Chapter 21 You're looking at me, aren't you!
At daybreak, a group of young men in the village tied up the naked pirates, dragged the guy whose head was blown off by "themselves", and contacted the people at the nearest naval base.
This is a member state. Every household on the island not only has to pay gold from heaven to support the Celestial Dragons in Marijoa every year, but also has to squeeze out money to pay taxes to the World Government, and the World Government provides protection for the member states.
The navy does not produce anything, so where does their military funding come from? It comes from the taxes collected by the World Government from the citizens of the member countries.
Therefore, if something happens on the island and it is harassed by pirates, the naval base should not be negligent in principle and must deal with it seriously.
To a certain extent, the World Government and the Navy are actually not much different from Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido and other sea emperors.
The World Government protects the member states, collects taxes, and also extorts extra celestial gold on behalf of the Celestial Dragons, and then provides legal military protection for the member states;
The emperors of the sea each gathered some non-member countries, either forcing them or not, and had them fly their own pirate flags. While providing them with protection, they also collected some protection fees.
What the navies call balance at sea is, to a large extent, this kind of balance.
If the structure of the maritime emperors is relatively stable, then those non-member states will not be in too much chaos.
Once there is a great chaos among the emperors of the sea.
Those non-member states under their respective flags will be plunged into war.
More people who lost their protection found it difficult to live a normal life and eventually had to go out to sea as pirates.
In the end, bad luck will still fall on the member countries and people all over the world...
People from the Navy Branch Base recently examined the body of the self-destructed pirate, interrogated the naked pirates, and took the Den Den Mushi to examine it carefully. Finally, they confirmed that this Den Den Mushi had contacted the Wind Chaser Pirates!
It's not like reading the data of Den Den Mushi...
The marines did their best, taking out the best Den Den Mushi feed in the base, and also bringing out the best-maintained, smoothest, and most beautiful Den Den Mushi in the base to entertain it, and only then did they dig out the information from the Den Den Mushi that had dialed the phone number of its fellow Den Den Mushi on the ship of the Wind Chaser Pirates...
In short, that was a vicious pirate with a bounty of 17 million! In the weakest East China Sea, a pirate with such a bounty would be considered a top-level villain.
Even in their West Sea, they can be considered a first-class large pirate group and can definitely be ranked among the top. That's why the naval branches in the West Sea are so troubled and have never been able to capture them or simply wipe them out.
As for more powerful pirate groups, there have certainly been some in the West Sea. However, those brutal pirate groups with tens of millions of bounties that make people's necks cold just by thinking of their names are basically ambitious villains who have long been impatient to stay in this corner of the West Sea and have jumped from Rasgape Island to enter the Grand Line...
Those extraordinary and brutal pirate groups naturally have their colleagues on the Grand Line and are naturally worried about by the people in the Navy Headquarters.
This villain with a bounty of 17 million is the responsibility of their West Sea branch base.
I just didn't expect such a vicious pirate to actually believe in the ghost of the Pirate King! The marines were speechless, thinking that pirates were just pirates, a bunch of illiterate barbarians.
The young and strong men in the village either lowered their heads, looked up at the sky, or whistled guiltily.
They don't want to testify that the ghost of One Piece is real.
Are there any benefits?
At that time, the ghost of the Pirate King had no ill will towards ordinary people like them, and even protected them from these pirates.
On the contrary, if they informed the navy and proved the existence of the ghost, perhaps the ghostly Pirate King would not be so polite to them.
They saw with their own eyes how weak those ferocious pirates were when they were played by the invisible evil spirits and how they were completely unable to resist.
The young and strong men in the village don't want to provoke such a strange existence.
And among them, there stood silently a man who was completely black, with blue flame patterns on his left arm and red flame patterns on his right arm. Only the visor showed a pair of white eyes.
It followed all the way to the naval branch base without being discovered by anyone.
Even when the marines were dismantling the pirate's Den Den Mushi, "BIB" came closer to observe, paying close attention to the operations and recording them one by one in his "mind".
There are also things like what kind of feed the Den Den Mushi eats.
"BIB" thinks that the main body should be interested in this.
After all, it originated from Lynch.
To some extent, it is a certain aspect of Lynch's personality, a special individual born from the combination of Lynch's potential life energy.
