Chapter 802 Heading to Wano Country, the Generals Send Off (5200 words)
[Chapter Heading Series· Burial of Mother 3· "She is our mother after all"]
[The Charlotte family building collapsed in the blink of an eye, and everyone dispersed. When Lola and Chiffon were discussing with their father what to do next, a firm voice came from afar. The three looked over and saw Brin, who was holding a wrinkled newspaper in her hand, wiping her tears and walking towards them. She was going to retrieve her mother's body for burial.]——
Cong Yunqi was like a tombstone, and his tattered coat fluttered in the wind.
Lynch folded his arms and stood beside the grave with Robin. A dark blue iron rod floated beside him, as if it was floating in the air with a spirit, and beside Robin followed the quiet thundercloud Ymir.
The man who was once hailed as the strongest man in the world is now nothing more than a pile of dry bones buried in the ground, only he is a little bigger.
"…That's it, Dad. Teach's head is on the seabed near this island."
Next to them, Ace, Marco and others were also worshipping Whitebeard. Ace smiled and said, "I won't fish him out and bury him on the island, so that you won't get angry when you see him, Dad."
After Hancock and the other two left, the banquet to welcome back Joz and the others lasted for another two days before it stopped.
Because he was about to leave again, Ace brought people to visit the grave.
Luffy and his friends went to the Sunny to prepare first, while Lynch and Robin followed to pay tribute to Whitebeard.
Labster said in front of Whitebeard's grave: "Dad, some people went to Fishman Island to cause trouble before, but we have driven them away. Don't worry, the Whitebeard Pirates are still here, and we will never bring shame to Dad's reputation."
"Auntie has an old score with Lynch, and you know about that too. He has already settled it." Joz said in a deep voice, "Weibull claims to be your biological son, and we are not sure if he is or not, and we don't know how to deal with him for the time being. The sand crocodile that used to provoke you has also been detained. He has become very quiet these days, and I don't know what he is thinking." After a pause, he shook his head and said, "Lynch actually said that he could recruit him..."
Then, Joz rambled on about how he was rescued by the Straw Hats on Thunder God Island, and Vista, Marco and the others also talked about the decisive battle a few days ago.
On the Fire Cloud Susanoo next to Marco, there was a clay jar with traces of mud still on the tiles and the seal on the mouth of the jar was tightly attached.
"Although Izou doesn't like to mention it, everyone knows that he misses Wano Country and his brother Kikunosuke in Wano Country very much." Marco smiled, "So we have to go to Wano Country again. Let Izou reunite with his brother, and... Dad, you have always been brooding over the matter of Oden, right? Obviously, you are invincible in the world, but in order not to implicate us, you endured and did not rush to Wano Country to avenge Oden..."
Marco couldn't help feeling sad as he said this.
Joz, Vista and others also had tears in their eyes.
When Lynch heard Oden's name, his expression changed.
To this day, I have not met any samurai from Wano Country, and those who traveled through time from 20 years ago, such as Kin'emon, have not even seen a trace. Have they not traveled through time yet? Counting the days, in the comics, they traveled through time and space for a while, and then they were lucky enough to meet the Straw Hats and save their lives. In other words, the time point when they traveled through time was a longer or shorter period of time before "two years later".
After Kin'emon and his companions toured Wano Country, they split up. Some people, including Kiku, stayed in Wano Country to continue gathering information, while Kin'emon, Raizo and his companions went out to sea to seek allies to resist Orochi Kaido - mainly the allies of the Kozuki family living in Zou on Elephant Island: the Mink Tribe.
If the Ice and Fire Island had not been created, Caesar would not have conducted any gas experiments on that island without the Gas Fruit. The Dressrosa incident had been resolved by himself more than a decade ago, and Doflamingo was killed in case of trouble. If Kin'emon had traveled through time, with his luck with the Conqueror Haki, he would have been able to land on the Elephant Island smoothly. However, it is hard to say whether the cats and dogs on the Elephant Island are willing to go with them to Wano Country to "save the Lord"...
Thinking of the past incident of the elephant master "Amatsuki Gumi" who was dug out in Zou, it seemed that the cats and dogs had created a rift between the Kozuki family. Lynch could only say sorry to Kin'emon and the others in his heart. It would be better if they had not traveled through time yet, otherwise they would be greatly disappointed after going to Elephant Island.
