[Chapter serial series・Young Hunter 2・『…………』]
[A figure flying across the sea with spread wings. The man’s face was unusually pale. He wore a half-high silk top hat, no eyebrows, and red lips that looked like they were stained with blood. He wore straight black trousers, and his arms turned into white wings. He was looking at the news bird that was also fluttering and hovering in front of him, with big eyes and small eyes. I stared at him for a while. They can’t spare their wings to get newspapers…]
———————————
“How old are you this year?”
“I look like an 11-year-old kid on the outside, but my wisdom is different from ordinary people. I’m probably 20 or 30 years old on the inside.”
“Haha, you really know how to joke. But this courage should be the reason why you can hunt pirates at a young age, right?”
“Just say so.”
“As far as I know, the first pirate you hunted only had a bounty of 130,000 beli, and the current highest record is 1 million beli. Why is there such a gap? It’s because of the initial action I was more cautious at that time, but later I realized that the so-called pirates were actually nothing more than that. Have you ever thought about hunting those pirates worth millions of Baileys, or even more than 10 million Baileys, like the mysterious one recently? Thief Hunter – Like Jotaro Kujo.”
“Jotaro is my idol.”
The table in the hotel was filled with a delicious feast of crocodile meat. Lynch was sitting on one side, the reporter from “The World” was sitting on one side, and “B.I.B” was on the other side.
Lin Qi said while eating: “It’s not that I’m being cautious, but that I was only able to beat that at the beginning… As for why it was raised to 1 million Baileys, of course it’s because I’ve become better!”
The reporter smiled and didn’t believe it. How could anyone go from hunting weak pirates with 130,000 beli to hunting less weak pirates with 1 million beli in just a few days?
And looking at the young man, he looked like he had never been hurt before.
What an amazing young genius.
“Have you ever thought about joining the navy?” the reporter asked, “Given your age, it’s probably not too late to enlist now. With your ability at such a young age, I’m afraid it’s not too late.” , and with a resume of hunting pirates, I might become a naval admiral in the future!”
Lynch was too lazy to pay attention to him, and tapped the edge of the plate with a meat bone, shouting: “I, Giorno, will starve to death,” holding up the meat bone, “I can’t do anything in the navy even if I jump into the sea from here!”
The reporter didn’t know why and continued to ask questions. Lynch was casually perfunctory. Finally, the reporter took out his camera and took a few photos of him “clicking” and “clicking”.
“Your news is very interesting. It should be published in the newspaper. Pay attention to the latest newspapers.” The reporter smiled gracefully, put down a few banknotes, stood up and left.
……
Poof, Lynch spit out a meat bone, and it was time to leave the island.
He was thinking this and taking a look around the store while eating, when he suddenly noticed a short old man who looked slightly familiar at a table not far away.
“Who is here…” Lin Qi frowned and thought while chewing the crocodile meat.
I gave up after thinking about it halfway and directly asked the memory bank I carry with me. “Hey, B, who is that old man?” He moved his mouth full of greasy food in that direction.
“B.I.B” locked onto the person pointed by its body, its eyes glowing with white light flashed, and quickly replied: “I met him in South Chicago Island. He was an old steward of a merchant ship… Others called him Old Henry.” . 』
“Oh!” Lynch remembered, and immediately waved the meat bones and greeted cheerfully over there, “Grandpa Henry! This way!”
At the same time, Lynch grabbed a few bills left by the reporter and said, “Waiter, please give me some more! I’m treating you.”
……
“You are?”
Several people at Old Henry’s table came over and looked at the black-haired boy suspiciously.
“I’m Giorno, we met before in South Chicago Island!” Lynch said with a smile, “You’re welcome, I’ll take this table. Crocodile meat is delicious!”
Old Henry was still very confused at first, but now he saw Lin Qi’s eating appearance and immediately had an impression.
“So it’s you.” He didn’t remember the boy’s name, but he often saw such a particularly good-looking boy in bars and restaurants on South Chicago Island.
“Giorno?” The others were immediately stunned, “No way, is it that Giorno?” “A young hunter who is quite famous on this island these days?” “Is it him?” “So It’s edible, so that’s right…”
“Where is the big guy who is always with you, and the other little guy?” Old Henry looked around and saw that this boy was indeed the only one.
The waiter brought another bunch of signature dishes and various drinks, and Lin Qi said with emotion: “There are dreams in life, and each of them is wonderful!”
“Huh?” Old Henry and others were confused.
Lin Qi continued: “Grandpa Henry, can I leave on your merchant ship? I want to go somewhere else recently to see if there are any suitable pirates to play with…”
……
With the help of the young hunter and a little help from Bailey, Lynch negotiated with the people on the merchant ship about taking the ship.
