Chapter 19 Training
[Chapter Header Serialization· Roger's Ghost 3· "Lab, have a drink with me"]
[At Gemini Cape, the old man with a weird hairstyle put down the newspaper and raised his glass. The sea surface in front of him broke open, and the huge head of a black island whale with scars stood up.] 鈥斺
After lying on the grass for a while, Lynch got up with difficulty, endured the pain all over his body, and did "Lily Gymnastics" with his stand-in.
This set of body was originally used by his mother to play with him. Although it seemed that it was not very useful, it did not contain any hidden tricks as Lin Qi had imagined at the beginning...
The original owner of this body had been playing with it for several years, but didn't seem to have achieved any results.
However, Lynch felt that this set of movements was still useful for improving body coordination, so after every day's exercise, he would do this to relax his body.
Lynch and the black armor completed the "gymnastics" in unison, then slowly stopped and stood at attention.
"I'm ready," Lin Qi said solemnly, taking a horse stance and clenching his fists, "Come on."
"BIB" silently walked into Lynch's body.
"Huh! Is that all?"
Lynch sneered, then knelt down on the grass. He was sweating profusely, and his muscles were trembling slightly under his red, hot skin.
Robin: “…”
………………
Inside the restaurant, a large table was filled with various delicacies. Lynch, looking like a starving ghost, grabbed a piece of meat and started eating it frantically.
After so many days, Robin had long been accustomed to the way he ate. She quietly took some food that suited her appetite and placed it in front of her. While eating, she paid attention to the movements at the surrounding tables.
Without the Hana-Hana Nomi, Robin can no longer use his ability to grow ears and eyes on the walls around him to eavesdrop. Instead, he has become more careful and is always observing every detail around him.
After all, even though Lynch used the Flower-Flower Fruit to disguise her, Robin couldn't be sure whether she would always stay by his side, or... whether he would choose to betray her and abandon her one day.
Furthermore... human energy is limited. She watched Lynch train so hard every day, knowing that he might be in a state of fatigue all the time, and it is not ruled out that he might not have the energy to take care of the disguise on her face one day; in addition, the ability of the Flower-Flower Fruit is also limited, and the range of application is not large. If she wants to ensure that the disguise on Robin's face exists, she must always linger in a place where Lynch can notice it, and she can't let him forget it suddenly. If he forgets, the disguise on Robin's face will naturally fall off.
In short, accidents can happen at any time.
Robin ate in small bites and stole a glance at Lynch who was eating voraciously beside him.
After twenty days, Robin's buzz cut had grown a little longer. Her true appearance was always a time bomb, and if she kept it with her, it might explode one day... Robin believed he knew this very well.
Although Robin had been with the boy named Lynch for twenty days, he still found him mysterious.
"Why are you looking at me?" Lin Qi said vaguely while eating, "Is there something on my face?"
Robin saw a patch of light-colored petals quietly growing on his face, and he couldn't help but smile.
"I'm not lying! If I lied to you I would jump out of this window!"
At this time, someone at a nearby table was arguing and shouting.
Robin and Lynch immediately turned their eyes over.
The one who was shouting was a short old man in his forties or fifties. Judging from the clothes of the people at their table, each of them had the name of a merchant ship on his chest, and it seemed that they were merchants traveling here.
The short old man shouted to the people at the next table, "I'm definitely not mistaken. The ones sailing towards this island must be the Wind Chaser Pirates! They must have heard about the legend about the evil spirit of Pirate King Roger on this island, so they became interested and wanted to come to your island to check out the situation..."
"Old Henry, are you crazy? We are a member of the World Government, and there is a naval base not far away. What kind of stupid pirate would dare to come here?" someone retorted.
The short old man Henry said disdainfully: "Is the navy only available today? If you say so, what kind of idiot would choose to be a pirate if they are so afraid of the navy?"
Surprisingly... it makes sense! The other onlookers thought silently.
