Chapter 404: Shadow Box and Devil Fruit

If Maude did not come to this world.
Those who prevent the war will be the Straw Hat Pirates.
The person who defeated Krokdal would be Straw Hat Luffy.
But here he is.
The result is destined, but the process has undergone some changes.
In the sense, the person who prevented the war was Maud.
The last person to kill Krokdal was also Maud.
just,
Under Maude's operation, the person who knocked down Krokdal and safely rescued the King Cobra of Alabastan was indeed Straw Hat Luffy.
But the world government obviously will not recognize the fact that the people who resolved the Arabastan crisis are a group of rookie pirates.
Even more would not admit that Krokdal used the power of Qiwuhai's identity to implement the plan to steal the country.
In order to cover up these facts, there was also this call to inform.
Qi Wuhai wanted to steal the country?
Oh it's all right.
We will let the other Qiwuhai eliminate the threat.
presumably,
For the world government, it is undoubtedly a good thing that Mod, who is also Qiwuhai, is also in Alabastan.
Just make up the fact that Maud is under the order of the world government and cooperated with the navy of the headquarters, and then successfully prevented Krokdal.
It also invisibly eliminated part of the bad influence brought by the Qiwuhai identity.
One pass operation down.
I just want to tell the world a fact.
That is—you see, everything is under control.
Maude found it interesting.
Naturally, I don't want the world government to do what it wants.
After all, he is not a navy who can only obey orders.
Small didn't know what Maud wanted to do.
What is certain is...
What Maude said made him very uncomfortable.
He couldn't refute the partiality.
After a while.
The reinforcements sent by the navy hadn't arrived yet, and all the navies headed by Tina woke up.
"Tina is angry!"
Tina, who finally woke up, rushed towards Maud angrily after she figured out the situation.
"Business matters."
Smogg came out at the right time and stopped Tina who was stunned by anger.
"Step aside!"
Tina said coldly.
Small was unmoved, thinking that if you rushed to Maude, the end result would only be to lie down again.
"Similarly, Tina won't say it for the third time, get away!"
But Tina was really angry, even if she was dead, she would punch Maude severely to eliminate her anger.
Smogg was able to appreciate Tina's mood, but he didn't want to see Tina being played with by Mord again.
After all,
Their strength is not enough in front of Maude.
"The reinforcements dispatched by the headquarters are coming soon. The top priority is to integrate the forces and block the escape path of the Devil's Son and the Straw Hat gang instead of doing something meaningless."
In order to prevent Tina from jumping into the pit, Smogg quickly moved out the military order from the headquarters.
Tina immediately clenched her fists when she heard the words.
The murderous eyes directly crossed Smogg and fell on the smiling man.
Compared to the task of retrieving a spot from Maude, meeting with reinforcements, and successfully arresting Nicole Robin and the Straw Hat group, it is obviously more important.
In desperation, Tina could only give up.
Half an hour passed.
All the reinforcements sent by the headquarters arrived. There were as many as 30 warships, but the size of the warships was not large.
Nevertheless, it is still powerful.
Such a handwriting made Maude a little surprised.
but,
He didn't intend to get involved with this matter.
With the arrival of reinforcements, all the navies mobilized one after another to go to various coastal and offshore areas.
Tina's warship also sailed away from the coast, towards the route where the Straw Hat Pirates were most likely to escape.
At the bow.
Watching the warships go away, Perona's eyes were full of shock, and she muttered in a low voice, "With so many troops, can the straw hats escape?"
"Ah."
Maude smiled.
There are indeed many troops.
But the territory of Alabastan is very large, and the navy's course of action is to block all escape routes along the coast.
In this way, the rare forces will only be scattered around and lose their original advantage.
Invisibly, it also increased the chance of the straw hat group successfully escaping.
Furthermore, if the dragon hasn't left yet, it is impossible to say that Alabastan will usher in a large-scale artificial rainfall.
Regardless of whether the straw hats can break through or not, Maude just waited for the result.
"Hurry up and end it."
Maude thought silently in his heart.
The sooner this incident is over, the sooner he will be able to return to the Chambord Islands and continue to learn the skills of life return under Shaqi's teaching.
Thinking of this, Maude picked up the upper romance novel that Perona had just finished reading.
This action immediately provokes a killing in the eyes of a woman who is still angry.
But Maude didn't care at all, turning the pages of the book and reading it.
But after reading a chapter, Maude felt something was wrong.
The protagonists are two women.
Then, this is a romance novel.
Maude first glanced at Perona who was looking at the lower part with gusto, then glanced at Tina who was paying attention to real-time information, and couldn't help thinking.
"..."
This glamorous female navy colonel actually likes to read romance novels on this subject?
After a moment of silence, Mord put down the novel silently.
As the warship rushed to the interception site, the navy headquarters faxed over several latest reward orders for the Straw Hat Pirates.
Except for Nami, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates were all on the reward order.
It is worth mentioning that the amount of reward offered by Luffy soared to 150 million Baileys.
50 million Baileys higher than the original period.
"It's so fast."
Maude squeezed a few of the latest reward orders, lamenting the efficiency of the world government.
The incident has not been reported yet, but the reward order for the Straw Hats has been updated first.
Subsequently,
I don't know if it's the bad luck of the straw hat group or Tina is lucky enough.
Obviously there were so many breakout routes, but the Straw Hats slammed into the Black Spear fleet led by Tina.
In order to meet Wei Wei at the agreed place, the straw hat group did not run away.
Of course, it was attacked by the black spears of the Tina fleet.
With frequent gunfire, the warship fired black spears over five meters in length towards the Meili.
Seeing that the Meili was about to be shot into a hornet's nest by the black spear, a glass-like barrier appeared out of nowhere, easily blocking all these menacing black spears.
It is the barrier fruit of Bartolomeo.
Maude saw the effect displayed by the barrier fruit, and his eyes flashed slightly.
This ability is simply invincible in conventional naval battles.
Tina, who was experienced in naval warfare, was obviously aware of this, her face was gloomy as if she was a grieving woman.
After several entanglements, the black spear formation that Tina was so proud of couldn't hurt Meili.
"30 million?"
The amount of Bartolomio's bounty flashed through Tina's mind.
With this ability alone, there is more than 30 million rewards.
Tina frowned and thought.
When all the attention of the navy on the warship was on the Straw Hat Pirates.
Maude lay on his back in a chair, playing with a devil fruit in his hand, looking like he was on vacation.
"Well, what an amazing ability."
Seeing the perfect defensive effect displayed by the barrier fruit under the black spear offensive, Maude has a clearer understanding of the upper limit of the barrier fruit.
"It seems there is no problem."
Maude flipped his backhand, and the black shadow surged on his palm, enveloping the huge devil fruit, and then gradually shrank into a small black marble.
After the Devil Fruit breaks through the six stars, the idea of ​​developing a cassette for storing things has become a reality.
As for this brand new devil fruit, it is the prize Maud drew in this incident.
Although only one...
But this kind of probability itself is extremely low, and being able to get one is a good example of luck.
In this way, Maude, as a bystander, watched Tina collapse in the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates.
finally,
Weiwei is still the same as the original, without boarding the Meili.
But there were two new guests on the Meili.
One is Robin and the other is von Klei.
2462+3000+2400=7862/10000
