Chapter 754 As long as you don't make trouble, everything is fine (5800 words)
[Chapter head serialization·The Third Woman's Country 6·"Pirates are attacking! This time it's real!"]
[On the seashore of Long Snake Island, several pirate ships docked, and hundreds of pirates like ants screamed and laughed, brandished their knives and jumped down, rushing to the fishing villages and towns on the island... Faced with the sudden and brutal pirate attack, the villagers shouted and screamed in panic. Not far away, Lasha, who had moved a lounge chair to rest on the deck of the warship, saw this scene, but had no intention of getting up and moving.]——
"But speaking of which, how does Franky eat the Swallow-Swallow Fruit?"
In the Chabaoti Archipelago, on the way to other areas for shopping and purchasing, everyone was a little curious.
Xia Qi had nothing to do, so she just closed her shop and followed along.
The already scarce customers in the bar dispersed in a rush, feeling relieved.
Xia Qi is an intelligence expert and a self-proclaimed fan of the Straw Hat Pirates. She is of course well aware of the information about these pirates. Franky, known as the "Iron Man", is actually a cyborg. Except for the flesh on his back, almost all of his body has been replaced with mechanical structures. After the Battle of Marineford, the bounty was raised from 44 million Baileys to 97 million...
"Although, there seems to be technology that can allow objects to eat devil fruits, it seems to be in the hands of the World Government." Xia Qi said while biting a cigarette.
"Oh?" Usopp opened Franky's abdomen like a small refrigerator, took out a bottle of Coke, and said with a smile, "In that case, can Franky possess two devil fruits at the same time? One for himself, and another for the mechanical structure on his body..."
"Coke, I want some too!" Luffy and Chopper reached out to Franky's refrigerator to get Coke, but Franky and Usopp punched them, "Idiot! These Cokes are not for you!"
What kind of weirdos are they… Cavendish and others looked at them sideways.
Nami spun the golden staff in her hand and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that when Lynch gives others devil fruits, they don't need to be eaten with their mouths."
As an eyewitness who had once had the Thunder Fruit stuffed into her body by Hei Zai's punch, Nami has a say.
"BIB" took out the Swallow-Swallow Fruit chip that had been gathering dust for a long time, walked around behind Franky, and casually pressed it into his body from the back.
Before Franky could even react, he had already become the user of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.
"How is it, any changes?" others asked.
Franky rubbed his head, looked around, and grinned: "If there is any change... probably, now when I see anything, I have a feeling that I can eat it!"
Isn't this the same as Luffy? Usopp, Chopper, Merry and others thought.
Franky's eyes fell on Brook, who was startled. "You don't want to bite me, do you? Mr. Franky, I'm just a bone, not delicious! Yo ho ho ho..."
"More like a pervert," Nami complained.
"Thanks for the compliment." Franky was very proud, and then he smiled, "Well, with this thing, many things can be done more conveniently! Okay, now go buy some materials!"
"Yoho, I also want to buy some items to maintain musical instruments." Brook said leisurely.
Nami waved her hand and said, "We finally made it through a month of hellish training. Everyone will be given one million Baileys. Spend as much as you want!"
"Wow! Nami is awesome!"
"So generous?!"
"Haha..." Robin couldn't help but chuckle, "We still have a lot of gold we brought from Sky Island."
"By the way, speaking of Sky Island... I wonder if the permanent pointer of Gaya Island is sold in Shampoodi."
Franky muttered to himself as the group gradually moved towards other areas of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Even after a month had passed, Lynch's name was still being passed around by word of mouth among the people in the gray areas of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Ripple Messenger, Eight-Armed Demon...
As the son of a devil, he is also a devil! At the same time, he also got the unparalleled Pirate Queen... He is simply the devil among devils, the devil emperor!
Damn, I'm so envious!
On the way through the gray area, it was inevitable to encounter bandits and pirates. However, before Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Cavendish and others could make a move, those people put away their weapons at the speed of light and slid away after seeing the Pirate Queen and the man holding her waist.
Luffy, Zoro and others didn't care, but Cavendish was very jealous of Lynch's invisible power.
How handsome would it be if it were me? It would be so eye-catching and impressive!
But this damn Lin Qi, however, looked nonchalant. He continued to hug women left and right, laughing and joking with the two women all day long... It's really infuriating. Such a nonchalant attitude is really enviable!