"There have indeed been traces of pirates appearing on this island recently." Another person from a table spoke up. That person came from a small port town along the coast and sighed, "A group of pirates showed up in our town the day before yesterday. No one knows when they came or where they docked their pirate ship... Although they didn't deliberately make a fuss or plunder, they were indeed arrogant and made the town restless. Everyone hid at home that day and didn't dare to go out..."
"Those people in the escort team and the navy, didn't do anything about it?" someone was shocked.
"By the time they realize what's happening, the pirates will have already run away! The people from Gunpowder will certainly not engage in a firefight with the pirates..."
Someone else said, "It seems that they all came because of the rumors about the evil spirit of One Piece!"
"I heard that the devil's son also appeared on the island a while ago..." someone added.
"Could it be that the pirates want to find the evil spirit of the Pirate King and ask for the legendary great secret treasure?!"
"How can that be possible! Besides, the evil spirits in One Piece must be fake, right?"
"It's fake! I saw it with my own eyes that day. It was really the evil spirit of One Piece who wrote those words on the wall!!"
Everyone in the restaurant was excited to talk, and they kept arguing with each other. Someone even said that he got drunk and went out to pee in the middle of the night a few days ago, and saw the ghost of One Piece floating on the street with his own eyes. Another sneered, saying that evil spirits can't be seen with the naked eye? One afternoon, he was secretly using a telescope to enjoy the scenery with a telescope, and he saw a supernatural event. The curtains of a beautiful lady suddenly closed by themselves! ! It was so weird! ! It must be the evil spirit of One Piece! !
"That's because someone caught you peeping!!" Everyone around yelled at the guy angrily.
"Hey! Is this the time to talk about this?" A young man waved his arms anxiously and shouted, "That's the Wind Chaser Pirates! Their boss Lugia is a pirate with a bounty of 17 million!!"
These words were so powerful that the restaurant was silent for two seconds.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Yes, that was a pirate with a bounty of 17 million! Everyone seemed to wake up all of a sudden.
If the Wind Chasing Pirates really come ashore, who knows if they will come quietly and run away quickly like those small pirate groups, or will they wantonly burn, kill and plunder because they can't find the evil spirit of the Pirate King? Even if the navy will take care of it, even if the king's guards will resist, it will be the ordinary people who will suffer, and the small towns in the port! Henry, a short old merchant, said depressedly: "I hope those pirates don't set their sights on our merchant ships..."
My companion at the same table consoled me: "Don't worry, we have hired powerful pirate hunters as guards on our ship! It's no problem."
"It seems that they were all attracted by the sentence you wrote."
Robin finished eating and whispered to Lynch.
"Why don't you say that they became pirates because of what Roger said?" Lynch's belly was full and he felt his strength coming back. He said nonchalantly, "Since they are pirates, if they don't come to harass us today, they will come tomorrow. If they don't invade here, they will invade other islands. If not because of what I wrote, they will do so for other trivial matters. Maybe they are in a bad or good mood and just pass by to rob..."
Robin nodded but said nothing.
"Let's go home!" Lin Qi stood up, paid the bill and said hello.
………………
In the evening, Robin sat at his desk and poured two cups of hot milk.
Lynch rubbed his fingers, sprinkled flower petals on both cups of hot milk, sat casually beside Robin's bed, and gulped down the flower milk tea.
"You don't seem to like drinking milk." Robin opened the book and glanced at Lin Qi beside the bed in surprise, "but you insist on drinking it every day. Why?"
"It needs to grow!" Lynch put the empty cup on Robin's desk and lay down to rest.
In fact, it was his armor stand "BIB" who reminded him and suggested that he should develop the habit of drinking milk.
Why? Because if one day he can fill his teeth just by drinking milk, it means he has learned a new skill.
Lynch thought it made sense, so he rewarded "BIB" by having him do two more sets of pull-ups.
"Your ghost doesn't seem to be here?" Robin said suddenly.
Lynch looked at the ceiling, "How do you know?"
"Guessed." Robin smiled secretly and started reading a book under the light.
On the other side, the pitch-black armor was like a ghost, traveling through the hazy night and heading straight for the small village at the port.
