Chapter 530 Threat from 5 Old Stars
The latest website: There are countless evil people in the world.
To say that the world government wants to get rid of the most is the world's number one criminal, the leader of the revolutionary army, Long.
But now-
Maud took the dragon's place in the eyes of the World Government.
They attacked the Holy Land Mariejoa again and again, and killed the god-like Tianlong people like chickens and ducks.
Such a crime is enough for the world government to kill Maud thousands of times.
it is a pity that.
No matter how many operations the World Government mobilized, and how much power was invested in the operations, they could not get rid of Maud.
Instead, he watched Maud climb to the top step by step.
Say something disrespectful...
In the incident where Maud attacked the Holy Land to rescue the bear, even if Lord Yimu personally took action, Maud could not be killed in the end.
Therefore, the Five Old Stars, who control the power of the world on the bright side, completely regard the removal of Maud as the highest priority and the most important task.
And the world government has always known that Maude has a younger brother, Bacardi Moyo.
Then, taking Moyu's safety as a hostage has become a natural plan.
This is in line with the style of world government.
During the period of Maude's rapid rise, the World Government wanted to attack Moyu a long time ago.
It was just the information collected that showed that Moyou joined the Revolutionary Army organization by mistake, and received enough attention from the Revolutionary Army.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for a marginal member who has just joined the revolutionary army to be valued that much in a short period of time.
This is enough to show that the upper ranks of the revolutionary army must also know Moyou's identity...
Oddly enough, Maud doesn't seem to know that his brother isn't dead yet.
Based on the intersection between the Revolutionary Army and Maud, after knowing Moyou's identity and details, he should have told Maud this "good news" as soon as possible.
But the Revolutionary Army did not.
The secret is unknown.
However, from the perspective of the world government, it is natural to think that the attention and protection of the revolutionary army to Moyou is to gain benefits from Maud.
Anyway...
No matter what the purpose of the revolutionary army was to "protect" Moyou, in order to deal with Maud, the world government is bound to capture Moyou alive.
The sudden attack on the main force of the revolutionary army on Snow Island was actually aimed at Moyou.
As a result, although the main force of the revolutionary army was severely damaged, the failure to capture Moyu was considered a failure in a sense.
Afterwards, several targeted actions against the revolutionary army were also unsuccessful.
Now.
The operation to capture Moyu was finally successful.
At the moment when the navy lost to Maud again, and the CP0 team sent to the Mercury Island to capture the permanent pointer was completely wiped out by Maud, this is undoubtedly good news for the Five Old Stars.
"Hopefully the value of this 'hostage'... won't let us down."
"First of all, let's see the reaction of Bakar D. Maud."
"But the most important thing is to ensure the power to remove the target!"
"That's really a problem."
"It's not that we lack strength, it's that Baka. D. Maud's strength is too amazing..."
"Perhaps it would be a relatively safe decision to ask Lord Yim to take another shot."
"I disagree."
With the knife in his hand, the bald-headed five old stars in white robes objected, and the eyes behind the lenses shone with a cold luster.
"The meaning of our existence, and the meaning of the existence of the entire world government... It is precisely to prevent Lord Yimu from getting dusty hands. The last incident forced Lord Yimu to take action, which is unforgivable!"
"..."
There was a brief silence in the room of power.
Even with a favorable bargaining chip.
But how to ensure the removal of Maud is still a headache for the Five Old Stars and even the entire world government.
........
The war on Mercury Island is over.
The whole process and results are known to the world through live broadcast.
Since the Mord Pirates won the final victory, in the eyes of the world, the Mord Pirates naturally got the permanent pointer to Ralph Drew.
That is to say—
It won't take long for the Maud Pirates to arrive at the final island of Ralph Drew, conquer the entire great route with an absolute king attitude, and then become the new One Piece.
The day after the war ended.
Various newspapers used this as a gimmick to scramble to report the Maud Pirates' upcoming domination of the great waterway.
Because the target of the report is the Maud Pirates.
So the newspapers are not afraid of being slapped in the face.
As far as the historical facts are concerned, Maud, surrounded by countless halos, has never let them down.
So they blow Maud, that's no pressure at all.
The newspaper that published the news that Maud was about to ascend to the throne of One Piece floated all over the world like snowflakes.
But actually.
Maud didn't get Ralph Drew's permanent pointer.
However, the content of the reports written by various newspapers is right.
Among the known New World pirate forces, only two can wrestle with the Maud pirates.
