A royal delegation of 26 people from a certain country in the West Sea came to the island because they wanted to visit the fish-man island before participating in the World Conference. In order to play freely, they declined the invitation of Princess Otohime and temporarily lived in the rich city of 'Ju Bally HILLS'. "

"Things are getting interesting." Shanks pursed his lips, but didn't smile.

"Is that a high ground?" Mihawk nodded, "That's a place that sharks can't reach. If you're a national mission, it's easy to hide mermaids."

"However, because a little princess was just born, this mission has also been invited to Dragon Palace City as a guest since yesterday morning. We found out that there are 25 people registered to enter the palace, that is to say, there is one person left outside Dragon Palace City. …It’s a pity that the handwriting he filled out in the registration form for entering the city was too scribbled, and he couldn’t even recognize the name of the person left behind, and it’s been almost a month, and no one can remember the appearance of that group of humans.”

"..." Shanks was a little speechless, and finally he smiled, "At least one suspicious target can be locked, and we can look for clues."

"I think, I can only ask you to investigate this matter." Jinbei's tone was very sincere, "The other party is a royal mission, established diplomatic relations with Fishman Island on an equal footing, and came here for sightseeing. There is no sufficient evidence. The soldiers on Man Island cannot move. Even if a pirate like Aaron Xiaoba finds him, he will be regarded as a reckless offense by the murlocs. Besides, Qiubali is not an ordinary place, and it is the second largest security guard on Murloc Island. In the wealthy area of ​​Dragon Palace City, Xiao Ba and the others will be interrogated if they step into it."

Shanks looked down at his attire, reached out to support the straw hat, shrugged with a smile, and cast his eyes on Mihawk. "I'll go," the swordsman reached out to take the phone bug, "tell me the address where they live."

Shanks watched as Mihawk wrote down the address in a note, then hung up and returned the phone bug to him. "I'll change my clothes and go with you?" He raised his cheeks and asked the other party's opinion, "Although there is only one opponent, it doesn't look like an ordinary person."

"No, I'll go by myself." Mihawk refused without hesitation, "I'm not here to fight anyone, I'm just looking for clues... Besides, I don't think the mermaid must be in Qiubali."

"Huh?" Shanks' eyes widened.

"The ones who kidnapped the mermaid were also outlaws on Murloc Street. They should be the same as the murloc pirates. It is difficult for them to enter Qiubali. It is more likely that they handed over the mermaid in a place other than Qiubali. However, the people from the mission yesterday I have already entered Dragon Palace City in the morning, but the kidnapped mermaid was only transported to Murloc Island yesterday afternoon..." Mihawk seemed to be infected by Shanks, resting his chin with his hands, thoughtful Said: "If this is a national conspiracy, will they leave only one person to take care of a mermaid that is similar to an adult human?" He looked at Shanks, "The people in Xihai are not particularly tall, right? "

"So?" Shanks was not interested in the reasoning process, and asked directly, "What should I do?"

"Wait here for your deputy captain to call, I think, no matter whether he has any new discoveries, he can find the most suitable thing for you to do." Mihawk stood up and put the black knife on his back, "I Go to Jubali first."

Shanks watched Mihawk walk towards the door of the Mermaid Cafe. He waved his arms and raised his voice a little, "Don't forget to call anytime if you have anything to do."

The swordsman didn't look back, he raised his palm over his shoulder, and compared "three" and "nine" to him from the air.Shanks laughed, watching the closed door cover Mihawk's figure. "I really want to go to Qiubali too..." He sighed, tugged his white shirt, pushed the straw hat on his back, put the two sandals together under the table, and knocked each other After a while, "Judging people by their appearance is too superficial!"

Time seemed to slow down after Mihawk left, Shanks counted the empty wine bottles on the table and added one more, and began to feel bored, until the phone bug rang again, he immediately straightened his body.

"Hello, Beckman?"

"Boss, I found someone who has seen this kind of wine bottle. He said that he had received quite a few days ago at the garbage dump of 'Jobali Hills', the city of rich people on the island."

"It's because an envoy from a West Sea country who came to the World Conference arrived at Fishman Island a month ago..." Shanks repeated the news he heard from Jinbe, and finally said: "Hawkeye has already gone there to investigate gone."

"The internal efficiency of the state machinery is indeed higher." Beckman gave a positive evaluation, "I also found the same clue, but this wine bottle disappeared half a month ago, I guess it may be from the embassy. The inventory has been exhausted. The royal ship escorting the envoys is staying at Coral Ridge Harbor, and I managed to sneak onto this ship, but there was no one on it, and I found neither wine nor mermaids."

