Pirate's Gas Fruit

Chapter 430 Encountering a mountain bandit halfway!
At this time, Mod had almost no cover along the way. A three-foot iron rod came all the way, pushing aside any enemy who dared to provoke. On the way to the Flower Capital, an iron rod defeated countless samurai who came to disturb them. With pirates.
On a horse path on a hillside in the woods, Maude held an iron rod against the head of a big man with a poor face, and in his hand was a large knife tied with a wooden rod and an iron blade. He glanced at the ground around him and fell to the ground. A dozen men dressed in rags held hoes and wooden sticks in their hands.
"Hey, are you bandits or civilians? Why did you attack me?" Mod looked at the trembling and sweating bandit leader and said speechlessly,
After saying this, the other dozen or so bandits smiled awkwardly, but the leader's strong man said with bright eyes and a nervous and worried expression,
"We used to be commoners who farmed the land, but because we could no longer survive, we joined forces and became bandits. We have been occupying the small sunny slope. We only robbed you when we saw you alone!"

"Sorry, please spare us. We were forced to do this by the pirates and General Black Carbon Orochi!"

Maud looked at the miserable group of bandits around him and said righteously, "It's still reasonable to be a bandit, but no matter how hard and tired you are, you can't be a bandit. If you do this kind of thing, you will be beheaded. Pay the money." Come out or I'll kill you!"

"Master Samurai, you are also a bandit. Why are you robbing us when we are already suffering so much?" The strong man leader was stunned and said with a bitter look on his face.
Maud looked at these guys, they are all bandits and you still complain to me, what a joke, and shouted,

"You are bandits now, not civilians. Your sufferings are none of my business. Now that you are bandits, you think you can complain like civilians. Your lives are no longer protected by this country, but bandits are no longer civilian!"

"I didn't know this, so I came out to rob and kill people. I really thought I could kneel down and beg for mercy when I was in danger!"

The leader was surprised. He couldn't understand that it was useless for them to kneel down and beg for mercy when they were civilians. Those adults and nobles had no reason to let them go. But the samurai in front of him was so powerful that he didn't dare to retaliate. De went to their bandit den.
When they came to a river near a mountain and a river in a dense forest, several small thatched houses were the nests of these bandits. The leader of the bandits reluctantly handed a large bag of money to Maud.
When they were spread out on the grass, a smell of sour smell came from the clothes. Maude felt disgusted and waved his hands to purify the smell. When he looked down, he found more than 20 pieces of civilian clothes, and even children's clothes. It was obvious that this group of bandits Those who are too weak will attack weak civilians and children.
"There are also women's clothes. Where are these people? Did you kill them?" Maud plucked the iron rod and found brightly colored clothes with a pile of coins underneath. He couldn't help but feel disgusted. The relationship between bandits and bandits The level gap is really the difference between heaven and earth.
The brawny leader quickly explained that these people did not want to kill people but just wanted money. He quickly explained,

"No, no, we just knocked them out and stripped them naked. But that woman was given to my brother in the village as a wife. They are very happy now!"

"Happiness, you all have a grimace on your faces as bandits, and you still expect that the woman who was robbed will be happy in your heart. Bring her here immediately, or I will kill all of you!" Maud turned around and stared with a speechless expression. The bandit leader smiled coldly at the strong man.
"Here, I'll go right away, samurai-sama, please don't kill us!"

As soon as the words came out, before the strong man leader could speak, several people took action. One of them, a shrewd and thin man, spoke instinctively with fear, and quickly rushed back to the nearby village with several others. The strong man leader held the wooden and iron pieces. The big sword that was tied up was now covered in cold sweat and trembling.
Half an hour later, those poor-looking bandits came over with a young woman with a delicate figure and a delicate face. She looked a little more beautiful than an ordinary woman. She was wearing a new kimono, but there was still a trace of sadness on her face. The color of fear.
When the strong man leader saw this woman coming, he immediately trembled and knelt down on the grass with his legs weak. The young woman stared viciously at the man in front of her, wanting to kill someone. Maud secretly thought it was interesting, it seems that things are not that simple.
When the thin commoner saw the boss kneeling down, he quickly and tactfully knelt down and begged for mercy, "Sir, Lan Xiang has been brought here. This is none of our business. Can you please spare us?"

