There is no god in this world.

But there are Celestial Dragons, who claim to be gods.

Ironically, the Draconians do have a status and power over countless nations.

Once their majesty and lives are offended.

The secret supreme spy agency directly under the world government, known as the strongest shield C of the Draco people, and the top combat admirals of the navy, will be dispatched to maintain the divine power of the Draco people.

Even, the Tianlong people have the right to directly transfer generals.

Based on this, countless pirates on the sea secretly joked that the admiral was a good dog raised by the Tianlong people.

From their point of view, there is nothing wrong with holding such a view.

But they also have to admit that if they meet the Celestial Dragons in the Chambord Islands one day, they will definitely bow down decisively.

The Draco people are such beings.

Embraced by the C Organization and the Navy, they are spurned by countless people and feared by countless people.

therefore

On this sea, everyone knows one thing very well.

If you attack the Celestial Dragons, it means that you will have to face the never-ending purge-style pursuit of the C Organization and the Navy.

This is also the confidence of the Celestial Dragon people who dare to go to the Chambord Islands with a small number of escorts.

Even the arrogant pirates who like to kidnap princes and nobles in exchange for sky-high ransoms will choose to retreat when they see the Draconians who are directly delivered to their mouths.

This phenomenon is actually the most incomprehensible place for Maude.

With the arrogant and domineering behavior of the Celestial Dragons, sooner or later, they should be exchanged for one by those who have the consciousness of death.

But this kind of thing has never happened.

If it is said that this is because Organization C is secretly protecting the safety of the Draconians at all times, but when Straw Hat Luffy was beating up the Rozwald Saint family, C did not appear.

Anyway, if the Navy launched this operation for the sake of the living heart.

Then, let's exchange it for the hearts of the Draconians.

If it was for Luo's surgery, then carry a dozen Draconians to show the public, so that the world government and the navy can be divided a little.

Maude's astonishing speech made the venue fall silent.

Everyone looked at Maude with an incredible look in their eyes.

Xia Qi was the first to come back to his senses and took a deep look at Maude.

Maude, she knew, meant it.

It is also clear that with Maude's style of acting, before making this decision, he must have thought about the way back and the response.

"It's getting worse and worse...... In the future, the sea will probably be turned upside down by you...... Little Maud. ”

Xia Qi thought in his heart, habitually took out the cigarette case, and flicked his fingers, but realized that the cigarette case was empty.

Maude withdrew his gaze from the top of the Red Earth Continent, turned to look at the reactions of his companions, and said calmly, "Why, are you so surprised? ”

"Maude, what the hell are you thinking? That's the Draconian......"

After Luo reacted, he frowned and looked at Maude.

Maude looked at Law calmly.

"It is precisely because they are Tianlong people that they can let the navy eat and drink well for Bei Bo and them, and finally send Bei Bo and them back obediently."

"But have you thought about the consequences?"

"Then do you want to save Bebo?"

Maud asked rhetorically.

Luo said in a deep voice: "I think, but not in this way that will make us all fall into the mire. ”

"Ho Ho ......"

Lafayette took over the conversation and said seriously: "Once we attack the Celestial Dragons, no matter what the result is, we will definitely face a crazy pursuit from the World Government and the Navy. ”

"Lafayette, are you scared?"

Maud gave Lafayette a serious look.

"No, Captain's decision, I'm genuinely excited."

Lafayette shook his head, his lips as red as blood, and slowly grinned in an exaggerated arc.

It is to follow such a captain that you can appreciate the scenery that ordinary people cannot touch in their lifetime.

He, in just a few seconds after listening to Maude's decision, was already impatient.

Looking at Lafayette's reaction, Maud smiled slightly.

Lafayette, a companion who had gambled everything on him at the beginning, never let him down.

The look of surprise on Jaya's face gradually calmed down.

Her idea is simple: to move forward and retreat with the team.

Luo opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.

When his emotions cooled down a little, he realized how stupid his actions had just been.

Convince Maud to give up the decision or something.

This kind of thing......

It is impossible to know earlier.

Luo slowly closed his mouth and sighed in his heart.

Even though Maud had made the decision to help him save Bebo, Law was not happy at all.

"Some call the D-ones the enemies of God."

In Luo's mind, the words that the man he respected had said to him inexplicably.

"Mr. Corazon, perhaps the D-Ones are natural enemies of the gods, but...... The one who is really a threat to God is not necessarily the D-one, such as the man in front of me. ”

"He saved me, just like you, Mr. Corazon."

