Chapter 357 I am somewhat interested in the Sand-Sand Fruit
[Series at the beginning of the chapter · Lovesickness 8 · "Gazing at the Empress in the Distance Outside the Window"] [Sandasonia and Marigold rushed into the bedroom with Bonnie and saw Hancock standing alone by the bright window. She was only wearing a thin nightgown. Against the bright sunlight, her slender figure was vaguely visible like a shadow... Hancock turned around. Except for her slightly pale face and a layer of hot sweat on her black hair, her breath was no different from usual.]——
"Jinbei?"
Lynch turned around, still holding the snacks he bought on the roadside.
The person who suddenly called him and Robin on the side of the road was none other than the future Seaman Jinbei, whom he and Robin had met by chance when they had just left the Calm Belt.
"It's you! We meet again!"
Lynch laughed, walked over and opened his arms.
Jinbei seemed a little reserved, as if he was not used to Lynch's enthusiasm. He just smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Lynch who rushed over.
Robin and "BIB" followed behind and noticed that the passers-by around Jinbei kept a distance from each other, and gave Lynch, who was smiling and greeting Jinbei, strange looks as they passed by.
However, Robin didn't know whether this strange look was due to Jinbe's identity as a fishman or because of Giorno himself.
"Last time, we didn't have enough fun fighting, so you left in a hurry," Lin Qi said to Jinbei with a smile, "We meet again this time. It would be unreasonable not to have a good fight, right?"
Jinbei smiled and said, "Do we fight on land or in the sea?"
"Oh, you fishman are so great. How can you be afraid of me in the sea?" Lin Qi said nonchalantly, "It's up to you to choose! Let you be convinced, okay?"
Jinbei said with a smile: "Are you so sure you can win?"
"Oh, you're really not convinced," Lin Qi snorted, "How about a fight now? Whoever loses gets to pay!"
Robin reminded: "Let's go sign up first..."
"Oh, yes!" Lin Qi remembered that he still had to sign up for the competition.
Jinbei's expression changed slightly, "Do you want to participate in this world's best swordsman competition?"
"Yeah, why else would I be here?" Lynch said, and suddenly noticed something unusual about Jinbei, "Did you just have a fight?"
It’s not Lynch’s fault that his eyesight is poor. It’s just that the blue fat man’s skin color is too Avatar-like. Even if there are traces of battle, it is difficult to see at a glance.
Jinbei wiped the scratch on his neck or chest and said in a deep voice: "Yeah... I beat up some annoying humans."
"Human?"
Lynch and Robin both had an idea. With these words used, the cause of the conflict became obvious.
It was nothing more than humans discriminating against fishmen, which irritated Jinbei, who was still very grumpy, and led to a fight...
Robin said, "It seems that the big commotion from the arena earlier was caused by you?"
The confrontation between Lynch, Mihawk and Armand was interrupted by a loud noise coming from a distance.
"Yeah," Jinbei didn't deny it, "I just got rid of those marines..."
The three of them talked as they walked, not paying attention to the strange looks from some people on the street.
"You don't have a sword, why are you participating in the swordsmanship competition?" Lynch asked.
Jinbei asked back, "Don't you also not use a sword?"
Lin Qi said dissatisfiedly: "I have a blunt sword!"
He waved his hand, and under the attraction of the Magnetic Fruit, an iron rod flew out from the castle inside the little green body in Robin's shoulder bag and was grabbed by him while spinning.
Jinbei was shocked by his telekinetic ability at first, and when he looked closely, he was speechless. This is called a blunt sword? This is clearly a stick! During the conversation, Lin Qi learned that Jinbei was indeed mocked by some bastards when he wanted to sign up for the swordsman competition. They ridiculed him for being just a fish and wanting to participate in the human competition, and said something like "Although it is impossible, what if the world's number one swordsman becomes a fish, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"... This angered Jinbei, and he fought at the registration office, and a 30 million tile punch created an explosion effect on the spot.
Lynch could easily counter this move, but ordinary people could not handle it. After Jinbei made a big fuss at the registration office, he was soon chased by a team of marines.
