Chapter 735: People’s Dreams, Wills Passed Down from Generation to Generation

[Chapter Header Series · Deck from the World 2 · "Musexin Island"]

[The sound of music floats on the island. In a small house by the sea, old Henry, who retired from the merchant ship, is drinking. A copy of the latest newspaper is placed on the table, and the photo of a man named Giorno, also known as Lynch, is extremely conspicuous. Old George looks at the figure of the afro skull in Xiao Ge's photo, and happily shakes his head and plays the violin...]——

[Shabaodi Archipelago, Tree Island No. 20——]

The tangled roots of the mangroves float on the sea, rising and falling in the dim water at night, as if they were breathing.

In the faint moonlight, the Sunny stopped at the shore.

The resin bubbles that kept coming out of the tree island were flying all over the sky in the moonlight. The night was quiet, the tide was roaring, and the scene was like a dream.

“Hmmmm~~Hmmmm~~”

There were several figures on the Sunny, and a low humming could be heard from them.

Marianne held a drawing board and casually sketched the fantastic night scene of Champagne before her.

On the surrounding decks were Annie, Amorine and her daughter, Nami who had taken a shower and changed her clothes, the perverted cyborg Franky, and Brook who was humming like he was trying to lull a child to sleep.

Merry, who was yawning in his afro, was not lulled to sleep by the lullaby. Instead, Franky, Annie, Amorine, Nami and others around her fell asleep unknowingly while listening to Brook's magnetic voice that penetrated their souls.

Suddenly, the sound of whales roaring was heard on the quiet sea on the moonlit night.

"Lab?" Brooke stopped humming, "Yohoho, it looks like they are here."

"Brother Hei?"

Mary's eyes lit up in the afro, and she couldn't wait to fly out, like a transparent little sailor-shaped ghost, she swung to the top of the cabin, tiptoed to look into the distance - and sure enough, she saw a pirate ship sailing towards them in the moonlight on the black undulating sea. Leading the way in front of the pirate ship was the mermaid sister, and the big whale Lab was circling the pirate ship, shouting happily.

"Alright, alright, stop messing around, Lab."

Lin Qi's voice could be heard from the swaying bow and the crowd of people, "If you move your huge body casually, the current will become unstable."

"Roar..." Lab floated on the water with a wronged look on his face.

Lynch smiled, jumped off the boat, jumped on top of Rab, and shouted, "Charge!"

"roar!"

Lab happily swam towards the Sunny on the shore.

The turbulent waves made the mermaid Camie who was following beside them giggle. On the pirate ship that was shaking constantly behind, Shanks shouted, "We want to ride the island whale too. How treacherous!"

“Brother Hei!!”

As Lynch approached the Sunny in the Lab, he saw a small shadow flying towards him and jumping into his arms.

Ouch...

Lynch carefully caught the little guy, afraid that he would break it.

Lynch jumped towards the Sunny and stepped on the fence surrounding the ship. The boat spirit in his arms raised its head and looked at him with its big eyes flashing, looking left and right, a little confused.

"What's wrong?" Lynch smiled and rubbed Mary's little head with a sailor's hood on it. "Don't you recognize me?"

"You are Brother Hei!" Mary shook her head and hugged Lynch happily like a face-hugger.

"It can actually recognize it?" Marianne came over with a drawing board on her back. Behind her came Anne and Amorine, mother and daughter, who were rubbing their eyes to wake up.

"Yo ho ho ho... because Mary can distinguish different people by the breath of their souls." Brooke walked over gracefully, with a realistic smile on his skeleton face.

"Yeah!" Lynch put Mary on his shoulder and the little girl made a gesture with her hands as if to say "look how powerful I am".

"Lin..." Amorin walked over, a little hesitant.

Lynch smiled and said, "It's the same if you call me Giorno."

"Brother Giorno!" Amorine laughed immediately. This name, which she had remembered in her heart for a long time, sounded more familiar to her.

"Lynch!"

Nami and Franky also woke up and walked over. Seeing Lynch with Merry sitting on his shoulders, they couldn't help but smile.

