Dark and gloomy side street.
The homeless-looking guy huddled in the corner. Several members in black suits gathered around, swearing and punching and kicking him.
The homeless man held his head silently and curled up to endure.
“The day after tomorrow at the latest, if you can’t pay back the money, you will be dead.” The black suit took a sip and said with a sinister smile, “Throw you into the sea, you may be lucky enough to catch one or two fishmen to pay back the money. Where’s the money?”
“Hahahaha!”
A few people in black suits laughed and walked away.
“Ouch…”
The homeless man let out a cry of pain and got up with difficulty. At this time, a pair of shoes appeared in front of me. He raised his dirty face and saw the figure of a young man standing in front of him through his greasy and sticky hair.
The young man knelt down and looked at him with squinted eyes.
[“Who is vomiting on the deck?! Hey, Lynch, go clean up!”]
Lin Qi had a “war armor headset” embedded in his ear, and a virtual screen unfolded in front of his eyes, playing back a fragment of the memory of the original owner of the body found by “B.I.B”.
In the picture, the person cursing at “him” looks exactly like the homeless man in front of him.
This is the original Lin Qi who was on the pirate ship after running away from home.
Later, the group of pirates were hunted down and killed. The original owner of the body was lucky enough to fall into the sea and drifted, eventually drifting to South Chicago Island. It’s a pity that he is a child after all, wandering in the wind and rain, his body can’t bear it, he is seriously injured and sick, he dies on the roadside, and is thrown into the garbage dump like a dead dog, waiting to stink… Then Lynch comes through time, with vigorous vitality. This body is infused with new energy.
“Lynch?”
The homeless man pulled back his greasy hair from his face and said in disbelief.
“It’s me.” Lin Qi said.
He stretched out his hand to the side, and “B.I.B” flew from a distance and threw several warm wallets into the main body’s hand.
Opening the wallets he borrowed from those in black suits, Lynch casually flipped through them, took out the cash notes and handed them to the sloppy and greasy homeless man in front of him.
“How did you become such a virtuous person?”
“How is it possible…” The homeless man held a few fresh thick stacks of banknotes with his dirty hands blankly, “How are you still alive?”
“You have better luck!” Lin Qi said nonchalantly, “What about you, how come you are still alive?”
The homeless man looked down at himself and smiled bitterly: “Am I still alive?”
………………
Outside the restaurant, Lynch asked the boss for a table to set up outside to entertain the homeless man, his former shipmate.
Moreover, the macho giant Morrie in a skirt also came to enjoy the meal of the wealthy dog owner Lynch.
“Why do you always look at other people?” Morrie held a huge roasted cow and bit into it. Seeing that the homeless man always looked up at him, he coquettishly asked, “Do you like me too?”
The tramp shuddered and continued to answer Lynch’s question, “…I was lucky enough to float away holding a piece of broken wood. Then I floated to this island and never left.”
“Why don’t you leave?” Lynch asked, “Would you rather be bullied by gangs on this island? No way.”
The tramp smiled bitterly and said: “This is better than being… discovered by that person and being hunted down again, right?”
Lin Qi said in astonishment: “Is it that exaggerated? It’s been a long time ago, how could that guy still remember! Even if he remembers, he may not be able to find you, can he recognize you?”
“You underestimate that…terrible man!” the homeless man said in frustration, “He is called the ‘Devil Sheriff’ because of his…perverted personality! We must arrest him He always fights to the death of his targets. No matter how far they go, they will never be able to escape his pursuit…”
No, the Devil Sheriff can fly! In this sea, there is someone who can fly. I don’t know how much advantage it takes.
“It’s even more impossible for him to forget our appearance!” The tramp said with a bitter smile, “It is said that he will never forget the appearance of the people he has seen with his eyes…”
“Are you talking about the ‘Devil Sheriff’ Lafayette?” Morrie suddenly tilted his head and came down.
The homeless man was startled and almost got under the table. Lin Qi said: “Yes.”
