Chapter 548: Crossing the Sea by Bicycle
On the coast of Dressrosa, a passing fisherman saw from afar someone riding a bicycle straight into the sea and was really shocked.
And there was a person standing in the back seat...
"You two—"
The fisherman threw the alive fish from the net which had not yet been fully scooped out and hurriedly chased after it to stop the suicidal behavior, but when he ran to the beach he was stunned.
"A bicycle on the sea... Riding on the sea..."
The manned bicycle rode farther and farther. Wherever the wheels passed, the sea surface froze, leaving a thin trail of ice. The fisherman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, "My fish!!!"
He hurried back, grabbed the fishing net and dragged it to the shore, but he pulled the net apart with too much force and almost fell down.
Looking at the empty broken net in his hand, the fisherman hurriedly climbed to the shore and looked down, and was stunned again.
The fishing net, along with many fish and seawater, was frozen into a large block, and several fish were still waving their tails and trying to escape into the sea...
He was stunned for a moment, and said with tears in his eyes: "How can I get this up here?"
Boom!
At this moment, the sound of breaking waves on the sea ahead scared the fisherman so much that he shivered. He looked up and saw that the nearby sea surface seemed to be cut off by something... Red waves emerged from the churning sea water. Not long after, a huge sea fish nearly ten meters long had its belly ripped open by something and flipped to the surface of the sea, swaying as if it had been a free meal.
…
"I helped him because I'm a marine."
Aokiji was riding a bicycle on the sea and asked calmly, "Why are you doing this?"
"Oh, you're being so polite." Lin Qi stood on one leg on the back seat, shook the leg that had just kicked Lan, and said with a smile, "Didn't you also say that we will be colleagues soon?"
"If I remember correctly, I said - 'So be it.'"
"What's the difference?"
"Even if they are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, pirates are still pirates. - As a pirate, you should help the civilians..."
"Why?" Lin Qi stood upright on the back of the bicycle with his arms folded, looking at the distant horizon, feeling the sea breeze in his face, and asked in confusion, "Is it not possible?"
“…………” Aokiji stopped talking.
Since you don't want to be a pirate who commits crimes, burns, kills and plunders, and are willing to help civilians, why were you so reluctant to become a marine?
However, it is too late to bring up these things now, and Aokiji was just a little depressed and didn't dwell on it.
He suddenly let go of one hand, held the handlebar with one hand, and looked at the sea in front of him where the wind and clouds changed suddenly and the waves were surging.
"Time is running out, I need to speed up..."
As soon as Aokiji finished speaking, Lin Qi finally understood why this guy could ride an ordinary bicycle that didn't seem to have been modified at all and travel around the boundless ocean leisurely...
Because when he wants to hurry, he doesn't even pedal! The wheels of the bicycle don't even turn...
The two wheels were instantly frozen into a mass of ice by the frost. The frozen sea surface tightly connected to the wheels spread towards the sea surface in front at a very fast speed, dragging the entire bicycle and Aokiji and Lynch on the bicycle, and flew forward at a high speed...
Lynch was speechless. It turned out that when speed was needed, this bicycle was just a decoration!
In the blink of an eye, the bicycle had already carried the two of them across the sea for more than ten kilometers, far exceeding the speed of any warship. No wonder Aokiji had disliked it before, because if he took a warship, he would not be able to catch up with the pirates he had to deal with.
Wherever the bicycle passed, the turbulent sea surface was frozen, leaving a frozen track.
The sea water frozen by Aokiji may take several days to completely thaw... In the Long Chain Island Chapter in the comics, he even froze an entire bay upside down to make it easier for others to cross the sea to the island on the other side. He also claimed that the bay he frozen could last for about a week... In short, it was outrageous.
Freezing the entire bay for a week was effortless for Aokiji, let alone using this method to carry himself and Giorno on the journey.
This amount of physical energy consumption may not be as fast as his physical energy recovery.
Aokiji is a person with special abilities, but he dares to wander around the sea all year round. Naturally, he has the confidence to do so calmly.
…
The sea in the new world was indeed unpredictable, and a storm arose in the blink of an eye.
However, for Aokiji and Lynch, no matter how bad the weather was, it was no big deal. On the contrary, without the burden of the ship, they felt much more relaxed.
Bucket-sized lightning struck down, and Aokiji calmly controlled the frozen sea surface under the wheel to turn a corner. The lightning brushed past the two of them and penetrated into the sea beside them, turning a large area of the seabed dark yellow. Lin Qi could even smell a fishy scent in the water...
It didn't matter that the storm was howling. The huge waves rolled in and were frozen in the blink of an eye. Lin Qi, who was sitting in the back seat, made a sword with his palm and slashed forward. With a "storm kick" he directly cut the huge wave ice in two...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lynch was not blown off the back seat by the strong wind, but there was a layer of ice on the back seat that "glued" his feet firmly to the back seat.
As for the fact that it was clearly evening but the weather suddenly became as hot as noon, it was even more of a problem.
The chill emanating from Aokiji spreads over my body, making me feel as comfortable as if I were taking my first sip of happy water in midsummer...
When a sea beast jumped out of the sea and attacked the two, either Aokiji would casually use his Frost Sword to freeze the sea beast into an ice sculpture; or Lin Qi would jump over and punch the sea beast, beating its head off...
In short, the new world and the sea, which were extremely dangerous to most people, were as easy as walking on flat ground for these two people, and they didn't take it seriously at all.
If only...
A random thought flashed through Aokiji's mind.
Forget it, forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore…
Before they knew it, the two of them had crossed the vast ocean on a fully automatic bicycle.
…
As Aokiji and Lynch were flying across the sea, they would take out a Den Den Mushi from time to time and contact different people - the reason why Lynch knew they were different people was very simple, because the face of the Den Den Mushi would change when it came into contact with different people.
Lynch could tell that they were people from various naval bases in the New World. He guessed that they were branches in different locations, providing Aokiji with the whereabouts of the group of pirates he was going to deal with.
But until it got dark, Aokiji still didn't catch up with the other party.
"It seems that they are prepared and are deliberately beating around the bush..."
The sky got darker. There was a pitch-black night sky above their heads, and the sea beneath their feet also reflected the same starry and moonscape. Aokiji and Lin Qi, riding their bicycles across the sea, seemed to be traveling through a deep, cold universe...
Aokiji was mumbling something, but Lynch didn't really listen.
Because just now, he heard something - Robin's voice! It seemed like an illusion floating from the distant sky, but her whispering voice was so real.
Lin Qi could even feel the tingling sensation of her warm breath blowing on his ears when she spoke...