The skinny and haggard figure in the prison, the unstoppable figure in Marinford, and the black-armored figure who had been on the ship like a ghost knight, gradually overlapped with the person in front of him.

Sister Robin, who is always sad and haggard, and even the Pirate Queen of Nine Snake Island... The pirate with a bounty of 2.2 billion Baileys in the newspaper, and the figure of Sister Robin and Luffy's grandfather who faced the four admirals of the navy alone to protect his loved ones ten years ago... Cavendish, Marian, Amorine, Anne, Luo, Xiaokusa who decided to go to the big prison together to repay their gratitude... The center point of many people's relationships, emotions, fate, and connections is Lynch.

Lynch looked at them and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper all took Senzu Beans before, and now they are suffering from the side effects. They are now sleeping and resting their bodies." Franky said, "Before Chopper fell asleep, he forced himself to treat everyone. Now Whitebeard's pirates are also resting on the island. The few people in the submarine have left. I heard that they decided to continue to the New World. Some people who are still awake are waiting for your news."

The ones in the submarine? Lin Qi understood that he was referring to Luo and baby5.

Brooke said, "Merry seemed to be terrified by what happened on Judicial Island last time. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see you and Robin anymore, so she had to wait for you to come back here."

"No way..." Mary on Lynch's shoulder suddenly felt shy. She turned her head and hid her face behind Lynch's neck. But when she hid her face behind, she just happened to see Robin on the approaching pirate ship, who also had a smile on her face.

"That's no wonder," Lynch nodded, "It's not a good reputation to follow the ship stream!"

"Ah?" The others were puzzled.

"Sister Robin!"

Robin jumped from the Red Hair's ship to the Sunny with Hancock and Sanda. Nami immediately cheered and rushed to hug Robin.

In the sea, Lab laughed happily.

"There's something I didn't have the chance to say before, so I'll make it up now."

Brooke straightened his suit sleeves, walked slowly to Lynch, and held out his skeleton hand, "Mr. Lynch, thank you... for everything you have done for Rab."

Tears appeared in the dark eye sockets of the skull.

If Lynch and Robin had not told Labou the truth about their Rumba Pirates at Gemini Cape more than 20 years ago, Labou would have spent many years in pain, confusion and disappointment.

Based on Brook's life experience, he could imagine that if it weren't for Lynch and Robin, he might still be able to meet the Straw Hat Pirates and join them while wandering in the Magic Triangle, but he probably wouldn't have reunited with Lab so early...

"It's so... great to be able to see Lab again!" The skeleton held Lynch's hands with both hands and cried bitterly.

Lin Qi smiled and said, "We didn't do anything actually. If you really want to thank me, can you lend me the Yomiuri Fruit to play with?"

"Don't, don't joke around, Mr. Lynch!" Brooke said hastily, "I will die without the Yomiuri Fruit..."

"Hahaha, just a joke!" Lynch patted Brooke's shoulder. Brooke, who was almost two meters six feet tall with his afro, was the first person of similar height to Lynch that he had met in a long time.

"Hey, Lynch, are you going to leave or not?"

Over there, the Red Hair Pirates' ship had already stopped. Shanks and his crew waved at them from the shore in the night, "Go to Mr. Rayleigh. Ace and the others should be there."

So everyone walked together towards the depths of the Sabaody Archipelago.

With a splash, Kimi climbed ashore from the sea, and suddenly a "lifebuoy" made of resin bubbles was handed to her. She looked up and saw Robin smiling.

"Thank you." Kimi hesitated, "I'd better wear a skirt..."

"Don't worry, no one can hurt you." Robin said, putting the bubble ring on Cami's fish tail so that she could float and move freely on the shore.

Kimi lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, then she took Robin's arm and walked beside her as if she was swimming in the air. She smiled and said, "Sister Robin, you look so beautiful when you smile."

"Did I rarely smile before?" Robin touched his face.

Lynch, who was walking backwards in the crowd in front, was waving at them, signaling them to hurry up. Hancock and Sanda beside them also looked back.

"Here we come!" Cami waved his tail and happily chased after him with Robin.

…

"The people of the Chabaoti Archipelago are still so simple and honest!"

