Chapter 740 Listen to me, you can’t beat Lin Qi
[Chapter Heading Series · Deck 7 from the World · "Torino Kingdom"]
[On the island of Saibo, the short, fat, black natives carrying high-tech muskets and spears, and the giant birds with bright and colorful feathers have been living in harmony for more than ten years. They gathered together and curiously read the latest newspapers...] -
call……
A burst of cold air was exhaled, condensing the air into tiny ice crystals, which fell onto the frozen sea.
Aokiji put one hand in the pocket of his white suit and pushed up his small round sunglasses with the other.
The mirror reflected four or five giant pirate ships in front of him, as well as the pirates frozen in ice with different expressions. They were all guys who wanted to take advantage of the lack of manpower in the Navy Headquarters to rob... They seemed to be quite famous pirates, but Aokiji was too lazy to think of their names. Idiots who didn't have the skills of Whitebeard and Lynch, but thought they were great, were not worth Aokiji's memory.
After the Battle of Marineford, the navy suffered heavy damage, but it could not relax immediately because the danger was not over yet.
Aokiji and Kizaru took a short rest before setting out again to wipe out the invading pirates from all directions one by one.
The navy also boosted the low morale.
Not everyone is qualified or capable of challenging the banner of justice.
The tragic loss in the Battle of Marineford was because the opponent was too strong. Whitebeard, Pluto Rayleigh, Pirate Queen, Devil's Son, and now the Ripple Messenger Lynch, who is now famous again in the world... Each of these people is a well-known pirate. In the New World in the second half of the Grand Line, each of them is enough to establish a territory and support a pirate force. Although their navy suffered heavy losses, these pirates actually suffered the same. The most important thing is that the bandit leader Whitebeard is dead! If the thieves who dare to plot against the Navy Headquarters do not carefully consider themselves, then their end will undoubtedly be the scene in front of Aokiji.
"General Aokiji!"
A subordinate came over from the warship behind the ice and handed over some brief intelligence.
The confidential information that came into view was that Commander Kong was critically ill and asked Aokiji to return quickly. Commander Kong seemed to have something to say in the end.
As for other information, such as: in a certain direction, there are unusual whereabouts of a certain pirate group... in a certain sea area, certain pirates appear... Aokiji glanced around casually, and suddenly his flipping hands stopped, and the look behind the sunglasses became a little complicated.
The situation in the Sabaody Archipelago is in chaos. The branch base is attacked by multiple pirate groups, killing and burning. The soldiers are struggling to hold on...
In the end, it was the Ripple Messenger Lynch who brought the Pirate Hunter Zoro to destroy all the rebellious pirates...
Aokiji was not surprised that Lynch was in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Because the battle was coming to an end, Lynch did say before leaving that he would be "waiting for you" in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Aokiji knew very well that Lynch was not a man who talked big. He said that he would wait in the Sabaody Archipelago for them to try to catch him again, and he would never run away.
But the Navy Headquarters was already overwhelmed with the harassment from the pirates who were secretly plotting, so how could it have extra troops to take care of the Sabaody Archipelago? For the time being, it did not have the strength to deal with Lynch.
However, Lynch would actually suppress the pirates who took advantage of the chaos and disrupted the order in the chaotic Sabaody Archipelago...
“I was underestimated.”
Aokiji said calmly, returning the information to his subordinates, and walked back to the warship with his trouser pockets filled. "Let's go."
——Suppressing pirates is actually helping the navy? ——I have a grudge against the navy, so when I see pirates wreaking havoc on the Sabaody Archipelago, instead of suppressing them, I applaud? Lynch doesn't care about these nonsense.
That kid...
That guy...
That man doesn't care what those pirates or our navy think of him.
Aokiji's face was indifferent, as if covered with a layer of ice. He stood on the warship and headed towards the Red Earth Continent.
After going through so much and enduring so much, he was not twisted by hatred, but still retained his original simple, pure, and free heart. How terrifying...
～～～～～～～～～～～ 〖Marijoa, Pangu City——〗
Hall of Power
A bald old man with glasses, wearing a loose kimono and holding a long sword, pushed the door open and walked in. The other four Five Elders who were pouring tea and chatting looked over and asked, "How's Cyborg going?"
"It's not a side effect of the Advent Fruit. At least it's not that terrible."
The old man in kimono sat on the sofa and rubbed his brows tiredly. "His vitality has completely dried up. He won't live long."
His words made the other four Elders silent. Even the will of Lord Yimu failed to suppress that Lin Qi? Didn't that kid just get out of prison? Even if the domineering power can maintain a certain strength, his physical strength shouldn't be that strong... In order to be foolproof, they sent out Steel Bone and gave him the Fruit of Advent as the final trump card, but in the end, Lin Qi still escaped from the prison.
Not only did he escape from the prison, he also fought his way to Marinford, and in front of the whole world, he threw Cyborg to Warring States like a dead dog.
Not only did he severely humiliate their World Government, but he also worked with Whitebeard to first kill Akainu and then kill Sengoku.
Lynch...
