Lafayette and Jaya, who had eliminated the attackers, returned to Maude's side one after another.

They looked at the bodies of the three Marlet brothers lying on the street, but they didn't react.

From the moment Maude was bounty by the Navy, things like this kind of door-to-door trouble will only happen endlessly.

Needless to say, the navy, such as bounty hunters, and even those who are open-minded for money, want Maude's head worth more than 100 million.

"Only about 300,000."

Lafayette raised the thick stack of banknotes in his hand, the largest denomination of which was 2,000.

He chased after and killed a total of nineteen people, but only found about 300,000 Baileys.

This shows how poor this group of attackers tried to win Maude's bounty.

In fact, most pirates and bounty hunters are not wealthy.

They have lived for many years licking blood on the tip of a knife, and they have no idea which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.

In this environment, once they "earn" money, they will only use it to squander it for pleasure as soon as possible.

Of course, there are also some pirates who like to "store" the looted treasure on remote and uninhabited islands, or use it to constantly grow their team.

As for bounty hunters, as soon as they reach age, they will also start saving money and waiting for retirement.

Therefore, if you want to maximize the benefits of black eating black, it is best to find some slightly famous pirate groups.

"It's so little, barely enough for a meal."

Maud glanced at the loot in Lafayette's hand and shook his head slightly.

"Is it time to eat?"

Hearing the word "eat", Bailey, who was lying on Jim's bald head, suddenly stood up.

Maud ignored Bailey, who was in his mood in an instant, and turned to look at Betty, who was trembling and hugging Jim's thigh.

"Betty, is there a tavern in the city that specializes in pirates?"

"Yes, yes, but it's chaotic and dangerous."

"Then do you dare to take us there?"

Maud looked at Betty with a smile in her eyes, who was gradually calming down.

Betty hesitated, then nodded heavily.

He didn't want to lose Maude as a good customer.

"Lead the way."

Maude smiled.

When you go to a tavern that specializes in pirate business, of course, it's not just for eating and drinking, but to ask about the pirates in Dick City.

Although this is not a place of lawlessness, it does not prevent Maud from the idea of getting some money from his peers.

When they had only walked a little way, they saw a heavily armed army coming in a mighty way, and at a glance, there were hundreds of them.

This army marched in formation, and the sonorous sound between the clashes of iron armor made this army exude a majestic momentum.

Seeing the army of 100 people approaching from the front, Betty, who was leading the way in front, couldn't help but stop.

When facing the army, he was relatively calm when he did not break the law, and at the same time he knew the motives of the army to come here.

"Maude Big Brother ......"

Betty looked back timidly at Maude.

Maud didn't say anything, took a few steps forward, and passed Betty, blocking the scrutinizing gaze of the army.

The man at the head of the army was a middle-aged man in silver armor and armed with a double-edged axe.

He was examining Maude, and after a few glances, he recognized Maude's identity in an instant.

A reward of 100 million Bacardi. Hammond......

The middle-aged man's heart froze.

The bounty was the only criterion that the soldiers used to judge the strength of the pirates.

And the more than 100 million pirates are worthy of attention.

While the middle-aged man was looking at Maude, Maude was also looking at the middle-aged man.

The strength is okay.

After judging the middle-aged man's background, Maude glanced at the rest of the soldiers out of the corner of his eye.

These soldiers are not fancy either, they are much stronger than the trash fish pirates they usually encounter.

With these elite soldiers present, it is no wonder that the kingdom of Ahab dares to receive pirates.

After all, strength is the capital that can mess around.

Maude sighed in her heart.

Both sides looked at each other, neither of them spoke.

A few seconds later, an armored soldier came to the middle-aged man and whispered, "Captain Matthew, the people who were killed are the three brothers of the bounty hunter Marlet. ”

The middle-aged man who was called Matthew nodded when he heard this, and immediately stared at Maude, and said with a solemn expression: "You killed people in the street, violating Article 9 of the management regulations, and should be punished as a crime." ”

"Oh?"

Maud looked at Matthew with interest.

The direct declaration of guilt without asking the reason can be seen from the hegemony of the army of the kingdom of Ahab in maintaining order.

