Chapter 422 I Eat Myself (Two in One)

Rose sneaked onto the ship of these two powerful pirates. She thought of all the possible consequences, but she never imagined that it would be the situation before her.

A round hole suddenly appeared on the cabin floor, and half of the girl's head popped out. Rose poked her eyes out and observed quietly.

There were waves rumbling outside, but the cabin was eerily quiet.

It was empty and there was no one in sight.

What about the male and female pirates? When she turned her head out of the hole in the floor, she suddenly saw a huge Den Den Mushi. She was so scared that she almost screamed and quickly covered her mouth.

"It's Den Den Mushi..."

She calmed down and realized it was a green Den Den Mushi that crawled so close to her face that she thought it was a monster.

"Bulu boulu..." The Den Den Mushi chirped a few times, and Rose quickly raised her finger and made a "hush" sound.

She passed through the round hole and left the bottom cabin, climbed up, picked up the green Den Den Mushi, and moved carefully in the cabin while touching it.

Rose did not go through the main door. Instead, she used the Pipe-Pipe Fruit to open a hole, first leaned over to observe the situation, and then passed through the wall.

This was not a very big pirate ship, and Rose quickly walked around it, inside and out.

It was really empty, no one was there.

"How strange," the girl's face turned pale, frightened by this strange thing, "where are those two pirates..."

She suddenly raised her head and looked up at the sky. The pirate named Giorno could fly... But when he flew into the sky, it seemed that the air would make a "crackling" sound when he stepped on it, but there was no human figure in the sky above her head, and no unusual sounds could be heard...

Just as she was looking up at the sky, a creaking sound was heard in the cabin. Rose was startled and turned around to see that it was the rudder that was turning.

"It's the rudder..." She breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly cold sweat broke out on her face as she lowered her head. Her pupils instantly lost their color. "Why is the rudder moving by itself..."

Mustering up her courage again, she entered the cabin, holding the green Den Den Mushi in her arms, and approached the lonely rudder step by step.

"Creaky..." The rudder turned again by itself.

Rose was so frightened that she trembled and stood there stiffly for a long time, her heart pounding. She closed her eyes and puffed at the air around the rudder twice - but touched nothing.

“…”

Confirming that it was not the invisible man at the helm did not make Rose's nervous mood much better.

She clearly saw that there was a record pointer on the ring table in front of the rudder! And the ship's route was obviously following the direction of the record pointer... In other words, this empty ship was not drifting aimlessly on the sea, but sailing with a purpose!

Could it be that the true identities of those two pirates are actually ghosts? !

When they return to their ship, they will return to their original form and become ghosts to control the ship?

Rose, who had not seen Lynch pull the ship out of Xiaolu's body before, sat down dejectedly against the wooden wall.

She held the green Den Den Mushi in her arms, pinched its cute face, and said with a wry smile: "Your two masters abandoned this ship and also abandoned you..."

"Bolo?" Xiaolu tilted her head in her palm in confusion, looked at the human woman, then looked at the black armored man who was steering the ship next to her.

Is there something wrong with the eyes of this human woman?

There are obviously people in the boat! Why do you say there are none? It seems a bit silly...

"I'm so hungry." After being frightened, Rose felt a little tired. She took out some dry food and ate it twice. She looked out at the boundless ocean outside, then lowered her head and ate it twice silently. Noticing that the green Den Den Mushi on her lap was staring at her, Rose broke off a piece of biscuit and handed it to its mouth, "Do you want to eat it?"

Xiaolu opened his mouth and swallowed the biscuit crumbs.

Rose said to herself, "I don't have much food with me. What should I do now? Where is this ship going?"

She took out a permanent pointer from her bosom and stared at the country name engraved on the wooden frame.

"Sicaial".

A pair of narrow eyes glowed white as they stared closely at the permanent pointer on the girl's hand.

Rose didn't react at all, but Xiaolu was startled by the visor approaching.

The visor wrapped in the dark energy of the Stand floated quietly in front of the girl, while the rest of "BIB" remained in place, still holding the rudder and controlling the direction...

………………

The tip of the pen moves across the paper, outlining the route.

Robin drew two thick cross lines on the hand-drawn map, one solid line representing the Red Earth Continent and one hollow line representing the Grand Line.

