After arriving at Hogback's mansion, a maid came to serve her when she opened the door. Together with Joanna, she helped Sindori, whose ankles were swollen, to the room.
"You two just wait a moment!"
Hogback gave Lynch and Robin a few perfunctory words, hummed a song and skipped to his room to get the medicine kit.
"It's so rich!"
Lin Qi leaned on the soft sofa and sighed sincerely.
Robin next to him asked in a low voice: "Do you really want to rob..."
"Is there still a fake thing?" Lin Qi was surprised.
Robin stopped talking. She felt that although the doctor named Hogbark was not very good-looking, and his attitude towards the two of them was completely different from that towards Sindori and the others, he didn't do anything bad...
"How can he let you see him doing bad things?" Lynch said nonchalantly, "A guy like this who is extremely rich will not be wronged if he robs them! Besides, I didn't say it at the beginning, I'm not a good person!
"
"Then who are you?" Robin asked softly.
"It's not clear yet, but maybe I will become a pirate hunter next? After all, I have to eat!" Lin Qi touched his chin and thought, "But I will eventually become a pirate! I quite want to.
Go and see everywhere on the sea!”
There are also those amazing guys on the Grand Line, the strong men who are as good as the sky!
After all, I have a golden finger like a substitute. Wouldn't it be a waste not to pursue the path of becoming a strong person?
How can this happen in vain?
Robin asked: "If you want to go to the sea and see everything, you can also become a navy."
Lin Qi asked curiously: "How could these words come out of your mouth?"
"..." Robin was silent. Her hometown of O'Hara was razed to the ground by the Navy's Demon-Slaying Order artillery fire.
She certainly didn't have a good impression of the navy, nor did she have much hatred. For a girl like her who had been lonely and helpless since she was a child, she had only fear in her heart after escaping all the way.
But for others, the navy should still be reliable, right?
"Although the Navy is quite good, it is an upright camp, with professional titles, salary and bonuses, and a good reputation... There are also strict levels of classification, and it should be a sense of accomplishment to upgrade... Although the Navy's cloak of justice is shameless,
But he is indeed a little handsome! And the general’s sitting posture is also a little cool..."
Lynch kept talking to himself, saying things that Robin half understood. Finally, he changed the subject and concluded decisively: "But, I don't want to go to work."
"...?" A question mark slowly appeared on Robin's head.
Lin Qi plausibly said: "Why should I go to work in the navy when I can be a pirate and be free?"
As they were talking, Lin Qi suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned around and saw something dark coming towards him...
………………
"B.I.B" emerged from Lynch's body again.
It immediately took out the inverted triangle chip on the chest and inserted it into Lynch's body with its right hand with red flame patterns.
Lynch regained the ability to have flowers and fruits.
It was exactly the principle that he had told the substitute before. When it takes it back into the main body, it must recover the Devil Fruit ability in the main body, so as not to release it again, it will also have the fruit ability. In that case, even as a substitute, it will not be able to use the Devil Fruit.
It will be restrained by things like the sea or seastones.
Lynch waved his hand and immediately used his abilities to bloom on Robin's face. His own facial flesh grew on her forehead and cheeks, and also wrapped her nose, making it look like a head of garlic.
Robin: "..."
As someone who was able to obtain a doctorate in history at the age of eight, she has a high IQ, and her observation skills are also very strong after she escaped all the way.
Robin has already seen that this boy named Lynch has the special ability to seize other people's Devil Fruit abilities and absorb them. And... this ability seems to be able to be used on himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't act like this for a while
He had flowers and fruits, and then disappeared after a while... In addition, his other ability, that ghostly ability, should be by his side at the moment. But he couldn't see it.
"However, if you are an illiterate and cannot write, why don't you come back to me? Why don't you ask those people on the ground?!"
Seeing him gnashing his teeth and whispering into the air, Robin asked curiously: "What does your ghost... look like?"
She was actually quite envious. Having such a ghost around her was like having a friend by her side at all times, right?
After Lin Qi angrily taught the substitute a lesson, he heard Robin's question and thought: "It's almost equivalent to...a big man wearing full body armor, right?"
Full body armor...Robin was stunned, didn't he look like a guardian knight? He was even more envious...
"Don't talk about this. Robin..." Lin Qi came over and said sheepishly, "Teach me how to write a sentence? I..."
"I can't read" is really unspeakable!
The original owner of the body, "Lin Qi", made nm run out to become a pirate at the age of eight, without even knowing a single Chinese character! What a fool!
Lin Qi cursed in his heart.
Robin smiled slightly and said, "Okay, what do you want to write?"
Hearing those words from Lynch, Robin was slightly startled, a little distracted, as if he didn't expect such a sentence to come out of Lynch's mouth.
………………
The armored stand-in "B.I.B" took the newly learned phrase and was sent away by an angry Lin Qi.
Originally, he just thought it was fun and wanted to leave a "visit here" at the crime scene.
But because of the big mistake of being illiterate, today’s line must be written for it!
Not long after, Hogbak packed up the medical kit and walked out with a happy face.
On the sofa in the room, Sindori's ankle was wrapped with layers of gauze, and the swelling had indeed subsided a lot.
Although Hogback looks wretched and has a very bad character, his medical skills are not fake. He is a medical idol that even Straw Hat Doctor Chopper admires.
"Why are you still here?!"
As soon as Hogback saw Lynch and Robin holding the dirty dog with its bloody leg, he was a little annoyed. These two ignorant brats really relied on him?!
By taking Ms. Sindori to another room for treatment, isn't it just leaving room for you to feel ashamed, retreat and get out quietly?
………………
On the other side, a fire broke out at the Black Powder Security Company.
It's all on fire, and the residents passing by will certainly not continue to sit idly by.
Some people rushed into the fire to save people and dragged out several gangsters who were covered in blood and incapacitated; some called their friends to get water to put out the fire; some rushed to call each other to call for the guards and the like to come to the rescue.
…
Reporters who were covering the street shootings also came after hearing the news.
"Click" "Click"...
He took photos of the scorched scene. Inside the open door, he could see a messy room, with the walls covered in smoke and black.
The onlookers were talking a lot, thinking that this might be another gang fight or something.
The reporter silently memorized key words in his notebook when he suddenly heard someone exclaim: "What is that! The stone...the stone flew by itself!!"
Huh? Another question mark popped up on the reporter’s head.
Looking through the sound, I saw a blackened stone floating swaying among the ruins of the fire scene filled with green smoke.
The stone flew to a wall full of black smoke, click, click, click... and it started to scratch on the wall one stroke at a time.
"That-that's it!?"
"It's the word, the stone wrote it by itself!!"
The residents screamed loudly and saw an incredible scene.
But suddenly, these noises stopped abruptly, and everyone stopped talking at the same time with a tacit understanding, holding their breath and concentrating.
Reporters can understand their feelings very well.
At this moment, he was sweating on his forehead and felt like he couldn't breathe. He stared at the crooked words left on the wall by the black stone he made himself:
