The Scourge of Pirates

Chapter 24 Potential Goals

Taking advantage of the grand auction event to fish in troubled waters was something Maude decided half a month ago.

If the hunt before this was not smooth enough, then decisively give up the idea.

But the hunt went smoothly, and the weapons were sufficient, how could he obey Sonny's warning.

After returning to the room, Maude changed into a darker dress, and then took out the disguise he had prepared in advance.

Dead word armband,

Face mask.

The inspiration for this preparation came from the funeral director Arthur.

Therefore, the mask that Maude made by himself is somewhat similar to that of Arthur.

The only regret is that he can't imitate Arthur's brightly styled engineering clothes, otherwise he might be able to make Arthur carry a scapegoat.

Mod swiftly tied the death band, put on a mask that showed only his mouth and eyes, and then looked in the mirror.

"Well, it's okay."

Maude nodded in satisfaction.

Wearing a mask as a funeral director is the best way to cover up.

After disguising, Maude checked the weapons and ammunition.

Two flintlock pistols, a short dagger, and most importantly [Usopp].

"Thirty lead bullets should be enough."

Maude checked the ammunition bag carefully.

After the preparation was complete, Maude couldn't wait to go outside.

Climbing to the top of the house with ease and heading towards the tallest building nearby.

After a while, Maude came to the top floor of a five-story house.

Looking directly at the brightly lit streets, it is hard to imagine that such a bustling night scene would come from an impossible zone where many pirates gathered.

"The auction starts at nine o'clock, and there are two hours left."

Maude sat down without delay.

He never thought about going into the auction house from start to finish.

It was not that he was afraid of being bumped into by Sol, but he felt that the potential risk in the auction house was higher than outside.

Therefore, as long as he can get a few fish out of the periphery, he is very satisfied.

Before the auction began, Maude did not intend to act.

When he was idle, he took out the handwritten notes given by Sonny and flipped it through the moonlight.

The contents of the notebook are not as much as expected, and the main targets are mostly the pirates who reside in Mad Hatter Town.

Maude looked at it word by word.

Perhaps it is Sunny's habit. Before writing down the strength information of each target, she will use a few simple words to describe the appearance of the target.

Although it is not as detailed as [Neighbors], it is enough for Maude to quickly recognize the identity of the target through the characteristics.

rustle--

Maude turned the page from time to time.

I can't remember clearly in a short time, just leave an impression.

"Hey, there are Kidd's too."

Turning to Kidd's page, Maude was slightly surprised.

After a closer look, the intelligence content tends to be more speculative.

For example, through Kidd's obsession with buying guns, it is speculated that Kidd's marksmanship is very good.

Looking at it completely, there is actually a lot of water, after all, it is basically speculated intelligence.

Presumably because Sunny had never heard of or seen Kidd's strength, and since Kidd came from the sea, she knew very little.

"Kid now probably hasn't eaten the Devil Fruit, and in terms of overall strength, it should be in the growth stage."

Maude recalled the memory of Kidd.

Assuming there is a chance to kill Kidd now, Maud may hesitate for a while, but he will certainly not miss the opportunity.

Because, no matter how much Kidd's experience value will increase in a few years, in Maude's view, it is not as important as the current experience value.

Turn to the next page and continue to check.

After turning a few pages, Maude suddenly saw his name, and there were several lines of description below it.

It's just that these words are all marked with two black lines.

At the bottom of the intelligence information, there are several huge question marks that are particularly eye-catching.

And these question marks were no exception to the black line.

"The black line is drawn as if I'm already dead."

Looking at the two straight black lines at the beginning and the end of the font, Maude shook his head slightly and continued to read.

Soon, I saw the bottom of the whole handbook.

Subsequently, Maude began to deepen his impression a second time.

After watching it for about an hour, and then I got the bottom of my heart, then I put my notes away.

To say that the most impressive thing is not the ruthless people who Sanny deliberately marked as extremely dangerous, but the Pirate Pirates of the Sharp Bull where Reid is.

Because of all the prey before, only Reid can involve a group behind him. As for the other prey, they are basically scattered pirates drifting with the flow.

"Pointy Bull Pirate Group..."

Maude got up, looked at the lights in the distance, and his mind became slightly active.

You will notice the Pirates of the Sharp Bull, not just because of Reid.

The main reason is that the captain of the Pirate Pirates is an animal demon fruit capable person.

Judging from the definitive information recorded by Sunny, it can only be known that it belongs to one of the categories of cattle.

And one of the characteristics of the animal demon fruit ability is to greatly enhance the physical fitness, which is precisely the goal that can bring the most benefits to Maude.

From this, Maude can probably also infer the strength characteristics of the Captain of the Pirate Pirates.

Roughly speaking, it has great strength, high defense, and high close combat capability.

If you want to treat such a target as prey, breaking defense is a point that needs to be paid attention to.

"Unfortunately, there is no reward order from Katzt."

Maude said to himself, thinking that he had to find some time to collect rewards from various pirates.

Otherwise, like now, although I want to record Kazt's name in the hunter's notes in advance, it can't be done because there is no [face image].

At this point, the pirate rewards issued by the navy made Maude a lot more convenient.

Not only a photo, but also a full name.

Although there may be errors in the name, the probability is extremely low.

"It's almost time."

Seeing that there was still an hour before the start of the auction, Maude stopped waiting and went straight to Wangjiao Street.

.........

Pub Street, bars in the alleyways.

The Pirate Pirates, led by Katzt, came to the entrance of this bar named [Night].

The roadway is not wide. Nearly a hundred men gathered here and suddenly crowded the roadway.

Catzt glanced at the sign of the bar, and immediately led the number 30 into the bar.

As for the others, they just surround the bar.

In the bar, the bartender Tata Mu and the wolf rat as a guest in the sense of the bar are both the Cazite and others who are expressionless looking at the bad visitors.

From the iconic pointed helmet, and the thick beard full of mouth.

Only at a glance, the wolf rat recognized the identity of Kazite-the captain of the Pirates of the Bull.

As for why Katzt led the crowd to come here, the wolf rat could guess it with his feet, and he was already mentally prepared.

Slowly turning the wine glass, the wolf rat glanced at the dull Tatam.

"Sorry."

A painless apology.

In this regard, Tatam was silent.

Katzt looked at the wolf rat coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Wolf rat, right? I, I don't like to be sloppy."

"Oh, I can tell."

The wolf rat glanced at Katzt's pointed helmet.

But he didn't panic at all.
