Chapter 840 The Lion Targetting Lynch
"Perhaps it's not an exaggeration for Straw Hat Boy to kill Kaido, the King of Beasts, and become the Pirate King of the new era?!"
The striking headlines on the newspapers were enlarged and bolded, with a huge photo of the wreckage of Onigashima, and a photo of the corrugated rubber man, the Straw Hat Boy, shrouded in steam, which was secretly taken at some unknown time, and later the Flame Beard and the mysterious horned woman who were burning Kaido's body...
The bald old man with glasses held a sword, his face slightly solemn. He always wore a kimono and held the first generation of Kitetsu, one of the supreme swords, in his hand. He himself had a close relationship with Wano Country.
"Kaido was defeated too..." The Five Elders in the judge hat crossed their fingers.
The five elders with long hair said calmly: "He was originally a natural freak created by experiments. After becoming the user of the Blue Dragon Fruit, he barely played a little role. It doesn't matter if he died. Didn't Vegapunk get some other results based on the artificial Blue Dragon Fruit? This is enough."
The blond and short-bearded Five Elders crossed their legs and trimmed their nails. "Who would have thought that by adding a little animal factor, the Destroyer Project, which was originally planned to be abandoned, would actually have the final results."
"Not just any animal type will do." The bearded man with the map head snorted, "It's Green Bull's ability and his bloodline factor that are the key."
"Is this the time to talk about this?" The bald old man in kimono said angrily, knocking the newspaper on the coffee table with his scabbard. "How should we deal with this trouble? In just one year, the son of the Revolutionary Army's Dragon, the little pirate wearing Roger's hat, has grown to the point where he can defeat Kaido..."
"After all, they were all trained by the 'Ripple Messenger'." The bearded Five Elders frowned and flipped through the newspaper in front of him. "What are those news birds that Morgans keeps for? Why don't they mention Lynch at all?"
Luffy is killing like crazy, and the others are doing their best. Where is Lynch? What is Lynch doing? #Lynch's Status# The Five Elders in the judge's hat buried their eyes in the shadows and said seriously: "People hiding in the shadows are the ones who make people's backs cold... Even opponents of the level of Kaido, the Hundred Beasts, are not taken seriously by him?"
The old man in kimono took off his glasses and said to himself: "Eight-armed devil, your eyes are too high..."
Although the name was not mentioned, all five of them simultaneously thought of the figure of the supreme being living deep among the flowers in Pangu City.
As far as they know, Lynch may be the only strong man who has confronted Lord Im head-on and is still alive.
Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Big Mom, Kaido... Masters come and go, and most people never have the chance to meet Lord Im in their entire lives. It is commendable to know the existence of Lord Im. However, Rocks, the user of the Dark Dark Fruit, had the ambition to become the king of the world and was so arrogant that he wanted to challenge Lord Im, but he was still killed by Lord Im.
Of course, Rocks was indeed powerful. Even though his light was turned off and his bloodline was irreversibly destroyed, he relied on his strong vitality to temporarily lock up his injuries, and even managed to maintain his combat power without dropping. But unfortunately, he had become a rootless being and finally died in the joint efforts of Garp and Roger.
Only Lynch, only Lynch! He was the first prey that Lord Yim had named and asked for in all these years.
He is also the first one to live to this day.
In this respect, even Rocks, the king of the world, is far inferior to him.
After all, Rocks couldn't resist Lord Yimu's extinguishing of the lights. But Lynch seemed to have a way to dodge this move - this was also the fundamental reason why the Five Elders believed that Lord Yimu was targeting Lynch.
"The eight-armed demon is very powerful, and he has been able to hold on until now by himself," said the five elders with blond hair and short beard calmly, "but his end is destined. He will become the nourishment for Lord Im's invincibility. He should feel honored. This is a treatment that Rocks did not get."
There was a brief silence among the powers. Even they, just talking about Lord Yimu, would feel a sense of pressure. That existence was older than time and more distant than history. Even those who knew many secrets and stood at the top of the World Government actually knew very little about Lord Yimu. The only thing that was certain was that as early as the first generation of the Five Elders eight hundred years ago, or even from the era of the kings before the twenty kings, they had served the god-like, invincible and immortal Lord Yimu for generations.
In any case, since Lord Yimu has taken a fancy to him, there is nothing to worry about for Lin Qi. This is common sense.
The long-haired Five Elders raised their heads slightly and said calmly: "Let's calculate. The Straw Hat's ship is probably not far from the final island..."
