Chapter 794 The World Shocks! (Part 1)
"Sand-bound Coffin!"
"Sandfall Funeral!"
"Sand Shuriken!"
The yellow sand was flying all over the sky, changing in a myriad of ways under Lin Qi's control. Sometimes it would wrap around a huge rock and instantly crush it into dust, sometimes it would press down like an overwhelming force, and sometimes it would turn into sharp blades and fly around like a rainstorm...
Crocodile was stunned. "What is he doing?"
"Let's play." Robin sat at the entrance of the cave with his legs crossed, flipping through a book. "Is it difficult to understand?"
"Play..." Crocodile was even more stunned, and said blankly, "Why would he make a big gourd out of sand and carry it on his back?"
Robin thought for a moment, "Fun."
“…” Crocodile was completely speechless.
"Shukaku Shield!"
Robin looked up at the open space outside. Lynch waved his hand, and a huge sand wall like a raccoon sculpture rose from the ground...
Robin suddenly raised his palm to his cheek and said loudly: "Thirty-one years old~"
Lin Qi said without even turning his head: "Nonsense! I'm eighteen!"
Robin is happy.
"You are two years younger, so sixteen!" Lin Qi pressed his big hand on the ground, and boom! The area with a radius of more than ten meters turned into yellow sand.
Robin was even happier. He lifted the book to cover the lower half of his face, his bright eyes filled with a gentle smile.
The sand crocodile was not happy.
He stared blankly at Lin Qi as he raised his hands. Countless yellow sands turned into armor and wrapped around his body. More than a dozen yellow sand soldiers in armor and weapons rose from the ground... This scene made it a little difficult for him to breathe.
Tell me, this guy Lin Qi is actually an old monster. He had used the Sand-Sand Fruit before me...
Otherwise, how could he have reached a level of proficiency that matched mine, which took me more than ten or twenty years of hard work, in just a few minutes after getting the Shasha Fruit?
Drain the moisture from an object and turn it into sand... This is a very difficult and clever way of using it!
How come he can do it just like eating and drinking, just by raising his hand?
Crocodile, who was covered in wounds and tied up in the cave, had his chest heaving violently, and his eyes were bloodshot... Of course, he didn't doubt his life for long, because Lynch soon felt bored. He called "BIB" to take out the Sand-Sand Fruit chip, shook his head and walked over, "Alas! That's it. I might have played for a few more days before, but now I get bored very quickly."
"Eighteen years old?" Robin put away the book and joked with a smile.
"I'm twenty now." Lynch said seriously. While talking and laughing, he returned to Crocodile, tossing the chip of the Sand-Sand Fruit in his hand, and pointed at the embarrassed Crocodile seriously, "Do you really think I want this thing of yours? I was chasing you all over the place... virtue!" As he said that, he punched the Sand-Sand Fruit chip back into Crocodile's body, clapped his hands, stood up and said, "If you say it's for fun, then it's for fun! Ha!"
"..." Crocodile looked expressionless.
It turns out that what this guy meant by proving his innocence was that during the Sword Master Competition, this guy wanted to borrow his Sand-Sand Fruit for "fun"... Nonsense, can you blame me for this? Who would believe such nonsense as yours?
Besides, what does "running around" mean? Isn't that you chasing me all over the sky to kill me?
"We are destined to meet. Let me give you a suggestion." Lynch lifted Crocodile's collar, straightened it, patted him, and said with a smile, "You should join the new Whitebeard Pirates. There should be a way out!"
"What did you say--" Sand Crocodile's eyes widened.
But Lynch had already stood up and walked away with Robin. As he walked, he seemed to be sighing about something difficult to understand, as if he had forgotten to take something back for a while.
…
"Speaking of which, what devil fruits do I have now?"
Lynch took the chip of the Soul-Soul Fruit from BIB and observed the ghostly swirling pattern on it.
"BIB" walked aside and pressed the glowing triangular reactor on his chest. Many triangular devil fruit chips flew out, wrapped in a dark stand energy, and spread out in the air in front of Lynch like playing cards. There were the Magnetic Fruit, the Bubble Fruit, the Art Fruit, the Lava Fruit, the Phantom Fruit...
"Phantom Fruit?" Lynch wondered.
"Ayu." Robin reminded.
"Oh~" Lin Qi remembered, the ancient scholars!
"BIB" said: "The Castle Fruit is with Green, the Gold-Gold Fruit was given to Sanji, the Transparent Fruit was given to Usopp, the Thunder Fruit was given to Nami, the Swallow-Swallow Fruit was given to Franky, the Gas Fruit was given to Kerla, the Black Dragon Fruit was given to Otama, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was given to Marco..."
"Did I throw out so much?" Lynch had a head full of question marks, without any awareness of the situation.
Throw? Robin thought it was funny and added, "There are also three mythical beasts from Hancock and the others, and Rose's Pipe-Pipe Fruit. Oh, and Usopp has a Stone-Stone Fruit..."
"What does this have to do with me? They got it all by themselves!" Lin Qi said, "Donor lady, please don't frame them."
