Chapter 79: The Eighth Day in the New World Who is bullying Mihawk?
New World Day 8:
Wendy treated this as a small incident, like a small side quest that was suddenly accepted during the main activity and completed within a minute.
As for what Hawkeye said, she didn't care too much: "Then he admitted his mistake. I'll talk to Long later."
…Actually, there’s no need to tell him. — Hawkeye thought so, but didn’t refute him directly.
This person seems to have great respect for Wendy at the moment, but once he gets out of this sea and experiences more, no one knows what he will become... If he mistakenly thinks Wendy is a member of the Revolutionary Army, at least he won't easily offend an organization even if he changes his mind later.
The two have entered the realm of the Ten Thousand Nations.
Wanguo is the territory of Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, also known as Big Mom.
Surrounding the main island of Cake Island, there are more than 30 subsidiary islands, which are managed by Big Mom's subordinates, who are also her children.
The name "Cake Island" clearly indicates a close connection to pastries. Besides Cake Island, the islands also include Cocoa Island, Jam Island, Cheese Island, and Biscuit Island, all of which sound delicious.
Wendy also discovered that after they entered the territory of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms, the sea was in the shape of juice, and even the snow-like substance falling from the sky was marshmallow.
Wendy was horrified to see the snow falling. She quickly ran to the cabin, pulled out her soft vest, and put it on to keep warm. Hawkeye grabbed her and said, "Calm down. It's not cold. This should be candy."
Wendy opened her mouth and took one. After confirming that it was a marshmallow, she began to try to pick up the marshmallows that had fallen on the boat... But these flocs turned directly into sugar water after falling on the deck and could not be picked up.
"This kind of thing is useless to you even if you pick it up, right? There's no need to be unhappy." Hawkeye said. At the same time, the Den Den Mushi they kept on the boat suddenly started to ring.
Wendy looked shocked. “Is there anyone calling us so many times at once?”
"No, it's probably because we entered BIG MOM's territory, and the Den Den Mushi caught the warning sound waves they sent out." Hawkeye looked over there and could faintly see the land of Bankoku.
Just as they were about to reach the shore, Hawkeye spoke with instructions, "Wendy, once we reach the shore, go explore. Big Mom has the Soul-Soul Fruit, which allows her to absorb parts of others' souls and attach them to other objects. You might be able to obtain the Glory of Mourning from them."
Wendy nodded to show she understood, then asked, "Mihawk, won't you join me in this exploration?"
Hawkeye really didn't have this plan - because BIG MOM's intelligence network should not be underestimated, and the news of him becoming a Shichibukai was news in the newspapers... If he appeared with Wendy, it would cause trouble for Wendy.
It would be better if he took action somewhere else, which would also help cover up Wendy's trouble.
Thinking of this, Hawkeye replied: "I'll wait for you on the boat. If you encounter any danger, just use your wooden sign to teleport."
Wendy nodded in agreement: "Okay."
When their ship docked, soldiers came over immediately. They were dressed like chess pieces, with a cylinder with square grids in the middle of their bodies and a shield behind them. Their hats represented the images in chess pieces, which were used to distinguish their ranks.
The two soldiers who came to check on Wendy and her crew's ship were just ordinary knights, and they were holding a small notebook and were responsible for registration.
Wendy saw them and excitedly called out "Abigail," while also taking out her own ham stick...
When Hawkeye saw her posture, it was too late to stop her - because Abigail killed the two soldiers in one blow. They fell to the ground and turned into several translucent fallen objects.
Hawkeye: "..." Are these two soldiers so weak?
Wendy thought so too, and put away the ham stick to pick up the fallen items.
"It's actually nightmare fuel... I thought only shadow creatures would drop this!" Wendy said in surprise, but her hands did not stop, and she immediately put the four nightmare fuels on the ground into her backpack.
Nightmare fuel? — Hawkeye was stunned for a moment, but after careful consideration, it seemed reasonable.
After all, the premise for Big Mom to extract the lifespan of others is that they must feel fear...
"So this isn't the mourning glory you wanted?" Hawkeye asked.
"Yeah! But nightmare fuel is also very useful. With this, I don't have to work hard to lower my sanity before fighting every time!" Wendy said as she took out her walking stick, took back Abigail, and waved to Hawkeye, "I'll find you after I finish exploring here! You better take good care of the house, Mihawk!"
She happily ran off and began exploring the island.
This island is mostly made of chocolate, with chocolate fountains, chocolate houses, and the clothes of the residents walking around are decorated with chocolate.
Wendy looked over curiously and regretted not having brought a mattock - if she had a pickaxe she could have just smashed it and seen how it went.
Oh, that was a mistake. I thought I was just here to pick up the Mourning Glory, and the saltpeter is still on the boat... Should I go get it from the boat? Or should I try something else first...
Wendy stared at the chocolate door for a long time. Just as she was about to reach out her hand, a voice behind her said, "You can't take that down."
Wendy turned around and saw a tall pink-haired woman standing there.
The other person had pink twin ponytails, and her face and body were round. Her face was obviously flushed, and she had thick red lips. She was wearing a red dress. With her height of over two meters, she did not look imposing, but rather had a kind of honest feeling.
"If you damage anything here, the soldiers will come and demand compensation." Seeing Wendy looking over, she continued, "You're not from here, are you? Where are you from?"
When a friendly NPC approached her, Wendy was always willing to be more patient. She stopped paying attention to the chocolate door and walked over to the pink-haired woman, looking up at her. "I'm Wendy Carter, you can just call me Wendy. Who are you?"
