Chapter 48 This is a bit too crazy.
"Brother Red Hair, let me be frank with you. This so-called 'ghost' of mine..."
After a hearty meal, Lynch finally felt less hungry and wiped his mouth.
Dark stand energy immediately surged out of his body, and a figure like a steel armor with white light glowing in the inverted triangle area between his eyes and chest slowly walked out and stood beside Lynch.
"…It's not a devil fruit ability." Lynch thought about it and said to Shanks very straightforwardly.
"Ah~~" Shanks nodded and drew out the sound, leaning back, holding down the straw hat with one hand and hanging the other arm on the back of the chair.
Lin Qi smiled and said, "You don't seem too surprised?"
"Don't look at me like this," Shanks smiled nonchalantly, "I am still a little bit good at judging people... I felt before that you seemed to be hiding something. But I am not very interested in other people's secrets - but, so that's how it is, so that's how it is..." He nodded slightly as if he suddenly understood, "Then, this makes sense... If 'ghost' is not the ability of the fruit, then 'channel' is it, right?"
Shanks used his Observation Haki and stared at the dark shadow beside Lynch, especially the glowing inverted triangle on the latter's chest.
After appearing, "BIB" did not avoid Shanks' gaze, and directly took out the chip of the Pipe-Pipe Fruit and implanted it into Lynch's body.
"I see you've never tried to avoid me... So, your 'ghost' can actually grant you devil fruit powers?"
Shanks remembered that when everyone was floating on the ice before, Lynch had been touched by his ghost holding a glowing triangle.
"It's a bit crazy to say that I'm endowed."
Lynch waved his hand and pointed at "BIB" beside him.
"In addition to being able to act as a clone, allowing me to double my training growth, it can also extract, store, and implant the power of devil fruits... I got this Guanguan Fruit when I was on that island before. I saw a gangster who was arresting people all over the city having it... I thought it was quite interesting, so I took it and played with it."
As he said this, he gestured to BIB.
The latter understood what he meant, stretched out his left hand covered with blue flame patterns, reached directly into Lynch's chest, and pulled out the chip of the Guan-Guan Fruit from it.
Holding the triangular white chip covered with tubular patterns, he switched to his right hand with red flame patterns, and the pitch-black armor crossed the dining table like a ghost and came in front of Shanks.
The latter leaned back in his chair with his long legs resting on the edge of the table, staring at the pitch-black shadow right in front of him with his Observation Haki. When the other party reached out his right hand with the white triangle in his hand, he did not make any move to refuse. He just watched as the red flame-patterned right hand of "BIB" went straight into his heart - he did not even use a trace of Armament Haki.
Seeing this, Lin Qi couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart.
As expected of the future king of the sea, this kind of bold and unrestrained mind is something few can match! Trusted by such a charismatic guy, Lin Qi felt that if he had even a little inclination to get along with the red-haired guy, he would have already bowed down and recognized him as the captain.
"Oh, I see..."
After BIB implanted the Pipe-Pipe Fruit into his body, Shanks looked at his own hands and suddenly realized something.
He tapped the table lightly with his heels, and immediately imitated Lynch's previous method, using his ability to open a circular pipe hole on the table.
"It's an ability even more incredible than a devil fruit!" Shanks praised, "But, take it away anyway, I really like swimming~!"
Lynch waved his hand, signaling "BIB" to take the Pipe-Pipe Fruit chip out of the red-haired man's body.
He said, "Based on the information I know, this should be considered a kind of... well, a special gift that is born from the mutation of life energy after special stimulation! I think the talent you said I have, the so-called 'life return' that I only realized belatedly... is because of it."
Shanks nodded as if he understood her, and asked curiously, "But why are you telling me all of a sudden?"
"Because if you don't explain the setting clearly, I can't continue to ask you for advice." Lin Qi pressed his feet and sat cross-legged on the chair. "I thought it was troublesome to explain before, so I thought it was better to have less trouble than more."
He smiled and said sincerely: "Besides...I think I also have a little insignificant and discerning eye for people."
"Hahahaha!" Shanks threw his head back and laughed, "You're really funny! What do you want to ask?"
Lin Qi said, "I am surprised... You said that I can eat a lot of food in a short period of time and digest it quickly to make up for the huge load on my body, so that my body can avoid collapse due to my ridiculous training method... You said this is a typical performance of people with the ability to restore life... But, I am not very strong, right?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He looked at his fist in confusion. "Apart from being able to eat and sleep, I don't seem to have any special strengths. At least I can't be as fast and strong as the antelope sister on the deck..."
Shanks put down his legs, sat up straight, tapped the table with his fingers, and smiled: "I think you are confused about something... I never said that the ability to return life must be equal to great strength."
A question mark finally slowly appeared in Lynch's head.
"Give me an example, or domineering-"
With a "tsk", Shanks' fingers tapped the tabletop and were enveloped by the pitch-black armed color domineering.
"You have to know that the energy of Haki actually exists in everyone's body. In this world, there are people who can use the power of Haki without any learning or hard training... and do such people necessarily have great strength, or in other words, military power?"
Lynch was a little confused by these counter-intuitive words, but soon, he remembered a character from the Sky Island chapter in the comics.
The little girl who was born with the ability to awaken the observation Haki that was enough to cover the entire Sky Island.
"Haki, after all, is just a kind of energy that everyone is born with. Only when it is combined with powerful martial arts can it be equal to a strong man." Shanks said slowly, "Similarly, life return is just a kind of understanding of the body and the self. It is even rumored that the first person who suddenly realized the life return was actually just an ordinary person who lived in the mountains for a long time and slept in the open air... Only with the help of hard training of physical skills, such as the Six Styles, can a powerful master be created... Of course, I heard that in some places it is the other way around, through years of practicing the Six Styles, the proficiency of life return is deepened."
