Chapter 291 Hai Ming
Lin Qi flew up from the top of the city wall, walking in the air, and quickly circled in front of the flying newspaper seller and intercepted him.
The news bird was startled and fluttered its wings to hover. Two feathers fell off and it spun down in the air.
"You are so blind! Can't you see that this is such a big city?"
Lynch stayed in the air using the Moon Step, lectured the News Bird, and pointed to the Nine Snake City below.
The news bird was confused. For so many years, it had gone to work every day, punched in, delivered newspapers, traveled all over the country, and flown countless routes, but it had never encountered a situation like this.
Lynch felt around his body and finally pulled out a 100-Bailey coin. He took out a newspaper from the bag of the news bird, which seemed a little confused, and stuffed the coin into its purse and patted it.
"Don't think that we won't deliver newspapers here because this is a doldrum. You are discriminating against your region, don't you know that? I'm reporting you."
In the comics, after Luffy was photographed on the Nine Snakes Island, he happened to see a newspaper that reported that Ace was about to be publicly executed. It was brought from overseas by Grandma Ze on the Nine Snakes Pirate Ship. Lynch and Robin had lived on the Nine Snakes Island for several years, and they had never seen any news birds come down to sell newspapers. They were out at sea for several months this time, and the pirates led by Hancock must have purchased a lot of old newspapers, but Lynch didn't notice it.
This time we caught this news bird, we have to teach it a lesson.
The news bird was stunned by what the human said. It flapped its wings and looked down. There seemed to be a real human city below.
The climate in the Doldrums is weird, without any air currents, making it very uncomfortable for the news birds to fly in this area of the sea. In addition, there are often abandoned ancient cities and ruined human kingdoms on many islands in the Doldrums. Therefore, the news birds have never noticed the Amazon Lily with living people on the Nine Snake Island.
Under Lynch's kind teaching, the news bird nodded obediently, wearing a hat that looked like a sailor or a pilot, saluted with its wings, and flew away with a flutter.
Lin Qi grabbed the newspaper, suddenly landed on the top of the city wall, and unfolded it to read.
"The World Conference..."
Many pages in the newspapers were about the news of this year's World Conference. However, the World Government of the Pirate World was much more powerful, and all the news did not have any details about the conference process, and few real members of the franchised royal families were interviewed. Rather than political news, it was more like gossip. Even a newspaper tycoon like Morgans could not extend his claws to the World Conference in Mary Geoise Pangaea City.
"The Princess from the Dragon Palace, the Mermaid Princess's Mother!"...
"Princess Otohime's Issue of Peaceful Coexistence between Humans and Fishmen"...
Perhaps because Princess Otohime herself actively cooperated, there were quite a few interviews about her in the newspapers, as well as related special pages.
However, after all the talk, it's still the same old content, and Lynch is not very interested in it.
It's not that Otohime's proposal is bad. Humans and fishmen should live in peace. Do you want Lynch to support it? Of course Lynch supports it. But just shouting slogans and giving speeches are useless.
The Ryugu Kingdom has no strength to show for it, and it is dreaming to expect the world government to treat them equally, to expect them to give up the massive gray interests of fishmen and mermaids and instead support "fish rights".
Princess Otohime's interview was full of sincerity, but there were no specific policy plans. In fact, in Lynch's opinion, the plight of Fishman Island is very similar to that of the island in another comic. Both seek equality in inequality and peace in the hatred of both sides. However, in the other world, the emotions of the people of Paradis Island are more hatred than discrimination, while the people in the Pirate World are more greedy than discrimination towards fishmen and mermaids.
If the guy from another world who was eager to die was born on Fishman Island and mastered "Poseidon", he would have brought his giant army of sea kings to smash the Red Earth Continent, the Holy Land Marijoa, and every island in the world, turning the entire world into an ocean... What is this called, Haiming?
Lynch shook his head. Thinking about it this way, Princess Otohime is equivalent to Armin.
No, Armin at least has a dark, ruthless, and decisive side, but Princess Otohime is a true, peace-loving, self-dedicated idealist.
Lynch was looking at the newspaper when he suddenly heard someone calling Giorno's name below.
