Before the journey of One Piece

"Has the securing of supplies and goods been confirmed?!"

"You guys, hurry up and help over there!"

The next morning there was a lot of activity on deck.

'I always feel a little uneasy about not going to work even though I am an ordinary crew member. Qinglin thought as she looked at the crew members running back and forth. 'But I can't move around in this state. It feels like I can easily go beyond ten meters. '

She looked at Captain Hawkins and several officers who were doing divination next to her, and slipped to the side of the ship.

'You can also see other ships from this location. Qing Lin supported the side of the ship with both arms. She raised her head slightly and saw the situation on the deck of other ships. The difference from here was that there were not many people on the deck of the ship next to her.

'They must have all gone to play. While Qinglin was guessing, an albatross carrying a bag and a hat fell from the sky.

"News Bird!" Qing Lin suddenly became energetic and hurriedly went to Suo Li to ask for coins.

"Rister is responsible for the newspaper money, because it is considered an intelligence expenditure." Solly took her attention away from the music book and pointed to the treasurer standing next to the captain.So Qinglin changed direction and got the coin from List.

Albatross rummaged in his satchel with his wings and took out a roll of newspaper.

'How did you get this...' Qing Lin put the coin into the wallet around Bird's neck with a confused look on her face, and got today's newspaper.Qinglin walked towards Hawkins and handed him the unfolded newspaper.When I got the newspaper, the first thing I did was to take out the wanted notice inside and check it out.

"Ah, my bounty has gone up." Hawkins easily found his own among them.

"What?!" Qinglin's eyes widened as she looked at the nine-digit number under the photo.

"what?!"

"real?!"

The people nearby gathered around her and pushed her out.

'Hawkins, you crowmouth! ' She looked at the crowd surrounding her, held her forehead in silence, and was about to cry without tears. The flag of "over [-] million at any time" that was just planted last night was realized today!

"One hundred and ten million Baileys!" Solly exclaimed.

"Congratulations to the captain for crossing the [-] million mark!" Greg congratulated happily.

"I think I was promoted because I attacked the royal family." Lister laughed. Qinglin was confused after hearing this.

"Something big happened!!! Captain, his bounty is over [-] million!!" Moses shouted to the deck below from the stairs, and there was an explosion-like cry from below.

"In that case..." Hawkins scrambled the Tarot cards, picked them out one by one and placed them on the straw.

"Okay, let's have a party when we get to the next island with a town!" Hawkins' eyes became serious.

"Oh oh oh oh!!————"

The Stoll of the Hawkins Pirates set sail amid deafening cheers.

Within half a day, Suoli pointed to the thumb-sized island in the distance and said to Qinglin: "That's an uninhabited island!"

"Because it is a small island, there are no residents and few boats dock, so no matter what happens on the island, it is difficult to spread the news."

"Oh, an uninhabited island is indeed a good place for experiments!" Qing Lin's eyes glowed and she nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of which..." Qinglin turned her head and glanced at Hawkins not far away, and looked at Sully with expectant eyes. "Can you tell me about the attack on the royal family?"

"Yes!" Suoli readily agreed. She put her hands on the side of the ship and thought for a moment before saying: "Actually, I only know that after replenishing supplies that day, the captain made a divination and asked us to wait on the ship. Lister left and when they came back, their clothes were stained with blood."

"After the Stroll left the island, a fire broke out in the town. Lister told us that they attacked a royal family who secretly supported the cult. Then the pirate group went to avoid the limelight for a while before coming out to do activities."

"As for the situation at the scene, I don't know very well, but it must be very confusing. If Gina-chan is curious, she can only ask the captain or Lister."

"Hmm... no, I think I already know enough." Qinglin waved her hands, a little helpless. She didn't dare to ask them this.

"But wouldn't this be targeted by the navy?" Qing Lin just finished speaking and felt that it was no different from now.

"No, because that royal family's dealings with the cult were exposed, and his supporters were basically killed by the captain, and have been exiled by other royal families." Solly replied with a smile.

"Is that so..." Qinglin suddenly felt that the royal family might have been slaughtered by Hawkins.

'They are a royal family that supports a cult...' Qinglin thought of Hawkins' past. 'It seems that after being abducted by a cult, he began to hate the cult. '

Thinking of this, she turned to look at the crew members on the deck who looked like cultists wearing black cloaks and skull necklaces.

'Then is this style of dressing used to overcome psychological shadows? Qinglin expressed confusion about this.
