Chapter 533 Moon Lion
[Chapter Heading Extra · Days on the East Road of the Nine Snakes · "Let's Try Makeup"]
[Nine Snake Island. Marigold, the youngest sister of the Boya family, took out a few boxes of cosmetics from the spoils and found them very novel, so she dragged her second sister Sanda Sonia and Princess Xu Lun to try them together. Sanda was very interested, but Princess Xu Lun smiled and shook her head and declined. Marie and Sanda clumsily applied the makeup on their faces for a while, and finally laughed at each other's weird makeup...]——
The sky grew brighter, and the group passed through the underground tomb passage with claw marks and sword marks, and jumped back to the ground at the edge of the large swamp pit that was emptied by the bubble fruit - oh, the elephant face.
Leaving the gloomy tomb and returning to the bright daylight, the Minks felt empty in their hearts.
Their hometown, whether it was the forest or Crow City, was once part of Wano Country a thousand years ago...
The elephant lord who carried the country on his back and walked on the sea was the one who made a big mistake and split the territory of Wano Country. He was the warrior of Wano Country who was once named Amatsuki Tomomi...
The elephant master was punished like this by the light moon a thousand years ago in order to atone for his sins...
Does Lord Oden know about this long-ago event? Cat Viper and Inuarashi wondered.
Lord Oden never mentioned it to them, perhaps he didn't know.
But the person who wrote this on the sea-tower stone wall of the tomb was clearly the ancestor of the Kozuki family, a man named Kozuki Musashi...
That was a warrior of the Kozuki family who lived in the same era as the Wolf Lord. In other words, it is very likely that the Mink Tribe and the Kozuki family have been brothers and have been friends for generations, starting from the time when Kozuki Musashi lived...
But if that’s the case, why did the Wolf Lord die inexplicably in the crypt under this swamp?
Could the claw marks and sword marks in the underground tomb be traces of the battle between Kozuki Musashi and the Wolf Lord? Since they were sworn brothers, and Kozuki Musashi was the one who carved this past on the stone wall of the sea tower for the fur tribe...why did the Wolf Lord want to fight him?
Cat Viper and Inuarashi walked in silence, seeming to have solved many mysteries, but other doubts still existed.
Why was the Kozuki family crest left on the coffin cover of the Xiangzhu, also known as Amatsuki Tomomi, his wife, even though she opposed his atrocities back then? How did Kozuki Musashi die?
Die together with the Wolf Lord? Is it really that serious? ………………
Leaving behind a few members of the Musketeers to deal with the situation in the catacombs after the swamp was cleared, Cat Viper and Inuarashi took Robin and Giorno back to Claude City.
"..." Robin glanced at Cat Viper and Inuarashi, then said to Lynch: "My business is almost done, how about you?"
Lin Qi asked loudly: "Boss Cat Viper, Duke Inuarashi, how many days until the full moon?"
Cat Viper and Inuarashi withdrew their thoughts and looked at each other.
Cat Viper bit his pipe and said, "Tomorrow night, it will be a full moon."
"Yes." Lynch looked at Robin.
Inuarashi smiled and said, "I will be there too, and I will let Giorno see the true power of the Minks."
Cat Viper said unhappily: "Do you need me? Why are you joining in the fun?"
Inuarashi didn't bother to pay any attention to this monster cat.
However, even with such an unfriendly attitude, the fact that the two of them did not fight immediately had already surprised the fur-loving residents on the streets of Crow City.
Lynch said: "But, Robin, your story is not over yet."
"Hmm?" Robin tilted his head and blinked.
Lynch reminded: "Has someone forgotten how we got here?"
Robin thought about it...
Lin Qi said seriously: "The reason we came here is that we don't know how we got here at all..."
He smiled and pointed at the two men in front of him, "Since these two have been pirates before, they must have a lot of experience in sailing in the New World. Boss Cat Viper, can you teach my captain how to use the record pointer in the New World?"
"Oh, sure!" Cat Viper turned around and said with a smile, "But I can't seem to teach her all these things in a short time..."
Lin Qi said: "It doesn't matter, just say it all in one breath. As for how much she can remember and understand, it depends on her as a student."
Inuarashi was surprised to hear this: "You are very strict with your captain."
Cat Viper thought for a moment and said, "When the O'Hara incident happened, Nico Robin was only eight years old, right? At the age of eight, she had already inherited the knowledge of O'Hara's scholars. She was already very powerful!"
Robin chuckled at this and gave Lynch a sidelong glance.
No matter how smart she was, there was a limit, especially in the field of navigation, which she was not good at.
Lin Qi clearly intended to let BIB sit in on the lecture and memorize all of Cat Viper's sailing experience so that she could review it at any time and learn and master it slowly...
………………
Sure enough, when Robin was sitting in the tree house of Cat Viper's residence in the Whale Forest, listening to Cat Viper talking about his experience of sailing in various conditions on the New World's oceans, "BIB" also came over, and was about to move a small stool to sit next to him to listen to the class.
