Chapter 106: Celestial Body Preparation Day 4 (250,000 Nutrient Solution Plus Update)...
Celestial Preparation Day 4:
Wendy has always been a good girl who speaks the truth.
This time is no exception.
"Yeah." She nodded and started taking things out and putting them in the box, still answering, "I went to get the things I left there, and then asked Shanks about Vegapunk..."
She was interrupted before she could finish her words.
Hawkeye grabbed her wrist, and when she looked over in confusion, he said, "After you finish packing, come to the living room. I'll be waiting for you there."
Wendy was stunned for a moment, watching Hawkeye walk out, close the box directly, and follow him.
Hawkeye paused and turned to look at her: "Are you done?"
"You can clean it up anytime. There's nothing that needs to be kept fresh anyway," Wendy replied, looking up at him. "Mihawk, don't you have something to tell me? Your side is more important."
...It's like this again. — Hawkeye thought.
This girl is always like this, making others think she is special, but in fact she just treats everyone like this.
Wendy was still walking towards the living room, but when she realized he wasn't following her, she turned to look at him in confusion, "Mihawk?"
"...Coming." Hawkeye replied.
No matter what... I need to talk about it today.
The lights in the living room were always on.
Or rather, the entire castle is lit, because Wendy is in danger in the dark. Hawkeye doesn't even keep his own room completely dark.
Hawkeye always occupied the living room sofa. Wendy preferred to stand and run around, or just sit on Hawkeye. So this time, she simply stood by the sofa, waiting for Hawkeye to take his seat.
But this time, Hawkeye directly pressed her shoulder and said, "Sit down first."
Wendy was a little confused: "Can't I sit on you?"
"...Not this time." Hawkeye stared at her, "I can't let you interfere with other little tricks."
Wendy blinked and sat down obediently.
Hawkeye stood before her, his arms folded across his chest. He looked down at her and asked, "Why didn't you tell me when you went to look for Red Hair?"
Wendy said it with sincerity, "Because you're sleeping, Mihawk, and I can't disturb your rest."
It sounds thoughtful, but it's actually just perfunctory nonsense... Hawkeye continued to ask expressionlessly: "Then why go to find Red Hair at this time?"
Wendy replied readily, "I don't care if Shanks is asleep or not!"
Her thoughtfulness is very personal! Are you happy?
"...That's not what I meant." Hawkeye's face remained tense, not letting the other party get away with it. "Why did you go looking for me when I was sleeping?"
Even saying this, I find it hard to bear. — Hawkeye thought.
I can only say that it’s a good thing that no third person heard it, otherwise he would have wanted to silence it.
"Because I happened to see it on the map, and I had nothing to do at the time." Wendy said innocently, "I have to work during the day."
Of course, it’s better to do idle things when you have more free time!
Hawkeye: “…”
I feel a little angry, but because I know that what the other person said is most likely the truth and there is no exaggeration, I can only sulk.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Wendy called out to him, "Mihawk?"
Hawkeye came back to his senses and looked over: "Huh?"
Wendy's face was filled with genuine confusion. "Why do you care so much? I clearly told you that I wouldn't marry Shanks if you didn't agree."
...Is that why you care? Doesn't this mean that if he agrees, you'll agree too?
Hawkeye thought so, but he couldn't say it because he was worried that the other party would really nod and say yes, and then he wouldn't be able to vent his anger.
Wendy was losing her patience because he had fallen silent again. She stood up and tugged at his sleeve. "I'm tired of sitting there with my head tilted up. It's your turn now."
Hawkeye sighed, put his hand on her shoulder and asked her to sit down again. He did not stand up himself, but squatted down on one knee, raised his head slightly, and looked at her: "According to what you said, if Red Hair had proposed to you first, you would have agreed to him, right?"
Even Shanks knew Wendy first.
Even though he hadn't asked Wendy about the details of her past tonight, he could already guess a thing or two.
He helped people collect things, and his reason for becoming one of the Four Emperors was misunderstood and distorted, but he didn't explain and instead added fuel to the fire. He was woken up in the middle of the night to ask for information, and Wendy's behavior was definitely not polite, but he didn't care... When did the red-haired guy become so good-tempered and nosy?
He didn't believe that the red-haired man had no ulterior motives.
"Hmm..." Wendy's expression became a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, under Hawkeye's intense gaze, she stroked her chin and replied, "That's still different."
He had heard similar words before, and hearing them again would not have the same effect.
Hawkeye felt that at least this time he couldn't be so easily coaxed into submission, and retorted, "What's different? So far, I can't see any difference."
"Well... I'm sure I'll agree to get married." Wendy tilted her head, "But if you don't agree, Mihawk, I won't marry Shanks."
Hawkeye frowned and wanted to interrupt her: "I've heard this before..."
Wendy continued slowly, "But if I agree to Shanks first, and then I meet you, Mihawk, and you want to marry me too, I won't care whether Shanks agrees or not."
There is a difference in priority! Even if she had already agreed to marry Shanks, and she met Hawkeye again, and Hawkeye asked her to go farming with him, she would definitely follow him with her small backpack!
