"Bacardi Mod?"
Hancock's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he refused just like before without even thinking about it. After hearing Maud's name, she said without even thinking about it: "Go and revive yourself, just say I will go."
"Um?"
The navy who was in charge of making the call was confused and couldn't help but be startled.
What's happening here
He tried both hard and soft tactics, but he couldn't convince Hancock.
Why do you feel like you switched channels as soon as you heard the name Bacardi Mod? ?
Chapter 280 Asking for help
Kraikana Island, a deserted and gloomy island.
The island is covered in fog most of the time.
In the mist, you can vaguely see the ruins of buildings that were ravaged by the war, as well as the rusty remains of various weapons.
A castle that looks relatively complete stands among the architectural ruins and looks extremely eye-catching.
All around, huge, vigorously growing vines hung in the air like octopus tentacles. Against the backdrop of the mist, it was deeply unsettling.
Judging from the atmosphere alone, this place is quite similar to the terrifying three-masted ship in the Devil's Triangle.
This is the residence of Mihawk, the eagle eye of the Shichibukai.
As the world's greatest swordsman, although he also has the identity of a pirate, he has always been a loner.
This kind of style is not common in the pirate circle.
After all, a ship that wants to sail on the sea cannot be sailed by one person alone.
In the castle restaurant.
Hawkeye sat at the head seat of the long dining table, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.
On the table in front of him was an opened envelope.
“…”
Hawkeye looked down at the letter without saying a word.
In the huge restaurant, it was so quiet that only the slightest sound was made when Hawkeye shook the red wine glass.
The letter did not state the reason for the emergency call.
But his intuition told Hawkeye that this call might have something to do with Maud.
Although he lives in seclusion, he always pays attention to the situation.
He didn't miss any newspaper that published major events.
In recent times, newspapers are almost full of reports related to Mod.
"Well… "
Hawkeye put down the red wine glass and propped his cheek instead.
Failure to respond to the emergency summons means that he will lose this rare and quiet residence.
You have to go there after all.
However, before going to the Navy Headquarters...
Hawkeye took out a small piece of life card.
He planned to go to another place first.
After a while.
The sound of the castle gate being closed was heard in the forest.
A tall figure carrying a large sword strode through the mist-filled forest.
In the forest, the baboons, all fully armed and with powerful auras, were watching the figure fading away with a look of fear and awe.
… …
The terrifying barque.
On the well-equipped training ground, there is a stone tablet with historical texts.
The Straw Hats are trying their best to pour their weapons on the stone monument.
However, the armed attack they had raised to the limit could not leave even the slightest trace on the stone tablet.
This form of training has been going on for some time.
Next to the training ground.
Aoki yawned and looked listlessly at the Straw Hats who were undergoing special training.
The warm sun fell on his body, making him feel sleepy.
If I had a blindfold, I might be able to sleep standing up.
"It's progressing pretty fast."
Qingzhi yawned again, thinking silently in his heart.
Judging from the residual power caused by the Straw Hats' attack on the historical text monument, the strength of the Straw Hats' armament has improved significantly after a period of special training.
According to this progress, within a year, the strength of the Straw Hats will be completely transformed.
Ta-ta-
A sound of footsteps came from far away.
Maud came to Qing Pheasant's side.
"Kuzan, you look... like you're about to fall asleep."
"Ah la la..."
Qing Zhi scratched his messy hair, not knowing how to deal with Maud, so he simply dropped the topic.
Mod glanced at the eye droppings hanging at the corners of Aoki's eyes, smiled helplessly, and then looked at the Straw Hats who were undergoing special training.
I don't know if it's because of the strong teaching abilities of Aokiji and Xia Qi, or because of the outstanding potential of the Straw Hats.
During this time, the strength of the Straw Hats has been significantly improved.
Qingzhi turned his head and glanced at Maud's side face, and suddenly said: "I heard from Lafayette that you are going out for a while?"
"Um."
Maud nodded slowly.
Qing Pheasant was a little curious about the reason why Maud went out at such a critical moment, but he did not ask further.
Mod stared at the sweating Straw Hats and said softly: "When I come back, find a place for the Straw Hats to disembark first."
"Ah la la..."
Qing Zhi's face was calm, he understood the meaning of Mod's words.
When Mod comes back, it's time to launch an attack on Impel Down.
As the Straw Hats are outsiders, it is naturally impossible for Mod to take them along.
Letting them disembark early is a natural result.
Unless, the Straw Hats also want to participate in this war.
However, even if the Straw Hats intend to participate, Mod actually doesn't think highly of the Straw Hats' combat capabilities.
Ten minutes later.
The Straw Hats were exhausted and fell to the ground exhausted.
Maud saw this and walked over.
"Zoron, I want to take a long trip."
"Um?"
Sauron raised his upper body with difficulty and looked at Maud with disappointment in his eyes.
During this period of time, he could clearly feel the improvement in his strength.
Therefore, he cherished every minute and every second when Maud taught him swordsmanship.
But Mod's traveling far away means that his speed of increasing strength will be affected to a certain extent.
Mo Dequan didn't see the undisguised disappointment in Sauron's eyes and said calmly:
"While I'm away, you should concentrate on improving your weapon skills. As you are now, you should know that swordsmanship is not everything. In a sense, weapon skills are more important than sword skills."
"knew."
Zoro nodded silently.
Looking at Sauron's reaction, Maude was silent for a moment.
He is responsible for teaching Sauron swordsmanship and can clearly feel Sauron's desire to become stronger as soon as possible.
This desire even exceeds that of the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
In Sauron, Maud vaguely saw the shadow of his former self.
"Zoro, if you don't want to just improve your armament, then let Uncle Rayleigh teach you swordsmanship during my absence."
"good!"
Zoro responded quickly.
He also knows that domineering is a necessary condition for becoming a top powerhouse, but he is very greedy when it comes to improving his strength.
Whether it's swordsmanship or domineering, he doesn't want to fall behind.
That evening.
After explaining all the important matters, Maude only took Bailey with him and left the terrifying three-masted ship lightly under the watch of everyone.
The last ray of the setting sun disappeared.
Maude's figure also disappeared at the end of the night.
Late at night.
Except for Robin, who was sitting in front of the window, leaning on his cheek and looking at the night sky outside the venue, the rest of the Straw Hats were lying on the bed.
However, they all fell asleep at the same time.
As for the cause of insomnia…
It was they who knew that Mod and his party were preparing to attack Impel Down City.
... ... ...
A week later.
A new world, somewhere in the sea.
A small boat built like a raft floats on the sea.
In addition to the small mast with the sail hung on the boat, there is only a chair and two candles inserted at the bow.
Sitting on the chair was a man with his legs crossed, but it was Hawkeye Mihawk.
Hawkeye stared ahead, hands clasped on his thighs.
The boat moved forward slowly with the wind.
In the distance directly ahead, the outline of an island can be vaguely seen.
That was Hawkeye's destination.
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was a wave of sky-high waves on the sea surface, and a huge Neptune-like creature came out of the sea.
A large amount of sea water fell back to the sea along the Neptune body, creating bursts of spray.
The surging waves pushed the boat up and down, making it look precarious.