"The Sand-Sand Fruit was given to Crocodile." Robin shrugged.
Lin Qi said with emotion: "I am really a kind-hearted person, a boy who gives away money! - No, a fruit vendor?"
Robin smiled softly.
Lin Qi suddenly remembered, "What else is there?" He snapped his fingers twice, "Oh, right! What about the Impact Fruit?"
"BIB"'s narrow eyes glowed, as if he was retrieving his memory at the speed of light, and he said at the same time: "When I was on Crown Island, the chip of the Impact Fruit was knocked off by Kizaru's laser. Eleven years have passed, and I don't know if it has been reborn into a new Impact Fruit."
"Oh, I remember now." Lynch nodded.
"..." Thinking of what happened that year, Robin's heart tightened and he took Lynch's hand and held it.
Lin Qi comforted her: "Oh, my dear daughter, are you okay?"
The slight psychological shadow that had just emerged in Robin's heart was instantly dispelled by his words, and he couldn't help but raise his finger to push his forehead when he was pretending to be sincere.
Lynch leaned over and grabbed Robin's knee. Robin felt like he was floating on the clouds, and when he came to his senses, he was sitting on Lynch's shoulder.
Lynch said happily: "Let's take a look at the documentary "Nicole Robin: The Depression Decade" - are there any key points marked?"
Robin held his forehead with his hand, and Lynch comforted him: "Relax, don't worry too much..."
"So you don't want to see anymore?" Robin sat on his shoulder and raised his hand to cover his eyes. Anyway, with Lynch's observation Haki, he could walk normally even with his eyes covered.
Lin Qi said, "What I mean is, my little boy and I will definitely use this to tease you for the rest of your life, so you might as well just let it go..."
Robin's chest heaved violently, and finally he looked up at the sky in silence.
"Hahahaha!" Lin Qi laughed and walked quickly.
Under his hips was his solid and reliable shoulder. Robin looked up at the clear blue sky, a smile slowly forming at the corners of his lips.
A lifetime?
Before taking back the substitute, Lynch turned around and asked, "How much of that thing is left?"
An energy ball made of colorful lines emerged from the back of "BIB". Compared with before, its volume has shrunk a lot.
It estimated: "About a quarter left."
When I left Shampoo and went to Fishman Island more than half a month ago, there was about one third left.
Lynch nodded, and was about to take back his Stand to unify the progress of his training when he heard Luffy's excited shout from the front: "Stop talking nonsense! Let's have a banquet!"
Lin Qi stuffed the Soul Soul Fruit chip back into BIB's chest along with the other chips, "Then you hang up for a while, I'm going to have a good meal first."
"BIB" took off into the air, an Ultraman nodded, floated away, rose to a high altitude and sat cross-legged, quietly continuing to refine the pure gray energy into his body bit by bit.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ahead, a grand banquet was beginning. The villagers were busily bringing out the remaining food and wine in the village, and handed them over to Sanji who rolled up his sleeves to cook; Luffy and Ace touched the meat and chewed it wildly, feeling that it would be nice if Sabo was there; Zoro smelled the aroma of the wine, and couldn't wait to scoop up a splash of wine with his bare hands and drank it, nodding with satisfaction, while Marco pointed and shook his head from time to time; Franky sat among Vista and a group of White Pirates and talked loudly; Usopp was caught by Perona, and the ghost princess seemed to be unconvinced and insisted on letting Usopp experience the power of the negative ghost; Nami, in the name of Chopper, occupied a lot of snacks and desserts, and happily shared the "trophies" with Chopper, and on their left and right, Brook and Merry looked at them pitifully, and noticed Lynch and Robin coming not far away, and Nami and the others raised their hands and waved happily...
At the seaside, little Oz fanned himself with his hat and looked at the lively party of the crowd on the ground, and couldn't help laughing.
Nearby, the island whale Lab also surfaced and began to sing happily.
Lynch and Robin smiled at each other and joined the party.
~~~~~~~~~~~ Everyone here was enjoying the banquet and laughter after the victory of the battle, but they didn't know that the whole world had been greatly shaken because of the battle on Sphinx Island.
As the news birds flew to all parts of the world like a tide, passing over the front and back ends of the great route, crossing the red earth continent, and spreading the latest newspapers to every corner of the sea, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the West China Sea, the North China Sea... When people opened the newspapers and saw the shocking front-page news, they were so scared that their eyes almost popped out.
The fall of two emperors!
The big, bold black title, coupled with a half-blurred photo taken from somewhere of an old lady having her head shot out by an arrow on the sea, and a half-blurred photo of Blackbeard having his three hearts blown out by a rubber fist in the air above the evaporating sea...it stunned and terrified countless people around the world.
There are only four sea emperors in total, and this... out of nowhere, two of them died all of a sudden???
That's Charlotte Lingling!
The great pirate who had dominated the sea for decades! The emperor of the pirate warlord forces that dominated the sea like a small "world government"! She didn't know how many years this lingering nightmare had been.
Died just like that? Many people stared with wide eyes, looking carefully at the arrow that shot the old lady's head into pieces in the photo...
