After landing on the north coast this morning, Maud told Lafayette and them to leave.

From here to Monmont Island, according to Lafayette's estimates, a round trip will take twenty days.

That is, Maud would stay in the village of West Rob for at least twenty days before Lafayette returned.

What can I do during this time?

In addition to harvesting Captain Chloe's experience, that is, trying to teach Usopp something.

In this way, even if Usopp will still go to sea in the future, he will be able to suffer less crimes.

Although this kind of thing is not enough to repay Jesus Bu for giving him a gun and saving his life, it can be regarded as a favor for Jesus.

If he could, Maud wanted to do more for Usopp, and it was his usual rule to repay kindness.

However, judging from Usopp's current situation, it is obviously impossible to learn to see and hear in about twenty days.

But Usopp has the qualifications for this, and as long as a seed called seeing and hearing is planted, it will be a matter of time before he awakens.

Maud sat on a tree stump, and in front of him was a fire made of dead wood, on which was a fat, oozing rabbit.

Usopp sat cross-legged on the ground beside him, looking excited.

Not because of the excitement of roasting the rabbit, but because Maud wants to teach him the magic trick called Seeing and Smelling.

"Maude, do I really have the talent for this?"

"Of course, you are the son of Jesus, be confident."

"Uh, I see."

Usopp smiled and turned to ask more about the Jesus Cloth.

Maud answered Usopp's question as she turned the rabbit strung on a stick.

To be honest, Maude felt that Jesus was really unreliable as a father, and it was thanks to his wife and son that not only did not hate him, but they could still be proud of him.

It can only be said that everyone's mind is different and will make different choices and reactions in the same situation.

In such a question and answer, the rabbit is slowly roasted over a firewood fire.

"Eat."

Maud handed the whole roast rabbit to Usopp.

He had eaten it on the ship before he landed, and the rabbit was roasted for Usopp.

"Then you're welcome!"

Usopp took the roast rabbit, and was not afraid of getting hot, so he tore off a rabbit leg and gnawed it.

"Hmm, it's delicious."

Usopp was full of praise as he ate.

Maude smiled, not taking it seriously.

The roast rabbit has no seasoning, and the heat is not in place, so how delicious can it be?

Maud didn't watch Usopp eat, but thought about how to help Usopp become stronger during this time.

Before he could do that, though, he had to deal with Captain Chloe.

In a short time, a whole roast rabbit was eaten by Usopp.

Putting down the skeleton, Usopp looked at Maude, who was contemplating.

Maude heard the sound and didn't think about the training plan for a while, but looked at the clean skeleton that was placed on the ground, and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

"Well, I'm full."

Usopp nodded heavily.

It had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of being cared for.

"That's good, if you're training, let's start tomorrow morning."

"Ah, do you have to wait until tomorrow?"

Usopp was a little impatient.

Maud nodded, he was going to dispose of Captain Chloe by tonight.

Coincidentally, Usopp also suddenly thought of the bounty order that was very similar to Krabatel just now.

"Maude, the person on that bounty just now is very similar to a man in the village named Krabatel."

"Not like, but the same person."

"What!?"

Usopp was shocked, originally he was just suspicious, but he didn't expect it to be the same person.

Maud looked at Usopp with a look of disbelief and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will deal with him within today." ”

...........

In the village of Sirob, near the outskirts, stands a mansion that does not fit in with the village.

In the hallway, a man with a kind face and a sheep's head on his head came to the door of a room.

"Knock knock."

The sheep-headed man raised his hand and knocked softly on the door.

A few seconds later, a Sven man with a greasy back and glasses opened the door.

He looked at the sheep-headed man and smiled, "It's Melly, I'm about to go to you, I'm going to the neighboring town later, right?" ”

"Krabatel." Mei Li also showed a smile and said gently: "There is no hurry to go to the neighboring town, but there is a young man outside who claims to be a black cat who wants to look for you, saying that he is your old friend." ”

"Oh?"

Chloe, who goes by the pseudonym Krabatel, frowned slightly, and habitually pushed the frame up with his palm.

Black cats?

That's the name of the pirates before he went incognito.

Looking at Chloe's reaction, Melly was a little surprised and asked, "Do you know the young man outside?" ”

"I know, I borrowed something from him before, he should have come to me for this, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry to cause you trouble, I'll return the things to him."

Chloe smiled apologetically at Merry, and quickly went back to the room to pull out a black tote bag.

The tote bag contained his exclusive weapon, the ten-bladed cat's claw.

As for the so-called young man with a black cat, he had never heard of it at all, but just by the name of the black cat, he knew that the other party was likely to be unkind.

In order to be able to bring the ten-bladed cat's claw without Meli doubting it, he found a reasonable and non-abrupt reason in an instant with little to no thought.

This also shows Chloe's quick wit.

When Melly saw the bag in Cloti's hand, she would have thought that it contained a murder weapon that could easily kill people, and she only thought that the young man outside had really come to Chloe to get something back.

"I'm going to send him away."

Chloe took the handbag, smiled apologetically at Merry again, and walked past Merry towards the gate of the house.

While facing away from Merry, Kronasven's kind face showed a cold killing intent, but it was retracted in an instant.

In order to avoid bumping into the old man, Chloe deliberately took the road in the back kitchen, and after coming to the courtyard, he made a small half circle before coming to the iron gate of the fence.

Outside the iron gate of the fence, there stood a black-haired boy with a height of nearly two meters, wearing a loose black coat with an obvious trace of sharpness in his angular eyebrows.

Chloe's gaze raced over the boy's waist.

Despite his overcoat, he was able to spot the presence of a flintlock pistol, not to mention a long knife with more prominent marks.

"You're looking for me?"

Through the iron gate of the fence, Chloe looked at the boy outside without moving.

This young man is naturally Maude.

"It's been a long time, Krabattel."

Maud looked at Chloe with a calm expression, the name was obtained from Usopp, otherwise, how could he call Chloe by name.

"Oh, no, I should call you Trickster Chloe, well, more accurately, Captain Chloe."

“……”

Hearing Maude's words, Chloe's forehead suddenly became streaked.

The plan exposes ......

Is it because of that bunch of waste?

Chloe thought of the members of the Black Cat Pirates for a moment.

Only they knew about the plan to seize the mansion and property incognito, and according to the original plan, they would not come to Xirob Village until two years later, and they could not reveal the slightest rumor during this period.

"I didn't use that name a year ago."

Realizing that the plan was exposed, several bloodshot streaks appeared in Chloe's eyes.

Maude smiled, "This kind of thing...... Does it matter? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chloe put on the cat's paw gloves in the cloth bag at a great speed.

The ten blades embedded in the finger cuffs slashed towards Maud outside the iron gate of the fence with cold killing intent.
