Chapter 750 Lin's Right Hand (6200 words)
[Chapter Heading Serialization·The Third Woman Country 2·"It doesn't seem to be the navy?"]
[The warship docked at the seaside of Changshe Island. A group of villagers from a small fishing village who came to watch the excitement looked at the five women who jumped onto the shore from the warship one after another, and couldn't help but show curiosity. They... don't seem to look like the navy at all! None of them are wearing uniforms! At this moment, among the five women, the tall woman with glasses suddenly turned her head and looked at the villagers.]——
"Tulip will be the referee for the red team, I'll be the referee for the green team, and Robin will be the referee for the dragon team."
"In the morning, we will have the three-team internal competition, in the afternoon we will have the team battle, and in the evening we will have the final individual ranking competition."
Following Instructor Lynch's orders, Luffy, Zoro, Oyu and others quickly dispersed and gathered into three small circles, like three circular arena areas.
…
Tulip walked towards the Red Team, smiled and tapped Luffy's forehead, "Don't expect your mother to treat you preferentially!"
"Please be strict with him!" Usopp clapped his hands and bowed to Tulip, "He is going to be the Pirate King!"
"Usopp, you care so much about Luffy!" Chopper and Merry were very touched.
"Yohohoho~" Brook twisted Shusui into a knife flower, "Mr. Usopp just wants to increase his chances of winning, right?"
"Has it been discovered?!" Usopp was shocked.
"What! Usopp, you're so despicable!" Chopper and Merry raised their fists angrily.
Luffy held his shoulders and swung his arms, then walked into the arena with a smile, "It doesn't matter! Anyway, who will go first?"
"Yohohoho~ Let me go first!" The Afro Skull walked into the field leisurely and stood in front of Luffy.
…
On the green team side, Lynch stood at the sidelines with his arms folded. He glanced at the five people: Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Franky, and Marian, and asked, "It can be a round-robin system with two people fighting each other, so we have to play 16 games. It can also be an elimination system based on luck of the draw, but if there are five people, some people will get a bye. Which one do you choose?"
"The one with a bye!" Nami was the first to raise her hand.
Franky complained, "You're a naturalist!"
"Hehe, I'm used to it..." Nami stuck out her tongue, retracted her hand, looked at Marianne next to her, and asked with concern, "What about you?"
Marianne said calmly, "I'm fine with either one."
She is really amazing... Before Nami could finish her sigh, she heard Marianne continue: "If you can't beat me, just give up."
Ugh! Nami was speechless.
Marian said, "The fundamental purpose of this training camp is to improve together, right? Not everyone likes to improve their strength in battle... I'm not one of them anyway."
"That's true!" Sanji smiled, loosened his tie, and walked into the field, "But you should be the former type, right, green algae head?"
"I'm the type who is stronger than you even when I'm sleeping." Zoro accepted the challenge, holding the three swords on his waist, slowly walked into the arena, and stood in front of Sanji.
"Oh my!" Franky glared and said, "Is this a showdown?"
The instructor and referee Lin Qi smiled and swung the golden iron rod, "First match, start!"
…
On the Dragon team's side, Cavendish already had a point on the scoreboard for the intra-team match.
Not long after, another point was added.
Well, the points we got from Anne and Amorine, mother and daughter, were a complete crushing victory.
"Do you want to take a break?" asked Robin, the instructor's secretary and referee.
"No need!" Cavendish confidently swung the rapier in his hand into a sword flower and pointed it at the one-armed young man Xiangyun.
The latter was about to accept the challenge, but A-Yu patted him on the shoulder and went on stage with a smile.
"Ah." Cavendish remembered that although this girl was young, she seemed to be the black dragon, a powerful mythical beast-type ability user.
The referee couldn't help but laugh secretly. Cavendish had "bullied" two girls in a row, which must have made the Queen of the Kingdom of Flowers unhappy.
…
"Luffy wins."
The skeleton with an Afro stuck his butt out and fell to the ground.
Usopp, Chopper, and Merry all looked shocked. "You lost so soon?! You were so confident, how long did you think you could last?"
