Introduce me to your idol, introduce me to your idol! ! !
Usopp's reaction was not slow, and he realized it immediately.
However,
Before he could speak, the phone was hung up.
Seeing the phone bug closing his eyes, Bartolomeo was stunned for a moment, then as if his soul had been drained out, he staggered to his knees and fell to his knees, silent tears streaming down his face.
The person who also felt disappointed was Nami next to Usopp.
It's just that she doesn't show it as obviously as Bartolomeo does.
Luffy tilted his head and looked at the hung up phone bug, and asked in confusion: "What are the Shampoo Islands?"
"Well… "
Everyone couldn't help but remain silent.
They had not yet officially entered the Great Channel and knew nothing about the Shampoo Islands far above Fish-Man Island.
However, Luffy's question reminded Bartolomeo.
Senior Mord will wait for Usopp and his entourage to pass by at the Shampoo Islands.
That is to say,
Just rely on Usopp and the others...
It's not that I want to join the Straw Hat Pirates, but I can take a ride on the Straw Hat Pirates' ride.
After all, he knew nothing about sailing.
Thinking of this, Bartolomeo's eyes lit up and he looked at Luffy sharply.
"Luffy-senpai!"
Bartolomeo immediately flew in front of Luffy, holding Luffy's thighs tightly with both hands.
"Please let me on board!"
"???"
... ... ... ... ... ..
The Grand Line, a certain island.
Near the port, a huge mast ship with a pirate flag was moored.
On the dock, lying a huge deformed ball of flesh composed of various parts of the human body.
From the surface of the meat ball, you can clearly see palms, thighs, heads, and various types of clothing.
Above this misshapen big ball of flesh, sitting across his legs was a man wearing a white fluffy hat with spots on his head.
Surprisingly, it was Trafalgar Law who had parted ways with Maud for a long time.
Not far from the deformed big meat ball, stood a group of residents with frightened expressions.
Blood-stained bandages can be seen more or less on their bodies, and they have obviously dealt with injuries not long ago.
"You are obviously a pirate, but why..."
In front of the crowd, a middle-aged man with half of his face covered in bandages looked up at Luo, who was sitting on top of the deformed big ball.
Whether it was the injuries that had been treated on their bodies or the huge deformed flesh ball in front of them composed of the members of the pirate group who attacked and plundered the town, it was all done by Yu Luo.
It can be said that if it weren't for Luo's action.
Towns will be captured by pirates, and their consequences will be disastrous.
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, Luo looked towards the town streets in the distance and saw the crew members of the regiment walking over carrying a pile of food.
"It's just a whim."
Looking back at the crew, Luo turned to look at the middle-aged man, his tone was quite cold.
"Heart, whim..."
The middle-aged man, and even the other town residents present, all looked incredible.
Luo stopped paying attention to the townspeople below and stood up slowly holding the knife.
Just then, the phone bug I carried with me rang with the sound of an incoming call.
Hearing this voice, Luo suddenly felt something, and vaguely guessed that it was Maude's call.
He took out his phone and connected it.
"it's me."
as expected.
Maude's voice came through the phone bug.
Luo stared suddenly, his heart beating faster inexplicably.
opportunity,
Is it finally here...!
Chapter 229 The prototype of the plan
Maude's call.
Luo's heart beat faster.
What Maud had said to him before the terrifying barque parted ways suddenly flashed through his mind.
"See you in the Chambord Islands in one year!"
Although it’s less than a year, it’s almost there.
After realizing something, Luo looked down at the phone bug who looked a bit like Maude, with a hint of urgency in his eyebrows.
"Maud."
"Well, are there any outsiders around?"
The phone bug looked directly at Luo and opened his mouth to hear Maude's voice.
Luo did not answer immediately, but looked back at the crowds of town residents.
"Room."
The hemispherical surgical field space then unfolds.
The next moment,
Luo appeared on the deck of a mast ship on the sea not far away, and his original location became an empty barrel.
"It's gone now."
After using the ability of the surgical fruit to transfer to the empty pirate ship, Luo said.
On the other side of the phone, even if Maud didn't see this scene, he could still understand what was going on through Luo's "Room" sound.
Not going into details, but going straight to the point.
"It's time. As agreed, I'll be waiting for you at the Chambord Islands."
"good."
Luo Ning looked at the phone bug, first agreed, and then pointed out: "Can you talk about the big event you mentioned before?"
"War, a large-scale war involving many forces."
This time, Maud did not pretend to be mysterious and answered Luo's doubts straightforwardly.
"war?"
Luo was shocked when he heard Maude's confident answer.
He paid attention to first-hand information, both overt and covert, at any time and anywhere, but he did not smell any hint of war-related limelight.
"Yes, that is a war that even the Shichibukai will participate in. That is to say... Doflamingo, who is a Shichibukai like me, will also be present."
"Um?"
Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly understood the potential meaning of Maud's words.
Let’s not talk about what kind of large-scale war it is...
"Mode, do you want to attack Doflamingo in 'War'?"
"Yes, this is also... an opportunity you can seize."
“…”
Luo was silent when he heard this.
Killing Doflamingo is the meaning of his life in this world.
And Maude now put an opportunity in front of him that might facilitate this.
But his ice-like reason left him with no surprises at all, only a tangle of doubts.
because,
The current situation is very stable, and there are no signs of undercurrents.
If we want to talk about turmoil, the most it could be is the incident of Moder killing Moonlight Moria.
Apart from this, there are no signs of events that could shake the balance of power.
How could this trigger a large-scale war involving multiple forces
Not to mention, Maude mentioned this to him a year ago.
Could it be...
Luo thought about it carefully and could think of possibilities.
That is to say - Mod may have been planning to promote a large-scale war a long time ago, and even wanted to seize the position of the Shichibukai for this reason.
Luo was silent for a moment.
He had no time to think too much, so he could only answer like this.
"Let's talk about it when we meet."
"Okay, see you in the Shampoo Islands."
Luo didn't ask further, which surprised Maude.
But he didn't care much and hung up the phone directly after answering.
On the deck of the pirate ship, Luo looked at the phone bug with his eyes closed, his eyes looking thoughtful.
Ever since he parted ways with Maud on the Dread Barque, he had always followed Maud's request and acted as low-key as possible.
Then, work hard to improve the accuracy of the surgical fruit ability, as well as the physical strength that has been criticized by Mod before.
Until today, Maude called and informed him to meet up at the Chambord Islands.
"Even the Shichibukai have to participate in a large-scale war..."
While Luo whispered to himself, Maud's appearance flashed in his mind.
This man…
The feeling given to him has always been strong and cold.
Now, there is a little more mystery.
If it is true as Mod said in the near future, there will be a large-scale war.
So,
Mod, who had already stepped into it, was just trying to take off Doflamingo's head
No,
It's not just that.
so,
What "something" does this man want to get out of it
