After some negotiations, the three began to go their separate ways, and since the other party was trying to cause chaos, it was natural to follow his script.

Kitagawa left the cabin as if nothing had happened, and went to the deck.

Camicia handed the stabbing sword with the broken hilt to Rama and left the place...

A veteran of many years of warfare and a highly skilled 'Vigia Assassin', he is adept at killing opponents with any object around him, and is quite adept at repairing damaged weapons.

...

"Captain Higgs! We'll probably be able to enter the Thundering Strait tonight, shall we get some rest outside before then? Once inside, until you leave the strait, I'm afraid there will be no chance to rest..."

Lancet suggested.

"Is there a place to stop outside the canyon?"

Kitagawa scratched his head with some distress, the situation on the ship is a bit complicated now, and Camicia's suggestion is not entirely correct, if you can take a break and sort out your thoughts, it is indeed a good choice.

It's best that the foremast can also be repaired there, so it's best ...

Lancet thought for a moment and said:

"I don't know the specifics of this, but when I was young, I heard the old man on the ship say that there is a small hidden pier outside the Thundering Strait, and I don't remember the exact location very clearly, but it should be easy to find near the north shore..."

"Are you sure?"

"Actually, I'm not sure if there is, but it's at least a try, isn't it?"

"That's right... We had plenty of food and plenty of time to look for on the South Bank. ”

Kitagawa nodded approvingly.

When Lancet heard this, he took out the chart and compass and began to calculate the bearing:

"Well, then, if we head in this direction now, we will probably be able to see land in the evening."

Kitagawa and Lancet studied the charts and went back to the captain's room...

Now he was thinking about one thing, if it was true that someone had mixed in without knowing it, as Rama had said, how could that person complete the day in his place without the person's knowledge?

If it doesn't work, Beichuan simply doesn't think about it,

Anyway, in this kind of incident, his detective technique can come in handy, he can test it every day, he can see three people a day, he really doesn't believe that guy can hide from the 'detective technique'...

During the cautious period just now, he looked at Kamikia and Rama, and found that these two people had no problem at all, and it was indeed a good deity.

So! Here's the problem, now that Beichuan has one chance to use the exploration technique, this time he must act carefully.

Day after tomorrow! It is the day to enter the Thundering Strait.

The sooner you find out the guy lurking in the crowd, the sooner you can concentrate on the dangers in the strait.

Although Kitagawa doesn't think that guy has the heart to drag everyone to send the outlaw to death together...

"Mr. Higgs!"

The voice outside the door was Ken's voice, and he seemed to have promised him a satisfactory explanation before, but now that this file is out again, Beichuan can't help but hesitate a little.

"Please come in!"

Ken pushed open the door and walked in

"Captain Higgs! Is it possible to fulfill what you promised me? ”

Sure enough, Ken threw out the topic as soon as he came in.

"Uh-huh... It's time to tell you! ”

Beichuan nodded, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, it seems that today's last exploration technique will not be left.

(All for the sake of purity within the organization!) ）

The light in his eyes flickered, and the expression on Kitagawa's face did not change in the slightest.

I saw him stand up and say:

"Ken! I remember you fought Dragon Mountain once! I'm curious to see how it won..."

"Does it have anything to do with that energy?"

Ken looked at Kitagawa Dao suspiciously.

"Yes..."

Kitagawa took a few steps forward to Ken's side.

"That battle, naturally he won, isn't the result obvious?"

...

"Hmmm! That said... You've been on our ship since then, haven't you? ”

Kitagawa's voice came from behind Ken, and it turned out that this guy had already walked to the door and faintly blocked the hatch.

"Captain Higgs! I don't know what you're talking about? ”

Ken seemed surprised.

"Say it! Where did the real Ken go? ”

The 'Ken' in front of him looked at Beichuan in surprise and then suddenly laughed, and his voice gradually became familiar:

"Hehe... Sure enough, you have some kind of secret method of probing. ”

"Ken! Where did it go? ”

The guy's voice changed, and Beichuan didn't pay attention to it and continued to ask.

"Ken? Kill？ Isn't that me? ”

Ken spread his hands and said innocently.

"You're not!"

Beichuan said coldly.

When he was still in Tiha before, Kitagawa used a probing technique on the whole ship, and the result was that there was really a cook named Ken on the ship!

"Alright! You've seen through it, I'm not..."

Ken said with a hippie smile.

"So where is he?"

"Well, then I'll have to ask God..."

"To be honest, I wasn't optimistic about your broken ship when I got on the ship, a low-grade cargo eliminated by a cross-border brigade, and I even wanted to rely on it to cross the Thundering Strait to Aaron?

But in order to avoid the pursuit of the Golden Fang Boss, I could only barely get on the boat, and I wanted to leave at Tiha, who would have thought that I would see the strangeness of this ship along the way, the skull of the king of the near sea at the bow, right? That's what the speed of this broken ship has increased by nearly half!

But what's even more interesting! This thing... It actually attracted the salivation of the first ship of the right wing of the reverse shark, the king of the horns, Lut! And the one who cooperated with the Reverse Shark Pirates turned out to be the second prince of Nord, His Excellency Arion.

Hmm~ That makes things more interesting..."

Kitagawa frowned and interrupted the man in front of him:

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"I've got a crush on that skull! How about giving it to me? ... Don't look at me like that, Ken's situation is not good. ”

The man in front of him replied with a wicked smile.

Beichuan's face changed:

"Are you threatening me?"

"Huh! You can think of it this way... Belch! What is it? ”

The man looked at the blood-red spikes that pierced his chest in amazement, and his eyes began to drift...

Kitagawa's hand shook, and blood was scattered on the floor along with the scattered pieces of wood on the wall.

【True Red: Blade of Blood】

Kitagawa had been inherited from the blacksmith Linus, and it seemed a little thin to summon the 'Blade of Flesh' with his bare hands, but even so, the sword pierced through the wall behind him after passing through the body of the 'knife'.

"Is 'a knife'? I admire your courage! ”

Hearing the sound, Camicia, Mir, and Claude, who were repairing the hull of the ship, quickly rushed here

But he saw Beichuan walking out with his bloodstained right hand, and Ken fell to the ground with an arm-thick hole in his chest.

"Captain!?"

The crowd was shocked.

"The hidden danger has been solved, go and save Ken, he is tied to the stern!"

"Huh? So who is this person?

"You'll know when you go to the stern!"

Kitagawa said unusually calmly.
