Epilogue of Chapter 878 [Brooke's Disappearance]

In front of the Dragon Palace on Fishman Island, three flags were fluttering in the wind among the bubbles that occasionally flew around.

The middle flag is the Dragon Palace Kingdom's dragon flag. The left and right flags represent the Ranger Association and the Dragon Snake Flower Alliance. The former is a flag with three lilies, while the latter is a dragon and a snake intertwined with a dark blue Dinghaishenzhen, with petals and ripples as the base...

Shark Star, who was already the king of Dragon Palace, walked out of Dragon Palace and looked at the back of Fishman Island. That was where the branch campus of Ranger University was located. There was the School of Astronomy and Climate founded by Nami, and... the Business School. Fishman Island's world-famous tourism industry also promoted the development of tourism majors under the Business School.

As far as Shark Star knows, the Weather Queen has been planning for years, using the world map she drew to select locations everywhere, preparing to open branch academies around the world. She wants to work with Usopp, Chopper, Franky and others to promote Ranger University, or Lily Academy to the world, and officially start annual extensive enrollment, not just limited to the current recommendation admission system.

By the way, Nami also founded the School of Physics with Franky, but it was set up at the main campus of Ranger University in the Mirror World, not in any corner of this world.

Shark Star stroked the "mobile phone" made of Franky alloy in his hand, imagining the electromagnetic signal it was connected to. With the help of the six Tianshan Mountains standing in the four seas of the southeast, northwest, paradise and the new world as giant signal towers, and the artificial satellites floating in outer space at this moment, a huge network covering the entire planet was built together...

In just 20 years, everything has changed so much. It seems that new things emerge every day, rushing into everyone's attention like a tide through the convenient Internet. The world changes so fast every day that Shark Star can no longer remember what it was like in the past. More than a decade ago, his two younger brothers did not become otakus who stayed in the Dragon Palace and immersed themselves in the Internet world all day long...

Fortunately, my sister Shirahoshi is not like the two useless brothers...

"Shirahoshi is in Kujaku. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and the others are all here too, little Dada, your parents are here too." On the beach of Mermaid Bay, Nami hugged Finch and smiled at Aqing and Zelda. Zelda greeted her by calling "Aunt Nami", but Nami corrected her to "Sister Nami". Nami pinched Finch's nose, "I came here specially to pick you up, little Kiki, did you miss me?"

"Haha! I will miss you?" Finch said disdainfully, "Also, don't touch me..." She struggled a little, "Why do you always like to tease me?"

Nami laughed and said, "Because you look so much like your mother!"

Ah Qing asked in confusion: "What kind of reason is this?"

"How dare I lay my hands on the Empress sister..." Nami's face said "Do you even need to ask?", causing Finch to roll his eyes and said unhappily: "You came to pick me up specifically, why didn't you pick me up in the Kingdom of Flowers?"

Nami said happily: "Of course it's because Fishman Island is more fun!"

"Hey!" Aqing was unhappy.

Finch asked, "Charlie said that my father asked her for divination five years ago, and today is the day predicted by the divination. So many people gathered at Nine Snakes, even Shirahoshi went, is it all because of this matter?"

"Yes." Nami put on brown sunglasses and looked at the mermaids who were still performing and the lively crowd. "Brooke has been missing for six years. Your father predicted this five years ago... Brook may reappear today." She turned around and smiled, "Chopper and I have prepared something good for him."

"Good stuff?" Finch was confused. "I've only been away for more than two years. How come so many things seem to have happened at home that I don't know about?"

Nami laughed, "Anyway, let's go to Kujaku together."

She raised her hand and released a bolt of lightning into the sky, calling upon the thundercloud Hela who was resting in the sky. Finch reminded her, "We are not the only ones going to Nine Snakes..."

Not long after, Nami followed Finch and others to the port. The warship had obtained permission to pass and had been waiting at the entrance of the high-speed ocean current leading to the Nine Snakes for a long time.

"Smoker? Coby?" Nami boarded the warship and saw an old acquaintance. She took off her brown sunglasses in surprise, "And..."

"It's Bellemeber!" Bellemeber reminded dissatisfiedly.

The more people he met, especially Nami, who was in the enemy camp twenty years ago, the more uncomfortable Smoker felt. He crossed his arms with a stern face and commanded: "Set sail."

The warship started up and sailed into the high-speed ocean current, heading towards the clockwise circular ocean current, leaving Fishman Island and speeding towards Nine Snake Island.