However, they are not leaving today. They have to wait until the merchant ship is taken care of before lifting anchor and sailing to the next island tomorrow morning.
In this case, Lynch went back to the hotel first and packed his things-mainly money.
There is no electronic payment in this pirate world. Fortunately, the banknotes are large enough, otherwise he would be in trouble if he carried tens of millions or hundreds of millions in cash with him.
Due to the efforts of “Jotaro Kujo” during the recent period, Lynch carried too much cash, and his original backpack could not hold it at all.
Lin Qi was too lazy to go shopping, so he asked “B.I.B” to follow suit, put on a large windbreaker, a hood and a star mask, and went to the street to buy a bigger suitcase.
As for himself, he played with the green phone bug and ran to the woods to have fun.
“I shouldn’t be able to learn how to change body color.” Lin Qi put Xiaolu on the stone again, clasped his hands together and said, “But – how do you harden your body? It’s like ‘shaving’ I have an idea of how to have enough power to explode, but I have no idea how to harden the body and strengthen its defense…”
The green phone bug expresses confusion, “Bulu Bulu?”
What nonsense are you asking? Aren’t they all things you are born with? Do you still need to learn those things?
Human beings are so strange!
……
On the street, the highly recognizable “B.I.B” went shopping, and pedestrians on the roadside got out of the way.
“Hey, did you see it? Isn’t that…Jotaro Kujo?”
“The star mask…it is indeed him!”
“What a scary momentum!”
“She is indeed as taciturn as the rumors say!”
“Does he want to buy a box? Well, the boss’s legs are trembling…”
『B.I.B』 entered the store in a taciturn manner, and came out carrying a new box with the store owner’s expression on his face. Along the way, it observed every face, printed it into the “memory bank”, and compared it with the “Western Sea Pirate Bounty Book”… There were indeed people in the crowd who were so frightened that they quickly bowed their heads and walked away. “B.I.B” thought about it and decided that it was not suitable for hunting while wearing clothes and carrying a box, so it was better not to clutter the main body.
Old Henry and the others were also in the crowd, looking at the tall figure with a fluttering windbreaker, and smacked his lips and said: “It would be great if we had such a bounty hunter as a guard on the ship! We wouldn’t have to worry every time we go to sea. I’m afraid of meeting the pirates…”
“This Kujo Jotaro single-handedly wiped out a pirate group with tens of millions in bounties on his head,” his companion said sincerely, “We can’t afford such a master.”
……
Phone bugs don’t actually talk.
In other words, they do not understand human language.
What they say when they talk on the phone is completely imitated by interpreting what the phone bug on the other end hears and sees through the bio-waves coming from the other end.
Therefore, it is certainly impossible for the green phone bug to guide Lynch by mouthing human words.
It has never even imitated Lynch’s words clearly like a parrot. Perhaps the only thing the phone bug can imitate is the radio waves of the same phone bug.
But it can’t teach, Lynch can learn.
With a malicious look on his face, he stretched out his fingers, held down the green phone bug, and poked it back and forth.
Little Green was angry when he was poked, so he opened his mouth and bit him.
Unable to bite, he was so angry that he could only harden his body to defend himself.
Lin Qi poked the phone bug that was originally soft and felt the difference immediately.
Lin Qi carefully touched the differences.
I recalled in my mind the posture of the antelope woman on the flower boat when she hardened her body and used the “iron block” of the six postures to defend herself against the sword.
“I have to say, this trick is really salty…” Lin Qi sighed, “It’s really hard for aunt’s 43 husbands…”
After practicing iron weights in the woods for most of the day, he was exhausted, and Lynch returned to the hotel.
After all, the flowers by the window are not made by flowers and fruits, and they cannot bloom brightly anytime and anywhere. At this moment, the bunch of flowers by the window has turned yellow and gradually withered.
Lin Qi heated up a glass of milk and twisted two halves of the yellowed petals.
After sniffing it, he smacked his lips and said, “Flowers with flowers and fruits are more fragrant!”
Drink it in one gulp and sleep.
……
The next day, Lynch carried a bag and a big box and came to the port and saw Old Henry and his two-masted merchant ship.
“Giorno, here!”
“Morning, come up quickly!”
The people I met in the hotel yesterday greeted Lynch on the boat.
Lynch stepped on the long pedal, carried a bag on his back, and carried a large box with one hand, and walked steadily to the deck.
As soon as the crew saw the arc of the pedal bending when he stepped on it, they knew that the box in this boy’s hand was very heavy!
“This box is very heavy, let me help you carry it!” A sailor came over with a smile, “Come, uncle will take you to the cabin, your room.”
Lin Qi smiled when he saw this, “Okay.”
He handed the box to the man. The latter’s hand immediately felt heavy and he said in surprise: “Oh, it’s really heavy.”
