[Chapter Heading Serial·Lovesickness 8·"The Empress Staring into the Distance Outside the Window"]
[Sanda Sonia and Marigrud rushed into the bedroom with Bonnie all the way, and saw Hancock standing alone by the bright big window. She was only wearing a light nightgown, in the bright sunshine.
Against the background, the slender body like a shadow was dimly visible...Hancock turned around, except that his face was slightly pale and his black hair was wet with a layer of hot sweat, and his breath was no different from usual.]

"Jinbei?"
When Lin Qi turned around, he still had snacks bought on the roadside in his mouth.
The person who suddenly stopped him and Robin on the side of the road was none other than Jinbe, the future hero of the sea, who he and Robin had met by chance when they had just left the windless zone.
"It's you! We meet again!"
Lynch laughed, walked over, and opened his arms.
Jinbei was a little reserved, as if he was not used to Lin Qi's enthusiasm. He just smiled and stretched out his hand to clap Lin Qi's hand.
Robin and "B.I.B" followed behind, and both noticed that the passers-by who passed by Jinbei had a certain distance invisibly, and as they passed by, they cast strange looks at Lynch, who smiled and greeted Jinbei.
However, Robin didn't know whether this strange look was because of Jinbei's identity as a fishman or because of Giorno himself.
"We didn't enjoy the fight last time, so you left in a hurry," Lynch smiled at Jinbei, "We met again this time. We are so destined to have a good fight, can't we make sense not to have a good fight?"
Jinbei smiled and said: "Want to fight on land or in the sea?"
"Oh, murlocs are amazing. Are you afraid of hitting me in the sea?" Lin Qi said nonchalantly, "Whatever you choose! Let me convince you, okay?"
Jinbei chuckled and said, "Are you sure you can win?"
"Oh, I'm really not convinced," Lin Qi snorted, "Why don't we have a fight now? Whoever loses will get a treat!"
Robin reminded from the side: "It's better to sign up first..."
"Oh, right!" Lin Qi remembered that he still had to sign up for the competition.
Jinbe's expression changed slightly, "Do you want to participate in this competition for the best swordsman in the world?"
"Yes, why else would I be here?" Lin Qi said, suddenly seeing something strange about Jinbei, "Have you just fought with someone?"
I really don’t blame Lin Qi for his poor eyesight. It’s actually Fatty Lan whose skin tone is too Avatar-like. Even if there are traces of the battle, it’s hard to see at a glance.
Jinbei wiped the scratch on his neck or chest. He didn't know whether it was a scratch on his neck or chest? He said solemnly: "Yeah... I beat up some annoying humans."
"Humanity?"
Lynch and Robin were both moved. They used such words? Then the reason for the conflict was obvious.
Is it nothing more than human beings discriminating against murlocs? It offended Jinbei, who is still very grumpy now, and caused him to fight...
Robin said: "It seems that the big noise coming from the arena before was caused by you?"
When Lynch, Mihawk and Armand were confronting each other, they were interrupted by a loud noise in the distance.
"Yeah?" Jinbei didn't deny it? "I just got rid of those sailors..."
The three of them walked and chatted, not paying attention to the strange looks from some people on the road around them.
"You don't have a sword either. What kind of swordsman competition are you participating in?" Lynch asked.
Jinbei asked back: "Don't you also use a sword?"
Lin Qi said dissatisfied: "I have a blunt sword!"
He waved his hand, and under the pull of the magnetic fruit, an iron rod flew out from the small green inner castle in Robin's shoulder bag, spinning and being caught by him.
Jinbei was first shocked by the way he used his hand to capture objects from afar. When he took a closer look, he was speechless for a moment. What do you call a blunt sword? It was clearly a stick!
During the conversation, Lin Qi learned that Jinbei really wanted to participate in the swordsman competition when he was ridiculed by some bastards, ridiculing him for being just a fish. He also wanted to participate in the human competition, and said, "Although it's impossible, but...
Wouldn't it be ridiculous if the best swordsman in the world turned into a fish?" and the like... Did this make Jinbe angry? A big fight at the registration desk? A 30 million watt punch? It caused an explosion on the spot.
.
