Just one name.

made the square, which was still excited a second ago, directly become dead and silent.

Despite not seeing Maude, the pirates reacted reflexively.

Shocked, or shocked.

After all, even the 300 million Ribis was scared like this......

A moment later.

The many pirates who slowly came back to their senses all looked at the entrance of the passage at the bottom of Dragon Palace City.

"Just now, it was Bacardi. Did Maud shoot ......? ”

The sound of gunfire came from the entrance of the passage of Ryugu Castle.

If the person who shot was really Maude, then Princess Shirahoshi, who was tied up and hung by five flowers, may also be from Maude's handwriting.

"I haven't even seen a figure, so it doesn't have to be Maude, right?"

In the crowd, many of the pirates were only intimidated by Maude's name at the beginning.

After coming back to his senses, he greedily scanned Princess Shirahoshi's body while questioning loudly.

Can Ribis's inexplicable reaction alone directly determine the identity of the person who fired the shot?

It's too arbitrary.

"That's right, this guy in the black robe, just got shot, and he swore that the person who shot was Bacardi. Maude, that's. ”

"I remember that two years ago, Maud killed several supernovas in the Chambord Islands, and the black-robed Ribis was also a supernova that year, and it is rumored that he did not challenge Maud like other supernovas, but was directly scared away by Maud."

"Have you been scared out of the psychological shadows?"

"But it's not that exaggerated."

After suppressing the initial horror, most of the pirates stayed put.

The unbelievably huge benefits are right in front of them, and they have always licked blood on the knife edge, so they naturally don't want to give up easily.

Therefore, when the doubts spread throughout the square, although many pirates did not think that Rebis's reaction was untargeted, they were not deterred and chose to stay at the scene.

And it is extremely certain that the person who shot is Maude's Ribis, but no matter what the attitude of the group of pirates he has called for is, he has already decided to retreat anyway.

Even if the rarest treasure he most wanted was hung almost within reach, Ribis couldn't overcome the fear that Maud had planted in his heart two years earlier.

"Get out of here, stay away from that man!"

Ribis pressed his wound with his hand and ran towards Coral Hill, the port town where the ship was parked.

"Black robe."

Arthur reached out and pressed Ribis firmly on the shoulder.

"The Maude Pirates have long since gone to the New World, so you're so sure that the person who shot it was Maude?"

"Yes, you can't be wrong! There is only Bacardi in this world who can have that kind of treacherous marksmanship. Maud one! ”

Ribis turned his head and stared at Arthur.

"Black robe, you ......"

Arthur looked at Ribis's pale and bloodless face and bloodshot eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Ribis took advantage of the situation to shake Arthur's hand away and left in a panic.

“……”

Arthur withdrew his blood-stained right hand and watched as Ribis fled the square.

is obviously a high-spirited and powerful sea thief, but because of Maude's existence, he is so out of shape and so unbearable.

Even before he saw Maude in person, he lost all his courage.

"Forget it......"

Arthur withdrew his gaze from the back of Ribis and turned to look at the pirates in the square who had not left.

Although the combat power of Ribis is missing, with the number of peers in the square, it should not be a problem to capture the weak Dragon Palace City.

"I must get the treasure of Dragon Palace City!"

Arthur was not intimidated by Ribis's vain judgment and strode towards the reef, intending to take Ribes' place.

Now, how could he, who was eager to get the Devil Fruit, give up this operation.

Moreover, so many peers have gathered in the square......

Even if there is no Ribes, he can attack Ryugu Castle at any time.

Arthur jumped onto the reef and swept his gaze to the jagged pirates in the square.

In order to prevent another accident, Arthur knew that he could not wait any longer.

The pirates noticed Arthur who had landed on the reef and looked over one after another.

Facing many eyes, Arthur calmly shouted, "Brothers, tell me, what do you want?" ”

"Do you need to ask?"

"Of course it's a treasure!!"

"And women!!"

The pirates raised their weapons and shouted in response to Arthur's question.

"That's right!"

——————

Arthur clenched his right hand into a fist, raised it above his head, and said, "Treasure, woman, what you want is in Dragon Palace City!" Just attack Ryugu Castle! You'll get everything you want! ”

"Oh!!"

