Chapter 49: Reporting
When a pirate encounters a treasure chest, he brings it back to the ship.
This is one of the true portrayals of the Age of Sail.
And the treasure chest is also a kind of thing that can arouse the emotions of pirates in an instant.
Maud is curious about this treasure chest from above.
But in this situation, he didn't have the heart to open the treasure chest, so he took the treasure chest to the cabin and put it away.
After exiting the cabin, Maude first looked at Lafayette, who was intently observing the weather, and then again at the huge waterspout that broke through the clouds in the sky.
A treasure chest flew up and down, and it was a dreamy encounter, but it just happened.
And there is such a thing as opportunity, which is inexplicable.
There was once a drunken and hazy pirate who, after having a banquet with his companions on an uninhabited island, found a random hidden place on the island to solve it on the spot because of a bad stomach.
Coincidentally, the liquid excrement gushing out of his intestines happened to be poured on a Devil Fruit.
After the pirate lifted his pants, he habitually glanced at the excrement, and noticed the Devil Fruit that had been invaded by the excrement.
Then, the pirate's drunkenness disappeared on the spot.
No one knows what the pirate's mood was at the time, only that the pirate used the fastest speed in his life to get the indescribable Devil Fruit from the mess of excrement.
Then, without even thinking about it, the pirate swallowed the excrement-drenched Devil Fruit in two bites.
That's the wonder of the Great Fairway.
In a world of tens of millions of islands, whether it's a Devil Fruit or a treasure chest, it's sleeping somewhere in an unknown way.
When luck strikes, you don't have to look for it at all, the Devil Fruit or the treasure chest will be delivered to you.
Maud was thinking about the contents of the chest, keeping an eye on the climate change on the surface of the sea.
From the left rudder change just now, it is considered to be a dangerous way to get rid of the whale current behind him, thus reducing the chance of capsizing.
Subsequently, under the correct command of Lafayette's decision, after several changes of direction, the mast ship completely moved away from the threat from the huge waterspout.
Dozens of minutes later, the mast ship made a difficult way through the storm and came to the beautiful sea.
After escaping, Lafayette frowned slightly.
"The boat is so bad......"
He sighed inwardly.
There were two times when the ship almost capsized just now, both because the "response" speed of the mast boat was too slow.
However, the thought of being able to order a good ship of the hundreds of millions on the next Leviathan island made Lafayette's brow furnish.
Mast ships sail on calm seas.
As soon as she escaped, Maud couldn't wait to go back to the cabin and take out the treasure chest that had been chained into a dead knot.
Seeing the treasure chest, Lafayette and Jim looked surprised.
They had just been concentrating on the fight against nature, and they hadn't noticed that Maud had picked up a treasure chest.
Everyone leaned over and looked down at the rusty chest.
"What could it be......
Maud was looking forward to it, and began to remove the chain.
When the chain is removed, the chest reveals a rusty keyhole.
Maud reached out and placed it on the chest, and with a slight force, broke the lid of the chest.
More than half of the turbid sea remained in the treasure chest, and the soaked pieces of paper floated in the water.
Maud gently poured out the sea water inside the chest, and with a soft click, an hourglass-shaped permanent hand fell out.
In addition to this, there is a small slender wooden tube with a cap.
"Permanent pointer?"
Maud picked up the permanent pointer, a pointer pointing steadily in a certain direction in a transparent glass sphere surrounded by three small wooden pillars.
Generally speaking, on the wooden frame of the permanent hand, there is an engraved string of words indicating the destination.
But this permanent hand does not inscribe the name of the destination.
Just as Maud was looking at the permanent pointer, Jaya picked up the small wooden pipe with the lid and shook it slightly, and there was a slight impact sound in the wooden pipe.
Jaya then unsealed the lid and poured out a rolled piece of vellum.
Seeing this, Maud gently lowered the permanent pointer and looked at Jaya's unrolled parchment.
It's a sketchy map of the topography of an island, and it looks unremarkable.
However, near the center of the map, a red cross is drawn.
"Treasure map?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Treasure chests and treasure maps, even if you are not a pirate, will be interested in it at the first time.
Lafayette picked up the permanent pointer and smiled, "What a surprise." ”
With this treasure map, the permanent pointer is most likely pointing to the island where the treasure is located.
Jaya carefully scanned the treasure map in her hand, her eyes pausing on the skull in the upper right corner of the treasure map, her face full of curiosity.
Coming into contact with this kind of thing as a pirate gave her a wonderful feeling.
Maude took the treasure map from Jaya's hand and said curiously, "I don't know what kind of treasure it will be." ”
"It's generally treasure."
Lafayette played with the permanent pointer.
Treasure means a lot of money, and a lot of money can be used for a lot of things.
You know, a good place like the Evil Dragon Territory, even in the Great Passage, is rare.
"I'll go after the boat change!"
Maud looked expectant.
Picking up this treasure map is like winning the lottery.
And treasure hunting is such a thing, which can always provoke sufficient motivation.
.............
Seven days later.
The Maude Pirates' slaughter of the pirates in the towns of the Twin Islands occupies a section of today's newspaper.
These newspapers were delivered all over the world by the industrious newspaper delivery gulls.
"That's ruthless, Maude Pirates......"
"I remember that the Twin Islands were the starting islands of one of the routes, these guys are really amazing, just entering the Great Passage and then so domineering?"
"Being able to do this kind of thing is definitely not a rookie pirate group that is easy to get along with, and if you encounter it in the future, it's best to stay away."
"How dare a rookie pirate group be so arrogant?"
"The rookie pirates are so angry!"
"This is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing."
"It's unimaginable that just a few people can kill all the pirates on the island?"
"Bacardi. Maude ......"
Around the world, many pirates have been talking about this matter.
This Twin Islands massacre did not cause an uproar in a world that had been quiet for a while, but it also caused a lot of ripples.
As a result, the Maude Pirates officially entered the field of vision of many pirates in the Great Passage.
East Sea, Rogue Town.
Peach Rabbit looked at the photo in the newspaper with a calm expression.
At the fingertips, the newspaper is pinched out of pieces of wrinkles, showing the owner's emotions.
She didn't expect to wait for news from Maude in such a way.
Unexpectedly...... Already went to the Great Fairway.
Peach Rabbit's mentality is a bit broken.
Smoker and Dusty stood behind Peach Rabbit, their eyes falling on the black-and-white photograph in the newspaper.
In the photo, Maude is standing in a pile of corpses with a long knife in hand.
The technique of the person who shot it was excellent, and although he chose a side face angle, he still clearly captured Maude's cold eyes at that time.
That look, coupled with the background board of corpses all over the ground, made a burst of awe-inspiring anger come out of the paper.
Dusty looked at the report below the photo, and his heart beat faster.
Still immature, she was frightened by the brutal actions of the Maude Pirates.
Smoker frowned, his eyes showing jealousy.
