More than a month has passed since the Little Garden incident ended.

However, the turmoil caused by this incident has not subsided with the passage of time.

This can be seen from the fact that he still held the headline newspaper at the time.

Through the hype of the media news, Maude's killing of the Blue Ghost and Red Ghost of the former Giant Soldier Pirate Regiment basically spread throughout the entire Great Passage.

Although the bounty of the Blue Ghost and the Red Ghost is only 100 million, this is the bounty of a hundred years ago after all.

Therefore, those who have paid attention to this matter do not think that the green ghost and the red ghost are only at the level of a 100 million bounty.

Moreover, there are also the accounts of the bounty hunters and pirates who left the small garden safely, adding weight and authenticity to the headlines that had been around for three consecutive days.

Over time, the Little Garden Incident has another nickname - Monster Battle!

Thanks to the help of these news outlets, Maude's reputation has been further enhanced.

That's pretty much the case in the world of pirates.

If you want to gain fame as soon as possible, fighting the well-known powerhouse is the fastest way.

After that, there will be those news media who will take the initiative to take over.

The hot discussion in the outside world is still boiling, and Maude and his party have successfully returned to the sea area of the Devil's Triangle.

"They are?"

Inside the castle, Maud stood in front of a cell that covered a very large area, looking through the rusty iron rods to the dozens of men in the cell.

"Ho-ho."

Lafayette, who had led Maude here, smiled and explained, "They are pirates who have been lost in the Devil's Triangle for the past two months. ”

"Oh?"

Maud raised an eyebrow.

Being able to crash into a terrifying three-masted ship in the Devil's Triangle, which is covered with dense fog all year round, can only be regarded as unlucky for this group of pirates.

Lafayette tilted his head to look at Maude and said, "Thinking that they might have some value, I spared them their lives." ”

Maud instantly understood the meaning of Lafayette's words, shook his head and said, "It's weak, it's not worth my waste of 'pen and ink'." ”

"It's a shame...... Since it has no value, let's just clean it up. ”

Lafayette held his cane in front of him, and his words were full of regret.

Then, there was the sound of the staff and sword slowly unsheathed.

Hearing the sound of the cane and sword coming out of its sheath, the body of the Bailai pirate in the cell shook violently.

They all looked up in horror at Lafayette, who slowly drew his staff and sword, as if they smelled death.

Mordhu raised her hand and pressed Lafayette's arm to draw her sword.

Lafayette looked at his captain in confusion.

"Value ......"

Maude looked at the frightened Bailai pirates in the cell, and said coldly, "There is still a little." ”

The unlucky people in front of him, who unfortunately strayed into the terrifying three-masted ship, are not qualified to become his experience points, but the shadow can be used to mobilize some zombies.

Even if the strength is not good, it can be used as labor.

Three hours later.

A pirate ship sails out of the inner bay of the Terror Three-Mag.

On the deck of the pirate ship, there stood a group of pirates with confused expressions, as if they had just experienced some nightmare.

Shore.

Cavendish raised his eyes and watched the pirate ship go away, and whispered to himself, "Have you been cut off......?"

"Captain."

Nock, the navigator of the Handsome Pirates, approached Cavendish and cautiously asked, "How long will it be before we get out of this place?" ”

"That's a question you should ask Maude."

Cavendish glanced at his own navigator and said angrily.

"Uh......"

Nock smirked.

Don't let him ask Maude, just standing in front of Maude, I guess I can't even say a word.

"It won't stay long."

Just then, Maude's voice came from the forest behind Cavendish and Nock.

Hearing Maude's voice, Cavendish was slightly stunned, and immediately turned around and looked at Maude who walked slowly out of the forest.

As for Nock, he also turned around slowly, but his body movements seemed quite stiff.

As he looked at Maude, Nock had a polite smile on his face.

Even though that smile looked even uglier than crying.

In order to calm himself down, Nock shuddered and pulled out his mascara brush and combed through the long, thin black eyelashes.

Maud looked strangely at Nock, who was acting a little strangely, and didn't pay much attention to it, and turned to Cavendish instead.

"It's only two or three months."

“！！！”

Cavendis's eyes widened.

The mascara brush in Nock's hand fell to the ground with a click.

"Two or three months!? It's not going to stay long!? ”

After half a ring, Cavendish shouted at Maud in disbelief.

Maud was unmoved and smiled, "Is there a problem?" ”

“……”

Cavendish opened his mouth wide as if his neck had been choked, and he couldn't make any sound.

Nock on the side is like an ostrich buried in his chest.

Maude smiled at Cavendish's gaffe and said seriously, "Trust me, staying here for a while longer will only be good for you." ”

Believe in you to have ghosts!!

Cavendish shouted loudly in his heart.

A few days later.

Outside the castle in the training ground next to the forest.

Cavendish lay on his back with a wound, looking very embarrassed.

"Maude, is that what you're talking about!!"

"Isn't it a benefit to give you a sparring partner for free?"

A few meters away, Maud smiled at Cavendish who had fallen to the ground and lost his combat ability.

This training battle lasted less than thirty seconds before it ended.

As for the result, of course, Cavendish was unilaterally abused by Maude.

Cavendish straightened up with difficulty, and said indignantly: "I'm the one who gave you a free sparring partner, right?" ”

"...... at your level"

Maude said, but shook her head and sighed, the meaning she wanted to express was very clear.

Cavendish was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Outside the training ground, except for Philo, who stayed in the room all day studying antibodies and antidotes, everyone else was there, including the crew of the Handsome Pirates.

They all looked at their own captain who was abused by Maud with complicated expressions.

Perhaps sensing the many eyes coming from outside the field, Cavendish endured his injuries and gritted his teeth to get up.

Maud looked at Cavendish who was already at the end of his crossbow but gritted his teeth.

"Xiaoka, your personality can skillfully use the armed color, but you haven't even mastered the fur, just at this level, going to the new world is purely sending you to death."

"Even if it's to die, it's my own choice."

Cavendish gritted his teeth and stared at Maude.

Maud shook her head and said, "Don't be stubborn, be a good training partner for Brooke, and in return, Lafitte will teach you how to use the armed color." ”

“……”

It was only at this point that Cavendish finally understood Maud's intentions.

The affection was for him to act as the sparring partner of Brooke's others.

However, if you can master the armed color......

Cavendish couldn't help but waver.

When she came back to her senses, Maud had disappeared into thin air.

"That guy...... Don't give people a choice at all! ”

Cavendish was tired.

Lafitte looked in the direction of the castle and walked into the training ground with a smile.

In order to keep the team in Maude's footsteps, he was able to teach Brooke patiently as a teacher until they learned to be domineering.

Inside the castle room.

Maud sat in her chair, looking sideways at the shadow that slipped in through the window.

In the next two months, while Cavendish is asked to serve as a sparring partner, Maud does not plan to be idle.

Shadow fruit, there is more potential for development.

He will make good use of this time to refine the Shadow Fruit's abilities.

As well as increasing the proficiency of the Overlord.

………………

Time flies.

Two months later.

The handsome Pirates' Hakuba sails into the offshore waters of the Chambord Islands.