"Attack Ryugu Castle! Storm Ryugu Castle! ”

Listening to Arthur's encouraging words, the pirates shouted excitedly with their weapons held aloft.

The beautiful things that exist in the imagination are constantly stimulating their nerves.

Taking the reaction of the pirates into his eyes, the corners of Arthur's mouth twitched slightly.

The pirates on the island have been summoned here, and whoever takes the lead after that will have the same effect.

Inside Ryugu Castle.

The heavily armed elite soldiers of Ryugu City, who were stunned by Maude's domineering spirit, lay crooked on the ground.

Neptune and the three prince's brothers were bound by the shadow rope and could not move, so they could only sit cross-legged on the ground.

"Damn humans, put the white star back!!"

The four fathers and sons all looked at Maude standing at the edge of the passage with hideous expressions.

Just now, they watched Maude throw Shirahoshi out of Ryugu City as bait, but they couldn't do anything.

Grief and indignation, unwillingness.

A lot of emotions filled their hearts, making them want to bite Maude to death.

In the face of the roar of this family of four, Maude went in and out of his left ear.

His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the water shield of Dragon Palace City and see the situation in the square.

Originally, I thought that Ribis's unbearable reaction and revelations would scare away the group of pirates who gathered in the square.

At that time, Maude was already mentally prepared to make a move in advance, but he didn't expect it......

"Does greed suppress fear?"

Maude's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed: "This is the pirate." ”

I wanted to use Shirahoshi to attract all the pirates on the island, but I didn't want someone to call on the pirates on the island first, and prepare to attack Ryugu Castle in a big way.

This saves Maud a lot of effort.

As soon as she finished sighing, Maude heard the shouts of many pirates from the square.

"They're shouting down there to capture your Dragon Palace City."

“……”

Even without Maude's reminder, Neptune and the three brothers could hear the shrill shouts coming from the square.

They subconsciously looked at the soldiers around them who were stunned by Maude's domineering power, and their faces suddenly sank.

In this case, if the pirates attack in, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"If I put them in......"

Maud looked back at Neptune and his son, whose faces were cloudy.

"Huh!?"

Neptune and the three brothers widened their eyes.

Knowing that nothing they said would make a difference, they could only stare at Maude with a cannibalistic look.

Maude ignored their cannibalistic eyes, and continued, "With the combat power of your Dragon Palace City, you can't stop this group of red-eyed pirates below." ”

"Look down on people less !!"

"Isn't that true?"

“……”

Neptune and the three brothers gritted their teeth.

"But you can rest assured."

Maud walked towards the entrance of the passage and said calmly, "Because, I will help you solve all the threats on Fish-Man Island." ”

“……”

In this case, how could Neptune and the three brothers believe what Maude said.

It's just that

They also couldn't figure out Maude's true purpose.

........

Square.

On top of the rock formation at the edge.

Lafayette looked at the rejuvenated pirates in the square and smiled, "It's almost time to set up the phone bugs, so let's do it, guys." ”

"Hmm."

Everyone nodded one after another, and then dispersed in all directions.

And on the square.

The pirates, who are dominated by desire, are still unaware of the impending danger.

Arthur stood on the coral reef and looked at the pirates whose momentum had climbed to the peak, and his heart immediately became hot.

He threw his fists into the air and roared with all his might.

"So what are you waiting for!!

“……”

In response to Arthur, there was a dead silence.

The expected picture did not happen, and Arthur couldn't help but be stunned.

He kept his fists high, looking at the sluggish pirates below.

"What's going on?"

Arthur was puzzled and frightened.

This group of guys was clearly beaten with chicken blood just now, but in the blink of an eye, they completely changed.

"Maybe you're waiting for me?"

Just when Arthur was in doubt, a slightly familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Suddenly,

The image of Maude passed through his mind.

A chill suddenly stirred up from Arthur's back, and in an instant, it spread throughout his body.

Arthur wanted to go back and confirm the identity of the voice's owner.

But his neck was so stiff that it seemed to freeze, and he felt weak.

The many pirates in front of the coral reef looked at the man standing behind Arthur in a daze.

"Bacardi. Hammond...... Really here......"

Many of the pirates were incredulous and terrified.

At that moment, they couldn't even see how Maud had appeared behind Arthur out of thin air.

Now, they're not in the mood to think about that kind of thing.

The next second.

