Chapter 289: Never Stop Until Death
"She is really anxious!"
Among the busy crowd on the shore, Lynch looked at Hancock's back as she left. As soon as he returned to Nine Snakes, he couldn't wait to grab Bonnie and rushed straight to the palace. It seemed that she had been thinking about this for a long time.
"In the past few months at sea, she has never mentioned Snake Queen once, but she has actually been worried all the time. After knowing Bonnie's ability, the first thing she thought of was to keep Bonnie on the ship, just for now." Robin stood beside Lynch, "To Hancock, Snake Queen is like her mother..."
"You're almost there," Lynch said to her.
Robin was stunned, then looked up at Lynch, and saw him smiling: "In the past few years, Snake Queen has been like a mother to you, right?"
"..." Robin was silent.
Three years ago, she was named the Princess of the Nine Snakes by the Snake Princess because of the Flower-Flower Fruit. During these three years, the Snake Princess was extremely caring towards her. Robin often thought that she didn't need to be so kind to her, because she had spent too little time with her biological mother, and she had never felt the slightest warmth from her elders when she was fostered at her aunt's house. Even if the Snake Princess' kindness to her was one or two times less, it would be enough for her to savor it for a long time in her heart.
All the books and records of Nine Snake Island were open to Robin. Snake Princess often took Robin for walks and chatted with her about the country and the story about the Flower-Flower Fruit that Snake Princess herself had heard from the previous empress.
For Robin, Snake Princess Tulip has quietly become a very important person to her.
No more important than Lynch. But important nonetheless.
"Go ahead." Lynch flicked his finger on her forehead, "You know where to find me."
Robin pressed his forehead and nodded slightly.
Before turning around to go to the palace with Sandasonia and Marigrude, Robin took Lynch's hand and hugged him gently, saying in his ear: "If you want to go out to sea, wait a little longer."
"It's okay," Lynch patted her on the back, "I'm not even seventeen yet, there's no rush to go out to sea."
Robin smiled. She didn't understand the inevitable connection between being seventeen and going to sea, but Lynch always had his reasons.
The two were hugging, and Marigrud and Sandasonia looked at each other.
"See you later."
Robin turned and walked away.
Lynch waved his hand. Sanda stuck out his long tongue like a snake and smiled at him, "I'll play with you later, Giorno."
"I'm always at your service."
After Sanda and Mary caught up with Robin and walked away, Lynch stood there for a while. Before more and more Nine Snake girls passing by noticed him, he jumped into the air, then stomped on the air with "pops" and "pops", making loud noises from bottom to top. In a blink of an eye, he reached the top of the high city wall, causing the Nine Snake girls who noticed this scene to scream or whistle.
That's the legendary man! Hiding in a corner of Nine Snakes Castle, only Princess Xu Lun and Lord Hancock can find him at any time...
Lynch didn't fit in very well in this women's nation.
In fact, he doesn't want to integrate into any country in this world.
In the past few years on Nine Snake Island, he has always been on the edge of the Amazon Lily citizens except for the three Hancock sisters and the Snake Princess. He did not deliberately keep people at a distance, and his attitude was actually quite good, at least much better than the pirates in the outer seas and some guys he didn't like, including his former bounty hunter colleagues; but he was not too close either, which was very strange for a place where he had lived for three or four years and was gradually becoming a legend in the ancient city...
………………
[Nine snakes, the palace——]
Hancock took Bonnie along all the way without any hindrance. When they saw her, the maids in the palace were all surprised and bowed their heads respectfully to greet her. When they looked up again, Hancock had already passed by in a gust of fragrant wind and gone into the distance.
"It's great that Master Hancock is back."
"But who is the person that Lord Hancock has captured?"
"Not like our Nine Snakes' girl..."
The maids were whispering behind her. Hancock went straight to Snake Queen's bedroom and pushed the door open without hesitation.
The bedroom was empty and the big bed was tidy and smooth.
A wisp of wind blew the curtains, blowing Hancock's black hair and brushing her expressionless cheek.
Bonnie broke free from her hand, full of doubts, "What on earth do you want..."
When she looked up and met Hancock's cold gaze, Bonnie shuddered and quickly kept silent.
Hancock stared at the smooth, wrinkle-free bed, and her heart sank bit by bit... She murmured hoarsely, "Asshole, who allowed you to die like this? I won't let you die..."
"Hey, it's Hancock, are you back?"
Snake Princess' voice came from the balcony outside the window, startling Hancock.
Lifting the fluttering curtains, the golden-haired Snake Princess, wearing a nightgown, climbed through the window barefoot and returned to her bedroom. She looked a little sick and her figure had become much thinner, but her grace was still there.
Snake Princess, who had been watching Hancock rushing to the palace from the balcony, and had just quietly looked at Hancock through the curtains, smiled at the increasingly beautiful girl and asked, "I didn't hear what you were saying just now."
Hancock said expressionlessly, "Useless guys, please get out of here. You have no right to give me orders."
The Snake Princess was not annoyed and smiled: "There has never been a Snake Princess who abdicated. Only death can take away the Queen of the Nine Snakes."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Hancock looked at her expressionlessly.
Ever since she learned that the previous emperor also died of lovesickness, Hancock understood that no Snake Princess of any generation would flee the country and live overseas for the sake of her own life.
What Hancock didn't know, but Snake Princess Tulip knew, was that the emperor's wife, Gloriosa Lily, who also suffered from lovesickness, betrayed her country and fled overseas, and there has been no news of her since.
Tulip didn't care whether the empress who fled to the open sea had recovered from her illness or died in a foreign land.
She looked at the woman with long pink hair next to Hancock, who had a hint of annoyance on her face, but seemed both clingy and afraid of Hancock.
This is a woman from the outer sea. Nine Snakes does not welcome men from the outer sea, but women can actually accept them, and there is such a tradition. After all, with such a deformed national form, there will always be a time when the fertility rate cannot keep up.
"she is?"
Just as Snake Princess was about to ask, Robin and Boya's two younger sisters came here.
"Jollen is here too..." Snake Princess walked over barefoot, held Robin's hands, and patted them with satisfaction.
Robin saw Hancock's black hair slowly flying and turning into a head of twisting snakes.
As Bonnie blushed and panicked, a snake sprang out and bit Bonnie's white neck, causing her to let out a soft moan...
"This woman is sick,"
Hancock looked at Snake Princess and ordered Bonnie, "I want you to heal her."
………………
On the wide stone surface at the top of the wall of Jiushe City, if you walk around for a short distance, you can see traces of human activities from time to time.
It was pitch black, as if someone had been barbecuing here from time to time. Of course, it was all done by Lin Qi.
When Lynch was too lazy to stay at Boya's house, he would use the sky as his blanket and the ground as his seat, watch the stars on the top of the city wall, eat barbecue, and chat with "BIB". In short, he was very casual.
Lynch stood on the top of the city wall and looked at the scenery outside the city.
Dense jungle and the calm sea in the distant doldrums.
"Before I knew it, I have been in this world for more than six years."
