Chapter 315: The Disappeared Mother and the Unexpected Encounter with the Second Sister-in-law
An aunt in the crowd said that she had seen the two pirates kidnap Amorin to the beach.
"I didn't see those two pirates had a ship. It looked like they had encountered a shipwreck!" The young man with a bruised face and nose looked puzzled. He was one of the people who had "captured" Lynch in an iron cage on the beach before.
Pirates without a ship? That's even more terrible! The villagers were horrified.
A middle-aged farmer asked, "Why did they kidnap Amorine? They're not going to skin her and eat her - ah!" He was punched by a rough-handed auntie nearby.
"Whatever happens, let's go over there and take a look first." The aunt cursed, rolled up her sleeves, picked up a spear and walked towards the sea.
At the aunt's house, the old fisherman rummaged through the drawers.
The villagers quickly found the woods on the west coast. They hid behind the bushes and quietly watched the figure in the open space ahead.
"It's them, a man and a woman. The man is handsome and the woman is pretty... Alas, how could such a beautiful girl become a pirate?" The aunt was heartbroken.
"What are they talking about?" "A lot of trees were broken, did they make those piled up wood in just half a day?!" "You may not know, that male pirate is very powerful! He can break the chains and pry open the iron cage with his bare hands... We can't be reckless, we have to use our wits!" "Use your wits... Hey, what are they doing, look, those woods are floating! The woods - the woods have become smaller, the woods have disappeared! The woods have disappeared one by one!" "What's going on?!"...
The aunt was very surprised. This incredible scene reminded her of Anne's sister.
The other villagers were also stunned. Seeing such a bizarre thing, they shouted in low voices: "It's witchcraft, just like Amorin's mother..." "Yes, her mother is like that, always crazy." "It's just like a monster. Fortunately it's gone. It was so scary before." "Maybe these two pirates will suddenly turn into ferocious monsters..." Beside them, the ear-shaped petals fell.
Lynch stuffed the logs into the green Den Den Mushi's mouth one by one and sent them into the castle inside its body.
After greeting Robin, he raised his foot and hooked up Little Green's mouth. Under the other party's "bolubolu" protest, he slowly got in...
"..." Robin glanced back at the group of people hiding over there, took the hand of the little girl Amorin, and followed them into the Den Den Mushi castle.
The two of them shrank rapidly and disappeared out of thin air.
The little girl Amorin didn't feel much, but found that the surrounding scenery changed from the woods to a cave with distorted patterns. Robin took her to find Lynch quickly. He was holding a pile of logs, and "BIB" was holding another pile. They came to an open area in the castle, where large and small carpenter tools were already placed.
"Hypnosis can be used like this." Robin chuckled.
Lynch looked at the logs and carpenter's tools scattered all over the floor, and said without raising his head: "It's because Little Green has a simple mind that the effect is so immediate."
"A blank piece of paper is more convenient for writing." Robin nodded in understanding.
White fluid surged on the twisted wall and condensed into Xiaolu's internal clone, which made two dissatisfied "pop" sounds at Lin Qi.
"What are you yelling about?" Lin Qi shouted, and after thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Why don't you just swallow the wood, use the power of the Castle Fruit to make a boat, and then spit it out?"
"Bolu?" Little Green stuck to the castle wall and asked with a question mark on his head.
"You see, I wasn't wrong to say that you were simple-minded." Lin Qi curled his lips.
Amorin stared blankly at the snail that had just appeared on the wall and was making a "boo-boo" sound. Robin teased Lynch, "Since it doesn't know how to swallow the wood and spit it out as a complete boat, why don't you use hypnosis to 'teach' it how to do it again?"
"Well said!" Lin Qi laughed, "Because I don't understand it either!"
Besides, the Castle Fruit is not the Swallow-Swallow Fruit. If you want to achieve a similar effect, it is only possible if you build a complete shipbuilding workshop inside the castle.
That would require complete theoretical knowledge of mechanical engineering, and it cannot be done instinctively like the user of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.
The Castle Fruit is not the Tun Tun Fruit, and the Tun Tun Fruit is not the Castle Fruit.
The Magnet Fruit is not the Thunder Fruit, and the Thunder Fruit is not the Magnet Fruit. It's the same principle.
In order to achieve techniques beyond the abilities granted by the fruit, the person with the ability must fully master the relevant knowledge.
