West Sea, base of the 158th branch of the Navy.

Inside the dojo, Gion sweats like rain.

By the time she finished the last set of training moves, she was already drenched in sweat, as if she had just come out of the water.

As a rare strong woman in the navy, daily high-intensity training like this is inevitable.

After training, Gion returned to his room, put the saber away, and immediately went to the bathroom to flush down.

After taking a shower, Gion sat down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Since accepting the request of the two elders, except for the need to return to the Great Passage on official business, she has basically stayed in the West Sea for the rest of the time, including holidays.

Life like this has been going on for more than two years.

But in her opinion, whether it is in the headquarters or in the branch, it will not affect her honing of her own strength.

If you really want to talk about the difference, that is, Colonel Robbie, who was recently transferred to the 158th branch, is constantly attentive, which simply annoys her.

"Bo Bo Lu ......"

The sound of the phone bug made Gion suddenly open his eyes.

She got up, walked on her long legs, walked to the table with the phone bug, and reached for the microphone.

After plugging in, the sound of a wolf rat came from the other side of the microphone.

"Hooked."

"Good."

Hearing the wolf's report, Gion's eyes lit up, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "This is the last temptation, do you have the confidence to grasp the 'timing point'?" ”

“……”

The wolf rat couldn't help but be silent.

Gion waited patiently for a reply.

"Yes."

A moment later, a wolfrat's determined tone came from the microphone.

"Then, it's up to you to judge the timing of your actions."

Gion directly gives the wolf and mouse the greatest trust.

Even through the phone bug, the wolf mouse can feel the heavy sense of trust that rushes to his face.

"Understood."

The wolf rat gave a clear reply.

The phone bug then hangs up.

Gion slowly put down the phone bug, pondered for a moment, and dialed Lieutenant General Tsuru's number instead.

This time, perhaps, is the closest to an opportunity so far.

.........

Mad Hatter.

The wolf rat hides the phone bug properly.

Thinking back to the bait just now, Maude's reaction was irrelevant.

If it weren't for Maud's later commission to investigate the gang's actions, the wolf rat would have thought that Maud was really just an outsider named Usopp.

It is also this act of entrustment that allows the wolf mouse to make sure that the fish is hooked.

"I'm sorry."

The wolf muttered to himself.

Through the information provided by Gion, the wolf rat learns Maude's identity and what happened to Maude.

It was this information that made the wolf rat understand the reason why Maud attacked and killed the town of pirates for no reason.

So in his opinion, Maude, who was used as a bargaining chip to deal with the trick gun, was essentially an innocent victim.

But Gion did not take a stand.

Therefore, it is impossible for wolves and rats to talk more.

He is a navy, and it is his job to obey orders to complete tasks.

But because of this, the resentment of being miserable by Maude before is long gone.

A moment later.

The wolf rat left the room and went to the first floor, to the bar, and sat down in his original seat.

"Tatam, hurry up and get another bottle of Baikalag rum."

The wolf rat drank most of the bottle just now, but he liked the taste of the wine.

"You haven't paid yet."

Tatam pointed to the empty wine glass.

"Isn't it just money?"

The wolf rat snorted and dug it into his pocket.

After a pause, he sneered, "I owe it first." ”

Tatam shook his head helplessly, and half-loudly, he looked at the empty bottle of Bakalag rum and thought for a moment.

The wolf rat noticed Tatam's move, and his eyes flashed.

After getting along day and night, he knew that under Tatamu's bear-like appearance, he had a very delicate mind.

The deliberate act just now may have made Tatam guess something.

But even so, he wouldn't reveal the slightest bit of information to Tatam.

..............

After Maud left the night bar, she didn't linger outside and went straight back to the weapons shop.

Under Sunny Ny's eyes, he began to train every day.

It may be okay to sneak out, but if you are lazy and don't train, you will definitely be hung up and beaten by Thor.

Bailey sat on the counter, hot tea in hand, and leisurely looked at Maude who was sweating.

He has been fed by the food in the store for two months, and his body has gained a lot of weight, and if he curls up, he will be no different from a ball of meat.

Sunny put down the teacup and said lightly, "Pour the tea." ”

"Okay, big sister!"

Hearing this, Bailey quickly put down the hot tea in his hand, and immediately lifted the teapot and poured tea for Sunny to fill it.

Under Sonny's threat, Bailey has long since stopped calling Sonny's mother, but changed his name to the eldest sister.

Sunny took a sip of the hot tea and continued to read the newspaper.

Bailey put down the teapot slowly, for fear of making a noise and causing the eldest sister to read the newspaper.

After putting the teapot away, he picked up the teacup again and looked leisurely at Maude in training.

It's not impossible to live like this.

Mainly...... The food was fantastic!

It wasn't until noon that Maud finished today's training, and Sunny had made lunch.

It's just that when the meal arrived, Thor didn't come back.

The two of them were commonplace, but they didn't have the intention of waiting for Thor.

After they finished their lunch, they continued to look at the store.

As for cleaning up the dishes, it's Bailey's job now.

In the afternoon, Maud began a boring reloading session.

Time passed, and until nightfall, Thor was still nowhere to be seen.

"Why hasn't Thor come back yet?"

Maud stands in front of the kitchen counter and helps Sunny with the ingredients for dinner.

"I guess I'm going to move the wine."

Sunny took a spoon and stirred the broth in the pot.

"Moving wine? Where to move the wine? ”

"An uninhabited island called Little Cutie, which is Thor's wine storage location, and by the way, the name Cutie was chosen by Thor himself."

“……”

Maud was speechless.

"And when will he be back?"

"Five days as short."

Sunny scooped the soup and tasted it, and then said, "He has always been like this, when he wants to carry the wine by himself, he always goes without saying a word." ”

"Okay."

Maud nodded.

But I was thinking in my heart, such a coincidence?

........

Late at night.

Thor still hasn't returned.

Obviously, as Sunny said, most of them actually went to the little cute island to carry wine.

There's no time to lose, and Maud gears up and heads to the store's shelves.

He looked left and right, and then took the raven into his hand.

After two months, I held the knife again, and I felt a little rusty.

"Tonight, let's have a good hunt."

Maud pinned the Raven to her waist and walked out of the weapons shop, heading out into the block.

The stack of bounty orders that had been brought from Tatam in the morning had all been written into the hunter's notes in the name of the hunter.

These names are basically pirates with bounties between 5 million and 15 million, and it is not worth the effort to find out the information.

Although the overall income will be less, it can be made up for by quantity.

Maud walked through the winding alleys and onto the street.

"Let's go to the Tomahawk Tavern."

After walking a few streets, Maud came to the door of the long-lost Tomahawk Tavern.

Pushing open the door, the tavern was full of people, and the smell of wine and heat came to the face.

Maud stood in the doorway, looking around the brisk tavern.

To outsiders, it looked like he was looking for a seat.

In fact, he was looking for "familiar" prey.

At the wine table near the gate, one of the pirates recognized Maude and couldn't help but raise his hand and pat his partner at the table.

"It's Usopp ......"

The pirates at the table were startled and whispered.

As if triggering a chain reaction, more and more pirates in the tavern recognized Maude.

For a moment, the noise slowly subsided.

Most of the pirates present saluted Maude as she stood at the door.

That's the effect of fame.

No matter where you go, as long as you are recognized, you will naturally attract attention.

Pirate circles, about that.
