[Chapter Header Serial·Deck from the World 2·"Mu Zexin Island"]
[The sound of music is floating on the island. In the seaside hut, old Henry, a retired merchant marine, is drinking wine. There is a latest newspaper on the table. The photo of a man named Giorno, also named Lynch, is very conspicuous. Old George looks at the little boy.
The figure of the afro-headed skeleton in the photo also happily shook his head and played the violin...]——
〖Champaign Islands, No. 20 Tree Island〗
The tangled mangrove roots float on the sea, rising and falling in the dark water at night, as if they are breathing.
In the pale moonlight, the Sonny was parked on the shore.
Resin bubbles are constantly popping up on the ground of the tree island, flying all over the sky in the moonlight. The night is quiet, the tide is rushing, and the scene is like a dream.
"Uh huh huh huh huh"
There were several figures on the Sonny, and a low hum could be heard coming from them.
Marianne held the drawing board and casually traced the fantastic night scene of Shampoo Land in front of her.
On the surrounding deck were Annie, Amorin and her daughter, Nami who had taken a shower and changed clothes, the perverted reformer Franky, and Brooke who was humming like a child to sleep.
Mellie, who was lying on his afro and yawning, was not coaxed to sleep by the lullaby. Instead, Franky, Annie, Amorine, and Nami were all around her, listening to Brooke's magnetic tones that penetrated deep into the soul, and fell into unconsciousness.
into dreamland.
Suddenly, on the quiet moonlit night, a whale roar came from the sea.
"Rabb?" Brooke's humming stopped, "Yo ho ho, it seems they are coming."
"Brother Hei?"
Meili's eyes lit up in the afro, and she couldn't wait to fly out. Like a transparent little ghost in the shape of a sailor, she swung to the top of the cabin. She stood on her feet and looked far away, and she saw, on the black undulating sea, a ship.
The pirate ship was sailing toward them in the moonlight. The mermaid sister was leading the way in front of the pirate ship, and the big whale Rab was circling the pirate ship, shouting happily.
"Okay, okay, stop shaking the cloth."
Lynch's voice came from the swaying bow of the ship and among the longing figures, "If you move your huge body, it will make the current unstable."
"Roar..." Labu floated on the water aggrievedly.
Lin Qi smiled, jumped off the boat, jumped on top of Rab, and shouted: "Go!"
"Roar!"
Rab happily swam to the Sonny on the shore.
The turbulent waves made the mermaid Kemi who was following him giggle. On the pirate ship that was rocking behind him, Shanks shouted: "We also want to ride on the Island Whale. How treacherous!"
"Brother Hei!!"
As soon as Lynch approached the Sonny in the Labu, he saw a small shadow flying towards him and threw himself into his arms.
Ouch yo...
Lin Qi carefully caught the little guy, really afraid that it would break him.
Lynch jumped to the Sonny and stepped on the railing of the boat. The boat spirit in his arms raised his head and looked at him with big eyes, looking left and right, a little confused.
"What's wrong?" Lynch smiled and rubbed Merry's little head wearing a sailor hood, "Don't you recognize me?"
"You are Brother Hei!" Meili shook her head and hugged Lin Qi tightly like a facehugger.
"It can actually recognize it?" Marianne walked over with the drawing board on her back, followed by Anne and Amoline, mother and daughter who woke up rubbing their eyes.
"Yo ho ho ho... Because Meili distinguishes different people through the breath of their souls." Brooke walked over gracefully, with a realistic smile on the skull's face.
"Hmm!" Mei Li was put on Lynch's shoulders and sat down. The little guy gestured with his hands in a "Look how awesome I am" gesture.
"Lin..." Amorin walked over, hesitant.
Lynch smiled and said: "It's the same thing if you call me Giorno."
"Brother Giorno!" Amorin immediately laughed. It was still a name that had been remembered in her heart for a long time, and it sounded more affectionate when pronounced.
"Lynch!"
Nami and Franky also woke up and walked over. When they saw Lynch sitting on Mei Li's shoulders, they couldn't help but smile.
The skinny and haggard figure in the prison, the unstoppable figure who killed everyone in Malinfandel, and the black-armored figure who had been on the ship like a ghost knight, gradually overlapped in the man in front of him.
