Chapter 728: Join if you can't beat

  Chapter 728 Join in if you can't beat it
The turmoil caused by the  Advance City incident has not yet subsided, and the latest reward order updated by the Navy Headquarters has shocked the world again.
  With the efforts of the gull and the telephone bug fax machine, in less than a day, Maud’s new rewards spread all over the world.
  Whether it is the pirate of the great waterway or the pirate of the new world.
  In their view, Maude, who has a bounty of 4.48 billion, is already a veritable four emperor.
   and he is still an extremely young four emperor.
  In just a few days, countless eyes once again focused on Maude.
  In the underground dark world, Maud’s heads have always been very valuable, and the sum of the rewards offered is at least more than two billion.
  With this update of the Navy, the organization responsible for unifying and issuing rewards, not only did not remove Maude’s rewards in the underground world, but like a prank, it abruptly increased Maude’s rewards to 4.5 billion.
  This amount is 20 million more than the official reward issued by the Navy.
  The number of rewards is very tempting.
  But the vast majority of bounty hunters didn’t even bother with Maude.
What about   9 billion?
What is the difference between    and a loft hanging in the air.
  Most people are sane.
   can be relative, and there are also people who lack reason.
  Although there are not many, there are indeed such a group of people who are delusional to get the mod bounty.
   Greed, desire.
  This is one of the norms of the world.
  New world.
  The country of harmony, the island of ghosts.
   Yamato held Maud’s latest reward order, secretly surprised.
  A reward for this handsome man who is younger than her in the photo has actually achieved the same level as her father.
  4.48 billion.
  How magical it is to put this amount on a man who has been less than twenty years old.
   Yamato stared at Maud in the photo of the reward, and his heart was turbulent.
  After a while, Yamato put down the reward order and looked at the closed door.
   "Hurry up and bring the phone bug to Jabba, but..."
   Yamato frowned, picked up the mace when he got up, hung it behind him, and walked towards the door.
  Crunch.
   Pushing open the door, Yamato walked out of the room and onto the corridor.
   After standing still for a second or two, Yamato walked to the left.
   Only a few meters away, Yamato was very keen to hear a slight rustle from the pillar above.
  You don’t need to look at it to know that the rustling sound is the movement made by the little animal shikigami that the king uses for monitoring.
  She was monitored.
  This is also the reason why she has not been able to send the phone worm to Jabba after two or three days after getting the phone worm.
  As for why the king sent Shijin to watch her, it must be Jhin who is playing tricks in it.
   "Damn it."
  Dahe is very angry, but helpless.
  She knew very well that the king’s monitoring gods were scattered in every corner of the castle.
  In this case, she didn't even dare to visit Jabba again.
  Because the monitoring shikigami can not only transmit images, but also sounds.
  If you rush to find Jabba, let alone send the phone bug, maybe if Jabba accidentally exits, he will expose the plan to the royalists.
   Yamato wandered aimlessly inside the castle.
  No matter where she goes, there are seven or eight monitoring shikigami following.
   is simply monitoring in all directions without dead ends.
   Yamato sighed in his heart, pretending to go to the kitchen and ask for something to eat, then returned to the room.
at the same time.
  In the cell.
  Jabba quietly stared at the faint light outside the jail.
  He is waiting for Yamato's arrival.
  But two or three days have passed, but there is no movement at all, and I don’t know what happened on Yamato’s side.
  Jabba is a little worried, but besides, he can do nothing but wait patiently for the good news.
  Of course, there may be bad news.
  In any case, he was mentally prepared.
  Terror three-masted ship, castle research room.
  This is a research room with complete equipment and sufficient space. It is also specially prepared by Maude for Luo.
  The significance of the existence of the research laboratory is not to allow Luo to study medical skills, but to study the theoretical feasibility and practical possibilities of [chimerism].
  This research topic taken from the mystery of Blackbeard's body, if breakthrough progress can be made, the strength of each main battle member of the team can be qualitatively improved.
  In addition to the research on the [chimera], there is also the research on [the evil drug] obtained from Murloc Island that can greatly increase the strength of people in a short time.
  If it can get rid of the side effects of evil drugs, this kind of medicine that can be used to increase power will become a medicine that makes all forces jealous.
  But whether it will succeed or not is still an unknown.
