Chapter 714: Golden Fruit
"I'm sure the commander-in-chief has not forgotten how he fell into our hands ten years ago?"
"If Lynch manages to escape successfully this time, what kind of terrible revenge will he, Nico Robin, and Boa Hancock take on the Navy and our World Government?"
"We must not let him leave the prison..."
…
As the sea beasts swam, the wounded Steel Bone Sora sank into the sea. While his consciousness was blurred, he recalled the conversation he had with the Five Elders in the Holy Land of Marijoa before the Great Prison.
…
[“No one in Marinford can get away, so we can only ask you for help…”]
[The old man in kimono sighed softly and put on his glasses again. ]
[The old man with long hair and a long beard beside him took out a dark red wooden box inlaid with gold and placed it on the coffee table in front of Gang Gu Kong.]
【"What is this?" Gang Gukong frowned. 】
[The old man with long hair didn't say anything. He pushed the gold-inlaid wooden box towards Gang Gukong and gestured for him to open it.]
[“…” Steel Bone pressed the gilded lid of the wooden box with his bare hands, looked up at the five elders at the top of the world’s power, then gently opened the lid of the wooden box. After seeing what was in the box, he was a little stunned.]
[A golden fruit is quietly placed in the brocade box. ]
[“Devil Fruit?” The golden fruit was only half the size of his palm. Gang Gu Kong took it in his hand and examined it carefully. “There are no patterns on the surface. It doesn’t seem like a devil fruit.”]
[The Five Elders in the Judge Hat said in a deep voice: "Because this is not a Devil Fruit."]
【“What is this?” Cyborg asked. 】
[“Cyborg, you are old after all.” The old man in kimono held the long sword, a ray of light reflected on the lens of his glasses, and looked at Cyborg Sora who was holding the golden fruit. “If anything happens, you eat this fruit, which will allow you to return to your heyday and regain your peak strength... Then you will not lose to any pirates.”]
[Cyborg, who was about to put the thing back into the box, suddenly stopped.]
[He held the golden fruit in his hand, was silent for a moment, and asked: "So, what is the price?"]
[The old man in kimono, the old man with long hair, the old man with short golden beard, the old man with judge's hat, the old man with big beard and bald head, none of the five people spoke, just looked at Gang Gu Kong.]
～～～～～～～～～～～ Advance City University Prison.
The entire huge and ancient building that extends directly to the seabed seems to shake slightly from time to time.
From the first to the sixth floor, a large number of prisoners have not regained consciousness because they were affected by the Conqueror's Haki emitted by Luffy and Hancock along the way when Robin and the others left. However, after many jailers and head jailers were knocked down, some of them gradually regained their ability to move. They listened in amazement to the rolling muffled sound coming from the top, which is the first floor of the sea of the big prison. What on earth is that? Thunder outside the prison?
The sound of waves? There couldn't possibly be a huge tsunami heading towards the prison, could it?
Some prisoners who tried to escape in the chaos ran to the first floor above the sea and rushed towards the open gate with excitement. However, as soon as they rushed out, the oncoming invisible force burst out with blue-black dancing lightning, like a sledgehammer hitting the heads of the prisoners pouring out of the prison gate. Their eyes rolled back and they lost consciousness.
"It's just that he unconsciously released his Domineering Haki..."
Lasha and the others in the air gate space saw this scene, but they were not shocked. Instead, they were left with numbness towards Lynch's extraordinary strength.
"No more?"
Through a layer of air gate, they heard Lynch say this.
The sky, which was always dark and dense all year round, was now clear and bright, with the sun pouring down and illuminating the prison and the nearby rough sea...
Bathed in the long-lost sunshine, Lynch looked at the clear sky and waited for a moment. Sure enough, no new invisible attacks came from the air, so he put down his palm pointing at the distant sky.
With his current strength, if Yimu could kill him accurately with a single strike from a distance, then there would be no need for Yimu to arrange the three generals of Warring States, Monkey, Chicken and Dog to ambush him. Wouldn't it be easier for her to just stay in Marijoa and lock him in and do this? ——Not easy.
Even with Lynch's strength ten years ago, facing this kind of powerful attack - in other words, a long-distance attack with a skill pre-swing and a long casting time, even if he couldn't fight back head-on like today, it would be no problem for him to take Robin and Hancock to avoid this direct attack. Then the result would inevitably be "alerting the snake", and Im undoubtedly gave up doing so.
——Of course, if the target of such an attack was Lynch, who was still very weak at the time, it would naturally be a 100% hit, and Lynch would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
But on the other hand, Lynch, who was still very weak back then, probably did not have the qualifications to enter Im's sight and be targeted by her.
The black ghost-like substitute armor flew back, leaving a black line in the sunlight.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After being released again after being united with the main body, "BIB" has updated its version and naturally knows the main body's experience after being captured ten years ago and in the past ten years... Yimu, it is indeed Yimu! And Yimu's target is exactly as it guessed ten years ago, which is the biggest special feature of the main body, that is, "BIB" itself, which is the main body's substitute ability.
As soon as the main body walked out of the prison, Im couldn't help but attack from a distance.
Are you in a hurry?
"So, what shall we do next, Marinford?" the stand-in asked, floating in front of the main body.
"Well," Lin Qi said, "Whitebeard helped stop Big Mom back then, so we owe them a favor. Of course we have to go to the top to see what's going on!"
"You...don't even think about it...cough cough..."
There were sounds of splashing water and Kong's voice nearby. Lynch and "BIB" turned their heads to look over, and saw Kong crawling out of the sea covered in blood and water, and returning to the suspension bridge in front of the prison gate.
Gang Gukong was already covered in wounds, but he still managed to stand up again, with traces of water mixed with blood dripping down his body. He kept panting, staring at Lin Qi with bloodshot eyes, and growled: "I will never... let you escape from here... Huh, huh, I will never allow a dangerous person like you to go to the Navy Headquarters!!"
"Old man, you are so old now, why do you continue to be a dog for others?" Lin Qi said to Kong Gang very sincerely, "Aren't you tired of it?"
Steel Bone Sora remained silent. Under the gaze of Lynch and BIB, he took out a golden fruit from his arms.
"It doesn't look like a good thing. I suggest you don't eat it—" Lynch nodded, "Okay, I've already eaten it."
After Gang Gukong took out the golden fruit, he put it into his mouth without hesitation, chewed it twice and swallowed it. While eating, he stared at Lynch in front of him and the dark shadow next to him. A fierce light flashed in his eyes. He shouted wildly in a low voice. The blood and water stains on Gang Gukong's body evaporated quickly, and the serious injuries inflicted by Lynch also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Aaaaaaah…!!”
Gang Gu Kong growled like a wild beast. In Lin Qi's eyes, his aura, which was originally a candle in the wind, suddenly seemed to be poured with a bucket of gasoline, and suddenly burned fiercely, like a blazing flame erupting!
