Chapter 420 Turbulent situation
"When exactly did it start..."
"Oh, right."
"That's when the man named Baka D. Maud first made the headlines."
"His appearance brought chaos, and the whole sea began to become turbulent."
"Well, it would be nice if the pirates could disappear."
In the choking smoke, an old man with a pipe in his mouth was shaking his head with emotion.
"If only the pirates could disappear..."
The neighbors who prayed for the world's stability, involuntarily recited in their hearts what the old man had just said.
But this is just a wishful thinking.
Since the beginning of the era of the great pirates, vicious pirates have emerged one after another.
How can it be prevented?
"Boom blah blah..."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew open the hidden wooden window and slapped against the wall, making an annoying sound.
The white smoke that filled the house was swept into a vortex by the sudden summer wind, and even the newspapers on the table flew into the air.
Looking through the white smoke, one could vaguely see the names that affect the nerves of the world.
The wave hanging over the world will eventually overturn.
........
"It's over."
Luo came to the mast boat and told Maud, who was basking in the sun, good news.
The mission of the Revolutionary Army to resettle the stricken islanders has been completed, meaning they can leave.
When Maud heard the words, he straightened his upper body and looked at Luo who was standing beside him.
From Luo's face, he saw exhaustion.
I think that during this period of time, Luo should have been overloading the ability to use the fruit of surgery.
Tired is a little tired,
But it's still a workout.
"Luo, you've worked hard for this time."
Maud handed Luo a cup of iced black tea on the table and smiled: "I haven't touched it."
Taking the black tea from Maud's hand, Luo drank it while calculating in his heart how many days it would take to return to the Terror Barque.
After about an hour.
The members of the Revolutionary Army who said goodbye to the islanders returned to the mast ship with sufficient sailing supplies.
Without any dawdling behavior, after boarding the ship, it is sailing.
ashore.
The islanders lined up, waving and watching the mast boats go away.
The islanders remained in place until the mast boat disappeared at the end of the horizon.
Mast ships flying the flag of the Revolutionary Army sailed through the waves.
Betty led a group of members of the revolutionary army to the front of Maud and Luo, and sincerely thanked them.
In the face of their sincere thanks, Maud and Luo seemed to be printed out of a mold, and there was not much reaction.
During this period of time, Betty had a general understanding of the characters of these two men, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but secretly told her colleagues that they should not neglect Maud and Luo.
In fact, even if Betty didn't explain it, the hundred or so members of the Revolutionary Army on the ship were about to worship Maud as a god, so how could they be neglected.
The mast boat sails smoothly.
On the way, we inevitably encountered dangerous weather, but it was all near misses.
In the end, it took eight days to finally reach the Terrifying Three-masted Ship.
After finally arriving at the destination, Betty said goodbye in a hurry and rushed to the next mission location without stopping.
The current revolutionary army is like a huge machine running at high speed, too busy to stop at all.
This made Maud start to worry, shouldn't Sunny also work at a high load all day long?
he does not know.
However, he has a competent model worker on board.
From the moment he arrived at the Terrifying Barque, this model worker rushed into the research room and started every day of unpretentious research.
Looking at it, Jia Ya thoughtfully prepared a hot soup for the model worker in the research room, and warned the model worker not to work too hard.
But Luo, who had already decided to complete the chimera research in the shortest possible time, would listen to Jaya's warning and plunge into the research after drinking the hot soup.
Back on the Horror Barque, Maud enjoys a lunch carefully prepared by Jaya.
To say that the most uncomfortable thing to stay in Penggu Island is the problem of eating.
I am used to the food that Jaya cooks, and eating those ordinary food is a little hard to swallow.
After lunch, Maud plans to go to Dressrosa to see the progress of the reconstruction.
As soon as he arrived in Dressrosa, Maud was a little surprised to see Violet who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
But thinking of Violet's ability, he was relieved.
"Lord Maud, you are back."
Violet was wearing a fiery red close-fitting dress, which perfectly highlighted her plump figure.
She hurried towards Maud with a smile on her pretty face.
"Well, take me anywhere."
Maud nodded at her.
"OK."
Violet's smile grew brighter as he led Maud around aimlessly in the reconstructed Dressrosa.
