Although everyone didn't say it verbally, they basically agreed in their hearts... After a year's absence, Captain Ace's younger brother indeed has the strength to rival Ace or Teach.
This is really amazing. You must know that a year ago on the battlefield, when this straw hat boy wanted to rush to the execution platform to save Ace, he was almost killed by his grandfather Garp with a punch to the head. He had no ability to resist.
When the battle on top was over and everyone gathered at the Chambord Islands, and Lynch proposed to Luffy to stop for a year to practice, Ace, Marco, Bista and others were all present.
But they never expected that in just one year, Lynch would train these new pirates who lacked training to achieve such results.
Not only Luffy, but also the pirate hunter Zoro, the scene where he killed the phoenix Shiliu during the melee was also impressive - Marco, as the last phoenix power user, he knew very well how powerful the phoenix was.
Difficult to deal with! Shiliu, who possesses the immortal flame, may not be as effective as his captain Blackbeard in combat, but when it comes to the tenacity of vitality, he is probably much better than...
It is normal to fight to the death with such an enemy, even if the battle lasts for ten and a half days.
The more likely outcome is to be dragged down by the Phoenix's powerful recovery ability and finally defeated! That is, it is consumed to death. When Marco was weak, he defeated many powerful enemies in this way.
But Sauron only spent one night to kill such a difficult Phoenix!
The immortal blue flame was finally wiped out by the strange green-black domineering power of the pirate hunter, and lost its vitality. Marco did not regret that the Phoenix Fruit left and disappeared without a trace. He was only shocked by Roronoa Zoro.
The strength of this young swordsman, who is silent most of the time among this group of people, is probably as strong as Lynch, er, not inferior to Luffy.
There are also Thunder Banshee, Golden Feet... These people, plus Cavendish who is also not weak and is probably now much stronger, and the black dragon Ayu that Nami mentioned just now...
Only if these people come together can they defeat Lynch?
Marco recalled the green-black Haki and red-black Haki used by Zoro and Luffy respectively... exactly the same as the green-black Haki used by Lynch!
It takes so many powerful people working together to deal with Lin Qi???
These words echoed in the minds of everyone in the White Group, including Ace and Marco, making them unable to recover for a long time.
After all, in this battle, they were fighting Blackbeard and others here. They only saw Luffy, Zoro, Nami and others showing off their prowess, but they failed to spare any effort to pay attention to what was happening on the other side of the island halfway across the island.
Lin Qi and others were fighting a decisive battle with the Big Mom group on one side of the coast... Only when Lin Qi and Big Mom were fighting fiercely, flying over the island, causing thunder and fire to scatter in the sky, it was like a natural disaster coming to the world, and they got a glimpse of it.
.
And a glimpse of one or two means...is there really only "one or two"???
Ace looked at Lynch in disbelief, "If that's really the case, wouldn't you be able to defeat Big Mom very quickly last night?"
Lin Qi waved his hand and said: "Knock her to death with two sticks? That - is not my arrangement."
In other words, were you really sure at that time that you could deal with Auntie quickly???
Everyone—mainly the people in the White Group—had their hair standing on end. Do you know what you are talking about?
Beat him to death with two sticks?
Who do you think that is?
That's Big Mom! The Emperor of the Sea! The world's top pirate who ranks among the Four Emperors along with Dad, Kaido, and Red Hair!
Bista thought of the scene last night when Lynch, who was watching on the sidelines, suppressed the aunt and beat her violently from beginning to end. He even recalled that he even deliberately tried to use the aunt's trick, but only left a little nosebleed...
As the senior captain on the ship, Bista suddenly remembered the name of a person that his father had mentioned when he was drunk in his early years.
The former dad, aunt, Kaido, Golden Lion...Captain John, Wang Zhi, Silver Ax...there were so many names that would have shocked the sea if they were mentioned individually, but they all belonged to that man's pirate group.
.
The man who nearly became the king of the world more than forty years ago!
Rocks D. Gibek.
Bista didn't think that Lynch and Rocks were related... It's just that when he thought of last night's battle and looked at Lynch who was laughing indifferently in front of him, all the names that he could think of came to his mind like a tide.
After retreating, the only one left who is qualified in the end and can be compared with the man now known as the "Eight-Armed Demon" is the "King of the World" back then.
