Chapter 5 Before the War
The Straw Hats went straight to the rain banquet.
The purpose is self-evident.
Most of the time, he wanted to beat the culprit, Crocodile, to the ground.
But this is obviously not realistic.
However, with Luffy's blood-locked halo, there shouldn't be any changes.
Maud thought to himself, and immediately sat down, ignoring the gazes of Smog and Dusky.
Bailey wasn't in a hurry to eat at this meeting, but looked at Smog and Dusky with a thief.
Under Perona's whisper, Bailey jumped off the table and came to Smoke and Dusky.
Then,
Bailey crooked his mouth.
Smog and Dusky immediately became vigilant upon seeing this.
Bailey didn't care so much, he started directly, and Ma Li found all the money from Smoke and Dusky.
"..." Smoker.
"..." Dusky.
"hey-hey."
Holding the money found, Bailey smiled at the two wounded and ran back to his seat.
Seeing Bailey running away, there were several blue veins on Smog's forehead, and he felt like he was being bullied by a dog.
Dusky lowered his head, extremely frustrated.
First, he was crushed by Maud, and then treated by the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates. He was also robbed of all the money by a skunk.
Such a terrible experience.
After getting the [treatment money] from Smoke and Dusky, Bailey waved his hand and ordered all the dishes in the restaurant.
Smog's eyes were difficult to take away from Bailey, and he turned to look at Maud, and asked in a deep voice, "Bacardi Maud, what is your purpose in coming to Alabasta?"
Similar problem again...
Maud glanced at Smoker, but Kwon didn't hear it, and instead picked up a cranberry pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing this, Smog frowned, and when he wanted to say something, a shadow snake silently climbed onto him and tightly blocked his mouth.
Da Siqi, who was beside him, was not spared either. While bound by a shadow snake, his mouth was also gagged.
Afterwards, it took Maud more than two hours to finish this luxurious lunch in front of Smoke and Dusky.
After eating and drinking, Maud got up and prepared to leave.
He had to go to a rainy banquet and take the information that Robin had prepared.
"Boss, don't look for it."
When checking out, Bailey slapped all the money from Smoker and Dusky on the counter, looking quite arrogant.
The boss carefully glanced at Smog, whose face was terrifyingly dark, and struggled for a moment before finally accepting the money.
After paying the bill, Maud led Perona and Bailey out of the restaurant.
From beginning to end, Smog and Dusky never looked at him again.
After walking dozens of meters away from the restaurant, the Shadow Snake quietly returned to its body.
I just don't know how Smoog will react when he regains his freedom.
After a few minutes.
Maud came to the rain banquet, first left Perona and Bailey in the casino lobby, and then went to the room where Robin put the information alone.
Entering the room, it was empty.
Maud took out a stack of intelligence materials with clear photos from the agreed table cabinet.
He took out one of the pages and glanced at it roughly.
The content on paper was indeed as he requested, only gathering intelligence about abilities and names.
In this way, it is much more convenient.
Maud nodded with satisfaction, and looked around with his knowledge.
After confirming that no one was there, Maud called out the notes and recorded the information of these capable people into the notes one by one.
"Although the comprehensive strength of these senior agents is not strong, but... they are all capable people, and they should bring a lot of benefits."
Maud flipped the palm of his hand, and the hunter's note turned into a faint spot of light and disappeared in mid-air.
In my memory, except for a few of these Devil Fruit capable users in the Baroque Works, the rest were somewhat funny about the development direction of Devil Fruit.
Say so,
But aside from the [direction] that is not right, these people have not eaten the Devil Fruit for a short time, and their proficiency will naturally not be too low.
In other words, under the premise that the amount of intelligence reaches the standard conditions, killing them should be able to get a lot of experience in Devil Fruits.
As for the benefits of swordsmanship and domineering, they basically don't get the slightest bit, and they will also offset part of the benefits of demons and physique.
This is one of the disadvantages that cannot be avoided in the middle and late stages of Hunter's Note.
Maud destroyed the paper that recorded the information, and immediately left the room. Instead of meeting Perona for the first time, he explored the rain banquet.
There was no sign of the Straw Hats.