Two thick crosses divided the four seas of the east, south, west and north. Robin started from the West Sea, passed through Lasgape Island and entered the Upside Down Mountain, stopped at the Twin Cape, and then drew the line into the Grand Route.

Mechanical Island, Lulucia Kingdom, Peach Color Island, Boeing Islands, Flower Boats on the Sea... Nine Snake Island, Ice Cream Kingdom, Batirila Island... Brujoa Kingdom, Peach Color Island, Forshat Island, Resort Island...

The journey finally starts from Magnetic Drum Island and moves towards the depths of the Grand Line.

"Why are you drawing this..." Lynch's voice suddenly appeared above Robin's head, "Crunch, crunch..."

"I was wondering how far we are from the Sabaody Archipelago." Robin put down his pen, leaned back on the sofa, and took a sip of the hot black tea. The pen on the coffee table pressed down two notes, one new and one old. They were written by Red Hair and Crocus and asked Lynch to take them to Pluto Rayleigh in the Sabaody Archipelago. "We can't wait until Shanks' note becomes old and we still haven't arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, right?"

She spoke jokingly, and Lynch really laughed out loud.

But the sound of his laughter was stranger than usual, mixed with "crunching" and "crunching" noises.

Robin looked up and saw that he was eating again.

Ever since using the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, Lynch seems to have the urge to eat everything first to taste the texture... Robin took a closer look and found that what Lynch threw into his mouth and was chewing was actually an iron rod.

It's Lynch's own weapon...

Robin watched with embarrassment as Lynch chewed the iron rod, which was once able to clash with the great swordsman Hawkeye's black sword, into pieces like a chocolate bar, and finally put it all into his mouth and swallowed it with a gulp.

"But we don't have much food," Lin Qi's stomach rumbled strangely, but he said casually, "We must replenish supplies several times along the way... Let me show you a magic trick, look, swallow a long sword with your mouth."

As he spoke, he raised his head, put his hand into his mouth, and pulled out an iron rod from his throat.

Robin shook his head helplessly.

Compared to before Lynch chewed it up and swallowed it, the iron rod had obviously shrunk a little, and the metallic luster had almost completely disappeared, becoming plain and unadorned.

Lynch pulled it out and held it in his hand. The iron rod seemed heavier than before it was tempered and reconstructed with the Swallowing Fruit.

With a casual wave of his hand, a strong wind was blew onto the castle wall.

"Bolulu!"

White fluid surged from the castle walls, condensing into the shape of a Den Den Mushi, which called out to Lynch twice in dissatisfaction.

Seeing it, Robin took a sip of tea and said, "Are you really not going to care about her?"

"She didn't ask for help, why bother with her." Lynch put the iron bar aside, leaned back on the sofa, put his long legs on the coffee table, and put his long arms around Robin, "Am I so kind?"

Robin smiled and said, "I never asked you for help before."

"Let me show you another magic trick!"

Lynch changed the subject without leaving a trace.

Robin drank his tea with a smile on his face, without asking any questions or teasing him, and just watched his performance quietly.

Lynch snapped his fingers and said seriously, "This magic trick is called 'I Eat Myself'. Have you ever seen it?"

As he spoke, he opened his mouth wide, and the size of his jaw became particularly exaggerated. He swallowed the entire head from bottom to top, then the neck, and then the upper body...

Lynch, who was leaning on the sofa, was swallowed up by his mouth. In the end, only a constantly wriggling mouth was left on the sofa.

Robin was holding a cup of tea, looking stunned.

But soon, the mouth on the sofa opened, and a figure came out of it, and Lynch appeared again - but his appearance had changed drastically.

His limbs became more sturdy... Well, Robin quickly looked up and down and determined that his height had shrunk, from more than 2.4 meters to about 1.9 meters, only half a head taller than she is now.

The vertical length became shorter, and the horizontal length expanded. Lynch's skeleton seemed to be reshaped, and the density and distribution of muscles were also adjusted...

What has changed even more is Lynch's face.

Facial bones and muscles, even the thickness and shape of eyebrows, many features of appearance have become subtly different...

"How was Tuntun's plastic surgery?" Lin Qi asked while rubbing his face.