Sister Robin, who always hides sadness and haggard, even the pirate empress of Nine Snakes Island... The 2.2 billion Bailey bounty pirate in the newspaper, Sister Robin and Luffy's grandfather said, ten years ago for
Protect your loved ones and face the four navy generals alone... In order to repay your kindness, Cavendish, Marianne, Amorin, Anne, Luo, Xiaocao, who decided to go to the prison together... the relationships and emotions of many people
, fate, the central point of connection is Lynch.
Lynch looked at them and asked, "Where are the others?"
"Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Chopper have all taken senbei and are falling asleep to rest their bodies." Franky said, "Before Chopper fell asleep, he worked hard to treat everyone, and now he is in vain.
Bearded's pirates are also resting on the island. The few people in the submarine have left. I heard that they have decided to continue to the new world. Those who are still awake are waiting for news from you.
Already."
The ones on the submarine? Lynch understood that he was referring to Luo and baby5.
Brooke said: "Merry seemed to be frightened about what happened on Judiciary Island last time. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see you and Robin again, so I have to wait here for you to come back."
"No way..." Meili on Lin Qi's shoulder suddenly felt shy. She turned her head and hid her face behind Lin Qi's neck. But with her face hidden behind her, she just happened to see Luo, who was also smiling on the pirate ship approaching.
Bin.
"It's no wonder," Lynch nodded, "He has a bad reputation as a shipwreck!"
"Huh?" Others asked.
"Sister Robin!"
Robin jumped from the red-haired boat to the Sonny with Hancock and Sundar. Nami immediately cheered and threw herself at Robin to hug her.
Haili, Rab laughed happily.
"I forgot to mention it before, so I'll make it up now."
Brooke straightened his suit sleeves, walked up to Lynch and held out his skull palm, "Mr. Lynch, thank you... for everything you have done for Filibuster."
Tears appeared in the dark eye holes of the skull.
If Lynch and Robin hadn't told Rab the truth about their Lombard Pirates more than 20 years ago at Twin Capes, then Rab wouldn't have known how many years of pain, confusion and disappointment this kid would have had.
Based on Brooke's life experience, he can also imagine that without Lynch and Robin, wandering in the Magic Triangle, he might still be able to meet the Straw Hat Pirates and join them, but he would not be able to join them so early.
Reunion with Rab...
"It's so wonderful to see Rab again..." The skeleton held Lynch's palm with both hands and cried bitterly.
Lin Qi smiled and said: "Actually, we didn't do anything. If you want to thank me, can you lend me the Underworld Fruit for fun?"
"No, stop joking, Mr. Lynch!" Brooke said quickly, "I will die without the Underworld Fruit..."
"Hahaha, you're kidding!" Lynch patted Brooke on the shoulder. With his afro, Brooke's height was almost 2.6 meters, and he was the first person of similar height to himself that Lynch had not seen in a long time.
"Hey, Lynch, do you still want to go?"
Over there, the red-haired pirate ship has stopped. Shanks and his group waved to them from the shore across the night, "Go to Mr. Rayleigh's side. Ace and the others should be there."
So everyone walked towards the depths of the Chambord Islands together.
Oops, Kemi climbed ashore from the sea, and suddenly a "lifebuoy" made of resin bubbles was handed to her eyes. She looked up and saw a smiling Robin.
"Thank you." Kemi hesitated, "I'd better wear a skirt..."
"Don't worry, no one can hurt you." Robin said, putting the bubble trap on Kemi's fish tail, so that he could float on the shore and move freely.
Kemi lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, hugged Robin's arm, and walked beside Robin as if swimming in the air. She smiled and said, "Sister Robin, you look so beautiful when you smile."
"Did I seldom smile before?" Robin touched his face.
Lynch, who was walking backwards in the crowd in front, was waving towards them, telling them to hurry up. Hancock and Sanda on the side also looked back.
"Here we come!" Cammy swung her fish tail and happily chased after Robin.
…
"The people in the Shampoo Islands are still so simple and honest!"
In the night, Lynch said with a smile.
