see something, and a spark suddenly appeared in his eyes when he looked at the phone bug.
"In Rogge Town..."
On the other side of the phone, Maud raised his eyebrows slightly and pretended to be casual: "I heard that there is a navy stationed there called the 'White Hunter'. They are people with abilities who have eaten the natural smoke fruit. Please pay attention."
"Well… "
Usopp subconsciously raised his head, looked at Smoker with a solemn expression, and said with a wry smile: "Master Mord, the 'white hunter' you mentioned is right in front of us."
"oh?"
Following Mod's exclamation, the phone bug moved his eyes in cooperation, and like Usopp, looked directly at Smoker.
The phone bug was unable to transmit the picture to Maud, but it inadvertently helped Maud create the illusion that she was looking directly at him.
Immediately, except for Smoker, the other navies including Dusqi felt the pressure.
Just the sight of the phone bug that didn't actually exist was enough to frighten this group of marines.
This is the deterrent power unleashed by Maude's reputation.
Maude couldn't see Smoker and other marines, and he didn't know what the situation was at the scene.
But these did not prevent him from using a high-level attitude to "look down" on the many navies headed by Smoker.
"Rogg Town is a bit far away, but I don't mind going there specifically. Do you understand what I mean? White Hunter... Smoker."
"!!!"
Hearing Mod's threatening words, Smoker's expression suddenly sank.
Let’s count down the many unreasonable things this man has done since he entered the Grand Channel.
Smoker has absolutely reason to believe that even if this man bears the title of Shichibukai, he will do what he says!
On the other hand, the other marines were so shocked by these words that contained huge power that their bodies trembled.
In stark contrast, Usopp was extremely excited.
This is his master!
Even if they are not present, they can still intimidate these marines!
"Usopp."
After saying the cruel words, the phone bug's eyes slowly moved again and turned to look at Usopp who was standing close in front of him.
"I will wait for you to come over at the Chambord Islands. Don't slack off in your practice."
"Um!"
Usopp nodded heavily, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bartolomeo with an excited face, wildly tapping his face with the fingers of both hands in weird movements.
As if to say,
