Chapter 2: Kidd

If it was before the soul pierced, Maud could easily resist bullets.

But now......

The muzzle of the black hole is like a death scythe hanging high above the head, and once it falls, it will surely die.

"I have no ill will."

Facing the muzzle of the gun, without any room for thought, Maud quickly took a stand.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at him as soon as it poked through the door, indicating that the man with the gun had noticed his small movements before he even pushed the door open.

In this case, Maud has no choice but to show that she is harmless.

After all, it was because the current condition of this body could not support any of his coping thoughts.

There was silence outside the door, and the muzzle of the gun was silent.

After a few breaths, a slightly hoarse female voice sounded outside the door: "Stand in front of me." ”

"Okay."

Maud didn't hesitate to move to the front of the door, and the muzzle of the gun followed.

Walking to the front of the door, Maude saw a man with a gun standing outside the door.

It's a thin girl in a coarse cloth dress.

The girl had short, sleek hair, and three scars on her face that fell diagonally from the corner of her left eyebrow to the corner of her right mouth like claw marks.

If it weren't for the hoarse female voice just now, I would probably think the other party would be a man at first sight.

"I have no ill will."

Maud asserted her position again, then slowly raised her hands to signal that she was unarmed.

At the same time, he glanced at the sack that the girl was carrying on her left hand, and his eyelids twitched slightly.

Compared with the unmoving and sophisticated movement of raising the gun, the presence of the sack made Maud even more uneasy.

Sunny stared at Maude's eyes and said lightly, "To be honest, if we want to be unfavorable to you, do you think you still have a chance to speak here?" ”

After a little warning, Sunny neatly put away her flintlock pistol.

She also knew that Maude's small actions just now were more out of self-preservation.

Otherwise, she would have pulled the trigger long ago without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing that the situation was not so bad, Maud breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that you're awake, you don't need this."

Without waiting for Maude's reaction, Sunny threw away the sack.

Counting the time of the return trip, the guy was in a coma for seven days.

According to Saul, since he can't wake up, he will recycle the waste so that he can recover some of the medical costs spent on Maude.

Unexpectedly, this guy woke up at the last minute.

Maud glanced at the sack, her lips moved, and said, "If I don't wake up, this sack ...... Is it for me?

"Yes, if you don't wake up, I'll stuff you in a sack and sell it on the black market, and then you'll be dismantled into a dozen parts by the 'funeral director' and turned into a commodity that you can buy as long as you have money."

Sunny smiled coldly.

Maud was silent.

Dismantling, parts, and sales.

The wording is quite subtle, and you can probably hear what kind of black industry it is.

There are also previous gunshots, indicating that most of this place has nothing to do with stability.

He could see that Sunny wasn't joking, but as Sunny said, if it was to his detriment, then he wouldn't have a chance to wake up.

In other words, while the future is uncertain, it's at least safe for now.

As long as the situation is not bad, then he has the opportunity to use the hunter's notes to develop.

"What shall I call you?"

Maud asked the girl's name instead.

Sunny slowly narrowed her eyes, pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "You're quite calm, just call me Sunny Nie, as for your name, I should know." ”

Maud was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, but saw Sunny take out a bronze pocket watch from her pocket.

Seeing the pocket watch, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, Maude raised an eyebrow.

That's his stuff.

No, to be precise, something from the predecessor.

It's just that when the predecessor was transferred to the slave catcher, the pocket watch should have been taken away by a man.

Now, the pocket watch is in Sunny Son's hand.

In other words, the people who attacked the slave fishing ship were Sunny and them?

Maud thought silently.

If memory serves, there are two photographs embedded in the pocket watch, one of which is a full-length photograph taken at the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.

There's also a hand-signed autograph of the predecessor in the lower right corner of the photo, so it's no wonder that Sunny said that.

Another photo is a family photo of a family of three...... Well?

Is it a family of three or a family of four?

His head tingled again.

Maud frowned.

Sunny was looking down at her pocket watch, not seeing Maude's expression.

"This pocket watch is yours, but it's my 'trophy' now, but, given that we may become colleagues in the future, it's hard to get back to its rightful owner."

With that, Sunny tossed the watch to Maud.

Maude took the pocket watch and opened the lid with a tingling sensation, revealing the discontinued dial inside, as well as two photographs embedded in the cover.

His eyes swept over his full-body photo, and then stopped on the family photo of a family of four smiling brightly.

Four?

Isn't it just the parents of the predecessor and the predecessor?

Suddenly, some of the memories showed signs of recovery, and the tingling in my head was even worse.

Maud quickly closed the lid and remained silent.

He was grateful for the new life it had given him, but he didn't want to be affected by the memories that remained.

Sunny noticed Maud's strangeness, but had no interest in delving into it, and reminded, "As a passer-by, I suggest that you destroy the signed photo and give yourself an alias." ”

Maud looked up at Sunny without asking why, and said, "Thank you, I'll think about it." ”

Sunny nodded, then glanced at the blood-stained bandage on Maude's forehead, and went straight to the point.

"Let's go, follow me to Thor."

Maud naturally had no qualifications to refuse, and after putting away the pocket watch, he followed Sunny honestly.

The two of them came to the corridor one after the other and followed the stairs to the first floor.

As soon as I reached the first floor, there was a loud noise in front of the corridor, like the sound of a wooden door being violently kicked open and then smashed against the wall.

Sunny stopped, and Maud stopped and looked ahead of the hallway.

As the sound of slamming the door disappeared, an old man's voice like a duck's voice immediately sounded.

"Kidd, you bastard kicked my shop door again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu pumped your hamstrings?"

"It's noisy, I brought the money, take out Keanu's gun."

The recognizable is very obvious, and the unruly male voice said a sentence.

"Fuck off, Lao Tzu will not sell you even if he dismantles the gun and throws it in the landfill."

"Oh, then you can lose it, I can find it anyway."

"Get out!"

Conversations came from the front of the hallway, and at the end of it seemed to be a small storefront.

Listening to the conversation coming from the front hall, Sunny sighed helplessly.

The conversation continued, and the smell of gunpowder intensified.

"Keep up."

Sunny quickened her pace.

Maud followed in silence.

The corridor was not long, and the two of them quickly came to the front hall shop.

Without time to observe the furnishings and categories of the shop, Maude's attention was immediately drawn to the old man and the young man who seemed to be in conflict in the next second.

As the information revealed by the voice is generally the same, it is one old and one young.

Maud guessed that the old man might be the Thor Sunny was talking about, and that the other perverse boy was supposed to be a guest.

"Huh?"

Maud looked at the boy's conspicuous red hedgehog head, then swept over the goggles that the boy wore on his forehead, and finally stopped at the slightly familiar face.

The images associated with it in my memory suddenly came flooding in.

"Kidd?"

Maude's heart skipped a beat, and she recognized the origin of the red-haired hedgehog-headed boy.

He hadn't thought of it when he heard the name before, but now that he saw the real person, he was finally sure that this was the world of One Piece.

It's just that, compared to the picture in the depths of his memory, the Kidd in front of him is obviously younger and immature.

Maud subconsciously made Kidd one of the prey.

Because, the ability characteristics of the Hunter's Note are destined to be used against the characters in the original book who have revealed intelligence.
