Chapter 798 Are there any fans of ours in the Navy?
"Your Excellency Marshal, what can I do for you?"
With a long dragon roar, a black dragon flew out from the depths of the palace.
The huge and majestic dragon head confronted Kizaru in mid-air. The dark golden dragon eyes, as tall as a man, reflected the admiral who was promoted to the position a year ago.
It's very similar to Kaido's devil fruit, isn't it? Kizaru said, "I've heard that the ruler of the Kingdom of Flowers has a special power that is passed down from generation to generation. It turns out to be the power of the dragon. No wonder the entire country can be moved to this place overnight..." He turned his head and looked around. The location of the new Kingdom of Flowers was at the edge of the Calm Belt. Behind it was a circular ocean current similar to the three gates of justice of the World Government.
The World Government is guarded by the Gate of Justice. What does this alliance have? Black Dragon, Snake Princess, and... Poseidon?
The black dragon did not react and continued to stare at Kizaru.
Kizaru was stared at helplessly, and took out something that looked like a letter from his arms, "I came here to give this to the Lord. - Due to the alliance between the Lord and Fishman Island, the World Conference that was supposed to be held next year has been moved forward to ten days later."
Black Dragon asked: "Did you forget that there is a third allied country?"
"This is why the World Conference was brought forward." Kizaru sighed.
Black Dragon did not comment, and then asked: "This matter can be conveyed by Den Den Mushi, why bother the Admiral of the Navy? Since you came here in person, why do you need this insignificant letter?"
Dragon Claw flicked the letter that Kizaru handed over.
Soon, Kizaru turned into a golden light again, flew out of Purple Mountain and the Kingdom of Flowers, and headed towards the northern Grand Line and the Red Earth Continent.
Meanwhile, the black dragon shrank and transformed into the shape of A-Yu, who was holding the letter in her hand.
Before leaving, Kizaru said: "I would like the king to pass this letter to Neptune and... the empress."
That's right, Fishman Island has changed its address, and now even if the navy wants to find King Ryugu to attend the World Conference, the warships they send out won't be able to find the way. The same is true for the Nine Snakes.
A-Yu's lips curled up into a smile, "Could they even invite Sister Hancock? How interesting!"
…
〖Nine Snakes Island, Imperial Palace Balcony——〗
Hancock sat on the railing and absentmindedly tapped her nails.
Mary muttered, "Sister, why did the World Conference invite us? This doesn't make sense... Could it be that they want to trick us in and kill us all?"
"If that's the case, he could kill both of us from a distance right now." Sanda shook his head.
According to my brother-in-law's description, the unspeakable existence actually doesn't care about the dust in this world - he targeted my sister at the beginning, just because he was affected by the incident of Lin Qi's arrest. If the alliance of the three countries has really angered the unspeakable person, the Queen of the Flower Kingdom, Ayu, will probably be the first to be hit, and she may have to use the emergency plan left by my brother-in-law Lin Qi during this year.
Sanda touched his chin and speculated, "Does he want us to become a member country?"
"No way!" Mary exclaimed, "How can we afford the gold from the sky! - Even if we can afford it, we don't want to pay it." The orange-haired girl shook her head repeatedly.
"In short, the World Government seems to be willing to give in and compromise." The two sisters were muttering, but Hancock flicked her fingernails and said decisively: "Don't guess, they just want to trick us into killing us."
"Ah?" Sanda and Mary looked at each other.
Hancock said: "I accept the invitation."
"Ah?!" Sanda and Mary were stunned.
Hancock said: "So, we are in danger now."
Sanda said sincerely: "Sister, you are not in danger. It is us and Ayu who are in danger!"
Mary was speechless, "Ayu is the queen of a fraternal country, she should be okay, right?"
"Shut up!" Hancock yelled, then clenched her slender hands into fists and said with a smile, "I mean, since there is danger, of course we have to find him to find a solution..."
“Oh~~”
Sanda and Mary dragged out their voices, and suddenly realized. It turned out that she was just looking for an excuse, thinking about her brother-in-law! Hancock was annoyed by this booing voice, and said angrily: "Oh what? Go get ready!"
The two little sisters left laughing.
After they left, Hancock took out the latest newspaper again. She ignored the endless reports on the three-nation alliance on the double-front page, and only stared at the subsequent texts about Lynch and others and continued to read them happily. She also took out the previous ones and liked them more and more. However, when she took out the latest bounty orders in the newspaper, Robin's was just okay, but when she saw Lynch's, she was always angry.
Are those people in the navy all good-for-nothings? They only raised Lynch's bounty by this much?
～～～～～～～～～～～ “My bounty increased so much?!!!”
In the New World, on the Sphinx Island, Luffy's excited scream suddenly came from afar, mixed with the noise of Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp and others, and a flock of birds flew up from the sparse woods that were in a mess.
"What is this kid arguing about?"
Ace yawned as he sat on the edge of the cliff. "I've been having so many banquets these days that my head is hurting..."
Robin came over, looked at the scenery of the village in the valley, smiled into the wind and said, "Then I'm afraid you'll have to worry for a few more days."
"What do you mean?" Ace was surprised. "It's about time to pack up and go to Wano Country, right?"