No one understands Lynch's thought process better than it.
Finally, the branch base sent a team of marines, armed with swords and guns, to escort the young and strong men in the village back.
When the marines arrived at the village, they dispersed in an orderly manner and entered the villages and towns along the coastal ports of the island to inquire about the news and keep an eye on the movements of the pirates.
"BIB" followed and wandered around for a while, then looked at the sky and thought that it was time for the main character to get up.
It floated between the villages that the marines passed by, passed by the merchant ships of the short old man Henry, quickly shuttled between houses and walls, crossed the wilderness between the port town and the royal city, and went straight through the woods like an invisible phantom...
Soon, the black armor returned to the house on the edge of the royal city and entered through the wall.
Lynch was yawning, rubbing his messy hair, pushing Robin next to him a little, and brushing his teeth in front of the mirror.
He suddenly turned his head with a sense of something, and saw a head in black armor popping out from the wall.
"Wait, I'm brushing my teeth..." Lin Qi quickly spat out a mouthful of white foam and stopped the double from returning to the nest in time. "You're so impatient, sit over there for a while! Oh, you don't have to sit. Just stand."
Lynch continued brushing his teeth. "BIB" quietly stepped aside and stood at attention, like a set of Iron Man armor on standby.
Robin was no longer surprised and knew that it must be Lynch's invisible ghost that appeared.
After washing up, Robin and Lynch made breakfast together.
Robin thought he was weird. Sometimes when she asked him to prepare milk or something, or clean the house, Lynch was not polite and didn't feel embarrassed at all. But sometimes, Lynch would clean the house excitedly, or he would cook at home when he was happy and didn't want to go to the restaurant, and Robin would just read a book and not help, and he didn't mind at all. At first, Robin was a little confused and didn't understand what kind of person this guy was. But slowly she began to understand...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just get along like ordinary friends.
"ah!!"
Lin Qi at the table drank the flower milk tea happily and soon started shouting.
Robin was calm, she was used to hearing this.
"I'm going to read a book." Robin said after eating.
Lin Qi bared his teeth, his attention seemed to be elsewhere. He waved his hand and reminded: "Don't go out casually. There are navy ships on the island these days."
Robin's heart skipped a beat, of course she was afraid of the navy.
Nodding silently, Robin saw that he was busy and took the initiative to clean up the dishes and wash them. Although he was doing the same housework, he didn't feel the grievance and loneliness that he felt at his aunt's house.
Lynch put his feet on the table, held the back of his head and rocked the chair, checking the memories from another perspective that flooded into his mind after the "BIB" was taken into his body.
However, he did not recall it directly through himself.
Instead, he released "BIB" again, put it on his body, and replayed those memories through its helmet.
Seeing it with the naked eye is more intuitive! Small fish pirates...
Navy Branch...
Den Den Mushi... Oh, so this is how this thing is disassembled and reassembled...
Hmm? Den Den Mushi can also use honey traps? These navy guys are really talented! Lynch looked at them quickly, nodding from time to time.
"Wait! Stop for a moment."
Suddenly, as Lynch quickly skipped over the last memory, the scene of "BIB" returning on the road, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
"Back a little, a little further..."
"Over there in the woods, yes, almost here, forward, forward... Stop!!"
Lynch shouted.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at the memory of "BIB". As it shuttled through the woods, a small object flashed past the corner of his vision and was easily overlooked.
The little thing was clinging on a branch, its two lollipop-like eyes staring straight at the moving "BIB".
This guy actually saw the existence of "BIB"!
The memory scene played through Lynch's eyes in the helmet met the eyes of the green wild Den Den Mushi on the branch in the corner of BIB's sight.
Why write such a stand that exists independently from the original? Because there are many unsolvable abilities in the One Piece world. For example, Sucrose's Childlike Fun Fruit, which turns people into toys when touched, and even their own existence is forgotten by others; for example, the Empress's Sweet-Sweet Fruit, which can charm and petrify anyone who is not an idiot like Luffy; for example, the powerful hypnosis...
I didn't want to write that the protagonist is immune to unsolvable abilities, so I created this special stand.
In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, such as when the stand-in interacts with the female character, and when the stand-in seems too helpless in the early stage and makes the protagonist feel invisible, I designed the stand-in to be in the form of Iron Man armor...
