One Piece Eagle Red Ten Thousand Meters Under the Sea

, turned his head and asked his first mate: "What are we going to do next?"

"Give me the Xihai wine bottle, and then the boss will stay here and wait for the news," Beckman took the empty bottle from Shanks and pinned it to his waist, "Mermaid Cafe and other colleagues The stores are all in contact, so it is very likely that they will hear clues immediately, and this is the center of Murloc Island, so it is convenient to rush to any place in time."

"Where are you going?" Shanks put his arms on the edge of the table and asked at the same time as he lay down obediently.

"Glass bottles are waste products that can be recycled. I'll go to the sanitation management office on the island to see if there is such 'garbage' anywhere."

"Waiting for your good news." Shanks was not surprised that Beckman quickly found a new starting point, and waved his hand with a smile.

Mihawk filled his stomach under the gaze of Shanks. During his meal, the red-haired pirate sat on the opposite side of the table, resting his chin on his left hand, tilting his head and smiling at him, drinking uninterruptedly. liquor.Mihawk interpreted that smile as Shanks' normal expression, and didn't feel uncomfortable.After the meal, he piled up the dishes with little food left so that the waiter could take them away, then ordered another cup of coffee, and told Shanks about the inspection and repair of the Reid, some of which were due to lack of The material is only slightly repaired, and the places that need to be further strengthened in the future are also explained in detail one by one.

Shanks asked the mermaid in the coffee shop for paper and pen, and wrote down all these places. He carefully put away the paper, and thanked Mihawk earnestly.

"The leader of the Murloc Pirates is not very friendly to humans, and he didn't promise us anything in person." Mihawk narrowed his eyes and took a sip of hot coffee. "It is necessary to repair the ship. If he refuses to admit it afterwards, we will Gotta get out in time."

Shanks subconsciously rejoiced at the "we" that Mihawk said casually, he calmed down, and let himself express this joy frankly, "I really like to hear you say that, as if we It's like we're partners."

"You can't compete on Murloc Island. I have to go to the next island with you, and we will separate after the winner." Mihawk spread his hands, "Before that, we really need to be on the same boat."

"Then what if there is no winner?" Shanks put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist and asked with a non-serious smile.

"Then I have to make an appointment at another date. I can't be with others all the time." Mihawk replied without thinking.

Shanks immediately got down on the ground, and was even more inexplicably frustrated by the word "others". He felt strangely surprised in his heart, but he still responded casually: "Then it would be good to make an appointment again later."

Mihawk glanced at the distorted half of Shanks' face pressed on the table, but he didn't see anything wrong, "I want to remind you that if you try to keep your hands in pursuit of a draw when you compete with me, But people will die."

"Huh?" Shanks looked at the other party with some playfulness, "Are you confident that you can kill me?"

"It's hard to say at the moment, we haven't compared yet." Mihawk drank his coffee with his eyes lowered as usual, "In short, I will go all out. If I lose to you, I will work hard with you as my goal; if you are good It’s so easy, and I can keep my hands so that I can’t even lose.” He raised his head to look at the red-haired pirate, and said in a flat tone, “Although I can’t kill you, I can still kill myself who is ashamed. "

Shanks' expression turned serious, "Are you so obsessed with becoming stronger?" He blurted out almost subconsciously, "What are you pursuing?"

"The strongest." Mihawk replied without thinking, "The strongest in the way of swords." He didn't seem to feel how shocking the answer was, and lowered his head to drink the coffee that was not so hot.

Shanks opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a passing mermaid waiter covered his mouth and laughed, "Wow! What a handsome guest." Then there was a burst of echoing laughter and praise , the mermaid girls' appreciation seemed to come from the heart, but they didn't seem to take what the swordsman said seriously.

Shanks looked for Mihawk's reaction with his eyes, and the other party was still drinking his coffee indifferently, and he didn't seem to care about the attitude of all the "others" in the room towards this matter.The corners of his mouth were slightly bent, and he pulled out the knife at his waist half a foot. The sound of gold and iron made the road partner opposite him quickly raise his head and cast his eyes on his knife.Shanks also lowered his head, and brushed the blade of his love knife with his fingers, "It's called Griffin, and it has been with me for a long time. In fact, I never care what my opponents think, but I won't make an appointment. keep my hand in the duel, for I will never let it be dishonored."

