Compared to the hustle and bustle of the night market in Tanal Town, the nights in Baishan Town on Chukilik Island are obviously much calmer.
Victor stood on the deck with his hands in his pockets, feeling the refreshing sea breeze of the summer night. Suddenly, a coat was put on his shoulders, and Wu Hongji's voice came from behind:
"Victor, be careful of catching a cold."
Victor smiled slightly and turned to look at Wu Hongji, whose face was slightly red: "Why don't you go to sleep for a while?"
"Everyone is awake and waiting in the cabin. Since you said we will see you in the evening, we naturally believe it." Wu Hongji smiled, and then looked for a topic unnaturally:
"Speaking of which, is it really okay to just give this 'Red Siam' to me like this? This is one of the fifty treasures of good fortune."
Victor leaned on the railing at the edge of the deck and said gently: "You are my important partner. It's just fifty wages for a good property. It's not worth mentioning."
Wu Hongji's face turned redder and redder, and she was hesitantly trying to say something. Suddenly she got excited, turned her head and looked at the sea not far away, and murmured to herself:
"Strange...it seems like something...is approaching? It's a very strong feeling!"
Victor nodded with satisfaction: "Xiao Wu, your progress in knowledge and sex is getting faster and faster. Perona and Robin are far inferior to you in this aspect. You guys stay on standby on the deck first, and I will go and 'greet' you."
With that said, he jumped off the Beagle and landed firmly on the pier.
In Victor's perception, a strong and majestic 'sound' was rapidly approaching the offshore area of Chukilik Island from the deep sea.
This 'voice' is so strong that since Victor was born, he has only seen one being that can compare with it - the former King Shichibukai, Moonlight Moria!
Getting closer! In less than ten seconds, the owner of this ‘sound’ has arrived at the port of Baishan Town.
Wow!
Along with the gentle sound of water flowing, a huge figure slowly emerged from the water.
This is a huge male fishman with a height of 4 meters. He wears a black yukata embroidered with cloud patterns, wooden geta on his feet, and a rope tied around his waist; his skin is light mint green seaweed color, and he is combed into
The hair in a bun is dark green and black seaweed color, the eyebrows are lightning-shaped, the face is extremely ferocious and ferocious, and the ferocious eyes are filled with evil aura.
"I've finally waited for you, the mysterious doctor of Baishan Town." Victor, standing directly in front of the giant fish-man, showed a gentle smile.
The fish-man stared at Victor coldly, grinning slightly, revealing a mouth full of sharp white teeth:
"...Your 'voice' is too noisy."
The hoarse and deep voice was exactly the same as his appearance.
"This can only be because your 'knowledge' is too strong, dear doctor." Victor smiled slightly: "Can we chat?"
The fishman glanced at the deck of the Beagle, then looked at Victor for a long time, and nodded:
"...Come with me."
After saying that, he picked up an extremely huge waterproof backpack from the water, put it on his shoulders and walked towards the dense jungle on the east side of Chukilik Island.
Victor snapped his fingers to the deck, and then everyone walked down to the dock tremblingly.
Luo's face turned pale and he said: "Master... is that the legendary mysterious doctor? Why do I feel cold all over when I look at him?"
Wu Hongji's face didn't look good either: "I don't feel very good either. I feel like I'm facing an ancient ferocious beast."
Perona approached Victor and was horrified to find a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, and murmured: "Brother, is that guy really so scary?"
Victor exhaled: "So strong... This man is definitely not much weaker than Mr. Moria. Let's go, I want to have a good chat with him."
Under the leadership of Victor, everyone entered the dense jungle of Chukilik Island.
…………
Lemea Jungle, Hermit's Cabin.
Although it is said to be a hut, it is actually 8 meters high. But it is nothing compared with the surrounding tropical trees that often rise 10 meters upward.
After Victor and his party took off their shoes at the entrance, they sat in the living room and watched quietly as the fishman doctor put down his backpack and boiled water to make tea.
Not long after, a steaming cup of tea was placed in front of everyone.
"What do you want from me?" The fish man sat down at the table, looked around at everyone, and then said:
"It does not appear that any of you are seriously ill or incurably injured."
"Please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Mafia Victor. I am from Xihai. I am currently the leader of a small chamber of commerce." Victor straightened his clothes and said with a smile.
The fishman looked at Victor and spoke slowly: "You don't have to be so self-effacing, 'Vicious Chain' Maffia Victor, I have read the news about you. Many people are saying that you faked the story of defeating King Shichibukai.
Fake news is here to gain fame and sensationalism. But in my opinion, they are the ones who are really stupid.”
"I don't deserve the praise." Victor bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude.
"My name is 'Haoxue'." The fish man touched the tea cup and took a sip of the steaming tea: "People call me 'Haizotou'. You can call me whatever you want."
"Then I won't beat around the bush." Victor said solemnly: "I would like to invite you to become the ship's doctor of the Beagle!"
Haoxue raised his lightning-shaped eyebrows: "It's really straightforward. Then I'll just go ahead and give you a reason to join you."
"In 24 days, the Capital of the Seven Waters will welcome a judicial ship, and the principal criminal of the case that the presiding judge will hear this time is a shipbuilder named 'Tom'." Victor responded seemingly without answering the question.
Haoxue opened her eyes slightly, then slowly put down the teacup in her hand, rubbed her chin and sighed:
"I see...are you too...? Victor, come out with me."
After saying that, Haoxue stood up and walked out of the hut.
Victor waved to the others that it was okay, then got up and followed Haoxue outside the house.
The two walked quietly for more than ten minutes, one behind the other, and came to an open space, where they could clearly see the huge full moon above their heads.
Haoxue took out a long pipe and a small bag of cut tobacco from his arms. He slowly filled the pipe with cut tobacco and then gently pressed it until the pipe was half full. He repeated this three times until it was full of cut tobacco. He took out a match and lit the cut tobacco and took two puffs.
.
After a long while, he asked: "...What did you see in me?"
"Mr. Haoxue, you are the sworn brother of Tom the shipbuilder, right?" Victor didn't hide anything and said it openly.
"Haha... As expected, he is born with the domineering power of knowledge and knowledge." Haoxue grinned slightly and showed a terrifying smile:
"I didn't expect that there is a second person in the world who is born with the color of knowledge and knowledge. This is much rarer than the color of the overlord."
"From what you're saying, do you know another person who is born with knowledge and sex?"
"...That's right." Haoxue puffed out a puff of smoke with a nostalgic look on his face:
"The Princess of Fish-Man Island—Empress Otohime."
