Perona was so excited that she waved her little fists in her heart.
not far away.
Reiju was a little confused.
Cavendish and Perona suddenly intervened in the battle, as well as Tezzolo's inconsistent reaction, making her full of doubts at the moment.
Not to mention the three poor eggs wrapped tightly by golden vines.
They couldn't break free from the entanglement of the golden vines, and they couldn't understand why Tezoro, who was as powerful as a monster, was so afraid of the ghost girl.
Tezzolo had no idea what Perona and the others were thinking at this moment.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Now, he just wants to see that adult with his own eyes!
"Perona, Princess Mononoke."
Tezzolo raised his head and looked at Perona floating in mid-air with excitement.
According to his past behavior, he would definitely slap Perona on the ground before speaking.
The reason is that Perona is not worthy of him looking up to.
But he didn't do that.
"Since you are here, then..."
Tezzolo, who is an excellent singer, had a noticeable tremor in his voice when he spoke.
This reaction showed how excited he was now.
"Is that adult also here?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Perona was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Tezzolo meant by this sentence.
However, she noticed that Tezzolo's body no longer trembled, but his face was full of excitement.
This made her realize.
The reason why this guy was trembling just now was not because of fear, but because of excitement.
Seeing Perona's reaction, Tezzolo was too lazy to ask and looked around.
Nothing was found.
Then, Tezzolo, who always looked down at others, quickly raised his head and looked at the sky, which he usually ignored.
What came into view was a ship suspended high in the sky with a black color scheme and a dragon head as its bow.
With just one glance, Tezzolo recognized the ship as the Hades of the Mord Pirates.
But the next second, his attention was instantly attracted by a figure standing at the bow of the Hades.
"Finally, finally... see you!!!"
From the moment he saw Mod, Tezzolo's eyes were bright and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Perona, Cavendish, and Reiju in the field watched Tezzolo's reaction.
Then, they followed Tezzolo's line of sight and looked at Mod standing on the bow of the ship.
Seeing this scene, they finally understood.
Tezzolo reacted this way not because of Perona, but because of Mod.
only-
From their perspective, Tezzolo's expression at this moment gave people an indescribable feeling.
It doesn't look quite adoration, nor quite awe.
To put it bluntly, it's more like a mixture of worship and awe, with some unexplained longing mixed into it.
So, why did Tezzolo react this way after seeing Mod
As an outsider, Reiju didn't have the time or mood to delve deeper.
But as members of Maud's command, Cavendish and Perona became deeply curious.
On the bow of the Hades.
Facing the complicated look that Tezzolo looked at, Maude was a little confused.
Before this, he and Tezolo had no interaction.
But what's going on with Tezzolo like this
Maude always felt that this kind of experience seemed similar.
It seems that I have encountered a similar experience recently.
Thinking of this, Maude raised her eyebrows and recalled it for a moment.
Then.
Hancock's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind.
When he was on the battlefield in Impel Down, Hancock's attitude towards him made him very baffled at the time.
Now the Golden Emperor's performance gave him the same feeling.
"This guy...could he have also been persecuted by the Tianlong people?"
Maud guessed in her mind.
After all, with Hancock's extremely vivid example, Maude felt that this guess was very reliable.
Aboard the Gulan Tezzolo.
Tezoro suppressed the waves in his heart as much as possible, and then used his mind to control the golden vines scattered around, gathering them around him.
Including the golden vines that tightly wrapped around Iji, Yuji, and Niji, they also moved closer to Tezzolo.
However, the golden vines did not bring the three of Iji together, but casually threw the three of them to the ground as if they were throwing away garbage.
Bang bang bang.
Iji, Yongji, and Niji fell heavily to the ground, their consciousness almost blurred.
Seeing this, Reiju had no time to think, so she rushed to the side of Iji and the other three as quickly as possible, and then carried them on her shoulders.
Judging from the current situation, they are obviously not qualified to stay and continue fighting.
