Chapter 42 The Tide of the Times
In this way, Lynch and Shanks took control of the pirate ship.
Of course, there were also those with brain problems who suddenly jumped up and tried to sneak attack them... But in the end, they were either shocked by Shanks's domineering aura and fainted, foaming at the mouth, or were coldly watched by Lynch's "guardian spirit", intercepted and killed, which really made the pirates who sneak attacked "have brain problems"...
However, most pirates are still "well-behaved". Most of these pirates, half a year or a year ago, were just farmers who couldn't make a living in their hometowns, or hooligans and murderers wandering around the islands, or even just heard about the deeds of the Pirate King, or were fooled into going out to sea to become pirates... This group of rabble, there is no cohesion to speak of, even if the captain is replaced, it doesn't really matter.
They are mainly unclear about what their future will be if they continue like this.
Lynch had said before that he would take their heads to the naval base in exchange for the bounty...
Although not all of them are wanted and have a bounty, and even if they are, the bounty is not very high...but who knows?
In their opinion, that little devil was not an ordinary little devil at all. God knows what was going on in his mind.
There is actually a magic to "detonate the heart"... Are these two people human or ghost?! The pirates looked at the bodies gradually getting cold on the deck and became scared.
………………
Lynch walked into the captain's room with a swagger, threw his backpack aside, pulled over a chair and sat down, breathing a sigh of relief.
"I'll rest for a while, and you can come back when I wake up." He turned and said to "BIB" beside him.
The black armor nodded beside him. The green Den Den Mushi poked its head out from the gap in the backpack and rubbed BIB's hand with a satisfied look on its face.
Shanks was searching the room for something, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any books, not even a few decent nautical charts.
He casually said, "It's amazing. It's obviously your ghost ability, but you get along with it like a friend."
"There's nothing strange about a person who likes to talk to himself, right?" Lynch slumped in his chair and said lazily. He was a little sleepy.
"That's right!" Shanks smiled and sat aside, "But don't worry, I won't let you get into any danger with me here."
Lin Qi followed suit and said with a smile, "Okay then."
He waved to BIB.
Xiaolu looked at "BIB" reluctantly as he extracted the Pipe-Pipe Fruit chip from Lynch's body, then turned into a dark shadow and merged into Lynch's body.
"It seems to come from you...?"
Shanks vaguely saw a glowing white object that "BIB" took out of Lynch's body.
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly noticed that Lin Qi's face was slightly distorted, as if he was suffering from unspeakable pain.
After a while, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Lynch's forehead and he let out a long breath of hot breath.
Shanks keenly observed that Lynch's skin was slightly red, as if the temperature was very high...
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Shanks grabbed Lynch's arm with concern.
He was surprised to find that Lin Qi's muscles were tense, as if he had just run the length of two islands with all his strength under the setting sun, and was exhausted and sore...
"Didn't I tell you? My ghost and I are one!" Lin Qi slowed down, quickly adapting to the numbness and soreness of his entire body, and said lazily, "All its consumption outside, and even the accumulation of 'fatigue' of its own existence, will eventually be added to me when I take it back..."
Shanks was surprised and said: "Although your fruit is very strange and has developed many functions, this side effect is too great, isn't it?"
"Side effects? No, I think this is very suitable for training." Lin Qi really wanted to fall into a deep sleep right now, eat and drink a lot, and sleep soundly, which would be more conducive to the recovery of the body. "I have always done this. It is like another body of mine that ordinary people cannot see. I always exercise with it, so there is double the effect!"
Shanks was speechless and said, "This is too outrageous! At your young age, can your body bear it?"
"How can I survive in this ocean if I don't think of myself as a monster?" Lynch whispered softly, his head nodding off and he was about to doze off.
Shanks smiled and said generously: "You are quite aware! So, what do you plan to do in the future? Become a pirate?"
"I don't know either..." Lin Qi, despite his fatigue, cheered himself up, thought for a while and answered, "I'll probably be a pirate hunter for a while! By the way, I wonder if I can run into that guy again... As for whether to be a pirate or not, it's not a bad idea, but let's talk about it later... Anyway, no matter what my identity is, I don't think I will be a 'bad guy'!"
"So you don't think all pirates are evil?" Shanks asked with a smile, "Then what do you think is an evil person?"
Lin Qi was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Those who oppress or help oppress ordinary civilians are evil people. That's why I won't be a sailor. I won't live on any island or in the order of any kingdom... It's annoying just looking at it!"
He yawned, muttered vaguely, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that I didn't take the political class seriously back then..."
Lynch believes that he does not have the ability to lead a revolution, so he can only turn a blind eye and not be bothered! Fortunately, in the near future, there will be a man named Monkey D. Dragon who will form a team to resist oppression...
"What about you, Shanks? You said you came to the West Sea to find someone..." Lynch asked.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Yeah!" Shanks looked at the ceiling of the captain's room of the pirate ship, put his hands in his trouser pockets, stretched his legs, and fell into memories. "Ever since I knew my hometown was in the West Sea, I have always wanted to take a look. I heard from my former captain that my father, whom I have never seen since I was born, is buried somewhere on the island of my hometown..."
As he was talking, he heard the even and deep breathing beside him and couldn't help but smile.
Lynch's head was tilted to one side, with a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth. He was sleeping soundly and sweetly.
"I see myself as a monster... Indeed, all the men I met before were like monsters!"
Shanks looked at Lynch's sleeping face and thought silently, "Double the effort, and double the hard work? " "An interesting little guy like you, where will you go in the future?"
"The captain said that the wave of the new era will really rise in 20 years. By then, the whole world will be turned upside down, completing what the captain and his men failed to do...Lin Qi, will you be part of that wave?"
And where will I be, and where can I be, in this wave?
Shanks was in the dim captain's cabin, his thoughts racing.
Gradually, a ray of pale light from the sky shone through the window lattice and sprinkled on the slightly protruding stubble on Shanks' chin.
………………
In the morning, Lynch wolfed down a large amount of food under the horrified gaze of a ship full of pirates, and patted his belly with satisfaction.
Then, he released the jet-black armor——『BIB』.
As soon as "BIB" appeared, he took out the white inverted triangle on his chest and implanted the Pipe-Pipe Fruit chip into his body.
Lynch came to the empty deck of the pirate ship wearing black armor, and began to train on each side.
The pirates appeared one after another, and looked at each other in bewilderment at the sight. They had never seen such a hardworking guy before...
Shanks also yawned and stood in the corner, observing Lynch exercising on the deck, and the dark "ghost" invisible to the other pirates - doing the same exercise in almost the same rhythm as Lynch.
Lynch picked up a wooden block in the corner and turned it into a wooden "hollow tube" more than one meter long in his hand, which he used as a long stick.
Sorry, it's too late.
