Chapter 166 Coral

[Chapter Heading Serialization·Big News 17·"Aren't they having fun?"]

[North Sea, Germa Kingdom. Three one-year-old baby boys were crawling all over the floor, bullying another one-year-old twin brother. Four-year-old Reiju saw it not far away and turned back to tell her tall and mighty father Judge who was sitting at the end of the long table. The latter glanced at the fight over there, said coldly, and continued to read the newspaper in his hand. Reiju was surprised and giggled quickly...]

"This kind of text..."

Hancock picked up the paper that had fallen from the book.

The paper was very old, with obvious folding marks and yellowing. The strange block-shaped characters that looked like patterns were very similar to the line of characters I saw on the tree on Ruskaina Island that day.

Hancock was able to remember it so quickly because Xu Lun had asked her about this not long ago.

The pitch-black mask floated between Hancock's face and the paper, memorizing the ancient words scribbled on the paper.

This is obviously not a rubbing of the historical text, but more like a copy made by someone based on another sample of ancient text.

But that’s all “BIB” can do. It can recognize that it is ancient writing, but it can’t understand what is written on it.

Hancock was blocked by it, but it didn't hinder her vision. After all, it seemed that this thing could only be detected by Observation Haki. As long as she didn't use Observation Haki so attentively, she wouldn't be disturbed by it, and sometimes she would even ignore it if she didn't pay attention.

Just as she was about to say something, a voice with a hint of laughter suddenly sounded from behind Hancock: "Ah, isn't this our Nine Snakes' little princess, Her Highness Hancock?"

Although Hancock was surprised, her expression remained calm and unchanged.

However, the portal of the castle fruit between her collarbones closed instantly. Her skin was smooth and white.

She concentrated and used her Observation Haki to quickly scan the surroundings, but she couldn't find where the black shadow mask had gone.

What a quick reaction... Hancock praised in her heart. She turned around and saw that it was indeed the tall Snake Princess.

Snake Princess came over gracefully, smiling and joking, "How come Your Highness Princess is interested in coming here to study with me?"

"The princess should be your daughter. Stop yelling!"

Hancock curled her lips and put the book back on the shelf.

Princess?

The emperor should be the next one.

Snake Princess put the back of her hand on her waist, leaned forward, and said with a smile, "I may not give birth to a princess."

Her long golden hair hung down and swayed in front of Hancock.

Hancock was not affected at all by the charm exuded by Lady Snake. Lady Snake was secretly upset.

Hancock asked curiously, "Don't we in Nine Snake Island only give birth to daughters?"

Snake Princess' eyes flashed with surprise. How could Hancock's first reaction be "separate for men and women"? She stood up and smiled calmly, "Really? Maybe."

Snake Princess obviously didn't intend to continue this topic with Hancock. She looked at the bookshelves on the wall and stroked Hancock's hair. "If you want to read a book, just ask me. Why did you sneak into the palace by yourself? If you are discovered by the guards, you will be punished."

Hancock said matter-of-factly, "You won't punish me."

Snake Princess squatted down in front of her. Hancock was 1.5 meters tall, and Snake Princess squatted down to be as tall as her.

Gently stroking Hancock's smooth cheek, Snake Princess said softly: "Hancock, you have to understand that in this country, there are some principles that even I must abide by."

Hancock was confused, so she held the paper in her hand in front of Snake Princess, put on a pure and curious face, and asked: "This text is very similar to what I saw on Ruskaina Island that day..."

………………

"The castle is closed."

Robin glanced at the rapidly closing portal.

On the other side, Lynch condensed his Armament Haki and was practicing with the pitch-black headless armor in front of him.

In the comics, when Rayleigh was guiding Luffy, he said that the transformation of domineering training can only be achieved in a truly fierce battle.

In the final battle with Katakuri, Luffy unlocked the advanced level of Observation Haki, allowing him to see brief scenes of the future.

According to Lynch's understanding, the so-called truly fierce battle probably refers to the kind of battle where both sides are truly evenly matched and can fully exert their potential, right? Isn't that a coincidence?

He and his stand-in are naturally evenly matched.

He is definitely the best opponent to hone your dominance.

BIB's face was gone, and he used his Observation Haki with all his strength to track the trajectory of his main body's movements.

Fortunately, the main body's attacks were all wrapped in some Armament Haki, so BIB's Observation Haki could capture them much more clearly.

The faceless armor suddenly stopped.

Lynch wrapped his fist in armed color and stopped it just in front of its chest.

"What's wrong?"

"BIB" gestured a few times in front of him.

Lin Qi said: "Brother, you don't really think I can understand sign language?"

"BIB" stopped.

"Speaking of which, what would happen if I only took back a part of you?"

Lin Qi suddenly thought of something and tried it immediately. He found that after he put the faceless armor in front of him back into his body, nothing happened. He didn't feel the familiar fatigue, nor did he receive the memory of "BIB" when he was outside.

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

Lin Qi released the dark armor again. Through this operation, he could probably guess what the main body wanted to ask, and the faceless armor waved his hand at him to express his denial.

Lynch, who has the same thinking pattern, can also infer what it is denying.

Just now, it did not copy the state of the main body at this moment. The main body did not obtain its memory and experience, and it did not copy the main body's gas fruit.

In other words, after the incomplete armor is recycled, it is no different from not recycling it. In other words, "BIB" seems to have a hidden feature, its various parts will definitely maintain "version consistency", and it will be lower, not higher. Just because Lin Qi recycled and released it, the armor somewhere else will not suddenly refresh the "version" and have a new level of strength.

"I seemed to hear other people's voices outside just now... Hancock should be okay, right?"

Robin came over.

Lin Qi said without even looking up: "What could be the problem with her? If you are so worried about her, why not just call her over and ask her?"

Being inside the closed Hancock Castle, the two of them now had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

Lin Qi stomped the floor of the Snake Cave Castle and shouted, "Who is the landowner here? Why don't you come out and see me?"

Robin was confused when he saw this, with a question mark floating over his head.

White fluid surged up from the floor and condensed into the shape of Hancock. She asked in confusion, "Giorno, who are you calling?"

Lin Qi coughed lightly and asked, "What's going on outside?"

Hancock simply repeated it.

"You said the words on that paper are..." Robin was surprised.

Lin Qi suddenly realized and looked at his brother, "I understand, this is what you meant just now! Can't find a pen, right?"

In the inner castle of the user of the Castle Fruit, paper and pen are very easy to get.

Hancock waved her little hand and mobilized the white fluid, which condensed into a piece of charcoal.

"And then? Could it have written that kind of words just by looking at it?" Hancock looked at the shadow beside Lynch and expressed doubt. Anyway, she had completely forgotten it.

With the help of Hancock's vision, Robin now knew where Lynch's ghost was. Then she saw the charcoal that Hancock conjured up flying into the air, as if it was held in someone's hand, and began to write words stroke by stroke on the floor.

Hancock was surprised: "You really remember it..."

She was distracted for a moment, and quickly said: "Lady Snake found that I was distracted! I can't come in for the time being..."

Robin nodded and said, "You should deal with the things outside first."

Hancock blinked at her, leaving Robin confused. Then, Hancock's clone quickly turned into a pool of white fluid and merged into the floor.

Lynch raised his foot and tapped the ancient characters on the floor, and asked casually, "Robin, this shouldn't be written crooked, right?"

Robin tilted his head, took a few steps to stand in front, and recognized it: "This word means 'coral'..."
