[Chapter Series·The Third Woman’s Country 5·”The short old woman does not trust this group of female pirates”]
[When Haiina and the four of them were supplying supplies along the way, the short old woman followed them closely, with a look of distrust and vigilance on her face. Koyatel, Gabord, and Kamui didn’t care about such an old woman, but they suddenly remembered something and talked to Heina with interest about how they followed Nicole Robin and the others to Nine Snake Island. What happened in the land of women… The short old woman nearby was stunned when she heard it. ]–
A ball of black hair, like black seaweed, spread and fluttered in the warm water of the spacious bathtub.
Hancock, who was completely immersed in the water, blinked. The voices of Lynch and Robin, who were speaking to her across the water, sounded farther away than they really were, flowing into her ears like water: “…How do you feel?”
Hancock couldn’t speak, but he answered with actions.
Her long hair instantly turned into countless snake hairs swimming in the water like dark clouds, and her face became even more seductive. There was a circle of eye shadow around her dark golden snake pupils.
Wow!
Hancock raised his head and broke through the water, with his head exposed and leaning on the edge of the bathtub. He exhaled a long breath and said in surprise: “It’s true! I obviously still have the ability of Medusa, but I can’t be restrained by water. ”
Even though her whole body was immersed in the water, she didn’t feel the same powerlessness she had before when a person with abilities fell into the sea.
In other words, Hancock has eliminated the biggest weakness of Devil Fruit users.
And…
Lynch and Robin looked at each other. Lynch had been unable to remove the Medusa Fruit from Hancock’s body before, and believed that the Devil Fruit ability in her body was equivalent to “disappearing”, which means…
With Hancock now, I’m afraid even Im can’t use the method of making the same kind of devil fruit to take away Hancock’s ability from the air.
This is undoubtedly a good thing, Hancock’s safety is more guaranteed.
But naturally there is a problem.
Why is this happening?
“Is it because…” Lin Qi sat by the bathtub, touching his chin with a solemn expression, “Is it full?”
Dang! Hancock blushed and punched him in the back of the head.
Dr. Robin had a professional researcher spirit and shook his head: “How could this be the reason?”
Before Hancock could nod his head in approval, Robin continued: “What time was it not? There has never been such a change before, but today…”
“Shut up!” Hancock covered Robin’s face with his hands shyly, and Robin’s vague voice came from between his fingers: “And… me too… but my flower fruit… didn’t happen. The same change…”
Lin Qi nodded and said: “That’s true…”
Wow, half of Hancock’s face sank into the water, leaving only a pair of shy beautiful eyes above the water.
“Hancock, if you don’t come out, the water will boil.” Robin reminded kindly.
Lin Qi said: “The bath water is bubbling. Could it be that I farted?”
“You’re the one who farted!” Hancock poured water on them, angrily looked at the two people who were deliberately teasing him, turned his head, “Humph!”
Lynch and Robin couldn’t help laughing.
After being together for so many years, Hancock is still the same as before without teasing, and he is easily shy to death… Her Majesty, the Empress, is thirty years old, but she can still retain the innocence of a little girl, which is actually quite commendable. of.
“I’m not entirely kidding.”
Robin looked serious, touched his chin and thought, “The strange changes in the Devil Fruit that occurred in Hancock retained the ability of the Devil Fruit, but the factors of the Devil Fruit itself seemed to have disappeared and could not be taken out. Even Lynch can’t identify this change in Hancock, so let’s temporarily call it ‘fusion’. The only one who can change is Lin Qi.”
“But Hancock’s abilities have been ‘fused’, but I have not.” Dr. Robin thought for a while and looked at Hancock, “Hancock, has your Medusa Fruit awakened? ”
Hancock said: “Of course I’m awake.”
The awakening of animal abilities is the most difficult among Devil Fruits. With Hancock’s cheating talent, he has obtained this ability for more than ten years, and it is natural for him to develop it to the level of awakening.
Robin nodded, “No wonder you can follow Lynch”
Hancock pulled Robin’s cheeks in embarrassment.
“If it was her awakening and it was my fault that led to the ‘fusion’ of her abilities,” Lin Qi shook his head and pointed at himself, “Have you forgotten, my magnetic fruit before? I woke up. According to this theory, I should be the first to ‘fuse’ the magnetic fruit ability.”
Hancock also said: “I awakened to Medusa’s ability a few years ago, why did it change today?”
“That’s what you did differently last night…”
Lynch slowed down as he spoke, and Robin obviously thought of the same thing.
Hancock was stunned and murmured: “Because I bit you yesterday?”
