Chapter 61: Island Whale, Rainbow (Two Chapters in One)
[Chapter Serialization·Young Hunter 2·『…………』] [A figure with wings spread out passed over the sea. The man's face was extremely pale, he wore a half-high silk hat, had no eyebrows, his lips were red as if stained with blood, he wore straight black trousers, his arms turned into white wings, and he stared at the news bird in front of him, which was also flapping its wings and hovering, for a long time. They both couldn't free their wings to pick up the newspaper...] "How old are you this year?"
"I look like an 11-year-old, but I am smarter than most people. I am probably in my twenties or thirties at heart."
"Haha, you really know how to joke. But this courage should be the reason why you can hunt pirates at such a young age, right?"
"If you say so, then so be it."
"As far as I know, the first pirate you hunted only had a bounty of 130,000 berries, while the highest record so far is 1 million berries. Why is there such a gap? Is it because you were more cautious at the beginning, and later felt that the so-called pirates were nothing more than that? Have you ever thought about hunting pirates with bounties of millions of berries, or even more than 10 million berries, in the future? Just like the mysterious pirate hunter recently - Jotaro Kujo."
"Jotaro is my idol."
At the restaurant table, filled with delicious crocodile meat, Lynch sat on one side, the World Economic Forum reporter sat on the other, and BIB sat on the other.
While eating, Lin Qi said, "It's not that I'm being cautious, but at the beginning I could only beat such weak players... As for why I raised it to 1 million Baileys, it's because I've become stronger!"
The reporter smiled, not quite believing it. How could he jump from hunting weak pirates with 130,000 berries to hunting not-so-weak pirates with 1 million berries in just a few days? And judging from the boy's appearance, he had never been injured.
What an amazing young talent.
"Have you ever thought about joining the navy?" the reporter asked. "At your age, it's probably not too late to join now. With your skills at such a young age and your experience in hunting pirates, you might be able to become a naval commander in the future!"
Lynch didn't bother to pay attention to him. He knocked the edge of the plate with a meat bone and shouted, "Even if I, Giorno, starve to death," holding up the meat bone, "I will not be able to become a navy soldier if I jump into the sea from here!"
The reporter was confused and continued to ask questions. Lin Qi answered casually. Finally, the reporter took out his camera and took a few photos of him.
"Your news is very interesting and should be published in the newspaper. Please pay attention to the latest newspaper." The reporter smiled gracefully, put down a few banknotes, stood up and left.
…
Phew, Lynch spat out a meaty bone, and it was time to leave the island.
As he was thinking this, he looked around the store while eating, and suddenly noticed a short old man who looked vaguely familiar among the people at a table not far away.
"Who is it..." Lynch frowned and thought while chewing on the crocodile meat.
He gave up halfway through thinking and directly consulted his portable memory bank. "Hey, B, who is that old man?" He pointed his greasy mouth in that direction.
BIB locked onto the person the main body pointed at, his eyes glowing white, and he quickly replied, "I met him on Nanjia Island. He was the old steward of a merchant ship... Everyone called him Old Henry."
"Oh oh!" Lynch remembered and immediately waved the meat bone and called out happily, "Grandpa Henry! This way!"
At the same time, Lin Qi grabbed a few bills left by the reporter and said, "Waiter, give us something better! It's my treat."
…
"Who are you?"
A few people from old Henry's table came over and looked at the black-haired boy in confusion.
"I'm Giorno, we met before on Nangako Island!" Lynch said with a smile, "You're welcome, this table is on my table. Alligator meat is delicious!"
Old Henry was very confused at first, but when he saw Lynch's eating style, he immediately had an impression.
"It's you." He didn't remember the boy's name, but he often saw this boy who loved to eat in the taverns and restaurants on South Chicago Island.
"Giorno?" The others were immediately stunned. "No way, is it that Giorno?" "The young hunter who has been quite famous on this island these days?" "Is it him?" "He is such a big eater, so he must be the one..."
"Where are the big guy who is always with you and the other little guy?" Old Henry looked around and found that the young man was indeed the only one there.
The waiter brought a bunch of signature dishes and various drinks. Lin Qi said with emotion: "Life has its own dreams, and each one is wonderful!"
"Ah?" Old Henry and others were confused.
Lin Qi continued to speak: "Grandpa Henry, can I leave on your merchant ship? I want to go to other places recently to see if there are any suitable pirates to play with..."
…
With the reputation of the young hunter and a little help from Bailey, Lynch negotiated with the people on the merchant ship about boarding the ship.
However, they will not leave today. They will wait until they have dealt with the merchant ship's affairs before setting sail tomorrow morning for the next island.
