Chapter 879 Postscript [Robin's Stand Ability]
When Sanda, Mary, Finch, Nami, Aqing, Zelda and the other navy members arrived at the Trial Island, they just saw a green figure rushing towards them, bringing a gust of wind with a strong sense of oppression. Before hitting everyone, the figure flipped in the air in time, took a step, and landed on the ground in a chic manner with a knife flower.
Finch glanced at him and sneered, "If you didn't know, you would think you won the fight."
"Hmm?" Zoro, who was in his early forties, turned his head and looked over. "Oh, it's you guys."
Nami teased, "Lost again? I don't understand why you and Luffy always want to fight Lynch when you know you can't win?"
Zoro sheathed the three swords and said, "Except for Lynch, there is no one I can chop with such pleasure."
Zelda was shocked, "Uncle Luffy can't do that either?"
Zoro said speechlessly: "Luffy is not much stronger than me. I can't fight him to the death just to kill him. That would be too hasty."
Nami was overjoyed and said, "Do you think of Lynch as a scarecrow for sword practice? Hahaha!"
Zoro shook his head and said, "Is Scarecrow always giving people such a strong sense of frustration? I can't feel more and more where the limit of that guy is..."
"Always thinking about competing with him," Nami said sincerely, "It must be you and Luffy who have problems in your brain. Look, I have Usopp and even Sanji-kun who don't have this kind of trouble!"
"He has no ambitions." Zoro snorted, "He's just a cook."
This is the world's greatest swordsman, Roronoa Zoro... Many marines stood still. Although he was just chatting and laughing with his friends, he seemed to radiate a domineering aura, giving people a heavy sense of oppression. He is indeed worthy of being called the King of Hell Swordsman, a hero who is on par with the Pirate King Luffy, and one of the few top rangers in the world who has three flowers gathered at the top! Smoker had a stern face. Coby wanted to say hello to Zoro, but Berumeber just wanted to hide as much as possible.
Following Zoro, the group almost failed to find Lynch and the others' location.
Zoro calmly followed Finch and the others. Nami locked onto Lynch's direction with her heart net, and muttered with a dark face, "I was careless, I was careless... This guy is forty years old, but he's still so unreliable!"
"Lynch! Take this! This is the Super Corrugated Rubber Man that surpasses the full power of the Corrugated Rubber Man!!"
When everyone arrived at the battlefield, they saw only a tall figure surrounded by red and black ripples and steam streamers, which, like a flaming meteor, crashed headfirst into an ordinary figure floating in the low sky.
Boom!!! The entire island was shaking slightly, waves were rolling around, red and black ripples were rising into the sky, tearing the sky apart.
Lynch held his hands in his trouser pockets and did not move. Luffy's fist, which was strong enough to smash a mountain, was caught steadily by a gray phantom hand that appeared around Lynch.
That is... Lynch's stand-in?! Smoker's pupils shrank. He hadn't seen Lynch for many years. Why did this guy's "ghost" seem different from before?
Luffy, who entered the "Super Corrugated Rubber Man" state, punched like thousands of meteors, blasting towards Lynch like a storm. Even the air became distorted in the hot flames. The sky was changing, shaking and shattering with every punch of Luffy. The trees were shaking, the branches and leaves, and the grass were crouching. The beasts surrendered in fear... This is the Pirate King Luffy! As expected... Well, as expected, he is a top-level strong man who is said to be stronger than the King of Hell Zoro.
However, Lynch, who was revered as the Great Sage by the world, remained motionless.
The gray phantom that emerged from his body was like a loyal guardian spirit, blocking all of Luffy's super-fast punches that Smoker and others could hardly detect even with their observation Haki. If you look closely, you will find that each of Luffy's punches is wrapped with red and black ripples like ribbons, and every time Lynch's gray stand stretched out his hand to block, it did not actually touch Luffy's fist. The impact of the high-density energy between the two, the pressure before the actual contact is far greater than the collision of fists, mutual repulsion, recoil, and air distortion.
The fierce battle was of shocking intensity, and there were many onlookers. Finch's mother and mother were also on the sidelines. In addition, Franky, Usopp, Chopper and others were all present. There was even a little elf dressed like a sailor sitting on Chopper's shoulder. It was Merry.
“It’s not over yet!”
Luffy's rubber fist extended backwards, but his sight was suddenly blocked by Lynch's palm - "Are you still so impulsive, revealing such a gap in front of me?" Lynch pushed gently.
Bang!!!!!!!!!!
Luffy flew backwards at least ten kilometers, dragging a ball of blazing steam with him - it was enough for him to fall into the sea outside the Trial Island.
"Isn't it a big deal if you fall into the sea, Athena?" Bellemeber looked over in surprise.
Smoker said expressionlessly: "A pirate drowned. Isn't that a good fate?"
"He is no longer a pirate, but a ranger, Marshal Smoker." Coby sighed.
"What a joke," Smoker said, "The Pirate King isn't a pirate?"
