I sorted out the information last night, and it was wee hours without paying attention.
I fell asleep from exhaustion and woke up in less than two hours.
Fortunately, I finished a hunt yesterday, otherwise this body could not stand the toss.
After waking up, Maude couldn’t sleep anymore.
Lifted the thin quilt, got up and got out of bed.
I don’t know what job Saul will arrange for him.
Anyway, in order to settle down as soon as possible, he has taken the identity of coolie by himself.
Rubbing his cheeks, Maude opened the door and walked out.
The needle drop in the corridor was audible, making the slight creaking sound made by stepping on the wooden floor unusually conspicuous.
There is a window nailed to a wooden board on the wall at the dead corner of the corridor. The sunlight in the morning passes through the gap in the window and forms a beam of light falling to the ground.
Maude glanced at the other closed doors and walked towards the corridor without staying too long.
He followed the stairs to the first floor.
The corridor on the right leads directly to the store, and on the left leads to the living room and kitchen.
It may be early, and the store door did not open.
However, Sonny was awake and was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
Maude first took a brief wash, and then went to the dining room connected to the kitchen.
He was hungry.
I could bear it yesterday, but not today. I don’t know if it was a reaction caused by a good body recovery.
Sonny looked up at a hungry Maude, pushed a glass of milk to the seat, and motioned Maude to sit down and eat.
Maude was not polite, pulled the chair away and sat down.
He noticed a set of bowls and dishes stained with residue in front of the other empty seat, thinking that Saul had left it after eating.
Maude raised the wooden cup and took a sip of milk, his brows frowned, only to feel that his mouth was full of the unique smell of raw milk.
Enduring the discomfort, drinking all the raw milk, picking up a piece of meat steak and taking a few bites, there is an illusion of coming back to life.
I have to say that this shop looks shabby, but the food is really good.
But what makes Maude most comfortable is the casualness shown by Saul and Sonny, which is quite different from the expected pirate.
Moreover, in a sense, Saul is his lifesaver.
After swallowing a few steaks, Maude slowed down.
He glanced at Sonny, who had eaten almost the same, thinking about the precautions written on the piece of paper yesterday that he could not go out during the day and night, and his mind moved.
“Sonny, Mad Hatter… what kind of place is it?”
“Don’t you know if you go out and have a look?”
“???”
Maude raised a question mark.
The content of the paper given yesterday is still vivid.
Seeing Sonny’s expressionless face, Maude wondered if this guy was taking revenge on himself for perfunctory her yesterday.
Wow—-
Just thinking about it, I heard the sound of Sonny pushing away the chair.
“Clean these up after eating, and then clean up the shop. I’ll give you half an hour.”
Aside from this sentence, Sonny went to the second floor without looking back.
Maude shook his head, wiped out the rest of the breakfast, and then began to clean up.
If he was only responsible for cleaning, then his coolie job would be too easy.
After clearing the table, Maude came to the shop with cleaning tools.
When cleaning the shelves, Maude paid special attention.
After all, one of the precautions that Sonny gave is not to touch these weapons on sale indiscriminately.
There are three shelves in the store. The first shelf is filled with various styles of swords, the second shelf is filled with flintlocks of different lengths, and the third shelf is a mix of swords and firearms.
If you remember correctly, Watt’s bloody long knife was wiped clean by Saul and placed on the third shelf yesterday.
Looking at the third shelf, which was clearly overwhelming in terms of quantity, Maude recalled Saul’s familiar actions yesterday, and couldn’t help but fall into contemplation: “…”
A shelf dedicated to second-hand goods?
Needless to say the origin of the goods.
However, strictly speaking, if a cold weapon like a sword is not physically damaged, it doesn’t matter whether it is used or not.
He looked away from the third shelf and turned to the shelf with a dozen guns.
There are not many, but the shelves seem to be empty.
Maude looked at the guns.
Whether it is the earth or the hunter world, the presence of guns has always been stronger than that of cold weapons.
Compared to cold weapons such as swords, Maude knows more about guns.
When he was in the Hunter World, even though his cultivation had reached the point where he no longer needed to rely on a gun, he would still wear a pistol with him.
In terms of spear technique, I dare not say that I am playing very slippery, but it can guarantee the basic shooting accuracy.
However, he also knew that in the world of One Piece, the sense of existence of cold weapons such as swords was much stronger than that of firearms.
Among those ruthless people who have cultivated to a certain degree, most use cold weapons instead of firearms.
But it is not to say that the upper limit of firearms is not enough. It is just that there are only a handful of people who can maximize the [range advantage] of firearms.
“Is gun also in there?”
Maude suddenly thought of Kidd who came to the store yesterday.
That so-called Keanu with a gun can make Kidd so obsessed, it is certainly not low in quality.
Looking closely at the few guns on the shelf, Maude, who is only familiar with modern firearms, really couldn’t see why.
With his current knowledge of flintlocks, he couldn’t tell the quality of these dozen or so flintlocks at all, let alone find out Keanu’s matching gun.
“It has to be used as soon as possible.”
Although the power of Sui muskets is not as powerful as modern firearms, it does not affect Maude’s attention to them.
Looking at the flintlocks on the shelf rather greedy, Maude’s mood floated.
In the early hunting, what was most lacking was simple and rude tools like firearms.
Resisting the urge to walk a second-hand flintlock from the third shelf, Maud wiped the shelf quickly.
After cleaning, he threw the cleaning tools back to the storage room, exactly half an hour passed.
Then, Sonny went downstairs on time and came to the shop.
Maude was keenly aware that Sonny seemed to be in a good mood.
He didn’t know that the reason Sonny was in a good mood was because she thought that she would not have to do the dirty work for some time in the future.
If Maude does not die early, then this time will be extended indefinitely.
Under Maude’s gaze, Sonny pulled out a thin ruler from the counter, then walked to the shelf and measured the goods on it.
That action made Maude’s scalp numb.
Damn, playing so big?
He thought that Sonny used a fine ruler to measure the goods on the shelf to check if he touched the goods randomly.
But after slowly looking at it, he realized that was not the case.
Silently watching Sonny fine-tune the items after the comparison, Maude only felt that his scalp became more numb.
Not daring to disturb Sonny, Maude waited patiently.
After an hour, Sonny finally finished, and then finally started a new day of business.
“Where is Saul?”
Seeing Saul’s delay in coming down, Maude was a little strange.
Sonny, who was sitting at the counter, glanced at him and said blankly: “Saul went for morning exercises, and usually comes back before lunch.”
“Oh, he went to the morning exercise.”
Maude suddenly, it is no wonder that Saul can maintain his strength at such an old age.
