The homeless-looking guy huddled in the corner. Several members in black suits gathered around, beating and kicking him with curses.
The homeless man held his head in silence and curled up to endure.
"If you don't pay back the money the day after tomorrow at the latest, you will be dead." Black Suit took a sip and said with a sinister smile, "I will throw you into the sea. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch one or two fishmen to pay back the money!
"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Several men in black suits laughed and walked away.
"Ouch……"
The tramp let out a cry of pain and struggled to get up. At this moment, a pair of shoes appeared in front of him. He raised his dirty face and saw the figure of a young man standing in front of him through his greasy and sticky hair.
The young man knelt down and squinted his eyes to look at his appearance.
["Who is vomiting on the deck?! Hey, Lynch, go clean up!"]
Lin Qi had "war armor headphones" embedded in his ears, and a virtual screen unfolded in front of his eyes, playing back a fragment of the memory of the original owner of the body found by "B.I.B".
In the picture, the person cursing at "him" looks exactly like the homeless man in front of him.
This is the original Lin Qi who was on the pirate ship after running away from home.
Later, the group of pirates were hunted down and killed. The original owner of the body was lucky and fell into the sea and drifted, and finally drifted to South Chicago Island. Unfortunately, he was a child after all. He was wandering in the wind and rain, his body couldn't bear it, he was seriously injured and sick, and he died.
Side, he was thrown into the garbage dump like a dead dog, waiting to stink... Then Lynch came through time, and his vigorous vitality infused this body with new power.
"Lynch?"
The homeless man pulled back his greasy hair from his face and said in disbelief.
"It's me." Lin Qi said.
He stretched out his hand to the side, and "B.I.B" flew from a distance and threw several warm wallets into the main body's hand.
After opening the wallets he had borrowed from those in black suits, Lynch flipped through them casually, took out the cash notes and handed them to the sloppy and greasy homeless man in front of him.
"How did you get to the point of being so virtuous?"
"How is it possible..." The homeless man clutched several fresh thick stacks of banknotes with his dirty hands blankly, "How are you still alive?"
"You're lucky!" Lin Qi said nonchalantly, "What about you, how come you're still alive?"
The homeless man looked down at himself and said with a wry smile: "Am I still alive?"
………………
Outside the hotel, Lynch specifically asked the boss for a table to set up outside to entertain the homeless man, his former shipmate.
Moreover, the macho giant Morrie in a skirt also came to enjoy the food of the big dog owner Lynch.
"Why do you always look at me?" Morrie held a huge roasted cow and chewed it. Seeing that the tramp always looked up at him, he coquettishly asked, "Do you like me too?"
The tramp shuddered and continued to answer Lynch's question, "...I was lucky enough to float away holding a piece of broken wood. Then I floated to this island and never left again."
"Why don't you leave?" Lynch asked, "Would you rather be bullied by gangs on this island? No way."
The homeless man smiled bitterly and said: "This is better than being... discovered by that person and being hunted down again, right?"
Lin Qi said in astonishment: "Is it that exaggerated? It has been a long time ago, how could that guy still remember it? Even if he remembers it, he may not be able to find you or recognize you, right?"
"You underestimate that...terrible man!" the homeless man said in frustration. "He is called the 'Devil Sheriff' because of his...perverted personality! For the person he wants to arrest,
, he has always fought to the death, no matter how far the other party fled to the end of the world, he would not be able to escape his pursuit..."
But no, the Devil Sheriff can fly! In this sea, there is someone who can fly. I don’t know how much advantage it takes.
"It's even more impossible for him to forget our appearance!" The tramp said with a bitter smile, "It is rumored that he will never forget the appearance of the people he has seen with his eyes..."
"Are you talking about the 'Devil Sheriff' Lafayette?" Morrie suddenly tilted his head and came down.
The homeless man was startled and almost got under the table. Lynch said: "Yes."
