"oh."
Maude and Perona walked into the restaurant side by side.
Bailey, who had returned to his original form, squatted on Maude's shoulder, his mouth watering.
Inside the restaurant.
The boss seems to be a man who has experienced many hardships and is used to the world.
So even if a big hole is punched in the wall of the shop, it will not affect his continued business at all.
There is something to say.
Time is money...
But when he saw Maud walking into the store.
The boss suddenly lost his composure.
What I had in mind was to hang a temporarily closed sign outside the restaurant two steps in advance.
Smoker and Dusky looked at Maude who walked into the restaurant with heavy expressions.
Chapter 5 Before the War
The Straw Hats headed straight for the rain feast.
The purpose is self-evident.
Most likely he wanted to knock down the culprit Crocodile here.
But this is obviously unrealistic.
However, with Luffy's blood-locking halo, there shouldn't be any changes.
Maude thought to herself, then ignored the glances of Smoker and Dusky and sat down directly.
Bailey was not in a hurry to feast at this moment, but was looking at Smoker and Dasqi slyly.
With Perona's quiet encouragement, Bailey jumped off the table and came to Smoker and Dusky.
Then,
Bailey twisted his lips.
Smoker and Dasqi immediately became vigilant when they saw this.
However, Bailey didn't care about that and went straight to work, quickly finding all the money from Smoker and Dusky.
"..." Smoker.
"..." Dasqi.
"hey-hey."
Bailey held the found money, smiled at the two wounded men, and then ran back to his seat.
Seeing Bailey running away, several veins appeared on Smoker's forehead, which made him feel like a tiger being bullied by a dog.
Dasqi lowered her head, feeling extremely depressed.
First, he was crushed by Mod with a knife, and then he was treated by the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates. Now he was openly robbed of all his money by a skunk.
Such an experience was really terrible.
After getting the [treat money] from Smoker and Dusky, Bailey ordered all the dishes in the restaurant with a wave of his hand.
Smoker struggled to move his eyes away from Bailey, turned to look at Mod, and asked in a deep voice: "Bacardi Mod, what is your purpose in coming to Alabasta?"
Similar question again...
Maud glanced at Smoker, pretending not to hear, and instead picked up a piece of cranberry pancake and stuffed it into her mouth.
Smoker frowned when he saw this, and when he was about to say something, a shadow snake climbed onto him silently and blocked his mouth tightly.
Dasqi on the side was not spared either. While restrained by a shadow snake, her mouth was also gagged.
Afterwards, it took Moder more than two hours to finish the luxurious lunch in front of Smoker and Dusky.
After eating and drinking, Maud stood up and prepared to leave.
He had to go to Yuyan and get the information prepared by Robin.
"Boss, there's no need to look for you."
When checking out, Bailey slapped all the money that came from Smoker and Dusky on the counter, looking quite proud.
The boss carefully looked at Smoker, who had a terrifyingly dark face, hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted the money.
After paying the bill, Maude led Perona and Bailey out of the restaurant.
From the beginning to the end, Smoker and Dasqi didn't take another look.
After leaving the restaurant and walking dozens of meters, the shadow snake quietly returned to its original body.
I just don’t know how Smoker will react when he regains his freedom.
A few minutes later.
Maude came to the Rain Feast, first left Perona and Bailey in the casino hall, and then went alone to the room where Robin placed the intelligence.
Walking into the room, it was empty.
Maude took out a stack of intelligence materials with clear photos from the agreed desk cabinet.
I took out one of the pages and glanced at it briefly.
The content on paper was indeed as he requested, only compiling information about abilities and names.
In this way, it will be much more convenient.
Maud nodded with satisfaction and used his sense of sight to explore the surroundings.
After confirming that no one was there, Mod summoned his notebook and recorded the information about these ability users one by one.
"Although the overall strength of these senior agents is not strong, they are all capable people after all, and they should be able to bring a lot of benefits."
Maud flipped his palm, and the hunter's note turned into a faint light spot and disappeared in mid-air.
In my memory, except for a few of the Devil Fruit users at Baroque Works, the rest were somewhat funny about the direction of Devil Fruit development.
Saying so,
But regardless of the [direction] issue, these people have been eating Devil Fruit for a long time, so their proficiency will not be any lower.
In other words, under the premise that the amount of intelligence reaches the standard conditions, killing them should be able to gain a lot of Devil Fruit experience.
As for the gains in swordsmanship and domineering, there is basically no gain at all, and it will offset part of the gains in demons and physical fitness.
This is one of the drawbacks that cannot be avoided in the middle and later stages of Hunter's Note.
Maud destroyed the paper recording the information and immediately left the room. He did not go to meet Perona immediately, but explored the rain feast.
There was no sign of the Straw Hats.
And Crocodile and Robin were not at the Rain Feast either.
"Are we about to start? Crocodile's plan to steal the country."
"And... the original historical text involving Hades."
Maude's eyes flashed.
After a while,
He returned to the casino and found Perona and Bailey.
Then,
He saw Bailey lying on the floor, so passive that he almost wanted to die on the spot.
"What's wrong?"
Maud wondered.
Perona pouted and said, "This idiot is in trouble."
Maude understood instantly and glanced at Bailey who wanted to be a mayfly in the next life.
"Let's go to Albana."
After being delayed for three hours, it was time to go to Albana.
Before leaving, Maude glanced at the splendid casino hall.
Since Crocodile is not here, it is a perfect opportunity to exercise his functions as a pirate.
But Mod paid more attention to the improvement of strength, so he could only miss this big piece of meat.
After a while,
The two of them left the casino together.
Bailey transformed into a land chariot again, carrying Maud and Perona towards Albana.
The land tanker drove at high speed in the desert for two hours and crossed a Haihe River on the way.
According to the current traveling speed, it will probably take about two hours to reach Albana.
Due to the lack of intelligence, Moder did not know the current situation of Albana.
I wonder if the war has begun.
Has the Straw Hat Pirates officially clashed with Baroque Works
Anyway, with the style of the Straw Hat Pirates, even if they narrowly defeat the enemy in a life-and-death battle, they can still survive in the end.
In this way, Maude is not worried about his head being robbed.
Continue on from the other side of the Haihe River.
More than an hour later.
Maud saw an unexpected group of people on the dunes ahead.
It turned out to be the Straw Hats.
But Luffy was nowhere to be seen.
Hearing the sound of the Pele tank driving on the desert, the Straw Hats, who were highly vigilant, looked over immediately.
"Eh!"
After seeing the familiar chariot, they were rushing to Albana. They seemed to have seen a precious ray of light in the dark night, and they suddenly showed surprise.
"It's Maud..."
five minutes later.
After picking up Nami and the others, the Bailey tank continued to drive.
"In other words, in order to hold Crocodile back, Luffy chose to stay behind?"
Listening to Nami's explanation, Mod was a little surprised.
"Um."
On the chariot, everyone looked worried.
Even Zoro, a tough guy, could only divert his attention by shaking iron.
Maude pondered and concluded: "We are traveling in the same direction, but when we set off from the rain feast, we did not hear any movement, and we did not encounter Luffy. This shows that... the battle is most likely over."
“…”
Everyone's hearts froze slightly.
"Luffy is so strong, he will be fine."
Usopp comforted everyone at the right time.
Although the effect was minimal, everyone could only choose to believe in Luffy.
Maud did not further provoke them.
In that kind of desert terrain, with Crocodile's Shasha Fruit ability, it is really possible for Luffy to stop here if he doesn't trigger the blood-locking aura.
"Maude, why did you go to Albana..."