This name, at this moment, really seemed to have an invisible deterrent force, so much so that the Five Elders were reluctant to pronounce it out loud easily.
They finally understood why Lord Yim, who had always been a carefree and unconcerned person, had specifically requested to capture Lynch alive.
Once upon a time, they thought that it was only because Lynch had a unique ability to seize devil fruits that made Lord Im a little interested.
But now I suddenly realized that it seemed that Lin Qi himself...
Looking at the entire ocean and throughout the long river of history, among those powerful men and overlords who are like the quicksand of the four seas, Lynch is also one of the few people who stand out and shine brightly.
"The Pirate Queen is not only alive, but she still has the power of the Medusa Devil Fruit."
The Five Elders wearing judge hats broke the strange silence, "Lord Yim should have turned off the light for her back then..."
"This is probably why Lord Yimu didn't kill Lynch in the past ten years."
The Five Elders with long golden hair and beard said calmly, "Lin Qi's truly special power saved the empress who was extinguished. That is what Lord Yimu must obtain..."
"How come?" The bearded Five Elders snorted, "Cyborg is dead, Sengoku is dead, Akainu is dead, Zephyr is disabled, and Garp is on the verge of collapse. Only Aokiji and Kizaru are left. They have had strange tempers throughout their lives, so they can only be considered half. Even if we want to recreate the ambush on Crown Island, we can't get four people together! Now, unless we ask Lord Im to come out in person--"
"That's not necessary."
The old man in kimono wiped his glasses and put them back on, saying calmly, "There is no need for Lord Yimu to look for him, Lin Qi will find Lord Yimu himself.
"After seeing the vastness of the world, how long can a strong man like him endure on that small ocean?"
Having said that, the other Five Elders reminded: "Cyborg is not dead yet."
"Soon." The old man in kimono said, holding the long sword, "Maybe he is dead now."
～～～～～～～～～～～ 〖Red Soil Continent, Red Port——〗
Not far from the elevator that frequently takes off and lands, the port cleared out an area and built a temporary naval headquarters base.
At the entrance of the temporary headquarters, Aokiji stepped onto the red soil shore and looked up. A ray of golden light flashed over from the sea in the distance, flashed above his head, and turned into the figure of Kizaru and fell beside him.
"Phew, a bunch of low-level pirates, it's really troublesome to deal with them~~"
Kizaru loosened his tie, looking tired, but still in that nonchalant attitude.
The marshal died, Akainu died, and only Borsalino and himself were left among the three admirals. The banner of justice looked shaky. Even Kizaru, who usually slacked off, was running around tirelessly, re-establishing the dignity of the navy and deterring the villains... Aokiji couldn't help but feel complicated and touched. He reached out and patted Kizaru on the back, "Let's go, and send Mr. Kong off for the last time."
"Ah!" Kizaru staggered into the temporary headquarters with Aokiji.
Wherever the two men went, the marines immediately stopped, made way, and saluted and watched them go with the greatest spirit for the two admirals who stood firm and worked hard for justice.
Aokiji and Kizaru also nodded in return.
Although this battle at the top dealt a heavy blow to their navy, it also seemed to have made the soldiers who remained in the ruins more resilient in their belief in justice.
Everyone was working day and night to regroup...
Aokiji withdrew his gaze and pushed the door open with Kizaru to enter the room where General Sora was recuperating.
The room was full of people, including Zephyr, Vice Admiral Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, Gion and Kake who were wounded but persisted, and the surviving elite vice admirals such as Flying Squirrel... Seeing them come in, everyone in the room saluted slightly, and Aokiji and Kizaru also raised their hands to salute back. It had been many years, and it seemed that this feeling of everyone being united for the justice of the navy had not been felt so strongly for many years.
Even Steel Bone, who was emaciated and dying on the bed, couldn't help feeling relieved when he saw this scene in the room.
His dry and cracked lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but his breath was weak and his voice was unclear.
Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help but have red eyes. Garp had no expression on his face, but just clenched his teeth tightly. Vice Admirals Gion, Kake and others looked solemn and the atmosphere was depressing. Aokiji's face was slightly gloomy, but Kizaru still looked nonchalant. If Zephyr hadn't held him with one hand, he might have wanted to complain to Cyborg that his workload was a bit heavy recently...
"Mr. Kong has something to say~" Kizaru said.
"Kong, what do you want to say?" He leaned close to Ganggu's barely breathing mouth and nose, listening to his last words.
"You...he..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Cyborg muttered to himself, his eyes a little blurry, his memory and reality confused, in the haze he seemed to have returned to that day, the battle in front of the big prison...
Bang! The shriveled, corpse-like steel bone was thrown to the ground.
"This thing looks like a weird way no matter how you look at it!"
Above Lynch’s head, the dark soul’s eyes were circled with golden lines. It muttered to itself for a while, then retreated back into the body like smoke.
He opened his eyes and was about to leave when a hand as dry as a bone grabbed his foot.
Lin Qi lowered his head, "Don't try to touch me, even if I don't do anything, you'll be dead soon after taking drugs! I've given you a few more days of life, you big bad guy who made the decision to arrest me, that's pretty considerate, right?"
