Chapter 152: Black Iron, Brass, and Silver

In fact, there is no battle situation to speak of...

Although the headless black armor felt Hancock's kick in time, it was unable to dodge and was still affected by the domineering aura flowing from her feet.

With a loud bang, the armor disintegrated and scattered all over the ground.

Robin's clone said, "You passed the first level."

Hancock retracted her foot and curled her lips and said, "You passed it like this? That's too weak."

"And what is going on here? Wasn't there anyone inside?" She looked at the scattered armor parts, which slowly turned back into white fluid and sank into the floor and disappeared. The girl was puzzled and asked, "It's just an armor. How did it move? What do you want to do with this thing? I order you to answer me."

Hancock's scolding tone did not displease Robin. When she was on the run, what kind of harsh words had she not heard?

What's more, Hancock's voice is quite nice. Although her tone is not good, it doesn't make people feel disgusted... Oh no, is she falling for the other person's charm again?

Robin felt guilty and felt a hand on her shoulder. She drew her attention away from her clone and realized that it was Lynch's hand on her original self's shoulder.

After listening to what he said, Robin nodded, and controlled Huahua's clone on the second floor, and slowly said: "I have said it before, the strength of the gatekeepers is getting stronger and stronger... As for the purpose of doing such a battle, when you pass a few more floors and defeat more gatekeepers, I will tell you naturally."

"Mysterious." Hancock was not very straightforward. She waved her hand and let her love snake Salome jump out, leaping towards the short-haired girl who called herself Kujo Jolyne. As a result, Salome missed. The girl's body disintegrated into petals all over the sky, fluttering and falling into a pile. Salome raised her head, spit out her tongue blankly, hissed twice, and didn't understand what was going on.

Hancock frowned upon seeing this, already looking quite unhappy.

"Then hurry up and go downstairs!" she urged loudly to the empty room.

"Aren't you going to continue reading that book?"

There was a sound coming from the pile of scattered petals. Hancock turned her head sharply and watched the petals fluttering up and condensing into the shape of the short-haired girl.

Hancock said unhappily, "I'll clear all the levels right now and finish the book when the time comes. Is that not okay?"

Robin nodded silently.

In fact, she was also very curious about what was written in the book that Lynch showed Hancock...

Hancock only felt that the empty room in front of her twisted for a moment, and then quickly stabilized.

"..." Hancock saw this, looked at the empty room which was no different from before, and yelled, "Has anything changed?!"

Robin's flowery clone, and Salome, who was curled at her feet, both pointed to the stone tablet at the top of the stairs.

Hancock looked back and saw a few more small words next to the three words "Tongtian Bridge" on the stone tablet: The second floor.

A question mark popped up in Hancock's head. Is this true? She didn't feel any movement just now, but she really reached the second floor?

Of course it was fake. 『BIB』 just shook the wall of the room and added three small words on the stone tablet.

A mass of white fluid surged up on the floor again and condensed into... a cold, headless battle armor.

Hancock was immediately furious. "What the hell? Why is it still this thing?"

Robin's flowery clone and the red-spotted white snake Salome pointed at the headless armor, only to see that the originally pitch-black armor now had a layer of brass-like luster all over it.

"..." Hancock was speechless. She looked at the hissing Salome and glared at it fiercely, "Get back here. Which side are you on?!"

Salome quickly rolled back to the feet of her mistress.

"I want to see if you've become stronger!" Hancock was very unhappy and rushed towards the brass armor aggressively.

Lynch sat on the upper level, closed his eyes, and concentrated his mind, using the basic knowledge of Observation Haki to capture the attacks of the little empress.

Before using Den Den Mushi to lure Hancock into the castle, Lynch had of course already taken back his Stand once and successfully obtained the other party's Observation Haki.

