The newspaper-selling bird was startled. This was in the sky. Where could a human woman come from?
It flapped its wings and looked around, noticing the... telephone bug flying in the air nearby?
It's not surprising that phone bugs can simulate human voices.
But how come those little snails can fly?
The news bird flapped its wings and flew over.
"Boooo?!"
Being held by "B.I.B" and being blown by the wind in the sky, Little Green was taking a nap comfortably when he was suddenly startled by the approach of the news bird. The whole insect "swish" and its whole body changed, blending into the same color as the sea and sky.
as one body.
"Gah?!"
Newsbird was startled by the changes in the phone worm. What surprised it even more was that after the phone worm became "transparent", the scene in the small hole on the phone worm's forehead became very conspicuous.
At the small entrance, a human woman was waving to it, "News Bird, I want to sell newspapers."
"Gah?"
Newsbird doesn’t know what to do... The boss never said anything like this would happen?
"You fly in first." Robin waved to him.
The news bird was hesitating when he was suddenly caught by an unseen hand and shoved directly into the castle entrance on the little green forehead. It turned out that "B.I.B" couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave it a hand.
Shrinking in size, the news bird fluttered and landed in front of Robin.
Its tiny head couldn't understand what was happening at all. Where was this place? Why did this human woman suddenly become bigger again?
But no matter what, there was still business to be done. Newsbird took out a newspaper and handed it to the human woman in front of him.
"Thank you." Robin smiled and touched his body, "Sorry, I'll go get some change."
When she and Lynch left Nine Snake Island, they didn't bring much money with them.
Although the three Hancock sisters would not mind giving them hundreds, thousands or even hundreds of millions of Baileys... neither Lynch nor Robin would choose to accept it.
Robin feels that he has not made much contribution in the past few years on Nine Snakes Island. Instead, he has received a lot of care from Snake Princess Tulip.
Lynch, on the other hand, generously used these parting gifts as temporary accommodation expenses for the past few years.
And the three Hancock sisters also know that with their abilities, money can be easily obtained as long as there is demand. For example, among the pirate ships that fill the sea, wouldn't it be easy to rob just one?
The newsbird followed the human woman into this strange hole**.
It's really...a strange cave...
Twisted patterns... The walls seemed to be crawling, and something seemed to be solidified...
The floor and ceiling are not flat...the passages are also uneven, skewed and thick...
As a domestic seabird, bathed in human civilization, how could the newsbird adapt to the distorted painting style of Crusoe in the Castle of the Telephone Bug?
He followed tremblingly, fearing that the human woman would kill him if he disagreed with her and cook the soup. Suddenly, the front widened and she came to a larger space. Against the weird and twisted corner, there were several human beings piled up.
backpack.
Robin rummaged through his backpack, found a 100-beli coin, and handed it to Newsbird.
After the transaction was completed, the news bird fled away with relief, flapped its wings and flew out of the channel, and returned to the sky in a flash.
"Gah?"
It turned back but couldn't see anything. Against the background of the huge sky and ocean, and behind the green phone bug camouflage, the small castle hole on its forehead was really hard to detect.
If it weren't for the fact that there was indeed a newspaper missing and an extra coin in his bag, Newsbird would have thought it was just his imagination.
Thumping...
The news bird chirped, flew across the sky, and flew away slowly.
On the windless sea surface below, the sea king species splashed the water waves and rolled over and over again, seeming to be fighting something...
Robin walked to the entrance of the castle and sat down, facing the strong wind, unfolding the newspaper in his hand that smelled of ink, and browsing the news.
She looked through the section about the navy and paid attention to current affairs. Unfortunately, the news she found was nothing more than reports about a certain naval branch sending troops to destroy a certain pirate group, what remarks a certain naval officer made, and so on.
Yes, there is nothing that Robin wants to see - it has been almost a year since Hancock petrified the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, and it is really strange that he has not seen any special movements in the Navy at all.
.
Even if the Nine Snakes Pirates did not go to sea in this short year, Hancock has been staying on the Nine Snakes Island... Even if the Navy is temporarily unable to sail warships into the windless zone of Nine Snakes... Robin believes that in the Navy,
There are still people who can come to Nine Snakes alone to negotiate. For example, for a period of time, in Robin's eyes, everyone on Nine Snakes Island, no matter how tall or short, fat or thin, looked up to him. Lynch called him a frozen bird.
Kuzan; another example is the Vice Admiral who searched for her and Lynch all over the sky like golden light and flowing fire on Dr. Vegapunk's hometown of the Machine Island...
But the result was that the navy did not take the initiative to land on the island.
Did he not want to appear eager and be manipulated by Nine Snakes? Robin thought so, turned the page, and saw a relatively special piece of news published in a larger section.
The "Resort Island", a famous place in the Grand Line, will hold a "World's Best Swordsman Competition", and masters from all oceans are welcome to sign up.