  Compared with this, the priority of chimera research is higher.
  If the research on [chimerism] succeeds, it means that the idea of ​​a person with double fruit ability will become a reality.
  At that time, Maude may consider eating the fruit of the shock.
  Research room.
Luo, dressed in a white coat, is busy working in front of various precision instruments.
  Five days have passed since the advancing city incident ended, and the injuries he suffered on the battlefield have not yet fully recovered.
  Even so, he was unwilling to waste time on the premise that he thought his physical condition was acceptable, so he quickly invested in research.
  In order to live up to Maud’s expectations, Luo wanted to shorten the time for the research results as much as possible.
   Luo's practice of working regardless of his body was seen by Maude.
  Maud hoped that Luo would take care of the injury before putting it into work. He also tried to persuade him several times.
   But Luo is too stubborn to listen to persuasion at all.
  Maud had no choice but to give up.
  And this research can only be done by Luo alone.
  The only help in the team that can provide Luo is labor.
  "With the ability to operate on fruit, it is not difficult to put two different genes together, but ensuring coexistence and activity is the biggest problem."
  Luo slowly put down the notebook in his hand full of notes, his eyes were contemplative.
  Merging two different genes, this sounds like a fantasy, I am afraid that no doctor can do it.
  But in the face of the ability of the fruit of surgery, it is really nothing.
  Just.
  The most powerful part of the surgical fruit is only the operability.
  Operability alone is not enough to achieve a vision.
  Chimeric genes are just the first step, and every subsequent step is the real problem.
  How to step past will be the key to successful research.
  Luo lowered his head in thought, and while madly torturing his brain cells, he held a pen and paper and kept writing.
  He is alone in the huge research room.
  No one can relieve his pressure, and no one can discuss with him.
  "Call—"
  After a long time, Luo finally got nothing, first put down the pen, and then rubbed his forehead vigorously.
This research-
  Undoubtedly, there is a long way to go.
  But for Mord, no matter how much effort and effort it takes, Luo will do his best to complete it.
  "Turn it down and start over."
  Luo murmured softly, categorizing the thick pile of materials into the corner.
  This action means that the energy he invested in before was thrown into the trash can like waste paper.
  Study room.
   Jia Ya brought a bowl of hot nutritious soup and came to the door of the research room.
  Under the gate, there are untouched meals that have become cold.
  Jaya looked down at the food, then knocked on the door of the research room.
  After a while.
   Luo's impatient voice came from the research room.
   "Just leave it alone."
  Luo knew that if he could knock on the door and disturb him at this time, it would be a matter of delivering food.
  It's just that he is not in the mood to eat now.
   Hearing Luo's words, Jia Ya didn't say anything, but directly opened the door and walked into the research room.
  Originally, she was only responsible for helping Luo prepare food, but Beibo, who was responsible for sending Luo to eat, accidentally said something that Luo hadn't touched food at all.
  So, the one who is most uncomfortable with wasting food has to come in person.
  Luo, who was immersed in work, suddenly became angry when he heard the door opening.
   "I didn't let you put..."
   Luo spoke out with anger, and stopped abruptly after seeing that the person pushing the door was Jia Ya.
  In the whole team, there are not many people whom Luo can respect, and Jia Ya is one.
   Suppressing the anger that swayed from his heart, Luo silently looked at Jaya who strode over.
   Jia Ya handed the hot nutritious soup to Luo.
   "Drink up and I'll leave."
  "..."
  Luo had no choice but to stop his work and took the nutrient soup that Jia Ya handed over. After measuring the temperature, he drank the nutritious soup in one breath.
"I am very busy."
   Luo returned the empty bowl to Jaya, and the underlying meaning of this sentence is, don’t bother me if it’s okay.
   "Thank you, Luo."
  Jaya didn't care. After taking the empty bowl, she turned around and left.
   Luo watched Jia Ya leave, and then continued to work.
  The nutrient soup that had just flowed into his stomach turned into wisps of heat and spread to all parts of the body, alleviating his fatigue to a certain extent.
  Experiencing the effects of nutritious soup, Luo had to admit that although Jia Ya's arrival interrupted his thoughts, this bowl of hot soup greatly increased his battery life.
