Maud returns to the room where she woke.
Maude was quite surprised to be accepted so easily.
However, Maude also saw that Thor, who was in charge of the situation, was very casual in this regard.
Perhaps the reason why he was brought back was simply to treat him as a future coolie in the store.
"They come, the security."
Maude muttered to herself, locked the door, then sat down on the dusty chair, and then looked at the contents on the draft paper.
[No matter day or night, you cannot go out and stay in the house.]
[Don’t touch the items on the shelves.]
[Entry to the basement is prohibited.]
[There are ingredients in the kitchen refrigerator.]
[We’ll talk about other things tomorrow.]
Maud read the contents on the papyrus with mixed emotions.
Can't we just talk about these few things verbally
Maude shook her head slightly, unable to understand Sunny's behavior. She threw the straw paper on the dusty table, and then picked up the pencil she brought with her.
[Hunter's Notes]
With a thought, a black notebook appeared out of thin air.
Randomly turning to a blank page, Mod closed his eyes and tried to recall the memory of One Piece.
In order to consolidate and organize these memories, he planned to write them out slowly, then sort them out, and then write them several more times.
Although the quill pen that comes with the Hunter's Note is inkless, it is the only one that can leave fundamental handwriting in the Hunter's Note.
As for other pens.
Such as the pencil in Maud's hand.
He could scribble with a pencil on any page in the hunter's notebook.
But as long as the hunter's notebook is removed later, the words and graffiti left on the page will turn into graphite ash and fall to the ground.
From this, Maud can use this to consolidate his memory.
You know, the information transformed by these memories may become his nourishment in the future.
"The one who impressed me the most is the Straw Hat Pirates..."
"After all, it is the protagonist group, so more information is disclosed."
"But the period when they were really powerful was two years after the plot began."
"Too far away..."
"Judging from Kidd's current age, there are still a few years left before the plot begins, right?"
"Besides, more suitable targets abound, so there's no need to target them."
"By the way, the Dragon Pirates, I wonder if the Hunter's Notes can be effective on the fishmen and the giants!"
"It's unimaginable if it's possible."
"Speaking of which, the Dragon Pirates are in the East China Sea, and this is the West Sea. Can they get to the East China Sea by sailing alone?"
"I remember Kidd seems to be from the South China Sea. Since he can come to the West China Sea, it should be no problem to go from the West China Sea to the East China Sea."
"Thinking about it now, it doesn't seem to make any sense."
Maud was writing and drawing on the pages as she sorted through her memories.
Although he knows nothing about navigation, it does not prevent him from thinking divergently.
Just immersed in it, time passed by minute by second.
... ... ...
Saul's room.
Several lit candles are placed on the window sill, beside the bed, on the table, etc., providing sufficient light source for a room of dozens of square meters.
There was obviously a more convenient electric light, but Sol abandoned it.
This had always been one of the things Sunny couldn't understand.
"You came to me specifically just to tell me that Maud is abnormal?"
Sol sat cross-legged on a large double bed, holding the slender gold-plated pipe in his right hand.
The smoke was lingering and slightly pungent.
His gaze passed through the smoke and fell on Sunny in front of him with some scrutiny.
"But you also know that I never care about this."
"Thor, Maud is... different from the previous ones."
"What's the difference?"
“…”
Sunny couldn't explain it for a moment.
Thor gently rubbed the cigarette stem.
"You're right, he is indeed very different."
Chapter 7 Shelves
The next morning.
Maude opened her eyes, her face full of fatigue.
I was sorting out information last night, and it was early in the morning without me noticing.
I fell asleep exhausted, only to wake up within two hours.
Fortunately, I completed a hunt yesterday, otherwise my body would not be able to withstand the torture.
Once she woke up, Maud couldn't go back to sleep.
He opened the thin quilt and got out of bed.
He didn't know what kind of work Sol would arrange for him.
Anyway, in order to settle down as soon as possible, he has assumed the identity of a coolie on his own.
After rubbing her cheek, Maude opened the door and walked out.
You can hear a pin drop in the corridor, making the slight creaking sound of stepping on the wooden floor extremely noticeable.
