HxH in One Piece World

Law stayed in the room to mend Smoothie's body.

This is a rather rare corpse material, worthy of Maud's attention.

As for Vanderdeken's corpse, Lafayette took a trip and threw the corpse into the deep sea outside the Dragon Palace to feed the fish.

In the room, only Maud and Luo were left.

Law was concentrating on repairing the corpse, while Maud straddled the table casually.

Clang——

Maud pulled out the autumn water and waved it a few times, and suddenly felt an indescribable weirdness, like waving a toy knife.

Hearing the movement, Luo looked up at Maud who was wielding a knife, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

From his perspective, Maud, whose height has more than doubled, is holding Qiushui with a length of only about 1.1 meters. It looks as weird as it looks.

Maud, do you need me to do the amputation operation for you?

Huh? Give you a chance to reorganize the language.

Maud stopped swinging his knife and looked at Luo playfully.

Uh...I'm joking.

Under the offensive of Maud's eyes, Luo instantly retreated and continued to repair the corpse honestly.

Maud returned the autumn water to the sheath, got up and glanced at the shadow behind him.

The sudden change in body shape made it difficult for him to adapt.

Especially when it comes to the saber...

Bailey's little fool can match his current body shape by gaining weight, but Qiushui can't.

The biggest problem is the sense of incongruity caused by [length].

Forget it, 'change' it back...

Although with the current body shape, the power-generating techniques of various moves can be made easier, but the lingering stiffness is protesting to the brain frantically...

Maud stared down at the shadow, using his ability to knead and compress the shadow with his mind.

under his control,

The shadow slowly shrinks inward, and the body also shrinks.

On the side, Luo stole a glance at Maud who was [adjusting] his [body size], and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After a while, Maud's height went back to more than three meters, and so was his body shape.

The speed of adjusting height and body shape seems to be a little faster.

During the adjustment process, Maud realized that this skill could be applied to combat.

For example, when fighting the enemy in close combat, you can suddenly lengthen the length of the arm and directly attack the enemy behind the weapon.

Or suddenly shrink in size to avoid enemy attacks.

The idea was born, and Maud began to try to increase the speed of adjusting his body shape, going back and forth over there to become bigger and smaller, shorter and longer, thicker and thinner.

Since he got the shadow fruit, it seems that he has tried many times with similar characteristics.

Each time is vivid and interesting, which can deepen his understanding of the power of the shadow fruit.

Especially the one that grows longer and thicker freely, it seems that it can also be used to cooperate with [Return of Life], so as to do many things that ordinary people can't do.

It can greatly increase the strength of the attack!

Maud's mind is active, and he is having a good time there, while Luo is full of black lines here.

Is that human being……

Luo was in a complicated mood.

finally.

After many attempts, Maud adjusted his height to 2.6 meters, which was only about 0.6 meters higher than the big swordsmen like Red Hair and Hawkeye.

Although Maud can adjust his height at will, he feels that with a height of 2.6 meters, when swinging the knife, the fit and feel will be better, and even when making moves, there will be a smoother feeling.

When Maud selected the height, Luo's work on repairing the corpse was also over.

Maud placed Smoothie's body in the shadowbox.

At present, the shadow box has contained the bodies of Whitebeard and Smoothie, as well as five Devil Fruits.

The space of the entire film box was almost filled.

Maud intends to expand the storage space of the shadow box, but this kind of thing cannot be achieved by hard training skills. Only when the star reaches nine stars can we usher in significant changes.

Go, let's eat.

Maud led the way out of the room.

I haven't eaten for most of the day, and I've been using my abilities again and again, but I'm a little hungry.

Luo went out of the room together and followed behind Maud.

at the same time.

Princess White Star, who was stunned by Maud's overlord color, slowly woke up from the bed.

Nipton was standing by the bed, and when he saw Shirahoshi wake up, he was slightly relieved.

White Star, how do you feel?

Neptune reached out and stroked Shirahoshi's forehead lightly.

Bai Xing looked at his father and did not speak, but bit his lip and wept silently.

In the entire fish-man island, only she and her pet Megalo know the truth about the assassination of her mother, Otohime, eight years ago.

But she, who inherited her mother's legacy, hid this secret deep in her heart, and suffered sadness and loneliness alone in the shell tower.

Eight years of patience had made her inner strength much stronger.

And seeing the death of the three royal brothers with her own eyes, although she wanted to cry out loud, but in order not to make her father uncomfortable, she held it back with difficulty, but the tears still poured out uncontrollably.