Brook got up and said indignantly: "It's so easy to say, this is Mr. Luffy, come up and try it?"
"Let's try it!" Usopp pushed Chopper up.
"So I'm the one who's going to try it?!" Chopper staggered a few steps, turned back and yelled at Usopp with his fangs.
"Hehe." Mary was amused and laughed secretly.
…
"Sky Thunder Grid!"
Crack, crack! With Nami's cry, hundreds of lightning bolts as thick as washbasins fell down like a group of dancing snakes.
No matter how fast Sanji was, he couldn't avoid the large-scale lightning. He was soon electrocuted so hard that his bones were flashing and he was emitting burnt heat all over.
Marian commented: "Since you are unwilling to attack women, why not just give up?"
"So you're an idiot!" Franky chuckled.
“Ahem…” Sanji, who had fallen to the ground, exhaled a puff of white smoke. Electric arcs appeared on his body and he twitched, “Franky…if you have the guts…you come and try…”
Franky waved his hands, "Forget it! I don't know Armament Haki, I don't have Seastone, and my body is covered in metal. How can I defeat the Thunder Fruit? I'm a pervert, not a fool!"
"I'll take a break first." Nami landed next to the referee in a flash of lightning, sticking out her tongue and saying, "Sanji is simply a monster. It took him so long to fall down... I'm almost exhausted."
It would be more terrifying if you just keep on shocking without any mercy, okay... Zoro, Franky and Marian thought at the same time.
…
Ayu had one more point in her name.
Cavendish was beaten unconscious and lay in the pit with his eyes rolled back.
The black dragon scales on A-Yu's arms faded away, and the sharp dragon claws turned back into the girl's slender, white hands.
"What should he do next?" Xiangyun scratched his head.
"This..." Anne and Amorine felt something was wrong at the same time. As expected, the unconscious Cavendish rolled over with gravel on his body and stood up from the pit like a zombie, with a devilish "innocent" smile on his face. "Next, it's my turn! Hehehe... Let's try 'Sickle Weasel'!"
Soon, petals appeared on the scoreboard and Robin added a point under Cavendish's name.
…
Nearing noon, the team competitions came to an end one after another and the results came out one after another.
…
Red Team
No matter how strict the referee Tulip is, the person with the highest points among the five people in this team is undoubtedly Luffy, who has won all four points.
The second place is tied by Chopper and Brook.
Apart from being unable to defeat Luffy and being tricked by Usopp, Chopper defeated Merry with the strong physical strength developed from his animal system, and defeated Skull Brook with his good physical skills.
After Brook lost to Luffy and Chopper in succession, he was so old that he was just a bag of bones, but he would not be cheated of a single point by the king of liars Usopp. As the King of Souls, he was naturally suppressed by the ghostly life Merry and easily won a point.
Therefore, the members who will represent the Red Team in the team battle in the afternoon are Luffy, Chopper and Brook.
Usopp, who only got one point, and Merry, who got a zero, squatted in the corner with tears in their eyes and resentful expressions.
…
As for the Green Team——
Zoro scored all four points easily.
Marianne's point was given for free, and Marianne gave up on the spot as she said.
Second place, Nami.
She has the natural advantage of the Thunder Fruit. Except for the loss to Zoro, she took the other three points with a smile.
Sanji lost to Zoro. As he adhered to the way of chivalry, it was impossible for him to score points against Nami and Marian. So he risked his life to score a point against the pervert Franky and successfully saved his face.
Franky relied on his perverted spirit and threw out a strong right punch before Marian's hypnotic paint was fully unleashed. He breathed a sigh of relief after getting a point, and then was trampled again by the Knight Sanji.
However, in this way, Marian, Sanji and Franky from the green team all had one point and were tied for last place.
Finally, Sanji was chosen as the third person for the afternoon team battle.
Originally, they wanted to choose Marian, because they always felt that... this girl's ability could easily defeat Luffy, the top player of the Red Team and the stupid one.