Coby looked back at the direction where Luffy was sent flying by Lynch's palm, "But there is really no need to worry about him. On the day of Mr. Lynch's wedding nineteen years ago, Mr. Luffy and all of them seemed to have solved the 'curse' of the devil fruit with the help of Mr. Lynch..." He retracted his gaze, "In fact, it is equivalent to today's 'psychic power'."
"Who worries about that guy?" Bellemere said dissatisfiedly.
"Psychic power..." Smoker snorted. In the beginning, due to the fanatical worship of the "Eight-armed Devil" by some people, they not only changed it to "Eight-armed Great Sage", but also called the ability obtained through Tianshan, which is similar to the previous devil fruit ability but without the weakness of being a landlubber, "Forest Power". Over time, "Forest Power" was called "Psychic Power".
“It’s my turn!”
A raging fire surged in the field, and the flames condensed into a tall figure with a raised beard, "The true body of the Flame Emperor..."
"Dad!" Zelda was surprised.
Twenty years later, Ace has grown a lot taller. His biological father Roger is 2.7 meters tall, so when he gets older, he won't be much shorter - this is actually the same for Luffy. Garp is close to 2.9 meters tall, Dragon is about 2.6 meters tall, and Luffy is now 2.5 meters tall, about the same as Lynch.
However, it is obvious that in this world, height is not strongly correlated with strength.
Ace quickly turned into a large flame and flew out...
"Xiao Da!" A woman with long white hair stood up from the crowd that had been gathered nearby to watch Zoro, Luffy, Ace and the others challenge Lynch. She had two horns on her head similar to Zelda's. It was Kaido's daughter Yamato. She had been away from Wano Country for many years, and she was no longer wearing the same kimono she once wore. Yamato smiled and waved to Vinci and the others, and Zelda quickly ran towards her mother.
Luffy went and came back, the seawater on his body had already evaporated by the high temperature, and he flew back over everyone's heads...
"Ms. Nami! Little Princess Aoharu! Princess Finch!" Sanji, with long golden hair and a strange golden beard that looked like braids, came over with a mountain of delicious food. "And the lovely Zelda, long time no see~~" Along with Sanji, there appeared the mermaid princess Shirahoshi who seemed to be helping in the kitchen. She was over 30 years old, and her original fish tail had differentiated into a human-like bipedal structure. She also wore a beautiful pink puffy skirt. Although it was super huge in size.
"Nami, Xiaoqi, Aqing~" Shirahoshi greeted happily.
Luffy and his friends fought their battles, while the spectators gathered together to chat about their own things.
"Why should I add a small word?" Aqing was slightly dissatisfied and followed Finch.
The giant snake was coiled up like a throne. The Snake Queen Hancock crossed her legs, resting her face on the back of her fists in boredom, glancing at her daughter and others who were approaching.
"Mother." Finch leaned over obediently. Hancock raised his hand and touched her face. He pinched his chin and looked around. Finch told her about the navy. Only then did Hancock notice Smoker and other navy officers who came with him. Hancock had no interest in responding to the navy's wishful thinking. She didn't tell them to go back to where they came from. She was giving her daughter some face.
Obviously, Smoker also understood that it was useless to reason with the empress, so he could only stay where he was in embarrassment and wait for Lynch and the others to finish fighting before talking to Lynch.
Finch ran over to Robin.
Robin put down the book in his hand, held Finch's hands, looked at his daughter whom he hadn't seen for two years, and said angrily, "You still remember to come back?"
"I'm sorry..." Finch was not as strong in front of Robin as he was in front of outsiders, nor was he as weak in front of his biological mother. He waved his hand like a spoiled child, and after saying a few words to Robin's mother, he asked, "Where's Link?"
"He got into trouble and is punishing himself." Robin said, picking up the book, opening it, pointing in a direction, and laughing, "This child is so scared that he dares not come out..."
Finch saw Zelda talking to her mother Yamato, so he went straight to find his brother Link, but Haru followed.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Aunt Robin is extremely evil, she must have tried to scare Link on purpose..." Ah Qing muttered beside him, and Finch gave her a sidelong look, "Although you're not wrong, you're not allowed to say that about her."
Ah Qing stuck out her tongue, and as she walked, she exclaimed in surprise, nudged Finch with her elbow, and pointed not far away.
Finch looked over and saw two white-haired figures sitting together on a quiet rock slope in front of a small waterfall, sometimes arguing and sometimes laughing with their arms around each other. One of them was nearly a hundred years old, and the other was also nearly a hundred years old.
"It's Luffy's grandfather, and Pluto Rayleigh." Aqing said in surprise, "So Garp is already here, don't Smoker and the others know?"
Suddenly, another person walked towards Garp and Rayleigh in front of the waterfall. The person sat down holding a huge wine gourd. It was Red-Haired Shanks - of course, Shanks, who was almost sixty years old, had red hair mixed with gray. His nickname "Red-Haired" had to be put in quotation marks.
Over there, the legendary figures of the past were having a small gathering, and behind them there were loud noises of fierce fighting. Finch and Aqing walked away on their own and soon found their target - the Castle Den Den Mushi. Today, Xiaolu is an old snail with a full face of white beard.
