Chapter 82: The Eleventh Day of the New World This is not the one we joined for love...

New World Day 11:

When Wendy heard about Lola's news, she curiously snatched the newspaper from Hawkeye's hand and started reading.

The newspaper did not mention Lola's name, but said that Big Mom's daughter ran away from home and her marriage to the Elbaf Titan was annulled, resulting in the failure of the marriage between the two families.

As for the person that Big Mom desperately tried to bring out to marry someone else...

"She's Lola's twin sister, right?" Wendy looked at Abigail floating beside her. "Twins are hard to tell apart. You can't even tell Abigail and me apart, even with Ryu and Mihawk."

...You mean the state of the soul? In that case, no one can tell, right? — Hawkeye refuted in his heart.

As for the other news in the newspaper...

"But when did I become Uncle Garp's daughter?" Wendy asked in confusion.

Morgans's choice of photos was also very skillful. He chose the scene where Wendy hugged Hawkeye's waist and confronted the angry Garp with an unhappy look on her face. The relationship can be seen at a glance.

"Don't worry about it. News like this is just nonsense sometimes." Hawkeye, who knew Wendy's life story (which was actually full of misunderstandings), sighed.

It's like the reason why he joined the Shichibukai was completely misinterpreted... You have to know that he didn't even know Wendy when he joined the Shichibukai.

However, Wendy did not object to this, because in her concept, Hawkeye said that he could quit the Seven Warlords of the Sea for her, so quitting for her and joining for her did not feel much different.

She didn't even react much when the newspaper classified her as a marine - after all, at first she thought she was automatically classified as a marine.

Anyway, it's up to her to decide how to play it. Players have always been known to be troublemakers.

Wendy's attention quickly shifted from the newspaper and she began looking at the map—she also wanted to see where Shanks and the others were and then go there.

Hawkeye glanced at the newspaper and fell into deep thought.

Wendy's photo has been exposed... Garp is another matter, but Doflamingo, who had a grudge against Wendy and thought she was dead, should have seen it too...

He turned his head and looked at Wendy, who was leaning against the side of the boat and fishing with a fishing rod, and frowned slightly.

The other party will definitely recognize Wendy by then...

"Lola successfully escaped her marriage, didn't she? I hope she meets someone she loves." Wendy regretfully retracted her unbaited fishing rod after the air force, thinking it hadn't worked. She returned to Hawkeye and started chatting. "I taught her the secret; she's sure she'll succeed."

Hawkeye suddenly had a bad feeling: "...What's the secret?"

Wendy said seriously, "If the person she's proposing to doesn't agree, she can just find the next one."

Hawkeye: “…”

He felt that Wendy's friend's love life would definitely not be smooth.

But the other party's words...

"If I hadn't proposed marriage back then, you would have just considered me a companion and looked for your next target, right?" Hawkeye asked. "Who would it be? Red Hair?"

"..." Wendy had already put the fishing rod into her backpack. She was originally planning to take out the freshly caught ingredients to try some recipes she had never tried before. Upon hearing this, she didn't go into the cabin and just stared at Hawkeye.

...Is that too obvious? — Hawkeye pondered, his expression unremarkable: "What's wrong?"

"I know, Mihawk, you don't want Shanks to join our family." Wendy said in an understanding tone. She walked over to him, put her arms around his, and put her head against his. She said in a soothing tone, "I told you I wouldn't do that if you don't agree. Don't worry."

…Although he did have some other concerns, he didn't want Wendy to coax him like this.

Hawkeye could only emphasize, "I'm not worried."

"That's good!" Wendy let go of her hand, as if she had thought of something, and opened the map to take a look. "Ah, I see Shanks and his ship. Let's go over there!"

Wendy said as she walked over to the wooden sign and clicked on teleport.

Hawkeye looked at the other party's attitude of making whatever he said be the truth, sighed, and walked to the side of the wooden sign.

Before, I was worried about the possibility of a problem if I teleported rashly... But now, Shanks would eventually discover the function of the wooden sign anyway, so he could just use it directly...

Hawkeye thought so, but when he put it into practice, something went wrong - he couldn't use the wooden sign to teleport.

Is there something wrong with Wendy... - Hawkeye frowned, and his heart sank.

Oops, this time Wendy didn't specify the direction and went straight there. He didn't know where Red Hair's ship was and couldn't rush there like last time... Does he have to wait for Wendy to finish negotiating with Red Hair and get the map before coming back?

After all, you can't expect Wendy to look back...

Just as he was thinking, Wendy had teleported back and was looking at him with an unhappy expression.

"What happened?" Hawkeye asked subconsciously.

"Why are you still asking? I already went over there, Mihawk, and you didn't follow me, so I came back to check on you!" Wendy took two or three steps forward and bumped into his arms, looking up at him, "What's wrong with you?"

"..." Hawkeye was silent for a moment, not even noticing that his tense expression had relaxed considerably. "It seems I can't use this wooden sign."

