Fishman Island is still brightly lit.
But everything in Dragon Palace City is quiet.
Maud took out the phone and dialed a number.
After a while, the phone was connected, and the phone bug's eyes immediately turned into a pair of hazy sleepy eyes.
"Dada."
Maude said into the microphone.
The phone bug's hazy sleepy eyes suddenly widened, giving him a sense of déjà vu as if he had suddenly woken up.
"Ah... Idol!!! I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!!!"
Dada's voice, trembling with excitement, came through the phone bug.
"Pfft."
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from the phone bug.
A question mark suddenly appeared on Maude's head.
"Dada, are you okay?"
"No, it's okay..."
After a few seconds, Dada's intermittent voice came from the phone.
"I was so excited just now that I almost couldn't breathe!"
“…”
Maude didn't know what to say, but she always felt that Dada was very similar to Bartolomeo.
"Idol, you are calling me at this time. Is there something important?"
"It's not that important. I just want to provide you with some 'real news material'."
"Huh? Idol, please wait a moment. I'm going to get paper and pen now."
"good."
There was a rustling sound from Dada's side, and there was also the sound of someone's footsteps.
Maud didn't pay attention and waited for Dada to get paper and pen.
After a while, Dada's voice came from the phone bug.
"Idol, I'm ready, you can start talking!"
"Today, I declared war."
Maude went straight to the point.
"Crack."
It was the sound of something hitting the ground coming from the phone bug.
"What!!!"
This was the exclamation coming from the phone bug, but the voice did not come from Dada, but from the president of the news agency, Morgans.
If Mod had been present, he would have seen Morgance's eyes about to pop out of his head.
"This is big news!!!"
Immediately afterwards, Morgans' excited voice was clearly transmitted to Maud's ears through the phone bug.
The corners of Maude's mouth curled up slightly.
As long as the fact of the declaration of war is published in the newspaper in front of the whole world, Charlotte Lingling can be reassured that "if I, Maude, don't go to the world to challenge you, my reputation will be ruined."
In this way, at least Charlotte Lingling's attention can be locked on herself.
Afterwards, Moder provided Dada with the "news materials" that had just been released today one by one.
Dada and Morgans, who had received the first-hand "news material", were so happy that they couldn't find the north.
Five or six minutes later.
call ended.
Maude put away the phone bug and went to bed.
The night passed.
early morning.
Maude suddenly opened her eyes.
It wasn't because of his biological clock, but because he heard slight movement from outside the door.
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
Maude straightened her upper body, the red light in her eyes flashed away, and she turned her head to look at the door of the room.
"Eh… "
There was an exclamation outside the door.
After a while, the door was pushed open, and Bai Xing's head poked in first, looking timidly at Maud who was sitting on the bed.
"Mr. Maude, did I wake you up?"
"if not?"
"Well."
Bai Xing shrank his neck.
Maude lifted the quilt, got out of bed and dressed herself.
Bai Xing walked into the room cautiously and stood not far from the door, looking at Maud intently.
Mod put on her clothes, turned her head to look at Bai Xing, and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Mr. Maude, I want to talk to you."
"Talk?"
Maud looked slightly surprised and said, "What are you talking about?"
Bai Xing took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say, "I, I still can't agree with your approach, Mr. Maude."
"Have no idea what you're talking about."
Maude raised her eyebrows and walked straight to the bathroom, brushing her teeth and washing her face in front of Bai Xing.
Bai Xing followed Mod with his eyes closely and said: "What you did to those pirates in the square..."
"ha?"
Maude picked up a towel and wiped the corners of her mouth, looked sideways at Bai Xing, and said calmly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"It's, it's just... Mr. Maud shouldn't, shouldn't have dealt with those pirates..."
Bai Xing's tone immediately became a little weaker, his lips pursed, and he couldn't say what he was thinking.
But Moder understood what Bai Xing wanted to express from the intermittent words.
He stared at the mermaid princess in front of him who was hesitant to speak a complete sentence, and shook his head slightly.
If he hadn't mastered the intelligence information about the future, it would have been unimaginable that such a weak-looking mermaid princess could have the ability to summon giant sea kings.
