I just don’t know why, but there is a subtle feeling of emptiness in my heart.
"When did we become your subordinates!!!"
At this moment, Luffy's loud voice came into the hall from outside.
Hearing that voice, the corners of Bonnie's eyes twitched a few times, and everyone else present looked at Maud, with smiles on their brows.
What they saw was a helpless Maud.
Bang!
The halls were pushed aside.
Luffy rushed into the hall in a hurry and locked eyes with Mord at the first sight.
Everyone turned and looked at Luffy.
That's when they noticed that Luffy was holding two different newspapers.
Luffy didn't pay attention to their gazes, and strode up to Mord with an aura of launching an army to accuse him.
“What’s going on with this newspaper!!!”
Luffy raised the newspaper in his right hand and looked at Maud with wide eyes like Bonnie before.
"Show me another newspaper."
Mod did not answer Luffy's question, but asked for another newspaper that looked more brand-new to read.
"Oh, here you go."
After hearing this, Luffy obediently handed another newspaper to Mod.
Maude took the newspaper and read it.
This was a newly published newspaper, handled by someone other than Morgans's news agency.
I don’t know how Luffy got this newspaper.
Maud glanced at the content of the report and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Barrett attacked all nations?"
"Both sides suffer?!"
After seeing the content of the report, Maude was very surprised.
Luffy also came to his senses and shouted from the side.
It's just that Mod's mind was on this report at the moment, and he didn't pay attention to Luffy's reaction.
Chapter 446: An opportunity to take advantage of
On this world stage where countless eyes are gathered, there are many reporters who are keen on reporting various shocking events, but there are only a handful of world-class newspapers that are familiar with them.
In this world where information is not very developed, newspapers are a necessary way to disseminate current news, and they are also a weapon called public opinion.
At present, there are only a handful of world-class newspapers. Except for Morgans' mobile newspaper, the reason why other newspapers can stand depends entirely on the tacit approval of the World Government.
Under this premise, be it Morgans' mobile newspaper or other world-class newspapers.
Although they often exaggerate when publishing reports, they can at least ensure the authenticity of the reported content.
This is one of the fundamental reasons why newspapers can survive and stand.
The newspaper that published the headline "Barrett and the Pirates are both in trouble" would basically not lie about such explosive news.
Therefore, the credibility of this headline is very high.
"The successor of the evil ghost, Douglas Barrett..."
Maud's eyes showed a look of thought, and she silently recited this man's name in her heart.
Sol's death is inseparable from this guy.
Therefore, Moder must kill Barrett with his own hands no matter what, to avenge Thor.
After making this decision, Maude had previously entrusted Sabo to collect all information about Barrett.
Whether it's the past information or the current information...
Maud wants it.
Because of his entrustment, some of the intelligence channels operated by the Revolutionary Army were always serving him.
Every once in a while, the Revolutionary Army's intelligence department would fax Barrett's recent information.
Because of this intelligence support, while Mod was always aware of Barrett's movements, he also had a general idea of what Barrett did after escaping from Impel Down City.
"You should be given the title of World Destroyer."
This was Mod's sincere emotion about what Barrett had done after receiving the information provided by the Revolutionary Army.
According to the information he knows.
After Barrett escaped from the impel city, he was like an unstoppable wild beast, destroying wherever he went.
Whether it is a naval branch with garrisoned troops, a country with a strong military, or a lawless land populated by pirates and the illegal industries of the dark underground kings, they have all been destroyed by Barrett.
In recent years, countless people have died at the hands of Barrett.
To others, this unreasonable man seemed to be frantically seeking a fight.
Because of his crazy actions, countless people became victims of the law of the jungle.
But in Mod's view, Barrett's erratic and crazy destructive actions may not be to satisfy his own desire for destruction, but more like... filling the gap in the battle for twenty years.
Now, this man who has destroyed countless things along the way and is no different from a madman in the eyes of the world has finally made an even crazier move.
it turns out-
Attack Charlotte Lingling's kingdoms alone!
That was the country of the Yonko Pirates, and it was also a country that unified thirty islands.
