It reminds me that the call bug from another number was picked up by the Straw Hat boy...
The person in charge of communications seemed to have realized something, and his face became very ugly.
This reaction appeared directly on the face of the phone bug.
"Is it the Straw Hats again? You cunning villains, what happened to Colonel Tina?!"
"???"
Smoker had a question mark.
He was so angry that he almost burst the microphone.
"I'm Smoker!"
“…”
The phone bug was silent again.
After all, the person in charge of communications has been in battle for a long time, and he went straight to business without blushing or heartbeat.
"Concerning the crusade against Crocodile, you performed very well and perfectly fulfilled your order to assist Shichibukai Bacardi. Mod in relieving the crisis in Alabasta!"
"What...are you talking about? The one who defeated Crocodile was not us, nor Mo..."
Smoker looked at the phone bug's calm figure in disbelief.
The person on the other side of the phone interrupted Smoker directly and continued:
"In addition, please inform Colonel Tina that the 'reinforcements' sent by our headquarters will arrive in Alabasta in an hour. By then, please be sure to arrest Nico Robin, the son of the devil, and the vicious Straw Hats. Just wait and see..."
"Hahaha."
Maud burst out laughing.
"Who's laughing?"
The image on the phone bug showed a hint of anger.
Smog had veins on his forehead. He first glanced at Maud who was laughing, and then spoke to the phone bug:
"Who else could it be? Of course it's the Shichibukai Mord who accepted the order from above and helped Alabasta solve the crisis. He's smiling!"
The tone was full of obvious sarcasm.
The phone bug stared directly at Smoker and said coldly: "Watch your tone, Colonel Smoker."
"Go eat shit!"
Smoker hung up the phone bug hard.
In fact, he knew it very well.
According to the style of the World Government, this phone call was nothing more than a "notification".
presumably,
It might be in the afternoon, it might be tomorrow morning.
False reports about events in Alabasta will spread throughout the world within a day.
Maude suppressed her laughter, looked at the angry Smoker, raised her index finger and pointed upward.
"It's fun up there, isn't it?"
Like a pun.
Smoker's face looked particularly ugly.
Since meeting Maud, everything has become extremely bad.
"You look very at ease."
Smoker sneered.
Maud knew what he was referring to, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Isn't it? After all, no matter whether you agree or not, you must regard the 'final conclusion' from above as the truth."
"And I don't need to feel so wronged, and I don't need to listen to the truth."
"For example, I won't admit to this... well, something I haven't done at all. I just don't know how the world government will react."
Speaking of this, Maude seemed to have thought of something interesting and chuckled.
"Maybe this is freedom."
“…”
Smoker and other sailors looked at Mod in surprise, feeling a very uncomfortable feeling in their hearts that was restricted by their identity and position.
And how could they know.
The person who took away Crocodile's last glimmer of hope was indeed the man in front of him.
Chapter 21 Shadow Box and Devil Fruit
If Maud had not come to this world.
The ones who stop the war will be the Straw Hat Pirates.
The one who defeats Crocodile will be Straw Hat Luffy.
But here he comes.
The result is destined, but the process has undergone some changes.
The person who stopped the war in the sense was Maud.
The person who finally killed Crocodile with his own hands was also Mod.
only,
Under the control of Mod, the person who knocked down Crocodile and safely rescued King Kobra of Alabasta was indeed Straw Hat Luffy.
But the World Government obviously won't admit the fact that the people who solved the crisis in Alabasta are a group of rookie pirates.
Not to mention admitting that Crocodile took advantage of his powers as a Shichibukai to carry out this plan to steal the country.
In order to cover up these facts, this notification call was made.
Shichibukai actually wants to steal the country
Oh it's all right.
We will let the other Shichibukai neutralize the threat.
presumably,
For the World Government, it is undoubtedly a great thing that Mod, who is also a Shichibukai, is also in Alabasta.
As long as it is fabricated that Mod was under the orders of the World Government and cooperated with the navy, and then successfully stopped Crocodile.
This also invisibly eliminates some of the bad effects brought about by the identity of the Qibukai.
Just do it in one go.
It’s nothing more than wanting to tell the world a fact.
That is - you see, everything is under control.
Maud thought it was funny.
Naturally, they don’t want the world government to do what they want.
After all, he is not a marine who can only follow orders.
Smoker had no idea what Maud was trying to do.
What is certain is…
What Maud said made him very uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, he couldn't refute it.
After a while.
The reinforcements sent by the navy have not yet arrived, but the navy headed by Tina woke up one after another.
"Tina is very angry!"
Tina finally woke up, and after figuring out the current situation, she walked towards Maud angrily.
"Business matters."
Smoker appeared at the right time and stopped Tina who was overwhelmed by anger.
"Step aside!"
Tina said coldly.
Smoker was unmoved, thinking that even if you rush in front of Maude, the final result will only be to lie down again.
"Tina won't say the same thing a third time, get out of the way!"
But Tina was really angry. Even if she died, she would give Mod a hard punch to eliminate the anger in her heart.
Smoker could understand Tina's mood, but he didn't want to see Tina being played by Mod again.
After all,
Their strength is simply not enough in front of Mod.
"The reinforcements sent by our headquarters are about to arrive. The top priority is to unite the forces and block the escape route of the Devil's Son and the Straw Hats, rather than doing something meaningless."
In order to prevent Tina from jumping into the pit, Smoker quickly brought out the military orders from his headquarters.
When Tina heard this, she immediately clenched her fists.
The murderous eyes looked directly past Smoker and landed on the man who smiled and said nothing.
Compared with the mission of recovering from Mod, rendezvousing with reinforcements, and successfully arresting Nico Robin and the Straw Hats, it is obviously more important.
In desperation, Tina had no choice but to give up.
Half an hour passed.
All the reinforcements dispatched by the headquarters arrived, and there were actually thirty warships, but the warships were not large in size.
Despite this, it is still very powerful.
This kind of handwriting made Maude a little surprised.
but,
He had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
As reinforcements arrived, all navies mobilized and went to coastal and offshore areas in various places.
The warship that Tina belonged to also sailed away from the coast, heading towards the most likely escape route for the Straw Hat Pirates.
At the bow of the ship.
Watching the warships go away one after another, Perona's eyes were filled with shock, and she murmured in a low voice: "With so many troops, can the Straw Hats escape?"
"Ah."
Maud smiled.
There are indeed many troops.
But Alabasta's territory is very vast, and the navy's policy of action is to block all escape routes along the coast.
In this way, the rare troops will only be scattered everywhere and lose their original advantage.
Invisibly, this also increases the chances of the Straw Hats successfully escaping.
Furthermore, if the dragon hasn't left yet, Alabasta might be about to receive a large-scale artificial rainfall.
Anyway, regardless of whether the Straw Hats can break through, Maude is just waiting for the result.
"Let's end it quickly."
Maude thought silently in her heart.
The sooner this matter is over, the sooner he can return to the Shampoo Islands and continue to learn the skills of life return under the guidance of Xia Qi.
Thinking of this, Maude picked up the first volume of Love that Perona had just finished reading.
