Chapter 21: The Shadow Crate and the Devil Fruit

If Maud hadn't come into the world.

The ones who stop the war will be the Straw Hat Pirates.

The one who defeats Klockdahl will be Luffy the Straw Hat.

But here he came.

The result was predestined, but the process changed somewhat.

In the sense that the one who stopped the war was Maude.

The last person to kill Klockdahl with his own hands was also Maud.

It's just that

Under Maud's operation, the person who knocked out Klockdal and safely rescued King Kobra of Alabastan was indeed the Straw Hat Luffy.

But the world government is clearly not going to recognize the fact that the people who solved the crisis in Alabastan are a group of newcomer pirates.

Not to mention admitting that Klockdahl used the authority of the identity of the Seven Martial Seas to carry out this plan to steal the country.

In order to cover up these facts, there is also this informing call.

The Seven Martial Seas actually want to steal the country?

Oh, it's fine.

We'll let the other Seven Martial Seas eliminate the threat.

presumably

For the world government, it is undoubtedly a great thing that Maude, who is also a member of the Seven Martial Seas, is also in Alabastan.

As long as it is fabricated the fact that Maud was under the orders of the World Government, cooperated with the Navy of the Headquarters, and then succeeded in stopping Klockdahl.

It also invisibly eliminated some of the bad influences brought about by the identity of the Seven Martial Seas.

One-pass operation down.

It is nothing more than trying to tell the world a fact.

And that's – you see, it's all under control.

Maud found it funny.

Naturally, they don't want the world government to do what they want.

After all, he is not a navy that can only obey orders.

Smoker didn't know what Maud wanted to do.

One thing is for sure......

What Maude said made him very uncomfortable.

He couldn't refute it.

After a while.

Before the reinforcements sent by the navy arrived, the navy led by Tina woke up one after another.

"Tina is angry!"

Tina, who finally woke up, walked towards Maude angrily after figuring out what was going on.

"It's important to get down to business."

Smoker stepped in at the right time to stop Tina, who was overwhelmed by her anger.

"Get out of the way!"

Tina said coldly.

Smoker was unmoved, thinking that if you rushed to Maude, the end result would only be to lie down again.

"In the same way, Tina won't say a third time, get out of the way!"

But Tina is really angry, even if it is death, she will give Maud a punch to eliminate the anger in her heart.

Smoker could relate to Tina's feelings, but he didn't want to see Tina toyed with by Maud again.

eventually

Their strength is simply not enough in front of Maude.

"The reinforcements sent by the headquarters are almost here, and the top priority is to unite the forces and block the escape path of the Demon Son and the Straw Hats, rather than doing something meaningless."

In order to stop Tina from jumping into the pit, Smoker quickly moved out the military order from his headquarters.

Hearing this, Tina immediately clenched her fists.

The murderous look passed directly over Smoker and landed on the smiling man.

The mission of recovering the field from Maude, rendezvous with reinforcements, and successfully capturing Nico Robin and the Straw Hats is obviously more important than the task of recovering the field from Maud.

In desperation, Tina had no choice but to give up.

Half an hour passed.

The reinforcements sent by the headquarters all arrived, and there were 30 warships, but the size of the warships was not large.

Still, it's a lot of momentum.

Such a stroke surprised Maude a little.

But

He wasn't going to get involved in it.

With the arrival of reinforcements, all navies mobilized and went to the coastal and offshore areas of various places.

Tina's warship also sailed away from the coast and headed for the route where the Straw Hat Pirates were most likely to escape.

At the bow of the ship.

Looking at the warships in the distance, Perona's eyes were full of surprise, and she muttered in a low voice: "With so many troops, can the Straw Hats escape?" ”

"Huh."

Maude smiled.

There are indeed a lot of troops.

But Alabastan is a vast country, and the navy's course of action is to block all escape routes along the coast.

In this way, the rare forces will only be scattered everywhere and lose their original advantage.

Invisibly, it also increases the chance that the Straw Hats will successfully escape.

Moreover, if the dragon hadn't left, Alabastan might have seen a large-scale artificial rainfall.

Anyway, regardless of whether the Straw Hats can break through, Maude just waits for the results to come out.

"Let's get it done."

Maude thought silently in her mind.

The sooner this event ended, the sooner he would be able to return to the Chambord Islands and continue to learn the art of life return under Shaki's teachings.

Thinking of this, Maude picked up the upper love that Perona had just finished.

This move suddenly provoked the eyes of a woman who was still angry.

But Maud didn't care, and turned the pages to read.

But after reading a chapter, Maud felt that something was wrong.

The protagonists are two females.

Then, this is a love book.

Maude first glanced at Perona, who was looking at the lower part with relish, and then at Tina, who was paying attention to the immediate information, and couldn't help but ponder.

“……”

This glamorous female naval colonel actually likes to watch love with this theme?

After a moment of silence, Maude silently put it down.

On the way to the interception site, the Navy Headquarters faxed over several of the latest bounty orders for the Straw Hat Pirates.

Except for Nami, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates are all on the bounty order.

It is worth mentioning that Luffy's bounty directly soared to 150 million Bailey.

Fifty million Baileys higher than in the original book.

"It's fast."

Maude pinched a few of the latest bounty orders and lamented the efficiency of the world government.

The incident report has not come out yet, but the reward order of the Straw Hats has been updated first.

subsequently

I don't know if the Straw Hats are unlucky, or if Tina is lucky enough.

Obviously, there are so many routes to break out, but the Straw Hats just crashed headlong into the Black Spear Array fleet led by Tina.

In order to greet Vivi at the agreed place, the Straw Hats did not run away.

Of course, it was attacked by the black spears of Tina's fleet.

With frequent cannon fires, the warship fired black spears more than five meters long at the Merry.

Seeing that the Merry was about to be shot into a hornet's nest by the black spears, a glass-like barrier appeared out of thin air, easily blocking all these menacing black spears.

It is the barrier fruit of Bartolomeo.

Maude's eyes twinkled slightly when he saw the effect of the barrier fruit.

This ability is simply invincible in conventional naval warfare.

Tina, who was experienced in naval warfare, was obviously aware of this, and her face was gloomy as that of a deep resentful woman.

After several entanglements, the array of black spears that Tina was so proud of couldn't hurt Merry in the slightest.

"30 million?"

Tina's mind flashed through the amount of Bartolomeo's bounty.

With this ability alone, there is no more than 30 million rewards.

Tina thought with a frown.

When all the attention of the Navy on the warship is on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Maud was lying on her back in a chair, playing with a Devil Fruit in her hand, looking like she was on vacation.

"Hmm, that's a great ability."

Looking at the perfect defensive effect displayed by the Barrier Fruit under the attack of the Black Spear, Maude had a clearer understanding of the upper limit of the Barrier Fruit.

"Looks like there's nothing wrong with it."

Maude flipped his backhand, and a black shadow surged in his palm, enveloping the huge Devil Fruit, which gradually shrank and turned into a small black marble.

After the Devil Fruit broke through the six stars, the idea of developing a shadow box to store things became a reality.

As for the brand-new Devil Fruit, it was the prize that Maud drew in this incident.

Although it was only a ......

But this probability itself is extremely low, and being able to hit one can be regarded as a manifestation of excellent luck.

Maude just watched as a bystander, watching Tina get deflated at the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates.

ultimately

Vivi is still the same as in the original book, and did not board the Merry.

But there are two new guests on board.

One is Robin and the other is Von Cree.
