Looking at the hot beef noodles on the table, Salton felt hungry.
He put the sharp knife he had just obtained on the table, took out the bowl and started eating.
Maude's eyes were attracted by the long knife.
"Saul, is this the sharp knife that is one of the fifty items for the property being auctioned tonight?"
"Suck yo yo..."
"Yes, it's called Chidori."
Chapter 36 Chidori
"Chidori..."
Maude looked at the long knife on the table.
A row of diamond-shaped patterns is engraved on the handle of the knife. The color of the scabbard is completely blue, slender and rich in texture. There are white "?" patterns arranged randomly on the scabbard.
The interweaving of blue and white gives people a sense of depth at first glance.
After looking at it for a while, Maud suddenly became curious about the blade in the scabbard.
In contrast, Sunny had no interest in the knife at all and concentrated on scanning the bottom of the bowl, not even missing a fine chopped green onion.
Thor took a big mouthful of hot noodles and looked sideways at Maud: "What, want to try it out?"
Mod nodded subconsciously and said: "Well, this knife looks very high-quality, I don't know how it feels when I hold it."
"Haha, don't you know if you try it?"
Thor freed his hand, picked up the Chidori and handed it over.
Maude was delighted when she saw this, and reached out her hand to pick up the Chidori.
At this moment, Thor instantly suppressed his smile, used the Chidori as a stick with his backhand, and knocked Mod on the head.
"You have to be single-minded in everything you do. You have become interested in knives before you even learn how to use a gun?"
“…”
Maud rubbed her forehead and looked speechlessly at Thor, who was smiling one second and expressionless the next.
Just look at the knife, right
Knowing that Thor was very sensitive in this regard, there was no way Maud would talk back.
He was still thinking about whether to write down a second request tonight, and it happened that Sol bought the Chidori from the auction.
Therefore, he really wanted to experience the charm of the famous swords in the One Piece world.
Never thought that Saul would not even let him touch the knife.
He obviously hates things related to swords, but he is also so keen on collecting famous swords.
I don’t know what’s in this old guy’s head.
Maud glanced at Chidori, who was placed on the table again by Thor, feeling quite regretful.
But soon, he thought that this famous knife would be put on the shelf, and Sol basically would go to Huajie every morning for morning exercises...
Maude calmly withdrew his gaze and made a small calculation in his mind.
At this time, he didn't notice Sol's meaningful eyes, which seemed to say: Little boy, just give up.
The next day.
In the early morning, the mist filled the air.
The air is full of salty moisture.
Maude woke up from her sleep, put on the weights, and rushed to the store immediately.
"How come there isn't?!"
Looking at the shelves that were unchanged from yesterday, Maud, whose expectations were not met, suddenly looked disappointed.
Hearing Maud's voice, Sunny came from the corridor and looked at Maud doubtfully.
"What are you doing?"
"nothing."
Maud said perfunctorily.
He didn't want to say it, but Sunny looked at the shelves and thought of Maud's performance last night, and she immediately guessed Maud's thoughts.
"Don't think about it. How can the knives that Saul wants to collect be put on the shelves for sale? He doesn't need these famous knives to show off."
"That's it."
Maud was even more disappointed.
He was still lucky enough to think that Sol might be planning to touch it for a few days before putting the knife on the shelf, but Sunny shattered his luck with just one word.
"Saul has put the knives he bought at a high price in his own room, but I advise you not to mess around. Even if an ant enters the room, Saul will know it."
Sunny looked at the disappointment on Maud's face and walked towards the kitchen.
"Today's breakfast will be cooked a little later. Please clean up the store first and then come over."
"good."
Maud responded feebly, and then looked at the shelves again.
Although there were many long knives on it, they didn't have the same dazzling feeling as Chidori.
There is a world of difference between the two.
After all, there are no empty knights under the great reputation.
Chidori is one of the 50 best swords in the industry. Not to mention the aura of the sword itself, the quality alone is not comparable to the knives on the shelf.
But in fact, the knives on the shelf are not bad. Although they are far inferior to the Chidori, they are not completely different.
The reason why Maud feels this way is mostly due to the influence of fame.
