HxH in One Piece World

With just one word from Keynes, the imposing army disregarded its face and knelt down in the street.

Under the gazes of many eyes, Matthew lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

But his move is enough to give Keynes an explanation.

roll.

Keynes was expressionless.

Matthew gave him face, and he would not let Matthew continue to be embarrassed, and gave him a step forward.

Okay, Lord Keynes.

Matthew stood up, smiled apologetically at Cairns, turned around decisively, and led the team away from North Street.

Before leaving, he did not even forget to take the bodies of the three Malette brothers away.

As for the act of kneeling to apologize just now, it was nothing to him at all.

That Bacardi Maud...

Being able to be called a distinguished guest by Keynes and taking it so seriously, it is very likely that he placed a high price on Thomas Shipyard.

And a portion of the proceeds from every order from Thomas Shipyard goes to the king who values ​​money above everything else.

In the face of this relationship, if you have a bad relationship with Maud...

He is not false, the Mord Pirates, and he is afraid that Keynes will go to the king and say a few bad things.

At that time, most of them will be sent to the [Hanging Prison].

Even if they commit suicide, they don't want to be tortured by [Suspended Prison] to the point of death.

Thinking of some appalling scenes, Matthew couldn't help but feel cold, and only hoped that Keynes would not trouble him afterwards.

Matthew backed away quickly.

The soldiers accompanying him said nothing.

They have become accustomed to this situation of losing face because of disputes over interests.

In the situation just now, if Cairns hadn't come forward, then they would inevitably have a touch with the Morde Pirates.

but……

The soldiers shivered slightly as they recalled the aura of Maud, which was stained with an unknown amount of blood.

To be honest, they didn't want to face Maud at all.

It may be a blessing to be able to solve this problem with kneeling.

On North Cross Street.

Maud and the others watched the army leave.

The performance of the group of soldiers just now made Maud and the others realize that Keynes's identity may be very unusual.

After coming forward to persuade Matthew and other soldiers to retreat, Keynes smiled apologetically at Maud.

Mr. Maud, please don't worry about your unhappiness just now.

fine.

Maud put away Chidori.

If Keynes hadn't come forward, he would have to do it again.

In Dick City, if you just kill pirates or bounty hunters, there will be basically no trouble in the follow-up.

But if they were to do something with the military, they would probably have to go elsewhere to build ships.

Even if the consequences can be foreseen, in that case, Maud will never give in and hold back.

If the power from the pursuit can't be used at such a time, what's the point of his insistence on becoming stronger?

Pirates should do what they want to do.

After helping Maud solve this matter,

Keynes exchanged a few words before returning to the shipyard.

In the near future, he will spend all his energy on Maud's sky-high new boat.

After Cairns left, Maud and his party walked towards East Cross Street.

Around the street, what happened just now caused the residents' eyes to look at Maud and others to have an essential change.

This group of people can be so favored by Cairns of Thomas Shipyard, and it must be a lot of money.

Under the gaze of many eyes, Maud and the others left North Street and came to the center of Cross Street.

Lafayette looked back at the direction of North Street and said softly, I was very surprised by the actions of the group of soldiers just now.

I didn't expect them to ... the country is kind of weird.

Maud looked at the bustling streets.

Betty, who was walking in front, opened her mouth and hesitated for a while, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Money is the most important thing in this country.

Not only can it be used to avoid crimes, but it can also be used to buy life.

Here, the value of each person can even be measured by the amount of money.

It's like a bounty order to measure the value of pirates, and it's like a sale price and auction price to measure the value of slaves.

What the king did was to enlarge the miniature of the world as much as possible.

And such a place is precisely a paradise for some people.

Under the leadership of Betty, Maud and his party came to a large-scale tavern on East Street.

Before coming here, Betty had already briefly introduced the situation of East Street to Maud and the others.

It can be understood that East Street is the only lawless place in Dick City that is not interfered by the military.

Therefore, even if it is robbery and murder here, the army will not come to find fault.

It's just that, from the moment Keynes came out for Maud, even if Maud committed the same thing again in other blocks, the army responsible for maintaining order would not trouble Maud again.

Money is power.

This principle can be vividly reflected in the kingdom of Ahab.

After knowing that East Street is impossible, Maud and Lafayette's minds suddenly became active.

They pushed open the tavern door and went straight in.

The tavern, which was once noisy, gradually quieted down because of their arrival.

The eyes of everyone in the tavern were focused on Maud.

Whenever a pirate with a bounty and a high reputation, no matter where he goes, as long as there are peers, he will definitely attract attention.

These eyes are mostly in awe.

They were afraid of Maud.

And Maud does have the capital that scares them.

Maud glanced at the pirates in the tavern.

Swept away by Maud's gaze, most pirates bowed their heads to avoid that gaze.

Maud didn't care about the ostrich's reaction of these pirates. When he saw a man with two chains tied to his body, his eyes paused consciously.

Immediately, he withdrew his gaze without a trace and walked towards the empty seat in the tavern.

The man with the chains on his body was Buffalo.

Oh, not very lucky, it seems that I won't be able to go to the casino later.

Buffalo quietly glanced at Maud and his party who were seated, thinking to himself.

If it wasn't for a few more drinks, he would have been in the casino ten minutes ago.

Buffalo felt bad luck when he met Maud in the tavern because of a bad idea.

By the way, he doesn't know me again.

Buffalo suddenly thought of something.

Then what am I worried about?

Buffalo realized, and laughed with joy, revealing the Don Quixote family mark on his white teeth.

After Maud and the others were seated, the voices in the tavern showed signs of recovery.

Maud didn't pay much attention to Buffalo's side, but he recognized Buffalo's identity.

The hair style and beard like the blades of the electric fan are like guiding lights.

Could it be that Baby-5 with weapon fruit is also on this island?

Maud's mood fluctuated.

He remembered that Buffalo and Baby-5 of the Don Quixotes often acted together.

If Baby-5 is also on this island, then...

At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open.

A tall man in a coat walked in, stopped at the door and glanced around, and went straight to the wine table where Maud was.

The man looked at Maud and grinned: Long time no see, Maud.

Arthur, are you dead?

Maud looked up at the man in front of him, a little surprised.

When Arthur, the former mortician of Mad Hatter Town, heard the words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he pointed to the last vacant seat at the wine table.

That sounds harsh, mind if I sit down?

I'm very interested.

Maud gave no face at all.

...

Arthur's expression stiffened a little.

After a light cough, he sat down cheekily.

In order to avoid being driven out by Maud directly, he took the initiative to find a topic.

Maud, are you here for the Devil Fruit too?

Um.

Maud nodded quietly.

The Lafayettes at the same table looked calm.

As if they came to Leviathan not for shipbuilding, but for the Devil Fruit that Arthur revealed on his own initiative.

However, this news is no longer a secret in Dick City.

Arthur didn't suspect him, with such an expression on his face, he quickly glanced at Bailey who was occupying a seat, thinking that this skunk must be the beast that Maud brought to participate in the competition, right?

Without thinking, Arthur lowered his voice.

It is said that the devil fruit was found on an island called Little Garden.
