Chapter 169 Master (5000 words in one)
"Huh, so tired, I can't do it..."
"There are forty minutes left."
"What!! Will it take that long!!!"
"If you have the strength to talk such nonsense, it's better to improve your concentration."
"I really can't..."
"Usopp, you are too easily discouraged. If you only have this level, then stop here."
"I, I know!"
..........
Twenty-five days later.
In the forest adjacent to the west coast, Maude sat on a rock and calmly looked at Usopp, who was undergoing physical training.
During this time, Maude stayed in the forest to teach Usopp.
During this period, Usopp invited Maude to live at home many times, but Maude refused.
And Usopp didn't give up either. At the beginning, he mentioned it at least five times a day.
After the frequency was over, Maude couldn't stand it, so he told Usopp the reason.
After he dealt with Captain Crowe, the reason why he didn't go to the village to show his head was only because one thing is worse than something less.
After all, we still have to stay here for at least 20 days. If the navy is attracted, not only will it be impossible to teach Usopp, but Usopp may even be involved.
Under this premise, he didn't plan to leave the forest, let alone live in Usopp's house.
After learning the reason, Usopp gave up the idea of ​​inviting Maude to live in his house.
Under Maud’s gradual urging, Usopp was also struggling. From the beginning, it didn’t work. It’s a weak chicken, but now he can barely withstand the high-intensity training. .
After that, even if he leaves, as long as Usopp can persist every day, he will surely be transformed in a few years.
As for the existence and principle of seeing, hearing and color, he has also instilled in Usopp's head.
Although he can't learn it in a short period of time, Usopp has the aptitude in this area, and it's a matter of time for germination.
"It's so slow, Lafayette..."
Maude looked back at the direction of the coastline.
The initial estimated time was twenty days, and today is the twenty-fifth day, but Lafayette and the others have not come.
"It shouldn't happen."
Maude thought in his heart.
Several hours passed.
As the setting sun went west, the orange twilight began to collect from the edge of the forest towards the coastline.
Usopp, who had finished his daily training, languished on the ground with weakness.
While Usopp was resting, Maude practiced silent steps instead.
During the day, he would always urge Usopp to train, and in the evening, it was time for him to practice silent steps.
After twenty-five days, he could barely touch the threshold.
If you can cross the threshold for this kind of footwork that is biased towards skill, then it will take time to slowly polish your proficiency.
Until the proficiency reaches the target, it is best not to use it in actual combat.
Maude touched the ground with his toes, then lifted his feet and fell, shaking out an afterimage.
The action seemed to step down lightly, but it contained not weak strength.
With a slight sound, Maude's figure disappeared in vain, and then, the dust on the ground shook out circles like ripples.
In this way, ripples of sand and dust swayed everywhere on the ground.
Usopp tilted his head to watch this scene as if he was watching a fairy.
He memorized the principles of silent steps, but didn't know when he would learn them.
Boom!
Maude, who was practicing silent steps, broke a tree, revealing his figure.
This is the result of inadequate control.
"It's still far away."
Maude looked at the tree falling to the ground.
The experience accumulated in the hard training of the moon step technique on the island of Mon Meng has given him a lot of help, but even so, it is not easy to master the silent step.
Regarding skills, Maude is not in a hurry.
This kind of thing can be accumulated slowly.
"It's time to prepare dinner."
Maude walked into the depths of the forest, and soon returned with a dozen river fish.
Set up a bonfire with ease, and set the river fish to the side to finish.
At this moment, Usopp also slowed over, coveting the river fish.
He was extremely hungry.
Twenty minutes passed.
Modhu looked up.
Usopp looked at Maud like a conditioned reflex, and asked subconsciously, "Can you eat it?"
"At last it's here."
Maude did not answer Usopp's question, but looked back in the direction of the coastline.
"what?"
Usopp was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, so he could only look in the direction of the coastline with Maude.
After a few seconds, he heard footsteps.
someone is coming……
And there is more than one.
The sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer, and several figures emerged from the dim light.
"Wow."
Long-lost laughter sounded in the forest.
"who is it?"
Before he could see the face of the visitor clearly, Usopp's expression changed slightly.
Inexplicably, he felt a pressure.
"Don't be nervous, they are my companions."
Maude glanced at Usopp who was overreacting with a smile.
On the premise that Lafayette and others did not radiate hostility, they could still have such a keen sense, indicating that the seeds of seeing and hearing have been deeply buried in Usopp's potential.
Hearing Maude's words, Usopp breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately looked at the few people who were gradually showing their faces.
What a strong guy!
Usopp looked at Jim, who was muscular and dull.
That person is so tall, and... his face is so pale?
Isn't it a thick layer of foundation?
Uh, this guy is the most dangerous person!
Usopp turned to look at Lafayette a few times, not wanting the latter to throw a look at it, causing Usopp's heart to jump, and quickly staggered his eyes.
Then he looked at the last figure.
What a beautiful sister!
When he saw Jaya, Usopp had a glimmer in his eyes.
These people are Maud's companions.
Usopp thought silently.
He paid attention to Jaya, but he didn't notice that there was an extra white figure beside him.
Bailey came next to Usopp and unceremoniously picked up a grilled fish skewered by wooden sticks. He was not afraid of being hot, and opened his mouth to bite a big piece.
"Ah, it's terrible."
Bailey tilted his head and spit out the fish, then inserted the grilled fish that had taken a big bite back in.
Usopp only noticed the existence of Bailey at this time, and was immediately taken aback.
"Talking civet cat!"
"You're a civet cat, look clearly, I'm a ferret with noble blood, if it wasn't for you to be the son of Jesus, believe it or not that my punch will make you sleep until the day after tomorrow?"
Bailey jumped into a rage and waved his pocket fist at Usopp.
Since the addition of a bottom-ranked Jim on the ship, it has allowed Bailey to raise swelling capital.
When Usopp heard his father's name, he knew that this ferret, who looked like a civet cat, must be uncomfortable, so he immediately obeyed and lowered his head, not daring to say more.
Maude first nodded at Lafayette and Jim, then looked at Jaya who was squinting and smiling.
"Sister Ya, you came just right, these grilled fish will be handed over to you."
"it is good."
Jia Ya nodded, came to Maude, and sat down naturally.
She glanced at the more than a dozen grilled fish that had no technical content in their positions, and began to make adjustments.
When she saw the grilled fish that Bailey had bitten, she paused. She picked up the grilled fish and threw it to Bailey.
"Eat it."
Jaya smiled and looked at Bailey.
Feeling Jia Ya's squinting, Bailey swallowed the fish without a word.
After watching Bailey eat the grilled fish, Jia Ya nodded in satisfaction, and then took out the seasoning jar from the pocket of her underwear.
Maude watched this scene with a smile on his face.
He neither asked why Jia Ya joined, nor did he specifically say something to welcome Jia Ya to join.
It seems that this is just something that seems to be as common as eating and drinking.
The addition of Jaya, for the team, is undoubtedly a good thing that has more advantages than disadvantages.
The individual combat power that Jabba inherited from Jabba is one point, and so is the food tonic that can bring long-term benefits to the team at that moment.
Jim and Lafayette also sat down one after another.
However, these dozen river fish were obviously not enough for everyone to eat, so Jim got up after sitting for a while and went back to the mast boat to bring some ingredients.
Jaya prepares dinner.
Maude chatted with Lafayette, and also talked about Sonny leaving with Sabokrla.
"Sanny is also out to sea."
Maude thought about the little money fan and couldn't help laughing.
After both parties settle down, a stable communication channel will be established as soon as possible.
In this regard, it is possible to find a way to obtain technical support from the Revolutionary Army.
Maude thought about it in the depths, then gave up thinking in a few seconds.
It's useless to think about things so far away now.
