The boy had a short haircut and several stains on his face and clothes. When he opened his mouth, the two gaps in his teeth were very conspicuous.
After stopping Maud and the others, the toothless boy took out a small book with several folded pages from his satchel.
"Sir, I have a tourist brochure about Dick City here. If you are willing to buy it, I think it can be of great help to you."
The boy looked calm, but his legs were shaking.
I don't know if it's nervousness or fear.
Maude looked with interest at the boy in front of her who took the initiative to do door-to-door sales.
He just wanted to ask for directions, but inexplicably he persuaded a group of people to retreat.
On the contrary, this boy who looked only eight or nine years old had the courage to stand in front of him.
"Got a map?"
"some!"
"How much?"
"A thousand beli!"
After hearing this, Maud directly took out a thousand beli and bought the so-called tourist brochure.
The toothless boy accepted the money, but did not leave directly. Instead, he watched Maud open the tourist brochure.
"What? Is there anything else?"
Maude opened the tourist brochure and looked down at the boy with the missing tooth.
The toothless boy's legs were still swinging, and he pretended to be calm: "If you are not satisfied with the 'tourist brochure', I can return it to you immediately."
The serious words spoken in an adult tone made Maude laugh.
On the other hand, Jia Ya and the others were the same, they just thought this little boy was a bit interesting.
"OK."
Maud nodded to the toothless boy and immediately read the manual.
To his surprise, the map in the manual was drawn by hand.
However, it is still understandable.
Maude glanced at the map and immediately saw the location of Thomas Shipyard. It was actually in the innermost part of Dick City and seemed to be built along the mountain wall.
"Did you draw this manual yourself?"
"Um."
The boy with missing teeth asked nervously: "Are you satisfied?"
"fine."
Maud put the manual away.
Seeing that Maud had no intention of returning the product, the toothless boy breathed a sigh of relief.
Maude looked at the boy with missing teeth and suddenly asked: "We are short of a guide, are you interested?"
"ah?"
The toothless boy's eyes widened.
Soon, he realized what he was doing. He didn't even ask about the reward, and just nodded like a fool.
Maud smiled and promised a suitable reward in a few words.
Led by the toothless boy, Maud and his party walked towards Dick City.
After Maud and the others left.
Many eyes in the dark looked at their backs.
Some of the owners of these eyes were holding Maud's reward orders, some were holding assassination orders, and some were even holding newspapers that reported on the Twin Islands incident some time ago.
"The Mord Pirates are here for the Devil Fruit, right?"
A man with two chains wrapped around his body and his hair and beard combed like fan blades whispered to himself.
Chapter 52 Is this money enough
Many eyes in the dark followed the retreating figures of Maud and his group.
To them, Maud is simply a bunch of walking Pele, which makes them feel hot and itchy.
But not being able to do so is another matter.
After all, risks and benefits coexist.
If you are not afraid of death, you can naturally give it a try.
That’s it, it’s the spicy drink that’s popular.
To die is to wave goodbye to this wonderful world.
In addition to those who are eyeing the head of Mord, there are also some people who are worried about the potential changes that the Mord Pirates may bring.
Among them, there is this fan blade man.
His name is Buffalo, he is one of the cadres of the Don Quixote family, and he is also a superhuman person with the ability to turn around the fruit.
But this time he came to Leviathan Island, but it was for a devil fruit.
"Bacardi Mod..."
Buffalo watched Mod and his party enter the city, wondering if he should ask the family to send a cadre to help.
Originally, Buffalo would not be so worried and cautious.
But the tragic events that Mod had committed on the Twin Islands recently were the source of unease for Buffalo.
In his opinion, anyone who can do such a thing is either a murderous person, or a perverted lunatic or a violent maniac...
In short, it cannot be a good bird.
People like this are the most terrifying.
Maybe if they meet you on the street, they will shoot you for no reason.
The more Buffalo thought about it, the more uneasy he became, while the image of Maude in his mind became more and more bloody.
"Well… "
When the horror came to mind, Buffalo couldn't help but shudder.
After a while, Buffalo felt that this was bad.
After all, he is a cadre of Don Quixote, how can he be so useless.
"Hey, I, Buffalo, am a cadre of Don Quixote!"
"Isn't it Bacardi Mod?"
