Back in the house,

Anna looked at Raymond with a calm expression, still gnawing on a fish steak without a heart.

She blinked and said, "You're calmer than I thought. ”

With an indifferent expression, Raymond put down the bare fish bones in his hand and wiped the grease on his fingers on the tablecloth.

"If you really want to spread it, I'm afraid you have to worry even more if it's Mentor Anna... Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation? ”

"If it's ruined, it's ruined..."

Anna looked equally indifferent.

All her thoughts are on revenge, and she has no intention of talking about marriage at all.

So she doesn't care about her reputation at all,

It's better that no one bothers her.

Thinking about it, she felt that she should explain more to her rumored boyfriend, and said: "Dunn's family is very powerful, and there are already many big names who have come to help him match... However, I refused. ”

Speaking of this, Anna pursed her lips and said helplessly: "But if I continue to entangle, I am afraid that the Duke will come to help persuade me to marry him... When the time comes, I will either marry him, or I will have to choose to leave the academy. ”

"Oh."

Raymond naturally knows the background of this Dunn,

The second generation of nobles...

The eldest son of Philip's family of military ministers.

However, this person's character is not as bright as it seems, and it is still very dirty.

Anna's choice to reject her was also the right choice.

Anna shrugged and said, "You know, I can't leave the territory until I get the treasure map. ”

Raymond replied lightly, "Hmm." ”

Anna blinked, curious, "You're not worried about what I just did... Causing you unnecessary trouble? ”

"My reputation in the academy is already bad, how bad can it be?"

Raymond had a bald face and was not afraid of fleas, stared directly at Anna's light blue eyes, and said: "What's more, you will still be my navigator in the future, as the captain of the ship, I should have helped you shelter from the wind and rain." ”

Now it seems that the scumbag dramas I watched in my previous life are not completely useless.

At least this kind of flirtatious line will come as soon as you open your mouth.

"Giggle..."

Anna smiled brightly when she heard this, and her eyes were like silk.

"Your mouth is so sweet, no wonder Erin always can't help but praise you..."

Raymond rolled his eyes, ignoring the stubble.

suddenly

He thought of the secret letter he had received from Teabeard,

also told me all about the plan to throw the corpse of the water tower.

"By the way, Mentor Anna, I almost forgot something. I stumbled upon someone preparing to spread the 'plague' in my territory... I've seen this virus in an old book, and it turns people into bloodthirsty zombies, and it's extremely contagious..."

Thinking that he would not be able to come forward, he handed the letter to Anna and said, "If this 'plague' spreads, I am afraid that the whole territory will suffer." ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”

Anna frowned when she heard this, and muttered, "Could it be that the royal capital did it?" ”

"The people of the royal capital do it?"

Raymond never knew what the use of the mastermind behind the scenes was doing this, but listening to her say this, he suddenly realized something.

"If I'm not mistaken, the people behind the scenes want to use this method to make the Duke submit."

Anna apparently knows more about the inside story,

There was a solemn look on her face.

......

And at this moment, somewhere in the Black Sea.

The Vulture Pirates' Huxship Island is floating aimlessly on the surface of the sea.

In the captain's room,

The regimental commander, Jeff One-Eyed, and a group of pirate henchmen were kneeling on the floor, waiting for instructions.

One by one, they trembled and turned pale with fright.

They dare not imagine,

The super strong man in front of him who can kill the sea king with one sword,

Returned with a serious injury!

In this Black Sea, there is still an existence that can hurt him?

Could it be that the legendary Deepsea Monster has appeared?

"Damn, when did a backcountry like the Black Sea have such a level of master..."

Hawke scolded angrily, but couldn't help but cough again.

Drops of blood fell down the lower edge of the mask onto the floor, quickly staining a large patch red.

Obviously, the injury was not light.

He felt that he was dignified as the "Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty", and coming to the Black Sea to recover the "forbidden items" would have been regarded as an idle trip...

I thought that except for the half-dead old vampire in Philip's territory, there was nothing in the entire Black Sea that could threaten his existence anymore.

But I didn't expect such a top master to appear out of thin air.

"What is the origin of that silver-haired stinky woman? The extraordinary ability to predict the opponent's attack is a bit like a 'battle prophet'... But there seem to be only a few places for the inheritance of this mysterious potion sequence..."

Hawke thought back to the previous battle, and if it weren't for the woman's lack of intent to kill them all, he might have lost his life in a remote place like the Black Sea.

The cold eyes behind the mask were cloudy.

He really couldn't figure it out,

A master of this level can be regarded as a top powerhouse in the Endless Sea,

Why have you never heard of it?

"Could it be that she came out of 'there'?"

Hawke suddenly thought of a possibility, and then shook his head and denied himself.

"If she were from the World Government, her identity would make sense, but she had no reason to do anything to me..."

Ever since he met the woman at sea yesterday, he had been puzzled.

The other party obviously came here to find himself, but why didn't he ask or say anything, just beat himself up and left?

If everyone is here for the "forbidden thing", at least she should ask, right?

In this remote area of the Black Sea, apart from the forbidden objects, what else is worth staying for that kind of strong person?

Hawke couldn't figure it out, and his thoughts were disturbed, making him feel more and more uneasy.

pondered for a while, but to no avail,

He then turned to Jeff One-Eyed and asked, "Has anything strange happened in the nearby waters lately?" Or maybe something powerful? ”

Hearing the inquiry,

Only then did the one-eyed Jeff dare to raise his head.

He hurriedly poured out the information he had gathered.

"Returning to your lordship... Last night, in Philip's territory, the Golden Fang Pirates and the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce went head-to-head, and there was a lot of commotion... I heard that a vice president of the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce had died, and the Tianlan King Capital was also alarmed. As for the rest... Well, it seems that the codex of the first swordsman in the Black Sea 'Sodros' appeared back then, and there was a lot of commotion..."

"It's just a little pirate group..."

Hawke ignored the information of this unruly pirate group, and instead listened to the second half of the sentence.

"Sodros? That guy's swordsmanship is not bad. I didn't expect him to actually walk out of such a barren small place with a kendo inheritance. It's a pity that I fell into the devil for a sword..."

On kendo talent alone,

There are only a handful of people in the world who can compare with the seven martial seas of this king,

This Sodros is one of them.

Hawke's eyes showed a little sympathy.

Thinking about it, he had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly seemed to have grasped some key point again.

"The one you just said... Is the conflict between the Whale Chamber of Commerce and the Golden Fang Pirates because you robbed their merchant ships? ”

After a pause, he continued to ask, "What did you get last time you robbed the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"Yes! I heard that the dead vice president of the giant whale came for this lost cargo. ”

Jeff touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and didn't dare to hide it: "However, the last robbery was dominated by the Golden Fang's people, and we vultures were only responsible for surrounding and intercepting them." As for what the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce lost, it is not clear what the small one is. Heard... It seems to be a 'devil fruit'. ”

"Devil Fruits?"

Hawke muttered, not much interested, and said to himself, "If it's a Devil Fruit, that woman should be even less interested." ”

After a few more questions, Jeff didn't say anything valuable.

Hawke instead asked, "How happened to the last time you were asked to investigate?" ”

Jeff said, "That notebook must have been taken by the three people who escaped last time... I've sent someone to investigate and ruled out the kid named Faeron. The most likely thing should be that it fell into the hands of Duke Philip's daughter, or perhaps it was back in the hands of Archduke Philip. Of course, I also sent someone to the civilian boy you specifically instructed us to capture..."

Hawke's heart was faintly uneasy,

He always had a faint feeling in his heart that something terrible would happen in this Black Sea...
