Chapter 498 Don’t be afraid, I will protect you

[Inside the Den Den Mushi castle, Lynch’s screams were heard continuously…]

[In the kitchen, several Robins shook their heads at the same time. Some of them opened the refrigerator and took out ingredients one by one, some were busy in front of the pots, and some were processing ingredients on the chopping board...]

[Soon, the low-profile offensive dishes learned from the Shemale Island were brought out one by one by Robin, steaming with fragrance.]

[On the sofa in the living room, Lynch, who had taken out the Impact Fruit from his body and put his Stand back, was submerged in wisps of white steam. His red, hot, and trembling skin due to his high body temperature was faintly visible in the hot steam...]

【Robin's real body was sitting next to him, holding his big hand tightly. Lynch held it tightly, and it even hurt Robin a little, but she didn't care, just stared at Lynch in the hot steam.】

[One by one, the flower clones brought the hot meals and put them down. When they were done, they scattered into clusters of petals and disappeared.]

【a long time……】

【Lin Qi's screams of pain gradually stopped. He let out a long breath, blowing away the white smoke around him.】

[“You’ve worked hard. Do you want a hug?” Robin jokingly opened his arms. ]

[The two of them embraced each other for warmth...]

【"It's so hot." Robin gently stroked Lynch's solid and broad back. 】

[There was not even a trace of sweat on the scalding skin, which showed how hot Lin Qi's body was. And what kind of pain would that bring... The muscles under the skin were still trembling slightly. ]

[No matter how many times he had seen the same scene, Robin could not imagine what kind of torment Lynch had just endured.]

[Robin can only hold him tightly like this. ]

[Lin Qi’s face was pressed against his neck, and he suddenly took a deep breath…Robin’s hair stood on end, a hint of shame flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she slapped him on the back in annoyance.]

[“Ah! It hurts.” Lynch pretended to shout and let go of Robin.]

[Robin's hand, which he had held just now, had turned red. Lynch did not say much, but just rubbed the delicate hand.]

[“Eat.” Robin’s hand was held by him, so he had to use the Flower-Flower Fruit to create many arms, put the food on the table, and brought buckets of drinks for Lynch to replenish his water.]

[Lin Qi had no reason to be polite. He continued to replenish his energy and ate and drank to his heart's content.]

[At the same time, a black shadow flew out of his body and transformed into a battle armor with narrow and slightly shining eyes, standing quietly beside him.]

[With the experience of both the main body and the stand, Lynch took back the "BIB" this time, having completely digested the battle with Rayleigh during this period, as well as the new use of the armed color he learned - the Ryuo with greater explosive power and destructive power.]

【"Eight Punches?"】

[Lin Qi and 『BIB』 exchanged glances. ]

[After taking back the substitute, Lynch naturally also got the memory of the conversations between it and Rayleigh alone.]

[It's just a set of boxing techniques, how can it be related to Conqueror's Haki? Lynch and his Stand think in exactly the same way, and even his doubts are the same as those of "BIB" at the time.]

[Robin smiled and said, "Looks like there's one more reason to go to the Kingdom of Flowers."]

[“Yeah. I have to go there anyway!”]

[Lynch ate very quickly, but with Robin, the best "waiter" who could control several clones at the same time, the food was served in an orderly manner. Basically, when he finished a plate, a new plate was handed to him, and when he felt thirsty, a bottle of opened drink was handed to him at the right time... After so many years of getting along, the tacit understanding between him and Robin was self-evident. ]

【Because of this, Robin took a look at the black armor that had not moved since it came out of Lynch's body.】

[It did not give any devil fruit to Lynch again. Therefore, it certainly did not copy any devil fruit abilities...]

[“Just in case.” Lin Qi noticed her look while eating and smiled.]

[Robin seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly said: "The last time a similar situation happened, you asked Jinbei to take you to their ship. At that time, you also wanted to kill someone..."]

[Lin Qi continued to eat and drink, and just shrugged his shoulders as a response.]

[Robin sighed softly, "This time it's the Sea Emperor's pirate group..."]

【Lin Qi laughed and said: "It might be very dangerous."】

【“Yeah.” Robin nodded. 】

【Lin Qi asked: “Are you scared?”】

[“What about you?” Robin asked. Before Lynch could answer, she smiled and said, “Don’t be afraid. I will protect you.”]

【Lynch laughs.】

…

[“Since you have nowhere to go, why don’t you come back with me and join our pirate group.”]

[In Xia Qi's bar, Marco is talking to the fishman Labster, the human He-Man, and the long-legged Reg. These three guys who were once slaves, after being rescued by Kujo Jolyne, actually beat up the Celestial Dragons in the chaos, which surprised Marco. Although beating up the Celestial Dragons is very satisfying, but if this happens, the entire ocean will have a hard time for these three people to stay... Marco knows how omnipresent the CP0 spy agency dedicated to the Celestial Dragons is. ]

[Who could refuse the invitation from the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates to join the group? Especially since they have such a bleak future, Labster, He-Man, and Reg excitedly agreed.]

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

[“But I can take care of Giorno and the other two by myself. If I take you guys with me, the flying speed will be too slow.” Marco considered, “Why don’t you get a coated ship and go from Fishman Island to the New World…”]

[Fishman Island is the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates. Marco was about to give the three people a piece of life paper as a token and a tool to go to the White Whale, when he suddenly heard Giorno's voice. ]

[“Who said you should take us? We can fly by ourselves!”]

[Lynch and Robin "BIU" and "BIU" came out of the Den Den Mushi castle, and the black armor followed silently behind them.]

[“Since the three of you are going too, let’s go together.” Lin Qi waved his hand, picked up the green Den Den Mushi, and threw it to his stand-in.]

[When the black shadow holding the Den Den Mushi flew into the air outside the house, Marco was very surprised and confused, "Is this your third crew member, or is it some special ability of yours?"]

[Lin Qi waved his hand, "Whatever you think!"]

[Marco was not the kind of person who would go into details, so he just ignored the topic and turned his arms into long blue flame wings, which he flapped and flew into the air.]

[“Railey, Aunt Xia, we’ll see each other again someday!”]

[At the entrance of the bar, Rayleigh and Shakira looked into the air and heard Giorno shouting, "Don't forget, you still owe me a coated ship..."]

[His voice gradually faded away with the flying blue-flame phoenix and black armor, and Rayleigh shook his head with a smile.]

[Xia Qi smokes and looks at the blue-flame phoenix flying away in the sky, "The navy is probably closely observing the sky over the Sabaody Archipelago..."]

…

"The Navy should actually thank you..."

In the Chabaoti Archipelago, in the No. 13 Rip-off Bar, Xia Qi said jokingly, "You attract their attention, so that they don't have time to guess blindly... If they guess the truth by accident, they won't be able to sleep in the middle of the night!"

Rayleigh raised his head and blew into the bottle, smiling, "That's right. If they knew... Whitebeard would soon return to his peak, how much of a headache would Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr have?"

"Even if Whitebeard is not at his peak, he is already the king who rules the world." Xia Qi said leisurely, "The Navy should be worried about Giorno and Jolyne, who helped Whitebeard return to his peak... These two pirates who have been so kind to the Whitebeard Pirates, and you have a good chat with them! How will the Navy view them for making friends with two 'legends' at the same time?"

…

"Bang!"

At the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku punched the pile of documents on the table and scratched his black ball-like hair in annoyance.

Garp came in at this time and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you, Sengoku? Did you lose your hair?"