Hawkeye stood there in a daze, looking at her with obvious surprise on his face.
Seeing his reaction, Wendy leaned forward and closed her eyes. After waiting for a few seconds, she opened her eyes again and said with confusion, "I thought you wanted to kiss me just now. Was I mistaken?"
"...That's right." Hawkeye moved closer, picked the person up with one hand, held him in his arms and sat down again. He lowered his head and moved closer to finish what the other person had just said.
Ten minutes later...
Wendy, who was still being held tightly, asked in confusion, "Mihawk, it's still dark, aren't you going to sleep?"
Hawkeye replied expressionlessly, "Well, I won't sleep tonight."
An hour later...
"Mihawk, I didn't bring any food. I'm starving."
"I'll take you to the kitchen."
"Can I walk there by myself?"
"cannot."
"oh."
***
Wendy had no idea that she had walked on her husband's sensitive spot and then jumped back to the right path. After dawn, she went to continue putting things away in high spirits.
At the end, she held the orange-red fruit that Gilder Tezzolo had brought her, and was still thinking: "Can this fruit catch a big fish?"
"...I think it's quite difficult." Hawkeye replied, "You should save it for people to eat."
Otherwise, if Wendy were to use it to fish, there's no telling what kind of human being would be caught next.
"Hmm...then keep it. I'll ask Sabo and Ace if they want some later." Wendy stuffed it back into the box and continued to check on her Pluto progress. "There's only one-fifth of the ingredients left... Damn, I don't even know where to find the rest."
"If it were that easy to find, this weapon wouldn't have disappeared for hundreds of years." Hawkeye put down his soothing tea and asked, "What did Red Hair say about Vegapunk yesterday?"
"He said that if we want to fight Vegapunk, we'll have to fight the Five Elders, so I need to prepare well," Wendy said with a sigh. "It would be great if I could get Pure Glory beforehand..."
If you have Pure Brilliance, Abigail can obtain the Light's Wrath Potion, which can greatly increase Abigail's strength, and gain Moon Affinity, which has a buff effect on the celestial line.
However, to obtain Pure Glory, you also need to open the Moon Rift, and to open the Moon Rift, you need to defeat the Celestial Hero first... or you have to obtain Vegapunk first.
And to make potions, you have to obtain the Mourning Glory first... Oh, another day of missing Little Scares.
Just as Hawkeye was wondering what this pure brilliance was, Wendy had already sorted out all the ingredients, stuffed herself with a bite of dragon fruit pie, and then ran to take out the Den Den Mushi in the glass jar and started making a call.
"Hello? Dragon? I got news about Vegapunk. Shanks said that they'll fight the Five Elders... Yeah, that's right... No, I have to catch Old Wa to start my celestial storyline."
[I see... I've met Vegapunk before. He's a nice guy and you should get along well... But he wants to continue his research, which will require a significant amount of funding. If you don't have enough, he might refuse to go with you.]
There was a hint of embarrassment in Long's tone when he finished speaking.
He said this to warn Wendy - because he had wanted to invite Vegapunk to join the Revolutionary Army, but he was rejected with the reason "No, you're too poor." He was worried that Vegapunk would say the same thing to Wendy.
"It's okay." Wendy, who didn't actually have any Baileys on her, wasn't worried at all. She was very confident. "I don't need money at all, so I'm not short of money at all!"
Long on the other end of the phone: [……]
Hawkeye heard this from the side: "..."
At this moment, the men on both ends of the phone had the same thoughts - yes, because you don’t spend any money at all.
[Although that's the truth...] Long sighed, [Anyway, if there's any news from Vegapunk, I'll contact you. If you decide to take action, be sure to let me know beforehand.]
"Okay." Wendy agreed readily, hung up the phone, and didn't seem to take the matter to heart at all.
Hawkeye didn't remind her. Firstly, it was useless to remind her, and secondly, he felt Wendy was telling the truth. If Vegapunk needed anything, Wendy would probably "find" it for him.
I won't go to the Shichibukai meeting this year. I don't think I can be a Shichibukai for more than two years anyway. - Hawkeye thought.
Wendy put the matter behind her, watched the news bird land, said, "I wonder if Lingling will talk to me today," and ran to get the newspaper.
Big Mom just wants to get dessert from you, not become pen pals with you. — Hawkeye retorted in his heart, but still tried not to disturb his fiancée's interest.
This time, Wendy came back with a newspaper and a bunch of wanted posters. She pulled out a wanted poster, threw away the others, and excitedly showed it to Hawkeye: "Mihawk Mihawk! Look, it's Luo!"
-----------------------
Author's words: What Wendy said is true. If she meets Hawkeye later in the Shanks line, she will also want to run away with him to farm with a small backpack [dog head]
But Shanks' attitude won't be as gentle as Hawkeye's by then, the two have fundamentally different personalities.
Actually, Hawkeye wasn't wrong to defend himself, but Red Hair was a major threat. If Wendy really gave him a hint, he would take advantage of the situation. [Sunglasses]