Robin shook Lynch's hand, and when Lynch came to his senses, Ace and the others had already finished.
Ace held Roger's original sword "Ace", also known as "Ace", and said with a smile: "After all, we are going to the land of samurai, so I might as well bring a sword. More than three years ago, I met a swordsmith in Wano Country, so I might as well show him a sword."
Thinking of that strong little girl, I wonder how she has been doing in the past few years. I wonder if she has become a charming female ninja? And Yamato who is trapped on Ghost Island, you should also break free from your father's cage, right? Ace looked at Lynch. If it were him, he would definitely have a way to unlock the explosive handcuffs on Yamato's hands.
"What are you looking at me for?" Lin Qi asked in confusion, "Let's go, lead the way."
…
Arriving at the seaside, Franky and the others packed up the whole ship. Sanji rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to prepare. Nami held a pointer to indicate that everything was ready. Luffy sat on the bow of the Lion and ate meat carefreely. Zoro leaned against the mast, holding three knives, staring at "BIB" who was practicing in the air on the deck. Chopper, with Merry on his head, happily waved to Lynch and others who came over. Lab was on the beach nearby, responding to Brook's piano music. The Sunny was ready to set sail.
Joz, Bista and others saw them off all the way here.
Lynch and Robin jumped onto the Sunny. Robin smiled and chatted with Nami. Merry happily jumped from Chopper's head to Lynch. Lynch picked up the little guy with one hand and put him on his shoulder. When he passed by "BIB", he patted its shoulder to show encouragement, and went into the cabin to find Sanji to get some food.
On the shore, the one-armed demon Little Oz looked down at Ace. Ace looked up and apologized, "Oz, there's nothing we can do. Our ships were destroyed in the battle before. There's no ship that can take you to Wano Country..."
As for Homies? Even in the White Group, not all members made Fire Cloud.
Although it only took away half a day's life, not everyone was willing to do so. Some older crew members, or those who cared about such things, did not seek such a novelty.
Oz did not make a fire cloud either, mainly because he was too big, and even if he did, the fire cloud would definitely not be able to carry him.
If he wanted to create a giant fire cloud that could carry him, it would probably have to be of the level that covers the sky and the sun... Not to mention how much of Oz's life span would be needed to make such a giant fire cloud. Even if it could be made, it would be a hassle to replenish its firepower on a daily basis.
Little Oz smiled and said, "It's okay, Ace, it's the same if you two go or if we all go together."
He took off the hat that Ace had woven himself and handed it to Ace.
Ace smiled and said, "That's right."
He took the slightly larger hat and put it on his Fire Cloud Roger.
Marco sat on the Susanoo Fire Cloud with Izo's ashes in an earthen jar next to him.
"Hey! Ace!" Luffy said with a grin on the bow of the Sunny, "Since you don't have a ship, do you want to take our ship?"
Ace laughed and said, "What? You want us to be your partners? Forget it!"
Marco said: "We don't have a boat, but we have clouds."
So, ten minutes later, the Sunny and Lab left the Sphinx Coast together. Joz and the others watched them for a long time, and soon returned to the island together. They still had to rest and deal with the prisoners while being alert to other pirates who might take advantage of the chaos to attack.
Nami, Usopp and the others were speechless as they watched two clouds of fire flying side by side on the sea a few meters away from the side of the Sunny. Ace and Marco were lying on them with their legs crossed, sailing comfortably with the Sunny towards Wano Country. When the two clouds of fire felt tired, Ace raised his fingers and released a blazing fire. As they did so, Roger and Susanoo immediately perked up, spewing flames at the tail, and leisurely kept up with the speed of the Sunny sailing.
What's even more speechless is that Ace also planted a flag on Fire Cloud Roger, which was the pirate flag of the new Whitebeard Pirates with half Whitebeard and half Flaming Beard.
Ace smiled as he crossed his legs. "Don't you have so many thunderclouds on your ship? If you ride on the thunderclouds, you can fly to Wano Country faster."