"So what?" said the blond and short-bearded Five Elders. "Roger arrived at the Final Island, but he didn't accomplish anything. I'm afraid Joy Boy, who lived eight hundred years ago, didn't really leave anything behind. Otherwise, with Roger's lawless character, I don't know what he could do. He's a dying pirate anyway, so why should he be afraid of being exposed?"
"Having said that, the Final Island may not contain the weapons left by Joyboy, but the so-called historical truth that O'Hara and his gang have been desperately pursuing definitely exists."
"That doesn't matter. What if the world knows the history?"
"Given the character of the Eight-Armed Demon Lynch, if he wants to go against the World Government, he doesn't need to solve any historical puzzles. Being imprisoned for ten years has not changed him, nor has it made him feel the slightest hatred and irreconcilable with the World Government. How much can an event from eight hundred years ago affect him?"
The powers that be fell into silence again.
This is really weird. Even someone like Shiki the Golden Lion, after being captured and escaping from Impel Down, threatened to take revenge on the World Government and destroy the world. Although there has been no news for more than 20 years, at least he reacted. But what about Lynch's Hanged Man? He was just like nothing happened. He stayed in the Holy Land for five years, lived in Impel Down for five years, and then just left.
Oh, and he also stopped by Marinford to kill someone...
The Five Elders were treating them as if they were facing a formidable enemy, but in the end the other side didn't make any movement at all.
We are enemies!
Hey, Lynch, aren't you angry? After a while, I received some information that was so frustrating. How could such a big guy go to play on a young pirate's ship?
Even if you have no interest in revenge dramas, you can't be so indifferent, right?
The Five Elders gathered together to discuss for a long time, and finally came to a helpless conclusion: Lynch did not take the giant World Government seriously at all, and he was probably only eyeing Lord Im. And he (thought) could never be (never) Lord Im's opponent for the time being, so he simply pretended that nothing had happened, quietly accumulated strength, and when he felt confident, he would come directly to the Holy Land to fight Lord Im to the death...
What's wrong with you? Can't you see that Master Im is impossible to defeat? Can't you consider a more practical revenge goal, such as trying to overthrow the World Government?
The Five Elders are really troubled by this "undemanding" guy. It seems that the other party does not regard them as opponents on the same chessboard at all. He is extremely arrogant.
Being ignored, the Five Elders naturally disliked this eight-armed demon.
They also held a mentality of watching a joke, waiting for the day when he would finally approach Lord Im with full confidence, and then be crushed into ashes and fall into despair.
"I'm afraid that day won't be too long."
The Five Elders in the judge's hat took out another piece of information, flicked it and said, "During this period, the rainfall in the four seas has increased dramatically, and floods, tsunamis, and mudslides have continued. Some ultra-small islands may have disappeared. Even the water gods in the Seven Water Capitals are also experiencing frequent disasters..."
Map Head Bearded Man sneered and said, "It seems that we need to continue to delay the World Conference. Especially the Dragon Palace, don't let them return to the sea."
"The kings have to stay here too," said the Five Elders with a faint smile as he trimmed his nails, "Every inch of land on this dike on the Red Earth Continent will be worth a lot of money... Oh, right, the Sabaody Archipelago." He paused with his nail clippers and pointed at the old man in kimono.
"There is only one climate zone that can produce coated bubbles, the Holy Land of Marijoa. I have already sent people to clean up there." The old man in kimono stood up. "It should be busy now."
The Five Elders in the Judge's Hat said in a deep voice, "The Pluto lives in seclusion on that archipelago."
"He strikes better. When a master like him fights... he can destroy faster."
～～～～～～～～～～～ 〖Chabaodi Archipelago——〗
There was a loud explosion, and in the thick flames that shot up into the sky, countless pirates fled in panic, saying in fear: "What is that? Is it the rumored human weapon, the Pacifist?"
"Yes, it's Bartholomew Bear! He must be a pacifist!"
"But I heard that pacifists only fire laser cannons, but--"
Boom! In the flames, balls of crimson molten lava flew out, melting the pirates into ashes amid their screams.
In just a blink of an eye, part of the entire Chabao Archipelago became a living hell.
In the firelight, a burly figure slowly walked out. Just as the pirates had said before, he looked like Kuma, one of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea. The only difference from the pacifist was that he had two sharp horns, one big and one small, on his forehead and nose, and a pair of curved and thick horns on his head. He looked like a hideous devil from hell.
The Destroyer had an expressionless face, with boiling molten lava flowing from the right half of his body. Some pirates in the distance were so frightened that their legs trembled. They turned around and tried to escape, but a laser came from behind and pierced their chests accurately. Other pirates were so scared that they jumped into the sea, but the Destroyer slapped the ground with his hand, and cold air gushed out, quickly spreading to the seashore and freezing the sea water the moment it came into contact with it. The pirates who were swimming desperately were turned into ice sculptures on the undulating ice surface, with their terrified expressions forever frozen in that moment.
