As for Yamato always clamoring to become Kozuki Oden, Mod and the others could only keep the strange feeling in their hearts.
Although I was very curious about how Yamato became like this, I didn't have the time or energy to delve into it.
"O... Oden, just have a good chat with your retainer."
Seeing that Yamato was so deeply involved in the drama, Mod simply left the uninvited Denjiro to Yamato to deal with.
Hearing Mod call him Oden, Yamato looked at Mod reflexively, his face full of joy, and his eyes filled with starlight.
"Uh-huh."
Yamato nodded quickly towards Moder three or four times, and then looked at Denjiro in front of him, the stars in his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Denjiro subconsciously took a step back.
Question marks kept popping up, confusing his thoughts.
Mod ignored Denjiro and called his companions to go to the battlefield.
In addition to taking out several ancient animal-type Devil Fruits on the battlefield, he also had to go to the Onigashima Castle, which was more than half destroyed, to search for loot.
Mod strode toward the battlefield, followed closely by the pirates.
While walking, Mod looked back at Denjiro who was entangled by Yamato, paused, and looked up at the people of Kinemon further away.
In fact, since Denjiro specifically stated his hostile relationship with the Beast Pirates when he introduced himself, Mod had an insight into Denjiro's intention.
It was simply because he saw them attacking Kaido's Ghost Island, so he wanted to join forces with him to deal with Kaido who had not returned from the trip.
Mod saw through Denjiro's intention, but he would not accept the terrible proposal of joining forces, let alone stay in Wano Country and wait for Kaido to return.
Because from the moment he attacks Onigashima, the members of the Beast Pirates on the island will definitely report the situation here to Kaido who may still be in the world.
Therefore, as long as Kaido is not stupid, there is a high probability that he will return to Wano Country with him.
To know…
Compared to Kaido, the mood to kill him is probably even stronger.
The two four emperors will join forces and bring a large army over.
Mod has not officially expanded the team, the transformation of the terrifying barque has not been completed, and the research on dual-ability chimeras has not made progress.
There is really no need to risk a head-on confrontation before the time is right.
As long as you give him a little more time, it doesn't matter whether it's Kaido or not.
It will definitely become his stepping stone!
At that time, Mod plans to divide the new world with Shanks, and then build the territory within their sphere of influence into a true paradise that does not allow interference from the world government, navy, underground world, slave hunting team, etc.
As the owner of the paradise, Maude has achieved her long-cherished wish.
He will no longer be arbitrarily slaughtered because of lack of strength, and he will no longer have to experience the powerlessness he felt in Mad Hatter Town when he could neither protect himself nor his family.
"Clean up the bodies, and by the way, collect the weapons and equipment."
Looking over the corpses on the ground and the blood diluted by the rain, Maude only felt dazzling.
After hearing Mod's instructions, everyone who had consumed a lot of energy due to fighting began to get busy.
There were so many corpses, and weapons and equipment had to be collected.
This workload is no joke.
Jaya's ability is best suited for cleaning up corpses, but she did not join in. Instead, she went directly to the kitchen of Onigashima Castle to prepare food for everyone that could replenish their physical strength as soon as possible.
Mod also went to the castle on Ghost Island. In the room on the first floor closest to the gate, he was waiting for Luo to bring Samu and the others over.
A few minutes later.
Luo brought Shi Mu and others to the room.
He was accompanied by Lafayette, who carried a long knife and a repeating flintlock gun.
After entering the room, Lafayette did not speak, but stood quietly to one side.
There is no need to worry about what he wants to discuss with Mod. He can wait until the ancient Devil Fruit is taken out first.
Luo threw the bodies of Samu, Peggywan, and Fuzifu on the ground.
Then he used his ability to take out the hearts of the three people one after another, and stuffed them into fruits with ease.
"okay."
After finishing the preparations, Luo threw the three hearts over.
Maud took the three hearts that Luo threw over, and it was straightforward. It only took a second or two to end the lives of several people in Zhimu.
Seconds passed.
The appearance of the three fruits inside the translucent film slowly changes.
A few more seconds passed.
Three new ancient devil fruits appeared in front of Maud and the others.
They are Peggy Wan's Spinosaurus ancient devil fruit, Fozifu's sabertooth tiger ancient devil fruit, and Sarugi's Baotoulong ancient devil fruit.
Counting Jhin's pterosaur ancient devil fruit, Moder got four ancient devil fruits in this operation, which can be said to be a bumper harvest.
If someone were to hold four ancient Devil Fruits in their hands at once, they would be so excited that they would hold them in their arms and not let go easily.
But Mod had so many Devil Fruits in his collection that he put them directly into the Shadow Box without even taking a second look at these four ancient Devil Fruits.
"Mod, how many Devil Fruits do you have in there?"
