Chapter 445: Split Action
The JOJO Pirate Ship slowly approaches the shore of Kraikana Island, and Lynch, Robin and Rose land one after another.
They had not taken a few steps when they slowly stopped.
In front of them, there were hundreds of people standing. Most of them were wearing armor and looked like soldiers on the island, but there were also some who were obviously ordinary residents. However, they were all holding swords, knives, and even farm tools.
"Everyone..." Rose couldn't help but say.
The hundreds of people in front of them were staring at them in full alert, with countless eyes moving between her and Giorno and Jolyne beside her, with disgust, vigilance, and scrutiny...
Full of hostility! Rose's pupils shrank, and she remembered what happened on the boat before...
………………
[“Haina already knows that we will go to the Kingdom of Xikaial…”]
[When the JOJO Pirate Ship was still sailing on the sea towards the Kraikana Island, Robin said this to Rose in the Den Den Mushi Castle.]
[Rose was surprised, "How could it be? Wasn't Steele already...?"]
[Lin Qi sat on his chair with his feet up on the table, the iron rod resting on his long legs, staring at Rose's surprised mouth. He waited for a long time, but she didn't finish the second half of the sentence, so he finished it for her speechlessly:]
[“…Kill him! Hey, don’t just say half of this sentence, it will become weird.”]
[“I just want to say that there is such a possibility.” Robin grabbed the golden iron rod on Lynch’s leg and knocked it lightly on his head as a punishment, shaking his head and saying, “When Giorno went to deal with Steele, he was talking to Heina on the phone. In other words, he may have reported everything that happened in the Rich Country to Heina... At least, we have to make such an estimate and plan.”]
[Rose lowered her head and said, "But, when I appeared in front of Steele before, my appearance was transformed by Giorno using the Swallow-Swallow Fruit...Steel, he probably didn't recognize me at all...Ah!"]
[The princess remembered something and cried out softly.]
[“Recalling this?” Robin pointed out, “You were standing in front of Gance and trying to stop him. You looked sincere, but Gance acted as if he didn’t know you at all. Your brief exchange was all seen by Steele who was present at the time.”]
[“Even so…” Rose muttered to herself.]
[“If that’s all, it doesn’t mean anything.” Robin said calmly, “But if you add the final result, things will be very different.”]
[Lose asked: "What is the result?"]
[Robin looked into the young princess' eyes, "That means Gance is still alive."]
【“…” Rose pursed her lips. 】
Robin smiled rather sinisterly, "Do you remember what Giorno said in the ruins of the palace? - 'There are a few things I won't kill! I won't kill good people, I won't kill stupid people, I won't kill interesting people, and I won't kill people I don't hate'..."]
[Lin Qi said, “Hey!”, “I was just joking!”]
[“Gansita, is he a good man?” Robin asked, and lightly tapped Lynch’s head with the golden iron rod. ]
【“…” Rose shook her head. 】
[Not to mention anything else, this time in the Rich Country, Gans used his Gun Gun Fruit to kill many people, including navy, palace guards, and ordinary civilians... This is a fact that cannot be denied in any way.]
[Even Gance himself would not have the audacity to say that he is a good person. ]
[Robin asked again: "Is he a big fool?"]
[Lose still shook her head. Gans' values were just corrupted by the Corruption Fruit.]
[“Interesting guy?”]
[Lose gave a bitter smile.]
[“Then how could he survive Giorno’s clutches?”]
[Lynch raised his hand to protest: "What about the last one! Maybe I don't hate him?"]
【Robin looks at him.】
[Lin Qi shifted his legs on the table, held the back of his head and smiled: "Okay, I don't hate it anyway."]
[Robin looked back at Rose and sighed, "Hina is very powerful."]
【Lose looks up at Robin.】
[“Precisely because she is so powerful,” Robin said seriously, “she is most likely to understand that it is impossible for Gance to escape from a top-notch warrior like Giorno. Unless…”]
[“Unless, Gance is on the same side as us.” Rose hugged her head, “So, I, who jumped out and cried to stop Gance, a girl whose age is not much different from that of the princess on the run, seemed very suspicious.”]
