Chapter 354: Ordinary Lin Qi
[Chapter Serialization·Love Sickness 5·『Hancock she, she, she...』] [Bonnie came running and panted and gestured, the members of the Nine Snakes Pirates were all panicked, Marigold turned pale with fear, and the two large piles of goods on her shoulders fell to the ground...]——
To be honest, a pirate like Giovanna Giorno with a bounty of 200 million Beli is quite scary to talk about.
But on the nearest holiday island, his arrival does not give people such a shocking feeling.
Because of a competition for the best swordsman in the world that had been promoted in newspapers for several months, this resort island, which was already famous on the Grand Route, felt like it had become the focus of world attention for more than half a year...
As the official start of the competition approaches, the island becomes more crowded with people from all over the world.
The sword masters were walking around the resort island, shopping, and traveling. Even passers-by could tell that many of these contestants were wanted pirates with bounties on their heads for many years! Everyone knew it, but no one said it.
The navy seemed to know about it, but no action was seen from them.
The pirates seemed to know this as well, so after arriving at the resort island, most of them either stayed within the area covered by the arena or went shopping, generally keeping a low profile.
This has led to the island's residents, tourists, and many reporters becoming somewhat numb to this type of character after becoming accustomed to the faces printed on the wanted posters.
——A bounty of 200 million Baileys?
——Oh, that’s amazing.
Originally, even if Giorno appeared on the resort island, he would probably only receive a "welcome" like this.
As for some rumors about this pirate with a strange experience, such as ghosts, devil fruits, etc....
Especially the rumor that he has the strange ability to steal other people's devil fruits.
to be honest--
It really has nothing to do with ordinary people! In the minds of many people, devil fruits are simply a legendary existence, and sometimes they even doubt whether this thing is a setting made up in storybooks. Even if the pirate named Giorno can steal other people's devil fruits, what does it have to do with us? Whether that pirate has such ability or not, he is a bad guy that ordinary people can't afford to offend! Recently, there are so many pirates who come to this island to participate in competitions and vacations, and no major vicious incidents have occurred...
But the scene just now directly refreshed people's understanding of the pirate Giorno to a higher level.
He actually came from the sea and confronted Hawkeye Mihawk and the daughter of the sea emperor head-on, and - it seemed that he was not at a disadvantage at all!
The reporter suppressed his inner excitement and frantically pressed the flashlight at the three groups of people - two of them consisted of only one person each, and only the ghost (harmonious) lady Charlotte Armand was followed by a group of pirates.
This island, where the World's No. 1 Swordsman Competition was held, is home to countless swordsmen, hunters, and pirates from all over the world... Over the past few months, the island seemed calm, but in fact, it was turbulent in secret.
Especially the pirates, how could they be willing to be quiet and not cause trouble? It's just that some of them are smart and won't provoke the navy too much, while others are reckless and are directly eliminated before they can cause any big trouble under the suppression of certain forces. As for whether it was the navy, the pirate in name only, or the big boss behind the competition, there are different opinions.
However, pirates are different from each other.
Charlotte Armand, the daughter of the Emperor of the Sea, known in the New World as "Mrs. Ghost (Harmony)", had just arrived at the resort island.
However, the obvious change is that other pirates dare not cause trouble on the island, especially outside the arena area, where they keep a low profile.
As for Charlotte Armand, she acted calmly and did what she wanted. It seemed that it was not her as a pirate who was concerned about the navy, but the navy that was afraid that she would do something excessive.
A lone ranger with the same style who arrived at the resort island later than Armand, a swordsman and a pirate known as Hawkeye Mihawk.
This great swordsman pirate who had once single-handedly defeated several blocks in Shampoo and even confronted the navy head-on was considered the biggest favorite to win the championship when he first set foot on this island. He would be the biggest opponent of Lady Oni (Harmony). I don't know how many contestants abandoned their swords and left after hearing the news that he had signed up for the competition, unwilling to face this man head-on.
Before leaving sadly, a swordsman once said: "Facing those eagle-like eyes, I am afraid that I will lose the courage to hold the sword again in the future."
Of course, the thoughts of more people before giving up were very direct: "I'm afraid of death. With a ghost lady (harmony) around, I'm likely to die. Now there's Mihawk with eagle eyes... The possibility of death is even greater. Only a fool would continue to participate. Anyway, there's no way I can win!"
Charlotte Armand.
Mihawk with eagle eyes.
The names of these two people alone are enough to scare many contestants.
During this period, wherever they went, they attracted the attention of too many people on the island.
As the competition day approaches, people all over the world who are watching this world's number one swordsman competition are looking forward to their performance after seeing their names.
Therefore, their small conflict on the beach today was so tense and exciting, and countless people came to watch.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Too many reporters crowded in the crowd were secretly hoping that these two would make a big deal out of it. It would be best if they had a big fight before the game. It would be best if they hit each other until they were bleeding but there was no winner. This way, their follow-up reports on the subsequent games would be full of suspense, and newspaper sales would probably take off!
But in this small conflict between the two people, suddenly someone came from the sea and inserted a stick.
He actually has the strength to intervene in the confrontation between these two people?
Giovanna Giorno! No matter what happens next, the news element of "Giorno x Hawkeye Mihawk x Charlotte's Armand" is enough to attract attention!
In fact, it was not just the ordinary people who were shocked. Even the members of the Big Mom Pirates who were used to the ups and downs of the "New World" were all stunned by Giorno's brilliant appearance.
"Are you kidding? Is this kid so powerful?"
"It can actually block Lord Armand's knife..."
"Not only Armand-sama, but also the sword of Hawkeye Mihawk!"
Robin quietly landed at the edge of the crowd, listening to the exclamations of the people around him who were attracted by Lynch's appearance, with a faint smile on his lips.
She stood at the edge, but others recognized that she had flown from mid-air over the sea with Giorno, and they quickly moved back some distance.
Lynch looked around, especially at the group of Big Mom Pirates behind Armand. He was very annoyed by their "passerby exclamation" just now, and wanted to go up and give them a couple of sticks to teach them a lesson...
He didn't move in the end, turned his head and asked Hawkeye curiously, "Do you know me?"
Armand said coldly, holding a cigarette in his mouth: "You have such a special ability, do you still think... you can avoid other people's attention?"
“Is that so?” Lynch touched his head and laughed, “It’s just that I can play with other people’s devil fruits. It’s not that great! Hahahaha…”
