The Scourge of Pirates

   Chapter 969 I believe Maud can do it

   This battle is over in a minute.

   will surely be engraved in the memory of countless people together with that majestic and powerful figure, and will never disappear.

  Baka. D. Maud.

  A brand new era will begin with this name.

   The so-called strongest in the world, as it should be.

   And how many years in the future.

   This most powerful throne will definitely make countless people discouraged.

  Because of the power of Maud—

   does not give any chance at all.

   Including tonight's battle that will be recorded in the history of the new era, there is a sense of despair and powerlessness everywhere.

  Long took the opportunity given by Maud and did see the odds.

   But the reality was more cruel than he imagined.

   The so-called odds of winning are nothing but the moon in the mirror.

   "Falling down..."

  Dragon woke up from the bed with a heavy expression on his face.

   The only thought in his mind was the intense unwillingness after failure.

"Dragon."

   Sabo sat upright in the chair beside the hospital bed.

   As a witness to this battle, his heart is not as heavy as that of a dragon.

   Perhaps, as the leader of the revolutionary army, Long needs to shoulder the beliefs and ideals of many of his companions.

   That's why I'm so obsessed with the right to make decisions.

   But Sabo doesn't think so much.

   To change the world that has been decaying for a long time, as long as the leader can live up to expectations, then it doesn’t matter who takes the lead.

   can be a dragon, it can be Maud, or it can be someone else.

"can you accept?"

  Sabo looked at the dragon and asked softly.

   Actually this question doesn't make any sense.

  Because whether it is acceptable or not, the current situation cannot be changed with the existing capabilities of the revolutionary army.

   So the dragon's response was silence.

  In a small tent.

  The two men looked at each other silently.

   After a long time.

  Dragon's eyes were lowered, and he said solemnly, "One year, I want to see what he will bring to the world."

"Ah."

   Sabo smiled and looked up at the top of the tent, with anticipation in his eyes.

"End the era of pirates within a year, and sweep away the illegal transactions in the underground world within a year... This kind of declaration is empty of words, but Maud is different, I believe he can do what he says. "

  “…”

  Long lowered his head and stared at the sheets, silent.

Sabo withdrew his gaze from the top of the tent, turned to look at the dragon, and said seriously: "Only in one year, I can connect thousands of islands in the world. I don't think even Maud can do it, but I'm willing to go. Looking forward to that day.”

   "Then wait and see..."

  Dragon's tone was rather low.

   Although power is the capital of the final word, he always believes that power alone cannot change the world.

   It's just him now, so he can only watch quietly.

  Look at that man…

How    will change the world.

   "Sabo!"

   "There are a lot of grilled lobsters, hurry up and eat them!"

   Suddenly, Luffy's shouting voice came from outside.

   Inside the tent.

   Sabo and Dragon couldn't help but look out.

  The former looked happy, while the latter raised his hand and stroked his face, as if resisting something.

   "Sabo, you go out."

  Dragon said with an expressionless face.

When    was about to challenge Maud, he didn't have the time to pay attention to Luffy, so he thought he didn't know Luffy.

   Now…

   He really didn't want to see Luffy here.

  Sabo looked at the dragon's reaction, grinned, and shouted, "Luffy, I'm here."

  “…”

  Dragon's cheeks trembled a little, but it was straightforward and elementalized directly.

   A gust of wind blew inside the tent.

   The sheets fluttered upwards and then fell slowly.

   And the dragon has disappeared.

   Also at this moment, Luffy followed the sound and opened the curtain to see Sabo sitting beside the hospital bed.

   "Sabo, what are you doing here?"

   Luffy wondered.

"nothing."

   Sabo smiled and shook his head.

  Luffy snorted, and immediately said excitedly: "Come with me, Maud has prepared a lot of big lobsters, and Ace will eat them up if they don't go there!"

"Ha ha."

  Sabo smiled heartily and joked: "If Ace eats up the lobster, I'll let him go into the sea and catch it again."

   "Kais is a landlubber just like me."

   Luffy tilted his head slightly, thinking hard about the scene when Ace went into the sea to catch lobsters.

   Sabo patted Luffy on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go over there first."

"Ok."

   Luffy nodded.

  The two brothers left the tent and went to the open-air banquet side by side.

   Before leaving, Sabo looked back at the empty tent, then turned his head to look at Luffy, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

   Obviously they are two fathers and sons.

   As a result, one was heavy-hearted because of the defeat after the war, while the other put the defeat out of his mind and only focused on eating a good meal.

  The two father and son are too different...

   Sabo thought silently in his heart.

far away.

   Above the night sky, the surging black clouds no longer exist.

  The full moon hangs high, and the bright moonlight shrouds the red earth.

   Pile of bonfires several meters high are scattered around, and people eat meat and drink in front of the bonfires, laughing more and more.

   In front of a huge bonfire.

  Maud was sitting cross-legged, slowly peeling a lobster.

   The flames flickered, beating in his eyes.

   just couldn't hide his scarlet **** eyes no matter what.

On Maud's left, the pirates are sitting in front of the bonfire in turn, while on the right is Shanks with a bottle of spirits in his hand, and the red-haired pirates with **** B Beckman Chief officers.

   "Ow, Bailey's dead, Bailey's dead!"

   Qiushui in the form of a dragon, coiled on Maud's arm, and shouted at the tender white lobster meat that exuded the aroma of heat.

   "No hurry, just peel it off."

  Maud broke off the last hard shell, and then handed the fragrant chunk of lobster meat to Qiushui.

   Qiushui couldn't wait to open the dragon's mouth and bite the whole piece of lobster meat into his mouth in one breath, suddenly showing a happy look.

   "Bailey is dead, Bailey is dead!"

   Then, Qiushui urged Maud to peel off another one quickly.

  Maud smiled and pointed at Qiushui's head, picked up another lobster, lowered his head and slowly peeled it.

   Qiushui craned his neck and looked eagerly at the lobster in Maud's hand.

   "Alas, what a poor little fellow."

Bailey skillfully removed the lobster shell, sucked his head down and ate the lobster meat, and immediately sneered: "If you can't peel a lobster, it's fine, after learning so long, you can only say one sentence when it comes and goes, shouldn't it be a brain? The development hasn't kept up."

After    mocking, Bailey pried open the head of the lobster and waved toward the autumn water like a demonstration.

   Qiushui noticed Bailey's actions and snorted coldly.

   "Bailey is dead, Bailey is dead!"

   She raised the faucet and looked down at Bailey.

   seems to mean that she has a master who peels lobster meat, but a skunk who has fallen out of favor can only do it by himself.

   "Bang, I don't understand at all."

   Bailey grinned, then took a hard bite of the lobster head.

   He also knew that Qiu Shui definitely didn’t say good things, but he didn’t think about it that way.

   "She said you were a poor **** and could only peel the lobster meat yourself."

   Chopper happened to pass by, and Friendship acted as a translator.

  “???”
