Chapter 307 Swimming out of the Windless Zone with Bare Hands (Two in One)
If there is wind at this time, with flying catkins and fallen leaves, it would be best if there are a few willow trees on both sides of the river, which would surely create a stronger farewell atmosphere.
Unfortunately, this is a doldrums zone, without a trace of wind.
There is a small river leading out of the city, but there are no trees along the river.
The group walked out along the river. Sandasonia was steady and Marigrude was heartless, neither of them felt anything, only Hancock was a little more silent than usual.
Robin, without a backpack or box in his hands, walked slowly beside Lynch, who was also empty-handed.
Suddenly she looked back and saw two huge circular city gates half-open in the river. On the city gates were painted the Nine Snakes logo of a huge snake-haired skull. Four or five years ago, when she and Lynch had just arrived at this island, Lynch had said something very serious about that logo. It was very similar to the style of the pirate flag of Robin, the user of the Hana-Hana Fruit. Thinking about it now, it was still vivid in her mind. Robin couldn't help but smile, recalling what she had experienced on this island, as if it was just yesterday.
In the sentry towers on both sides of the city gate, the national defense soldiers on duty waved from afar and said goodbye to their princess.
Robin smiled and waved back.
"Hey, Xu Lun." She suddenly heard Hancock say this. She turned around and saw Hancock taking out a handkerchief from her arms.
Robin asked in surprise: "What is this?"
Hancock stuffed the handkerchief into her hand without further ado. Robin felt a sinking sensation in her hand and after she opened the handkerchief, she discovered that it contained an exquisitely shaped pistol.
"Is this for me?" Robin asked with a smile.
Hancock nodded.
Marigrude said, "My sister spent a whole night searching the palace treasury to pick out this gun!"
The Nine Snakes Pirates go out to engage in pirate activities from time to time. In addition to resources such as food, alcohol, swords, metals, etc., they also have some things that are not needed on their island, such as Bailey banknotes and muskets.
Bailey couldn't use it because their island had its own common currency, snake hair.
There was no need for muskets because everyone on the island was a warrior who was good at archery. Only the nagging ones could use muskets! Therefore, most of the spoils of war taken from the open sea were stored in the palace's warehouse for emergency use.
However, although Xu Lun is the Nine Snake Princess, strictly speaking, she is not a Nine Snake warrior, so she naturally does not need to worry about using a bow and arrow or a musket.
Hancock shouted, "Who asked you to be so talkative?"
Marigrude pouted. Sandasonia smiled and didn't care. Although their elder sister was arrogant, she was still warm to her two younger sisters.
Robin played with the pistol, which was a flintlock, but could fire rapidly.
She checked it skillfully - Robin, who read all kinds of books, also had some knowledge of guns, so it was not difficult to use - the internal bullet storage mechanism had a special expansion design and could hold three or four more bullets.
Robin smiled and said, "You wanted me to cooperate with the move 'He Hua Zi Zai', so you chose a pistol as a weapon?"
He used his Hua Zi Zai to copy the key parts of the enemy's clone, such as the heart, and exploded it with one shot. Although the enemy's heart would not be really broken, the pain of the heart exploding was not something that a normal person could bear. This was a very efficient tactic against the enemy... After all, Robin could repeatedly create clones of other people's hearts, and even create many hearts at the same time, putting them together and shooting them in a row.
I believe that no matter how tough a guy is, he will not be able to withstand this move.
Hancock nodded, her mood a little down.
Robin took a step forward and hugged the most beautiful girl in the world tightly.
She knew that the one and only Hancock didn't have anyone who could be considered a friend on the huge Nine Snakes Island - the vast majority of women on the Nine Snakes Island could only be described as Hancock's fans, admirers, and worshippers.
"Thank you, Hancock." Robin said in Hancock's ear.
Hancock let Xu Lun hold her without moving.
It was a great honor for someone to hug her, or even for her to be hugged by someone else! Could she still expect Hancock to open her arms to hug her? She didn't want to... Hancock saw Lin Qi winking at her and pointing at Xu Lun, so she reluctantly raised her hand to hug Xu Lun.
"Got it." Hancock didn't say you're welcome. Ha, thanking me, isn't that what I should do? Robin loosened his arms, "I'll see you again in the future! I'll definitely..."
Then, she hugged Sanda, Sonya and Marigrud gently, "Sanda, Marie, thank you."
Hancock muttered: "Who wants to see you again..."
Sanda smiled and hugged Princess Xu Lun. After hugging, Mary asked in confusion: "Why are you thanking us?"
Lin Qi laughed and said, "Because not only your sister has no friends since childhood, she is the same! Xu Lun must be very happy to have you as friends in the past few years."
