Chapter 178 Everyone has dozens of people who want to kill them, don't worry about it

Hancock avoided the others and came to the outside of the city, looking for familiar insects on the grass at the foot of the city wall.
"Did I remember the wrong place?"
Hancock searched for a long time but couldn't find it. His initial excitement gradually cooled down, and he even felt a little disappointed as he walked.
Looking around, there was no one around. In the distance, sporadic sounds of laughter and noise could be heard from the city, very close yet very far away.
Jolyne and Giorno...did they leave? Hancock felt that she was the only one who could be considered a friend on the Nine Snakes Island. In the past six months since she left for sea, it was normal for them to leave the Nine Snakes Island out of boredom.
Leaving forever?
Hancock leaned against the city wall and slowly sat down in the shadows.
Maybe it was the first time in her life that she felt reluctant to leave.
At this moment, Hancock's eyes narrowed and she jumped away. At the same time, there was a light "pop" sound at the foot of the city wall.
It turned out to be a bunch of leaves tied together that fell from the top of the city wall.
It's just this kind of power...
When Hancock saw the leaves explode, he thought of something and immediately looked up at the top of the city wall. He vaguely saw a blurry figure. Soon, another smaller figure appeared next to him.
It's Giorno and Jolyne...
Hancock smiled and waved, but soon realized why I was so enthusiastic and immediately became reserved.
At the top of the city wall, Lynch took a step forward and stepped into empty air, falling down.
He fell to a low altitude, took a step with the Moon Step, and with two snaps, he landed gracefully on the ground.
As soon as he landed, Hancock immediately noticed something was different.
"You've grown taller?" She straightened up, but still found that she seemed to be even shorter than Lin Qi.
Lin Qi said: "You have become weaker! Or... have I become stronger?"
"What?!" Hancock was unhappy, "Want to fight?"
…
Not long after, in the Stand-In Castle, Hancock was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, with a dazed look on her face.
Obviously, all the pirates and navy soldiers she encountered when she was out at sea were no match for her...
But why? Why after returning to Nine Snakes, did he lose so quickly in front of Giorno?
"While you were traveling outside, I was practicing well!" Lin Qi said with a smile.
He wiped his sweat, feeling a little tired. Hancock was a chosen girl, born with three colors of Haki, like Broly, who could improve her strength just by playing around. Even if she had been out playing for half a year, her Haki level was still growing naturally. It took a lot of effort for Lynch to successfully defeat her in the competition.
Hancock sat up with difficulty and said depressedly: "How is it possible? How can your strength improve so quickly?"
Even faster than her!
Is this still a human? Whether it is pure strength or the use of domineering, Giorno's growth rate is beyond Hancock's imagination.
Especially the domineering level!
Hancock clearly remembered that when he first met Giorno, he couldn't even use Observation Haki at all, let alone Armament Haki! It was only during the battle with her that he gradually mastered Armament Haki.
But now, Lynch's use of the two kinds of domineering has undergone a drastic change.
It probably exceeds the standard of ordinary Nine Snake Warriors.
Hancock had to admit that Lynch's level of domineering might be a little bit worse than his own...
Robin said, "When you were away, Giorno was training on the island of Ruskaina, fighting those extraordinary beasts..."
Hancock was surprised. That island? He had been training on that island for nearly a year? "Jollen, you have also mastered the Observation Haki and Armament Haki..." Hancock stood up and touched his slightly painful fist. "You are really amazing! No wonder you two have so many bounties on your shoulders..."
Robin and Lynch were a little surprised, but this was also expected.
The Nine Snakes Pirates have been at sea for almost a year, so it is normal for them to come across the bounty warrants for the two of them and be discovered by Hancock, who knows them.
"Look, this is it." Hancock took out the two bounties from her bounty and held them in front of the two. "I asked Lady Snake, and with a bounty like yours, you'd be considered a big pirate in the open sea! So you two are so powerful?"
Then, since I am on par with them, I must be an amazing warrior.
Although Hancock thought this was natural, she didn't expect the people in the outer sea to be so weak. After all, she hasn't really grown up yet. After a dozen years, if her strength is improved by several levels, she should be able to become a first-class warrior in the world, right?
Lynch and Robin were surprised when they saw the amount on the bounty.
Originally, both of them had a bounty of 100 million berries.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As a result, Hancock now has two bounties worth 150 million and 120 million respectively.
Lin Qi took the still-hot bounty order, looked at it over and over again, and said speechlessly: "Are these people in the navy crazy? They said you are the captain, but they still raised my bounty higher than yours?"
Robin said: "Is it because of the ability you exposed? They think you are more threatening..."
"What's the threat?" Lynch sneered, stuffed the two bounties back into Hancock's arms, and said disapprovingly, "It's as if the Navy cares a lot. Rather than caring about a specific person's specific ability, I think the Navy cares more about Dr. Vegapunk's research results on devil fruits..."
Hancock pulled out the bounty order discontentedly and threw it aside, asking curiously, "What special ability? What are you talking about?"
Robin looked at Lynch. Lynch said, "Have you forgotten? I gave you the castle fruit before, and you took it back?"
Hancock was puzzled, "That's it?"
"That's it." Lynch nodded.
Hancock was disappointed. "I thought it was fun! If you have a devil fruit, you will become a landlubber and can't go into the sea, right? What's the point of that!"
She even felt that it was unreasonable that the Navy would increase the bounty on Lynch because of his ability.
Robin was speechless. Perhaps Hancock was born strong, so she was dismissive of the power of the Devil Fruit... If she hadn't relied on the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit, Robin would have been caught on the way to escape.
It is precisely because of her feelings for the Hana-Hana Nomi that Robin would not exchange it even if Lynch had a better fruit.
Lynch stroked his chin and pondered, "The Navy has seastone weapons to restrain the power of the fruit. As for the devil fruit itself, the Navy probably has a long-standing stockpile of devil fruits... Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the fruits of several admirals of the Navy are so rare and powerful? And the three famous vice admirals at present, Kuzan's frozen fruit, Borsalino's flash fruit, Sakaski's magma fruit... Three major vice admirals, three major natural systems, this is obviously being trained as the next generation of admirals, right? As for the technology to seize devil fruits, I think after mastering Dr. Vegapunk, the Navy is likely to master it... It is not impossible to even use technology to artificially create a devil fruit. In comparison, what's so rare about my ability to the Navy?"
"On the contrary, to other pirates, I may have become a thorn in their eyes, or a plague or something like that." Lynch laughed.
"You're still laughing? Aren't you worried?" Hancock wondered.
Lin Qi said nonchalantly, "Everyone has dozens of people who want to kill them! This is a common occurrence."
Hancock asked suspiciously, "Is that so?"
"Yeah." Robin said calmly, "There are also people whose whole world is their enemy."
Hancock nodded thoughtfully...
"Let's not talk about this. I want to ask you something about domineering." Lin Qi said, "Especially the domineering color domineering..."
Sorry, I broke my promise.
