Jinbei said firmly to himself.
The banquet is over.
Jinbei and Hachi left Ryugu Castle and headed to Fishman Street.
Before leaving Fish-Man Island with Mod, Jinbei wanted to inform his friends who were temporarily living in Fish-Man Street about this.
What awaits him after that will be a new journey.
After Jinbei and Hachi left, Neptune prepared the highest-standard room for Maud and the others.
It was still early at this time.
Instead of going to her room to rest, Moder came to the gardens of Dragon Palace City to wander alone.
As for Bailey, since he mastered [Return of Life], his food intake and appetite have become more and more outrageous.
There were so many dishes at the dinner, but this guy was still not full. But now, the battlefield had been moved to the room, and he didn't know how much more he would eat before he stopped.
Maud walked in the garden.
The colorful sea corals are scattered around in an orderly manner like flowers clustered together, which is quite unique.
"Lord Maud."
From behind the rockery four or five meters away, Bai Xing's timid voice came.
Maud was not surprised when he heard Bai Xing's voice.
Even without the use of knowledge, Bai Xing's poor hiding ability would not have been able to hide it from Maude.
He followed the sound and looked at Bai Xing, who was half leaning out from behind the rockery. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Princess Bai Xing."
"Well, you don't have to call me princess..."
The white star squirmed and floated over from behind the rockery.
Maud said indifferently: "Then don't use honorifics to me."
"That's okay, you are the benefactor of Fish-Man Island."
Bai Xing shook her head quickly, but there was no timidity in her tone except for this seemingly unimportant matter.
Seeing that Bai Xing seemed to attach great importance to this kind of thing, Maud did not insist.
It's just that he feels that being called an adult will always give him a slight sense of alienation.
Others don't care.
But Bai Xing is one of the ancient weapons.
If possible, Mod still hopes that Bai Xing will not be too open to him.
"Shirahoshi, take me to visit Ryugu City."
Maude looked at Bai Xing with a smile and made a timely request.
Although he didn't know why Shirahoshi wanted to wait for him here, he felt that this was a good opportunity to get closer to Shirahoshi.
"Okay, Lord Maud."
White Star softly agreed to Maude's request.
Later, she led Maud around Dragon Palace City.
During the conversation with Maud, she gradually relaxed and became less timid, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face with delicate features.
After hearing Maud mention the various dangers he encountered during the voyage and the various scenery he saw, Shirahoshi became intensely curious.
"I really want to see the real sun on land..."
Shirahoshi whispered to himself in a hopeful tone.
"There will be a chance, although not now..."
Mod stopped, turned his head to look at Bai Xing's side face, and said seriously: "But I can guarantee that it won't be long before I fulfill my promise and let Fishman Island live under the real sunshine."
"Um!"
Bai Xing met Maud's gaze and showed a beautiful smile again.
Somewhere in an inconspicuous corner.
Neptune and the princes looked at Maud and Bai Xing who were talking and laughing from a distance.
"Bai Xing looks very happy. I originally thought she would be nervous when she was alone with Lady Maud, but it seems I was overly worried."
The eldest prince Shark Star felt a little emotional.
"I didn't expect Lord Maud to have such an approachable side."
The third prince, Car Star, showed his neat teeth when he spoke.
Neptune said nothing, folded his arms, and looked quietly at Maud and White Star in the distance.
From his angle, he could see the smile on Shirahoshi's face, and he was also surprised by Mod's approachable appearance.
As the overturned star said.
It's hard to imagine that Maud, who was so decisive in killing, would have such a gentle side in private.
"It seems..."
Neptune thought to himself: "The two of them can get along."
far away.
Shirahoshi couldn't detect the gazes of Neptune and the others, but Mord could.
In fact, from the moment she met White Star in the garden, Maude was aware of the sights from Neptune and the princes.
But he didn't pay much attention.
It was just that Neptune and the princes were worried about leaving him alone with Shirahoshi.
After a while.
Maude lost interest in shopping and said goodbye to Bai Xing.
Bai Xing was obviously still in high spirits. When he heard that Maud was going back to his room to rest, he couldn't hide his disappointment.
She wanted Maud to stay with her for a little longer, but she didn't have the courage to express her thoughts, so she could only watch Maud go back to her room.
"Lord Maud is so gentle, completely different from what I imagined..."
Watching Maud disappear from sight, Bai Xing put his hands on his heart and murmured to himself.
