The initial idea was relatively simple, that is, to become stronger as soon as possible, and then gain the capital to stand on.
He is very clear.
In this world where big fish eat small fish, in order not to become the fish on someone elseâs chopping board, you have to become stronger than others.
Is this kind of purpose a dream?
Maud didnât know, but he suddenly thought of a word.
If you want to live, you have to eat.
If you want to eat, you have to eat well.
How to do this kind of thing?
That is, being powerful enough to be able to do whatever he wants.
Maud pondered for a while, looked away from Sonnyâs profile, turned to look at the sky full of stars, and said with a smile, âDoes it count as a dream to do whatever you want?â
Sonny thought for a while, then nodded and said, âForget it, I remember Saul said something similar.â
âWhat?â
âIf you canât do whatever you want, whatâs the point of going to sea?â
âItâs not like what he would say.â
âWell, maybe where did he hear it.â
âHa ha.â
The two chatted casually.
Bailey fell to the side and fell asleep.
Lafayette is still sitting on the stone quietly drinking the goat milk brewed by Jaya.
Itâs just that he looks at Maud from time to time, as if eavesdropping.
Jaya sat on the side of the bonfire, and while silent, he could clearly hear the chat between Maud and Sonny.
âPiratesâŚâ
Jaya muttered to herself in her heart.
Since she was sensible, the pirates she saw were all bastards who wanted to come to Mengmeng Island to burn, kill and loot.
Even the pirates that I learned about in the newspapers are all bad things.
So, she hates pirates.
Even though Gaban was a pirate before, she couldnât change her opinion.
But sheâs not the kind of paranoid person who wonât overturn a boatload of people with one stick.
At least, she doesnât hate Saul and the others.
One thing to sayâŚ
Jaya glanced at the taciturn Lafayette without a trace.
This man gave her a bad impression.
The reason, she couldnât say why.
Lafayette was very keen, noticing Jayaâs fleeting sight just now, just pursed his lips and smiled, and didnât take it seriously.
The night passed.
The next day, under the urging of Saul, Maud began his daily training again.
Saulâs expression was calm, as if nothing had happened last night.
But he also knew that the humiliating appearance of the old tears last night could not be washed away.
On the prairie, Maud sweated like rain.
Bailey works out with Maud.
Since he successfully lost weight, he seems to have changed his mind, and he is very interested in exercising.
It is estimated that it is because he has experienced the various benefits of getting strongerâŚ
Near noon, Jaya, who was carrying lunch, arrived as scheduled.
Maud and Bailey were already too hungry to gobble up.
After a while, the supplementary lunch that Jaya sent over was completely eaten.
After Jaya left, Maud glanced at Bailey, who was lying on the grass with a contented face.
âSaul, can a creature like Bailey learn Haki?â
Hearing Maudâs words, Baileyâs ears moved.
Saul pondered and said, âIt is theoretically feasible.â
âOh.â
Maud nodded.
Hearing Saulâs words, Bailey straightened his upper body, looking a little excited.
However, he still prefers the moon walk, after all, it is a skill that can be used to escape.
After a short break, Maud and Bailey started working out again.
In the residence, Sonny is still learning sailing skills with Lafayette.
After deciding to join the Revolutionary Army, Sonnyâs enthusiasm for training has obviously dropped a lot.
Because she wanted to be an intelligence officer, the ratio of strength and knowledge changed.
In itself, she is not the material to become a strong man.
After Jaya came back, he had nothing to do, so he just listened on the sidelines.
She watched Lafayette speak clearly about sailing,
Itâs a bit of a change for Lafayette.
Days go by like this.
five months later.
On the grassland, gas explosions sounded frequently.
Saul and Gaban sat on the rocks, looking up at Maud stomping the air in a âZâ change.
After five months, Maud finally mastered the technique of moonwalking.
Now he has been able to use the moon walk to change direction in the air.
After reaching this level, the moon walk can also be used in battle.
Seeing Maud stepping on the air towards the top of the mountain, Saul said lightly: âItâs a month sooner than expected.â
Gaban said with emotion, âTime flies so fast.â
âUm.â
Saul nodded and whispered: âItâs time to let him go to seaâŚâ
Gaban smiled, wanting to make a joke, but gave up after thinking about it.
on top of the mountain.
Maud stood on the edge of the cliff, closing his eyes and enjoying the wind on his face.
Perhaps it is from human nature, when using the moon step, there will be a very free feeling.
That alone makes it worth the time it takes to master this skill.
After a moment, Maud opened his eyes.
In the sky in the distance ahead, a conscientious newspaper delivery gull flew here.
âThe weekly newspaper delivery, is it today?â
Maud looked at the newspaper delivery gull, his thoughts arose, and he couldnât help but smile.
Bang bang!
He stepped on the moon walk to meet the newspaper delivery gull.
The newspaper delivery gull was shocked when he saw a human âwalkingâ in the air.
After seeing the appearance of the human, I felt a little relieved.
I came here to deliver newspapers so many times, and the delivery gull knew Maud.
âI took the newspaper.â
Maud came to the newspaper delivery gull and pulled a newspaper directly from the pocket.
When the newspaper delivery gull saw this, he couldnât help shouting.
Itâs like saying: Pay?
Although Maud couldnât understand it, he could also understand the meaning of the newspaper gull.
âGo to Sonny and ask for it.â
After leaving a sentence, Maud stopped the moon step, let his body fall to the ground, and disappeared from the vision of the newspaper delivery gull after a while.
The newspaper delivery gull was quite helpless, and could only continue to fly to the place of residence.
Itâs terrified of being hacked out of a newspaperâs money.
Maud landed firmly on the newspaper, and read it.
What occupies the headline position is still about pirates.
âIs it Fire Fist Ace again?â
Maud glanced at the photo of Ace at the headline location.
The headline content is probably that Fire Fist Ace became very active after becoming the second team captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and defeated many enemies for the Whitebeard Pirates.
There is also a preamble.
In just over a month, it will be the quadrennial world conference.
âHave you read it yet?â
Maud was scanning the contents of the newspaper when he heard Saulâs voice coming from the front.
âfinish watching.â
Maud is duplicitous.
Although I havenât read it yet, I already understand the general content.
âBring the newspaper over when youâre done.â
âOkay.â
Maud walked over and handed the newspaper to Saul.
Saul took the newspaper and spread it out to read.
âHuh? The headline is this Fire Fist Ace again?â
âTsk tsk.â
Gaban leaned over to take a look, and clicked his tongue.
Maud watched Saul and Gaban react.
The two elders didnât know that Ace was Rogerâs son.
Think about it too.
If he had known, it would have been impossible to watch Ace get executed in the original book.
âShould I tell them? Forget itâŚâ
Maud thought to himself.
Even if he say they donât necessarily believe it, he canât find a suitable reason after they believe it.
Maud waited patiently for Saul to finish reading the paper.
Subsequently,
Maud said seriously: âSaul, I have mastered the moon step.â
The implication is that Saul is clear.
He put down the newspaper and looked at Maud calmly.
After a long time.
Saul patted the newspaper lightly.
âStinky boy, how long will it take to see your photo in the headlines?â
