Mengmeng Island is isolated from the rest of the world and is located in a remote area. Even the newspaper delivery gulls come once a week.
Maude stayed here for a while, and as Saul said, it is a very suitable place for retirement.
But Maude still prefers the chaotic and disorderly place like Mad Hatter Town, where there are vicious prey everywhere, no, pirates.
In comparison, Mengmeng Island...
Maud was quite disappointed at first, but later, under the supervision of Thor, he had to perform high-load physical exercise every day.
Gradually, I no longer think about unrealistic things, but concentrate on exercising and strive to learn the moon step as soon as possible.
However, if your physical fitness is not up to standard, it will be very difficult to learn the moon step.
Without the shortcuts brought by the hunter's notes, even if Mod could complete the training tasks given by Thor every day, the improvement in physical fitness would be very limited.
You know, not to mention Sabo, who has undergone rigorous training by the Revolutionary Army since he was a child, take Luffy and Zoro as examples. Their physical strength has been honed since childhood.
Unless he is a born monster, how can he have a strong body without time
If you don't have strong physical fitness, even if you understand the principles of many moves, you can only keep them as theories in your head.
The problem that Mod is facing now is that he cannot use the Hunter's Notes and can only slowly spend time on the island to hone his physical strength.
Compared with this, the experience and skills taught by Sol are more valuable.
On this day, the sky is as blue as the sea.
On the grassland, sheep were in groups of threes and twos, which looked very abnormal, running around like active animals.
Maude was carrying a boulder on her back and doing push-ups on the grass.
The process of exercising has always been monotonous and boring. No matter what method is adopted, it just comes and goes.
The most important thing is not the method, but persistence.
Thor and Jabba sat on a round stone more than ten meters away.
The two of them each held a pipe and smoked leisurely in the breeze.
It's like herding sheep. You find a place and sit there for most of the day.
So for Jabba, sitting here and watching Maud train hard is actually no different from tending sheep.
"You want to retire here?"
Jabba shook his pipe, turned his head and glanced at Thor, who was leisurely and contented, and then quickly looked away.
"Why, you don't welcome me?"
Thor looked at Jabba's bare forehead.
He was clearly the guy with the most hair in the pirate group back then, but now he has a bald head. Maybe it's because he couldn't help but lose all his hair in old age, right
And those little sunglasses, I really plan to wear them for the rest of my life.
Thor speculated maliciously in his heart.
Jabba once again glanced at Thor, who was extremely mentally active, and said meaningfully: "Welcome is welcome, but don't expect to be freeloaders all the time."
"Ah, thanks to our long friendship, I didn't expect you to care about such a thing?"
"Can friendship be used as food?"
Jabba replied indifferently.
When Sol heard this, he immediately looked up at the blue sky and changed the subject: "I'm hungry. Why hasn't Xiaoya come yet?"
"You old guy..."
Jabba shook his head.
There was silence on the stone for a few minutes.
Thor looked at Mod, who was not far away, and suddenly said: "Jabba, I brought them to Mengmeng Island specifically, not just for retirement. You should have guessed this."
Jabba took off his pipe and said calmly: "You have always been so thick-skinned, but this time you are better. You have endured it for so long before bringing it up."
Sol chuckled and said, "I won't let you work for nothing. If you have any requests, just ask them. As long as I can do it, I won't give you a second thought."
“…”
Jabba was silent after hearing this, and sighed after a moment: "I would never have thought in my wildest dreams that you, an old miser, would put so much effort into someone else."
At this point, Jabba glanced at Thor's empty left leg.
Regarding Mad Hatter Island and Maud, on the night of the meeting, Jabba listened to Thor playing all night.
Sol waved his hand and said, "You won't understand."
"Hey."
Jabba raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "I really don't understand. I don't understand why you don't let this little guy learn swordsmanship. I think this little guy is good at learning swordsmanship. No matter how bad he is, he can learn two axes from me. Is it better than learning how to shoot a gun?"
Listening to Jabba's unkind words, several blue veins popped up on Thor's forehead.
If he hadn't been begging Jabba, he would have started squirting right now.
Bear it!
Sol's lips trembled a few times, so he could only put the cigarette holder into his mouth and take a few puffs to calm down.
Seeing Thor's reaction, a smile flashed in Jabba's eyes behind his sunglasses.
Times have changed, but many memories still seem like things that happened just a few years ago.
