Chapter 708 The Stand Returns!

Hancock and Robin felt their hearts tighten at the same time.

They all understood that what Lynch was referring to was the next incident where he would take back the substitute.

"Don't worry, I'm not unprepared." Lynch said to them, and then like a real ghost, he silently passed through the bars of the cage and came in front of his physical body.

Luffy blinked blankly, confused, "So there are two Lynches?"

Lynch turned into a ball of dark smoke and poured into the skinny body. He slowly opened his eyes. A circle of golden lines surrounded his dark pupils, and they looked bright and energetic.

"They've become the same!" Luffy exclaimed.

"What do you mean by being prepared?" Hancock reached out and grabbed "BIB" that was about to fly back into his body, staring straight at Lynch whose body had revived.

Over there, Nami has found the key and unlocked Hai Na's shackles.

Hai Yina rubbed her wrist and stood up, saying calmly: "Didn't you notice all the way here? Among the prisoners in and outside this big prison...how many of them are not depressed?"

As she spoke, she walked out of the cage alone, "Let me give you a hint. Before this guy came in, the sixth floor of this big prison was not as quiet as it is now."

After a pause, Hai Yina looked at the fishman in the cell opposite, who seemed to be called Sea Knight, and said, "Of course, there are occasionally 'fish that slip through the net'."

Come to think of it, I am also one of those who slipped through the net. Hai Na shook her head and walked quickly towards Lasha and Gabor who were sleeping against the wall. Chopper's antidote was almost ready.

"What does she mean?"

Nami and the others didn't understand what Hai Na said for a moment.

On the other side, in the dark cage, the blue fishman spoke in a deep voice, "Although I have not been here long, I can still answer some of your questions..."

After Luffy, Zoro and the others looked over, Jinbei glanced at the other dim cages on the sixth floor and said slowly: "The pirate you want to save is 'Ripple Messenger' Lynch... Every time his soul leaves his body and wanders outside, he will pick prisoners and suck their energy! That's why the prison has become so quiet... This prison, which is regarded as hell by pirates, is like a back garden for him to wander around at will!"

“……?!”

Zoro, Sanji, Brook, Law, Cavendish and others looked shocked. Did they hear it right? Is there such a thing?

Marian opened her mouth in amazement. It's so cool to be able to do this!

"Jinbei, don't be so polite!"

Lynch, who had returned to his physical body in the cage, smiled and said, "Weren't we friends once?"

"..." Jinbei frowned and said nothing.

Sanji looked at the miserable appearance of Lynch, who was chained in front of him, with confusion, "But, he looks like this..."

"Oh, this?" Lynch said nonchalantly, "It's just 'power saving mode'. With so much muscle and such a huge body, the daily consumption is annoying. - In life, we should save as much as possible."

He and 'BIB' exchanged glances.

The next ten years will be worth it. This has to be saved! "Hey!" Sanji reacted, grabbed Lynch's skinny body and shook it, and said indignantly, "So, in these ten years, while Sister Robin was suffering outside, you were actually living a carefree and happy life in prison?"

A murderous aura attacked Sanji.

It's the empress.

Hancock had a dark look on her face and squinted at Sanji.

She doesn't care whether this man is Luffy's partner or not. Anyone who dares to touch Lynch is challenging her bottom line.

Being hated by the most beautiful woman in the world... Sanji's heart suddenly broke into pieces. He let go of Lynch and fell to his knees.

"Hey, don't shut yourself up,"

Sanji heard Lynch talking, and then a pair of chains dangled in front of him, with the keyholes sealed tightly by a layer of gold.

Lin Qi said: "My seastone handcuffs were sealed with gold by that bad woman. Don't you have the ability of the Gold-Gold Fruit? Just take the gold away."

"But this gold is in contact with seastone?" Nami asked doubtfully, "Sanji's ability to control gold will be eliminated by seawater..."

"BIB" nodded.

The Gold-Gold Fruit is different from Mr. 3's Candle Fruit. The Candle Fruit is a super-material type. Its ability is to create candles rather than control them. The candles created are real candles, and it doesn't matter if they touch sea water or seastone; but once the candle is shaped, it cannot be controlled.

The Gold-Gold Fruit is different. Although the user can turn into gold, it is not a passive trait like the Rubber Fruit, and Sanji cannot make gold. His ability is essentially an "enchanted" superpower that controls gold. Of course, this buff ability will be directly eliminated when it comes into contact with sea water.

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Are young people nowadays so stupid? You don't have to take away all of it. Just leave the layer of gold that is closely connected to the seastone keyhole. The rest can be taken away bit by bit, right?"

"If that's the case..."

