Seeing this, Maude secretly said hello and followed him silently.
There were two people missing from the dining table, but it did not affect the conversation between Shanks and Thor.
"Too… "
Shanks smiled, unable to refute Thor's words.
Thor drank the wine in one gulp and said calmly: "In the past few decades, there have been as many pirates as crucian carp crossing the river, but in the end, how many will die a good death? How can an old guy like me who has been eliminated by the times? I would be satisfied with just one more day of breathing.”
“…”
Shanks was silent.
Sunny whispered: "I can still run to Flower Street every day..."
Shanks suddenly smiled.
"Talk less and eat more."
Thor first glared at Sunny, then looked sideways at Shanks, and snorted: "Why are you laughing? If you understand, don't do it again in the future."
Shanks said seriously: "Then please reveal the location of the island where the wine is stored."
"roll!"
... ... ...
in the corridor.
"What's up?"
Jesus stood at the door of the toilet and turned his head to look at Maud who was following him.
Maud nodded and spoke in a low voice: "I want to ask you for some lead bullets and gunpowder."
"Huh?" Jesus looked at Mod strangely, "This is a weapons store."
Just ask for a gun during the day, but ask for ammunition at night
"That's true, but..."
Maud was at a loss for words and wanted to find a suitable reason as soon as possible, but he didn't have Sunny's skillful way of putting the blame on Thor while talking and laughing.
Seeing that Maude stopped talking, Jesus did not go into details and took out a small amount of lead bullets and gunpowder from the ammunition bag.
"Are these enough?"
"enough!"
Maude nodded sharply, fearing that Jesus would regret it, so she raised her hand and quickly took the ammunition.
Jesus Bu was a little speechless. It was only a few rounds of ammunition, so what
He looked at the lights in the restaurant and thought that the boss and Mr. Sol would probably have to chat for a while, so he simply squatted down in front of the toilet door, took out his cigarette and started smoking.
After getting the ammunition, Maud had no intention of staying and was going to go to the room on the second floor to collect the ammunition.
As a result, before he even took a step forward, he saw Jesus handing over a cigarette.
"Do you want to smoke?"
"Well… "
Maude couldn't refuse, so she put the ammunition properly in her pocket first, and then took the cigarette.
Jesus breathed out a puff of smoke, maybe out of boredom, and started talking at the right time.
"Ever thought about giving the gun a name?"
After hearing this, Maud thought for a while and was about to answer, but was overtaken by Jesus Bu: "Oh, I always call it old man, but I can't accompany it to the end. Things like guns are not as easy as swords. To be remembered by name.”
"Even if you give the gun a famous name, people will remember it, and it is usually the person who uses the gun. But I hope you remember that a good gun can make a good sniper. By the way, you What are you going to name the old man?"
"I… "
Maude was about to speak, but was interrupted again.
"Actually, I'm still a little bit reluctant to leave my old friend behind, but after handing it over to you, I don't know why, but I always feel an indescribable sense of relief."
"I… "
"It's just that as a shooter, your physical condition must keep up. It's not possible for someone like you. Your body is too weak."
"I… "
"Hey, what am I doing? With Mr. Sol here, it's not my turn to give you advice. Haha, by the way, I still don't know what you want to name the gun."
"I… "
"How about calling him Usopp? What a cute name. In fact, that's my son's name. Now that I think about it, he should be about the same age as you."
“…”
There was choking smoke in front of the toilet door.
Maud realized.
Don't even think about talking to a drunk chatterbox.
Just listen and that's it.
Chapter 12 Devil Fruit
Late at night.
The wine was gone and the food was finished.
Shanks and Jesus Bu left.
Before leaving, Maude promised Jesus that she would take good care of the gun as she would her son.
Then, after Jesus left, Mod silently gave the musket a new name—Usopp.
As the night got darker, Maude, who had obtained the gun and bullets, lay on the bed contentedly, and sleepiness gradually came over her.
Vaguely, I could hear Saul yelling about being cheated and why he had run out of wine.
But those are no longer important.
The important thing is that I have a gun and bullets, and I have taken a big step towards my second hunt.
The next day.
Maud woke up early again.
First I did a few sets of high-load exercises, and then I went down to the first floor.
At this time, Sunny had already prepared a nutritious breakfast, and Sol went to Flower Street early for morning exercises.
I have to say it again, it’s no exaggeration to say that the food in the store is heavenly.
But what makes Maude feel strange is that the food is so good and Sunny Dunton eats a lot, but why is her figure so flat...well, so thin.
It's strange, it's strange, I can't stop talking.