I don’t know if it’s because of preconceptions, or because of Mod’s identity as the benefactor of Fish-Man Island.
During the short time he spent with Maude, Bai Xing felt that he was not only comfortable but also very happy getting along with Maude.
Maud soon returned to the room.
As soon as he returned to the room, he saw Bailey sleeping soundly on the bed with a big belly.
Maude shook her head slightly, walked over and covered Bailey with the quilt, then sat on the chair by the window and began to think deeply.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Maude looked up, a ray of red light flashed in her eyes, sensing Luo and Perona who had just returned.
After going there for so long, I think I’ve had enough fun.
Maude curled her lips slightly and immediately walked towards the big bed.
Early the next morning.
Maud and his party were ready to set off.
The purpose of coming to Fishman Island was to invite Jinbei to join the pirate group.
Now that it's done, there's no need to wait any longer.
soon.
The Hades sailed away from the Fishman Island and floated toward the sea.
Jinbei was well aware of the nearby sea currents and took over the helmsman's position without hesitation.
Xiaoba, who got on the boat together, didn't know what he was thinking. He held a cleaning tool in each of his six hands and started cleaning the boat.
Maud could feel Xiaoba's discomfort, so she let Xiaoba go.
When he came to Fish-Man Island, he had never thought about letting Hachi join the pirate group.
I just happened to see Hachi following Jinbei. When he invited Jinbei to join the pirate group, he took the opportunity to invite Hachi as well.
In Mod's view, in terms of strength alone, Hachi is obviously not qualified to join the Mod Pirates.
but.
Among the many devil fruits stored in the shadow box, there happens to be a target fruit that is linked to the number of hands.
Hachi has six hands, which are perfect for this devil fruit.
But Mod will not give the target fruit to Xiaoba easily. Some assessments are necessary.
In the deep sea where you can't even see your fingers, the Hades quickly surfaced.
The next trip is to meet up with the terrifying three-masted ship, and then go straight to the Ghost Island of Wano Country.
... ... .
Located in the first half of the great waterway, the rarely visited small garden of Taikoo Island has welcomed a group of uninvited guests.
An oversized ship barely squeezed into the inland waterway of the small garden.
On the top of the ship's mast hangs the fearsome flag of the Beasts Pirates.
If there were outsiders present, they would definitely be surprised by the Beasts Pirates' arrival.
Because Little Garden is very far away from the New World, and it does not have the conditions to serve as a base or transit station.
The Beast Pirates, who are far away in the New World, would send a super-sized ship to a place like this. It is a very strange thing in itself.
What’s even stranger is—
Kaido, the captain of the Beast Pirates, was actually on board.
After leaving the Ten Thousand Kingdoms, they did not return directly to the Island of Ghosts, but came to the small garden of the Ancient Island located in the first half of the Great Channel.
“What a great place.”
Kaido stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the surrounding environment with an expressionless face.
You can see various giant plants on both sides of the river, you can also see various ancient creatures passing through it, and you can even hear the roars of dinosaurs coming from all directions.
Quinn held a cigar in his mouth, standing behind Kaido, squinting at a saber-toothed tiger running away on the river bank on the right, and couldn't help but think of one of the members of the Lingkong Six.
"Even in the Great Channel, ancient islands like this are rare."
He slowly withdrew his gaze, and his tone of voice was full of emotion.
Kaido looked back at Quinn and said calmly: "This is why we are willing to trek from the New World."
With that said, Kaido turned his eyes and looked at Caesar, who looked awkward and uneasy, surrounded by many members of the Beast Pirates.
"Right, Caesar."
"Eh? Well, yes, this place has plenty of experimental materials..."
Facing Kaido's oppressive gaze, Caesar struggled to reveal a smile that was uglier than crying.
Kaido was already used to Caesar's cowardly reaction.
He slowly turned around, looked at Caesar condescendingly, and said expressionlessly: "I hope the 'assumption' you put forward is correct, and not a ridiculous idea casually put forward to perfunctory me."
"How, how could it be possible..."
Caesar pretended to be calm on his face, but he was panicking in his heart, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his back.
His idea of planting artificial fruits in ancient times based on the [Bloodline Factor] is theoretically feasible, but the difficulty in practice is equivalent to requiring him to copy Kaido's fruits...
And unfortunately, this idea and idea was really an idea he casually came up with in order to deal with Kaido.
What is the success rate and whether it can be completed.
He has no confidence at all.
