Everyone was so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when they learned that Aokiji had become a member of the Mod Pirates.
This is a navy admiral!
After quitting the navy, he actually joined the Morde Pirates and became a member of Morde's command.
This kind of thing is simply shocking news to the Straw Hat Pirates at this stage.
Robin looked at Maud in disbelief.
When Aoki appeared just now, Robin thought it was because of her appearance on the battlefield of Marinevando that Aoki regretted letting her go free, so he came here specially.
But I didn't expect it at all...
The man in front of her who was extremely fearful to her actually quit the navy and chose to join the Morde Pirates and become a member of Morde's subordinates.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, even she would have thought that such a thing was a fantasy.
"Well, anyway, as you can see, I am now a pirate in the Mord Pirates."
Looking at the Straw Hats who were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out, Aoki said lazily:
"However, even though I am no longer a navy, I will still take action if I see 'annoying' pirates. Regarding this, my captain is still very tolerant."
"Um?!"
After hearing Aokiji's words, the Straw Hats, who had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up again.
That's right.
Even if Aokiji gives up his identity as an admiral, there is no rule that he can no longer uphold justice since he has become a pirate...
Moreover, pirates killing each other is the most normal phenomenon.
Thinking of this, the Straw Hats looked at Aokiji with caution.
"Ah la la."
Feeling the vigilant gazes from the Straw Hats, Aokiji shrugged and said calmly:
"There's no need to be so vigilant. I just said that I would only attack 'annoying' pirates. As far as I'm concerned, I don't hate you now."
"ah?"
The Straw Hats were shocked. They didn't expect Aokiji to say such a thing.
Chopper was so shy that he performed the seaweed dance.
However, only Robin, Zoro, and Sanji, the more thoughtful crew members, understood the meaning of "now" and "now" in Aokiji's words.
Just as the Straw Hats were feeling shaken, the sky seemed to be covered with dark clouds, and large shadows suddenly enveloped them.
But it was Jaya who controlled the terrifying three-masted ship, falling out of the clouds and slowly falling to the island below.
"!!!"
"That is… "
Seeing the terrifying three-masted ship, the Straw Hats were shocked again.
In just half an hour, their hearts were put under multiple pressures.
"Yo ho ho!"
At this moment, loud laughter resounded high in the sky.
A black and white figure fell from the side of the terrifying three-masted ship.
Bang bang—
The figure stepped on the moon steps, and its movements were as nimble as stepping on layers of invisible stairs, descending step by step in an extremely elegant manner.
The Straw Hats couldn't help but look at the figure coming with a strange laugh.
This figure is naturally Brooke.
The terrifying three-masted ship had not yet completed its landing. He, who could easily use the Moon Step, followed Maud and Aoki Pheasant and landed on the ground first.
"A laughing skeleton?"
"It's moving..."
After seeing clearly that the opponent was a skeleton, except for Luffy, whose eyes were starry, Zoro and others all frowned.
As for Nami, who is less courageous, Usopp, who is now different from what he used to be, and even Bartolomeo, who usually behaves fearlessly, all turned pale with fright after seeing Brooke.
The most timid Chopper was even more frightened and fainted again.
In this way, Brooke, who was already a member of Mod's men, met the Straw Hats for the first time in this way.
Sanji stared at Brooke's exquisite and nimble moon steps, his eyes twinkling.
He felt that the moon step was a very useful skill for him.
Under the gaze of everyone, Brooke landed lightly.
Following closely behind was the terrifying three-masted ship that slowly landed on the side of the island.
Looking down from a high place, it looks like two tables, one large and one small, put together.
In fact, since the island where the ceremony was held has never been found, Mod actually thought about using Jaya's floating fruit ability to collect the islands encountered along the way and then put them together into a super huge island.
However, his idea has not been officially implemented yet.
Anyway, as long as Jaya's ability and accuracy gradually improve, it won't be difficult to implement the [Island Moving] project.
The terrifying three-masted ship landed steadily on the sea, and then many crew members of the Mod Pirates, headed by Jaya Lafayette, boarded the island and came to Mod.
"The Straw Hats?"
Luo hugged the ghost and cried, squinting at Luffy, who was also a supernova.
"what?"
Noticing Luo Wang's seemingly thoughtful gaze, Luffy looked confused.