The group of them set off from Tree Island No. 20 and walked towards Tree Island No. 13, where Xia Qi’s bar is located.
In the hazy night, there was an uneasy atmosphere flowing in the silence, and the faint smell of blood still lingered in the air swept by the evening breeze.
All over the Chambord Islands, restless atmospheres were dancing. Many miscellaneous fish took advantage of the night to fight, kill and set fire to each other. It was not clear whether they were pirates or local gangsters.
Passing by Tree Island No. 15, everyone passed by a bridge. Suddenly, a group of fierce and majestic figures jumped out from the bridge. They all exuded a strong stench. They laughed evilly and said: "Stop! This bridge is our domineering pirate group."
Yes! Do you know who our captain is? He is known as the 'Dominator of the Western Sea' and has a bounty of 92 million Baileys... a big... pirate..."
As these people talked, they gradually saw the faces of the people walking on the bridge.
"Huh?" Shanks looked confused.
"Huh?" Lynch looked up.
Behind them, Beckman, Jesus Bu, Lackey Lu, and Marco... Sandasonia, Hancock, Robin, Kemi, Nami, Franky, Brooke, Marianne, Anne
, Amorin…
Lynch?!
And the Pirate Empress, the Son of the Devil?
Why are you blocking the road at night to commit robbery and bumping into so many big shots?
It will scare people to death!
Moreover, could the red-haired man who was chatting and laughing with Lin Qi be the red-haired one, Shanks, one of the Four Emperors?!
Wait, that pineapple head, could it be Marco, the captain of Whitebeard’s First Division?!
Do you want this?
The pirates who blocked the bridge and robbed all had pale faces, cold sweat on their foreheads, and their legs were shaking. As these people walked step by step from the bridge, some people's crotches got wet one after another, and their legs became weak.
He fell to the ground.
Shanks and the others didn't care much about these trash fish, but some people couldn't help it.
"It's disgusting to look at, get out of here!"
Hancock's overbearing look swept out, shocking these pirates until their eyes turned white and they fainted on the roadside.
The group of people passed by at an undiminished speed, and a dark shadow emerged from Lynch's body. Behind them, there were bursts of cracking sounds of broken bones, and the sound of falling into the sea.
Although Shanks and the others would not do this themselves, they had no objections to Lynch's actions.
…
Soon, everyone crossed a suspension bridge and stepped onto the ground of Tree Island No. 13.
Approaching Xia Qi's rip-off bar, in a forest, you can see pirates supporting each other, lying or leaning against each other, sleeping in the open.
They were all members of the Whitebeard Pirates. Everyone was wounded and covered with blood-stained bandages. Some of them were still awake, wearing plaster slings, with dull faces, stirring the burning bonfire.
.
Among the people covered with thin blankets, you can see Fire Fist Ace among them. Ace, who also took the natural system of Senzu beans and was seriously injured and exhausted before that, obviously suffered more serious backlash than Nami.
Much more, he is still asleep now.
Marco held the shock fruit that Lynch gave him, his fingertips were trembling and cold. He felt sad in his heart. Right before his eyes, his father died... He really didn't know how to explain it to his brothers.
Shanks patted Marco on the shoulder and motioned for him to go over and join the Whitebeard Pirates first.
In the woods at night, there were waves of low-pitched cries, growls, and roars of grief and anger from Marco and the others...Lynch, Shanks and others continued towards Xia Qi's rip-off bar.
On the blankets spread on the slopes around the not-so-luxurious bar, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper and Cavendish Usopp, who were covered in bandages and sleeping, seemed to have been busy.
Taking care of these sleeping companions, she lay tiredly on the grass, leaning on her hands and crossing her legs to look at the night sky. Bonnie sat on the slope not far away with her knees folded, her face buried in the ground and she didn't know whether she was asleep or not.
Still hasn't recovered from the shock of the bear being completely transformed into a living weapon without personality...
On the steps, the gray-haired Rayleigh was holding a bottle of wine, looking at the moon and drinking sip after sip.
Xia Qi was also sitting beside her, with her legs crossed and a cigarette between her fingers, surrounded by dark mist.
Lynch and others walked out of the woods. As soon as they got closer, Rayleigh stopped holding the wine bottle to his lips and looked over.
"Finally here." Xia Qi stood up with a smile.
Bonnie raised her head, with red eyes, and looked at Hancock and others who were approaching.
Usopp also sat up and looked at Lynch, Robin and Nami in surprise. He waved vigorously until he saw the man with dreadlocks and thick lips following the red hair.
The figure was immediately stunned.
"Mr. Rayleigh." Shanks waved as he walked.
Reilly stood in front of the small bar, holding a bottle of wine and asked: "Is Whitebeard really gone?"
"Yeah." Shanks said.
"..." Reilly sighed softly, closed his eyes, turned the bottle upside down, sprinkled it on the grass in front of him, and murmured, "Newgate, you're leaving too."
"Dad!!!"
Suddenly, Usopp's shouting sounded nearby, and the sound even woke up Cavendish, who was lying in a coma. He didn't eat fairy beans, so he was easily awakened, but it was his other personality, White Horse, that woke up.
"Hey hey hey..." White Horse exuded an evil aura and went around to touch the knife. But when he raised his head, he saw Lynch, Robin, Hancock, Shanks, and Rayleigh, especially Lynch who was looking at him.
After taking a look... Baima immediately rolled his eyes and retreated angrily to the corner of Cavendish's consciousness, letting Cavendish lie down and fall asleep again. He is a madman Baima, not a fool Baima. He is obviously someone who can't beheaded.
And there was a crowd gathered, so he didn't want to cause trouble and get beaten.
However, Jesus' attention was on his son.
He smiled and looked at Usopp, who was trembling all over and with tears in his eyes, shouting and rushing towards him, and waved: "Haha, Usopp, you have grown so big! You look just like your mother!"
"Dad..."
With tears in his eyes, Usopp ran over, and when he got closer, with Nami, Franky and Brook looking at him in surprise, he punched Jesus Bu hard in the face.
boom!
Jesus Bu, who had a strong physique, was knocked away by his son's punch. He rolled backwards on the ground with his butt in the air.
"Hahaha, you were beaten by your own son!" Instead of stopping him, Lackey Lu and his fellow shipmates laughed happily.
Shanks looked at Jesus Bu with his butt sticking out. Jesus Bu sat up, patted the grass clippings and resin slime on his head, sighed and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll talk to Usopp alone."
Usopp's eyes were red and he walked towards Jesus with tears in his eyes.
"Is he okay?" Nami looked back at Usopp, who was punching and kicking his father. She was surprised and worried, "I remember that Usopp admired his pirate father. This is
What's wrong……"
Frankie smiled and said: "When men fight, it doesn't mean they hate each other."
"It's so difficult to understand..." Kemi marveled, and Nami nodded in sympathy.
Lynch, Robin, Hancock, Sanda, Red Hair, Beckman, Lackey Lu and others followed Reilly and Xia Qi into the bar.
Usopp left, and Luffy, Chopper and others who were unconscious could not be left alone to take care of them. Annie and Amorin stayed outside to help. Nami, Brooke, Franky and Marianne followed into the house.
inside……
In the rip-off bar, the lights were bright, the wine was pouring down, and the clinking of wine glasses was heard one after another.
…
In the small bar, behind the bar, Xia Qi was pouring wine and making some fried rice and other food for everyone to go with the wine.
Sitting on the seats in front of the bar were Sanda, Hancock, Robin, Nami, and Kemi. The mermaid and the hypnotist were both drinking for the first time, and their faces were red. They quickly changed to a glass of juice and milk each.
.
On both sides of the room, people were standing or sitting. On one side were Franky, Brooke, and Merry who finally fell asleep sweetly in Brooke's afro; on the other side were Beckman and other members of the red-haired pirate group.
The only table in the bar, in the shape of a triangle, was occupied by Lynch, Shanks and Rayleigh.
One is the right hand of the former Pirate King, a man known as Hades.
One is the overlord who aspires to conquer the new world and ranks among the Four Pirate Emperors.
One is a super strong man who has returned after disappearing for ten years and is invincible on the battlefield.
Everyone watched the three people drinking and chatting casually.
