Chapter 346 Maud, who is she to you? ! !

As far as potential is concerned, Cavendish, who integrates Li's personality, is undoubtedly a leader.

With his participation, the future upper limit of the Maud Pirates will be raised accordingly.

Maud is happy to have Cavendish on board.

After the Battle of the Advance City, Maud realized that quality alone won't work if you're going to contend with a behemoth like the Navy.

The number of people is often more important than the quality.

This can be seen from the predicament Jaya Lafayette and the others faced on the battlefield.

Even if the individual strength is not weak, but facing the siege of the large army of the navy, it can only be defeated.

It is also because of this war that Maud realizes the importance of the number of team members, and the previous concept has also changed.

Opening up to invite Cavendish to join was the result of a change in concept.

From now on, Maud will start to grow the team, find ways to absorb active forces, and then expand the scale of the forces as much as possible.

Whether it was Cavendish who had already boarded the ship, Jinbei who had escaped back to Fishman Island, or even Hancock, who was still recovering from injuries on the ship.

These outstanding combat powers are all targets that Maud wants to recruit.

It doesn't have to be a subordinate relationship, even if it's just a cooperative relationship, it can meet Maud's needs for expanding the scale of his power.

"It is necessary to go to Fishman Island."

Maud thought silently in his heart.

He is bound to win the recruitment of Jinpei.

With Jinping's strength, it is also worth his trip to Fishman Island.

It's just that there are so many things to do now, and there are serious points, and Maud can't get away for the time being.

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, another three days passed.

During this time, the Horror Three-masted Ship has been staying in the Devil's Triangle, which is filled with thick fog all the year round.

The situation and information in the outside world can only be known through newspapers.

It seems that this navy fiasco has thrown the world into turmoil.

In just a few days, countless places have been attacked and looted by pirates.

It is difficult to tell whether this phenomenon is due to the sudden surge in the number of pirates, or because the pirates believe that after the defeat of the navy, the garrison forces in various places will become weak, so they act recklessly.

All in all, the pirates have a tacit understanding of the timing of looting, causing unimaginable losses to countless ordinary people.

Even the member countries that are sheltered by the world government are without exception threatened by pirates.

As if the period after the navy's fiasco was a carnival day for pirates.

As long as it is linked to prosperity, you can almost see pirates doing whatever they want.

The desperately distressed Navy Headquarters was devastated by the constant requests for help from all over the world.

In order to supplement the shortage of troops as soon as possible, the Navy launched a world recruitment operation with great fanfare.

The news of the conscription spread all over the world. Due to the persecution caused by the pirates, there was a rebound effect all over the world, and they actively responded to the world conscription action released by the navy.

Maud, who was in the Devil's Triangle, learned about these things through newspapers.

But the news he wanted more now was about Jabba's whereabouts.

The Revolutionary Army's intelligence network, Xia Qi's intelligence channels, and the bounty that Morgans invested in the underground world, all channels worked together.

However.

A week has passed and still no news.

Maud couldn't sit still, feeling that he couldn't wait any longer, and his desire to catch one or two Tianlong people became stronger and stronger.

this day.

Maud comes to Hancock's room.

It was thought that Hancock's injury would take at least half a month to heal.

As a result, it recovered within a week.

This is the benefit of a strong physique.

"I'll take you back to Nine Snakes tomorrow."

Maud is interested in recruiting Hancock, but there is no need to rush this kind of thing.

Right now he still has a lot of things to do, and until then, it would be better to send Hancock back to Nine Snakes.

Otherwise, when they go to the New World or Fishman Island, they will waste a lot of time if they want to send Hancock back to Nine Snakes.

"it is good."

Hancock nodded in agreement.

After the injury healed, she naturally had no reason to stay.

And given what she did on the battlefield, there is a high probability that the navy headquarters will settle accounts in the autumn, so it is not surprising even if a warship is sent to attack the Nine Snakes.

In this regard, Hancock is still somewhat worried.

"Then it's settled."

Maud smiled at Hancock.

Hancock's heartbeat suddenly increased, and a blush appeared on his cheeks like a conditioned reflex.

"..."

Seeing that Hancock was so sensitive, Maud was speechless.

He thought to himself that if he called Hancock dear as a prank, Hancock would probably faint on the spot because of the severe overheating of the CPU in his brain.

But Maud was not in the mood to tease Hancock now, so he said goodbye to Hancock after a few simple chats, and then turned and left the room.

Early the next morning.

Under Maud's instruction, Lafayette and the others quickly completed their preparations for the voyage.

