After landing on the northern coast this morning, Maud had Lafitte and the others leave immediately.
According to Lafitte's estimate, getting from here to Mongmong Island and back would take at least twenty days.

While turning the rabbit skewered on a stick, Maud answered Usopp's questions.
To be honest, Maud felt that Yasopp was truly unreliable as
