Chapter 146: They're Waiting for You

"Thor shot the Hailou Stone bullet at my feet in order to get me to accept the 'relic' and find a way to get out of the situation."

"I was well aware of the situation and knew better which choice was the most correct, but ......"

I still remember the scene of that day.

That was the closest Maude had come to death since she came to the One Piece world.

"In that case, if I turn around and run away, even if I am lucky enough to escape, I may not be able to let go for the rest of my life."

"And choosing to pull the trigger means that I bet on this shot of the only 'way out'."

"At that time, I didn't even think about the consequences."

"Just thinking about it...... Sunny was already in a safe place, so I had no worries. ”

"Even so, the 'domineering' I mastered at that time could only be covered by entanglement, and there was still an unattainable distance from 'release'."

"Fortunately, the old gun that Jesus gave me did not disappoint me."

"Under the guidance of the old gun, I successfully fired that shot."

Actually, I was thinking more at the time...... It's trying to shoot Karp. ”

At Shaki's request, Maud briefly reviewed the scene with a narrative, and when he said this, his face showed self-deprecation.

"It's naΓ―ve to think about it now."

"Shoot Karp......"

Xia Qi pursed his lips and smiled, snuffing out the cigarette that was about to burn to the end in the ashtray.

She has personally experienced the two great eras before and after, but she doesn't feel that this idea is very naΓ―ve.

In this sea full of thrills, the will to carry out to the end is sometimes more important than a strong body.

"Haha."

Reilly smiled unreservedly, raised his hand to pick up the wine bottle, poured the wine for Maude, and asked casually: "Then how domineering are you now?" ”

"It's not up or down, it's not first-class, but it's not far off, at least, there is no problem with the winding release."

"Remarkable."

Reilly looked at the up-and-coming junior beside him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and gradually felt that the back waves had been slapped on the beach.

Maude smiled humbly.

On the side, Brooke looked at his captain fixedly.

"Domineering, Jaya and Lafayette too, and I don't even know what it is......"

Brooke's gaze fell, and he glanced at the saber, muttering silently in his mind.

If you want not to lag behind, you have to master the advanced technique called domineering as soon as possible.

Brooke made up his mind.

After listening to Maude's personal story, Reilly began to ask about the old fellows.

After hearing Jaya talk about the fact that the Jab's people had to become bald in old age, Reilly laughed so hard that she almost fell off her chair.

"In the past, that guy attached great importance to hair, and sometimes he would laugh at my 'hair volume' was too small and not handsome enough, but I didn't expect him to have a single hair left, haha......"

Reilly burst into tears with laughter.

Xia Qi glanced at Reilly, who was so happy, that he lit a cigarette after a silence.

Old guys like them, once they touch the past, are naturally more willing to enjoy joy than sad that time is gone.

It's just that Xia Qi hasn't seen Reilly so happy in many years.

Still, she could understand Reilly's feelings.

Most of the time, just seeing Maude and Jaya was enough to make Reilly's mind flood with beautiful images of those passionate years in the past.

Thinking of this, Xia Qi smiled, raised his finger and shook the cigarette ash.

When everyone was chatting, Xia Qi suddenly said, "Maude, you didn't come to the Chambord Islands to enter the New World. ”

"Hmm."

Maud nodded.

Xia Qi smiled and asked, "Is it for the position of the Seven Martial Seas?" ”

Maude raised her eyes to look at Xia Qi, and the look of surprise in her eyes was fleeting.

He didn't intend to hide it, but he didn't expect Xia Qi to guess it.

Xia Qi keenly caught Maude's fleeting surprise, and knew that his guess through a lot of information was correct.

Reilly looked at Maude with some surprise, he obviously didn't know that Maude had come to the Chambord Islands this time for the position of the Seven Martial Seas.

Being watched by the two seniors, Maude also generously admitted: "Yes, I didn't attack Moria for fame, but I wanted to directly replace Moria's position in the Seven Martial Seas." ”

Xia Qi smiled, and did not further inquire about Maude's motives for wanting to become the Seven Martial Seas, and at the same time decided that it was only a matter of time before Maude succeeded to the position of the Seven Martial Seas.

Because, the act of personally defeating Moria is in itself a ticket to the highest priority level to the position of the Seven Martial Seas.

It is also one of the important bases for her to deduce that Maude wants to become the Seven Martial Seas.

"Maude, before you take over the position of the Seven Martial Seas, you have to solve some minor troubles on the island."

"For example?"

Maud looked at Xia Qi curiously.

Xia Qi exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "In addition to you and Lafayette, the other seven supernovas with a bounty of more than 100 million this year are also on the Chambord Islands. ”

"They actually arrived a while before you, but after they finished coating the ship, they didn't go to Fish-Man Island immediately, but chose to stay on the island, do you know why?"

Maud shook her head.

Xia Qi smiled even more on his face, and said seriously: "Because, they are waiting for you." ”

"Waiting for me?"

Maud was surprised.

Before Xia Qi mentioned this stubble, he hadn't paid attention to other supernovas at all, how could he have thought that other supernovas would stay in the Chambord Islands and wait for him.

Xia Qi nodded and explained: "It will not be easy for a newcomer to become a supernova, and you are also a supernova, and if you are too popular, it will naturally attract their jealousy. ”

"Is that okay?"

Maud was drunk.

Xia Qi smiled: "They are in the limelight for a while, and you are always in the limelight, it is not surprising that this will happen, presumably they already regard you as a stepping stone." ”

"Really......"

Maude's eyes were different, and she pinched her chin, but she suddenly laughed.

"Aunt Xia, do you have detailed information about that group of guys?"

"Absolutely."

Xia Qi is the best among the intelligence officers, and since she retired, she has been paying attention to the newcomers over the years, and her intelligence about them is at her fingertips.

Maud smiled even more happily when she heard this.

"Can you sell me that information?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xia Qi looked at Maude in surprise.

I didn't expect Maud to want this information.

She smiled and shook her head: "Don't say stupid things, I won't take money from cute juniors, you can take this information directly if you want." ”

"You're welcome, then."

Maud smiled.

.........

Chambord Islands, clothing store on the island of trees at 47.

Cavendish is trying on an elegant, aristocratic outfit.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the store, narcissistically looking at his handsome self in the mirror.

On the side, the female shopping guide and even the women who came to Cavendish in the store were all red-eyed, sunk in Cavendish and couldn't extricate themselves.

Just then, a man burst into the store.

"Captain, Maud is here!"

"Huh?"

Cavendish's face changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly became fierce in vain.

"Pay."

After throwing a sentence at his subordinates, Cavendish figured out of the pile of women like the wind, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

The subordinate looked at his own captain who disappeared without a trace in a daze, and said with a dull expression: "I haven't said where it is......

Meanwhile.

The supernovas in the Chambord Islands have learned of Maude's arrival on the island.

"It's ...... coming!"

They are already waiting impatiently.