Just to send Hancock back to the Nine Snakes, there is no need to dispatch all of them, and there is no need to use the Terrorist Barque.

The ship used to set sail was Netherland, and the members of the boarding team were Jaya, Lafayette, Cavendish, Perona, Bailey, and Brook.

Others stayed behind on the Terror Barque.

Anyway, the terrifying three-masted ship is now moored in the Devil's Triangle, and there is no need to worry about being found by the navy, just stay there and wait for Maud and the others to come back.

Even if the navy comes to the door and there are green pheasants, generally nothing will happen.

Under the watch of Qingzhi and others, the Netherland slowly left the terrifying three-masted ship, and immediately flew into the air under the influence of Jaya's ability.

Soon.

Netherland broke out of the thick fog and floated high in the sky.

Lafayette held a life card provided by Hancock in his hand, and adjusted the navigation direction of the Netherland while calibrating the direction.

Soon, the orientation is calibrated.

Lafayette motioned Jaya to speed up.

Jaya understood and accelerated the flight speed of Netherland.

In an instant, the Netherland traveled through the clouds at a very fast speed.

At this speed, the voyage that originally took about 12 days should be able to directly double the time.

Hancock was wearing a coat and looked at Maud who was lying on a chair reading from time to time.

I don't know what she made up on her own, while she peeked at Maud, she whispered to herself while covering her red face.

Hancock looked like an idiot, and Perona, who was not far away, rolled her eyes.

She knew that it was a normal phenomenon to attract women with the charm of Lord Maud.

But Hancock, who is called the world's most beautiful woman by the world, would be so infatuated with Maud, which is something Perona never expected.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, who would believe it?

"Do you think you can get the favor of Lord Maud by being a nympho? Hmph, dreaming."

Perona hummed coldly in her heart, and her line of sight passed over Hancock's face and figure, and she was a little envious.

Although I don't want to admit it, Hancock's face and figure really dumped her for several streets.

"Fortunately, Lord Maud is not the kind of superficial man who is always attracted by beauty..."

Perona's mental activities became extremely rich, she gnashed her teeth for a while, and then looked at Maud with admiration for a while.

Bailey, who was holding a piece of bread and chewing, couldn't help looking at Perona with a neurotic look when he passed by Perona.

"Is this idiot taking the wrong medicine?"

Bailey muttered softly.

The main reason is that Perona's unreserved expression of her rich mental activities seems a bit silly.

Bailey's muttering did not escape Perona's ears.

Perona also realized that she had accidentally expressed her mental activity, her face flushed slightly, and then she looked at Bailey with anger in her eyes, and when she raised her hand, a negative ghost passed by.

puff.

Bailey, who was passed through by the negative ghost, knelt on the ground on the spot, looking at the bread that fell in front of him with a negative expression.

"If there is an afterlife, Wo wants to make bread crumbs all over the place."

"Humph."

Perona stepped on Bailey's butt, then turned around and left.

Bailey wanted to pounce and bite Perona, but he couldn't do anything in a passive state, he could only stare silently at the crumbs scattered on the deck.

Jaya came out of the cabin with a few cups of iced lemon tea and saw Bailey kneeling on the deck with a negative expression, and probably guessed what happened.

She shook her head slightly, placed one of the iced lemon teas next to Bailey, and walked straight to Maud.

"thanks."

Maud looked at the iced lemon tea Jaya put down.

Jaya nodded lightly at Maud, then turned back to the cabin.

Hancock's eyes moved with Jaya, vaguely containing a little hostility.

If Perona was sticking to Maud's side, Hancock wouldn't be the least bit jealous, and he wouldn't care about Perona's existence.

Because, she felt that Perona was not a threat, but Jaya was different.

Hancock could see that the relationship between Maud and Jaya was very unusual.

Therefore, even if Jaya's body and face are not as good as hers, she still feels threatened.

stare

Hancock stared at Jaya.

Jaya felt the hostile gaze from Hancock's side.

Knowing what was going on, she couldn't help laughing in her heart.

This arrogant and willful woman behind her will behave completely different from usual once Maud is involved.

Surprisingly cute.

Jaya thought in her heart, just as if she didn't notice Hancock's gaze, she walked straight into the cabin and went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.

"Captain, phone bug."

Above the cabin on the second floor, Lafayette was standing in front of the railing, holding a phone bug that kept making a "Brumbling" sound in his hand.

Hearing Lafayette's words, Maud put down the book and raised his hand: "Throw it here."