Nami expressed her understanding of Smoker's manly dignity and other things, and she also had some understanding of the increasingly difficult situation the navy was facing. So when faced with Smoker and the others' lukewarm attitude, she just smiled and didn't point it out. She pulled Finch, Haru, and Zelda, who was curious about everything, to chat.

When talking about the recent commotion Link caused in the Mirror World, Nami said, "Don't worry, your father has already taught him a lesson, and he should still be under house arrest in the Nine Snakes."

"How can just confinement be enough?" Finch snapped his nails. "He needs to be taken good care of..."

"Link seems to have asked to be grounded..." Nami put a finger on her chin. Although she was forty years old, she had the cuteness of a young girl. "Or should I say, he asked to be grounded?"

Zelda looked curious. It sounded like this Link wasn't completely a naughty boy. He still knew how to take responsibility.

Nami smiled and said, "I think that boy is afraid that his mother will find out about the trouble he has caused, so he put on such a pitiful attitude in advance... He seems to be afraid that Sister Robin will release a substitute to punish him."

Finch laughed. Link did have a deep psychological trauma from the substitute of Robin's mother.

Although she didn't want to admit it, this feeling was similar to her resistance to Link's Stand...

Suddenly, Finch keenly caught the laughter of some marines not far from the warship deck, which was faintly filled with disdain, ridicule, and indignation? She squinted and glanced at the marines. The one in the crowd was the admiral named Bei who was with Smoker before? The laughter of these people was directed at her brother Link... There was no doubt that some of them had heard a little bit of their conversation here.

"How can a spoiled young master know the hardships of life?"

Bellemeber was still sneer-ing in a low voice, when he caught a glimpse of "Miss Lin" suddenly leaving Nami and the others and walking towards them.

Bellemeber's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he quickly changed the subject.

He raised his voice, boasting to the marines around him and reminiscing about the past, "You guys, don't look at me like this now. Think about the world's number one swordsman, Roronoa Zoro, known as the King of Hell. I told him to stay still, but he wouldn't move. I told him to starve, but he wouldn't eat..."

"You're good at observation, aren't you?" It was Miss Lin's voice with a sneer.

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Bellemeber's forehead, but he dared not look directly into her eyes - if there was anyone in this era who had learned the most profound bloody lesson about the Eyes of Medusa, it would certainly be them, the navy!

However, a gray humanoid ghost had floated in at some point and punched Belumebear on the head with an expressionless face.

Bang! Finch stood a few meters away with her arms folded. It was obvious that she could ridicule her brother as much as she wanted, but how could an outsider, a stinky navy, dare to say anything? With a thought, her gray-white stand caught up with the beaten Bellemer, preparing to deliver a second punch, but was blocked by Smoker, who arrived in time and raised his ten hands wrapped in dark domineering aura.

Such a strong force... Smoker felt the great pressure on the Ten Hands and was secretly shocked. It seems that Miss Lin can become the Three Flower Ranger not just because she is the daughter of Lynch! At the same time, an invisible sense of oppression weighed heavily on everyone. Many marines who were already panicked by Finch's sudden attack directly half-knelt on the ground with pale faces, and were supported by Coby who came over with a sullen face to stand firm, and withstood the impact of the domineering aura of the Princess of the Nine Snakes, the daughter of Lynch and the Pirate Queen.

"He got hit and learned his lesson." Nami then held Finch's shoulders and tried to persuade him to stop.

Finch's domineering aura quietly dissipated, and the ten-handed humanoid substitute in front of him that was pressing down on Smoker with a punch also turned into a gray-white stream of light and retreated into Finch's body.

Smoker seemed to be about to say something, but Finch turned around and went to the stern of the warship, not bothering to pay attention to him.

Aqing didn't care and followed Finch.

Zelda looked around, felt embarrassed for the marines, and followed Finch and Qing.

Nami smiled and comforted, "Smoker, Coby, at least this way, the possibility of Lynch agreeing to your request has increased, isn't it?"

"I can hear it!" Finch said in dissatisfaction from a distance.

Smoker and the others looked even more unhappy. Bellemer rubbed his head and climbed up, "Really? Athena, then the punch I took was worth it!" He was very proud, "If Athena can make that Lynch 'wrong', Athena, even if it can increase the possibility of Athena making him and the Empress give in a little bit, Athena, no matter how many punches Athena, I am willing to take, Athena!" Having said that, although the punch just now was quite painful, compared with Mr. Garp's iron fist back then, it was nothing - hiss, it was nothing! "..."

