Lin Qi looked at the eight-year-old girl with long black hair in front of him in surprise, then looked down at the stray puppy at his feet, and suddenly said, "Did you follow it?"
Robin said nothing and nodded slightly.
"Because I didn't tell that person about you, do you think I can be trusted?"
Just when the little girl started to feel a little embarrassed, Lynch smiled and said: "Actually - you just don't even know where to go! How pitiful."
Robin's thin body trembled and he clenched his fingers.
"Yesterday that person... did not die."
She spoke. This was the first time that Lin Qi heard her speak, but her childlike and clear voice was a little hoarse, probably because she had not spoken too much for a long time.
"Those gangsters... may still cause trouble for you..."
"You think you've caused me trouble, right?" Lin Qi smiled, "You came to remind me?"
The little girl with long black hair bit her lower lip and remained silent.
"Then don't worry, I'm not a good person! The people who want to kill me can be lined up from here to Momonosuke's urn in Wano Country and then to Ralph Drew. What are a few gangster three-legged cats?"
Robin was a little confused when he heard it. Rafdru sounded familiar, but where is Wano Country? And what is Momonosuke?
However, Lynch said that, but if you are targeted by local gangsters, it will be really difficult.
Lin Qi felt that he had to find a way. As a newbie, the first thing he needed to do was to develop steadily. Only when his level was high could he have enough energy to cause trouble with others...
At this moment, white light flashed in the narrow eyes of the "helmet" on Lynch's face, and "B.I.B" made an electronic sound: "Extract... release..."
Lin Qi looked at his hands as if he had a tacit understanding. The "armor" on his left arm was blue with flame-like patterns, while the right arm was red. The shape of the flame patterns was vaguely swirly, and seemed to be very similar to the characteristics of something...
Devil Fruit?
When Robin saw the boy who was a year or two older than him, he seemed to be winking at the air again. He couldn't help but think of what he did to the gang member last night...Sauro said that there were many people on the sea who ate all kinds of food.
Bizarre devil fruits have incredible abilities. This boy should have eaten some kind of fruit just like she ate the flower fruit... Is it a ghost fruit?
Just as she was thinking this, the boy in front of her suddenly stretched out his right hand towards her, just touching the breast of Robin's shabby dress, he poked it, frowned and then retracted it.
"...?" Robin was a little confused when he saw Lin Qi changing his left hand. This time, there was no obstacle and he inserted it straight into her chest.
"...!?" Robin lowered his head and stared blankly at the boy's hand, which was completely immersed in his body.
But...why doesn't it hurt...
Or is it too painful and causing paralysis?
At this moment, a series of scenes flashed back in Robin's mind.
When I was a child, my aunt wasn't very kind to me. She always didn't have enough to eat or wear or keep warm, and I was ordered around... I finally got admitted to the Ph.D. in history, thinking I could study history with Dr. Kloba and the others. As a result, my hometown was...
The navy's demon-slaying order was razed to the ground... I made my first friend, a giant, and taught myself how to laugh, but he died trying to protect me... I finally met my mother, thinking I could finally go with her this time.
, lived together, but ended up being pushed away...
I am already the last person left in O'Hara. As a result, the hope that Dr. Cloba, my mother, and everyone else have fought to save will be extinguished here...
I'm sorry, Doctor, Mom, people like me will disappoint you after all...
Sauro, you said that as long as you go to the sea, you will always meet your friends, but I'm sorry, I will be stabbed through the chest, my bloody heart will be dug out, and I will die...
When his body cools down, will it be eaten by wild dogs and crows on the roadside, or will it be picked up and taken to a naval base in exchange for a bounty?
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The boy's voice suddenly woke Robin up and brought him back to reality.
Only then did she realize that even though her skinny chest was still intact, there was no pain, and even her dusty dress was not damaged.
The boy's hand had been withdrawn. Robin looked at the boy's left hand stupidly, there was not even a drop of blood. It was as if it had not stabbed into her chest just now.
"Kid, do you have a lot of question marks?" Lynch teased, imitating Robin's dazed expression when he was walking around just now. "Ah, wasn't I killed by him? What on earth is going on -"
Robin gritted his teeth secretly, a little embarrassed and a little angry.
And at a level that she couldn't see, Lynch's left hand, wrapped in a blue flame-patterned arm armor, was holding an inverted triangular "crystal piece" with a faint blue light.
The surface of the triangular crystal piece is engraved with a swirling pattern like a cluster of flowers.
"What did you do?" Robin asked softly. She was good at observation and noticed that Lynch's eyes were always fixed on his own left hand - what was he holding in his hand? Was he his ghost ability?
"Try it and see if you can use your ability to produce flowers and fruits?" Lin Qi suggested.
Robin was shocked. He immediately crossed his arms and followed his original instinctive method, trying to use his ability to "flower" and grow arms on the face and chest of the boy in front of him, but it had no effect.
There was something empty inside my body, something had been lost.
It's because I lost my devil fruit ability...
Lin Qi smiled slightly, and switched the inverted triangular-shaped flower fruit "chip" from his left hand to his right hand - the right hand full of red flame swirl patterns, and slammed the chip into his chest!
When Robin saw him suddenly "mutilating himself", he couldn't help but scream in shock.
But the next second, she had a flash of inspiration and opened her mouth in shock, could it be——?!
After the Huahuaguo chip was implanted in his body, Lynch took a deep breath and felt a wonderful "intuition" all over his body. He smiled slightly and raised his hands slightly, and "flowers" appeared on both sides of Robin's slender neck.
Two arms—Lynch’s arms!
The two hands on Robin's neck pinched both sides of Robin's cheeks, and she said inarticulately: "You... you grabbed the porridge... you're so damn... you can't get tired of it..."
"It seems like this." Lynch smiled, "It's a very interesting ability, it's quite fun."
As he spoke, the two hands that were squeezing Robin's cheeks quietly turned into petals, which were spread on the girl's thin shoulders.
"You -" Robin looked at the petals falling on his palm and said in panic and loss, "How could you do this..."
This is the ability that I rely on to protect myself! How can an eight-year-old girl like me survive in this cruel sea without flowers and fruits?
Little Robin's heart sank a little bit, and she didn't know what to do.
"Hey, you two kids!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of the alley.
