"Ah, has Maud left already?"
The Straw Hats, who didn't wake up until dawn, didn't know that Maud had left until now.
"How could this happen... I haven't had time to hug my idol's lap...!!!"
Upon hearing the news that Maude had left, Bartolomeo felt as if he was struck by lightning.
He spent the whole night thinking about it in bed yesterday, and finally plucked up the courage to ask Maud to take him with him during the meal today.
However,
Maude did not give him this chance.
Lost, sad.
Bartolomeo couldn't help crying.
This slightly exaggerated reaction attracted consolation from the Straw Hats.
They knew that Bartolomeo went to sea just for Mod, and even gave up the power rooted in Rogge Town.
Usopp was still feeling disappointed because his master didn't say hello to him before he left, but when he saw Bartolomeo crying like this, he suddenly felt ashamed.
"do not Cry."
Luffy was playing with a phone bug he picked up from somewhere in his hand, and patted Bartolomeo's shoulder hard with his other hand, and said carelessly:
"Anyway, I will knock Maude down sooner or later. By then, you will be able to see Maude again."
In order to become the Pirate King, both the Shichibukai and the Four Emperors were the targets of Luffy's defeat.
"Luffy, please don't! Mod is scary!"
Chopper, who had been frightened by Mod's strength, hugged Luffy's thigh tightly and tried to persuade him with tears in his eyes.
"Knock you down, that's my master!!!"
"How could you defeat my idol!!!"
Usopp and Bartolomeo couldn't care less about their loss. They pounced on Luffy with sharp teeth and shook Luffy's body vigorously.
Luffy let them shake his body.
He had just uttered big words a second ago, but now he was picking his nose while looking at Zoro, who was leaning against the wall and sleeping soundly.
To be more precise, he was looking at Chidori and Huazhou beside Zoro.
"Huh?"
Luffy seemed to have discovered a new world, ignoring Usopp and Bartolomeo's harassment. With a little force, his arm suddenly stretched out, grabbing Chidori and Huazhou in his hands.
Zoro felt something in his sleep. When he suddenly opened his eyes, he saw Luffy's hand holding Chidori and Kashu's scabbard.
"!!!"
Zoro was startled, his body tensed up, and he subconsciously wanted to snatch the knife back.
But Luffy retracted his arm first and took Chidori and Huazhou back.
"Zoron, where did this knife come from? It looks really good!"
Luffy looked at Chidori and Hanazhou with bright eyes.
Seeing that Luffy had taken away the knife, Zoro's tense body relaxed slightly.
"Maude gave it to me before she left."
"What!?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Zoro in unison.
"how?"
Zoro looked at the reactions of his companions in surprise.
"Did Maud look for you before he left?"
"No, why would Maud give you a knife?"
Everyone said in unison.
"How do I know? No matter what he gave me the knife for, what is certain is that I owe him a favor."
Zoro stood up and walked towards Luffy, wanting to get Chidori and Hanazhou back.
Feng Clay approached Luffy and carefully looked at the Huazhou in Luffy's hand, unable to hide his surprise.
"This knife is Mr. 11's Huazhou. It is one of the fifty craftsmen of the property. It is a rare and good knife, but the quality of the other knife seems to be even higher than that of Huazhou!"
"How much money can be sold?"
Nami asked reflexively.
Feng Clay said seriously: "At least 10 million Baileys is the starting point, but there is no market for it!"
"Wow!"
Nami looked at Chidori and Huazhou with starry eyes, as if looking at a lot of Baileys.
Usopp looked at Chidori and Huazhou, thinking that if the master didn't say hello to him before leaving, he even gave Zoro two good swords.
Thinking of this, Usopp became even more disappointed.
People who don't know, think that Maud's apprentice is Sauron.
Zoro took Chidori and Huazhou back from Luffy's hands and looked at Usopp on the side.
"By the way, Usopp, Mod asked me to tell you before he left, but..."
"but?"
"I forgot."
Zoro said seriously.
“…”
Usopp was silent for a while, then suddenly let go of Luffy and turned towards Zoro.
"How could you forget such an important thing!!!"
Usopp roared with sharp teeth, wanting to strangle Zoro directly.
"Didn't I tell you this?" Zoro pushed away Usopp's nose that almost touched his cheek.
"Asshole, do you know how disappointed I am!!!"
Usopp became even more angry.
Sauron felt wrong and remained silent.
"Bulu Bulu..."
At this moment, a rhythmic sound came from Luffy's hand.
It was the sound of a phone bug calling.
Only then did everyone realize that Luffy had a strange phone bug in his hand.
"Luffy, where did this phone bug come from?"
"Oh, this."
Luffy held up the phone bug and explained, "I just went out to look for food and picked it up."
"This phone bug..."
Everyone's eyes fell on the blue and white stripes on the volute of the telephone bug.
This unique mark seems to be... the exclusive style of the navy!
Immediately afterwards, they saw Luffy holding the microphone and quickly stopped him.
"Luffy, don't answer!"
As soon as their words left their mouths, Luffy had already picked up the phone.
"This is the sea..."
"Hey, I'm Luffy, the man who wants to become the Pirate King."
“…”
He was interrupted before he finished speaking, and the other side of the phone suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Luffy looked at the phone strangely and asked in confusion: "Hey, is there anyone?"
“…”
There was still silence on the other side of the phone.
Snap.
After a few seconds, the call was hung up.
"Who is this? How rude."
Hearing the hang-up sound, Luffy put down the phone in disgust.
As soon as he put down the phone, he immediately noticed the very familiar murderous gazes coming from all around.
"Luffy!!!"
There was a sudden noise in the room.
With Maud's departure, their journey, although slightly changed, will still move forward in a straight line.
... ... ... .
The perspective returns to the warship.
The sound of a phone call came from the cabin.
Everyone on the deck couldn't help but look towards the cabin.
Maude seemed to have thought of something and said with interest: "This may be a particularly important 'telecommunication'."
After guessing who the caller would be, Mod was curious about how the world government would deal with the negative impact of the Alabasta theft incident.
The marines were stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Mod said.
Maude looked at them who were unmoved and reminded helplessly: "Didn't you hear the sound? Why don't you hurry up and get the phone bug?"
"oh oh!"
Forced by the majesty shown by Maude, a young navy man in charge of communications rushed into the cabin and took out the phone that kept ringing.
Then, the marine holding the phone bug, maybe because he hadn't recovered yet, actually walked up to Maude and wanted to hand the phone bug to Maude.
“…”
Maud was speechless.
On the other hand, other navies were also a little confused.
Especially Smoker, his face is as dark as he wants.
Maud sighed softly and pointed at Smoker, who was kneeling on the ground unable to move.
"Your boss is over there."
"Eh!"
The young navy finally came to his senses and wanted to dig a hole on the spot and jump into it.
But before implementing this idea, he sent the phone bug to Smoker first.
Maude was considerate and released the control effect on Smoker's arm.
Smoker glanced at Maude, resisted the shame, and answered the phone.
"Hello."
“…”
Hearing Smoker's voice, the other side of the phone was inexplicably silent.
From their point of view, the person who answered the phone should be Tina, but it turned out that a man answered the phone.
