[One Piece] The White Wolf of the Red Foss

As soon as he entered the kitchen, before Shanks shared the effectiveness of the orange peel, he discovered that something was wrong with Akales.

Deep in the darkness, reaching out but unable to grasp the light.

So Shanks directly swallowed what he wanted to say, and asked Akales without thinking.

"Yaka, what's wrong?"

Akales reacted for a few seconds, then lifted the potato in his hand and asked, "Do you want to peel the potato?"

This question seems to have been asked not long ago, and the answer of the red-haired youth at that time was to turn around and leave without hesitation.

"Okay!" Shanks nodded, the same action as before, without hesitation.

But before it was leaving, this time it was walking in.

He moved a low stool and sat across from Yacales, his long legs wrapped in loose black trousers.

He didn't bend neatly like Yakales, but directly stretched out to both sides, took out a potato from the basin, and showed off: "I'm super good at peeling potatoes!"

"Yeah." Yakales nodded, then bowed his head silently and went to do his own work.

The sound of chopping meat was obviously much louder, and Beckman almost couldn't hold back the chopping of the meat into minced meat.

Shanks was grinning, completely unaware of what Beckman was angry about. He looked up at Beckman's back while peeling potatoes.

"Beckman, are you okay? If you chop it so hard, it will smash the cutting board~"

"Shut up." Beckman replied angrily, and put the meat that had been processed into the basin beside him, his movements were nimble but the commotion was a bit loud.

He really wanted to beat Shanks...

"What's wrong with Beckman?" Shanks felt the danger intuitively, shrank his neck and asked Akales in a low voice.

The white wolf shook his head, also not understanding, he lowered his head, and peeled off the skin rigidly and seriously.

And Shanks was also peeling the potato very seriously, he peeled off the skin, still holding the potato in his hand, scratched the potato a few times with a sharp knife, then he nodded in satisfaction, and handed it to Akalai in front of Adams.

"What?" Yakales looked at the potato, which had been cruelly peeled off several pieces, as if it had been carved into something.

Shanks pointed to the potato and explained: "Isn't it like? It's a wolf, with ears and tail ~ are you happy?"

His ears trembled when his name was called out, his tail slipped from his body and turned back, Akales nodded and brought the potato over.

After careful identification, the ears and tail were recognizable, but the wolf's body and limbs directly turned into a ball.

"You like it very much..." Akales pursed his lips, a little hesitant to change the ten-year agreement.

If Shanks wants to touch... he doesn't care, it's just a little uncomfortable, as long as he holds back, nothing will happen.

But before he could ask a question, the kitchen door was knocked open again, and Lackey's huge body broke in, shouting: "Boss, we see a ship!"

Auston ran over immediately, his face was already pale from seasickness, and now it was as white as a piece of paper. After supplementing Laki's words, he shouted in horror: "There is a mummy on board!"

"Mummy?" Shanks got up immediately and followed Lackey and the others towards the deck. Beckman frowned and followed closely behind.

Akales looked at the gift in his hand - he received a gift from Shanks for the third time, the first time was the money saved by the other party in the South China Sea, the second time was the portrait, the third time That's it.

He was a little entangled, it would be a pity to just eat it like this, but it will be broken after a long time...

After thinking for a while, he still put the gift in the space, and he could think of a way... It would be a pity to eat it.

Akales came out a few seconds later than Shanks and the others, and by the time he got to the deck, the aggressive Shanks had already run to the boat.

It was probably the smallest boat without a mast, and it could only be driven by manpower.

The little monkey yelled on Lagi's shoulder uneasily, appearing particularly restless, and even faintly afraid.

Beckman frowned, reminding Shanks again to pay attention to safety.

Auston looked at it for a long time, and said uncertainly, "This seems to be... old Char's ship."

Auston still knew Old Char, who often went to teak island to perform monkey shows. Although he didn't like him, he occasionally went to monkey shows to entertain himself.

He came and went, and helped the other party repair the ship several times, and he could even see that there was his own special method of fixing nails on this ship.

So he repeated it firmly: "This is Old Char's ship!"

The boat was not big, more than twice the size of their sloop. Without hesitation, Akales jumped onto the deck of the small boat parked beside their boat while holding on to the side of the boat with one hand.

"Shanks," Akales called out.

"Yaka, you're here too~" Shanks stood beside him, looking at the mummy on the deck with a solemn expression. It was true that he was wearing old Char, but the degree of decay of the corpse... seemed to have been dead for a long time .

All the water evaporated, and there was no blood around, as if those things had been taken away abruptly, Shanks said with emotion: "It's so strange ~ there is only a scratch on the finger..."

Akales was silent, looking around, as if looking for something, Shanks had turned over the corpse, and found nothing, so where is the crystal?

The reason why old Char turned into a mummy, or the culprit, was the bag of amethysts given by Akales-those blood-sucking crystals brought out from the energy island and the rotating island.

"Akales, what are you looking at?" Although Shanks was strange, he didn't suspect anything. It should be said that Akales was the most harmless existence in his heart, so no matter what, he would not doubt him.

"Look at the clues around." Akales explained with a normal expression, without any sense of guilt for what he did wrong or for deceiving Shanks.

Even if he dies, he won't hurt Shanks, that's enough.

The search turned out to be fruitless, and Shanks simply reached out and felt the mummy's pockets all over again, like touching dried bean curds, he frowned tightly, and finally took out from the pocket of old Charlie's coat. a note.

"I think we can talk, maybe you accidentally destroyed my crystal veins, insignificant little nobleman... um... what do you mean?" Shanks rubbed his chin and read out.

Akales' eyes flickered slightly, and he remembered, a nobleman who exchanged [-] boxes of amethyst for a sea tower stone, a nobleman whose name was withheld in Kyle's accounting book.

Unlike other nobles who only bought a few or a dozen for decoration, the other party bought a full twenty boxes...

He knows the effect of amethyst, and he is even investigating who destroyed the veins of amethyst...
