The menacing eyes of the sea king glanced coldly at the eagle eye on the boat.
Hawkeye raised his head slightly, looked at the Neptune type with an expressionless expression, exuding the intention of attacking, and pulled out an exquisite dagger from the cross necklace.
Clang—
The dagger cut through the air and made a sharp sound.
Almost at the moment the sound rang out, a dark green sword energy slashed through the body of the sea king with lightning speed.
laugh…
The luster in the Neptune's eyes suddenly condensed, and a dazzling bloodstain appeared on the huge body.
One second later.
The Neptuneoid's body split into two halves and fell on the sea, causing waves to rise.
Half an hour later.
Hawkeye dragged half of the Neptune species onto the island.
ashore.
The dozen or so crew members of the red-haired pirates who were responsible for the lookout were looking at Hawkeye cautiously.
Although they knew that Hawkeye had a good relationship with their boss, they still had to be on guard.
"I'm looking for a redhead."
Hawkeye looked at the more than ten red-haired pirate crew members who were on alert and expressed his intention.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to inform the boss right away."
One of the pirates with a red turban on his head did not dare to neglect and turned around to walk towards the forest not far away.
But he had just taken two steps when he saw Shanks walking out of the forest, followed by Beckman and Jesus Bu.
"Yo."
Shanks smiled and said hello to Hawkeye.
He could sense the aura of Hawkeye when he killed the Neptune type with his knife from afar.
Therefore, the arrival of Hawkeye is not surprising at this moment.
The dozen or so crew members of the red-haired pirates looked a little surprised when their boss came out to greet him.
Eagle Eye pointed at the Neptune type on the side and said calmly: "It should be enough to make food for drinks."
"enough."
Shanks smiled and did not ask Hawkeye face-to-face why he was here. Instead, he invited him, "Let's go to the forest. It'll be cooler there."
Hawkeye nodded.
Shanks immediately turned around and prepared to lead Hawkeye to the forest.
But he suddenly stopped.
The same goes for Hawkeye, Beckman, and Jesus.
They looked up into the sky almost simultaneously.
I saw a giant bird tilting its neck and falling straight to the island from the sky.
"Bang!"
The giant bird hit the ground hard and made a loud noise.
The impact brought by the package stirred up a large amount of smoke and dust.
Everyone, led by Shanks, calmly looked at the smoke and dust that spread around.
A figure slowly emerged from the smoke.
The person who came was Maud.
Bailey, on the other hand, was lying lazily on Maude's shoulder.
Seeing Mod, Shanks and others showed surprised expressions.
"Maud, you kid, you didn't even say a word before you came."
Jesus Bu took the lead to greet her. He wanted to rub Maude's hair vigorously, but found out awkwardly that Maude was more than half her body taller than him, so he gave up the idea and hugged Maude instead.
"Be careful next time."
Maude smiled.
Jesus Bu also smiled and raised his hand to pat Maude on the shoulder.
"Maud, why are you here?"
Shanks came forward and showed a hearty smile.
Mod glanced at Hawkeye who was following Shanks, and a strange color flashed across his eyes, feeling strange that Hawkeye would be here.
Logically speaking, Hawkeye, who is a Shichibukai like Cavendish, should also have received the emergency summons.
As a result, Hawkeye did not go to the Navy Headquarters, but came to Shanks.
Feeling strange, Mod looked at Shanks and said seriously: "Didn't I say that I would help you recover your arm some time ago? I thought I had something to do with you, so I came directly here."
"oh?"
Shanks raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Find a place to sit and chat while drinking."
"good."
Maud nodded and immediately pointed at the giant bird he had just shot down.
"It should be enough to serve as a side dish."
“…”
Seeing that Mod said the same thing as Hawkeye, Shanks, Beckman, and Jesus were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Hawkeye.
These two people actually did the same thing and said the same thing.
How interesting.
Hawkeye had a calm look on his face and ignored the joking looks from Shanks and the other three, and turned to look at Mod in silence.
