I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 164 Ancient Text

[Chapter Interlude・Trivia・Tips]

[For stories in pre-chapter serials, the timeline may not be synchronized with the time point of the chapter, especially the time span may be inconsistent with the main text... I believe this point was reflected in the previous "Do you believe in gravity"... ...Well, I mainly want to compile a pre-chapter serialization of "Rabu's Life of Fantasy". The time span may be ten or twenty years... As for what kind of fantasy life it is, please contribute on the right side if you have a big imagination ( The only requirement is to match the style of painting serialized on the title page of the One Piece manga)→]

"Devil Fruit..."

Hancock muttered and quietly entered Snake Queen's palace from the side.

Robin was right at the entrance of her collarbone, using the power of the flower fruit to grow eyes and ears in many places along the way to detect the situation for Hancock and warn him in advance to avoid being discovered.

Although in fact it would not be a big deal even if Hancock is discovered...

However, Hancock was having fun with it. Using the power of his castle fruit and Xu Lun's strange abilities, he was like a small beautiful figure, quietly wandering around Snake Queen's palace.

As for Lynch...

In Hancock's Snake Cave Castle, he released his dark armored substitute and continued his training.

After all, he has little interest in finding books to read.

………………

In a side hall of the palace, the Empress Snake Princess was discussing some matters with the old woman Suzuran, several members of the Protectorate Warriors, and several members of the Nine Snakes Pirates.

On the ceiling in the corner, petals were flying, and an eye with dark green pupils and a white and tender ear grew out.

"The next voyage is not far away. When I am not in the country, the soldiers who protect the country must protect the citizens..."

Snake Princess said what she would tell the soldiers who protect the country every time before leading the Nine Snakes Pirates out to sea.

The soldiers protecting the country naturally nodded and accepted the order, "Yes, Lady Snake."

"Linglan, please make a list of the supplies needed in the country." She Ji continued to issue orders.

Old woman lily of the valley should be.

The pirate ships of Nine Snakes sailed from the Windless Zone, either directly into the first half of the Grand Route, or to the South China Sea on the other side.

Although, with their Nine Snakes flag, many pirate groups and merchant ships simply abandoned their ships and fled, allowing them to board and loot them.

But after all, it’s not just any supplies that can be collected in this way.

For example...

Many of my daughter’s household items cannot be found on many pirate ships.

In addition, She Ji has a newspaper habit. Every time she goes to sea, she collects every old newspaper from the past and reads it all at once on the ship.

With the screen back to left and right, She Ji slowly came to the window and stared at the calm sea in the distance.

The petals on the ceiling corners are falling off.

………………

Hancock was sneaking around the palace and found Snake Queen's study.

In the huge study room, the bookshelves on one wall are filled with densely packed books.

Hancock muttered: "Why didn't I think there were so many books here before... Hey, Xu Lun, what do you want to read? Should you take some books with you, or should you come out now and read them here?"

Since there was no one around, Hancock jumped to sit down at the desk and looked up at the books on the wall.

Having not heard Xu Lun's response for a long time, Hancock condensed his body in the inner castle and focused on his body.

Giorno, that boring guy, is still training alone there.

As for the strange black armored man, he has never been seen since leaving the castle, and Hancock didn't pay much attention to it.

She walked straight behind Xu Lun and suddenly tapped her on the shoulder, startling the latter.

"What are you doing?" Hancock asked.

Robin looked at her helplessly and explained: "When I passed by a side hall just now, I found that your Snake Princess was talking to others about their next voyage..."

"Sailing?" Hancock's eyes lit up, "Are you going to sail again? When?"

Robin said: "I didn't hear it, but it should be within the next few days...do you think so?"

Hancock didn't answer. He patted Robin on the shoulder and pointed to the "hole" next to her, which was the middle part of her collarbone. Through the "hole", she could see the bookshelf on the wall outside.

"You found what you wanted, what next?"

"Thank you." Robin nodded and shouted from a distance, "Giorno..."

"Huh?" Lynch, who was training with B.I.B, ​​heard Robin's voice, looked back, and quickly understood, "I got it. B.I.B, ​​go take a spin."

He took off the mask of the substitute in front of him and threw it towards the hole behind Robin and the others.

The visor quickly rubbed against the gap between the two women, and Hancock flew out from the portal between the collarbones of Hancock's body. He turned back to his original size when facing the wind, and was suspended in the dark avatar energy.

The visor flipped over, and his glowing white eyes happened to meet Hancock's bright eyes.

"I understand..."

Hancock's real body looked at the visor in front of her; her clone in the castle inside her body carefully used the Haki of Insight to observe the opposite side of Giorno, and saw the blurry black figure. The two Hancocks, one big and one small, walked in sync with each other inside and outside, showing expressions of enlightenment and muttering to themselves.

Lin Qi said: "You understand again."

Continue to compete with B.I.B. Anyway, now that I have started to learn about Haki, the headless B.I.B can be used as a sparring partner even without a mask.

Hancock pointed at them and shouted: "So, the strange shadow that appeared in the city that day was you, right? No wonder you are so powerful, you can run away in the pursuit of so many soldiers..."

Moreover, even her knowledge-based Haki and Armed-color Haki were unable to do anything to that black shadow at that time.

"But it's impossible. At that time...how could you dodge those arrows shot by Lady Snake?" Hancock bit his finger and frowned in confusion. "You are obviously no better than me..."

At that time, Hancock did not have the confidence to escape from the three arrows that Snake Queen shot from a very long distance from the palace tower.

But Lynch and the black shadow not only escaped, but they were also alive and well, and nothing happened at all.

Reminiscent of the extremely powerful and perverted giant monsters they had dealt with on Ruskaina Island... Hancock seriously doubted that Giorno had let his guard down during the battle training with him. ? !

"Hancock!"

Robin's voice interrupted Hancock's thoughts.

"You can pick up any book at will, as long as you turn every page in front of you, it doesn't matter how fast you read it...that's all." Robin just said this.

Hancock was confused and said: "That's it?"

Robin nodded, "That's it."

Hancock thought for a while, suppressed what happened just now, and then had a good talk with Giorno and Xu Lun.

In the outside world, Hancock's real body pulled a book from the bookshelf on the wall and tried to flip it through in front of her. After waiting for a while, she was about to flip through it again when she vaguely saw the color of her experience. The dark shadow floating on the book in her hand nodded, seeming to indicate to her to get the next book...

"..." Hancock didn't know what to say, so he put the book back and took out the next one.

Wow, two seconds for a book, two seconds for a book.

Crash...

Crash...

In the castle inside Hancock's body, Robin watched Lynch training; outside, Hancock's body was flipping through books boredly, and the mechanical movements were inevitably boring. She was almost semi-numbly repeating the book. , the cyclic action of turning books and placing books...

Crash...

Hancock pulled out another book and quickly turned it over in front of the dark mask. When he was about to put it back, a piece of paper fell out of the book and landed leisurely on the ground.

"Huh?" Hancock lowered his head, "What is this?"

She knelt down to pick it up, the jet-black mask flying on the side of her cheek, and she looked at the suspected "graffiti" on the page.

It is an ancient text.

B.I.B recognized it.
