Chapter 694 Mirror Meili, Stick to Black Brother
[Chapter Serialization·In the Clouds 3·"Let's take a walk on the earth together, the high and mighty God"] [On the way back, the red-haired girl Aisha walked in front happily, leading everyone to stroll on the land of their hometown of Shandia. The warriors wore armor and held swords, but they were as relaxed as if they were on a picnic. Enel was tied up by Tieyun, and was led by Noland and Weber on the left and right. He had a blank expression throughout the whole process, as if it was indeed the first time for him to use his feet to walk so slowly on this land that he had ruled for six years...]——
The sea breeze after the baptism of the water gods was particularly refreshing. It blew across the grass and gave many people who were stunned a chill.
Many people, especially the shipwrights, knew for the first time that the Straw Hat Boy Luffy… wanted to recruit the monster-like Lynch, the Lynch who had been famous in the sea ten or more years ago, competing with those legendary names, and making big news——to be his partner???
Is this guy's brain okay? What level are you? What level is he? !
Pulling out a leg hair can crush a whole boat of rookies! "Huh? What's the matter?"
Luffy was chewing his meat, feeling very puzzled by the eyes around him who were looking at him in disbelief. He pointed at the black armor under the tree over there and replied to Berumeber, "What are you talking about, kid? Hasn't he always been our partner?"
"This is a super pirate with 2.2 billion berries!"
Coby and Berume both showed their Enelu faces, looking at Luffy as if he were an incomprehensible magical creature, "Mr. Luffy/Straw Hat, how much is your bounty? It's only 100 million berries!! - Although a bounty of 100 million berries is also high! But compared to 2.2 billion, it's completely in a different world!!!"
"What?!" Luffy was shocked and said in surprise, "My bounty has increased to 100 million Baileys?!"
Coby, Bellemer and other shipwrights vomited blood on the spot. So what you said just now was based on the premise that you thought your bounty was only a few tens of millions of berries? !
Is your heart so big?
"What can we do?" Luffy said dissatisfiedly while eating meat, "After leaving Alabasta, we went to Sky Island, came down from Sky Island, and came out here! No one told me that my bounty increased!"
However, his bounty increased, which was always a good thing, and Luffy soon became happy again, "One hundred million berries, that's great! Hehe..."
"Hahahahaha!" Garp laughed with his head raised, then he punched Luffy down and said angrily, "What's there to be happy about just because your bounty has been increased? You disobedient, stupid grandson!!!"
"I'm a pirate! Of course I'm happy when my bounty increases!" Luffy covered the bump on his head and yelled back angrily, "Stupid grandpa!!!"
"What did you say!?"
Garp was furious and picked up Luffy and beat him up again.
Watching this strange pair of grandparents and grandchildren PK on the spot, no matter whether it was the marines, the shipbuilders, or Luffy's own crew members Zoro and others, they were all frowning and sweating. They finally understood why Luffy's vitality was so strong.
"But... this isn't right..."
Coby still found it hard to understand, and Bellemer also frowned tightly, thinking that Luffy had not figured out the key point yet, so he tried to explain, "Mr. Luffy/Straw Hat, you want Lin - that Lynch, to be your partner, haven't you thought about the consequences? He is a legendary pirate with a bounty of 2.2 billion Baileys! - If, I mean if, he really gets on your ship, how are you going to get along with him?"
"Ah?" Luffy, with a bump on his head, tilted his head, a question mark appeared on his head, and said depressedly, "Coby, stupid master, what on earth do you want to say?"
"It's the captain!!" Bellemer couldn't stand it anymore and decided to be the first to tear up the topic. He yelled at Luffy, "A super pirate with a bounty of 2.2 billion is on your ship, Straw Hat, do you still have the nerve to be the captain yourself?! Are you going to transfer the position of the 'captain' of your ship to Lynch? - And you! Pirate Hunter!"
Bellemer stared at Zoro, "You haven't said anything since just now. I guess you must have thought about this problem earlier than the idiot Straw Hat, right? You novice pirates who haven't even been to the second half of the Grand Line, how are you going to get along with a super monster like Lynch who can swim freely in the Grand Line? - For a man like you, do you want to recognize Straw Hat as the captain, or Lynch as the captain?! If you encounter a crisis in the future, if you have to rely on Lynch to protect everyone, what is the captain for?!"
"……?"
Luffy and Zoro crossed their arms and tilted their heads at the same time, with a big question mark in their heads.
Zoro stroked his chin and said calmly: "Having such a powerful guy on the ship, wouldn't it motivate me to become stronger? I think it's okay."
