on the subject.

Maud couldn't answer for a moment.

The initial idea was simple, that is, to become strong as soon as possible, and then to get the capital to gain a foothold.

He knows it well.

In this world where big fish eat small fish, if you want to become someone else's chopping board, you have to become stronger than others.

Is this kind of purpose a dream?

Maud didn't know, but a sentence suddenly came to his mind.

If you want to live, you have to eat.

If you want to eat, you have to eat well.

How can this be done?

That is, strong enough to do whatever you want.

Maud pondered for a moment, then looked away from the side of Sonny's face to look at the starry sky, and said with a smile, "Is doing whatever you want a dream?" ”

Sunny thought for a moment and nodded, "Count, I remember Saul said something similar." ”

"What?"

"What's the point of going to sea if you can't do whatever you want?"

"It's not like he'd say it."

"Well, maybe he heard it somewhere."

"Haha."

The two of them chatted with each other.

Bailey lay on his side, and slept profusely.

Lafayette still sat quietly on the stone, drinking the goat's milk wine made by Jaya.

It's just that from time to time, he looks at Maude's side, as if eavesdropping.

Jaya sat on the side of the campfire, silent enough to hear Maud and Sunny's conversation clearly.

"Pirates......

Jaya muttered to herself.

Since she became sensible, all the pirates she has seen are some bastards who want to come to Mengmeng Island to burn and loot.

Even the pirates I learned about in the newspapers were all bad things.

So, she hates pirates.

Even though Jabba was a former pirate, she couldn't change her opinion.

But she's not the paranoid kind either, and she won't knock over a boatload of people with a stick.

At least, she didn't hate Thor.

If you have to say one......

Jaya glanced at the taciturn Lafayette without a trace.

This man doesn't give her a good impression.

She can't say why.

Lafayette was keen, and noticed that Jaya's gaze had flashed just now, and he only pursed his lips and smiled, and he didn't take it seriously.

The night passed.

The next day, under Thor's urging, Maud began his daily training again.

Thor looked calm, as if nothing had happened last night.

But he also knew that the old tearful and embarrassing appearance last night couldn't be washed away.

On the prairie, Maud sweats like rain.

Bailey accompanies Maud to work out.

Since he successfully lost weight, he seems to have changed sex, and he is very interested in exercising.

It is probably because he has experienced the benefits of becoming stronger......

Near noon, Jaya arrived as scheduled with lunch.

Maud and Bailey were already hungry and devoured them.

After a while, he ate all the food supplements lunch sent by Jaya.

After Jaya left, Maud glanced at Bailey, who was lying on the grass with a satisfied face.

"Thor, can a creature like Bailey learn to be domineering?"

Hearing Maude's words, Bailey's ears moved.

Thor groaned and said, "Theoretically possible. ”

"Oh."

Maud nodded.

Hearing Saul's words, Bailey straightened up his upper body, looking a little excited.

However, he still prefers the moon step, after all, it is a skill that can be used to escape.

After a break, Maud and Bailey began to work out again.

In the field, Sunny still studied seamanship with Lafayette.

After deciding to go to the revolutionary army, Sunny was obviously less enthusiastic about exercising.

Because she wants to become an intelligence officer, the ratio of strength and knowledge has changed.

In itself, she is not the material to become a strong person.

After Jaya came back, she was idle and listened to it.

She watched Lafayette speak about navigation in a coherent manner, but she had a different view of Lafayette.

And so the days went by.

Five months later.

On the grassland, the sound of air explosions sounded frequently.

Thor and Jabba sat on the rocks, looking up at Maud stomping the air in the air and changing direction in a "Z" shape.

After five months, Maude finally mastered the art of the moon step.

Now he is able to use the moon step to change direction in the air.

Once you reach this level, you will be able to use the moon step in battle.

Watching Maude trample on the air towards the top of the mountain, Thor said lightly: "It's a month faster than expected." ”

Jabba sighed, "Time flies so fast. ”

"Hmm."

Thor nodded and whispered, "It's time for him to go to sea......"

Jabba smiled, wanting to tease a few words, but gave up after thinking about it.

On the top of the mountain.

Maud stood on the edge of the cliff, closing her eyes and enjoying the wind blowing on her face.

Maybe it's because of human nature, and when you use the moon step, you will have a very free feeling.

For that alone, it was worth the time it took to master the technique.

After a moment, Maud opened her eyes.

In the distant sky ahead, a conscientious newspaper gull flew in this direction.

"Is the weekly newspaper delivery today?"

Maude looked at the newspaper delivery gull, and the thought arose, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Bang bang!

He stepped on the moon to meet the newspaper gull.

The newspaper gull was startled when he saw a human volley "walking" in the air.

After seeing the human appearance clearly, I was a little relieved.

I came here to deliver newspapers so many times, and the newspaper delivery gull knew Maude.

"I took the newspaper."

Maud came to the newspaper delivery and pulled a newspaper out of the belt.

Seeing this, the newspaper gull couldn't help but shout.

It's like saying, "Pay?"

Although Maud couldn't understand it, she could understand the meaning of the newspaper gulls.

"Go find Sunny and ask for it."

After leaving a sentence, Maud stopped his moon steps and let his body fall to the ground, disappearing from the sight of the newspaper gull in a few moments.

The newspaper gull was quite helpless, so he could only continue to fly to the residence.

It's afraid that it will hack the money of a newspaper.

Maude landed firmly on the ground with the newspaper in her hand, and then flipped through it.

Occupying the headlines is still about pirates.

"Is Fire Fist Ace again?"

Maude glanced at the photo of Ace at the headline location.

The headline is probably that Fire Fist Ace has been very active since becoming the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, defeating many enemies for the Whitebeard Pirates.

There is also a pre-message.

In a little more than a month, there will be a quadrennial world conference.

"Have you finished reading?"

Maud was scanning the newspaper when she heard Thor's voice coming from ahead.

"I'm done."

Maud is duplicitous.

I haven't finished reading it yet, but I already know the general content.

"Bring the newspaper after reading."

"Okay."

Maud walked over and handed the newspaper to Saul.

Thor took the newspaper and spread it out to read it.

"Huh? Headlines is this Fire Fist Ace again? ”

"Tsk."

Jabba leaned over to look at it and smacked his tongue.

Maud watched from the sidelines as Thor and Jabba reacted.

The two elders don't yet know that Ace is Roger's son.

Think about it too.

If he knew, it would be impossible to watch Ace be executed in the original book.

"Do you want to tell them? Forget it......"

Maud thought to herself.

They don't necessarily believe it, and they can't find a suitable reason after believing it.

Maud waited patiently for Saul to finish reading the newspaper.

subsequently

Maude said seriously: "Thor, I have mastered the moon step. ”

The implication is clear to Thor.

He put down the newspaper and looked at Maude calmly.

After a long time.

Thor patted the newspaper lightly.

"Stinky boy, how long will it take to see your picture in the headlines?"
