Before the journey of One Piece

'It's so hard to pronounce Gina's real name. ' Hawkins murmured in his mind and returned his attention to Qinglin.After waiting for a while, I saw that the surprise on her face did not diminish at all, and even became duller.Hawkins silently took out the newspaper in her hand and waved his hand in front of her eyes: "Recover."

Qinglin came back to her senses with a slightly embarrassed look on her face: "I'm sorry I was shocked..."

Seeing that Hawkins didn't care about this derogatory name, Qinglin could only rub her nose and said, "As for the name... I can't rule out that it's just the same sound, right?"

"The divination shows that the probability of it being you is 95%." Hawkins said expressionlessly, shattering her luck.

"But I really don't know him? I don't even feel familiar." Qing Lin looked embarrassed. "How should I put it...Since he said that, he should be someone familiar to me, but I really have no impression at all..."

"By the way, he didn't do anything to you, captain, right?" Qinglin realized this and looked at Hawkins nervously.

"No, after he knew that I didn't know you, he thought he had made a mistake, and then..." Hawkins recalled the scene when he first met Yuan Li Pei. "He tripped over a branch, hit his head directly on the tree and passed out."

"...What the hell?" Qinglin was confused again. Is this development different from what she thought?Shouldn't that guy continue to provoke and then escalate into a fight, or the other party knows that you don't know me, understands something, sneers and leaves, or something like that?

"When Otis and I were considering whether to go forward to check, he suddenly disappeared under our noses. No matter how we looked for him, he was nowhere to be seen. I speculated that this should be caused by some kind of ability, and the divination results also showed so."

"I just don't know what kind of ability it is, whether it is his own ability or the ability of his accomplices."

'It feels like an ability like space transfer...but time suspension is not impossible...' As a person from the 21st century communication era, Qinglin immediately thought of several abilities.

"This thing came to mind when I was thinking about the reason why you suddenly appeared in front of me, but the divination showed that your appearance had nothing to do with them." Hawkins sighed softly. He thought he had found a clue at the time.

"Hmm... I also think it has nothing to do with them." Qinglin thought about the system in her mind, nodded in agreement, and looked at the newspaper.

"Huh? It doesn't seem right?" Qing Lin stared at the handsome man in the photo, feeling that something was missing.

"Captain, this man doesn't seem to have chains on him, does he?" Qinglin looked at the blond man next to her in confusion.

"I've thought about this question too." Hawkins expected that she would ask.

"According to the information I collected, Yuan Li Pei once had a male assistant named 'Yuan Tang', but he last appeared half a year ago, and now he has a new assistant."

"The divination shows that the probability of having a chain between them is 90%, and the probability of having a chain with the current assistant is 0%."

'The captain's divination is simply cheating! 'Qinglin complained in her heart.

"If there has ever been one, that's not..." Qinglin only thought of one possibility after asking Fu Liuli about the conditions for lifting the chain, and Hawkins was noncommittal about it.

"Dong dong dong." There was a sound at the door, as if someone was knocking on the door.

"Huh? Who is it?" Qinglin turned to look at the door, while Hawkins narrowed his eyes.

'How does it feel...a bit like the sound of wood hitting? ' He thought strangely that after a few seconds, there was no sound coming from outside the door and no one answered.

"Is there no one?" Qinglin was confused.

"Go behind the sofa." Hawkins told her, and when the black-haired girl looked confused, he pulled out the long sword placed next to the sofa.

'Eh? !Is it an enemy? ! Qing Lin was shocked and quickly stood up and squatted behind the single sofa.

Hawkins slowly approached the door leading to the corridor from the captain's cabin, put his free hand on the doorknob, and quickly opened it.The scene behind the door was empty, except for a wooden box placed on the deck.After confirming that there was no one else around, he lowered his head and observed that there was a piece of paper taped to the box, with four words written on it that were very similar to some characters in the second language.

After looking at it for a moment, Hawkins found that the last two words were the same as Qinglin's signature.Take out the tarot cards and use straw to draw them.After confirming that it was safe, he relaxed his frown, picked up the wooden box and closed the door.

In the distance, Fu Liuli patted the shoulder of the green-haired girl next to him. The two looked deeply at the Hawkins Pirates' ship and disappeared together into the dark alley.

"It's okay." Hawkins returned with the box. Qinglin heard the sound and poked her head from behind the sofa. She stood up and looked at the extra dark red wooden box in Hawkins' hand.

"What is this?!" Qinglin stared at the piece of paper in surprise. The four handwritten Chinese characters "For Xiao Qinglin" lay clearly on the white paper.

'Fu Liuli?Doesn't this tone sound like it? 'Taking the wooden box, Qinglin could immediately feel its weight.

"A bit heavy..." Opening the box, there was only a pair of silver-gray gloves inside.

"Gloves?" Hawkins stopped Qinglin from reaching out and looked inside the box suspiciously, but found no mechanism.He used tarot cards again to make sure it was safe, and then nodded to Qinglin.

"Huh? It turns out the gloves are heavy." Qing Lin took out the gloves and immediately felt that the wooden box was much lighter.

"It looks like just an ordinary glove, but the weight is strange." Hawkins took a glove and weighed it.

'The luster... feels like metal...' Hawkins examined it for a while and returned the gloves. "It should be about the materials used. You can ask Lister."

"it is good."

"..." Hawkins stared at the black-haired girl who lowered her head to play with her gloves and pondered for a moment.

"Go back and rest. We will set off early tomorrow morning." Hawkins said, turning around and putting the sword back into its scabbard on the shelf next to the bed.

"Okay." Qinglin hugged her things and walked out slowly.

"Wait a minute!" Gina suddenly turned around. "Here, do you still want the photo Riester took?!"

"What? You want it?" Hawkins, who was clearing the table, raised his eyebrows, and Qinglin nodded seriously.

However, he didn't reply immediately, he just stared at her quietly.It wasn't until Qinglin felt his face getting hot that he took out his photo.

'Finally got the photo! Qinglin got the photo, left the captain's room, and skipped towards the dormitory.

"That's why I said I wanted to try it." The system said in a matter-of-fact tone. It encouraged the host for a long time.

'Hey hey hey, thank you system! '

"You're welcome!"

When Hawkins saw her leaving, he sat behind his desk, opened the drawer, took out a thin notebook, and opened it.

He picked up his quill and wrote under the latest line:

“Gina is starting to waver and it’s still to be determined if it will work.

Confirmed and unimpressed by Jerma, Gina may have nothing to do with Jerma.

It is confirmed that he has no impression of Yuan Li Pei, and he may know Yuan Li Pei's assistant Yuan Tang.

The person who gave the gloves may have been Alice.

Gina————”

Hawkins paused, and the ink stained the paper with black spots.

The quill moved again.

"Gina might be interested in me."

After placing the quill and the straw coming out with a rustling sound, Hawkins took out the tarot cards and began to divine things...