"You're still as dumb as before, silly young master!" Luffy sighed with an expression that said "I can't do anything about you." "Of course I'm the captain! Lynch is great, but does that have anything to do with who is the captain?"
"……?"
Coby and Bellemer were sweating and tilted their heads at the same time, with a big question mark on their heads. Not only them, but other marines and shipbuilders were also confused by Luffy's words.
Usopp shook his head. "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The 'Captain' in this guy's mind may be completely different from what you think!"
He tapped Luffy's rubber head, Coby took a deep breath, and asked cautiously: "Then... Mr. Luffy, what do you think 'Captain' is?"
Luffy crossed his arms and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm the first person on the ship to eat meat!!"
"What the hell is that!!" Others were shocked, "Where in the world is there such a captain!!!"
"Hahahaha..." Garp burst into laughter with tears streaming down his face. He also gave Luffy, who was full of question marks, a thumbs up, "You really are worthy of being my grandson! Hahaha..."
Even Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp couldn't help but smile, but Luffy was unhappy. He raised his fists menacingly and said very seriously: "And I will become the Pirate King!!!"
"Who asked you that?!"
The shipwrights and marines raised their hands to interrupt his declaration. Seeing how they were led by Luffy and became the lively and crazy scene on their own ship, Usopp was so happy that they couldn't stop laughing.
"But..." Bellemere still couldn't understand, "Don't the so-called Pirate Kings have to be the strongest to rule this sea full of pirates? If there is a Lynch on your ship who is much stronger than you, are you going to duel with him in the end?"
"I'm not interested in ruling the sea!" Luffy said, "The freest guy on this sea is the Pirate King! You're still as stupid as before! - And I think Zoro's strength now is a little bit stronger than mine!" He turned his head to look at Zoro who was calm and composed beside him.
Zoro smiled and said, "I'm using a knife, so isn't it natural that it's more powerful?" Moreover, after Hei Zai's guidance, he knew the specific goal of "Ryu Sakura", and he absorbed his master Koshiro's teachings more quickly and comprehensively.
"But if we fight, I won't lose!" Luffy stuck out his tongue at Zoro. Zoro hit Luffy on the head with the hilt of his sword.
"I just don't understand you anymore..." Bellemere was dumbfounded.
This Straw Hat kid has an inhuman brain. In the previous sentence, he said that the Pirate Hunter is stronger than him, but in the next sentence, he said that he would not lose to the Pirate Hunter in a duel...
Bellemer gave up thinking.
"I think it's easy to understand..." At this time, Nami came over and smiled at the people whose worldviews were disrupted and whose perceptions of the world were shattered by Luffy's remarks, "For example, my dream is to draw a world map. In fact, it can be achieved anywhere - for example, by joining the navy! You don't have to be a pirate."
Sanji smiled, lit a cigarette and said, "As for me, I just want to find 'All Blue'. This has nothing to do with being a pirate or not."
Robin walked to the tree not far away and stood beside "BIB" and thought, isn't your dream the transparent fruit? "I want to be the world's greatest swordsman." Zoro pressed the handle of the Wado Ichimonji, "I don't care whether I'm a pirate, a navy, or a pirate hunter. I don't care what my identity is."
"I want to be the bravest sea warrior!" Usopp said with a face, "But not the bravest pirate!"
Chopper took a deep breath, raised his hand and said, "I want to become a panacea that can cure any disease - even Robin's heartache!"
"...Thank you." Robin looked at the eager little reindeer, smiled helplessly, and said to himself, "Can you delete this memory? I was worried about by my 'pet'. It would be embarrassing if your real body saw it."
"BIB" next to him crossed his arms and said, "I'll mark it so that it will be easier to browse the main body."
Nami twirled the golden staff in her hand, hit Luffy on the head, and said with a playful smile: "If this guy doesn't become the captain, this pirate group won't be established! I will definitely be the first to run away. Bell-mère has always wanted me to be a marine!"
"You should be obedient." Karp said unhappily. Although he didn't know the girl's adoptive mother, but... he felt a sense of sympathy!
Zoro also said: "If it weren't for Luffy, I would have gone around challenging the swordsmen on my own."
“You guys…”
Franky looked at the people on the grass and was immediately moved to tears. "It's too romantic... wuwuwuwu... I must build a dream ship for you. Only bastards like you are worthy of riding on my treasure ship... wuwuwuwu..."
"What?"
Luffy was confused. Isn't this how it should be? Why do these people look so shocked?
“Wahahahaha!”
Garp was full, his short gray beard was stained with soup and sauce from the food. He stood up, rubbed his fists, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm full! How arrogant, Straw Hat boy, you are just a bunch of pirates, and you dare to speak so shamelessly in front of me!"
