Thanks to reader ~*静止:的@时间!!!~ for the 999-Beli tip!
I really couldn't find the ID of whoever tipped me yesterday. Damn this phone assistant.
In the One Piece World, there were plenty of people who could hear a conversation through a wall.
Ordinary people might not think about such details, but the marines at Marine Headquarters certainly did. Every hospital room here was soundproofed.
The walls were thicker, sound-absorbing layers had been installed, and so on. Which meant...
Loa pushed Arudo's huge face away with a helpless look. "Why are you asking so many questions? What's it got to do with you?"
