Chapter 755: Golden Badge, Whisper on the Rooftop

[Series at the beginning of the chapter · The Third Woman's Country 7 · "Chopping Melons and Vegetables"] [Before the pirates had time to rob many villagers, they saw several figures slowly approaching from the end of the village road. The tall woman in the middle was surrounded by a dark aura, and she only had a dead branch in her hand, but it was like a sharp knife. No one could stop her wherever she went. The pirates were instantly frightened and fled in panic.]——

"Oh? Do you think Zoro has the qualifications of Conqueror Haki?"

Rayleigh paused for a moment as he brought the glass of wine to his lips.

The setting sun was blood red, and at dusk, on the roof of the Nine Snakes Palace, Lynch, Tulip and Rayleigh sat on the ground very casually, talking about all sorts of things.

The new naval headquarters moved to the New World...

The naval training headquarters built on the ruins of Marinford...

There are conscription activities around the world, and two vacancies for generals are waiting...

The attitudes of Kizaru and Aokiji whom we met in the Sabaody Archipelago...

It seems that the Navy has no intention of fighting Lynch to the death, but is determined to endure humiliation and quietly cultivate new forces.

When talking about those people who were gathered here by Lynch for intensive special training, it is inevitable to involve the three people's respective opinions on them.

The Nine Snakes Castle was bustling with activity. The men from the outer seas, who were already favored by the Nine Snakes women, brought many new things from the Sabaody Archipelago. Now they were surrounded by a bunch of beautiful women... well, beautiful women who could break trees and rocks with one punch. If it weren't for Princess Robin to calm the situation, I'm afraid Luffy, Zoro, Cavendish and others would have been eaten alive by the Nine Snakes women who were eager to try with their eyes shining.

Of course, Sanji felt very aggrieved about this. He would have loved to be eaten cleanly...

Among the students, Tulip is undoubtedly the most satisfied with her own son Luffy; the second is the little girl, the Queen of the Flower Country, Ayu, who is also very good. Of course, this is in addition to the discussion of Instructor Lin and Secretary Robin...

Rayleigh likes everyone, but of course he likes Luffy wearing a straw hat especially. More than 20 days of experience as a deputy instructor is enough for him to get to know these young guys better, especially Luffy, who is highly anticipated by Shanks.

However, Lynch pointed out that the young three-sword swordsman might have that kind of qualification.

In response, Rayleigh quipped, "You yourself didn't have such qualifications, how can you tell whether others have them?"

Tulip smiled and said, "If he continues to practice your Ripple Fist, Lynch, he may indeed be able to awaken the Conqueror's Haki like you."

The road has already been paved by the pioneer Lynch, and with Lynch's personal guidance, the difficulty for Zoro and others to awaken the Conqueror's Haki through practicing the Ripple Fist is naturally much lower than it was for Lynch himself.

Lin Qi didn't mind that the newcomers had an easier time than him. Isn't this what the pioneer wanted to see? Besides, he developed the Ripple Fist based on the Eight Punch Fist.

"Whether I can see it or not is not the point, but I will say one thing, which is enough to prove that Zoro has the qualifications of Conqueror's Haki - you will definitely admit it."

As the two of them watched, Lynch pointed at Pluto Rayleigh and laughed, "Don't you think that if Luffy is like Roger, then Zoro is very similar to Rayleigh?

“Roger can hear the voices of all things, and Luffy can hear the voices of all things, Roger has the Conqueror Haki, and Luffy also has the Conqueror Haki, Roger is the Pirate King, and Luffy - I think we all think and support that this kid can realize his dream of becoming the Pirate King.

"And what about Zoro standing next to Luffy? Rayleigh uses a knife, and he also uses a knife. Rayleigh is the right hand of the Pirate King, and he will be one too. So by the same token, since Rayleigh has Conqueror Haki, Zoro must also have it..."

Tulip laughed and shook her head, then stretched out a finger and pushed Lynch's head. The brat was getting more and more ridiculous.