However, it was rejected by Chief Sauron.
…
The rest is the Dragon Team——
When Lynch walked over, Robin and the others had just finished.
He glanced at the scoreboard behind him, and the result was as expected, with Anne and Amorine at the bottom, while Ayu, Xiangyun and Cavendish advanced to participate in the afternoon team battle.
At this time, Hancock led a team of national defenders from Women's Island and brought a sumptuous lunch, almost a mountain of meat, and cartloads of fruits and vegetables.
The nutrient-rich and material-rich waters of the doldrums are evident.
Otherwise, this place would not be called the nest of sea kings - the barren sea area cannot support these super-large monsters.
After playing for a whole morning, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Cavendish and the others ate more ferociously than before. They exchanged glances while eating, as if there was an electric current colliding - snap! snap! snap! snap! Nami really gave everyone an electric shock. Luffy didn't feel anything, Sanji was so happy that he was fuming. Zoro and Cavendish were so angry that they wanted to draw their swords and chop Nami twice. Nami said innocently: "Who told you to make the atmosphere so tense? I was careless and my hand slipped..."
"Hahaha!" Usopp laughed in a jolly way, and ate as much as he could with all his might. "I want to become stronger too! Otherwise, I might not even be able to beat Merry next time!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Qi waved his hand, pulled the depressed little boat elf into his hand, and played with it casually like an object, "Are you unhappy?"
"I'm a little sad..." Meili raised her little face, her eyes watery under her sailor hood, and said aggrievedly, "The Mirror-Mirror Fruit that Hei gave me is obviously very powerful... Am I too weak?"
Lin Qi said: "Then try your best to become stronger!"
"Yeah!" Mary nodded vigorously.
Lynch pinched the dark stand energy into a small ball like a jelly bean.
Mary stared at the black sugar beans in Lynch's palm. She instinctively felt a little greedy and couldn't help but stretch out her little hand to grab them.
"Snacks, do you want some?" Lin Qi put the black sugar beans close to Meili's mouth and then took them away, "I'll go out for a walk with Brother Hei later."
"Okay, okay!" Mary nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Robin couldn't help but smile when he saw him teasing Mary like a child.
Hancock just stared at her for a while longer, and Tulip joked, "Want to have a baby?"
Hancock was stunned for a moment before she realized that Tulip was talking about her. She remembered Tulip's big belly when she was pregnant with Luffy, and shook her head repeatedly, "I don't want it! Just give birth to Robin if you want."
Robin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why was this happening?
…
In the afternoon, the team competition of the Nine Snakes First Martial Arts Tournament kicked off with a shocking opening match between Luffy and Zoro.
The duel between the martial artist and the great swordsman was fierce and intense, with fist shadows weaving like a web, sword lights flashing like lightning, and domineering collisions and sword energy running wild, which was very exciting.
The crowd opened up the venue, clearing more than a hundred meters so that the two of them could fully display their skills.
"call!"
Zoro swung his pitch-black sword horizontally, but missed, and a row of giant trees behind him were cut in half.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zoro, who was biting the Wado Ichimonji, immediately looked up and saw Luffy leaping into the air. He immediately made an upward slash, with sword energy soaring into the sky - but he missed again.
Snap! Snap! There were crisp sounds coming from above my head.
Usopp, Sanji, Nami and the others looked up and said in surprise: "Moon Walk? When did Luffy learn Moon Walk?"
"He is indeed very suitable for Brother Lin Qi's Lily Wave Fist." Ah Yu sighed, "He is making rapid progress."
"Zoro, what's your next move? Spear Random Attack: Storm!"
In mid-air, Luffy, who was moon-stepping, roared and threw dense black fists at Zoro below...
Boom, dust filled the sky and sword shadows flew.
In the end, Instructor Lynch came out and announced that Luso and the other player were tied.
It's not that they can't decide the winner, but firstly, this is not a fight of life and death. Secondly, even if the two of them want to fight to the death, it would take who knows how many days and nights they would have to fight given their similar strengths.
The team competition continues...