Constructing a complete automated shipbuilding workshop inside the castle, not to mention that the green Den Den Mushi can't do it, Lynch doesn't know how to do it, and he has no interest in learning that kind of knowledge. Unless - give the Castle Fruit to a shipbuilding master like Franky, after he becomes the user of the Castle Fruit, he may directly build the castle into a mobile dock, and can also transform into a castle robot for combat.
"Captain, it's your turn to command from now on." Lynch and 'BIB' raised their hands together, "You talk, and we're responsible for the hard work."
Robin smiled, shook his head, and asked Xiaolu: "Give me paper and pen."
………………
A few hours later, in the Den Den Mushi castle, Lynch's head and body were covered with sawdust. He looked at the thing on the ground in silence.
It looked like a boat, but it was too small, probably barely big enough for him and Robin to sit next to each other. Secondly, it was stitched together in a very strange way, and it was crooked and weird, making people suspect that it would leak, disintegrate, and sink within three seconds after it went into the sea...Lin Qi looked numbly at Robin beside him. Robin avoided his sight and turned her head to look elsewhere.
Soon she turned back to her face, "I think... this ship is actually not bad."
Lynch took out the design of a wooden boat that she had drawn on paper. The style of the boat on the draft paper was very strange. After the operation of Lynch and "BIB", a carpenter with a negative level, what was created was the thing in front of them.
"Let's start over again!" Lynch sighed.
In a dark forest, a wooden boat came out of the mouth of the green Den Den Mushi with a "BIU" sound, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Inside the castle, several candles were burning on the walls, the flames flickering, and the entire Cthulhu-style cave was filled with the smell of wood.
"This place is too weird. I'm glad you like it." Lin Qi curled his lips. "One day I will have time to design a castle and let it transform itself."
"Shall I design it?" Robin seemed very interested.
"Student Luo, you need to have a basic understanding of your own taste." Lynch pressed Robin's smooth cheeks with both palms, "I will leave one room for you to decorate, no more."
The petals on Robin's face fell off, revealing her real skin. Because she had been covered by the "Xyloline disguise" for many years, her facial skin was so soft and white, and it was pink. Lin Qi believed that even Hancock, the overly narcissistic girl, would be inferior to such a perfect face and skin. He couldn't help but move closer and gently nibble on Robin's cheek.
Robin's face flushed, and he wiped his face in disgust and said, "It's all saliva."
Lin Qi leaned against the wall and pouted, "Don't you want to talk about her? She wants to be a pirate, and her mother and stuff like that."
Next to Robin, the little girl Amorine had already fallen asleep, wrapped in a thin blanket and smiling. Robin picked the sawdust from the little girl's hair and said, "Her name is Amorine, she is eight years old this year. When she was more than five years old, her mother left the island and never came back. There are many rumors in the village. Some say that her mother died a long time ago, and some say that her mother went crazy and drowned in the sea..."
"Some also say that her mother went to sea as a pirate, and that's why she never came back." Lin Qi said, "At least that's what this little girl believes."
Robin pondered for a moment, gently stroked the sleeping girl's shoulder, and said, "Her mother's name is Annie. I think... she is very likely to be a Devil Fruit user."
She ruffled the girl's hair in front of her forehead, and the girl grumbled twice and hugged Robin's arm.
Lin Qi didn't say anything, waiting for the next words. Robin said slowly: "Amoline said that her mother always dressed up as an animal to make her happy..."
She repeated what the villagers who were hiding had said before.
"So, it's not that he is dressed as an animal, but he is an animal." Lin Qi suddenly realized, "An animal-type ability user."
"Annie sometimes hurts her after she turns into an animal." Robin said, "Amorin thinks that's because her mother is too involved in pretending to be an animal... But it's very likely that she can't control her animal-type devil fruit ability, so she loses control from time to time... The bad rumors about her mother from the villagers can also prove this to some extent."
"Is it really a good judgment to make this judgment?" Lynch tilted his head to look at Robin in surprise. "You were also rumored to be a person who could use witchcraft before. You should know that rumors are not necessarily credible."
"But it's not necessarily unbelievable." Robin paused, "I think Amorine is very similar to me..."
"Mom..." The little girl who was sleeping in Robin's arms shrank her body, rubbed her cheek against Robin's arm, and murmured.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lin Qi said: "So, you don't plan to take her on board to join us."
"The sea is full of dangers, and being a pirate is not a reassuring thing. She is still too young. She said she wanted to be a pirate, but she doesn't understand what that means." Robin paused for a long time this time, "and... it's not a good thing to be too deeply involved with me... ah." There was a knock on the head.
Lynch looked at her, raised his finger, and pretended to knock again.
