Before the journey of One Piece

"You can tell me what you think we did." Hawkins put down the goblet, and the glass made a crisp sound when it collided with the table.

"Oh? Could it be that you don't dare to admit what you did?" Fu Liuli straightened her back and looked directly into Hawkins' eyes.

Qinglin, Suoli, and Simon looked at the two people who were looking at each other coldly in confusion.

"Miss Alice, have you misunderstood the captain?" Solly tried to persuade her. "Gina-chan is indeed suspicious, but she didn't do anything to the captain, and the captain won't do anything to her."

"Well, Miss Alice, I didn't find any injuries on my body..." Qinglin hesitated, after all, she wasn't sure whether Hawkins used her blood to make a stand-in doll as double insurance.

Fu Liuli sighed: "Miss Gina, take a closer look at the fingers and arm of your left hand. Are there any signs of wound healing on them?"

Qinglin quickly raised her hand to observe, and Suoli stretched out her head.After looking at it for a while, they discovered the inconspicuous scars on it.

'Am I really a stand-in? !Can such an inconspicuous scar be discovered? Qinglin thought in surprise. Suoli looked at the scar. As a subordinate of Hawkins, she immediately understood the reason.

"It seems that the red-haired lady already knows what's going on." Suoli looked up and Fu Liuli was staring at her.Suoli and Fu Liuli looked at each other for a few seconds, then turned to look at Hawkins, and expected to see him doing divination.

Fu Liuli snorted coldly and waited for Hawkins' divination to end.

"Just to be on the safe side." Hawkins did not refute or explain what he had done.Gina was stunned. Does this mean he really made a stand-in? !

"Oh, then you are really cautious." Fu Liuli's cold tone revealed a bit of sarcasm.

The two continued to look at each other coldly.

'I always feel like the atmosphere has become tense! ' Gina thought in a panic, and then she saw Simon silently holding down the weapon beside her, and Solly put her hand into her pocket.

"Brother? But..." At this time, Fu Liuli looked at the box and frowned.

"Yes, that's right... No, it's not that I care..."

'No, definitely caring. ' others thought.

"Okay, this is indeed none of my business. I apologize." Her brother Moen didn't know what he said to her. After a long silence, Fu Liuli turned to apologize to Hawkins.

"Humph." Hawkins relaxed his frown and put away the tarot cards.

The atmosphere relaxed instantly, Gina breathed a sigh of relief, and Solly and the others returned to their original relaxed postures.

"Judging from the conversation just now, Miss Alice seems to know the unlocking chain quite well. Can you explain it to us a little bit?" Hawkins rolled his eyes and asked Fu Liuli.

Fu Liuli glanced at Gina, then turned around and said, "Since Miss Gina is like this, I'll give you some additional information."

Hawkins nodded, indicating that he was all ears.

"Then let's start with what Gina knows. It's voluntary and the literal meaning is the same. As long as you show your intention to agree, you don't necessarily know that you are tied to the other party."

"Indeed..." Hawkins thought of the previous conditions and agreed.Solly and Simon were thoughtful.

"It is actually not accurate that the chain cannot be untied. For example, as long as Miss Gina, who is the source, dies, the chain will naturally disappear. If you, 'Magician', can be cruel enough to kill her or refuse to save her, ." Fu Liuli's tone was calm, and Hawkins glanced at Qinglin. The other party did not show any uneasiness, but showed an expression of sudden realization.

"What if it's the other way around?"

"It won't disappear on the other hand." Fu Liuli's eyes dimmed a bit and he continued.

"Forget about the distance of ten meters. I think you have already studied the conditions for its appearance and disappearance. The other thing is that both sides can touch the chain, so the chain can become a weapon to restrict one of the parties."

Hawkins' eyes narrowed slightly, realizing that there was another meaning behind this sentence.

"One last point, the color of the chain actually represents... to a certain extent, but this involves privacy issues, so I can't elaborate on it." Fu Liuli said and looked at Qinglin.

"If Miss Gina recalls it, maybe she will tell it, if she feels like it."

Everyone looked at Qing Lin, who scratched her neck and laughed uncomfortably.

"It's up to you to decide whether you believe everything I said." Seeing the suspicion in their eyes, Fu Liuli snorted coldly and looked at Qinglin.

The child who had lost his memory had an "I see" expression on his face, and that innocent look dazzled her.

"The little lady is almost satisfied." She lowered her eyelids and said suddenly.

"Eh?" Qinglin watched her stand up.

"My little lady has something to do, so I'll take my leave now. I've already paid for the meal in advance, please don't worry."

"Actually, I think we can chat for a while longer..."

"Feel sorry."

Qinglin actually still had many questions to ask, but the other party obviously wanted to leave, and she couldn't stop him.

The white-haired girl turned around and looked at the three people at the table next to her: "Miss Gina, please take care of me."

Fu Liuli bowed slightly to the three of them, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Don't worry, Miss Alice! Gina-chan is our partner!" Solly replied solemnly, patting her chest. Simon curled his lips and wisely did not add "temporary partner".

"By the way, Miss Alice, I have something else to ask." Qinglin thought for a while and took out the necklace in the space from her pocket so that others could see it. "How should this be used?"

Fu Liuli stared at the ore, which was very similar in color but different from the blue sky, and raised his eyes and said, "Your situation seems to be even more serious."

"Uh... I can't help it..." Qing Lin was also helpless.

"Just stick it on your forehead."

"that's it?"

"That's it, and then protect yourself during the battle." Fu Liuli picked up the box and walked towards the door.When passing Qinglin, she paused for a moment.

"It would be nice if you were here 18 years ago."

The voice was insubstantial. Qinglin opened her eyes wide and turned around to see that Fu Liuli had left quickly.

"That child is very worried..." Suoli also leaned on the sofa and looked back at the girl leaving.

"That's right, Gina-chan!"

"Huh?" Qinglin looked at her.

"Here, here." Suoli moved to the other side of the sofa and patted the place where she just sat.

"Ah good."