Darcy and Garrott, the two kids, wanted to play too, so they followed over. However, they began to droop before Cat Viper could say a few words, and soon they fell asleep on Robin's legs, one on each side.
"Don't you need paper to write down some key points?" Cat Viper asked curiously.
Robin supported his chin and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I will never forget it."
"So awesome? That's good!"
Cat Viper continued to chat. Although he usually stayed out at night and stayed at home during the day, this time was a special case, so he spent the entire day and night teaching Nico Robin sailing experience.
For a non-human master like him, if necessary, not eating, drinking, or sleeping for days and nights is not a problem. Moreover, when he was giving Robin a lecture, he did not stop eating and drinking. When it was time for dinner, he asked the brothers of the Whale Forest Knights to serve the most sumptuous forest feast to entertain Nico Robin - and Giorno who heard the news. This kid really can eat! !
Robin was not completely without any basic knowledge of sailing, so after such a high-intensity lecture until noon the next day, Cat Viper basically had nothing more to say, and the rest could only be left for Nicole Robin to experience in practice.
The cat-viper then lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
Robin also raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned softly. She often stayed up all night to study when she was a child, but it rarely happened after she got together with Lynch.
"Let's go into the castle and get some sleep."
The stand-in stood up and looked at the strong sunlight outside the tree house at noon. Even in the daytime, one could vaguely see the shadow of the moon in the corner of the sky. "Tonight is the night of the full moon... You don't want to miss the true appearance of the fur tribe, right?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Robin nodded, and before taking out Little Green and going in, he asked curiously, "Boss Cat Viper was giving a lecture at night, and Duke Inuarashi was also sleeping. Where did he go alone?"
"... Let me tell you this." The man in black armor turned around, his narrow eyes flashing with a cold light, "I didn't listen carefully to a single word of what Cat Viper said in the past twenty or thirty hours."
"..." Robin was speechless.
If you want to skip class, just skip class. Why do you have to use such a serious look and tone?
She even thought it was some extraordinary reason!
Robin laughed and shook his head, then jumped into the Den Den Mushi castle to rest. Xiao Lu lazily opened one eyelid, and when he found nothing was wrong, he closed his eyes again to rest...
………………
In the evening, the elephant owner drew water with his trunk and watered the country on his back again.
Soon, dusk deepened and night fell...
On top of the highest corner watchtower, a figure sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, a heavy iron rod wrapped in gold placed across his knees, standing still in the slightly cold night wind.
………………
A huge full moon hung in the black night sky, and the cold moonlight illuminated the entire country on the elephant's back.
Suddenly, long roars like those of ferocious beasts were heard in the Whale Forest and the palace in Claw City.
"Joe~Bana~~~~~~!!"
"Qiao~~Runo~~~~~!!!"
The whistling sound was like the raging wind and thunder, sweeping in all directions, roaring the same name in response.
In the night...
In the Whale Forest, the members of the Knights' Group looked at the Cat Viper Boss who walked out of the tree house. His already majestic body became even taller, and his hair was thick and flamboyant, as if he was bathed in burning flames...
In Crow City, the musketeers and the fur-bearing residents on the streets saw the long-lost Duke Inuarashi who had entered the Moon Lion state. With a body over six meters tall, he looked like a giant demon wolf. His usual amiable and calm temperament had turned into an arrogant and overbearing aura. He just walked casually on the road, and electric sparks were flashing all over his body...
The Cat Viper of the Whale Forest, the Dog Storm of Claw City, and two fur-tribe kings transformed into moon lions, all looked in the same direction with their eyes glowing with scarlet demonic light.
The top of the towering watchtower.
Lin Qi opened his eyes, smiled slightly and said, "Finally, we can have a good fight."
He stood up on the top of the tall sentry tower, lightly lifted his toes, and the golden iron rod fell into his hand. Then he leaned forward casually, and his body relaxed and stretched in free fall... Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound under his feet. Before landing, he turned sharply, holding the golden iron rod tightly and sprinting through the air, heading straight for the cat and dog whose fur was fluttering under the full moon...
………………
While the main body was moving, "BIB" also rushed to the battlefield.
Before leaving, it entered the Den Den Mushi castle and reminded Robin who was catching up on sleep in the bedroom.
"BIB" nodded to her sleepy face, and quickly turned into a black ghost and floated out of the castle, flying at high speed to the distant woods, where they fought fiercely under the full moon.
In the bedroom of the castle, Robin closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, then sat up with all his strength.
Still wearing only a pair of underwear, with two straight, white, smooth legs exposed, she put on a top that she could go out in, then sat at the bedroom table, put on some light makeup in front of the mirror, and used a rubber band to tie her long hair into a ponytail. Then she smiled at herself in the mirror, and with a thought, on a tree trunk in the distant left forest, clusters of petals suddenly emerged and condensed into a Nicole Robin with light makeup, neat clothes, and a ponytail.
