Chapter 323: Cautious Pirates, Family Outing

〖The Great Route——〗

This sea with its unpredictable climate is rarely calm at this moment.

The JOJO Pirate Ship sets sail.

Kerla was standing on the deck, not cleaning.

She took off her shirt, clasped her hands together, and held the clothes in front of her to cover her body.

The head is missing...

There was no blood flowing from the broken neck, only a ball of air.

The flying head floated behind her, and her eyes stared blankly at the ugly "Flying Dragon's Hoof" mark on her back.

This symbol is the mark of the Draconian slaves, and Kerla has seen it countless times on other people.

But this was the first time she saw the mark on her back with her own eyes.

Many people with this mark died.

There are also many people with this mark who, like her, escaped the fire in the holy land of Marijoa more than half a year ago.

But Kerla knew that there would still be many people who would be branded with this mark in the future.

Will be tortured.

will die.

But...will there be another Fisher Tiger? In the past, people were either enslaved and suffering, or they were on the run and in a state of panic all day long.

But now, for several days, on this ship, Kerla felt the freedom and peace she had long forgotten... She had been a slave for too long, and her body and mind had been tortured too much. Even after escaping from Marijoa, Kerla was still trying to please others as a slave... This mark was a nightmare for her. After hesitating for a long time, she made up her mind to use the elemental method to see the thing on her back with her own eyes.

Kerla stared at the hoof of the flying dragon on his back, his little head was in a mess. He felt ashamed for a while, and then painful memories came into his mind. As he looked at it, he felt that this thing was not scary at all. Just like what brother Giorno said when he pointed at it, this was just evidence of the crimes of the Celestial Dragons...

Kerla's head floated forward, her cheek gently pressed against the burn scar on her back, and she murmured, "It's okay... It's okay..."

In the dimension she couldn't see, the helmsman "BIB" quietly looked at the little girl who was alone on the deck. Suddenly, it looked up in the distance ahead, and the shadow of a ship was visible in the distance.

………………

Den Den Mushi Castle——

After Lynch's repeated education over the past few days, one of the floors of Little Green's castle has been transformed into a mansion that Lynch could not afford in his previous life through the power of the Castle Fruit.

In addition to the well-equipped bedrooms and the large kitchen where they took turns cooking, Robin and Lin Qi's favorite place to stay was the hall that was a combination study and guest room. When they were free, they would sit on the sofa in the living room, one curled up with legs to read a book, the other lying on his side to look at a beauty; or one writing calligraphy and painting with a brush, ink, paper and inkstone, the other sleeping soundly beside, legs resting on the other's thighs, and several hands of flowers and fruits reaching out to gently knead; or they would make two cups of fresh flower milk tea, drink tea, chat, and occasionally practice boxing and kicking - Robin had been practicing the Ba Chong Quan that his mother Lily taught him for a long time with Lin Qi, and like Lin Qi, he didn't practice much mystery, but it was very beneficial to the exercise of body flexibility and coordination. In Lin Qi's opinion, Sister Robin was using Ba Chong Quan as yoga.

As for sailing, BIB is the one driving the boat! Lynch doesn't need to worry about it.

"When are you going to the Kingdom of Flowers?" Robin asked.

She had a ponytail and was wearing a vest and tights. She had just finished practicing the Eight Punch on the carpet, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead and neck. While she was practicing, Lynch had been sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and watching. Robin didn't care, but just sat back on the sofa and found that Lynch's nose moved slightly, which made her feel strange.

Lin Qi smiled and said, "Sister Robin, there is a phrase called 'breathing like orchids'. You really have that flavor now. Your breath even has the fragrance of flowers, like Mary Sue..."

Robin couldn't do anything about him, so he could only smile and shake his head. Lin Qi said, "The Kingdom of Flowers... Just go there when you have time! Now the first place I want to go is Momoiro Island, and the second is Shampoo Land. Since we're going to Shampoo Land, we can't not go to Fishman Island, right? If we go to Fishman Island, it would be unreasonable if we don't go to the New World at the same time, right?"

He was shaking his head as he spoke, and Robin could see that if Lily hadn't asked him to go back to the Kingdom of Flowers in her suicide note, Lynch probably wouldn't have had any interest in that hometown at all.

"Oh no, Sister Jolyne, Brother Giorno."

At this time, the door of the Den Den Mushi castle opened and a little girl jumped in. It was Kerla who screamed.

"What's wrong?"

"There's a pirate ship in the distance..."

Kerla paused and found that brother Giorno and sister Jolyne had no reaction. She also thought to herself that encountering a pirate ship was not a "big deal".

We are a pirate ship ourselves! Kerla always forgets this. First of all, the JOJO Pirates have too few members, just Giorno and Jolyne, and they don't have anything with pirate characteristics, not even a bounty order of their own! Secondly, this small boat is a bit shabby compared to ordinary pirate ships, and at first glance you might think it's a fishing boat.