"Really?" Marigrude thought for a moment, then leaned over and hugged Robin again, "You're welcome, Princess Xu Lun!"
Robin was a little embarrassed. He felt really awkward having his true feelings exposed.
Lynch and BIB stood side by side. Only the two of them knew that if it was Nico Robin in the original time and space who hid alone in the darkness and didn't trust anyone, she would never take the initiative to hug others and show her emotions...
Even on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, which is more in line with her style, when Nami, Luffy, Zoro and others are laughing wildly, she sits alone on the edge, holding a cup of black tea, smiling and nodding quietly, that's all.
It won't be passionate anymore. Twenty years of dark experiences have shaped her into that kind of person.
The version of Sister Robin in front of me is like a ray of slightly warm sunlight in the early morning, gently falling into the dew on the newly opened petals, reflecting a fine halo of light...
"Girono?" Marigold opened her arms.
"Me?" Lynch asked.
Mary giggled and hugged Lynch tightly.
Sandasonia also glanced at her sister and went over to hug her with a smile.
Hancock didn't move. Lynch opened his arms and laughed, "Come on, you won't be so disrespectful, will you?"
"Hmph." Hancock then reluctantly moved over and gently hugged Giorno under the gaze of her two sisters and Jolyne.
It's really time to say goodbye.
Hancock said: "I told you, I can actually lead the pirate group out to the Grand Line, and take you out of the Calm Belt at the same time."
Lin Qi waved his hands and laughed, "Forget it! I'm afraid... after you guys sent me so far, I might just follow your ship back again, haha."
Sanda and Mary laughed and said, "Yes, we will miss you!"
"So, how are you going to get out of the doldrums?" Hancock asked after handing a bag of bullets to Xu Lun.
"Isn't this difficult to handle?"
After Lynch finished speaking, he began to take off his clothes.
After taking off his shirt and pants, he took out the green Den Den Mushi that was always dozing off and hanging up the phone from his pocket, and tapped the little guy's forehead with his fingers.
"Bullu!" Xiaolu muttered dissatisfiedly, and a hole opened on his forehead. Lin Qi casually stuffed his clothes and pants into it.
Lynch now has three devil fruit chips in his hand, namely the Magnetic-Magnetic Fruit, the Gas Fruit and the Castle Fruit. He carries the Magnetic-Magnetic Fruit on himself on a daily basis, the Gas Fruit is idle and he is not very interested in using it, and the Castle Fruit is now stuffed into Xiaolu's body on a daily basis - the main purpose is to use it as a portable "space bag", which is very useful.
He and Robin's backpacks and luggage are now placed in Xiaolu's Den Den Mushi castle.
Lynch kicked off his two shoes and stuffed them into Xiaolu's mouth, then threw Xiaolu to the side. Xiaolu was caught by the dark ghost-like substitute and held in his hand.
"BIB" freed his left hand, reached into the main body's chest, and took out the Magnetic-Magnetic Fruit chip.
"Bye now."
Robin waved goodbye for the last time and approached the little green in BIB's hand. When he got close to the castle fruit covering its body, he suddenly shrank and fell into the hole of the castle.
Sanda and Mary's "big faces" moved to the front of the castle gate and watched the dark ghost holding the green Den Den Mushi floating off the ground and flying several meters high.
Lin Qi, shirtless and wearing only a pair of shorts, shouted at the shore of Nine Snake Island: "Let's go!"
After saying that, he leaped backwards, drew an arc in the air, and finally splashed into the sea, creating white waves several meters high.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The sea surface was calm for a moment, but it seemed as if there were torpedo missiles flying at high speed underwater. In the blink of an eye, the low buzzing sound rushed forward dozens or hundreds of meters.
Soon, the calm sea surface in the distance was broken, and huge waves were splashing up. At a speed of more than ten meters per second, and even faster, the huge white waves kept moving away. At first glance, it seemed that there were some ferocious sharks and sea beasts hunting in the water. It was very scary...
"Is he planning to swim out of the Calm Belt with his bare hands?" Marigrude exclaimed, "That's crazy!"
Sandasonia smiled and said, "But if it's Giorno, he can do it!"
Hancock retracted her gaze and looked up. The dark ghost hovering in the air was holding a green Den Den Mushi in its hand. Next to the castle portal on the Den Den Mushi's forehead sat Jolyne, a miniature version of her waving at them...
With white light in his narrow eyes and no expression on his visor, "BIB" turned around and flew away holding Little Green, chasing after his main body, heading towards the sea.
Everything is quiet...
There was no wind, and even the water in the river beside was as smooth as a mirror, and there was no sound of waves in the sea. Because there were no waves.
A bird's song flew across the sky above my head, melodious and lonely.
