Maud smiled slightly and said seriously: "It's just... I have a better chance of winning than you."
"Um?"
Ace raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "You are really confident, Maud."
As he spoke, Ace's body glowed with flames again.
This is the signal before the fight starts again.
Until then, Ace had made no excuses for the gunshot wound to his elbow.
Although this gunshot wound has something to do with Luffy.
However, before he was shot, his defense had reached its limit.
Luffy's screams were just the result of speeding up his defense.
He had to admit that from the beginning of the battle, he had been suppressed by Mord until he was shot.
But a gunshot wound didn't mean he was defeated.
Seeing Ace getting ready to start fighting again, Mod showed no intention of responding. He just raised his hand and pointed at Luffy, who was also shot.
to be honest,
Mod also didn't expect that one of the stray bullets from the daytime fireworks would hit Luffy, and it was also wrapped with a special bullet in an armed color...
Otherwise, it wouldn't have penetrated Luffy's rubber body.
All I can say is that Luffy is a bit unlucky.
Ace turned his head to look at Luffy, who was bleeding from his waist and abdomen.
At this moment, he didn't care about fighting with Mod, and came to Luffy's side as quickly as possible.
"Luffy, are your injuries okay?"
"It's okay, and it doesn't hurt at all!"
After hearing Ace's words, Luffy stood up like a tough guy, with a stern expression on his face that said nothing had happened to him.
It didn't hurt at all, but the sweat oozing from his face undoubtedly exposed his current condition.
"You just look like you're in pain!!!"
Nami and the others yelled at Luffy.
"Have it?"
Luffy held on.
"have!!!"
The crowd roared again.
Looking at Luffy's appearance, Ace scratched his cheek and immediately looked at Mod in the distance.
"never mind… "
Ace let out a breath and glanced at his bleeding elbow.
There are bullets wrapped in armed colors.
Even in the new world, there are not many snipers who can do this.
Bacardi Mod…
I got to see this man's strength today.
Seeing Mod and Ace stop their actions so simply, Nami and the others couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
They thought that these two men who were as strong as monsters were going to fight to the death.
As far as the current result is concerned, it is fortunate.
"Chopper, wake up quickly."
"Well… "
"Luffy is injured and needs you to help him take care of his injury!"
"Eh."
Chopper opened his eyes suddenly and wanted to get up, but he was so weak from thirst that he couldn't move.
Just then, a water bag flew over.
Zoro was the closest, catching the water bag like a reflex, and immediately looked in the direction in which the water bag flew.
The person who threw the water bag was Maude.
In an environment like the desert, water is the most precious daily commodity.
So Maud brought a lot of water with him before coming to Alabasta.
Giving them a water bag at this moment is nothing.
Everyone looked at Maud, who was throwing the water bag as if nothing had happened, with slightly strange expressions.
Just now, they clearly acted like they were going to escort Luffy to the Marine Headquarters, and they also fought a battle with Ace that almost made them deeply depressed.
Now it's like nothing happened.
What is the man in front of me thinking
"What are you doing standing there? Why don't you quickly feed Chopper some water?"
Maud came nearby, used shadows to construct a set of sunshade chairs, and immediately sat on them, looking at the Straw Hats with an indifferent expression.
Perona floated to Maud's side, took off one of the water bags she was carrying, and then handed it to Bailey.
Bailey took the water bag, opened the stopper and took a few sips, then Xian Nian's spirit improved a little.
Zoro silently glanced at Maud who was sitting on the sunshade chair, opened the water bag, and fed Chopper some water.
After a while, Chopper, who had been rehydrated, finally regained his mobility and began to perform his duties as a ship's doctor, helping Luffy and Ace bandage their injuries.
Usopp came to Maude and hesitated to speak.
"Why, were you scared by me?"
Mod looked at the much stronger Usopp, raised his finger, controlled the shadow, and formed a chair in front of Usopp.
"sit."
"Uh, Master, you..."
Usopp subconsciously sat down and looked at Mod with a strange expression.
He seemed to realize something.
Mod chuckled and said, "Sending Luffy to the Navy Headquarters was just a casual comment from me. I didn't expect you to take it seriously."
“…”
Everyone, including Ace, couldn't help but remain silent.
You've already used the special code, can you not take it seriously? ?
This is what I thought in my heart, but it was impossible to say it in front of Maude.
As long as Mod doesn't take action against Luffy, it's great news for them.
"As expected of an idol, he can make everyone take him seriously even if he makes a joke casually!"
Bartolomeo looked adoringly at Maud, who was sitting on the sun-shaded chair.
"???"
Everyone looked at Bartolomeo speechlessly.
If there is a crazy fan in the One Piece world, then it must be him.
Mod didn't pay attention to Bartolomeo's performance and looked at the injuries on Luffy's waist and abdomen.
It seems quite serious. I wonder if it will affect the subsequent crusade against Crocodile.
There's no way Luffy's direction of defeating Crocodile could be changed just because of a gunshot wound, right
If that's the case...
The picture was so beautiful that Maude couldn't even imagine it.
"Should I intervene..."
Maude thought silently.
Speaking of which, Crocodile still has many capable people under his command.
It's just that he and Crocodile are both from the Qibukai, so how can they blatantly fight each other.
It's not impossible to use trippers secretly, but it can't be too obvious.
After thinking for a moment, Maude decided to wait and see the movements of the Straw Hats.
"Where are you planning to go?"
"Jubah."
The person who spoke was Weiwei.
In fact, she didn't think much about it when answering Maud's question.
I just vaguely felt the need to answer.
"Oh, then let me give you a ride."
Maud heard this and said this.
"Eh?!"
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
Chapter 242 The wonderful use of shadow fruit
Give us a ride…
What does this mean
The Straw Hats looked at Maude with wide eyes.
"Why, don't you want to?"
Maud stood up slowly and calmly looked at the Straw Hats who couldn't hide their surprise.
"I don't want to... wuwu..."
The stubborn Luffy was about to refuse on the spot, but mid-sentence, Usopp and Nami joined forces to silence him in time.
"Yes, yes!"
Then, Nami, Usopp, and even Bartolomeo, who had the least say, decisively made the decision for Luffy.
Mod's strength lies here, and having him accompany you all the way is tantamount to being protected by your thighs.
Only a fool would refuse such a good thing when it comes to your door.
That's right,
Their captain is a fool! ! !
Nami and Usopp thought silently in their hearts, while tightening their grip on Luffy's mouth.
Sanji and Zoro glanced at Luffy who was cast into the Great Silence Jutsu.
In fact, they also tended to let Maud go with them.
After all, Crocodile's troops are far superior to them, and there is also a so-called Baroque Working Society.
In such a disparity in military strength, having such a powerful Mord as his companions would be of no disadvantage.
Weiwei, who is concerned about the future of the country, wants this even more.
Ace glanced at Mod and didn't interfere too much.
He came here after receiving news that the Blackbeard Pirates were in Alabasta.
Meeting Luffy was more of a casual encounter.