…
Think about it more than ten years ago, when Lynch came to the Moby Dick, chatted and laughed with his father, and started fighting whenever he disagreed...
At that time, it was Lynch who was easily suppressed by his father.
But if it were changed to now...
The sea breeze blew by, fluttering his pineapple-like hair. Marco wore a bandage and walked to the beach to look at the undulating sea in front of him. It had only been less than half a year since he had been crowned the Four Emperors, and Teach, whose ambition had only just begun, was buried in the sea.
The former Phoenix smiled bitterly and said, "Tell me, if Dad was willing to listen to Lynch and get rid of Teach more than ten years ago, would the result now be different?"
Ace stood next to him with his arms folded, the salty sea breeze blowing in his face, and his beard that was as warped as flames trembled slightly.
He was silent for a moment and said: "I have never seen what happened at that time. But you know, no matter how many times it happens again, dad will definitely stop Lynch and protect Teach."
"Yeah..." Marco smiled, "because Teach was still his son at the time."
…
Everyone rested for a long time and then began to clean up the two battlefields.
Most of the captains of the black group were eliminated in the battle. Most of the officers or ordinary pirates on the ships were also killed or injured. As for whether there were any who took advantage of the chaos to escape, maybe there were. With the concerted efforts of the villagers,
With the help of everyone, we can tie up these people for the time being, and then we will decide whether to clean them up, find a broken ship and exile them to the sea, or simply tie them up and throw them at a random naval base.
Especially Weibull, the guy who broke into the battlefield in the middle of the battle and called himself "Whitebeard II".
When Bista and others found the trembling little old lady Ba Jin in the crowd, and the seriously injured Weibull lying in the pile of corpses, they discovered that the pirate hunter Zoro had not only killed the Phoenix
Shiliu almost killed this black group cadre who was one step away from becoming the Shichibukai - Weibull's body seemed to be made entirely of muscles. There was a cut wound deep into the chest and ribs. It was very hideous and terrifying, and there were still residues on the wound.
Sauron's unique green and black domineering ripples.
"Because I saw this guy wielding a big sword," Sauron strolled over with a wine gourd. "On a whim, while the phoenix was recovering, I chopped with this guy for a while."
Are you just like this on a whim? Bista twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Are you interested in learning from each other?"
Sauron chuckled and said, "It's what I asked for."
In addition to the cuts, there were dozens of large and small wounds on Weibull's body, and there were even bloody holes as if he had been penetrated by a laser shot by Admiral Kizaru...
Franky also came over and said dissatisfied: "What Kizaru? This is my uncle's laser weapon! When I killed the fighting champion, I thought I accidentally bumped into someone... It turned out to be him!"
Marco pointed at Weibull, who was trembling and pretending to be comatose, and who was seriously injured but staring at them, and asked: "What should he do? I'm not sure yet whether he is daddy's biological son."
Ace thought for a while and said, "Tie him up first and wait until Jozi comes back."
"Okay." Marco, Bista and others agreed.
Ace turned around and saw Lynch, waved and smiled: "Lynch, do you have any Devil Fruits you don't need? Give this stupid guy one and tie it up with a sea rock, so you don't have to worry about him messing around."
What an insidious boy! Ba Jin, the little old lady who pretended to be dead, secretly hated that she was indeed the blood of that devil...
"Oh? Okay." Lin Qi didn't care much, "Just in time to clear out the warehouse."
"Thanks."
Thank you! Bajin, who was pretending to be dead, was so depressed that he vomited blood. Who was this kid talking to? He was not afraid of flashing his teeth. What is a devil fruit? Clearing out? Do you think you are taking out garbage on the roadside?
etc……
The person that Ace was talking to seemed to be... A terrifying black shadow with eight arms, a body like a mountain, and a shape like a devil appeared in Bajin's mind... She couldn't help but shrink her rickety body into the pile of corpses.
On Lynch's side, Merry, who was acting coquettishly and wanted to be hugged, came to the coast with Robin, Zoro, Sanji, and Brooke. They were here to pick up someone.
Oh no, pick up the boat. And a whale.
"Am I not a human?!" On the approaching Sunny, "Princess Mononoke" Perona jumped angrily, "Why do you want me to drive the ship back for you?"
In fact, Perona's physical body was left on the Sunny, which was parked far away on the sea. She was definitely going back. At this time, she just recalled that she seemed to have fallen into the gang of these people and was prostituted for nothing.
labor force.
