Chapter 46 Life Returned
"What happened to you?"
"If I hadn't stopped you, would you have just pierced your chest?"
“Too violent!”
"What? You didn't intend to do that. You just wanted to give her a lesson by punching her? How dare you talk back!"
"Oh, you didn't talk back. Then you should reflect on yourself..."
The woman with long green hair led the way into the cabin. She heard the boy mumbling something behind her and couldn't help but feel curious - she couldn't hear a word, or didn't understand?
She looked back and saw that the boy was not talking to the red-haired man, but seemed to be talking to himself.
Shanks was speechless. This kid, Lynch, was actually talking to his ghost again... Is this what they call talking to yourself? Seeing the woman's puzzled eyes, Shanks smiled and said, "I forgot to ask, what's your name?"
"The women on the flower boat are all named after flowers," the green-haired woman smiled, "You can just call me Sayuri."
Lin Qi was chatting with "BIB" to kill time, and was suddenly stunned when he heard the woman's words.
[“Mom, your name is so weird!”]
[In the fragmented and fuzzy memory, the voice of "myself" questioning flashed. 】
[In front of me is the gentle woman named Lily. Her face is blurred in the backlight, and she reaches out with a smile on her face, "This is the custom in my mother's hometown, women are named after flowers..."]
“…”
Lynch frowned slightly, and followed Shanks and the green-haired woman, Sayuri Hanafune, without saying a word. Soon they arrived at the beautifully decorated hall.
At the bar, on the sofa, and in the dance floor, pairs of men and women were chatting and laughing in an ambiguous atmosphere.
There were so many gorgeous beauties that even Shanks was amazed. Sayuri was recommending the set menu, and while he was enjoying the new things, he did not forget to ask them to open a private room for Lynch to rest.
"That's right." Sayuri smiled and looked at Lin Qi teasingly, "You can't let such a young boy be led astray by you~!"
Shanks laughed, "Don't worry, this little brat won't be led astray by anyone!"
I added in my mind: I’m afraid no one will be able to take good care of me…
Lin Qi was originally really interested in taking a good look at this flower boat, but now he really lost interest and silently followed the waitress that Sayuri called over.
Shanks looked at Lynch's back and wondered, "Is this boy in a bad mood? He is indeed a completely different boy from Momonosuke..."
He thought of Mr. Oden's son. Although he was only a little boy, he was naturally curious and yearning for women. He was also unique.
"BIB" stopped and looked around.
Its eyes glowing white as it scanned the many men and women in the hall, and found that except for Red-Haired Shanks, no one's gaze stayed on it for even a moment.
"BIB" followed the main body smoothly.
………………
The noise faded away behind him. Lynch followed the waiter to the private room and pushed the door open.
"Have a good rest." The waitress was also a woman in her twenties. Probably because of her plain appearance and figure, she was responsible for the rough work on the boat.
She squatted down and touched the hair of the boy who seemed to be in a bad mood, "Why are you unhappy?"
"Sister, what's your name?" Lin Qi looked up and asked.
The waitress smiled and said, "Just call me Xin Zhulan~"
Lynch asked, "The women on the Happy Street boats all use flowers as their names, is that true?"
"Ah, did you hear it from Sayuri?" The waitress smiled, "Yes, I haven't been to other flower boats, but I heard that it's like this. I was troubled for a long time because I couldn't think of a name for the flower, so..." She stuck out her tongue, "'New Bamboo Orchid' is actually something I made up. I told them it's the name of a small flower from my hometown..."
"Why?" Lynch asked, "If you can't think of one, why not just use your own name?"
The waitress said, "But, everyone on the boat has similar names. It would be strange to stand out, right? And this is a flower boat. The women on the flower boat all have names like flowers. Isn't that romantic?"
Romance? Girl, are you serious? Lynch looked at her.
At this time, "BIB" walked straight past her and stood quietly beside her.
『BIB』 looked down and saw the waitress. She ruffled her hair. Perhaps she thought she was just a child. She sighed and said, "Everyone on the ship was just a poor person with a miserable life... It's not unacceptable to change a new name and forget the past..."
Looking at the waitress's back as she left, Lynch closed the door.
He waved his hand, and BIB understood and took off the head and placed it in the main body's hand.
Lynch put on the helmet and signaled "BIB" to replay the memory, the conversation about names between the original owner of the body, Lynch and his mother Lily when he was younger, to confirm that the fragmented memory that suddenly emerged in his mind was not wrong.
"According to what she said, naming after flowers is the custom in her hometown... Damn, this body of my mother, is the so-called 'hometown' the flower boat on Happy Street?"
Lin Qi lay down on the big pink bed, staring at the ceiling with exquisite wallpaper, imagining the flowing patterns as the face of the gentle woman named "Lily" in his memory...
"Although I have no prejudice against her past, but... it does not look like her."
Lin Qi thought silently, "Moreover, judging from her tone, the name 'named after flowers' is more like her 'real name', rather than the pseudonym that the flower boat woman used to forget her tragic past... Otherwise, she already has a stable life and a son, why would she continue to use the stage name on the flower boat? Wouldn't it be better to change to another name? It can be seen that her so-called 'hometown' may not be the flower boat..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"But this is too coincidental. Her hometown and the flower boat on Happy Street both have the custom of women being named after flowers?"
Lynch rubbed his head. Whenever he thought of the memories of the original owner's mother, he would feel irritated.
There was a question he had been avoiding, deliberately ignoring.
Should he really inherit the social identity of this body? Although he could no longer remember the hometown of the original owner of this body, should he try to find it, try to go back to find that "mother"? Before, Lin Qi always believed that this body was damn dead when he traveled through time, and his travel through time gave it a new life, so what did he care about the original life of this body? Although his parents could no longer be seen on the earth in another world, Lin Qi was unwilling to run to another woman to recognize his mother just because of this.
"Ah, you haven't slept yet?"
After an unknown amount of time, the door of the room was pushed open, and Shanks walked in drunkenly. He jumped to Lynch's side laughing, causing the bed to shake and Lynch bounced.
Lynch turned his head and looked at the red-haired man strangely, then looked at the door. This guy came back alone.
"Are you sick?" he asked sincerely.
"You little brat!" Shanks was speechless, exhaled a breath of alcohol, looked at the ceiling and said, "This place is not simple! The animal-type woman before..."
"Animal-type? Oh, the devil fruit that woman ate is the so-called animal-type devil fruit." Lin Qi said knowingly, bringing this setting over, and asked, "Are those strange moves of hers also given by the animal-type fruit she ate?"
"No, that's a very special move." Shanks said while lying down, "Even in the Grand Line where there are so many masters, there are only a few people who can master this special move..."
Lin Qi continued to ask knowingly: "Oh, is this the domineering you mentioned before?"
"No! That's a special technique different from Haki."
Shanks explained a little more.
"Oh, what kind of technique is that?" Lynch asked.
Shanks couldn't help but ponder when he heard this.
He felt so strange. In his opinion, after he mentioned "special moves that few people have mastered", this conversation should have ended with Lin Qi in shock and contemplation...
I didn't expect this guy to be so inquisitive.
However, Shanks, who is so straightforward, doesn't think there is anything to hide. "If you're asking about the name of that move, it's called 'Six Styles'. But if you're asking about the principle behind those moves that are similar to Haki..."
He paused for a moment and said with a smile, "It's called 'Return of Life'."
The Six Styles is a move derived from Life Return. This should be a very mainstream idea...
In addition, I have read a lot of analysis posts on the Internet, and sometimes I can’t remember which ones are my own ideas and which ones are not...
If there is any content in this book that seems familiar to you, don't doubt it, I copied it.
