Chapter 15: The Tail Line

"Oh, this is the famous Star of the Sea! it tastes so good!" Crockdahl exclaimed, his dry glass dancing up and down with slightly exaggerated emotion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bruno's bar is best known for its special cocktails, all of which are known for their power. The average person will start babbling after a few drinks in a row, not to mention the role he is playing now, but he has drunk more than a dozen different cocktails. I didn't get drunk right away, but I already won the respect of the drinkers here.

Bruno's bar is the name of the bar where Crockdahl is located. The name is very graphic and straightforward, because the owner of this bar is named Bruno.

Anyone who sees Bruno immediately thinks of the cow.

Yes, he's a man like a cow. He is tall and burly, and his hairstyle is upturned like a bull's horns. On the standard rectangular face, the expression seems to be so wooden forever, even the speech is half a beat slower, and the occasional smile is only reminiscent of the word honest.

In addition, Bruno's personality is mild, although he is not good at words, he is a really good person, so among the people of the City of Seven Waters, the reputation is also exceptionally good.

This bar has been open in the City of Seven Waters for five years. The bar is located in a busy area, but the wine sold is delicious and affordable, and the owner Bruno has specially concocted several gold medal cocktails, which makes the business here quite prosperous. Unlike the deserted blue stream, Bruno's bar has become a must-see for tourists.

At this time, Crockdahl was like a most ordinary, slightly drunk guest. It is the kind of tourist who can be seen every day and comes to the capital of seven waters. Although he was dressed in a black suit, it was not very harmonious with the atmosphere of the recent Seven Waters City Carnival, but it was not at all obtrusive.

When I put my hair down, and I no longer have a big back that I comb back, it's better to look like a different person. Finally, coupled with the sunglasses of the disguise god props, unless it is someone who is familiar with him, it is difficult for ordinary people to associate him with the vicious sea thief, Crockdahl.

"Outside! Outside!" The newspaper salesman, holding a large stack of freshly printed additional issues, walked into the bar, shouting and handing out newspapers to those present.

"It was the Straw Hat Pirates who attacked Mr. Iceberg! Our Shuishui News Agency paid a high price for the eyewitness information of that group of people!"

"The prisoner is on this island! Now the shipbuilding company 'Gallay-la' has been fully dispatched to search for him!"

"The newspaper has a portrait of the prisoner on it, and I hope everyone will report it!"

“……”

At this time, both the newspaper and the employees had forgotten the idea of making money, and they worked tirelessly to print the newspaper just to let more people know the news: the murderers of Mr. Iceberg were the "Straw Hat Boys".

Crockdahl took the newspaper and flipped through it casually, in addition to the recent development of the incident, it was Luffy's bounty order. It's the same as in my memory.,It's a pretty funny image.。

With the exception of Crockdahl, the rest of the people in the bar read the newspapers and began to talk indignantly, and some even danced and gave advice.

After the newspaper seller finished handing out the newspaper, he hurried out of the bar and disappeared into the street shouting. On the balcony of a small two-story building next to the street, a woman with black hair and black clothes was flipping through the newspaper that had just arrived, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly under the cover of the newspaper.

"I'm leaving. Putting down the newspaper, the woman said to the empty roof, it was Nicole Robin.

"Oh~Roar!Can't you give up your former partner?" suddenly opened a door on the rooftop, and a man in a mask rose up, the same one that had been there that night.

"No, it's just going to leave and see the scenery again. Nicole Robin put down the newspaper and said lightly.

"Hmph...... Don't play tricks, after all, we're CP9......" The Masked Man sneered, and then disappeared through the door that had risen up.

"Find the Straw Hat Boys and their gang! Hang them all!" Downstairs, the more angry citizens of the Seven Waters City shouted loudly and responded to their calls.

The voice of denouncing the Straw Hats spread far away in the growing wind. In addition to the sound being carried farther and farther away, the wind also stirred the hair next to Nicole Robin's ears.

Her hair was gently swaying, like her heart fluttering.

Nicole Robin stared ahead, but her eyes were empty and unfocused.

……

"Ahh

"Hey, hey, be quiet!" Sanji shouted, "Didn't you find out, is the whole city now searching?"

"Huh, search?" Chopper looked up suspiciously.

"Well, yes, hunt down the Straw Hat Kid Luffy and his gang......" Sanji picked up the newspaper in his hand and looked at it, nodded and said.

"Oh, it's a pirate hunt, Straw Hat Kid Luffy......" Chopper nodded.

