Rose sneaked onto the ship of two powerful pirates. She thought about various possible consequences, but she never imagined that it would be the situation before her.
A circular hole suddenly appeared on the cabin floor, and half of the girl's head popped out. Rose poked out her eyes and observed quietly.
There was the sound of waves outside, but it was eerily quiet inside the cabin.
It was empty without a soul.
What about the male and female pirates?
The head that poked out of the hole in the floor turned around, and suddenly a huge telephone bug came into view. Rose was so frightened that she almost screamed and quickly covered her mouth.
"It's a phone bug..."
She calmed down and saw that it was actually a green phone bug that had been crawling in front of her face for so long that she thought it was some kind of monster.
"Bolulu..." the phone bug called several times, and Rose quickly raised her finger and said "shhh".
She left the cabin through the round hole, climbed up, picked up the green phone bug, and moved it carefully in the cabin while touching it.
Rose did not go through the main entrance, but used the tube fruit to make a hole. She first leaned over to observe the situation, and then walked through the wall with her entire body.
This was not a big pirate ship, and Rose quickly walked around, inside and out.
It was really empty, not a single person.
"It's so strange," the girl's face turned a little pale, frightened by such a strange thing, "Where are those two pirates..."
She suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky. The pirate named Giorno could fly...but when he flew into the sky, he seemed to make a popping sound in the air, but the sky above his head was high.
There was no one inside, and no unusual noises could be heard...
Just as she was looking towards the sky, there was a "crunch" in the cabin, which shocked Rose. She turned around and saw that it was the rudder of the ship that was turning.
"It's the rudder..." She breathed a sigh of relief, but cold sweat suddenly appeared on her lowered face, and her eyes instantly lost color, "Why is the rudder moving on its own..."
She mustered up the courage again and entered the cabin. She carried the green phone bug in her arms and approached the lonely rudder step by step.
"Creak..." The rudder turned again on its own.
Rose trembled in fright and froze in place for a long time. Her heart was pounding wildly. She closed her eyes and looked at the air around the rudder twice - she didn't touch anything.
"..."
Confirming that no transparent person was at the helm did not make Rose's nervous mood any better.
She clearly saw that there was a record pointer placed on the ring table in front of the rudder!
And the route of this ship is obviously exactly along the direction of this record pointer... In other words, this empty ship is not drifting on the sea without a purpose, but sailing with a purpose!
Could it be that the true identities of those two pirates are actually ghosts?!
When they return to their ship, they will return to their original appearance and turn into ghosts to control the ship?
Rose, who had not seen Lynch pull out the ship from Xiaolu's body before, sat down against the wooden wall sluggishly.
She held the green phone bug in her arms, pinched its cute face, and said with a bitter smile: "Your two masters, they abandoned this ship, and they also abandoned you..."
"Bolu?" Xiao Lu tilted her head in her palm in confusion, looked at the human woman, and then at the jet-black armor next to her that was steering the ship.
Is there something wrong with this human woman’s eyesight?
There are obviously people in the boat! Why do you say there are no people?
Seems a bit silly...
"I'm so hungry." After being frightened, Rose was a little tired. She took out some dry food and took a few bites. She glanced at the boundless sea outside, then lowered her head and took two bites silently. She noticed the green one on her lap.
The phone bug stared straight at her. Rose broke off some cake and handed it to its mouth, "Do you want to eat it?"
Xiao Lu opened her mouth and swallowed the pieces of cake.
Rose said to herself: "I don't have much food with me, what should I do now...where is this ship going..."
She took out a permanent pointer from her arms and stared blankly at the name of the country engraved on the wooden frame.
"Sikeal".
A pair of narrow eyes glowed with white light, staring closely at the permanent pointer on the girl's hand.
Rose didn't react at all to this, but Xiao Lu was startled by the visor that came closer.
The mask wrapped in the dark substitute energy floated quietly in front of the girl, while the rest of "B.I.B" stayed in place, still holding the rudder to control the course...
………………
The tip of the pen wanders across the paper, outlining the trajectory of the route.
Robin drew two thick cross lines on the hand-drawn map, one solid representing the Red Continent and one hollow representing the Grand Route.
Two thick crosses divide the four sea areas of southeast, northwest and west. Robin starts from the West Sea, passes through Rath Gap Island and enters the Upside Down Mountain, stops at the Twin Capes, and then draws the line into the Grand Line.
Guanjia Island, Lulucia Kingdom, Peach Island, Boeing Islands, Flower Boat on the Sea... Nine Snakes Island, Ice Cream Kingdom, Batellila Island... Brugeoia Kingdom, Peach Island, Forshat Island, Resort Island...
…
The journey finally started from Cigu Island and headed towards the depths of the Great Route.
"Why are you drawing this..." Lynch's voice suddenly appeared above Robin's head, "Crunch, crunch..."
"I was wondering how far it is from the Chambord Islands." Robin put down his pen, leaned on the sofa, took a sip of hot black tea. There were two notes pressed against the pen on the coffee table, one new and one
Old, it was Red Hair and Kurokas who wrote what Lynch brought to Pluto Rayleigh in the Chambord Islands. "We can't wait any longer for Shanks' note to become old, and we haven't arrived at the Chambord Islands yet.
Bar?"
She spoke teasingly, and Lin Qi actually laughed.
It's just that the sound of his laughter was weirder than usual, mixed with "crunching" and "crunching" noises.
Robin looked up and saw that he was eating randomly again.
Ever since using the Tuntun Fruit, Lynch seemed to have the urge to eat everything first to taste the texture... Robin took a closer look and saw that what Lynch threw into his mouth and chewed turned out to be a piece of iron.
Great.
It's Lynch's own weapon...
Robin saw with shame that Lynch was chewing up the iron rod that could compete with the swordsman Hawkeye's black sword like a chocolate stick, and finally took it all into his mouth and swallowed it.
"But we don't have much food," Lin Qi made a strange rumbling sound in his stomach, but said casually, "I'll definitely have to resupply a few times along the way... I'll perform a magic trick on you. Look, I swallow a long sword."
As he spoke, he raised his head, reached into his mouth, and pulled out an iron rod from his throat.
Robin shook his head helplessly.
Compared with before it was chewed up and swallowed by Lynch, the iron rod had obviously shrunk a bit, and the luster of the metal had almost completely disappeared, becoming plain and plain.
Lin Qi pulled it out and held it in his hand. The iron rod seemed heavier than before it was tempered and reorganized with the swallowing fruit.
With a slight wave of his hand, a strong wind blew out and blew on the castle wall.
"Boo!"
White fluid surged up from the castle wall, condensing into the shape of a telephone bug. It called out to Lynch twice in dissatisfaction.
Seeing it, Robin drank some black tea and said, "Are you really going to leave her alone?"
"She didn't call for help, so why bother with her." Lynch put the iron bar aside and sat on the sofa carelessly, with his long legs crossed on the coffee table and his long arms around Robin, "I have such good intentions.
Well?"
Robin smiled and said: "I never asked you for help before."
"Let me show you another magic trick!"
Lynch changed the subject without any trace.
Robin drank the black tea with a smile and said nothing, did not ask any questions or tease him, and watched his performance quietly.
Lin Qi snapped his fingers and said seriously: "This magic is called - 'eat yourself', have you never seen it before?"
As he spoke, he opened his mouth wide, and the size of his lower jaw became particularly exaggerated. He actually swallowed the entire head from bottom to top, then the neck, and then the upper body...
Lin Qi, who was sitting on the sofa, was completely swallowed up by his mouth. Finally, there was only a squirming mouth left on the sofa.
Robin was holding black tea with a stunned look on his face.
But soon, the mouth on the sofa opened, and with a snap, a figure spit out, and Lin Qi appeared again—but his appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes.
His limbs and physique became thicker... Well, Robin looked up and down quickly and judged that his height had shrunk, from the original two and a half meters to about 1 and 9 meters, which was only 1.9 meters taller than she was now.
About half a head taller.
The vertical part became shorter, and then the horizontal part expanded. Lynch's frame seemed to be reshaped, and the density and distribution of the muscles were also adjusted...
What changed even more was Lynch's face.
The bones and muscles of the face, even the density and shape of the eyebrows, and many features of the appearance have become subtly different...