In the night, Lynch said with a smile.

They set out from Tree Island No. 20 and headed towards Tree Island No. 13 where Xia Qi's bar was located.

In the hazy night, there was an uneasy atmosphere in the silence, and in the air swept by the evening breeze, there was still a faint smell of blood.

There was a restless atmosphere everywhere in the Sabaody Archipelago. Many small fry took advantage of the night to fight, kill and burn, and kill each other. It was unknown whether they were pirates or hooligans.

Passing by Tree Island No. 15, the group was passing by a bridge. Suddenly, a group of ferocious and majestic figures jumped out from the bridge. They all exuded a strong fishy smell and grinned evilly, saying, "Stop! This bridge belongs to our Xiongba Pirates! Do you know who our captain is? He is known as 'Xiongba West Sea', a... big... pirate with a bounty of 92 million Baileys..."

As these people talked, they gradually saw clearly the faces of the people walking on the bridge.

"Huh?" Shanks asked in confusion.

"Huh?" Lynch looked up.

Behind them, on the left and right, were Beckman, Jesus, Lucky Lu, and Marco... Sandersonia, Hancock, Robin, Cami, Nami, Franky, Brook, Marian, Anne, and Amorin...

Lin Qi?! And the Pirate Queen, the Devil's Son? How come I bump into so many big shots when I'm robbing people at night?

It will scare people to death!

Moreover, could the red-haired guy who was chatting and laughing with Lynch be Shanks, one of the Four Emperors? !

Wait, that pineapple-haired guy, could it be Whitebeard's captain of the First Division, Marco? !

Is this necessary? All the pirates who blocked the bridge and robbed others turned pale, their foreheads were covered with cold sweat, and their legs were trembling. As they walked across the bridge, one after another their crotches were soaked, and their legs became weak and they fell to the ground.

Shanks and his friends didn't care much about these small fry, but some people couldn't help it.

"It's disgusting just to look at it, get out of here!"

Hancock swept out with her domineering Haki, shocking the pirates so much that their eyes turned white and they fainted on the side of the road.

The group passed by at a steady pace. A dark shadow walked out from Lynch's body. Behind them came the sounds of bones breaking and people falling into the sea with bangs.

Although Shanks and the others would not do what Lynch did, they had no objection to it.

…

Soon, everyone crossed a suspension bridge and stepped onto the ground of Tree Island No. 13.

Close to Xia Qi's extortion bar, in a forest, you can see pirates supporting each other, lying or leaning on each other, and resting outdoors.

They were all members of the Whitebeard Pirates, each of them was wounded and wrapped in bloody bandages. Some were still awake, wearing plaster slings, with blank faces, stirring the bonfires that were flaming.

Among the people covered with thin blankets, Ace of the Fire Fist can be seen among them. Ace, who was also a natural type who took Senzu Beans, was already seriously injured and exhausted before that. Obviously, the backlash he suffered was much more serious than Nami, and he was still in a coma.

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

Marco held the Tremor-Tremor Fruit that Lynch had given him, his fingertips trembling and cold. He felt grief in his heart. Right before his eyes, his father had died... He really didn't know how to explain this to his brothers.

Shanks patted Marco on the shoulder and motioned for him to go over and meet up with the Whitebeard Pirates.

In the woods at night, there were bursts of suppressed cries, growls, and angry roars from Marco and others... Lynch, Shanks and others continued to move towards Xia Qi's extortion bar.

On the blankets spread around the slope of the bar, which was not very luxurious to begin with, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper and Cavendish were lying in a coma with bandages all over their bodies. Usopp seemed to have been busy taking care of these comatose friends. He lay on the grass exhausted, resting his head on his hands and looking at the night sky with his legs crossed. Bonnie sat on the slope not far away with her knees hugged, her face buried. It was unclear whether she was asleep or had not yet recovered from the shock of Kuma being completely transformed into a living weapon without personality...

On the steps, Rayleigh with long gray hair was holding a bottle of wine, drinking it sip by sip while looking at the moon.

Xia Qi was also sitting nearby, legs crossed, a cigarette between her fingers, dark mist lingering around her.