“So you have been captured by him before…” Mori said to himself, “I heard that he has bird-like Devil Fruit abilities! And he is also a very famous hypnosis master in the West Sea! With his hypnosis level , it is indeed impossible to forget the face of anyone he has ever seen… Rumor has it that he likes to use hypnosis to torture criminals.”
The homeless man’s face turned pale and he was trembling with fear.
This psychological shadow is big enough! Lin Qi sighed secretly.
“This person can fly, has an invincible memory, is also a devil police chief, and has no shortage of information channels. It really looks scary!” Lynch pondered, “But after I survived by chance, I also Xihai has been wandering around for several months, why didn’t he come to arrest me?”
The homeless man’s eyes lit up, maybe… the rumors about the devil police chief were exaggerated? There is no danger in escaping this island?
Morrie said: “Perhaps the person you said threw you into the trash…is Lafayette himself!”
The tramp trembled and said: “Absolutely right! He must have confirmed your death before crossing out your name…”
Lin Qi looked back at the pale, perverted face that remained in the memory of the original owner of the body, and thought about the plot of Lafayette in the comics… What a troublesome guy!
“Finally, do you remember who I am?”
Lynch tapped her fingers on the table.
The homeless man was stunned.
“After I recovered by luck, I forgot a lot of things in my head…” Lynch knocked on his temple and said nonchalantly, “Have I told you before, where do I come from? My hometown… Which island is it on? ”
The tramp was confused for a moment, frowned in thought, and said hesitantly: “I… Lasgap Island, maybe? You seem to be… going to sea to find something.”
“What are you looking for?”
“I don’t remember this.”
“I don’t remember…” Lin Qi stopped tapping his finger on the table, “Forget it.”
………………
The tramp is gone.
Whether he spent the money Lynch gave him on gambling or drinking, or whether he actually used it to repay the money… it was none of Lynch’s business.
It’s not Lynch’s money anyway.
“Then, next is this pirate group!”
On the coast, Lynch unfolded a chart of the West Sea on the ground, pointed at an area, and said to Mori beside him, “It is said that they have been in this area recently. If we go there now, we should be able to catch them.” Follow them! ”
“It’s no problem to catch pirates.” Mori pointed at the orchid, “You know your hometown is on Rath Gap Island, right? Don’t you want to go back and have a look?”
Lin Qi lowered his head and looked at the corner of the chart. Rath Gap Island… Geographically speaking, the location is very similar to the island where Rogge Town is located in the East China Sea. They are all the places closest to the intersection of the Grand Line.
“Let’s talk about this later!”
………………
Morrie was about to dig a hole and advance under the seabed as before, when Lynch stopped him.
“I have a new idea.” Lynch smiled, “How’s your swimming level?”
He waved his hand. “B.I.B” was wrapped in dark substitute energy, flew to Mori, and took out the push fruit chip from his body.
“…” Mori looked at his big hands and smiled honestly, “It was you who saved me before!”
Lin Qi also smiled, “Sure enough, you have noticed it a long time ago.”
“No problem, I’m a very good swimmer~!” Morrie gave a thumbs up, cheered, and jumped into the sea, causing huge waves and covering Lynch on the shore.
“…” Lin Qi, who had the fruit of being in charge, felt slightly uncomfortable. He walked to the beach and put a hand into the water.
The Guan Guan fruit ability is activated…
Using his hand that reached into the water as the starting point, a circular channel was opened horizontally under the sea surface.
Lin Qi kept his hand immersed in the water, maintaining his ability, and jumped into the sea himself. When he came to the straight channel created by the ability, he had to pass through it again, falling into a deeper sea, and then he was trapped by the sea, unable to When he exerted his strength… a dark “ghost” flew over at the right time, appeared beside him, and hugged him by the shoulders.
In this way, Lynch was “suspended” in the straight channel below the sea surface, with only one hand reaching into the water outside the channel to maintain the stability of the channel.
“B.I.B” holds the main body and flies forward very effortlessly through the passage created by Guan Guan Fruit.
Morrie, who was swimming freestyle side by side, couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw this scene.
