Chapter 772 Luffy's "Rain" Umbrella
[Chapter Header Serialization·Three Kingdoms 1·"Follow the Direction of the Life Paper"]
[The Dragon Palace has been located on the mainland of Fishman Island. Inside and outside the Dragon Palace, and on and off Fishman Island, there are densely packed fishmen and mermaid residents. Everyone looks up at the blue sky and counts the white clouds, excited and moved. In front of the island, Princess Shirahoshi and Camie, two mermaids, lead the way. At the bottom is a huge hemispherical bubble. Under the sea surface around it are huge sea kings like mountains, and more fishmen and mermaids as dense as stars. Everyone accompanies the entire island to move forward rapidly in the sea area of the doldrums...]——
"ah."
Robin gritted his teeth and cried out softly, frowned slightly, closed his eyes in pain, covered his left ear, and supported Lynch beside him with one hand.
According to her habit over the past ten years, whenever she sees an island, she will send out the Flower Eyes and Ears to investigate before landing.
Can……
There was heavy rain on the island not far ahead.
However, this rainstorm was not a rain of water droplets, but a heavy rain formed by thunder.
Lynch had an expression that said "Are you stupid, baby?" and stared at Robin with a loving look.
"I have unknowingly placed 'spies' on that island..." Robin was slightly embarrassed, tucked the hair beside his ears, and laughed at himself, "Haha."
Lynch remained silent, put his arm around Robin's shoulder and patted him gently.
Feeling the pity and concern revealed in his words, Robin raised his hand and held Lynch's big hand, holding it tighter against his body, with a gentle smile on the corner of his lips.
The island ahead...
"BIB" walked out of Lynch's body, his narrow eyes flashing with a gleam, and he quickly called up chapters 594, 655, and 967 of the comics in his memory. In these three chapters, the island where the strange monk Urouge landed after entering the New World, the island where Smoker waited at the entrance of the New World to catch the Straw Hat Pirates, and the island that Roger's pirate group had passed by in Oden's diary... were all exactly the same as the scene before his eyes.
Thunder God Island! "It's better not to approach the ship. If it is affected by lightning, the Sunny will be damaged." Navigator Nami observed the situation near the sea, raised her wrist and looked at the three pointers that were pointing to the island in front of her and kept shaking. "I don't know how long it will take for this island to store magnetic force..."
Thunder and lightning like a torrential rain swept across the entire island. The shocking thunder was endless, making people's heads buzz.
As the ship spirit, Mary was not quite used to it and was a little scared, so she covered her ears with her little hands.
Robin rubbed the ship spirit's head and said, "If you're scared, just stay on the Sunny. Lab will definitely not be able to get to the island, so you have to accompany it for everyone, okay?"
A slender little finger stretched out, Meili raised her head, stretched out an even smaller finger and hooked it, "Hmm!"
Lynch and 'BIB' lightly bumped fists, "I'll leave the AFK meditation to you."
"Exploit yourself, you first."
The stand-in armor naturally had no objection, it and the original body always had to practice together, whether on the ship or in the mirror world. It was just that the personality copied from the original body made it unable to help but complain about itself.
When Lynch first came to this world, he was a weakling.
His body was pulled back from the brink of death, and his mind was that of an ordinary young man on Earth in his previous life. Initially, he couldn't even persist in practicing every day - no, exercising.
At that time, it was entirely thanks to the stand-in armor's characteristic of being an "other" and being relatively isolated from the main body that it was able to get through the initial difficult stage of starting up.
At this stage, the convenience brought by the stand's characteristics is greater than Lynch's own strength.
This is actually a kind of "forcing growth by pulling up the seedlings" which is harmless to the body; but correspondingly, using this violent and passive method of "pulling up the seedlings", every time Lynch takes back the stand-in, the fatigue and other negative feedback he endures is also the most painful and tormenting for him at that time.
Only when the training results are on track, Lynch's own strength is improved, and he can immerse himself in the feeling of training and persist, can he be said to have truly embarked on the right path of practice.
During this period, Lynch practiced with his stand-in armor, and their progress speed and efficiency were comparable, complementing each other. Although taking back the stand-in still had strong negative feedback, he was able to use his own good strength at that time to actively and quickly digest the "experience points" brought by the stand-in.
And now...
After leaving the prison, Lynch, who had been practicing in seclusion for a whole year, had reached a superb level of strength. To some extent, his strength had surpassed the "shadow clone" feature of his stand. Even if he released the stand to practice for another ten years and then took it back, Lynch thought to himself that he would not need to search for an endless supply of "energy" to offset the consumption.
Now that Lynch has released his substitute to practice, the "side effects" brought about by taking back the substitute are insignificant compared to his strength.
“…”
Lynch stood by the boat, looked at his palms from top to bottom, tightened them little by little, and looked back towards the Red Earth Continent, in the direction of Mary Geoise.
"Let's go on an adventure!!"
