Chapter 816 Lin Qi: Who did you just say I looked like? (5300 words)

"What is your purpose?"

The blood on Drake's body, who was trapped by the seastone, had dried up. He stared coldly at the Straw Hat Pirates' shipwright, "Iron Man" Franky, who was dismantling Quinn's "torso".

"With so many people on the ship, their goals are certainly varied." Franky played with Quinn's head, counting on his fingers, and said, "For me, I want to see the ship I built carry my friends' dreams come true; Luffy wants to be the Pirate King; Zoro wants to become the world's greatest swordsman; Sanji wants to find All Blue; Nami wants to draw a world map; Lynch wants to beat up someone; Robin wants to explore the blank..."

"Declare war with Kaido? Occupy Wano Country?" Drake asked expressionlessly, as if he hadn't heard Franky's words, "Or... the historical text of the signpost in Kaido's hand?"

"I'm talking to you kid!"

Quinn's fat head, who was being toyed with by Franky, shouted to Drake, "You've only joined for a short time, and you even know about that red stone. Are you here for Brother Kaido's red stone too?!"

As for Drake calling Kaido by his name, Quinn didn't think much of it. He was originally a pirate, so it would be strange for him to be polite. Not to mention the Three Calamities, there were also several people in the Flying Six who were rude to Kaido. Kaido actually liked guys with tempers. It didn't matter if they had tempers, as long as he could use them.

Franky said, "Of course we have to get the red stone. Lynch and Robin said that we can't go to the final island without it! Now that we are here, we can't just take it secretly, right?"

He weighed the fat white head in his hand and grinned, "I must beat Kaido to the ground before I can take it away honestly."

"That boy Lynch?"

Quinn's head was tossed around as he shouted, "He's so classless. A pirate this big wants to fight Brother Kaido, but he just comes here so simply!"

Franky asked curiously: "Who told you that it was Lynch who was going to beat Kaido down?"

"Who else could it be!" Quinn shouted with his eyes wide open, "Could it be that Ace kid? Or Marco! They are really overestimating themselves!"

"It's Luffy." Franky picked his nose and wiped it on the face of the shouting Quinn.

"What are you doing?!" Quinn screamed.

“……”Drake remained silent.

Franky smiled slightly, "You actually think Kaido has the strength to fight Lynch?"

"You're going to defeat Kaido?!" On the other side of the Rabbit Bowl Prison, the rescued fishman Kawamatsu was shocked, "Just you guys? There are too few of you, it's impossible to succeed! At least you have to gather a large army..."

Chopper has made a vaccine, and most of the people in the prison who were infected with the Ice Ghost virus have recovered. Reindeer continues to treat Kawamatsu's injuries and check his body.

"It's not us." Nami said as she sat on the pile of gold and silver, "It's Luffy who wants to fight Kaido alone."

“Are you crazy?!” Not only Kawamatsu, but also Baogoro and Raizo, whose ice ghost abnormalities had subsided a lot, were stunned and almost spit blood. “Do you know who Kaido is?! You can’t even imagine how terrifying that guy’s power is…”

"Huh?! So powerful?!" Chopper was shocked and his face turned blue with fear.

Nami pinched the reindeer's soft face and said with a smile: "You forgot, we have challenged that guy Lynch so many times!"

"Oh yeah..." Chopper breathed a sigh of relief and continued to hum nursery rhymes as he treated everyone.

Are you relieved by such a simple thing?! Kawamatsu, Raizo, Baogoro and others were dumbfounded. Are they too careless?

Kawamatsu and Raizo looked at each other and sighed, "It seems that you have not yet realized what kind of enemy you have provoked. That is an opponent that even Lord Oden cannot defeat. How about this, let me tell you a little about what happened in the past in this country of Wano, and tell you about the peerless genius Kozuki Oden..."

The tone of voice of these two people revealed admiration and respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Nami and Chopper were skeptical of their claims. After all, the people around them, not to mention Lynch, were Luffy and Zoro, who were all one in a million? But they had nothing to say about other people worshipping idols. "Then you guys go ahead." There was no harm in listening, and Nami agreed readily because it was still early.

…

"Hey, Sanji, that thing in front is obviously an abandoned factory."