"It's Lin Qi!" In a shopping mall, a woman who was shopping for clothes with her bestie opened the latest newspaper and immediately shouted excitedly, pointing at the dark blue energy trailing behind the arrow in the photo, "Look at this black with dark blue energy, it must be him! It was exactly the same in the newspaper about the Battle of Marineford a year ago..."
My best friend was amazed, "You observe very carefully!" She was also reading the newspaper, "Wow, Robin is here too. Uh, there are so many dead and injured pirates on the ground... The fighting between pirates is so scary!"
"Hey, who is this big furry monster?"
"This skeleton..."
On the same day, and even for several days in a row, countless people were flipping through the newspapers like crazy, reading word by word the reports about this shocking battle that caused the Sea Emperor to lose half of his men. They were almost using a magnifying glass to observe every clue on the published photos at the pixel level...
"This is Pikachu Chopper, the 'monster' of the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"And Brook the Afro Skull is also a member of the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"Wait... So, Lynch and Nico Robin are also members of the Straw Hat Pirates now?"
"Is the rumor true?"
“That’s impossible!”
"I heard that..."
Suddenly, the building seemed to be tilted.
Two of the Four Emperors of the Sea died in one battle, which was a terrifying event - after all, Whitebeard died just a year ago! In just two years, three emperors of the sea died in succession? Oh, of course, Blackbeard Teach was the new emperor after all, and he had only been the Four Emperors for about half a year. He was about to become famous, and then he died again... The civilians and pirates around the world had not even fully formed a deep impression of the Blackbeard Pirates, and they were gone...
——Two of the Four Emperors of the Sea died, which was certainly scary, but the fact that Lynch and Nico Robin joined the Straw Hat Pirates shocked people so much that it gradually surpassed the news of the fall of the two emperors.
This is the damn "Ripple Messenger" Lynch! The bounty of the "Eight-Armed Devil" is the highest in the world, up to 5 billion Baileys! ! ! In comparison, Blackbeard only has a bounty of 2.2 billion; even the notorious Big Mom, with a bounty of 4.3 billion, is not as good as Lynch! Is it okay for the "Eight-Armed Devil" to join the Straw Hat Pirates?
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! What is going on??? I can’t accept this!!!!!”
At home, the woman in the new dress hugged her best friend and shook her head wildly, "Why did Lynch and Robin join the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"Stop shaking, I feel dizzy!" My bestie was dizzy and dazed. "It's their freedom to join whichever pirate group they want, right?"
The woman shouted, "I don't care! Why? Lin Qi is such a powerful man, why doesn't he be the captain himself? Let that...what's his name, the guy in the straw hat be the captain?"
My best friend rolled her eyes and reminded me, "You say you're a senior fan. When has Giorno ever been a captain? I never care about that!"
"How can it be the same if Jolyne is the captain or if Straw Hat Boy is the captain???" The woman grabbed a cushion and threw it at him.
My best friend said with a smile: "So you think that the captain was Jolyne before, and Giorno was just coaxing his woman? It was just a joke and can't be taken seriously? So do you respect Lynch's ideas, or are you just imposing your own imagination on him?"
"That's nonsense!" The woman sneered, "When did Jolyne look like a captain? Wasn't Lynch the leader of the JOJO Pirates?"
The bestie shrugged, "This is the choice of Jolyne as the captain. What does it have to do with Linqi, a crew member who treats Jolyne as the captain? There is no contradiction."
The woman was full of questions, and wanted to refute, but she couldn't. She said angrily, "I'll just say one thing, and you'll definitely have nothing to say - can't the so-called pirate captain order the crew to do things? Does my Lin Qi, such a great man, have to listen to this young boy? This is too ridiculous!"
My best friend said happily, "You also said he was the 'so-called pirate captain'. Think about it yourself. Was Lynch's former captain, 'Kujo Jolyne' of the JOJO Pirates, like the 'so-called pirate ship captain'? Then how could you feel that this straw hat guy is your 'so-called pirate captain'? If you think Lynch is still the same Lynch, then obviously this straw hat guy is not the 'so-called captain' you think he is... Or, you think Lynch himself has changed! Is that right? Or, you never knew Lynch in the first place."
The woman blushed, threw another cushion over, and yelled, "You're so annoying!"
The bestie caught the cushion and poked her head out to say, "Don't worry. Even if Lynch becomes a trainee marine now, what can happen? He will still be as powerful as ever, and he won't lose anything. Come to think of it, I think the straw hat guy who has Lynch on the ship is a little pitiful. He must be under a lot of pressure! Speaking of which, he actually had the courage to choose Lynch as his partner. What was he thinking?"
"It's none of my business! It would be best if he died!" The woman rolled her eyes and touched the cushions with her hand, and found that all the cushions were used up.
"Hehehe." My best friend grabbed a few cushions and rushed over.
…
The world is in shock. The whole world is talking about this "final war", and the same is true for the World Government.
Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Zefa rubbed his brows, stood up and walked to the window, looking at Pangu City outside the window.