He looked down and saw Hancock at the foot of the city wall, looking up and calling him. Next to Hancock was Bonnie.
Lynch jumped down, slowed down with his Moon Step, and landed steadily.
"Take me up," said Hancock.
Lin Qi, who was familiar with her, could sense that she was in a bad mood. At this time, he and Robin were probably the only ones who dared to approach her.
Bonnie next to her had a flushed face and was avoiding Lynch's gaze. She didn't know what had just happened at the foot of the city wall.
Lin Qi asked: "Is it true that her ability can't save Snake Princess?"
Hancock ignored him. If anyone else had asked, they would have turned into stone by now. This bastard, he guessed it and still asked, what the hell! "Take me up." Hancock's black hair fluttered, as if she was about to let the snake hair gnaw on Lynch's neck if she didn't agree with him.
Lynch held Hancock with one hand, picked up Bonnie with the other, and returned to the top of the city wall using the Moon Step.
Hancock found the newspaper - the good thing about the doldrums is that there is no wind at all, so you can just leave notes and newspapers anywhere without worrying about them being blown away - and took a look at it, but soon lost interest. Bonnie, on the other hand, picked up the newspaper that Hancock had thrown away and was very interested in all the news about the World Conference.
"You can only succeed the emperor after Snake Queen dies?" Lynch and Hancock sat together on the edge of the top of the city wall. "You still have this tradition."
"Snake Princess is the strongest warrior of the Nine Snakes." Hancock sat beside him, looking at the sea in the distance expressionlessly. "Think about it and you will know that who is the strongest warrior is not determined by the will of the previous Snake Princess. I am a special case. My beauty and strength are obvious to everyone. I was able to be selected in advance. Even without Tulip's opinion, nothing would change."
Lynch nodded.
The environment on Nine Snake Island is relatively stable, and the criteria for selecting snake princesses is simple and straightforward, which is to choose the strongest one.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
I guess in their history, after the death of the Snake Princess, while the whole country mourned, they also held a grand competition to select the strongest warrior of the new generation to take over the throne of the emperor.
In the comics, when the three Hancock sisters escaped from Marijoa back to the Nine Snake Island, the previous Snake Princess Tulip may have died long ago. In the original time and space, Hancock was 18 years old when she succeeded the Snake Princess, but the Hancock next to Lynch is only 15 years old. It took two years for the slave Hancock to escape back to the Nine Snake Island, gain a foothold, and become the Snake Princess. Two years is short, but also long...
"So what are your plans?" Lynch asked.
Hancock looked into the distance and said nothing.
"Since the Snake Princess' duty is to die, she is unwilling to flee the country, and you are not a Snake Princess, so you have no right to order her." Lin Qi asked. Lovesickness is a terminal illness. In the history of the Nine Snakes, several Snake Princesses died of it. Not every Snake Princess can be like Hancock in the comics, who gets sick for a while and then recovers inexplicably as if nothing happened. "Do you want to watch her die?"
Hancock still didn't answer.
She asked back, "What about you? What are you going to do next?"
"Same old." Lin Qi stood up and stretched, "Practice, eat, fight. Wait until you become the Snake Queen..."
Hancock looked up at him, and Lynch smiled at her. He stretched out his toes, touched Hancock's exquisite and perfect chin, and lifted it up.
Hancock was stunned at first, then her face was filled with annoyance. Just as she was about to explode, she saw Lynch laugh, lean back, and fall towards the woods outside the city in a very relaxed posture.
"You annoying bastard..."
Hancock stood up expressionlessly, and Bonnie lowered her head and hair, pretending not to have seen or heard anything.
"BIB" put the armor on Hancock, stepped on the moon step and jumped off the wall, sending her and Bonnie down. After landing, the stand armor peeled off and escaped, like a ghost, penetrating the wall to the other side to find its original body.
Lin Qi walked through the woods outside Jiushe City.
The pitch-black armor followed closely, moving forward side by side with the main body, and the two soon arrived at the seaside, which was the place they often used for training.
A few sea monkeys were lying on the shore, lazily picking lice, and were all startled when they saw Lynch.
"Where's the wine you brewed?"