Escape with the shame of defeat.
It's their only choice now.
Reijiu didn't hesitate or feel any psychological burden.
She carried Iji and the three of them by herself, activated the jet shoe function and flew towards her island ship without Tezolo noticing her.
But actually.
It's not that Tezoro didn't notice Reiju's actions, but he didn't take Reiju and the others seriously at all.
To Tezoro, Reiju and the others, who couldn't even give him any fun, were just like insignificant insects, no different.
Reiju didn't notice Tezoro's contempt for them. All she wanted now was to escape from this place of right and wrong.
Tezzolo ignored Reiju who fled in a hurry, and did not care about Perona and Cavendish behind him.
He looked up at the slowly descending Hades Horn, and at the same time mobilized a large amount of gold to gather around him, and immediately raised his voice and shouted out Maud's full name.
"Baca D. Maud!"
“…”
Mod looked down at Tezzolo, and was keenly aware of something. His eyes were deep and calm, but his right hand was clinging to the hilt of the autumn water knife.
The four people beside him, Lafayette, Jaya, Brooke, and Bonnie, first looked at Maude, and then looked at Tezzolo, who had an unclear attitude, with strange expressions in their eyes.
Behind Tezzolo.
Cavendish and Perona looked at each other, confused for a moment what Tezzolo wanted to do.
Reiju, who was running away, couldn't help but look back after hearing Tezoro's shout.
On the boat at Germa Island.
Gaji looked at the four Reiju who were escaping back with a gloomy expression.
He didn't expect that the highest masterpiece he was proud of would be defeated so simply.
But being able to return safely is considered a blessing among misfortunes.
"Start the national ship and get out of here."
Gaji gave orders to the reformed soldiers beside him.
In such a situation, we must race against time to escape from here.
Naturally, it was impossible to wait for Reiju and the others to come back before launching the island ship.
After all, Reiju's jet shoes are much faster than the island ship.
"yes!"
After hearing Gaji's order, the soldiers immediately took action.
The island ship was formed by the merger of hundreds of ships, and headed forward with a deafening rumble.
Gaji looked at Reiju who was flying over, then turned his eyes to look at the Hades slowly descending from the sky.
To be precise, I was looking at Maude, who had turned the entire world upside down in recent years.
"Baca D. Maude..."
Jiazhi said to himself in a deep voice.
suddenly.
He noticed Bonnie's presence.
"Um?"
The moment he saw Bonnie, Gaji's expression changed, and bursts of light appeared in his eyes.
But in the next second, all the light was gone.
"I really didn't expect... that she would be on the ship of the Mod Pirates."
Gaji subconsciously clenched his fists and looked at Bonnie with eyes full of undisguised greed.
He knew Bonnie's abilities, and even more clearly the importance of Bonnie's abilities to his country and ambitions.
To put it bluntly, as long as he can control Bonnie's ability, Germa's national power will usher in an unprecedented explosive period.
By then, the ambition to dominate the world will not be out of the question.
However-
With his current army, he simply has no ability to capture Bonnie.
Gaji moved his eyes away from Bonnie with great difficulty, and the greed in his eyes also faded away like the tide.
This tool man with astonishing value is not something he can get his hands on now.
Even though I am reluctant to do so, this is the fact.
Whether it's in front of the Golden Emperor Tezoro or the Mod Pirates.
The army he relied on to be invincible in the war could not respond to his expectations.
at the same time.
After Tezzolo called out Mod's full name, he still stared at Mod with his eyes fixed on him, an excited smile slowly appeared on his face.
He raised his hands and pointed directly at Maud, who was standing at the bow of the Hades.
"The only man in the world who dares to break the iron rules and kill the Celestial Dragons. You are my most distinguished guest in Tezoro. If you don't mind, please accept the invitation I specially prepared for you."
"Um?"
Moder calmly looked at the large amount of liquid gold surrounding Tezzolo.
