Maude sat up straight, looked at the phone bug, and asked, "Are you okay there?"
"Well, I followed the organization to perform a mission some time ago. I originally thought that the mission could be completed without too much effort, but I didn't expect that it was a trap set by the World Government."
"What happened?"
Maude looked tense and asked quickly.
"We went to a Winter Island country that practiced slavery. That place was in civil strife. For us, it was a good opportunity for 'liberation', but we fell into the trap of the world government."
"The opponent's combat troops were very strong. We suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat. Fortunately, Jasmine's ability can dig out a temporary safe base in the snowy mountains, so we escaped the opponent's pursuit."
"We rested in the cave stronghold for almost a week, and it was not until last night that we successfully escaped from there."
Sunny used a calm tone to explain what happened during the mission.
If it weren't for the Slippery Fruit's ability to slip away some types of damage, the encounter that night would most likely have cost Sunny her life.
"It's okay."
Maude breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "What about Sabo and the others?"
"Only Betty was slightly injured, the others are fine."
"That's good."
"Maude, I saw the news."
"Um?"
"why did not you tell me?"
Sunny changed the topic and revealed a hint of anger in her tone.
He seemed angry.
Maude was shocked, thinking that Sunny already knew about Sol.
"What?"
It’s just that Maud didn’t know how to talk to Sunny about this matter, so she didn’t pick up the conversation, but pretended not to understand what Sunny meant.
"Why didn't you tell me about your attack on Impel City? I could obviously help you..."
"ah?"
Maude was startled when she heard this, and then she realized that Sunny didn't know about Sol yet, otherwise she would definitely ask about Sol immediately.
"Sorry, it's my fault."
Without too many excuses, Maude simply admitted her mistake.
In this case, this was the only way to calm down Sunny instantly.
"Hmph, there won't be a next time."
Sunny's cold snort came from the phone bug.
Seeing Maud admit her mistake, she really calmed down.
"Okay, I promise it won't happen again. If I need help in the future, I will definitely come to you as soon as possible."
Maud watched the phone bug synchronize Sunny's slightly arrogant expression, and her eyes suddenly softened.
"But you also have to promise me that if you have trouble over there, don't think too much about me, and don't worry about my position. You must tell me as soon as possible. Even if it's a big trouble, I will help you. solve."
“…”
There was silence on the other side of the phone, and Jasmine's rough voice of jealousy could be vaguely heard, as well as Kerra's rather envious exclamation.
"Um."
A few seconds later, Sunny's excited voice came from the phone bug.
"Mode, I still have something to do here. I'll call you when I get back to the stronghold."
"good."
Maud nodded.
Snap.
The phone bug then hung up.
Maud looked at the phone bug with his eyes closed, slowly raised his hand to his forehead, and sighed softly in his heart.
How to tell Sunny about the death was a problem for him.
Suddenly, Maude felt a sharp gaze, and when she looked up, she saw Hancock who was not hiding his jealousy.
"Who is the woman who called you?"
Hancock looked directly at Maude, his original shyness no longer present.
Maude was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously: "Oh, it's Sunny."
"Sunny? Who is she to you?!!"
Hancock asked quickly, looking quite impatient.
"family."
"Eh?"
Hancock automatically imagined the kind of family that would complete a wedding, and he took a step back as if he was lost.
But she quickly thought of another possibility, looked at Maud and asked eagerly: "Is it my sister? Or my sister?"
"neither."
Maud shook her head.
Hancock's eyes trembled, and his body felt like it was struck by lightning.
"How could this happen... So, she is yours, yours..."
She was so shocked that she couldn't help but take a few steps back, and then she fell to the ground without any strength, her face full of sorrow.
"I... don't want to live anymore."
"???"
Maud had a question mark.
Not far away, Cavendish and Perona looked at the hopeless Hancock with confused expressions on their faces.
Chapter 347: A shocking scene
Not long after the Hades set sail, a phone call from Sunny left Hancock devastated and hopeless.
Ulki always maintained a smile that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and was not at all interested in Hancock's reaction. He just looked up at the sky, seeming to miss his island home in the Great Waterway Paradise.