Zoro used his thundercloud Thor as a cushion and dozed off; Chopper and Merry sat on Mjolnir and played games; on the grass on the second floor of the cabin, Robin moved a recliner and sat down, flipping through a book, while her thundercloud Ymir curiously leaned over to read with her... Nami also had a smoky-faced thundercloud Hela hanging over her head, and she sighed when she heard what he said, "We want to, too! But..."
Before she finished her words, Luffy held his face and looked at Ace in disbelief, shouting, "How can that be! Of course a pirate has to build a pirate ship!"
"Haha! This is really your style, Luffy." Ace laughed.
"Nami, Modi seems to be in low spirits..." Usopp looked nervous as he held the chubby Thundercloud.
Nami held up a finger, "10,000 Baileys per charge, no discounts!"
"You profiteer!"
"Thanks for the compliment."
"Sanji! I'm hungry!" Luffy wandered around and rushed into the cabin, but was kicked out by Sanji. "Don't jump around, what if you spill it? - Miss Nami, Sister Robin, this is a special drink for you!"
"It looks great! Give us one too!" Ace and Marco shouted.
"Aren't you guys on another 'ship'?!"
"Oh, don't be so picky...it smells really good!"
There were noisy sounds in his ears, and the shadows of Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, as well as thunderclouds and fireclouds were swaying around. However, "BIB" was as still as a mountain. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, three inches off the ground, practicing quietly.
As long as Luffy and the others don't use Haki, they can't touch it at all. Therefore, as long as "BIB" can not be disturbed by external things, it can practice anywhere. Luffy, Zoro and others obviously have a tacit understanding, and playing with each other can't affect "BIB" at all. Lynch lay on Robin's thundercloud Ymir, yawned comfortably, and glanced at the sky.
A golden light passed by in the sky, and after a slight pause, it continued to rush towards the direction of the Red Earth Continent Navy Headquarters.
Ace, Sanji and others noticed something and looked up in confusion, but they only saw the blue sky and white clouds as usual, nothing unusual.
Lynch ignored the office workers passing by, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep with his head resting on Robin's thighs.
…
"Let me make it clear first! Kaido is mine!"
Luffy stood at the bow of the Sunny, rolled up the oil paper that wrapped the meat into a trumpet, and announced excitedly, "Don't grab it!"
Noticing that the boy was looking at him, Ace nodded helplessly, "Don't worry, don't worry. As long as you don't cry and ask me for help when the time comes..."
The main purpose of his trip to Wano Country was to bury Izo and catch up with old friends. He never thought about doing anything with Kaido.
Luffy made a scissors hand gesture and said with a grin, "I won't cry for a long time!"
Zoro snorted and laughed, "What a shame. I wanted to try to slay the dragon."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Brooke pressed Qiu Shui on his waist, "Ah, that Longma once did something like this."
"Since Luffy got there first, let him deal with Kaido."
Sanji and the others had no objection. Nami, Usopp and the others had never thought about fighting Kaido solo. They still had some confidence. After all, he was the Four Emperors! He was the Four Emperors after all!
On another fire cloud flying in parallel, Marco was speechless. That was Kaido, a veteran strongman with a higher bounty than Big Mom. How come these pirates who debuted just over a year ago acted like Kaido was not enough for you to share? Do you think he was just a dish on the plate? "But when it comes to dealing with Kaido, Lynch is the most confident on your ship." Marco lazily lay on the fast-flying Susanoo, "Why don't you ask him?"
Luffy said nonchalantly: "Kaido can't get Lynch motivated at all."
Zoro clinked glasses with Thor and said with a smile, "After all, the gap is too big. I'm not interested in changing to him!"
Usopp complained: "Big Mom only has a grudge against him and Robin, otherwise Lynch wouldn't bother to pay attention."
"Yeah! Yeah!" Chopper and Merry above his head nodded in unison.
Ace and Marco were stunned when they heard this. Nami seemed to recall an unbearable experience. She shook her head and said, "Do you think that Lynch had already used all his strength when he defeated Big Mom? You are wrong!"
"That's so wrong!" Usopp agreed.
"During the final assessment, there were so many of us going at the same time... At that time, there was even Ayu who also mastered the human-dragon form of the wave pattern, Visionary Marian, White Horse Cavendish..." Nami held her forehead and said, "Everyone tried their best, and was almost beaten to death by this guy Lynch. We only managed to knock him to the ground..."
