Chapter 284: They are waiting for you

Chapter 284 They are waiting for you
"Saul hit the Hailou stone bullet to my feet in order to get me to accept the'relic' and try to escape the predicament."
"I know the situation at the time and know which choice is the most correct, but..."
Recalling the scene that day is still vivid.
That was the closest to death since Maude came to the world of One Piece.
"In that situation, if I turned around and escaped, even if I was lucky enough to escape, I might not be able to let it go for the rest of my life."
"And choosing to pull the trigger means that I will bet the only remaining'life' on this gun."
"At that time, I never considered the consequences."
"I just thought...Sanny is already in a safe place, so I have no worries."
"Even so, the ‘dominant’ that I had at the time could only be entangled and covered, and there was still a far-reaching distance from ‘release’."
"Fortunately, the old gun that sent me did not disappoint me."
"Under the guidance of the old gun, I successfully shot that shot."
"Actually, my thought at the time was more...I wanted to shoot Karp."
At Xia Qi's request, Maude briefly replayed the situation at that time with a narrative. When the words reached this point, his face showed a self-deprecating color.
"It's naive to think about it now."
"Shoot Karp..."
Xia Qi pursed her lips and smiled, pinching the cigarette that was about to burn to the end in the ashtray.
Having personally experienced the two great eras before and after, she didn't think this idea was naive.
In this sea full of thrills, the will to follow through is sometimes more important than a strong body.
"Haha."
Reilly smiled unobstructed, raised his hand to pick up the wine bottle, helped Maud pour the wine, and asked casually: "Then how domineering are you now?"
"It's not high, it's not top-notch, but it's not far behind. At least, there is no problem with winding release."
"amazing."
Lei Li looked at the budding junior next to him, and couldn't help but sigh, and gradually felt a feeling that the waves had already been shot on the beach.
Maude smiled humbly.
From the side, Brook looked at his captain.
"Domineering, Jaya and Lafayette will too, and I don't even know what it is..."
Brooke's gaze fell, glanced at the sword, and muttered silently in his heart.
If you don't want to hold back, you must master the advanced technique called domineering as soon as possible.
Brook secretly made up his mind.
After listening to Maud's personal story, Reilly began to ask about the old guys.
After hearing Jaya talk about Jabbas having to become bald in old age, Reilly almost fell off his chair with a smile.
"The guy used to pay great attention to hair, and sometimes laughed at my'hair volume' for being too small and not handsome enough. I didn't expect him to have a single piece of hair left, haha..."
Raleigh laughed until tears burst out.
Xia Qi glanced at Lei Li, who was so happy that he was silent and lit another cigarette.
Old guys like them who have reached their age, once touched the past, they are naturally more willing to enjoy the joy, rather than sorrow that time is gone forever.
However, Shaqi hadn't seen Raleigh so happy for many years.
However, she can understand Raleigh's feelings.
Mostly just seeing Maud and Jaya is enough to make Rayleigh's mind the beautiful pictures that existed in the passionate years.
Thinking of this, Xia Qi smiled and raised his finger to shake the soot.
When everyone was talking about it, Xia Qi suddenly said: "Maud, you are not here to enter the new world, right?"
"Ok."
Maude nodded.
Xia Qi smiled and asked, "Is it for the position of Qiwuhai?"
Maude lifted his eyes to look at Xia Qi, the surprise in his eyes fleeting.
He didn't intend to cover up the matter, but he didn't expect Xia Qi to guess it.
Xia Qi keenly caught Maude's fleeting surprise, and knew that his guess through a lot of intelligence was correct.
Raleigh looked at Maude in surprise. He obviously didn't know Maude came to the Chambord Islands this time for the position of Qiwuhai.
Being watched by the two seniors, Maude also generously admitted: "Yes, I started with Moria, not for fame, but to directly replace Moria's Qiwuhai position."
Xia Qi chuckled, and did not further question Maude's motives for becoming Qiwuhai, and at the same time determined that it would be sooner or later that Maude would succeed him as Qiwuhai.
Because, the act of personally overthrowing Moria is a ticket with the highest priority to the seat of Qiwuhai.
It was also one of the important basis for her to speculate that Maude wanted to become Qiwuhai.
"Maude, before you take over as Qiwuhai, you have to solve some small problems on the island."
"such as?"
Maude looked at Xia Qi curiously.
Xia Qi breathed out smoke and smiled: "In addition to you and Lafayette, seven other supernovas with a reward of over 100 million are also on the Chambord Islands this year."
"They actually arrived a while earlier than you, but after they finished coating the boat, they didn't go to Murloc Island immediately, but chose to stay on the island. Do you know why?"
Maude heard this and shook his head.
Xia Qi smiled more seriously, and said seriously: "Because they are waiting for you specially."
"Wait for me specifically?"
Maude was quite surprised.
Before Xia Qi mentioned this, he hadn't paid attention to other supernovas at all. How could he have thought that other supernovas would wait for him in the Chambord Islands.
Xia Qi nodded and explained: "A newcomer who can become a supernova is not an easy one, and you are both a supernova. If you are too popular, you will naturally attract their jealousy."
"This is fine too?"
Maude was drunk.
Xia Qi smiled and said: "They are always in the limelight, and you are always in the limelight. It's not surprising that this is the case. They must have regarded you as a stepping stone."
"is it……"
Maude had a different color in his eyes, pinched his chin, but suddenly laughed.
"Auntie Xia, do you have detailed information about those guys?"
"Of course."
Xia Qi was originally a leader among the intelligence agents, and since she retired, she has been paying attention to the newcomers over the years, and she has the information about them at her fingertips.
After hearing this, Maude smiled happily.
"Can you sell me that information?"
"..."
Xia Qi looked at Maude in surprise.
It was unexpected that Maude would want this information.
She smiled and shook her head: "Don't be foolish, I won't collect money from cute juniors. You can take this information directly if you want it."
"Then I'm welcome."
Maude smiled.
.........
The clothing store at No. 47 Tree Island, Chambord Islands.
Cavendish is trying on a set of elegant noble clothes.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the shop, narcissistically looking at his handsome self in the mirror.
On the side, the female shopping guides and even the women who came to Cavendish in the store were all red-eyed, sinking into Cavendish's handsome appearance and unable to extricate themselves.
At this moment, a man rushed into the store.
"Captain, Maude is here!"
"Ok?"
Cavendish's face changed slightly, and his eyes sharpened in vain.
"Pay."
After throwing a word to his subordinates, Cavendish walked out of the women's pile like the wind, and disappeared into the sight of everyone in an instant.
The subordinate stared blankly at his own captain who disappeared without a trace, and said with a dull expression: "I haven't said where..."
at the same time.
The supernovae in the Chambord Islands learned the news that Maude had come to the island.
"It's here...!"
They were already impatient.