Is this "common sense"? Rayleigh was just stunned for a moment, then he laughed heartily. It was unclear whether he agreed with Lynch's "reasoning" or simply thought this angle was interesting.

Lynch thought that the "original time and space" would be more similar, because Zoro would have a knife on his left eye, which would perfectly replicate the appearance of your Pluto Rayleigh.

"The Pirate King's right hand?" Rayleigh raised his head to drink, and chuckled, "Is it Zoro? I thought it was you!"

"Oh?" Lin Qi laughed, "I don't mind this kind of thing. However, the left and right hands should be of similar size. If you only have a right hand that is many times bigger than your left hand and your body, wouldn't that make you a monster?"

Tulip glared at Lynch and Reilly laughed.

At this moment, a black dragon flew out of the Nine Snakes Castle, transformed into Ayu and landed on the roof, while Robin jumped off her.

"What are you talking about?" Robin walked over to Lynch and sat down with a smile.

Tulip smiled and said a few words to her. Robin laughed dumbly and shook his head, "Right-hand man? I can't compare with Instructor Lin. Even if ten of me were added together, we still can't be compared with him."

"Good licking!" Lin Qi raised his glass and said with a smile, "Please enjoy the wine!"

Robin glanced at him and rubbed his face with his hands.

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Flowers, Ayu, was standing by and saw Brother Lin Qi and Sister Robin whispering to each other, laughing and playing without any sense of distance. She couldn't help but envy their sincere feelings for each other.

"By the way, Brother Lynch, I won't go to Visalia." Ayu stood aside and said with a smile, "I've been away from the Kingdom of Flowers for a month, and the memorials for advice are almost piling up. Anyway, I've already mastered the Ripple Fist, so even if we're not together, I'll practice hard. - Of course, if there is a competition at the end of each month, I will come to participate. I don't really want to lose to Luffy and Zoro."

Lynch nodded and said, "It's okay. Take care of yourself."

"By the way, speaking of this," Robin took out a small box and smiled, "Franky made some handy little props."

"I have one too~" Ah Yu smiled and shook the small thing in her hand. It was a small device the size of a badge with gold decoration on the surface.

Robin took out the box and opened it, revealing several gold badges of the same style.

Lynch, Tulip, and Rayleigh each picked up one and found it was a flip-top device. When they opened it, they found a small mirror inside the badge.

"Mirror?" Rayleigh touched his chin.

Tulip noticed that Ayu was exchanging glances with Robin with a smile in her eyes, as if she was paying attention to Lynch's reaction.

"I think I understand."

Lin Qi couldn't help but laugh. "Merry has left a mirror in Shaqi's bar in Shampoodi, the Nine Snakes Palace, and now the Visalia Sky Island. They are all free to enter and exit, which is equivalent to three teleportation points. But there are so many of us. If we disperse, some people will practice on the Trial Island (Ruskaina Island), some will practice on the Sky Island, and some will practice in Shampoodi. When we want to enter and exit the mirror world, it is inevitable that Merry will not be able to take care of everyone..."

"So, if I'm not mistaken, it was Mary who made the fourth mirror, then broke it into pieces and gave each person a small piece, which Franky made into this little thing."

Lynch was playing with the golden badge with a small mirror inside. "At the same time, Mary took the 'reverse' of these mirror fragments off the wall of the mirror world and kept them with her at all times. In this way, no matter who wants to enter or leave the mirror world, they only need to speak to the golden badge mirror in their hands, and you will know in time - right, Mary?"

Lynch asked with a smile as he looked at the small mirror inside the golden badge in his hand.

Immediately, a series of laughters could be heard from inside the mirror. Luffy, Nami, Chopper, and of course, Merry exclaimed, "Brother Hei! You are so awesome!"

Robin raised an eyebrow at Ayu with an expression that said "I told you so".

