Chapter 62: Moon Steps? Wave Steps! (Two chapters in one)
[Chapter Serialization·Young Hunter 3·『…………』] [West Sea, Lasgapu Island. An old man, leaning on a cane and holding a newspaper with the news about the young hunter "Giorno", slowly came to the hillside outside the town where birds chirped and flowers bloomed. The wind was blowing gently.] 鈥斺 Merchant ship, deck.
A burly man was wrestling shirtless with a black-haired teenager. Some sailors gathered around to watch the fun.
"come on!"
"Don't lose to a little brat!"
"Giorno is awesome! Keep it up!"
Lynch fought against the sweaty and smelly big man in front of him. His seemingly frail arms bulged with well-defined muscles, and his entire upper body seemed to have swelled and his strength increased greatly.
Especially under his feet, the wooden deck creaked.
This kid has amazing strength... The big man struggled to hold on, but in the end he was too weak and was thrown out by Lin Qi. Boom! The deck shook twice.
“Okay!!” “Ouch!!”
The onlookers cheered, made noises, or laughed and exchanged money, as if they were betting on who would win the wrestling match...
"call--!!"
Lynch let out a long breath of hot air, and after relaxing, the muscles in his limbs were swollen and sore.
He sat casually on the deck, leaning against the cabin wall, and rested in the sea breeze.
The ghostly "BIB" appeared behind him and at his sides, massaging his limbs, shoulders and back non-stop.
It has all the memories and experiences of the original body, so naturally it knows better than anyone else which parts of the original body need massage and relaxation.
Lynch closed his eyes and took a long breath. He seemed to be in a deep rest and his strength was recovering rapidly.
Intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Qi could vaguely feel his limbs, shoulders, back, head, feet...even his internal organs, the blood rushing through his blood vessels...the pacing and beating of his heart...even his thick hair, the fine hairs on his skin, and the breath of life that seemed to flow between his hair...
The accumulated fatigue and pain in the body were like red snow everywhere. With the rise and fall of my long breaths, under the shining of the spiritual sun, the red snow melted rapidly...
"Pirates!"
"There's a pirate ship ahead!"
Lynch was awakened by a scream on the deck. He opened his eyes and yawned, then looked in the direction of the sound with a refreshed look. He saw a pirate ship passing by about a few hundred meters ahead of the merchant ship.
"They're coming this way!"
"Damn it, did you notice us?!"
The experienced sailors quickly identified the movements of the pirate ship ahead. Clank, clank, clank, many sailors drew their weapons and prepared for battle.
When merchant ships sail on the sea, they naturally have guards on board.
"The flag of that pirate group..." Lynch raised his hand and looked at the skull flag on the pirate ship. "BIB" beside him quickly compared it with the "memory bank" of the West Sea Pirates Encyclopedia and told the main body the corresponding information. "The captain's bounty is only 1.4 million Baileys..." He smacked his lips and smiled, "The captain is mine, and the rest is yours, how about it?"
Old Henry also came out, his originally solemn brows relaxed a little, "Then I'll leave it to you."
He knew that this boy was the rumored devil fruit user.
In addition, he has considerable strength. I'm afraid that those three-legged cats and rough guys on his ship are really not enough for this young man to fight.
This can be seen by comparing the astonished expressions of the sailors around him after the boy said this.
…
The sky was dim and it was already evening.
The two-masted merchant ship slowly docked at the port of the next island.
The merchant ship's sailors carried various goods off the ship, while Lynch put on a backpack, carried a large box in one hand and the pirate captain's seal worth 1.4 million Baileys in the other, and jumped off the ship.
"If you have a chance, come and take our ship!" Someone on the merchant ship waved goodbye.
Lynch grabbed the pirates' claws and waved at them.
"What a strange and powerful boy!" Old Henry murmured to himself on the merchant ship.
…
Enter the town of this island.
Walking on the street, passers-by looked at Lynch.
The boy's behavior was really unique. He was carrying a big bag, holding a big box in one hand, and dragging a big man who seemed to be unconscious with the other hand... Looking at his appearance, could he be a burly pirate?! Lin Qi walked as if no one was around, and met a group of people in black suits. He asked politely, "Which direction is the naval base on this island?"
"Ah?" Question marks popped up in the heads of the men in black suits. Where did such a blind boy come from? "Get out of the way. How dare you block the way of our 'shotgun'? Boy, do you want to die?"
"Shotgun?" Lynch pondered, listened attentively, and a dark armor appeared beside his ear, who reminded him: "One of the five major gangs in the West Sea, it has recruited "Jotaro Kujo" before..."
