Chapter 106: The Center of the Vortex
Maude, who had been silent for eight months since the Battle of Mad Hatter, broke into the public's field of vision with an unscrupulous attitude.
Vaguely, there is the momentum to replace last year's Fire Fist Ace and become the center of the new whirlpool.
Such a statement is not an exaggeration.
In previous years, if there were no major events, some dazzling new stars that were born out of thin air have always attracted attention from all walks of life.
Last year, it was Fire Fist Ace, and after entering the Great Passage, he became famous in just a few months, attracting the continued attention of the Four Emperors and the Admiral.
For a whole year, the world has been watching the future of Ace with Fire Fist.
It wasn't until Fire Fist Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates that this kind of targeted attention had the momentum to go down.
According to the development of the plot of the original book, this year should be the highlight year of Cavendish.
Half a year later, Cavendish will enter the new world of the second half of the Great Passage with a bounty of 280 million.
At that point, his debut will be a sensation all over the world.
Unfortunately, Maude's appearance is destined to halt Cavendish's bright future.
The journalists who were moved by the news, because of Maude's presence, no longer focused all their energy on Cavendish .
Coupled with the fact that Dede Turkey [fanned the flames] from time to time at that time, the lights that should have been gathered on Cavendish naturally shifted to Maude's.
In such an environment, Sengoku, as a naval marshal, has always paid close attention to these dazzling new stars with a full sense of presence.
However, the three admirals in the navy didn't care much about the endless rookie pirates.
The yellow ape is, and so is the red inu.
The same should have been true for pheasants.
It's just that because of the Mad Hat Town incident, coupled with Maude's activity during this time, the pheasant will more or less pay attention to the information related to Maude.
For example, in the near future, Peach Rabbit ate deflated at Maude's.
Compared to this, the senior in the headquarters who likes to eat senbei doesn't seem to care about the threat that Maude may bring in the future.
As for pheasants, they don't matter.
Among these people who participated in the Mad Hat Town incident, Peach Rabbit is quite persistent with Maude.
"Hmm, do you want to go for a walk?"
The pheasant stopped stomping and put his right foot on the ice, his eyes showing thought.
He thought to himself, it's not far anyway, and there's nothing to do, so let's take a look.
After making his decision, he turned the front of the car a little.
Suddenly, a sea king rushed out of the sea, staring at the pheasant viciously with red eyes.
"Bell bell—"
The pheasant looked up at the sea kings, struck the bell a few times, and motioned for the sea kings to give way.
The sea kings paused, then pounced on the pheasant.
Seconds passed—
There is a huge ice sculpture on the sea.
A pheasant on a bicycle walks away slowly.
Ringing ——!
........
Somewhere on a calm sea, a warship lowered its sails and anchored here.
"Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, the news is confirmed."
On deck, a sailor came up behind Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel.
Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel with Mohican hairstyle and flowing beard heard this, waved his arms, and said solemnly: "Gather the anchor and set sails, and the destination is Lore Island." ”
"Yes!"
With the order of Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, the sailors of all divisions were mobilized one after another, and the deck suddenly resounded with dense footsteps.
Whew-
The sails of the warship fluttered, and the huge hull slowly moved in the direction of Lore Island.
Meanwhile.
Above the sea, there was also a warship bound for Lore Island.
Not only that, but after the news of Maude's presence on Lore Island spread in the underground world, those hunters with high bounties in their eyes gathered together on their own and also went to Lore Island by boat.
If you can get Maude's head, even if the navy will deduct a part of the bounty, as long as you add the bounty of the underworld, there will be more than one billion benefits.
A cost-effective prey like Maude is not common.
Therefore, fueled by high returns, the guys who want to take Maud's head are not limited to bounty hunters in the underworld.
All of a sudden, there was an undercurrent.
Countless eyes are focused on the barren island of Lore.
Maude's existence does have a tendency to become the center of the whirlpool.
..........
Lore Island.
Ten days have passed since Yixiao landed on the island.
During this period, with the assistance of the navy of Servis, Maud and Luo and their party, with super high efficiency, eradicated the source of the plague in a village.
Of course, the most tired is Luo.
I don't know if it's the stimulation brought by Doflamingo, Luo is getting more and more desperate.
That kind of performance that bordered on madness made Maud very worried about whether Luo would die suddenly.
On this day, Maude and his party came to the next village.
With the Navy coming forward, there is no need for Lafayette's hypnotic ability.
And these villagers who have not been hypnotized will always thank them happily after the treatment.
In this regard, this group of navies will always look satisfied, and as for Maude, they have no waves.
Little by little, time passed.
Half a month has passed.
Thanks to the efforts of many people, the action against the plague has achieved great results.
At this rate, it will take less than a month to completely eradicate the plague on Lore Island.
"Suck Yo-Yo ......"
Holding a bowl of freshly baked vegetarian noodles with a smile, he ate deliciously while watching everyone busy.
Among all the people, he is the most idle.
Every day, Jaya can make all kinds of pasta for him to eat, and he is uncomfortable.
After all, his duty is to be a bodyguard, and he is watching from the sidelines until no one comes to make trouble.
After two or three clicks, he ate a bowl of delicious vegetarian noodles, and with a smile, he subconsciously looked for Bailey's figure, wanting Bailey to help him fill another bowl.
At this moment, a smile seemed to realize something, and turned his head to look in the direction of the coastline.
That powerful sight and hearing color spread all over the island in an instant.
"I want to eat two more bowls......"
Yixiao slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, lifted the wooden staff that was set aside, got up and walked in the direction of the coastline.
Maude, who had returned from hunting, happened to see a smile heading in the direction of the village.
"Are you coming......
Maude's eyes flashed, and he decisively dropped his prey and smiled.
Picking up heads, but it's his favorite thing.
..........
The northern coastline of Lore Island.
A large ship with a capacity of five hundred people docked here.
"It's finally here!"
A bald-headed man with a fierce face looked at the land that was close at a foot in time, and could not hide his excitement.
"Billion Bailey, Lao Tzu is here!"
The wooden ladder extended from the big ship and was set up on the shore.
A group of murderous people walked quickly down the wooden ladder and came to the shore.
"You haven't eaten, have you? Don't give Lao Tzu a little faster! ”
The bald man looked at his men who were walking down the wooden ladder one after another, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the efficiency, waving his knife and roaring.
Listening to the boss's urging, the group of people ran and jumped down the wooden ladder.
Smack-
At that moment, there was a slight popping sound in the air.
Immediately after, the big ship moored on the shore, along with the wooden ladder on the shore and the crowd on the wooden ladder, all disappeared into thin air in an instant.
The sudden and strange situation made this group of outlaws who couldn't wait to take the head of Maude Xiang stand on the spot.
"What's going on?"
The bald man at the head was wide-eyed and a little overwhelmed.
"Where do you want to go if you're going to travel?"
A gentle voice came into the ears of more than 100 people present at the right time.
