Chapter 4 What is valued
Sudden transgression, and a very aggressive look.
Even if Robin was a little bit of a belly black attribute, he was briefly flustered at this moment.
And when people are in a panic, they will always inadvertently expose something.
In less than two seconds.
Robin noticed that Maude's aggressive eyes were not mixed with the expected desire.
More ...... It's scrutiny.
Robin quickly calmed down and looked Maud in the eye.
When she calmed down, she suddenly understood that Maude's transgression was an insignificant temptation.
But in an instant, Robin felt lost.
If you can fulfill your dream, even if it is at the cost of your life.
So, what is a mere body?
It is with this realization that she has come to this day.
Whether it's true or not, you have to try to grasp it......
Robin's eyes flashed with determination, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Maude's words speak first.
"Nicole Robin, strength aside, you're an extremely good talent."
I didn't see Maud make any moves, and the shadow that had pulled Robin in front of him was surging, but it sent Robin to his place again.
Immediately afterward, Maud got up from the shadow chair.
As he got up, the shadow turned into a black shadow and hovered behind him.
"It's just...... My ship, without your place. ”
Maud stared into Robin's eyes, and could clearly see Robin's fleeting look of disappointment.
To be honest, today's in-depth contact with Robin still moved Maude's heart to some extent.
As he said, Robin is a rare talent.
It's a shame to miss out.
However, he is not Luffy, and he does not have a grandfather who is a naval hero.
If Robin is abducted here, it is expected that the pheasant will visit him in a short time.
In the original book, if it weren't for the Pheasant's thoughts and Karp's affection, the Straw Hats who brought Robin on the boat and began to emerge would have been directly cleaned up by the Pheasant.
That's the benefit of background networking.
But for Maude, if it's just against the pheasant......
In order to keep Robin's talent, with the strength that Maude has accumulated so far, he can still try to fight.
With the right place and people, maybe Robin can be saved.
But the final decision is not about Robin's own value or the potential risks that come with it.
The point is that Robin is seeking to join on the premise of "utilization".
So it's not worth the risk Maude.
Maude, who saw this, naturally interrupted the opportunity that Robin wanted to grasp.
Robin could see Maude's attitude, and after being silent, it was inevitable to regret it.
But in fact, Maude is also regretting.
The woman in front of her, who has experienced quite a twist and turn, has only one and only one place to return after all.
There was silence on both sides.
Maud cut off the gecko's vitality in his hand, and immediately separated a small shadow and injected it into the gecko's body.
After making this move, Maude directly shifted the conversation to the content of the transaction.
"When you are in danger and need to call for help, just stuff some salt into the gecko's mouth, and I will notice it and rush to your side as soon as possible."
Maud hands the gecko to Robin.
Robin looked at the gecko that had just lost its vitality but was still moving slightly, and a strange color appeared in his eyes.
She silently took the gecko.
Although there was no way to verify it, she knew that this man would not play a trick on such a thing.
And this chance to call for help may be the maximum benefit she can get from Maude.
Robin stopped thinking about a way out of Maude and looked at Maude calmly.
"I need a little time to prepare the information you want."
"How long?"
"Two hours."
"Okay, I'll come back to this room in two hours, you don't have to be there, just put the prepared information in the table cabinet over there."
"Okay."
The deal was negotiated.
Maud didn't linger, letting the shadow slip out of the rain feast first, and then left the rain feast out of thin air by swapping places.
After watching Maude disappear into thin air, Robin put away the gecko and left the room to find Klockdahl.
It is more important to report to Klockdahl on the latest situation than to prepare information.
"Bacardi. Maude ......"
Hearing Maude appear in the rain, Klockdahl, who was eating, changed his face slightly.
The meat in his hand suddenly became unfragrant.
His thoughts were the same as Robin's.
At this critical moment, the sudden appearance of a Maud is not good news for him.
Klockdahl put down his knife and fork, his eyes grim.
I don't know Maude's intentions, so I can only go to the meeting for a while.
Crocodall made a decision, and slowly got up, his eyes swept over Robin, who had a calm face at his side.
Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden commotion in the casino.
There is also a faint mixture of the dull sound of a heavy object collapsing.
Klockdahl frowned.
He was originally holding the victory, but because of the news that Maude appeared in the rain, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
………………
Rain on the long street.
Maude, who left the rain feast, strode down the street.
After getting the information from Robin, all you need to do is find a condescending place in the square in front of the royal palace in Albana, and you can find the right time to harvest the Devil Fruit experience of the many powerful people of the Baroque Workshop.
As for the next battle......
Forget it.
Maud is interested in the Devil Fruit experience of the many capable people of the Baroque Workshop
As for the combat experience, it is basically a one-second thing, which really makes Maud uninterested.
If I had to say it, the man who could turn his whole body into a blade, and Klockdahl, who was also a member of the Seven Martial Seas, were worth looking forward to.
But these two are important whetstones for Luffy and Zoro, and it is impossible for Maude to blatantly attack the Seven Martial Seas.
So, just set up a gun in the chaos to collect Devil Fruit experience, there is no need to complicate things.
Maud returns to the big hole in the broken wall of the restaurant, but the Straw Hats are nowhere to be seen.
"Maude, where have you been! Don't say a word before disappearing inexplicably! ”
Perona floated out of the hole in the restaurant wall and looked at Maude with a puff.
At the entrance of the rain feast, Maud suddenly disappeared into thin air.
When she arrived at the restaurant, before she could say hello to Maude, Maude disappeared into thin air.
Perona gets tired just thinking about it.
"Just now I went to do business, but you ......"
Maud glanced at the jam stain on the corner of Perona's lips.
"You're having a lot of fun, but I remember you didn't have any money with you, right?"
"Hmph, I didn't bring any money, but those two navies did."
Perona pouted and pointed to the two wounded people in the restaurant who were temporarily unable to move.
“……”
Maud shook her head slightly when she heard this, and looked at Smoker and Dusty, who had already bandaged their wounds.
Even without Perona's explanation, Maud could probably guess who was treating the two navies' injuries.
"Luffy, where did they go?"
"To the casino, shall we follow?"
"Forget it, Bailey is hungry, I'll check it out after eating."
"Oh."
Maud and Perona walked into the restaurant side by side.
Bailey, who had reverted to his original form, crouched on Maude's shoulder, and Hara Zi drooled.
Inside the restaurant.
The boss seems to be a weathered man who is used to seeing the big world.
So even if a big hole was smashed into the wall of the shop, it would not affect him to continue his business in the slightest.
There's a saying.
Time is money......
But when Maude was seen walking into the store.
The boss was suddenly not calm.
All I had in mind was to hang a sign outside the restaurant two steps in advance that it was temporarily closed.
Smoker and Dusty looked at Maude as she walked into the restaurant, their expressions heavy.
