"Do you know a pirate named Little Thief Cat?"

Bang!

The question was like a thunderclap in Karina's ears, her head buzzing, her pupils shrank sharply, and her breathing became heavy in that moment.

Little thief cat?

This nickname is actually not too uncommon, and it is not surprising to find ten around the world.

However, if you add the qualifications "East China Sea" and "Pirates", then it refers to only one person.

- Straw Hat Kid Pirates Navigator Kitty Thief Cat Nami!

And her former friend!

But......

Why would this man know this!?

However, she still regained her consciousness in an instant, trying not to make the change in her expression obvious.

No matter who it is, try not to be taken away by the other party in the rhythm of the conversation, otherwise it will be very passive.

Passive, that's what she doesn't like.

"Oh...... It seems that yes, I'm really not good at reading words and feelings......"

Mr. Half-Fish Man shook his head and said as if sighing: "But fortunately, my attainments in physical skills and perception are quite good, and your physiological reaction at the moment of hearing the name of the little thief cat is quite violent, it seems that ...... Do you know her?"

"Little thief cat?"

Trist on the side was slightly stunned for a moment, and then carefully looked at the fox on the other side, and said secretly in her heart: "Little thief cat? It seems to be a navigator on Lord Harut's ship, but I have tried it, and he has no feelings beyond friendship with her, which can be relieved a little, and maybe I can take a roundabout route." ”

"But ......"

"Now I kind of understand why Lord Harut brought her here. ”

Where is Harut so merciful and cherishing the jade.

Once he touched his bottom line, he would beat the woman correctly, hadn't she been beaten before?

"Ah, I suddenly miss Lord Harut's fist......"

Trist stroked her face with some nostalgia.

“……！”

Karina sensed Triest's reaction and suddenly felt a chill.

!

This guy is hopeless!

Calming down, she quickly thought again.

So far, this man has shown no ill will, so he can basically be divided into the neutral camp.

Then, the man never said my name from beginning to end, and didn't seem to know me, so he must have recognized me by other means.

I didn't leave a picture of Nami, and even if Nami had talked about me, he wouldn't have recognized me instantly, which was a very unlikely thing.

So......

He recognized me the moment I touched him?

Devil Fruit Abilities?

Ability to view memories?

In this moment, Karina thought of this.

But...... There is also a possibility.

The other party knows Nami.

“……！”

Hey!?

Thinking about it along these lines, Karina instantly felt that the other party was suspicious, and raised her head to observe Harut.

"Uh......!?"

Sure enough, at this time, she found a key point!

"Your horn...... It's not an ornament, is it?"

"Naturally not, then, beauty, can you go have a drink with me?"

Mr. Half-Fishman smiled and made a "please" gesture at the same time.

"Rheinharut!"

There was a slight look of shock on Karina's face, and she lowered her voice: "I didn't expect it to be you!"

Yes!

Maybe I didn't see his face clearly, maybe he has grown a lot taller in the past two years, but the two horns on his head can be said to be like a marker!

There are not many normal humans in this world who have horns!

In connection with the previous words, it was not too difficult for Karina to recognize Harut.

After all, if her head was bad, she wouldn't be able to live today, you must know that this is a great waterway full of dangers!

However, for the time being, it is a relief.

Since it's an acquaintance's partner, it's okay to be safe, right?

Karina breathed a sigh of relief.

Entering the restaurant, despite the envious gazes of everyone, Harut "hugged left and right", found a remote position, snapped his fingers, and beckoned to the waiter.

"What do you want to drink?"

The half-fishman asked.

"I'll drink whatever the Phantom-sama drinks. Trist sat across from Harut and said with a slight smile, not afraid of Harut's liquor or something.

However, as the captain of a boat, Trist has drunk a lot of wine, and it is still the same sentence, a woman who begs for a living on the sea, unless she is a woman who relies on men, can break out of her own fame, and naturally has her own ability, and she can do what a man can do, or even do better, otherwise she will not be able to control so many people under her command at all.

"Black tea is fine. ”

Although they were acquaintances, Karina was quite cautious.

"In that case, let's have three cups of black tea, and if you're going to have a snack, just come to your signature dim sum. Mr. Half-Fish turned to the waitress who came to the side with a smile.

The waitress nodded, and after discovering the mask on Harut's face, she didn't say anything, and after confirming that Harut and the others had no other requests, she turned and left.

"By the way, how did you recognize me?"

Karina couldn't help but ask the question, "Could it be that you are some kind of special devil fruit ability?"

If it's a Devil Fruit like mind-reading, that's really disgusting, right?

"Ha ......"

Mr. Half-Fish Man chuckled, crossed his hands to support his chin and smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, I said it, I have some experience in physical arts, especially body control and the like, and the memory is okay, so ......"

"As long as I've learned some skills, I can turn them into instincts, and it just so happens that I've been in the East China Sea with someone for half a year, so—"

"You recognized this trick the moment I stole it!?"

Karina's face was already full of shock at this time, and she couldn't help but say, "This is too foul, isn't it?

"Hahaha......"

Mr. Half-Fishman shook his head reservedly, "It's nothing, as long as you turn your physical skills into instinct, after reaching my realm, you will find that these things are actually very simple, as for not even looking at them...... Well, you've heard of being domineering, right?"

"I've heard of it, but even this kind of power can't easily make people recognize the details of other people's techniques in the 'blind' state!"

Karina took a light breath, a hint of shock still lingering in her eyes.

She doesn't know how to see and hear domineering, but in the entertainment city of Guran Tezzolo, the world's largest gold cave, she has naturally seen many domineering users.

However, she has never seen one who can do this to this extent.

Perhaps, those Four Emperors or the Navy will have this kind of talent, right?

Nami's partner, a friend from his youth, has this ability?

“——！”

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the plan she had destroyed because of the sudden arrival of the golden lion had the possibility of realizing it.

When he looked at Harut again, a deep longing came out of his eyes.

This man!

This pirate group!

I'm going to decide!

PS: Send a red envelope for the New Year, although it is not as good as the big guys, Penguin number: 542,398,810, about twelve o'clock. Though...... I also think there are not many people who read this book.23333