"It's really amazing..." Robin examined it for a long time, took a sip of red tea, and commented calmly, "But it's not as beautiful as before."

"Really?" Lin Qi looked in a mirror and said, "I feel fine..."

He opened his mouth, his teeth clacking, and smiled at Robin, "Do you want me to give you one too?"

"No." Robin refused flatly. Holding a cup of tea in one hand and leaning on the sofa with the other, he tilted his head and asked, "I don't think you just want to change your look, right?"

Lin Qi touched his chin and said, "I was wondering if I could change my appearance back without relying on the Swallow Swallow Fruit? Since Life Return can control hair, it makes sense that it can't control flesh, skin, and bones..."

………………

The JOJO Pirate Ship sails along the magnetic route on the Grand Route. After leaving the stable climate environment around the island, the sea begins to reveal its true appearance.

Suddenly, huge waves surged, lightning and thunder roared...

The small sailboat was rocking in the waves. A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the pale girl Rose in the cabin.

The green Den Den Mushi almost flew out of the cabin and fell into the sea. Rose was startled and rushed over to catch the Den Den Mushi.

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

Xiaolu was extremely calm, and "BIB" was also calm at the helm.

…

After the lightning and thunder, there was a sudden strong wind and heavy snow fell.

Rose hid in the cabin, and even though she put on the cotton clothes she brought from Winter Island, she was still shivering with cold.

Xiaolu, who was hugged tightly by her, thought about it and made fan-like devices appear on the surface of the castle, which turned out to be miniature heaters.

The heat from the heater was amplified rapidly after leaving the surface of the castle, enough to spread throughout the girl's body.

"It's so warm..." The girl hugged the Den Den Mushi tightly, and her satisfied voice came along with the hot wind.

At one of the entrances of the castle, Robin was holding a warm sleeping bag that he was about to throw away. When he saw the rows of heaters made by Little Green, he couldn't help but smile.

Lin Qi walked aside while chewing some fruit, "This kid is really good at operations."

He opened his mouth and swallowed the whole fruit.

Robin reminded: "Lynch, your nose is a little crooked..."

"Really? Wait a minute... now?"

"Yeah, I've recovered."

…

Thunder and lightning, heavy snow, storm...

The climate of the Grand Route is so chaotic that no one can predict it in advance. The local climate formed by the cross-pulling of countless magnetic forces on the sea is completely random.

"This is the last bit of food." Rose broke the last bit of bread in her hand and gave a little bit to Xiaolu.

Xiaolu swallowed the remaining piece in her hand whole.

"Ah!" Rose exclaimed, wanting to cry but unable to, "Why are you like this? I'm so hungry..."

The girl ate the bread that was originally given to Den Den Mushi miserably, sighed, and glanced at the recording pointer in front of the rudder. The ship... was still sailing in the direction of the pointer.

Something is controlling this ship... This guess flashed through Rose's mind, and she stared in a daze at the sea which was temporarily calm.

At the castle portal on the surface of Little Green's body, Lynch and Robin sat here, holding a cup of flower milk tea and black tea respectively. They took a sip in unison and observed the girl outside who had been supporting herself on the empty boat for two or three days.

"No matter how dumb you are, you should be able to guess what is controlling the direction of this ship." Lynch has returned to normal and licked the milk on his lips.

"Yeah..." Robin took a sip of tea and said to himself, "But she didn't shout into the air, nor did she try to call us..."

Lin Qi stroked his chin and thought, "She wouldn't just want to die, right?"

"..." Robin was stunned. Before he could think about it, he heard Rose's voice outside the castle: "Ah, is that... a pirate ship?"

Having lived with a Den Den Mushi for the past few days on this ship, Rose has also gotten used to talking to it. Holding the Den Den Mushi in her hands, she looked far out to the sea in the distance to the side, and sure enough, a three-masted sailing ship that was much larger than this small boat appeared in her field of vision... and on that huge sail, there was a skull pattern that represented the identity of a pirate.

The pirate ship was approaching here.

BIB, who was at the helm, looked at the girl by the side of the ship. It was obvious that she was a little nervous.