The address for registration and participation is naturally the resort island, and the requirements for participation - there are no requirements! You are not even required to be a swordsman.
If you win the championship in the end, you will gain the reputation of "the world's greatest swordsman"!
Of course, there is also a huge amount of real money as a bonus that is enough to tempt most people...
With fame on one hand and profit on the other, this competition will probably attract a lot of people to participate. Robin thought, took a look at the registration time, and was surprised to find that the registration time for this competition lasted for several months, nearly half a year.
It seems that this is a sufficient publicity effort, and time is reserved for contestants from all over the sea to sail to the resort island to register.
I don’t know if Lynch is interested in this competition...
"The world's best swordsman competition?"
Lin Qi, holding a small fish with a white belly in his mouth, broke away from the waves and jumped into the air.
With a "pop" sound, he spat out the little fish with a white belly. He stepped on the moon steps, "pop", "pop" and "pop", and it looked like he was taking a walk.
Could it be that Hawkeye's title as the world's greatest swordsman was won in this game?
∩∩∩…
Lin Qi's figure walked up and down in the air together, and the pitch-black armor holding the green phone bug also followed the body's movement trajectory, flying up and down, fluttering forward.
He touched his chin and thought...
After all...it's actually very strange to think about it. How did the title of the world's greatest swordsman come about?
Just take a look at the various bad guys in the past life forum. Netizens picked them up casually, such as the red-haired Shanks, the foil sword Bista, the retired Rayleigh, and even the Yonko Aunt (she also has one)
Sword), the Four Emperors Whitebeard (isn’t the Blue Dragon Yangetsu Sword not a sword? As we all know, in the world of One Piece, a sword is a sword, and a sword is a sword)...even the one in the Five Old Stars who holds glasses all day long that are suspected to be the first-generation Ghost Tetsu
Old bald man!
There are so many awesome swordsmen out there, how come you, Hawkeye, who has no serious record, become the world's greatest swordsman?
But if the title is won in a world-wide competition, then it makes sense...
You know, there are indeed many fighting competitions in the One Piece world!
In the arena of Dressrosa, Edio, the "Destroyer Cannon" of the Long Hand Clan who later became a member of the Straw Hat Fleet, was the so-called "V2 Level Overlord of the New World Central Fighting Tournament".
Since there is a V2 level, there must be a V1 level, and it is very likely that Blackbeard's No. 1 ship captain Gizas Badges is the leader of this V1 level, because his name is the "Fighting Champion"
”.
"Lynch?" Robin noticed that he seemed to be distracted and couldn't help but remind him.
"Ah? Oh!" Lin Qi came back to his senses and looked at "B.I.B". He believed that it was also thinking about what he was thinking.
The two of them thought at the same time: The most important thing is that the "Creation Master" Oda Zai is a famous fan of Mr. Toriyama... The world's best martial arts club in Dragon Ball changed its skin and became the world's best kendo.
It makes sense that it would appear in the pirate world!
But that’s none of my business!
Lin Qi shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Robin asked: "Don't you plan to go?"
Lynch walked in the air and said with a smile: "We are going to the Chambord Islands! That note from Kurokas will probably rot if we don't use it anymore. Isn't that a pity?"
Robin also laughed, "I didn't go there a few years ago, so don't go to other places this time."
Lin Qi laughed, "That doesn't matter!"
After that, he jumped into the sea, splashed into the sky, played with the sea kings, and swam.
Of course, with Lynch's stature, he can't defeat the giant Neptune-like ones as big as a mountain - mainly because they can't knock them. However, the giant Neptune-like ones are also very bulky, and in the face of Lynch's flexibility, they really look like clumsy ones.
The mountains under the sea are the same. They cannot be beaten, but hiding is not difficult at all.
At this moment, the waves are soaring on the sea surface, and at the next moment, I dive into the water, tease the sea animals, swim, and fly straight in the direction of the Grand Route. It is quite fun!
In the air, Robin smiled and continued to read the newspaper in his hand to pass the time.
………………
I don't know how long it took, but the newspaper in my hand was blown and kept fluttering.
The wind suddenly became stronger.
Robin raised his eyes and saw a clear straight line appearing on the endless blue sea below.
One side of the straight dividing line is the windless sea area as calm as a lake; the ocean on the other side is filled with undulating waves and turbulent waves.
And the huge white waves formed by Lynch's swimming are also crossing the boundary from the calm sea into the rough sea.
Leaving the Windless Zone...
Ahead is the first half of the Grand Line.
She and Lynch once passed by here back then, trying to fly directly to the Shampoo Islands at the halfway point through the Ghost Castle to find the Rayleigh that Lynch mentioned. Unexpectedly, due to some accidents, they entered the windless zone and did not return to this area until today.
The sea... Robin thought so and soon felt a sense of weightlessness.
"B.I.B" is lowering its flight altitude.
