Chapter 16: Two Things
Take a brisk walk along the coastline.
On the way, Bailey kept thinking about moo.
Maud couldn't take it anymore and threw Bailey down and left him to walk on his own.
It didn't take long for Maud and the others to reach the place where the little sailboat was docked.
In order to load the money bags onto the ship, Maud and Lafayette first cleared the ship of seafaring supplies.
In the end, only two days' food and four days' fresh water were left, and the large money bag was reluctantly loaded onto the ship, and several ropes were used to secure it.
Once you've got it done, it's time to sail out of here.
Four days later.
The small sailing boat came to the offshore area of Lonka Island.
"It's finally here."
After four days of sailing, Maud stood at the bow of the ship and looked out over the marina on Lonka Island.
Fishing boats are moored in an orderly manner, and not far away are several merchant ships that are several times larger, and a warship that can deter pirates just by docking here.
Maud ignored the warship and took a closer look at the docks.
Although the place is small, the flow of people is quite dense, and it looks very lively.
A few hundred meters away, Maud could even hear human voices coming from there.
"Lafayette, if there is a situation later, the safety of the money bag will be handed over to you."
Maud glanced back at Lafayette.
"Okay."
Rafaite nodded his head.
The combined bounty of the two has exceeded 100 million. As a wanted pirate with a high bounty, ordinary people may not be able to recognize Maud and Lafayette at the first time, but the navy is different.
Remembering the goal of each bounty order is something that every navy has to do.
Not to mention the high-bounty pirates like Maud and Lafayette, who may be recognizable at a glance.
As Maud had expected, the navy stationed at the dock noticed their small sailboat.
Out of habit, the Navy on the warship lookout picked up the binoculars and took a closer look at the situation on the small sailing boat.
After seeing Maud and Lafayette's appearances, the navy was shocked.
"Smack."
The telescope fell to the ground with its hands off its hands.
"Lafayette, who has a reward of 42.2 million, and ...... A bounty of 68 million was offered!! ”
"How could they be in the East China Sea?!"
The navy muttered to himself, and after two seconds, he tore open his throat in a state of high tension.
"There are pirates coming!!"
"The enemy is ......!!!"
The dock fell silent for a moment.
Immediately afterward, riots erupted.
The warship turned its bow as fast as it could, aiming a row of guns at Maude's small galleon.
"Sure enough, we couldn't land smoothly."
Looking at the warship that was dispatching extremely fast, Maude felt deeply regretful.
Lafayette cut the rope tied to the money bag and carried it on his body.
Bailey jumped onto the purse, ready to let Lafayette take him for a ride.
At this time, several deafening cannon sounds were heard from the direction of the dock.
Four swarthy cannonballs flew towards the small sailboat they were on.
Maud stepped on the moon and soared into the sky, while Lafayette flew into the sky with pure white wings on his back, carrying the money bag and Bailey.
"Boom!"
Shells followed.
One of the shells was in the middle of the small sailboat.
The violent explosion instantly disintegrated the small sailboat, turning into a large amount of debris and floating on the surface of the sea.
After successfully sinking the target, the navy on the warship had no time to rejoice when they saw Maude stepping on the moon.
"Knock him down!"
The highest-ranking lieutenant colonel in the field roared, took the lead in raising the rifled spear, aimed at Maud and pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang ......!"
Countless buckshots slammed into Maud as she walked through the air.
Maud easily dodged it, and then landed on the deck from the sky under the desperate gaze of the navy.
A few minutes later.
Winding red streams flowed from the decks of warships.
Except for a lieutenant colonel who Maude deliberately left behind, the rest of the navy was reduced to a corpse.
After the battle, Lafayette landed on the deck.
Without Maude's command, Lafayette put the purse aside and hypnotized the lieutenant colonel.
"Name."
"Ability."
"What are you good at?"
After a few questions, it was easy to get the information.
Maud recorded the information in his notes, and then simply snapped the lieutenant colonel's neck.
Lafayette asked curiously, "What was the result?" ”
"General."
Maude glanced at the corpse of the Colonel, and with detailed information foreshadowing, the benefits were about equal to three fish-man creeps.
"After all, it is the navy of the branch, although the military rank is high, the strength is not very good."
"Ho-ho."
Lafayette chuckled and said, "This will change when you enter the Great Passage. ”
"Well, there's quite a bit of good game there."
Maud's mind flashed through a number of goals that were currently more profitable.
"Where's Bailey?"
Glancing around, Bailey was nowhere to be seen.
"Let's go find the kitchen."
“……”
Before changing ships, Maud and the others ignored the reaction at the docks and even in the town, and went straight to the galley on the warship to feast on it.
Maud then grabbed a merchant ship with an armed mast nearby, and then left the dock without stopping.
I wanted to drive away the warship directly, but the size of the warship was large and ostentatious, and there happened to be a merchant ship with an armed mast of the right specifications in the dock.
Maud changed her mind for the time being.
The townspeople watched in horror as the mast ship departed, and after a long time, a few men who were more daring dared to go to the warship to check the situation.
At this glance, it was a deck of corpses.
Two hours after Maude left, two warships arrived from the nearby branch.
After seeing the tragic situation on the deck of the warship, the commodore general of the branch who led the team turned extremely ugly.
"How could these two ...... in the East China Sea!"
As if he had thought of something, the brigadier general of the branch looked sharply at his deputy beside him.
"Have you notified the headquarters?!"
............
At this time.
Maude's mastboat sailed on the sea.
Unlike the bumps and cramps of a small sailboat, this medium-sized mast boat finally gave Maud a good sailing experience.
"Lafayette, when you get to the village of Sirob, you and Bailey will go to the island of Monmont."
"Understood."
Lafayette, who had just inspected the entire mast ship, was counting the money.
Today's sea breeze is not strong enough to blow away stacks of banknotes.
Bailey was not idle, and was forcibly thrown into the lookout to watch the situation.
Maud stood at the bow of the ship with the sea breeze blowing, holding a bounty from Captain Chloe in his hand.
This was recovered from the warship on the island of Lonka.
Before going to the Great Passage, Maud had to deal with two more things.
One was to visit Usopp in the village of Sirob, which Maud had made an appointment with Jesus.
The incognito Captain Chloe is in the village of Sirob, and since Maud has gone, he will naturally not let it go.
The other thing is to go to the island of Monmon to pick up Jaya on the ship, and if Jaya is unwilling, Maud will not be reluctant.
Regardless of the outcome, Maud will wait for Lafayette and Bailey to return in the village of West Rob.
"Boss, there's a situation."
Suddenly, Bailey's voice came from the lookout.
Under his guidance, Maud looked in the direction of three o'clock.
In the distance, three ships can be seen sailing side by side.
If you look closely, they are two warships and a large ship full of grandeur.
"Could it be...... Going to the World Conference on a ship? ”
Looking at the magnificent ship escorted by two warships, Maude's eyes flashed with a strange color.
.........
Meanwhile.
A warship arrives in the territory of the dragon.
After docking at the shore, one by one the navy streamed out of the warships and came to land.
The man at the head was Colonel Rat, the 16th Branch, and as his name suggests, he looked like a rat.
"Who did this?"
Colonel Rat looked at the dragon territory in ruins.
In addition to being shocked, he immediately thought of the assets of the Evil Dragon Pirates.