However, with the level of development of her Pipe-Pipe Fruit, it is still very easy for her to escape if she wants to. She can just open an air duct to sneak onto the opponent's ship, quietly sneak to the next island, and then use the Pipe-Pipe Fruit to escape. It is also very simple.

The pirate ship is getting closer, and I can already see the specific shape of the skull pattern on the canvas...

Not planning to hide? "BIB" quietly looked at Rose who stood by the side of the ship.

There was a loud bang, the sound of something heavy falling. Rose was startled and turned around to see an iron rod rolling on the deck.

She raised her head and looked around, "This..."

Where did this iron rod come from? Rose picked up the iron rod, it was so heavy! She could barely lift it with both hands, and finally she had an idea, and used the Pipe-Pipe Fruit to reshape the iron rod into a steel pipe. After taking it under her control, the iron rod seemed to become much lighter, at least she could swing it freely as a weapon... The girl looked back at the pirate ship that was getting closer and closer.

At the entrance of Den Den Mushi Castle, Lin Qiqi threw out the iron rod and said, "Are you really planning to confront those pirates head-on?"

"Captain..." On the opposite side, on the deck of the approaching large pirate ship, a pirate sailor held up a telescope and aimed it at the black flag flying on the top of the small ship.

The captain of the Ironshoe Pirates asked, "Did you see clearly what ship it is?"

"That flag..." The sailor holding the telescope was terrified, "Captain, that's... JOJO, the JOJO Pirates!"

"JOJO Pirates?!!"

All the pirates on the deck were so frightened by the name that they almost fell down. Captain Iron Boots looked even more solemn. He grabbed the telescope and confirmed the pirate flag on the small boat. He muttered to himself with cold sweat, "It's really the JOJO Pirates... those two monster pirates! We actually ran into them... what are you still standing there for? Turn the rudder! Retreat, retreat quickly!!"

"yes!!"

The captain turned around and yelled at the top of his lungs, and the crew members scrambled to change course.

The big ship actually slowly went away...

On the small sailboat, Rose, who was holding the iron pipe and waiting nervously, looked stunned. She obviously didn't expect things to develop like this.

"..." She raised her head and looked at the black flag on the ship. "Is it because of the pirate flag? They were actually scared away..."

Her hand suddenly felt lighter, and the iron rod was actually "eaten" by the green Den Den Mushi.

"Hey!" Rose was shocked, but suddenly opened her mouth wide, because she seemed to find that the Den Den Mushi did not "eat" the iron rod, but there was a small hole on its body, and there seemed to be someone standing at the hole. It was the other person who stood at the hole and stretched out his hand to pull the iron rod, which was obviously too proportional, into the hole... Rose held her breath, she seemed to understand where the two pirates ran to.

………………

Wow! The sea beast seemed to have been punched by someone and actually jumped out of the sea.

In the sea, he, Hua Zizai·Hua Qi, put down his fist and suddenly turned into a bunch of petals, dissipating with the sea current...

The sea monster that was beaten unconscious turned into a huge shadow and fell towards the small sailboat. Rose on the deck looked up blankly. Just when she thought she was going to be crushed to death, the sea monster disappeared in a flash.

"..." Rose looked at the green Den Den Mushi next to her.

The girl hugged her knees and sat on the deck with her head down. Not long after, a smell of meat wafted over.

She looked up and saw a plate of fragrant sea beast feast being thrown out of the green Den Den Mushi's body and handed to her.

As Rose was eating the sea beast meat mouthful by mouthful with tears in her eyes, the ship suddenly stopped and hit something.

"Huh, we finally reached the shore." She suddenly heard Giorno's voice.

When I looked up, I saw Giorno and Jolyne appeared at the bow. They quickly jumped off the boat and went to the shore.

Rose swallowed quickly, taking in the distant view of the island in front of her, with its winding hills in the distance, a strange place.

Suddenly, the scenery in front of me "sank"... No, it was I who rose.

Rose looked down and saw that the whole boat was lifted up by Giorno's hands, and he said, "Hey, can't you get off?"

Rose hurriedly jumped down with the plate in her hand and landed on the shore. She turned around and saw Giorno lifting the entire small sailboat and stuffing it all into the mouth of the green Den Den Mushi with a smile.

There is an Arabic proverb that says it well: Transition chapters are really difficult to write.