"That means the people left behind are not looking at the ship." Shanks paused, "I don't think you will specifically tell me the result of nothing."

"Of course," Shanks heard the sound of his first mate striking a match, "Jubali is a possibility, with Hawkeye, we don't have to worry about it; there is another...boss, can't find it." Just because there is garbage, it doesn’t mean that there is no garbage. No matter which country you are in, there will always be places where there is no sanitation management at all.”

"Slums on Murloc Island?" Shanks immediately understood.

"And it's a slum far away from the ocean." He received an affirmative answer from Beckman, "It's just to the northeast of Murloc Island, not far from Jubali, and I'm already on my way there. Jesus notified everyone to come over."

"Okay, I'll rush over there right away!" Shanks stood up immediately, he was just about to take out his pocket to pay the bill, but was told by the waiter that the human brother with a big knife who left before had already paid.Shanks laughed unknowingly, but Xiao Ba just pushed the door in at this moment, and Shanks realized that he almost forgot about this helper who was more familiar with the local situation, so he hurriedly asked the mermaid waiter to help pack the bag that Mihawk had given earlier. Small eight points of food.He stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiaoba's arm, "Beckman thinks there may be clues in the slums in the northeast of the island, let's go together!"

"Nu, that's great!" Xiao Ba regained his energy immediately, turned around and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, there was another human hand that was sucked by the suction cup on his arm.Shanks was almost thrown out by him, Xiao Ba quickly stopped, and said very apologetically, "Nu, I'm sorry..."

Shanks laughed nonchalantly, "The murloc is so interesting!" He pulled off his palm, took the lunch box from the waiter, and handed it to Xiaoba, "Come on, you have to eat on the way Something, and we will talk about the rest as we walk!"

11. Chapter 11

Mihawk, who easily entered Jubali without being questioned, was not in a hurry to go to the address Jinbe gave him. He first calmly walked into the majestic clothing store in the middle of the city, and picked out a long trench coat that he liked. , changed the long-sleeved jacket he was wearing before, and picked out a wide-brimmed top hat that matched the windbreaker while the tailor in the shop sewed the buckle for fixing the black knife at the appropriate position on the back according to his requirements. To cover the eyes that are always noticed by others.

After the outfit was packed, Mihawk stood in front of the full-length mirror and evaluated it. He was satisfied with his disguise, and at the same time, he thought carefully about changing his dressing style in the future.After a while, he walked out of the store with a smile on his face from the shopping guide, and then walked to the target hotel without haste, and asked for the best suite under the name "Jo La Keer".

The Xihai Mission had reserved a suite on the top floor and lived upstairs in Mihawk. This situation was within his expectations. He stepped into the elevator calmly, pressed the correct building number without changing his face, and entered the elevator. When he arrived, Xinbu stepped out.He opened the door and entered the reserved room, turned on all the lights, chose the "Do Not Disturb" instruction, and listened to the door for a while, after confirming that no one was passing by, he left the room and locked the door.

He held the key in his hand, took off the cross knife around his neck, and hid it between his palms. He walked through the corridor, pushed open the door of the safety staircase, climbed up one floor, and arrived at the mission. place to live.

A waiter pushing a cart of quilts passed him by, stopped slightly, and nodded to him.Mihawk turned a blind eye, and still walked towards the innermost room without hesitation.Finally, he stopped in front of the door at the end of the corridor, fiddled with the key on his fingertips, but the knife slipped out of his palm and stuck into the keyhole.Mihawk didn't have enough confidence to open the door lock, but he didn't mind digging a hole in the door with a knife and took the lock off directly.Fortunately, the door lock of this gorgeous suite also followed the principle of luxury, and it was made into the style of the big lock on the treasure chest. Mihawk didn't have much trouble prying it open with a knife.

He stepped in directly, and closed the door at the same time, and then stood at the door for a while, without hearing any sound, he went in without any hesitation, picked up enough cabinets and boxes for hiding people, knocked on each of them, and opened the door. Once again, there is no gain in the end.He stood still at the door again. He didn't hear any noise in the corridor, so he opened the door and came out, and checked the next room in the same way.

This inspection lasted for some time, and he stayed in one of the rooms for an extra long time. During this period, because he heard footsteps in the corridor, he hid twice urgently, and even took the risk of hanging himself out of the window once. Fortunately, it was completely dark, and the room he was in was not