The town that was burnt and destroyed by countless pirates a month ago is now completely new.
"This is everyone's credit..."
Facing Maud's astonishment, Violet slowly explained the rebuilding process over the past month.
It seems that in order to perfectly achieve the instructions left by Maud before he left, Lafayette and Tezzolo suddenly began to compete, and they did not even sleep, and participated in the construction 24 hours a day without stopping.
The crazy actions of the two of them even took away the original workload of many people.
In just a day or two, the rivalry between Lafayette and Tezolo attracted the attention and onlookers of many people, all of whom were dumbfounded.
Aokiji was worried that there was no reason to be lazy. Seeing that Lafayette and Tezzolo were so diligent, they thoughtfully handed over the work at hand to the two of them, and then ran to sleep.
But it was finally discovered by Jaya.
In desperation, Qingzhi could only set up a booth in the construction area dedicated to selling summer-relieving ice products.
This is Jaya's request.
Or rather, coercion.
Thanks to the rivalry between Lafayette and Tezzolo, and thanks to Aokiji's endless supply of summer-relieving ice products, the construction of Dressrosa was successfully completed so quickly.
Listening to Violet's elaboration with a smile on his face, Maud raised his hand and rubbed his brows, just imagining the scene of Aokiji sitting in the booth selling ice products...
Maud smiled and shook his head.
All I can say is, it's a pirate.
Later, Maud carefully observed the revitalized Dressrosa city.
There are green plants on both sides of the street, pedestrians come and go on the road, and the fragrance that seems to be absent comes from the shops with eye-catching decoration.
It's hard to imagine that this place was scorched a month ago.
"It's time to find a suitable site."
Looking at the reborn Dressrosa city, Maud thought silently in his heart.
The first puzzle piece of the Sky City plan already exists, but only by finding a suitable site can the first piece of the puzzle be put together.
After visiting the town of Dressrosa, Maud and Violet went to the Dontata settlement.
As soon as they arrived at the Dontata settlement, Maud and Violet saw a very conspicuous statue.
That is his statue.
Seeing his statue being placed in such a conspicuous place, Maud felt strange beyond words.
Violet covered his mouth and chuckled while praising the statue's expressiveness.
Her praise made the little people next to them straighten their chests subconsciously and smiled.
"Take me to see Princess Mansherry."
Maud just wanted to get out of the place with the statue quickly.
The villain members immediately led Maud to meet Princess Mansherry.
Man Shirley was very happy about Maud's arrival and invited Maud to stay for dinner together at night.
Maud was very straightforward at the invitation of Man Shirley.
that night.
The banquet was filled with laughter.
The only downside is that the wine is not drunk enough.
As the night got darker, the banquet finally came to an end.
With Mansherry's reluctant farewell, Maud and Violet left the Dontata settlement.
Until he left, Maud still failed to mention the [Resurrection Sol] thing to Man Shirley.
He was thinking that if he could successfully obtain the pure gold mentioned by Tezzolo in the past two years, he would come to discuss the matter with Man Shirley.
"Lord Maud, why don't you rest in the palace tonight."
Violet suggested softly.
The night sky is cloudless and the stars are shining.
There was a pleasant coolness in the evening wind blowing from afar.
"No, you go back first, Violet."
Maud shook his head and rejected Violet's proposal.
"Okay, Lord Maud."
Hearing this, Violet obeyed Maud's words, turned and left, heading towards the palace.
Maud watched Violet go.
It wasn't until Violet was nowhere to be seen that he retracted his gaze and looked up at the starry sky.
The dazzling silver luster was reflected in his eyes.
After a while.
He raised his arm and looked at the watch phone bug.
After hesitating for a while, he still dialed the phone bug's number.
after a few seconds.
The call is connected.
"what!"
On the other end of the phone bug, there was Sunny's scream, as if she was surprised that Maud would take the initiative to call her.
Maud looked down at the watch phone bug and suddenly forgot his motive for making the call.
Maybe it was that day a month ago, when I felt the strangeness of Sunny's performance.
It is also possible that during the day, she saw Betty rushing to the next task location non-stop, thus worrying about Sunny's usual workload.
"Have you eaten?"
Maud, who didn't know what to say for a while, could only ask.
The phone worm was silent for a while, probably looking at the clock that was about to point to zero.
