Kuma went into Luo's Operating Room.
Maud was surprised, but did not interfere further.
After staying at the temporary base for a while, Maud left alone and arrived at a small grove not far outside the village.
Leaning against a withered tree that had lost all signs of life, Maud opened the cover of the Den Den Mushi on his wristwatch and dialed the communication number Sabo had specially prepared for him.
A few seconds later, the call connected.
"Maud... It's rare for you to call me first."
Sabo's slightly breathless voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
The lingering sound was accompanied by the sounds of fighting and gunshots.
Perhaps because of that, Sabo had not called out Maud's name.
"Are you busy?"
Hearing the sounds of battle, Maud raised his eyelids.
"Yeah, a little."
Sabo replied, followed immediately by a series of dull thuds as fists struck flesh.
Maud figured Sabo was probably in the middle of a battle. To answer a call under such circumstances, he really was...
"Then go ahead and handle your business. I'll call you tonight."
"No need to go to that much trouble. Since you called me first, you must have something important to say."
As soon as Sabo finished speaking, a deafening explosion rang out.
Judging from the commotion, the battle must have been extremely fierce.
The Revolutionary Army would take the initiative to fight only to rescue slaves or attack a country...
Could they be attacking a country?
Maud shook his head slightly. Since Sabo had said there was no problem, he would not hang up and would get straight to the point.
"Kuma has come to Lor Island. Did you send him?"
"Kuma? Which Kuma?"
"The Shichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma."
"..."
Sabo's end suddenly fell silent.
