Chapter 6 Combing
It's not that Maude is pretending to be stupid.
Mainly, the timing of Sonny's question is too strange.
Seeing Maude's puzzled face, Sunny added, "Arthur's hand." β
"Oh, that'......"
Maud looked at Sunny strangely.
After a pause, he put down the mop bucket and repeated the dodge in slow motion.
After doing this, he looked at Sunny and said in an uncertain tone, "Is that so?" β
Sunny was silent.
A few seconds later, there was a sudden sound of falling objects on the counter.
Maud subconsciously looked under the counter, and her eyelids moved when she saw the small part of the handle peeking out at the edge of the cabinet.
Sunny said at the right time: "It's just that the gun accidentally dropped, don't worry." β
With that, she bent down to pick up the gun and placed it casually on the counter.
"I can't remember the action you just demonstrated, so I'm sorry for you to demonstrate it again."
ββ¦β¦β
Maude glanced at the flintlock pistol lying across the counter, the muzzle of which was intentionally or unintentionally aimed at herself.
He pondered for a moment, and of course he wouldn't demonstrate the pointless action again.
It's unclear what Sunny is trying to do, but it doesn't seem like it's perfunctory.
"I didn't use any method, but I was able to dodge it in time because I was on guard at the time, and besides, this kind of thing is not a big deal, right?"
Hearing this, Sunny looked at Maud quietly.
After half a ring, she nodded and said calmly: "It's really not a big deal, you can continue to be busy." β
ββ¦β¦β
Maud was dumbfounded, and could only silently label Sunny as weird.
He then placed the mop bucket in the storage room.
When she returned to the store, Sunny was still seated.
The flintlock pistol that had been lying across the counter was gone, and a piece of papyrus paper with a pencil pressed on it was removed.
Maude's gaze swept over the pen and paper, and he asked, "Can I go back to my room?" β
Sunny nodded, pulling out the papyrus paper pressed under the pencil, and motioned for Maud to come and take it.
Maud understood, walked over to the counter, and took the straw paper from Sonny.
A few lines of handwriting are written on it.
A cursory glance at what seemed to be a few precautions.
With so little content, you have to write it on paper?
Maud had a question mark on his head.
Closing the paper, Maude caught a glimpse of the pencil out of the corner of her eye, her thoughts moving slightly.
"Sonny, can I bring this back to my room?"
"Whatever you want."
"Thank you."
Maud took the pencil and turned to leave.
Sunny watched Maude leave, then pulled out a notepad and a newspaper from a drawer under the counter.
She placed two things on the countertop.
The newspaper was set aside, and the notepad was halfway opened.
On the page that was flipped to was written some information with the names of the people included.
Sunny glanced at it, then rolled it again.
There are also words on this page, and in the upper part of the page, Kidd's name is prominently displayed.
Without looking further, Sunny flipped through a few more times, and finally turned to a completely blank page.
After that, she took out a pencil from the drawer, first glanced at the contents of the newspaper, and then wrote something on the notepad with the pen.
After a few minutes, Sunny stopped writing.
More than half of the originally blank page has been written.
At the bottom of those words is Maude's full name, and a large question mark.
After one last glance at Maude's name, Sunny closed the notepad and placed it in the back of the drawer with her pencil.
"Let's talk to Thor."
Sunny muttered to herself.
.............
Maud returned to the room where she had woken up.
It was quite surprising that Maud was accepted so easily.
However, Maud can also see that Thor, who is in charge, is very casual in this regard.
The reason why they brought him back may really be purely as a future coolie in the store.
"Where you come, you are safe."
Maud muttered to herself, locked the door, and sat down on the dusty chair before studying the contents of the drafting paper.
[No matter day or night, you can't go out, stay in the house honestly.] γ
[Don't touch the items on the shelves. γ
[Basement is not allowed.] γ
γThere are ingredients in the kitchen refrigerator. γ
[I'll talk about the rest tomorrow.] γ
Maud read the contents of the papyrus with mixed feelings.
Just say these few things, isn't it okay to talk about them verbally?
Maud shook her head slightly, unable to comprehend Sonny's style of action, and threw the straw paper onto the same dusty table, then picked up the pencil she had brought with her.
γHunter's Notesγ
As soon as the thought moved, the black notebook appeared out of thin air.
Flipping to a blank page, Maude closed her eyes and tried to recall her memories of One Piece.
In order to consolidate these memories, he planned to write them down slowly, then comb through them, and write them several more times later.
Although the quill pen that comes with the hunter's notes is inkless, it is the only one that can leave a fundamental handwriting in the hunter's notes.
As for the other pens.
For example, the pencil in Maude's hand.
He can scribble with a pencil on any of the pages in the hunter's notes.
But then if you remove the hunter's notes, the words and graffiti left on the pages will turn into graphite ash and fall to the ground.
In this way, Maud can use this to consolidate his memory at will.
You must know that the information transformed by these memories may become his nourishment in the future.
"I'm more impressed, is it really still the Straw Hat Pirates......
"After all, it's the protagonist group, and there is a lot of information disclosed."
"But the period when they were really strong was two years after the plot began."
"It's too far away......"
"Judging from Kidd's current age, there are still a few years before the plot starts, right?"
"Moreover, more suitable targets abound, and there is no need to focus on them."
"By the way, the Evil Dragon Pirates, I don't know if the Hunter Note can be effective against the Fish-Man Clan, as well as the Giant Clan!"
"If it works, I can't imagine it."
"Anyway, the Evil Dragon Pirates are in the East China Sea, and this is the West Sea, if you rely on navigation alone, can you go to the East China Sea?"
"I remember that Kidd seems to be from the South China Sea, and since he can come to the West Sea, it should be no problem to go from the West Sea to the East China Sea."
"It doesn't seem to make much sense to think about it now."
Maud combed through her memories as she wrote and drew on the page.
Although he knew nothing about navigation, it did not prevent him from thinking differently.
Immersed in it, time passed minute by minute.
.........
Thor's room.
The lit candles are placed on the windowsill, next to the bed, on the table, etc., providing sufficient light source for dozens of square meters.
There was a more convenient electric light, but Thor abandoned it.
This has always been one of the things that Sunny couldn't understand.
"You came to me just to tell me that Maud is abnormal?"
Thor sat cross-legged on a large double bed, his right hand holding the elongated, gold-plated pipe.
The smoke is thick and slightly choking.
His gaze fell on Sunny in front of him with a slight scrutiny through the smoke.
"But you know, I never cared about that."
"Thor, Maud and the ...... before It's not the same. β
"What's the difference?"
ββ¦β¦β
Sunny couldn't say why.
Thor gently rubbed the handle of the cigarette.
"You're right, he's very different."
