Chapter 599 Let's go meet the king
[Chapter Heading Serialization·Heart Pirates 7·"The Platinum Lead Disease Attacks Again"]
[The navy left, including Giorno and Kujo Jolyne were also on the warship... Rosinante (Rosinante) looked at the warship going away on the sea, and wanted to ask Corazon why he didn't go with the navy since he was a marine. Turning back, he saw Rosinante (Rosinante) curled up on the ground with a face full of pain. Rosinante (Rosinante) was very familiar with this look. This was the Platinum Lead Disease attack, and the pain was so severe that he wanted to die immediately. We must quickly go to the neighboring Swallow Island and go to the town to find the tools for the operation... Rosinante (Rosinante) was sweating profusely, and he opened his eyes and said reluctantly.]——
After the war, it's time to eat.
It was just daybreak when the members of the Babao Navy happily went to collect food from the granary or go hunting in the mountains to entertain the Seven Warlords of the Sea and to celebrate the recovery of Mr. Qingjiao's cone head and his regaining of his power.
"Green Pepper" turned back into "Cone Green Pepper", and was so touched and happy that she wanted to hug Giorno and kiss him.
After sitting down to talk, the cone-shaped old man was speechless after listening to what Giorno relayed to him: Rayleigh.
"I see. That's because you think that Haki is essentially the same thing. Armament Haki is used directly, while Observation Haki is used to sense the outside world. So you guessed that Conqueror Haki is a combination of the two. It senses the external aura while accurately releasing Haki to attack from a distance..."
Upon hearing this, Cone Green Pepper wanted to touch the head. When he touched a tall pointed head, he suddenly realized that he was no longer the bald old man, but had turned back into the pointed hero he used to be. He was immediately moved to tears.
This is real, this is not a dream...
Lynch was speechless: "Can you cry later?"
"Ahhh, I'm sorry, little benefactor..." Qingjiao sobbed, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said seriously, "I heard that what you said about Rayleigh thinking that the Eight Strike Fist can be cultivated into Dominant Color is just Rayleigh's guess after hearing your remarks. Is that true or not?"
Lin Qi said: "Just tell me if you can do it."
"This... I'm sorry I can't say for sure." Qing Jiao frowned, "Don't worry, little benefactor, listen to my explanation. If you say it's impossible, but if you think about it carefully, not only our Babao Navy, but also the pillars of our Huaguo Navy, seem to have a higher chance of possessing Conqueror Haki than the outside world... But, if you hadn't come this time and mentioned such a thing, even I would not have realized this situation."
"You mean..." Robin was surprised, "You didn't realize or deliberately pursue the fact that 'Eight Punches can cultivate Conqueror's Haki', but objectively your navy pillars have a high chance of awakening Conqueror's Haki, but you can't be sure whether this is due to the Eight Punches or just a coincidence?"
Pa, Qingjiao slapped his thigh and nodded: "Hey!"
“I see…”
Lin Qi touched his chin. At this time, the members of the Babao Navy brought out a table of sumptuous outdoor meals in a lively manner. The aroma of food wafted over from afar.
"I'm leaving first."
Tian Jiu suddenly stood up, stretched, patted his butt and left.
"What's wrong with dad?" Cai helped put the breakfast mat in front of Grandpa and Giorno, and looked back at his father's back as he walked away. The latter bit a branch he had picked up and hummed a country tune. "Every time it's time for a big meal, he runs away. What the hell is going on?"
Qingjiao's face suddenly fell.
Ah Cai didn't know how to be polite. He raised his hand to grab the food, but Qing Jiao slapped him away and shouted, "The guest hasn't even started eating yet. Do you know how to behave?"
"Then eat quickly!" Ah Cai covered his hands and urged Lynch and Robin.
Robin picked up the morning tea and took a sip. It seemed that there was a little jasmine in the tea.
Lin Qi grabbed a piece of roasted meat and started eating it. Seeing this, Ah Cai also started eating boldly. While eating, he asked, "Does this have anything to do with you, Grandpa, not wanting to pass on the position of the pillar of the family to Dad?"
His hands were covered in oil and he pointed in the direction where Tian Jiu left.
Qing Jiao remained silent, looking at the banquet, and sighed, "Your father is very good, but... I am afraid that if I pass the position to him, the Babao Navy, which has been passed down with great difficulty, will be destroyed by him in a few years. I don't want this navy to end in the hands of us!"
"Ah?" Ah Cai asked in confusion, his mouth full of food, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
Since his father is so outstanding, handing over the Eight Treasures Navy to him should make it more prosperous. Why does his grandfather think it will lead to its destruction?
Qing Jiao shook her head, picked up the basin-sized bowl and started eating. She didn't want to talk more about this topic, and only said: "Grow up quickly, kid, so that I can pass on the position of pillar to you."
Robinette chewed slowly like a lady, while Lynch had no interest in listening to other people's family affairs, so he asked, "Let's put aside whether it's a domineering color or not. But you said before, 'You said this precisely because you haven't understood the Eight Punches, it's not a specific boxing method'... What does this mean?"
