Many eyes in the shadows followed the backs of Maude and his party in the distance.

To them, Maud was like a bunch of walking Baileys, making their eyes hot and itchy.

But if you can't do it, it's another matter.

After all, there are risks and benefits.

If you are not afraid of death, you can naturally fight hard.

It's done, it's fragrant and spicy.

To die is to wave goodbye to this wonderful world.

In addition to these people who are eyeing the head of the Maude Pirates, there are also some people who are worried about the potential changes that the Maude Pirates may bring.

Among them, there is this fan blade man.

His name is Buffalo, and he is one of the cadres of the Don Quixote family, and he is also the superhuman powerhouse.

And he came to Leviathan this time for a Devil Fruit.

"Bacardi. Maude ......"

Bafaro watched Maude and his party enter the city, wondering if he should let the family send a cadre to help him.

Originally, Bafaro would not have been so worried and cautious.

But Maude's recent tragic events on the Twin Islands are the source of Bafaro's unease.

In his opinion, the person who can do such a thing is either a murderer, a perverted madman or a violent maniac......

In short, it can't be a good bird.

People like this are the most terrifying.

If you encounter it on the street, you will be shot inexplicably.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and the image of Maud in his mind became more and more bloody.

"Uh......"

When his brain made up for the horror, Bafaro couldn't help but shudder.

After a few moments, Buffalo felt that this was bad.

After all, he was a cadre of Don Quixote, how could he be so useless.

"Oh, I'm a Don Quixote cadre!"

"It's not Bacardi. Maude? ”

"I'm not afraid at all, yes, I'm not afraid!"

Bafaro uses self-hypnosis to overcome the fear of being induced by Maude.

Not far away, someone noticed Buffalo's bowing of his head and broken thoughts.

"That guy who looks like a ball, can't he be mentally ill?"

"Weirdo, it's better for us to stay away......"

Several people glanced at Buffalo with a look of pity, and then deliberately took a detour to avoid Buffalo.

..............

"Thomas Shipyard is at the end of North Street on Cross Street, and where we are, it's the center point of Cross Street."

Betty, the toothless boy, takes Maud and the others to Cross Street in Dick City.

Along the way, he fulfilled his duties as a guide, explaining to Maud and them in detail the situation and layout of the city of Dick.

According to him, Dick City is run through four straight streets.

These four streets are collectively known as Cross Street, which is divided into East, South, West, and North Streets.

For example, the Thomas Shipyard that Maud is looking for is located at the end of North Cross Street, which is also the end of the "whale's mouth", with the rock wall in the back, which can also be said to be a dead end.

Choosing the location of the shipyard was something Maude couldn't figure out at first.

Betty quickly cleared up Maud's confusion.

In the Thomas Shipyard, which backs to the rock face, there is a current tunnel that leads directly to the outside of Leviathan.

All ships that have been built will eventually leave Leviathan Island through this current tunnel.

"You see, the big pillar leading to the head of the 'big whale' in front of you is the 'human-powered elevator' for the royal family and nobles, and it is also one of the forbidden areas that I specially noted in the tourist brochure."

"The army directly under the king will be stationed there twenty-four hours a day, so don't approach it rashly."

"Otherwise, those soldiers will kill you for no reason!"

"As for the Colosseum near the 'human ladder', if you are interested, I can take you inside to visit it now, there are many entertainment items in there."

"And I've heard that the Colosseum seems to be hosting some big event lately, and I've heard that there are plenty of prizes."

Betty pointed to a dominable stone pillar in front of her.

On the rock wall of the stone pillar, there are four elevator boxes suspended by chains, driven by human power, moving up and down.

The highest point to which the stone pillar leads is the capital of the Kingdom of Ahab on the "head of the whale" on Leviathan Island.

The pursuit of "extremely high" seems to be a common problem of every king in this world.

Whether it is a throne or a place where it dwells, it will only be placed on high ground.

One of the most symbolic is the holy land of Mary Joya on the Red Clay Continent.

However, most countries use the ladder to create "high ground" as a symbol of class disparities and distinctions.

However, the Kingdom of Ahab did not establish a stepped high ground in the belly of the island, but directly placed the capital on the "whale head" of Leviathan Island, which can be regarded as a leader.

