Chapter 64: An acquaintance
[Chapter Header Serialization·Do You Believe in Gravity 7·『It’s Him!』]
[A certain island. Robin in the crowd saw Lynch passing by from a distance, his face lit up with joy, and he followed him.]
“Big news!”
Behind the restaurant, Lynch asked the boss to set up a long table in the open space so that it would be convenient for Mori, who was more than ten meters tall, to eat together.
They were eating and chatting when they suddenly heard a noisy commotion in the restaurant.
Lin Qi entered the store, holding a plate and eating noodles. Behind him, Mori's clear eyes were staring at the window, and he was tilting his head to observe the movement inside.
"What are you talking about?" Lynch approached a few people who were discussing enthusiastically. "Is it the news published in today's newspaper?"
"Yes!" They were no strangers to the young hunter "Giorno". They waved the fresh newspapers in their hands and shouted with excitement and fear, "This is big news!!"
"The admiral of the pirate fleet, Shiki the 'Golden Lion', has escaped from prison successfully!!"
"The myth of the underwater prison has been broken. The first prison escaper in history!!!"
Lynch borrowed a newspaper and quickly read it while eating noodles. Sure enough, it was the news that Golden Lion successfully escaped from the underwater prison.
The news touted the power of Golden Lion, even more powerful than Roger, the Pirate King who was executed two years ago! In addition, it also dug up the old story of the Golden Lion fleet repelling Roger's pirate group many years ago, and portrayed it in a very realistic way, making people feel like they were there. Finally, the incompetence of the navy was severely criticized. These people exaggerated the security of the underwater prison, but now someone has escaped. And it was such a brutal criminal! Who knows what kind of bloody storm will be set off on this sea if he escapes... Is the navy wasting taxes paid by the whole world like this? "Tsk tsk!"
Lynch flashed the news about the Golden Lion in the newspaper in front of Mori who was standing outside the window and said with a smile, "The first jailbreaker! Haha, the Golden Lion stole your achievement."
Mori didn't care about this. He said with some concern: "This is a great pirate who can rival Roger and Whitebeard. It will be very dangerous if he escapes!"
"Anyway, there will always be people like this on the sea, right?" Lin Qi said, "Not just the Golden Lion, there are others. Whether it's in the past or now..."
Kaido, Big Mom, neither of them is less cruel than the Golden Lion.
In fact, after Golden Lion escaped, he went into seclusion with his men to conduct research. When the research on the secret weapon was almost successful, he ran into the Straw Hat Pirates, and then his plan was aborted... All in all, the commotion after this guy escaped was not as big as the fact that he escaped from prison.
Mori said: "You are right! Golden Lion, Whitebeard... and now Big Mom and Kaido, they were all members of the same pirate group. The captain of their pirate group at that time, Rocks, was really scary!"
Rocks Pirates.
The people coming out of this ship... are all big shots.
There are three of the Four Emperors! There is also Shiki the Golden Lion who once dominated the Pirate King Roger, Captain John, the owner of the treasure that Buggy has always been obsessed with, the mysterious Silver Axe and Wang Zhi...
However, Lynch felt that there was no need to deify the Rocks Pirates.
If the Roger Pirates had changed their style when they disbanded, and most of the other crew members had not gone into seclusion but continued to sail on the sea, the legendary pirates created in the future might not have been much worse than the Rocks Pirates.
Red-haired Shanks is a sure bet for a place among the Four Emperors. Are Rayleigh and Jabba, the two right-hand men of the Pirate King, only far behind the so-called Four Emperors and Admirals? Other characters who have not been described in the main story of the comics may not be inferior to John, Silver Axe or Wang Zhi on Rocks' ship... Unfortunately, the old crew members on Roger's ship followed their captain through a long voyage and arrived at the final island of Raftel. They saw the truth of the world with their own eyes and no longer had any interest in continuing to sail on the sea.
Except for the new generation like Shanks and Buggy, the journey of the old crew members was also buried with Roger's disembarkation, Roger's surrender, and Roger's death.

After eating and drinking, Morrie went to the beach with Lynch as he did these days to help him exercise.
Of course, to the huge Mori, it is just like digesting food after a meal.
Lynch was very fast, but just a slight turn of his head or a turn of the body was equivalent to Lynch running a long circle.
Lynch's fists rained down, but Mori opened his big hands and blocked them easily without any effort.
"Your punches are powerful!" Mori squatted on the shore and tilted his head. "Your speed is also...did you use any tricks?"
Lynch stopped, holding his knees and catching his breath.
In an open space not far away, "BIB" was exercising alone, without delaying the main body.
"It can be considered a bit of a skill..." Lin Qi wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked in confusion, "How did the giant improve his strength? Is it all through actual combat?"
Mori pouted and said in a deep voice, "I don't know... I've never been to the giant kingdom! But I haven't done any special training. I just eat, drink, and rest well, and naturally I'm quite powerful. Maybe it's because I'm a giant, so I'm stronger than you ordinary humans?"
Lin Qi sat on the ground, looked up at the giant man, and said with emotion: "Your huge body may also represent abundant life energy..."
Hmm? If you think about it this way, the reason why the giant is a giant is that it is because of the return of life, absorbing some special ingredients, and naturally evolving into a huge body?
The World Government, Caesar and their experiments on the transformation of giants are intended to infer the principle of the transformation of giants? Lin Qi thought of the Sky Island chapter, and the plants that became extremely huge after arriving at the Sky Island. According to the comics, these plants absorbed some coral particles in the sea of clouds, and then slowly became huge...
"You said you were from the Kingdom of Flowers," Lin Qi asked again, "I heard that the Eight Treasures Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers is very powerful. Didn't you learn some powerful moves from them?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Mori said, "I have heard of their Eight Punches and the like... but it made me dizzy and I didn't really understand it! So I gave up."
Don't understand? Lin Qi felt strange. It's just a boxing technique, just practice it, what's the big deal about understanding it...
………………
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
The name of the young hunter Giorno has also spread a little.
Also spread were the giant marines that the young hunter often teamed up with. All kinds of strange rumors spread... Some even said that the young hunter Giorno was actually a soldier secretly trained by the navy. Otherwise, how could a bounty hunter follow a navy all day long?
Lynch didn't care about the messages. Neither did Morrie.
On this day, he took BIB back into his body, gritted his teeth with a distorted expression, endured the aches and pains that flooded his limbs, and began to carefully sort out the various intelligence it had collected while outside.
I haven't taken any action for a few days, so it's time to increase the level of the pirates I hunt.
This time, it’s an entire pirate group of several million people!
Lynch was sifting through the various intelligence sent by "BIB" and suddenly found a face that looked familiar in his memories.
This was found by "BIB" in the alley behind the bar. The man was slovenly, with new and old wounds all over his body, looking very down and out, rummaging through the trash can, picking up empty bottles and sucking on them.
"Who is this person?" Lynch thought hard, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he snapped his fingers and called out "BIB".
"He was Lynch's former pirate companion..."
