This is a major event in the future.
When Maude slowly came, everything suddenly became as clear as the veins on the leaves.
Luo finally understood the direction Maud had been looking at.
That is a road forged by blood and bones.
By then, countless lives will become a cold number.
so what
Luo didn't care at all.
He stood alone in the room, silently looking at the closed door.
"In this unprecedented war, let's deal with Doflamingo..."
With the words Maud said before leaving echoing in his mind, Luo's arms exerted slight force, causing the Guiwei scabbard to sink into his clothes.
A cold luster slowly appeared in his eyes as he looked at the door.
Chambord Islands, Naval Branch.
It's meal time.
Commodore Ayden, the head of the Naval Branch of the Shampoo Islands, sat at the dining table with a sad look on his face.
There were delicious dishes on the dining table that were colorful and fragrant. Most of them were the dishes he usually liked to eat, but he had no appetite this time.
Tell me why.
Of course it’s not because people in middle age have more worries.
Rather, the monster's return.
"well."
Brigadier General Aiden sighed softly, slowly put down his knife and fork, leaned on his forehead, and rubbed the missing half of his eyebrows with his fingertips as a habit.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door was pushed open forcefully.
The adjutant wearing a military cap rushed into the room in a panic.
Such momentum frightened Brigadier General Aiden to slip his elbow. Even before the adjutant said what he meant, he already had a bad feeling.
What the adjutant said subsequently confirmed what Brigadier General Aiden was thinking.
"Brigadier Eden, Mo, Mo, Maude..."
"What!?"
Brigadier General Aiden suddenly stood up and stared at the adjutant with wide eyes.
The adjutant suddenly looked confused and thought, "Have I not finished speaking yet?"
Looking at the confused adjutant, Brigadier General Aiden realized that he had overreacted, pretended to cough a few times, sat down slowly, and took a sip of water.
Seeing this, the adjutant hesitated and said: "Well... Brigadier General Aiden, you already know what I am going to report to you?"
"I don't know." Brigadier General Aiden held the water glass and frowned: "Just tell me, it won't be a good thing anyway."
The adjutant smiled bitterly upon hearing this, straightened his posture, and reported in a deep voice: "An hour ago, the supernova Haiming Apu, who had just landed on the Shampoo Islands recently, was killed by Maude..."
“…”
Brigadier General Aiden nodded expressionlessly.
News like this was already expected by him.
Anyway, he has given up the idea of trying to steal food from Maud.
As for being criticized by the public, it doesn’t matter.
The adjutant then reported: "Just now, Maude came to our branch with the body of Haiming Apu..."
"Crack!"
This was the sound of Brigadier General Eden crushing the water glass.
One minute later.
Reception room.
Maude sat on the sofa and looked sideways at the familiar naval officer in front of her.
And this naval officer was naturally Brigadier General Aiden who came in a hurry.
now,
As the highest-ranking naval officer in the branch, Commodore Aiden acted submissively in front of Maude.
Mod came to the naval branch of the Shampoo Islands specifically this time, intending to ask the branch navy for information on the movements of other supernovae, and by the way, exchange Hai Ming Apu's body for an equal amount of bounty.
Normally, exchanging pirate corpses for bounties requires a tedious process.
But Mod has the privilege of skipping the process and getting the bounty as quickly as possible.
Even so, it will take some time for the branch to mobilize hundreds of millions of funds.
Maud did not urge him, but quietly looked at Brigadier General Aiden in front of him, unconsciously assessing how much experience points the other party could bring to him.
That appraising gaze was somewhat malicious.
Brigadier General Aiden suddenly felt needles stabbing his back, his eyebrows were lowered, and he did not dare to look at Maude.
ten minutes later.
A navy man came to the drawing room with a suitcase of money.
With the money coming, Brigadier General Aiden felt relieved and hoped that this scourge would leave as soon as possible.
Maude took the cash box, but had no intention of getting up and leaving, and looked at Brigadier General Aiden calmly.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Well?"
Brigadier General Aiden was stunned and didn't recover for a while.
Mod weighed the weight of the money box, and didn't bother to know Brigadier General Aiden's name. He said casually: "I need information on the movements of the supernovas. You should be able to get it, right?"
“…”
Brigadier General Aiden's breath caught in his throat.
If only I could turn my thoughts into reality.
He should have cut Maude into pieces by now.
Half an hour later.
Maud obtained information on the movements of the supernovas.
Except for Apu, the gluttonous girl Bonny, and the weird monk Ulgi, among the other supernovas, the ones who can reach the Shampoo Islands the fastest are the Straw Hat Pirates who are currently the hottest topic.
"We're going to meet again."
Maud looked down at the intelligence information on the paper and muttered to himself.
... ... ...
Two days later.
Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.
"Bang!"
Warring States slapped the table hard, and a few veins were floating in the corners of his eyes behind the mirror frame.
As a naval marshal, he rarely lost his temper like this.
"Why did the 'news' get out?"
Sengoku, in a rage, stared at the chestnut-headed naval admiral in charge of intelligence.
The solid momentum made the latter somewhat breathless.
The chestnut-headed navy's lips moved, but he couldn't answer Sengoku's question.
From his position, the news was indeed completely blocked.
But who would have thought that the news that Fire Fist Ace was captured by the navy would spread all over the world in an instant.
If that's just it, forget it, who knows who the bastard is, adding fuel to the fire-fisted Ace incident by the Navy.
Why is Ace the Fire Fist the bloodline of Roger the Pirate King
What a joke.
The chestnut-headed navy muttered bitterly to himself.
only,
How could he know.
When the marshal in front of him, who he respected, asked why the news was leaked, the target in his mind was not the Navy's arrest of Fire Fist Ace, but the fact that Fire Fist Ace was a bloodline of the Pirate King.
Only a very few people knew about this matter.
Now that the golden lion has returned to the sea, at this juncture, the fact that Fire Fist Ace is the bloodline of the Pirate King is being widely publicized, which will inevitably make Sengoku's thoughts wander.
Who is it
Zeng Guo frowned, and familiar figures passed through his mind.
It can't be them.
In an instant, the Warring States Period came to a conclusion.
He didn't speak, and neither did the chestnut-headed navy.
There was a deathly silence in the office.
at this time,
General He walked into the office.
Warring States looked up at Lieutenant General He and waved his hand to let the chestnut head navy leave.
Lieutenant General He stood to one side with a calm face, watching the chestnut-headed navy officer walk out of the office.
Then, she looked at Warring States and said calmly: "What are you going to do?"
"Execute Fire Fist Ace in advance."
Warring States rubbed his brows, unable to hide his sadness.
Calling elites from all over the world to the Navy Headquarters is not something that can be done with just a few clicks.
That takes time to prepare.
Moreover, this is an execution of great significance, and before it begins, it is necessary to inform the whole world.
For this reason, even if the Whitebeard Pirates were given time to prepare, they would not hesitate.
Lieutenant General He looked at Sengoku and said calmly: "Let's summon the Shichibukai first."
Warring States nodded.
What he is most worried about right now is not the threat from the Whitebeard Pirates, but the Golden Lion who has returned to the stage after an absence of twenty years.
"Woo-"
Suddenly, a sharp sound echoed throughout the naval base.
"Boom."
Almost at the same time as the alarm sounded, there was a deafening roar, and the entire base suddenly shook.
Warring States and Lieutenant General He both had their eyes fixed.
Chapter 37: Old Enemy
A shrill siren echoed over Malinvando.
The moment the alarm sounded, all the navy in the headquarters immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