Boom! In the lightning, Brook was electrocuted until his skeleton was - well, only his skeleton was left.
The afro is steaming, Brook vs. Nami, Brook is defeated.
Marian, who did not participate in the team battle, poked Brooke's skull face and found that it was all electric.
"Wow, Miss Nami is amazing!" Brook said while lying on the ground, "The blue one..."
Boom!!!!
Another, thicker bolt of lightning fell from the sky, brushing past the stunned Marian and drowning Brooke.
Nami, who was not far away, pointed at her ears and said angrily, "The 'Heart Net' can hear what you are mumbling!"
Marian looked at the charred, smoking skeleton in the pit... Now there was no movement at all. Could it be that it was electrocuted? No. Marian pursed her lips and suddenly saw a green ghost-like thing floating out of the mouth of the afro skull. Well, it was a ghost in the shape of an afro skull.
"I'm so scared! Why is there a dead skeleton on the ground?" the miserable green ghost said in surprise, "Oh, it turns out to be me, yoho, yohoho..."
Usopp, who was not far away, was stunned. He looked at the skeleton in the pit and the ghost of the will-o'-the-wisp. "Brook, you can do this?! - Hey, wait, have you seen this kind of ghost somewhere before?"
"That's right..." Chopper also nodded solemnly.
"Are you talking about me?"
Next to them, a dark ghost floated over.
Usopp and Chopper slapped their palms and said in surprise: "Yes, it is - Ah ghost!!!"
Chopper’s antlers were almost blown off in fright, and he ran away tumbling, “It’s my turn, bye Usopp!”
"Goodbye, you are so disloyal!" Usopp yelled with tears in his eyes, and after calming down, he said calmly, "But now I remember, this dark ghost is Lynch..." He turned around and saw the dark ghost opened a pair of golden eyes, and he was so scared that the hair on his body stood up. The lower half of the dark ghost slowly floated out from the top of Lynch's body like smoke.
Usopp asked with a stiff neck: "Lin, Lin, Linqi...why, why, why does the appearance of the soul differ from the body?"
Brook even copied the look of the Afro Skull, so why are you different?
"Oh, that's fine too." The soul with dark golden pupils shook and its appearance changed into that of Lin Qi, who was two meters forty-nine tall, although it was still dark.
A green skull ghost floated over, "Yohoho, Mr. Lin Qi's attainments in the soul are also amazing!"
The dark soul body flashed again and turned back into the ordinary earthling physique of Lynch's previous life. He stretched and discussed his experience in soul power with the "King of Souls" with great interest.
Soon, Marianne joined the discussion.
Usopp was confused as he listened, and with a head full of question marks he turned back to watch the team battle.
Wait a minute!
Usopp stomped his feet.
If it's a time like this, maybe it's possible... Usopp had a smirk on his face and ran towards Luffy and Zoro who were resting over there.
…
In the team competition, the red team lost to the green team.
First, Luffy and Zoro are tied.
Then, in the second game, Brook lost to Nami.
In the third game, Chopper lost to Sanji again.
The Green Team then went on to lose to the Dragon Team.
Zoro was no match for the black dragon Oyu, Nami was no match for Cavendish, and although Sanji narrowly defeated Xiangyun, it was of no avail...
At this time, Zoro and the others realized very clearly that although there were many pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions among them, the strongest one among the students was probably the young queen of the Kingdom of Flowers! "Very good, I also want to try the feat of slaying a dragon that Ryoma had done before." Zoro aroused his fighting spirit.
Sanji went up and kicked him, "Cut off your head, idiot! I'm going to kick you to death first!!!"
"It's just a saying! Idiot eyebrow curler!"
"What did you say? You idiot bastard!"
"You horny cook! You deserve to be chopped off, don't you?!"
The two angry enemies were about to fight again. Nami sighed speechlessly and shook her head.
But suddenly, a cold wind came and extinguished most of the flames on Sanji's feet.
“Could it be——”
Robin was startled at first, thinking that it was the Navy Admiral Aokiji who came to find him. When he looked in the direction where the cold wind came from, he found that it was Lynch's work.