The three of them left Den Den Mushi Castle.

Patting BIB on the shoulder and asking it to continue steering, Lynch and Robin went outside to take a look, and immediately discovered how far away the "faraway" that Kerla mentioned was...

"I'm worried about the danger..." Kerla felt embarrassed.

Robin touched her hair. After careful grooming, Kerla's hair was now smooth. She changed into a dress and looked like an ordinary little girl.

"Do you want to go?" Robin asked Lynch.

Lin Qi smacked his lips and said, "It's a bit far. You should go and take a look first."

"Yeah." Robin nodded and waved his hands.

At the same time, far ahead, the petals of the pirate ship's mid-air appeared out of thin air and condensed into the black seabird that Robin had "captured" a few days ago.

With Robin's current development of the Flower-Flower Fruit, she can freely use the flower clone within the scope of an island. However, her personal perception ability is not as good as the scope of the Flower-Flower Fruit. It is difficult to control whether the flower clone will grow directly on someone else in places beyond her sight, especially in unfamiliar terrain, and whether there are no people around. Therefore, in this case, Robin prefers to use her Flower Freedom, a clone like Seabird that is more free.

A Robin's eye opened on the forehead of the flower-bird clone, and one of Robin's ears grew in the feathers on the back of its neck. It circled in the air for a few times and glanced at the dirty sail of the pirate ship, which had a skull pattern with a knife and sword as crossbones... Soon, the flower-bird flapped its wings and landed on the side of the ship.

I saw a ship full of pirates gathered on the deck, and a man who looked like the captain was holding a telescope, looking in the direction of the JOJO Pirate Ship where Lynch and Robin were.

Robin's dark green eyes moved. She noticed that all the pirates on this ship had a graffiti-like symbol on the back of their clothes... and next to the captain, there was a pirate who was quickly flipping through a bound collection of bounty warrants.

"Hasn't found it yet?" said the captain, who was holding a telescope to observe the flag on the small boat, dissatisfied.

The pirate next to him stopped moving and looked at the page in his hand. Robin clearly saw that his hands began to tremble violently. He swallowed a few times and shouted in panic: "One, one, one..."

Before he finished speaking, the captain was startled. "What? What?" He snatched the collection of wanted notices, his eyes bulged, and he screamed in disbelief: "One hundred and sixty million Baileys?!"

With a bang, another page was turned, and the captain's eyes went dark. "Two hundred million?!" He was so scared that his face turned pale and he fell to the ground on the spot.

"One hundred and sixty million Baileys?!"

"Two hundred million Baileys?!"

"You must be kidding! We actually ran into such a scary pirate group!!"

The men were all so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

The black flower-bird walking on the side of the ship tilted its head slightly, looking at the pirates on the ship who were surprisingly frightened, and expressed confusion.

It flapped its wings and flew to the fallen captain's hand. It stepped on the page that was about to be blown by the sea breeze with its claws. It looked down and saw that the person drawn on the bounty order was Lin Qi! However, his bounty had been reduced from 150 million to 200 million Baileys... The black flower bird used its claws to scratch and turned the page. It saw itself dressed as Kujo Jolyne, and the number at the bottom had also been increased from 120 million to 160 million.

"Hurry! Turn quickly and run!" The captain gasped, sat up in shock and shouted loudly.

"Yes!! Captain!!!" His men ran faster than him and scattered to tamper with the sails and rudder.

The pirate ship changed direction, and the black flowers and birds quickly turned into a pile of petals and flew away with the wind.

………………

"The bounty has been increased? When did it happen?"

Lin Qi was very surprised and said with a smile, "Is it because of what happened on Magniphi Island in the South China Sea, or the incident with Kuzan? Those people in the navy are really nice. They raised the bounty right away!"

Kela was stunned and hesitated to speak. The bounty was increased. Isn't it a very dangerous thing? Many people will hunt him down...

"But they are too stingy. It's only increased a little, only 200 million! Who are they looking down on?" Lin Qi snorted.

Robin just smiled and admired Lynch's high-spirited (arrogant) look.

Since that ship of pirates was so timid and cautious, Lynch had no interest in causing trouble for them and had to chase them from a long distance.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After asking "BIB", Lynch used the Magnetic-Magnetic Fruit to sense the magnetic network throughout the Grand Line, and found that he still had a long way to go to reach Momoiro Island.

Pirates who enter the Grand Line usually use ordinary recording pointers to travel from island to island along the magnetic route.

But there are also merchant ships, tourist ships and the like on the Great Route. These ships often have specific destinations and often sail on the sea with specific permanent pointers. But this does not mean that they have been sailing on the sea all the way before reaching the destination indicated by the permanent pointer. If you encounter an island on the way, you will inevitably stop to rest and replenish supplies. Mature merchant ships will fix these islands that can be docked along the way as their own routes. When docking, goods and passengers will also be selectively transferred or transferred.

