[Western Sea, Rath Gap Island. A figure holding a newspaper with news about the young hunter "Giorno" slowly came to the hillside outside the town where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant. The wind was blowing slowly.]
----------------------------------
Merchant ship, deck.
A tall and thick man was wrestling shirtless with a half-tall black-haired boy. Some sailors gathered around to watch the fun.
"come on!"
"Don't lose to a little devil!"
"Giorno is awesome! Come on!"
Lin Qi fought against the big man in front of him who was covered in sweat and stinking of sweat. His seemingly slender arms bulged out with clear-cut muscles, and his entire upper body seemed to have swelled and his strength increased greatly.
Especially under his feet, the wooden deck creaked.
This guy has such amazing strength... The big man struggled to hold on, but in the end he was unable to hold on, and was thrown directly out by Lynch. Boom! The deck trembled.
"Okay!!" "Uu~~!!"
The onlookers either applauded, or booed, or exchanged money with each other, seeming to place bets on who would win the wrestling...
"call--!!"
Lin Qi let out a long breath of hot breath, and after relaxing, the muscles in his limbs became sore.
He casually sat on the deck leaning against the cabin wall, taking a rest in the sea breeze.
The ghostly "B.I.B" appeared behind him and beside him, constantly massaging the body's limbs, shoulders and back.
It has all the memories and experiences of the main body, and naturally knows better than anyone else which parts of the main body need massage and relaxation.
Lin Qi closed his eyes and took long breaths, as if he was entering a deep rest, and his physical strength was rapidly recovering.
Intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Qi could vaguely feel his limbs, shoulders, back, head, feet...even his internal organs, the rushing blood in his blood vessels...the pacing and beating of his heart...and even his thick hair and soft skin.
There seems to be some kind of breath belonging to the essence of life flowing between the hair and hair...
The fatigue and pain accumulated in the body are like red snow scattered everywhere. With the rise and fall of his long breathing, under the scorching sun of the spirit, the red snow melts rapidly...
"Pirate!"
"There's a pirate ship ahead..."
Lynch was awakened by the exclamations on the deck. He opened his eyes and yawned. He looked around refreshed and saw a pirate ship passing by about a few hundred meters in front of the merchant ship.
"They're coming this way!"
"Damn it, did you notice us?!"
Experienced sailors quickly identified the movement of the pirate ship in front of them. Many sailors drew their weapons and stood ready.
Merchant ships traveling on the sea naturally have escorts accompanying them.
"The flag of the pirate group..." Lynch raised his hand and looked at the skull and crossbones flag on the pirate ship. The "B.I.B" on the side quickly compared it with the "Pirate Encyclopedia of the West Sea" in the "memory bank" and told the body the corresponding information.
"The captain only has a bounty of 1.4 million Baileys..." He smacked his lips and smiled, "The captain belongs to me, and the rest belongs to you, how about it?"
Old Henry also came out, and his originally solemn brows relaxed slightly, "Then I'll leave it to you."
He knew that this boy was the rumored Devil Fruit user.
In addition, he has considerable strength. The three-legged men on his ship may not be enough for this young man to fight.
This can be seen by comparing the shocked expressions of the sailors around him after the young man said these words.
…
The sky was dim and it was already evening.
The two-masted merchant ship docked slowly at the port of the next island.
The sailors of the merchant ship unloaded various cargos, while Lynch put on his backpack, carried a large box in one hand, and a pirate captain worth 1.4 million Baileys in the other hand, and jumped off the ship.
"If you have a chance, take our ship~!" Someone on the merchant ship waved goodbye.
Lynch grabbed the pirates' claws and waved to them.
"What a strange and powerful young man!" Old Henry on the merchant ship murmured to himself.
…
Enter the island's town.
Walking on the street, pedestrians looked at Lynch one after another.
This young man's behavior is really too unique. He is carrying a big bag, a big box in one hand, and dragging a big man who seems to be unconscious with the other hand... Looking at his appearance, could he be a strong pirate?
!
Lynch was walking as if there was no one else around and saw a group of people in black suits. He asked politely: "Which direction is the naval base on this island?"
"Ah?" A question mark popped up on the heads of the men in black suits. Where did such a short-sighted boy come from? "Get away, dare to block the way of our 'shotgun'? Boy, do you want to die?"
"Shotgun"? Lin Qi pondered and listened carefully. A black armor appeared in his ears. The latter reminded: "One of the five major gangsters in the West Sea has recruited "Jotaro Kujo" before..."
"What are you looking at!" The man in the black suit cursed at the passers-by who were standing around, "If you don't come here to stop this kid, are you with him and want to provoke our 'shotgun' guy?"