Lynch could counter this move calmly, but ordinary people couldn't stand it. After Jinbe made a big fuss at the registration office, he quickly attracted a group of marines to pursue him.
Jinbe's skills were naturally not something that a group of ordinary sailors could catch up with. After leaving the arena area, he quickly avoided those sailors and blended into the crowd.
Not long after, I happened to bump into Robin and Lynch who were walking out of the mall after buying clothes.
"How about it, do you dare to go back again?" Lin Qi waved the iron rod in his hand, "I'm about to sign up, can you help lead the way?"
Jinbei shook his head and said in a deep voice: "When I left there, the registration was almost closed... If you go now, it's probably too late to register."
Lin Qi patted Jinbei's broad shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll definitely make it in time."
………………
With Jinping leading the way, the three of them quickly arrived at the registration location in the arena area.
In the distance, I saw some broken houses and cracked roads. Some workers were urgently repairing them.
"The navy people don't seem to have any intention of catching you. No one is ambushing you here."
Lin Qi stood on the "relics" where Jinbei had caused damage, looked around, and found no trace of a sailor.
But because Jinbei left and returned, some people at the registration office showed a little fear on their faces, and they all exclaimed: "Why is he back again?"
"Damn it! Let the navy drive this fish man away!"
There was anger in Jinbei's eyes, and he glanced coldly at the annoying humans around him. He was very surprised by Lynch's question, and shook his head: "Of course... the navy has no control over this area, or even this entire island.
During the period of the Swordsman Competition, we will not take the various pirates on the island too seriously."
Besides, aren't you a pirate yourself? And a pirate with a bounty of up to 200 million beli.
Since Giorno thought in his heart that the navy would ambush me, and he asked me to bring him here so boldly, what on earth was this guy thinking?!
"Oh? Why is this?" Lynch asked as he walked.
"You really don't know?"
Jinbei noticed that the humans around him, in addition to pointing at him, also looked sideways at Giorno who was walking in front.
Jinbei vaguely heard some words such as "West Coast", "Eagle Eye", "Mrs. Ghost (Harmony)", "Giorno", "Unbelievable", and vaguely pieced together what these people were talking about, but...
When Giorno came here, he had a conflict with the eagle-eyed guy and the daughter of the Sea Emperor?
To be able to compete head-on with those two people... How unfathomable is Giorno's strength?!
"What do you know or not?" Lin Qi was confused.
Robin reminded: "This swordsman competition is in the name of a pirate who is king of the Shichibukai..."
"Krokdal." Jinbe added.
He looked at Lin Qi's back and thought to himself: "With such strength, no wonder even the mighty Shichibukai doesn't take him seriously... Even though he is crazy, he also has the confidence to be crazy!"
"Oh, it's him." Lin Qi suddenly realized that he simply hadn't asked about it!
No wonder the navy ignored this swordsman competition, which was obviously attended by many pirates. It turned out that the legal pirate Shichibukai was guarding it.
In other words, the guys who are instigating this competition are quite smart and know how to put up a banner of Shichibukai to show off their appearance.
That guy Lao Sha borrowed a name to go out, and his pockets are probably full.
Lynch thought to himself, could this be the source of funds for the Baroque Society?
As for Robin knowing, it was obviously because she had been secretly vigilant after arriving on the island, or it could be said to be the result of eavesdropping...
"Sand crocodile..."
Lin Qi thought about it, and he was still somewhat interested in tricks such as sand waterfall burial and sand binding coffin.
"Sorry, registration has closed."
The race registration staff carefully reminded Lynch.
This is a powerful pirate who caused trouble by fighting against the Hawkeye man and the ghost (Harmony) lady when he first arrived on the island... and he was accompanied by the hateful fishman and staff who had caused a scene here before.
I'm really afraid that this Giorno will also make a fuss... It's okay for this fish man, but if this Giorno makes a fuss, it will be very difficult! Just look around and you will know that after Giorno came in, there were
The noise has dropped a bit.
"Is it due?"
Lynch smiled, raised his hand and turned the iron rod in front of the staff.
The iron rod rotated around and around, and the staff's eyes slowly became distracted...
"Registration, Giovanna Giorno," behind the iron rod spinning like a phantom, came Lynch's ethereal voice, "There is also Kujo Xu Lun."
