Chapter 30 Do You Believe in Gravity?
Before meeting Lynch, Robin had only one person he could call a friend: Haguvar D. Sauro.
Sauro is a former vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters. He is a giant as big as a hill, but he is very gentle and kind. If it weren't for his life-saving rescue, Robin would never have survived the Navy's demon-killing order that covered her hometown, O'Hara Island; if it weren't for his righteous words, the Navy Vice Admiral Kuzan, who seemed to be made of ice, would never have let her, the "devil's child", escape from O'Hara...
Kuzan.
Ice... Robin looked at the frost spreading to the ground under his feet, with an undisguised horror in his eyes.
She will never forget that Sauro was frozen into a huge ice sculpture by such power and died with a smile on his face...Is that terrifying, invincible and powerful navy chasing after him?
Pah! Lynch patted Robin's head lightly with his palm, "Let's go, what are you doing?"
Robin suddenly woke up and was dragged by Lynch to continue running away.
She couldn't help but look back. The frost spreading on the ground followed their footsteps like a poisonous snake.
Of course Lynch also noticed this situation.
"What does Aokiji mean?" He wondered. "At this stage, he should want to see how far Robin, the last spark of O'Hara who his former friend Sauro desperately tried to save, can go. So he doesn't want to kill her... In that case, what does this guy want to do by showing up?"
Could it be that Aokiji was coming for him?
Was the stand-in exposed?
Or is it that guy Aokiji who simply can't stand seeing Nico Robin settle down and doesn't allow the little girl to have a friend or something?
Lynch's pace gradually slowed down.
Robin was surprised and slowly stopped. She looked at the distance ahead where she could leave, then turned back to look at Lynch who had stopped. Suddenly, a feeling of uneasiness and panic surged into her heart.
She saw Lynch's left hand slowly inserted into his own chest.
It was as if that hand entered her body that day.
"Could it be..." Robin bit her lip. She had imagined this possibility countless times in these days, but at this moment she didn't want it to really happen.
Lynch took out an inverted triangle chip covered with flower patterns from his body and handed it to his right hand wearing an arm armor covered with red flame patterns.
Petals fell from his face. He smiled and walked towards Robin, who looked helpless.
The disguise on Robin's face was also being removed, the petals fell off, revealing his true face.
Her sensitive intuition realized Lin Qi's attitude, so she took a half step back and begged in a low voice: "No! Let's go together... Okay?"
"Nico Robin, do you believe in 'gravity'?"
Walking up to Robin, holding the girl's slightly trembling shoulder with his left hand, Lynch looked directly into the latter's dark green eyes, "Maybe soon, or maybe in twenty years... No matter what, no matter how vast the sea is, we are destined to meet again!"
As he spoke, his right hand, which was covered with red flame patterns, grabbed the chip of the Hana-Han-No-Mikoto and thrust it into Robin's chest, whose eyes were red.
In an instant, it seemed as if a subtle electric current surged into every part of my body.
Robin felt it, it was back, everything about the Hana-Hana Fruit was back.
And the cold air and chill also followed.
Robin couldn't help but shudder. She looked at Lynch, but she couldn't muster up the courage to ask him to go with her.
A "devil's child" like her is destined to be hunted down by the World Government...
"Let's go. You should be able to make better use of the Flower-Flower Fruit now." Lin Qi said, "If you are alone, that person will definitely not embarrass you!"
Did he know about that navy man...Robin had long noticed that Lynch always seemed to know everything about her.
Lynch pushed her gently and said, "Let's go!"
Robin gripped the straps of his backpack, his mind in a mess, he turned around to wipe his tears, and asked back, "Why are you so nice to me?"
Lin Qi suddenly laughed and said, "Sister Robin, because I'm your fan!"
Robin became even more confused after hearing this. She held back her tears, and through the surging coldness, which almost formed a large layer of frost on her hands, she took one last look at Lynch's appearance, and finally ran away with her bag on her back, disappearing into the hazy night.
“It’s so cold!”
"What's going on? Did the temperature drop suddenly?"
Lin Qi vaguely heard some exclamations coming from the direction where Robin escaped. Maybe Aokiji was using his ability to clear the way for her? This unlucky navy, helping a little girl is so awkward! Look at how open-minded Cap is. The Pirate King entrusted his son to him and took him home to raise him as a grandson. How could he be like Aokiji, following and monitoring like a stalker, and it seems that he is particularly jealous of others, chasing an eight-year-old girl to flee across the sea...
Lynch thought as he walked on the street where there were few pedestrians.
He put one hand in his pocket and held the backpack on his shoulder with the other hand. It was tens of millions in cash. Although the face value of the Bailey bills was large, it was also heavy. However, after so many days of high-intensity training, this level of weight was not too much trouble for the restricted Lynch. He looked through the eyes of the helmet and carefully observed what BIB had seen along the way when he created chaos before, especially the part where he met Aokiji in the tavern...
"Hey! You kid!" At this time, someone suddenly called Lin Qi.
It was a uniformed guard. In the dim night, the guard squinted at Lin Qi who was passing by and shouted, "It's so late, don't run around..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As he came closer, Lynch rolled his eyes and shrugged. The "BIB" with whom he had a very good understanding instantly left his body and transformed into a dark phantom armor, which rushed over and punched the guard who was about to do something.
Bang! A heavy punch hit the other person's back of the head, catching him off guard and causing him to faint on the ground.
Lin Qi didn't even stop, holding the bag in one hand, and continued walking forward.
"BIB" followed slowly beside him.
To outsiders, it looked as if the guards were trying to scam the kid. They took a few steps closer, before they could even touch the kid, they suddenly fell to the ground...
Lynch chose a place different from the direction Robin left and planned to leave the city.
Of course it would be best if we could leave without any problems.
but……
Lynch suddenly stopped, a trace of chill wrapped around his ankles, the cold air swirled and slowly dissipated.
"It's finally here!" he thought to himself.
Sizzle, frost spread from Lin Qi's toes forward...
Frost climbed up the tires, the poles, the seats, the black leather shoes, the clean trouser legs, and the straight trousers...
Under the faint moonlight, a bicycle was lying across the middle of the road.
The tall man with a sleeping mask on his naturally curly black hair stood on one foot, his elbow resting on the bicycle head to support his cheek, and his other hand playing with a swirling frost cold air. He yawned lazily and said in a deep voice: "HO~HO~, kid, the one following you, is it the so-called evil spirit of the Pirate King?"
Lin Qi nervously grasped the backpack strap and asked cautiously and "confusedly": "Who are you?"
"In other words, you don't deny it?" Kuzan's tone became a little more serious.
He snapped his fingers and a few ice chips flew out. He got off the bicycle and strode up to Lynch with his hands in his trouser pockets.
A big man over two meters tall standing so close to me created a huge sense of oppression even if he did nothing.
Kuzan looked at the seemingly empty air next to the boy. The pitch-black armor that ordinary people could not see stood quietly in front of him, and the eyes glowing white looked into his eyes.
"Could it be a ghost-type devil fruit ability?"
Lin Qi's face turned pale and he asked in astonishment: "How did you know?!"