But the next moment, the two of them jumped up together in shock, and at the same time couldn't help yelling: "Ale! aren't we just the Straw Hats?!"

"What?!Did the Straw Hats show up?" The eyes of the people around them turned their eyes instantly, but all they saw were their own people, and where the voice came from before, a small whirlwind was still circling.

"Luffy, this stupid guy, what did he do, and the whole city was chasing him...... "Gritting his teeth, Sanji and Chopper hid in the corner of an alley, gasping for breath.

"Oh no," Chopper gasped......, too, gasping for breath, but then he thought of something, and exclaimed, "If they're going to hunt down, they'll go to the Rock Gorge, right......?"

"Don't worry, Chopper......" Sanji leaned his back against the wall and looked up at the sky, "Usopp is not as cowardly as he seems! ”

"But that's Usopp! And there's the Merry!" cried Chopper again.

"You don't understand what I mean, Chopper. Sanji took out his cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and said, "Usopp won't give up on the Merry, so he will definitely fix it himself, so that the captors won't find him." And the Merry is so worn, it must be treated like a ship that we have discarded, right? Even if he was still on board, he would have hid and there would be no problem. ”

"Good! that's amazing!" Chopper listened to Sanji's reasoning, and instantly turned into starry eyes.

"Okay, if you want to like it, let's talk about it later. Now it's imperative to join Luffy and the others, let's go, Chopper. Sanji threw away the cigarette butt and stomped on it.

"Yes! I smell Luffy!" Chopper said, stepping out first.

"I don't know what happened, Miss Robin will be fine......" Sanji's brows furrowed, worried in his heart, and followed behind Chopper.

The figures of the two people squeezed into the crowd, and the figure of Nicole Robin, whom Sanji was thinking about, also appeared, and it seemed that after hesitating for a while, he silently followed.

And behind Nicole Robin, Crockdahl is also following suit.

He went to Bruno's bar, not only to try the famous cocktails, but also to find Robin. From what he learned about the plot, he knew that Robin was with Bruno at this time.

In addition to being the bar owner of the City of Seven Waters, Bruno is the same as Rob Lucci, Kaku, and Carifa, who are also lurking here, and his secret identity is the secret department of the World Government, a spy of CP9. And their purpose is the same as that of Crockdahl, which is the blueprint of the ancient weapon Hades.

Since learning domineering, I don't know if it's because of talent, Crockdahl has gained a special ability. And this ability is based on his Devil Fruit ability, and it seems to have some flavor of seeing and hearing.

That is, he can sense the position of his sand. And you don't have to see it with your own eyes, you can sense things within a certain range just by relying on sand. And when the sand fills a certain space, he can even develop a sense of control over the space.

It's like a hunter's world, a circle of mental ability.

Of course, the formation of this ability is also likely to be influenced by the power system in other different worlds that he knows. Just like the ability to think, there are many similarities with domineering, which has been of great help to him in cultivating and developing the application of domineering.

Just as he left the sand on Frankie when he met him, Crockdahl succeeded in leaving his own sand on Bruno by dressing up as a normal tourist who came here to drink.

Although his current level, this ability can only be sensed within a distance of fifty meters, and beyond a distance of fifty meters, he cannot sense clearly, and can only know the general direction, and at a distance of more than five hundred meters, he can't even sense the direction of the sand, but this is enough.

As he had guessed, Robin's ability to escape, and for ease of surveillance, the place where she was located was not far from Bruno's bar. Or rather, in the small building across the street from the bar.

Even though Bruno used the door fruit back and forth, it couldn't block Crockdahl's ability, allowing him to easily find Robin's location.

Originally, according to what he originally thought, it would be good to take Robin away directly. When the time comes, whether it is learning the methods of CP9, using Luffy and others to threaten, or using ancient texts to lure, or grinding hard bubbles to get closer to feelings, there will always be a way to get the key to unlock Hades.

And Crockdahl is also confident that when Robin is taken away, he will not leave any traces. But all these plans, when he saw Robin's lonely expression, instantly smoked. He didn't know why he was soft-hearted, and looking at Robin's appearance, he actually had a feeling of heartache and pity.

Just in time for Robin to go out, Crockdahl ghostly followed. He didn't know why he was following her, was it out of curiosity, or was it ......

Crockdahl put his right hand on his heart, feeling the beating of the heart in his chest, and somehow, he was a little nervous, and his palm became a little sticky.

That expression...... It's lonely......"