Franky reminded, "'Knockout', literally."
Marco was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked. Could this perverted cyborg mean that Luffy and his gang almost lost their lives, but this was the first time they beat Lynch to the ground? That's all? Lynch wasn't even seriously injured, it was just an ordinary "fall"? This must be a lie! Even if Dad or Roger were resurrected, it's hard to say that they have this ability!
Marco and Ace looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.
Ace thought for a moment and asked, "In your eyes, what kind of existence is Lin Qi on the ship?"
"Partner." Luffy nodded.
"The strongest opponent in the world." Zoro smiled while drinking.
Nami raised her hand and said, "The greatest thigh."
Usopp said: "Terrible instructor."
Sanji brought the plate and pouted, "You're such an envious guy."
"If I'm the King of Souls," Brooke intoned, "he's more like the God of Souls."
Franky smiled and said, "What a great man."
"Brother Hei is Brother Hei." Mary blinked.
Lab popped his head out on the other side of the sea and chanted, but no one knew what he was saying. The thunderclouds on the ship were also chirping.
Chopper raised his hands and said, "It's Luffy's dad—woooo!" As soon as he said it, he was covered by Nami and Usopp's hands. After finally breaking free, he changed his words and said, "It's Luffy's brother-in-law!"
Nami and Usopp nodded as if relieved.
"Brother-in-law?" Luffy tilted his head in confusion.
"That's all? Give me some more flattery. I don't mind..."
Lynch, who was resting on the elastic thighs, shouted with his eyes closed.
"hehe……"
Robin, who was reading a book on the second floor of the cabin, took everything in. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. Above his head, at the top of the mast of the Sunny, petals bloomed, and a pair of dark green eyes appeared, gazing at the sea in the distance.
Ace, Sanji, Usopp and the others looked in the same direction with serious expressions, and saw two royal ships passing by on the sea not far apart.
A ship for a world conference?
Because Hancock had been here, everyone knew something. Usopp stared at the two ships, his face suddenly turned pale and he said, "Aokiji, Aokiji, Aokiji... and Fujitora!"
"A ship manned by two admirals?"
"Are you so unlucky? You just happened to run into them..."
Zoro held his sword and stood up, Sanji flicked his cigarette ash, and Nami held the golden staff tightly and waited seriously. Luffy stood at the bow with his straw hat on, looking at the two royal ships getting closer and closer.
By the side of the ship on the left, Aokiji was idly looking at the sea, and on the deck of the ship on the right, there was a blind swordsman in a purple robe sitting high up.
"Um?"
Aokiji and Fujitora also noticed the Straw Hat Pirates ship that was about to pass by them on the sea, and couldn't help but look at it intently. When they noticed the white thunderclouds hovering over their ship, and the fire clouds under Ace and Marco's seats, their expressions changed slightly. Aokiji, in particular, guessed immediately that this must be the work of Lynch. In other words... Big Mom's Soul Soul Fruit was indeed obtained by him.
The royals on the two ships knew nothing, while the marines looked at the pirate ship nervously. The Straw Hat Boy, the Pirate Hunter... these pirates were either worth 2 billion, 1 billion, or even hundreds of millions. Wait, is that Ace the Flamebeard over there? Marco the Shocking Seabird? Oh my god... The total bounty of these pirates combined would probably shake the entire ocean! Are we really that unlucky? The marines on the two ships were all a little nervous.
Aokiji and Fujitora's Observation Haki both glanced at the person who was lying and sleeping on the Sunny, and then they waved their hands behind them expressionlessly, pretending not to see it.
Thus, in the strange silence, two royal ships and a pirate ship crossed each other on the sea, and neither side took action, nor even spoke...
At the same time, people on both sides breathed a sigh of relief...
Fortunately, no fight broke out...
Wow, Ace and Marco looked at each other and couldn't help but gasp. The two admirals kept silent and pretended not to see it. Lynch... They looked at someone on the Sunny, who turned over and faced Robin's belly. He was sleeping soundly, and it seemed that he didn't notice Aokiji and Fujitora passing by at all.