Ah Yu opened her mouth wide and looked at Lin Qi in disbelief. Obviously, BIB hadn't "tipped off" Lin Qi, so he should have been unaware of it. How could he have guessed it so quickly?

"When it comes to devil fruits, Lynch really has no rivals..." From the other side of the mirror of the golden badge, Sanji and others exclaimed.

If Hancock heard this, he would definitely roll his eyes. You know nothing about his strengths.

However, what happened to Hancock is currently difficult for even Robin to replicate, let alone Luffy, Nami, and the others...

It was getting late, a bonfire was lit in Nine Snakes Castle, and the sound of Brooke's piano and the laughter and singing of the crowd could be heard.

“Do you believe in gravity?”

Lynch propped up one leg and lay casually on the roof of the palace. Robin and Hancock also lay side by side, one on the left and one on the right, looking at the starry sky together.

"Do you think our meeting is meaningful?"

Hearing his sudden words, both of them turned their heads to look at him.

Lin Qi laughed and said, “When I look back at the lines I recited at the beginning, it seems like they really have a gravitational pull.”

He raised his finger and moved it across the starry sky, drawing two parallel lines as if marking a great route, and then pointed his finger at one of the bright stars.

"More than a dozen or twenty years ago, our first stop on the Grand Line was the Future Kingdom on the Mechanical Island. We got Dr. Vegapunk's research data, which is now being studied eagerly by Franky. The second stop is Momoiro Island, where Eva developed a set of offensive dishes based on the Hormone Fruit. Sanji should be very interested. The third stop is the Boeing Islands, where there are energy-rich foods everywhere, which is very suitable as a canteen during training. There are also exotic flowers and rare seeds everywhere, which can also be used as an ammunition depot for the sniper Usopp...

"Then, by some strange coincidence, we were brought to the Nine Snake Island by the Windless Brigade... Now, we are practicing together here. And the medical knowledge of the Torino Kingdom in the South Sea later helped Chopper..."

Hancock interrupted, "What did you want to say?"

She asked doubtfully, "Are you saying that everything is predetermined and you should be with these people?"

Robin smiled without saying anything, just moved over, leaned on Lynch's side, and looked up at the outline of his face under the starry night.

"Is it destined? Do you think I am such a negative and pessimistic person?"

With a crisp sound, Lynch slapped Hancock casually, and it was quite bouncy.

He smiled and said, "Of course not! The Mechanical Island is indeed at the entrance of the Grand Route, and it was just a matter of chance that we would pass by there. The reason why I copied the information on purpose was because I was interested in it. At the same time, I wouldn't mind sending it out to the right person in the future. As for the Peach Color Island and Boeing Islands, they were originally on the route to and from that sea area. We stopped there because we needed to train there to increase our strength.

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

"At that time, the reason why we broke into the Calm Belt to look for the Nine Snake Island was entirely because I was on the flower boat at the time and I wanted to snatch Caesar's gas fruit openly. If I failed to snatch it, it would at most be a fight on the flower boat. If I had snatched it, I would have already made plans to use the gas fruit to withdraw from the Calm Belt and find the Nine Snake Island to hide..."

"What about that Bird Kingdom?" Hancock curled her lips. "It just happens to help your little pet improve his medical skills. Is there such a coincidence?"

Lynch laughed and said, “That’s not a coincidence.”

Hancock looked puzzled. Robin suddenly said through Lynch's body: "At that time, the soldiers on the Nine Snakes ship did not recommend going to the island where the Kingdom of Torino was located..."

"Oh, that's right." Hancock remembered that they seemed to have encountered a strange bird at the beginning, and then Lynch suggested going to the island to take a look.

Lin Qi smiled mysteriously, "Because I have long known that there is excellent technology there. Weapon technology, and medical knowledge..."

——"Where should we go next?" I asked myself at that time.

——"Magnetic Drum Island." He answered at the time, "I am slightly interested in the Swallow Swallow Fruit!"

Robin leaned over to one side, listening to his steady heartbeat.

