Some kindness is worth remembering for a lifetime.
Whether it's Sunny Sol or Sabo who once saved his life...
Betty and other revolutionary troops looked at Maude in surprise.
You know, in terms of [Phaseality], the Transparent Fruit is an extremely rare Devil Fruit for the Revolutionary Army's [Great Cause].
It's not easy to get one, but Mod actually wants to find another Devil Fruit with similar abilities.
This kind of thing is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, right
But from the tone in which Maud said this, it seemed that it was not difficult.
But they still find it very convincing.
After all, the revolutionary troops who came here did not stay too long. Under the watch of Mod, they formed a group and headed towards Albana.
A team of dozens of people walked in the scorching sun.
After walking far away, Betty quickly looked back at Sunny, who was walking in the middle of the team.
"Long, what do I think... you waited here for most of the day, not to see Maud with your own eyes, but to let Sunny meet Maud."
"No need to think twice."
Long stared ahead, as if he didn't want to say more.
But due to Betty's character, she did not go with the flow. Instead, she held a cigarette in her mouth and said firmly: "It seems that I guessed it right."
“…”
Long was silent.
But sometimes, silence equals acquiescence.
... ... .
The wasteland of Jubah.
As the dragon left, the wind stopped and the sand stopped.
As soon as Maud came back, he saw an old and thin man in the team.
And after hearing Luffy loudly muttering about how unreasonable the sudden sandstorm was, Weiwei on the side looked puzzled.
Ace looked thoughtfully at Mod, who had left for a while and then returned.
It's getting late.
Today we are destined to spend the night in Juba.
A few days later.
The men who followed Pika to Alabasta finally discovered Pika's body where the red rocks were scattered.
"Lord Pika actually..."
The moment they saw Pika's body, the group of men were shocked and speechless for a long time.
Then,
They soon noticed that in addition to the conspicuous stab wounds, there were large areas of burns on Pika's dry body whose water had been evaporated.
Not only that, there were very clear traces of fire on the red rocks scattered around.
Such traces are obviously not caused by ordinary flames.
Unless it's... a person with abilities!
"How is this going?"
They knew that the Straw Hats included Zoro, who was good at wielding a knife, and Usopp, the sniper, but there would never be anyone with the ability to use fire.
How could they, who were not at the scene, know that the large burns on Pika's body were actually caused by the aftermath of the battle between Maud and Ace.
Their duty is to send all the findings, including the news of Pika's death, back to Dressrosa.
After learning about Pika's death, Doflamingo and everyone else in the palace of Dressrosa were shocked.
Based on their knowledge, they never think that the Straw Hats can kill Pika.
soon,
Fire Fist Ace appeared in Rapeseed Flower City some time ago, and the information that he had eaten several Overlord meals was sent to Doflamingo.
This information was naturally connected to the burns on Pika's body and the large burn marks remaining on the surrounding rocks.
"Fire Fist Ace...Whitebeard's second team captain...why...!!!"
Doflamingo's veins were exposed, his ferocious aura was radiating from his body, and he looked ruthless as he chose others to devour.
at the same time.
Ace, who followed the Straw Hats to the rainy land of Alabasta, sneezed several times inexplicably.
"Ace, do you have a cold? Let Chopper take a look at it for you. His medical skills are very good!"
Seeing Ace sneezing and sneezing, Luffy, a young man who was recovering from his injuries and was in good spirits, immediately asked with concern.
On the side, Chopper, who heard Luffy's praise, couldn't help but turn into a seaweed and twist around.
Ace, who didn't know he was taking the blame, waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to.
He also had to confirm the information that the Blackbeard Pirates had appeared in Alabasta.
Immediately, he acted vigorously and resolutely. As soon as his front feet reached the rainy ground, his back feet separated from Luffy.
Lord of Shadow Stream
Chapter 1: There is no shame in abandoning your sword in front of me.
Rainland, known as the dream city of Alabasta, is also the base camp of Crocodile.
With abundant water resources, it is a veritable oasis.
The Straw Hats first arrived in the rainy land, and after parting with Ace, they couldn't wait to rush to the street.
“So lively…”
People were coming and going on the street, and the noisy sounds filled my ears.