"And then?"

Maude's face was calm.

Matthew was not weakened because Maude was a sea thief with a bounty of more than 100 million, and said coldly:

"You have two choices, one is to be punished with sixty days of hard labor, and the other is to pay two million Baileys for exemption each."

“……”

Maud was silent.

Lafayette Jaya and the others looked surprised.

Therefore, the existence of this kind of penal regulation is to make money, right?

And human lives are worth two million Baileys?

Or maybe because the deceased was a bounty hunter from outside the island, the conviction was so hasty?

If this is the case, it is no wonder that the so-called three Marlet brothers dare to do it in the street.

After all, compared to the high bounty, the six million Bailey's waiver money is really nothing.

Such speculation is close to the truth.

If the person killed is a citizen of the country, the penalty is more than tripled.

And because the perpetrator was a pirate, Matthew didn't plan to investigate the cause of this incident at all.

The fine is and it's over.

Afterwards, according to the information recorded in the [Register], he had to go to the residence of the three Marlet brothers to take over the [inheritance] they left behind.

All in all, it's all about the money.

This is the truth laid down by the great king.

"Haha."

After a moment, Maude burst out laughing.

The country of Ahab on Leviathan is quite interesting, and the kingdom of Ahab who has never met these rules seems to be not an ordinary person.

O country......

If you run it in this way, you can really sit and collect money.

Looking at Maude who laughed out loud, the soldiers of the army and even Matthew all had displeasure in their eyes.

Maud slowly stopped laughing, and with a bang, pulled out a thousand birds.

Crash!

The act of drawing their swords made the well-trained soldiers draw their weapons as soon as possible.

Maud slashed his sword in front of him, calmly looking at the soldiers who were on guard.

If the soldiers who were exercising royal power had taken the trouble to ask the reason before they were guilty, or had been polite, Maud would not have drawn their swords directly.

He will be scrupled by the new ship, but it does not mean that he will give in to this group of soldiers.

"What if I don't?"

Maud's eyes were like knives, and he swept past the soldiers.

The vigorous momentum, like a large amount of blood slamming down on the soldiers' bodies, made them inexplicably feel a heavy feeling like being filled with lead.

"This guy ......"

Matthew's face changed.

Just by feeling the aura full of "blood" head-on, this sergeant with a hundred people and above the rank of 100 people deeply realized the horror of Maude.

It's not strength, it's the aura that is poured out of life and blood.

The person in front of him is really a ruthless man who will slaughter the town!

"Captain Matthew, what are you doing here?!"

As the arrows and crossbows were drawn, a voice with anger came over.

Everyone followed the sound, but it was Keynes who came in a hurry.

"Lord Keynes."

Matthew looked at the visitor and bowed to salute, behaving very politely.

You know, Thomas's shipyard generates a lot of revenue for the kingdom of Ahab every year, so it is deeply loved by the king who values money very much, and even develops into marriage......

Keynes coldly glanced at the soldier who showed his weapon, and finally looked at Matthew, and said in a deep voice:

"This Mr. Maud is a guest of our Thomas Shipyard, and I don't care what happens here, but you have to pay for your faux pas."

“……”

Matthew's eyes changed slightly, and he raised his hand to make a gesture for the soldiers to put away their weapons.

Subsequently, Matthew decisively removed his helmet and made an unexpected move.

He knelt down on one knee in front of Maude.

Immediately afterward, the soldiers behind him made the same move.

On both sides of the long street, the residents who continued to pay attention to this side watched this scene in disbelief.

Keynes didn't react.

According to the rules laid down by the greedy king, if the interests are damaged, let alone kneel down and apologize, there is no hesitation in cutting off the heads of this group of soldiers.

The kingdom of Ahab, under the rule of that greedy king, was such a country where money reigned

Knowing the roots, like Keynes, felt that it was normal for Matthew and other soldiers to kneel down and apologize.

However, even the surrounding residents found it incredible, let alone Maude and others, who were outsiders.

"This ......"

Maud looked at Matthew and the other soldiers who were kneeling on one knee in surprise.

The country......

What the hell is going on.