Passers-by were shocked, could this happen to them?!
At this time, Lynch passed between several black suits.
"Kid, who allowed you to leave?!" The men in black suits were angry, reaching out to grab Lynch's hair, backpack, and box, "Stop, let me check your kid's... ah!!"
With a whoosh, the man screamed and disappeared on the spot.
Lynch walked from the front to the end of these black suits, and the black suits said "ah", "ah", "ah" one by one... and disappeared on the spot.
Many passers-by opened their mouths in shock.
Some people wiped their eyes, and those with better eyesight were also wondering if they had seen it wrong... Just now, with every step the child took, there was a member of "Shotgun", and a black hole appeared on the ground under his feet, and he lost his footing and fell.
But what about the hole?
Is there any hole in the ground??
"I hope there are caves, underground water or something below..." Lynch said to himself insincerely. "I hope you are okay!"
…
boom!
The door to the bar was kicked open.
The noisy bar was quiet for a moment.
This scene seems so similar... Lin Qi put down his feet, gestured to his full hands, and said with a smile: "I can't free my hands, it's okay, you continue."
With that said, he came to a table and sat down, put down his backpack and box, threw the dead pirate to the ground, and stepped on it with his feet.
"I'm so hungry, let's get something to eat!" Lin Qi pulled out a wad of banknotes.
In the bar, many pairs of eyes looked at the intruding young man intentionally or unintentionally.
Someone saw the banknotes in his hand, the bulging backpack, and the big box.
Some people carefully looked at this young man's facial features, as if they had seen him somewhere.
Someone...looked at the pirate under the boy's feet with surprise. Damn, that's not...this is a pirate with a bounty of 1.4 million beli. He fell under the feet of this kid?!
And somewhere where these people couldn't see, a dark mask with white eyes glowed, floating and flying around the bar, observing the drinkers with different expressions.
When the food was served, Lin Qi ate happily, and even stepped on it when he was happy.
Poof! The pirate under his feet half woke up and started to struggle immediately. But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get up from one of Lynch's feet, and his face turned red.
Not just...not just one of his feet!! The pirate roared in his heart.
What he couldn't see was that there was a faceless black armor sitting next to Lynch's foot that was stepping on his chest. "B.I.B" noticed that the man had woken up and casually punched him in the head.
Wow! The 1.4 million pirate's vision went dark, and he fainted again in frustration.
…
Lynch had enough to eat and drink, and soon he easily found out the location of the naval base in the crowded bar.
Watching his leaving figure.
"It turns out he is the young hunter mentioned in the newspaper recently..."
"what do you say that is?"
"Qiao...Qiaoqiao or something?"
The drinkers in the discussion glanced at the place where Lynch asked just now. A drunk man was knocked unconscious. "Forget it, what the hell, keep drinking!"
…
Naval Base.
"Are you that Giorno?"
"You are indeed as young as the newspaper said..."
"It's verified that the bounty of 1.4 million Baileys is correct."
Lynch skillfully threw the half-dead pirate to the navy for disposal, turned around and left with his backpack and suitcase.
However, there was a navy man who looked at Lin Qi's back with a thoughtful look on his face.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"The boy's appearance and features look like he's from that country..." The navy quickly shook his head, "But the name doesn't look like him. Forget it!"
"that country?"
The other colleagues, the sailors, all thought of their other weird colleague. The voice and smile of that person appeared in the bubbles above their heads, and they couldn't help but shudder.
"He has been gone for several days, why does he remind us of bad scenes!!"
"Feel sorry……"
…
"How many shop windows have I wandered into, how many hotels have I stayed in..."
Lynch put the key in his pocket, directly cut a hole in the hotel room door and walked in.
"Uh, what's the last sentence about?"
Lin Qi threw down the salute, fell onto the big bed, looked at the ceiling and asked, "Hey, bro, there is a date in One Piece, right? What's today's date?"
"B.I.B" in jet black armor appeared on the floor, his eyes glowing white, and announced a date.
"Really!"
Lin Qi murmured to himself. "It's strange. I couldn't remember their birthdays before, but now I suddenly remember them so clearly!"
"..." The armor accompanies the silence.
Lin Qi patted his belly and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I'm full, otherwise I should have had a bowl of longevity noodles!"
He indulged himself and lay there for a while, then quickly patted his cheeks, jumped up and down from the bed, stretched his arms, and said, "Let's go outside and continue practicing!"
He looked at the window, took a few steps back, then sprinted forward, hitting the window and the wall directly.
Phew, he "hit" a big hole in the wall and window and jumped out of the hotel.
…
seaside.
Lynch put the green phone bug on the ground and practiced the youth version of shaving and iron with it for a while.