Such a prosperous scene seems unaffected by the civil unrest.
The Straw Hats stared blankly at the prosperous scene in front of them, inevitably thinking of Yuba, which is now in ruins.
There is really a world of difference between the two.
Maude did not go with the Straw Hats, but led Perona and Bailey towards the casino standing in the middle of the lake.
This splendid casino is Crocodile's property - Yuyan.
By the time the Straw Hats reacted, Maud had disappeared.
"Where's Maud?"
“So hungry and thirsty!!!”
"It's strange, he was still there just now."
"I want to eat!!!"
“Could it be that you’re going to the casino?!”
"I want to drink!!!"
"It's so noisy!"
"Bang—"
After Nami knocked down Luffy with one punch, she raised her eyes to look at her companions present and said seriously: "In short, the top priority is to replenish supplies, especially purified water."
"Um."
Weiwei and the others were convinced.
This trip to the rainy land, if not for meeting Maud on the way, he might have died of thirst on the way.
It can be seen that when there is a loser in the team, it is better to sacrifice the team's traveling speed and bring more supplies.
"Wow, Luffy-senpai, come and take a look, there is a super handsome car here!!!"
At some point, Bartolomeo ran to the door of a restaurant a hundred meters away, waving his hands and shouting at Luffy and others in the distance.
Next to him, parked was a domineering motorcycle with a metallic luster.
"oh!!!"
Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were immediately attracted by the domineering motorcycle. They ignored Nami's next instructions and ran to Bartolomeo's side.
"so hot!"
Usopp looked at this motorcycle with obvious signs of modification with bright eyes.
Luffy and Chopper were even more direct, reaching out to touch around on the motorcycle.
"It's just that I always feel... this car looks so familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere."
Usopp's excitement passed, he held his chin with his hand, tilted his head and frowned as he looked at the motorcycle in front of him.
"Usopp-senpai, after hearing what you said, I feel the same way."
Bartolomeo seemed to be awakened. He tilted his head and looked at the motorcycle, frowning and thinking.
"Listening to what you said, I seem to have seen this car somewhere."
Luffy slowly retracted his hand, also holding his chin, and tilted his head to look at the motorcycle.
"Where have you seen it?"
Luffy, Usopp, and Bartolomeo whispered in unison.
Only Chopper was still jumping up and down on the motorcycle, looking like he was so excited that he couldn't find the north.
Inside the restaurant.
"Colonel Smoker, it's so noisy outside. They seem to be talking about cars or something."
Taking a seat at a dining table, Dasqi pushed up the frame of the mirror and looked doubtfully in the direction of the door.
Smoker, who was sitting on the seat next to her, also looked at the door expressionlessly.
Speaking of cars, the motorcycle parked at the door belongs to him.
If it weren't for this motorcycle, which was specially modified to cope with the desert terrain, and the driving force brought by the Yanyan Fruit, he and Dasqi wouldn't have been able to reach the rainy land so quickly.
Unfortunately, his motorcycle can only carry one person, so except for Dusky, the other marines are still on their way to the rainy land.
"I gonna go see."
Smoker suddenly stood up and strode to the door of the restaurant.
He stretched out his hands to push open the door and walked out of the restaurant. At first sight, he saw Luffy, Usopp, and Bartolomeo standing in front of his motorcycle, looking like they were thinking with their heads tilted.
Turning his eyes slightly, he saw a civet cat jumping happily on the motorcycle's cushion.
Smoker couldn't help but remain silent.
Hearing the sound of the restaurant door being pushed open, Luffy and others all looked over.
When he saw Smoker, he couldn't help but remain silent.
"Wow, Luffy, Usopp, Bartolomeo, this leather pad is so soft and flexible. Do you want to come up and try it, try it, try it..."
Chopper suddenly noticed the change in the atmosphere, stopped slowly, and stared at Smoker, who was standing at the door of the restaurant with a fierce look on his face.
From such a distance, he could even clearly see the veins on Smoker's forehead trembling slightly.
"The straw hat gang!"
Smoker looked at Luffy and the others who had fallen into the trap with fierce eyes, and spoke word by word.
... ... ... ... ..
the other side.
Maude came to the entrance of the Rain Feast.