Lynch and the others walked out of the woods. As they approached this side, Rayleigh stopped the bottle of wine that was about to his lips and looked over.

"Finally you're here." Xia Qi stood up with a smile.

Bonnie raised her head, her eyes red, and looked at Hancock and others who were approaching.

Usopp also sat up suddenly, looked at Lynch, Robin, Nami and others in surprise, and waved vigorously - until he saw the figure of the man with dreadlocks, thick lips, and a cool and unrestrained look following the red-haired girl, and he was stunned.

"Mr. Rayleigh." Shanks waved as he walked.

Rayleigh stood in front of the bar, holding a bottle of wine and asked, "Is Whitebeard really gone?"

"Yeah," Shanks said.

"..." Rayleigh sighed softly, closed his eyes, turned the bottle upside down, and spilled a streak on the grass in front of him, muttering, "Newgate, you're gone too."

“Dad!!!”

Suddenly, Usopp's shout was heard nearby, and the sound even woke up Cavendish who was lying in a coma. He didn't eat Senzu Beans, so he was easily awakened, but it was his other personality - Hakuba who woke up.

"Hehehe..." Bai Ma exuded an evil aura and reached for his knife everywhere, but when he looked up, he saw Lynch, Robin, Hancock, Shanks, Rayleigh and others, especially Lynch who glanced at him... Bai Ma rolled his eyes immediately and retreated back to the corner of Cavendish's consciousness in dismay, letting Cavendish lie down and fall asleep again. He was a madman Bai Ma, not a fool Bai Ma. He didn't want to cause trouble and get beaten when he obviously couldn't chop the people, and there were a lot of them gathered together.

However, Jesus' attention was on his son.

He smiled as he looked at Usopp, who was trembling all over, crying and shouting at him, and waved his hand, saying, "Haha, Usopp, you've grown up so much! You look like your mother!"

“Dad…”

Usopp ran over with tears in his eyes, and when he got closer, he punched Jesus hard in the face in front of Nami, Franky and Brook's surprised gaze.

Bang! The strong Jesus was knocked away by his son's punch and rolled on the ground with his buttocks facing the sky.

"Hahaha, he got beaten by his own son!" Instead of stopping it, Laki Lu and his shipmates laughed with glee.

Shanks looked at Jesus Bu who was sticking his butt out. Jesus Bu sat up, brushed off the grass and resin sticky liquid on his head, and said with a sigh and a smile: "It's okay, I will talk to Usopp alone."

Usopp walked towards Jesus with red eyes and tears in his eyes.

"Is he okay?" Nami turned around to look at Usopp who was punching and kicking her father, and asked in surprise and worry, "I remember Usopp admired his pirate father very much, what happened..."

Franky smiled and said, "Just because men fight doesn't mean they hate each other."

"How hard to understand..." Camie exclaimed, and Nami nodded in agreement.

Lynch, Robin, Hancock, Sanda, Red Hair, Beckman, Laki Lu and others followed Rayleigh and Xia Qi into the bar.

Usopp left, and Luffy, Chopper and the others who were unconscious could not be left unattended, so Annie and Amorin stayed outside to help. Nami, Brook, Franky and Marian followed into the house...

Inside the Racked Bar, the lights were bright, liquor was pouring, and the clinking sounds of wine glasses could be heard one after another.

…

Inside the small bar, behind the bar, was Xia Qi, who was pouring drinks while making fried rice and other side dishes for everyone.

Sitting in front of the bar were Sanda, Hancock, Robin, Nami, Kimi, and Marian. The mermaid and the hypnotist were both drinking for the first time, their faces flushed from the spiciness, and they quickly exchanged for a glass of juice and milk.

In the two corners of the room, standing or sitting, on one side were Franky, Brook, and Merry who had finally fallen asleep sweetly in Brook's afro; on the other side were Beckman and other members of the Red Hair Pirates.

Next to the only table in the bar, there were only three people sitting in a triangle: Lynch, Shanks and Rayleigh.

One is the old man who was once the right hand of the Pirate King and was known as the Pluto.

One is the overlord who aspires to conquer the New World and become one of the Four Emperors of Pirates.