"Calm down, calm down..." Marianne tried to comfort him. Their captain was almost burning with jealousy.
…
The "Eight-Armed Devil" has appeared again in the Sabaody Archipelago! This news spread quickly among some groups.
All the pirates, human traffickers, and gangsters on the Sabaody Archipelago... all decided at the same time that they would not even leave the house until they were sure that this man had left!
"Strange, why are the garbage on the island so quiet today?"
In the minds of the officers in the branch base, the Den Den Mushi in their offices used to ring non-stop from morning to night because there were always bastards making trouble all over the Sabaody Archipelago.
Although they were reluctant to admit it, it was true that during the most chaotic period after the Battle of Marineford, if it hadn't been for that hateful Ripple Messenger who suppressed the black forces on the island and stabilized the situation to a certain extent... their navy would probably have completely abandoned the island.
It's not that their navy was afraid of the evil forces on the Sabaody Archipelago, but once the Sabaody Archipelago was completely ruined by those criminals and turned into an island of pirates during that period of time, there would be no need for their navy to restore order here.
"Lieutenant General, this atmosphere..." In the office, the adjutant looked out the window and said nervously, "It reminds me of that person!"
The lieutenant general guarding the base took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat that had appeared on his forehead.
He smiled bitterly, but finally remained silent.
…
The once bustling commercial district has gradually regained order after a brief period of chaos following the Battle of Marineford.
"Why should he..."
On the way to the commercial street, someone happened to be talking about the name whose evil reputation loomed over the sky of the Sabaody Archipelago. I caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye and almost fell to my knees in fright, "Linlinlinlinqi!?"
At the street corner over there, Lynch and others walked out with large and small bags as the mall manager looked on tremblingly.
The most beautiful Pirate Queen in the world is putting a pair of sunglasses on the notorious "Eight-Armed Devil" - the same style as that of her and the Devil's Son couple next to her.
Also traveling with them were Straw Hat Luffy who was hugging a pile of meat and eating non-stop, the pirate hunter Zoro who was drinking with a bottle of wine and laughing, and the Thunder Banshee who was carrying bags full of fashionable clothes... Among these people, you could easily point to a big pirate with a bounty of over 100 million, but now they were strolling around the street together as if they were on a picnic, chatting and laughing freely.
"Why are they in Shampooland again?!"
"Didn't you leave?"
The navy acted quickly. Some marines were already at a nearby street corner, secretly observing Lynch and his group who were shopping.
"Although I guess they entered the New World, I didn't find any records of them passing through Fishman Island..."
"What are these pirates going to do after they go back?"
"You can't just be here for tourism..."
The Marines were extremely worried, but they didn't dare to really surround them.
Let alone the "eight-armed devil" Lynch, even if - well, let alone the "eight-armed devil" Lynch, the Pirate Queen Hancock, the Devil's Son Robin, the Queen's two sisters, the Straw Hat Boy Luffy, the Pirate Hunter Zoro, the Thunder Banshee Nami... even Pikachu. Chopper, who was once regarded as a pet, has a bounty of 100 million Baileys! At any time, he is a supernova-level pirate in the Sabaody Archipelago, and it may be necessary to dispatch a vice admiral-level force to deal with him.
But this "monster" was just licking a marshmallow like a pet among the crowd...
The more unspeakable worry is...
If they accidentally anger the "Eight-Armed Devil" Lynch, the navy, which has not yet recovered, will not be able to withstand his torment!
Marinford, which had been rebuilt as a training base, was not far away. If Lynch went crazy and flew over to fire another shot, who could bear the consequences? Therefore, even if they were just tracking and monitoring Lynch and others from a distance, the marines were under great pressure. They were really trembling with fear and treading on thin ice.
The record of Marshal Sengoku in killing Admiral Akainu is really too scary.
There are also rumors that the so-called death of General Kong Ganggu was actually the result of being seriously injured and dying after being defeated by Lynch.
Killing three top navy fighters in a row, such a brutal pirate is simply unheard of!
Although the "Eight-Armed Devil" does not have the unofficial title of "Pirate King", he has a deterrent power that is more terrifying than just a title and makes most of the navy extremely terrified.
…
"World conscription?"
Nami moved closer to Robin and looked at the newspaper in her hand.
The news headline was enlarged and bolded, clearly introducing a breaking news.
Former Admiral Kizaru was promoted to Navy Marshal, former Admiral Akainu was sacrificed, and only Aokiji was left among the three admirals.