"How about Tuntun plastic surgery?" Lin Qi asked, rubbing his face.
"It's indeed amazing..." Robin looked at it for a long time, drank the lipstick tea, and commented calmly, "But it's not as good-looking as before."
"Really?" Lin Qi found a mirror and took a look, "I feel pretty good..."
He opened his mouth, gritted his teeth, and smiled at Robin: "Would you like to do it too?"
"No." Robin flatly refused. Holding black tea in one hand and leaning on the sofa with the other, he tilted his head and asked, "I don't think you just want to change your look, right?"
Lin Qi touched his chin, "I was wondering, can I change my appearance back without swallowing the fruit? Since Life Return can control hair, there's no reason why it can't control flesh, skin, and bones..."
………………
The JOJO Pirate Ship sailed along the magnetic route and the Grand Route. After leaving the stable climate environment around the island, the sea began to reveal its true appearance.
Suddenly there were huge waves, lightning and thunder...
The small sailboat bumped among the waves, and a bolt of lightning flashed across, illuminating the colorless girl Rose inside the cabin.
The green phone bug almost fell out of the cabin and fell into the sea. Rose was startled and rushed over to catch the phone bug.
Xiao Lu is extremely calm, and "B.I.B" is also calm at the helm.
…
After the lightning and thunder, suddenly strong winds came and heavy snow fell.
Rose hid in the cabin, even though she was wearing the cotton-padded clothes she brought from Winter Island, she was still shivering from the cold.
Xiaolu, who was hugged tightly by her, thought for a moment and made pieces of fan-like devices emerge from Castle's body, which turned out to be miniature heaters.
After the heat from the heater left the range of the castle's body, it amplified greatly, enough to spread all over the girl's body.
"It's so warm..." The girl hugged the phone tightly, and her contented voice came along the hot wind.
At an entrance to the castle, Robin was holding a warm sleeping bag that he was about to throw out. After seeing the rows of heaters made by Xiaolu, he couldn't help but smile.
Lin Qi munched on the fruit and walked aside, "This guy is very good at operations."
He opened his mouth and swallowed the whole fruit into his mouth.
Robin reminded: "Lynch, your nose is a little crooked..."
"Really? Wait a minute...what now?"
"Well, I've recovered."
…
Lightning and thunder, heavy snow, storm...
The climate of the Grand Line is so chaotic that no one can predict it in advance. It is pulled across by countless magnetic forces on the sea, and the local climate formed is completely random.
"This is the last bit of food." Rose broke the last bit of bread in her hand and gave a little to Xiao Lu.
Xiao Lu swallowed the remaining piece in her hand whole.
"Ah!" Rose exclaimed, almost crying but without tears, "Why are you like this? I'm so hungry..."
After sadly eating the bit of bread she had given to the phone bug, the girl sighed and glanced at the record pointer in front of the rudder. The ship... was still sailing in the direction of the pointer.
There is something controlling this ship... This conjecture flashed through Rose's mind, and she stared at the calm sea for the time being in a daze.
At the entrance of the castle outside the small green body, Lynch and Robin sat here, holding a cup of flower milk tea and black tea respectively. They took a sip in unison and observed the girl outside who had been supporting herself on the empty boat for two or three days.
.
"No matter how stupid you are, you should have guessed that this ship is controlled by something." Lin Qi had returned to his original state and licked the milk on his lips.
"Yeah..." Robin sipped her black tea and said to herself, "But she never shouted into the air or tried to call us..."
Lin Qi touched his chin and thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that she just wants to die?"
"..." Robin was stunned. Before he could think about it, he heard Rose's voice outside the castle: "Ah, is that... a pirate ship?"
In the past few days, Rose had been living with a telephone bug on this ship. Rose was also used to talking to the phone bug. She held the phone bug and looked at the distant sea to the side. Sure enough, there was a small boat far larger than this small boat.
A three-masted sailboat appeared in sight... and on the huge sail, there was a skull pattern representing the identity of the pirate.
The pirate ship is approaching here.
The "B.I.B" at the helm looked at the girl on the side of the ship. It was obvious that she was a little nervous.