"I'm not afraid at all, yes, not afraid!"
Buffalo used self-hypnosis to overcome the fear induced by Maud.
Not far away, someone noticed Buffalo lowering his head and thinking quietly.
"That guy who looks like a round ball, could he be mentally ill?"
"He's a weirdo, it's better for us to stay away..."
Several people looked at Baffaro with a look of pity, and then deliberately took a detour to avoid Baffaro.
... ... ... ... ... ..
"Thomas Shipyard is at the north end of Cross Street, and our location is the center point of Cross Street."
Betty, a boy with missing teeth, took Maud and others to the cross street of Dick City.
Along the way, he fully fulfilled his duties as a guide and explained the situation and layout of Dick City to Mod and others in detail.
According to him, Dick City is run through by four straight streets.
These four streets are collectively called Cross Streets and are divided into East, South, West and North Streets.
For example, the Thomas Shipyard that Maud is looking for is located at the end of North Cross Street, which is also the end of "inside the mouth of the whale". It is backed by a rock wall and can also be said to be a dead end.
Choosing the address of the shipyard in that kind of place was something that Maud couldn't figure out at first.
Betty quickly solved Maud's confusion.
In the Thomas Shipyard, which is backed by a rock wall, there is a sea current tunnel that leads directly to the outside of Leviathan Island.
All built ships will eventually leave Leviathan Island directly through this current tunnel.
"Look, the big pillar in front leading to the head of the 'Big Whale' is the 'human-powered elevator' used exclusively by the royal family and nobles. It is also one of the restricted areas that I specially noted in the tourist guide."
"The army directly under the king will be stationed there 24 hours a day. Please do not approach rashly."
"Otherwise, those soldiers will kill you without asking why!"
"As for the Colosseum near the 'Human Escalator', if you are interested, I can take you inside for a tour now. There are many entertainment projects there."
"And I heard that the Colosseum seems to be holding some grand event recently, and I heard that the prizes will be rich."
Betty pointed to a stone pillar leading to the top.
On the rock wall of the stone pillar, there are four elevator boxes suspended by chains, driven by human power and moving up and down.
The highest point that the stone pillar leads to is the capital of the Kingdom of Ahab on the "head of the whale" on Leviathan Island.
The pursuit of the "extremely high" seems to be a common problem among every king in this world.
Whether it is a throne or a residence, they will only be placed on high ground.
The most symbolic of them all is the Holy Land Marie Joa on the Red Continent.
However, most countries use stairs to create "highlands" to symbolize class gaps and distinctions.
However, the Kingdom of Ahab did not build a stepped highland in the heart of the island. Instead, it placed its capital directly on the "whale's head" of Leviathan Island, which is considered a leader.
Not far from the stone pillars of the human ladder is what Betty said is the Colosseum.
It was similar to what Mod had imagined. The Colosseum building was in a perfect circle. Compared with the Roman Colosseum, there was not much difference.
The only thing worthy of praise is that it is about twice the size of an ordinary arena.
"A grand event in the Colosseum? Could it be some kind of martial arts competition?"
Maud looked at Betty.
This little guy, who is only ten years old, sounds like an adult in terms of his tone of voice.
For this reason, Mod was very satisfied with his performance.
"I'm sorry, I don't know very well, but the most frequently held activities in the Colosseum are mainly 'beast fighting'."
Betty looked at Maud carefully, and then glanced at Bailey who was standing on Maud's shoulder.
Sensing Betty's gaze, Bailey bared his teeth and pretended to be fierce, glaring at Betty fiercely.
"Yeah, sorry!!!"
Betty was frightened by that look.
The legs that had finally stabilized along the way began to swing again at this moment.
Snapped.
Maud slapped Bailey the showman.
After being slapped by Maud, Bailey curled his lips and immediately put away his fierce expression.
After letting Balian settle down, Maud looked at Betty and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go to Thomas Shipyard first."
He had no interest in this so-called fighting beast and just wanted to get a new ship as soon as possible.
"Okay, okay."
Betty took a deep breath and tried to calm her heartbeat.
These big brothers and sisters in front of him are rare and high-quality guests for him, so he can't neglect them easily!
Betty showed a sweet smile to Maud and the others, and then continued to lead the way.
