Chapter 198: Dragon, what devil fruit did you eat?
[Interlude: Lynch, the day you wake up: "The Useless Prince"]
[New World, Wano Country. The chimneys of the factories are emitting black smoke; the beast pirates are waving whips in the quarry; wooden monuments are standing in the cemetery; the cold wind is whimpering in the valley; in the palace, General Orochi is hugging women on both sides and laughing heartily; on the streets of the capital, the son of the previous general, the sworn brother of Whitebeard, the daimyo of Kuri, the "invincible" samurai Kozuki Oden, who was naked, didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, and laughed and danced a dance that no one could understand...] 鈥斺
Lynch was standing aside, and he had suddenly realized it.
No wonder he thought the old man looked familiar... After seeing the small wooden boat hanging under the balloon, he immediately remembered that this old man was the scientist from Sky Island where Nami studied weather magic... weather science! Unexpectedly , this old scientist would sneak into the forbidden Nine Snake Island to study meteorology. He is really not afraid of death...
Hancock urged, "Go! Fly!"
The two sisters in the small wooden boat were also very excited and curious about what it was like to fly in the air.
Haredas untied the rope, threw it into the boat, and rolled in himself.
Hancock called over to Robin, who used the Hana-Hana no Mi to grow a bunch of arms on the boat and pulled herself up.
"Giorno!" Hancock urged.
"I'm waiting for someone." Lin Qi remained calm and did not move. The big bear slapped him away, but did not slap his stand-in...
At this moment, "BIB" is still rushing towards the main body...
"And your ship..." Lynch reminded.
In front of him, the weather ship full of people hit the ground with a "bang".
Hancock, Sandasonia, Marigold, and Robin: “………………………………”
Haredas pulled his beard and said, "I've never had so many people on board at the same time..."
He looked at the 1.80-meter-tall Lin Qi and the 6.89-meter-tall Big Bear with great embarrassment. The weight of any of them looked like they could outweigh the weight of the old men and girls on their boat...
Big Bear looked up at the sky and asked gently, "Where is the 'Visalia' you mentioned?"
Haredas pointed to the sky above his head and said with a smile: "It's right in the sky above! It's about 10,000 meters high... Visalia is a small sky island!"
"Right above?!" Marigrude looked up.
"Ten thousand meters?!" Sandasonia was shocked.
"Sky Island..." Hancock looked up, confused.
"It turns out that Sky Island really exists..." Robin murmured. She had seen rumors about Sky Island in some books, and previously thought of it as a legend that was overly distorted and exaggerated.
Big Bear said: "As for the Sky Island...I can go there by myself, so I don't need to get on the ship."
Lin Qi laughed and said, "I don't need it either!"
As he spoke, his body seemed to dissipate into smoke, transforming into a ball of condensed but lingering air.
"Oh, is it a natural devil fruit?" Haredas said in surprise, "It's really rare..."
Hancock urged, "Since they don't need it, let's go!"
Haredas smiled and said, "Okay, then let's set sail."
As he spoke, he made a slight adjustment in the device inside the weather ship. Robin looked up and saw that in the small ball inside the transparent balloon, something as chaotic as an inexplicable electric current suddenly seemed to become more violent.
The pitch-black armor flew out of the forest and floated to the side of the main body.
Lin Qi smiled and said, "Let's go! The goal is the sky."
………………
In the woods of Nine Snake Island, a small wooden boat suspended by a balloon slowly rose up. Inside the boat stood an old man with a long white beard and four pretty girls.
"Go to the Sky Island!!"
Hancock squeezed between her two sisters and Robin, pointed her fists at the vast sky, and shouted happily.
Robin looked outside and saw Lynch transformed into a ball of air, leaving a snake-like trail from bottom to top, closely following the ascending weather ship.
Snap! Snap! Snap! There were explosions in the air. It was Big Bear who controlled the force with the ability of the Meatball Fruit and slapped the air again and again. He and Lynch followed the weather ship on the left and right.
Seeing this, Lin Qi couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Moon Step among the Six Styles... was developed by a former user of the Meat-Glob Fruit?
Inside the weather ship, Hancock raised her hand and felt around the balloon, looking at her hand in surprise, "Is this... wind? There's wind around the balloon?"
Haredas stroked his white beard with a smile, "This is weather science!"
"That's in the ball..." Robin observed the balloon, "Is it the stored magnetism? Did you use magnetism to create wind?"
"Hey, little girl, do you also understand weather science?" Haredas was very surprised.
"I just read some information that said magnetism can affect the weather and even shape the climate." Robin shook his head.
She recalled the information about Dr. Vegapunk. He once dreamed of creating a magnetic device to transform his hometown, Mechanical Island, from a winter island to a warm spring island...
"That's right. After adjusting the magnetic force, you can create wind... like this!" The old man took out a prop from his arms with a smile, "Like this wind knot..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"A knot?" Hancock wondered. "Isn't this a string of black balls?"
"Ah! I got the wrong one." Haredas was embarrassed. "This is the thundercloud that creates lightning..."
This guy obviously has such a weapon... Hancock was speechless.
"Ah! Found it, this is it. This is a knot that has been soaked in a special magnetic solution..."
Haredas quickly took out the real Wind Knot and proudly opened one of the knots in front of Robin and Hancock.
"Open one and you can get a breeze."
Whoosh, Hancock and Robin's hair was blown by a breeze.
"If you open two, you can attract strong winds."
Whoosh! Hancock and Robin's hair fluttered in the wind, and the wind directly blew the balloon and the entire weather ship to pieces.
"If you open three of them, you can summon a storm—ah!"
Just as Haredas was about to untie the third knot, Hancock punched her in the face. She angrily said, "Idiot! This is very dangerous!"
"It's just a demonstration!" The old man covered the bump on his forehead.
………………
"Wow! Nine Snake Island has become so small..."
After smoothing her hair that was messed up by the wind, Sandasonia looked down from the edge of the weather ship and saw that the island that they had thought was huge had become the size of a palm.
"Hey, what is that?" Marigrude's eyes widened.
Robin looked down and said in surprise, "What's going on...someone is following us!"
Lin Qi, who turned into a cloud and flew, and the big bear flying in the air, looked down, only to see a gust of wind carrying two figures flying up.
In the fierce gale, a two-meter-five-six-meter-tall man in a cloak came roaring in, hugging a two-meter-tall snake girl.
Lin Qi smiled and said, "Long time no see, Dragon! I have a question, what kind of devil fruit did you eat?"
I think calling Oden "fool" is really quite asinine.