"Lululu!" Luffy made a face at Garp and was beaten up on the spot.
The shipwrights were confused. They were fine just now. What happened? The marines and Zoro and his men immediately entered combat mode and faced each other. Marines and pirates were originally such opposing camps. What was so surprising? Zoro smiled at Coby and his men, and Berumeber shrank his neck.
"Listen up, Luffy!"
Garp's rough hands pinned Luffy to the grass, and he growled sullenly, "You are my grandson, I can't kill you! I will not allow you to go to the prison through the Gate of Justice on Judicial Island!"
"Let me go!" Luffy kept slapping the ground, "It's no big deal, we must have another way to go! Damn grandpa!"
"I know you will definitely find other ways..." Garp buried his eyes in the shadows, "But Luffy, have you really thought it through? Impel Down Prison... That is a place where you can't return! For pirates, it is hell!!"
"If hell is so scary, shouldn't we go there?" Luffy said, his face distorted by the pressure, "Because our friends are still there."
"..." Garp let go with a gloomy face, fell on the grass beside him, rubbed his white hair, and sighed, "Now that you are in prison, don't expect that your grandfather will come to save you when you are about to die! Stupid grandson..."
Brushing off the grass debris on his body, Luffy put on the straw hat that Shanks had temporarily lent him, "If I can't even save one of my friends, then I'd rather die than be the Pirate King."
"Ahhhhhhhh!..." Franky cried violently, "I can't take it anymore. I will continue to build a ship for you now..."
Looking at the noisy scene over there, and seeing Luffy continuing to eat and drink as if nothing had happened, Robin said, "I have something to ask you."
…
"What do you want to ask?"
"You said at the beginning..."
Robin walked towards the seaside, followed by a phantom in black armor. She looked up at the clear blue sky and asked softly, "Have you ever read a 'Book of Prophecy'?"
"I guess so." "BIB" did not comment. This was a lie that the main body made up when it revealed the current situation of the Rumbar Pirates and Brook at Cape Gemini. Although it was nonsense, it was not completely nonsense.
Isn’t the “One Piece” comic that I read in my previous life, in a sense, a “prophecy book” for this world?
For Lynch, who has already been in this world, there is no need to worry too much about the relationship between the comic author Oda in his previous life and this pirate world. As a classic saying goes: Let a monkey type on a typewriter randomly, as long as the number of words is enough, it can even randomly type out a set of Shakespeare's complete works. Maybe there are countless earths and countless Odas in the universe, but the Oda in Lynch's previous life happened to be the Oda who drew a work that is exactly the same as the "fate" of this world.
Robin turned his head and looked at the glimmer in the narrow eyes on the black mask, and asked seriously: "What do you think of Luffy?"
"BIB" copies everything about Lynch, including his cognition.
——In fact, this is also the reason why "BIB" has insisted on staying by Robin's side for the past ten years. Sister Robin is the first person the main body sees after crossing over, and is also the most familiar person to the main body in the past ten years. For the main body, Robin is the best "anchor point" to integrate the two self-identities of "Lin Qi, the time traveler" and "Lin Qi, the pirate", so that "BIB" will not lose himself in the ten years separated from the main body. This is something that Hancock cannot give.
Its view is naturally the same as Lynch's view, although it is Lynch from ten years ago before he left the Kingdom of Flowers.
"BIB" thought for a moment and said slowly: "We have seen the devil fruit encyclopedia before. You know that there is a 'luck fruit' in the parahuman category, right?"
"You mean, you think Luffy has the best luck?"
"The long night is coming, and the child of destiny will be born. I think Luffy will become the Pirate King. He will be the Joy Boy that Roger and the others have been waiting for."
“Heroic view of history?”
"A new generation of 'Poseidon' mermaid princesses happened to awaken during these years; Pluto's design drawings were passed down from generation to generation; more and more old guys knew a little bit of the secrets of the world; more and more people will awaken, and for the first time, the Revolutionary Army, an army that serves the people instead of the nobles, appeared... The tide of the times is getting higher and higher, and it is about to be unstoppable, and Luffy happened to be born in this era."
"BIB" shook his head as he walked, "If Roger was born 40 years later, maybe he would be Roger instead of Luffy. I believe that heroes are made by the times."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Can't it be you?" Robin asked, "I don't think Lynch will lose to that kid Luffy."
"This is based on the premise that the main body is interested in this."
