Chapter 877 Epilogue [Link's Stand Ability]

"…That's what happened. This was a misunderstanding. The Navy had no intention of offending Snake Princess, your mother."

In a side hall of the Flower Kingdom Palace used to receive foreign envoys, at one end of a long and luxurious table, Admiral Smoker crossed his hands and explained with a straight face. On his left and right were the current admirals Coby and Bellemer. As for the two admirals Fujitora and Green Bull from twenty years ago, they had left the Navy many years ago and became two of the few three flower rangers. Again, in this era, those who can still stick to the Navy are indeed a minority among the minority.

Smoker said in a deep voice, "If you have any requests or compensation, feel free to ask. We only have one request, which is to meet your father Lynch or your mother, Boa Hancock."

So you haven't given up Aunt Hancock's blood yet?! On the other side of the conference table, Princess Aqing of the Flower Kingdom, who was sitting upright and dignified, was very surprised. How dare these marines say such a thing in front of Sister Finch?

The temperature around her seemed to drop suddenly. Finch leaned back in her chair, casually resting her long legs on the conference table, and flicked her fingers nonchalantly. Zelda, who was sitting carefully on the other side of Finch, was afraid that she would suddenly turn hostile, and she would flick her fingers to fire a storm kick, a shock wave, or something like that to respond to the navy on the opposite side...

"What about the other general?" Finch raised his eyes and glanced at Smoker. "Old man Cap. Is he dead?"

"Watch your words!" Before Smoker could say anything, the admiral next to him, Bellemer, could no longer hold back and shouted, "Ten years ago, the navy was in turmoil and on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for Mr. Garp stepping forward and taking on the role of admiral to calm people's hearts, I'm afraid the navy's flag would have long since..." He was so emotional that his eyes were red. "He is a true naval hero! You are absolutely not allowed to disrespect him--"

"Okay, Belumebear!" Smoker interrupted him. Coby on the other side covered his forehead and sighed.

Finch sneered, "You still have the nerve to say that you need an old man who is almost a hundred years old to hold the scene? It seems that you didn't let Cap know about this?"

"It's a shame to let others step on you and be so humble..." Smoker sighed dejectedly and sat back in his chair, "We can just do it ourselves."

"Just tell us what you want! All we want is a few drops of your mother's blood, just a few drops of blood..." Bellemer wiped his tears and said, suddenly Coby slammed the table on the other side, startling Zelda who was listening with a silly look on her face next to Finch. Coby said with tears in his eyes: "We need them! Those petrified marines from the old times, without them, even we don't know how long we can hold up the flag of justice in this era... It's not that they need us to save them, but we really need them! For this, no matter what the cost... we will..."

Smoker waved his hand to stop the two of them. He lowered his attitude to the daughter of Lynch and Boa Hancock, who was much younger than him, and said sadly: "Even if the Navy is merged into the Ranger Association or the Dragon Snake Flower Alliance, we want this Navy flag to continue to exist..."

"How was the conversation?"

A graceful and gentle voice came from the entrance of the side hall. The Queen of the Kingdom of Flowers, accompanied by several maids, floated in in an embroidered dress as if her feet were not touching the ground. With a faint smile on her face, she nodded to the Admiral Smoker. Aqing immediately stood up and said in a delicate voice, "Mother Queen~" The Queen glanced at Zelda, her eyes paused for a moment between the two horns of her white hair, and then looked at Finch, who was in the lead.

Finch still had her feet on the table. The Queen stared at her half sternly and half helplessly. Finch then reluctantly put her feet down and raised her chin. "Aunt Yu," she said, standing up and giving up the main seat. Zelda beside her also quickly stood up.

"I'm glad you're back. Your mother missed you very much." The Queen sat down, grabbed Finch's hand and patted it gently.

Finch rolled his eyes, and then said to Smoker and the others who seemed a little embarrassed, "Whether my mother agrees or not, and how much you have to pay, is none of my business. Anyway, I will take you to Nine Snakes to meet the man, and you pay the bill. Four hundred and thirty-six million Baileys, not a coin less."

Smoker, Coby, Bellemeber and other navy officers all breathed a sigh of relief to some extent, and left one after another to prepare to go to Nine Snakes.

Even in this day and age, Nine Snakes is still a country of women. With two gateways, Fishman Island and the Kingdom of Flowers, Nine Snakes has kept the tradition of strictly prohibiting men from entering most of the time. Since it is said that most of the time, there are naturally exceptions, and Smoker and his navy and most people in the world are obviously not among them. Without Finch's guidance, in this era, it would be easier for them to think about how to conquer the world than to force their way to Nine Snakes Island.

