He sat on the chair, facing Tatamu, just pretending that Lafayette was not talking to him.
Seeing Maude's lack of reaction, Lafayette's blood-smeared lips were slightly raised to both sides. He then raised his hand to press the brim of his hat, and put his crutch behind him with his other hand.
"Sorry, maybe I should call you Mr. Usopp."
“…”
Okay, everyone has been named, so Maud can only show her cards.
He turned his head to look at Lafayette, who was smiling, and said blankly: "Are you talking to me?"
"Yes."
Lafayette's expression remained normal.
It was as if he didn't take Maud's pretended confusion seriously.
Maud turned to wonder: "Do I know you?"
Lafayette said straightforwardly: "We have never exchanged names, so we should not know each other."
"Oh, that's okay."
Maud withdrew his gaze and continued to face Tatamu. At the same time, he picked up the wine glass and pretended to drink.
Lafayette didn't mind Maud's indifference at all, and said to himself: "I heard a little bit about what happened in the Tomahawk Tavern a few days ago, but it's a pity that I wasn't there at the time and missed a good show."
“…”
Maude was silent, thinking that at that time everyone wanted to get away from the place of right and wrong as soon as possible. If you were here, you would probably think it was not chaotic enough, right
Lafayette still looked at the silent Maud with a smile, and said calmly: "I'm really impressed that Mr. Usopp was able to remain unscathed in that situation and let the Sharp Ox Pirates and the Abby Pirates fight against each other. Yearning for it.”
“…”
Maud really couldn't figure out Lafayette's intentions and could only remain silent.
Seeing that Maud was determined not to respond, Lafayette still didn't care and suddenly said something with an incorrect preface and an incorrect follow-up.
"This is such a good place."
When he said the words "good place", Lafayette's tone was full of inexplicable satisfaction.
After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Maud and saluted, and immediately walked towards the door of the bar.
When he reached the door, Lafayette stopped and turned his back to Maude.
"Mr. Usopp, my name is Lafayette. When we meet next time, we will be considered acquainted, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lafayette opened the door and left the bar.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Maud looked at the door and frowned slightly.
What on earth is this guy thinking
Not to mention the disguised identity being recognized.
He can associate his identity as the undertaker on the night of the auction with his identity as Usopp in the Tomahawk Tavern a few days ago.
I have to say that I didn’t pay attention specifically.
Maud believed nothing she said.
Maud had a headache at the thought of being targeted by such a mysterious person with unknown intentions.
"I haven't provoked him before, have I?"
To put it bluntly, on the night of the auction, in order to eliminate the risk, he took the initiative to shoot and kill two revenge seekers for him.
It's just that this kind of thing shouldn't happen.
Could it be that Lafayette, like Wolf Rat, also lacks friends?
Maud couldn't understand.
"Ah sneeze!"
Suddenly there was a sound of sneezing in the alley outside the bar.
"Who's thinking about me?"
The sound of the wolf rat talking to himself came from outside.
In the bar, Maude twitched the corner of her mouth.
If it weren't for Lafayette, he would have gone back to the weapons store right now.
Sighing softly in her heart, Maude placed Dark Crow on the chair next to her.
Crunch—
Wolf Rat opened the bar door and walked in.
Wolf Rat was overjoyed when he saw Maud.
"Usopp, you're finally here."
With that said, Wolf Rat closed the door with his backhand, strode to Maud's side and sat on the chair.
"I've been wanting to tell you about the Sharp Ox Pirates and the Aibe Pirates for the past few days, but I don't know where you live, and I'm really worried."
At this point, Wolf Rat looked at Tatamu and asked, "Tatamu, did you show Usopp the note I left?"
"Give it."
"Um."
Wolf Rat nodded, then turned to look at Mod, and said with emotion: "Usopp, we are quite lucky. After escaping that day, Kazite and Abe were seriously injured. They should not be found in a short time. Our trouble."
"yes."
Maud echoed without saltiness.
Seeing that Maud was not as happy as he imagined, the wolf rat turned around, stretched out his index finger towards Tatamu, motioning to get a glass of wine, and then said:
"Tatamu, I saw Lafayette just now. He came to you to buy information?"
Tatamu nodded.
Wolf Rat showed no professional ethics as an intelligence worker and asked curiously: "Tsk, which unlucky guy is he targeting again? Let me reveal it."
"no."
Tatamu refused.
"Hey, stingy."
Wolf Rat waved his hand and said: "By the way, that guy Lafayette is really a dangerous person. Since he came to Mad Hatter Town, hundreds of people have died at his hands."
Hearing Wolf Rat mention Lafayette, Maud's heart moved and she couldn't help but turn her head and look over.