"BIB" said, "Is Whitebeard weaker than Roger? No, but Whitebeard is just an old man who lacks love, not Joy Boy. Was Rocks weaker than Roger back then? No, but Rocks is a villain with lofty ambitions, and certainly not Joy Boy - it's obvious that the Mermaid Princess Poseidon wouldn't bother with such a birdman. ...Although the original is not a big villain, he is not a good guy either. Except for you, Hancock and a few others, the original has little interest in what will happen to the world and where the waves of this era will blow, and it can't be said that he doesn't care. There are not many people in this world that the original cares about. He is a person who can watch the world sink and turn around to find something else interesting to do. Luffy probably can't do it, right?"
If Lynch cared... he would have joined the Revolutionary Army many years ago, Robin couldn't help but think.
"And Luffy is really lucky!"
"BIB" As Robin slowly walked to the beach, the waves hit the shore, and Lab pushed Camie out of the fountain on the sea not far away. The narrow eyes on the dark mask glowed faintly, "Although it seems that many people don't take the big prison seriously, as if they can go in and out as they please..." Magellan's poison is at the level of annihilating the Blackbeard Pirates. If you touch it, you will die. As for whether the Swallow Swallow Fruit and other means can solve it... If it can't be solved, then just send it directly.
"It's not a bad idea to try to take advantage of the luck of the child of destiny and turn misfortune into fortune."
"BIB" said, taking the lead and flying up, leaping onto the tattered Merry.
Robin stood on the shore with his hands behind his back, looking up at the operation.
I saw "BIB" floating to the bow of Mary's boat, and with a big hand, it pulled out a ball of light outline of the size of a child from the sheep's head. Mary cried "Aiya" and "Aiya" as she was pulled out by "BIB".
"Woo..." Mary hugged BIB's legs and rubbed her face against them. The rich breath of life and the pure taste of soul made Mary, a special soul body, feel very close to him.
"You are like a moth flying into a flame. Knowing that your birth means death, why do you come out?"
"BIB" squatted down, touched the head of Mary who seemed confused, took out a triangular chip from the reactor in his chest, held the triangular chip with vortex lens patterns in his right hand covered with red flame patterns, and punched it into Mary's chest.
"Oh……"
Meili's eyes widened.
Robin suddenly turned around and saw Nami waving at her. The orange-haired girl had been working hard on her "heart net" or observation Haki recently, and when she found out that she was missing, she hurried over to look for her...
~~~~~~~~~~~ “Merry?!!!”
At the seaside of the Seven Water City, Franky's new ship, the lion-head-shaped Thousand Sunshine Sunny, has been successfully launched. The whole ship is several sizes larger than the previous ordinary small sailboat Merry, and Franky has crammed in many places such as a library, gym, large kitchen, bar lounge, operating room, armory, etc.
But at this moment, Luffy and others gathered next to the Sunny, next to the tattered smaller Merry, looking at the child-like Merry who jumped off the ship.
"Unbelievable... Is it really a ship elf..." Many shipbuilders in the Water City rubbed their eyes hard and said in amazement, "I thought it was just a strange story among sailors..."
Usopp was surprised and happy, "Merry! Are you okay?!"
Hey, hey, under the gaze of a pair of sparkling eyes, Merry trotted to the front of BIB, tiptoed to hold the big hand of the black armor, and smiled innocently: "Yes... Hei... Hei..." It raised its confused little face, and BIB pushed its face back, "Call me Hei brother." "Oh..." Merry shook BIB's mecha palm full of flame patterns and smiled at Luffy, Usopp and others, "It's Hei brother... Give me the mirror... So I... can continue to accompany you..."
"Mirror?" Zoro, Sanji, and Luffy all asked in questioning. Franky and other shipwrights also couldn't understand.
Mary didn't know how to explain it, so she just demonstrated it. She stretched out her little hands, and under the astonished gaze of everyone, a force like water waves was born in front of her palms, spreading rapidly and turning into a huge mirror tens of meters high.
As soon as such a tall mirror was made, it slowly began to fall over.
"Be careful!" Although Sanji didn't understand what was happening, he immediately took action and threw away the gold accessories on his black suit, which turned into a layer of golden fluid, wrapping around the entire huge mirror and steadying it in front of everyone.
Robin explained to the curious crowd: "It is the ability of the Mirror Fruit. 'BIB' gave this fruit to Mary. Mary can now not only create mirrors, but also freely enter and exit any mirror into the mirror world..."
"That is to say..."
Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper and the others suddenly realized what was going on. They looked at the huge mirror wrapped in gold in front of them, and then looked back at the tattered and patched-up Merry on the shore. "So we can put Merry's main body into the mirror world, and let Merry accompany us on the journey?!"