Luo watched as Mod put four ancient Devil Fruits into Shadow Wave with a flip of his hand, and was suddenly curious about how many Devil Fruits Mod had collected so far.
"Let me see."
After hearing Luo's words, Maud had a thought, and a shadow vortex appeared out of thin air in his palm.
There was a soft sneer.
A shadow tree emerged from the whirlpool and stood in Maud's palm.
Then, devil fruits of different shapes were pulled from the vortex by black silk threads and hung on the branches of the shadow tree.
Only four or five seconds.
The shadow branch standing in Maud's palm was covered with colorful Devil Fruits.
Seeing the masterpiece created by Maud's beckoning, even if Lafayette and Luo were mentally prepared, they were inevitably surprised.
"No more, no less, exactly twenty."
When he took out the devil fruits, Maude counted them and reported the number directly without waiting for Lafayette and Luo to count.
When Luo heard this, he stared blankly at the twenty Devil Fruits hanging on the branches of the shadow branches.
After a few seconds of silence, he sighed: "Maud, sooner or later you will become the enemy of the world."
Collected a total of twenty devil fruits...
This kind of thing is simply unseen and unheard of, and it can even be said that it is unprecedented and unprecedented.
It's so outrageous.
If the whole world knew that Mod had twenty Devil Fruits in his hand—
Maybe he would be forced to become a public enemy of the world, as he said, and then be hunted down by forces all over the world.
"It doesn't matter."
Maud smiled.
He believed that it was time to become a public enemy of the world...
I'm afraid, the whole world can't help him.
After flipping his hands to take back all the Devil Fruits, Maude looked at the weapon Lafayette had specially brought over.
"What's wrong, Lafayette?"
"Hoho, these two weapons are a bit special... not only the manufacturing process, but also the ore used to make the weapons. In addition, the gun's magazine contains seastone bullets."
Lafayette placed the long knife and repeating flintlock on the table.
"And these things were all taken from here, before Kaido came back..."
"Take all the resources."
Chapter 381: Potential Things
long, long ago.
Wano Country is a world power with extremely rich mineral resources.
At that time, the country of Wano was filled with gold, so it was called the golden country by the world.
But that was hundreds of years ago.
In Wano Country today, there is not much gold left.
But there are surprisingly many other mineral resources hidden under the earth.
Ever since Kaido established his territory in Wano, he has never stopped exploiting Wano's minerals.
However, it has been mined for more than ten or twenty years.
However, Wano's mineral resources are still abundant and seem to be inexhaustible.
In addition to the ore called ferrite that is used to make weapons, the world-famous seastone that can target people with abilities is also mined from Wano Country.
This extremely rare ore is only found in Wano Country.
This is one of the reasons why Kaido wants to occupy Wano Country.
Therefore, even if Lafayette did not specifically remind him, Maud would not miss these precious non-renewable resources.
in addition-
On the battlefield outside, there are about 20,000 sets of weapons and equipment.
The value it possesses is enough to arm a medium-sized country to its teeth.
It's just that there aren't even a hundred people in Mod's team, so they can't use so many weapons.
If you don't use it, you can take it to the underground world in exchange for countless amounts of money.
However, from the moment Tezzolo joined his command—
Money... Maud is really not short of it.
Thinking about it this way, whether it is the tens of thousands of weapons and equipment that have not yet been collected on the battlefield of Onigashima, or the rich mineral resources contained in Wano Country.
All of them are not in line with Mod's current needs.
but…
Even if Mod can't use these resources now, it's impossible to leave them to Kaido.
Besides, he doesn't mind exchanging these weapons and resources with the revolutionary army for things of equal value.
"Let's go back and have a look after cleaning the battlefield. I remember that on the way to Ghost Island, I seemed to see mines and factories. There should be a lot of good things in there. I can grab them directly when the time comes."
While Maude was speaking, she picked up the gun that Lafayette had brought and took out the seastone bullets inside.
The moment his fingertips touched the sea tower stone, Mord suddenly felt powerless.
The connection with the shadow ability was also cut off in an instant.
Maude used a little force to rub the seastone bullets with her fingers.
After eating the shadow fruit on the terrifying barque, Mod would rub the seastone bullet passed to him by Thor whenever he had nothing to do, to get used to the feeling of powerlessness caused by the energy of the sea.
After exercising for a long time, Mod has basically adapted to it.
Just the energy of a sea tower stone bullet wouldn't cause him much trouble.
On the contrary, the inability to use abilities cannot be overcome no matter how hard one practices and adapts.
Lafayette and Luo quietly watched Maud rubbing the seastone bullets.
Lafayette and Luo Ting had known about this exercise plan that Maude had planned for herself.
At that time, the two of them could not understand what Maud did.