He looked at the surging sea water, touched his chin, and snapped his fingers.
"Unload equipment!"
"B.I.B", who was exercising silently on the side, disassembled his left arm covered with blue flame patterns, flew to the back of the main body, and took out the chip of Guangguan Fruit from his body.
Lin Qi looked at the sea and geared up.
With a flick of his feet, he took off his shoes and stepped on them with his bare feet.
"Wuhu! Take off!"
Lynch jumped down.
“Bulu?!!!”
The green phone bug that was dozing on the ground suddenly started to stir.
It looked back and saw that "B.I.B"'s left arm clicked back and continued to exercise, seemingly not caring about Lynch jumping into the sea.
"Bulu?"
With a shudder, Little Green jumped to the shore and lowered his head to look at the sea.
Lin Qi jumped in the air, concentrating on using the "Moon Step" among the six moves, 歘, 歘, 歘... His two bare feet kept kicking in the air.
The explosive power of shaving...the continuous hardening of iron?
Suddenly, there seemed to be a gust of wind beneath my feet.
Lin Qi showed a hint of joy. It felt as if what he was stepping on was not air, but soft balloons.
Plop!
Before Lynch could continue to think about it, the others had already fallen freely into the sea.
Gululu...
During the process of sinking in the sea, Lin Qi puffed up his cheeks, folded his arms, crossed his legs, lost in thought, and let his body writhe in the water.
Soon, he was holding his arms and holding his breath while keeping other parts of his body motionless, using only his feet to step in the water.
Wow, wow, wow...
The water flow under his feet became heavier and heavier, and the thrust force became stronger.
…
"Wow", "Wow"...
The black-haired boy stepped on his feet and "stood" on the sea. The water surged, but it never reached his knees.
"..." Lin Qi's face was filled with astonishment.
My feet are obviously trying to do a cool and cool air walk using the Moon Step, but why are they making such a fuss... It seems like they are just treading water?!
This is not a moon step at all!
This is a wave!
"Tsk, my legs are still not strong enough!"
Lin Qi is not discouraged. His current physical strength is not enough, which is expected.
If it's not enough, then keep practicing.
If Lynch stepped on it, he would step on it hard.
He didn't know how long he had been treading water, but just when he was extremely tired, he was about to go ashore.
"Huh? Why have you become more relaxed?"
Lin Qi felt a rising current rising from the waves under his feet. He touched his chin and muttered to himself, "Am I really such a genius and am I making such rapid progress?!"
At this time, he had almost stopped his "waving steps", but there were still waves of water rising up, dragging him back from sinking.
A question mark slowly appeared on Lynch's head.
He looked down and saw that there seemed to be a huge black shadow rising rapidly from the water! Soon, "crash", the sea surface broke open, dragging Lin Qi up.
Lin Qi's feet swayed and he fell to the "ground".
Hearing the abnormal sound of huge waves, "B.I.B" immediately stopped moving and flew towards the shore. The green phone bug was also shouting "bulu" and "bulu" at the sea surface.
"B.I.B" flew down, his eyes glowing with white light, and he immediately saw that there was actually a giant floating on the surface of the sea where there was nothing at first... a giant with a strong build, and even a simple visual inspection was more than ten meters high!
This giant has black hair and a beard, round eyes, long eyelashes and thick lips. Judging from the proportions, he is obviously short and short. He wears a huge navy shirt uniform, which is unbuttoned, exposing his thick chest hair... What is even more frightening is that he does not
Soku, who was wearing a navy uniform, was wearing a weird huge pleated skirt...
At this time, Lin Qi in his true form was sitting on the belly of this giant floating on the sea.
"...?" Lin Qi and the giant looked at each other. The latter's mouth was tightly closed at this time, and his slightly fat face was bulging. "What are you doing? Holding your breath?"
Bang bang, he patted the bulging fat belly under the seat.
"I hate it! Don't take pictures of me!" The giant man with beards all over his chin said in a thick voice, "Do you like me?"
When he opened his mouth, he immediately sucked in a lot of air and let it out.
"Ah, bad..." the bearded giant murmured. Soon, just like he floated, Gululu sank again and was immersed in the sea.
Lynch used "Wave Step" to step on the turbulent sea surface and whistled towards the shore.
Tsk - The arm armor covered with blue lines flew over and entered the sea without causing any splash. It quickly caught up with the giant who was unable to sink. In comparison, the arm armor as big as a mosquito slithered into the giant's full body.
It was Chest Hair's body. Soon, a triangular chip glowing with white light was taken out.
"Woo?"
The giant who could only spit bubbles and sink in the water suddenly changed his eyes, and he felt that his limbs were full of strength again.
