Although Manammu Island is a small island, its area is still considerable, and the terrain structure is quite interesting. It is a type of low front and high back.
The lower part is the beach where Maud and others landed, and it is also the only place on the entire island that can be easily landed.
Going inland from the beach, you will pass through a forest, after which the terrain will gradually rise.
In the past, it is the high terrain of the entire Manammu Island.
There, is a valley surrounded by semi-ringed rock mountains.
In the words of Maud, it is a giant ancient Roman arena built on a hillside with a big gap.
This valley is called the Ring Valley by the islanders, and it is also where they live.
The valley is surrounded by mountains on many sides, but it breeds vigorous grasslands.
Because of the abundant natural forage, the residents of Manammu Island have raised many sheep in the valley to meet their daily needs.
For the islanders, sheep are an important source of living materials, and therefore, the clothes they wear are generally embroidered with cute sheep heads.
There are only 100 households on Manammu Island, but the number of buildings in the valley is very large, not to mention 100 households, even thousands of households can be easily accommodated.
These buildings have a bit of Greek style, whether they are beams, columns, horizontal bricks, or craft reliefs, they are all neat and tidy.
Moreover, Maud noticed several dilapidated and collapsed buildings, which were said to be residential buildings, but they were actually more like ruins.
The existence of these ruins has invisibly added a sense of mystery to the entire ring valley.
Maud is a newcomer, and even if he has a relationship with Gaban, he will not run around casually on weekdays, let alone strolling in those ruins.
âThis place is really good for retirement.â
Manammu Island is indisputable and remote, and even the newspaper gulls come once a week.
Maud stayed here for a while, and as Saul said, it is a very suitable place to retire.
But Maud still prefers a chaotic place like Mad Hatter Town, full of vicious prey, no, pirates.
By contrast, this place on Manammu IslandâŚ
Maud was disappointed at first, and then, under the urging of Saul, he had to perform a high-load physical exercise every day.
Gradually, he stopped thinking about some unrealistic things, but calmed down and exercised, and strived to learn the moon walk as soon as possible.
However, if the physique is not up to the standard, it is a very difficult thing to learn Moon Walk.
Without the shortcuts brought by the Hunterâs Notes, even if Maud can complete the training tasks given by Saul every day, the improvement in physique is very limited.
You know, not to mention Sabo, who has been rigorously trained by the Revolutionary army since he was a child, take Luffy and Zoro as examples, their physical strengths are all honed from childhood.
Unless it is a natural monster, otherwise, if there is no time to settle, how can you have a strong body?
If you donât have strong physical fitness, even if you understand the principles of many moves, you can only put them in your head as a theory.
The problem that Maud is facing now is that he canât play the effect of the hunterâs notes, and he can only slowly use time on the island to hone his physical strength.
Compared with this, the experience and skills taught by Saul are more valuable.
On this day, the sky is as blue as the sea.
On the grasslands, sheep are in groups of three and two. It looks very abnormal, and they run around like active children.
Maud was doing push-ups on the grass with a boulder on his back.
The process of body forging has always been monotonous and boring. No matter what method is adopted, it comes and goes like that.
The most important thing is not the method, but the persistence.
Saul and Gaban were sitting on round stones more than ten meters away.
The two of them each held a pipe, facing the breeze blowing, smoking leisurely.
The same is true of sheep herding, looking for a place, one sitting is most of the time.
So for Gaban, sitting here and watching Maud train his body is actually no different from watching over the sheep.
âAre you going to retire here?â
Gaban shook his pipe, tilted his head and glanced at the relaxed Saul, and then looked away.
âWhy, Iâm not welcome?â
Saul looked at Gabanâs bare forehead.
He was obviously the guy with the most hair in the pirate group at the beginning, but now he has a bald head. Most of the people canât help but lose their hair when they get old, right?
And those little sunglasses, I really plan to wear them for the rest of my life.
Saul was full of malicious speculation in his heart.
Gaban once again glanced at Saul, who was very mentally active, and said meaningfully: âWelcome is welcome, but donât think about being able to eat free food all the time.â
âAh, thanks to our long-term friendship, I didnât expect you to care about such a thing?â
âCan friendship be eaten as a meal?â
Gaban nodded indifferently.
Hearing this, Saul immediately looked up at the blue sky and changed the subject: âIâm hungry, why hasnât Sonny come yet?â
âYou old guyâŚâ
Gaban shook his head.
There was silence on the stone for a few minutes.
Saul looked at Maud not far away, and suddenly said: âGaban, I brought them to Manammu Island specifically, not just for old age, you should be able to guess this.â
Gaban took down his pipe and said lightly, âYou have always been so thick-skinned, so this time itâs better. It took so long to put it up.â
Saul smiled and said, âI wonât let you do white work either. If you have any requirements, feel free to ask. As long as I can do it, there will be absolutely nothing.â
ââŚâ
Gaban was silent for a moment, then exclaimed, âI would never have dreamed that you old miser would work so hard on other people.â
Having said that, Gaban glanced at Saulâs empty left leg.
Regarding Mad Hatter Island and Maud, Gaban listened to Saul all night on the night they met.
Saul waved his hand and said, âYou wonât understand.â
âHey.â
Gaban raised his eyebrows and said seriously: âI really donât understand, I donât understand why you donât let this little guy learn swords, I think this little guy is a piece of swords, and he can learn two axes with me no matter how bad it is. Wouldnât it be better to learn a gun?â
Listening to Gabanâs rude words, Saul had a few blue veins on his forehead.
If it wasnât for Gaban, heâd be pissed.
Endure it!
Saulâs lips trembled a few times, but he could only stuff the cigarette holder into his mouth and take a few puffs to calm down.
Looking at Saulâs reaction, a smile flashed in Gabanâs eyes behind his sunglasses.
Times have changed, but many memories still seem like things that happened a few years ago.
Back then, Saul didnât know if his head was caught in the door, or if he saw Roger Rayleigh and the others slashing over the enemy with swords, he suddenly said he wanted to learn swords.
In order to learn swords, he began to pester Roger Rayleigh and the others.
In the end, it was Rogerâs few words that beat Saul to the bottom of his skin, and this matter came to an end.
At that time, Saul, who was so lost, even went on a hunger strike for half a month.
Now think about it, if Saul is determined to learn the sword, how can there be such a reassuring backup sniper on board?
Gaban brought a smile to the corner of his mouth, picked up his pipe and took a sip, suddenly aware of it, and turned his head to look back.
âcoming.â
âOh, lunch is finally here.â
Saul also looked back, and saw Jaya walking over with a cauldron in one hand.
Gaban pointed out, âI already told Jaya this morning.â
âwhat?â
âThat pot is not an ordinary lunch, but the âfood supplementâ you asked for for this kid.â