"Wow! That's awesome, Sister Robin!!!" Nami pounced on Robin like lightning, laughing brilliantly, and turned her head to give a playful look to 'BIB', "Thanks, Hei Zai~~"
"Okay! I've decided!"
Luffy raised his fist and announced loudly, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "Let's go on an adventure to the mirror world!!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp punched him. Nami also gave him an electric shock and said angrily, "Let's send the Merry into the mirror world first!"
"right……"
Luffy, with a bruise all over his head, raised his fist in response.
"Roar~~!!" On the distant sea, Lab swam over happily. The mermaid Kami sat on its scarred head, smiling and waving her arms to the people on the shore.
Soon, Franky and other shipwrights watched as the pirates worked together to lift the broken ship, which was already unable to sail, into the mirror world.
"I really walked into the mirror..."
The younger brothers of the Franky family covered their heads and looked doubtful about their lives when they saw the Straw Hats carrying the Merry one after another into the huge mirror with golden edges.
The ship elf Melica is at the boundary between the inside and outside of the mirror. As the "key" to open the mirror world, it blinks expectantly at Robin and "BIB".
Robin and "BIB" walked into the huge mirror together, as if walking through a layer of water waves.
Soon, a pair of rubber arms stretched out from the mirror and tied up everyone outside without any hesitation. Amid the screams of the crowd and Mary's giggles, they were all dragged into the mirror world.
“Let’s have a banquet!!!!!”
In the mirror world, Luffy's excited shouts echoed. In front of the tattered Merry parked in the mirror world, everyone was drinking, eating meat, singing and dancing, and laughing happily at Luffy's antics.
BIB commented: "'JoyBoy' obviously doesn't fit the character well..."
Robin drank on the edge and nodded slowly.
Merry was humming a song beside her, happily watching the people at the banquet. Robin looked at Merry and suddenly asked, "Do I have to carry such a big mirror with me all the time? But if the mirror is broken and becomes smaller, I won't be able to take out Merry's body..."
"It's okay..." Mary raised her little face and said carefreely, "As long as there is a small piece left, I can come in and find the place where the boat is parked..."
In order to demonstrate to Robin, the elf ran to the mirror world not far from where the broken ship was parked, and pressed his two little hands on the twisted wall.
Silently, Mary created a huge mirror on the wall.
"This..." Robin was extremely surprised. "Merry, can you create a mirror that can be used to exit the mirror world?"
Back then, even if it was Lin Qi, if he was inside the mirror world, although he could create a mirror, but even if he walked into the mirror he created, he would only return to the mirror world...
BIB said with emotion, "I understand. Meili can create a 'reverse mirror'... Unlike the 'positive creatures' that live in the 'positive world' like the main body, Meili is an elf. She doesn't have the difference between positive and negative, so she can create a 'mirror of the mirror world' to lead to the real world outside..."
This is not surprising. Although the main body is a genius in using devil fruits, no matter what devil fruit, as long as he gets it, he can develop it to the fullest, but there are some people in this world who are particularly compatible with specific devil fruit abilities. For example, the princess Rose at the time was extremely compatible with the Pipe-Pipe Fruit, so she was able to develop a more advanced "air duct" at a young age.
Of course, this is also the reason why Lynch himself never actively develops any devil fruit. He just plays with it casually, and when he gets tired of it, he throws it into the warehouse to collect dust and doesn't even bother to look at it again...
Obviously, a special life like Meli is quite suitable for the mirror fruit.
It is not restricted by life forms. It can create ordinary mirrors in the outside world. In the mirror world, it can also create a talking "mirror in the mirror", which can directly lead to the outside world through this "mirror in the mirror"...
~~~~~~~~~~~ The brand new Sunny slowly left the Seven Water City...
Lab carrying the mermaid Kami wandered in the sea not far away, following the Sunny to the next sea area.
"Why are you on the boat?!" Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami and others stared at this underwear pervert in amazement.
"Oh?" Luffy said while eating meat, laughing, "I invited him to the ship, didn't I tell you that?"
"What the hell did you say!!" "Just do whatever you want! You're so shocking when I'm not looking at you!" "Billions of volts!" "Wow!!! Why is even I shocked!!!!"...
There was another round of clanging and noise on this brand new ship that had just been built.
Mary was sitting on the lion's head of the Sunny, holding a small mirror wrapped in gold, watching the scene with a naive and sweet smile on her face.
It raised its hand and waved at Robin and "BIB" who walked out of the cabin on the second floor, then floated towards them, and finally sat on the black armor's... head like a balloon.
The little guy hugged BIB's visor like a facehugger, and rubbed the black visor affectionately without any expression...
