The tavern was noisy, almost full of people, and even the seats in front of the semi-circular bar were crowded with no gaps.
Good business is evident.
After going around in a circle, there are only a few inconspicuous seats next to the corner.
Maude was in one of the seats, and the small round table in front of him placed the rum and snacks that the waiter had just delivered.
He didn’t move the food or drink, but listened intently to the noisy chats around him.
“I heard that something happened to the auction last night?”
“Why, don’t you know?”
“I drank too much last night. If I hadn’t heard others talking on the way here, I really didn’t know what happened. What happened?”
“It is said that it was caused by a few big gangs in order to snatch the devil fruit. After all, it is the devil fruit. Who doesn’t want it?”
“Oh, have you been robbed?”
“No, all the guys who caused the incident were slaughtered by the bandits, and the devil fruit was also eaten by the bandit Capone Bege who bought it.”
“Hey, what is the transaction amount?”
“I heard that it is more than a billion, but I don’t know if it is true or not.”
“Hissss–”
The sound of a cold breath.
“So many? If I have more than one billion, where can the world go?”
“Idiot, if you have so much money, I will be the first to grab you.”
“What did you say?”
Bang.
The sound of a wooden wine glass hitting the table hard.
Immediately afterwards, there was a dull sound of fists coming and going, hitting the face and body.
The fist communication started after a disagreement, which can be described as a man’s unique romance.
Maude retracted his gaze and thought silently: “Capone Bege the gangster? Is he also in Mad Hatter? But there is no information about him in Sonny’s notebook. Is it because he came here specifically to get the devil’s fruit?”
“It turns out that he was the devil fruit that he ate at this point in time.”
In his mind, information about Capone Bege and the power of Devil Fruit suddenly appeared.
Listening to the Devil Fruit incident that most people around him were talking about, and learning about the reputation and status of the gangster Capone Bege, Maude couldn’t think much of him in a short time.
It is hard to imagine that a man with this status and power will choose to go to sea in the end.
It can only be said that people have their own ambitions.
“Did the Fishman slave finally run away?”
On the wine table not far from Maude, several pirates were talking about the Fishman slaves.
Maude couldn’t help but follow the voice and vaguely looked at the guests at that table.
“I didn’t run away, died in the alley. I heard that it was killed by a funeral director.”
“Funeral director? Why, now the funeral director’s business scope has expanded to Fishman corpses?”
“I don’t know this, and when the people at the auction site found the Fishman corpse, there were no missing parts in that corpse.”
“In other words…?”
“Hey, don’t be serious about things that can be spread everywhere. I also said that the Fishman slave was killed by a prostitute, do you believe it?”
“Hahaha, drink and drink.”
Listening to the discussion at that table, Maude frowned slightly, and couldn’t help but sigh softly in his heart.
He was not surprised to be discovered.
After all, whether it was on the street or the buildings near the laneway, the most indispensable thing at the time was people.
The reason for sighing is that after killing the Fishman slaves, the whole mind was immersed in the joy of rich profits, but it did not consider cutting away a few important “parts” from the Fishman corpse, so as to fit the disguise at the time, As a funeral director.
Be careful next time.
With this experience in mind, Maude subconsciously picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
He thinks that he is now an alcoholic, and it will inevitably be a bit weird if he doesn’t drink a toast for a long time.
What Maude didn’t know was that because of the Fishman slaves, the people at the auction site followed the clues to find Arthur with a similar working mask.
Had it not been for Arthur himself at the auction, he would have been invited to the auction house for a while and chat for a while.
However, Arthur also knew that someone was pretending to do some shameful deeds.
Putting down the wine glass, Maude observed the surrounding guests without a trace.
With limited intelligence channels, he can only obtain useful information through this method.
And every time the bar door was pushed open, he would subconsciously glance at it.
Crunch–
In some years, the wooden bar door was pushed open.
