Before the journey of One Piece

"Wow... that island is even more lively than the last time we landed!" Qing Lin lay on the side of the ship, looking at the island in the direction of the bow.It took three days of sailing from departure to here, and finally we arrived.

"Of course, this island has the largest shipbuilding company of the same name in the North Sea, 'Odense'. Countless people come here to order ships every day. Of course it's lively." Suoli smiled and helped Qinglin learn more.

"Oh!" Qinglin exclaimed excitedly. 'Then this island is probably equivalent to the Capital of Seven Waters. '

“After landing in Odense, it’s time to start packing.”

"Pack your things?" Qinglin looked at Suoli doubtfully and found that the other party seemed a little disappointed.

"Well, because one day before you boarded the ship, we ordered a new ship from Odense Company." Solly lowered her head and stared quietly at the sparkling sea.

"Change the ship..." Qing Lin paused, her excitement dissipated due to the other party's disappointment.

"Hey, hey, you two beauties, don't show such expressions." Simon came over after finishing his navigation work. His beard was thicker than before. "Think on the bright side. This ship has been with us for two years and has already been scarred. Let's just regard it as having completed its mission."

"Yeah, that's right." Suoli nodded, her smile still a little dim.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that this ship has been in use for so long?" Qinglin tried to change the subject.

"Yes, this Stroll is the ship that the captain has been using since he went to sea. It can be said that it has the same qualifications as us old crew members." Simon walked to her side and leaned against the side of the ship.

"If you think about it, it's already been two years." Simon looked up at the sky where gray clouds were floating.

"Yes." Suoli held her head and looked at the sea level in the distance.

'Both of them were caught up in memories! Qinglin kept her mouth shut silently.

"By the way, Gina, you don't seem to know the reason why we changed ships." Simon broke away from the memory and turned around to ask.

"I don't know." Qinglin shook her head. "Isn't it because it took too long to be used?"

"Absolutely..." Simon took out a pack of cigarettes.

"Although it is a second-hand ship, if the ship is properly maintained and it is only in the North Sea, it can survive for another three or four years." Simon patted the side of the ship, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth.

'Is this a second-hand boat? 'Qinglin was surprised by this.

"But we will soon be heading to the [Grand Line]. If we use this ordinary ship, it might fall apart soon." The cigarette was lit with a lighter, and Simon took a deep breath to let the smoke in his lungs. Swirl around, spit out.

"Grand Line?!" Qing Lin opened her eyes wide.

"It seems you also know about the Grand Line." Simon recalled, blowing out a smoke ring. "Yes, our Hawkins Pirates are preparing to enter the Grand Line within this month."

"Within this month?!" Cold sweat broke out on Qinglin's head. "Then, that place is dangerous!"

"Yes, it's super dangerous. It's even called the 'Pirate's Grave'." Suoli suddenly said.

"But I have a reason to go to the Grand Line. Even if I may die, I will go." She raised her head, her aqua blue eyes full of determination, reflecting the sea.

"Soli..." Qinglin stared at her blankly for a while, then looked at Simon.

"I'm just doing my duty. Who made me the navigator of the Hawkins Pirates?" Simon just stroked his beard, his tone revealing helplessness.

"Not bad." Qinglin turned around and Hawkins slowly walked towards her.

"The day I decided to order a new ship, all those who were unwilling to go to the Grand Line got off the ship. Now those who are following me on the ship are those who chose to put life and death aside." Hawkins stood still in front of Qinglin, with enough words. His height of two meters and his expressionless face once again put pressure on the girl.

He bent slightly and looked down at Qing Lin, who was starting to sweat: "The existence of chains deprives me of a certain freedom, and it also deprives you of a certain freedom."

"You have no choice and no room for negotiation, so be aware."
