Chapter 65: Usopp
After grounding Maude, Thor stopped going to Flower Street for morning exercises.
Instead, he stayed in the weapons shop all day, supervising Maude's training at all times.
As for the reason, it was naturally because of the rudimentary knife flower that Maude played that morning.
And Thor will not question Sonny's judgment, so it can only be said that Maud stepped into the threshold of the swordsman in only one day after getting the crow, and let the crow see blood.
At that moment, Thor saw in Maud a precious thing called talent.
There is both a talent for learning a gun and a talent for learning a knife.
This made Thor frightened, on the surface the wind was calm, but in his heart he was actually panicked.
Out of selfishness, he didn't want Maud to go down a "road of no return", but to let Maude go down the path of a gunman.
So, he tossed the raven on the shelves and became an item for sale.
Fortunately, Sunny still has a conscience and secretly prices the crow at 2 million Bailey.
This price that can't be darker anymore is enough to dissuade any potential buyer who has no eyesight, and there is no need to worry about the crow being bought by others.
From that day on, Maud could only stay in the weapons shop.
Under Saul's supervision, Maud spends almost all of her time doing intense physical training during the day.
The training on the legs, in particular, has reached the point of insaneness.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate act, Maude found that this vain surge in training volume was actually the highest peak he could withstand after his physique rose to one star.
After a few days of rotating training, Maud realized that Thor must have seen the clues, so he arranged these training contents for him.
Otherwise, the training content that was too junior to be grounded before was useless for him who had risen to one star in his physique.
At first, after determining this, Maude hastily came up with a number of explanations.
But what he didn't expect was that Thor only supervised his physical training every day.
Even in the evening gun modification training sessions, and in the training sessions to speed up the reloading of ammunition, he was never asked questions about the changes in his physique.
It went on like this for a while, but Thor still didn't pay attention, which made Maud feel uncomfortable.
To be honest, Maud would have preferred Thor to put the problem on the table directly, and then he would try to prevaricate as much as possible.
Even if you can't convince Saul, it's better than ignoring it like this.
………………
Time passes.
Two months passed in a flash.
Thor never visited Flower Street once during his time, and spent almost all of his time on Maude, fulfilling his duties as a master perfectly.
Under this all-round training, although Maude can't go out to harvest experience points, his physical strength has also increased to a certain extent.
It's just that, compared to the intuitive benefits of hunter notes, high-intensity and boring training like this is relatively slow.
In fact, Maud would prefer to have both, to be able to train and hunt at the same time.
However, he didn't dare to sneak out at all.
For two months, if it weren't for the fact that I could rub Sunny Girl's newspaper every day, it would be a real isolation from the world.
However, under Saul's careful teaching, Maud has mastered a lot of knowledge about gun modification, as well as maintenance and repair, and has been able to carry out preliminary modifications of flintlock pistols.
At the same time, the reload speed has improved considerably.
According to Saul, the Navy will ask soldiers to compress their reload speed to less than ten seconds.
And the time value of ten seconds is only the most basic passing line.
In contrast, Thor's requirement for Maud was that the smoothbore gun be loaded within three seconds, while the rifled gun was loaded within five seconds.
When Maud finally met this requirement, Thor did not strictly demand that Maude continue to improve the speed of reloading.
This bad old man only used one practical action to tell Maude what it means to [never change his original intention].
That is to perform a superb skill of reloading ammunition in an instant in front of Maude.
Maud didn't even see how Thor stuffed the right amount of gunpowder into the barrel, only to see Thor use one finger to perfectly press the soft lead bullet into the rifled barrel.
It's really a blink of an eye.
Ammunition reloading is complete.
This technique of attaining the state of enlightenment is in the middle of Jesus.
Perhaps, this is already the fastest reload rate.
Maud thought at the time, not to mention practicing to the realm of instant reloading, as long as he could complete the reload between 0.5 seconds and 1 second, then he could completely disgust the enemy to death.
It was only after this method of warfare that Maude truly realized the importance of the gunner's leg training.
It's one thing to run away when the situation isn't good, it's not a fight.
But firing guns while running can really make melee type enemies desperate.
One day, Maud modified two rifled pistols to add a little more power.
Later, Maud tried to strengthen [Usopp], but found that he couldn't do it.
Knowing that his modification skills were not in place, he took [Usopp] to Thor, wanting Thor to help enhance the comprehensive performance of [Usopp].
In response to Maud's request, Thor only glanced at [Usopp] and made up his mind.
"This gun is too old, and there is no room for modification after the hands of Jesus cloth."
"That's right."
Maud was a little disappointed.
After learning more about firearms, Maud began to be dissatisfied with the power and range of Usopp.
Since there was no room for modification, the idea of changing the gun was born.
Maud knew that Thor had always been generous when it came to firearms.
So as long as he speaks, it is estimated that the guns on the shelves can be picked at will.
Thor's eyesight was so good that even though Maud didn't show signs of changing his gun, he could see at a glance that Maude wanted to change his gun.
"Don't think about changing guns, even if this gun is old and old, it's better than the guns on the shelf."
"Impossible, right?"
Maude isn't a novice in firearms now.
With his eyesight, just a few rifled spears on the shelves could completely explode [Usopp] in terms of power and range.
"You know the."
Thor scolded, then picked up [Usopp] and said, "For you, it is only a matter of time before you change your gun, but not now. ”
"Why?"
Maud didn't understand.
He had used [Usopp] several times, and knew that [Usopp]'s power and range were really bad.
"You kid, you really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings."
"Do you know that an old gun like this, which has been 'tempered' by top gunners, is something that many new gunners in the world dream of? Not to mention that this gun is Jesus' old partner since his debut. ”
"Why do you think Kidd is so obsessed with Keanu's gun?"
"Because Keanu's gun and Jesus' gun are both rare 'old guns', they have a 'special feel' that the previous gunman gradually refined over a long period of time."
Speaking of this, Thor deliberately glanced at Maude, and continued:
"When you use this gun, don't you think it's easy to use? Isn't there a feeling of pointing and hitting where? ”
"Hear you say that......"
Maude only felt a torrent of water flow through her limbs, and a look of surprise gradually appeared in her eyes.
It's no wonder that when you use [Usopp] for the first time, you will have such a comfortable feel.
It's no wonder that he has never touched a smoothbore gun, but it doesn't affect his marksmanship at all.
It was only at this moment that Maud understood the value of this [Usopp].
Between the thoughts switching, Maude suddenly thought of something, and suddenly, his eyes were shining at Thor.
"Master!"
“……”
Thor's face twitched.
This is the first time Maude has called him master, and it must not be a good thing.
Immediately after, Maude said seriously: "Then can I take a look at your 'old gun'?" ”
Even honorifics are used.
"My gun was broken by a guy a few years ago."
Thor said expressionlessly.
"Who?"
Maud asked very unfamiliarly.
In an instant, Thor's face fell.
