He glanced at the scene and, being very familiar with human crimes, he immediately guessed what was going on.
"Mr. Maude, please come to Dragon Palace City to talk."
Neptune respectfully extended an invitation to Maud.
This scene was seen by the surrounding fish-man island residents, and their recognition of Mod in their hearts had reached an unchangeable level.
Once people accept the facts they have seen with their own eyes... they will become convinced!
Chapter 184: The First Nine Stars
The King of Dragon Palace City fell from the sky and took the initiative to send an invitation to Mod in front of countless residents of Fishman Island.
At this point, the last piece of the puzzle for Mod to conquer Fish-Man Island is firmly embedded in the last gap.
"good."
Maud looked at Neptune and accepted the invitation.
Neptune nodded slightly towards Maud, then turned his eyes to look at the pirate corpse in the square.
Although I have seen the whole process in the live broadcast of the walking image bug before, but now I see the corpses on the ground with my own eyes, I still have a different look.
Tens of thousands of lives will be killed if you want to, and you will lose if you don’t want to.
Seeing Neptune observing the pirate corpses in the square, Mod thought for a while and took the initiative to suggest:
"Nipton, just throw these corpses on the ground into the sea and feed them to the fish. However, these weapons are quite sophisticated. You can use them to arm an elite army."
In the world of One Piece, weapons are a very important resource.
This is even more true for countries.
Sufficient weapons can itself demonstrate powerful military power and can also support the victory of a war.
Many countries in turmoil are often defeated in wars and destroyed because of insufficient supply of weapons and resources.
This shows the value of weapons in this bad world.
The original owners of these weapons scattered in the square were pirates who came from across the ocean. They were quite powerful themselves, and the weapons they used were naturally not much different.
But Maud gave away these valuable trophies in just a few words.
Neptune was very surprised.
"Mr. Maude, are you going to give these weapons to us?"
"That's okay if you think so."
Maud looked indifferent.
Upon hearing this, Neptune couldn't help but look at the sophisticated firearms scattered beside the corpse.
Compared with cold weapons, these sophisticated firearms allow his country to arm a deterrent army in a short period of time.
Thinking of the tragic scene in Dragon Palace City, Neptune had no reason to refuse the gift.
"Lead the way to Dragon Palace City."
Maude interrupted Neptune's thoughts.
More and more residents of the surrounding Fish-Man Island were gathering together, and he didn't want to be watched here.
Neptune hesitated to speak, but finally silently led the way.
Maude asked him to lead the way, just because she didn't want to overshadow the surrounding fish-man island residents.
Before going to Dragon Palace City, Maude asked Jim to take Smoothie and Vanderdyken, who were seriously injured and unconscious.
These are two Devil Fruits, and a general-level experience gain.
When he arrived at Dragon Palace City, the first thing Mod did was to ask for a room, then collect Smoothie's experience points, and let Luo take out the Squeezed Fruit and the Target Fruit.
Everyone returned to Dragon Palace City.
Luo and Philo worked together to treat the soldiers in Dragon Palace City, and the efficiency was amazing.
Neptune looked at Luo and Philo who were busy and sighed: "I have never seen such a powerful doctor..."
Maud didn't answer.
How can a partner who can be recognized by him be a weakling
The two of them came to the palace one after another, while the others went to help Luo and Philo.
After arriving at the palace, Neptune did not sit on the throne. Instead, he stood on the red carpet leading to the throne, looking at Maud's level.
"Once again... thank you."
Neptune, as a king, solemnly thanked Maud.
His attitude was very respectful, not at all condescending as the leader of a country.
After all, if it weren't for Mod, Ryugu City would definitely be captured by pirates, and there would also be potential threats posed by Hody Jones and his group of rebels.
Just imagining the consequences made Neptune horrified.
Fortunately, the arrival of the Mord Pirates saved the endangered Fish-Man Island.
"No need to thank me, just go and thank me..."
As Maude said, she suddenly remembered that she still didn't know the name of the red-haired mermaid girl.
Neptune seemed to see something, his eyes were slightly complicated, and he reminded: "Her name is Luna."
"Oh, Luna, right? You'd better go thank her. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have temporarily changed my route to Fish-Man Island."
“…”
Neptune was speechless, feeling that he could not see through Maud at all.
This man was clearly a strong man who had no regard for life, yet he would agree to the request of a mermaid whose name he didn't even know.
And in order to fulfill the request, he came all the way from the New World to Fish-Man Island, and in the end there was no sign of asking for payment.
What kind of human being is this
Neptune's mood was complicated.
Maude was not interested in Dragon Palace City's unilateral thanks and remuneration at all.