Luo looked away, not looking at Luffy twice, and didn't say anything.
This behavior made Luffy question a lot.
Maude looked up at the still early sky. Considering the number of people, she looked at Jia Ya and suggested: "Sister Ya, you can start preparing for dinner."
"OK."
Jaya nodded slightly.
"dinner?"
Hearing the word "dinner", Luffy suddenly became energetic and said enthusiastically: "If you want to prepare dinner, there is a kind of rhinoceros with long sharp horns in the forest on the island. Their meat is very delicious!"
"Rhino..."
Hearing this, Jia Ya turned her head to look at the dense forest in the distance.
Rhinos living in the forest aroused Jaya's interest.
Sanji suddenly said: "Strictly speaking, you are considered 'guests'. There is no reason to ask guests to prepare meals."
“…”
After hearing this, Jia Ya turned to look at Sanji and said calmly: "You are also a chef."
"right."
It was rare that Sanji didn't lose his composure because of female lust.
Jia Ya was silent for a moment and asked: "Then can you cook 'food supplement cuisine'?"
"Shibu cuisine?"
Sanji frowned and said, "What is that?"
"Since you can't, just wait for the meal to start. Of course, I don't mind if you come to help."
After Jaya finished speaking, she walked straight to the forest.
Sanji frowned and looked at Jaya's back.
He became interested in the food supplements mentioned by Jaya.
Because of the existence of Maud, the oversized butterfly, the plot of the original novel began to run rampant.
Although Luffy got his wish and saved Ace from death, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates lost an original opportunity.
Despite Saab's intervention...
However, the current Straw Hat Pirates obviously still do not have the qualifications to enter the new world.
But the arrival of the Morde Pirates this time may bring some clear changes to the future of the Straw Hat Pirates.
At least, after Luffy was instantly killed by Mord, he already had the motivation to run as fast as he could and become stronger.
Subconsciously, he had already regarded Maud as his target.
the other side.
Mod came to Usopp.
"Usopp, I heard from Chopper that you made a cool new weapon?"
As he spoke, Mod took a look at the scepter-like thing that Usopp was hiding behind his back.
"Master, I, I..."
Usopp was submissive and couldn't understand half of his words. He looked like he had done something wrong.
"What's wrong?"
Mod looked at Usopp strangely.
Usopp lowered his head and stammered: "I, I gave up the gun."
"Yeah… "
After hearing this, Mod took another look at the weapon that Usopp had hidden behind him, and smiled: "It seems like you have found a weapon that is more suitable for you."
"ah?"
Usopp looked up at Mod.
After seeing the smile on Mord's face, Usopp realized that Mord would not be angry at all because he gave up his gun.
The reason why he chose firearms in the first place was because he dreamed of becoming a sniper as powerful as Mod.
But the experiences along the way allowed him to open the door to a new world. At the same time, he saw extremely powerful guys with his own eyes, and he also deeply realized his own weakness.
He knows it very well.
If he cannot cover the fired lead bullets with armed colors, then he will not be able to truly cross the threshold of the new world.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not wrap the lead bullets with armed color.
That kind of technique is really difficult.
In desperation, Usopp gave up on firearms and turned to weapons similar to large slingshots.
Compared with firearms, if you use weapons such as slingshots or bows and arrows, the difficulty of attacking with armed colors will be greatly reduced.
This is the change Usopp made in order to improve his combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
But when he saw Mord, Usopp felt that the changes he had made were tantamount to betraying the faith that originated from Mord.
Moder never thought that Usopp would figure out such a mess on his own. He looked at the weapon behind Usopp and stretched out his hand.
"show me."
"Ah, okay."
Usopp hurriedly handed the new weapon to Mod.
Mod took over the weapon, and his first impression was that it was quite heavy. Its structure was similar to that of a slingshot. The only difference was—
The top of a slingshot usually has a "Y" structure, but the top of Usopp's weapon looks like five outstretched fingers, and the cloth bag connected by five rubber bands is actually equipped with a sky shell.
Not only the cloth pocket, but also the body of the stick is also covered with relatively small empty island shells in an orderly manner.
Judging from the appearance of these empty island shells, they should be mainly blast shells and impact shells.
The former, as the name suggests, is an island shell that can emit strong wind, and is usually used as a power source for small boats or powerful boats.