Speaking of unlucky people being targeted, I wonder if he is one of them.
Thinking of this, Maud took the initiative to join the conversation and asked: "Why is this?"
Seeing that Maud was quite interested, Wolf Rat got excited and explained:
"Lafayette was expelled from the country due to excessive violence. For him, there was probably no need for a reason when killing people. Speaking of which, those who died in his hands had nothing to do with him during his lifetime."
"There are still such unreasonable people?"
Maude pretended to know nothing about Lafayette and looked surprised, as if she couldn't believe there was such a person.
Wolf Rat looked at Maud's expression, his eyelids trembled a few times, his face remained calm, but he was thinking in his heart, isn't this the kind of person you are
He has specifically investigated the pirates killed by Mod, including the navigators of the Sharp Ox Pirates and the fish-man slaves who ran away from the auction.
It was originally thought that Maud's motive for killing those people was hatred.
However, the results were irrelevant.
Such investigation results were once beyond comprehension for Wolf Rat.
But whether it is Maude or Lafayette, even if they kill people for no reason, as long as they kill pirates, the wolves and rats will only applaud them while being puzzled.
Especially in a big pirate den like Mad Hatter Town, Wolf Rat hopes that the more people like Maud and Lafayette, the better.
Raising the wine glass that Tatamu pushed over, Wolf Rat sighed in time: "There are many unreasonable people in this place, but Lafayette is more conspicuous."
Maud heard this and agreed: "Yes, but a dangerous person like Lafayette who kills people for no reason should stay as far away from him as possible in the future."
The wolf rat's eyelids twitched slightly again.
Don’t you have any clues in your heart
It was difficult for him to accept Maud's words and he could only remain silent.
Mod was not aware of Wolf Rat's psychological activities, and suddenly asked: "Wolf Rat, how much do you know about Kazite and Abe's injuries?"
Wolf Rat raised his eyebrows and said, "It's basically clear."
"How serious is it?"
"Kazit suffered stab wounds, most of which were on the inner thighs. However, he is an animal-type fruit user, so he can heal in less than half a month.
"As for Abe, he was hit by Kazite's hoof in the front. His internal injuries were serious. He probably won't be able to get out of bed for a month. Why do you ask?"
Wolf Rat looked at Maud in confusion.
Maude smiled.
"Well... Wolf Rat, are you interested in doing something big?"
Chapter 53: Take advantage of his illness to kill him
Big vote
Wolf Rat was shocked and immediately guessed Maud's plan.
"A big ticket? What do you mean?"
Pretending not to understand, Wolf Rat raised his glass and took a long sip.
Maude narrowed her eyes slightly and said seriously: "As the saying goes, kill him while he is sick."
Wolf Rat wanted to end this topic immediately and said: "I have never heard of such a saying."
Maud, however, was not worried about chatting to death, and said indifferently: "It's okay, now you know."
“…”
"Wolf Rat, we don't have much time left, and sitting and waiting for death is not our style. Therefore, we must take the initiative and take advantage of Kazite and Abe's injuries to kill them...!"
Maude's expression was serious, and while the sword was rising and falling, he said with murderous intent: "Otherwise, after they recover from their injuries, they will definitely come to trouble us as soon as possible."
Wolf Rat lowered his head, resisting the urge to slam the wine glass on Maude's head.
If you weren't such a thief, would I still have to worry about this now
Moreover, the reason why I kindly provided you with the information about Abe and Kazite was to get closer to you, not to live and die with you!
Snap!
Seeing that the wolf rat lowered his head and said nothing, Maude took advantage of the victory and reached out to put his hand on the wolf rat's shoulder.
The wolf rat's body trembled slightly, and he looked up at Maud, who saw a look of profound understanding on his face.
Facing the somewhat complicated eyes of the wolf and rat, Maude said seriously:
"Wolf Rat, actually I'm not afraid of the trouble Kazite and Abe come to me at all, but I'm worried about your safety, and we are friends, so I can't just sit idly by!"
"I know that doing this is not only difficult, but also full of danger, but for the sake of my friends, so what, no matter how dangerous it is?"
"So don't worry, Wolf Rat, I swear in the name of Usopp, no matter how dangerous it is, I, Usopp, will definitely help you solve this matter!"
Wolf Rat stared blankly at Maude's emotional words and deeds for a moment, as if he was shocked.
No, he was really shocked.
This world is so...
People who confuse right and wrong!
After being shocked, Wolf Rat suddenly realized a very crucial point.
"Indeed, with the old man 'Spirit Gun' here, Usopp doesn't have to worry about the revenge of Abe and Kazite, but I am different..."
"No, I can't be brought in by Usopp. The person Abe and Kazite are looking for is him and not me, so what should I be afraid of?"
