Chapter 293 Foreseeing the future?
Hancock was looking over the news text and pictures in the newspaper in his hand.
Fisher Tiger, the fishman who liberated the slaves in the holy land of Marijoa...
Slave? Hancock had not come across this word for a long time, but it was still engraved in her mind. She could never forget how close she was to this word. If it weren't for Giorno's hypnosis that controlled her body to fight, she would have been drugged by the slave traders and sold to the Celestial Dragons. If she hadn't read Giorno's book "Room" repeatedly, she wouldn't even be wary of the slave traders at that time. What would the result be, no need to think too much...
Now Hancock already knows that the book "Room" she read at the beginning was created and materialized by Giorno using the power of the Castle Fruit.
In other words, even if Hancock wanted to read the book now, it was no longer available.
But if she remembered correctly, in the plot of that book... the protagonist "Hancock" was imprisoned in a room by the "Celestial Dragons" and became a slave. "Hancock" was imprisoned for several years and even gave birth to the "Celestial Dragons'" child "Luffy". At the end of the story, "Hancock" used a trick to let "Luffy" escape from the room. Finally, with the help of the enthusiastic passerby "Tiger", he went to the room to rescue the imprisoned protagonist "Hancock", but he only found the body of "Hancock" who was killed by the prisoner "Celestial Dragon" to vent his anger...
Hancock had a deep memory of this depressing episode. But now, comparing the news in the newspaper in his hand with his own experience back then...
The "Hancock" in the story was kidnapped by human traffickers, and the same thing happened to Hancock himself in reality.
In the story, "Tiger" is a kind-hearted man, and in reality, there is also a fishman hero named Fisher Tiger who rescues slaves alone.
It's too much of a coincidence! Hancock read the news over and over again. After a long while, she wanted to ask Giorno next to her, but when she looked up, she saw that he was frowning and didn't know what he was thinking. So she gave up.
Hancock closed her eyes and recalled the details of the book. After a while, she felt someone touching her.
"Stop it!" She slapped her arms and slapped the clumsy guy away.
"Hmm?" Giorno's voice was full of confusion. "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Hancock was even more confused. "I told you not to touch me. I'm thinking about something!"
"Who touched you?" Lin Qi was depressed.
Hancock's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she looked to the other side expressionlessly - she originally thought it was Bonnie who did it, but she saw that the top of the city wall on the other side was empty, without a single person.
Hancock then remembered that Bonnie was still at the foot of the city wall and had not been brought up.
"Maybe there were some flying insects, maybe you were wrong?" Lynch said casually.
Hancock couldn't stand it anymore, so she started searching her body, but couldn't find any bugs after a long time. She glared at Lynch angrily and found that this guy was careless and his attention was obviously still not on her.
"what's on your mind?"
"I was wondering... did my observation Haki upgrade?" Lynch pondered. "For someone who can foresee the future and is a protagonist who is also a bit of a cheater, it's reasonable for me to master it naturally, right?"
He turned his head and glanced at "BIB", who looked at him, very confused.
It is an automatic stand and cannot maintain real-time communication of the five senses with the original body. It has no idea what "illusion" Lynch saw just now.
Hancock didn't quite understand what the guy was talking about in the second half of his sentence, but his observation Haki was upgraded? Lynch explained to her: "There are people in the sea who have trained their observation Haki to the point where they can even foresee the short future..."
"so what?"
"I seemed to see something just now..." Lin Qi pointed at his eyes with two fingers, and then pointed at the air in front of him, "I saw Xu Lun who was exhausted from practicing in the woods..."
Hancock fell silent.
Lynch turned around and looked at the scene of nine snakes inside the city wall. The training ground that Robin often went to was opposite here, in the woods outside the city wall behind the palace.
Holding Hancock's slender waist, Lynch took a few steps forward and fell straight into the city wall.
The Moon Step hovered in the air and landed lightly.
Hancock turned around and saw Bonnie doing horse stance at the foot of the city wall, with her high heels in her mouth.
Lynch was no stranger to such scenes, as he had witnessed even more outrageous ones before... All he could say was that Hancock, a naturally domineering guy, seemed to have awakened some skill to abuse others. However, with her looks and charm, no matter how outrageous she was, no one had the heart to blame her, not even Bonnie herself.
Bonnie had endured shame and humiliation by her side for several months, and even though she had some resentful thoughts, she was so intoxicated by Hancock's charm that she forgave her.
"Come here." Hancock said to Bonnie coldly.
Bonnie was relieved.
For the physical monsters in the pirate world, horse stance is not a very strenuous exercise. If Lynch wants to, he can do horse stance for days and nights without feeling anything. Although Bonnie is not a physical master, she is a devil fruit user after all, and her physical strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Therefore, even though she has been doing horse stance for a long time, she is not too tired.
Looking at Hancock, who seemed to be shrouded in the aura of a goddess, Bonnie slowly knelt down and handed the high-heeled shoes in her mouth to her feet.
Looking at the pair of bare feet so close to her, stepping on the grass, as smooth as jade, Bonnie couldn't help but swallow a little...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Hancock ignored her, put on her high heels, and went back to Nine Snake City with Lynch.
"I'm going over there to find Xu Lun, what about you?" Lin Qi asked.
"To verify your so-called foresight of the future?" Hancock shook her head and said, "That's just your illusion! Even if your Observation Haki has undergone a transformation, foresight of the future doesn't seem to be an extension of your Observation Haki..."
Hancock was also very familiar with Giorno's observation Haki. His observation Haki's specialty was to distinguish different auras and their strengths. What does it have to do with foreseeing the future? "Also, I heard that the transformation of ordinary people's domineering aura is often due to the pressure of a real life-and-death battle." Hancock thought for a moment and said, "Girno, you haven't had any high-intensity battles recently, right?"
Lin Qi nodded. He was used to letting BIB go for a while, intentionally differentiating the difference in strength between it and the main body, even if it was only a slight difference. Then, every once in a while, before collecting it, he would fight a hearty battle with the substitute armor with different strengths as the main body, so as to hone his own strength.
He had just recovered "BIB" two days ago and released it after synchronizing the strength and memory of both parties. They haven't had much of a competition yet.
The three returned to the city and ran into Sandasonia and Marigold. The two walked hand in hand and seemed to have just returned from the training ground. They had joined the pirate group and occasionally helped the national warriors share some work when they were not at sea, but generally they had nothing to do except training and going to the training ground to guide the younger warriors.
Sanda and Mary were chatting, and when they saw the three people coming, they waved and smiled, "Sister, Giorno, Bonnie."
Lin Qi said: "What are you talking about so happily?"
"Are you very happy?" Sanda shook his head. "Rather, I am confused..."
Mary said solemnly: "Just now, my second sister and I both had hallucinations!"
Sanda nodded and said thoughtfully, "I wonder if it's because I haven't seen Princess Xu Lun much recently, so I actually have hallucinations in front of my eyes. I can see her and even touch her..."
A question mark slowly appeared above Hancock, Bonnie and Lynch's heads.
Lynch and Hancock, in particular, looked at each other and became serious.
"It seems that I can't foresee the future," said Lynch.
"It seems that it was not my illusion that I was touched," Hancock said at the same time.