Lafayette played with a cane and asked, "When will we set sail?"
"Leave tomorrow. Before that, let Jim and Jaya go to the town to purchase supplies. As long as the sailing supplies are sufficient, there is no need to stop to replenish supplies in the middle of the journey, and they can go directly to the mountain at the fastest speed."
Maude said without hesitation.
It has been delayed long enough in the East China Sea, and the timeliness of the World Conference has passed. At this time, it is more dangerous to stay in the East China Sea.
"If you carry too much material, it will affect the speed of navigation."
Lafayette put the crutches on his legs and gave advice.
"I checked the chart. There is a town called Rogge near the entrance of the Great Channel, where you can replenish supplies, so if you start from here, there is no need to bring too many supplies."
"Don't go there."
Maude shook his head.
Lafayette looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Maude calmly said: "Logue Town is located near the entrance of the Great Channel. Almost all the pirate groups who want to go to the Great Channel have to go to Rogue Town for supplies. Then, is there a place more suitable for ambushing than Rogue Town? ?"
"We have been delayed for too long in the East China Sea without the cover of the'World Conference.' Once the pressure on the navy headquarters is relieved, it is possible to set up an ambush in Rogge Town to wait for us."
"In addition, our number is small, and the material pressure on long-term voyages will be relatively small. If we go directly to the mountain in this way, the problem will not be big."
Listening to the hidden dangers raised by Maude, Lafayette thought carefully.
There is indeed such a possibility.
They destroyed the Nandecanet royal family who was going to participate in the World Conference and the two main warships responsible for the mission.
With such a bad incident, coupled with the end of the World Conference, it is not surprising that the Navy Headquarters has taken action.
Taking into account the potential risks, Lafayette was inclined to Maude's decision and nodded without proposing to the contrary.
but……
Lafayette looked at Jim, who was silent, and Bailey, who was drooling.
Maude noticed Lafayette's actions, and immediately thought of this question.
At exactly this time, Lafayette retracted his gaze and turned to look at Maude.
The two eyes intertwined in the air.
Needless to say, each other considered the issue of appetite.
"Let them bear it for a while."
Maude shook his head slightly.
"It can only be this way."
Raphael features the head.
There was originally a horrible Bailey on the ship, but now there is another Jim. Although their number is small, they need to consume more food every day.
"What are you talking about?"
Bailey leaned over and looked at the two curiously.
Maude and Lafayette couldn't help looking at Bailey, and they were silent together quite tacitly.
"???"
Bailey suddenly raised a question mark, only to think that the eyes of these two guys were weird.
After half an hour.
Jia Ya made a rich dinner.
Maude took a few bites, feeling the multi-layered deliciousness of dancing on the tip of his tongue, and compared the salt-free food he had eaten during this time.
"It is really a blessing to have a great chef by my side."
He sighed from the bottom of his heart.
If you want to sail on the sea for a long time, a good chef is indispensable.
Delicious food not only relieves the body and mind of the crew, but the balanced nutrition can also keep the crew's physical condition on the horizontal line at all times.
The most important thing is that Jia Ya's food tonic dishes can maximize these two advantages.
The crowd began to gobble up.
Jia Ya smiled and said nothing.
Usopp ate such delicious food for the first time, but he was very disappointed in his heart.
He knew that Maude would not stay here forever, but he did not expect Maude to leave here tomorrow.
The night is getting darker.
The bonfire in the forest is getting more and more prosperous.
One night passed.
Early the next morning, Usopp took Jim Jaya to a neighboring town to purchase supplies.
Near noon, they returned to the coastline with a large amount of sailing supplies.
After buying back the materials, it was time to set sail.
Maude took out the pre-prepared purse from the cabin, jumped off the boat and came to Usopp.
On the ship, Lafayette and the others stood on the side of the ship, looking at Maude and Usopp.
"Take it."
Maude handed Usopp a purse containing ten million Baileys.
"what is this?"
Usopp took the purse and opened it, almost staring out.
