Chapter 12: Devil Fruits
Late at night.
The wine was gone, and the dishes were finished.
Shanks and Jesus-Bu left.
As he was leaving, Maud promised Jesusb that he would take care of the gun as he did his son.
Then, after Jesus Bu left, Maud silently gave the shotgun a new nameβUsopp.
As the night deepened, Maude, who had found a gun and bullets, lay on the bed contentedly, sleepiness gradually set in.
Vaguely, it seems that you can hear Sol shouting that he was deceived and how the wine was gone.
But those don't matter anymore.
The important thing is that he has a gun and bullets, and he has taken a big step towards the second hunt.
Following.
Maud woke up early again.
First, I did a few sets of high-load workouts, and then I went down to the first floor.
At this point in time, Sunny had already prepared a table of overnutrient breakfast, and Thor had gone to Flower Street early for morning exercise.
I have to say again, it's not an exaggeration to say that the food in the store is heavenly.
But what makes Maud feel strange is that the food is so good, and Sunny eats a lot, but why can the figure still be flat...... Well, so thin.
Strange is strange, and you can't stop talking.
After gobbling up breakfast, Maude cleaned up the table without Sunny telling her, and then routinely cleaned the shop again.
Seeing that there was still some time, he cleaned the corridors and corridors.
After that, Sunny went downstairs and took out a small ruler to measure the placement of the goods one by one.
After that, the store started a new day.
As it had been yesterday, hours had passed without a single guest.
However, when Jesus bought two guns yesterday for five million Baileys, Maud had already changed his mind about the store.
This is obviously a weapon shop that takes the boutique route, and it belongs to the type of not opening for three days and opening for three years.
has nothing to do, in addition to combing his memory, Maude is doing a few sets of exercise movements.
Sunny sat at the counter and perused the daily newspaper.
She turned a blind eye to Maudena's work out in the store and didn't interfere too much.
Such a relaxed management attitude makes Modle relaxed.
Near noon, the door was pushed open.
Maud thought it was Saul who had returned from morning practice, and when she looked up, it turned out to be Arthur, the mortician.
Arthur walked into the store, closed the door with his backhand, and immediately looked at Sunny and Maud, and asked, "Is Thor back?" β
"Not yet."
Sunny put down the newspaper and answered.
Arthur wondered: "It's all at this point, and he hasn't come back yet?" I'm really getting younger and younger. β
Sunny was silent.
Arthur didn't care, walked to the counter, leaned half against the counter, and complained to himself.
"Yesterday, nearly 1,000 slaves were killed and injured in the pig factory because of the riots, but I am really tired, and I don't know what these slaves think. Now it's okay, there are so many casualties, the production capacity of the pig factory can't keep up in the short term, and the unlucky ones are not the other slaves? β
Listening to Arthur's left slave and right slave, Sunny gradually turned cold.
Noticing Sonny's reaction, Arthur patted the mask on his face and apologized insincerely, "Sorry, sorry, I almost forgot that you don't like to hear this." β
Sunny snorted coldly, too lazy to talk to Arthur again.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Arthur smiled indifferently, took out a bland booklet from his pocket, and put it on the counter.
"This is the brochure of the auction that just came out today, I think Saul will be very interested, by the way, I will tell him for me, I will be waiting for him at the auction gate at the end of the month."
"Oh."
Sunny has a cold attitude.
Arthur shrugged and turned to leave.
Before leaving, he looked back at Maude and said, "Little guy, it's best not to run on the street during this time, so as not to be caught and taken to the pig factory to make up the numbers." β
After saying that, Arthur pushed the door and left, but he didn't forget to maintain the unspoken rule of the store - to cover up the store.
After Arthur left, Maud leaned over to the counter and asked, "Sonny, what's the pig factory?" β
"Some of the meat you ate in the morning came from the pig factory, what do you say is that?"
"But what does that have to do with slaves......
Halfway through speaking, Maude suddenly thought of some pictures that would be harmonized, his face immediately changed, and he lost his voice: "Should those meat be ......?" β
As soon as Maude's reaction was seen, Sunny knew that Maud must be trying to be crooked.
"What are you fooling about? It was only a food production base, with sound animal husbandry and plantation, but most of the people in charge of the work in it were ordinary people who raided slave boats and pirates from all over the world, and a few were naval soldiers who were captured by pirates, so they were nicknamed jokingly. β
Explaining this, Sunny suddenly glanced at Maude's bandage, which had not yet been removed, and said meaningfully:
"In the eyes of that group of brutes, the seriously injured target is worthless goods, and sometimes considering the cost of handling, it is impossible to send them to the black market for sale, and they are generally thrown directly into the sea for disposal."
After a pause, Sunny said calmly, "So, Maude, you're lucky. β
"Are you lucky......"
Maud looked thoughtfully at the disfiguring scar on Sunny Sonny's face, and nodded, "Indeed, it's my luck to wake up here." β
"Actually, you should thank Saul, he ......"
Sunny opened the booklet Arthur had left behind, and stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, and her expression suddenly became excited.
"Devil Fruits, there are Devil Fruits in this auction!"
"Huh?"
Maud raised an eyebrow, ignoring the consequences, and walked into the counter and looked at the album in Sonny's hand.
A fruit with strange ripples suddenly came into view.
Looking at the picture of the fruit, Maude's eyes immediately changed.
Devil Fruits, the shortcut to becoming stronger that most people dream of!
It's a pity that with the current capital, it is undoubtedly impossible to get this devil fruit.
Maud couldn't even think about it, and quickly calmed down.
He noticed Sunny pinching the book's white fingers, and he could clearly feel Sunny Ny's excitement.
That excitement comes from the desire to become stronger.
"A great benefit like a devil fruit is not related to me for the time being."
Maud looked away from the album.
Although the Devil Fruit can make him on the road to hunting and becoming stronger as quickly as possible, he now wants money and no money, and he has no strength to rob it, so why waste his feelings.
Thinking so, he is still a little interested in the auction to be held at the end of the month.
I don't have any money, but it's always okay to have a good time, right?
Besides, maybe the auction house will cause trouble because of the presence of the Devil Fruit?
At that time, the aging [Usopp] will have a fire accident, and then shoot someone to death from a distance, it should not be a big move.
"There are more than twenty days until the end of the month, if you can hunt a few prey before then......"
Maud pondered the possibilities.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open for the second time.
It wasn't Thor, it was still Thor, but a strange man with long blond hair and a mask with a blue hole in his face.
Maud looked at the man and recognized him at a glance.
Isn't this Kira, one of the supernovas with Kidd?