Nepton instantly understood what Shiraoshi was thinking, and his eyes were wet.

While hating his own incompetence, he touched Bai Xing's head and said softly: Shark Star and the others are no longer in serious trouble. It was the doctor of the Maud Pirates who saved them.

Really, really?

White Star looked at Neptune in disbelief.

Neptune nodded towards Shirogane.

Woooo...

After learning that the three imperial brothers were all right, Bai Xing couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

The tears that flowed from the eyes fell on the bed like a stream.

Nipton took Bai Xing into his arms and said with pity: It's been hard work for you all the time...

The king of Ryugu Castle had apparently learned from his pet Megalo what Shiraoshi had endured for eight years.

After Bai Xing's mood stabilized, Nipton explained what happened in Ryugu Castle one by one.

Although they are pirates, they are undoubtedly the benefactors of our Ryugu Kingdom.

After telling Shirahoshi what happened, Neptune looked solemn.

Bai Xing nodded silently, agreeing with Neptune's statement.

But the picture of Maud ruthlessly killing tens of thousands of human pirates in the square has turned into fear and is rooted in her head.

She couldn't imagine how she would feel if Maud stood in front of her.

Father, I want to meet that mermaid named Luna.

it is good.

Neptune responded to Shirogane's request.

After half an hour.

Luna came to Shirahoshi's room, looking very restrained.

Princess White Star.

She looked up at Bai Xing's beautiful face, and there was a flash of exclamation in her eyes.

This was the first time she had seen Bai Xing with her own eyes. She was also a woman, and she couldn't help being convinced by Bai Xing's charm.

Hello, Luna.

Bai Xing took the initiative to greet Luna.

She wanted to learn more about the outside world and the man she feared, Maud, through the mermaid girl who had experienced ups and downs in front of her.

Can you tell me about... your experience during this time?

what?

Luna looked at Shirahoshi in surprise.

Before she came, she was surprised that Princess Bai Xing, who she didn't know, would summon her specially.

I didn't expect that the reason why Princess Bai Xing summoned her was to ask her about her rough experience during this period.

what is the root cause?

Luna didn't respond to Shirahoshi immediately, but subconsciously thought about it.

Then, a name silently appeared in her mind.

It seems that it is precisely because of this name that she has an intersection with the aloof Princess Ryugucheng.

After the idea was mastered, Luna blurted out and asked, Is it because of Lord Maud...?

Um.

Bai Xing was slightly startled, and immediately confirmed Luna's guess.

When Luna saw this, her bright face suddenly became a little sad.

..........

Night falls.

Fishman Island is brightly lit.

Without the threat from the pirates and slave teams, the mermaids who were originally hiding in the deep-sea apartment returned to the streets one after another.

With the return of the mermaids, even at night, the streets that had been deserted for a while began to gradually become lively.

All parts of Fishman Island, like spring, are slowly recovering.

At this time, through the live broadcast of the Walking Image Worm, Neptune appeared on the screens in various places on Fishman Island.

As a king, he explained to the people what happened on Fishman Island today.

However, he still deliberately concealed the fact that the New Murloc Pirates invaded Ryugu Castle and brutally killed many Ryugu Castle soldiers.

In contrast, Nipton did not miss the key role played by the Maud Pirates in this incident, and he solemnly expressed his gratitude to the Maud Pirates.

However, even if Nepton did not express his attitude and position towards the Maud Pirates through the live broadcast, with Maud's current influence, it has already penetrated into the hearts of the people of Fishman Island.

At the end of the live broadcast, Nepton first gave a generous speech, and then issued the long-awaited conscription order facing the whole country!

The people of Fishman Island did not know that this draft order was the first step in Neptune's formal change.

From this moment, with the intervention of Maud, the future of Fishman Island began to take a different path.

Then, the live broadcast ends.

Many murlocs on the island who usually do nothing, are all thinking about this paper conscription order.

And just half an hour after Neptune's live broadcast ended, another major event occurred that shocked the entire Fishman Island.

A few murlocs returned to Coral Hill, a port town previously occupied by pirates, and then found several newspapers with explosive news in the messy tavern.

The benefactor... not only attacked the Holy Land Mariejoa, but also killed two Tianlong people with his own hands!

These tall and sturdy murlocs looked at the contents of the newspaper in shock.

Even though they have carefully confirmed the content of the report several times, they still doubt their eyes.

And this newspaper is actually an old newspaper some time ago.

