Chapter 85 Take Off! (Fifth Update)
The villagers brought in pots and pans in a stream, piling them up like a small mountain. Even the bottoms of the bowls were licked clean, leaving the table in a mess.
"I've never seen Lily eat so much..." The old village chief pulled his beard and muttered to himself.
Under the stunned gaze of everyone except Robin, Lynch's bloated belly slowly shrank and returned to its original sturdy waist at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"call……"
After Lynch finished his hearty meal, he stood up feeling relaxed.
He removed the cloth strap that hung his arm from his shoulder, shook his wrist casually, and squeezed it hard.
Although the bandages on my head and body have not been removed yet...but well, I have recovered almost completely.
Moreover, Lynch could feel that after such a battle, his strength... had indeed improved!
Noticing the shadowy 'BIB' approaching him, Lynch quickly raised his hand to stop him, "Wait a minute!"
"BIB" stopped.
"We just finished our meal..." Lin Qi kept muttering, counting with his fingers, his face slightly bitter, "Including the one day and one night I was unconscious, how long have you been out this time? Damn..."
This is the downside of being an automatic stand-in! If you're not careful, you'll leave it out for too long...
And we have also gone through a fierce battle. If the "experience points" were to be recovered and explode like a flood or tsunami, how refreshing would it be?
………………
Las Gap Island, a busy town.
Robin and the ghost-like Lynch walked on the street, buying some necessary items. Food, clean water, basic medicine...
Lynch just merged with BIB and is now half dead...
"Oh right, weapons!"
When passing by a weapons shop, Lin Qi suddenly became alert and walked in.
As soon as he entered the store, Lin Qi smelled a bloody and irony smell coming towards him.
Observing the decoration inside the store, what you see are mainly various swords hanging on the wall, bundled in wooden barrels, and placed individually on wooden racks; as well as a small number of other weapons such as axes, meteor hammers, and maces.
There are not many firearms such as muskets, and it is estimated that this store does not sell them.
The boss originally didn't want to pay much attention to Lynch and his companions because they were just two teenagers. But suddenly he looked at Lynch intently, took out a newspaper from the bottom drawer, and carefully looked at the photos published in the news report... He quietly put the newspaper away, and quietly became enthusiastic. He gave Lynch a brief introduction and tried his best to brag about the various sharp swords in his store that could cut through hair.
"Is there an iron rod?" Lynch wondered.
"What?" The weapons shop owner was very surprised.
Lin Qi waved his hand and said, "I can't use a knife... I always feel like I'll accidentally cut myself! It's more reliable to swing a heavy stick."
The owner of the weapons shop said: "I see, this is really surprising..."
"Tsk..." A man who was also selecting weapons and swords in the store, probably a pirate, couldn't help but laugh out loud, "A brat is a brat, he doesn't even dare to use a knife!"
"Hahaha!" The customers around laughed.
The owner of the weapons shop rolled his eyes. This island is full of these low-ranking pirates who are obviously not good enough but pretend to be great.
The little devil you are talking about has probably hunted more pirates than you combined... This guy just doesn't want to bother with you! "Is this too heavy?" The boss saw Lin Qi reaching for an iron rod used for weapons under the box.
Lin Qi fished out the iron rod, held it in his hand and weighed it, and estimated: "It's a bit heavy! But it just happens to have the effect of exercise, right?"
Someone used his fingers to push a knife out of its sheath, revealing the white blade, pointed it at Lynch, and grinned, “When I was your age, I had already pulled out a knife and seen blood!”
Lynch casually threw the iron rod at the man.
The iron rod pressed down on the opponent's knife. The latter's face changed drastically. He couldn't catch it. What a heavy iron rod! With a clang, his knife fell to the ground.
Lynch stretched out his foot, hooked the iron rod with the back of his foot, and swung it upwards. The iron rod seemed to fall back into his hand very lightly.
"You can't use this knife well!" Lin Qi laughed, holding the iron bar with one hand and pressing it on his shoulder. Behind him, Robin, who had asked the green Den Den Mushi to spit out a few bills, was paying.
The man who picked up his knife looked embarrassed, and the others started laughing at him.
Lynch carried the iron rod and left with Robin. The owner of the weapons shop watched them disappear from his sight and said to himself, "I wonder if such a powerful young man can survive on that great route..."
………………
"We really want to go to the Grand Line?"
On the way, Robin stuffed a few books he bought into the green Den Den Mushi's mouth and suddenly asked.
"Is there anywhere else you'd like to go?"
Lynch looked around and walked around several streets, but he couldn't find anyone selling the recording pointer... Although he knew that this thing was not easy to get outside the Grand Line, it was still amazing that it was so difficult.