Perhaps the [Poseidon] born on Fish-Man Island in the past were all overly kind-hearted types like Shirahoshi.
Otherwise, he should have occupied a place in the world by virtue of his ability to summon giant sea kings, instead of living under the sea of 10,000 meters for many years and only enjoying the sunlight transmitted through the roots of the Eve tree.
Maud put down the towel and strode towards Shirahoshi.
As she walked, Maud's size continued to increase.
Bai Xing was immediately frightened. He closed his mouth and retreated subconsciously. As a result, his back hit the wall next to the door. He looked at Maude in a daze as he walked towards him.
Maud came to White Star.
The sudden increase in body size in a short period of time gave Shirahoshi an indescribable pressure.
This was the first human being that Shirahoshi had ever seen that was older than her.
Maude stretched out her big hand towards Bai Xing.
Seeing Mod's big hand reaching out, Bai Xing was so nervous that his first reaction was to close his eyes.
Maud's big hand held Bai Xing's cheek, pinched it slightly, and squeezed Bai Xing's lips into a pout.
"Princess, there should be a limit to innocence."
Maud stared down at Shirahoshi's face.
Bai Xing's face was filled with panic, and his hands were moving back and forth uneasily.
"Vanderdeken has been killed by me, and you don't need to stay in that shell tower anymore. If you have time to worry about such meaningless things, you might as well go to the island and see more. I believe your compatriots, Will be happy to give you an 'answer'."
Maude let go of Bai Xing's cheek, then crossed Bai Xing's body, walked straight across the threshold, and walked out of the room.
"Besides, don't teach me how to do things."
After saying the last words, Maude's footsteps gradually faded away.
in the room.
Listening to the sound of Mod's retreating footsteps, Bai Xing stared blankly at the ground.
"I, I know, but... but... compared to violence and killing... "
Halfway through talking to himself, Bai Xing bit his lip and couldn't say any more.
The frightening experience Luna had recounted to her yesterday flashed through her mind.
... ... ..
Breakfast time.
Neptune prepared an extremely rich breakfast for Maud and the others, and his hospitality was fully reflected.
For breakfast, there were desserts specially made for Mod by the Fish-Man Island Dessert Factory, which had just resumed normal operations today.
Basically every dessert is made with various chocolate sauces or jams that are usually used for decoration, and each one of Maud's names is poured out with great effort.
Looking at the dazzling array of desserts, Perona and Bailey, who loved desserts the most in the team, were almost going crazy with joy. They did not eat staple food at all and only saw these delicious desserts.
The two live treasures were eating, and in order to snatch the dessert, they inevitably started fighting each other again.
Maud ignored Perona and Bailey's daily fight and picked up a piece of glazed chocolate cake.
On the smooth black surface is a string of beautiful white fonts.
That's his name...
From this detail alone, Maude could feel the enthusiasm of the dessert chefs from the dessert factory.
Maud shook her head slightly and took a bite of the chocolate cake.
It melts in your mouth, like a piece of cheese with a rich chocolate flavor.
The texture and taste are impeccable.
"No wonder he didn't hesitate to send a general to bring the farthest fish-man island into his territory."
Maude savored the wonderful taste of the chocolate cake, and she could somewhat understand the idea of taking over the territory of Fish-Man Island.
"Although it is a pity...but from today on, Fishman Island's specialty desserts will become history."
Stuffing the remaining chocolate cake into her mouth, Maud thought in her mind.
Publishing the fact of the declaration of war in the newspaper would only focus attention on him who was about to enter the new world for the second time, but it would not be enough to stop him from giving up occupying Fish-Man Island.
The only way to give up the idea of occupying Fish-Man Island is to destroy the dessert factory on Fish-Man Island and completely eliminate the existence of desserts.
As a result, Fish-Man Island, which is the furthest away from the center of the new world, has no value in attacking all the way.
As for the method, it's easy.
Just make up the story that a fish-man island dessert factory was destroyed by pirates and all the pastry chefs were killed.
After breakfast, Maude directly mentioned the destruction of the dessert factory to Neptune.