However, with the level of development of her Guan Guan Fruit, it is still very easy to escape. She can just open an air duct and sneak onto the other party's ship, sneak to the next island, and then use the Guan Guan Fruit to escape.
It's also very simple.
The pirate ship is getting closer, and you can already see the specific appearance of the skull pattern on the canvas...
Not going to hide? "B.I.B" quietly looked at Rose who was not retreating from the side of the ship.
There was a bang, the sound of heavy objects falling. Rose was startled, and turned around to see an iron rod rolling on the deck.
She raised her head and looked around, "This..."
Where did this iron rod come from?
Rose picked up the iron rod. It was so heavy!
She could barely lift it with both hands. Finally, she had an idea and used the Guan Guan fruit to reshape the iron rod into a steel pipe. After taking it under her control, the iron rod seemed to become much lighter, at least she could swing it freely.
Used as a weapon... The girl looked back at the pirate ship that was getting closer and closer.
At the entrance of the Telephone Bug Castle, Lin Qiqi threw the iron rod and said curiously: "Are you really planning to deal with those pirates head-on?"
"Captain..." Opposite, on the deck of the approaching large pirate ship, the pirate sailors held up their binoculars and aimed at the black flag flying on the top of the small ship.
The captain of the Iron Boots Pirates asked: "Have you seen it clearly? What kind of ship is it?"
"That flag..." The sailor holding the binoculars turned pale with fear, "Captain, that is... JOJO, JOJO Pirates!"
"JoJo Pirates?!!"
All the pirates on the deck were so frightened by the name that they almost fell down. The captain "Iron Shoes" looked serious. After grabbing the telescope, he confirmed the pirate flag on the small boat and murmured to himself in a cold sweat:
"It's really the JOJO Pirates...those two monster pirates! We'll actually encounter them...Why are you still standing there? Turn the wheel! Get out, get out quickly!!"
"yes!!"
The captain turned around and yelled at the top of his lungs, and the crew rolled and crawled to change course.
The big ship actually slowly moved away...
On the small sailboat, Rose, who was holding the iron pipe and waiting nervously, had a look of astonishment on her face. She obviously did not expect that things would suddenly develop like this.
"..." She raised her head and looked at the black flag erected on the ship, "Is it because of the pirate flag? She was scared away..."
Suddenly there was a light movement in her hand, and the iron rod was "eaten" by a green telephone bug.
"Hey!" Rose was shocked, but suddenly opened her mouth wide, because she seemed to find that the phone bug did not "eat" the iron rod, but there was a small hole in its body, and someone seemed to be standing at the entrance of the hole. It was the other party.
Standing at the entrance of the hole, she stretched out her hand and pulled the iron rod, which was obviously too different in proportions, into it... Rose held her breath, as she seemed to understand where the two pirates had gone.
………………
Wow!
The sea beast jumped out of the sea as if it had been punched by someone.
In the sea, he was at ease and flowery. He put down his fist and turned into a ball of petals, which disappeared with the current...
The sea beast that was beaten unconscious turned into a huge shadow and fell towards the small sailboat. Rose on the deck looked up blankly. Just when she thought she was going to be crushed to death, the sea beast disappeared in a whoosh.
not see.
"..." Rose looked at the green phone bug next to her.
The girl hugged her knees and sat on the deck with her head buried in her head. Not long after, the smell of meat wafted up.
She raised her head and saw a plate of fragrant sea monster dinner being thrown out of the green phone bug's body and handed to her.
While Rose was eating the sea beast meat with tears in her eyes, suddenly the ship's hull suddenly bumped into something.
"Huh, we've finally reached the shore." She suddenly heard Giorno's voice.
When he looked up, he saw Giorno and Xu Lun appearing at the bow of the boat. They quickly jumped off the boat and went to the shore.
Rose swallowed quickly and saw the distant view of the island in front of her. It was a strange place with winding mountains in the distance.
Suddenly, the scenery in front of me "sinked"... No, it was rising on its own.
Rose lowered her head and saw that the entire ship was being lifted up by Giorno's hands, and he said: "Hey, can't you get off?"
Rose quickly jumped down with the plate and landed on the shore. She turned around and saw that Giorno had lifted the entire small sailboat and stuffed it all into the mouth of the green phone bug with a smile.
