Hawkins nodded, and quickly assumed the identity of his younger brother, taking Maud's order.
After Hawkins left, Maud asked Sharkey for a cigarette.
Amidst the smoke.
Maude suddenly asked: "Aunt Xia, do you want to come with us?"
"Well?"
Xia Qi was startled for a moment, and instantly understood Maud's thoughtful intention. He smiled and said in a teasing tone: "Are you inviting me on board?"
"Yes, want to come?"
Maude knew that Xia Qi was joking, so she agreed, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart.
Xia Qi smiled and said seriously: "Forget it, why am I, an old man, joining in the fun?"
"Ah, what a pity."
Maud pretended to have an expression on her face as if she had lost a hundred million.
Xia Qi slowly stopped smiling, and his eyes changed slightly in the floating smoke.
"Mode, seeing you and your team...if I were twenty years younger, maybe I would really be moved."
"Ah? Aunt Xia, you are only in your thirties this year, right?"
"Smelly brat..."
The smile that Xia Qi had just stopped appeared on his face again.
Twenty minutes later.
Hawkins led his subordinates and the crew of the Monk Pirates to the scene.
The crew members of the Monk Pirates couldn't hide their worries after seeing Urki who was seriously injured and unconscious.
Then another ten minutes passed.
Philo took care of Perona and Urqui's injuries.
Urqui's injuries were serious and he was still in a coma, while Perona had already woken up.
When she woke up, her eyes burst into tears when she saw Maud, her face full of grievance and pity.
"Perona, what are you pretending to be?"
Bailey gnawed on the chicken legs until his face was stained with oil, and looked at Perona with a look of disgust.
The next second.
"I want to be a chicken drumstick in my next life."
Bailey was lying in front of the chicken legs with a passive look on his face.
After a while.
Luo, Lafayette, and Jaya returned.
"Qing Pheasant didn't lie."
Luo looked down at the phone bug left by Qing Pheasant in his hand, his expression gloomy.
Mod held his chin and said calmly: "The Navy did this specifically to exchange Bebo and the others for something with you, and I probably know... what the Navy wants from you."
"What is it?"
Luo gritted his teeth and asked.
Maude said: "It should be a living heart."
He thought of Luo in the original work, who had provided a hundred living hearts to the Navy to assume the position of Shichibukai, and this condition may be the motivation behind the Navy's action.
"Just for the living heart...?!"
Luo couldn't accept Mod's guess. After all, even the generals were dispatched, just for such a trivial matter
"It could also be the fruit of the surgery inside your body."
“…”
Luo frowned when he heard this.
He was more convinced of this motive than of a living heart.
Maud slowly raised his head and looked towards the top of the Red Earth Continent.
"No matter what the Navy wants to exchange, I won't let them get what they want, so... let's go catch a Celestial Dragon."
"!!!"
Chapter 155 God’s Natural Enemy
God does not exist in this world.
But there are existences like the Celestial Dragons who claim to be gods.
Ironically, the Celestial Dragons do hold status and rights above countless countries.
Once their majesty and lives are offended.
The top secret intelligence agency directly under the World Government, known as the strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons, as well as the top naval combat general, will all be dispatched to maintain the divine power of the Celestial Dragons.
Even the Tianlong people have the right to directly mobilize generals.
Based on this, countless pirates on the sea secretly joked that the Admiral was a good dog raised by the Celestial Dragons.
From their perspective, there is nothing wrong with holding such a view.
But they have to admit that if they encounter the Celestial Dragons in the Chambord Islands one day, they will definitely kneel down and worship.
The Celestial Dragons are such existences.
Supported by Organization C and the Navy, they were spurned by countless people and respected by countless others.
therefore,
In this sea, everyone knows one thing extremely well.
If we take action against the Tianlong people, it means facing the endless purge-style pursuit by Organization C and the navy.
This is exactly the reason why the Tianlong people dare to take a walk with a small number of guards to the unreachable areas of the Shampoo Islands.