Qing Jiao was thinking about how to repay the favor. Hearing this, he stroked his thick beard and explained, "Ba Chong Quan has been passed down in this land for thousands of years. In fact, many people know it, either through family inheritance or by practicing a few moves from someone. But in fact, people who only know a little about Ba Chong Quan really think of it as a set of boxing techniques, so they only practice the form. Only those like us, the Babao Navy, who have passed it down from generation to generation, know that the essence of Ba Chong Quan lies in strength, not form.
"Amateurs practice form, experts practice strength!"
Robin said to himself, "You mean, the core of Ba Chong Quan is not the specific boxing techniques, but to strengthen the muscles and bones and temper the domineering spirit?"
"This..." Qingjiao frowned and said in a dilemma, "Yes, but not right! How to describe it... In short, it can indeed train the body and domineering, but it is not just that."
After all, the information that can be conveyed by words is limited. Qingjiao put down the washbasin and bowl, glanced at the table which was already littered with cups and plates, and took a suitable one from the pile of bowls in front of Lin Qi.
"Here." He handed it to his grandson A Cai.
Ah Cai had no choice but to lift it and place Lin Qi’s empty bowl on top of Qingjiao’s large basin.
"My benefactor, look carefully, this is what the Eight-Strike Fist really looks like..."
Qingjiao raised his fist, growled, and smashed it on the bowl that Ah Cai was holding higher up.
But what surprised Robin was that the bowl taken from Lynch after being hit by Green Pepper did not change at all. Instead, the large basin with Green Pepper underneath was smashed to pieces with a "bang" by an invisible force.
Shoot the bull from behind the mountain?
Lin Qi suddenly recalled that in the Dressrosa manga, when Lao Cai and other Flower Country navy used the Eight Punches, there seemed to be a scene where they smashed the opponent's armor through their swords or shields...
"No," Lin Qi frowned, thinking back to the feeling when Qing Jiao threw his fist just now, "It seems a little familiar..."
Robin said, "You fought with him all night, so it's normal to think he looks familiar, right?"
"That's not what I meant..." Lynch shook his head, "Let me think about it for a while."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He pondered and thought, Qingjiao touched his pointed head, and cried a few times in his heart, this is true! The old man's cone head is back! Robin suddenly asked: "Mr. Qingjiao, have you heard of the 'Burial Flower Valley' or the 'Low Bamboo League'?"
"Huh?" Ah Cai wiped his mouth and was confused when he heard that.
Qing Jiao's face turned pale, as if struck by lightning. He stared at Robin with a sullen face, took two deep breaths, and asked in a difficult voice, "Where did you hear this name..."
Before Robin could answer, Green Pepper raised his hand to stop him, "No, don't tell me. I don't want to know!"
The old man looked at Robin solemnly and warned him word by word: "Never mention this word again! At least in the Kingdom of Flowers, never mention it again..."
Robin was a little surprised, but nodded and didn't mention it again.
Ah Cai was even more surprised than Robin. He had never seen his grandfather look so worried, as if the "Low Bamboo League" mentioned by Kujo Jolyne just now was some kind of taboo... However, he had only heard of the "Demon League", an evil organization that the king severely cracked down on and purged, but he had never heard of the "Low Bamboo League". Are the two related? His thoughts were stuck for a few seconds... Ah Cai suddenly realized, damn, this Low Bamboo League is the Demon League! "I do it!"
Lin Qi suddenly shouted and slapped his palm, "So that's it, I remember now!"
Robin was puzzled. If there was anything you couldn't remember, why not just call out "BIB" and ask?
Lynch shook his head. This was not a problem of memory, but a problem of déjà vu... If you don’t know what to search for, you don’t know how to search when you open "Darkness"!
He raised his fist, which was wrapped with a layer of armed color domineering, and then made the commonly used gesture of the Six Kings Spear.
Seeing this, Robin thought about it carefully and gradually understood.
A while ago in the North Sea, when Lynch was dealing with Doflamingo and his gang, he forgot to remove his Armament Haki and successfully used the Life Return Skill Six Kings Spear, which he could not have used at the same time without using Haki...
And the "strike the bull across the mountain" punch that Qingjiao had just used actually gave him the same feeling as he did at that time. It was a completely new experience different from using the "BIB" cheat to achieve "domineering + life return".
"How do you make eye contact?"
Ah Cai looked puzzled.
Robin came back to his senses and laughed... At this moment, a member of the Eight Treasures Navy rushed over and shouted from a distance: "Chief Qingjiao! The king sent an envoy..."
He ran all the way here, panting and wiping the sweat off his knees.
Qing Jiao's face, which had become serious because of Robin's question just now, froze and said, "Speak properly. The king sent an envoy. Is there something?"
"They... they are here..." The member of the Eight Treasures Navy calmed his breath, looked at Lynch and Robin at the table, and said seriously, "Looking for the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
Ah Cai was surprised and asked, "The king is looking for these two?"
Qingjiao touched his head, said nothing, and looked at Lynch and Robin.
Just when Robin thought that Lynch didn't want to bother with the king, Lynch stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go meet the king."