Others also laughed and joked: “Isn’t the box full of stone toys?”
Lin Qi said: “It’s all money.”
As soon as these words came out, not only those who helped carry the box, but also the others’ expressions changed slightly, and their eyes quickly and secretly touched each other’s eyes silently.
“Come on, come on, uncles and brothers will take you to the cabin!”
“Don’t be tired…”
Lin Qi seemed unaware and walked forward with a relaxed expression.
Meet old Henry on the road. Old Henry frowned with his white eyebrows and asked, “What are you making such a fuss about?”
Lin Qi smiled and said: “My uncles and brothers know that my box of money is very heavy, so they are all helping me carry it.”
The enthusiastic sailors suddenly laughed and fell silent.
“Good-for-nothing!” Old Henry scolded, “Let a child see a joke!”
The sailors didn’t take it seriously. They asked this kid to suffer a small loss to save him from suffering a big loss in the future. What’s the matter with a little reward?
Lynch smiled and asked: “Grandpa Henry, where is the place down here?”
He stepped on the cabin floor beneath his feet.
Old Henry was stunned, thought for a moment, and replied: “I remember it was the utility room. It was quite messy. No one went there… What do you want to do?”
“Oh!” Lynch turned around, took the big box from the enthusiastic sailors, and waved with a smile, “Thank you for your hard work, bye~”
Just when the enthusiastic sailors were full of surprise, Lynch’s foot lightly stepped on the floor.
Boom——
The floor beneath the sailors’ feet immediately opened up with a huge hole, and several people fell down.
Booming, banging, falling to the ground, debris being knocked over, and cries of pain all coming one after another. As the huge hole in the floor quickly closed, all the sounds in the cabin below suddenly stopped, as if they were muffled into the sea.
“You…this…?!” Old Henry was stunned and froze on the spot.
……
Cutting through the waves, merchant ships moved forward on the sea.
Lynch packed up his luggage and returned to the deck to get some air.
The sailors gathered together in disgrace. Seeing Lynch’s appearance, some wanted to rush over angrily and teach him a lesson, while others were frightened and stayed away from him.
“Want to fight?” Lynch lay on the side of the boat and blew in the sea breeze.
On the deck next to him, the dark “ghost” that no one can see is meticulously doing daily exercises.
“Come back!” Someone pulled the angry sailor and reminded him, “He is the one who solved the pirate with a bounty of 1 million…”
The sailor’s face was covered with dust, and he said disdainfully: “What are you bragging about? It must be like just now, using some magic, just opportunistic… With his small arms and legs, I can crush them both to death with one hand. ! ”
In less than half a minute, the deck trembled with a “rumbling”, and the sailor with his **** in the air told others from personal experience that he could not kill two Lynches with one hand.
On the other hand, Lin Qi stepped out of the way and taught him a lesson easily in front of everyone.
“This is so embarrassing!” Old Henry rushed over and cursed angrily, “Who wants to be rude to Giorno? You can! If you lose, just admit defeat and get out of the boat!”
He blew his beard and glared, shouting: “Go to the sea!”
“Really?” Lin Qi perked up as soon as he heard this, “This is so exciting! Come on, come on, do you want to fight?”
He eagerly approached the sailors.
The sailors immediately dispersed and slipped away. Lynch laughed.
Old Henry looked at the young man, and after a while, asked: “Have you… eaten a ‘Devil Fruit’?”
Lin Qi smiled and said, “Yes.”
Why don’t you ask me how I know about devil fruits? Old Henry kept the words in his stomach and felt a little frustrated. Finally, he sighed with emotion: “What an amazing young man!” No wonder he could defeat the pirates on his own.
……
There was a strange chirping sound coming from the distant sea, very dull and distant.
Lynch, like everyone else on the deck, stopped and turned to look.
I saw the sea surface breaking open, and a black whale as big as a hill came out, followed closely by the second, and the third… bustling, a dozen huge black whales floated to the surface, roaring in unison, and then behind Beams of water mist sprayed out one after another.
Farther away on the horizon, the evening sun was half sinking into the sea. More than a dozen lines of water mist sprayed high and dispersed, refracting the setting sun and dispersing into colorful and blurred rainbows.
“It’s a rare sight!”
“It’s a symbol of luck. This voyage will go smoothly!”
The sailors on the deck cheered, some took off their clothes and waved at the dozen black whale shadows in the rainbow over there, and some whistled happily.
Old Henry said next to Lynch: “That’s the island whale…”
Lin Qi was also watching the sunset rainbow created by a dozen island whales on the sea.
“A long time ago, there was a group of guys who were good partners with a small island whale…” Old Henry murmured to himself, “I don’t know what happened to those people now!”
Lin Qi said: “Still on the sea of dreams.”
