Chapter 27
The gunpowder smoke is diffuse, pungent and conspicuous.
The pirates in the tavern have been with the gun smoke knife light for many years, turning a blind eye to the diffuse gun smoke.
Eyes passed through the smoke and fixed on Maud's body.
Surprise, surprise, astonishment.
It happened suddenly just now, and when they reacted, the two pirates who were obviously here to seek revenge were already shot in the eyebrows, and turned into corpses lying on the ground.
Although the two pirates broke in, they raised their guns with a clear target and pulled the trigger without delay.
But the mortician in the mask was faster than them.
And they are still bowing left and right, sending two lead bullets into their brows almost at the same time.
Simply fast, ruthless, accurate!
The few pirates sitting near the gate couldn't help but glanced at the two companions who couldn't rest.
The reason why he chose to seek revenge at this time and place is mostly because he followed Lafayette, and then wanted to use them to form an obstacle or shield that could escape in time.
It's just that these two pirates never dreamed that there was a ruthless man waiting for them at the table where Lafayette sat.
"It happened when I was about to withdraw..."
Under the eyes of everyone in the tavern, Maud sighed in his heart, and calmly put the flintlock pistol, which still had a warm muzzle, under the table.
He didn't leave in a hurry, but reloaded the flintlock pistol as soon as possible.
Although the efficiency of blind filling is very poor, it is stable and in place.
Until now, Maud had roughly guessed that the two pirates were coming for Lafayette, otherwise how could they have followed Lafayette shortly after he came in.
It's just that Lafayette is so immortal at the table with him that he is also exposed at gunpoint.
In that case, even if he didn't feel the killing intent, how could he just sit still.
It doesn't matter who you are looking for, since you point the gun at your own risk, you will be responsible for the consequences.
So, Maud didn't even think about it and killed the two pirates with a gun.
As a result, it was Maud who killed two enemies for Lafayette, who had made many enemies.
But in fact, Maud only made his move to eliminate the risk.
"Good marksmanship."
The steel pipe's palm at the end of the water pipe loosened slightly, looking at Maud with interest.
His real name is Sabo. He was born in the revolutionary army and has experienced various rigorous trainings, so he is proficient in various skills and abilities.
Gathering intelligence is one of them.
Although I don't use guns very often, marksmanship is one of them.
Just now he noticed that Maud was also collecting intelligence. In addition to being curious about Maud's identity, he tended to speculate that Maud might be the Navy.
And now, seeing Maud at close range is obviously a systematically trained marksmanship, and the speculation that Maud may be a navy is a step further.
Maud ignored Sabo's praise, bowed his head slightly, and concentrated on blindly reloading ammunition.
Seeing Maud's previous silence, Sabo smiled and didn't mind.
Although there are different camps, he will never use this to judge a person's good and evil, nor will he hate a person for no reason because of different camps.
The values he holds are relatively free and not bound by old and stubborn ideas.
Lafayette, who was at the same table, gave Maud one more look.
Lafayette knew very well that the two unlucky bastards were coming at him just now. After all, the tit-for-tat killing intent was so obvious that it was enough to hang a red light on his body.
But what surprised him was that the man next to him who should have stayed out of the matter would be so decisive.
He naturally wouldn't think that Maud's shot was helping him, and he could see the reason for Maud's decisive shot.
"Ah."
And this is precisely what he appreciates.
Lafayette's eyes flicked over all the details of Maud outside the mask.
Eyes, lips, ears, neck.
After taking a deep note, he withdrew his gaze and motioned for the waiter to come over.
The staff of the tavern also recovered at this time, and immediately moved the body outside and cleaned up the blood that had not yet spread on the ground.
At the same time, when the manpower was tight, a person was sent to notify the undertaker to come and collect the body.
As for the mortician in the store who killed the accident in time, they only bothered when their heads twitched.
The storm gradually subsided, and the surrounding pirates also withdrew their attention to Maud one by one.
At this time, Maud finally loaded the ammunition of the two flintlock pistols.
He lacks practical experience in loading ammunition, so nothing about blind filling, the efficiency is really hard to say.
Putting away the flintlock pistol filled with ammunition, Maud got up, prepared to leave the place of right and wrong, and then squatted in a random place outside to guard the few prey he was eyeing.
"Are you going?"
Despite being ignored by Maud many times, Sabo still took the initiative to talk like he was familiar.
Maud glanced at the wide-lens sunshade on Sabo's face, but chose to ignore it, and then walked straight to the door.
Lafayette squinted at Maud's figure, his eyes were like scanners, and he scanned Maud's back from head to toe.
The pirates around couldn't help but glance at Maud.
Until Maud left, when the door was closed again, the tavern was lively again.
Out of the tavern, Maud looked at the surroundings of the tavern, trying to find a shadow to hide.
In such a place where buildings are of different heights and dense, as long as there is light, there will inevitably be shadows.
Soon, Maud found a suitable temporary hiding place.
He strode through the crowds of people in the street, and slipped silently into the shadows of his hiding place.
Then, across the street, he silently stared at the door of the pub.
As long as the prey he is targeting walks out of the door of the tavern, he will follow him, looking for hunting opportunities.
As for the name, there is no need to ask at all, as long as you find the bounty order that they bring with them as bragging capital.
Time passed minute by minute, and there were less than ten minutes left before the auction started.
Maud's focus isn't on auctions, though.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Maud saw two familiar figures.
"It's Kidd and the others."
Hiding his body in the shadows, Maud looked at Kidkilla and the two who were heading for the auction, and subconsciously touched [Usopp] behind him.
"If you have a chance tonight, maybe you can try it."
Maud slowly retracted his gaze, and a cold glow flashed in his eyes.
Whether it's worth the risk or not depends on the situation.
Now, let's keep an eye on those prey first.
If he was run away, then he would have come in vain tonight.
Maud silently watched the tavern door.
After a while, the hour hand moved to nine o'clock, and the auction house began to close the entrance channel.
Maud looked from a distance and found that many people with the same style of clothing appeared around the auction house, standing guard like guards.
It should be the armed team from the auction house.
Maud thought to himself.
Then, stop paying attention to the auction house.
An hour passed.
The door of the tavern was pushed open, and three men with drunken faces walked out.
After seeing the three men, Maud, who had been squatting for more than an hour, lit up.
"It's finally out."
Maud quietly followed.
At this time, the auction is in full swing.
