Chapter Twenty-Seven: Squatting

The smoke is filled, pungent and conspicuous.

The pirates in the tavern have been accompanied by the smoke of gunpowder for many years, and they have been ignoring the smoke that spreads out.

One after another, his gaze passed through the smoke and fixed on Maude's body.

Amazement, surprise, amazement.

By the time they reacted, the two pirates, who had obviously come to seek revenge, had already bounced in their eyebrows, and then turned into corpses lying on the ground.

Although after the two pirates broke in, they raised their guns with a clear goal and no delay to pull the trigger.

However, the masked funeral director was faster than them.

And they opened their bows left and right, sending two buckshot into their eyebrows almost at the same time.

It's just fast, ruthless, and accurate!

A few pirates sitting near the gate couldn't help but glance at the two dead peers, and after reminiscing, they suddenly realized the sinister intentions of these two guys.

The reason why he chose to seek revenge in the here and now is most likely to follow Lafayette, and then want to use them present to form an obstacle or shield that can escape in time.

It's just that the two pirates never dreamed that there was a ruthless person waiting for them at the table where Lafayette was sitting.

"Just when I was about to leave......

Under the gaze of everyone in the tavern, Maud sighed inwardly, and quietly brought the flintlock pistol with a still warm muzzle under the table.

He did not leave in a hurry, but immediately reloaded the flintlock pistol with ammunition.

Although the efficiency of blind filling is very poor, it is calm and in place.

Up to this moment, Maude had roughly guessed that the two pirates were coming for Lafayette, otherwise how could they have followed Lafayette on the back foot not long after he came in.

It's just that Lafayette is not dead at the same table with him, which causes him to be exposed to gunfire as well.

In that case, even if he didn't feel the killing intent, how could he sit still and wait to die.

It doesn't matter who you're looking for, if you point your guns at your own risk.

So, without thinking about it, Maud drew her gun and killed the two pirates.

As a result, it was Maud who killed two enemies on behalf of Lafayette, who had many enemies.

But in fact, Maud only made a move to eliminate the risk.

"Good marksmanship."

The palm of the steel pipe's hand held at the end of the water pipe loosened slightly, and he looked at Maude with interest.

His real name is Saab, he is from the revolutionary army, and he has undergone all kinds of rigorous training, so he is proficient in various skills and abilities.

Intelligence gathering is one of them.

Although guns are not used often, marksmanship is one of them.

Just now, he noticed that Maud was also collecting intelligence, and while he was curious about Maude's identity, he was inclined to speculate that Maude might be the navy.

And now, seeing Mod's obviously systematically trained marksmanship up close, the speculation that Modder might be the Navy is a step further.

Maud ignored Sabo's compliments and bowed her head slightly, concentrating on blindly reloading her ammunition.

Seeing Maude's silence like this, Sabo smiled and didn't mind.

Although there are camps, he has never judged a person's good or evil based on this, and he will not dislike a person for no reason because of different camps.

The values he possesses are relatively liberal and not bound by old and stubborn ideas.

Lafayette, who was at the same table, glanced at Maude more.

Lafayette knew very well that the two unlucky bastards just now were coming for him, after all, the-for-tat killing intent was so obvious that he almost hung 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 and ruthless.

He naturally didn't think that Maude was helping him, and he could see the reason why Maude made a decisive move.

"Huh."

And that's exactly what he appreciates.

Lafayette's gaze swept over all the details of Maude's exposure beyond the mask.

Eyes, lips, ears, neck.

After taking a deep note, he withdrew his gaze and motioned for the waiter to come over.

The tavern staff also came to their senses at this time, and immediately moved the body outside, as well as cleaned up the blood stains on the ground that had not yet spread.

At the same time, in the case of manpower shortage, a person was sent to notify the funeral director to come and collect the body.

As for the funeral director in the store who killed the accident in time, they would only bother when their heads were pumped.

The turmoil gradually subsided, and the surrounding pirates also withdrew their attention to Maude one by one.

By this time, Maud had finally finished reloading the two flintlock pistols.

He lacks practical experience in loading ammunition, so there is nothing about blind filling, and the efficiency is really indescribable.

Putting away the loaded flintlock pistol, Maude got up, prepared to leave the place, and then found a random spot outside to guard the few prey he was targeting.

"You're leaving?"

Despite being ignored by Maud many times, Sabo still took the initiative to talk as if he was familiar with it.

Maude glanced at the wide-lens visor on Sabo's face, but still chose to ignore it, and walked straight for the door.

Lafayette squinted at Maude's figure, his eyes scanning Maude's back from head to toe like a scanner.

The surrounding pirates couldn't help but glance at Maude.

It wasn't until Maud left, and when the door was closed, the tavern was bustling with activity again.

Walking out of the tavern, Maud looked around the tavern, trying to find a shadow to hide.

In such a dense and dense building of varying heights, where there is light, there must be shadow.

Soon, Maud found a suitable temporary hideout.

He strode through the crowd of people in the street, silently disappearing into the shadows of his hideout.

Then, across the street, he watched in silence at the door of the tavern.

As soon as the prey he was eyeing walked out of the tavern door, he would follow him, looking for a hunting opportunity.

As for the name, there is no need to ask at all, just search for the bounty order they brought with them as bragging capital.

Minutes ticked by, and less than ten minutes were left before the auction began.

However, Maud's focus is not on the auction.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Maud saw two familiar figures.

"It's Kidd, them."

Hiding his body in the shadows, Maud looked at the two of them who were heading towards the auction and subconsciously touched [Usopp] behind him.

"If you have the chance tonight, maybe you can try it."

Maud slowly withdrew her gaze, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Whether it's worth the risk or not depends on the situation.

For now, let's keep an eye on those prey first.

If he is run away, then he will come in vain tonight.

Maud silently watched the tavern door.

After a while, the hour hand reached nine o'clock, and the auction house began to close the entrance lane.

Maud looked from afar and saw that there were many people in the same style of clothing around the auction house, standing guard like guards.

I guess it's an armed team on the side of the auction house.

Maud thought to herself.

After that, I stopped paying attention to the auction house.

An hour passed.

The door to the tavern was pushed open, and three drunken men walked out with their shoulders crossed.

After seeing the three men, Maude's eyes lit up after squancing for more than an hour.

"It's finally out."

Maud quietly followed.

At this time, the auction was in full swing.