"Eh? Is there something wrong with the mod?" Wendy froze for a moment. She circled counterclockwise twice, then clockwise twice, then finally stopped and said solemnly, "Oh no... There's a conflict between the teleport mod and the Yongxian mod. I can still teleport, but it seems the other friends can't use it."

"Then there's no need for that." Hawkeye replied immediately, and thought this was a good thing - this ability was already a bit too strong, and when Wendy's companions increased in the future, there was no guarantee that not all of them would take advantage of this and do something.

And once something happens, Wendy will inevitably be responsible for some of the consequences, sometimes even most of them... Although Wendy herself is the one who is best at causing trouble, it is not okay for others to use her abilities to cause trouble.

Moreover, this way they don't have to worry about someone suddenly showing up at their house without saying hello...

"Well... there's nothing I can do. After all, I can't abandon the Yongxian mod." Since she could use it, Wendy quickly accepted the matter and discussed it with Hawkeye. "It's okay. We can share the wooden sign after we get married. Maybe the wedding mod will allow you to use the wooden sign too."

"It doesn't matter if we can't use the wooden sign." Hawkeye replied sincerely - he was really worried that if she could use the wooden sign after marriage, one day she would feel that it was inconvenient for her companion not to be able to use the wooden sign, and she would think about marrying her companion again.

Wendy didn't mind this, and when she saw Hawkeye didn't mind, she immediately agreed: "That's fine, then let's go find Shanks, they're nearby!"

And after the two of them join forces with the Red Hair Pirates...

"Hey, isn't this our Hawkeye who joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea for love? I'm sorry for my disrespect." The red-haired young man raised his hand and greeted with a smile in a cheerful tone.

Hawkeye: "..." Sometimes, he feels like he has no friends at all.

At the same time, as the news bird diligently delivered the newspaper, other places also received the news...

Windmill Village——————

"Ah, that's Wendy! Everyone! Come and look! Wendy's in the newspaper!"

"What? Where?"

"Let me see... Is this the man Wendy is going to marry? Didn't he say he'd called off the engagement with Wendy? Why is he still pestering her?"

"But the newspaper said he accepted the World Government's offer because of Wendy..."

"Ah, Garp is here too..."

"Could it be that Garp is the one who's sabotaging this? He really can't stand pirates..."

"Is the wedding postponed because of this?"

"Even in this situation, we can't forgive him for making us Wendy sad!"

...No, Wendy didn't look sad. — Makino, who was reading a newspaper nearby, chuckled dryly, then lowered his head to read the newspaper carefully again. Only after finishing it did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Wendy seemed quite happy... And even if this man went back on his word, the fact that he was recruited for Wendy's sake meant he still cared about her, right? If they couldn't get married... could it really be that Mr. Garp had suggested something? — Makino was a little puzzled, and secretly decided to ask when Wendy returned.

Mount Korpo

"What..." Dadan looked at the newspaper, his pupils trembling violently, and it took a few seconds for him to recover. "So that's how it is... So it's all Garp's fault?!"

Dadan sighed, then immediately started to worry again—uh…well, she also wrote to Garp about Hawkeye, so doesn't that mean she's also involved in breaking up the couple… Forget it! She knows nothing! When Wendy comes back, just pretend she didn't do anything!

"It's Wendy in the newspaper! And Grandpa!"

"They are in the Sabaody Archipelago... Where are the Sabaody Archipelago?"

"That's a hub on the Grand Line, the only way from Paradise to the New World. The New World is where those great pirates fight. It's too early for you two little brats to talk about this!" Dadan, cigarette in hand, waved his hand at the two little brats with a look of disdain. "Alright, go play over there."

At the same time, the Navy Headquarters——

"...What the hell!?" Garp looked at the newspaper, his face filled with shock. When would he push his own daughter out for an arranged marriage?!

Fleet Admiral Sengoku was also a little confused when he saw the news - Huh? Was this the reason Hawkeye agreed to the Shichibukai?

Because they are only responsible for recruiting, if the other party agrees, then it is agreed. They can't have any political assessment like asking "what is your dream" or "why did you join the Seven Warlords of the Sea"...

Compared to others, such as the Empress who fought for her country, the recently joined fish-man Jinbe who fought to protect the fish-men under his command, and the previous Doflamingo who fought for a formal official identity to make money and cause trouble, Hawkeye, the lone ranger, does seem a little special.

He didn't know the timeline of this, and recalled Garp's angry words about opposing the Seven Warlords system. So he looked at Garp with hesitation: "Garp... could this be true..."

"What's true or not?! Anyway, I'm against this marriage!" Garp was furious and slammed Sengoku's desk again. "Also! When did Hawkeye join the Shichibukai just for Wendy? He only said he would quit for Wendy! That brat is so arrogant!"

Zhan Guo: "...What?"

Garp: “…” Oh, oops.