"You are a good pirate," Mihawk nodded seriously, "and a good swordsman, I am very grateful to Pluto for introducing you to me." "It's called Ye, as you can see, it's a black knife, very hard, I hope they have a good exchange and don't get hurt."

Shanks's smile widened a bit, "I've heard of the dominance of the Black Knife, but I have confidence in Griffin."

Mihawk raised his eyebrows and stared at him, "The person who uses the knife is more important than the knife itself. You have great confidence in yourself."

Shanks smiled without answering, and raised his glass to Mihawk, "You are really a good swordsman, and you are a very special pirate, and I am also very grateful to Mr. Raleigh for giving me the opportunity to compete with you! "

Mihawk also raised his coffee cup, collided with his wine glass, drank the remaining half of the glass, and then frowned bitterly.

Shanks saw all this small movement in his eyes, smiled and drank the wine in the glass, then put the empty glass on the table, exhaled long, and was about to continue to ask another question that he wanted to know in his heart. Question, the phone bug in his arms yelled "Poru-Poru", and he hurriedly took it out, "It's finally here! Let's see, who found what clue first?"

10. Chapter 10

The caller was Xiao Ba, "Nu, no one saw the Markulo family yesterday." The octopus man sounded frustrated, "I asked about the pubs and casinos they frequented, but I found nothing. New , In the past, when they had money, they would immediately come here and spend it."

"Don't worry, Little Ba." Shanks was not disappointed by the news, "We still have other clues to investigate."

Mihawk ticked his fingers and motioned for Shanks to hand him the phone bug, "Go back to the Mermaid Cafe, you should have something to eat."

He had just finished speaking when a loud voice came from the phone bug, followed by Xiao Ba's simple and honest voice, "Nu... I feel hungry."

Shanks laughed unknowingly, said a few more words to reassure Xiao Ba, and hung up the phone.He looked at Mihawk who was looking at the menu and helping Xiaoba order food in advance, "You get along well with him."

"We didn't bother to eat before, and he helped repair your boat." Mihawk didn't look up, "Is this strange? I get along well with you."

Shanks smiled and scratched his head again, "Actually, you look more like a pirate who draws his sword when he's upset."

"That's true," Mihawk glanced at him, "but why should I be unhappy?"

Shanks couldn't answer, he recalled it, and he couldn't seem to imagine what kind of things would be worth the anger of someone like Mihawk, and he didn't seem to mind being offended that much... unless it was some other form of offense.Shanks stopped his wandering thoughts, and put his mind on the matter in front of him again, "It's not surprising that Xiaoba didn't find any clues."

"If the people behind the scenes can use the kidnapping gang through hypnosis, then naturally there is no need to give them money." Mihawk didn't look surprised, "But your murloc friend may not be in the mood to wait like us, he will go find him." There is nothing wrong with it, and this also confirms our speculation from the side.”

"Who do you think is more likely to make new discoveries?"

"The key depends on the murloc officers, they have more information," Mihawk folded his arms, "I believe your deputy captain will also have new insights."

"What about you?" Shanks asked curiously.

"I'd rather use it for strength." The swordsman patted his black knife and gave the answer without thinking.

Not long after that, before Hachi arrived at the Mermaid Cafe, Shanks received a second call from Shiping.

"The Markuro family really doesn't remember anything. Milo said that he stole the Xihai wine from the wine box while looking at Danshui, but he forgot it in a blink of an eye." Jinbe sighed, "Miro has always had a bad memory. , Makulo and Danshui can't think of anything, I think it's hard to ask anything from them."

The news of the second defeat caused Mihawk and Shanks to look at each other. Shanks touched his chin and was about to say something, but Jinbe hung up the phone suddenly.

"I guess he found something," Shanks looked at Mihawk, "Mr. Jinpei was very stable before, so he shouldn't hang up the phone so casually."

Mihawk nodded, and after a while, the phone bug in Shanks' hand rang again, he picked it up, and heard Jinbe's voice anxious, "The brothers guarding the city gate called just now, they have already After checking all the humans who came to Murloc Island within a month and did not leave again, most of the pirates did not stay so long, and the only Xihai guest is still in prison because of a fight on Murloc Island, so The most suspect right now..." The shark murloc took a deep breath and suddenly lowered his voice, "
