Chapter 22: Arrest
Walking on the road in front of the houses of the Seven Waters City, the waterway on the side is full of boats carried by Blue.
At the beginning of a new day, the residents of the City of Seven Waters are getting busy.
Today is a little different from the past, because the 'gods of water' are coming.
The so-called gods of water are actually a great tsunami that will sweep through the entire capital of seven waters.
It was originally a catastrophe, but with the wisdom of man, the gods of water became a treasure.
A huge tsunami will sweep through the city of seven waters, and residents will choose to take shelter in the back streets or take a sea train to leave the city.
When a tsunami strikes, the entire capital of the Seven Waters is washed away, the streets are spotless, and the houses are washed clean, which improves the sanitation of the entire city and greatly reduces the chance of disease outbreaks.
Moreover, this erosion is once a year, so it is rare for large-scale infectious diseases to break out in the capital of the seven waters.
Not only that, but the tsunami will wash fish from other seas, which makes the fishing resources of the capital of seven waters very rich, and more than 30% of the civilians in the seven cities depend on fishing for their livelihood.
The gods of water have other benefits, and because of this, the civilians of the capital of the seven waters have not given up on this sinking island, which is too rich in resources.
After professional meteorological detection, the gods of water will appear tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow at the latest.
The gods of water have an extraordinary significance to the inhabitants of the Seven Waters City, and every year before the arrival of the water gods, the Seven Waters City holds a celebration.
People put on gorgeous costumes, masks and headdresses, cover their bodies and head to the city center.
Every year in the city center, there is a celebration similar to a masquerade, where commoners come to pray and pray to the god of water to bless them.
This year was the same, with a large blue-and-blue-drawn boat swam in the waterway from time to time, filled with residents dressed in ornate costumes and wearing wooden masks.
The gatherings in the center of the city have some sacrificial forms, so the style of the masks is more solemn, after all, it is a sacrifice to the gods.
Su Xiao came to a tavern near Center Street and pushed the door of the tavern, which was full of guests.
This made Su Xiao stunned, and after exiting the tavern, he took out the map to check, yes, this is it.
The wooden sign placed next to the door of the tavern caught Su Xiao's attention.
'On the day of the celebration of the gods of water, the drinks are half price. ’
So that's the case, Su Xiao still wondered how this tavern could have so many customers.
Entering the tavern and coming to the bar, CP9's agent Bruno is busy behind the bar, looking like a bartender.
"Big Brother Bruno, have another drink."
A drunk man bangs on the bar with an empty cup, looking impatient.
Bruno took the wine glass and refilled it for the drunk, and when he handed the wine glass to the drunk, he happened to see Su Xiao sitting in front of the bar.
"Guest, what do you want to drink?"
"Rum."
Bruno nodded and handed over a glass of rum.
After a while, Bruno knocked on the bar, drawing the eyes of all the guests.
"It's half past nine, and it's almost time for the celebration, and the tavern is going to be closed."
Hearing Bruno's words, the guest door in the tavern was visibly unhappy.
"Closes later, you're having a good time."
"yes, you miser, it's half price, and we haven't emptied the cellar yet."
There was laughter in the tavern, and Bruno smiled.
Though somewhat reluctant, the guests in the tavern paid the bill and left one after another, and Bruno began to clean up the mess.
"You should ...... Won't be coming back here again, is it necessary. ”
Su Xiao sat in front of the bar and drank a small drink, Bruno didn't make a sound, lowered his head and continued to clean up the tavern.
It wasn't until the tavern was spotlessly cleaned and all the quilts were wiped clean that Bruno walked to the back of the bar, took off his coat and folded it neatly, and placed it on the bar.
Bruno pressed his hand to his shirt and closed his eyes in contemplation, and when he opened his eyes, there was not much emotion in those eyes, he had reappeared from a bartender to a secret agent, he had been a tavern for five years, and even ...... Some are accustomed to this kind of life.
"Come with me, we can't be directly exposed to other people's eyes, there are many people in the capital of seven waters who recognize me."
Walking into the room at the back of the tavern, two sets of celebratory clothes were placed on a wooden table, complete with masks and headdresses.
Su Xiao picked up the mask on the table, it was a white mask, except for the holes and graffiti in the eyes, the other positions were pale.
The clothes are gorgeous, but they can be just as much of a nuisance, but this brightly colored robe hides all the features of the body like body shape.
"We can wait here, the entrances of the Seven Waters City are already full of eyeliners, as long as the Straw Hat Pirates land on the island, we will receive the news as soon as possible."
Su Xiao nodded, found a chair and sat down, and when he saw the costume prepared by Bruno, he guessed the plan for the future, waiting for the Straw Hat Pirates to land on the island, and then capture Nicole Robin.
The wait was a bit long, and more than two hours passed and no news came.
Su Xiao leaned back in a chair and played a puzzle game with a tablet in his hand.
"Bourr, Bolu, Bolu......"
The phone bug in Bruno's arms rang, and when he picked it up, the phone bug said a string of numbers.
"Got it."
Bruno hung up the phone bug, and he deciphered what the numbers meant.
"The Straw Hat Pirates have landed on the island, in the direction of the back street, and Nicole Robin has disembarked and is shopping with a blue-nosed reindeer."
"No one else around?"
"There are a few suspicious people, and there should be other forces that have also discovered Nicole Robin."
Su Xiao didn't say anything more, and put on the celebration costume neatly.
"Your dog."
Bruno looked at Bubutney.
"No problem, it can follow from afar."
Bubutni screamed twice, he was not very good at fighting Bubutney, but if he said that he was hiding, Su Xiao couldn't find it after Bubutni hid, and these two goods could always hide in an unbelievable position.
In the crevices of the caves, in the wooden boxes of the old ships, Bubutni even pretended to be a sculpture, in short, only the enemy could not think of it, and there was no place where it could not hide.
Bruno didn't say anything more, Su Xiao's position was higher than him, he had no right to command or order Su Xiao, and he had to protect Su Xiao's safety throughout the whole process, now Su Xiao was an important scientific researcher, but even now Bruno didn't know why Su Xiao wanted to participate in this mission.
Leaving the tavern, the two went straight to the back street, during which Bruno's phone beeped several more times,
Arriving at a road in the back street, Bruno's footsteps stopped.
"According to Nicole Robin's route, Nicole Robin must pass by here."
Su Xiao looked around, and the face on his face had some impact on his vision. Pedestrians are constantly passing through the road.
Soon, a combination of one man and one deer appeared in sight, it was Robin and Chopper.
Su Xiao and Bruno walked head-on.