"I want to live freely, as you say, Mr. Corazon......"

"But ......"

"I can't just take the favor."

"If you can, even if you don't delve into what this rough fate really means, even if you put aside freedom, it doesn't matter, now, in the future...... I want to do something for Maude. ”

Luo lowered his head slightly, thinking silently in his heart.

Perona, whose body was wrapped in layers of bandages, slowly floated in the air past the contemplative Luo and came to Maude.

"Maude...... Are you really going to take action against the Draconians? ”

As Perona spoke, her eyes were covered with clearly visible shadows.

seem

When talking about the Draconian, it touches her nightmarish memories hidden deep in her heart.

And in fact,

The reason why her country perished was because of the Celestial Dragons......

"Absolutely."

Maud nodded towards Perona.

Perona hesitated, "But, it's ......."

Some of the things I wanted to say were stubbornly blocked in my throat, and I couldn't say anything.

"How?"

Maud looked at Perona's strange reaction in confusion.

Perona's eyes lowered and she forced a smile, "It's nothing. ”

As he spoke, he turned and floated back to Maud's hospital bed made out of shadows.

On the way, when he passed by Bailey, who was about to end the duration of the negative buff, he threw a negative ghost at Bailey with his backhand to release a little emotion.

"Wo, wo wants to make a chicken leg bone ...... in the next life"

Bailey, who was once again passed through his body by the negative ghost, was lying on the ground with a gloomy head and a negative face.

Maud looked at Perona's back, puzzled, and thought to herself that it was time to extend an invitation to Perona.

In terms of identity, Perona is not an official member of the Pirates......

Half an hour later.

The mast ships of the Monk Pirates and the Hawkins Pirates, as well as the submarines of the Hearts Pirates, left the Chambord Islands one after another.

After sailing to the open sea.

Jaya activated her abilities and took control of two pirate ships and a submarine, keeping them away from the surface and floating into the air.

"Huh? This is...... The Golden Lion's Piao Fruit ability? ”

"How could it be ...... in that woman's hands"

After seeing Jaya use the ability of the fluttering fruit, many of the crew members of the Strange Monk Pirates and the Hawkins Pirates were all shocked.

It's only been about a week since the war began.

The people on the sea have just begun to exert their efforts to find the whereabouts of these top fruits.

however

The fluttering fruit in it has already fallen into the hands of the Maude Pirates......!!!

Rao is Xia Qi, who was also a little surprised.

With a lot of information in her hands, her thoughts turned and she touched on her past experiences and what she had seen and heard in the Pirates.

Suddenly, the fragments of information were silently combined, allowing Xia Qi to roughly confirm the reason why the Piao Piao Fruit was in the hands of the Maude Pirates.

So, only Law was taken to Marin Vando by Maude......

"Do you still have this ability?"

Xia Qi's eyes were shocked, and he glanced at Luo without a trace.

"The World Government and the Navy are aware of this, so they are taking action against the Hearts Pirates?"

"No wonder it is so important that even the generals have been dispatched......"

Thinking of the operation led by the pheasant, Xia Qi thought that his guess was getting closer and closer to the truth.

didn't show more abnormalities on his face, Xia Qi suppressed the surprise in his heart.

Under Jaya's control, the two mast boats and the submarine floated out of the sea and headed straight for the clouds in the sky.

It wasn't until it passed through the clouds that it slowly stopped.

Above the clouds, the massive three-masted ship of terror floats silently high in the sky.

If you get a bird's-eye view of the horror three-masted ship from a higher altitude.

Well, that's pretty much how the three-masted ship was constructed

The perimeter is a ring of high walls and a red-lipped megatooth entrance, with a circular island in the center.

Other than that, it's basically hollowed out.

Initially

Maud intends to fill the hollowed out area of the Terror Three-Mag with rock or steel.

However, Jaya's fluttering fruit abilities were still in the exploration stage, so the idea was put on hold for the time being, and instead a cloud of water was used to fill the hollow area of the terrifying three-masted ship.

And this cloud of water condensed between the island and the high wall is just right to moor the Stygian, as well as the respective pirate ships of the Hawkins Pirates, the Strange Monk Pirates, and the Hearts Pirates that are now being sent up by Jaya.

Jaya drove her mind and slowly sent two mast ships and a submarine to the surface of the terrifying three-masted ship.

At this time.

The crews of the Hawkins Pirates and the Monster Monk Pirates are already stunned.