When the boat docked, Sanji rushed towards it with heart-eyed eyes, "Miss Perona~!"
Negative...Perona calmly walked past Sanji, and a ghost flew out from her shoulder, passed through Sanji's chest, and then quietly returned to Perona's body.
"It would be best for a pervert like me to disappear..." Sanji knelt down and muttered to himself.
"That's true." Zoro commented later.
Brooke went to chat with Rab and escaped.
Bang! A tied-up man was thrown in front of Lynch and Robin.
"What does this mean?" Lynch lowered his head and looked at the unconscious Charlotte Bray.
"She is not allowed to die yet."
Perona gnashed her teeth in hatred for this old witch. It was this person who had stolen Lord Moria's shadow fruit ability!
Robin said: "So?"
Perona changed her face at the speed of light, raised a doll-like smile, and hugged Robin's arm, "I want the shadow fruit in her body, I can only ask you..."
"Then you should hold my arm!" Lin Qiqi said.
Perona didn't care, and moved forward to pull Lynch's arm - but was dodged. Lynch laughed, "Just kidding, I'm not interested in little girls."
"Oh?" Robin smiled beside him.
"Isn't it just the Shadow Fruit? Do it!" Lin Qi waved his hand, and "B.I.B" flew over from nowhere.
"Brother Katakuri..." Bree seemed to have lost consciousness and was not very clear-headed. She looked at Lin Qi who squatted down and came closer with drowsy eyes, and kept mumbling, "Brother Katakuri..."
"The love between brothers and sisters is so deep!" Lin Qi sighed, taking out the Shadow Fruit chip from Bu Lei's body, "It's none of my business."
I failed to take it out of Moria in the West Sea, and after going around in circles for so many years, I never expected that this fruit would end up in my own hands.
…
Plop!
The unconscious Charlotte Bray, as well as a few seriously injured survivors of the Big Mom Pirates, were thrown into a temporary detention area created by Ace and others on the island.
Looking at the piles of bereaved dogs filling the cave, Lynch asked on a whim about Sanji's "fiancée", Charlotte Brynn from the Three-Eyed Tribe. As a result, there was no trace. The little girl didn't seem to be here at all. Maybe
Still staying on a certain island where the Big Mom Pirates have a stronghold - in fact, when Lynch asked about Brynn, he secretly said "Oh no" the moment he said it.
Sure enough, Robin glanced at him. Lynch shrugged and said righteously: "At least I used her back then, so I have some impressions."
"There is someone more impressive over there." Robin did not continue teasing him, raised his smooth chin, and pointed to a place in the cave filled with people who were either seriously injured or unconscious, or whose eyes were empty.
Lin Qi looked over and couldn't help but be happy, "Hey, isn't this His Majesty the Seven Warriors of the Sea - His Excellency Sand Crocodile?"
Crocodile, whose body was covered with scars, most of which were charred, and even seemed to have pulsating arcs of electricity, suddenly became even more ugly. When Lynch and Nicole Robin entered the cave, he was already weakening as much as possible.
You already have a sense of existence, why did this guy still notice you?
This bastard is still as annoying as ever. He opens his mouth and pokes people's wounds. Why am I here? Why am I doing this? Don't you have any idea?
If it weren't for your woman and that damn armored ghost, who somehow got on Straw Hat's ship, would I have been defeated by a few thieves in Alabasta?
If I hadn't lost in Alabasta, would I have been imprisoned in Impel Down?
If you weren't such a hateful thief, would I have risked my life and fortune on Blackbeard just to get revenge on you?
Well now, the bet is lost!
What's even more hateful is that Lynch, a thief... doesn't seem to know the whole story! This guy is still asking Nicole Robin next to him: "It's evil. He should have escaped from Impel Down a year ago."
, but why are you here?"
What the hell-!
The sand crocodile looked indifferent, but inside he almost wanted to vomit blood.
"Forget it, it's not important." Lin Qi waved his hand nonchalantly, walked towards the Sand Crocodile, and squatted down with a smile, "Xiaoyu, something suddenly occurred to me... I want to prove my innocence!"
What the hell? The sand crocodile was at a loss for a while. But Lynch had already reached out and put on the arm armor of "B.I.B", punched him in the chest, and took out a triangular chip covered with quicksand swirl patterns...