"What are you looking at!" The man in the black suit yelled at the passers-by standing by and watching, "Why don't you come and stop this kid? Are you in the same group with him? Are you trying to provoke the guys from Shotgun?"
Passersby were shocked. How could this happen?!
At this time, Lynch walked between several men in black suits.
“Kid, who allowed you to leave?!” The men in black suits were furious and reached out to grab Lynch’s hair, backpack, and suitcase. “Stop right there, check your… ah!!”
With a whoosh, the man let out a scream and disappeared from the spot.
Lynch walked from the front to the back of these men in black suits, and they shouted "ah", "ah", "ah" one by one... whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, and disappeared from the spot.
Many passers-by opened their mouths in amazement.
Some people wiped their eyes, and those with better eyesight were wondering if they had seen it wrong... Just now, with every step that child took, a member of the "Shotgun" had a black hole appear on the ground under his feet and fell down.
But, what about the hole? Where is the hole on the ground? ? "I hope there is a cave, groundwater or something else underneath..." Lynch muttered to himself insincerely. "I hope you are all right!"
…
Bang! The door of the bar was kicked open.
The noisy bar fell silent for a moment.
This scene seemed familiar... Lin Qi put his foot down, gestured to his full hands, and said with a smile: "I can't free my hands, it's okay, you guys continue."
As he said this, he came to a table and sat down, put down his backpack and box, threw the dead pirate to the ground, and stepped on him.
"I'm so hungry, give me something to eat!" Lynch took out a stack of banknotes.
Inside the bar, many pairs of eyes looked at the young man who suddenly broke in, intentionally or unintentionally.
Some people saw the money in his hands, the bulging backpack, and the big box.
Some people carefully looked at the boy's facial features, as if they had seen him somewhere.
Someone... looked at the pirate under the boy's feet with surprise. Damn, isn't that... This is a pirate with a bounty of 1.4 million berries, and he fell under the feet of this kid? !
And in a place these people couldn't see, a black mask with eyes glowing white was floating around the bar, observing the drinkers with different expressions.
When the delicious food was served, Lynch ate it heartily. When he was so happy, he even stepped on the food a few times.
Poof! The pirate under his feet half woke up and immediately struggled. But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get up from under Lin Qi's feet, and his face flushed.
Not only... not only his one foot!! The pirate roared in his heart.
What he couldn't see was that next to Lynch's foot on his chest, there sat a faceless figure in pitch-black armor. 'BIB' noticed that the man had woken up and punched him in the head casually.
Ouch! The 1.4 million pirate's eyes went dark, and he fainted again out of frustration.
…
After Lynch had his fill, he easily found out the location of the naval base in the bar where all kinds of people gathered.
Looking at his leaving back.
"So he is the young hunter mentioned in the newspapers recently..."
"What's it called?"
"Joe...Joe what?"
The drinkers who were discussing the matter glanced at the place where Lin Qi had just asked about. A drunk was knocked unconscious. "Forget it, forget about it, just keep drinking!"
…
Naval base.
"You are that Giorno?"
"As expected, she is as young as what the newspapers say..."
"It has been verified. The reward of 1.4 million Baileys is correct."
Lynch skillfully threw the half-dead pirate to the navy to deal with, then turned around and left with his backpack and suitcase.
There was a navy man who looked at Lynch's back with a thoughtful look on his face.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"The boy's features make him look like someone from that country..." The marine quickly shook his head, "But his name doesn't look like that. Never mind!"
"Which country?"
The other Marines thought of their other extremely weird colleague. The voice and smile of that person appeared in the bubbles above their heads, and they couldn't help but shuddered together.
"He's been gone for a few days, why is he reminding us of the bad memories?!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Feel sorry……"
…
"I have wandered past so many shop windows, stayed in so many hotels..."
Lynch put the key in his pocket, made a hole in the door of the hotel room and walked in.
"Uh, what's the next sentence?"
Lin Qi threw down his luggage, fell on the big bed, looked at the ceiling and asked, "Hey, brother, there are dates in the pirate world, right? What's the date today?"
The pitch-black armored "BIB" emerged from the floor, his eyes glowing white, and he announced a date.
“Really?”
Lin Qi muttered to himself. "It's so strange, I couldn't remember their birthdays before, but now I remember them so clearly!"
"…" The armor remained silent.
Lin Qi patted his belly and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I'm full, otherwise I should have a bowl of longevity noodles!"
He indulged himself to lie down for a while, then patted his cheeks, jumped up from the bed, and stretched out his arms, "Let's go, let's continue practicing outside!"
He looked toward the window, took a few steps back, then sprinted forward, crashing directly into the window and the wall.