[Robin said: "Anyone who can serve as a Shichibukai and deal with the World Government must be a smart pirate. Haiina may have guessed something. This ship is about to arrive at Kraikana Island. We need to make assumptions about the worst-case scenario."]
[“Even if she knew in advance, would it be disadvantageous?” Lin Qi said, clapping his hands to catch the iron rod that Sister Robin hit him with, and said indifferently, “Aren’t we going to defeat her anyway? Who cares if she knows it first or later!”]
[Robin tilted his head, "Aren't you going to see the baboons?"]
[“Yeah, yeah, look at the baboon…” Lynch nodded, then glared at Robin who was grinning. ]
[“No, it’s not enough to just defeat Haiina…” Rose came to her senses and sighed in embarrassment, “What happened in the Rich Country will only get worse in Sikaial, under the influence of Haiina herself… When I left two years ago, the people on the island were already fighting each other under the influence of the Corruption Fruit. At this point today, even if Haiina is defeated, I’m afraid that everyone whose minds have been twisted by her will not change their minds and return to their previous ways…”]
[“So, what are you going to do?” Robin asked calmly.]
[Lose felt tremendous pressure.]
[Lin Qi said: "We can talk about that kind of thing after we defeat Hai Yina! Otherwise, everything will be empty talk, right?"]
[Lose bit her lip, frowned and thought for a while, then raised her head and said to Xu Lun firmly, "I have an idea."]
【……】
[Not long after, when the weather at sea gradually stabilized, an island gradually came into view in the distance.]
[The gloomy sky and the distant view that seemed like a group of demons dancing wildly were very similar to the place where Hawkeye lived in the comics and where he taught Zoro swordsmanship for two years.]
【"BIB" thought so, and let go of the rudder. The strands of gold around him stopped swaying and fell obediently onto the table.】
[Rose, who came out of the Den Den Mushi castle, saw the scenery of the island ahead and her eyes immediately turned red. She murmured, "How did Sikaial become like this... Haina, what have you done to this land..."]
[Lin Qi held the golden iron rod and asked as the boat slowly approached the shore: "Do you really want to go ashore?"]
[Lose was naturally puzzled. Lin Qi pointed his stick at the gloomy coastline. Just now, he casually swept his observation Haki and clearly felt the presence of hundreds of people gathered on this shore.]
[“It seems that my captain’s guess was correct. These people… came prepared!”]
[Lose was stunned for a moment after hearing this.]
[Lin Qi turned around and said, "Let's leave the boat here. We won't take it into the castle this time."]
【"Lose?" Robin asked with his head down. 】
[Lose said firmly: "Let's do it according to our original plan."]
………………
There was a huge crowd of people in front of me.
If only one person gave Rose such a hostile look, it would at most make her feel uncomfortable.
But there were so many people in front of her, all of them were hostile to her... Rose instantly felt the overwhelming pressure, she opened her mouth, she clearly wanted to say something to these people from her own country, but she didn't hear what she said... A hand beside her pressed on Rose's shoulder. It was Xu Lun.
Rose was sweating and feeling extremely ashamed. Facing these people whom she claimed she wanted to save, she was actually afraid. She was so scared that she didn't make any sound.
"They're actually mixed up with pirates!"
Among the people blocking the shore, a man wearing armor who looked like a leader stepped out and said contemptuously, "Princess Rose, you are a traitor who has betrayed this country. You are not welcome here!"
"Traitor!" "Not welcome!"...
"Traitor!" "Not welcome!"...
Hundreds of people shouted.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Rose's delicate shoulders trembled slightly. She looked up and saw Xu Lun pressing her shoulders with a smile on her face.
Giorno on the other side looked even more relaxed, looking at the dark and hostile crowd in front of him, but it seemed that he didn't see these people at all. Instead, he looked in the distance from time to time, perhaps looking for the baboon he wanted to see.
Rose took a deep breath and shouted to the crowd: "It's not like that. I didn't betray this country! It's the sea..."
“Traitor!” “Traitor!”… Rose’s voice was drowned out by the noise, so she had to raise her voice and shouted, “It was Heina’s conspiracy! She was the one who created the rot from the very beginning!”
