Thor nodded.
Maude took a deep breath, retreated to a relatively open area, and held the knife in front of her.
I got Gabedon's experience last night. Now when I hold the knife, my hand no longer feels unfamiliar at all, but instead feels full of solidity.
Maude's eyes gradually became sharper, as if he was really a swordsman with some skills.
Uh-huh!
With his arm suddenly exerting force, Maude quickly slashed three swords in front of him, creating a fleeting "*" sword light.
Seeing the three swords struck by Maud, Thor couldn't help but look at Sunny.
What's wrong with me
Sol's withered face twitched.
Sunny turned around silently, walked quickly to the kitchen counter, and continued preparing breakfast.
From Thor's reaction, Maude knew that it was done.
Pretending to cough a few times, he drew Sol's gaze over, and then said seriously: "Keep your word."
"What do you mean? I don't know what you are talking about."
Thor looked confused.
"???"
Maude was stunned.
In front of the kitchen counter, Sunny was chopping vegetables and almost cut her finger.
Under the table, Bailey sighed quietly, suddenly missing the freedom of the forest.
Now that I think about it, the creek there... is really clean.
So, due to Thor's pretending to be dumbfounded, Maude was grounded.
And today.
The news that the Sharp Ox Pirates were destroyed overnight spread in every tavern, becoming the hottest topic of conversation right now.
"Usopp wiped out the entire Sharp Ox Pirates by himself?"
"I heard that Kazite was killed with just one knife!"
The talk became more and more exaggerated.
As for the reason, it was the group of jackal pirates last night.
In the beginning, they were basically the ones bragging.
Chapter 63: Rise to fame
Maybe it was to thank Maud for feeding them well.
That group of jackal-like pirates last night almost took Usopp's name to the sky when they went to the tavern to spend money.
Why did Usopp wipe out the gunner team of the Sharp Ox Pirates with one shot
Why did Usopp single-handedly attack the ship of the Sharp Ox Pirates and stabbed Kazite to death with just one knife
These embellished words were originally blown out of their mouths.
They were thinking that Mod dared to go to the ship alone to kill Kazite and others, but they didn't care at all about the property of the Sharp Ox Pirates.
There is only one reason.
That's reputation.
Therefore, after this group of jackal pirates had eaten and drank enough, they took advantage of the opportunity to help Mod publicize it.
It's a beautiful name that's good for me and good for you.
I hypnotized myself again, thinking that we took the money and took care of the matter for you, so please don’t trouble us in the future.
Thanks to them, Usopp's name, which Mod had casually mentioned, became a hot topic in just half a day.
Even the Tomahawk Tavern incident, which had just subsided, was stirred up again.
So much so that, in this remote place, Usopp's reputation actually overshadowed Ace's recent popularity.
But Mod, who was officially grounded, knew nothing about these things.
"Usopp? A name I've never heard of before. Such an unknown guy actually killed Kazite with a knife?"
In the tavern, a bearded man who had never heard of the Tomahawk Tavern had a surprised look on his face.
A pirate at the next table heard the bearded man's words and couldn't help but chime in.
"Even if Kazite is injured, he will not be killed with a single blow, but the Sharp Ox Pirates did fall into the hands of that guy named Usopp."
"What is the origin of this Usopp?"
Hearing what the pirate at the next table said, the bearded man was even more shocked.
Having been suppressed by the Jianniu Pirates before, he is very aware of the strength of the Jianniu Pirates.
Although the ordinary crew members of the Sharp Ox Pirates are not very good, Raglan and Gabton, who have a bounty of nearly 20 million, are top-notch masters who cannot be underestimated.
Not to mention Captain Kazite, even the famous naval colonel in the Western Sea, there was nothing he could do against Kazite.
But this pirate group was destroyed by a previously unknown young man.
The pirate at the next table took a swig of wine and said in a deep voice after a while:
"Every year, there are always a few conspicuous guys suddenly appearing. Before they become famous, no one knows their origins, let alone after they become famous. Portcas Ai is currently in the limelight. Si, isn’t it the same?”
The bearded man could not help but remain silent after hearing this.
really.