Hancock shook her cape and turned back, "Let's go!"
"Oh!" Boya's two younger sisters hurried to catch up.
………………
After speeding over the sea, even though it is still a calm zone here, I can still feel the wind blowing on my face.
BIB was flying in the air, white waves were surging on the sea below, and the main body was planning to imitate Pluto Rayleigh and swim out of the Calm Belt with bare hands... Having lived in the Calm Belt for several years, they knew which side led to the South China Sea and which side led to the first half of the Grand Line. As for physical strength, there was no need to worry. The main body's current physical strength was definitely at the upper level of the pyramid even in this world of One Piece full of monsters. It was just swimming, even if he swam non-stop for four or five days, it would not drain his physical strength at all.
Swimming barehanded across the doldrums is never a question of whether you have enough physical strength.
Even when sailing through doldrums, it is never a question of whether or not there is wind to provide power.
The biggest danger in the doldrums is the huge sea kings that inhabit this sea area! Puff, puff, puff! On the calm and boundless sea, high waves were stirred up wherever Lin Qi swam. Suddenly, a shadow slowly emerged from under the waves that kept moving forward on this still sea surface.
The shadow continued to expand and became like a hill.
Hmm? Lin Qi was swimming happily shirtless, and was keenly aware of the huge current rising from the water. His observation Haki also sensed a huge aura that was quickly approaching.
“Wow~~~~~~~~~~”
A sea king as huge as a mountain broke through the surface of the sea. Compared with it, the wave raised by Lynch, which seemed quite huge, was as small as a small white flower on the head of a great shark.
"What are you doing?"
In the broken sea surface and the surging waves, a figure like a black dot jumped high, stepping on the air with his feet, making a popping sound.
Lin Qi looked at the huge sea king that had broken through the sea surface and was staring with its head raised, and said unhappily, "I was swimming happily, who asked you to mess with me?"
After saying that, he turned towards the sky and took a moon step with a "snap". The whole person rushed down, and the moment he hit the head of the giant sea king, black domineering energy was wrapped around his feet. With a loud "bang!!!", the terrible shock spread throughout the body of the giant sea king, and even the sea water around it splashed, rolling up huge waves.
"Roar~~~~" A huge sea king, which was of unknown species, let out a cry of pain.
"Wow! The blood is quite thick!" Lin Qi laughed.
The giant sea kings wanted to eat him and hit him, but of course, Lin Qi evaded them all with his moon steps, and kept jumping, falling, and hammering...
The sounds of "bang", "bang", and "bang" continued, the sea was shaking, the currents were surging, and the big and small fish under the water fled in panic.
What happened? I don't know, just run away! Not long after, the giant sea king was bleeding from its head. Although it didn't die, it was also afraid. I'm still a child! I quickly dived into the water and sank to the deeper seabed.
Where did these humans come from? Why are they so cruel!
I really can't afford to offend...
"Since you are Poseidon's reserve younger brother, I will spare your life," Lin Qi said to himself in mid-air while stepping on the Moon Step, "Otherwise, I will treat you without using the Mist Kick - Crescent Moon Sky Strike!"
The stand-in flew over holding Little Green. Lynch made an OK gesture to Robin who was standing in the hole on Little Green's forehead, then withdrew his moon step, and fell freely. With a splash, he entered the water gracefully again.
Gurgle...
Lynch swam underwater in the sea, pushing the water with his Moon Steps. Every step created an astonishing thrust, and he leaped out dozens of meters in the water, and in the blink of an eye, he had covered two or three hundred meters.
The scattered schools of fish underwater discovered this fierce human being and fled even more happily.
These ordinary fish are not as smart as the merfolk and mermaids, nor as smart as the large sea kings - the giant sea kings are intelligent races, they can think and even speak, although their language is incomprehensible to ordinary people. They can watch the awakened "Poseidon" mermaid princess Shirahoshi chatting with each other - but they are also intelligent, at least intelligent enough for them to communicate with merfolk or mermaids, pass information to them, and sometimes listen to the orders of merfolk or mermaids and guide them.
Lynch had no interest in killing sea kings or fishing because he was not hungry.
Soon, terrifying white waves exploded on the sea surface of the doldrums, and rushed straight towards the edge of the doldrums, in the direction of the great route on the other side.
Robin sat at the entrance of the castle fruit on Little Green's forehead, following Lynch who was swimming at high speed with a smile on his face.
After walking for a while, Robin didn't know how much time had passed before he saw a huge "monster" flapping its wings and flying across the sky.
Two chapters combined into one, too lazy to separate them.
ps: I thought of a funny plot in the afternoon, which is to use a fruit to disgust a certain character, haha, you can guess.