Robin lowered his head, then looked up at him, his eyes moving, as if to say, only a fool like you would be willing to provoke a disaster like me.
Lin Qi coughed lightly, stood up and did some chest exercises, then patted the shoulder of his good brother "BIB" who was standing guard like a sentinel, "Try again, this time with a bigger one!"
………………
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight shine into the woods.
The green Den Den Mushi hovering around the roots of the tree opened its mouth, and sawdust flew from its mouth like a firework. Four consecutive "BIU", "BIU", "BIU", "BIU" sounds were heard, and Lynch, Robin and the little girl Amorine flew out of the Den Den Mushi castle, along with the handmade wooden boat that was half the size of a room next to them.
Little girl Amorin yawned and rubbed her eyes. "What a strange ship..."
"Amorine!"
A cry of surprise was heard in the woods. Lynch and Robin looked over and saw the villagers sitting on the ground guarding, either with their backs against each other or leaning against tree trunks, holding harpoons and sticks on their knees.
She actually waited here for a whole night? Robin was stunned. This was totally beyond her expectation.
The one who shouted loudly was an auntie. When she saw the little girl Amorin was safe and sound, she stared with bloodshot eyes and screamed, waking up the villagers who were dozing off around her.
"Aunt Carlo..." Amorine was frightened and was hugged by the aunt who came running over.
The villagers approached cautiously, but except for Robin who looked at them twice, the terrifying young pirate, who was over two meters tall, ignored them at all and fiddled with the boat that appeared out of thin air beside them... My God, can this be called a boat? Who made it? "Big sister, big brother..." The little girl Amorin looked back pitifully, but Robin just shook her head.
The villagers protected the reluctant little girl and left. They breathed a sigh of relief after she was far away. They asked Amorin about her well-being for a long time and confirmed that the two pirates did not do anything excessive to her. Only then did they feel relieved. However, were those two people really pirates?
When the auntie got home, she was furious to see the house was in a mess. The old fisherman quickly took out the results and asked his wife to calm down. The auntie looked down and cursed: "Don't you know I can't read!" However, the photo on the paper looks very familiar... Hey, isn't this a bounty? Isn't this the pirate who kidnapped Amorin and released her?
The old fisherman lowered his voice and said in fear: "This is terrible, this is a pirate with a bounty of 200 million... You, you, you haven't offended him, right?"
The aunt comforted him, "Don't worry, there's no point in offending him. I don't think the young man cared about us at all..."
………………
Lin Qi glanced at the backs of those people and said, "It seems that she is not very similar to you. People in the village like her very much."
"..." Robin was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems to be like this."
"I take it back. I was wrong." Lynch grabbed the wooden boat that was half the size of the room with one hand and raised it above his head. "You are not unpopular in O'Hara. You have many scholar friends who care about you."
Robin rolled his eyes and went with him to the beach to lower the small wooden boat into the sea.
As expected, when Lynch stood on the boat, it started to leak after rowing for only a few dozen meters. After rowing for more than a hundred meters, half of the boat was already under water.
Two hundred meters away on the sea, Lynch was in a half-sunken boat and looked at Robin on the shore from a distance. Robin crossed her arms and silently chanted "He Hua Zi Zai". Lynch's body emerged from the ground beside her. She tilted her head and spread her hands and smiled, "It seems that I failed again." Lynch could hear Robin's voice through his senses, but he could not control it to speak. But Robin could probably guess his reaction -
Two hundred meters away on the sea, Lynch shouted "I'll do it!", jumped high, and returned to the shore using the moon step.
"Let's do it again!" Lin Qi pulled himself together and said thoughtfully, "At worst, we can just make a raft... At least it can float first."
The big trees in the woods fell one after another...
Lynch and "BIB" were probably the most tireless workers, and Robin could give them orders as he pleased, and soon the shore was piled with broken and failed ships.
"Do we really have to fly to the next island?" Lin Qi looked at the sea with melancholy, "Then I'd rather swim over... Crossing the sea with a reed boat seems like a good idea..."
He slapped away the hand that BIB extended.
Robin chuckled and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. Suddenly, he heard the little girl's voice behind him: "Big sister——"
Looking back, a group of people came out of the woods. They were villagers from the island, some pushing or holding various boat-building tools. In front of the crowd was Amorin, waving his arms at them and grinning...
"Let us take care of the shipbuilding!" The fishermen wearing headscarves smiled, but they all murmured in their hearts: Two hundred million Baileys, this is too damn scary, it's better to send them away quickly!
