Chapter 21 Shadow Box and Devil Fruit

Chapter 21 Shadow Box and Devil Fruit

If Maud hadn't come into this world.

Those who stop the war will be the Straw Hat Pirates.

The one who defeats Crocodile will be Straw Hat Luffy.

But here he is.

The result is doomed, but the process has some changes.

The person who stopped the war in a sense was Maud.

It was also Maud who killed Crocodile with his own hands.

only,

Under the operation of Maud, the one who knocked down Crocodile and safely rescued Alabasta King Cobra was indeed Straw Hat Luffy.

But the world government will obviously not admit the fact that the people who solved the crisis in Alabasta are a group of rookie pirates.

He will not even admit that Crocodile used the power of the Shichibukai identity to implement this pirate plan.

In order to cover up these facts, there is this notification call.

Qiwuhai wants to steal the country?

Oh it's all right.

We will let the other Qibukai eliminate the threat.

presumably,

For the world government, it is undoubtedly a great thing that Maude, who is also Qiwuhai, is also in Alabasta.

As long as it is fabricated that Maud is under the order of the World Government, and cooperates with the Navy of the headquarters, and then successfully stopped the fact that Crocodile.

It also virtually eliminated some of the bad influences brought about by the identity of Qiwuhai.

One pass operation.

It's nothing more than trying to tell the world a fact.

That is -- you see, it's all under control.

Maud finds it interesting.

Naturally, it does not want the world government to do so.

After all, he is not a navy who can only follow orders blindly.

Smoker didn't know what Maud wanted to do.

What is certain is that...

What Maud said made him very uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, he couldn't refute it.

After a while.

Before the reinforcements dispatched by the navy arrived, the navy led by Tina woke up one after another.

"Tina is angry!"

Tina, who finally woke up, rushed to Maud angrily after she figured out the situation.

"Business matters."

Smog appeared at the right time and stopped Tina, who was dazed by anger.

"Step aside!"

Tina said coldly.

Smoker was unmoved, thinking that if you rushed to Maud, the final result would only be to lie down again.

"The same thing, Tina won't say the third time, get out of the way!"

But Tina is really angry, even if she is dead, she will punch Maud hard to eliminate the anger in her heart.

Smoker could understand Tina's mood, but he didn't want to see Tina being played with by Maud again.

in the end,

Their strength is simply not enough in front of Maud.

"The reinforcements dispatched by the headquarters are coming soon. The most urgent task is to unite the forces and block the escape route of the Devil's Son and the Straw Hats, instead of doing some meaningless things."

In order to prevent Tina from jumping into the pit, Smoker quickly brought out the military order from the headquarters.

Hearing this, Tina clenched her fists.

The murderous look went directly over Smog and landed on the smiling man.

Compared with the task of recovering the field from Maud, meeting with the reinforcements, and successfully arresting Nico Robin and the Straw Hats, it is obviously more important.

In desperation, Tina could only give up.

Half an hour passed.

All the reinforcements sent by the headquarters arrived, and there were as many as thirty warships, but the size of the warships was not large.

Nonetheless, it was still loud.

This kind of handwriting made Maud a little surprised.

but,

He wasn't going to get involved in this.

With the arrival of reinforcements, all the navies mobilized and went to the coastal areas of various places.

The warship Tina belonged to also left the coast, heading towards the most likely route for the Straw Hat Pirates to escape.

at the bow.

Watching the warships go away, Perona's eyes were full of surprise, and she muttered in a low voice: "With so many troops, can the Straw Hats escape?"

"Ah."

Maud smiled.

There are indeed many troops.

But Alabasta's territory is very vast, and the navy's course of action is to block all escape routes along the coast.

In this way, the rare troops will only be scattered around, losing their original advantages.

Invisibly, it also increased the chances of the Straw Hats escaping successfully.

Furthermore, if the dragon hadn't left, there might be a large-scale artificial rainfall in Alabasta.

Anyway, no matter whether the Straw Hats can break through, Maud just waits for the result.

"Let's end it now."

Maud thought silently in his heart.

The sooner this is over, the sooner he will be able to return to the Chambord Islands and continue to learn the techniques of returning life under Shaqi's teaching.

Thinking of this, Maud picked up the upper part of the romance novel that Perona had just finished reading.

This move immediately attracted the eyes of a woman who was still angry.

But Maud didn't care at all, and turned the page to read.

But after reading a chapter, Maud felt something was wrong.

The protagonists are two women.

Then, it's a romance novel.

Maud first glanced at Perona, who was looking at the lower part with relish, and 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 with this theme?

After a while of silence, Maud silently put down the novel.

On the way of the warship rushing to the interception site, the navy headquarters faxed a few latest bounties about the Straw Hat Pirates.

Except for Nami, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates were all placed on a bounty order.

It is worth mentioning that Luffy's bounty amount soared directly to 150 million Bailey.

Fifty million baileys higher than the original period.

"It's so fast."

Maud held a few latest bounty orders, lamenting the efficiency of the world government.

The incident report hasn't come out yet, but instead, the straw hat gang's bounty order has been updated first.

Subsequently,

I don't know if it was the Straw Hats who were unlucky, or Tina was lucky enough.

There were obviously so many routes to break out of the siege, but the Straw Hats just crashed into the Black Spear Array led by Tina.

In order to meet Wei Wei at the appointed place, the Straw Hats did not run away.

Of course, it was attacked by the black spear of the Tina fleet.

With the frequent sound of cannons, the warship fired black spears over five meters long towards the Merry.

Seeing that the Merry 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.

Bartolomeo's Barrier Fruit.

Maud saw the effect of the barrier fruit, and his eyes flashed slightly.

This ability is simply invincible in conventional naval battles.

Tina, who is experienced in naval battles, obviously realized this, and her face was so gloomy that she looked like a resentful woman.

After several entanglements, the formation of black spears, which Tina was proud of, was unable to injure Mei Li in the slightest.

"30 million?"

Bartolomeo's bounty amount flashed through Tina's mind.

With this ability alone, there is more than a reward of 30 million.

Tina frowned in thought.

When the attention of all the navies on the warship was on the Straw Hat Pirates.

Maud was lying on his back in a chair, playing with a devil fruit in his hand, looking like he was on vacation.

"Well, it's really a powerful ability."

Looking at the perfect defensive effect of the Barrier Fruit under the Black Spear offensive, Maud has a clearer understanding of the upper limit of the Barrier Fruit.

"It seems that there is no problem."

Maud flipped his hand back, and the black shadow surged in the palm of his hand, wrapping the huge devil fruit in it, and then gradually shrinking into a pitch-black small marble.

After the Devil Fruit broke through the six stars, the development idea of ​​​​the shadow box used to store things became a reality.

As for this brand-new Devil Fruit, it was the prize that Maud drew in this incident.

Although only one hit...

But this kind of probability itself is extremely low, and being able to get one is a manifestation of excellent luck.

As a bystander, Maud watched Tina collapse in the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates.

finally,

Weiwei is still the same as the original book, not on the Mei Li.

But there were two new guests aboard the Merry.

One is Robin and the other is Von Clay.
