The Straw Hats went straight to the rain feast.

The purpose is self-explanatory.

Probably trying to knock the culprit Klockdahl down here.

But this is clearly unrealistic.

However, with Luffy's blood-locked aura, nothing should happen.

Maud thought to herself, and then ignored the stares of Smoker and Dusty and sat down.

Bailey wasn't in a hurry to feast, but looked at Smoker and Dusty.

At Perona's whisper, Bailey jumped off the table and came to Smoker and Dusty.

And then

Bailey crooked his mouth.

Seeing this, Smoker and Dusty immediately became vigilant.

Bailey didn't care so much, and went straight to it, and Mali searched all the money from Smoker and Dusty.

"......" Smoker.

"......" Dusty.

"Hey, hey."

Bailey held the money he had found, smiled at the two wounded thieves, and ran back to his seat.

Looking at Bailey's fart and running away, several green tendons appeared on Smoker's forehead, and he felt like he was being bullied by dogs in Pingyang.

Dusty lowered his head, extremely depressed.

He was first crushed by Maud, then treated by the Straw Hat Pirates' doctors, who were robbed of all their money by a skunk.

It's such a terrible experience.

After getting the [Treat Money] from Smoker and Dusty, Bailey waved his hand and ordered all the dishes in the restaurant.

Smoker's gaze took a hard turn from Bailey, turned to Maude, and asked in a deep voice, "Bacardi. Maude, what is the purpose of your visit to Alabastan? ”

It's a similar question......

Maud glanced at Smoker, but didn't hear it, and instead picked up a cranberry pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Smoker's brows tightened, and when he was about to say something, a shadow snake silently climbed on top of him and blocked his mouth tightly.

Dusty on the side was not spared, and while being restrained by a shadow snake, he was also gagged.

Then, in front of Smoker and Dusty, Maud spent more than two hours eating this luxurious lunch.

After eating and drinking, Maud got up and prepared to leave.

He had to go to the Rain Feast and take the information Robin had prepared.

"Boss, don't look for it."

At the checkout, Bailey slapped all the money he had received from Smoker and Dusty on the counter, looking quite arrogant.

The boss cautiously glanced at Smoker, whose face was terrifyingly dark, and after a moment's struggle, finally accepted the money.

After paying the bill, Maud led Perona and Bailey out of the restaurant.

From beginning to end, he didn't give Smoker and Dusty another look.

After walking dozens of meters away from the restaurant, the Shadow Serpent quietly returned to its original form.

I just don't know how Smoker will react when he regains his freedom.

A few minutes later.

Maud arrives at the Rain Banquet, leaving Perona and Bailey in the casino lobby before going to Robin's room where the information is kept.

Walking into the room, it was empty.

Maud pulled out a stack of intelligence materials with clear photographs from the agreed table.

I took out one of the pages and glanced at it cursoryly.

On paper, it was true that it only compiled information about abilities and names, as he had requested.

In this way, it is much more convenient.

Maud nodded in satisfaction and probed her surroundings with a look of sight and smell.

After confirming that there was no one, Maud summoned the notes and wrote down the information of these capable people one by one.

"Although the overall strength of these senior agents is not strong, it is ...... They are all capable people, and they should be able to bring a lot of benefits. ”

Maude's palm flipped over, and the hunter's note turned into a faint point of light and disappeared into midair.

In my memory, among these Devil Fruit Abilities in the Baroque Workshop, except for a few, the rest of them were somewhat funny about the direction of Devil Fruit development.

That being said,

But aside from the [direction] that is wrong, the time for these people to eat the Devil Fruit is not short, and their proficiency is naturally not low.

In other words, on the premise that the amount of intelligence meets the standard conditions, killing them should be able to get a lot of experience in Devil Fruits.

As for the gains from sword skills and domineering, basically you can't get half of it, and it will also offset some of the gains from demons and physique.

This is one of the drawbacks that cannot be avoided in the middle and late stages of the Hunter's Notes.

Maud destroyed the paper containing the information, and immediately left the room, not meeting Perona at the first time, but probing in the rain banquet.

There is no trace of the Straw Hats.

And Crocodall and Robin weren't at the Rain Feast.

