Half an hour later.

Maud leaned against a remote alley wall, panting slightly.

The battle with Abbey consumed too much of his physical strength, and after coming out of the tavern, he ran non-stop for twenty minutes straight.

So, even if I've been resting here for more than ten minutes now, I'm still a little relieved at the moment.

Especially at the mental level, because of the excessive use of [Heart Drop Fist Listening], it has led to some lack of energy.

But if it weren't for that, he would have been stabbed into a hornet's nest by Abbey.

"I almost didn't run away."

Maud took a deep breath before she had time to pull out her flintlock pistol and reload it.

Thinking back to the dangerous situation in the tavern just now, if it weren't for the last friendly support of the wolf mouse, even if he messed up the whole vortex, there was a high probability that he would have been planted there.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Maud was scared.

Fortunately, with the assistance of [Heart Drop Fist Listening], and his physical condition is not bad, he can cope with Abbey's sword fight.

However, he finally saw the strength of the bounty of more than 30 million with his own eyes.

"Kazt and Abbey......"

Maud summoned the Hunter's Notes and wrote down the [information] he had just experienced on the page.

When she was done, Maud put away her quill pen and stared silently at the names of Abbey and Gatzt.

"If you face it head-on, it is estimated that you will have to pay a price to kill Abe, and as for Gatzt, if you rely on guns alone, you have no chance of winning head-on, even if you are a sneak attack, you may not be able to kill with one hit."

Maud withdrew her notes and muttered to herself.

Today's incident made him deeply realize the weakness of the gunman.

Once you're stuck in close quarters, the only thing you can do is to distance yourself as much as you can.

Although as long as you are fast enough, you can fly kites to disgust enemies and even kill them.

But if the lethality of the firearm is not enough to pose a threat, even if it can be invincible, it is equivalent to being unable to do anything in disguise.

If you can't kill your prey, you can't let the Hunter's Note work.

Moreover, this is only a 30 million-level battle.

In the future, if there is a battle of more than 100 million yuan, with the level of firearms in the pirate world, what kind of effect can the gunner play?

If you think about it, Maud can refer to Usopp.

That is, the only way left for the Gunners is support?

Even so, I don't have teammates, so how can I support him.

Thinking of this, Maud suddenly wanted to go back and ask Thor.

Ask him how he's fought along the way.

If you face a strong enemy alone, what kind of tactics and ideas should you use to solve the strong enemy?

"Sure enough, the physical skills and knives are more reliable."

Maude sighed lightly, but he would not give up his marksmanship directly, after all, his skills are not pressing, and there is also the teaching of Thor with such old qualifications, even if he is not strong in the future, he can become a reliable hole card.

It's just that he wants to master a melee method more quickly now.

"Let's go home, although I didn't find a suitable prey to attack, I did get some information that I will use later."

After his physical strength was almost recovered, Maude didn't dare to go to the streets anymore at this point in time.

Moreover, the sequelae of listening to the heart dripping fist made him quite uncomfortable.

After all, his attainments in this area are only at the entry level, and he doesn't have [telekinesis] to reduce the burden, plus this body is relatively weak at this stage.

Under all these factors, it is not easy to fully use the skills in that situation.

"Where's this coming from?"

Maud looked at the unfamiliar surroundings around her.

I don't know which block I came to at the end.

After a moment of silence, Maud looked up at the top of the building.

It's too early, and if you go up there, it seems to be a bit swaggering.

Why don't you wait here until it gets dark?

Maud pondered.

At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps around the corner ahead.

Maude's eyes froze, and he immediately pulled out his pistol, ready to shoot at any time.

Footsteps soon approached, and a figure came out of the corner.

After seeing that the person who came was a wolf mouse, a strange color flashed in the depths of Maude's eyes.

"Big Brother Wolfrat, it's great that you're okay!"

Quietly hiding the pistol behind him, without waiting for the wolf mouse to speak, Maude took the lead in "punching" the attack.

Hearing Maude's words, the wolf-rat with an embarrassed face resisted the urge to beat Maude to death.

"I got away with it."

The wolf sneered, and the bloody right hand held a white skunk.

The skunk seemed to be injured, its lower limbs were limp, and its overall embarrassment was not inferior to that of a wolf mouse.

Maude glanced at the skunk and explained quietly:

"Brother wolf, I was really sorry just now, when I ran away, I suddenly heard you yelling in the back, which made me think that I was being caught up by the enemy, and I was so frightened that I couldn't help but shudder, and when I came back to my senses, the skunk that I had just rescued flew out inexplicably."

“……”

The corners of the wolf's mouth twitched slightly.

Skunk lowered his head, the pain made him feel refreshed, how could he have the energy to complain about Maude's shamelessness.

Soon, the wolf rat reacted and hurriedly spoke out in support of Maude's statement.

"Understand and understand, if it were me, it would definitely be even more unbearable."

After saying this, he didn't see the incredible emotion in Skunk's eyes.

[This human is stupid, isn't it?] 】

Skunk thought silently to himself.

Maud also didn't notice the special thing about the skunk, he looked at the wolf mouse, shook his head and sighed: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's all over, and we're all fine, that's the most important thing." ”

"That's right, it's the ...... Well? Haha, it's this reason, it's this reason. ”

The wolf rat was as uncomfortable as swallowing a mouthful of at this time, and he had to pretend to be delicious.

"By the way, this is what you left behind, if it weren't for the fact that I gave it back to you, I would have gone back to deal with the wound."

As he spoke, the wolf rat lifted the loveless skunk up.

This was the reason and motivation for him to chase after Maude.

Albeit somewhat far-fetched.

But he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and conquer Maud's friendship barriers.

"Oh, isn't that the pet named Abbey?"

Maude, however, corrected the wolf's mistake with a serious face.

The wolf mouse was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Huh? It turned out that this was Abbe's pet, I thought it was yours, so I carried him all the way. ”

As soon as the words fell, the skunk that had just finished evaporating its value was simply thrown aside by him.

When the skunk hit the fracture site when it hit the ground, he hissed in pain and almost spat out, but fortunately he finally held back.

[Two shameless bastards, sooner or later, they will be struck by lightning! ] 】

The skunk let down a hiss of pain, cursing the wolfrat and Maud viciously in his heart.

The wolf rat would not take into account the skunk's mood, he looked at his surroundings and pretended to be surprised.

"It's pretty close to my house, Brother Usopp, or go to my place to deal with your wounds...... Uh, take a break? ”

Originally, I wanted to talk about treating the wound, but the wolf mouse found that Maude's bastard thing was not injured, but he himself was injured all over his body, and his hands were almost ruined.

"Huh."

Maude smiled when she heard this.

“？？？”

The wolf mouse was stunned for a moment, and after half a sound, he cautiously asked, "Hehe...... Agreed? ”

"Okay, I'll go to your place and rest."

Maud wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she agreed.

He could see that there was something wrong with the wolf, but when he was in the tavern, if it wasn't for the wolfrat to stop Gatzt......

Because of this, Maud didn't mind going to see what medicine was sold in the wolf rat gourd.

Seeing Maude agree, the wolf rat was ecstatic, and he only felt that all the efforts were worth it.

However, he didn't show it on his face, and said calmly: "Come with me." ”

With that, he walked forward.

Maud put away her pistol without a trace, and quickly followed.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly looked back at the white skunk that was slowly crawling on the ground, trying to get out of here.

"Big brother wolf, do you think skunk meat can be eaten?"

Hearing Maude's words, the wolf rat stopped, also looking back at the white skunk, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Pierced into his body by two malicious gazes, the skunk stiffened and lay on the ground, not daring to move in the slightest.

[Brute, ......! 】