In that case, Lynch went back to the hotel and packed his things - mainly the money.
There is no electronic payment in this pirate world. Fortunately, the denominations of banknotes are large enough, otherwise it would be very troublesome for him to carry tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of cash with him.
Because of Jotaro Kujo's efforts in recent times, Lynch carried too much cash and his original backpack could no longer hold it.
Lynch was too lazy to go shopping, so he asked "BIB" to do the same, putting on a large windbreaker, a hood and a star mask, and going to the street to buy a larger suitcase.
He himself was playing with the green Den Den Mushi and running to the woods to have fun.
"I probably won't be able to learn how to change the color of my body." Lin Qi put Xiaolu on the stone again, clasped his hands together and asked to be his disciple, "But - how did you harden your body? I have some ideas about the burst of power similar to 'shaving', but I have no idea how to harden the body and strengthen the defense..."
The green Den Den Mushi was puzzled, "Bolu Bolu?"
What a mess you are asking. Aren't those things something you are born with? Do you still need to learn those things?
Humans are so strange! ...
On the street, "BIB", with a highly recognizable look, went shopping and pedestrians on the roadside made way for her.
"Hey, did you see that? Could that be... Jotaro Kujo?"
"Star Mask...it's him!"
"What a terrifying aura!"
"As the rumors say, he is as taciturn as expected!"
"Does he want to buy a box? Uh, the boss's legs are shaking..."
『BIB』 entered the store in silence, and came out carrying a new box in the eyes of the shop owner who looked like he had survived a disaster. Along the way, it observed every face, imprinted it in its "memory bank", and compared it with the "West Sea Pirate Bounty Encyclopedia"... Some people in the crowd were so scared that they lowered their heads and walked away. 『BIB』 thought about it and decided that it was not suitable for hunting in the clothes and carrying the box, so it decided not to cause trouble for the main body.
Old Henry and the others were also in the crowd. Looking at the tall figure in the fluttering windbreaker, they smacked their lips and said, "It would be great if we had a bounty hunter like this as a guard on our ship! We wouldn't have to worry about running into pirates every time we go out to sea..."
"This Kujo Jotaro single-handedly wiped out a pirate group with a bounty of tens of millions," the companion said sincerely, "We can't afford such a master."
…
Den Den Mushi can't actually talk.
In other words, they don't know human language.
When they are on the phone, what they say is all transmitted through the bioelectric waves from the other end. They interpret what the Den Den Mushi on the other end hears and sees, and then imitate it exactly.
Therefore, it is certainly impossible for the green Den Den Mushi to speak human language and guide Lynch.
It has never even mimicked Lynch's words like a parrot, enunciating them clearly - perhaps the only thing that Den Den Mushi can imitate is the radio waves of its fellow Den Den Mushi.
But it can't teach, Lynch can learn.
With a malicious look on his face, he stretched out his fingers, held down the green Den Den Mushi, and poked it all over.
Little Green got angry and started biting.
Unable to bite, he was so angry that he could only stiffen his body to defend himself.
Lynch poked the originally soft Den Den Mushi with his finger and immediately felt something different.
Lynch carefully stroked the difference.
In my mind, I recalled the posture of the antelope woman on the flower boat when she hardened her body - using the "iron block" of the six styles to defend against swords.
"I have to say, this is a really dirty trick..." Lin Qi sighed, "It really makes it difficult for the aunt's 43 husbands..."
After practicing with iron blocks in the woods for most of the day, Lynch returned to the hotel exhausted.
After all, the flowers by the window are not made by the power of flowers and fruits, and cannot bloom brightly at any time and anywhere. At this moment, the flowers by the window have turned yellow and gradually withered.
Lynch heated a cup of milk and pinched two halves of the yellowed petals.
After sniffing it, he smacked his lips and said, "The flowers of the fruit tree are still more fragrant!"
Drink it all and go to sleep.
…
The next day, Lynch came to the port with a bag and a large box, and saw the brigantine belonging to old Henry and his crew.
"Giorno, over here!"
"Morning, come up quickly!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The people Lynch had met at the hotel yesterday greeted him on the boat.
Lynch walked steadily onto the deck, walking on the long steps, carrying his bag on his back and holding a large box in one hand.
When the crew saw him step up and the curve of the pedal, they knew that the box in his hand was very heavy! "This box is very heavy, let me help you carry it!" A sailor came over with a smile, "Come, uncle will take you to the cabin, your room."
Seeing this, Lin Qi smiled and said, "Okay."
He handed the box to the man, who immediately felt something heavy in his hand and exclaimed, "Oh, it's really heavy."
