During the day, the salutes from all over Mad Hatter town kept firing.
It wasnât until the evening that there was no sign of cessation.
Soon after, the sun went down and the lights began to brighten.
After dinner, Saul brought all the cash to go to the auction.
Although he doesnât have the talent to lead the way to a great swordsman, he likes to collect famous swords very much.
And 50 Skillful Grade Swords at auction tonight are his goal.
Before leaving, he looked back at Sonny and Maude, and said in a slightly warning tone:
âYou two, go to bed early if you are okay tonight.â
âOkay.â
âYes.â
Sonny and Maude nodded.
Seeing this, Saul opened the door and walked out.
Watching Saul leave, Maude then closed the door tightly and put it on the hook.
âSonny, then Iâll go to bed first.â
âOh, want to sneak out so early?â
âWell, anyway, no⌠eh? What are you talking about?â
âI said, as soon as Saul left with his front foot, you wanted to sneak out on the back foot to join in the fun?â
âWhat are you talking about, itâs so dangerous outside, how dare I go out?â
The intention was discovered by Sonny, Maude couldnât help but sneered.
Sonny snorted coldly after hearing the words: âDo you think I donât know what you have done these days?â
âWhat did you do?â
Maude blinked his eyes and asked back.
Seeing Maude pretending to be stupid again, Sonny didnât bother to fight, and then warned:
âTonight is different, so youâd better not go out. I donât want to see Arthur drop your eyes, ears and noses, cut off your torso, and half your internal organs as soon as I open the door tomorrow.â
âSonny, you, you, are ruthless!â
The corner of Maudeâs eyes jumped wildly, and Sonnyâs kind warnings were overwhelming.
Sonny looked serious and said, âIâm serious.â
âI see it.â
âThen you go to bed at night.â
ââŚâ
Maude was silent.
Sonny frowned when she saw this, and she couldnât help being silent.
She knew that when Maude no longer wrangled, he was unable to change his decision.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.
After a long time, Sonny suddenly walked to the counter and pulled out a book with a yellow cover from the depths of the drawer of the counter.
âTake it.â
She threw the notebook to Maude.
Maude raised his hand to take the notebook and asked in doubt: âWhat is this?â
âThe information book I wrote down over the past few years.â
âInformation book?â
Maude narrowed his eyes and quickly opened the book.
âThis isâŚ..â
After taking a few glances, Maude suddenly showed an expression of excitement.
In this not too thick book, I actually remembered a lot of information about the pirates who had gone up to the bounty.
This is what he currently lacks most.
I used to think that Sonny would check the bottom of [neighbors] at most because of preventive measures.
Now it seems that the real reason is that Sonny has been doing this kind of thing all the time.
âSonny, is this, is this your hobby?â
Suppressing his excitement, Maude almost squeezed the notebook directly into his arms.
Sonny couldnât understand the reason for Maudeâs excitement, but she didnât delve into it. She shook her head and said, âItâs not entirely a hobby, itâs just for future preparations.â
âPrepare for the future?â
âWell, because Saul is old, he may not wake up one day, and he may die next month. This kind of thing is not impossible.â
Sonny first gave an understatement of the potential future that Saul needs to face as an elderly person, and then continued:
âAt that time, I have to bear some pressure alone, and my own strength is very limited, so I can only reduce the pressure through the information prepared in advance.â
âHave you thought so far?â
Maude was a little surprised, but he felt that Saul could live for several years. After all, he had the energy to go to Flower street for morning exercises every day.
Inadvertently, he seemed to adapt to Sonnyâs inadvertent tongue.
âBecause I am not like you, with talent.â
Sonny glanced at Maudeâs lower body.
She was looking at the weight on her legs.
âUhâŚ..â
Maude didnât know how to answer the call for a while.
âSaul deliberately saved you back. The original intention was not because of good intentions, nor was it not just to let the store have an extra coolie, but also to prevent me from being left alone in the future.â
âThere have been several appointments before you, but they all died miserably because they couldnât adapt to Mad Hatter.â
Having said this, Sonny stared at Maudeâs face.
âBut even Saul himself did not expect that the guy brought back this time, although sometimes slick, but the talent is so amazing, so that he even made an exception and offered to accept a disciple.â
Maude couldnât help being silent when he heard the words.
He had also wondered before about the incident that Saul rescued him back.
And now I finally understand.
Looking at Maude, who was silent, Sonnyâs tone became more serious and said: âI donât hate you, so I will give you a ânoteâ, and I donât want you to die too early.â
âthanks.â
Maude smiled knowingly.
Even if I donât like it, I donât hate you.
He thought to himself.
Sonny snorted: âI donât care what you plan to do later, but you have to return the âNotesâ to me tomorrow night.â
âHuh? Do you want to pay it back?â
âNonsense, thatâs something I worked so hard to write down!â
âIsnât it okay?â
âNo, and you can extract it yourself.â
âThatâs true.â
Maude chuckled.
Thatâs the end of the story, Sonny didnât say more, and went to the second floor first.
She gave [Notes] to Maude, in order to keep Maude away from the dangerous guys, so as not to be killed inexplicably.
âSonny.â
Maude suddenly stopped her.
Sonny stopped and looked back at Maude quietly.
âWhat kind of devil fruit do you want? I will give you a whole one later?â
ââŚâ
Seeing Sonny not speaking, Maude broke his fingers and smiled:
âLogia type is not necessary. The difficulty of obtaining it is too high. Zoan type is not bad, and it is resistant to beating, but the lower limit is too low and the types are mixed. Unless it is an Ancient species, donât consider it.â
âAfter thinking about it, Iâd better choose Paramecia, but there are many types of Paramecia, and there are several general directions, such as super human, creation, dominance, and so on.â
âSo it depends on which aspect of your needs are higher, and I remember there is a Paramecia devil fruit called the Slippery fruit. I think that one is quite suitable for you.â
Listening to Maudeâs sudden chatter, Sonny said with a blank expression: âYou know devil fruits quite well.â
âÎŁ(ďžĐ´ďž)â
Maude explained quickly: âI have read relevant information in a book.â
âOh.â
Sonny thought about it, then suddenly turned back to the counter.
Maude was puzzled upon seeing this: âWhat are you doing?â
âRecord.â
Sonny took out the pen and paper, and wrote down the analysis of the devil fruit that Maude had just mentioned.
Maude was speechless.
Isnât it more important to choose the direction first than to write notes?
He silently looked at Sonny, who was lying on the counter taking notes, and couldnât help feeling a little bit emotional.
He was shrewd when he looked at it, but sometimes it gave him a pretty dull feeling.
Devil fruitâŚ
In her mind, Sonnyâs expression when she saw the auction brochure slowly emerged.
âAlthough I canât do it now, I will definitely get you a devil fruit in the future.â