He had never seen so much money in his entire life.
Maude patted Usopp on the shoulder.
"Usopp, if you want to become great quickly, you can't just rely on brutal practice. You save the money to buy meat every day. Remember, whether it's training or getting nourishment, you can't stop it every day."
"Maud..."
There were tears in Usopp's eyes.
"And this, you wear it."
Maude took out [Usopp]'s movement.
The drop-shaped movement was strung with a rope by him and turned into a special necklace.
Usopp took over the movement necklace, pursing his lips.
Maude smiled and said: "The flintlock gun that carries this movement is the first old gun of Bu, and the gun he gave to me. To me, this movement has extraordinary meaning, and it is very important to you. So it’s the same."
"Maud, I..."
"Accept it, as it is the amulet your father prepared for you."
Maude smiled and looked at Usopp who was weeping.
"We should go now, you take care of yourself."
"Ok."
Usopp nodded his head, letting tears fall from his face.
Maude patted Usopp on the shoulder again, then turned to go to the mast ship.
Usopp looked at Maude's back in silence.
"Maud!"
"Ok?"
Maude stopped in front of the mast and looked back at Usopp.
Usopp sucked his nose and said nervously, "May I call you master?"
"Haha, of course no problem."
Maude jumped onto the mast boat, and Lafayette, who had already prepared, directly lowered the angled sail.
call!
The sails swelled, and the mast ship sailed away from the shore to the open sea.
"master!"
"Bon Voyage!"
Usopp stood on the shore and shouted with all his strength.
Maude waved his hand to Usopp.
The mast ship goes away.
Usopp wiped the tears from his face and clenched his fists subconsciously.
After he becomes strong enough, he will also go to sea!
.............
The mast boat rides the wind and waves.
Lafayette pays attention to the course, and Jim stands by at the rudder.
Maude sat on a chair to enjoy the sun, while Jia Ya was reading with a book.
"Is Usopp your relative?"
Jia Ya closed the book she had just finished reading, maybe bored, and suddenly asked this question.
Maude took a sip of the iced lemonade and said, "No."
"Oh."
Jaya was a little confused.
Maude glanced at her and explained: "Dad Usopp is kind to me."
Jia Ya nodded.
"By the way, I learned a footwork called silent step during this period. If you are interested, I can teach you."
Maude put down the iced lemonade and walked to the empty deck.
His words caught everyone's attention.
"Look, I'll show you it again."
After speaking, Maude stood on tiptoe, used silent steps in an instant, and his figure suddenly disappeared in place.
Lafayette, Jaya, Jim, and Bailey looked at Maude who disappeared in surprise.
In the next second, the improperly controlled Maude appeared on the sea two meters away from the hull.
Puff through.
Maude fell into the sea.
⊙o⊙)..." x4.
After a short silence.
Jia Ya suddenly got up.
Lafayette rushed towards the ship's side for the first time.
Bailey was unmoved and even stuffed a handful of snacks into his mouth.
Jim was closest to the sea and jumped directly into the sea.
Jim who came by the butterfly stroke shocked Maude's face.
"Jim, I can swim."
Maude wiped the water on his face.
Jim nodded, but still carried Maude on his shoulders, and then swam to the mast ship.
.........
Ten days later.
Rogue Town.
A warship came from a long way and was moored in the dock.
Taotu walked over the splint and came to the dock.
In front of her, a group of navies led by Smogg lined up to greet her.
Smogg looked at Pokemon, who had recently been promoted to lieutenant general, and thought that the headquarters attached great importance to Bacardi Maud.
However, Taotu will come here specifically, and there will be green pheasants to help it.
"Do you think I will lose to Bacardi Maud?"
Smogg thought silently.
The sloppy look of the green pheasant appeared in his mind.
........
at the same time.
Maude and his party had already crossed the Upside Down Mountain.
Make up your homework and read cartoons this afternoon. . So the update is late. . Time is too rush. . I did not review the typos, I posted it first.
