Chapter 23 Notes
During the day, gun salutes are fired from all over Mad Hatter.
There were no signs of cessation until evening.
Soon after, the sun went down and the lights began to come on.
After dinner, Sol brought all the cash to go to the auction.
Although he does not have the talent to lead the way to the great swordsman, he likes to collect famous swords very much.
And the fifty good and fast knives at the auction tonight are his goal.
Before leaving, he looked back at Sonny and Maud, and said in a slightly warning tone:
"You two, go to bed early tonight if you have nothing to do."
"it is good."
"learn."
Sonny and Maud nodded.
Seeing this, Sol opened the store door and walked out.
Watching Thor leave, Maud immediately closed and bolted the door.
"Sunny, then I'll go to bed first."
"Oh, want to sneak out so early?"
"Well, not anyway... eh? What are you talking about?"
"I said, as soon as Saul left on the front foot, you wanted to sneak out and join the fun on the back foot?"
"What are you talking about, it's so dangerous outside, how dare I go out?"
Maud couldn't help laughing at the intention to be discovered by Sunny.
Sunny snorted coldly when she heard the words: "Do you think I don't know what you've done these days?"
"What did you do?"
Maud blinked and asked back.
Seeing that Maud was acting stupid again, Sunny didn't bother to compete, and instead warned:
"Tonight is different from the past, so you'd better not go out, I don't want to see Arthur drop your eyeballs, cut off your ears and nose, cut your torso into a dozen pieces, and lose half of your internal organs as soon as you open the door tomorrow. Bring the dead body to the store."
"Sunny, you, you, you are cruel enough!"
The corners of Maud's eyes twitched wildly, unable to bear Sonny's well-meaning warning.
Sunny looked serious and said, "I'm serious."
"I see."
"Then you sleep honestly at night."
"..."
Maud was silent.
Sunny frowned upon seeing this, and could not help but fall silent.
She knew that when Maud stopped wrangling, there was no way to change his decision.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
After a long time, Sunny suddenly walked to the counter and pulled out a book with a yellow cover from the depths of the counter drawer.
"Take it."
She threw the book at Maud.
Maud raised his hand to take the book, wondering, "What is this?"
"The intelligence book that I have written down by hand over the past few years."
"Information book?"
Maud's eyes narrowed and he quickly opened the book.
"This is……"
After a few glances, Maud suddenly showed an excited look.
In this not-so-thick book, I actually recorded a lot of information about the pirates who had the highest bounties.
That's exactly what he's missing the most right now.
Before, I thought that Sunny would go to check the bottom of the [neighbors] because of prevention.
Now it seems that the real reason is that Sunny has been doing this kind of thing all the time.
"Sunny, is this your hobby?"
Suppressing his excitement, Maud almost shoved the book directly into his arms.
Sunny couldn't understand the reason for Maud's excitement, but she didn't delve into it. She shook her head and said, "It's not entirely a hobby, it's just a preparation for the future."
"Prepare for the future?"
"Well, because Sol is already old, he might not be able to wake up one day, and he might die next month. This kind of thing is not impossible."
Sunny first gave an understatement about the potential future that Sol needs to face as an elderly person, and then continued:
"At that time, I will have to bear some of the pressure alone,
And my own strength is very limited, so I can only reduce the pressure through the information prepared in advance. "
"Have you thought so far?"
Maud was a little surprised, but he felt that Sol could live for a few more years. After all, he had the energy to spend the morning exercise on the street every day.
Inadvertently, he seemed to get used to Sunny's inadvertently vicious tongue.
"Because I'm not like you, I have talent."
Sonny glanced at Maud's lower body.
She was looking at the weight on her legs.
"Uh……"
Maud didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Saul specially rescued you back then. The original intention was not because of good intentions, not only to make the store have an extra coolie, but more so that I would not be alone in the future."
"There have been several positions before you, but they all died tragically because they couldn't adapt to Mad Hatter."
Speaking of which, Sonny stared into Maud's face.
"But even Sol didn't expect that the guy he brought back this time, although sometimes glib, but his talent is so amazing that he even made an exception and offered to accept an apprentice."
Maud couldn't help but be silent.
He had wondered before about Sol saving him back.
And now I finally understand.
Looking at Maud who was silent, Sunny's tone became more serious and said, "I don't hate you, that's why I gave you a 'note', and I don't want you to die too early."
"thanks."
Maud suddenly smiled knowingly.
Even if you don't like it, I don't hate you either.
he thought to himself.
Sunny snorted coldly: "I don't care what you plan to do in the future, but I have to return the 'notes' to me tomorrow night."
"Ah? Do you want to pay it back?"
"Nonsense, that's something I've worked so hard to memorize!"
"No, is it okay?"
"No, and you can copy it yourself."
"That's right."
Maud smiled.
Having said this, Sunny stopped talking and went to the second floor first.
She gave [Notes] to Maud in order to keep Maud away from those dangerous guys, so that he would not be killed inexplicably.
"Sunny."
Maud stopped her suddenly.
Sonny stopped and looked back at Maud quietly.
"What kind of devil fruit do you want? I'll give you a whole one later?"
"..."
Seeing that Sunny didn't speak, Maud snapped his fingers and smiled:
"Don't want the natural type. The difficulty of obtaining is too high. The animal type is not bad, and it is resistant to beatings. However, the lower limit is too low, and the types are mixed. Unless it is an phantom beast, don't consider it."
"After much deliberation, I'd better choose the superhuman type, but there are various types of superhuman type, and there are several general directions, such as superhuman body, creation type, domination type, etc."
"So it depends on which aspect you have a higher demand for, and I remember there is a superhuman devil fruit called Slippery Fruit, which I think is quite suitable for you."
Listening to Maud's sudden chatter, Sunny said blankly: "You know quite a bit about Devil Fruits."
“Σ(?д?)”
Maud quickly explained: "I read the relevant information in a book."
"Oh."
Sunny thought for a while, then suddenly turned back towards the counter.
Seeing this, Maud wondered: "What are you doing?"
"record."
Sunny took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the Devil Fruit analysis that Maud just said.
Maud was speechless.
Isn't it more important to choose a direction first than to write notes?
He silently looked at Sunny who was lying on the counter taking notes seriously, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Obviously, he looks very smart, but sometimes it gives him a kind of dull feeling.
Devil fruit...
In his mind, Sunny's expression when she saw the auction brochure slowly emerged.
"Although I can't do it now, I will definitely get you a Devil Fruit in the future."
Maud muttered to himself in his heart.
