, Standing in place watching Mihawk first buckle back the raised deck of the coffin ship - after he opened the cargo hold in desperation and took out the coral bubbles, he didn't have time to close it.After Mihawk checked that the coffin ship was in good condition, he checked the mast, sail, rudder, anchor and deck of the Reid in turn, and finally he invited Xiaoba to bring boards, tools and oil lamps, and dance with him Get off the cabin.

Mihawk inspected the keel of the Reid, and then carefully inspected the hull. Xiaoba followed him closely, with six hands holding lights, tools and boards, until Mihawk suddenly stopped, and he Putting his ears close to hear the sound of his palms pressing against the hull, he picked up the grapefruit, asked Xiaoba for planks and tools, and skillfully repaired a crack in the hull that had been damaged by the murlocs.

"It's a good ship." After they walked around and carefully repaired all the damage, Mihawk gently patted the hull of the Reid, "Fortunately, there is no problem with the keel."

"Nu, I didn't expect you to be a shipwright," Xiao Ba gasped a little, "Do you think Rayleigh's son can find Xia Li soon?"

"I don't know how powerful he is." Mihawk, who had climbed onto the deck, leaned down half of his body again, took those heavy ship repair tools from Xiaoba, and fished them up effortlessly.Xiao Ba was amazed at the strength of this not-so-strong human being. He climbed up the ladder with several hands, saw that Mihawk was already trimming the sails, and listened to the other party as a matter of course, "But a pirate ship needs to be Get ready to sail."

"Nu, after all, you can't swim in the sea all the time." Xiao Ba nodded in agreement.

Mihawk finally stood still beside the coffin boat, turned around and said, "People or murlocs who can swim no longer need a stable home."

The second place Xiao Ba led his guests who refused to stay idle was Xia Li’s home, and Mihawk’s reason for this was very convincing——the expression and tone of the young human swordsman’s speech were quite intolerant Doubt, "Humans' activities in deep water are very inconvenient. If the little mermaid was really captured by humans, there may be some traces that only humans can find."

The coral bubble that Mihawk put on his body was fused when he stepped into the sealing bubble set by Xiaoba. He thoughtfully observed the way Xiaoba penetrated into the bubble, and then followed him into the bubble again. the residence of the little mermaid.Like Xiaoba's home, there are few objects and decorations here, and it is almost impossible to tell that it is a child's residence.

After entering the house, Mihawk stopped by the door and carefully checked the door lock and the hinges by the door. "Does she usually lock the door at home?" He raised his head as if he had discovered something, and looked at Xiao Ba with raised eyebrows.

"New... There are drunk murlocs here from time to time. It's not a peaceful place, so the children know to cut in the door at home."

"So the person who kidnapped her didn't break the door. The door is not very strong, but there is no trace of being forced open at all." Mihawk pointed to the two small transom windows on the top, "This is not an adult Where humans can pass, the coral fences are still there, and there is no sign of destruction."

"New..." Xiao Ba also stretched out a hand to support the mouth of the trumpet in a dignified manner, as if thinking.

Mihawk took off the black knife and leaned against the wall, then squatted down, carefully inspected the edge of the two layers of bubbles, and at the same time reached out to call for Xiao Bayi to come over and look, "The outer bubble is the seal you set up, right?" He Pointing to some sand on the inner side of the outer bubble near the door, "This is the dirt on the soles of my shoes after I walked around on Noah, and then I put on the bubble. During the walk, They were scattered in the bubbles, and as I walked in, my bubbles were fused, and the sand stayed here. But—” He pointed to the inner edge of the inner bubble, “Little murloc In the air bubbles in the house itself, there is no silt left by humans entering."

"New..." Xiao Ba seemed to want to refute something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Mihawk stood up and looked into the messy room, "One or several kidnappers knocked on the door of the little mermaid's house and entered this room. He or they didn't have a set of bubbles on them. They took your captain here. sister...you said she has a crystal ball?"

"New, that's what Xia Li used to prophesy things. Xia Li can't control when and what picture she can see. It also disappeared together."

Mihawk folded his arms, "I guess this matter is not as simple as kidnapping and selling mermaids."