How can it be an existence that can be shaken by just one person
And Barrett obviously paid the price for his crazy behavior.
only…
If both sides really suffer losses, it is hard for Mod to imagine that Barrett can escape from that situation.
After all, a dragnet-like cordon has been set up within the borders of the nations. No matter whether they are attacking or retreating, it is impossible to escape the pirate group's eyes.
Unless Barrett has a strategic ability similar to [Fluttering Fruit], it is basically impossible to escape from the pirate group under the premise of being seriously injured.
Maybe there is something hidden in it.
"We will wait until the Revolutionary Army confirms the authenticity of this information before deciding whether to take advantage of the situation..."
Maud thought silently.
The pirates and Barrett are both his targets.
But now that something like this happened, it was a good time to take action.
"Maud!!!"
Luffy's loud voice rang in Mod's ears.
Mod was stunned for a moment and looked at Luffy who had come to his side at some point.
"Maud, I'm talking to you, don't you hear me!!!"
Luffy looked at Mod with wide eyes and raised the newspaper in his hand high.
Mod subconsciously glanced at the newspaper in Luffy's hand and explained calmly: "Sorry, I was just thinking about what to have for dinner, and I accidentally got lost in my thoughts."
"So that's it."
Luffy nodded suddenly, and then asked expectantly: "Then have you thought about it?"
When it came to food, the guy forgot about the newspaper.
Maud raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said seriously: "I haven't thought about it yet, but as long as there is more meat, it will be fine."
"Uh-huh!"
Luffy nodded wildly in agreement.
"Luffy, do you want to eat something? I can ask Sister Ya to make it for you."
"Well, as long as it's meat!"
"There are many kinds of meat. Which kind of meat do you like best?"
"I like all of them!"
"That's it..."
With just a few words from Maude, Luffy was immersed in the fantasy of tonight's all-meat feast, completely forgetting the reason why he came to see Maude.
beside.
Lafayette and the others looked at Luffy with a slightly strange look in their eyes.
Bonnie, who originally came to ask questions, looked at Luffy and rubbed her forehead vigorously.
"This 'foodie' is really hopeless."
She said to herself in an incredulous tone.
Bailey heard Bonnie talking to herself and couldn't help but glance at her.
We are also foodies, so why bother to make things difficult for foodies
Bailey thought to himself.
Bonnie was keenly aware of Bailey's gaze. She turned her head and glared at Bailey regardless of what Bailey meant.
Bailey was stunned for a moment, then stared back unceremoniously.
Perona looked at Bonnie and Bailey, who were glaring at each other, and shook her head, seeming to express regret for the IQ of these two guys.
... ... ...
time flies.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the news that both the Pirates and Barrett were harmed has spread to every corner of the world.
For those who are always paying attention to the disappearance of the situation, the recent period has really been a wave of ups and downs.
The Beast Pirates were wiped out by Mod on the front foot, and the conflict between the Pirates and Barrett occurred on the back foot.
The people were shocked and mostly applauded secretly.
For them, it is of course a joy to see pirates fighting to the death.
This is also true for the Navy.
Now that the new world is in chaos, Akainu has some intentions.
Whether it's dealing with the pirates or Barrett, now is an opportunity to attack.
However-
As the World Conference approaches, even if Akainu wants to, he will not be able to spare any manpower for a while.
Chapter 447: Infiltrate or attack by force
Every four years, the World Government convenes a World Conference in the Holy Land of Marie Joa.
The kings of the more than 50 participating countries will basically not miss this meeting, and the top leaders of the world government, as well as the Tianlong people, will also participate in this meeting.
This is a grand event that attracts attention from all over the world.
The World Conference is now approaching. In order to ensure that the conference can proceed smoothly, the Navy Headquarters must send combat forces to escort the kings from various countries who come to participate in the World Conference.
In this way, there will be no spare force to send troops to find trouble with the pirates and Barrett.
If circumstances permit, Akainu actually wants to take advantage of the situation to deal with the pirates and Barrett, rather than sending so many combat forces to escort the kings of various countries.
But his immediate boss, the World Government, will certainly not let this unrealistic idea become a reality.
The world conference, which is held only once every four years, is so important that the world government does not allow any mistakes to occur.