One is a super powerful man who returned after disappearing for ten years and was invincible on the battlefield at the top.

Everyone watched the three men raise their glasses, drink, and chat casually.

"So that's how you were captured by the World Government and the Navy ten years ago..."

Shanks only knew about this after hearing Rayleigh mention it. He couldn't help but say to himself while drinking, "No wonder you got so angry and insisted on killing Sengoku and the others..."

If you put yourself in his shoes, who can be more restrained than Lynch after ten years of resentment? Beckman, Franky and others shook their heads and put themselves in his shoes... If you put yourself in his shoes, let alone today's revenge, they may not be able to survive successfully in the past ten years under such circumstances! However, I don't think Lynch has such extreme negative emotions as hatred... Brooke and Marian looked at Lynch thoughtfully as he poured another glass of wine.

Lynch looked at the slightly shaking glass of wine and suddenly said, "Shanks, you once asked me, what is my dream?"

"Oh?" Shanks also remembered what happened after the Swordsman Tournament when he took Lynch and Robin to the island where Captain Roger fought Whitebeard.

Next to Hancock, Robin sat at the bar, and she naturally remembered that her dream was to uncover the truth of the blank hundred years of history, but Lynch's answer at the time was "My dream... maybe just to find a dream!"

Shanks couldn't help but smile and asked, "So, have you found your dream?"

"I originally didn't think I had any so-called dreams, but..." Lin Qi drank the whole cup, folded his arms and leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs and muttered to himself, "Ten years of solitude, facing myself, away from the world... For the first time, I had a question like this: Is this it? If I die now, will I have come to this world in vain and leave nothing behind?"

…

Under the moonlight, on the shore of Tree Island No. 13 in Shampoo, Jesus and Usopp, father and son, sat together.

Usopp wiped away his tears.

"Can we have a good chat now?" Jesus, with a bruised face, rubbed Usopp's head and said with a smile, "You're quite strong! I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt to the life of a pirate, but now it seems that I was worrying too much! Hahaha..."

"When I was a kid, I hated you very much." Usopp said suddenly, which startled Jesus.

Usopp clenched his fist and said, "I have never seen my father since I can remember. He is called a wild child by others. Do you think I have any good feelings towards such a father?"

Jesus is silent.

"But..." Usopp raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes, and he choked up, "You know, my mom always told me how great my pirate dad was... She said until the last moment of her death that being able to marry you was the thing she regretted the least! I... I absolutely don't want to make my mom regret it, so from that day on, I swore that I must be proud of my pirate dad, and I must become a pirate like you!"

"Usopp..." Jesus reached out to touch Usopp's head, but Usopp slapped his hand away.

Usopp took a deep breath, stood up and looked at Jesus, shouting with a determined look in his eyes: "Then I will surpass you! I will become the greatest, bravest, and strongest sea warrior who is even more amazing than you! I..."

Jesus sighed, hugged Usopp in his arms, and said nothing.

…

"So now I have a dream. I want to pass on this Ripple Fist!"

Lin Qi knocked his feet on the table. "There's a saying in my hometown, 'People leave their names behind, and wild geese leave their voices behind.' Forget about writing books to preach. Old Lin is not a cultured person, so I can't write books. I can only teach boxing!"

He looked at his palm and slowly clenched it. Blue-black ripples covered his palm with domineering power.

Shanks complained: "I'm afraid not everyone can learn your domineering attitude!"

It was only today that he found out that Lynch's domineering color was not awakened, but was practiced by this kid.

Who is this? With Mr. Rayleigh as a witness, Shanks naturally did not doubt the truth. He was surprised at Lynch's experience of becoming stronger. It was really a path different from anyone else's.

Have you mastered the domineering style?

It also combines life force with domineering power to form such a special, seemingly vibrant ripple of domineering power?

"How do you know if you don't try?" Lin Qi laughed, "We have to do something and leave something behind when we are here. Lily Wave Fist... I also want the name 'Lily' to let more people know about it."

"lily?"

Shanks and Rayleigh looked at each other and suddenly remembered something. "Is that your mother's name, Lynch?"