One is the Four Emperors Red-haired Pirates who are sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, and the other is the Germa family who broke away from the Confederate country overnight.
The former is that the average bounty in the group is very high, and the Four Emperor Pirates, known as the iron wall, have quite a lot of similarities with the Morde Pirates who also follow the elite route.
The latter is Germa, a technologically powerful country that gained momentum after receiving the hard work left over from the Hundred Beasts Pirates.
The man-made ancient devil fruit that can be mass-produced, plus the clones of natural warriors that can also be mass-produced...
The combination of the two has given Germa a powerful army that is not inferior to the new pacifists, and thus has the qualifications to compete for the throne.
More and more information bombed the whole world to boil.
And on the island of Mercury.
Maud looked at the mountains of weapons in front of him and couldn't help but ponder.
His ability has been promoted to ten stars. Although the space in the shadow box has been expanded to a certain extent, there are a lot of things inside...
There are so many weapons in front of me, I really can't fit in.
How to take it away now has become a big problem.
If Jaya is here, even if the number of weapons is doubled tenfold, there is no need to worry.
"Lafayette, I'll leave this to you."
Maud pondered for a moment and decided to leave this issue to Lafayette.
Lafayette was excited to take over the task, as if he would live up to his expectations.
After leaving all the questions to his comrades, Maud went to see Ace.
In order to imprison Ace, Shiliu used a knife to cut a standardized cage out of a boulder, and then threw Ace, who was wearing Hailoushi handcuffs, into it.
Maud came to the cage.
Inside the cage, Ace sat cross-legged on the ground, slightly dispirited.
After seeing Maud coming, Ace's eyes instantly became extremely fierce.
If the ability was not restrained by Hailoushi, I am afraid that his eyes looking at Maud would directly manifest his emotions into raging flames.
Maud didn't care about Ace's eye attack, and sat down with his knees crossed.
Even so, he still had to look down to barely meet Ace's gaze.
"Fire Fist Ace, you have been galloping on this sea for many years, you should know very well what the loser will end up with, but your luck is better than others, whether it is before or now..."
"I will definitely kill you!"
Ace, who had lost all his companions, couldn't listen to Maud at all.
He stared at Maud fiercely, with that look, wishing to tear Maud alive.
It's just that Maud didn't take him seriously at all.
"Thank you for your identity. It is because of your identity that you don't have to bear all the costs."
Maud's calm tone was like a needle after another, gently piercing the depths of Ace's body.
Ace, who resented his own blood the most, glared at Maud angrily.
It's just that he, who is in the cage, doesn't say a word anymore.
Because words are pale and powerless under such circumstances.
Maud didn't use words to stimulate Ace anymore, and mentioned his intentions.
"Shanks asked me one thing."
"..."
For some reason, Ace's anger stagnated after hearing Maud's words.
Maud didn't care about Ace's reaction, and continued: "He asked me... to give your companions a decent funeral, and I agreed."
Ace was silent, his fists clenched.
Even with Hailoushi's suppression, the blood on the fists was pushed away by Ace.
Maud stood up slowly, his hands in his pockets.
"And, of course, Whitebeard's funeral."
After dropping this sentence, Maud did not wait for Ace to react, but simply turned and left.
Giving so many people a decent funeral is a big project.
However, since Maud agreed to Shanks' request, he would definitely not perfunctory.
Besides, Shanks was already on his way to Shui Xianxing Island.
"Take this final island on the bright side as a burial place..."
When Mo De walked, he looked up at the Navigation Mountain in the distance, and said to himself, "It's also suitable for the occasion."
It was a decision he made immediately after agreeing to Shanks' request to bury the many strong men who fell in front of him on Mercury Island.
There is one point of consideration in terms of meaning.
But the more important thing is to save trouble.
"The location of the burial is set there."
Maud stared at the top of Navigation Mountain.
Festa's carefully prepared explosion destroyed the originally picturesque top of Navigation Mountain beyond recognition.
Before Shanks and the others arrived at Continental Island, they had to be repaired anyway.
"To sum up, Luo, this matter is left to you."
A few minutes later, Maud patted Luo on the shoulder.
Luo asked blankly, "Then tell me what I should do!"
Maud pointed to the top of Navigation Mountain in the distance.
Luo was even more at a loss.
After half an hour.
Luo stood on the top of the devastated Navigation Mountain, and opened the field of the fruit of the operation with a black face.