Usopp, as if exhausted, lay on Modi's cloud, and followed Sanji with a "too much" sound. Between him and Sanji, a thin ribbon was used to connect them, which made it convenient for Usopp to use the transparent fruit to make them both invisible while also giving them each space to move freely.

"But, I clearly felt there was someone there just now." Sanji frowned while biting his cigarette.

"It should be an animal!" Usopp didn't care. "It's getting late, why don't we just go to that mountain——"

Before he could finish his words, he disappeared.

Modi stood there in a daze, only to see his master being dragged away like a kite by the blonde hair that was flying towards the factory ahead...

"It's broken, it's broken, it's broken!"

In the abandoned factory, Usopp knelt on the ground, rubbing his arm, and cried out in tears, "You bastard, it almost broke!"

"It's okay. Isn't Usopp a powerful sea warrior?" Sanji walked in front.

"Hehe, that's right!" Usopp stood up with his hands on his hips, followed Sanji and looked around carefully, "I have a disease that will kill me if the chef doesn't walk in front of me..."

“Yes, yes…”

Sanji walked in the complex factory as usual. The interior of the long-abandoned factory was filled with the smell of oil and rust, mixed with a faint smell of sewage.

Suddenly, when passing by a room in the corner, Sanji suddenly reached out and opened the rusty iron door.

"Eh? What are you doing--" Usopp was surprised, and he and Sanji looked towards the utility room inside the door, and his eyes slowly widened.

Sanji had a complicated expression on his face, and muttered: "I knew it, maybe it was you..."

…

Near the border of Jiuli and Ximei. In a mountain that looks like a mass grave, in a cave.

Ace found Susanoo left behind by Marco near Kuri Oda Castle. Following the connection between Susanoo and Marco, he quickly found this place.

Outside the cave, a Komainu with hair like flames was guarding like a gate god. When he saw Ace coming on the Fire Cloud Susanoo, he barked twice.

"It's you!" Ace recognized the puppy and couldn't help but show joy on his face, "It seems that Xiaoyu is here too."

"Woof woof." The Komainu wagged its tail and rushed into the cave with Ace.

Inside, Luffy, Kikunosuke, Ashura, Kanjuro and others had already arrived here with the swordsmith Hitetsu. In the inner corner surrounded by everyone, Marco was treating the injuries of a tall samurai with black hair. Before they came, the one who had been guarding here and taking care of him was a well-behaved little girl with purple hair who called herself a samurai but wanted to be a seductive female ninja.

"Xiaoyu!" Ace waved happily.

"Brother Ace!" Xiaoyu said in surprise, "You really came!"

Suddenly, the little girl became shy, "But, I haven't become a charming female ninja yet..."

"Haha, keep working on it." Ace said with a smile, looking around and asked, "What happened?"

Luffy said, "I'm hungry."

"Who asked you this?" Ace stabbed with his hand, and his stomach began to growl.

Kikunojo wiped his eyes and answered in a low voice: "Master Jin went to various places to spread the news and recruit colleagues to join the cause, but he seemed to be recognized and hunted down all the way... Fortunately, he was met by Miss Xiaoyu who also escaped from her hometown and her master Mr. Feiche, and was saved..."

So it turns out that Xiaoyu and the others have been hiding here to take care of this person. Ace nodded, "Master Nishiki? It seems that he is also a companion of Oden?"

"Companions? How dare I..." Kin'emon supported his injured body and sat up, saying with shame on his face, "We are all running dogs of Oden... Our master died heroically, and we have survived until now, but we are just a few defeated dogs. Only by defeating Orochi, expelling Kaido, and going to hell in the future, can we face our master again..."

Awkward.

Ace and Marco looked at each other. Marco was fine, after all, he had lived with Oden, Izo, Nekomaru, Inuarashi and others on the White Pirate Ship, and knew what Wano Country was like. Ace was a little indifferent, but it was not easy to comment on other people's affairs. He turned his head and saw that Luffy was already playing with Tama's Komainu with a smile. Ace couldn't help but smile.

Kin'emon said, "You all came here to fight against Kaido, right? In that case, I will tell you about the unfulfilled ambitions of our lord, Kozuki Oden..." At this point, the number one samurai under Oden's tutelage could not help but burst into tears. He looked around at the people in front of him and said with emotion and hatred, "If it weren't for the insidious conspiracy of the traitor Orochi, how could Oden have ended up like that!!"

