Neptune informed the princes of his decision to send troops to assist.
This means that after finally recovering part of the defensive strength, we have to start from scratch again.
However, the princes strongly agreed with Neptune's decision.
Like Neptune, they all placed their deepest hopes on Maud.
"Father... I also want to help Maud, but... I can't even 'fight'."
Shirahoshi looked at Neptune with a frown.
Hearing Shirahoshi's words, Neptune was stunned for a moment.
He thought Bai Xing was afraid of Maude, so he reacted that way during the day.
But now it seems that is not the case.
"Shirahoshi, everyone has things they can't do, but just because you can't do it now, doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future."
Neptune smiled and comforted: "Even if you are unable to do anything now, my father believes that you will definitely be able to do it in the future."
"Um!"
Shirahoshi nodded vigorously.
... ... .
Two days later.
Having accomplished her purpose, Maude did not stay long.
He also left a life card and immediately boarded a randomly selected downwind boat to leave the Fish-Man Island and go to the waters of the new world.
The coated pirate ship travels through the cold seabed.
on deck.
Maud sat back in her chair.
Surrounding them were a group of pirates with frightened faces and trembling bodies.
God knows why Maud, who has a notorious reputation for evil, suddenly boarded their ship.
The captain of the pirate ship held a newspaper and walked towards Maud with his legs swaying, like a prisoner being led to the execution ground.
The crew members all cast solemn glances at the captain.
"Lord Maud, this, this is the newspaper you want."
The captain came to Maud's side and handed over the newspaper tremblingly.
"Thank you, go and do your work."
Maude took the newspaper and nodded towards the shivering captain.
Relieved, the captain hurried away from Maud and returned to where the crew was.
"Oh my God, what did I hear?! That Lord Maude, who is famous all over the world... actually thanked Captain Wesker!!! Could I have heard wrongly!!!"
"No, you heard that right!"
"Captain Wesker is so awesome. Not only did he successfully hand a newspaper to Lord Maud, but he also got Lord Maud's approval!!!"
"Wow, we are lucky to be able to follow such a powerful captain!!!"
The crew worshiped Captain Wesker as they watched his triumphant return.
Listening to the crew's compliments, Wesker looked confused.
Is it such a sense of accomplishment to successfully deliver a newspaper to Lord Maud
Facing the admiring gazes of the crew, Wesker's rough face slowly showed a proud look.
Bailey squatted on the table beside Maud.
At this moment, he looked at this group of living treasures who seemed to be having a seizure.
Maud didn't pay much attention.
In this world, there are many cruel pirates who do all kinds of evil, and there are also many funny pirates with full treasure attributes.
Ignoring the noise coming from the other side of the deck, Maud lowered her head and read the newspaper.
This is yesterday's newspaper.
Of the news published above, only one caught Maud's attention.
It's not so much news as it is an official announcement from the Deep Sea Prison Impel Down City.
The content is roughly as follows: Impel Down City's cells and resources began to become tense. After careful consideration, it was decided to execute the death penalty on some prisoners in the prison. The time was set at noon a week later.
After seeing this news, Maude's pupils shrank sharply.
From the perspective of others, this news is just an official announcement from Impel Down City. Most people will not pay much attention to it after seeing it.
People are more concerned about any major events that will affect the turbulent situation.
But Maud knew...
This news, which was more like a notice, was actually a letter of notification with ulterior motives to him.
As if telling him: Do you want to rob prison? Then you only have one week left.
"Navy..."
There was a chill in Maud's eyes.
He vaguely felt the navy's determination to get rid of him.
After taking a deep breath, Maud stood up from the chair and walked to the captain's cabin on the ship.
Asking Bailey to guard outside, Maude opened the cover of the watch and phone bug, and successively contacted his companions on the terrifying three-masted ship, as well as the red-haired pirates who had been prepared for rescue.
Under the tight time limit, he had to gather all the combat forces together as soon as possible and then march into the impel city.
As for the three thousand troops on Fishman Island...
Because it's not far from Impel Down City, there's no need to worry about the efficiency of gathering here.
After sending the assembly message out, Maud thought for a moment and dialed Cavendish's number.
A few seconds passed.
The phone bug was answered.
Because it is a bug-proof phone bug, it does not show any of Cavendish's physical features.
"Xiao Ka, is it okay to talk?"
Maud looked at the black watch phone bug and spoke first.
"convenient."
Cavendish's slightly solemn voice came out from the phone: "I was planning to call you, but I didn't expect you to call me first."
"fine."
Maud paused for a moment, then asked: "Have you arrived at the Navy Headquarters?"
"It's been here a long time ago."
Cavendish suddenly lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Hey, Maud... the Navy did summon us urgently to deal with you. Not only that, the Navy also assembled a lot of troops. This is no joke!"
"Yeah… "
Maud's eyes were cold.
Cavendish wondered: "But what I don't understand is that even if the Navy has spent so much effort to assemble so much combat power, you can't be stupid enough to send it to your door."
“…”
Maud was silent.
The other end of the phone bug.
Cavendish looked at the suddenly silent phone bug and became even more confused.
After a while.
Maude's calm voice came through the phone bug.
"Unfortunately, I will actually deliver it to your door."
"!!!"
Cavendish's expression changed. He knew very well that Maud was not the kind of man who liked to do stupid things. Realizing that there might be some hidden secret, he immediately frowned and said, "What on earth is going on?"
"It's a long story..."
Listening to the words coming from the phone bug, Cavendish's face straightened and he was ready to listen.
Immediately afterwards, he heard what Maud said next.
"Because it's too long, I won't go into details."
"???"
Cavendish was stunned and had the urge to draw his sword.
Maud, who was far away in the deep sea, looked at the silent black phone bug, as if she could see Cavendish's reaction, and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
"Xiao Ka, the Navy seems to have made sufficient preparations... Although I know you will not stand on the side of the Navy, but don't rush to stand on my side, that may make you..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't care how big the navy will be. Since I have agreed to your 'request', I will definitely do what I say!"
Cavendish interrupted Maud rudely.
Maud asked solemnly: "Even if it means death?"
"So what."
"See you in a week."
After saying that, Maude hung up the phone.
He is looking for ways to expand his combat power, and the Navy is also actively preparing.
But obviously, it was the Navy that took a step forward.
Navy Headquarters.
Cavendish put away the bug-proof phone properly and looked slightly solemn.
During his time at the Navy Headquarters, he noticed that a large number of troops were gathering at the Navy Headquarters from all over the world.
Such a big move was just to deal with Maud.
When Cavendish finally received the reason for the call from the Navy, he clearly felt the Navy's determination to get rid of Maud.
Although he doesn't know the reason, he will stand firmly by Maud's side just like he said just now.
What Cavendish didn’t know was—
The target that the navy wants to get rid of this time is not only the Mod Pirates, but also the Shichibukai!
This was a plan to follow the trend and skip the process of abolishing the Shichibukai system.
... ... .
The days passed.
An undercurrent that is difficult to detect is surging beneath the seemingly calm sea surface.
On the eve of the prison cleanup operation.
late at night.
The night sky is cloudless and the full moon hangs high.
The area around the heavily guarded Impel City was filled with warships of the highest scale.
And at this moment,
In the distant sky, huge black shadows slowly appeared.
The moment the black silhouette appeared, the lookouts in Impel Down City, whose alert level was raised to the highest level, quickly noticed it.
After their careful identification.