Walking outside, Smoker had a stern face. Coby, Bellemer and the others were a little depressed, and a sense of relief that a burden was gradually put down, and they also had the leisure to observe the scenery of the Kingdom of Flowers.

For example, the Flower Country navy soldiers were training on the parade grounds. Their roars during training were soul-stirring. Was that ripples? Was the entire navy practicing Lin Qi's ripple martial arts? Many young marines watched with envy.

Most of the navy soldiers in the Kingdom of Flowers now come from the military academy in the Kingdom of Flowers. The academy founded by Lynch did not recruit students from all over the world, and the academy did not have an official name, so everyone is used to calling it "Ranger University" or "Lily Academy". The Kingdom of Flowers, Fishman Island, and Nine Snake Island each have a branch campus of "Ranger University", with different academies scattered around - for example, the military academy of the branch campus in the Kingdom of Flowers, with Franky and the pillars of the Kingdom of Flowers' navy as the dean and vice dean; the Academy of Exotic Animals and Plants, with the legendary sea warrior and best-selling author Usopp as the dean; and so on.

After the marines left, Finch was talking to the Queen in the side hall. The Queen glanced at the slightly reserved Zelda and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, kid. Are you the daughter of Ace and Yamato? Haha... It just so happens that your parents should be in Kujaku now."

"My mom and dad?" Zelda looked up in surprise.

The Queen nodded, "Not only your parents, but also Nami, Luffy, Zoro... everyone who can come is here." She looked at Finch, who frowned and said, "My dad is so secretive and won't tell me when I ask him. What's going on?"

"You'll know when you get home." The Queen smiled, touched Finch's cheek, and sighed, "Your father and mother have been planning this for many years..."

“Which mother do you mean?” Finch asked.

The Queen pinched Finch's nose. Finch turned his head away and talked about something else, "By the way, what happened to the teleportation mirror? I came back from Tianshan in Raftelu, but the mirror had a problem, so I had to fly all over the world and took a sky train in the South China Sea to get back..."

"Haha, you're lost!" Ah Qing was holding a piece of dried fruit in her mouth. When she noticed Finch was giving her a death stare, she quickly sat down obediently.

The Queen sighed, "It's not just the mirror leading to Tianshan, the mirror at the branch school is the same..." She rubbed her forehead with her fingertips, "I don't want to complain, but..."

"It's Link?!" Finch's eyebrows stood up on the spot, and his hair fluttered, "I knew it! Only this brat can cause such trouble..."

The Queen shook her head. "The academy is in chaos. We have no choice but to temporarily close all teleportation mirrors. Hopefully, things will calm down before the exams start the day after tomorrow."

"Very good!" Finch rubbed his fists and walked out. "This way, if I beat this kid up, it will make people happy, right? Hehehe..."

"Aqing, see them off." said the Queen with a smile.

"I'm going to play in Nine Snakes!" Aqing pulled Zelda out and ran after Finch who seemed quite excited.

Zelda's head was still buzzing. Just now, Sister Finch and the Jade Queen of the Kingdom of Flowers were talking to each other, and it seemed that there were all kinds of topics that sounded so serious... Raftel? Teleportation mirror? There is one in every Tianshan Mountain? "Only the Double Flower Ranger has the right to use it. The Double Flower Ranger has to pay for each use, while the Triple Flower Ranger can use it at will." Ah Qing explained with a smile, "The teleportation mirror is a mirror that leads to another mirror world dimension that is different from our world... Why do you think no outsiders have ever found the location of the academy?"

Zelda was confused and said, "Ranger Academy...is not in this world, but in the mirror world?!"

"That's right." Qing snapped her fingers and followed Finch's footsteps, saying, "If we can't use the teleportation mirror, we can only take the Ring Current to go to Nine Snakes, but we have to pass through Fishman Island... Hey, I haven't played with Sister Shirahoshi for a long time, so it's a good time to go and have some fun." She quickly added fuel to the fire, "It's all Link's fault. He must have caused the trouble by randomly placing his stand in the mirror world..."

"My dad should have sealed his substitute!" Finch didn't know what had stimulated him. He felt his teeth itching when he thought about it, and his beautiful eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Isn't your stand-in also..." Ah Qing muttered, earning a glare from Finch.

Zelda couldn't help but ask, "What exactly...what happened? The Stand, and the trouble that Link you mentioned caused..." She looked confused.

"Can you speak?" Aqing asked Finch.

"Whatever!" Finch rolled his eyes.

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

"When he was a child, Link awakened his Stand..." Aqing began excitedly.