Jinbe's skills are certainly not something that an ordinary team of marines can catch up with. After leaving the arena area, he quickly avoided those marines and blended into the crowd.
Not long after, I happened to meet Robin and Lynch who were walking out of the mall after buying clothes.
"How about it, do you dare to go back?" Lin Qi swung the iron rod in his hand, "I'm just about to sign up, can you help lead the way?"
Jinbei shook his head and said in a deep voice: "When I left there, the registration was almost closed... If you go now, it will probably be too late to register."
Lin Qi patted Jinbei's broad shoulders and said with a smile, "It's okay, we will definitely make it in time."
………………
With Jinbei leading the way, the three of them soon arrived at the registration location in the arena area.
From a distance, I could see some broken houses and cracked roads. Some workers were urgently repairing them.
"The navy doesn't seem to have any intention of capturing you. No one is lying in ambush here."
Lynch stood on the "ruins" destroyed by Jinbei, looked around, but did not find any trace of a Marine.
However, due to Jinbei's return, some people at the registration office showed some fear on their faces, and they all exclaimed, "Why is he back again?"
"Damn it! Tell the navy to drive this fishman away!"
Jinbei's eyes were filled with anger as he glanced coldly at the annoying humans around him. He was very surprised by Lynch's question and shook his head, "Of course... The Navy will not take this area, or even the entire island, too seriously against the various pirates on the island during the Swordsman Tournament."
Besides, aren't you a pirate yourself? And a pirate with a bounty of 200 million berries.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Since Giorno thought the navy would ambush me, and he asked me to bring him here, what on earth was he planning?!
"Oh? Why is that?" Lynch asked as he walked.
"You really don't know?"
Jinbe noticed that the humans around him, in addition to pointing at him, were also glancing sideways at Giorno who was walking in front.
Jinbe vaguely heard some words like "West Coast", "Hawkeye", "Mrs. Harmony", "Giorno", "Incredible", etc. He pieced together what these people were talking about, but...
When Giorno came here, he had a conflict with that Hawkeye guy and the daughter of the Sea Emperor? He was able to confront those two people head-on... How unfathomable is Giorno's strength? !
"What do you know and don't know?" Lynch was confused.
Robin reminded: "The suspect in this swordsmanship competition is a pirate from the Shichibukai..."
"Crocodile." Jinbei added.
He looked at Lin Qi's back and thought to himself, "With such strength, it's no wonder that even the Seven Warlords of the Sea don't take him seriously... Although he's arrogant, he has the confidence to be arrogant!"
"Oh, it's him." Lin Qi suddenly realized that he simply hadn't asked about him!
No wonder the navy turned a blind eye to this swordsmanship competition where there were obviously many pirates participating. It turned out that there were legal pirates, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, protecting them.
In other words, the guy who organized this competition was quite smart and knew to use the flag of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to show off.
That guy Lao Sha borrowed a name and probably made some money from it.
Lynch thought, could this be the source of funding for the Baroque Society?
As for how Robin knew this, it was obviously because she had secretly set up guards everywhere since she came to this island, or it could be said that it was the result of eavesdropping...
"Sand crocodile..."
Lin Qi thought about it and he was still somewhat interested in tricks like sand waterfall funeral and sand coffin binding.
"Sorry, the registration has closed."
The staff at the competition registration desk carefully reminded Lynch.
This is a powerful pirate who just came to the island and fought with the Hawkeye man and the devil lady... and he was accompanied by the hateful fishman who had caused a big fuss here before. The staff was really afraid that Giorno would also cause a big fuss... This fishman is easy to deal with, but if Giorno makes a fuss, it will be a different level of difficulty! Just look around and you will know that after Giorno came in, even the noise has decreased a bit.
“Is it due?”
Lynch smiled, raised his hand and turned the iron rod in front of the staff.
The iron rod rotated in circles, and the staff's eyes gradually became distracted...
"Register to compete, Giovanna Giorno," said Lynch's ethereal voice from behind the spinning iron rod, "and Jolyne Kujo."
"Huh?" Robin was caught off guard.