"See, I was right..." After seeing the situation outside the castle Den Den Mushi, Aqing lowered her voice and curled her lips at Finch, "Who wouldn't be scared?"
Finch said nothing, staring at the "girl" with blue braids who was squatting outside the castle Den Den Mushi, seemingly doing nothing, and quietly retracted his steps.
"Sis, are you serious about taking a step back?" Next to Finch and Aqing, petals rose from the ground and condensed into a boy who was half a head shorter than Aqing. He had the same black hair as his sister Finch, his mother Robin, his father Lynch, and his mother Hancock. He glared angrily, "Are you still brother and sister?"
"Do you want to play together?" The blue-haired braided "girl" squatting in front of the castle's Den Den Mushi turned her head. She was obviously a phantom ghost with strange cloud-like patterns on her body. Her face was painted in a weird style like most of the stand-ins, but she wore a pair of unique goggles in the position of her eyes. She said happily and frustratedly: "Everyone is broken, and I am broken too. No one likes me... I don't like myself either! Haha..."
"My mom is too cruel. I'm her biological son!" Link complained bitterly, "Why did she even send out her stand-in to scare me..."
"You deserve this! You just want to cause trouble." Finch threw a punch and smashed Link beside him into petals all over the sky. "You dare to use your flower clone to deal with me? I think you deserve a beating!"
"That's right." Aqing agreed, and when she noticed that the "girl" with blue braids was looking at her, she quickly hid behind Finch.
…
Robin did not make things too difficult for his son. After Lynch and the others finished a round and everyone gathered together to enjoy the grand banquet prepared by Sanji, he took the Stand back.
Only then did Link happily join the party with his sister Finch.
It was gradually getting dark, and the bonfire of the banquet on the Trial Island was swaying. Lynch heard about the mission that Finch accepted on his way back from the Navy through the Ranger Association. He smiled and said to Smoker, "It's fine for the Navy to merge into the 'Dragon Snake Flower', but as for whether to merge into the Ranger Association - how can you say that? The Ranger Association does not prohibit members of other organizations such as the Navy from joining, as long as they can meet the selection criteria."
They want the Navy to be packaged and merged into the Ranger Association. In the end, is the Navy losing or gaining?
Smoker and the others didn't say anything. Here, especially facing the man in front of them, they actually had no bargaining power.
"I'll just give Karp a favor." Lynch pointed at Hancock through the air, and a speck of blood the size of a speck of dust oozed out of Hancock's jade-like skin. In fact, Hancock was completely unaware of it, but she still glared at Lynch. Lynch drew the hair-like blood into his palm, and a gray ripple emerged, wrapping around the blood.
"Just a little blood of Athena?" Bellemer couldn't help but said, "We need Athena to remove the petrification, but there are four hundred Athena and sixty-seven Athena!!"
Lin Qi glanced at him. Judging from his accent, did this guy offend his daughter?
"That's enough." The gray waves in Lynch's palm turned into a gray human-shaped silhouette. He reached out and took away the blood of Hancock. Like a clone, he flew directly to the direction of Smoker's warship. "Okay, Smoker, since you are here too, you can stay and wait together... It's just right. If everything goes well, your old friends will probably come tomorrow."
Smoker was confused and didn't understand what he meant.
"What are you guys waiting for after all this long gathering?" Smoker looked around. Even Luffy, who was the most active at the bonfire party, seemed to be waiting for something to happen. Suddenly, a cold wind blew through the night, the fire shook violently, and a wisp of cold air spread. Lynch said, "Waiting for someone to return from the underworld..."
As everyone watched, a ball of pale green flame suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and soon formed the ghost of a skull with an Afro in the night.
"Yohohoho, Huangquan is such a scary place. Hey, why are you all looking at me? Yohoho, yohohoho…"
——
ps: Robin's stand is "Get Jinxed", a long-range automatic type.
Lynch's new stand "Guns For Hire" is a melee type with the ability "enlightenment", which can inject or modify the target's bloodline factors.
I wanted to make a special episode for the wedding, but I didn't get the permission. Maybe the book was a failure and the management didn't think highly of me... If it doesn't work, forget it. Anyway, the time and place of the wedding have been specifically mentioned in the ending chapter. In fact, it seems that there won't be any special content except for handing out candy or driving a car... The main event should be that Lynch, like handing out red envelopes at the wedding, melted the devil fruit abilities of many people who attended the wedding in the dojo:
Robin melted Flowey; Luffy melted rubber; Sanji melted gold; Nami melted Thunder; Zoro melted Yamata no Orochi; Franky melted Tun Tun; Chopper melted Bodhisattva; Usopp melted Phantom (the ability after fusion can be inherited, and Usopp thinks that the ability of transparency is too convenient for the offspring to do bad things. Afterwards, Sanji, who had melted gold before, dragged Usopp away and beat him up. If you don’t want to be transparent, you should have said so earlier!); Ace melted Shao Shao; Yamato melted the Great Mouth Shinto; Otama melted the Black Dragon; Tama melted lava; Dragon melted the weather; Kerala melted the gas; Sanda melted the Flying Snake; Mary melted the Power Snake...
I will try to finish the postscript tomorrow!