Forced to take over the job, the memory of Maud who had asked him to mend the arquite mangroves in the Chambord Islands suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Ugh."
Facing the cold sea breeze, Luo helplessly sighed.
And this moment.
Because he has to stay on the island of Mercury for a while, Maud is going to use his shadow ability to build a castle.
He first used his ability to assimilate the rock and sand that could be obtained everywhere into shadows, and then shaped the assimilated shadows into the shape of a castle.
This operation is very controlling.
But it's just a small matter for Maud.
He quickly pinched out a nuanced castle, then removed the ability to restore the shadow to rock sand.
A rugged castle was built in seconds.
Maud looked at the castle in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
It's just that before he picked a room, Bailey went straight to the room on the top floor of the castle.
And Perona's response was not slow, and she chose the one closest to Maud's room.
soon.
The room in the castle was divided up by everyone.
To stay for a period of time on the island of Mercury, a comfortable residence is also quite necessary.
Bailey and Qiushui frolic in the newly built castle.
In other words, Bailey was unilaterally hunted down by Qiushui.
Bailey is a fool, always trying to make Qiushui angry.
Without Bailey and Qiushui on the side, Maud stayed alone in the room, and it was rare for him to be quiet.
Leaning on the balcony railing, he lifted the cover of the watch phone bug and tried to make a few more calls.
Still can't get through.
During the two days he stayed on the Concubine Island, he had called many times, but Sabo or Sunny never got through.
If it weren't for the status of the life card, it would be normal...
Maud would definitely not have the heart to stay on Mercury Island. Compared with Shanks' request, Sonny's current situation was more important.
"Two days..."
Looking at the watch phone bug that didn't move at all, Maud frowned slightly.
suddenly.
Maud looked up into the distance.
Above the blue sky, a bat with big eyes and fangs fluttered its wings and flew towards the castle.
To be more precise, it was flying towards Maud.
"The World Government's Biography Bat..."
Maud, who used to be Qiwuhai, recognized the origin of this bat at a glance, his eyes turned, and he landed on the slightly bulging envelope under the bat's claws.
"Phone bug?"
From the shape of the protrusion, Maud could barely make out the contents of the envelope.
Soon.
Under Maud's gaze, the bat flew over the castle balcony and threw the envelope straight down.
Maud raised his hand to catch the envelope.
Opening the envelope, there was indeed a phone bug inside.
Maud takes out the phone bug.
The moment I picked it up, the sound of Bulu Bulu's call suddenly sounded.
Maud narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the handset, and connected the call.
As the phone goes through, the phone bug's image changes.
Maud quickly glanced at the phone worm's synchronized image, and through the distinctive features, he recognized that the other party was one of the Five Old Stars.
"Baka. D. Maud."
The phone worm opened its mouth, and an old and steady voice came out.
Maud looked at the phone bug and said indifferently: "You really took great pains to talk to me directly, Five Old Stars."
Judging from the arrival time of the book-handling bat, it was obvious that the phone bug was delivered to him in advance.
Otherwise, it is impossible to step on the time point shortly after the end of the celebration, let alone so quickly.
"..."
After being silent for about a second or two on the phone worm, Wu Laoxing didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "The purpose of the call is to tell you one thing, Baka D. Maud, your family. already……"
Halfway through the conversation, it stopped abruptly.
because.
Maud's pupils shrank sharply when he heard Wu Laoxing mention the word family.
Suddenly, an extremely oppressive aura erupted from his body, and through the transformation of the phone bug's image, the Five Old Stars in the Holy Land felt an indescribable danger across the phone bug.
This is also the fundamental reason why the five old stars in charge of the call will stop abruptly.
Maud stared coldly at the phone bug that suddenly quieted down.
That piercing killing intent even made the phone worm tremble.
The words CP0 said in the studio flashed through his mind.
If the Five Old Stars sent someone to catch Sunny, it would explain why the phone bugs couldn't get through these two days.
Thinking that Sunny was in danger, the killing intent released from Mord's body became even more terrifying, and even alarmed the Mord pirates in the castle.
"A man like you also has weaknesses. Then, about your brother, we can at least have one thing in common."
The phone bug, who had been silent for a moment, made a sound again, and there was no concealment of threat in his tone.
"???"
Hearing Wu Laoxing's words, Maud's killing intent suddenly stagnated.
What the hell?
He looked at the phone bug in silence.
And the five old stars on the other side of the phone bug obviously didn't expect such an obvious fault in Maud's response.
I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air...