He had no choice but to be deeply influenced by the original work, and naturally believed that only the nearly one hundred knives from the Karma system were truly good knives.
But the world is so vast, how can it be possible that there are only nearly a hundred good knives.
Even a long sword of average quality can only be used by a swordsman who is good at armed domineering.
[Cultivation of domineering energy] over a long period of time can create a sharp knife invisibly.
Although he could no longer touch the Chidori, Maude had the idea of getting a knife.
However, he had to get it secretly and hide it in the room.
If you have nothing to do, you can take it out and familiarize yourself with the feel.
With this idea in mind, Maud was not in a hurry.
On the contrary, the excerpt of the [Notes] is more important. After all, the [Notes] have to be returned to Sunny after dinner.
No longer thinking about Chidori, Maude cleaned the store as quickly as possible, and then asked Sunny for a new notebook.
It took him more than two hours to copy down all the information.
I had an impression of the information in the [Notes] originally, but after copying it down this time, I remember some parts more clearly.
Mod estimated that even if there was no need to use the bounty photo to match, as long as he saw the person, he should be able to identify the other person's identity immediately.
For most of the day, the weapon shop's business was as bleak as ever.
There was not a single customer during this period.
It wasn't until meal time that Sol, smelling of alcohol, came back slowly with a bottle of wine.
As soon as he entered the weapons store, Thor immediately glanced at the weight on Maud's leg.
"No lunch."
Then, without saying a word, he went directly upstairs to his room.
I think I had a great meal outside.
Watching Sol go upstairs, Maud returned to the shop and couldn't help but glance at the ajar door.
He thought that if Sol fell asleep, he wouldn't wake up for a few hours.
Then, instead of being urged to practice by Thor in the afternoon, you might go to the streets to look for prey.
As soon as he thought of it, Maude didn't plan to eat and went back to the room.
First, he took off the weights and placed the two flintlock pistols close to his body. As for [Usopp], he left it alone because the signs of aging on the gun were too conspicuous.
"About 500,000 Baileys..."
Maude counted the remaining personal money and then put it safely in her pocket.
The money was collected from his prey after hunting.
After getting ready, Maude quickly went downstairs and came to the shop.
"Sunny, I'm going out for a moment."
Maude quickly said a word, and then without giving Sunny a chance to reply, she opened the door and closed it in one go, and disappeared in an instant.
Inside the counter, Sunny stared blankly at the store door, gritting her teeth after a while.
"Mo-de!"
But soon, she noticed the speed with which Maud slipped away just now.
"It's impossible, it's only been a few days..."
Sunny thought blankly.
Even if the talent is astonishing, it is impossible to see such obvious improvement after just two days of carrying weights, right
Sunny was puzzled.
... ...
Walking in the alley, Maud suddenly remembered that there were several [neighbors] around whom she had not visited.
But thinking that I could visit him at any time and that I was pressed for time, I left this idea for next time.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I have come out during the day."
Maud couldn't help but sigh, and then thought about where to go.
The first choice is definitely the pub.
Although there is a mixture of fish and dragons there, the chance of finding suitable prey is relatively high.
However, Mod also really wanted to visit Wangjiao Street during the day. There were also other weapon shops, as well as where Thor often did his morning exercises... ahem.
The more he thought about it, the more interested Maude became and she couldn't help but speed up her pace.
He was in high spirits, but he didn't notice the gaze from behind.
Chapter 37 Epitome
As a part of Mad Hatter Island, the residential area covers less than half of the other blocks.
In terms of popularity, the difference is huge.
Because the residential area is prepared for pirates and people from the underground world who are willing to stay.
But the people who live here are mostly old pirates like Thor who have returned from the sea, or pirates who were injured in the battle and became disabled, but have a pension fund.
These people have lost the capital to look forward to the future, and some are just trying to survive.
Under such influence, the overall atmosphere of residential areas tends to be lifeless.
Walking in every lane, there is always a smell like "dead rat" that surrounds you.
Dead bodies on the road are also commonplace.
After all, not every pirate who has been eliminated by the times can be like Thor...
Have the capital to trample money.
Being able to open a store in such a location is destined to result in bankruptcy.
And you can go to the Huajie Tavern every day for fun and consumption.
