Before the journey of One Piece

"Binding device..." Qinglin reacted and remembered the black chain. "real?"

"If you don't believe it, you can experiment it yourself, or ask your captain to divine it." Rosetta spread her hands, with the attitude that it's up to you to decide whether you believe it or not.

"I understand, as long as I put this on, I can temporarily prevent the chain from appearing, right?" Qinglin asked the system to scan the necklace and determined that there was a very precise mechanical structure inside the cross, and the ribbon seemed to have been specially treated.

"The instructions are at the bottom of the box, and..." Rosetta took out another folded piece of paper. "This is Yuan Tang's information. We don't know how much you know about him, so we summarized the information for you."

"Ah... thank you." Qinglin originally wanted to say that she already knew, but based on the principle of not giving anything for nothing, she extended her hand.

"Wait..." Qinglin suddenly stopped, her eyes became strange. "I accept these benefits at a cost, right?"

"The price? I remember it was informed in the message." Qinglin thought about it for a moment.

"Protect Hawkins from Yuan Tang?" Qing Lin was a little unsure.

"Pretty much, the main thing is to keep Hawkins alive." Rosetta's expression suddenly became serious. "In fact, his life is more important than you think."

"This..." Qinglin was a little confused, feeling that there was some very important reason behind this.

"Dang————" Suddenly a bell rang. Qinglin looked at the forest in confusion, where the sound came from.

"what?"

"How could the calling bell..."

Qinglin could hear the restless voices of the nearby islanders. Several people passed by them and ran into the nearby houses and locked them.

"That guy rang the bell." Rosetta put the note into Qinglin's hand. "We all have our own tasks, so we can't come to help. You can only rely on yourself to deal with Yuan Tang in the future."

"Wait——" Before Qinglin could raise her hand, Rosetta disappeared.

"Teleport?!" Qinglin looked confused. She remembered that Rosetta's ability was not like this.

"Gina! The pointer has finished recording! It's time to go!" Hawkins shouted from behind. Qinglin turned around. All the residents were gone, and only the pirates were left in the square.

The ground began to shake, and everyone ran towards the Dove under the captain's order.But near the port, they were overtaken by an incoming object————

"Combatants stay behind! Others quickly lift anchor and set sail!" Following Hawkins's order, the combatants turned around and began to fight with the animals rushing out of the forest.

"These things are too big!" Greg chopped down a squirrel twice his size and shot another one in the head.The injured squirrel did not run away in fright, but continued to pounce and bite.

"And there are too many!" Borg glanced at it, and there must be more than thirty in number!

"Hold on! Retreat as soon as the ship weighs anchor!" As soon as Hawkins finished speaking, he cut off the neck of a squirrel, but the blood that spurted out was not bright red, but a strange green color.

"Aren't these guys too violent?" Suoli controlled the marbles to penetrate the flesh one by one, and at the same time she was glad that she didn't bring a violin.

As soon as Qinglin knocked a squirrel away, a photo popped up in the system: "Captain! Someone in the house next to you is preparing to push a cannon out to blast the ship!"

"Cannon?! If it's not far away, intercept it!" Hawkins killed a squirrel again. Qinglin nimbly avoided the animal and rushed towards the house where the cannon was launched.

"Go away!" The two villagers in green cloaks raised their muskets without hesitation, not feeling soft-hearted at all because Qing Lin was a little girl.

"Eh!" Qinglin was frightened by the sound of gunfire. Fortunately, she had avoided the direction of their guns in advance, and then flattened the barrel of the gun.

"What?!" The villagers were surprised by Qinglin's grip strength, and then they were knocked down by her punch.Looking at the cannon again, the fuse has been lit.Qinglin quickly pulled out the fuse, knocked out the last villager, picked up the cannon, and threw it towards the house with the second fort.

"Done!" Qinglin ran back. Hawkins was waiting for her to return. For some reason, the squirrels did not dare to approach because they stayed more than ten meters away from the ship.A pungent smell rushed straight into her nose. Qinglin pinched her nose and understood the reason.

"Set the ship!" Hawkins and Qinglin rushed to the Dove together and cut off the rope.

As the ship gradually moved away from the port, the squirrels became more restless and rushed towards them despite the pungent smell.

"Fire!" Lister, who had already set up the cannon fire, shouted and knocked the squirrels that jumped towards the ship into the water. Those squirrels in the water that tried to climb onto the ship were shot down by Hawkins and his crew.

After a hard fight, the Astoria finally moved away from Red Pine Island, and the group of squirrels also gave up on the Astoria and turned around and left the port.