Without a recording pointer, it would be impossible to move forward on the Grand Line.
How do you get the record pointer? Go to the Grand Line.
How to sail normally on the Grand Route? Get a record pointer...
Lynch seriously suspected that the world government had evil intentions and was intentionally and strictly controlling the circulation of record pointers around the world.
For them, the more efficiently the pirates who mindlessly enter the Grand Line die, the better...
"Isn't it dangerous?" Robin asked. The Lafayette the day before yesterday almost forced them into a desperate situation... And what more powerful monsters are there in the Great Route? "That's why we have to go!" Lin Qi said, "The West Sea is not as dangerous as the Great Route, but it also doesn't have as many opportunities as the Great Route!"
He smiled at Robin, "Don't worry, I will protect you."
I'm not worried about myself... Robin shook his head wordlessly.
………………
At the foot of the mountain, in front of a tombstone surrounded by flowers.
Looking at the photo of the woman on the monument, Lin Qi put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile: "It would be embarrassing to go to the Kingdom of Flowers like this! Let me go to the Grand Line first, and after I become successful, I will, um... come back to our hometown to have a look!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"That's it. I'll come back to see you when I have the chance."
Lynch turned and left, waving casually.
A bouquet of flowers placed in front of the tombstone shaded the smiling face of the woman named Lily in the photo on the tombstone.
………………
The old village chief saw Lynch and Robin off.
"You've really changed so much! I know I can't persuade you..." The old village chief looked at Lin Qi and sighed, "You must stay alive! You promised your mother that you would go back to the Kingdom of Flowers for her."
Lin Qi really wanted to say, it was nothing, why did this old man make it sound like a flag?
"Do you have a boat?" asked the old village chief.
Robin said: "Stop at the shore in that direction..."
"Leave the boat to the village," said Lynch. "Tear down the flag or repaint it. It can be used again."
Seeing that Robin was a little confused, Lin Qi said, "Stop it, I don't know how to sail! Although I learned some steering skills...but that's the Grand Line!"
The weather and ocean currents of the Grand Line are many times more complicated than those of the Four Seas! Even the genius navigator Miss Nami was often confused when she first entered the area.
Robin said, "I know a little bit about sailing..." But there was no confidence in her voice. Lynch suspected that she was comparing it to her own PhD in history.
"Then how did you get into the Grand Line?" The old village chief was immediately shocked, "Stop messing around..."
Lynch smiled slightly and took out the sleepy green Den Den Mushi from his pocket.
At the same time, dark Stand energy surged through Lynch's body, and "BIB" walked out of it.
The stand armor punched into the sleepy little green body and took out an inverted triangle with white light - the castle fruit chip.
Bang, bang, bang... As the awakened green Den Den Mushi called out "bolu", backpacks, boxes, iron rods and other items flew out of its body.
"BIB" implanted the Castle Fruit chip into Lynch's chest.
Then, it walked towards the main body, overlapped with it, and merged with it. Almost without stopping, it walked out from behind the main body again - after passing through the main body of the Castle Fruit ability user, "BIB" copied the fruit ability to itself.
Lynch twitched twice, opened his eyes with a sour look, and pointed at his chest.
The armored arm covered with blue flame patterns took out the castle fruit chip from his chest.
The principle set by Lynch is that the original body and the substitute cannot be users of special abilities at the same time.
His smooth operation was like water, but the old village chief and Robin saw nothing... except that a bunch of items suddenly jumped out of the green Den Den Mushi.
The old village chief was full of questions. What was going on? Was it a circus trick? Then he saw an even more amazing trick.
Lin Qi picked up the scattered backpacks, boxes and other items one by one and threw them into the air beside him. They disappeared! He even picked up the buzzing green Den Den Mushi and threw it away, and it also disappeared!
Robin was stunned, her mouth open. She suddenly remembered that when she first met Lynch, he seemed to have let his ghost use the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit... Thinking of this, Robin was gently pushed by Lynch, and then her whole body shrank rapidly, flew into the air, rushed to the entrance of some passage, and headed for an unknown castle.
"......!!" The old village chief opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He watched the little girl Xu Lun disappear out of thin air. He was so shocked that he was speechless and couldn't utter a word.
Then, Lynch smiled and waved at him, "Goodbye."
He also disappeared into thin air.
**** The old village chief lay on the ground for a long time, unable to recover from his shock. In the air that he could not see, in the energy of his stand, "BIB" flew into the air with both feet, looked back at the entrance of the Grand Line, and reversed the direction of the mountain.
The pitch-black armor flew away.
