Before the journey of One Piece

"Hey, Lister, Greg." Qinglin came to the captain's room and happened to meet the two cadres who had just come out of it, so she waved and greeted them.

"Ah, good evening." Riester noticed her and just smiled and nodded.When Greg saw her, he remembered the conversation just now, and his expression became a little complicated.

Qinglin, who was thinking "Hawkins is looking for me", didn't notice the change in Greg's expression and stepped into the captain's cabin.As soon as she entered the door, Qinglin saw Captain Hawkins standing in front of the bookshelf.

"What's the matter, Captain?" She closed the door with her backhand.

"Sit down first, and you will understand after reading the newspaper." Hawkins pointed to the sofa, then moved his eyes back to the bookshelf.Qinglin scratched her head, followed his instructions, sat on the couch, and picked up the newspaper.

'this person? ! Qinglin immediately noticed the photo. The light-colored translucent chain connected the chest of the woman in military uniform and extended beyond the scope of the photo.

'Is this person like me?It does look familiar if you look closely... Is it really a good idea to leave the chains exposed like this? 'Qing Lin observed the young woman in her twenties in the photo and complained in her heart.

"How's it going?" Hawkins came over with a document bag and sat on the single sofa next to him.

"Well...it just feels familiar." Qing Lin shrugged and put down the newspaper. "After all, there are people like us in the Navy, right?"

"Yes, look at this again." Hawkins nodded, took out a photo from his jacket pocket and showed it in front of her eyes.

In the photo, Hawkins is sitting behind his desk, with long blond hair scattered on his shoulders, looking straight into the camera with an expressionless face.Dark chains poured out from his heart and twisted in the air.

"What a great shot!" Qinglin praised sincerely.

"I just asked Rist to take a picture of this using 'Take Immediately'," Hawkins said.

"Just now—just now?!" Qinglin reacted and looked at Hawkins in surprise. The chain had not appeared just now!

"Wait, can the camera capture the chains?" Seeing Hawkins nod, Qinglin's eyes instantly died.

"However, Lister and Greg couldn't see the chains in the photo. It seemed that only we could see them," Hawkins added.

"Then ordinary people can't see it!" Qing Lin suddenly became energetic. What should ordinary people be afraid of if they can't see it?

"But the navy like just now can also see it. If she, who knows a lot about this, reports it, we may be noticed by the navy and even the world government."

"No, that's not the case." Qing Lin waved her hands with an expression that was impossible.

"We don't rule out the possibility that the Navy and the World Government already know something about you." Hawkins silently added the blow.

"Uh-huh... As long as I don't get photographed..." Uneasiness spread in Qinglin's heart.

"It's a pity, but you still remember my bounty."

"Ninety-five million Baileys?"

"Yes, that is, I may offer a reward of over [-] million at any time." Hawkins spread his hands, feeling helpless.

"If I offer a bounty of more than [-] million, then there will be a lot of reports and publicity, and reporters may even take photos secretly. And as a pirate with a bounty of more than [-] million, I will definitely be taken seriously by the navy. By then, there may be Hawkins pirates. All crew members in the group will have their background checked and will definitely be photographed.”

"What should we do?" Qinglin became even more uneasy upon hearing this.

"No way." Hawkins shook his head.

Qinglin felt a little scared in her heart. Although she would be noticed by the navy sooner or later after boarding a pirate ship, she still hoped that that day would come later. It would be better to be regarded as an inconspicuous crew member!

"But..." Hawkins changed the topic. "That navy is the headquarters navy. Even if I break [-] million in Beihai, it may not reach the navy headquarters."

"Yeah!" Qinglin was stunned for a second and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"But it's only a matter of time before the navy notices the chain. It's unavoidable." Qing Lin was lifted up in her heart again, and she raised her head to meet Hawkins' gaze.

"So I need to know more about the chains and you to make countermeasures." His eyes were serious.

"If you remember anything, I hope you'll be willing to tell me."

"This is for the safety of us and the pirate group."

"Well..." A trace of hesitation appeared on Qinglin's face and she lowered her head.

'Indeed...Intelligence is super important to people like them...but then the system may be exposed...but Hawkins is qualified to know this...' Qinglin instinctively didn't want Hawkins to know the system, but She didn't want to hide what she knew from Hawkins, and she was torn inside.

"I...I'll tell you when I think of it..." In the end, she was so confused that she could only reply.

"Well, think about it slowly, I'll wait." Hawkins patted her shoulder with a meaningful tone.

'As expected, he is a simple child, and his thoughts are basically reflected on his face. ' Hawkins sighed inwardly, opened the file bag and took out two photos.

"Let's just take our time with the memory thing. Let's take a look at this first."

"Okay." Qing Lin reluctantly cheered up and took a look. They were a flag and a skull, both marked with the words "Jerma Kingdom".

"What's wrong with this kingdom?" she asked doubtfully.

"Don't you feel familiar?" Hawkins asked.

"No." Qinglin replied decisively.

"...It's nothing, I just want to verify my guess." Hawkins was silent for a moment and took back the photo. For some reason, Qinglin felt a little disappointed.Then, Hawkins took out a stack of newspapers from the document bag, flipped through it, and pulled out one.

"Don't break it," he warned.

"Okay." This is a complete newspaper, filled with articles, and carefully affixed with a protective film using transparent tape.After a cursory glance at the section that Hawkins pointed to just now, the content roughly told the story of a princess from the North Sea Kingdom who was cured by a doctor named "Yuan Li Pei".

'They are all people who are not in the original work. Is this a Japanese name or a Chinese name? Qinglin thought and turned to the back.

"Huh?" The moment she saw clearly, Qinglin's eyes widened.There are some illustrations printed on the back of the newspaper. There is a paragraph of text under each picture, and the title is————

"Ocean Warrior Sora"

'Yuan, it turns out that there are comic books in this world? 'Qing Lin felt that her knowledge had been refreshed.

"What's wrong?" Hawkins noticed her surprise.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect newspapers to publish these." Qinglin turned back to the original page.

"That..." After reading it, and staring at the group photo next to the article for a while, Qinglin looked up with a troubled look on her face. "I didn't see anything except that this person cured a princess...and I don't know this person either..."

"Really?" Hawkins raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. "You really don't feel familiar?"

Qing Lin tilted her head, her mind filled with questions: "Why does the captain think I should know him?"

"I met him not long ago. At that time, I followed the divination and went deep into the center of the island with Otis to collect the unique medicinal materials on the island, and then I met this man." Hawkins looked at the newspaper, his eyes slightly empty, and recalled . "He said your name, if I'm not mistaken."

"Gina?" Qinglin asked with a bit of luck as cold sweat broke out on her head.

"No, his original words were: 'This is not anger——" The words were stuck due to lack of proficiency, and Hawkins couldn't help but frown, and after a while he reluctantly continued.

"'Isn't this the Qinglin family's concubine, the Magician? 'In this way, the way of thinking is very similar to the way you called yourself before. "

"Concubine, concubine?!" Qinglin's heart was like thunder.