There is no need for others to take the lead.

All the pirates scattered and fled.

It was a scene that made Arthur's expression extremely exciting and a little unreal.

The once emaciated little boy is now a sea thief who can scare off tens of thousands of people just by showing his face......

"Long time no see, Arthur......"

Maud stretched out her arm and put it on the neck and shoulder of the "old friend" beside her.

The undertaker's mask couldn't stop Maud from recognizing Arthur.

Arthur's body trembled, and he forcibly resisted the thought of attacking Maude, his lips squirming slightly, but he couldn't say anything.

Maud didn't care about Arthur's silence, and didn't squint at the pirates scattered in the square.

"Do you think they'll be able to run away? Arthur. ”

“……”

Arthur's face changed, and he said with difficulty: "Yes, it shouldn't be." ”

"Be confident, get rid of what you should have."

“……”

The corners of Arthur's mouth twitched.

Maud smiled and took two steps forward, past Arthur, standing on the edge of the reef.

"Arthur, I'm surprised to see you here."

"I'm the one who should be surprised."

Arthur looked at Maude's tall back and took a deep breath.

"Huh."

Maud looked back at Arthur and said seriously, "Are you ready?" If you can't bear it, you'll die. ”

"What?!"

Arthur's heart shook.

Maude didn't say anything more, and simply released the domineering spirit of the overlord.

The aura of the black ripple circle, which is difficult to see with the naked eye, is like a stormy wave, and it is scattered around the square at an extremely fast speed.

Arthur, who was closest to Maude, only felt as if his spirit had been beaten a hundred times in an instant by a pair of fists, and he was in a trance in front of him, his knees felt weak and weak, and he almost fell to his knees when he bent and stretched.

Click, click.

Under the baptism of Maude's overlord aura, the morttician's mask on Arthur's face suddenly appeared one after another.

With an increasingly audible click, the mask suddenly cracked into several pieces and fell to the ground, revealing Arthur's bloodless, horrified face.

on the square.

Maude's overlord-colored aura swept the audience.

The pirates, who were running wildly and fleeing, lost consciousness without warning and fell to the ground as if their souls had been drained of them.

All of a sudden, the pirates fell to the ground.

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard continuously.

Hundreds, thousands, ten thousands.

Less than two seconds.

Under the impact of Maude's overlord-colored aura, nearly 10,000 pirates directly lost consciousness and lay on the ground in the square, not moving.

But there are also hundreds of pirates with good strength, who, like Arthur, have struggled to resist Maude's overlord color.

"It's ...... Maude's overlord color is domineering. ”

They looked at the nearly 10,000 colleagues who fell to the ground in an instant, the blood on their faces faded, and their faces were full of horror and horror.

on coral reefs.

Maud glanced at the pale Arthur and reached out as if encouraging to pat Arthur on the shoulder.

"Congratulations on surviving."

“！！！”

Arthur's heart beat suddenly.

With a quick mind, he instantly understood the meaning of Maude's words.

The man in front of him is planning to kill those peers who can't bear the domineering spirit of the overlord!

Thinking of this, Arthur, who was pale and bloodless, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and his weak knees fell directly to the ground, looking at Maude's back in a daze.

Ribis is right.

Arthur's eyes twitched sharply.

Maud jumped off the reef and strode past the unconscious pirates all over the ground, walking towards the hundreds of pirates who had carried the Overlord color.

"This monster ......"

"What are you still doing in a daze, run!"

Seeing Maude striding towards him, these hundreds of pirates, who had no intention of resisting, ran in the direction of Coral Hill without looking back.

Now they just want to leave Fish-Man Island by boat as soon as possible.

"Keep that fear in mind."

Maud slowly stopped, and instead of pursuing, he looked at the pirates who fled faster than rabbits with a cold expression.

Leaving some live mouth is the most advantageous propaganda weapon.

Ryugu Castle.

A large, walking image worm rests quietly on a stone ornament.

The light emitted from its eyes fell on the water curtain, forming a broadcast image.

Neptune, who was tied up, and the three prince's brothers, all stared blankly at what was happening in the light curtain in Geelong's Calder Square.

Princess Shirahoshi, who was hanging under the passage of Ryugu Castle, was also incredibly looking at Maude, who had eliminated all the pirates in a matter of seconds.