“Maybe there really is some kind of fate!”

Lynch pointed his fingers at the stars one by one.

In this world with "dominant luck" - such as Luffy, Blackbeard, Kin'emon, and Momonosuke - it is natural that there is a kind of fate in the world.

"But whether or not to seize this fate is up to us to decide."

Lynch smiled and said, "I destroyed Dr. Vegapunk's information and ignored the medical knowledge of the Bird Kingdom - I'm not a doctor! The Swallow-Swallow Fruit is actually dispensable to me! If I don't dislike it, Luffy can be a pirate or not. I turned around and left. Can they stop me?"

"And..." Robin leaned close to Lynch's ear, bit it lightly, and said to himself, "Back in front of that garbage dump, you could have easily fooled that gang member and tricked him away so that he wouldn't have a conflict."

If he hadn't seen the young man in the dark who couldn't even protect himself, and had preferred to draw the danger to him instead of leading the gang member away to chase him, then he obviously wouldn't have had a good impression of him, let alone chased after him... Then there wouldn't be any story of them together later, Aokiji wouldn't have come to him, and Lynch wouldn't have met Shanks on the sea...

Lin Qi hugged Robin, forehead to forehead, looked into each other's eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister Robin, maybe I was greedy for you the first time I saw you?"

——"Why do you call me Sister Robin?"

——"It's a secret! If you guess it later, don't tell me."

"Yeah, isn't this the walking 79 million?" Robin said, trying not to laugh, "This is the first sentence you said to me."

"It's so different." Lynch said shamelessly.

Robin couldn't help laughing and bit his cheek with her pearly teeth, "You are so naughty."

"What are you guys mumbling about?" Hancock came over and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why can't I understand?"

"We are saying..."

Robin stretched out his hand and pinched Hancock's beautiful cheek, resting his head on Lynch's shoulders and chest, and chuckled, "Hancock, you were almost captured by the Celestial Dragons."

"He just made that up!" Hancock sneered. "What a crap book..."

"What if he didn't write it?" Robin asked with a smile.

Hancock was stunned for a moment, remembering how he was almost kidnapped by human traffickers...

"Should we stay together like this?" Robin asked.

Lin Qi couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is possible."

"Why do you think so much?" Hancock thought Robin was concerned about other people's opinions, and said unhappily, "We are very happy, isn't that enough?"

"Yeah." Robin responded softly, and the flower grew arms, holding Lynch and Hancock together, and the three of them hugged each other tightly. "That's enough."

The three of them lay on the roof of the palace hugging each other, listening to each other's heartbeats and quietly recalling the past.

Robin suddenly looked up, and his two beautiful dark green eyes seemed to be sparkling against the starry sky.

She asked, "When you were arrested, was it also mentioned in the prophecy book?"

"Um?"

Hancock was confused, wondering if Robin's topic was too jumpy. And what prophecy book? Lynch smiled and said, "There really isn't one."

Robin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then soon revealed a happy and relieved smile.

She sat up sideways, leaned forward, and gently pressed her red lips against Lynch's lips. Her long hair fell like silk around Lynch's neck, and the two looked into each other's eyes.

"I love you, Lynch." Robin blinked and said softly, "Bad guy, you tricked me."

Lin Qi also blinked, "Sister Robin, are you considered a grass fan?"

Robin chuckled and punched Lynch in the face angrily, "There's nothing I can do to you."

"You two," Hancock said depressedly, "can you say something I can understand?"

Lynch laughed and pulled her over. The three of them huddled together on the roof. When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest. Why add troubles to yourself? "Hey, Lynch, Robin."

"Brother Hei~~"

"Ms. Empress~~"

Next to the fire party in Nine Snake Castle, Luffy, Franky, Nami, Otama, Marian, Merry, Chopper, Cavendish, Sanji and others were arm in arm, waving at this side from afar, drunken, staggering, laughing, and shouting happily from afar, "Come and have a party together~~!!"
