Inside the palace banquet hall.

A long table draped in white cloth sits horizontally in the banquet hall.

A wide variety of delicacies are placed on the table in an orderly manner.

The Straw Hats took their seats, their eyes shining at the delicacies on the table.

"Stinking shemale, why are you still here!!"

Sanji looked at Feng Cree, who was sitting next to him.

Von Clay said with a sense of urgency: "Because I'm hungry." ”

"Yes, because I'm hungry!"

Luffy, who was sitting next to Von Crey, echoed.

Looking at his own stupid captain who was singing and harmonizing with Feng Cray, Sanji rubbed his brows vigorously when he heard this.

In desperation, he could only pull down his face and discuss with Zoro beside him: "Hey, green algae head, change seats with me." ”

Zoro didn't even pay attention to Sanji, but looked intently at Maude across the table.

Not only Zoro, but also several people at the long table, including Kobra, and the soldiers who stood on both sides of the banquet hall like a benchmark, couldn't help but look at Maude.

In the turmoil that nearly brought Alabastan to ruin, it was this man who played a crucial role in turning the tide.

If it weren't for this, even if Luffy "defeated" Klockdahl, hundreds of thousands of people would have died in this war.

But this man, like Klockdahl, is the Seven Martial Seas......

Maud didn't care about the stares from all around, first helped Perona get a few pieces of dessert, and then scooped up a lot of meat for Bailey.

Afterwards, Maud slowly ate the unique flavors of Alabastan.

"How do I get back to Chambord after that?"

Maud munched on the pancake as she pondered her way back to the Chambord Islands.

Bear's [plane ticket] is convenient, but the disadvantage is that it is a one-way ticket.

Now if you want to go back to Chambord, the ship is not a problem, the point is that Lafayette is not around.

In the Great Passage, going to sea without a navigator is no different from killing yourself.

The most direct way at the moment is to get on the boat of the Straw Hats.

If he took the initiative to bring this up, no one else would have an opinion except Luffy.

But Maud knew very well that if he got on the boat, he would not be greeted by a happy downwind boat, but a lot of trouble and a great waste of time.

So forget it.

Maud vetoed that choice.

Ruling out the option of hitching a ride on the Straw Hat Pirates, it would be really difficult to get back to the Chambord Islands as soon as possible.

"Let's take it one step at a time."

Maud swallowed the pancake with the meat filling, thinking silently to herself.

Just then, a soldier trotted into the banquet hall.

"King, there's a group of navy out there asking to see you."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Kobra glanced at the Straw Hats who were eating happily and groaned.

"Let them come back tomorrow."

"Yes."

The soldier leaves the banquet hall.

This insignificant episode did not disturb Luffy's and his party's interest in eating.

After a while.

Chopper arrives in the banquet hall and informs everyone of Robin's awakening.

Maud didn't react, but the Straw Hats were a little happy.

Although Robin is one of Klockdahl's accomplices, in this incident, it was Robin who rescued Luffy twice.

It was this life-saving grace that made Vivi forgive Robin for what he had done, and the rest of the Straw Hats were no longer hostile to Robin.

"Call her over for dinner, there's a lot of meat!"

Luffy stuffed his mouth with food and slurred.

Chopper barely understood, shook his head and said, "No, Robin, she is seriously injured and needs bed rest for a few days." ”

"Then I'll go get Robin something to eat."

Sanji suddenly got up and behaved very positively.

Weiwei, who was dressed in formal clothes, glanced at Sanji and said with a smile: "Sanji, I have ordered in advance, this meeting should have been sent over." ”

"Ahh

Sanji sat down weakly, looking disappointed.

After Chopper confirms that Robin is over the danger period, he relaxes and has dinner with his companions.

As the bottles of wine bottomed out, the table began to be lively.

The straw hats had no etiquette to eat, and the guards on the side were in a cold sweat.

This is how the atmosphere began to change towards a banquet.

Just as the atmosphere was getting stronger, there was a commotion at the door of the banquet hall.

A group of navies forced their way into the banquet hall.

The leader is not Smoker, but Colonel Tina, who is known as the Black Threshold in the Navy-

A woman with long pink hair and a first-class appearance and figure.

Her team came to Alabastan as a reinforcement.

This would have been the case with Smoker, who had called for help, to come to the palace to arrest the major criminals.

However, Smoker did not show up because he felt that he had not fulfilled his duties and justice and was weak in his position.

Instead of blaming Smoker, Tina took over the sovereign.

And she has always been resolute, if she is willful, it is extraordinary.

Although her request to see her was rejected this time, the stakes were very high, and she didn't care so much and forcibly broke in.

Their arrival made the originally lively banquet hall only the sound of Luffy swallowing food in an instant.

Kobra looked at the intruding navy with a look of displeasure.

Maude looked at Tina, who was leading the way in, and her eyes lit up.

I was still worried about how to get back to the Chambord Islands as soon as possible.

It's not,

Doze off and send pillows.

Straight to the perfect downwind boat.

Tina walked into the banquet hall and glanced at the members of the Straw Hat Pirates, but did not see the most important goal of the trip.

Not here?

Tina thought silently, suddenly noticing Maude's gaze.

"Seven Martial Seas Bacardi. Hammond. ”

Tina's heart tightened slightly as she looked at Maude with a smile on her face.

He only cares about coming to arrest a major criminal, but ignores the existence of this man.

As Tina glanced over the crowd, Kobra's majestic voice came from the main seat.

"Soldiers, expel this group of navy."

Those who can sit firmly on the throne of the king are not ordinary people.

Kobra is usually kind and friendly, but Tina's navy touches on issues of principle, so he is completely unrelenting.

As soon as the guards guarding the banquet hall received the order, they immediately showed their weapons and rushed to Tina and the other navy.

Seeing the soldiers rushing towards them, the navy subconsciously raised their weapons.

But just as they raised their weapons, negative ghosts emerged from the ground and easily pierced through their bodies.

"I'm sorry to be human."

"In the next life, I want to be a cicada."

"I'm sorry I came out to scare you when I was ugly like this."

"I really shouldn't have been born into this world."

The navy that was hung with a negative buff lay on the ground one after another, muttering negative words weakly.

"Is the Devil Fruit capable ......"

Tina's eyes froze, and she leaped backwards, avoiding the negative ghost flying in front of her.

"Hee-hee."

Perona looked at a navyman who had lost her combat effectiveness at the sight of her face, and covered her mouth and chuckled.

The moment she heard the laughter, Tina's cold gaze went straight to Perona.

"Did you do that?"

Tina quickly made a judgment and stomped her right foot on the ground dozens of times.

Navy Six. Shave!

however

The feet were finished, but Tina's whole body remained motionless.

"Huh?"

Tina's face changed drastically, and her whole body was filled with lead, and it was difficult to swing in the slightest.

"What's going on......"

She struggled to turn her neck.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could barely see a pitch-black figure standing behind him.

"Shadow...... Tina didn't even notice ......"

Tina's eyes rolled to look at Maude, her eyes filled with anger.

Maude rubbed her cheeks and smiled: "Female navy, I want to go to the Chambord Islands, give me a ride." ”

"You ......"

Tina's face sank.

It has always been her ability to imprison others, and she has never been imprisoned like this.

Even if the other party is the Seven Martial Seas, the strength should not be so far apart!

surrounding

The guards, the Straw Hats, and even the Kobra who stopped one after another were all amazed to see a naval team that had lost its combat effectiveness at the first sight.

meaning,

This can already be said to be completely destroyed.

Maud and Perona, who were the initiators, remained in their chairs and never moved a single step.