When the others saw this, they also begged for mercy. Maude snorted and raised her right hand to signal. The young woman from Lanxiang came over. After a close scan, she found bruises on the slightly exposed skin. Maude couldn't help but sigh, this It's such a depressing thing that I really don't want to encounter.
The knife on Maude's waist was drawn out after a long time, and it shone with cold light. It was so sharp that the bandits who were kneeling on the ground trembled. Maude handed the knife to Lan Xiang, who was also a little scared.
"I'll lend you the knife. Kill whoever you want, and return it to me after you're done. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" Lan Xiang wanted to salute but her face showed pain, but she still took the sword in Maud's hand. She was shaking a little while holding the sword in her hands, but the woman still stepped towards the strong leader with a cold and hateful look. With great intention, the knife fell directly.
A scream spread through the whole forest, and the frightened birds flew up. Maude looked at the young woman holding the sword with blood on her new kimono, turned around and said unexpectedly, Yingying came over,

"On a?"

"That's enough, sir, this is your knife!" Lan Xiang, a young woman, nodded silently, knelt down and offered the knife back to Maude. Maude nodded, took the knife, and danced with a few swords. Sheath.
Maud didn't even look at the group of people behind him, and turned around to leave. Not long after leaving, Lan Xiang, a young woman who was kneeling behind, quickly stood up and panted and chased after her; a group of bandits behind him were trembling and heading towards The dead boss couldn't help but feel lucky to have escaped.
A few hours later, in a small abandoned temple in the woods, Maude cooked a pot of game mixed with wild vegetables and wild beasts, and the aroma of meat could be heard for a while.
Just when Maud was about to start eating, the young woman wearing a kimono, Ranxiang, who was sitting quietly aside, hurriedly reminded,

"The water and food nearby are poisonous, and you can't eat them if they are not clean!"

"Don't worry, these foods can be eaten, as long as you go to the upstream that is not polluted by water to find food, there will be no problem at all!" Maud raised his head and smiled indifferently, stirred a pot of wild game and directly filled a bowl for the other party, directly I immediately ate it.
Lan Xiang reminded with conviction, "But everyone says that all the water and food in the Flower City are poisonous. If you eat it, you will get stomachaches and even die from poisoning!"

Mod didn't care about Ichiraku. After all, these civilians in Wano really thought that the wastewater from the steel factory was nuclear pollution, which could lead to the extinction of life in large areas. The power of nature is far beyond human imagination, and it has its own Purifying ability.
Wastewater alone is nothing but a scourge. It flows along the wastewater and pollutes the watersheds along the river. It is simply impossible to spread it over a large area. The rocks are like filters that will directly filter out these pollutants.
For example, Jianlu Village is located downstream of the flow of wastewater, while Taoyuan Farm is upstream. This means that the food grown in Jianlu Village cannot be eaten, but the food grown on the farm can be eaten.
Maud ignored the woman in front of her and started eating. After a big meal, she couldn't help but feel her belly with satisfaction. When Lan Xiang saw that she was really hungry, she gritted her teeth and started eating too.
After the two of them had eaten, Maud and Maud rested for a while respectively. Maud stood up and was about to leave. When she saw that the other party was still following her, she couldn't help but turn around and said silently,
"I am a powerful swordsman. I am challenging for the honor of Sword Master. I will encounter many strong enemies. A woman like you is not suitable to follow. Say it, I will send you wherever you want to go. Don't follow me!"

"I have an uncle who is a carpenter in the Flower City. I hope I can live with him, samurai-sama!" Lan Xiang felt aggrieved but still spoke out.
