Chapter 8 Visitors
Flower Street?
Isn't that the modern day - Red Beep Beep Beep area?
Saul goes to that kind of place for morning exercise?
That kind of body and age ...
Maude felt speechless.
The store was open for business, but the doors were empty.
Sonny didn't ask Maude to do anything, and Maude didn't take the initiative to solicit things.
He leaned at the corner, closed his eyes and continued to comb through the memories about the King of Thieves.
When the memory combing is almost done, it is time to pick up the [daily exercise] that has been abandoned for a long time.
After all, the hunter's notes can not provide substantial assistance in the short term, unless there will be a second watts sent to the door.
Time passed little by little.
Two hours passed, during which there was not a single customer.
Maude looked at Sunny who was sitting inside the counter, reading back and forth with a newspaper.
From the other party's calm reaction, the business is dismal meter is the norm for this weapon store, right.
Moreover, it seems to be a little too quiet.
Maude turned to look at the hidden bilateral wooden door.
As a in the street at any time there will be armed fights kill the lawless area, a few hours down, but can only hear some from the store outside the sound of small footsteps.
Strange, Maude walked toward the door of the store.
See Sonny's side of nothing, Maude reassured pull open the wooden door, and then peeked out most of the body towards the outside to look.
After a few moments, Maude back, silent closed the door.
Mudd, this is not the residential area of the alleyway?
No wonder it was so quiet most of the time.
The weapons store to such a location, do not know, also think your house is selling alcohol.
Maude spit out the fragrance in his heart once.
With the simple intelligence conceived out of the town of mad hats is gradually declining.
He suddenly had an impulse to go outside the streets to see, but quickly extinguished.
Have time to think about that kind of thing, it is better to calculate how to ask a gun from Saul to put on.
Maude turned around and walked towards the corner.
Only a few steps out, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Maude subconsciously looked back, after seeing the visitor, the eyes of astonishment appeared.
In front of the door stood a group of three people, looking like side by side, but in fact, the men on the left and right sides of the man habitually behind half a body position, in order to highlight the identity of the man in the middle.
The man on the left had curly hair with a medium parting, carried a long-barreled smooth-bore flintlock rifle on his back, and had a five-finger wide earth-colored belt slung around his waist, with a cloth bag full of ammunition hanging on the left side of the belt.
The man on the right was obese, but his height was head and shoulders above the other two men.
He had a green bandana tied around his head, wore a pair of small burgundy sunglasses that were extremely incongruous with his face, and held a half-eaten meat in his hand.
The wooden bilateral door was pushed open by the man in the middle.
The man looked at Maude who reacted abnormally and laughed brightly, "Little brother, just didn't touch you, did you?"
Madcap Town, Cape Lookout Street.
This is adjacent to the bar street, is also the location of the black market.
Any unseen transactions can be carried out here openly and honestly.
The largest auction house in Madcap Town is the central point, and various places linked to the black industry are radiating out in all directions.
Arthur served in the [House of Love and Beauty] is also among them.
As an undertaker, he has endless business all day long.
Of course, most of the business is his "ability" to get down.
Today is his rare monthly vacation, in order to enjoy the good time, he had already scheduled a full schedule yesterday.
However, he had a bad feeling when he heard the phone bug ringing after he had eaten and drunk and was about to go to Flower Street to exercise.
Half an hour later, he returned to work.
Working for someone is always out of your hands.
He lamented in his heart while changing into his work clothes.
Uniform, mask, arm bandana with the word [death] painted on it.
These three things are the standard for morticians after joining.
After changing into his work clothes, Arthur waited for the next instruction.
One by one, colleagues hurriedly returned to the [House of Love and Beauty], supposedly all called back temporarily by the boss.
"Why did you guys come back too? It can't be that there's another mess at the 'pig factory', right?"
"Yes, it happened this morning, again because a group of slaves gathered and rioted."
"So how many slaves were killed or injured this time?"
"Not quite sure, said it was worse than last time."
"Ch, I thought I had taken some big order, but it turned out to be another lousy job over there."
A mortician complained.
The lead mortician looked at his colleagues present and calmly said, "We'll leave when we're all together."
Arthur sat in an inconspicuous corner, listening in silence to the content of his colleagues' chat.
It turns out that the [pig factory] side of the chaos again, must have died or injured a lot of slaves.
That is to say, today will have to be busy.
And still work more money work.
Arthur lamented in his heart.
A rare holiday ah ...
"I heard that the auction at the end of the month has a few heavy auction items."
"What auction items?"
"A devil fruit, and the famous sword and fish people slaves."
"Really? Where did you hear the news? You knew about the auction before the booklet was even sold?"
"I swear on my life!"
"Then it's a lie."
"?"
"Oh, I almost forgot that I am a ruthless mortician, personality, that kind of thing, long ago when I joined the job lost, then or I change something to swear?"
At the corner, Arthur's ears twitched, without traces to look at a few colleagues who were whispering not far away.
Devil fruit and the famous sword?
Arthur was a little surprised, but will not easily believe the authenticity of these messages.
Although in this mixed place, thanks to something like alcohol, some gossip may indeed be faster than the regular news, but the devil fruit is an extremely rare thing.
If the auction into the hands, I'm afraid it would have been a big announcement.
"Devil fruit ah ..."
Arthur's eyes showed the color of longing.
With his income level, at the very least to not eat and drink for decades, to have the opportunity to compete.
If the auction at the end of the month really have devil fruit, even if not qualified to bid, can also go to the hustle and bustle.
As for the famous sword, that old guy Saul should be interested.
Bar Street, a certain tavern.
It was noon, but the tavern was full of people.
As one of the big heads of the gold cave, the bar has always been one of the first places for pirates to spend money, it is not surprising that there will be this kind of customer phenomenon.
Kid alone occupies a table, in this slightly crowded tavern, looks a little crane stand out.
Nevertheless, no one went to trouble him.
Because, the dozen of pirates lying on the ground is a warning.
At this time, a man wearing a blue mask into the tavern, looked around, and then went straight to the table where Kiddo was.
To the table where Kid was, the masked man sat down directly.
Kid looked up at the masked man and said, "Here you are."
The masked man nodded and asked, "Did you get the gun?"
"No."
Kidd shook his head.
"Bought by someone?"
"No, it was the owner who wouldn't sell me."
"Didn't sell you? What happened?"
"I don't know."
Kidd drank from the bottle with some annoyance.
The masked man, however, roughly guessed what was going on and said, "Then give me the money, I'll go buy it."
"The money is almost spent."
"..."
The masked man was speechless.
Kidd, however, had a look of indifference.
In his opinion, something like money, a casual robbery will be available.