“Because she ate your blood?” Robin looked at Lynch.
Lin Qi said: “It’s still the contradiction. If this is the case, then I should be the first to ‘fuse’ the magnetic fruit. Whether it is awakening or my blood, I am not lacking. If If it can be integrated in this way, then I should have integrated it long ago!”
“Let’s try it!” Hancock opened his mouth, and the tiger’s teeth turned into sharp snake fangs, entwined with dark armed colors. He grabbed Lynch’s arm and took a bite.
After biting the two tooth holes, blood oozed out from the skin. Robin lifted the hair from his ears, lowered his head and pressed his red lips to it, licking the blood with a faint fishy smell. He had to hurry up, otherwise he would end up with Lynch’s Self-healing speed, the wound will be healed in a blink of an eye.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the flower fruit inside Robin.
She is still a Devil Fruit user and is still afraid of water.
It seems wrong to say that she failed because her abilities were not awakened. Lin Qi put on the magnetic fruit and took a bite of it himself. He smacked the blood smell for a long time, but there was no change.
“It seems that this is a coincidence and cannot be copied.”
Lynch was not someone who was too entangled in such things. He quickly joked, “After all the unknown factors came together, you ascended to heaven and achieved this miracle?”
“What kind of paradise…” Hancock muttered with her cheeks raised, obviously she would have misunderstood.
…………
This little Hancock seems to have been favored by fate, but this kind of thing is actually very common for her, and others cannot envy her.
The research yielded no results, so Lynch and Robin put the matter aside for the time being.
For Hancock, who was almost killed by Im taking away the Medusa Fruit, it is a good thing to feel at ease that her abilities have been “fused” and she is no longer an “esper”.
After washing up and dressing neatly, Instructor Lin started a new day of classes.
Today is the last day of training for the first-month-olds. It is also the first stage of the graduation assessment after the “bottom test” on the first day of training. It is another day when all students will do whatever it takes to defeat instructor Lin Qi.
What are the results of this month’s practice…
Lin Qi was walking in the jungle carrying a golden iron rod when he suddenly stopped.
Phew…the cold wind blew around, and the dead leaves rolled up.
“Hehehe,”
The end of the gilt rod was on the ground, Lin Qi put one hand on his waist and said with a smile, “Are you so impatient?”
In the surrounding woods, figures were dormant.
“What on earth are you doing, you guy?”
Sanji was the first to jump out with a curse, and ran in mid-air with his moon steps. He raised his devilish foot and kicked Lynch in the face, “It’s so enviable!!!! ”
“This idiot!” Nami complained, raising the golden staff to the sky, booming, and billions of thunder brewing.
“Flame feet?”
Lin Qi made a fist seal with one hand, ignited a crimson fire, and punched Sanji on the sole of his foot. “It just so happens that I also know a little bit about Fire Fist!”
Boom!
The fists and feet collided, blazing waves of fire shot out, and the grass blades around the ground quickly withered and turned yellow.
Bang! Sanji was punched away. The three swordsmen behind him slashed at him like a whirlwind, and their strong domineering energy wrapped around the three dark blades like flowing water, heading straight for Lin Qi.
“Second gear, armed color!” As Luffy shouted, hot white steam shot out.
Luffy was not at the forefront of the passing steam. His speed was too fast for the steam to catch up. The black rubber fist had already attacked Lynch together with the secret of the Three Tongue Style.
I didn’t see how Lynch acted, and blue and black domineering lightning burst out from Zoro and Luffy.
“The slash is much sharper, but not enough.”
Zauron seemed to have been struck by a cross blade, and blood surged from his body.
“It allows me to use Yi Zuiye’s stick, which is good and a great improvement.”
Luffy’s eyes almost turned white as he spun around and was hit by a stick, breaking several trees.
“One hundred million volts… Lei Ying·Mermaid.”
As Nami pointed downwards, a dense ball of ten-meter-diameter thunder light poured over Lynch’s head, vaguely forming the outline of a giant mermaid, and opened its arms to embrace Lynch on the ground, drowning him.
Amidst the white lightning like a waterfall, a figure carrying a gold iron rod walked out step by step.
“Kill!” Usopp’s slingshot fired, “Armed Pill!”
At the same time, Amorine, Anne, and Cavendish attacked from the flanks and took the opportunity to attack Lynch.
Bang!
There was just a roar, and the Cavendish trio bounced away from Lynch. Not far away, Usopp screamed in pain, and the armed pill he shot returned the same way, giving himself a brain-destroying blow.