"It turns out that ten years ago, you were captured by the World Government and the Navy..."
Shanks only found out about this after hearing it mentioned by Rayleigh. He couldn't help but drink and muttered to himself, "No wonder you lost such a big temper and insisted on killing Sengoku and the others..."
If you put yourself in his shoes, who has been holding back your resentment for ten years, who can be more restrained than Lynch?
Beckman, Franky and others shook their heads and put themselves in their shoes... If they put themselves in their shoes, let alone today's revenge, they might not be able to successfully survive these ten years under such circumstances!
However, I don't think Lynch has such extreme negative emotions as hatred... Brooke and Marian looked thoughtfully at Lynch who poured another glass of wine.
Lynch looked at the slightly swaying wine in the glass and suddenly said: "Shanks, you once asked me, what is my dream?"
"Oh?" Shanks also remembered what happened after the Swordsman Competition, when he took Lynch and Robin to the island where Captain Roger and Whitebeard fought.
Next to Hancock, Robin was sitting at the bar. She naturally remembered that her dream was to unravel the historical truth of the blank century, but Lynch's answer at the time was, "My dream...maybe is to find out
Just a dream!"
Shanks couldn't help but smile: "So, have you found your dream?"
"I didn't think I would have any so-called dreams, but..." Lynch drank the glass, leaned on the back of the chair with his arms folded, crossed his legs and muttered to himself, "Ten years of solitude, facing myself
, stay away from this world... For the first time, I have such a question: Is that it? If I die now, will I just come to this world in vain and leave nothing behind? "
…
Under the moonlight, on the shore of Tree Island No. 13 in Shampoo Land, Jesus Bu and Usopp, father and son, were sitting together.
Usopp wiped away his tears.
"Can we have a good chat now?" Jesus said with a bruised nose and swollen face, rubbing Usopp's head, "You're quite strong! I was originally worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt to the life of a pirate, but now it seems that you are old
Dad is worrying too much! Hahaha..."
"When I was little, I used to hate you." Usopp suddenly said, making Jesus suddenly startled.
Usopp clenched his fists and said: "I haven't seen my father since I can remember. He is called a wild boy by others. Do you think I would have any good impressions of such a father?"
Jesus Bummer.
"But..." Usopp raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes, and he choked, "You know, mom always told me how amazing my pirate dad was... until she died of illness.
At the last moment, she kept saying that being able to marry you was the last thing she regretted! I...I definitely didn’t want my mother to regret it, so from that day on I swore that I must use my pirate skills to
Dad is proud, I will definitely become a pirate like you!"
"Usopp..." Jesus reached out to touch Usopp's head, but Usopp slapped him away.
Usopp took a deep breath, stood up, looked at Jesus Bu, and shouted with firm eyes: "Then I will surpass you! I will become the greatest, bravest, and strongest sea warrior greater than you! I...
…”
Jesus sighed deeply, hugged Usopp into his arms, and remained silent.
…
"So now I have a dream. I want to pass on this ripple fist!"
Lin Qi banged his feet on the table and said, "There is a saying in my hometown that when people pass by, they leave their names, and when geese pass by, they leave their voices. It's okay to write books and preach. But we, Old Lin, are not a cultured person and can't write books, so we have to teach boxing.
Got it!"
He looked at his palm, slowly clenched it, and the blue-black ripples of domineering energy covered his palm.
Shanks complained: "I'm afraid not everyone can learn your domineering attitude!"
It was only today that he found out that Lin Qi's domineering look was not awakened, but was developed by this kid.
Who is this?
With Mr. Reilly's testimony, Shanks naturally did not doubt the authenticity. He was surprised that Lynch's experience of becoming stronger along the way was truly a path unlike anyone else's.
Have you developed your overlord look?
It also combines life force with domineering energy to form such a special, rippled domineering energy that seems to have vitality?
"How will you know if you don't try?" Lin Qi laughed, "When you come to this world, you have to do something and leave something behind. Lily Ripple Fist... I also want the name 'Lily' to let more people know it.
."
"lily?"
Shanks and Rayleigh had something in their hearts and looked at each other, suddenly remembering something, "Is that your mother's name, Lynch?"