Sanji was stunned, and tried to touch the gold blocking the keyhole with his finger. Sure enough, as he removed his finger, strands of gold were also pulled out from it...

…

In a blink of an eye, Sanji carefully removed the gold that sealed the lock of Lynch's handcuffs, just like performing a delicate surgery, leaving only a thin layer. These "gold foils" were tightly attached to the seastone handcuffs, and Sanji was completely unable to control them - but this was enough! Lynch didn't even need to control his hair to harden into a key shape, Nami had already found the corresponding key and opened the handcuffs for Lynch.

Click.

The lock of the seastone handcuffs that had held Lynch captive for ten years made a slight sound and then loosened just like that.

"ah……"

Lin Qi sighed and let out a deep breath, as if with emotion.

Power is emerging...

Around Lynch's black pupils, a circle of golden lines shone brightly. He stood up gracefully, still skinny, but when standing in front of Robin and Hancock, who were both 1.9 meters tall, he shook his body and suddenly grew a lot taller. Although his body was still skin and bones, his height had returned to its original 2.5 meters.

"Even after growing taller, you're still so thin. You look even scarier." Nami looked up and couldn't help but complain.

Lynch smiled, stretched out his hand and gently touched the faces of Robin and Hancock, who were looking at him steadily, wanting to touch him but not seeming to dare to do so. Without raising his head, he said, "Next, I will take back the substitutes that have been released for ten years... Although I have also prepared for this day for ten years, I am not sure that I can survive it. - Can you handle them?"

them?

Luffy, Zoro and the others were stunned. At this moment, a loud bang was heard from the end of the corridor on the sixth floor. Nami felt her scalp tingling. "Could it be..."

She rushed out and took a look, her face suddenly turned pale. The elevator at the end of the corridor crashed to the bottom, and the gate slowly opened. Coming out of the elevator... were Magellan, the warden of the Impel Down prison who had been transferred away earlier!

"They're here again?!"

Usopp, who had just taken the antidote prepared by Chopper and hadn't even recovered yet, was so frightened when he saw the poisonous man Magellan that his vision almost went black.

Lasha and Gabor also woke up, with pale faces but dazed looks as they were supported by Heina. They looked together at the people who came out of the elevator - in Magellan's hand, he was holding another person covered in poison.

"Kamui!" Heina stared at the woman in Magellan's hand.

"Haina..." Kamui in Magellan's hand heard a voice he hadn't heard for ten years. He opened his eyes fuzzily and muttered to himself, "Have I come to the underworld? I seem to hear Haiina's voice..."

"Where do you want to go, you pirate scum?"

Magellan threw Kamui aside with an expressionless face.

Chopper was very worried about him. At this time, Luo raised his finger and shouted "ROOM——", and whoosh, Kamui was transferred directly from there to Chopper.

Hai Na suppressed her annoyance and worry, and with a blank expression, she helped Lasha and Gabord to lean against the wall and let out a long breath, "Lynch boy, don't be so stingy, how about lending me some 'power'?"

"Go on." Lin Qi's voice came from behind, "It's considered returning the favor, auntie."

Hai Na raised her hand to catch the thing thrown from behind her. It was an apple-shaped thing with mixed air flowing in it. She smiled faintly, not minding it, and started to bite it.

"Lynch, do your thing," Luffy stood out from the crowd, rubbing his fists. With a determined look, he punched the ground. His body began to heat up, and wisps of hot steam came out. "As for them, leave them to us."

"That's right." Zoro tied a turban, bit the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, and drew the double swords of Snow Solitaire and Sandai Kitetsu from his waist, "As long as we kill them all, we can leave the big prison, right?"

"Yohoho..." Brook also drew out the Wano Country's national treasure Qiusui from his waist, "Venom is useless on my already dead corpse! Yohohoho..."

"I'm Lightning, so I should..." Nami also stood up, "I shouldn't be afraid of poison, right? Uh..."

The silent Luo, the cigarette-holding Xiaocao, the silly Beppo, the indifferent Cavendish, the slightly nervous Anne and Amorine, and the usually calm Marianne, all stood up one after another to face Magellan and a group of head jailers.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"At least they can be of some use," Hancock said reluctantly.

"Hey, if you need help, I can help." A familiar voice came from a nearby cage. Robin looked over and saw that it was Crocodile, a sand crocodile in prison clothes. The latter said with a bad look on his face, "If I want to escape from the prison, my ability to turn obstacles into sand is very convenient, right?"

"I... I also have something I must do!" Jinbei said reluctantly in the cell opposite, "Ace is going to be publicly executed, which will definitely lead to a head-on war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy - in order to uphold justice, I must stop this war that will inevitably lead to tragic sacrifices! Please let me out too... please!"

