"Maud..."
Bai Xing read the name in a low voice.
Obviously, the princess, who had been in the hard-shell tower for more than eight years, knew nothing about the news outside, so she didn't know Maud's background.
Mod then added: "Oh, by the way, I'm a pirate."
"Pirate?!"
When Bai Xing heard this, his beauty suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously moved back.
Mod saw Bai Xing's reaction, smiled, sat cross-legged in front of the door, and asked: "Princess Bai Xing, did your father tell you about the crisis that Fish-Man Island is facing?"
"Crisis? What crisis?"
After hearing about the Fish-Man Island, Princess Shirahoshi, although timid, still mustered up the courage to ask about it immediately.
"It seems not."
Mod shook his head slightly, raised his hand to his cheek as usual, and said seriously: "Currently, there are almost 20,000 pirates on Fish-Man Island. Do you know what this is? Princess White Star."
"Twenty thousand pirates..."
Princess Bai Xing couldn't help showing a look of horror on her face, and she obviously had a clearer idea of this number.
And the reason why she is so scary is naturally because of the prefix word "pirate".
"Yes, there are 20,000 pirates, and they are all very vicious. Ryugu Castle's army cannot compete with these pirates."
When Maude said this, she raised her eyelids and looked directly at the frightened Princess White Star. She said calmly: "You don't know... you don't even know about the loss of the gate and coral hill of Fish-Man Island?"
"I, I don't know..."
The uneasiness on Princess Bai Xing's face became more and more obvious.
At this moment, she was not worried about her own situation, but worried about the residents of the Fish-Man Island outside Dragon Palace City...
"Are you even kept in the dark about this kind of thing? Your father really loves and protects you."
Maud shook his head slightly and said calmly:
"To tell you the truth, the army of Ryugu Castle was defeated steadily in the battle with the pirates and suffered heavy losses. Now they have retreated to Ryugu Castle, and they have no power left to protect the residents of Fish-Man Island."
"Almost every day, young female mermaids are kidnapped by pirates, and there are even more murlocs who are tortured and killed by pirates every day."
"how so… "
Princess Bai Xing covered her mouth and her eyes trembled. She couldn't believe the tragic scene full of suffocation.
"However, I can help you drive away those pirates who do all kinds of evil."
"Mr. Maude...are you serious?"
Princess Bai Xing, who was not very experienced in the world, immediately opened her green eyes wide and looked at Maud hopefully.
From the beginning to the end, this timid and naive mermaid princess never thought of questioning what Mod said.
"certainly."
Mod nodded affirmatively, then smiled and said, "But if we want to drive out those pirates, we need your help, Princess White Star."
"Huh? But I..."
Princess Shirahoshi hesitated.
She originally wanted to say that she could only stay in the hard-shell tower and could not take a step out, otherwise her life would be in danger, but she thought that if she didn't go out, Mod would not be able to expel the pirates...
But soon, worried about the situation on Fish-Man Island, she no longer hesitated and looked at Maud seriously.
"Mr. Maude, how can I help?"
"Just use it as bait."
"Bait?"
A large question mark appeared on Princess Shirahoshi's head.
Mod smiled and explained: "Yes, it is a bait. As long as you go out and show your face, you can attract all the pirates on the island. At that time, I will expel them in one go."
It was said to be expulsion, but in fact it was massacre.
In Mod's view, even if there is no experience gain, the easiest way to deal with these vicious pirates is to kill them directly.
"Mr. Maude, I understand!"
Princess Bai Xing blinked her eyes, clenched her fists, and said solemnly: "As long as the pirates can be driven out, I will do my best!"
"Then it's settled."
After being fooled, Maud stood up and stretched out his hand towards Princess White Star as usual.
Princess Bai Xing looked at Maud's stretched out right hand in confusion. A scene that was engraved in her mind suddenly flashed through her mind. Then she carefully stretched out her hand and gently touched Maud's little finger with her little finger.
Looking at Princess Bai Xing's movements, Maude was slightly startled.
Does this mean hook
Maud thought to herself.
"White Star!!!"
Suddenly, Neptune's urgent voice came from outside the hard-shell tower.
The next second, Neptune and his party pushed the door open completely and rushed into the hard-shell tower. They saw Princess White Star hooking up with Modra.
"Bacardi Mod, let go of Shirahoshi!!!"
Seeing their most cherished family members exposed in front of the notorious Maud, Neptune and the three prince brothers showed their fierce looks and became furious.
"Father, brother..."
Bai Xing looked blankly at the aggressive Neptune and the three prince brothers.
Swish—
At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from outside the hard-shell tower.
A giant sword common to the giants, like an arrow from the string, passed through the open door and pointed directly at Bai Xing sitting on the mattress.
Neptune and the three prince brothers had their backs to the door. Even if they heard the sound of breaking through the air, they had no time to respond. They could only watch as the giant sword passed over their bodies.
"Danger… !!!"