Bellemer suddenly realized that Smoker, Coby, and the other marines were looking at him with strange eyes. And Nami looked at him with more... pity? "You are too naive." Nami held her forehead and sighed, "That punch just now was not an ordinary punch..."

Smoker's face suddenly turned ugly. He realized that the phantom that emerged from Finch just now was almost identical to the phantom that appeared beside Lynch back then! Is this the so-called Stand ability in the rumors? "What exactly is her... Stand ability?" Smoker stared at Nami and asked.

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

Bellemere panicked, "What what Athena? What are you talking about Athena Athena Athena?"

Coby's face changed drastically, Smoker's expression was so gloomy that it looked like it was going to rain, and only Bellemer seemed to still know nothing, puzzled by the changes in the expressions of others, "Athena..."

Nami sighed, "Luckily, you were only hit by her Stand, so the impact wasn't that great. As long as... the people around you don't mind the word 'Athena' that frequently appears in your mouth."

Bellemer had no idea what Nami was saying, and he didn't even realize that there were so many meaningless words like "Athena" mixed in with what he had just said.

Smoker took a deep breath and asked, "Can you explain it more clearly?"

Coby said anxiously: "Nami, please, what will happen to Bellemer?"

"I told you, if it's just one punch, there will only be a slight language disorder. It's not a big impact." Nami waved her hand, "If you get hit by a second punch, a third punch..." She took a deep look at Bellemer, whose face was getting worse and worse and full of question marks, "Until the end, the consciousness of the person attacked by her Stand will be completely filled with the image of 'Athena', and there will be no room for any other thoughts, no ability to think about anything else, and only the mumbling of the word 'Athena' will remain in their mouth."

Knowing that Nami had gone far away, Smoker and the others were still shocked by the terrifying ability of "Lin Qi" and it took them a long time to recover.

"Hurry up, Athena, look over there!" Bellemeber suddenly pointed to the front of the warship.

"..." Smoker and Coby looked at each other helplessly and tiredly when they heard the word "Athena" coming out of his mouth. For the time being, they could only deliberately ignore Bellemer who was used to speaking in this style. They looked in the direction Bellemer pointed - in front of them, the Nine Snake Islands were in sight. Above the twin islands, the clouds in the sky were slowly parting, like waves being parted...

"Who's fighting?" Smoker muttered to himself, "Lynch?"

…

When the warship was slowly docking at the port of Women's Island among the Nine Snake Islands, a ship flying the Dragon Snake Flower Flag and the Nine Snake Flag just happened to leave the port.

"Princess, you're back."

"Princess~"

"Princess Qing~~"

"Lady Nami!"

The Amazon Lily warriors on the ship smiled and waved to Finch and the others on the warship. Finch ignored them, but Aqing and Nami smiled and waved back. Zelda followed cutely. When she got off the warship, she heard the voice of a strange woman above her head again: "Xiaofen, welcome back."

Nami looked up and smiled, "Hi, Sanda, Mary."

In the air, two clouds of fire, Artemis and Ares, carried Sandasonia and Marigrud, the two younger sisters of the Nine Snake Queen.

Finch raised his chin to greet his two aunts.

Sanda and Mary didn't take it seriously, as their older sister had had almost the same personality since she was a child.

"Let's go, everyone is here." Sanda didn't get off the Fire Cloud Artemis, pointing to the other side of the Women's Island, "The ones fighting now should be..."

Boom…!!

On another trial island surrounded by ferocious beasts, ripples of lightning-like power rose into the sky, making the sky above everyone's heads even more chaotic.

Even on this neighboring island, one could feel the ground shaking slightly. The Amazon warriors on the Women's Island seemed to have long been accustomed to this level of battle aftermath.

"Is it Sauron?" Finch raised an eyebrow, "Has he not given up challenging my father yet?"

"Neither of them gave up." Nami smiled, "Luffy is the same. Your father is the most powerful. For Luffy, Zoro and the others, there is no more challenging goal in the world!"

"Let's go." Finch said, jumping onto Sanda's fire cloud, "By the way, where's Link?"

"Him..." Sanda said with a low laugh, urging the fire cloud to fly away with Finch.

Aqing jumped onto Mary's fire cloud. Nami pulled Zelda to sit on her own thundercloud Hela. Smoker and the others looked at each other, ran with gloomy faces, followed the clouds, and jumped to the opposite bank, which was once called Ruskaina Island, to find Lynch...
