Xia Qi said seriously: "So, do you want to stay here and wait for Maude to come?"
Hawkins said calmly: "This is exactly the purpose of my visit."
Half an hour later.
"Come on, don't save me any money, just drink!"
Urki held the most expensive wine in the bar and kept helping Hawkins refill the wine.
Hawkins looked at the overflowing wine glass in front of him with an expressionless face, unable to adapt to Ulki's inexplicable enthusiasm.
If he knew that Ulki already regarded him as his second younger brother in his heart, he wouldn't know what to think.
Perona came over and looked at the fortune-telling cards that Hawkins was playing with.
"Hey, is your divination accurate?"
“…”
Hawkins glanced at Perona and remained silent.
Perona's eyes widened and she raised her voice and said, "I'm asking you a question."
Hawkins sighed softly in his heart and said perfunctorily: "Believe it or not."
"Tsk, he looks like a magic stick."
Ulki muttered quietly from the side.
However, his small voice was just a normal voice to others.
Perona ignored Ulki's comment, first subconsciously glanced at her not-so-conspicuous breasts, and then looked at Hawkins expectantly.
"Then you can help me divine and see if my figure will become sexier in two years, no, within one year?"
"???"
Hawkins looked as if he had seen a ghost, although there were indeed a few ghosts floating around Perona...
"By the way, help me with some divination."
Urki stretched out his strong arm to hold Hawkins' shoulders and said seriously: "Look at my perfect muscles. Is there any room for improvement? If I can improve, how long will it take to become more perfect?"
"???"
Sweat ran down Hawkins' spine.
Am I... in the wrong place
Hawkins shook his head and sighed in his mind.
Forget it, suck it up.
The card that was divined before the visit suddenly flashed in his mind, predicting a bloody disaster.
As long as you stay here, you will surely encounter a bloody disaster that may lead to death.
but…
As long as you get through it, you will get the results you want.
Before that, he had to deal with these two idiots next to him who would also face a bloody disaster.
Hawkins endured the discomfort and took out the fortune telling cards.
"Which of you goes first?"
This is the magician's compromise.
Chapter 140: Only one day
World Economic News Mobile News Agency.
President's office.
Morgans, one of the giants of the dark world, sat at his desk and looked at the Morde bounty order on the table with excitement.
In just one day, Mod's bounty order, which skyrocketed from 500 million to 1.98 billion, appeared all over the world.
Countless people were shocked.
Even the well-informed Morgans was shocked when he got the news.
In his career experience, he has never seen such an exaggerated increase in bounties.
"As expected of you, Bacardi Mod, you have single-handedly shaken up a world that has not seen any change or innovation in the past twenty years."
Morgans' eyes flashed.
Ever since the newspaper company decided to allocate a lot of resources to Maude, the sales volume of the newspaper has been rising steadily.
But his wisest decision was tantamount to entrusting the heavy responsibility to Turkey Dada.
“This is a rare opportunity to make a big splash, don’t miss it!”
Morgans was so excited that he couldn't hide his smile, stretched out his hand and picked up the phone bug.
"Let Dada come over."
"OK."
There was a response from the phone bug.
A few minutes later,
The high-spirited Dada opened the office door and strode in.
"President Morgans, are you rushing to publish two pages of the newspaper?"
Dada closed the office door with his backhand and looked at Morgans sitting in front of the office with bright eyes.
"That's right, and it should be a 'double-front page', and even the back page should be filled with reports related to Mod."
Morgans picked up Mod's bounty order and spoke with great energy, a mantra that would never change again in his life: "After all, this is big news!"
"Oh... you are so wise, President Morgans."
Dada looked at the handsome photo of Mord in Morgans' hand with a face full of intoxication.
Morgans looked at Dada, his eyes flashing like flashlights, and solemnly said: "Then this important task will be left to you, Dada."
"I promise not to disappoint the president!"
Dada subconsciously straightened his body, unable to contain his excitement.
Morgans nodded and said, "So, have you thought about the 'title' yet?"
"certainly!"
Dada raised his head slightly, his face glowing red, and he said in a tone of great admiration: "This new era will be named Bacardi Mod!!!"
