Chapter 180 Playing basketball, fighting snake monsters, Hancock is gone

Lynch and Robin's life remains the same.

Robin read some books, practiced his Haki, and occasionally pondered the ability of the Hana-Hana Fruit.

Naturally, Lin Qi still practiced separately from "BIB". He focused on the physical body, while "BIB" focused on domineering.

The best way to cultivate domineering power is to break through in actual combat with equal strength. In order to achieve a more realistic effect, Lin Qi would let BIB practice out of body for a week or two. When there was a slight difference in strength with the original body, they would have a real battle of men, to compare domineering power and martial arts. After a thorough and satisfying experience, he would take it back to absorb the experience points...

Lynch enjoys this kind of life.

After all, even if he was lazy one day, it wouldn't matter, the substitute's training would always be completed meticulously, so Lynch could feel the improvement in strength no matter what.

I should be worried that Robin might find this kind of life boring.

Lin Qi felt that if he asked Robin directly about this, it would be like emotional kidnapping, forcing her to say that this was not boring...

How could Robin answer? Say that she was actually bored and wanted to leave for the Grand Line? But Lynch clearly didn't want to leave and planned to continue practicing and growing.

So Lynch never asked such unnecessary questions.

It's just that in addition to practicing, I try to find some fun. The Castle Fruit is a good thing. In the castle, as long as it is not a particularly sophisticated prop, "BIB" can directly materialize it. In other words, making a set of poker or cards is also easy. Lynch even let "BIB" open a separate basketball court, so that he can play basketball when he is free...

Time passes by step by step.

………………

Bang! Bang! The sound of basketballs hitting each other rang out in the substitute castle.

Hancock dribbled the ball straight to the basket. She was very competitive and had a burning desire to score, especially when she was far behind Giorno in points on the scoreboard.

Suddenly, petals bloomed on the palm of her dribbling hand, and another slender hand grew out, which gently flicked the basketball away.

Hancock shouted, "You actually use this ability?"

There were five identical Robins standing on the basketball court. She used the Hana-Hana Nomi to snatch the basketball from Hancock and threw it lightly into the basket.

The basket was covered with Robin's palms, expanding the originally small basket into a huge funnel, and the basketball rolled in, and score.

"This is cheating!" Hancock jumped up and down in anger.

Robin smiled slightly, "You are so amazing! Without this method, how could I possibly defeat you..."

"That's true!" Hancock's temper came and went quickly, of course this was for people whose looks she recognized. She laughed and said, "After all, I'm so awesome."

………………

Nine Snake Castle, Boya's family.

"Sister, what is this?"

Sanda Sonia and Marigrud made a set of 54 wooden cards according to their sister's request, and engraved symbols and numbers on them: 52 four-color number cards, plus two snake cards.

Hancock said: "This is called fighting snake demons. I will teach you..."

"Ha! I am a snake demon this time. You two Amazon warriors, do you want to defeat me?"

"A single 6?"

"Look at me, my snake explodes! How can I lose this time?"

………………

"How is it possible! How could you lose all seventeen cards at once?"

Hancock's angry shout was heard in the substitute castle.

Robin drank her tea, and the arm made of the Flower-Flower Fruit calmly began to shuffle the cards. She didn't leave a single one behind...

Lin Qi said: "Luck, luck."

“No more playing!” Hancock threw away the cards and pointed at Lynch angrily, “Let’s fight!”

Lin Qi remained calm and waved his hand. The small table and a set of snake cards in front of him turned into a white liquid and merged into the castle floor. "You fight Xu Lun, and I'll be the referee."

"Do you look down on me?" Hancock immediately got angry. She has been particularly sensitive since she lost to Giorno last time. "Do you think I can't be your opponent?"

"Yeah, I just look down on you." Lynch began to speak sarcastically, "I am defeated, and I am too proud to fight you again."

Looking at Hancock who was fighting a domineering battle with Robin and was suppressing the latter, Lynch stroked his chin and thought secretly, this girl's charm is getting stronger day by day. If he hadn't insulted her from time to time, she might have fallen for him at any time... In addition, the next time he fights with her, she will be so angry that she should fight even harder, right? That would be exactly what he wants!