Maude looked over subconsciously, and after seeing that the person was a wolf rat, he quickly retracted his gaze.
“Is it the neurosis who seemed to be short of friends last night?”
Looking down at the dishes on the table, Maude was slightly surprised.
He obviously shot him last night, but now he looks like a okay person, still dressed up like a slapstick?
This is the resilience of the Zoan system…
Maude’s heart became a little hot.
Because I was not sure, I slipped decisively.
But now it’s different. After getting the income of Sam the Fishman, if you are fully prepared with your current strength, you can say less than five points.
Maude thought about it in his heart.
In front of the entrance of the tavern, Wolf rat scanned the scene, and soon found Maude sitting in the corner.
Compared with the guys around with naked arms fighting alcohol and spitting, Maude, who looked young and immature, was a bit conspicuous even when sitting in the corner.
“I found you, and… God helped me too.”
Wolf rat walked towards Maude calmly.
There are only a few seats left in the pub, and Maude’s wine table is small, but it is designed for two people.
In this case, choosing to sit next to Maude would not have such a strong purpose.
Otherwise, if there are more spacious and more comfortable seats around, he will have to squeeze at the table with Maude.
Then, people who are unclear about it might think that he is the base.
“Come here?”
Maude noticed the movement of Wolf rat and subconsciously looked at the empty space in front of him, and couldn’t help but feel a little painful.
It seemed like the same thing when I was in the pub last night.
The difference is that Lafayette’s reputation and aura were strong enough to attract the attention of most pirates in the tavern.
But now this corner of his eyes is full of cold and cold air, but the overall senses are biased towards the wretched animal powers, which is not so eye-catching.
“Fortunately, I wore a mask last night, and deliberately suppressed my voice, but next time I will never come to this almost full pub.”
Maude thought silently.
Although the clothes I wore last night were not the work clothes of funeral directors, in order to hide his figure, Maude deliberately wore bloated clothes.
Therefore, Maude felt that the possibility of Wolf rat recognizing itself was very low.
Footsteps approached.
Maude looked up and watched Wolf rat approaching, and then he sat in the opposite seat.
Seeing the other party’s reaction was no problem, Maude was even more sure that the other party did not recognize him.
“Oh, my little brother is handsome.”
After Wolf rat sat down as a stranger, he immediately looked at Maude with a stunning look, as if he had never seen such a handsome man before.
At the same time, his thoughts in his heart are: come first with a compliment to build an indestructible bridge for subsequent exchanges!
Hearing these slightly awkward words, Maude smiled politely at Wolf rat, and did not intend to speak up.
This guy… really lacks friends.
Maude thought in his heart.
Seeing that the start was good, Wolf rat first raised his hand to beckon the waiter to come, then looked at Maude again, and squeezed out an approachable smile that had been specially trained.
He thinks that this smile used to win goodwill is simply a catch.
As everyone knows, in the eyes of outsiders, that smile looks like a cramp in the next second.
“Brother, get to know, my name is wolf rat, how about you?”
“…”
Looking at Wolf-rat’s indescribable smile, Maude’s eyelids trembled lightly, and he simply reported his name.
“Usopp.”
“Your name is Usopp, how do you say that name, wonderful, really wonderful.”
Wolf rat immediately stroked his palms, his face exclaimed.
“Where is the beauty?”
“…”
Wolf rat was speechless for a while.
At this time, the tavern door was pushed open.
Hearing the sound, Wolf rat turned his head to look at the entrance of the tavern.
I saw a tall, revealing woman with big red lips coming in.
She was holding a white skunk in her hand, followed by a dozen strong men,
“Tsk, Usopp, look, there are beautiful women.”
Seeing the woman, Wolf mouse’s eyes shrank slightly, to divert the embarrassment just now.
Maude ticked the corner of his mouth slightly, so he didn’t pursue the problem just now, and looked at the woman who walked into the tavern.
At the same time, he was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the tavern was changing.
