Chapter 239: The Country with Only the Royal Palace Left (Yesterday's Part 2)
The people on the ship obviously had not heard of Giorno's name.
This name is somewhat famous in the Grand Route or the West Sea, but it is still a little less famous in the South China Sea. Moreover, it has disappeared for more than four years.
The couple looked up, obviously with a hint of fear. The husband protected his wife behind him, swallowed his saliva, shook his head and said, "No... there is nothing on that island. Now I'm afraid..." He smiled bitterly, "There are only some pirates entrenched on the island, right? We just want to bring our children here to take a look at the place where we used to live from afar... that's all."
He and his wife looked at the man standing on the railing of the boat, and they were very afraid that the man would kill their family of three if they disagreed with him.
They saw with their own eyes that this guy flew over from a pirate ship so far away! Why were they so unlucky to encounter such a monster...
Lin Qi said: "So it's just a tour... There's nothing on the island anymore, what does that mean?"
He was a little confused.
The man was stunned and said, "It means exactly what it says..." His expression was gloomy, "The Ice Cream Kingdom no longer exists."
Lin Qi was even more puzzled. Because in the World Conference chapter later in the comics, the Queen Mother of the Ice Cream Kingdom—in disguise of Joelle Bonnie—also appeared in the Holy Land of the Celestial Dragons. Obviously, the identity of the Queen Mother of the Joined King still existed. So obviously, the Ice Cream Kingdom still existed at that time. This contradicted what the man in front of him said.
However, Lin Qi was not so casual as to discuss such things with passers-by. He just kept the doubts in his mind and put them aside.
"She is your daughter?"
He raised his chin and gestured to the woman behind them.
The couple were only about 1.67 meters tall, but their daughter was 6 or 7 meters tall. Lin Qi had to look up a little to look at her when he was standing on the railing of the ship. The giant woman blinked. She looked to be about 30 years old, not young at all. However, her eyes were innocent and cute. She asked curiously, "Big brother, can you fly?"
"I know a little bit." Lin Qi raised his head slightly, "If you want to wander around in this sea, it will be difficult if you can't fly."
"Is that so?" The giant woman was amazed and stuck out her tongue. "I can't fly. I envy you, big brother!"
Lin Qi said: "So, if you can't fly, just stay on the shore. Why are you wandering around? Let's go!"
As he spoke, he turned over and jumped backwards.
The couple hurriedly leaned over the fence and looked down, only to hear a "pop" sound from under the boat, and the man on the pirate ship soared into the air, and just as he had hurriedly come, he hurried away again, crackling on the air... In a short while, his figure had disappeared into the distance, flying in the sky to chase the red pirate ship in front that was about to dock at the coast of Sorba Island.
"Big brother is so handsome..." the giant woman said enviously, "Mom and Dad, can I fly like that when I grow up?"
The couple looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. They have grown up like this, and they still need to grow up? The giant woman said pitifully: "Mom and Dad, I want to eat ice cream..."
………………
Lynch walked in the air easily and casually using the Moon Step. On the way, he looked back.
Both parents are of normal size, but their daughter is like a giant... This is somewhat similar to the experience of the Four Emperors Big Mom when she was a child. Charlotte Linlin's parents are also of normal human size. They couldn't raise their daughter who was like a small gluttonous giant, so they sent her to Elbaf Island, and she was finally adopted by a nun in an orphanage...
"What's going on?"
The three Hancock sisters and the others were ready to land and all came on deck.
Lin Qi landed gracefully. Robin came over, having used the Hana-Hana no Mi to "reshape her face" and restored her disguise as "Kujo Jolyne".
"They are just refugees who drifted to other countries after the Ice Cream Kingdom was destroyed..." Lin Qi said simply, "They probably want to see their hometown from afar. But they are afraid of the pirates on the island, so they dare not land... Oh, they have left." Looking back, the ordinary sailboat was indeed slowly sailing away. The giant woman on the boat could be vaguely seen waving to them.
Someone on the boat whispered, "Can't they go home? They are so pitiful..."
"Oh." Hancock didn't react to Lynch's words.
She was too lazy to show her emotions to passers-by, strangers, and even many people on Nine Snake Island. It was a natural "law" that the other party would actively try to please her.
There are only a handful of people in this world who can make her, who has always been self-centered, take the initiative - even just talking to her is not easy.
Robin said, "We are about to reach the shore."
………………
Two giant snakes were dragging the red ship at the bow, slowly circling along the coast.
The coastline is overgrown with weeds, with no obvious signs of human activity. Looking through the weeds into the island, one can vaguely sense a desolate atmosphere permeating the island.
"What is that?" A female warrior on the boat pointed in a direction.
On the shore ahead, where the water and soil meet, there is a huge block of rusty metal embedded in the mud and sand, covered by layers of aquatic plants.
The two giant snakes on the bow were very intelligent. They suddenly pulled the pirate ship to change direction and move a little further away from the coast.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The Nine Snake warriors, who were familiar with the two giant snakes of their pirate ship, immediately understood, "There is something under the water."
Lynch reached out.
When "BIB" saw the main body extending his hand, he immediately understood and took off his "ears" and placed them in the main body's palm.
When Lynch put on the "headset", the dark stand-in also flew up and entered the sea silently.
Most of the soldiers on the ship didn't notice it. Firstly, they wouldn't use their Observation Haki anytime and anywhere, and secondly, their Observation Haki wasn't that sharp. The only ones who noticed anything were Hancock, her two sisters, and Robin, who didn't need Observation Haki to roughly know what Lynch would do.
After his strength has leaped forward again and again, to the point where Lynch himself is not quite sure how strong he is now, Lynch will always equip himself with the gas fruit to play with, but he will no longer let "BIB" become a devil fruit user - one of the main body and the stand must not be restrained by sea water. This is a principle he set very early on.
Tap, tap, Lynch tapped the earphone lightly, and a virtual screen unfolded in front of his eyes. His consciousness was projected into the underwater "BIB", and he soon saw the underwater scene.
Spots of light flowed in the water, water plants floated like cotton wool, and beneath the rusty metal block embedded in the soil were pieces of...warship wreckage.
At the broken parts of the warship, one could vaguely see… traces of damage similar to bear paws. One after another, it was as if a brutal and terrifying giant bear had torn the entire warship apart.
The narrow eyes of the man in black armor moved close to the rusty outer wall of the warship. He stretched out his hand and stirred up the ocean current, wiping away the rust like dust, revealing the characters on the iron wall: S-23.
………………
〖Sorba Island, Ice Cream Kingdom, Coast——〗
The Nine Snakes Pirate Ship came to a stop, and some of the soldiers stayed on board.
The three Hancock sisters, along with another group of Nine Snake warriors, Lynch and Robin, went ashore, pushed aside the weeds that blocked their way, and entered the island.
Not far away, everyone saw a town ahead.
The ruins are desolate and old, and it is obvious that no one has lived here for a long time.
Lynch looked to another place, which was the direction of the center of the island. He could vaguely see a castle in the distance on a high hillside.
