Chapter 50: A Sense of Fulfillment
Realizing Bailey's potential value, Maud decides to keep Bailey behind.
At the same time, Maud is intrigued by the Nova Pirate that Thor is talking about.
After the five flavors, he asked Thor more about the Nova Pirate.
Thor seemed to be in the mood because he remembered the past, and the wine was one glass after another, and the words were one sentence after another.
Maud and Sunny were like qualified listeners, listening silently to Saul's past.
It wasn't until Thor got drunk that the memories came to an end.
When Saul goes back to his room to rest, Maud helps Sunny clean up the mess before going back to their rooms.
As for Bailey, because his worth has skyrocketed, he doesn't have to go to the toilet to purify the air, but there is no shortage of chains in the bundle.
Maud returned to her room, unloaded her load, and sat down on the bed.
As soon as the thought moved, the hunter's note revealed.
The eye swept over the small number of tiny stars on the cover, except for the one representing Sam the Fish-Man, with a small sharp corner.
Flipping through the notes, Maude took a pencil and wrote and drew on the blank pages.
Every stroke is a memory related to the original book.
It's a daily lesson he insists on doing every day.
The purpose is to further consolidate the memory, so that those blurring images slowly become visible.
It's boring, but it's important.
After the daily review, Maude removed the hunter's notes and took out the [Copy of the Notes] and looked at it.
After reading it twice, Maude put away the book and lay down.
γHunter's Notesγ
After lying down, Maude summoned the Hunter's Note again.
He looked at the second empty silver thread on the cover, lost in thought.
The battle with Abbe made him even more inclined to the choice of swordsmanship.
Compared to fists, in terms of length and hardness alone, it is indeed a long knife that has an advantage.
Also, a longer attack range means less risk.
This is more in line with Maude's choice direction.
Pulling out the quill on the spine, Maud didn't put it down directly.
There was no need to hesitate, but the new star pirate that Thor mentioned tonight had made Maude have a lot of ideas out of thin air.
According to Saul, the Nova Pirate is not only proficient in physical arts, but also has swords, guns, and even relatively unpopular weapons.
Under this premise, the pirate even ate an animal-based fruit that can increase the overall quality of the body, and then matched it with the weapon fruit of the hunting cat, thus forming a special and powerful combat power.
It's just that, under Thor's narration, the Nova Pirate was indeed extremely dazzling at the beginning, but it quickly dimmed later.
"Everyone understands the truth that greed can't chew too much, so even if he is talented, he can only stop there in the end."
These are Saul's exact words, full of irony.
At the end, Maude was even given a warning look.
In this regard, Maud still agrees with this [lesson from the past].
He is also very clear about the truth that he can't chew too much.
Of course, that's based on the premise that there is no [Hunter's Notes].
With such an ability, Maud can save more time and energy than others, and will not fall into the fate of the Nova Pirate.
In this way, on the premise that Bailey eats the [Weapon Fruit], if you write down the needs such as [Weapon Mastery......
At that time,
If you want to use a gun, then change to a gun.
If you want to use a knife, then change it.
If you want to use an axe, then change it.
The ever-changing combat style is sure to give the enemy a headache.
That's why Maude hesitated to put pen to paper.
Originally, he had already vetoed the choice of [Weapon Mastery], but the appearance of Bailey, as well as the past mentioned by Thor, made this choice come back to life.
Suppose you can get through the difficult early and middle stages with the help of the hunter's notes.
Then, the various pictures that exist in the future are enough to make Maude's blood boil.
Thinking of this, Maude couldn't help but get excited.
But he wasn't carried away by the future he imagined.
If you can't even get through the early stage, how can you get the later future?
Besides, let's not talk about letting Bailey return to his heart, even if it is the fruit of the weapon, it will not be able to get it in a short time.
If you insist on getting it, you have to be mentally prepared to oppose Doflamingo.
But the most important thing is the unavoidable difficulty of [income diversion].
Maud gradually calmed down.
The future is beautiful, but there are many obstacles, and if you can't overcome it, all your ideas will only become utopian.
"We can't let the 'income' be diverted anymore, and we have to take into account the 'domineering' or 'fruit' in the future."
Maude thought about it for a long time, but he was not swayed by the deeds of the new star pirate, and wrote down the need for [sword mastery].
Despite the decision, Maud still has considerable expectations for Bailey's future.
It would be best if Bailey could eat the fruit of the weapon.
Even if you can't, you can choose a Devil Fruit with a support nature.
Maud withdrew her notes and slowly closed her eyes.
In my mind, it was full of the whimsical idea of how to discover Bailey's [tool attributes].
........
The following days.
Despite filling out the second request, Maud stayed in the store.
He assumes that Abbe and Gattit will come to the door looking for trouble.
So in order to lift out Saul's thigh, in the past few days, he has kept Thor who has to go to Flower Street for morning exercises every morning with an attitude of eagerness to learn guns.
However, a few days passed, and there was not even a shadow to be seen.
It was so calm that Maude was deeply surprised.
Isn't this scientific?
Maud was puzzled, and by the way, he pocketed the experience points of neighbors 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
After harvesting the leeks that grew near her home, Maud also went to ask Sunny if she had any new leeks to cut.
Unfortunately, perhaps the frequency of harvesting leeks is too high, causing panic among people in the vicinity.
As a result, not only did no new leeks move in, but even some of Maude's unsightly leeks moved away.
Bailey, a new member of the family, listened to Maud and Sonny's understatement conversation.
Since then, Bailey has been afraid to look at Maude many times.
Although he knew that the humans who could live in this town were not good birds, he couldn't help but be afraid of Maude as long as he remembered that Maude had shot down the birds with a gun and a blank face.
By the fifth day, Maud had not kept Thor any longer.
After Thor went out, Maud finally stopped the urge to touch the knife and pulled out a long knife from the shelf.
Sonny, who was reading the newspaper, noticed Maude's actions and looked up and asked, "What are you doing?" β
"Try the feel."
Maud gripped the scabbard and smiled at Sunny Ny.
Sunny frowned, "If you let Thor know, you might have skinned you." β
"If you don't say it, I don't say it, how can Thor know?"
Maud gripped the hilt of the knife, and felt only a faint sense of familiarity lingering in her heart.
It is different from the sense of security when holding a gun, but it is a sense of fulfillment that is indescribable.
Under this inexplicable feeling, just holding the hilt of the knife, Maude gave birth to an urge to take out the knife.
It's a pity that there are no enemies in front of him, and there are no stakes in the store for practice.
Thinking of this, Maude subconsciously glanced at Bailey.
Bailey, whose upper body was tightly bound by chains, suddenly trembled in his heart, and immediately squirmed, crawled into the counter, and hid behind Sonny.
Seeing this, Maud walked to the counter and said with concern: "Bailey, what's wrong with you?" Where is it uncomfortable? β
"No, no."
"Oh, that's good."
Maud turned to look at Sunny and asked, "How much is this knife?" β
It occurred to him that he didn't have to go outside to buy knives, there were a lot of ready-made ones here.
"2.6 million."
ββ¦β¦β
Maud silently put the knife back in his hand, and in consideration of not increasing the intensity of Sonny's work, he did not pick up the second knife, but pointed at it.
"And what about this one?"
"1.7 million."
"Where's this?"
"2.2 million."
"What's the cheapest?"
"900,000."
ββ¦β¦β
Maud touched Bailey, who was less than 500,000 in his pocket, and sighed deeply.
Sure enough, let's go to the weapons shop in town and look for it.
As for the second-hand goods on the third shelf of the store, he couldn't look at them.