Robin said, "Because there are new members at the party." She smiled and pointed in the direction where Luffy's excited scream came from, "Joz is back. And Labster, He-man and Reg. They brought the latest newspapers. Luffy and the others probably saw the latest bounty in the newspaper..."
Ace showed surprise, "They are all fine, that's great!"
He was about to turn into fire and jump off the cliff to play with his brothers, but was stopped by Robin.
"Regarding the main text of the road sign history..." Robin asked.
There is no doubt that Blackbeard, who has the ambition to become the Pirate King, is so determined to obtain the so-called Whitebeard's legacy, which must be related to the historical text of the signpost leading to the final island, Raftel.
"It's just Teach's wishful thinking." Ace shook his head and said, "After Dad passed away, we took over his hometown and found out that there is no such thing here."
"Nothing?" Robin was surprised. As a great pirate who dominated an era, Whitebeard didn't even have a piece of redstone in his hand?
Ace twirled his beard, looked up at the sky, and laughed, "My dad is an old liar, and he's the best at bluffing people... He lied to me a few years ago, saying that if I could burn a hair on him, he would tell me everything about my dad. But he was obviously bald at that time, with no hair on his head! Tsk!"
Robin laughed and sighed. Is this the first time Ace called Roger "my dad"?
"But he told me later." Ace said, "So I knew that the guy had talked to Dad before he turned himself in, and he told Dad everything about the Final Island..."
Robin suddenly realized, "Whitebeard already knows everything about 'One Piece'. Redstone is meaningless to him!"
Ace smiled and said, "It was because he knew that Dad had no interest in One Piece that he told Dad everything. It seems that after that, Dad secretly gave away the red stone that he had in his hand."
"Sent it out?"
Ace stroked his beard, "As for the whereabouts of the red stone, Red Hair should know!"
"Sure enough." Robin breathed out.
"Of the other three pieces, one is in Big Mom's hands. Now most of Big Mom's pirates are dead or injured, so that stone might be in the hands of the remaining members. The other two pieces should be related to Wano Country..." Ace recalled the past, "I went to Wano Country a few years ago. Although I didn't stay there for too long, I made some friends there..."
"We already have a copy of Big Mom's stone." Robin said, "As for the two pieces of red stone related to Wano Country that you mentioned, we also mastered the content of one of them many years ago."
She remembered how the Minks swore to guard the secret of the red stone at all costs, so she did not tell Ace directly that the red stone was in Zou on Elephant Island.
"The other piece you mentioned should be in the hands of Kaido who rules Wano Country." Robin murmured, "The news about the last piece is in the hands of Red Hair who is further behind in the New World route... He is a friend we have known for a long time, but we have not learned such news until now. It seems that fate is really as he said, as if it has some kind of gravity that connects everyone and points to the final point..."
"'As he said'?" Ace turned around. "Come to think of it, is he really okay?"
In the back, Lynch sat cross-legged next to the big crack on the top of the mountain.
During the banquet a few days ago, after Lynch had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, he took out a random devil fruit and stuffed it into the body of the captive Weevil as promised, so that it would be easier for Bai Tuan and others to restrain this humanoid monster with seastone chains.
Then, after having eaten and drunk his fill, Lin Qi found a place with a nice view and took back his stand...
It was the first time for Ace to see such a scene. Lynch's ghost armor seemed to have some kind of backlash effect. Lynch's body twitched slightly as soon as it was retracted into his body. What was even more amazing was that Nico Robin, who had been very concerned about Lynch, had a calm expression on her face, as if she had long been accustomed to such scenes...
Lynch did not use the energy he had harvested and accumulated in the big prison to offset the consumption when he took back his substitute.
Just like the battle a few days ago, Lin Qi, who was slightly exhausted, did not use this method to recover his physical strength. Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so he could just replenish his energy by eating and drinking.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There is not much energy left, so we have to calculate it carefully and invest every bit into refining and improving our hard power.
Lynch's mind moved, and the gray energy surged out from behind him, which was a little less than a quarter.
The day when all of these are integrated with one's own strength will be the moment when the outcome of one's fate will be decided.
There was a slight gleam in Lynch's half-open eyes.
Soon, a pitch-black armor walked out of his body and took over the less than a quarter of the energy ball released by Lynch.
These things, "BIB" cannot copy the moment it leaves the main body.
Because, in the final analysis, these energies that have not yet been refined into the body are not part of the body itself, so they cannot be copied by it with the help of the stand characteristics.
"Why is it so lively over there?" Lynch stood up and said with a smile without waiting for Ace to answer, "It turns out that Joz and the others are back."
Is this true? Ace was surprised. He could clearly sense Jozu and the others who were so far down the mountain from here? Wait, the wide range of observation Haki is nothing - the question is, can this guy accurately tell that it is Jozu and the others?
Robin smiled and said, "I'm afraid we'll have to hold the banquet for a few more days now."
Lin Qi didn't care and said, "This is what I should do."
"Then let's go take a look together?" Ace's legs turned into flames and he soared into the sky.
Feeling the rolling heat, Lin Qi touched his chin and said, "Suddenly, I have an interesting idea..."