Luffy, at the bow, had already carried the pirate lunch box prepared by Sanji. He jumped out with a grin, took moon steps, and with a few snaps, rushed towards the thundering island.
Ninja Technique: Smuggling!
Usopp made a hand seal, disappeared, and quietly hugged Zoro's thigh.
"Aren't you a brave sea warrior?" Zoro was speechless. He didn't mind the multiple weights on his body. He jumped out of the bow, stepped on the moon step, and rushed towards the island ahead.
"Yohohoho... Lab, bye~"
Brooke, with green light coming out of his body, followed as light as a swallow.
Sanji was very eager to help Nami, but Nami turned into a flash of lightning and flew to the island ahead. Enel on Sky Island could even travel around the entire island as fast as lightning. For the Thunder Fruit user, in terms of mobility, it is estimated that he is only inferior to the Flash Fruit. Sanji felt disappointed and turned his head to look at Robin again.
Robin chuckled and stepped into the air with Lynch.
"Let's go, stop playing around." Franky patted Sanji's shoulder.
…
Merry waved her hand and watched Sanji and Franky leave, riding the golden flying disc to the Thunder God Island where lightning was falling from the sky.
The man in black ghost armor sat cross-legged, and a ball of energy woven with colorful lines flew out of his body. Compared with the energy ball brought out from the big prison, it had been refined to less than one third of its volume.
Mary was sitting on BIB's shoulders, chatting and laughing with Lab, who was swimming around the boat. Suddenly, Lab looked at the sea not far away and saw a small boat floating on the waves. Standing on the bow was a short sailor-like figure wearing a hood. He raised his head to reveal a wrinkled face...
"Are you also a ship elf?!" Meili was shocked. She had never met one of her kind before! "Yes, I am a ship elf... No!" The hooded old woman at the bow of the boat came to her senses and said speechlessly, "I want to ask you if you want an umbrella? Without an umbrella, you can't land on this Thunder God Island."
"So it's a human..." Mary was a little disappointed and tilted her head while sitting on BIB's shoulder.
Since Brother Hei has been sitting there without saying anything, it means that there is definitely no problem.
It curved its eyebrows and smiled: "It doesn't matter, everyone has already arrived on the island."
"..." The old woman was stunned. She only then noticed that the little guy in the sailor hood was sitting on the "air", and it just said "it turns out to be a human being". What does this mean? You are not a human being???
The old woman was speechless and a little shocked, "Could it be that you are Homies from the Big Mom Pirates..."
Auntie?
Upon hearing the name, BIB's narrow eyes immediately lit up, and it turned its head to look at the Thunder God Island not far away.
…
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Thunderbolts as thick as buckets struck down like heavy rain.
Lin Qi and others moved forward in the rainstorm. Looking around, they saw a vast sea of thunder. Only in the brief gaps between the thunder and lightning that came like waves could they see the scenery ahead clearly.
The lightning flickered and swayed, leaving afterimages in the vision, overlapping each other...
For those who are not adapted or have poor physical fitness, they don’t need to be struck by lightning. Just the surrounding lightning that is as bright as daylight and shaking in waves will make them feel dizzy and mentally exhausted.
Not to mention the countless thunders that are deafening at all times, which is simply a torture to the hearing.
Zoro held up the Wado Ichimonji, stroked his chin and said, "The whole island is covered in lightning, which seems to have affected my observation Haki..."
"The lightning is blinding my eyes..."
"My ears are buzzing..."
Chopper and Usopp looked miserable and turned to look at Brook and Franky.
"Yohoho, you're right - no, I don't have eyes or ears!" Brooke laughed, "Yohoho~~"
"Hmm? What did you say?"
Franky held it up with his big hands, his sunglasses slid down his nose, and his ear holes closed up without him noticing.
A skeleton and a perverted cyborg! Chopper and Usopp are so envious, but of course, the object of their envy is someone else...
They looked not far away...
"Haha! After coming here, I realized that this place is not scary at all!"
Over there, Nami smiled happily with her arms opened in this "rainstorm", enjoying bathing in the lightning. She was so happy that she almost stood on tiptoe and danced.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Do you have any more sunglasses?" Sanji also raised one hand. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck and brushed past his palm. He quickly drew it back and punched upwards, "Luffy! Don't move!"
That’s right!
At this moment, a group of people were carrying the rubber man Captain Luffy and strolling leisurely in the "rain curtain" of thunder on Thunder God Island.
Inhale~~~ Luffy took a deep breath, and his rubber body expanded and enlarged, like a giant rubber balloon, supported above everyone's head by Franky, Sanji's hands, and the hilt of the Wado Ichimonji held by Zoro, acting as a human rubber lightning umbrella.
"Sanji, I want to eat a bento..." Luffy muttered with a pout, trying not to let out any air.
These lightning strikes on this perfectly insulated rubber man were like a spring breeze on his face and he didn't feel anything at all. It was quite easy for him to walk while being carried by everyone, but it was so boring!