His sight finally fell on Luffy, who was behind him with a Komainu lying on his head.

～～～～～～～～～～～ Kaido, Lynch! Even from a distance in the snow, watching the two figures meet, one could not help but feel numb and tremble. Kyoshiro stared at the bridgehead at the entrance to the northern cemetery. Kaido's tall figure walked towards Lynch, who was at ease, step by step, without blinking, unwilling to miss even a single detail. This should have been a world-shaking peak battle, but it came so abruptly and so quietly.

Sugar, Monet, Buffalo, and Senior, who also followed quietly, were also observing secretly from the other side.

That’s it?

Is Kaido about to have a decisive battle with Lynch?

Isn't this a bit too sudden?

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

Sandwich and Monet were unaware that their hands had been clenched together and were so nervous that they dared not even breathe loudly, staring intently at the battle that was about to break out.

Boom!!! The snow and wind exploded, and Kaido's body radiated an astonishing domineering aura, forming a materialized black lightning in the fierce wind, pressing towards Lynch.

Lynch didn't move.

This seems to be just a greeting, Kaido's way of saying: I'm going to take action.

He did indeed take action.

Holding the mace and the Eight Precepts tightly, Kaido let out a low roar from a distance of ten meters, and swept up a ball of domineering aura like a dark stream, and swung it fiercely at Lynch on the opposite side.

Diamond Dagger! The powerful attack like a shock wave condensed into a bundle, piercing through the cold wind in a flash, and bombarded Lin Qi's body, and the goose feather snow around Lin Qi was cleared away.

In a flash, Kaido's huge body took the opportunity to flash in front of Lynch, and the top of the black mace dragged a long black domineering trail. His eyes turned into dragon pupils, fangs stretched out of his mouth, and the domineering aura of his whole body reached its peak in an instant, and he smashed the stick at Lynch who was close at hand.

Thunderous gossip! Bang! Lynch was hit by a stick and flew backwards into the air, dispersing and melting countless snowflakes along the way.

This is the power of Kaido, the King of Beasts!

In the distance, Kyoshiro's forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was livid. This monster, the dragon, who was known as the strongest creature in the world, had defeated the invincible lord Kozuki Oden...

The ground seemed to be shaking... The buffalo's body was trembling, and he didn't even dare to look up to watch the battle. Senior popped his head out, "treading water" and floating on the ground, watching the battle intently, trying to wait for Lynch to relax, even if it was only for a moment - of course, if Lynch was killed directly by Kaido, it was actually not impossible.

"To deal with you, I have to go all out from the start!"

Kaido's feet instantly turned into dragon claws, dragon scales appeared all over his body, a dragon tail like a steel whip swung out from behind his waist, and a pair of dragon horns emerged from the top of his head. He looked up and grinned, staring at Lynch - the blue-black iron rod that had been floating beside Lynch before, chased after its master in the sky as if it was late.

Kaido opened his mouth and spit out blazing energy that turned into light and gushed out mightily.

Dragon Breath!!!

The conical dragon breath several meters thick swept over the dark blue iron rod and locked onto Lynch accurately. Boom!!! In the firelight, Kaido could sense that the guy... didn't seem to be injured.

"Okay, okay! That's more like it!"

Kaido roared, and with one step, the ground cracked like a spider web. He had already soared into the air and arrived in front of Lynch. The blue-black iron rod had not even reached Lynch at this time - too slow! Kaido swung the black mace again and hit Lynch hard. Lynch was knocked sideways. Kaido stepped on the flame cloud and rushed to catch up, holding the mace high.

Robin, Brook, Zoro, and the wild fox Onimaru who followed him all looked up at the battle in the sky. Onimaru was gritting his teeth, looking at Kaido's figure, full of hatred, but also with fear, it was this terrible and unreasonable guy who killed his master Shimotsuki Ushimaru... He turned his head and said in astonishment: "Aren't you going to do something? That man is your companion, right? He is about to be beaten to death!"

"Really?" Zoro smiled, "Why don't you take a closer look?"