“…” Usopp touched his forehead and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. It was easy for the bullet returned by Lynch to penetrate his own head, but the difficult thing was… without breaking his head.
Lynch’s control of power has reached a jaw-dropping level. Facing different targets, he can freely control the severity of his shots.
Absolutely, like a monster.
“Roar!!”
The tall and powerful plush monster rose from the ground, and on the other side was a huge black dragon, slapping Lynch on the ground one left and one right.
Marian splashed oil paint, and a huge hypnotic doubt enveloped Lynch…
Brooke swung his autumn water and slashed with a cold air that seemed to come from the underworld…
“The wind is coming!!!”
Frankie has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time…
……
This first stage summary assessment lasted until lunch time.
A large area of trees was broken, some were charred and blackened by lightning strikes, and thick smoke was rising.
Lin Qi was still standing, but on the ground around him, people were lying messily on the ground, including Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Cavendish, Ayu…
Looking at this scene, Tulip said: “It’s still far away.”
Reilly said: “It has exceeded my expectations. In just one month, Luffy and the others have improved several times in strength!”
Tulip said: “So, it’s still far from enough.”
Over there, in front of Lin Qi, the only thing still standing was… another Lin Qi.
Lin Qi raised the golden iron rod and gently tapped the forehead of the opposite “Lin Qi”. The latter made a “woo” sound and fell backwards like a golden mountain toppling a jade pillar…like a broken mirror, The outside of “Lin Qi” cracked and turned back into the appearance of the ship spirit Meili. The little guy panted tiredly and murmured: “Brother Hei is so awesome…”
At this point, the first stage of summary assessment is over.
All the students… were completely defeated.
“Overall, I’m quite satisfied.” Lynch patted the dust on his arms and looked around.
Luffy, Zoro, and Ayu climbed up and sat down one after another. Nami, Sanji, Usopp and others did not want to move for the time being. Brooke and Marianne seemed to have been carved by ice and have not yet fully thawed. Fran Qi pulled the one-armed young man Xiangyun up.
Lin Qi smiled and said: “In this way, you must have a basic understanding of your own situation, what you will do in the next eleven months, how much energy you need to invest in Ripple Fist and combat effectiveness, I don’t think you need too much advice from me on how much energy you should allocate to your respective ‘majors’.”
Before Usopp and Nami could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Lynch say: “However, at the end of every month, there will be such an assessment.”
“Great!” Luffy, Zoro and others cheered up.
“I hope that in the assessment at the end of the twelfth month,” Lin Qi carried the golden iron rod and said with a smile, “I, the instructor, can be knocked to the ground by you. Don’t let me down!”
“We can’t stop playing every weekend.” Luffy stood up on his knees.
“Of course.” Zoro let out a long breath.
“Let’s eat first.” Lin Qi said, “I have a half-day holiday in the afternoon. I want to make balloons and contact Nami, the old man in Visalia. Aren’t you very greedy for their weather science? How to practice ripple fist. You have already I know the amount of training every day in the next eleven months, so I can measure it myself.”
“That’s great!” Nami jumped over excitedly and hugged Lynch.
Zoron turned around and said: “Hey, Sexy Chef, are you okay?”
“Damn Lynch…” Sanji beat the ground in tears, “Why is he so popular with women…”
“Because Brother Lynch is not always naughty like you.” Amorin and Marianne passed by, and her words once again gave Sanji a knowing blow.
Ayu patted the dust on his clothes, shook his head and walked towards the Nine Snake warriors who brought food over there.
……
“But what if the old gentlemen on Xiaokong Island are not free?”
While eating together enthusiastically, Usopp said while chewing meat, “If there is no prior communication, the chance of the other party responding at any time is relatively small…”
This is a problem.
However, Lynch thought for a moment and waved to the ship spirit, “Meili, come here.”
“Oh~” Meili Beng? floated over. After listening to Lin Qi’s words, she nodded vigorously and saluted, “Yeah! Brother Hei, wrap it up on me!”
……
After lunch, everyone who had a half-day vacation went back to the neighboring Kujia Castle on Isla Mujeres in a lively manner.
In the palace, Nami helped Robin make a magnetic balloon to contact Visalia. Originally, Lynch planned to just hang a note under the balloon. After Usopp’s reminder, he changed it to practice.
“We can just go there ourselves if they are free or not.” Lynch smiled and touched Meili’s little head.
The floor-to-ceiling mirror placed in the palace is exactly on the wall of the Mirror World, adjacent to the mirror stored in Xia Qi’s bar on the Shampoo Islands.