"Wait until you see people before eating." Lin Qi said.
"people?"
Zoro and the others were stunned by these words.
They came here to record the magnetic force of the pointer, and since Luffy had to explore the strange island when he saw it, they came here to take a look together.
Are there really people living on this island where lightning is everywhere?
Moreover, is it really that outrageous for Lynch to be able to sense things in such a noisy place with his observation Haki? "Interesting, it seems that there are acquaintances on this island!"
Lin Qi shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, let's talk about it when we meet. The thunder is too loud and I can't hear the location clearly."
The thunder was too loud to hear clearly...
Usopp was in awe when he heard this. He suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, Chopper, isn't your fur not afraid of electricity?"
Chopper jumped up and said, "It can only defend to a certain extent, how can I not be afraid?"
In a sense, can Chopper also be considered a "fur tribe"? Robin touched his chin. Suddenly, Sanji, who was holding Luffy, asked curiously, "What's wrong with Miss Nami?"
Everyone looked and saw Nami, who had been leading the way with light steps amidst countless lightning strikes, standing still without moving. There were still countless lightning strikes like dancing snakes pouring down on her, but they could not hurt her, the lightning master, at all.
But why didn't he move? "What's wrong with Nami?" Luffy, who was almost falling asleep, turned his head and stretched his rubber neck like a snake.
"Luffy, stop moving!"
Usopp, Chopper, Franky and others ran around in a panic, holding their "lightning umbrellas".
"Ms. Nami!" Sanji and Brook ran quickly because they were worried about the lady.
Everyone quickly carried Luffy to Nami.
Boom! Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Dozens of thunders exploded around them, illuminating the sky like a white day and a white ground, making the figures of the ten people look particularly dim. They stood there like sculptures.
Boom boom...
Thunder rolled, and the figures of ten people swayed as if they emerged from the sea, and the sounds of heavy breathing came one after another.
Then, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What is going on?!"
Luffy pointed at Nami, Chopper pointed at Sanji, and Brook pointed at Usopp, all with shocked expressions...
No, I don’t have a face anymore, yohoho——
“Oh my god!” Brook jumped up and down while holding his afro. “I’m Usopp! Why—why did I become Brook?! What on earth happened?!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Thunder kept falling and exploding around them. Franky touched his chin and pondered, "Could it be that the lightning hit our heads and damaged them?"
"What the hell is that!!!"
Luffy roared with his fangs and punched Franky on the head. "Even if it was because of lightning, how could even a lightning man like me…"
Bang! Franky was hit so hard that he seemed to lose control of his body, and a golden light spurted out from his palm with a "boom".
"LASER?!!!!!!!"
Franky (Luffy) had stars in his eyes, and the same thing happened to the skeleton next to him, "Too cool!!!"
Luffy (Nami) looked at his rubber hands with tears in his eyes, and looked around in the thunderstorm... Wait, now it seems that I have become Luffy. Without Luffy as an "umbrella", why were they not hit by the falling lightning? Everyone thought of the same question at the same time, and raised their heads at the same time.
A suspended blue-black iron rod expanded and enlarged a lot, spinning above everyone's heads. The lightning that fell towards them hit the iron rod and was then scattered to the ground around it.
It's Lynch's weapon...
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at "Lynch" at the same time.
Unlike them, at this moment, a dark soul body was suspended above Lynch's head, with a circle of golden lines in his eyes, shining brightly. In the hands of this dark soul body, there was another petite pink soul body that looked like a reindeer... Could it be Chopper's soul? !
Everyone looked at "Chopper", "Chopper's body now is..."
"Chopper" on the opposite side walked to "Sanji", tiptoed to take out the cigarette box from his trouser pocket, and shook out a cigarette... Okay, you don't need to read the rest, "Chopper" is now Sanji!
"Then the 'I' now is..."
Luffy (Nami) looked at his own body - "himself" was supporting the weak and about to fall Robin sister, looked up and smiled at her: "It's me, Nami."
"Sister Robin?" Luffy (Nami) suddenly realized.
The only one left is Lynch.
Lynch's dark soul grabbed Chopper's soul in his hand.
Obviously, at this moment, only Lynch could explain what exactly happened.
After all, it was clear that only Lynch had resisted the unknown force that exchanged their bodies.
The dark soul, with golden eyes, looked around the top of Lynch's body, and sent the pink reindeer soul in his hand into his own body. Then he turned into a puff of black smoke and rushed into the empty body of Robin supported by Nami (Robin) - Lynch (Chopper) also screamed "Woo Wow" and touched his head in confusion. What happened? Robin (Lynch) slowly opened his eyes and sighed: "Remember the 'acquaintance' I just mentioned? It seems that for some reason, he set up many small traps on this island..."
Moreover, they are all small traps specifically targeting the soul level.
Luo, who are you trying to deal with by developing this little trick?