As for the older generation of navy, Sengoku fell, Garp retired, and former admiral Zephyr succeeded him as commander-in-chief of the army, taking charge of the overall situation.
The navy was in a real period of transition and could not select top-level strongmen with sufficient deterrent power to fill the vacancies of the remaining two admirals.
"Is this a formality for the old blind swordsman to take over as the general?"
Lynch said with a smile, looking out at the streets.
A thin layer of frost appeared on the wall at the corner, and a tall figure in a white suit walked out.
"Aokiji?!"
"Admiral!"
Usopp and Chopper immediately hugged each other in fear, and Nami also held the golden staff nervously.
On the other hand, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Cavendish and others did not react much.
There have been huge changes. What happened to them... Aokiji glanced at Luffy and the others, and replied calmly: "Just going through the motions? Is that what you think?"
Lin Qi laughed and said, "Is his name Yisheng or Yixiao?"
"You can ask him yourself next time." Aokiji said.
"What are you doing here?" Hancock scolded, "If you want to fight, fight. If you don't want to fight, get out of here! My patience with you admirals is very limited..."
Snake Princess' voice turned cold.
"It's not important what I want to do, what's important is what you want to do." Aokiji loosened his tie, "You are all big shots who can shake the sea with just a move of your feet... You should have been in the New World, but you suddenly appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago, scaring us. What should we do?"
Robin said, "You are an admiral of the navy. Is it really okay for you to describe yourselves as so weak?"
"There's no point in fussing over words~~"
A lazy voice came from above everyone's head, and a golden light rushed over from a distance.
Amidst the endless golden light, a figure floated, looking down at Lynch, Hancock, and Robin, and said calmly: "After all, facing the three of you, who on the sea has the confidence to say that they can be very strong?"
…
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"It's the new Admiral..."
"Borusalino..."
"After General Aokiji, here comes another big shot..."
The people hiding everywhere, paying attention to the secret forces here, are all very nervous.
"Damn it! What are they doing here?"
"Who do you mean?"
"Of course it's the navy! If they come, what if they piss off Lynch..."
…
"This flattery makes people feel really comfortable."
Lin Qi nodded and suggested, "Since you are so polite, why not be even more polite and give me some seastone to play with?"
"..." Aokiji and Kizaru were both speechless, but Kizaru nodded, "Okay."
Many naval bases have quotas for seastone handcuffs, and some wealthy allied countries don't even lack them.
If Lynch is really determined to get seastone, it would be better to give him some now instead of letting him cause trouble to other branch bases or join the royal family.
"Huh? So easy to talk to?" Lynch said with a smile, "Then how about taking us to Marinford for a stroll? I heard that the reconstruction work there is very good. Using the bloody lessons to urge and train the new generation of the navy, that's a good idea! I don't mind coming to give you some guidance..."
"Forget about the joke." Kizaru said, "The reason I came here is because I don't dare to let you get close to that place again..."
…
"It seems that the eight-armed demon was just taking his women out for a stroll, but he alarmed the two admirals of the navy! It's really scary..."
"What two generals? They are a marshal and a general!"
"But even so, the Admiral of the Navy and Admiral Aokiji did not want to conflict with him..."
"Nonsense, if they clash with a monster like the eight-armed demon now, the navy will definitely be in big trouble."
"Although it's strange for someone who killed the former Admiral and razed the former Marine Headquarters, the eight-armed demon doesn't seem to be interested in targeting the Navy..."
"Huh, the navy? Where was the navy when the island was in chaos? It was Lin Qi who calmed the situation down!"
"That's not true. The reason why this island is in such a mess is because of what the 'Eight-Armed Devil' did in Marinford?"
"Haha, if the Navy hadn't insisted on publicly executing Ace the Fire Fist, would this be the result? I insisted on picking a fight, and ended up getting blamed for it. Who can I blame?"
"And I heard that Lin Qi disappeared a few years ago. In fact, he was captured by the navy..."
…
Others were frightened, but actually both parties involved were in harmony.
Lynch and his friends had no intention of causing trouble, and Aokiji and Kizaru were also very polite.
"I'm quite surprised," Lynch weighed the seastones sent by Kizaru and handed them to Franky, saying as he walked, "I thought it would be you, Kuzan, to be the new admiral of the navy. You couldn't win over Kizaru?"