After a few words in the palace, Maud asked Neptune to help him arrange a room.
Neptune was very interested in this and arranged rooms for everyone in the Mod Pirates.
After getting a room for temporary rest, Maude did not interfere with Luo's treatment, but carried Smoothie and Vanderdeken, who were seriously injured and unconscious, to the room.
To be on the safe side, Maud carries a device that can release bubble wrap.
Before that, he also required everyone else in the team, including those without abilities, to carry bubble wrap devices with them.
After all, this is Dragon Palace City, not Fishman Island.
The former is smaller in size, so in theory it can be completely immersed in sea water.
If something unexpected happens and the entire Dragon Palace City is placed in the sea water, then there is a high probability that Mod and the others will be wiped out on the spot.
He couldn't help but be careless.
Maude stayed in the room, looking expressionlessly at Smoothie and Vanderdyken, who were casually thrown on the floor.
Although he wanted to get rid of Smoothie's experience quickly, the matter of treating the soldiers in Dragon Palace City was more urgent and important, so Mod could only wait patiently for Luo's treatment to end.
"Well… "
While waiting, Smoothie woke up and struggled to open his eyelids.
The injuries on his body and the endless pain that stirred up his nerves made it impossible for Smoothie to use the sense of sight in a stable state of mind.
Even if you can use the knowledge, it is not necessary.
Because what she saw when she opened her eyes was Maud sitting cross-legged in front of her.
After seeing Maud, Smoothie did not show any emotions such as anger or unwillingness, but was very calm, even indifferent.
"Your reaction surprised me."
Maud wiped the Qiushui blade with a handkerchief and looked sideways at Smoothie, who had an indifferent face.
Smoothie said nothing, silently enduring the pain from the wound.
Having fully understood the current situation, she did not lose her composure, but retained her dignity as a warrior.
Seeing that Smoothie didn't speak, Maud didn't mind and concentrated on wiping the Qiushui blade.
Smoothie looked silently at the man in front of him who had defeated him.
The room was suddenly so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
After a while.
Smooth finally couldn't help it and asked with difficulty: "Bacardi Mod, if you want to use me as a bargaining chip to threaten mom... I advise you to give up. Mom will never be threatened by you... "
"Why do you think I want to use you as a bargaining chip to threaten you?"
Maud put down her handkerchief and looked at Smoothie calmly.
Without waiting for Smoothie's answer, Maude continued: "Oh, it's because I still keep your life, so you think I want to threaten you, right?"
Smoothie was startled and said coldly: "Isn't it?"
If it were anyone else, Smoothie would simply think that the other party was afraid of the reputation of the pirate group, so he would not dare to kill him.
But the person sitting cross-legged in front of her was a lunatic who dared to kill even the Celestial Dragons. How could he be afraid of her mother's reputation
"Ah."
Maude held up Qiushui levelly, put the tip of the knife against Smoothie's neck, and said coldly: "You are almost dead, so don't think too much about it."
"Um?"
Smooth's eyes changed slightly, and he realized that what Maud said was serious, and the reason why he didn't kill her on the spot was not to threaten her mother with her.
Then, what is this man’s purpose...
Ta-ta!
A clear sound of footsteps came from outside the room, interrupting Smoothie's thoughts.
Then, the door was pushed open.
Lafayette walked into the room calmly.
Maude looked at Lafayette who walked into the room, smiled and said, "You're here just in time."
"Hoo ho."
Lafayette made a gesture of gentlemanly etiquette and said seriously: "When the captain needs something, as a crew member, you should be there as soon as possible."
"Well, let's get started."
Maude nodded towards Lafayette.
"OK."
Lafayette walked towards Smoothie, and with every step he took, some changes occurred in his body.
When he took five or six steps, he had already entered Rensai's half-animal form.
Smoothie raised his eyes and looked at Lafayette in Ren Sai's half-animal form, and said to himself: "Phantom beast species..."
Lafayette came to Smoothie.
Facing a strong person of this level, even if he has been beaten and disabled, it is not so easy to hypnotize him.
Except of course Wang Lufei.
In order to increase the chance of successful hypnosis, Lafayette must turn on his bestiality form.
However, Lafayette himself doesn't like the feminine form of the phantom beast Rensai, so half-animal transformation is already the bottom line when using his abilities.
With the power of the Phantom Beast amplified, Lafayette used his hypnotic ability on Smoothie.
Smoothie looked calm and composed on the surface, but in fact, the battle in the square had almost destroyed her will.
But even so, Lafayette took a lot of effort to successfully hypnotize Smoothie.
"Good work."