After devouring breakfast, Maude cleared the table by herself without Sunny's instructions, and then cleaned the shop as usual.
Seeing that there was still some time, I also cleaned the corridors and other places.
After that, Sunny went downstairs and took out a thin ruler to measure the placement of the products one by one.
After doing this, the store started a new day of business.
Just like yesterday, several hours passed without a single customer.
However, when Jesus bought two guns for five million beli yesterday, Maude had already changed her mind about this store.
This is obviously a high-quality weapons store, one that does not open for three days but lasts three years after opening.
With nothing to do, Maude did a few sets of exercises besides sorting out her memories.
Sunny sat at the counter and read the daily newspaper carefully.
She turned a blind eye to Modena's exercise in the store and did not interfere excessively.
Such a relaxed management attitude made Maud feel relaxed.
Near noon, the store door was pushed open.
Maude thought it was Sol who had returned from his morning exercises, but when he looked up, he saw that the person coming was the undertaker Arthur.
Arthur walked into the store, closed the door with his backhand, then looked at Sunny and Maud, and asked, "Is Thor back?"
"not yet."
Sunny put down the newspaper and responded.
Arthur said strangely: "It's already this late, and he hasn't come back yet? He's really getting younger with each passing day."
Sunny fell silent.
Arthur didn't care, walked to the counter, half-leaned on the counter, and started to complain to himself.
"Nearly a thousand slaves were killed and injured in the pig factory yesterday because of the riot. I was really exhausted. I don't know what these slaves were thinking. Isn't it good to live peacefully? It's better now. There are so many casualties. The pig factory If the production capacity cannot keep up in the short term, aren’t the other slaves the unlucky ones?”
Listening to Arthur sucking the slave from the left to the right, Sunny's expression gradually became cold.
Noticing Sunny's reaction, Arthur patted the mask on his face and apologized insincerely: "Sorry, sorry, I almost forgot that you don't like hearing this."
Sunny snorted coldly and was too lazy to talk to Arthur anymore.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Arthur smiled nonchalantly, took out a plain pamphlet from his pocket, and put it on the counter.
"This is the brochure that the auction just released today. I think Sol will be very interested. By the way, I will tell him that I will be waiting for him at the gate of the auction at the end of the month."
"oh."
Sunny's attitude was cold.
Arthur shrugged and turned to leave.
Before leaving, he looked back at Maude and said in a conspiratorial tone: "Little guy, it's best not to run into the street during this period, lest you be caught and taken to the pig factory to make up for the loss."
After saying that, Arthur opened the door and left, but he didn't forget to maintain the unspoken rules of the store - closing the store door.
After Arthur left, Maud approached the counter and asked, "Sunny, where is the pig factory?"
"Part of the meat you ate in the morning came from the pig factory. Where did you say that was?"
"But what does that have to do with being a slave..."
Halfway through, Maude suddenly thought of some scenes that would be harmonized, her face immediately changed, and she lost her voice: "Could those meats be...?"
Seeing Maud's reaction, Sunny knew that Maud must have thought wrong.
"What are you thinking about? It's just a food production base, with a sound animal husbandry and planting industry. The people who work there are mostly ordinary people who were plundered from various places by slave ships and pirates. There are also some A few were navy soldiers who were captured by pirates, so they were given the joking name.”
After explaining this, Sunny suddenly glanced at Maud's bandage that had not been taken off, and said pointedly:
"In the eyes of that group of beasts, the more seriously injured targets are worthless goods. Sometimes, considering the cost of transportation, it is impossible to send them to the black market for sale in a time-consuming and labor-intensive manner. They are usually thrown directly into the sea for disposal."
After a pause, Sunny said calmly: "So, Maud, you are lucky."
"Are you lucky..."
Maud looked thoughtfully at the disfiguring scars on Sunny's face, nodded and said, "Indeed, I am lucky to wake up here."
"Actually, you should thank Thor, he..."
Sunny opened the book left by Arthur, and suddenly stopped mid-sentence, her expression suddenly became excited.
"Devil Fruits, there are actually Devil Fruits in this auction!"
"Um?"
Maude raised her brows and walked into the counter without caring about the consequences, looking at the picture album in Sunny's hand.
A fruit with strange ripples suddenly came into view.
Looking at the picture of the fruit, Maude's eyes changed immediately.
Devil Fruit, the shortcut to becoming stronger that most people dream of!
Unfortunately, with the current capital, it is undoubtedly impossible to obtain this devil fruit.
Maude didn't dare to think about it and quickly calmed down.
He noticed that Sunny's fingers that were holding the album turned white due to excessive force, and he could clearly feel Sunny's excitement.
