In the end, it was decided to stay.

Until the rest of the Hearts Pirates arrived on Lore Island, the operation to deal with the plague did not slacken.

In the days that followed,

Maud and the others solved the plague and hidden dangers in the second village, and then rushed to the third village without stopping.

No one knows when the Navy will come to Lore Island to trouble them.

Until then, let Luo race against time to treat the patient, and if he can cure one more, it will be one.

With their super-fast pace, it took less than a day for everyone to reach the third village ravaged by the plague.

It was still Lafayette's hypnotic ability to kick off, and then sent the patients into Law's operating room one by one.

The days passed.

Soon, the week passed in a flash.

Thanks to the efforts of the people, the plague sweep in the third village came to an end.

During this time, Ronald lost count of how many surgeries he had.

I only know that every day, in addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping, the rest of the time is in surgery.

He will never step off the operating table until he is tired alive.

Such a high-load operation, which was almost torturous, did bring him a significant improvement.

Not only is there an increase in physical strength, but the precision of the control of the surgical results is also increasing.

These are all in Maude's eyes.

The starting point for letting Luo go through such a demanding training is to increase the chances of retaining the weapon fruit.

However, what really prompted Law to persist was the collapse of the Don Quixote family......

Maud knew it.

"It's too early to deal with Doflamingo......"

In order to ascend to the position of the Seven Martial Seas, it is necessary to pull down one of the original Seven Martial Seas.

Before the great wave that would change the times, Maud had never thought about dealing with Doflamingo.

The disparity in strength is one thing, and the huge shadow that stands behind Doflamingo is also one thing.

Even if he has the strength to defeat Doflamingo, if he makes a rash move before he lacks a suitable opportunity, he is afraid that he will be affected by the whole body.

If nothing else, the world government alone will not watch Doflamingo fall.

Therefore, Maud had no intention of dealing with Doflamingo in the short term.

Maude will not take the initiative to inform Luo about this kind of thing.

On this day, the sun was shining.

At the end of the treatment, a tall man in a lilac kimono came to the entrance of the village where Maude and the others were.

The man has short black hair, a beard around his mouth, closed eyes, and an "X" scar on his left eyebrow.

"Sure enough...... It's different. ”

The man bowed slightly, and although his eyes were not opened, in the gray vision, there were figures swaying like candles.

To be precise, it's a breath.

Those breaths,

Smooth and powerful.

It didn't look like a place tormented by the plague.

Although he was mentally prepared, after seeing it with his own eyes, the man was still slightly surprised.

After pausing for a moment at the entrance to the village road, the man walked into the village.

Be quiet

It's eerily quiet.

This is the intuitive feeling of the man after entering the village.

Along the way, he obviously passed by with dozens of breaths, but the owners of those breaths turned a blind eye to his arrival.

The huge village road is also silent.

Not even a whisper.

"Are you hypnotized......

The man can't see, but he has extremely rich experience and is extremely clever and domineering.

The two complement each other, and a basic judgment is made about the current situation of the village.

There was a moment of silence in the middle of the village road, and the man raised the wooden staff in his hand.

"It's okay, then ...... Let me know. ”

The man muttered to himself, drove the bottom of the cane, and struck straight to the ground.

Knock ——!

The wooden staff struck the ground with a loud sound.

The sound was like boulders rolling down the hillside to the ground.

The dull sound spread throughout the village in an instant.

On both sides of the village road, the hypnotized villagers seemed to be awakened, their bodies suddenly trembled, and their godless eyes gradually lit up with a glimmer of light.

Immediately afterward, the villagers were at a loss, unaware of what was happening.

A hundred meters away, in a house where Maude and the others were.

The sound of determination swept over their ears.

Maude's face changed slightly.

The same is true for Lafayette and others.

Who is it......?!

Maud gestured to Lafayette and rushed out of the house, stepping through several narrow lanes to the village road in the middle of the village.

As soon as he arrived on his front foot, a "sight" like a scorching sun looked over.

“……”

Maud noticed something, raised his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Fujitora!?"

Looking at the tall man in the purple kimono in amazement, Maude's heartbeat instantly accelerated.

Qiang ——!

Without time to think about whether the title Fuji Tiger was appropriate, Maude did not hesitate to pull out the thousand birds in the sheath.

The strong man is in front, and he can't tolerate any slackness.

To fight or not to fight, the knife should be drawn as soon as possible.

"Fuji Tiger? Why do you call me that? ”

With a smile in his hand holding a wooden staff, diagonally in front of him, his closed eyes silently "looking" at Maude, who was waiting for him.

"And, you...... Seems to know me? ”

The acumen that is beyond common sense, or the incomparably powerful sight and hearing.

From the few clues revealed by Maude, a smile revealed an unknown secret.

Although unfounded, he accepted his own inferences.

Maude's eyes shrank sharply, and reason shut up as she scurried back.

"Run!"

The hurried voice reached the ears of Lafayette and Jaya, who came in a hurry.

Without knowing why, the two who wanted to come to find out the current situation did not hesitate to follow what Maude said, stopped abruptly, and immediately turned around and retreated.

“……”

smiled silently and "looked" at the three Maude with such a consistent synchronization rate, but let them escape.

Whether the sword should be shown or not, it can't be here after all.

In this way, letting Maude and them escape for a while is something that is happy to be seen with a smile.

"The person who came turned out to be the future general Fujitora ......"

Maude's heart was pounding.

He was mentally prepared to face Gion on Lore Island, but he didn't expect that the navy that came to crusade against them would be a powerful future admiral Fujitora.

Some inconsequential lack of information made Maud preconceived that Fuji Tiger was not yet a general, but he was also a serving navy.

That is, they came to Lore to fight against their navy.

This kind of cognition, although wrong, is essentially the same.

It doesn't matter if Fuji Tiger is navy or not.

Now, he's really coming for the Maude Pirates.

"Who's that guy?"

Jaya's eyes were extremely solemn.

She didn't know Fuji Hu, but she was sure that it was a very powerful existence.

The same is true of Lafayette.

He didn't know the identity of Fuji Tiger, but he could deduce Fuji Tiger's strength from his aura.

Not to be underestimated......

"A formidable enemy that we can't compete with at this stage!"

Maud was in a solemn mood.

They rushed back to the house as fast as they could, and without having time to explain, they took Luo, who had just finished an operation, and Bailey and Bebo, who were confused, to run out of the house and run towards the coastline.

When she escaped, Maud didn't take Philo with her.

He felt that it was safer for him to stay in the house as Philo.

However, when Philo saw Maud and the others suddenly fleeing, he followed without even thinking about it.

Her speed was not slow, barely able to keep up with Maude's pace.

Above the village road.

With a smile in his hand, he tapped the ground in front of him and paced forward leisurely.

Like, not in the slightest, there is no fear that the Maude Pirates will escape.

He walked along the village road while feeling the energy that came from all around.

It is no longer lifeless, but a breath of life that beats like a heart.

"Pirates...... ? ”

Thinking about what Servis had said, he smiled and quickened his pace.