But it was obvious that such words would only arouse the anger of the people in front of him.
"How dare you slander Lady Haiina!"
"Lady Haiina is the benefactor of all of us!"
With a clang sound.
The leader drew his long sword, looked at Rose with extremely angry eyes, and shouted: "Get out!"
"Get out!" "Traitor!" "Get out!"...
It has to be said that this kind of anger and hostility that was almost burning among the crowd was magnificent, shocking and terrifying.
Just as Rose was about to continue shouting, Lynch weighed the iron rod and said with a smile: "I have to say, every time at this time, I will think of Hancock..."
"I think of her domineering look," Robin said.
At this moment, the hundreds of people in front of them were rushing towards them with surging anger and waving their weapons.
"It seems that you were wrong before," Lin Qi looked at the crowd in front of him, who were overwhelmed by anger and rushed over. He walked over with the golden iron rod and said with a grin, "The power of corruption can indeed make people stupid."
Robin raised a hand and said, "Perhaps."
Rose pleaded, "Don't kill them..."
…
In just a few minutes, hundreds of people from Xikaial were lying on the ground in all directions on the gloomy land of the coast...
On the ground, above the crowd, Robin put down her hand, and the petals quietly fell into the mud in an inconspicuous corner of the overlapping crowd.
Rose withdrew her hands and stood up.
Lynch was carrying the leader, whose head was covered in blood, his eyes were rolled back, and he was unconscious.
Lynch casually threw the thing to Rose.
Glancing at the crowd, he clapped his hands and said, "Although this is an unexpected opening...but, next, shall we just continue as planned?"
Robin smiled and said, "Let's make a big scene."
"Hmm!" Lynch weighed the golden iron rod, "Let's take a look at the baboons... Hmm?"
He suddenly looked in a certain direction on the island.
Seeing this, Robin also looked over there, only to see a trail of dust rising over there. A huge figure could be vaguely seen in the dust, and the vibration sound was coming from that side.
Rose, who was dealing with the aftermath in the crowd, was the last one to notice it. When she turned her head, the huge figure was already rushing over with a cloud of dust!
With the force of thunder and lightning, it crashed straight into Lynch! Boom!!! Rose screamed, and was pulled by Xu Lun, who was also shaken by the earthquake, and finally stood firm.
"What is it..."
She looked up in shock, and only then did she see the true appearance of the huge beast that was rushing towards her. It was actually a one-horned rhinoceros as big as a hill...
Lynch reached out and pressed on the rhino's huge horn.
One arm was as thick as two fists, with knotted muscles and full of explosive power.
His legs seemed to be nailed to the ground beneath his feet, and he actually managed to block the charge of the huge rhinoceros several meters tall in front of him with just one hand.
The rhino's huge lantern-like eyes stared at Lynch in front of him, but a crisp voice came out of his mouth: "As expected of a pirate with a bounty of 400 million Baileys...ah!"
Before she could finish her polite words, Lynch suddenly grabbed the huge horn on her forehead with both hands and lifted it up.
Whoosh! !
Lynch lifted a one-horned rhinoceros as huge as a hill, spun it twice in the air, and then swung it out.
"Ah..." The crisp sound that was inconsistent with the rhinoceros's huge body quickly moved away.
"What a weird guy."
Lynch shook his arms, which were as thick as two fists, and the astonishing muscle mass disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye under Rose's stunned gaze, and returned to a size almost the same as the other arm.
Robin looked at the rhino that flew away in the sky with a ding sound and said thoughtfully: "The animal-type devil fruit ability user must be Hai Na's subordinate."
"..." Rose pursed her lips. Heina had already noticed them.
“Nothing surprising.” Lin Qi smiled. “After all, she was already a famous master before the Great Pirate Era, with a bounty of 790 million Baileys. She was from the same era as Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe and other guys… If you say she doesn’t have Haki, I don’t believe it! I guess her Observation Haki has already discovered us when we approached.”
Robin nodded. As long as Heina had the Observation Haki, it would be difficult to ignore the approach of such a powerful aura as Lynch.
"Then let's split up as agreed."
Lynch waved his hand and strode to the other side.