"Uh, is this the headline you were thinking of?"
"No, no, this is just my true feelings from the bottom of my heart."
“…”
"By the way, President Morgans, the World Government has been putting pressure on newspapers and wants us to control public opinion reports that are beneficial to them, so... even if we don't agree to them, should we restrain ourselves a little bit in the subsequent reports?"
"If the reports about Maude ask you to restrain yourself, will you do so?"
"Won't."
Dada simply shook his head.
That was simply his lifeblood.
When Morgans saw this, he slapped Dada on the head.
"We are serious newspapers, so we don't have to worry too much. Besides... we are kindly trying to divert the attention of the World Government and the Navy!"
"Understood, President Morgans!"
... ... ... ...
Maud's latest bounty spread across the world in a day.
Subsequently,
As a leading newspaper agency, World Economic News is a rare publication that publishes two consecutive editions of a newspaper.
Both editions of the newspaper are related to Maude.
New World, Wano Country, Ghost Island.
"Bang, click..."
The sounds of various things being broken and smashed came from Kaido's room filled with the smell of wine.
There was even a slight vibration.
The commotion was so loud that the members of the Beast Pirates on the island fell into silence.
Even though they were far apart, they could clearly feel Kaido's anger.
no way.
Who allowed that damn redhead to ruin Lord Kaido's rare high mood
Forget it, [Joker] still died in the battle on the top.
That is an extremely important trading partner that can provide the team with artificial devil fruits...
I don’t know what impact it will have on the future development of the team.
"Mr. Kaido is still angry."
Disaster Quinn, one of the three plagues of the Beast Pirates, dragged his round body to the flat ground outside Kaido's dormitory.
Next to Plague Quinn is Flame Ember, one of the three plagues.
"Today's newspapers and reward orders have intensified Lord Kaido's anger."
"What newspapers and reward orders?"
The three layers of flesh under Quinn's neck trembled, with a look of confusion on her face.
Jin glanced at Quinn coldly and said, "You idiot, do you only think about that courtesan Xiao Zi?"
Quinn said seriously: "That's a woman that even Mr. Kaido is attracted to. She is all I can think about. Isn't that too much?"
Hearing this, Jin's eyes became colder.
"Ah, so what's with the newspapers and reward orders?"
Seeing Jhin's reaction, Quinn directly changed the topic to newspapers and reward orders with a desire to survive.
A member of the Beast Pirates not far away saw what was happening and promptly handed Quinn the newspaper and reward order about Mod.
Quinn took the newspaper and the reward order and read them carefully for a while. Several veins suddenly appeared on his forehead.
"The new emperor? He's so arrogant... By the way, this guy killed Doflamingo, right?"
"right."
"No wonder Mr. Kaido is so angry."
Quinn crumpled the newspaper and the reward order into a ball, with a hint of murderous intent in his tone.
"I remember that the ancient Triceratops fruit from two years ago was also snatched away by this guy, right? If I could have gotten that ancient seed at that time, there would be one more 'True Fighter' now."
“…”
Jin pursed his lips and said nothing.
Quinn's eyes grew colder, he shook the crumpled newspaper reward order in his hand, and suggested: "How about we go ask Mr. Kaido for instructions and let Jack take the 'Real Fighters' to kill Bacardi Mod?"
Among the three disasters, Quinn and Jhin each performed their own duties and shouldered more important responsibilities, so they would not leave the country of Wano easily.
However, some time ago, both of them followed Kaido into Marineland. However, due to the obstruction of the red-haired pirates, they turned back midway.
Usually, if there are important tasks, they are basically handed over to Drought Jack, who is also a member of the Three Disasters, or to the five real fighters whose strength and status are second only to the Three Disasters.
But now, just for the crusade against Maud, Quinn proposed to let Jack go out with all his real weapons.
It can be seen that Quinn placed Maude at a very high level.
After listening to Quinn's suggestion, Jhin was silent for a moment and said: "The more important thing now is to confirm whether the Don Quixote family can continue the supply of 'SMILE' without the 'Joker'. If not..."