"That's it! Only a master like this, like Kozuki Oden back then, can give me enough stimulation!"

In the sky, almost every attack of Kaido was releasing domineering lightning that shook the air and poured down on Lynch mercilessly.

"Kozuki Oden?" At this time, Lin Qicai raised his eyebrows as if he had just reacted, but in an instant, he was overwhelmed by Kaido's overwhelming attack.

The entire sky seemed to be dispersed by Kaido's earth-shattering and intensive attacks. Just like a joke, the world's strongest creature seemed to really use his Thunder Bagua as a normal attack without any scruples. Lynch's body, which was attacked in mid-air, had already endured dozens or hundreds of heavy blows before he even had time to fall.

BANG!!! Lin Qi finally fell to the ground like a meteor, and his burning body melted a large area of ​​snow.

Boom! A dragon's breath descended from the sky, following closely.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! …

One after another, the dragon's breath hit Lynch on the ground accurately, as dense as a rainstorm.

Doomsday-like flames continued to erupt, and the air within a dozen meters became scalding hot and rolled in the sight.

Kyoshiro's eyes were bloodshot unconsciously, and his hands were tightly grasping the snow. Everything in front of him once again reminded him of the tragic scene when he followed Lord Oden to fight Kaido more than ten years ago. This Kaido... is still so unbeatable, still so terrifying, and so despairing...

Sugar, Buffalo and the others resisted the urge to run away. They stood there with dry mouths, not daring to move. They looked at the flames rising from the snow, and the invincible half-man, half-dragon falling from the sky. They laughed proudly and said, "It's so exciting! It's so exciting! After so many years, we can finally have such a good fight! Lin Qi, only a man like you can be like Kozuki Oden back then... huh?!"

As Kaido spoke, his dragon pupils suddenly narrowed as he sensed a dangerous aura.

In the sky, the dark blue iron rod flew down and rushed into the flames. In the flames, a figure stood up from the ground, raised his hand to catch the aggrieved and indignant dark blue iron rod, weighed it twice in his hand, and at the same time, one foot of the figure had already calmly stepped out of the flames.

The next moment, he disappeared. In the entire firelight, there seemed to be a dark blue shadow and a hole left behind. From this hole, straight to Kaido's original position in front, there was a dark blue ribbon-like trail.

The reason why it was Kaido's original position was that in this short moment, Kaido had already flown backwards into the air.

The bright red dragon blood accompanied by Kaido was splashed in the flying snow. Blue-black lightning burst all over the sky, dancing wildly like an electric net.

It was not until this time that everyone heard a "bang" like thunder, and it seemed that the sound of Lynch's attack on Kaido had just come into play, and it belatedly entered the ears of everyone who were watching the battle openly or secretly... and now, looking more carefully, it seemed that Lynch, who had taken a step dozens of meters out of the firelight, was standing behind the position where Kaido had just stood, and a ray of blue-black domineering aura was floating upward from the top of the blue-black iron rod in his hand.

"Do you see it clearly now?" Zoro grinned.

"……………………" Wild Fox Onimaru was stunned.

Drops of blood dripped from the end of the stick, staining the lightly covered snow.

Kyoshiro was so horrified that he seemed to be going insane. His jaw almost dropped to the snow and his nose was running unknowingly.

Sugar and Buffalo both had blank expressions on their faces, their pupils seemed to have lost their color, and their entire bodies were shaking violently as if they were out of control. The snow on their bodies was shaken off, and the frequency of the shaking was so high that it almost made a sound.

Boom! Kaido, who had left a trail of blood in the sky, fell to the ground not far away, steam coming out of his body, his forehead pulsating with a phosphorescent black aura, and he fell heavily to the ground. The Azure Dragon, known as the strongest creature in the world, had his eyes rolled back at this moment, and blood was flowing down his head like a spring, dyeing the snow red.

"Who did you just say I looked like?" Lin Qi turned around and said expressionlessly.

～～～～～～～～～～～ "Hmm? Want to tell a story?" Luffy saw Kin'emon looking at him, waved his hand and said, "No! I'm so hungry, I want to eat something..." Noticing that the boy's gaze was drifting upwards towards him, the Komainu was startled and crawled to Xiaoyu's side.