  Jaya left the research room, took away the cold food before leaving, and came all the way to the entrance of the corridor.
  Maud leaned back on the wall next to the corridor entrance, tilting his head to look at Jaya who came over.
   "Sure enough, you still have to work, Sister Ya."
   "If you hadn't confessed to the waste of food, I would definitely punish Luo for a while."
  Jaya came to Maude and shook her head slightly.
  Maud smiled.
  He did not expect that Luo, who had to use his lips to express a negative attitude even when he was training his physical strength, now started research, but it was a waste of sleep and food.
  Jia asked curiously: "What exactly is Luo studying?"
  "A technique for those with double-fruit ability. If we can successfully study it, we can eat the second devil fruit."
  Faced with Jaya’s doubts, Maude did not hide it.
  This research, from the moment it started, no one else in the team knew about it.
   "Dual fruit ability?"
  Jia Ya was slightly startled when he heard the words.
  Reminiscent of the devil fruits currently in Maude’s collection, and could not help but realize the importance of this technology.
  But—
   "This kind of thing... is it realistic?"
  Jaya has doubts about this violation of common sense.
  Maud put his index finger against his chin, and said seriously: "I can only say that the possibility of success is still there."
   "If it succeeds, Lafayette and the others should be very happy."
  Jaya opened her eyes a little, and pointedly: "Maud, you have also noticed, now they are full of thoughts about how to become stronger as soon as possible."
"Ok."
Maude nodded slowly, and smiled: "The battle to advance the city seems to have caused them to suffer a blow, but this is not a bad thing. After all, only a hard-working defeat can people quickly recognize the status quo, and only recognize it. Only by the status quo can we see the way forward."
   "Maud, they are just worried that they will not be able to keep up with you, but keeping up with you is not a simple matter."
  Jaya said softly.
"Uh…"
  Maud suddenly became dumbfounded.
   "I should go to prepare dinner."
  Jaya left a sentence and turned to the corridor.
  Maud watched Jia Ya walk down the corridor, and then glanced at the direction of the research room.
  On the research of chimerism, Luo can only work on it alone. Naturally, the progress of the research cannot be expected.
  But Maude still hopes that this research will be successful as soon as possible.
  The night falls.
  As usual, Jia Ya prepared a table of supplements for everyone.
  Now that Sanji is in charge, Jaya doesn’t have to be so tired when she prepares cooking.
  A large table of rich dishes was quickly swept away.
  After dinner, the straw hat group didn’t care about digestion problems at all, and immediately plunged into high-intensity training.
  This is the case every day.
  Obviously, the war that took place in the advancement of the city stimulated them severely.
  They are once again clearly aware of their own weaknesses, and once again clearly aware of the strengths of the powerful in the new world.
   is not enough, not enough...
  A voice rang in their minds all the time.
   Lafayette, who also realized that they were not strong enough, started high-intensity devil training in their idle time.
  Only based on their strength and training alone, it is actually difficult to go further.
  If you want to become stronger as soon as possible, you still have to fight through life and death.
  As everyone went to train outside the castle one by one, the restaurant suddenly became quite deserted.
"Small card."
  In the main position, Maude looked at Cavendish who was still in the dining room.
   Hearing Maude’s call, Cavendish tilted his head to look at Maude who was sitting on the main seat.
  He now defaults to the name Xiaoka.
   is mainly because the objection is invalid.
  Maud looked at Cavendish and asked, "How did you think about it these two days?"
  Two days ago, Maude offered to let Cavendish be attached to his pirate group.
   Facing Maude’s invitation, Cavendish, the captain of a ship, did not agree on the spot.
  So Maude gave Cavendish two days to think about it.
   Cavendish slowly put down his tea cup and sighed quietly.
  "From today, there will be no more handsome pirates in the world."
  This beautiful man with his own pursuit finally decided to be attached to Maude.
  After all, whether it is the ability to make headlines or other abilities, Cavendish can't beat Maud at all.
   Then, there is only one choice left for him—
  Join if you can’t beat it.
  For this choice, Cavendish actually did not resist.
Or.
  It is also an honor to be a subordinate of Maude.
  Maud looked at Cavendish and smiled slightly.
   "Welcome."
  He held out his hand at Cavendish.
  From this moment on, the Maud Pirates has added a considerable combat power.
