Chapter 834: Too High
[Chapter Serialization·Mother Burial 16·"Do you know where the remains of Moriah-sama are?"] [After crying, it's time to leave. After all, this is the lair of the Whitebeard Pirates. People like Pudding and Praline, who were once members of Big Mom's Pirates, always feel uneasy staying here... Although, both Whitebeard and Big Mom have returned to dust. The group of people from the Charlotte family were about to turn around and leave, but they heard the voice of Perona chasing them from behind.]——
Six styles of Storm Kicks? Lynch looked at the storm of "Sharp Teeth Slash" sweeping in front of him without making any move. The iron rod floating beside him turned into a dark blue lightning, shuttling back and forth in front of him and Robin like a fish, deflecting the variants of Storm Kicks that were strong enough to cut through solid rocks, or simply breaking up many of them with one stick. In an instant, sparks flew everywhere in front of Lynch and Robin.
"What...what is this?"
Fozfort, who was ambushing in the dark, could not help but look dazed, "What's going on with that iron rod... Is he using some kind of devil fruit ability? I clearly didn't feel anything..."
The blue-black iron rod was emitting wisps of hot steam and swayed left and right, as if wondering "It's gone?". Finally, it floated back to Lynch's side in disappointment.
Lynch's sight had already fallen on Fozfor, who was hiding in the rockery dozens of steps away.
At this moment, Fozfor felt that the climate in the Flower City suddenly dropped to a cold winter.
"Eight"! "Arms"! "Evil"! "Demon"! In the dim light, Lin Qi's face was blurry, with only his eyes glowing with faint golden lines.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, the man's name suddenly appeared in Fozfor's heart like a steel stamp, word by word, and each word carried a bloody chill.
As a user of the powerful ability of the Animal Type, Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Species, Sabre-toothed Tiger form, Fozfor possesses an instinct from the wild that makes him intuitively feel a great fear that makes him tremble all over, and he directly transforms into the Animal Type completely out of control.
Boom! The rockery in the garden where he was hiding collapsed like an explosion.
"roar!!"
A burly half-human, half-saber-toothed tiger humanoid beast rushed out amid the flying rubble.
The beast roared, and the ground collapsed wherever it stepped. Wherever its sharp teeth pointed like swords, the flowers were cut neatly and the trees and rockery were cracked smoothly.
Fozfor's eyes were red, he opened his bloody mouth, and slashed towards Lynch with his saber teeth.
Then, Lynch also opened his mouth and bit through the air, unexpectedly also slashing out a sharp tooth-shaped "storm kick". However, compared to the dense storm-like attack by Fozfor before, Lynch only bit out a sharp tooth slash, but this sharp tooth slash was much larger than the previous ones by Fozfor, as if it was a move performed by the giants. Compared with this sharp tooth slash that came towards him head-on, Fozfor's beast-like body biting Lynch was like a petite and docile kitten...
"How... is this possible..."
As the humanoid saber-toothed tiger muttered in mid-air, its huge sharp teeth slashed through him from head to tail, physically eliminating him. Only the last piece of steaming broken saber-tooth fell on the grass in the courtyard where the giant sharp teeth had plowed over the soil and turned it upside down.
Lin Qi smacked his lips and said to himself, "Why are you pretending to be a beast in front of me..."
"BIB" just took a look and vaguely remembered that this was Kaido's subordinate, Fuzifu from the Flying Six? Tiger-like Tiger? What was his official name?
As for this guy's saber-toothed tiger fruit, "BIB" did not intercept it.
What a joke. Kaido didn't even care about the Blue Dragon Fruit, so why would he care about the Little Cat Fruit?
『BIB』 looked further away, near the wall of the Shogun's garden.
Behind the dead tree, Black Maria, who was observing secretly, had cold sweat soaking the cloth straps on her back. She wished she could grow eight legs and run away.
Runti said to Drake earnestly, "I told you not to go looking for Lynch. Look, that idiot Fozver is dead, right?"
"What kind of monster is he..." Peggy Wan tried hard to stop his legs from trembling. In fact, he had already noticed the black figure next to Lynch. Wasn't that the ghost monster that had beaten him and his sister to death over and over again? It was indeed related to Lynch! Fear crept into Peggy Wan's heart. Although he refused to admit it, he began to feel that his sister's suggestion in Qiangang, "If you can't beat them, join Lynch," was correct.
"Want to escape?" Drake's face darkened. "It's too late."
Countless petals surged around the few people, and condensed into a twenty-meter-tall giant half of Lynch behind them.
A huge shadow pressed down from behind. Black Maria turned around in horror, Peggy Wan's face turned pale, Runti's eyes widened and she was about to explode, Drake's eyes were dark and he didn't look back... Hua Qi's huge hands grabbed several of them in his palms, lifted them up and threw them in front of Lynch and Robin in the distance.