"learn."

Lafayette smiled and threw the phone bug over.

The phone bug was so frightened that he opened his eyes, his body drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and finally landed precisely in Maud's hands.

Maud picked up the handset and connected the call.

As the phone was connected, the phone bug's appearance changed, and it was similar to Sunny's appearance.

"Maud, it's me."

Sonny's voice came from the phone bug.

"Sunny..."

Maud was a little surprised and pleasantly surprised.

When he heard Sunny's voice, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

But in an instant, he thought of Saul's death, and he slowly suppressed the smile that he just revealed.

The change in Maud's expression was seen by Hancock, and he was suddenly curious, and he pricked up his ears to listen to Maud's call.

Maud sat up straight, looked at the phone bug, and asked, "How are you there?"

"Well, I followed the organization to carry out a task some time ago. I thought this task could be completed without too much effort, but I didn't expect it to be a trap set by the world government."

"What happened?"

Maud's expression tightened and he asked quickly.

"We went to an allied country of Winter Island that promoted slavery. There was civil strife in that place. For us, it was a good opportunity to 'liberate', and we ended up in the trap of the World Government."

"The opponent's combat troops are very strong. We suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat. Fortunately, Jasmine's ability was able to dig a temporary resting and safe base in the snowy mountains, so it escaped the opponent's pursuit."

"We rested in the cave for almost a week, and it was only last night that we managed to escape from there."

Sunny used a calm tone to explain what happened during the mission.

If it weren't for the ability of the Slippery Fruit to slip away some types of damage, the encounter that happened that night would most likely cost Sunny's life.

"It's fine."

Maud breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to ask: "What about Sabo and the others?"

"Just Betty was injured a little, and the others are fine."

"That's good."

"Maud, I saw the news."

"Um?"

"why did not you tell me?"

Sunny's words changed, and there was a hint of anger in her tone.

Seems to be angry.

Maud was shocked, thinking that Sonny already knew about Saul.

"what?"

It's just that Maud didn't know how to talk to Sunny about this, so he didn't continue the conversation, but pretended not to understand Sunny's meaning.

"Why didn't you tell me about your attack on the advance city? I can obviously help you..."

"what?"

Maud was stunned when he heard the words, and then realized that Sonny didn't know about Sol yet, otherwise, he would have asked Sol for the first time.

"Sorry, it was my fault."

Without too much justification, Maud simply admitted his mistake.

In this case, and only in this way can Sunny be relieved in an instant.

"Hmph, there is no next time."

Sonny's cold snort came from the phone bug.

Seeing Maud admit his mistake, she was really relieved.

"Okay, I promise there will be no next time. If I need help in the future, I will definitely find you as soon as possible."

Maud watched the phone bug synchronize with Sonny's slightly arrogant look, and his eyes suddenly softened.

"But you also have to promise me that if there is trouble on your side, don't think too much about me, and don't worry about my position, you must tell me as soon as possible, even if it's a big trouble, I'll do it for you solve."

"..."

The phone worm was silent for a while, and could vaguely hear Jasmine's gruff voice of jealousy, as well as Kerla's rather envious exclamations.

"Um."

A few seconds later, Sunny's excited voice came from the phone bug.

"Maud, I still have something to do here. I'll call you when I get back to the base."

"it is good."

Maud nodded.

pat.

The phone bug hangs up immediately.

Maud looked at the phone bug with his eyes closed, slowly raised his hand on his forehead, and sighed in his heart.

How to tell Sunny about his death was a problem for him.

Suddenly, Maud felt a sharp gaze, and when he looked up, it was Hancock who was unabashedly jealous.

"Who is the woman who called you?"

Hancock looked straight at Maud, the original shyness no longer existed.

Maud froze for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Oh, it's Sonny."

"Sunny? Who is she to you?!!"

Hancock asked quickly, looking rather impatient.

"family."

"Eh?"

Hancock automatically made up the kind of family who completed the wedding, and took a step back like a lost soul.

But she quickly thought of another possibility, looked at Maud and asked eagerly: "Is it a sister? Or a sister?"

"neither."

Maud shook his head.

Hancock's eyes trembled, and his body was struck by lightning.

"How could this be... so, she is yours, yours..."

She was hit hard, and involuntarily stepped back several steps, and immediately fell to the ground as if she had lost her strength, her face full of grief and nowhere to put it.

"Concubine...I don't want to live anymore."

"???"

Maud raised a question mark.

Cavendish, who was not far away, and Perona looked at Hancock, who was unlovable.
