One Piece Codex

The peach garden wooden house, the pond is falling red, if there is a handsome young man in white robe sitting under the peach blossom tree at this time, it would be very beautiful, but he is a sloppy man who looks like a beggar.

"His name is Haji. He is here every day. It is said that he has not taken a bath in ten years."

Noticing Levi's curious gaze, Richie briefly explained.

"Ever since his wife died, he sat here in a daze day after day. The reason why he didn't take a bath was to retain the smell of his deceased wife."

Ten years... Tiger couldn't help but secretly marvel. He didn't take a shower for ten years just to retain the smell of his deceased wife. This shows how deeply this man loved his wife.Such loyal love is rare among fish people.

Levi hummed, but still didn't take his eyes away from the man.

A peach blossom fell in the sunshine, and the man stopped humming. He raised his head slightly, and his eyes under his hair met Levi's eyes on the pool.The two looked at each other abruptly for a few seconds. After a few seconds, Haji seemed to feel bored and looked down at the water again, paying no attention to it.

【...weirdo】

Levi muttered in his heart, but he didn't stop and quickly followed Richie out of here.

When the three of them were about to disappear from sight, Haji raised his head again, with a deep gaze behind his dirty hair, staring at Li Wei's retreating back without saying a word for a long time.

······

The island is not big, but the stone roads in the forest are winding and winding like a small maze. They walked for nearly half an hour before they saw the red-tiled houses in the town, and the streets turned into a lively market.

After simply registering for entry, Richie said politely to the two of them:

"Well, welcome to the Rainbow Kingdom. Please allow me to recommend a good hotel to you. Go straight along the street on the right and you will see a small three-story western-style building. Mrs. Anna always likes to be lively. Maybe she will give you a good hotel. Not a bad deal.”

After saying that, the seahorse fish man roughly pointed in the direction.

"Oh, thank you." Tiger wrote down the location of the hotel and the owner's name, glanced at the slave trader who was chained in shackles, and looked slightly angry, "Scumbags like this can't be let go, it's best to deal with them as soon as possible. They What you have committed is an unforgivable mistake!”

"Hmm, don't worry, good and evil will eventually be rewarded."

Richie said, he slapped the slave trader in the face with disdain, then took out a cigarette, lit it and held it in his mouth, pinched his eyebrows irritably, and puffed out a smoke ring.

"However, a whole slave ship came to the island illegally a few days ago. Those bastards were scattered around the island and moved separately, making it difficult to guard against them. As guards, we must get rid of these bugs before the Rainbow Festival."

Although he didn’t know what the [Rainbow Festival] meant in the other party’s words, Levi still understood that there were still many slave traders lurking on the island. Coupled with the troublesome tone, if this is the case...

As expected, Tiger was stunned when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice: "As for the mission, count me in! There is no way I can watch the compatriots on Fish-Man Island being brutally murdered!"

The tone was very aggressive, and Levi was not involved in the words, but this did not mean that Levi would not express his position because of this.Levi stared into the seahorse fish man's eyes. He didn't like to beat around the bush and said lightly, "I'll go too."

Richie's eyes lit up.

"Great! With your outstanding skills, this mission of catching criminals will be solved quickly! But... it may interrupt the fun of your journey."

Tiger waved his hand solemnly, immediately making it clear that he was bound to do so.

In this way, after agreeing with Rich on a time and place to meet again, Tiger and Levi decided to go to the hotel to pay their respects and take a stroll along the way.

The streets of the Rainbow Kingdom are clean and tidy, with a constant flow of pedestrians. You can even see street performers such as circus monkeys and violin solos under retro street lights, just like walking on the streets of Paris.But this is not a complete performance by those artists, but more like a rehearsal in preparation for an upcoming celebration.

Among them, a tenor attracted Livy's attention the most.

Rich and powerful singing voice, very contagious singing voice.

"I fell in love with a little lover from the bottom of my heart,

Her clear eyes were as bright as two candles.

They sweep briskly across the vast fields,

Oh, there the world shines with joy!

······"

His singing was so emotional and almost immersive that even the corners not illuminated by the sun were dyed with a beautiful color of happiness.

[Hmm... The music scene in this country seems to be surprisingly good. 】

Levi secretly admired it in his heart, and everything bustling on the street reminded him of the [Rainbow Festival] mentioned by the seahorse fish people before.If you guessed it correctly, it should be a holiday ceremony celebrated by the whole country.For an island country with a small land area and dense population, this kind of appropriate celebration can create a strong cultural atmosphere.

The tenor was still going on, but Tiger on the side didn't notice it at all. He was looking at a few children playing rubber bands across the street in a daze.

"Small leather balls, bananas and pears, Malan flowers bloom 21.

Two-five-six, two-five-seven, two-eight-two-nine-three-one..."

Just like a sparrow shouting a jingle, the rubber band jumper is naturally an ordinary rubber band jumper, but the difference is that of a child playing rubber band jumper.To be precise, two human boys and a mermaid girl.

The boy smiled and stood up for the mermaid girl.

The girl had a serious look on her face. She wore a bubble wrap shaped like a swimming ring on her waist, which allowed her to float in mid-air. Her small fishtail forks moved flexibly between the two rubber bands.

"The children are very lively." Levi smiled.

Tiger murmured: "Ah, yes, it's just... a bit incredible."

Before, he was half-convinced by Richie's words, but he actually saw fish people and humans walking together on the street everywhere, even talking and laughing...

Anyway, Tiger believes it now.

After coming back to his senses, he also smiled at Li Wei and said:

"I mean, didn't you want to see Shampoo Island coating before? Well, did you see the bubble wrap on that girl?"

Tiger pursed his lips in the direction of the little girl, "Although I don't know how Rainbow Kingdom produces it, there is a high probability that it is the same as the raw material. You can go and find out."

After backing up and saluting, Levi took the lead and walked forward and waved, "Let's talk about it when we have a chance."

The top priority is to help Ridge deal with the remaining slave traders on the island as soon as possible.Now that we have gone to sea, many worries will naturally dissipate.Now Li Wei does things as he pleases and takes action as he pleases.He didn't mind dealing with some unpleasant remnants during the trip, not to mention that he still agreed to Richie's promise.

It has always been Levi's code of conduct to be true to his words and resolute in his deeds.

He could feel that Tiger not only hated slave traders, but also looked down on those scum in terms of strength.But Levi disagreed with Tiger's contempt for the slave trader's strength, and even thought Tiger was a bit arrogant, even though Tiger was indeed very strong.

It is true that it is a good thing to be confident in one's own strength, but it is not enough to go too far, especially if you rush to end the chaos without knowing the details of the enemy, otherwise you will suffer losses sooner or later.Fighting is not a child's play, and Levi will never play with his life without knowing the enemy's details.

Since he couldn't persuade Tiger, he had to make preparations in advance.

More information would have to wait until Rich came to the hotel to find him in the evening. Before that, he first had to find out the surrounding geography and architecture, as well as the density of people at each time period.

Everything is ready to kill with one strike.

This is a qualified sniper.