Black Maria's hair was disheveled and her kimono was untidy. She fell to her knees with a look of despair on her face, not even daring to look up and look directly into the eyes of the eight-armed demon.
Page Wan saw half of a saber tooth in the steaming hot soil of the plowed grass next to him. His face was expressionless, but his whole body was shaking slightly.
Runti knelt in front of Lin Qi and asked angrily, "Boss Lin Qi, why did you arrest us?"
Even the taciturn Drake couldn't help but look at Runti in surprise. This woman is really abnormal. Do you think that if you change your bottom line so flexibly, Lynch will...
"Haha, you have a sweet little mouth." Lin Qi laughed, grabbed the blue-black iron rod, and lifted Runti's chin which was wearing a mask.
Runti didn't move, but raised her chin slightly and said seriously, "Please don't kill my brother, okay?"
"Okay." Lin Qi didn't care. "Don't bother me, you little bastards. I don't have time to deal with you."
Who are you talking about... Peggy Wan looked up, then lowered her head silently. I'm just a small follower, so what! "Well, if you can, please don't kill me." Runti knelt down obediently and pointed at Drake and Black Maria next to him. "They are not small followers, they are very powerful! Just kill them."
You are still a human?! Drake was really shocked.
Black Maria also glanced at Runti hatefully.
Lin Qi laughed and said, "You mean, aren't they just minions in front of me?"
Runti said quickly: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please don't kill them."
"Take off the mask." Lin Qi lifted up the blue-black iron rod that was supporting Runti's chin.
You! ? Peggy Wan next to him was furious. My sister's true face is not known to everyone... He looked up, then turned his head and said, "Sister, it's just a mask, take it off."
It turned out that Runti had already picked it. She turned her head and looked at her brother in confusion.
"She's not disfigured, and she's not ugly either." Lynch looked at Runti's whole appearance and was muttering. He glanced to the side and saw Robin looking at him with a smile.
Robin poked his cheek and turned his face towards the trembling Black Maria, "There's a mature and beautiful woman here and you ignore her. So you really prefer younger ones?"
"Nonsense." Lin Qi said dissatisfiedly, "You only know how to ruin my reputation all day long."
Robin couldn't help laughing.
Drake looked grim. This Lynch and Nico Robin really didn't treat them as human beings... They flirted with each other in front of them as if no one was around... It was too much! Runti put on the mask again and pulled her brother up. The eight-armed demon promised not to kill them!
"You can choose not to kill me, but it doesn't seem right for me, a big shot with a bounty of 5 billion, to just let a few of you run away."
What Lynch suddenly said made Peggy Wan's heart skip a beat.
Black Maria's heart sank as well.
Drake originally wanted to use Lynch to get rid of these core members of the Beasts Pirates, so he remained calm for the time being.
"How about this, you guys recognize this little German as your leader." Lin Qi said, "Then...you all join the navy together, how about that?"
Huh? Drake couldn't hold it anymore and looked up at Lynch. Lynch's careless look made him feel like he had been exposed from the beginning. This was impossible! "Appreciate him as the boss?!" Runti went berserk on the spot, "Just relying on this kid Drake?"
"Oh, you're starting to rebel against me." Lynch said thoughtfully, "In that case..."
"Boss Drake!" Page One's loud voice even startled Runti. His voice was a little broken due to extreme nervousness. "What will we be called from now on? The X Pirates?"
"Xiao Pei..." Runti was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. Is my brother protecting me? Then she headbutted him, "What pirate group? Pirate group! Didn't Boss Linqi say that he wanted us to join the navy?"
Big boss?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Drake's face turned even darker. Does that mean I've become Lynch's subordinate again? And what the hell is going on?
"The Navy will never accept us..." Black Maria mustered up her courage and looked at Lynch in a cold sweat, "In the best case, we will be thrown into Impel Down..."
"That's your business." Lin Qi taught earnestly, "If it really doesn't work out, you can always be transferred to another place. I think Xiao Hei, you are quite suitable to be transferred to Happy Street. We are all madams, so this is our job!"
Little Black? Black Maria was stunned on the spot. And... Happy Street? Isn't that a flower boat on the sea? How can it be related to the navy? Although she was full of doubts, in the face of the powerful pressure from the eight-armed demon, Black Maria could only shamelessly recognize Drake as the boss.
This Lynch! Drake stared at the backs of Lynch and Robin. They must know the relationship between Happy Street and CP0! But why? The Flower Boat on the Sea was actually an intelligence station of CP0. Drake only learned this when he joined the Navy's secret spy agency a year ago...
