Before the journey of One Piece

The wall made of wooden planks was stained with blood red. The man's body was slumped in the corner, and the smoking gun in his hand made him look like he committed suicide by shooting himself.

"..." Qinglin kept kneeling on one leg, staring blankly at the corpse.

'Did I kill someone? Qinglin felt as if her head was rusty and had difficulty functioning.What she saw before her was not fear, but a feeling of unreality.

"Strange, monster..." Pat looked at the girl with fear in his eyes. His strong desire to escape made him ignore his poisoned body and tried to climb to the other side of the room. Then he was killed by Hawkins who came in.

"Are you okay?" Hawkins inserted his sword, walked to Qinglin, knelt down, and raised her arm.The place where he was stabbed by the dart has healed, and there seems to be no symptoms of poisoning like the one-eyed man.

"To be on the safe side, go back and let Otis check it for you." Hawkins let go of her arm and took out the tarot cards for divination.

"..." Qinglin turned her head and looked at Hawkins in a daze. The blood on his arm made her wake up.

"Captain, are you injured?!" Qinglin stared at his arm in surprise.

"Don't worry, this is not my blood." Hawkins put away the tarot cards and rolled up his sleeves to show his intact arms. "The divination shows that there is someone else in the captain's cabin. Let's go and take a look."

"Okay." Qinglin tried her best to ignore the pieces of meat and scarlet on the floor, and stood up with Hawkins and walked out the door.

They came to the captain's cabin door, and Hawkins drew his sword and kicked open the door.Hawkins noticed the person on the bed at the first sight. He frowned slightly and quickly scanned the entire room. No one else was there.

Qinglin's wide eyes couldn't move away from the bed.

They were a few naked people - a young woman and two immature boys and girls. Their fragile bodies were covered with bruises.

"Stay outside." Hawkins raised his hand to stop Qing Lin, stepped forward, took off his gloves, and pressed his long fingers on the sides of their necks.

"Are you still alive?" The wrinkles on Hawkins' eyebrows deepened, and Qinglin asked outside the door.

"They are all dead. They probably died suddenly from drug overdose." Hawkins guessed, observing their thin bodies, white mouths and the white powder at the corners of their mouths.

"Drugs, drugs?!" 'There are drugs in this world too? ! Qinglin was confused for a moment when she heard this familiar word.

Hawkins put on his gloves, closed their eyes for them, stepped out and closed the door.

"Just leave these people to the Navy. Move the valuable things away first." Hawkins took out the phone bug and informed Riester that they were coming.

"Captain, I regret it." Qing Lin looked at the closed door and said angrily.

"I should have knocked that bear unconscious and broken off his limbs and stuffed him with a sack of drugs! It would be too cheap to drown that bastard!"

"Then do you want to fish it out and do this?"

"Forget it, I can't do it." Qinglin held her forehead, feeling instantly depressed.

"..." Hawkins tilted his head slightly and looked at the dark sea.

"Sorry," he said.

Qinglin looked at him. Hawkins was still expressionless, but it seemed a little different.

"It doesn't matter." Hawkins looked at Qinglin, who smiled bitterly, mixed with helplessness.

"As a pirate, being kind to your enemies is cruel to yourself. I still know this."

Hawkins patted her shoulder: "Let's go find the treasure first."

"it is good!"

……

"The harvest is not bad." Lister patted the box in front of him, and then looked at the guy standing between Hawkins and Qinglin - he was a cat fur tribesman, with messy black hair, and his movements and eyes revealed timid.The traces of hair loss on his wrists and neck, as well as the tattered clothing, were enough to indicate that he had been a slave.

"So what's going on with this guy? Is he an animal-type person?" Greg asked, pointing at the cat man.

"No, he's a fur man," Hawkins explained. "Gina and I found him in the cabin."

"Fur tribe?" Greg scratched his head in confusion. "This is the first time I've heard of it."

"The fur tribe, like the merfolk, is not common in the world. It is said that they live on giant elephants and hate humans very much." Lister said to Greg.

"No, that..." Cat Man suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at him.

"It's true that we live on the backs of elephants, but we don't hate humans! Really!" Cat Man tried to show a sincere expression.

"What he said is true, I divined it," Hawkins added. "And I plan to let him join the pirate group."

"What?!" Gregorist's eyes widened.