There is a boarded-up window on the wall in the dead corner at the end of the corridor. The early morning sunlight passes through the gap in the window, forming a speckled beam of light falling to the ground.
Maud glanced at the other closed doors, didn't stay too long, and walked towards the corridor.
He followed the stairs to the first floor.
The corridor on the right leads directly to the store, and on the left leads directly to the living room and kitchen.
Maybe it was still early and the store door was not open.
However, Sunny was already awake and sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
Maud went to wash up briefly first, and then came to the dining room connected to the kitchen.
He was starving.
I could tolerate it for a while yesterday, but not today. I don't know if it's a reaction caused by my body recovering well.
Sunny looked up at Maud who looked hungry, pushed a glass of milk in front of the seat, and motioned Maud to sit down and eat.
Maud pulled out a chair and sat down without being polite.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed a set of bowls and plates with some residue on them in front of another empty seat, presumably left behind by Thor after eating.
Maude raised her wooden cup and took a sip of milk. She frowned slightly and felt that her mouth was filled with the unique smell of raw milk.
Enduring the discomfort, I drank up the raw milk, then picked up a piece of meat and took a few bites, feeling as if I had come back to life again.
I have to say, this store looks shabby, but the food is really good.
But what made Mod most comfortable was the casualness shown by Thor and Sunny, which was quite different from the expected pirates.
And, in a sense, Thor is his savior.
After swallowing several pieces of meat steak, Maude slowed down.
He glanced at Sunny, who had almost eaten, and thought about the precautions written on the piece of paper yesterday about not going out during the day and night, and his thoughts moved.
"Sunny, Mad Hatter Town... what kind of place is it exactly?"
"Wouldn't you know if you go out and take a look?"
"???"
Maud had a question mark.
The contents of the paper I was given yesterday are still fresh in my mind.
Seeing Sunny's expressionless expression, Maude wondered if this guy was taking revenge for his perfunctory treatment yesterday.
Wow—
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the sound of Sunny pushing the chair away.
"After you finish eating, clean these up and then clean up the store. I'll give you half an hour."
Putting these words aside, Sunny went to the second floor without looking back.
Maud shook her head, swept away the rest of her breakfast, and began to clean up.
If he was only responsible for cleaning, then his job as a coolie would be too easy.
After clearing the table, Maude came to the store carrying cleaning tools.
Maude paid special attention when cleaning the shelves.
After all, one of the precautions given by Sunny was not to touch the weapons on sale.
You can't touch it, but you can still look at it.
There are three shelves in the store. The first shelf displays various styles of swords, the second shelf displays flintlock guns of different lengths, and the third shelf displays a mix of swords and firearms.
If I remember correctly, Watt's blood-stained long knife was wiped clean by Saul yesterday and placed on the third shelf.
Looking at the third shelf, which had an obvious overwhelming advantage in terms of quantity, Mod recalled Thor's familiar actions yesterday and couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "..."
A shelf dedicated to second-hand goods
There is no need to say much about the source of the goods.
However, strictly speaking, as long as there is no substantial damage to cold weapons like swords, it doesn't matter whether they are second-hand or not.
He moved his eyes away from the third shelf and turned to the shelf with more than a dozen guns.
The quantity is not large, but the shelves appear empty.
Maud looked at the guns.
Whether on Earth or in the Hunter World, guns have always had a stronger presence than cold weapons.
Compared to cold weapons such as swords, Mod understands guns better.
When he was in the Hunter World, even though his cultivation had reached the point where he no longer needed to rely on guns, he still carried a pistol with him.
In terms of marksmanship, I can't say that I'm very good at it, but I can guarantee basic shooting accuracy.
However, he also knows that in the world of One Piece, swords and other cold weapons have a much stronger presence than firearms.
Among those ruthless people who have practiced to a certain level, most use cold weapons instead of firearms.
But that doesn’t mean that the upper limit of firearms is not enough, it’s just that there are only a handful of people who can take full advantage of the [range advantage] of firearms and have appeared in the original work.
"Is Keanu's gun in here too?"
Maude suddenly thought of Kidd who came to the store yesterday.