It seemed that Lin Qi really treated them as minions. After teasing them for a few words, he just left. Only a few people were left looking at each other, disheveled in the wind.
The half-cut saber teeth seemed to be telling you that Fuzifu was too impulsive. If you didn't jump out, you might not die...
"Joining the navy, you're just joking, right?" Black Maria was terrified. "Looking like the eight-armed demon, I'm afraid he won't pay much attention to us in the future..."
Drake said sternly: "How can a pirate go back on his word? If you promised to join the navy, you must join the navy."
These words were spoken in a powerful and sonorous manner, but the Runti siblings were filled with questions. "Brother, are you sure that what you are talking about is the style of us pirates?"
There seemed to be more petals rising up on the ground nearby. Page One was so frightened that her body trembled and she screamed out of tune, "W-The World Government is okay, right? The CP and the like should be more likely to accept guys like us who have criminal records..."
…
Robin withdrew her attention from those people and smiled faintly. In fact, when she was in Rabbit Bowl Prison, she had heard Lynch mention that Drake might be a navy man.
And because of Lynch's words, she remembered the young man she met outside the birdcage when she went to the North Sea more than ten years ago, and that boy was Drake.
It turned out to be you! Lynch on the side had indeed forgotten about Drake and the others, and returned to the previous topic - he and BIB looked at each other, and it turned out that the unlucky guy whose sense of existence was wiped out by Sucrose was that little bastard Kozuki Momonosuke!
Momonosuke! Momonosuke! It's you! You actually forgot about our baby Momo! This is really wrong! Lin Qi reflected on himself for half a second, but then again, if it weren't for Sucrose interfering, with his current mentality, even if he saw Momonosuke in person, he might not really do anything to a little bastard. And why did Sucrose come to Wano Country? How did she meet Momonosuke and turn him into a toy?
Lynch doesn't have the super-wide-range future-foreseeing Observation Haki like Im, and of course it's useless even if he has it. After all, it's not the Observation Haki that can "look back to the past". At this point in time, Momonosuke has been ruined by Sucrose for no reason. Everything is too late. Even Lynch can't know the truth...
However, it is not difficult to guess. Both "BIB" and the real Lynch can imagine the scene where Momonosuke meets Monet and shows a lecherous look, trying to take advantage of his child to molest Monet, and is arrested by Satoshi on the spot... After all, Satoshi and the others came to Wano Country only because of me. Lynch probably has an idea in his mind, and probably came to seek revenge on him.
In other words, Momonosuke's disappearance, in the final analysis, was actually because of himself?
On the way back, Lynch touched his chin.
Robin said: "I don't know where the person who was wiped out by the Childlike Fruit is now... It's really pitiful that he was forgotten by everyone."
"Yeah, it's really pitiful." Lin Qi nodded. If it's not pitiful, then wouldn't it be unsatisfying?
Robin shook his head. No one remembered who that person was. No one knew he existed, so no one thought that there was something wrong with the current situation without that person, and there was no motivation to save him.
Unless the culprit, the user of the Childlike Fun Fruit, is found, that person is completely hopeless... and that person had already left Wano Country. The world is so big that finding that person is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Well, there is no hope.
"I understand now!" Lin Qi said, "I thought someone had secretly plotted against me, but it turns out it was just the Childlike Fruit that did it. It's all right now, come on, let's unite."
He hooked his finger at the substitute armor beside him.
"BIB" nodded, transformed into a black shadow and merged into the main body.
Lin Qi's eyes were shining with pale golden lines, and his whole body became as hot as magma, and steam rose from his breath. In this vague and lingering hot air, Robin could even hear the bones, blood, muscles, internal organs, domineering, and vitality in his body... It was like thunderous roars, as if he was undergoing a transformation.
In the dim steam, Lynch rubbed his neck and walked out, "I'm really strong now! I'm so high!"
He poked his temple with his index finger, stretched out his hand, and pulled out a ball of energy woven like colorful lines from his body.
This energy ball, which was accumulated through the selfless dedication of countless people in the Great Prison Impulse City, has been refined by Lynch to less than one-tenth of its original volume.
The unimaginable huge amount of energy was completely digested by Lynch, integrated into his own strength, and fully utilized for his own benefit.
The pitch-black armor walked out of Lynch's body.
Lynch threw the remaining one-tenth of the energy ball to his stand, and BIB continued to practice with it.
…
When Lynch and Robin returned to the house, everyone was gathered together. The one speaking first was Kaido's daughter Yamato. She placed a yellowed old book on the empty desk and looked at the pirates in front of her seriously.
"This is Kozuki Oden's diary. I once regarded it as my Bible. It contains... records of Kozuki Oden's experience of following Pirate King Roger to Raftel, and information about the final island!"