Lafayette was paying attention to the course and paid no attention to what was going on on the deck.
Brooke, who always had no qualms about asking others for their underwear, seemed very low-key since boarding the ship. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Hancock was obsessed with his captain, so Brooke did not act recklessly.
Cavendish and Perona witnessed how Hancock lost his vitality. They were confused and found it incredible.
This is the empress.
But how could he become so humble in front of Maud
When the Shichibukai Conference was held, Cavendi probably witnessed Hancock's unreasonable cold and arrogant temper. He was always kind to any man. If he was slightly unhappy, he would just give him a slap in the face.
But now...
Cavendish stared at Hancock, who suddenly became extremely negative, with wide eyes.
After a moment, he couldn't help but glanced at Perona.
This look seemed to say: Hancock became like this, could it be because of you
Perona instantly understood the meaning of Cavendish's look, raised her eyebrows suddenly, put her hands on her hips and said: "Don't look at me like this, that woman will become like this, and it has nothing to do with me!"
To be honest, Perona really thought about adding fuel to Hancock's anger just now, but it was just a thought, and she really did not summon the negative ghost on Hancock.
Cavendish was dubious and looked at the hopeless Hancock again.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other…
He thought silently in his heart.
With a question mark on her face, Maud placed the phone bug on the table, then stood up and walked towards Hancock.
"Hancock, what's wrong with you?"
"Maud..."
Hancock looked up at Maud and said sadly: "It turns out you already have a family."
"Family???"
Maud was stunned again and asked, "Do you mean starting a family?"
"Um."
Hancock covered his mouth, tears about to fall.
Maude shook her head and said, "You misunderstood. I haven't started a family yet, and I won't have such an idea in the short term."
"Um?"
Hancock blinked, and a ray of hope suddenly emerged in his heart, and he asked hurriedly: "But the woman named Sunny is not your sister or your sister, but she is your family member..."
"Yes, they are my family, but it's not the kind of relationship you think."
Maude squatted down, stretched out her right hand towards Hancock, and said gently: "Anyway, you'd better get up first and then talk."
"Well… "
Hancock looked at Maude's extended right hand, his heart suddenly beat faster, and patches of blush appeared uncontrollably on his fair cheeks.
Without any hesitation, as if she was afraid of losing Maud, she took Maud's extended hand as quickly as possible.
The moment he touched Maude's palm, Hancock felt an electric current pass along the palm of his arm and spread throughout his body.
Such a clear strange feeling made Hancock's face turn even redder, and his whole head suddenly became confused.
With a little effort, Maude pulled the dazed Hancock up.
At this time, Maude noticed that Hancock's face was horribly red, and white smoke was vaguely rising from his head.
Cavendish and Perona, who were watching on the side, also noticed it and couldn't help but droop their eyes.
The two of them have gained a lot of experience today.
“…”
Maude looked at Hancock's burning red face, was speechless for a while, and then quickly withdrew her hand.
He was really afraid that Hancock would burn out his head.
And he now fully understands that Hancock's resistance to love storms is pitifully weak, and his knowledge is refreshed every time.
The most important thing is-
In Maude's impression, Hancock's words and deeds in the original work were probably not so exaggerated.
Now Maud feels like a completely different person.
"It's better to send her back to Nine Snakes Island quickly and let her calm down."
Maud thought to herself.
For a man, it should be a matter of pride for him to be so obsessed with the Queen.
However, Hancock's unusual reactions in the storm of love made Maude a little frightened.
Hancock, who learned that Maud did not have a family, instantly got rid of his negative state and returned to his previous appearance.
In this way, the Hades moved forward all the way to Daughter Island in the windless zone.
The windless zone, regarded by the world as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, poses no threat to Jia Ya's fluttering ability.
After a week of sailing, the Hades successfully arrived in the airspace above Daughter Island.
Maud originally planned to let Hancock return on his own, but Hancock didn't want Maud to leave just like that, and wanted to host a banquet for Maud in the palace.
No matter what, Maud must stay one night in the palace before leaving.
