Chapter 29

After landing on the north coast this morning, Maud told Lafayette and the others to leave directly.

From here to Mengmeng Island, according to Lafayette's estimate, it will take twenty days to go back and forth.

That is to say, before Lafayette and the others come back, Maud will stay in Xilob Village for at least twenty days.

What can I do during this time?

In addition to harvesting the experience of Captain Crow, that is, trying to teach Usopp something.

In this way, even if Usopp will still go to sea in the future, he can suffer less.

Although this kind of thing is not enough to repay the gift of the gun and the life-saving grace of Jesus Bu, it can be regarded as a favor for Jesus Bu.

If possible, Maud also wants to do more things for Usopp, and it is his consistent principle to repay any kindness.

However, judging from Usopp's current situation, it is obviously impossible to learn to see, hear, and feel in about twenty days.

But Usopp has the aptitude in this regard. As long as a seed called the knowledge and color is planted, the awakening will be a matter of time.

Maud sat on a tree stump, with a fire of dead wood in front of him, and a fat and oily rabbit on it.

Usopp was sitting cross-legged on the ground beside him, looking excited.

Not because of the excitement of roasting rabbits, but because Maud is going to teach him a magical technique called sensibility.

"Maud, do I really have this talent?"

"Of course, you are Jesus Bu's son, so be confident."

"Uh, I see."

Usopp smiled and turned to ask more about Jesus cloth.

Maud answered Usopp's question while turning the rabbit on a stick.

To be honest, Maud felt that Jesus Bu was really unreliable as a father, and it was because his wife and son not only did not hate him, but were proud of him.

It can only be said that each person's xinxing is different and will make different choices and reactions in the same situation.

In such a question and answer, the rabbit was slowly roasted by firewood.

"Eat."

Maud hands the whole roasted rabbit to Usopp.

He ate it on the boat before he landed, and this rabbit was roasted for Usopp.

"Then I'm welcome!"

Usopp took the roasted rabbit, not afraid of being scalded, he tore off a rabbit leg and ate it.

"Well, it's delicious."

Usopp was full of praise as he ate.

Maud smiled and didn't take it seriously.

The roasted rabbit has no seasoning, and the heat is not in place, how can it be delicious?

Maud did not watch Usopp eat, but thought about how to help Usopp become stronger during this time.

Before that, though, he had to deal with Captain Crowe.

After a while, a whole roasted rabbit was eaten by Usopp.

Putting down the skeleton, Usopp looked at Maud who was thinking.

When Maud heard the sound, he didn't think about the training plan for the time being. Instead, he glanced at the clean skeleton on the ground and asked with a smile, "Are you full?"

"Well, I'm full."

Usopp nodded heavily.

It has been a long time since he felt this kind of feeling of being cared for.

"That's good. If you're training, let's start tomorrow morning."

"Ah, do you have to wait until tomorrow?"

Usopp couldn't wait.

Maud nodded, and he planned to deal with Captain Crow before tonight.

Coincidentally, Usopp also suddenly thought of the bounty order that was very similar to Krabatel just now.

"Maud, the person on the reward just now is very similar to a person in the village named Krabatel."

"Not like, but the same person."

"what!?"

Usopp was shocked, he was just suspicious, but he didn't expect it to be the same person.

Maud looked at Usopp who couldn't believe it, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will get rid of him within today."

............

Near the outskirts of Xirob Village, stands a mansion that is out of tune with the village.

In the corridor, a man with a kind face and a sheep's head came to the door of a room.

"Dong dong."

The sheep-headed man raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.

A few seconds later, a gentle man with an oil-backed hair and glasses opened the door.

He looked at the sheep-headed man and said with a smile, "It's Merry, I'm going to find you, will I go to the neighboring town later?"

"Krabatel." Merry also showed a smile and said gently: "There is no rush to go to the neighboring town, but there is a young man who claims to be a black cat outside looking for you, saying that he is your old friend."

"Oh?"

Chloe, who goes by the pseudonym Crabattle, frowned slightly, and habitually pushed the frame up with the palm of his hand.

Black cat?

That was the name of the pirate group before he went into incognito.

Looking at Chloe's reaction, Merry was slightly surprised and asked, "Do you know that young man outside?"

"I know, I borrowed something from him before. He should have come to me for this. I'm so sorry to cause you trouble. I'll return it to him."

Crow smiled apologetically at Merry, then went back to the room and took out a black handbag.

The tote bag contained his exclusive weapon - the ten-blade cat's claw.

As for the so-called black cat young man, he had never heard of it at all, but just by the name of the black cat, he knew that the other party was likely to be a bad person.

In order to be able to wear ten-bladed cat's claws without Merry doubting, he almost didn't need to think about it and found a reasonable and unobtrusive reason in an instant.

From this, you can also see Chloe's quick wit.

When Merry saw the bag in Clottey's hand, he would never have thought that it contained a murder weapon that could easily kill someone, and only thought that the young man outside really came to Clottey to get something back.

"I'm going to send him away."

Crow took the handbag, smiled apologetically at Merry again, and immediately walked over to the gate of the house.

While turning his back to Merry, Kronaswen's genial face showed cold killing intent, but he retracted it in an instant.

In order to avoid bumping into the master and the others, Cloe deliberately took the path of the back kitchen, and after coming to the courtyard, he went around a small circle for half a circle, and then came to the iron gate of the fence.

Outside the fence and the iron gate, stood a black-haired teenager with a height of nearly two meters, wearing a loose black coat, and his angular eyebrows contained a hint of obvious sharpness.

Chloe's eyes darted across the boy's waist.

Even with the coat covering it, the experienced man could see the presence of the flintlock gun, not to mention the long knife with more prominent marks.

"You are looking for me?"

Across the iron gate, Crow calmly looked at the boy outside.

This young man is naturally Maud.

"It's been a long time, Crabattle."

Maud looked at Crow calmly. This name was obtained from Usopp. Otherwise, how could he call Crow by name.

"Oh, no, you should be called Trick Clow, well, more accurately, you should be called Captain Clow."

"..."

Hearing Maud's words, blue veins suddenly appeared on Crow's forehead.

The plan revealed...

Is it because of the rubbish?

Crowe instantly thought of the members of the Black Cat Pirates.

Only they knew about the plan to steal the mansion and property incognito, and according to the original plan, they would not come to Xi Luobu Village until two years later, and they could not reveal the slightest rumor during the period.

"I stopped using this name a year ago."

Realizing that the plan was exposed, several bloodshots appeared in Crow's eyes.

Maud smiled and said, "Is this kind of thing... important?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Crow put on the cat's claw gloves in the cloth bag at a very fast speed.

The ten blades embedded in the fingertips slashed towards Maud outside the iron gate with cold killing intent.