Akainu could break Aokiji's leg, could Kizaru do the same? Lynch glanced at Aokiji's leg, which was intact.
Aokiji put his hands in his pockets, walked ten meters away on the other side, and said calmly: "I have no objection to Borsalino being the marshal."
Now Lynch remembered that the reason why there was a battle of ice and fire in the comics seemed to be because Aokiji firmly opposed Akainu becoming the marshal.
These two people are incompatible, but now that Akainu is dead and the ambiguous Kizaru has taken over, Aokiji does not have such strong resistance.
"Miss Devil's Child believes that the reason why Kizaru is the marshal instead of you is because of that old man Zephyr."
Lin Qi laughed and said, "Because you, Kuzan, have similar personalities to Zephyr, and Kizaru doesn't care much about him, so after Zephyr has become the commander-in-chief of the entire army, the admiral of the navy cannot be you, Kuzan..."
"is that so?"
Aokiji and Kizaru remained silent on this.
Lin Qi waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll send it here. You two can go back now!"
Kizaru and Aokiji were both speechless.
Nami, Usopp and the others were ashamed. We are pirates, and they are the two top figures in the navy. Why do you act like you are being sent home with gifts?
However, it seems that this is almost the case... Sanji, Zoro and others touched their chins.
Xia Qi couldn't help laughing. She had never seen the admiral or the admiral of the navy act so cowardly when facing a group of pirates.
What she didn't know was the instructions that Cyborg Sora gave to Kizaru and others before his death.
A month later, when Aokiji and Kizaru faced Lynch again, they were even more deeply touched by Cyborg's last words.
In just one short month, Lynch's spirit has become even more unfathomable.
If we say that in the battle a month ago, although Lin Qi was strong, he was able to kill so many enemies because he relied on his unknown means of endurance and could squander his domineering power without any scruples...
So today, one month later, Kizaru and Aokiji both vaguely felt that Lynch seemed to have surpassed him during the initial Battle of Marineford.
Although...
At that time, Lynch had just escaped from a large prison, so he might not be in the best condition...
Although all these factors were within the predictions of Aokiji and the others.
But when they actually saw the changes in Lynch and saw his strength improving to a level they could not have expected, no matter how calm and collected they were, they couldn't help but feel depressed.
Kong Gang's last words once again echoed in their ears: "Remember... listen to me, don't go looking for Lin Qi... he... he won't take revenge anymore... you have to conserve your strength, don't go looking for him... you guys can't beat him..."
No matter how reluctant they were, Aokiji and Kizaru couldn't help but have a thought: It was probably a blessing that Lynch was not determined to be an enemy of their navy.
For their navy.
…
"But I think Kizaru became the admiral because of his military achievements." Sandasonia said with a smile, "In the Battle of Marineford, he looked the most intimidating and majestic with his golden appearance, right?"
Marigrud nodded and said, "The navy that has suffered a heavy blow may also need such a glorious image to become the new marshal."
Sanji and the others thought about it and felt that the ability to have golden light all over the sky was indeed quite cool and could also highlight the navy's banner of justice.
"I'm sure that many people will actively participate in the world conscription campaign because they yearn for 'light', right? The navy is quite resourceful!" Franky laughed, playing with the seastone in his hand. Although he has become the user of the Swallow Swallow Fruit, the mechanical part of his body will not be easily affected by the seastone.
Usopp breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Just now I thought that Lynch would go to the newly built training headquarters in Marinford to teach his Ripple Fist!"
Thinking of Instructor Lin's earnest teachings in the past, Luffy, Zoro and others nodded involuntarily. It seemed that Lynch really didn't mind being an instructor for the navy!
"If they are willing to come to me for help, I don't mind teaching them." Lynch said, "But they obviously don't welcome me. Do I have to curry favor with them? No matter how approachable and amiable I am, it's not to that extent..."
"Haha, that's true."
Nami and the others couldn't help but laugh.
…
"Lab~~"
“Sunny!!”
The group gathered at the beach of Chambord. They were very happy to see the island whale Lab after returning to the Sunny after a long absence.
But happy times are always short.
Little Mary reminded everyone that the flying mirror had already arrived in Visalia and was being studied by some old scientists.
In other words, a new round of practice is about to begin.
"This time, it's not one month, but eleven months." Lin Qi took Meili and stepped into the floor-to-ceiling mirror in Xia Qi's bar, "Let's go back to Jiushe first."