"Hey, hey, what kind of monster did they create..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the distance, Rayleigh, who was lying in the wild to sober up, was now really sober. He had messy white hair, a face full of stubble, and was wearing flowered shorts and flip-flops. He looked solemnly at the Destroyer who was stepping on molten lava and frost, with the residual heat of the laser cannon rising from his mouth... Suddenly, the Destroyer looked at him.
"Oh my." Rayleigh drew out the long sword from his waist, and golden light burst out wherever the blade pointed.
He cut the incoming laser cannon in half with one blow.
Boom!
For a moment, magma, ice, countless laser cannons, mixed with terrifying sword energy, permeated the Sabaody Archipelago, crisscrossing.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The mangrove islands shook from time to time, and blood and smoke continued to flow down, mixing with the sea water near the coast, half of it boiling and half frozen.
～～～～～～～～～～～ 〖New World, a certain sea area〗
[A floating island in the sky——]
The golden lion, wearing a kimono, with long golden hair, a ship's rudder on his head and a big cigar in his mouth, has been sitting in the back garden of his luxurious villa for a long time.
The reason why he used "nails" was because his legs were cut off by himself when he escaped from Impel Down, and he replaced his legs with his former double swords "Sakura Ten" and "Deadwood".
His men dared not disturb him.
Captain Ski flew out for a while before, and acted a little abnormally after coming back. Maybe he saw something.
This golden lion seemed to have a long-lost sense of crazy excitement.
…
[“Hahahaha, Wano Country, I heard that Kaido is here?”]
[In the sky, the golden lion controlled the flying ship and flew down with the wind, but suddenly his eyes fixed and he flew out of the cabin.]
【Wano Country is moving. 】
[It’s not a metaphor, it’s literally moving. The structure of the entire island is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.]
[The golden lion folded his arms, biting a cigar, floating in the wind in the sky, frowning, suddenly sensing something, staring at the sea water around the island of Wano Country, "Under the sea... is there something?!"]
[Under the deep sea, there seemed to be a giant shadow lying there, staring at him in the sky quietly.]
[“…?!” The tips of the knives on the Golden Lion’s feet were instinctively wrapped with a wisp of flowing cherry blossoms. After the cold sweat washed off, he touched the rudder above his head and laughed, “How long has it been since I felt this way? Roger, since you died, I haven’t met a guy like this for a long time… huh?”]
[He was talking to himself in the sky when suddenly the sea shook violently, the sea water swelled and broke apart, and a giant several thousand meters high made of seabed rocks rose from the ground. The sun broke through the cumulus clouds in the sky and fell on the back of the mottled rock giant, and also on the solemn face of the golden lion thousands of meters away in the sky.]
[He immediately evaluated himself, "Well, if I let go and make such a big thing, it is not impossible, but it is very laborious and its practicality is limited... It is better to directly control the sea water to turn it into a giant. The sea water can also trap the enemy and cause great damage."]
[At the same time, behind the seaweed and coral-speckled neck of the thousands-meter-tall rock giant, a half-body figure of Lynch emerged from the rock surface and glanced thoughtfully at the sky thousands of meters away.]
…
"Oh, right, what's the word for the remaining one..." The Golden Lion came back to his senses, pressed his forehead and thought, "Oh, right, 'Four Emperors'!"
He slammed his fist into his palm as if he had suddenly realized something, bit his cigar and smiled, "Where is the remaining Four Emperors now?"
"You mean Red Hair Shanks?" The pirates of the Flying Pirates looked at each other, whispered to each other, and finally said uncertainly, "Let me think... Lord Shiki, there seems to be news that the Red Hair Pirates have appeared in the waters near Elbaf of the Giant Clan during this period of time."
"Shanks?" The Golden Lion smiled in an ambiguous tone, "Hehe..."
"But, Master Shiki, we don't know whether Red Hair is still there now."
“He must be there.” Golden Lion said decisively. Seeing his subordinates were a little puzzled, he couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Didn’t you recognize the straw hat of the Straw Hat Boy? That’s Roger’s hat! If I’m not mistaken, the Red Hair kid stayed in Elbaf just to wait for the Straw Hat Boy… Hahahaha, so, he must still be there!”
"So, you're going to deal with the redhead?"
“Red-haired? I’m not interested in that guy!” The Golden Lion shook off his robe and walked away with the clinking of his long swords. “It’s Lin Qi… go there and wait for Lin Qi! Hahahaha… Okay, it’s decided!”