This is probably the case every year.
However, some people have harnessed the rising tide and their reputation has lifted all boats.
There are also people who cannot bear the disadvantages brought by fame and are swallowed up by the excessive tide.
... ... ...
Mad Hatter Town Pier, a certain pirate ship.
In the captain's room, a man with greasy hair and triangular eyes was lying on his back on a soft armchair, his legs straddling a table filled with jewelry and gold.
"I only heard about Kazite's injury a few days ago. I didn't expect to hear the news of his death today,"
The man suddenly leaned forward, and his cold eyes suddenly reflected the gold and silver treasures on the table.
"Kazite, Kazite, I originally thought I would have a chance to cooperate with you again."
"I never thought you would fall into the hands of a newbie."
"Usopp... Humph, it seems you need to pay more attention."
The man slowly closed his eyes.
The post-event pleasure brought about by the robbery of the Platinum armed merchant ship some time ago still has a lingering aftertaste to this moment.
If there is another suitable opportunity, such as this rare big prey, the man will do it again no matter what.
"Captain Dennis, it's bad!"
Suddenly, the door was violently knocked open.
One of his men ran in in a panic.
The man named Dennis suddenly opened his triangular eyes, his expression suddenly became cold, and without saying a word, he took out his pistol and pulled the trigger.
boom-
The buckshot flew past the man and punched a hole in the wall on one side.
Then, Dennis said unkindly: "Next time, I will kill you with one shot."
"Yes Yes… !"
The subordinate broke out in a cold sweat, struggled to calm down, and then said tremblingly: "Dan, Captain Dennis, La-Lafayette, Te-Lafayette is on board!"
"I can't even speak clearly, what's the use of you?"
Dennis frowned, resisting the urge to kill this subordinate with one shot.
"Just, that's it..."
The subordinate was about to explain, but was interrupted by the rhythmic tapping sound coming from behind.
He instantly realized that it was Lafayette coming behind him, and a look of panic appeared on his face.
"So soon..."
A line of blood suddenly appeared on his neck, and his thoughts stopped abruptly.
laugh…
The head full of fear and astonishment just fell to the floor.
With a thud, his head fell to the ground and rolled forward, leaving a bright and dazzling trail of blood behind him.
Lafayette raised his crutch and gently moved the headless corpse.
The body fell to the side under the force.
Then, Lafayette's bright red mouth slightly raised, and he looked at Captain Dennis with a smile as he stood up suddenly.
"I've heard about the famous oil-haired Dennis with a bounty of 36 million on his head..."
After saying this, Lafayette gave a slight salute to Dennis, who looked astonished.
Dennis reached behind his back with his right hand, held the handle of the knife, and looked at Lafayette coldly.
"Oh it's you."
While speaking, Dennis glanced at the bodies of his men who had been decapitated, his face gradually turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "There is no enmity between us."
"indeed so."
Lafayette nodded.
Dennis's expression suddenly turned uglier, and he said, "Then... what do you mean?"
Lafayette smiled when he heard this: "Killing without reason is the meaning of violence, and isn't this kind of behavior what we people have been doing?"
"you… !"
Dennis whipped out his machete.
In vain he became aware of a particularly terrible quality in Lafayette.
Seeing Dennis drawing the knife, Lafayette placed the crutch in front of him and said calmly: "That's right."
Five minutes later.
Lafayette sat atop Denis' bloody body.
A large amount of blood flowed out from under Dennis, covering Lafayette's black-soled leather shoes.
"You think so too, right?"
"Usopp..."
There was a look of expectation in Lafayette's eyes.
After muttering a few words to himself, he stood up, stepped on the blood on the floor, and walked towards the door, leaving a series of bloody footprints.
From beginning to end, Lafayette never glanced at the dazzling array of treasures on the table.
When he stepped off Dennis's pirate ship, the time that had stopped on the deck began to move again at this moment.
Dennis's men, who were confused, suddenly came to their senses.
After Dennis was found dead in the captain's cabin, a new round of "power seizure" began on the ship.
... ... ..
Three days later.
On the calm sea, two warships were anchored.
