The others followed suit and threw the stunned Yuting fans to the ground.
It was Cavendish who kept muttering something beside him.
It seems to be saying that this kind of task [outside the spotlight] is not what a [big star] like him should do.
However, no one talked to him who kept talking.
Maude glanced at the members of the imperial court who were caught by Lafayette and the others.
Mod was quite surprised by the decisive action of these guys abandoning the big snake just now.
"Kill him."
Without thinking much, Maude lightly sentenced the Imperial Court fans to death.
Cutting off the roots without leaving any threats is his consistent style.
After hearing Maude's order, Lafayette drew out his staff and sword without hesitation and killed the Imperial Court followers they had brought over.
At this moment, Jia Ya fell from the air and looked at the Nine Red Scabbard Heroes with squinted eyes.
With a slight movement of thought, the many swords, guns, swords and axes stuck on the ground flew upwards, once again hanging in the sky.
The Nine Red Sheath Heroes looked at Jia Ya with fear in their eyes.
This ability to control islands and hundreds of thousands of blades from a distance puts pressure on them all the time.
Mod nodded towards Jaya who landed on the ground.
Then he ignored the presence of the Nine Red Scabbard Heroes and asked his companions to clean up the battlefield and collect the wealth left by Orochi.
And he called Lai Luo as usual.
Rather than receiving the spoils of war, it was more important to take out the phantom beast species from the big snake's body first.
"A fantasy beast in the hands of a guy like this is worse than an ordinary animal..."
In the house on one side of the street, Luo looked at the unconscious big snake.
No bragging, no blackmail.
Orochi is the weakest esper Luo has ever seen.
"really."
Maude nodded in agreement. He and Luo had basically the same idea.
"Let's get started, take out this rare phantom beast species."
"Um."
Luo responded and raised his hand to open the field.
Following a familiar process, the phantom beast devil fruit lodged in the big snake was quickly removed.
This is a light green fruit, covered with layers of snake scale-like patterns, which looks particularly rare.
Mod took the newly baked devil fruit from Luo's hand and whispered to himself: "Baqi... Speaking of which, Wano Country is indeed very similar to Japan..."
In the middle of her words, Maud stopped consciously.
"Maude, what were you talking about just now?"
Luo heard some unfamiliar terms and looked at Maude with curiosity and confusion.
"nothing."
Maude shook her head slightly and said something casually.
Seeing that Maude didn't want to say anything more, Luo didn't go into details. He was not the type to stalk.
Mod calmed down the tumbling memories in his mind, and with a thought, waves of shadows appeared in his palms, and the Yamata no Orochi fruit was rolled into the shadow box.
This is a rare species of phantom beast. How to deal with it later needs to be carefully considered.
"21 pills..."
Maude thought to herself.
Counting the newly acquired Yamata no Orochi phantom beast species, the number of devil fruits in the shadow box reached an astonishing 21.
A great collector of Devil Fruits, truly worthy of his name.
"When Luo's 'chimera' research is successful, these devil fruits should be consumed in a short time."
Maude stared at the shadow wave on her palm, envisioning what might happen in the future.
After a while.
The shadow wave disappears.
Maude put away her hand and looked at Luo beside her.
"Throw this body to the Nine Red Scabbard Heroes."
"good."
Luo heard this and dragged the snake's body towards the outside of the house.
Following Mod's order, Luo threw the big snake's body in front of the Nine Red Scabbards.
The Nine Red Scabbard Heroes looked at the corpse of the big snake with complicated emotions.
Tens of minutes later.
In a mansion, Yamato looked excited.
"Mod, without your help, we wouldn't be able to defeat Kaido!"
Yamato put his hands on the table, ignoring the spring scenery in front of him, leaning over and staring closely at Maud behind the table.
Mod looked at Yamato and said calmly: "I have no obligation to help those samurai."
Originally, in order to repay his kindness, Mod took the risk to stay and help Yamato deal with Kaido. Or maybe it was not impossible.
