Rainland, known as the dream city of Alabastan, is also the base camp of Klockdahl.

With an abundance of water, it is a veritable oasis.

The Straw Hats first arrived in the rain, and after parting ways with Ace, they couldn't wait to rush out into the streets.

"It's so lively......"

The streets are full of people and the sound of non-stop noise fills the ears.

Such a prosperous scene seems to be unaffected by the domestic unrest.

The Straw Hats looked at the prosperity in front of them in a daze, and inevitably thought of Juba, who was now in ruins.

Between the two, it's like a world of difference.

Maud didn't go with the Straw Hats, led Perona and Bailey, and walked straight towards the casino standing in the middle of the lake.

This splendid casino is the property of Klockdahl's name - the rain banquet.

By the time the Straw Hats reacted, Maude was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Maud?"

"I'm so hungry and thirsty!!"

"It's strange, it's still there just now."

"I'm going to eat!!"

"Isn't it going to the casino?!"

"I want to drink water!!"

"It's noisy!"

"Bang-"

After Nami knocked Luffy down with one punch, she raised her eyes to look at her companions present and said, "In short, the top priority is to replenish supplies, especially clean water." ”

"Hmm."

Wei Wei and the others thought so.

This trip to the rain land, if you don't meet Maude on the way, maybe you will die of thirst on the way.

It can be seen that when there is a bucket of rice in the team, it is better to sacrifice the speed of the team and bring more supplies.

"Wow, Luffy senpai, come and see, there's a super handsome car here!!"

Bartolomeo ran to the gate of a restaurant a hundred meters away, waved his hand and shouted at Luffy and the others in the distance.

Beside him, a domineering motorcycle with a metallic sheen was parked.

"Oh!!"

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper were immediately attracted by the domineering motorcycle, ignoring Nami's next instructions, and ran to Bartolomeo's side.

"So handsome!"

Usopp's eyes lit up as he looked at the motorcycle, which had obvious signs of modification.

Luffy and Chopper were even more direct, reaching out and touching the motorcycle.

"It's just that I always feel ...... This car is so familiar, like I've seen it somewhere. ”

Usopp was excited, holding his chin in his hand, tilting his head and frowning at the motorcycle in front of him.

"Senior Usopp, I feel this way when I hear you say this."

Bartolomeo tilted his head to look at the motorcycle as if he had been woken up, frowning in thought.

"Hearing you say that, I think I've seen this car somewhere."

Luffy slowly retracted his hand, also pinching his chin, tilting his head to look at the motorcycle.

"Where have you seen it?"

Luffy, Usopp, and Bartolomeo whispered in unison.

Only Chopper was still jumping around on the motorcycle, looking so excited that he couldn't find North.

Inside the restaurant.

"Colonel Smoker, it's so noisy outside, it looks like he's talking about a car or something."

Dusty, who was seated at a dining table, pushed the frame of her glasses and looked in the direction of the door in confusion.

Smoker, who was sitting in the seat next to her, also looked at the door with a blank face.

If you want to talk about cars, the motorcycle parked at the door is his.

If it weren't for the motorcycle that had been specially modified to cope with the desert terrain, and the drive from the Smoke Fruit, he and Dusty would not have been able to make it to the rain so quickly.

Unfortunately, his motorcycle could only carry one person, so the rest of the navy was on its way to the rain except for Dusty.

"I'll take a look."

Smoker suddenly got up and strode to the door of the restaurant.

He stretched out his hands to push open the door and walked out of the restaurant, and the first thing he saw was Luffy, Usopp, and Bartolomeo standing in front of his motorcycle, looking like they were tilting their heads in thought.

Turning his gaze slightly, he saw a tanuki jumping happily on the mat of the motorcycle.

Smoker couldn't help but be silent.

Hearing the sound of the restaurant door being pushed open, Luffy and the others looked over together.

When he saw Smoker, he couldn't help but be silent.

"Wow, Luffy, Usopp, Bartolomeo, this leather cushion is so soft and elastic, do you want to come up and try, try, try, ......"

Chopper suddenly noticed the change in the atmosphere, slowly stopped, and stared at Smoker standing at the door of the restaurant with a fierce face.

At such a distance, he could even clearly see that the green tendons on Smoker's forehead were shaking slightly.

"Grass. Cap. One. Companion! ”

Smoker looked at Luffy and the others who had thrown themselves into the net with fierce eyes, and said word by word.

...........

The other side.

Maud came to the entrance of the Rain Feast.

When you look up, you can see a pyramid-like building standing in front of you.