"So you have been captured by him before..." Mori said to himself, "I heard that he has bird-like Devil Fruit abilities! And he is also a very famous hypnosis master in the West Sea! With his level of hypnosis, it is indeed incredible.
He may forget the face of anyone he has ever seen... Rumor has it that he likes to use hypnosis to torture criminals."
The homeless man's face turned pale and he was trembling with fear.
This psychological shadow is huge! Lin Qi sighed secretly.
"This person can fly, has an invincible memory, is also a devil police chief, and has no shortage of information channels. It really looks scary!" Lin Qi pondered, "But after I survived by luck, I also wandered around the West Sea.
It’s been several months, why hasn’t he come to arrest me?”
The tramp's eyes lit up. Maybe... the rumors of the devil police chief were exaggerated? There is no danger in escaping from the island?
Morrie said: "Perhaps the person you said threw you into the trash...is Lafayette himself!"
The homeless man trembled and said, "Absolutely right! He must have confirmed your death before crossing out your name..."
Lynch looked back at the pale, perverted face that remained in the memory of the original owner of the body, and then thought about the plot of Lafayette in the comics... What a troublesome guy!
"Finally, do you still remember who I am?"
Lynch tapped his fingers on the table.
The homeless man was stunned.
"After I recovered by luck, I forgot a lot of things in my head..." Lynch knocked on his temple and said nonchalantly, "Have I told you before, where do I come from? Where is my hometown...
An island?”
The tramp was confused for a moment, frowned in thought, and said hesitantly: "I... Lasgap Island, maybe? You seem to be... going to sea to find something."
"What are you looking for?"
"I don't remember this."
"I don't remember..." Lin Qi stopped tapping his finger on the table, "Forget it."
………………
The tramp is gone.
Whether he spent the money Lynch gave him on gambling or drinking, or whether he actually used it to repay the money... it was none of Lynch's business.
It's not Lynch's money anyway.
"Then, next is this pirate group!"
On the coast, Lynch unfolded a chart of the West Sea on the ground, pointed at an area, and said to Mori beside him, "It is said that they have been in this area recently. If we go there now, we should be able to catch them!"
"
"It's no problem to catch pirates." Mori pointed at the orchid, "You know your hometown is on Rath Gap Island, right? Don't you want to go back and have a look?"
Lynch lowered his head and looked at the corner of the chart. Rath Gap Island... Geographically speaking, the location is very similar to the island where Rogge Town is located in the East China Sea. They are both the places closest to the intersection of the Grand Line.
"Let's talk about this later!"
………………
Morrie was about to dig a hole and advance under the seabed as before, but Lynch stopped him.
"I have a new idea." Lynch smiled, "How's your swimming level?"
He waved his hand. "B.I.B", wrapped in dark substitute energy, flew to Mori and took out the push fruit chip from his body.
"..." Mori looked at his big hands and smiled honestly, "It was you who saved me before!"
Lin Qi also smiled, "Sure enough, you have noticed it a long time ago."
"No problem, I'm a very good swimmer~!" Morrie gave a thumbs up, cheered, and jumped into the sea, causing huge waves and covering Lynch on the shore.
"..." Lin Qi, who had Guan Guan Fruit, felt slightly uncomfortable. He walked to the beach and put one hand into the sea water.
The Guan Guan fruit ability is activated...
Using his hand that reached into the water as the starting point, a circular channel was opened horizontally under the sea surface.
Lin Qi kept his hand immersed in the water to maintain his ability. He also jumped into the sea. When he came to the straight channel created by the ability, he had to pass through it again and fall into the deeper sea. Then he was trapped by the sea and could not use his strength.
At that time... a dark "ghost" flew over at the right time, appeared beside him, and hugged him by the shoulders.
In this way, Lynch was "suspended" in the straight channel below the sea surface, with only one hand reaching into the water outside the channel to maintain the stability of the channel.
"B.I.B" holds the main body and flies forward with very little effort in the passage created by Guan Guan Fruit.
Morrie, who was freestyle swimming side by side, couldn't hide his surprise when he saw this scene.
