Chapter 267: My Lin Bao was having fun with his friends, who allowed you to mess it up?
"BIB" was like a black ghost, wandering on the land of Magniphi Island.
The reason why I didn't fly higher was that I didn't want to be discovered by others.
Of course, ordinary people cannot detect it as a stand, but people with Observation Haki can.
The moment it landed at the port of this island, the main body and its observation Haki could vaguely feel the unusual aura on this island.
At first, I had a preconceived notion that those auras that were obviously much stronger than those of ordinary people, and there were so many of them, were probably pirates, hunters, and ordinary masters on the sea who came to this island to participate in the competition.
But it wasn't long before "BIB" noticed something was wrong.
Most of the auras that caused it to misunderstand were gathered in the same place. "BIB" speculated that it was the venue for the grand competition.
But there were two other powerful auras on the island, which were much stronger than the others! If they were also here to participate in some kind of competition, then this competition should have been announced to be over long ago. Even if the princess and king of this island chose a defense competition similar to the Nine Snake Island, the other enthusiastic participants should have withdrawn early when they saw those two extraordinary masters coming on stage...
Those two auras of strength that exceeded normal standards were not here to participate in the competition.
Then, the identity of the ordinary auras that always surround those two auras - these ordinary auras are even weaker than the many people gathered in the competition venue - is worthy of consideration.
"BIB" slowly floats in the streets and alleys, with the observation Haki. The more you want to improve the accuracy, the calmer you have to be. When you are most focused, you don't even have time to care about anything else.
Fortunately, "BIB" is a "ghost" and does not need to care about the people passing by even on the street.
It suddenly looked up, and in the distant air, its observation Haki caught a glimpse of a passing breath.
This aura is not weak.
It was stronger than many of the auras in the large arena in the royal city;
And it's still flying in the sky... That is to say, it's very likely a user with natural abilities; after all, according to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, there are very few superhuman and animal-type abilities with the ability to fly, which can be considered rare.
Smoker.
I see… he’s from the navy.
Those two strong auras seemed to be at least general officers of the Navy Headquarters, probably powerful vice admirals. Ordinary brigadier generals or even major generals, Sengoku or Marshal Sora, would not send them to fight head-on with "Kujo Jolyne" and "Giovanna Giorno" who were mixed in the fighting race Nine Snakes Pirates...
However, by sending two vice admirals at once, plus Smoker and a number of outstanding navy officers, Sengoku and the others were really giving face to the main body.
But, is this level really enough?
BIB hovered beside a passerby, glanced at the fresh newspaper in the other person's hand, casually glanced at the reports on "Kujo Jolyne" and "Giovanna Giorno" on the front page, as well as those relatively clear photos, and then flew away calmly to continue to carry out the mission given to it by its main body...
It is two sides of the same coin with Lynch.
Since it quickly saw the situation on the island, the original body must be the same.
Two vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters, plus Smoker and other so-and-so... Since it doesn't care much, the main body probably doesn't think it matters either.
You see, in my perception, the main body and the Nine Snakes’ people have already entered the venue of the competition.
"BIB" continued to stick to the ground, ignoring any obstructions from walls and houses, and moved forward.
The original body's order was that when he and Robin returned to the ship, they should try to find the so-called "Iron Demon" on the island, that is, the user of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, and take the other party's Magnet-Magnet Fruit chip.
The protagonist of a horror legend that circulates in this sea area.
Even if his own strength is not strong enough to allow BIB to quickly find his whereabouts through his observation Haki.
He will definitely leave many clues on this island.
"BIB" wanders silently in the towns of Magniphi Island. All the maze-like houses, thick walls with hidden mezzanines, filthy cages, basements full of blood plasma... are meaningless to it. Whispers hidden in any corner may be heard by it passing by, and as long as it is interested, the other party's secrets will eventually be revealed: don't forget, as Lynch's stand-in, it also copied Lynch's hypnosis ability.
After touring Magniphi Island, questioning more than a dozen people with hypnosis, searching five or six secret basements on the island - which looked like laboratories but were full of blood, with broken limbs soaked in formalin, and breaking the hands of seven or eight thieves, stripping two idiots who had attempted to commit adultery with decent women and throwing them into the busy street, and hypnotizing a crying little boy on the side of the road to make him believe that he was the happiest and most handsome boy in the world, "BIB" got a clue about the so-called "Iron Devil".
…
"Haiyuan calendar year 1504, November 21, nice weather"
"20th comparative experiment"
"Experimental material: Blood from healthy men aged 50 to 60"
"Experimental process: Same as last time"
"Experimental results: The same results again, and the same questions... Why does human blood make me feel weak like sea water? Since blood, like sea water or even ordinary water, can restrain Devil Fruit users, why doesn't the blood in my own body have the same negative impact on me?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Experimental summary: Perhaps, I should try the blood of another Devil Fruit user..."
"BIB" put down the experimental log silently. Of course, no one would hear it even if it spoke...
Tap, tap, tap, tap... There were disorderly footsteps approaching overhead.
"BIB"'s narrow eyes were glowing white. There were three kinds of footsteps and three kinds of aura approaching.
Approaching the entrance to a basement in the palace.
In the underground laboratory, in jars of glass containers, crimson plasma was still. Gulp, gurgle... The stagnant plasma suddenly became agitated. The outer shell of the glass container could not reflect the face of the dark double, and it turned back to look up. Boom... The entrance door above was opened, and a ray of light came through, reflecting three figures. One of them said anxiously: "Hey, King, what are you doing...ah!!"
The plasma in the many glass containers swayed slightly, forming whirlpools... pointing to the figure at the door above.
The Magnet-Magnet Fruit, has it been developed to the point where it can attract iron in the blood... 『BIB』 thought to himself, and turned into a phantom and rushed up. There were three people standing at the entrance, the king, a sturdy man who looked like a pirate, and Princess Olsen who was quietly following the two. 『BIB』 clenched his left fist covered with blue flame patterns, and in front of the three people who were unaware, he punched the king's chest who was holding the pirate's neck.
…
Poof! Blood spurted out.
A round hole exploded in the man's chest, and he could see the arrow embedded diagonally in the ground from behind, with its tail feathers trembling slightly.
With a thud, the pirate knelt down, his pupils blurred, and fell to the ground.
Behind him, the Nine Snake Female Warrior turned over nimbly, pulled out the arrow that was stuck in the ground, put the snake bow on again, bent the bow and shot an arrow, and another sharp arrow flew out.
The arrow wrapped in a thin layer of Armament Haki spun and split the air, passing through another Nine Snake Warrior who was fighting a pirate, passing by the hair of Sandasonia, whose lower body had transformed into a green snake and was leisurely chatting with several marines in front of her, passing by Marigold who was slapping all the pirates and marines away with one palm, and shot straight at the vice admiral with a really strange hairstyle and an equally strange name, Flying Squirrel, who was slowly drawing his sword...
Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel had a serious look in his eyes. When the domineering arrows of the Nine Snake Warriors had flown in front of him, his blade had already landed on the tip of the oncoming arrow without him noticing.
The moment the blade touched the tip of the arrow, it was covered with a layer of black color, splitting the arrow in half vertically from front to back... The domineering long sword coated with a layer of black armed color did not slow down, and it drew a sharp blade light and slashed towards Lynch who was playing foolishly with Smoker, but the blade was stepped on by a black high-heeled shoe that fell from the sky.
"He was having fun with his friends. Who gave you permission to mess things up?"