On top of the pyramid-like building, there is a very eye-catching golden banana crocodile sculpture.

"It's a bad taste......"

Maud looked at the banana crocodile sculpture at the top of the tower.

Perona stood beside Maude, put her palm in front of her eyebrows, and whispered, "It's so big." ”

"Let's go inside."

Maude smiled and strode up the stairs.

Even though the casino was Klockdahl's property, he had to go in and check it out now that he was here.

Perona didn't say anything, and quietly followed Maude.

The two stepped up the stairs one after the other.

Around the casino.

Several of the billionaire members of the Barlow Society's studio looked in shock at Maud and Perona, who were about to walk into the casino for a rain feast.

"How could the Seven Martial Hymods be here?!"

Hundreds of millions of elders were shocked, and hurriedly took out the phone bug, and immediately transmitted the [information] they saw to Robin's hands who were inside the rain banquet.

Just as Maud and Perona walked up the stairs, a loud noise was heard in the street in the distance.

"Huh?"

Maud and Perona, as well as the surrounding residents, all stopped in unison and turned their heads to look in the direction from which the loud noise had come.

I saw that in the direction where the sound came from, a thick white smoke was rising into the sky.

"Is it on fire!?"

Residents watched with astonishment as the smoke soared into the sky.

Looking at the surging white smoke rising into the sky, Maude couldn't help frowning.

"Smoker? Seemingly...... My warnings have been ignored. ”

After muttering to herself, Maude kicked her feet and walked in the direction of the white smoke.

"Hey! Really!! ”

Perona was stunned and watched Maude disappear in an instant, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Street Division.

A house collapsed with a bang.

Usopp and Bartolomeo quickly rose from the ruins of the house, staring solemnly at the billowing white smoke in front of them.

"Luffy! Chopper! ”

"Luffy-senpai!"

In front of the restaurant, a large amount of white smoke spread from Smoker's hands, surging through the street like a tidal wave.

Luffy and Chopper are tightly wrapped around the chains formed by the white smoke, and although they can breathe, they can't move.

"Damn Smoking Male !!"

No matter how Luffy and Chopper struggled, they couldn't break free from the chains of white smoke that condensed like substance.

They don't know how to be armed and domineering, and in front of Smoker's natural smoke and fruit, they are powerless or powerless.

"Colonel Smoker!"

Dusty runs out of the restaurant and looks at Luffy and Chopper in amazement as they are caught by Smoker.

As soon as I looked around, I saw Usopp and Bartolomeo standing in the ruins of the house, as well as Sauron and others who had rushed over from the other side of the street.

Qiang ——!

Dusty's expression froze, and he decisively drew his knife.

Smoker looked coldly at Luffy, who was struggling in the white smoke, and said indifferently: "Straw hat boy, this time, no one can save you!" ”

"I can't say for sure."

A cold male voice suddenly sounded in Smoker's ear.

When Kankan reacted, he was suddenly hit hard in the shoulder.

Suddenly, the whole person flew out like a cannonball, slamming into a house on the side of the street, splashing bursts of rubble and smoke.

But Maud appeared without warning and kicked Smoker away.

As Smoker flew out, the power of the Smoke Fruit dissipated.

Losing the restraint of white smoke, Luffy and Chopper fell from mid-air, looking scared.

"Idol !!"

"Master!!"

Usopp and Bartolomeo, who were preparing to rescue Luffy, couldn't help but be excited when they saw Maude appear.

"How dare you ......"

Dusty looked at Maude who kicked Smog away in shock, clenched the long knife with both hands, and pointed the sharp blade at Maude who was close in front of him.

Hurry up and move your feet!

Just take a step forward!

Just like you would normally practice, swing your arms and deliver the blade to the enemy.

Hurry up!!

Why......

Why doesn't the body listen to it......

Dusty's eyes widened as he looked at Maude, who was close at hand, and the long knife in his hand was trembling slightly.

When the gaze met Maude's eyes......

What a terrible oppressive force!

The shoulders were so heavy, as if they were being held down by a mountain......

No, you can't cut it out at all!

Dusty felt a suffocating sensation that gripped her heart.

The powerful aura from Maude directly crushed her fighting spirit.

Maud tilted her head and looked at Dusty with a blank face on the verge of collapse.

"Now that you've realized my strength, let's give up the sword......"

"There is no shame in throwing away the knife before me."

Dusty's body shook, like a lightning strike.

It was as if there was a shadow that was so large that it swallowed up all her pride and self-esteem in an instant.
