Chapter 55: Chips (Debt Repayment)
Being able to walk into Karp's room without knocking on the door is counted as one of the few in the entire Navy Headquarters.
Cranes with gray hair and wrinkled faces are one of them.
She walked into the room and slammed the door behind her.
Karp flipped the newspaper over and pressed it against the table, so obvious that nothing was written on his face.
Despite Karp's swift movements, Tsuru saw the photo and name listed on the top of the newspaper.
"Portcas. D. Ace, a new pirate who has recently emerged, and is also saddled with the name of 'D', what is his relationship with you? ”
Tsuru walked over to the table and looked at Karp with scrutinizing eyes.
"Little Crane ......"
Karp smiled awkwardly, but didn't know what to do in a hurry.
Regarding the secret of Ace's background, he didn't even dare to let Sengoku know, but now he accidentally let Tsuru find out.
Under that scrutinizing gaze, it seems that nothing can be hidden.
"Do you eat donuts?"
Karp picked up the doughnut on his plate and changed the subject very lamely.
Tsuru didn't even glance at the doughnut, and said calmly: "If you don't want to say, then I won't ask to the end." ”
"Haha!"
Karp breathed a sigh of relief and casually tossed the doughnut into his mouth.
Looking at the heartless Karp, Tsuru shook his head helplessly, and said straightforwardly: "There's news from Gion." ”
"Huh?!"
Karp's face straightened, he swallowed the doughnut in a few bites, naturally sat up straight, and asked, "About the 'trick gun'?" ”
"Hmm."
Crane nodded: "According to the informant, although it is still not the time, there is a very clear opportunity. ”
"You say."
Karp's expression gradually became solemn, waiting for the next step.
"There is one more chip to suppress the trick gun, and this time the new chip is not light, at least it is worth the trick gun to protect it."
"Hmm......"
Karp touched his chin and groaned.
Crane said in a flat tone: "It's just that it remains to be seen whether the time is ripe, you have been waiting for so many years, and it is not too long for such a while, so don't worry." ”
"I understand."
Karp frowned.
Tsuru looked at Karp, who was rarely serious.
"You can tell Sengoku about this, and even if you don't take a position, you can at least provide you with a lot of assistance."
"Forget it, this matter is my personal will after all, and it's just to deal with an old pirate who has been retired for many years, even if the 'trick gun' is ......"
Karp shook his head and said in a deep voice: "From the standpoint of the navy, it is impossible to waste energy on him, you know, among those remnants, only the 'trickster gun' has no reputation. ”
Crane nodded lightly when he heard this, and said, "From a personal standpoint, I also hope to solve the trick spear, even if he has withdrawn from this sea...... What's more, it is not ruled out that the new 'chips' will become his personal disciples. ”
Karp picked up a new doughnut and took a bite, and said seriously, "If that's the case, it's not a bad thing." ”
Crane said lightly: "If it can be killed in time, it is naturally not a bad thing in terms of the current situation, but if there is a second 'trick gun', it will be more than just you and me." ”
"Of course!"
There was momentum oozing from Karp's eyebrows.
Tsuru said: "There is one thing that I am a little concerned about. ”
"What?"
"That new bargaining chip seems to be the right thing to kill the pirates...... Soft spot. ”
"Uh-huh???"
Karp didn't know so he looked at the crane.
"Don't look at me like that, the information is limited, and even I can't analyze the motives and reasons."
"Okay."
"In addition, the revolutionary army has a slight intersection with that island, and it should be to liberate the slaves on the island."
"Oh."
Hearing the revolutionary army, Karp's tense body slowly relaxed, and the coldness of his reaction could be seen.
Tsuru was aware of the veiled relationship between Karp and the Revolutionary Army, so he was not surprised by Karp's reaction.
"At that time, there may be a change."
“……”
Karp was silent.
............
Thor Weapons Shop.
Maud clung to the crow, stabbed or chopped in the store, and danced in style.
After warming up, he looked at Sunny at the counter and asked, "How?" ”
Sunny silently staggered her gaze, not wanting to comment on the lame knife technique.
“……”
Maud turned to look at Bailey at the counter.
Driven by the desire to survive, Bailey praised with a clear conscience: "Sharp edge, good knife skills!" ”
Maud smiled slightly.
However, he is still self-aware, but if the hunt goes well tonight, his knife proficiency will definitely skyrocket.
Putting the raven back into the sheath, Maud walked over to the counter and said, "Sonny, help me estimate how much the raven is worth." ”
Sunny took the crow silently, looked at it for a while, and commented: "The quality is average, the price is almost between 60-800,000 Bailey, if you sell it in the store, you can put the price at 1.2 million." ”
"That's okay, it's not a loss anyway."
Maud was satisfied with putting away the crow, of course it was impossible to put the crow in the store to sell.
As a novice knife user, it is good to have such a knife in the early days.
When you become more powerful later, you can look for a quick knife.
If you can get a weapon fruit, you can also use the unique [Bio Knife].
"By the way, don't tell Thor about it."
“……”
Sunny was silent.
Maud only acquiesced to Sunny and went to the second floor, ready to hide the crow properly.
Sunny looked at Maude's departing back, and after a moment said to herself, "I didn't promise." ”
...........
Arriving at the room, Maude looked at the rather empty room, and couldn't find a suitable place to hide the knife in a short time.
Looking at it, it can only be placed under the quilt.
Hiding the crow, Maud did not rush downstairs, but summoned the hunter's notes and wrote down information about the abilities of Kazt and the others.
【Cini. Kazit】
[Animals are capable of yak fruits. 】
[Trick 1: Black Hoof, concentrate on the arm in a short instant, and hit the target directly with the help of the hardened hoof. 】
[Trick 2: Savage Impact, between attacks, poke the target with a hard angle on the top of your head.] 】
[Trick 3: Double strike, both hooves hit out at the same time, straight to the throat and abdominal cavity. 】
[Taylor. Gabton】
【Proficient Knife】
[Trick 1: Shock Crack Slash, a high-speed five-in-a-row slash that converges at one point.] 】
[Trick 2: Ditang, take the opportunity to slash at the target's knee joint unprepared, and lay the winning momentum. 】
【Andy. Wells]
【Proficient Gun】
After writing down the brief and detailed information, Maude removed the hunter's notes.
When recording information, you don't need to go through the whole story, you just need to pick out the key points and describe them in detail, and you don't have to waste pages.
"The bounty order is convenient, even the surname is there, otherwise, if you lose the surname, you will have to lose some of the key benefits."
"Next, it's just a matter of waiting patiently until midnight."
This is by far the most detailed information on the prey.
Thinking of the future gains, Maud couldn't help but look forward to tonight's hunt.
He couldn't wait to make that sense of fullness in grip on the handle clearer.
He also has a basic plan for the road ahead.
If it is not necessary, use the firearm to hit the distance first, and after being close to the knife, draw the knife......
After a day of nothing, night falls.
Patiently waited until about eleven o'clock in the evening, Maud put on his equipment, and after a little thought, even the dark crow brought it with him.
Quietly leaving the weapons shop, Maud melted into the night alone.