Robin secretly complained, why was it that Lin Qi's mouth caused trouble, but she was the one who suffered the consequences...

However, even a domineering Muggle like Robin could gain something from sparring with a domineering master like Hancock...

………………

That night, outside the Nine Snakes City, a warrior in black armor sat quietly on the treetops.

In the castle's living room, Lynch was lying on the sofa, his face covered with a book, snoring, and on the coffee table beside him was a glass of fresh flower milk tea; on the small sofa next to him, Robin was curled up barefoot, flipping through a comic book with a cover of a group of muscular men in weird poses...

………………

In the Nine Snakes Palace, inside the Snake Queen’s bedroom.

Hancock touched the increasingly round belly of the Snake Princess, secretly marveling at the incredible change. How could the originally small belly of the Snake Princess fit such a large mass? The Snake Princess coughed lightly, signaling Hancock to be polite.

Hancock turned around and saw that it was the old woman Linglan who came in.

Hancock was too lazy to listen to what Snake Princess said to the regent, and suddenly asked, "What name do you plan to give the little princess, Lady Snake?"

"This..." Snake Princess groaned.

Lily of the Valley scolded: "This is not something you can ask about, Hancock."

Hancock was about to get angry, but she suppressed her emotions, showing a pitiful look, biting her lip and saying, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it..."

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

Linglan said: "If you have a good name... ahem!"

The old woman quickly covered her mouth to avoid further losing her composure.

Snake Princess smiled softly and gently stroked Hancock's black hair, "How about letting you name it?"

"Really?" Hancock's pitiful expression disappeared, and she blinked her bright eyes, "Don't regret it!"

Hancock left satisfied.

Lily of the Valley retracted her flickering gaze, turned to Snake Princess and said in a deep voice: "Tulip..."

Glancing at Snake Princess's calm gaze, Linglan changed her words and said, "Snake Princess..."

"No matter what happens, wait until I give birth to this child." Snake Queen said without question.

Linglan said: "But..."

Snake Princess said: "No buts."

………………

In the substitute castle, Lynch and Hancock had a passionate fight that ended in a draw.

Robin added an entry to the battle records of Lynch and Hancock on the scoreboard.

Hancock was so exhausted that she couldn't even move a finger. She lay on the ground in a very ungraceful position. She took a breath and stared blankly at the ceiling. Suddenly she asked, "Giorno, when I left a year ago, did you do something strange to me?"

Robin was surprised, and after thinking for a while, she remembered that Hancock might be talking about the time when Lynch hypnotized her.

Could it be that...

"When we were out at sea, three strange men sneaked onto the ship..." Hancock lay down, reluctantly recounting the incident briefly, and asked in confusion, "Just when I thought it was all over, my body moved on its own...Did you do something, Giorno?"

Lin Qi stood calmly, letting "BIB" pinch and knock on his body. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "You are really good at holding it in. You only brought it up after such a long time since you came back?"

Hancock said angrily, "I just don't want to talk about it. What's the matter? Just forget it."

"I did it." Lynch said, "Before you left, I hypnotized you. I gave you a suggestion that made your body fight on its own when it was unable to move."

"Oh..." Hancock lay there for a while.

I didn't ask why he did that, or why he seemed to have guessed that something like that would happen...

This made Robin, who was watching the show on the side, a little disappointed.

"That's it, I'm going back!" Hancock rested for a long time before regaining some strength. He climbed to the castle gate and waved goodbye, "See you tomorrow!"

But she didn't show up the next day.

The camouflaged Den Den Mushi hung around the foot of the city wall for most of the day, until it disappeared at dusk and night fell. The familiar flowery-dressed little human beauty did not appear as before.

Lin Qi said: "Are you shocked? But if I let her win on purpose, she will be even angrier."

Robin said: "Maybe there is something else..."

Hancock did not come that night.

On the third day, Hancock still didn't show up.

At the Boya family, the two sisters threw away the snake cards, tears welling up in their eyes, and said in disbelief: "Sister...how could it be?!"

The female imperial guard in front of him repeated with a sad face: "Tomorrow, Lady Snake will publicly execute Hancock..."