Lynch can sense magnetic whirlpools through the magnetic fruit, which is more convenient than a merchant ship. When he gets tired of drifting on the sea, he can go to the nearest island where a magnetic whirlpool is located to rest.

Just don't deviate from the course to Peach Color Island.

"There are many small whirlpools around a big whirlpool. It seems to be an archipelago."

Lynch smiled.

The sea and sky ahead were just as far as the eye could see. Over there, there was thunder and rain, over there, there was heavy snow, over there, there was strong wind, over there, there was scorching sun...

Fortunately, their small boat didn't care about the unpredictable and strange weather.

"BIB" is a stand-in and is not affected by external weather factors.

The lower body of the Den Den Mushi has turned into an iron track, and it can hang on the wall and doze off as steadily as a rock in the wind, rain and waves.

As for Lynch and the others, they were not affected at all in the castle inside its body. They lived a normal life and did what they were supposed to do.

Robin is well-read. Apart from archaeology and history, she knows a little about everything, including architecture, navigation, music, literature, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, painting, medicine, human anatomy... In addition, she and Lynch are not picky eaters. They take turns cooking and can eat anything. In addition, they have the ability to return life, so they can digest anything. Therefore, the two have never thought of recruiting other members to join the JOJO Pirates.

"After recruiting other people, what should we call them?" Lynch said, "Jotaro? Old man? We can't call them Jotaro or DIO, I've used both of them! Besides, since I've only used Jotaro and DIO, the crew of this ship should only be Giorno and Jolyne..."

While he was lying on the sofa and talking confidently, Robin just watched with a smile on his face while holding a cup of tea.

Kerla, her classmate, was reading a book and couldn't help but look up in confusion. How come she couldn't understand a word that big brother Giorno said?

………………

The JOJO Pirates' boat slowly approached the shore.

"BIB" put down the rudder, picked up the recording pointer and the sleepy green Den Den Mushi beside him, and casually stuffed the pointer into its mouth.

BIB took the awakened Green and got off the boat. He opened Green's mouth and gently knocked it against the pirate ship. When the ship approached Green's body, the range of the Castle Fruit's ability was immediately shrunk and absorbed into the body...

Soon, Lynch led Robin and Kerla out of the small green castle, "BIU", "BIU", "BIU". Lynch punched "BIB" and shouted, "You didn't even tell me you're here!"

I was sitting peacefully on the sofa in the castle, when suddenly a ship descended from the sky...

"BIB" raised his hand to catch the original's fist, and soon the two of them started fighting, punching back and forth, with a terrifying whistling sound.

Kerla was surprised to see Brother Giorno punching the air.

Robin was used to it. She knew the characteristics of Lynch's stand. After leaving the main body, as time went by, the activities, training, and fighting during the period of separation would be transformed into Lynch's training experience when he took it back, and would be fed back to his mind and body. Lynch and his stand would practice whenever they had time, and they also used this to train each other.

“It doesn’t look like there’s a city here.”

Robin was carrying a shoulder bag and looked up to see the lush forests on the island, which gave off a sense of desolation.

Lynch stopped and used his Observation Haki to casually scan the island. As expected, there were no large human settlements on the island. He threw a punch, BANG! The "BIB" fist collided with the main body.

“Why don’t we go to the main island and stop at one of the surrounding islands?” Lin Qi shook his head. “Forget it, it’s fine as long as we get there.”

"It's fine once we get there." "BIB" also said in unison.

Robin smiled and shook his head. As expected, the stand-in was also Lynch, and they had exactly the same ideas.

"Let's go, just treat it as an outing."

Lynch waved his hand and took Robin's hand.

"BIB" put Little Green into Robin's shoulder bag, and then he floated around.

Robin held Kerla's hand with his other hand, and the three of them strode into the lush forest.

…

A tall and swift figure flipped and leaped among the woods, climbing forward.

…

Walking in the forest, the three of them really seemed to be on a picnic. The primitive jungle was dangerous, but for Lynch and Robin, who were used to living on dangerous islands such as the Calm Belt Nine Snake Island and Ruth Kaina Island, this island was not even a zoo. The three of them talked and laughed, walked and stopped, and admired the natural scenery. Suddenly, Kerla grabbed Robin's hand and shook it gently.

"Sister Jolyne, Brother Giorno, there seems to be a sound..."

Robin listened carefully and indeed heard a faint voice coming from somewhere.

"Over there." Lynch has found the source of the sound.

Robin and Kerla followed him through a forest, and suddenly they saw an open mountain area in front of them.

Lynch was already standing in front of a huge boulder. The boulder was so big, more than ten meters high, that dozens of people could not hug it. Lynch looked short standing in front of the boulder.

“Save…save me…save…”

Kella looked around and quickly squatted in front of the big rock. He lowered his head and listened carefully in front of the gap under the stone. The sound actually came from under the stone.