Meanwhile, Beihai——————

"...It's Miss Wendy!" 15-year-old Luo's eyes lit up when he saw the photo, but then froze for a moment, as if he'd thought of something, and his eyes dimmed. But the appearance and age didn't match... Could she be Miss Wendy's relative? Or Abigail?

Although Abigail is a ghost, Miss Wendy's family seems to have a spare heart that can be resurrected... But if that's the case, if we find this person, even if she's not Miss Wendy, she definitely knows how to resurrect her.

As for how... well... leaving aside the others, Navy Garp and Shichibukai Hawkeye should be pretty easy to find, right? They're both famous...

"It's decided! I'm going to sea!"

As for the other side, in the Don Quixote family——————

“This is…”

"She looks a bit like Miss Wendy..."

"But Miss Wendy is already dead... Baby 5 only secretly went to offer flowers."

"And Miss Wendy hasn't grown that big..."

"Are they relatives? Then was Miss Wendy's previous letter to Navy Garp a letter to her family?"

"Could this be Miss Wendy's sister?"

"Isn't Miss Wendy's sister a ghost?"

"Idiot! That's her twin sister! Maybe there's another sister too!"

As a group of people were discussing in whispers, Doflamingo, who had just read the newspaper, raised his lips to a nearly ferocious smile. His voice, however, sounded quite calm and firm. "No, this is Wendy herself."

Others didn't understand, but he knew that Wendy had the ability to resurrect.

Extract the heart, revive... What if she has more than one heart?

Even though Wendy's figure remained unchanged over the years she'd been with him, Doflamingo never doubted her age—because he could tell from their interactions that her true age wasn't much different than her appearance. Therefore, when Wendy's appearance remained unchanged, Doflamingo concluded it was a side effect of her running away from home and gaining her Devil Fruit powers.

But now it seems... in addition to having more than one heart, she may also have more than one body.

I just don't know... if her behavior remains the same, and... if memories are shared between different bodies. Judging from the fact that she didn't come to seek revenge on him, it's not certain that she remembers.

As for the possibility that the other party was Abigail, he also thought about it, but quickly rejected it - if Abigail was so easy to resurrect, Wendy would not have done it, and Abigail would not have become famous as the white devil.

Wendy, Wendy… After more than two years, the mention of that name rekindled the rage that had subsided, rekindled with the other party's resurrection, and it only grew stronger. The original anger of betrayal was now compounded by the irritation of being deceived.

As for Hawkeye...

As a major smuggler, Doflamingo has also been collecting underground intelligence. Thanks to his status, the intelligence network he has built is even stronger than that of the Four Emperors. He also knows a thing or two about Hawkeye's past...

Therefore, he didn't care too much, and even felt a hint of sarcasm - having been betrayed so badly, he still dared to believe Wendy... He deserved to fall twice.

But Wendy does have some good tricks. After her attempt to use her youthful appearance to lower people's guard ultimately failed, she has started to use her adult beauty to seduce people... Is this something she learned from her time with Rosinante?

"Young Master..." A worried voice came from the side, seeming to want to say something but stopping.

"It's okay. This is a good thing. Since we're still alive, we'll meet again. I'm already looking forward to the upcoming Shichibukai meeting." Doflamingo exerted force on his hands, and the newspaper in his hand immediately crumpled into a ball, crushing the photo on it beyond recognition. He tilted his head to look to the side, his face shrouded in darkness, appearing even more indifferent. "Haven't you arrived in Dressrosa yet?"

-----------------------

The author has something to say: The current time point is that Luffy is 9 years old, Ace Sabo is 12 years old, and Law is 15 years old. It is less than a year since the incident in Dressrosa.

Hawkeye was seriously betrayed by his companions. This is a reply from Oda's SBS (after that, he stayed alone all the time, but he was still willing to play with Red Hair occasionally, which shows that Red Hair is a true friend [dog head])

Hawkeye is actually a true pristine figure among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He became one because he was bored and found it troublesome. He stays at home farming and teaching baboons swordsmanship. He goes out to sea by himself in a small boat. Although he is a private individual, he is not at a disadvantage when talking to others. He has a good temper and can tolerate two strangers who suddenly came to his house and then simply raised them. He will cook for them and care about them (instantly have a son and a daughter). However, the 3.5 billion bounty on the order was earned by killing people. His first appearance was also to hunt down an entire pirate group without any hesitation... But he doesn't like leading others and doesn't want to be a Yonko. The Cross Guild and Crocodile joined forces because the Seven Warlords of the Sea were cancelled and he was annoyed by being disturbed at home. He didn't leave because he could stay quieter hiding in Baji's shadow (he is really a private individual at heart). The hobbies listed on his life card are still farming and drinking [roast dog]

——When I started writing this book, I had the idea for Don't Starve first, and then thought about the male lead. Old readers know that I'm a big fan of buying stocks and sliding tackles, but there's a real reason why I immediately chose Hawkeye for this book... If he takes the lead first, no one else will have a chance [sunglasses]