Whoosh, he "knocked" a big hole in the wall window and jumped out of the hotel.
…
seaside.
Lynch put the green Den Den Mushi on the ground and practiced the youth version of Shaving and Iron Block with it for a while.
He looked at the surging sea water, touched his chin, and snapped his fingers.
"Unload your equipment!"
"BIB", who was training silently on the side, disassembled his left arm covered with blue flame patterns, flew to the back of the main body, and took out the chip of the Pipe-Pipe Fruit from him.
Lynch looked at the sea and rubbed his hands together.
He took off his shoes and stepped on the spot barefoot.
"Wuhu! Take off!"
Lin jumped down with a strange cry.
"Bolu?!!!"
The green Den Den Mushi that was dozing on the ground suddenly startled.
It looked back and saw that BIB's left arm clicked back into place and it continued to exercise, seemingly not caring about Lynch's jump into the sea.
"Bolulu?"
With a whoosh, Little Green jumped to the shore and looked down at the sea.
Lin Qi jumped in the air, concentrating on performing the "Moon Step" among the six moves. Swish, swish, swish... His two bare feet kept kicking in the air.
The explosive force of shaving... the continuous hardening of the iron block?
Suddenly, a gust of wind seemed to come out from under my feet.
Lynch showed a hint of joy. It felt like what he was stepping on was a soft balloon instead of air.
Plop! Before Lin Qi could continue to think, he had already fallen freely into the sea.
Gurgle...
As he sank into the sea, Lynch puffed out his cheeks, hugged his arms, crossed his legs, and fell into deep thought, letting his body tumble in the water.
Soon, he hugged his arms and held his breath, while keeping the rest of his body still and stepping only with his feet in the water.
Wow, wow, wow…
The water under his feet became heavier and heavier, and the reverse thrust became stronger.
…
"Clatter", "Clatter"...
The black-haired boy stepped on the water and stood on the surface of the sea. The water surged but never reached above the knees.
"..."Lynch's face was calm.
My feet were clearly trying to use the Moon Step to walk in the air in a cool and stylish way, but why did it become like... I was just treading water? ! This is not a Moon Step at all! "Tsk, my legs are still not strong enough!"
Lynch was not discouraged. It was expected that his body was not strong enough now.
If it’s not enough, then just keep practicing.
Lynch stepped on it, and he stepped hard.
He didn't know how long he had been treading water, but just when he was exhausted and was about to go ashore.
"Huh? Why did it become easier?"
Lynch felt a rising current from the waves under his feet. He stroked his chin and said to himself, "Am I really such a genius? Am I improving so quickly?!"
At this time, he had almost stopped his "wave walk", but there were still waves rising up, dragging him down and preventing him from sinking.
A question mark slowly appeared in Lynch's head.
He looked down and saw a huge black shadow rising rapidly from the water! Soon, with a splash, the surface of the sea broke open and Lin Qi floated up.
Lynch's feet staggered and he fell to the ground.
Hearing the abnormal sound of the waves, BIB immediately stopped and flew to the shore. The green Den Den Mushi was also chirping at the sea.
"BIB" flew down, his eyes glowing white, and he immediately saw that on the sea surface where there was nothing originally, there was actually a giant floating... with a sturdy figure, and a simple visual estimate of more than ten meters tall!
This giant had black hair and a beard, round eyes, long eyelashes, and thick lips. He was obviously short in proportion. He wore a huge navy shirt uniform, but he didn't button it up, revealing his thick chest hair... What was even more frightening was that he didn't wear the navy uniform trousers, but a weird huge pleated skirt...
At this time, Lynch's real body was sitting on the belly of the giant floating on the sea.
"......?" Lynch stared at the giant, who kept his mouth tightly shut and his slightly fat face puffed up. "What are you doing? Are you holding your breath?"
Pa pa, he patted his bulging fat belly under the seat.
"Hate it! Stop taking pictures of me!" The giant with a full beard said in a heavy voice, "Do you like me?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the air he had taken in was released.
"Oh, bad..." the bearded giant muttered. Soon, just as he floated up just now, he sank again and sank into the sea.
Lynch used the "wave step" to step on the turbulent sea surface and whistled towards the shore.
Swish—the arm armor covered with blue patterns flew over, entered the sea without causing a splash, and quickly caught up with the giant that was unable to sink. In contrast, the mosquito-sized arm armor swooshed into the giant's hairy body, and soon took out a triangular chip that glowed white.
"Woo?"
The giant, who could only spit bubbles and sink in the water, suddenly changed his expression, and he felt that his limbs were full of strength again.