"I'm Charlotte Lola, the minister of Cocoa Island. You can just call me Lola."
***
Charlotte Lola is the 23rd daughter of Big Mom Charlotte Linlin and the Minister of Chocolate of Cocoa Island, where Wendy lives.
She noticed Wendy, the outsider, and paid special attention to her. She stopped Wendy when she was about to do something that would attract the attention of her superiors, invited her to have afternoon tea, and asked curiously, "Wendy, how did you get here?"
"I'm here to look for Mourning Glory. Mihawk said it might be here, so I came to take a look. Although I found that this place only drops Nightmare Fuel, since I'm here, I might as well explore it." Wendy said the truth.
In Lola's ears, the words that she didn't understand were blocked or replaced, and she automatically translated them - Wendy came here to look for something, and a man named Mihawk said it was here. She found out that it wasn't actually here, but since she was here, she decided to take a look around.
"You can take a walk around, and I can also show you Cocoa Island, but you have to be careful not to stay here too long." Lola's expression became a little serious as she spoke. "Mom doesn't refuse anyone who comes, but it will be troublesome to leave if she finds out. Mom is very scary when she gets angry, and you will have to pay the price with your life."
"Oh..." Wendy was a little confused, still thinking - Huh? What's my lifespan? Will it be reduced to a certain number of days? That would be terrifying!
Seeing Wendy's expression become serious, indicating that she had heard it, Lola secretly breathed a sigh of relief - she quite liked this little cute girl, and they became friends after chatting, so she didn't want anything to happen to her.
"I see. I'll explore for a bit, then I'll find Mihawk and we'll leave." Wendy said with a sigh, "We've been out exploring for a long time, and I'm a little homesick."
The main thing is that I'm a little tired of exploring and want to go home and farm. Spring is almost here, and it's the perfect time for crops to grow...
"Hey? Are you living with that Mihawk?" Lola noticed the blind spot and got a little excited. "Wendy, are you married already?!"
Wendy shook her head: "Not yet, we agreed to get married in six years. Laura, if you are free, please come to the wedding, and remember to bring a gift."
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely find a way to attend! Just write to me in advance and tell me the address and time, and I'll definitely come!" Laura's eyes lit up, and she seemed very excited. However, after a moment of excitement, she became depressed again. "Actually... I'm getting married soon."
Wendy was shocked and her expression turned serious - what? She wanted to ask me for a gift first?
Just as Wendy was wondering if she could give a good gift and the NPC would then give a corresponding gift in return, Lola spoke of her troubles, "But actually, this is the marriage my mother wanted... I don't want to accept it. Wendy, you're marrying someone you like, right? How did you find him?"
Wendy replied, "I met Mihawk when I was building my own home. He saved me, and then I proposed to him."
"That sounds so romantic! You were the one who proposed? That's right! Girls can also pursue love bravely!" Laura's eyes lit up, "Okay! I want to pursue my own love too!"
"Okay!" Wendy put the afternoon tea and snacks that Laura had given her into her backpack. Upon hearing this, she clapped her hands and gave her her blessing, "Laura, you will definitely find someone you like!"
Laura: "If I'm rejected..."
Wendy: "Then just propose to someone else!"
Laura: "That's right! This is the spirit you need to pursue love!"
The two of them had a great conversation, and the more they talked, the happier they became. They even found a lot of common points with each other.
"You have so many brothers and sisters. I only have one twin sister."
"I have a twin sister too! Her name is Chiffon!"
"Wow, what a coincidence! Are you planning to run away from your marriage to pursue true love? Then I'll give you a backpack made of Cupid skin. I wish you good luck in love!" Wendy generously rubbed a package for her on the spot.
Laura took it with emotion: "Thank you, Wendy!"
"Oh, by the way, do you want to be my partner? And share the map with me..." Wendy was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly panicked, "Oh, no! I actually forgot to share the map with Shanks..."
That would be like not having a companion at all! Be sure to make up for it on your return trip!
Laura was curious: "Who is Shanks?"
Wendy replied sweetly, "He's the second person I wanted to marry, but since Mihawk looked unhappy, I decided to just treat him as a companion."
Laura was shocked: "Are you and your Mihawk not on good terms?"
Wendy shook her head, "No, we have a good relationship. I thought Shanks was his friend and he would be happy if he joined."
Laura also admired her new friend: "I think generally speaking, people wouldn't be happy..."
After the two chatted for a while, Lola chose to become Wendy's new companion. She accepted Wendy's heart with a look of shock and emotion, and gave Wendy her own map.
Wendy looked at the nearly fully lit map of the world and was satisfied—yay! No need to go out and explore on her own!
"I'm going to find Mihawk. See you in the future! Please invite me to your wedding, Lola!" Wendy said as she put up a wooden sign in Lola's room with the words "Lola's Home" written on it, and then teleported directly to the ship.
"Mihawk! I'm back!" she shouted, then began to turn around in confusion - Eh? Where's Mihawk?
She ran out of the cabin to the deck, saw the commotion not far away, and frowned - who was bullying Mihawk?
***
Meanwhile, on the other side——
"Tell me why you came to Wanguo..." The man who spoke had short amaranth red hair. The white scarf around his neck covered the lower half of his face. He held a trident tightly in his hand, staring straight at the enemy in front of him, ready to attack. His voice roared from his throat, "Hawkeye——!"
The first thing that responded to him was a sword energy that sliced through the sea. However, he dodged it as if he had anticipated it, and the sword energy finally struck directly on the nearby island, leaving a crack.
Hawkeye held the black knife in his hand, looked over, and said calmly: "No comment."