In itself, Fishman Island, which is located 10,000 meters below the seabed, is difficult to receive newspaper news in the first place.

In addition to the invasion and occupation of the pirates, let alone newspapers, even the symbolic reinforcements sent by the navy were intercepted by the pirates.

Now.

There are no more pirates on Fishman Island.

This newspaper, which was not known to the residents of Fishman Island, was directly exposed to the eyes of the residents of Fishman Island at the moment when Maud helped Fishman Island relieve the crisis.

Under the push of these murlocs, this shocking and explosive news spread throughout the entire murloc island in a short period of time.

Killing two Heavenly Dragon people... I don't even dare to think about such a thing!

I can't believe it's real.

What kind of courage does it take to do such a great thing!

I didn't expect that there would be such a person in this world...

As the news spread, the fishman island, which had just been reborn, immediately boiled.

A Mermaid Cafe in Coral Hills.

Xiao Ba, whose injuries were properly treated, was temporarily placed here by Kemi.

The news that Maud killed two Tianlong people with his own hands also spread to the coffee shop and was informed by Xiaoba and others.

This kind of thing...

Kemi, who heard the news, opened her eyes and covered her mouth tightly.

Xiao Ba lowered his head, his body trembling slightly.

After a while.

He said in an inexplicable tone: That man... is the most terrifying human being I have ever encountered in my life.

When he said this, in Xiao Ba's mind, he couldn't help but see the scenes when Maud destroyed the dragon's territory.

If it was him...

Xiao Ba subconsciously clenched his fists and said in a low voice, Maybe it can be rescued...

At this point, Xiao Ba smiled bitterly and shook his head violently.

This fierce action involved the wound, causing a painful look on his face.

how can that be possible……

Xiao Ba whispered to himself.

Kemi heard Xiao Ba's self-talk, and asked curiously, Who do you want to rescue?

Xiao Ba was stunned when he heard the words, then shook his head and said, Nothing...

tonight.

In the mouths of everyone on Fishman Island, it is the name of Maud!

Dragon Palace City, inside the palace.

Mr. Maud, you actually... killed two Tianlong people?

Neptune, who learned of this, was looking at Maud with a shocked expression.

It's just killing two garbage, nothing to be surprised about.

Maud sat in his chair, his response was flat.

Trash, trash...?!

Neptune's jaw almost dropped.

He suddenly thought of something, suppressed his shocking heart, and said: Mr. Maud, you have done such an earth-shattering event, but the world government has not taken measures against you. What is this...

Because I still 'control' the lives of three Tianlong people.

Maud smiled slightly and told Nepton the reason very simply.

He has decided to firmly control the [Ancient Weapon Sea King Poseidon] in the palm of his hand, and the first step is to pull Fishman Island into his camp.

For this, he must establish a good relationship with the king.

Controlling the lives of three dragons... that's... unbelievable.

Neptune couldn't hide the shock on his face.

Is it unbelievable...

Mo De leaned on his chin and said softly: I have a 'family' who unfortunately fell into the hands of the slave capture team. In order to avoid the tragic future that can be foreseen, she slashed her face nineteen times...

Um?

Neptune's expression froze.

In the side room of the palace, Princess White Star who was eavesdropping, trembled slightly.

in the palace.

Maud continued: She doesn't know. I have carefully counted the number of scars on her face. At that time, I couldn't imagine her despair and helplessness at that time...

Speaking of which, Maud's eyes became extremely terrifying.

She is one of my most cherished people and I will do everything in my power to help her no matter what she wants to do.

She didn't want to see anyone being a slave again, so I came all the way and killed countless slave hunters.

Her enemies are the Dragons, so once I have enough power...

Maud looked up at Neptune with a dignified expression, and said in a very calm tone: It will definitely kill one Tianlong person, and now, it's just two.

!!!

Hearing what Maud said, Nepton was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

Before today, as the king of Ryugu Castle, he could never have imagined that there were such strong human beings in the world.

Inside the palace, even in the side room of the palace.

In these few seconds, it was quiet enough to hear needles falling.

After a long time.

Maud's voice sounded again.

During the period when the pirates and the slave-catching team invaded Fishman Island, I don't know how many mermen were kidnapped... Neptune, if you want to completely put an end to this phenomenon, then make an appointment with me.

you say……

Neptune's heart pounded.

Maud's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

I, Bacardi Maud, will lead you to land one day in the future.

!!!

Neptune, and even the white star in the side room, showed incredible expressions.