After about a second or two, Sonny's voice came.
"ate."
"what did you eat?"
“Seafood Chowder.”
"Is it tasty?"
"The taste is okay, just a little sweet."
"Oh, what are you doing?"
"Organize information."
"Okay, it's late, rest early."
"Um."
Following a nutritious conversation, a burst of laughter broke in.
Maud barely made out that it was Kerla's laughter, and vaguely heard Kerla saying things like "How can you talk like this".
"Sonny, you should be busy first."
Maud decisively hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone bug with his eyes closed, Maud suddenly realized that since Sunny joined the Revolutionary Army, he rarely called Sunny on his own initiative.
It's as if he's just been waiting for a call from Sonny who needs his help, and then thinks to himself that it's caring.
It's not like family care.
Maud watched the phone bug silently.
before.
Although he knew that joining the Revolutionary Army was a risky and thankless thing, he let Sunny follow his own wishes, and never thought to stop or persuade Sunny.
Now.
He suddenly kind of wanted Sonny to get out of the Revolutionary Army and stay with them on the Horror Barque.
At least it won't be too tiring, and I will be very happy to taste Sister Ya's cooking every day.
only……
"Would it be better?"
Maud asked in a low voice.
not good.
This question itself has an answer.
He has always been aware of Sunny's dream, and he has always been aware of Sunny's determination and dedication to that dream.
What he should do is not to persuade Sunny to leave the revolutionary army, but to help Sunny to fulfill her dream.
Abolish slavery...
That means overthrowing world governments that acquiesce to the existence of slavery.
"Blubulu..."
After a while, the phone bug rang suddenly, interrupting Maud's thoughts.
Maud came to his senses and answered the phone.
"Why did you suddenly call, is there anything important?"
On the other side of the phone bug, Sunny's slightly tired voice came.
"No, just thinking... Can I help you now?"
Facing the evening breeze, Maud smiled at the watch phone bug.
"Yes, chat with me."
Sonny's voice became cheerful, hiding her exhaustion.
"it is good."
Maud nodded.
"Listen to Betty, you helped the islanders of Penggu Island to build a very distinctive house. It looked colorful and looked like a poisonous mushroom. Unfortunately, Betty and Tata Mu's painters are not very good, otherwise they will let They drew it for me to see."
"Sunny, talk about something else."
Maud thought of the mushroom house that Luo had mocked for a week that he built by himself, intending to end the topic.
"No, just talk about this."
On the other end of the phone bug, Sunny's tone was full of smiles.
On the empty plain, in addition to the sound of the evening wind, there is also the laughter of girls.
......
the next day.
Maud woke up, washed briefly, and was about to leave the room.
As a result, just after opening the door, I happened to see Bailey who had not returned overnight.
At this time, Bailey looked resentful.
"What's wrong?"
Maud asked with concern.
Bailey raised his fat face and complained: "Wo already knows."
"what do you know?"
Maud looked at Bailey strangely.
"Boss, you went to eat alone yesterday and didn't call the nest!"
"???"
Maud thought to himself that you, a foodie, had been in the kitchen all day before eating alone.
pat-
Maud chose to close the door and take the balcony road to the restaurant.
The following week.
The horror barque has been hovering over an airspace.
The Straw Hats work hard day and night.
Luo Chengtian stayed in the research room and hadn't seen him come out for a long time.
Days passed, very peaceful.
During this period, the daily newspapers can also be stopped, so that Maud and others can understand the current news.
In the past month, even if there is no trace of the Maud Pirates, there have been frequent big incidents.
Among them, the most active person is Barrett, the successor of the evil spirit.
It can be said that almost all of the headline reports in the past month have been occupied by Barrett, and there are signs that he is about to replace the title of Maud.
Maud didn't care much about this.
On the contrary, it was the guy Cavendish, who held a newspaper and leaned beside him all day, and then described his disappointment in a tone of hatred.
The translation is--Maud, hurry up and make the headlines.
Maud ignored Cavendish's entanglement and kept an eye on Barrett's news.
This man, who was once a member of the Roger Pirates, is now like him, and has become a headache for the whole world.
Maud did nothing in the short term, just kept an eye on the world situation.
After a while.
Maud receives a call from Yamato.