Ace?! Sanji, Zoro, and Nami were shocked and looked at Luffy.

"Nami, help them unlock the cells and handcuffs."

Luffy took a deep breath, his fists wrapped with Armament Haki, "Kuro, what are you waiting for?"

Whoosh! Luffy disappeared, and his fists rushed towards Magellan's poisonous dragon.

Zoro wields three swords, Sanji kicks out gold, Nami raises her hand and fires a 100,000-volt weapon, Cavendish flashes with swords, Xiaocao keeps firing guns, and Law opens up the ROOM domain...

The battle broke out immediately!

And "BIB" also looked at the main body, and the two nodded silently. Let's start!

The substitute turned into a black shadow and rushed into the body of the original body.

boom!!!!!!

As if he was hit by an entire planet, the skinny Lin Qi almost had heart and lung arrest on the spot, his eyes widened, his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, and bloodshot appeared densely...

"ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In an instant, endless fatigue and pressure overwhelmed Lynch's spirit.

Lynch's consciousness was on the verge of blurring, and he could not even hear his own almost mad roars due to the severe pain and spasms. In an instant, Lynch's body turned red, his veins bulged, and hot blood flowed rapidly. White hot steam burst out of his body - Hancock and Robin's eyes turned red almost instantly, and they lifted up Little Green almost tremblingly and sent him into the Den Den Mushi castle.

"Hand him over!"

Magellan seemed to have spotted this opportunity as well. He extended a huge poisonous dragon, passing over the fighting people and attacking the Den Den Mushi Castle in Robin's hand.

"Get lost!"

Hancock was furious, with the domineering color wrapped around her feet. She kicked the poisonous dragon's head crooked with a black lightning strike in the air.

Robin endured the pain in her heart and took a deep breath. Lynch was going through hell at the moment. If she could share the burden, she would be willing to bear it all for Lynch, but... she knew that Lynch could only survive by himself, just like he had done for so many years. No one else had any right to intervene.

With a wave of her hand, Robin used the ability of the Flower-Flower Fruit to cover the bodies of Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and others who were fighting the poisonous man Magellan with a layer of condensed petals.

In the blink of an eye, the bodies of these people seemed to have "grown fatter" out of thin air, and they were wearing a layer of armor made of their own "skin".

"This seems to help fight your troublesome poison a little bit!"

Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Cavendish, Law...even Heina smiled and stared at Magellan who looked surprised, "Thanks, (Nico) Robin (Sister)!"

…

The people outside are fighting, and inside Den Den Mushi's castle...

The living room was almost submerged in clouds of white hot steam.

In the "thick fog", Lynch's painful roars never stopped. No one could imagine what kind of hellish torture he was going through at this moment.

Two flower clones condensed in the thick fog, revealing the figures of Robin and Hancock.

The one with Hancock is his Hua Zizai clone, and his expression is a little stiff.

Robin's flower clone was much more agile and no different from the real person. With tears in her eyes and biting her lips, she followed Lynch's shrill roar with Hancock's clone and walked into the thick fog of hot steam.

Lynch was kneeling on the ground, his skinny body twitching and cramping.

Shoulders, neck, chest, abdomen, back, biceps, gluteus maximus, thighs, calves... Every part of Lynch's body had lumps of muscle that would suddenly swell up and then disappear from time to time...

It was as if there was a terrifying power within his body that could no longer be restrained, and would rather destroy his flesh and blood than burst out.

Lynch himself suppressed this terrifying power and pressed it within his body.

“Ahhhhhh…”

Hancock's flower clone had a blank expression on her face, but Robin's flower clone looked reluctant and couldn't stop crying.

She controlled Hua Ku Ke and walked towards Lin Qi. Her trembling hands wanted to touch him, give him strength, or even share a little bit of his pain...

“Ahhh…”

Suddenly, they saw a cloud of black smoke coming out from above Lynch's head.

Is it so painful that your soul is about to fly out?!

Robin and Hancock were both startled, but when they saw the dark soul leaving the body open a pair of golden eyes, they suddenly remembered that Lynch... he could have taken the initiative to leave the body a long time ago! "Hiss——"

Lynch's soul jumped out from the top of his head and landed next to Robin and Hancock. He grinned and said, "It really hurts! Damn it..."

Robin turned her head and looked at him with tearful eyes, then looked back at his body which was constantly spasming and on the verge of collapse.

"Don't worry! Didn't I tell you that I'm prepared? I expected this day to come."

Lynch's soul pointed at his own body and pointed a finger.

A large ball of mixed air emerged from his soul body...a huge sphere surrounded by it, just like a super-enlarged version of the "apple" he had used before.