The combination of the terrifying three-masted ship and the fluttering fruit gives them a strong sense of déjà vu that is different from controlling an island.

After all, an island is an island, and a ship is a ship.

Hawkins silently looked at the terrifying triplex floating above the clouds, his gaze falling on the massive mass of water on the bottom of the terrifying trimas.

It occurred to him that he could load the bottom of the terrifying three-masted ship with great firepower.

Then, in front of such a terrifying three-masted ship, the Navy's demon slaying order is a younger brother.

Hawkins's sudden idea actually coincides with Maude's idea of transforming the horror three-masted ship.

"With such a ship and the ability to flutter fruit, you don't have to worry about being targeted by the navy at all, that's what ...... Is Maud really confident?"

In a short period of time, Hawkins thought of a lot of things.

Xia Qi comforted Perona while looking at Jaya, who was struggling to use her powers.

"Piao Piao Fruit is one of the most difficult abilities in the superhuman system to master, and it is really an outstanding talent to be able to do this in such a short period of time."

Xia Qi muttered to himself.

Thinking back to the time when Shiji first ate the Piao Piao fruit, when he first started to use his abilities, it was really full of jokes.

Drawn out of Shiki's memories by Jaya's fluttering fruit ability, Xia Qi couldn't help but sigh softly, and inevitably sighed again.

After the ship was stopped, everyone boarded the terrifying three-masted ship one by one.

Jim took the lead in carrying Ulki, who was seriously injured and unconscious, to the infirmary.

Jim looked pleased.

Jaya's eyes widened slightly, watching Jim's back as he walked briskly towards the castle.

Perona, who could barely float in mid-air, as well as Brooke and Bailey, all stared at Jim's brows and tried to remember Jim's expression just now.

It seems like...... Except for the expressionless or expressionless face, I can't see the slightest joy at all.

“？？？”

Suddenly, question marks popped up on the heads of the three people.

Maud stepped aside and explained, "It's because we decided to take action against the Draconians. ”

No!

It's your decision to make a move on the Draco people or something!

Perona, Brooke, and Bailey looked at Maude without a word.

Maud was watching Jim's back in the distance, not noticing Perona's eyes, and said seriously:

"After all...... Jim's dream is to defeat those who are on the high. ”

"Ah, is the big man's dream to defeat the Draconian?"

Perona was taken aback.

Brooke's mouth opened wide and sighed, "I can't even think about defeating the Draconians or something, yo ho ho ho ......"

"But we're going to defeat the Draconians next, right?"

Philo, who took off the crow mask, sounded like a mosquito.

"Ga ......"

Brooke's laughter came to an abrupt end.

yes, I'm going to fight the Draconians next......

I don't know what to expect.

Brooke's eyes suddenly darkened.

This may be his chance to prove that he is worthy of the Maude Pirates.

"Don't stand stupidly, and throw a welcome party for Hawkins and them while it's still early."

Maud beckoned to Brooke and walked towards the castle.

A strange color flashed in Hawkins' eyes.

For a moment, I felt like I had been accepted by Maude.

Even if it's an illusion.

It's not bad to feel like this being accepted by the strong.

The corners of Hawkins' mouth hooked, and he strode after Maude.

On the other hand, the rest of the crew is a little restrained.

………………

Two days later.

The news of Admiral Pheasant's defeat in front of Maude unsurprisingly spread throughout the Great Passage.

Navy Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Akainu sat on the sofa in the hospitality area, arms folded, and his eyes were gloomy.

On the other side of the sofa, there is a pheasant sitting scratching its head.

"You've disgraced the general, Kuzan."

Akainu squinted at the pheasant, and his tone was very stiff.

"Ahh

The pheasant yawned and said lazily: "Even the strongest man in the world was defeated by Maude's hands, and it is not a shame to be repelled by him." ”

Akainu's eyes were as cold as the wind, and he said in a deep voice: "You and I both know that Maude can defeat Whitebeard's ......."

"Crunch."

The office door was pushed open, interrupting Akainu's words.

The Sengoku leader walked into the office, followed by Lieutenant General Tsuru and Karp.

"Contact Maude."

Sengoku didn't care about what Akainu and Pheasant were talking about, and looked straight at the phone bug on the coffee table.

When the pheasant heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and simply picked up the phone bug and dialed the number.

A moment later.

The phone bug is connected.

"Your navy is quite skilled in hostage-taking."

Maude's mocking voice came through the phone bug.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly sank.

The phone bug that was watched by the bigwigs present secreted sweat droplets.