"You...you want to...retaliate against the Navy, the World Government...right..."
The steel skeleton's eye sockets were sunken, making his eyeballs look particularly large. He stared at Lin Qi with his eyes fixed, "Because you hate... us..."
"Revenge? Thinking about that kind of thing all day long is too dark."
Lin Qi carried the golden iron rod and looked up at the sky, saying, "The navy is not worthy of my revenge! As for me, I didn't have any special goals when I came to this world, but after this time, my thoughts became clear all of a sudden. Hehehe..."
The pair of pupils with light golden lines looked out to the distant sea, passing through the sea areas, as if looking at the ancient city on the red earth continent, and their eyes met those of the ripple-like double pupils.
Yim!
"..." Gang Gu Kong was still staring at him blankly. He saw Lin Qi quickly squatted down and grabbed his shoulders. "But, although that's what I said, don't expect me to let you go this time."
"Who made this happen just in time?"
Lin Qi carried the dead steel bone like a dead dog and walked away. "With such a big party going on, I can kill one or two of his generals to vent my anger. This is not too much, right? Hahahahaha..."
…
"Mr. Kong!" "General!" "Kong!" "Cyborg!"...
The calls dragged Cyborg's consciousness back to normal. He looked at the faces swaying in front of him: Aokiji, Kizaru, Tsuru, Garp... and other juniors, the future pillars of the navy.
In my mind, I recalled the scene in front of the prison, when Lin Qi pointed to the sky and fought against the strange phenomenon that changed the color of the earth and the sky...
Cyborg's face suddenly turned much redder, and a light appeared in his eyes. He forced himself to grab Zefa's only remaining hand, staring at him and said hoarsely: "Remember... listen to me, don't go find Lin Qi... He... He won't retaliate again... You have to conserve your strength, don't go find him... You can't beat him..."
"Cyborg!!"
There was a mournful cry in the room, and the army commander's steel-boned, skinny hand let go of Zefa, who fell limply to the side of the bed and died completely.
The sailors bowed their heads slightly, their faces heavy with sorrow, and mourned silently.
～～～～～～～～～～～ 〖Chabaodi Archipelago——〗
The once bustling and lively Chambord Park now looked like a disaster scene in a doomsday movie, with the ground in ruins and some houses still on fire.
A group of evil forces such as pirates, gangsters, and human traffickers are still fighting each other and competing for goods.
Suddenly, a black line flew from a distance.
"What is that?" A pirate rubbed his eyes.
"It seems to be..." The pirate leader, the "Bloodthirsty Wolf" with a bounty of 87.2 million berries, looked up and said, "A stick?"
Boom! The stick flew from a distance and pierced diagonally between the pirates and gangsters fighting. The gold was wrapped around the two-meter-long black iron rod and sunk seventy to eighty centimeters into the hard bluestone floor.
The golden iron rod was washed quite clean, without much bloody smell left, but in the eyes of these pirates, it seemed to exude endless blood and murderous aura, like a ghost's wand to summon spirits.
"It's Lynch!"
"Lynch is coming!!"
“Run!!!”
Many people thought of the invincible and majestic Ripple Messenger in the battle at the top, and they were so scared that they tried to run away even crawling.
With a thud, the "bloodthirsty wolf" and other pirates knelt on the ground with weak legs, their faces pale, and they muttered to themselves: "It's impossible to run away, it's impossible to run away... Once the spirit-calling stick comes, no one can run away..."
As he spoke, the thugs and pirates who were scrambling to escape in the background had their heads, limbs, and bodies twisted strangely, or pierced with bloody holes, and died rapidly while running.
When 'BIB' walked up to the "bloodthirsty wolf", the mecha's giant hand covered with red flame patterns pressed on his head, and he gently lifted it up, only to find that the man had already been frightened to death on the spot.
Is it because I can't see the specific person, so the fear effect is doubled? "BIB" thought about it, and pulled up the golden iron rod stuck in the ground. Suddenly, I felt something in my heart - at the same time, in other parts of the Sabaody Archipelago, Lynch, who was drinking with Zoro in a deserted bar, also looked in the same direction.
"Yeah, why are they here?" Lynch put down his wine glass.
"Who's here?" Zoro drank a large glass of wine comfortably. There were annoying villains to chop and good wine to drink. Although his wounds had not healed yet, it was really comfortable.
"Lu Bao's parents." Lin Qi clinked glasses.
"Ah?" Zoro was startled.
…
"What's wrong? Are you surprised to see us?"
Dorag fell from the strong wind holding Tulip, and the two walked towards BIB who was carrying a golden iron rod, and threw a stack of newspapers in his hand over, "The latest. Take a look."
"BIB" caught the stack of newspapers and slid out several things from them. They were the latest wanted posters.
"BIB's" narrow eyes were gleaming with light, and without any movement, it had already caught all the flying bounty warrants and placed them on the stack of newspapers in its hand.
The photo at the top shows the real body with flying black hair and six domineering blue-black arms extending from his shoulders, killing everyone on the battlefield...
"Ripple Messenger" Lin Qi, bounty: 5 billion Baileys!