Finch said: "His Stand has the ability to anthropomorphize people and objects! One day when this kid was eight years old, he suddenly wanted to challenge Raftel's Tianshan. Then, when we were not paying attention, he used his Stand to turn Luffy into armor, sneak attack Zoro and turn him into a sword, turn Sanji into combat boots, turn Usopp into a bow and arrow, and turn Chopper into a helmet..."

Aqing was stunned. Didn’t you ask me to say that?

Finch was annoyed when she thought of this, "You turned me into a shield! You fought all the way from the first floor of Raftel to the 100th floor with a full set of 'equipment', and from then on you showed off in front of me all day long! You stinky brother, you dare to sneak attack me and turn me into a shield..." When has Miss Lin ever been treated like this since she was born? It was her own brother who betrayed her, amazing! Such a huge amount of information... Zelda took a deep breath and retreated tactically. So, the so-called trouble that Link caused in the mirror world, did he turn many people in the academy of the mirror world into objects, or did he turn the objects in the mirror world into living things? Did he cause a big commotion? However, this Link actually dared to treat Sister Finch like this, no wonder every time Sister Finch mentioned her brother, she always wanted to grab him and beat him up immediately...

It can be seen how much psychological trauma this incident caused to Finch. He was so angry that he went crazy! ...

The navy had been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the circular current on the Flower Kingdom side. After Finch and his men arrived, they quickly launched a warship that was unknown how old it was, and rode the high-speed current into the doldrums.

Even in the doldrums, there are still strong headwinds during such high-speed sailing.

Aqing used her Observation Haki to scan the interior of the warship and found that there were indeed a bunch of "stone men".

Less than an hour later, with Zelda's exclamation, Fishman Island came into view. Fishman Island, now a global tourist destination, seemed to be shrouded in a fairy-tale halo from afar. When you get closer, you will find that it is countless coral bubbles scattered all over the surface and sky of Fishman Island. Many fishmen, mermaids, and human tourists of various races who come here for the fame, are sitting on these bubbles, playing in the sky and underground, making bursts of happy or exciting laughter.

At the port, under the guidance of the Dragon Palace soldiers, the warship slowly docked.

Finch and Qing were on Fishman Island, so they just used their faces to show off. After Finch went to say hello to Smoker, he noticed something and took Qing and Zelda to the Mermaid Bay not far away.

Mermaid Bay is the most popular check-in spot in the entire Fishman Island. Almost every day throughout the year, there are endless tourists coming here to make the pilgrimage. If the flow of people were not restricted, I am afraid that Fishman Island would be crowded with people like sardines in a can, and it would be difficult to find a place to step.

"Where's Shirahoshi?" Finch walked to Lady Shirley on the beach and looked toward the bay. There was a synchronized swimming show going on. The crowd was screaming with excitement because of the beautiful movements of the mermaids. They were clapping and cheering. There were also whistles. Aqing also turned around and looked in the direction of the Dragon Palace. "Really? Sister Shirahoshi is not on Fishman Island? This is really rare..."

Compared to twenty years ago, Mrs. Xia Li had a few more wrinkles on her face. She replied, "Princess Shirahoshi went to Nine Snake Island..."

"She went too?" Finch became even more curious about the mysterious things her parents - she guessed it was Robin's mom, because her own mom probably wouldn't be interested in doing anything unnecessary - were doing.

Mrs. Shirley grabbed a handful of sand and let it flow between her fingers. "Five years ago, your father asked me to tell your fortune. I had decided 20 years ago that I would never tell fortunes again..." She shook her head. "Today is the day to find out whether what he planned is feasible or not."

"It's just a feasibility?" Finch said to himself, "but it caused such a commotion and brought so many people together again..."

Suddenly, thunderous cheers came from the Mermaid Bay. Finch, Aqing and Zelda looked up and saw a row of beautiful mermaids jumping out of the sea in front of everyone. Their beautiful tails reflected the glittering light in the sun, dazzling and dreamy. And the leader of these mermaids was actually a human without a tail - Weather Queen Nami! Nami led the mermaids and rushed out of the water with graceful curves. Twenty years had not left a trace on her face, as if she was still a young, energetic twenty-year-old girl.

She stayed in mid-air and turned her head to look at the beach. Finch raised his hand and waved it twice casually. Nami smiled slightly, and electric arcs jumped all over her body. Everyone saw a flash of white light. Nami had already stood in front of Finch and others on the beach. She happily hugged Finch, "Ah, whose little princess is this? Long time no see, little Qiqi!"

——

ps: Link’s stand ‘I Want To Break Free [crossed out]… was forcibly renamed ‘Master Sword’ by his kind father, Lynch.