Next to the miserable green skeleton ghost stood the dark soul of Lynch, and around him was lingering a visible chill, as if it was blowing from the underworld.
"It's a pity that this island has already entered autumn..." Amorin muttered, "If it was still hot a few days ago, it would be much cooler..."
This is more than just a little cooler!
Brook looked at the dark soul in surprise. They had only communicated for a while, but Mr. Lynch had mastered the cold air blowing from the underworld faster than him, the user of the underworld fruit! Of course, blowing from the underworld was just a metaphor used by Brook.
The fact is just as Lynch said before, in this pirate world, the soul body naturally comes with the "ice attribute".
Well, ghost + ice, dual system...
Maybe we can add a Psychic system? After all, it can perform hypnotic abilities.
"Don't you need to worry about that?" Marian pointed to the side, "Lynch, they are moving your body..."
Brooke said: "Mr. Lynch's body is as strong as steel. Even if he has no soul in his body, he will not be--" The skull with the afro looked back and immediately gasped, stunned.
I saw that including Luffy who was instigated to come, and Usopp who was determined to tease the empty body of Instructor Lynch, the two were suppressed by Lynch's body and sat under his buttocks.
Usopp kept slapping the ground as if begging for mercy, and said to Lynch's dark soul with tears in his eyes: "This doesn't make sense! Why would your body hit people when you clearly have no soul!"
Lin Qi's soul said: "Muscle memory, muscle memory..."
"It's really amazing." Luffy's eyes were full of shock. The Lynch on top of him was just a soulless body that acted on instinct and conditioned reflex, yet he was still so strong!
"Brook, continue to practice the Ripple Fist to increase the soul power of the Yomiuri Fruit..."
The dark soul saw that Marian was rubbing her arms because of the cold, so he took back the coldness flowing from his body. Before leaving, he turned his head, his golden-edged eyes looked at the green skeleton ghost, and smiled slightly, "Perhaps, you can awaken that power!"
"That power?" Brooke wondered, and the dark soul had returned to Lynch's body.
Lynch opened his eyes, stood up, pulled Luffy and Usopp up, clapped his hands and said, "Hurry up and go to the game, you still have to play against Team Dragon. There is also an individual match in the evening..."
…
evening!
On Ruskaina Island, the sunset was as blazing as fire. The figures fighting fiercely in the empty crowd appeared blurred, pulling out long and thin shadows that kept intertwining and separating on the ground.
The sky is getting darker...
Bang! Luffy flew backwards and crashed into Tulip's arms, his forehead bleeding and he had fainted.
On the opposite side, the black dragon claw slowly lowered. A Yu gasped, his body swayed, and was caught by Robin, leaning on Robin's shoulder.
"Fortunately, I am a mythical beast, with greater physical strength and recovery ability..." Ayu said quietly.
At this point, the individual competition is completely over.
The Queen of the Flower Kingdom, Black Dragon Ayu ranks first!
Luffy and Zoro tied for second place...
"I haven't seen you for just a few days, and you've changed a lot."
Suddenly, the exhausted crowd heard a familiar sound coming from the nearby hillside.
Zoro, Sanji, Nami and the others, as well as Chopper who was treating everyone's injuries, all looked over there and asked in surprise, "Rayleigh?"
In the night, the figure walking up the hillside was none other than the Pirate King's right hand, Pluto Rayleigh! Behind Rayleigh, Lynch walked up with his arms folded, followed by his pitch-black armor and the ship elf Merry sitting on his shoulders.
"Rayleigh?!" Luffy woke up and was surprised to see Rayleigh suddenly appear. "Why are you here?"
Lin Qi crossed his arms, glanced at the confused Zoro, and said with a smile: "From today on, Rayleigh is the deputy instructor of this training camp, that is, 'Instructor Lin's right hand'."
Lei Li was speechless. I'm already retired, but you're still dragging me here to serve as a soldier. That's fine. But at my age, you're taking advantage of me?
