Before the journey of One Piece

"Are you really not going to talk to the friend you've been missing for a while longer?" A gentle male voice sounded in Fu Liuli's mind.

'She is no longer my friend, she has forgotten everything. '

"Liu Li...even if she forgets, you can still be friends."

'It's impossible. Fu Liuli denied it, turned around and walked into the alley between buildings. She raised her hand to her forehead, picked off a four-pointed star-shaped object with crystal texture, and buckled it on the lobe of her left ear.

"The battle mode has been released." Another cold voice sounded in her mind, and the long white hair gradually turned black, broke bit by bit, and scattered in the air.

"Short hair is more comfortable." Fu Liuli touched the black hair that was just halfway past the ears.

"Liu Li, it's not good for you to be so arrogant when you have a paralyzed face."

'Who is so arrogant!I told you I don't care about her! Fu Liuli retorted again.

"Oh, that's really weird."

'what? '

"Why did the hidden channel of the system send a backup compressed package to Qinglin's system? This is really a big mystery."

'snort!who knows. '

"Dad, black stars have appeared!" Next to him, a young child sitting on his father's shoulders pointed to the space and shouted.

Fu Liuli stopped and looked up.

Black spots are scattered across the blue sky, shining like stars at night, and even white clouds cannot cover its brilliance.

"Ah, I didn't expect a 'Black Star' to appear today." The father stopped and smiled. "It's my son, he's so sharp!"

"Black stars have appeared more frequently recently."

"Maybe something is going to happen."

"Speaking of which, Mrs. Catherine next door to me has..."

Fu Liuli felt a sense of sadness and helplessness in her heart as she listened to the chatter of the two old men who were also standing next to her.

'All this will eventually pass away...' she thought to herself, then remembered Qinglin's blank face just now.

'If Qinglin had come here 18 years ago, at least she could have stayed with the "Magician" for a while longer...'

"I obviously care about her very much."

'Shut up, you bastard! '

……

"The real probability is...100%?" Hawkins looked at the cards and his eyes widened.

"100%?!" Suoli and Simon showed surprised expressions.

"100% Is there any problem?" Qinglin asked confusedly when she saw them being so surprised.

"Gina-chan, the captain's divination is rarely so absolute. Under normal circumstances, the highest probability is 99%." Sori explained kindly after swallowing the food in her mouth.

"Captain Hawkins, are you sure it's 100%?" Simon stared at Hawkins' hand closely, watching the delicate skull patterns being arranged and reorganized one after another.

"Well, I'm sure, no matter how the divination is done, it's 100%." ​​Hawkins pondered for a moment and said.

"In other words, although it is incomplete, the information about that girl is completely true." Simon came to this conclusion easily.

"It seems that I really don't have to consider the possibility of the 5% chain being unlocked." Hawkins lowered his head and looked at the newly drawn tarot cards in his hand.

"The plan to go to the Grand Channel..." Simon hesitated, and Qinglin's hand holding the spoon stopped.

"It doesn't matter, Gina's existence has almost no impact on this plan." Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief at Hawkins' words and continued to stuff chocolate ice cream into her mouth.

"Since it was voluntary, why did the captain and Gina agree?" Simon asked the question just now.

"Uh, um..." Qing Lin hesitated.

"I was trying to escape from the cult cave. Please refer specifically to the experience Rist talked about last week." Hawkins drank a glass of white wine and spoke calmly.

"Last week?" Suo Li and Simon raised their heads slightly, trying to remember.

"Ah! Could it be that Liste told about being kidnapped by cultists at the banquet last week?" Suo Li thought about it and said in surprise.

"The ending did mention that Captain Hawkins, who was covered in blood, took him to escape with him." Simon said while stroking the stubby beard on his chin.

"I remember Captain, you said that you knew how to get out with the help of a 'little girl' voice."

"Yes, I discussed it with Lister and Greg last night and concluded that being tied to Gina is the price of getting help, but I didn't know it at the time."

"I think you were taken advantage of, captain." Simon stroked his beard, while Hawkins was noncommittal.

"This price is so strange." Suoli complained and looked at Qinglin next to her.

"Gina-chan too?"

"It's possible... I can't remember the reason for making this choice at that time." Qinglin shook her head.

"Losing memory is really troublesome." Suo Li sighed with emotion.

"It's just that I don't know anything and am very passive in everything I do." Qinglin nodded in agreement.

"Then you knew about the conditions of the chains at breakfast yesterday?"

"I remembered it later." Qinglin looked a little unnatural in response to Hawkins' question.Naturally, her concealing attitude cannot escape everyone's eyes.

'Gina-chan really hides a lot of things from us. ' Soli thought as she drank her wine. 'Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, if she dares to do anything detrimental to the pirate group, I'll kill her. '

"That..." Qinglin lowered her head, her expression becoming frustrated and a little guilty. "I'm sorry, Captain Hawkins, because the past things have affected you..."

"...This is my choice, you don't have to apologize." Hawkins put away the tarot cards and looked at her calmly. "Instead of regretting the past and not knowing the truth, you should think clearly about the future."

Qinglin was stunned and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

"It's almost there, let's go."

Fu Liuli had already paid for her and Gina's table, so Hawkins and the others only had to pay for their own table.

"Then I'll go to the tavern by myself." After walking out of the restaurant, Simon was ready to leave.At the same time, he did not forget to add in a mean tone: "It's a pity that the captain can't go."

"I'm trying to die again." Suoli sighed. Simon had said this to the captain once yesterday.

"Simon." Hawkins took out the tarot cards, did a quick divination, and looked at him solemnly. "You'd better not look for anything too good-looking today."

"I know, Captain." Simon replied absentmindedly and quickly walked away.

"It seems he thought I was bluffing him." Hawkins put away the tarot cards and turned around, spreading his hands and shrugging.

"Eh? Captain, aren't you playing a trick on him?" Suoli asked doubtfully, because Simon said something mean, and she thought her 'vindictive' captain was trying to scare Simon.

"Not this time." Hawkins raised the corners of his mouth and smiled meaningfully, without saying what he was predicting.

'Looks like Simon is going to be in trouble. Suoli silently crossed herself for Simon and was about to follow the captain when she found Qinglin frozen in place.

"Gina-chan?"

"Soli..." Qinglin covered her mouth, her eyes glistening with tears. "It's great to be alive!"

Solly tilted her head, looking confused.