Others also laughed and joked, "Could the box be full of stone toys?"
Lin Qi said: "It's all money."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the person who helped carry the suitcase, but everyone else's expressions changed slightly, and they quickly and secretly glanced at each other in silence.
"Come on, uncles and brothers will take you to the cabin!"
"Don't get tired..."
Lin Qi seemed unaware of it and continued walking forward with a relaxed look on his face.
On the way, I met old Henry. Old Henry frowned and asked, "What are you guys making so much noise about?"
Lin Qi smiled and said, "My uncles and brothers know that my box of money is very heavy, so they are helping me carry it."
The enthusiastic sailors immediately laughed and kept silent.
"You good-for-nothing!" Old Henry cursed. "You're making a fool of yourself for a child!"
The sailors didn't take it seriously. They asked the kid to suffer a small loss so that he wouldn't suffer a big loss in the future. So what was wrong with taking some reward?
Lin Qi asked with a smile: "Grandpa Henry, what is this place down there?"
He stamped the cabin floor beneath his feet.
Old Henry was stunned, thought for a moment, and replied, "I remember it was the utility room, it was quite messy and no one went there... What are you going to do?"
"Oh!" Lin Qi turned around, took the big box from the enthusiastic sailors, and waved his hands with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. Goodbye~"
Just as the enthusiastic sailors were full of surprise, Lynch lightly stepped on the floor.
call out--
A huge hole immediately appeared in the floor under the feet of the sailors, and several people fell down.
Rumbles, crackles, bangs, crashes, the sound of debris falling, cries of pain, one after another. As the huge hole in the floor quickly closed, all the sounds in the cabin below were blocked and stopped abruptly.
“You...this...?!” Old Henry was stunned and stood there in a daze.
…
Cutting through the waves, the merchant ship moves forward on the sea.
Lynch packed his luggage and returned to the deck to get some fresh air.
The sailors gathered together, covered in dust. When they saw Lynch appear, some wanted to rush over angrily and teach him a lesson, while others were frightened and hesitated, and kept a certain distance away.
"Want to fight?" Lynch lay on the side of the boat and enjoyed the sea breeze.
On the deck next to him, the dark "ghost" that no one could see was doing his daily exercises meticulously.
"Come back!" Someone pulled the aggressive sailor back and reminded him, "He solved the problem of a pirate with a bounty of 1 million..."
The sailor's face was covered with dust. He said disdainfully, "What a boast! It must be like what happened just now. I don't know what kind of magic he used to take advantage of the situation... With his tiny arms and legs, I can kill two of them with one hand!"
In less than half a minute, the deck shook with a "boom". The sailor, who was lying on his buttocks in the air, told the others from his own experience that he could not kill two Lynches with one hand.
But Lynch dodged and taught him a lesson easily in front of everyone.
"You're just embarrassing yourself here!" Old Henry rushed over and yelled, "If anyone wants to be rude to Giorno, you can! Even if you lose, just admit defeat and get off the boat!"
He blew his beard and glared and shouted: "Get out into the sea!"
"Really?" Lin Qi perked up when he heard it. "This is so exciting! Come on, let's fight?"
He rubbed his hands and approached the sailors.
The sailors immediately dispersed and ran away. Lynch laughed.
Old Henry looked at the boy for a while and asked, "You... have eaten a 'devil fruit', right?"
Lynch smiled and said, “Yeah.”
Why don't you ask me how I know about Devil Fruits? Old Henry was a little upset, and finally said with emotion: "What an amazing boy!" No wonder he can defeat the pirates alone.
…
A strange cry came from the sea in the distance, very dull and distant.
Lynch, like everyone else on the deck, stopped and turned to look.
The sea surface broke open, and a black whale as big as a hill emerged, followed by the second, the third... More than a dozen huge black whales floated to the surface of the sea, roaring in unison, and then sprayed beams of water mist from their heads.
Farther away on the horizon, the setting sun was half-sunk in the sea. Dozens of high-spouting and dispersing water mists refracted the setting sun and dispersed into colorful rainbows.
“It’s so rare to see this!”
"It's a symbol of luck. This voyage will be smooth!"
The sailors on the deck cheered, some took off their clothes and waved them towards the dozen or so black whale shadows in the rainbow mist over there, and some whistled happily.
Old Henry said beside Lynch: "That's an island whale..."
Lynch was also watching the sunset rainbow created by a dozen island whales on the sea.
"A long time ago, there was a group of guys who were good friends with a little island whale..." Old Henry muttered to himself, "I wonder what happened to those guys now!"
Lin Qi said: "Still on the sea of dreams."