Not far from the stone pillar of the human ladder is what Betty calls the Colosseum.

Much as Maude had imagined, the Colosseum was built in a perfect circle, not much different from the Roman Colosseum.

The only thing that is commendable is that it is about twice as large as an ordinary gladiatorial arena.

"A Colosseum event? It can't be some kind of martial arts tournament or something, right? ”

Maud looked at Betty.

This little guy who is only ten years old is like an adult in terms of tone of voice.

Because of this, Maud was very satisfied with his performance.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, but the most frequent events held in the Colosseum are mainly 'Fighting Beasts'."

Betty looked at Maude cautiously, and then glanced at Bailey, who was standing on Maude's shoulder.

Sensing Betty's gaze, Bailey bared his teeth, pretended to be vicious, and glared at Betty fiercely.

"Yes, I'm sorry!!"

Betty was startled by the look.

The legs, which had been stabilized all the way, began to swing again at this moment.

Syllable.

Maud slapped Bailey, the drama spirit.

After receiving Maude's palm, Bailey pursed his lips and immediately put away his fierce expression.

After letting Bailian divide it, Maud looked at Betty and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, let's go to Thomas Shipyard first." ”

He had little interest in this so-called fighting beast, and only wanted to get on a new ship as soon as possible.

"Okay, okay."

Betty took a deep breath and tried to calm her heartbeat.

These big brothers and sisters in front of him are rare high-quality guests for him, and he can't be easily neglected!

Betty gave Maud a sweet smile and continued to lead the way.

Under his leadership, the crowd walked through North Street and finally arrived at Thomas's Shipyard.

As soon as they arrived, a tall man in a suit immediately greeted them.

The tall man looked at Maude with a smile on his face and said humbly, "You are Bacardi. Maude, I've heard of the name for a long time, and when I see it today, it's really ......"

"We want to build a ship."

Maud unceremoniously interrupted the man's unnutritious nonsense.

When the man heard this, the smile on his face was still the same, and his posture was still very low.

He bent down slightly, made a welcome gesture pointing in the direction, and smiled: "Okay, please follow me to the VIP room for a detailed discussion." ”

His name was John Maynard Keynes, and his job at the shipyard was to negotiate.

Because the guests who docked were basically some arrogant pirates, over time, they also developed a skilled business ability to deal with hard stubble.

A few minutes later, Keynes led Maude and his party to the palatial VIP room.

Betty was in this kind of place for the first time, and she seemed very restrained.

Keynes is also a talent, even if he sees Betty's guide, he is not lazy in delivering tea to guests.

This kind of behavior, on the contrary, flattered Betty, and at the same time gave Maude and the others a good impression.

From the previous two sentences, Keynes could see that Maud was the type who liked to go straight to the point, so he stopped talking nonsense and began to negotiate the purchase of a ship.

"You're saying you want to order a ship made of Adam the Treasure Tree?"

After listening to Maude's direct request, Keynes had a slight look of embarrassment on his face.

"Can't do it?"

Maud looked at Keynes calmly.

Keynes immediately said:

"Please believe in the strength of Thomas Shipyard, it's just that the Treasure Tree Adam is an extremely rare shipbuilding material, and the price is ...... If you say the least, it will cost four or five billion, and most of the time, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it, you see......"

"Oh."

Maude nodded, gesturing Jim with a look.

Jim understood, untied the huge cloth bag he had carried all the way, and dumped the banknotes and gold and silver jewelry inside.

Whoa!

The VIP room was suddenly piled up with a hill of banknotes, and there were many gold jewelry embellishments on them.

Betty, who was eating pastry, looked at the money mountain that Jim poured out, and her eyes were almost stunned, and the pastry that had just entered her mouth was unfortunately stuck in her throat.

Jaya handed Betty a cup of tea in time to help him out.

Keynes's eyes widened in surprise at the large amount of Bailey piled on the ground.

He's hosted countless rookie pirates here.

However, it was the first time he had seen a rookie pirate group that could come up with so much money.

No wonder as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for Adam Tree.

Keynes turned to look at Maude, who had a calm face.

Bacardi. Maude......

This business negotiator, who has been dealing with pirates from all walks of life all year round, vaguely, seems to see an extraordinary prospect from the man in front of him.

"Is that enough?"

Maud said calmly.
