Before the journey of One Piece

After taking a short rest, Hawkins and Qinglin walked towards the village.Starting from the Astoria to Pine Tree, the fastest path required passing through the village, so the two planned to walk in the village first before heading to the center of the island.

"Although it's just a village, there are some shops." Qinglin looked around. After entering the village, she saw a grocery store, a blacksmith shop, a tavern and other stores.

"Occasionally there are pirates passing by, maybe for business reasons." Hawkins also looked around, maybe because they didn't show any malice, the residents looked at him with curious eyes.

"I wonder if I will meet Sori... ah." Qinglin saw the unique cloak of the Hawkins Pirates in front of her store at a glance, and a head of short, ear-length hair that was as bright as fire.

"Soli~" Qinglin raised her legs and ran over. Suoli, who was revising her notes, turned around when she heard the sound.

"Gina-chan." When Sori saw Qinglin, she rolled her eyes and naturally found Captain Hawkins.

"Are Gina-chan and the captain going to play somewhere?" Sori's eyes returned to Qinglin in front of her.

"Yeah, we're going to take a look at the pine tree." Qinglin lowered her head and noticed the notepad in Suoli's hand.

"Recording information about shell decoration?"

"Well, I asked the residents. These shell decorations were decorated by a traveler named Rosetta alone a week ago." Solly stroked the lines on the wall and told the information she found. tell them.

"Alone? That's pretty cool!" Qinglin was a little surprised. She thought this was the island's tradition.

"A traveler named Rosetta?" Hawkins was obviously more concerned about the traveler than the wall decorations.

"According to residents' descriptions, Rosetta is a young woman about 20 years old with short purple shoulder-length hair and blue eyes. Compared with her appearance, residents are more impressed by her voice. They basically think her voice is very good. That sounds good." Suoli flipped through the notebook in her hand.

"Purple hair and blue eyes..." Qing Lin thought for a moment and suddenly froze. 'Rosetta with purple hair and blue eyes? !that is not----'

Qinglin instantly felt that she had to go to the pine tree.

"I just happened to find out that she also participated in the pine cone picking activity. Let's go to the pine tree together." Suoli closed the notebook with a smile and stuffed it into her pocket.

"Well, let's go."

The three of them came to the other end of the village. Not far away were rows of plants similar to birch trees, which densely separated the village from the forest.There is a gap in the center that reveals a wide road blocked by a fence.

"Why is this place blocked?" Qinglin put her hands on the fence.

"Would you like to check out the wooden house over there first?" Solly pointed to the small wooden house at the end of the fence. Although it was simple, it was still OK for people to live in.

"Hey! That's not a place where you can just go sightseeing!" Qinglin turned around and saw the young man who had been "secretly" following them running over.

'It's the one who passed by the village entrance in the morning...' Suoli stared at the other person for a while and recognized him.

"Why do you say that?" Hawkins turned sideways and looked at the young man quietly.

"There are many dangerous animals in the forest. You are not allowed to enter without the guidance of villagers." The young man walked not far in front of them and did not come closer.

"So what dangerous animals are there?" Hawkins asked him for this information so that it could be used for divination.

"Uh... wolf or something..." The young man paused and waved his hand impatiently. "Anyway, if you want to enter the forest, you have to ask someone in the village for help."

"Then can you just take us there? By the way, you haven't introduced yourself yet!" Qinglin crossed her arms around her chest.

"...Well, my name is Andrew. I'm from the East China Sea. I just came to this island a few days ago." Seeing Qinglin's unhappy look, the young man had no choice but to scratch his fluffy hair and introduce himself.

'It turned out to be from the East China Sea. 'Hawkins thought of the aboveboard surveillance in the morning and became convinced.

"My name is Gina, and I am from the Flower Country of the North——Western Sea! This is our captain Basil Hawkins, and this is my partner Solly."

'Damn it, if I didn't get a warning from the system, I would have said I was from Beihai!But there should be no problem..." Qing Lin secretly sweated.

"Are you not a local?" Solly looked at Andrew.

"Yeah, I'm just helping the village chief keep an eye on you." Andrew spread his hands and warned them.

"It's no joke that there are dangerous animals in the forest. I wanted to go in yesterday, but before I got deep enough, I was driven out by the wolves inside."

'No wonder only one dangerous animal, the wolf, is listed. ' Hawkins recalled the other person's answer.

'So the warning just now is a lesson from trespassing in the forest? 'Suoli and Qinglin were speechless.

"What do you mean, do the residents here have the means to defend themselves against ferocious beasts?" Hawkins asked Andrew.

"They ward off wild beasts by wearing cloaks soaked in special potion. Every resident has one. If I remember correctly, the ranger next to me should still have some in stock." Andrew pointed to the simple cabin. , Hawkins silently took out the Tarot cards to divine the authenticity of the content.

"In that case, let's go to the house and have a look."

After confirming the true rate, the four of them came to the cabin. Andrew walked to the door first and knocked on the door. No one responded for a while, so he opened it directly.

"Not at home." Andrew walked in directly.

'Eh eh eh?Do you just open the door and go in directly? Qinglin looked at Andrew with a confused face, and Suoli looked at Hawkins. Hawkins thought for a second and took out the tarot cards.

"The divination shows that the inventory is in the cabinet over there." Hawkins pointed to the other side of the wooden house.

"Cabinet?" Qinglin and Andrew, who stuck out their heads, looked confused.

"It really does." Andrew looked at the half-opened iron cabinet on the side of the wooden house in surprise, with several cloaks emitting a strong smell hanging inside.

"Such a strong smell." Qing Lin raised her hand subconsciously. The smell of the potion was not unpleasant, but it was not pleasant either.Hawkins stopped Andrew, who wanted to take it directly, and did some divination.

"No problem." Hawkins took off his cloak and handed it to Qinglin and Suoli.

"I've been meaning to ask for a long time. Do you think it's troublesome for you to do divination every day?" Andrew looked strange. He knew a little about divination, but he didn't believe in it.

"I'm used to it." Hawkins saw that the other party didn't quite believe this, so he put on his cloak and didn't bother to explain.

"Soli, look." Qing Lin deliberately put the green cloak in front of her and turned it around. "skirt!"

"Oh, it does look like it." Solly put on her hood, put on her cloak, and then put it down.

After finishing the equipment, the four of them crossed the fence and walked towards the towering tree.