He can feel it.
The strength of the man in front of him has risen to another level after fighting in the war.
Hawkeye really wanted to challenge Maude to a contest on the spot, but the occasion was not right and the time was not right, so he resisted with difficulty.
ten minutes later.
Everyone came to the dense forest.
Unlike the scorching sun outside, there are big trees everywhere that can provide shade.
We found a shady place and sat on the ground.
The crew members of the red-haired pirates brought barrels of spirits and immediately retreated to a distance. They also sat in the shade of the trees and looked at Maud and Hawkeye, who were sitting on the same ground as their boss, with different expressions.
Shanks, as a landlord, lifted the barrel with one hand and poured wine for Maud and Hawkeye.
The wine, which exudes a rich aroma, falls into the bowl and curls up with beautiful hops.
At Shanks's signal, Maude and Hawkeye each raised their glasses and drank it down in one gulp.
Mod put down his wine glass and did not shy away from Hawkeye who was present. He said straight to the point: "Shanks, I need your help."
"you say."
While Shanks looked at Mod, he lifted the barrel and poured wine into the wine bowl.
Maud looked down at the hops swirling in the wine bowl, and recounted exactly what happened to Rayleigh, Thor, and Jabba.
Naturally, the navy that fueled the situation and the reason why he attacked all nations were not ignored.
After listening to Mod's narration, Shanks frowned. On the other hand, Beckman had a similar reaction to Shanks, while Jesus had an angry look on his face.
"Uncle Jabba's current whereabouts are unknown, and Thor should still be imprisoned in Impel Down, so..."
Mod looked at Shanks and said solemnly: "I want to attack Impel Down!"
"This is not a rational decision."
Shanks sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "It may cost you a heavy price."
Maud said firmly: "But I must do it."
Shanks was silent for a moment.
After a while.
The emperor who came to the new world said this: "Help me restore my arm."
This is equivalent to agreeing to Maude's request for help.
On the side, Hawkeye looked at Maud, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
The emergency summons issued by the navy was indeed related to Maude.
But if the red-haired pirates are also involved, this will be...
A war on a larger scale!
Chapter 281 is almost done...
The balance between forces…
Especially the New World has been turned into a mess by Mod.
Realizing that Morde was bound to win the attack on Impel Down, Shanks agreed to Morde's request for help without much thought.
With his identity and position, he cannot refuse regardless of emotion or reason.
Seeing Shanks agree, Mod felt relieved.
With the addition of the red-haired pirates, the pressure on combat power will be greatly relieved.
Hearing that Shanks' arm could be restored, the crew members of the red-haired pirate group came over and looked at Mode intently.
Their reactions were even more caring than Shanks himself.
With everyone watching, Mod reached into Shanks' shadow with one hand, and with a slight movement of his mind, he used his shadow repair ability.
In just the blink of an eye, Shanks' arm recovered silently.
Seeing their boss's arm recover instantly, the crew members of the red-haired pirates suddenly showed excited expressions.
"Very good!!!"
"Haha, the boss's arm is back!"
"Little Maud, I really belong to you!"
The crew of the red-haired pirates cheered loudly with excitement.
Shanks, on the other hand, was very calm.
He moved his newly recovered arm a little.
It seems that because the arm has been broken for too long, the feeling that comes back is a little familiar and a little strange.
But what is certain is that the arm that Mod used his shadow ability to help him recover is indeed exactly the same as before in terms of strength, and it is a true recovery.
This way, you don’t have to spend time and energy getting used to the arm.
"No wonder we have to pay the price with our life span..."
Shanks' fingers flexed and stretched slightly.
If the arm is restored, it will be as tender as a newborn baby.
So, for a strong man of his level, it is better to keep the arm broken, so as not to affect the overall coordination.
"how?"
Mod looked at Shanks who was flexing his fingers.
Shanks smiled: "It's no different from the 'original' arm."