This also confirmed one of Lin Qi's conjectures. It's not that he doesn't have the talent for Haki, but his exaggerated talent for life return made him fall into the habit of it and couldn't change it for a while. It's like a person who is used to nodding for yes and shaking his head for no, suddenly came to a place where shaking his head for affirmation and nodding for negation, it's hard to change that corner... Fortunately, Lin Qi has a stand with completely independent thinking to assist him, so he doesn't need to worry about it, just let the other person replace him, and temporarily ignore the life return, but concentrate on training Haki, and indeed successfully let the original body also enter the entry of Observation Haki.

For Lynch, switching systems was difficult and difficult to get started, but after successfully getting started, it became a lot easier. He can now use his Observation Haki normally.

After all... being domineering is not something that is extremely difficult to acquire.

A very important setting of domineering is that "everyone has it". And the reason why many powerful masters don't have domineering... Lin Qi guessed that it was probably just like himself before, because he was originally very powerful, with developed senses, quick reactions, and strong bodies, so it was difficult to break free from the shackles brought by this "power", change to another way of thinking, get rid of the limitations of the flesh, and turn to tap into the mysterious power that everyone is born with.

Therefore, it is very difficult to awaken Haki without a teacher in an overly "favorable" quality. However, if one comes into contact with a person with Haki ability, understands Haki, or uses special methods such as the Stand training method like Lynch, the situation is very different and the difficulty is reduced a lot... Lynch thinks that this is also the key reason why those people in the "two years later" plot learned Haki one by one and played it very well.

While Lynch was meditating in the pitch-black darkness, a ray of light suddenly appeared.

The light turned into a leg, a slender and beautiful calf.

There is also a foot, a foot as delicate as a jade carving.

Hancock's feet seemed to be burning something as she kicked over fiercely.

"BIB" felt this approaching domineering aura.

Bang! Hancock kicked the bronze armor, but it did not break into pieces as she expected.

"What?" She looked surprised.

The bronze armor under the jade feet hummed, but it did not collapse directly after all.

Hancock asked, "Has it gotten hard?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The bronze armor reached out and grabbed her calf.

Hancock dodged, flew up, and kicked continuously with her feet, stomping on the bronze armor's body with crackling sounds. Finally, she kicked it into a pile of parts, which turned into white fluid on the ground and disappeared.

Hancock landed barefoot and snorted, "Keep going!"

She wanted to see how much stronger this broken thing could become.

In a flash, this empty room seemed to have changed, yet it also seemed to have remained the same.

Hancock looked back at the stone tablet and saw that the small words next to the Tongtian Bridge had changed to: The third floor.

Robin: “…”

Hancock nodded with satisfaction, and saw a ball of white fluid surging on the floor and then condensing into a battle armor.

It still has a bronze luster, but it is deeper.

Moreover, this time the armor had a helmet. The eyes of the helmet glowed with a faint white light.

Hancock was not afraid. She shouted softly and rushed forward with a clattering step.

Dangdangdang! The black-haired girl's smooth feet were like two hammers, hitting the brass armor again and again, making a loud noise.

"It's so fast!" Hancock thought to himself during the battle, "And... it seems to have become even harder!"

She let out a light cry, and a layer of black appeared on her white jade-like feet. She twisted her waist in mid-air and stomped hard on the brass armor, causing it to explode.

With a crackling sound, the armor parts scattered all over the ground, turned back into white fluid and sank to the floor.

Hancock exhaled and said to herself, "It's really getting better and better..."

She raised her voice and said, "Next!"

Swish, the surrounding scene changed, or maybe it didn't change... In short, the Tongtian Bridge on the stone tablet had become the fourth floor.

This time, the white fluid surging on the floor condensed into armor, which suddenly turned into a silver-like luster.

"Humph, it's quite pretentious, and not pretty!"

Hancock muttered, and rushed forward again. Her feet stomped on the floor, and she kicked forward with her armed Haki.

That's right, she likes to kick people.

But this time, her kick missed. Hancock was surprised to see that this thing, which was clearly armor, actually bent its body inwards and dodged her kick at a strange angle...