And Crocodile and Robin weren't in the Rain Feast either.
"Are you going to start? Crocodile's 'Torrent' plan."
"And... the original historical text related to Hades."
Maud's eyes flashed.
After a while,
He went back to the casino and found Perona and Bailey.
Then,
He saw Bailey lying on the floor, so negative that he wanted to die on the spot.
"What's wrong?"
Maud wondered.
Perona pouted, "This idiot lost his red eyes."
Maud understood in seconds, and glanced silently at Bailey, who wanted to be a mayfly in the next life.
"Go, go to Albana."
After three hours of delay, it was time to go to Albana.
Before leaving, Maud glanced at the resplendent casino lobby.
Crocodile is not here, it is a perfect opportunity to exercise the function of a pirate.
But Moder pays more attention to the improvement of strength, so he can only miss this big piece of meat.
After a while,
The two left the casino together.
Bailey turned into a land vehicle again, carrying Maud and Perona towards Albana.
The chariot drove at high speed in the desert for two hours, crossing a Hai River on the way.
According to the current speed of travel, it will take about two hours to reach Albana.
Due to the lack of intelligence, Maude does not know what is going on in Albana.
I don't know if the war has already started.
Has the Straw Hat Pirates officially confronted the Baroque Society?
Anyway, in the style of the Straw Hat Pirates, even if they narrowly beat the enemy in a deadly battle, they can still make the enemy survive in the end.
In this way, Maud is not worried that the head will be robbed.
Continue on from the other side of the Hai River.
more than an hour later.
Maud saw an unexpected group of people on the dunes ahead.
It turned out to be the Straw Hats.
But there was no sign of Luffy.
Hearing the movement of the Bailey brand chariot driving in the desert, the highly vigilant Straw Hats looked over at the first time.
"Eh!"
After seeing the familiar chariot, they rushed to Albana in a hurry, as if they saw a ray of precious dawn in the dark night, and they suddenly showed a surprise color.
"It's Maud..."
five minutes later.
After connecting Nami and the others to the car, the Bailey chariot continued to drive.
"In other words, in order to hold back Crocodile, Luffy chose to stay behind?"
Listening to Nami's explanation, Maud was a little surprised.
"Um."
On the chariot, everyone looked worried.
Even Zoro, a tough guy, can only divert his attention by rolling iron.
Maud pondered and deduced: "The direction of travel is the same, but when we set off from the rainy banquet, we didn't hear anything, and we didn't encounter Luffy, which means... the battle is most likely over."
"..."
Everyone's hearts were condensed.
"Luffy is so strong, he'll be fine."
Usopp comforted everyone at the right time.
Although the effect was minimal, everyone could only choose to believe in Luffy.
Maud did not prod them any further.
In that desert terrain, with Crocodile's rustling fruit ability, if Luffy didn't trigger the blood-locking halo, it was really possible to stop there.
"Maud, what did you go to Albana for..."
Wei Wei stared at Maud's profile and asked with courage.
Maud greeted Weiwei's gaze and said calmly, "No comment."
"..."
Weiwei was stunned for a moment.
An idea suddenly appeared in her heart, and she subconsciously looked around her companions.
Now is the most difficult time for the country, if Maud is willing to help them...
Not only Weiwei, but others also thought of this.
But in terms of standpoint, if you want to ask Maud for help, it can only be done by Weiwei herself.
However, as far as relationships are concerned, Usopp is the most suitable to speak.
Usopp responded quickly and spoke immediately.
"Master, can you..."
"Sorry, I am also Qiwuhai. According to the rules, I can't have bad relations with Crocodile, who is also Qiwuhai."
Maud knew what Usopp wanted to say, so he interrupted Usopp first.
At the same time, I silently added a sentence in my heart: Of course, it is not possible on the surface, but it is not impossible in the dark.
"..."
Everyone could not help but be silent when they heard the words, and it was hard to hide their disappointment.
"but……"
Maud looked at the crowd and said, "I can assure you that this country...will be fine."
Although it is empty words, the person who said this is Maud.
For no reason, like a cardiotonic, it made the faces of Wei Wei and others glow with a ray of brilliance.