But the behavior of the Red Scabbard Nine before they drew their swords without even thinking about it directly ruined Mod's perception of them.
This also caused Maud to change his mind.
Anyway, it is impossible for him to risk helping these warriors now.
"But I really need your help, Maud...!!!"
Seeing Maud's resolute attitude, Yamato suddenly became anxious, and his tone of voice gradually became pleading.
She was very sure and certain.
As long as Mod can agree to stay and deal with Kaido, then this battle against Kaido will be 100% successful.
On the other hand, if Maud is unwilling to help.
Those who stick to Wano Country will definitely be ruthlessly defeated by Kaido, thus completely losing the chance to take back Wano Country.
Maud could understand Yamato's current mood.
However, he has already made the decision not to help the samurai, so no matter how much Yamato begs, he will not stay to fight for Wano.
"Yamato."
In private conversations, Moder no longer called Yamato by the name Oden, but called Yamato by his real name.
"I will deal with Kaido, but not now..."
“…”
Yamato was startled when he heard this.
Mod looked at Yamato and said seriously: "I can promise you... it won't take long before I will make the Beast Pirates disappear completely, so you don't need to be so anxious."
“But now is a great opportunity that cannot be missed!”
Yamato believed in the assurances given by Maud.
but-
Onigashima was uprooted by Mod, the Beast Pirates suffered unprecedented heavy losses, and Orochi, who was colluding with Kaido, also fell.
In such a situation, it is natural to pursue the victory and destroy the Beast Pirates in one go.
"Chance?"
Maud sighed softly and said, "Have you forgotten what I said before?"
“…”
Yamato's expression condensed and he said solemnly: "With the temperament of that Minotaur, I don't think he will bring 'outsiders' back to Wano Country to deal with you. He will only want to kill you with his own hands."
"You know Kaido, so I think your 'think' is okay, but you underestimated your determination to kill me."
Maude clasped her hands on her chin, her eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water, as if she had never seen Yamato's exposed white scenery from beginning to end.
"How about I put it another way? Even if Kaido wants to kill me with his own hands, those who also want to kill me with his own hands will definitely come to Wano Country regardless of Kaido's obstruction, so there will be no consequences. Change."
“…”
Yamato couldn't help but remain silent when he heard this.
Mod looked at the silent Yamato and said: "Maybe you think I am the only hope that can help you defeat Kaido. Originally I didn't mind staying, but unfortunately... the group of samurai outside were buried with my own hands. Your hope.”
"Maud..."
Yamato had a sad face and hesitated to speak.
She actually also knew the fundamental reason why Maude refused to stay. It was the actions of Kinemon and the others that offended Maude.
But after all, neither party really took action.
So she thinks this is a remediable problem.
But she still underestimated Maud's attitude.
"Yamato."
Maud put down his hand, stood up and looked down at Yamato with a grimace.
"I also said, you really don't need to be so anxious. Give me some time and I will deal with the Beast Pirates."
"I can wait...but Kinemon and the others..."
Yamato raised his head slightly and looked at Maude with wide eyes.
"If you insist on doing this for the sake of those warriors, then I respect your decision."
Maude shook her head slightly.
After all, Yamato's so-called inheritance is so crazy that he wants to become Kozuki Oden himself.
Maud could imagine—
Yamato's identity, position, and even his soul must be replaced by Kozuki Oden's, and he will only think wholeheartedly about the group of samurai outside and the troubled country of Wano.
Then I'm sorry.
Kozuki Oden
Not familiar.
Maude thought silently.
Unable to get help from Mord, Yamato lowered his head, unable to hide his disappointment.
Maud quietly stared at Yamato who was so close.
Although they didn't get along for a long time, Maude always felt that this woman was a natural contradiction.
"Yamato."
Maude said suddenly.
"Um?"
Yamato suddenly raised his head and looked at Maud, as if a shooting star flashed in his eyes.
For a moment she fancied Maud had changed her mind.
"I'll keep half of the weapons and money."
Mod's words immediately shattered Yamato's illusions.