Meili touched the mirror with one hand, and quickly created another mirror out of thin air with her other little hand.
In the mirror world, this new mirror was born adjacent to the one in the Nine Snakes Palace and the one in Xia Qi’s bar.
Meili used the ability of the Mirror Fruit to shrink the newly created mirror into a piece the size of half a palm.
“Can it still be shrunk?” Usopp’s eyes widened, “What a shame…”
The half-palm-sized mirror was simply wrapped and protected, then tied to a magnetic balloon and thrown into the sky. Under the traction of magnetism, the balloon carried the broken mirror to a small island in the sky somewhere in the world. Visalia.
In the mirror world, the newly born small mirror still remains next to the two floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and its relative position has not moved due to the magnetic balloons flying around in the outside world.
“In other words, when the magnetic balloon brings this mirror to Visalia, Mellie can enlarge this small mirror, and we can reach Visalia through this mirror. Nami exclaimed, “That’s great, Meili! She’s so masterful at using her abilities!” The navigator smiled and held the ship elf in his arms.
“That’s it!” Luffy suddenly realized, “It’s an incredible portal!”
“That’s an accurate summary.” Sanji nodded.
Lynch held Robin and Hancock in his arms, and borrowed Meili from Nami’s arms. “It’s a rare holiday. Let’s go to the shampoo place. What about you?”
Brooke hurriedly followed, “Hey hoho hoho, I’m going to have a chat with Labu too! I haven’t seen him for a month, how is he doing?”
“I’m also going to add some materials.” Franky followed and said while walking through the mirror, “Lynch, swallowing the fruit is almost enough…”
“Are you ready? That’s okay…”
The voices and figures of Lin Qi and others passed through the mirror one after another and went to Xia Qi’s bar opposite.
Merry shook her head and got stuck in the middle of the mirror, making it easier for everyone to pass. She curiously poked her head into the mirror world and looked at Cavendish and others, “Aren’t you going?”
“What’s wrong with you?” Marian turned her head, “It feels weird after training…”
Amorin snickered from the side, “That Straw Hat Luffy’s progress is much faster than him, and he has been sulking all this time!”
“How can I not!” Cavendish refused to admit it and rushed into the mirror angrily.
Ayu shook her head, Xiangyun asked from the side, Ayu nodded, she is the queen after all, leaving the country for a month is already an exaggeration, it is time to go back and see…
As for Rayleigh, he has long since disappeared. He is probably lost in the colorful world of Nine Snake City and wandering around enjoying the flowers and wine.
〖Champaign Islands〗
A large number of people suddenly rushed out of the floor mirror of the bar, startling the few guests in Xia Qi’s shop.
However, when they saw clearly the appearance of these people, the Straw Hat Boy, the Pirate Hunter…especially after seeing the appearance of the devil’s son on his left hand, the pirate empress on his right hand, and the terrifying pirate Lynch with the highest bounty in the world. , all of them were so frightened that their limbs became stiff and froze in place. Is there any mistake? Why did so many big names suddenly come to this deserted and poor bar? !
“It’s the ‘Eight-Armed Demon’ Lynch! Oh my god, why are you so unlucky to meet such a terrifying monster while eating…”
“He is actually still here in the Shampoo Islands?!”
“Isn’t the ‘Eight-Armed Demon’ gone away for a month? Why is he back…”
Lin Qi didn’t pay attention to the whispers in the bar. Xia Qi came over and said with a smile: “‘Eight-Armed Demon’ is a title that has started to spread recently. It is more prestigious than the ‘Ripple Messenger’ on your reward order.” Too much?”
“Call them whatever you want.” Lin Qi said with a smile, “See you later, I’m going shopping.”
Xia Qi smiled and reminded: “If you are shopping, you can look over there.”
She pointed in one direction with her cigarette between her fingers.
Robin and Hancock recognized that that side seemed to be… the direction of Malinfando.
“Isn’t that place already destroyed by Lynch?” Frankie was passing by and couldn’t help but wonder after hearing this.
Xia Qi explained: “The new commander-in-chief of the army, the new marshal of the navy, a series of changes in big figures, there are always some new moves! You haven’t read the recent newspapers, have you? The navy has established a new headquarters, It was placed on the other side of the Red Earth Continent, and they didn’t give up completely on the original Malinfando…”
After a pause, Xia Qi smiled and said: “A huge naval training base was rebuilt around the few remaining ruins after the war.”
Robin said thoughtfully: “This kind of handwriting does not look like the style of the new navy marshal, but rather seems to come from the black-handed Zefa…”
