The crew of One Piece all want to blame me

Just when the mercenary was calculating what to do with the commission, he suddenly felt an attack from behind and rolled forward to avoid it at the critical moment.

"It's really you, Grant."

"Hill!"

Grant looked at Hill who was standing here at some point and was surprised.

At this moment, Hill had already put on his combat uniform, a black light leather armor that was easy to move around, with two scabbards on his waist, and two dark blue swords in his hands, one on the left and the other on the right.

"As expected of you, did you guess that I would come to assassinate you today?"

"Others may not, but your words will definitely come."

"Should I thank you for knowing everything about me?"

After saying that, Grant threw two poisonous throwing knives at Hill and jumped out of the window to escape without a fight.

"stop!"

Hill used his knife to deflect the flying knife and quickly followed.

The village chief's house returned to silence, as if nothing had happened. As a result, Pat woke up the next day and found two throwing knives in the corridor, and fearfully knocked on the guest room where Hill lived.

However, the guest room was incredibly clean and tidy. If there was no Hill's luggage bag on the bed, Pat would have suspected that no one had stayed in the room.

When Cecile brought Yaying and Linda to his home, Pat breathed a sigh of relief.

"Village Chief, what's wrong with you?"

Yaying observed attentively that Pat was uncomfortable and nervous as if he was being threatened by something.

"I...I discovered something strange this morning..."

Pat tremblingly took out the iron ball found in the bedroom and the two throwing knives found in the corridor, swallowed his saliva and said.

"Besides these, I discovered that Hill was missing."

"Let's not mention him first, what is this iron ball?"

Yaying reached out and picked up the iron ball, frowning and looking at the countless small holes around the iron ball and the switch at the bottom.

"I'll call Brother Seth over!"

Linda realized that things were not simple, so she turned around and ran out of the room. Cecile was checking Winnie's physical condition in the master bedroom at this time, not knowing what happened to them in the hall.

So after Winnie fell asleep and came to the hall, she saw Seth, who was supposed to be recovering at home, sitting on the sofa. Allen, Yaying and Linda were also sitting on the sofa, looking at several items on the tea table and lost in thought.

"Why are you here too? What happened?"

"Sister Cecil!"

Linda quickly stood up and pulled Cecile to the sofa to explain the current situation to her.

After she brought Seth and Allen, Allen saw at a glance that the iron ball was a hypnotic prop.

In order to know the effectiveness of the hypnotic powder, Allen picked up the fruit knife on the table and broke apart the iron ball. That skillful technique made a group of people think that he could easily take apart this thing with his eyes closed.

"It's just a sleeping powder, harmless to the human body."

After taking a look at the little white powder left, Allen came to a conclusion.

"Thank you...thank you. Well...can you tell the ingredients just by looking at them?"

Can an herbalist do this? Pat asked looking at Alan in shock.

Seeing this familiar look of surprise, Allen suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something he shouldn't have done.

It’s all the fault of the people around him!

Even if he usually does incredible things, they will all look like "Awesome", "As expected of Allen, he is just reliable", "Is this difficult?" Can you teach me? ’ This attitude made him unconsciously think that this ability was no longer a burden, but a strength that could help them.

Now being pulled back to normal thinking by a normal person, Allen suddenly panicked and didn't know how to explain.

"If there was something wrong with this powder, I guess you wouldn't be sitting here right now."

Seth, who had been silent all this time, uttered a sentence, feeling helpless in his heart.

Is this guy just now realizing that there is something wrong with his actions? Cecile is right, this person is really stupid.

"That's it! And as an herbalist, isn't it normal to know this?"

No, this is not normal.

Seth glanced at the serious Yaying and swallowed the truth he almost said.

"Is it because herbs can be ground into unique powders? Brother Allen often helps Sister Cecile grind herbs, so you can tell what kind of herbs they are at a glance, right?"

After hearing Linda's more confusing theories, Seth took a deep breath and looked at the poison-stained flying knife.

He didn't hear it, he couldn't hear it.

At this time, Allen also looked at the three of them in confusion.

Except for what Seth said was well founded, these two girls were just talking nonsense. What shocked him even more was that Pat nodded clearly and accepted this statement.

It's kind of funny, but they're definitely covering for him. At this moment, Allen's feelings buried deep in his heart quietly sprouted, making him intuitively feel that... he had found his destination.

Seth, who studied the flying knives, promptly stopped Yaying and Linda from brainwashing, and said to Allen.

"Can you tell what the poison is?"

"You can't tell it by looking at it, unless you use live experiments."

Allen shook his head and told the truth. In fact, he still has a way to know the effect and ingredients of the poison, but no one is poisoned now, so he doesn't need to do this step.

Hearing this, Seth nodded and said.

"There are more hypnotic props in the room, and two poisonous throwing knives in the corridor, but Hill is missing. If these clues are all connected together, it should be... someone wanted to kill the village chief last night, and then Hill discovered that the two He left here after the confrontation. Or it could be the other way around. Someone was secretly protecting the village chief, and when he saw Hill about to kill him, he stopped him, and the two left here after the confrontation."

The conclusion is the same, that is, someone wants to kill Pat, and Hill's identity is not simple.

Perhaps he already had this answer in his mind. Pat didn't panic too much. He just breathed quickly and calmed down.

"The question now is whether Hill is safe now. Judging from the condition of the guest room, he probably didn't sleep last night."

Rather than Hill wanting to kill him, Pat is more willing to believe that he saved himself.

Now Cecile also knew about this matter, and after discussing it for a while, she decided to let Pat and Winnie live in their home and hide away for the next two days.

Perhaps because the large number of people gave him a sense of security, Pat finally calmed down and thought about why he was assassinated.

He has no power, no financial resources, he is just an ordinary village chief. The only thing that can be regarded as property is the piece of cloud and mist grass planted in the back hill.

But they are said to be properties, but in fact these are the properties of the city lord Bibiru V. He was just a person hired by the city lord to cultivate these medicinal herbs with wages.

Every time when the herbs mature, several professional herbalists come from the city of Flandore to take back all the herbs and plant seeds for him to continue cultivating.

After thinking about it, Pat really couldn't figure out who he had provoked.