"Are you going to start? Klockdahl's plan to 'steal the country'. ”

and...... The original text of the history of Hades is involved. ”

Maude's eyes flashed.

After a while,

He returns to the gambling hall and finds Perona and Bailey.

And then

He saw Bailey lying on the floor, so negative that he almost wanted to die on the spot.

"What's wrong?"

Maud wondered.

Perona pouted, "This idiot has lost red eyes." ”

Maud understood in seconds, and glanced at Bailey, who wanted to be a mayfly in the afterlife, speechlessly.

"Let's go, go to Albana."

After a three-hour delay, it's time to go to Albana.

Before leaving, Maud glanced at the resplendent casino lobby.

Klockdahl is not here, and it is a perfect opportunity to perform the functions of a pirate.

But Maude attaches more importance to the improvement of strength, so he can only miss this big meat.

Moments later,

Two people and one weasel leave the casino.

Bailey was once again transformed into a land chariot, carrying Maud and Perona in the direction of Albana.

The land chariot drove at high speed on the desert for two hours, crossing a Haihe River on the way.

At the current speed of travel, it will take about two hours to reach Albana.

Due to the lack of intelligence, Maud did not know what was going on in Albana.

I wonder if the war has already begun.

Has the Straw Hat Pirates officially clashed with the Baroque Workshop?

Anyway, in the style of the Straw Hat Pirates, even if they narrowly defeat the enemy in a death battle, they can still keep the enemy alive in the end.

In this way, Maud is not worried about being robbed.

Continue on the other side of the Hai River.

More than an hour later.

Maud saw an unexpected group of people on the sand dunes ahead.

It's the Straw Hats.

But Luffy was not seen.

Hearing the movement of the Bailey brand chariot driving on the desert, the highly vigilant Straw Hats looked over for the first time.

"Huh!"

After seeing the familiar chariot, they rushed to Albana, as if they had seen a precious ray of dawn in the dark night, and they immediately showed a look of surprise.

"It's Maude......"

Five minutes later.

After picking up Nami and the others, the Bailey vehicle continued on its way.

"In other words, in order to drag Klockdahl, Luffy chose to stay behind?"

Listening to Nami's explanation, Maude was a little surprised.

"Hmm."

On the chariot, everyone looked worried.

Even a tough guy like Sauron can only divert his attention by making iron.

Maude groaned and deduced, "The direction of travel is the same, but when we set off from the rain banquet, we didn't hear any movement, and we didn't meet Luffy, which means ...... Most likely, the battle is over. ”

“……”

Everyone's hearts condensed slightly.

"Luffy is so strong, he will definitely be fine."

Usopp comforted everyone at the right time.

Although the effect was minimal, everyone could only choose to believe Luffy.

Maud didn't go any further.

In that kind of desert terrain, with Klockdahl's Sand Fruit ability, if Luffy didn't trigger the Bloodlock Hanging Aura, it was really possible to stop there.

"Maude, what are you going to Albana for......"

Vivi asked as she gazed at Maude's side face and mustered up the courage.

Maude met Vivi's gaze and said calmly, "No comment." ”

“……”

Vivi was stunned for a moment.

An idea suddenly appeared in her mind, and she subconsciously looked around at her companions.

Now is the most dangerous time for the country, if Maud is willing to help them......

Not only Vivi, but others also thought of this.

But in terms of position, if you want to ask Maude for help, you can only ask Vivi to speak in person.

However, when it comes to relationships alone, it is Usopp who is the most suitable to speak.

Usopp reacted quickly and spoke immediately.

"Master, can you ......?"

"I'm sorry, I'm also the Seven Martial Seas, and according to the rules, I can't make enemies with Klockdahl, who is also the Seven Martial Seas."

Maud knew what Usopp was trying to say, so she interrupted Usopp first.

At the same time, I silently added a sentence in my heart: Of course, it is not possible on the surface, but it is not impossible to taste it secretly.

“……”

Everyone couldn't help but be silent when they heard this, and it was difficult to hide their disappointment.

"But ......"

Maude looked at the crowd and said, "I can assure you that this country ...... It's going to be fine. ”

Although it is empty words, the person who said this is Maude.

For no reason, it was like a heart booster, which made Wei Wei and the others glow with a ray of brilliance on their faces.
