Perhaps because of her gender, Bonnie is favored by media reporters and often appears in newspapers.
In addition to Bonnie, Maud also saw an old acquaintance - Eustace Kidd.
After this guy left Mad Hatter Town, he seemed to be looking for something, running around and dormant for about two years.
It was not until recently that it officially entered the Great Waterway and gradually appeared in newspapers.
After reading all the reports, Maude closed the newspaper and said to herself: "I wonder if Luffy and the others will meet Vivi."
Under his influence, before entering the Grand Line, Luffy was able to successfully recruit Nami, Zoro, Sanji and others into the group like the original work. It is already a very low probability.
Therefore, Mod thinks that it is unlikely that the Straw Hat Pirates will encounter Vivi.
If he didn't meet Vivi, it meant that Crocodile would not be defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates.
In this way, there will not be a vacancy in the Shichibukai that Blackbeard is targeting.
Of course, with Blackbeard’s inevitable motivation.
I'm afraid that like him, he would take action against one of the Shichibukai in order to take over one of his positions.
It’s impossible for the World Government to set a precedent and bring out the Yabukai for Blackbeard’s sake, right
If that were the case, Maude would feel a lot less worried.
Otherwise, the Shichibukai, including him, might become Blackbeard's target before capturing Ace.
After thinking for a moment, Mod came up with the idea of contacting the Straw Hat Pirates in advance.
only…
Maud glanced back at the bar.
During this period, he could not leave the Chambord Islands casually.
after all,
The skill of returning life has a higher priority.
"Let's wait and see."
Mod quickly gave up the idea of contacting the Straw Hat Pirates in advance.
Even if there is no [Alabasta incident], as long as the war on top can start smoothly.
Theoretically,
The chance of the Straw Hat Pirates meeting Vivi is almost zero.
However, as the Straw Hat Pirates appeared in newspapers, they gradually entered the public eye.
The master-disciple relationship between Mod and Usopp naturally attracted the attention of a woman.
That woman—Nicole Robin.
Just a master-disciple relationship can give Nico Robin some ideas.
In order to transfer some of the risks, she, who knew many behind-the-scenes secrets in Alabasta, did not mind dragging Usopp in.
Chapter 231 Destiny is really interesting.
Life Return is a skill that allows you to freely control your body.
According to Xia Qi, it is to inject consciousness into a certain position of the body to achieve the purpose of control.
It could be a hair on the body, or it could be a breast that Perona wants to enrich.
Even the aggressive parts of a man can be enlarged and thickened through the use of life-returning techniques, thus greatly enhancing the aggressiveness.
for example,
Men's arms, thighs, fists, soles and other parts.
To initially master this skill, not only physical coordination is required, but mental tenacity is also one of the prerequisites.
That is to say,
Unlike the color of Armedness, which corresponds to the physical body and physical strength, the Color of Knowledge corresponds to mental strength and concentration.
Returning life is a superb skill that requires physical and mental development at the same time.
Learning this skill is not easy.
Maude was mentally prepared for a long war.
"Sister Xia Qi, can I also learn from Wo?"
Bailey stood on the bar, looking expectantly at Xia Qi in front of him.
Xia Qi thought for a moment and joked: "There is no precedent, but with your talent, little Bailey, you can definitely learn it."
"Ha ha!"
Bailey didn't hear the ridicule in Xia Qi's words at all, and raised his head and laughed proudly.
"After all, Nest is the strongest weasel in the world."
“…”
On the side, Perona glanced at the small pimples on Bailey's head. They were swellings that had not completely subsided, and they were also her work.
Stupid weasel.
Perona slandered in her mind.
Bailey seemed to sense Perona's malice and turned his head sharply to look at Perona.
Such an unexpected move shocked Perona.
"What, what are you doing?"
Perona felt guilty.
Bailey looked at Perona sideways and snorted: "I feel it."