Robin looked down at the sea. The huge waves left behind by Lynch's swimming had disappeared at some point.
Was he swimming underwater? Robin guessed.
She knew that Lynch's stand-in could sense Lynch's position, so she didn't have to worry about losing him.
"B.I.B" said: "The main body is underwater...it seems to have met someone else!"
Robin was very surprised, "Others?"
This is the sea area on the edge of the windless zone. Besides sea beasts and humanoid monsters like Lynch, who else is swimming in the sea?
boom……
Under the seemingly calm sea, there was a dull sound of collision.
Bang...bang...
On the calm sea, the waves that were originally just undulating slightly slowly began to stir with the dull collision.
boom……
With a roar, a huge spray of water exploded from the sea.
"B.I.B"'s slightly bright eyes moved slightly, and he saw a figure flying out with the spray of water.
"It's him!"
The stand-in armor thought, "Counting the time, their pirate group should have been established for some time..."
…
[A moment ago, out of the windless sea area, Lynch was hunting a medium-sized sea beast in the water under the sea surface.]
[After swimming for a long time, he swam out of the windless zone with his bare hands. The amount of exercise was not small. Although Lynch could not feel tired yet, he was already hungry in advance. The sea beast he was chasing was brought by him from the windless zone.
The one that was chased out has now left the windless sea area. It may not be easy to get such one in the Grand Line. Lin Qi was greedy and refused to let it go, so he dived underwater and swam very fast, like a torpedo.
Hot pursuit of that large sea beast.]
[Little sea beast, you have to run so hard, how pitiful you are! My tears flowed into my stomach, and finally they came out of my mouth!]
[Lin Qi's eyes flashed red, and he caught up with a sea beast. He circled it and punched it, bang... the sound of the punch under the water was dull, and it also stirred up turbulence in the sea. 】
[The sea beast was knocked away, and its huge body caused turbulent sea currents. After all, Lynch is not an aquatic creature. It is difficult to maintain balance in such chaos. He can only use force to defeat cleverness and use the powerful driving force of "water steps" to hit
Weaving through the turbulent flow, we headed straight towards the big sea beast that rolled its eyes, and hit him with another punch. Bang...]
[Every punch made the sea currents go crazy, like underwater shock waves again and again. The sound was so loud that the nearby small fish and shrimps were so frightened that they turned around and fled quickly. 】
[Lin Qi grabbed the mane of the giant sea beast and punched it one after another, happily preparing the lunch that was about to arrive. Suddenly his eyes narrowed and he turned to look at the chaotic currents underwater. 】
【Gulu...】
[He could clearly hear a different sound mixed in with the chaotic sound of the ocean current.]
[Gululu...]
[The sound is approaching him very quickly!]
[Boom...a water column visible to the naked eye, yes, the water column in the water passed by Lynch's ear like a cannonball.]
[Lin Qi hovered in the turbulence and looked towards where the attack came from. He only caught a glimpse of a shadow coming quickly and going under the sea beast. Soon, the sea beast was so aggrieved that it screamed and fled in a hurry. 】
【"Disturbing my lunch? You're done, do you know that?"】
[Lin Qi's mouth was filled with gurgling bubbles, and he quickly stepped on his feet and rushed straight towards the figure.]
[The man probably didn’t expect that he would strike so decisively and hastily raised his hand to block, boom! The huge punch force surprised him, and when he saw Lynch’s appearance, he was shocked again.]
[After Lin Qi got closer and saw this guy's appearance clearly, he was a little surprised and said: "Huh?"]
[As soon as he spoke, the corners of his mouth started to bubble again...]
…
Peng! Back to the present, a column of water rose from the sea, and a figure jumped out.
Immediately afterwards, Robin saw Lynch also rushing out of the sea. He stepped on the moon step with his feet and followed closely.
The figure is in front and above, constantly circling around the water column.
Lin Qi was behind and below, approaching very quickly on moon steps. Every time he stepped on the waves, he kicked up the water waves and broke them into water splashes all over the sky, scattering a rainbow-like halo in the sunlight.
The figure jumped out of the water waves, flew through the air, drew an arc, and then fell into the sea with a "plop".
"As expected of a sea hero, he swims really fast!"
Lin Qi laughed loudly, stepped on the air, and with a "pop" sound, his whole body pierced into the sea like a torpedo, without causing any waves.
Two shadows, one behind the other, are chasing each other under the sea.
"B.I.B" also held the Phone Bug and Robin in the Phone Bug Castle and flew in the air to catch up.
Under the water, the whale shark Jinbei, who is not yet a sea hero, is flying through the sea at a high speed, but he can't get rid of the human behind him.
Bang...bang...bang...
In the sea behind you, there was a rhythmic muffled sound. Every time there was a sound, the speed of the humans following behind increased instantly!
"What kind of swimming method is that?" Jinbei was secretly surprised, "As a human being, he can actually keep up with the speed of a fish-man like me underwater..."