Robin was very familiar with his demeanor.
Sure enough, with Ace's questioning eyes, Lynch snapped his fingers and said, "We'll practice later. Let's get the Soul-Soul Fruit first."
"BIB" came and took out the Soul-Soul Fruit chip he got from Big Mom and inserted it into his chest.
…
In the open space in the woods outside the small mountain village in the valley, the atmosphere among the group of people was generally cheerful and lively.
Nami, Perona, Reg and others gathered on one side, passing several newspapers around to read, and sighing from time to time.
Joz, Labster, Herman and others gathered with Marco, Vista, Little Oz and others to inquire about the details of the decisive battle a few days ago. After all, the news in the newspapers could not be completely true and detailed.
Knowing that it was indeed the assistance of the Straw Hats, Nami, Zoro and others showed their bravery, Joz and others couldn't help but look at them sideways, especially Ace's brother Luffy, who in just one year could actually compete with Blackbeard as the newspaper said! The detail that the newspaper didn't mention was that Ace's brother actually mastered the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement!
Marco smiled and said, "I've heard Ace say before that he learned the art of Observation Haki when he went out to sea, and his brother was already very good at Conqueror Haki at that time... Probably after Lynch's instruction, he quickly mastered the Conqueror Haki entanglement. After all, he is a person born with this talent!"
Lynch...
Joz and the others nodded, ending the battle. If it weren't for Lynch leading his men to the other side of the beach to block Big Mom and the others, even with the help of Ace's brother, the Whitebeard Pirates would have been defeated by the combined forces of Big Mom and Blackbeard! Moreover, according to Vista's description, when Lynch fought Big Mom, he actually far exceeded the "slight advantage" described in the newspaper, and almost crushed her, no, humiliated her... In the end, he shot Big Mom's head with a neat arrow...
Joz was still in shock, but his attention was attracted by the cheerful singing of Luffy and the others.
"Two billion~ Two billion~ I have two billion~!!"
Luffy smiled and linked arms with Sanji and Chopper, singing and dancing.
"Really? There's nothing to be happy about the increased bounty!" Nami looked up speechlessly.
She turned a page of the newspaper and saw the bounty update page, which clearly showed the bounty orders for Luffy and others and the updated bounty numbers.
"Flame Beard" Portgas D. Ace, 2.446 billion! "Straw Hat Boy" Monkey D. Luffy, 2 billion Baileys! "Seabird" Marco, 1.399 billion
"Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro, 1.06 billion! "Thunder Banshee" Nami, 770 million! "Monster" Pikachu Chopper, 501 million! "Golden Foot" Vinsmoke Sanji, 500 million! "Soul King" Brook, 330 million! "Iron Man" Franky, 200 million! "Sniper King" Usopp...
Usopp's loud sobbing could be heard from the crowd. He was seen kneeling on the ground, looking at his bounty spread out on the ground with tears streaming down his face. "40 million Beli... why... last time it was also increased from 10 million Beli to 20 million Beli... wuwuwu... so it's because I hid it too well. Others didn't realize how powerful I am... wuwuwu..."
Zoro looked at his bounty with satisfaction and drank two more sips of wine happily, "One billion! Hehe..."
He glanced at a cook and said simply, "Double the price!"
Nami could see Sanji's blond hair was about to stand up in anger. She muttered to herself, "Who told you to be chased and beaten by a woman? You don't look threatening at all... But, Vinsmoke?" She looked down at the newspaper.
"Brook and Franky have already exceeded 100 million... Even Chopper has increased so much..." Usopp cried, "I can't accept it! Lynch, take the transparent fruit away!"
Chopper came over to comfort him: "From 20 million to 40 million, it's at least doubled!"
"I don't want this kind of doubling!" Usopp fell to the ground, looked up at Chopper, and shouted with tears in his eyes.
Chopper consoled him again, "Think about it, Lynch's bounty hasn't even doubled!"
"Does he still have room to double his bounty?!" Usopp burst into tears again, "A 5 billion bounty, it would be amazing if it could increase to 5.079 billion!" As if he had thought of something, Usopp paused and burst into tears again, "Even the fraction of Lynch's bounty increase is almost double my total bounty! Wuuuuuuu..."
Chopper scratched his head and looked at Lynch and Robin's bounties.
"Ripple Messenger" Lynch, 5.079 billion! "Devil's Child" Nico Robin, 1.4 billion! It seems... there is really no way to comfort Usopp...
"Increased by 79 million?" Lynch's voice came from the front. Chopper looked up and saw Robin and Lynch coming from a distance. He said to Robin in surprise, "Could the guy who sets the bounty in the navy be our fan? Increase the bounty for me and even add it to your original number..."
"Lynch!" Chopper walked over happily, but suddenly his face changed, "It's so hot!"
The heat wave rolled in and hit him in the face, pushing the heat-fearing Chopper back.
The reindeer looked over in surprise, only to see Luffy's brother Ace following behind Lynch and Robin from a distance - and above Ace's head, there was a ball of flaming cloud hovering.
Big Mom's Fire Cloud Prometheus? Wasn't he destroyed by Lynch?