7. Chapter 7

The few details Mihawk pointed out convinced Xiao Ba a lot to him. While walking around the small house with a few steps square, he put away a photo frame on the table, while listening to Xiao Ba say more useful things. Information - Charlie's "crystal ball" is just a big glass ball, worthless at all; Charlie's prophecies always come without warning, they vary in size, but usually they are not very good things; Charlie has a conch, and if she blows it, the nearest Murloc Pirates will arrive, but yesterday no one heard the conch and so on.

Mihawk deduced more information from this. After hesitating for a while, he opened another coral bubble to trap himself.Xiao Ba didn't understand his guest's intention at all, but gradually began to believe in the hypothesis that he didn't want to listen to Mihawk in his narration - the person who kidnapped Xia Li might not be a human being at all, but One or more acquaintances Charlie knew.

Even if Mihawk didn't draw any conclusions, Xiaoba guessed that the kidnapper even knew how to guard against the conch that was lost together, which made him angry and ashamed. He should have faced up to this matter earlier, but Like Aaron, he would rather catch all human beings aimlessly than doubt his compatriots. He even got angry at Mihawk who reminded him before.

"New..." Xiao Ba's three hands pointed together, and was about to apologize to his guest, but Mihawk suddenly pulled his head out of the bubble and sucked his nose vigorously.

"Is there a... smell of wine in this room?" Mihawk asked uncertainly.

Xiao Ba also smelled it, and then felt at a loss. Mihawk simply got out of his own coral bubble and put it on Xiao Ba's head. Xiao Ba, who was not used to this, was at a loss until a moment later, His guest poked it straight out again.

"Inhale now—" Mihawk folded his arms and stared at him, "Can you smell it?"

This time Xiaoba nodded firmly, "It smells like wine!"

"The smell is not strong. You will get used to it after staying in the house for a while, and it will become difficult to detect..." Mihawk thought for a while, then dug out a used bubble coral, and used it to absorb some of the house's odor. The air was put away alone again, "It's a pity that the red hair is not here, maybe he can smell what kind of wine it is."

"Nu, thank you for your help." Xiao Ba opened his eyes a little more, "I think, I should ask the neighbors, I guess it was done by an acquaintance, and Xia Li doesn't know many people."

Mihawk picked up his big black knife from the door, and at the same time pointed to the small bed in the room, "I'm a little tired, can I take a nap here first?"

"New, of course," Xiao Ba nodded without thinking, "Anyway, Xia Li is not here."

Mihawk sat on the bed and watched Xiao Ba leave. He didn't go to the door, nor took off his boots, but leaned back with the black knife in his arms, and half-lyed on the hard bed.He looked up at the roof of the small house. It was very damp there, or there were gaps in it due to disrepair. The water droplets dripped on the outer wall of the bubble in the house, flowing down the curved outline, refracting The colorful colors remind him that he is not on land.

Mermaids and murlocs should not be afraid of the tide. Mihawk turned over. He guessed that such a small room was built uniformly when the orphanage was built, and Xiaoba’s room is similar to this one. For adults, if you want to Living for a long time is really cramped.However, an orphanage built directly outside the country may not be expected to be so "humane", and it is inevitable that it will become a lawless place.

Boundless thinking let his mind relax, he yawned, and began to feel sleepy.The itinerary for this day is very fulfilling, but the most energy-consuming thing is not the visit and study in the cultural hall, nor is it spending a lot of effort to repair the big red-haired boat. Mihawk closed his eyes, and dealing with people is too exhausting. Especially to make a murloc who is not familiar with him gradually let go of his guard, and then persuade him to doubt his trusted compatriots.Socializing is not something he can't handle, but he is still more used to being alone. The swordsman moved again, letting most of his body relax on the bed. In the future, he will be strong enough to truly become the number one in the world. When he was a swordsman, could he not have to be like this, and could solve all problems purely with a knife?

This reminded him of the match he had made with the red-haired pirate. Mihawk put his hand into his arms. He knew that he should communicate with the other party and inform him of the important progress in Murloc Street. However, his eyelids The fight has already started, and talking to Shanks seems to be less important, he touched the red phone bug, his consciousness was blurred, he seemed to feel that they were talking, he told him everything, and there are many more in the future With such an opportunity, he might have countless things to say to him, and what's even more amazing is that he might not feel tired—the swordsman's breathing became even, and he fell into a dream that he didn't remember.

Mihawk was awakened by the movement at the door, and at the same time his consciousness returned, his hand had already grasped the handle of the black knife.house door