Seeing the giant sword shooting straight at Bai Xing, Neptune and the three prince brothers suddenly turned pale in panic.
Bai Xing's reaction was relatively slow. At this critical moment, he didn't even notice the danger coming.
"I remember 'this scene'."
Maud raised his right hand casually, and lightly used his index and middle fingers wrapped in armament colors to clamp the tip of the giant sword that was aimed at Shirahoshi.
The giant sword that was originally in a state of extreme motion became motionless in an instant.
Click, click…
Immediately afterwards, countless tiny cracks appeared on the giant sword that was clamped by Maud's fingers. It immediately broke into dozens of fragments and scattered on the ground, making bursts of clanging sounds.
At this moment, Bai Xing reacted belatedly, and once again looked at the remains of the giant sword that had shattered into fragments all over the ground with a pale face.
Seeing that Bai Xing was safe and sound, the three brothers Neptune and the prince looked at Maud in disbelief.
"The weapon thrown by Vanderdyken contains the power to be deeply embedded in the special door!"
"I was able to block this power with just my fingers..."
Neptune and the three prince brothers were shocked.
Even though they knew that Mord was extremely powerful, the way Mord blocked the giant sword still subverted their knowledge.
Maud looked down at the fragment of the sword tip held between her index and middle fingers, and said to herself: "Is it called the target fruit or the target fruit? The ability is quite interesting, and it's worth getting it."
at the same time.
For some unknown reason, in less than an hour, thousands of pirates gathered in Geelong Court Square.
The chaotic noise echoed over the square.
The rocky mountains in the distance.
Lafayette, Jim, Philo, Brooke, Perona, Urqui, and Hawkins stood on the edge of the rocky mountain, looking at the Geelong Court Square where pirates kept gathering.
"Hoho, someone should be 'calling on' the pirates on the island. As for the purpose..."
"Most likely they want to attack Dragon Palace City."
Hawkins played with several divination cards and took over Lafayette's words.
Lafayette glanced at Hawkins, nodded and said:
"Hoho, after all, the treasure house of Dragon Palace City contains countless rare treasures, and there is also a mermaid princess whose beauty is world-famous. The most important thing is that the army of Dragon Palace City suffered heavy losses..."
Speaking of this, Lafayette's eyes flashed with contempt.
"Then, it's not surprising that these pirates who are carried away by desire would have the idea of attacking Ryugu Castle."
"We can't do anything until we receive instructions from the boss, right?"
Urki glanced at the pirates who were coming to Girloncourt Square from Coral Hill one after another.
"Yes, our captain, it's almost time to come into contact with the 'bait'."
Lafayette curled his lips.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but have different expressions as they recalled the scene when Mod proposed using the world-famous mermaid princess as bait.
"Maybe… "
Perona sighed in her heart: "In Maud's eyes, women are just like muscular men, right?"
On a street some distance away from Coder Square in Geelong.
A group of powerful pirates were walking on the empty streets.
The first person was a woman who was much taller than an ordinary person.
"It's really deserted."
The woman wears a hat and carries a long sword with a spiral sheath behind her back. She has long white hair that reaches her legs and wears a pair of pink patterned boots.
This woman is one of the four dessert generals of the pirate group, with a bounty of 932 million berries, and a superhuman fruit-squeezing ability.
"I originally thought I could have a taste of the 'mermaid taste' before getting down to business..."
Smoothie glanced across the deserted street.
Fish-Man Island is being devastated by pirates from all walks of life. It is naturally impossible to see mermaids on the bright streets.
"Lord Smoky, the pirates on the island are moving towards the Gironcourt Square ahead. Do you want to intervene?"
"Why interfere?"
Smoothie raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of Geelong Court Square.
"The pirates on the island will take the initiative to gather in one place, which is just convenient for me to solve the problem in one go."
Chapter 176 The name Bacardi Mod!
Fishman Island can be said to be an island quite close to the navy's sphere of influence.
Relatively speaking, it is also an island far away from the four emperors' sphere of influence.
At the beginning, Whitebeard thought of friendship, and in order to protect Fish-Man Island, he brought Fish-Man Island into his sphere of influence.
Under the influence of Whitebeard's intimidating power, the pirates who would have posed a huge threat to Fish-Man Island have instead become a regular customer base of Fish-Man Island.
After more than ten years,
The endless stream of pirates traveling from Fish-Man Island to the New World has brought vigorous economic development to Fish-Man Island, and it has grown into a mature fruit with an alluring luster.
now,
After losing the protection of Whitebeard, this ripe fruit was placed in front of everyone.
As a result, Charlotte Lingling, the eldest mother among the four emperors, after taking all the territory that could be divided, set her sights on Fish-Man Island, which was the farthest away from her and the last remaining delicious food. cake.
For this purpose, they also dispatched the highest cadre under their command, Charlotte Smoothie, one of the Four Dessert Generals, and nearly a hundred elite soldiers and generals under his command.
This shows how seriously Lingling attaches importance to this operation.