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Perona was shocked. Could it be that this stupid weasel had learned the high-end domineering spirit that Sister Jia Ya once mentioned
When she thought of this, she was afraid that Bailey would spy on her inner thoughts again, so she subconsciously overidentified and missed Bailey's gaze.
This reaction of avoiding sight directly confirmed Bailey's guess.
"really."
Bailey snorted again, raised his paw and pointed at Perona, like a detective who discovered the truth, and said loudly: "You are in the jealousy den!"
"?"
Perona was stunned when she heard this.
"Humph, jealousy is useless, so you should be more down-to-earth and don't let me feel your jealousy again."
Bailey shook his head and shrugged like a gangster who needed a beating.
“…”
Perona looked at Bailey blankly.
How stupid I was.
He actually thought that this stupid weasel had mastered the ultra-high-end Haki of knowledge and color.
Perona sighed inwardly.
Seeing Perona's negative expression, Bailey sighed in his heart, the existence of genius will inevitably make ordinary people feel ashamed.
... ... ... .
time flies.
In a blink of an eye,
January passed.
During this period, Xia Qi carefully taught Maude and Perona about the principles and usage techniques of life return, and even temporarily closed the bar that was used for extortion.
But after one month of training, the results were not significant.
Maud barely touched the threshold, while Perona and Bailey were still in the clouds.
It can be seen that life return is really a very difficult skill to learn.
During the teaching process, Xia Qi often praised them for doing well enough.
certainly,
Whether it was comfort or not is unclear.
That day, night fell.
After finishing the day's practice, Maude suddenly opened the door of the bar and came outside.
“…”
Maud said nothing, looking clearly at a thick root of the Arqiman mangrove tree not far away.
Just now, while staying in the bar, he noticed a fleeting breath.
And Xia Qi probably noticed it, but didn't pay much attention to it.
But Maude would not be as casual as Xia Qi and immediately walk towards the place where the breath disappeared.
After walking for tens of meters, we came to an exposed root of the Yarkman mangrove tree.
In a conspicuous place at the root of the tree, there is a folded piece of paper nailed to it.
"oh?"
Maude noticed the folded note immediately and raised her eyebrows slightly.
The color of seeing and hearing was turned on, and no breath was felt.
After staying there for a few breaths, Maud immediately took a few steps forward and picked up the folded note that was pinned to the ground.
When he unfolded the note, he saw that it was Mod's feedback from Sabo's investigation into the Straw Hat Pirates' movements some time ago.
"Made it mysterious."
Looking at the content of the note, Maude was stunned at first, and then laughed.
He thought who was responsible for such a secret message, but he didn't expect it to be the revolutionary army.
This kind of behavior is understandable. In a sense, it is safer than using phone bugs to communicate.
but,
The reason why he entrusted Sabo to help investigate the movements of the Straw Hat Pirates.
The purpose is to allow Sabo, who has never been interested in pirates, to gradually stimulate the precious memories sleeping deep in his consciousness during the process of contacting Luffy.
With Sabo's current status and influence in the Revolutionary Army, work such as investigating intelligence would usually be left to his subordinates.
But if Mod had spoken the words himself, Sabo would have done it himself.
As for the motivation for the entrustment, it can be said to be justified due to the master-disciple relationship of Usopp.
"I just don't know how effective it will be. Compared to the news of Ace's death, just investigating and contacting Luffy, the impact on memory is still slightly lacking."
Mod said to himself, then calmed down and read the information about the Straw Hat Pirates on the note.
"Arrived in Alabasta yet?"
"I finally met Weiwei..."
"Destiny is such an interesting thing."
"Huh? Bartolomeo?"
After seeing Bartolomeo's name, Maude was a little surprised.
He was very sure that the Straw Hat Pirates did not have such a number one character in the original work.
Moreover, he had no memory of the name.
"Is it caused by the butterfly effect?"
Maud thought for a moment and continued to read the contents of the note.
