Chapter 165 Ancient Characters
[Interlude at the beginning of the chapter·Trivia·"Tips"]
[The timeline of the stories in the pre-chapter serialization may not be synchronized with the time point of the chapter, especially the time span may be inconsistent with the main text... I believe this point has been reflected in the previous "Do You Believe in Gravity"... Well, the main thing is to write a pre-chapter serialization of "Lab's Fantasy Drifting", and the time span may be more than ten or twenty years... As for what kind of fantasy drifting, those with big imaginations are welcome to submit their works on the right (the only requirement is to match the style of the cover page serialization of the One Piece comics) →]鈥斺
"Devil Fruit..."
Hancock muttered as he quietly entered Snake Princess' palace from the side.
Robin used the power of the Hana-Hana Nomi at the entrance of her clavicle to grow eyes and ears in many places along the way, to scout the situation for Hancock and give advance warnings to avoid being discovered.
Although it wouldn't be a big deal if Hancock was discovered...
However, Hancock was having a lot of fun. Using the power of her own Castle Fruit and cooperating with Jolyne's strange ability, she was like a little shadow, quietly roaming around Snake Princess's palace.
As for Lynch...
He released a substitute in black armor in Hancock's Serpent Cave Castle and continued his training.
After all, he had little interest in finding books to read.
………………
In a side hall of the imperial palace, Empress Snake Princess was discussing some matters with the old woman Suzuran, several members of the National Guard, and several warriors of the Nine Snakes Pirates.
On the ceiling in the corner, petals were flying, and an eye with a dark green pupil and a white and tender red ear grew out.
"It won't be long before we sail again. When I'm not in the country, the warriors who protect the country must take good care of the people..."
Snake Princess said the same words that she would always remind the patriotic warriors before leading the Nine Snakes Pirates to sea.
The warriors who defended the country naturally nodded and accepted the order, "Yes, Lady Snake."
"Lily of the Valley, please make a list of the materials needed in the country." Snake Princess continued to give orders.
The old woman Lily of the Valley should be.
Their Nine Snakes' pirate ship sailed out from the Calm Belt, either heading straight for the first half of the Grand Line or to the South China Sea on the other side.
Although, with their Nine Snakes flag, many pirate groups and merchant ships simply abandoned their ships and fled, allowing them to board and plunder.
But after all, not all materials can be collected in this way.
for example……
Many of the items used by my daughter’s family cannot be found on many pirate ships.
In addition, Snake Princess has the habit of reading newspapers. Every time she goes out to sea, she collects every old newspaper and reads them all at once on the boat.
After sending away her attendants, Snake Princess slowly walked to the window and gazed at the calm sea in the distance.
Flower petals are scattered in the corners of the ceiling.
………………
Hancock sneaked around the palace and found Snake Princess' study.
In the huge study, one wall of the bookshelf is filled with densely packed books.
Hancock muttered, "Why didn't I realize there were so many books here before... Hey, Xu Lun, how are you going to read? Do you want to take some books away, or do you want to come out now and read them here?"
Since there was no one around, Hancock jumped to sit at the desk and looked up at the books on the wall.
After not hearing Xu Lun's response for a long time, Hancock condensed her body in the castle inside her body and focused her attention inside.
That boring guy Giorno is still training alone over there.
As for the strange man in black armor, he was never seen again after leaving the castle, and Hancock didn't care much about him.
She walked straight behind Xu Lun and suddenly patted her shoulder, scaring the latter.
"What are you doing?" Hancock asked.
Robin looked at her helplessly and explained, "Just now when I passed by a side hall, I found your Snake Queen talking to others about their next voyage..."
"Set sail?" Hancock's eyes lit up. "Set sail again? When?"
Robin said: "I didn't hear it, but it should be in these few days... You don't want to?"
Hancock didn't answer. She patted Robin's shoulder and pointed to the "hole" next to her. It was the area between her collarbone. Through the "hole" she could see the wall of bookshelves outside.
"You found what you wanted, what's next?"
"Thank you." Robin nodded and called out from a distance, "Giorno..."
"Hmm?" Lynch, who was training with BIB, heard Robin's voice, looked back, and quickly understood, "Got it. Ah B, go take a turn."
He removed the mask of the substitute in front of him and threw it towards the hole behind Robin and the others.
The mask suddenly brushed against the gap between the two women, flew out from the portal between the collarbones of Hancock's original body in the outside world, turned in the wind, and then returned to its original size, suspended in the dark stand energy.
The visor flipped over, and the eyes glowing white met Hancock's bright eyes.
"I understand..."
Hancock's real body looked at the visor in front of her; her clone in the castle inside her body carefully used her observation Haki to observe the opposite side of Giorno and saw the vague black shadow. The two Hancocks, one big and one small, showed a look of sudden enlightenment in the same pace inside and outside, muttering to themselves.
Lin Qi said: "You understand again."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Continue to fight with "BIB". Anyway, now that I have mastered the Observation Haki, even without the mask, the headless "BIB" can be used as a sparring partner.
Hancock pointed at them and shouted, "I see. The strange shadows that appeared in the city that day were you, right? No wonder you were so powerful that you could escape from the pursuit of so many soldiers..."
Moreover, even her observation Haki and armament Haki were unable to do anything to the black shadow at that time.
"But that's impossible. How could you have possibly avoided those arrows shot by Lady Snake?" Hancock bit her finger and frowned in confusion. "You are obviously not much better than me..."
At that time, Hancock had no confidence that she could escape from the three arrows that Snake Queen shot from a very long distance on the palace tower.
But Lynch and the black shadow not only escaped, but were also alive and well, and nothing happened to them at all.
Thinking of the insanely powerful monsters they had defeated on the island of Ruskaina, Hancock seriously suspected that Giorno had let her down during the combat training.
"Hancock!"
Robin's voice interrupted Hancock's thoughts.
"You can pick up any book, just make sure you turn every page in front of you, no matter how fast you turn... that's all." Robin just said that.
Hancock was confused and asked, "That's it?"
Robin nodded, "That's it."
Hancock thought about it and temporarily put aside what happened just now, and then have a good talk with Giorno and Jolyne later.
Outside, Hancock's original body took a book from a bookshelf on one wall and tried to flip through it. After waiting for a while, she was about to flip through it again when she vaguely saw with her observation Haki that the dark shadow floating on the book in her hand nodded, as if signaling her to take the next book...
"..." Hancock didn't know what to say, so she put the book back and took out the next one.
Wow, a book every two seconds, a book every two seconds.
Crash...
Crash...
In Hancock's inner castle, Robin watched Lynch training; outside, Hancock's original body was flipping through books out of boredom. The mechanical movements were inevitably boring. She was almost half numb as she repeated the cycle of pulling out books, flipping through books, and putting books away...
Crash...
Hancock pulled out another book and quickly flipped through it in front of the man in the dark mask. When she was about to put it back, a piece of paper fell out of the book and floated to the ground.
"Huh?" Hancock lowered his head. "What is this?"
She squatted down to pick it up, her black mask flying on the side of her cheek as she looked at the things that looked like "graffiti" on the page.
It is an ancient text.
"BIB" recognized it.