Even the arrogant pirates who like to kidnap princes and nobles in exchange for sky-high ransoms will choose to retreat when they see the Celestial Dragons directly delivered to their mouths.
This phenomenon is actually what Maud cannot understand the most.
With the arrogant and domineering behavior of the Tianlong people, sooner or later those who have the consciousness of death should take it to the extreme.
But this kind of thing has never happened.
If it is said that this is because Organization C secretly protects the safety of the Celestial Dragons at all times, but when Straw Hat Luffy beat up the Rozwald Saint family, C did not appear.
In any case, if the Navy launched this operation because of the living heart.
Then, let's exchange it with the heart of the Celestial Dragon.
If it's for the fruits of Luo's operation, then bring a dozen Celestial Dragons to the public to make the world government and navy calm down.
Maude's astonishing speech caused the entire venue to become silent.
Everyone looked at Maude blankly with incredulous eyes.
Xia Qi was the first to come to his senses and took a deep look at Maude.
She knew Maud meant it.
It is also clear that with Mod's acting style, before making this decision, he must have already thought out the way out and the response.
"It's getting more and more serious... In the future, the sea will probably be turned upside down by you... Little Maud."
Xia Qi thought in his mind, and habitually took out the cigarette case and flicked it, but belatedly discovered that the cigarette case was empty.
Maud retracted his gaze towards the top of the Red Earth Continent and turned to look at the reactions of his companions. He said calmly: "Why, are you so surprised?"
"Mode, what are you thinking about? That's a Celestial Dragon..."
After Luo reacted, he frowned and looked at Maude.
Maud looked at Luo calmly.
"It is precisely because we are Tianlong people that we can let the navy feed Beibo and the others with good food and drink, and finally send Beipo and the others back obediently."
"But have you thought about the consequences?"
"Then do you want to save Bebo and the others?"
Maude asked rhetorically.
Luo said in a deep voice: "I think so, but not in this way that will plunge us all into the quagmire."
“Hoo ho…”
Lafayette took over and said seriously: "Once we take action against the Tianlong people, no matter what the result is, we will definitely face a crazy pursuit from the world government and the navy."
"Lafayette, are you scared?"
Maude took a serious look at Lafayette.
"No, I'm really excited about the captain's decision."
Lafayette shook his head, and his lips, which were as red as blood, slowly formed an exaggerated arc.
It is only by following such a captain that you can appreciate the scenery that ordinary people cannot come into contact with in their lifetime.
He couldn't wait for a few seconds after hearing Maud's decision.
Seeing Lafayette's reaction, Maud smiled slightly.
Lafayette, a companion who had staked his future on him from the early days, never let him down.
The surprised look on Jia Ya's face gradually calmed down.
Her idea is simple, to advance and retreat together with the team.
Luo opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.
After his emotions cooled down a bit, he realized how stupid his behavior just now was.
Talking Maud out of making decisions or something.
This kind of thing…
Had I known it would have been impossible.
Luo slowly closed his mouth and sighed in his heart.
Even though Mod made such a decision to help him save Bebo and the others, Luo was not happy at all.
"Some people call the D family the natural enemies of God."
In Luo's mind, the words that the man he respected once said to him flashed inexplicably.
"Mr. Corazon, maybe the D family is the natural enemy of God, but... the real threat to God is not necessarily the D family, such as the man in front of me."
"He saved me just like you, Mr. Corazon."
"I want to live freely, just as you said, Mr. Corazon..."
"but… "
"I can't just accept kindness."
"If possible, even if I no longer delve into the meaning of this rough fate, even if I put aside freedom, it doesn't matter. Now and in the future... I want to do something for Maud."
Luo lowered his head slightly, thinking silently in his heart.
Perona, wrapped in layers of bandages, slowly floated past Luo, who was deep in thought, and came to Maude.
"Mode... do you really want to take action against the Celestial Dragons?"
When Perona was speaking, her eyes were filled with clearly visible shadows.
seem,
Talking about the Celestial Dragons would trigger the nightmare memories deep in her heart.
And in fact,
