Chapter 4 I have no interest in flowers and fruits

"Why are you..."

Lin Qi looked at the eight-year-old girl with long black hair in front of him in surprise, then looked down at the stray puppy at his feet, and suddenly said, "You followed it here, right?"

Robin said nothing, but nodded slightly.

"Is it because I didn't tell that person about you that you think I can be trusted?"

Just as the little girl began to feel a little uneasy, Lynch smiled and said, "Actually - you just don't know where to go either! How pitiful."

Robin's thin body trembled and he clenched his fingers.

"The man yesterday...did not die."

This was the first time Lin Qi heard her speak. Her childish and clear voice was a little hoarse, probably because she hadn't spoken much for a long time.

"Those gangs...may still cause trouble for you..."

"You think you've caused me trouble, right?" Lin Qi said with a smile, "You're here to remind me?"

The little girl with long black hair bit her lower lip and said nothing.

"Then you can rest assured. I'm not a good person! The people who want to kill me can line up from here to Momonosuke's urn in Wano Country and then to Raftel. What are a few gangsters worth?"

Robin was a little confused. Raftel sounded familiar, but what was Wano Country? What was Momonosuke? However, although Lynch said so, it would be really difficult to be targeted by the local gangsters.

Lin Qi felt that he had to think of a way. As a newcomer, he had to develop steadily first. Only when he reached a higher level would he have the energy to fight with others...

At this moment, white light flashed from the narrow eyes of the "helmet" on Lynch's face, and "BIB" made an electronic sound: "Extract... Release..."

As if in sync, Lin Qi looked at his hands. The "armor" on his left arm was blue with flame-like patterns, while the "armor" on his right arm was red. The shape of the flame pattern was faintly vortex-like, and it seemed to be very similar to the characteristics of something...

Devil Fruit?

Seeing the boy, who was a year or two older than her, winking at the air again, Robin couldn't help but think of what he did to the gang member last night... Sauro said that there were many people in the sea who had eaten all kinds of strange devil fruits and had incredible abilities. This boy should have eaten some kind of fruit like she had eaten the Flower-Flower Fruit... Was it the Ghost Fruit? Just as she was thinking this, the boy in front of her suddenly stretched out his right hand towards her, just touching the front of Robin's shabby dress, poked it, frowned, and retracted it.

"......?" Robin was a little confused, but saw Lynch changed his left hand, and this time there was no obstruction and he inserted it directly into her chest.

"......!?" Robin lowered his head, staring blankly at the boy's hand, which was completely inserted into his body.

But...why doesn't it hurt...

Or is it too painful, causing paralysis?

At this moment, a series of images flashed back in Robin's mind.

When I was a child, my aunt was not very kind to me. I was always hungry and cold, and was ordered around... I finally passed the doctoral program in history, thinking that I could study history with Dr. Kroba and others, but my hometown was burned to ashes by the Navy's demon-killing order... I made my first friend, a giant, who taught me how to laugh, but he died to protect me... I finally met my mother, thinking that I could finally walk with her and live together this time, but she pushed me away again...

I am the last person in O'Hara. Is the hope that Dr. Kloba, my mother, and everyone else have fought so hard to save going to be extinguished here?

I'm sorry, Doctor, Mom, I've finally let you down...

Sauro, you said that as long as you go to the sea, you will always meet friends, but I'm sorry, I'm about to be stabbed in the chest, dug out my bloody heart and die...

When his body cools down, will it be eaten by wild dogs and crows on the roadside, or will it be picked up and sent to the naval base in exchange for a bounty? "Hey, what are you doing?"

The boy's voice jolted Robin awake and brought him back to reality.

She then realized that although her chest was thin, it was still intact and there was no pain. Even her gray dress was not damaged.

The boy's hand had been pulled out. Robin looked at the boy's left hand stupidly. There was not even a drop of blood. It was as if he had not stabbed her chest just now.

"Little boy, do you have a lot of questions?" Lynch teased, imitating Robin's dazed expression when he was walking around. "Ah, wasn't I killed by him? What on earth is going on here——"

Robin gritted his teeth secretly, feeling a little embarrassed and a little angry.

And in a level that she couldn't see, Lynch's left hand, which was wrapped in a layer of blue flame-patterned arm armor, was holding an inverted triangle "crystal piece" that was glowing with a faint blue light.

The surface of the triangular crystal piece is engraved with spiral patterns that resemble clusters of flowers.

"What did you do?" Robin asked quietly. She was observant and noticed that Lynch's eyes were fixed on his left hand - what was he holding in his hand? His ghost ability? "Try and see if you can still use the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit?" Lynch suggested.

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

Robin was shocked and immediately crossed his arms, following his original instinct, trying to use his ability to "bloom" and grow arms on the boy's face and chest, but it had no effect.

My body feels empty, as if something is missing.

I lost my devil fruit ability...

Lin Qi smiled slightly, and with his left hand, he transferred the inverted triangle-shaped "chip" of the Flower-Flower Fruit to his right hand, which was covered with red flame vortex patterns, and suddenly stuffed the chip into his chest! Robin couldn't help but screamed in surprise when she saw him suddenly "harm himself".

But the next second, she suddenly had an idea and opened her mouth in shock. Could it be——? !

After the Flower-Flower Fruit chip was implanted in his body, Lynch took a deep breath and felt a strange "intuition" all over his body. He smiled slightly, raised his hands slightly, and two arms "bloomed" and grew on both sides of Robin's slender neck - Lynch's arms!

The two hands on her neck pinched Robin's cheeks. She said incoherently: "You...you stole the porridge...wuu ...

"It seems so." Lin Qi laughed, "It's a very interesting ability, quite fun."

As he spoke, the two hands that were pinching Robin's cheeks quietly turned into petals and spread on the girl's thin shoulders.

"You—" Robin looked at the petals falling into his palm, panicking and disappointed, "How could you do this..."

This is the ability I rely on to protect myself! Without the Flower-Flower Fruit, how can an eight-year-old girl like me survive in this cruel ocean?

Little Robin's heart sank little by little, and he didn't know what to do.

"Hey, you two kids!" At this time, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of the alley.