Thinking back to the beginning, Thor didn't know whether it was because his head was caught in the door, or because he saw Roger Reilly and others using their swords to cut down the enemy's domineering posture, and suddenly said that he wanted to learn the sword.
In order to learn the sword, he began to shamelessly pester Roger Reli and the others.
In the end, it was Roger who struck Thor so hard with a few words that the matter came to an end.
At that time, Sol, who was so disappointed, even went on a hunger strike for half a month.
Now think about it, if Thor was determined to learn swordsmanship, how could there be such a reassuring backup sniper on the ship
With a smile on his lips, Jabba picked up his pipe and took a sip. He suddenly noticed something and turned his head to look behind him.
"coming."
"Oh, lunch is finally here."
Sol also looked behind him and saw Jia Ya walking over holding a big pot with one hand.
Jaba pointed out something: "I already gave Xiaoya instructions this morning."
"What?"
"What's in that pot is not an ordinary lunch, but the 'food supplement' you asked for for this kid."
Chapter 135 Three months
It has been about half a month since I came to Mengmeng Island.
During this period, those who eat Jabba, those who wear Jabba, and those who live in Jaba.
Therefore, Saul has been holding back and not raising his true intention.
Until today, Thor finally couldn't help but bring it up, but he didn't expect that Jabba had already prepared it for him in advance.
Looking at the cauldron that Jia Ya held in her hand, Sol looked touched, noting that so many years of friendship had not been in vain.
"Jabba you..."
Thor originally wanted to say thank you, but no matter how many words of gratitude he said, it was not as good as a practical action.
then.
Bah!
Thor leaned forward and slapped Jabba hard in the face.
Feeling the moist feeling on his face, Jabba was stunned for a moment.
"Your uncle!"
After reacting, Jabba kicked Thor off the stone, then raised his sleeves and wiped the saliva from his face.
Sol chuckled and stood up without any concern.
At this time, Jaya came over.
When she saw Sol's actions just now, she didn't react at all, and slowly placed the big iron pot on the grass.
Thor ignored Jabba's exaggerated reaction.
It’s just that I didn’t brush my teeth in the morning and then kissed her, it’s not a big deal.
Muttering something in his mind, Sol came to the iron pot and rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Xiaoya, do you also know about 'food supplements'?"
"Understand a little bit."
Jayana's narrowed eyes curved into crescent shapes.
Thor only thought that Jaya was being modest, and with a little relief, he called Maud over.
"You brat, come over for dinner."
"Just come."
Maude shouted, slowly stood up, untied the rope, and put the stone on her back to the ground aside.
Raising her hand to wipe the sweat from her face, Maud walked towards the iron pot.
"It smells so good."
Before opening the lid, Maud smelled the rich aroma.
"Sister Ya, what did you cook today?"
"Mean lamb stew."
Jaya smiled at Maud and lifted the lid.
The hot steam carrying a rich aroma suddenly leapt out of the pot. After the heat dissipated slightly, a pot full of stewed mutton was revealed.
The crystal clear amber soup hangs on the mutton cut into cubes, with faintly visible spots of green and wisps of luster.
Looking at this pot of mutton stew, Maud and Thor's eyes lit up.
The aroma alone is enough to arouse their appetite, not to mention the presentation that can make people's food cravings.
Jia Ya took out a pair of long wooden chopsticks from behind her back and handed them to Maud immediately.
"Eat it while it's hot. If it's cold, the effect will be half. Also... you have to finish it."
"The effect is half? What do you mean?"
Maude took the chopsticks with a puzzled look and looked at Jia Ya, who had her eyes squinted most of the time.
"You'll know after you eat it."
"All right."
Maude didn't think much, picked up a piece of mutton and stuffed it into her mouth.
As soon as the hot mutton hits your saliva, it slowly melts on the tip of your tongue like snow melting in spring.
As soon as Maude closed her mouth, before chewing, the mutton slid into her throat like jelly.
As the mutton enters the belly, a faint warmth arises in the body.
The body that was originally very tired seemed to have some strength at this moment.
"This feeling… "
A look of surprise appeared on Mod's face, and she thought silently in her heart: It's a bit like the changes brought to the body when rising to the stars, but it's not obvious, just like a dragonfly touching water.
"Sister Ya, is this really ordinary mutton stew?"
"Yeah, regular lamb stew."
Jia Ya said with a smile.
Seeing that Jia Ya had no intention of explaining, Maude gave up questioning and started eating the mutton.
As the pieces of mutton enter the belly, the warmth flowing in the body becomes more and more obvious.
