I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 356 I am interested in Shasha fruit
[Chapter serial series·Lovesickness 8·"The empress staring into the distance outside the window"]
[Sanda Sonia and Marigrud took Bonnie all the way into the dormitory, and saw Hancock standing alone by the large bright window. She only wore a light nightgown, and she was standing in the bright light. Against the background of the sunlight, the shadow-like slim body was dimly visible... Hancock turned around, except that his face was slightly pale, his black hair was wet with a layer of hot sweat on his temples, and his breath was no different from usual. ]

"Jinbei?"
When Lin Qi turned around, he still had snacks bought on the roadside in his mouth.
The person who suddenly stopped him and Robin on the side of the road was the future Kai Xia Jinbei whom he and Robin had met by chance when they had just left the windless zone.
"It's you! We meet again!"
Lin Qi laughed loudly, walked over, and opened his arms.
Jinbei was slightly reserved, as if he was not used to Lin Qi's enthusiasm. He just smiled and stretched out his hand to clap Lin Qi's hand.
Robin and "B.I.B" followed behind, and both noticed that the passers-by who passed by Jinbei had a certain distance invisibly, and as they passed by, they cast strange looks at Lynch, who greeted Jinbei with a smile.
However, Robin didn't know whether this strange look was because of Jinbei's identity as a fishman or because of Giorno himself.
"I didn't enjoy the fight last time, so you left in a hurry," Lynch smiled at Jinbei, "We met again this time. We are so destined, why don't we have a good fight?"
Jinbei smiled and said: "Want to fight on land or in the sea?"
"Oh, murlocs are amazing. Are you afraid of hitting me in the sea?" Lin Qi said nonchalantly, "Whatever you choose! Let me convince you, okay?"
Jinbei chuckled and said, "Are you so sure you can win?"
"Oh, I'm really not convinced," Lynch snorted, "How about a fight now? Whoever loses gets a treat!"
Robin reminded from the side: "It's better to sign up first..."
"Oh, right!" Lin Qi remembered that he had to sign up for the competition.
Jinbei's expression changed slightly, "Do you want to participate in this competition for the best swordsman in the world?"
"Yes, why else would I be here?" Lynch said, suddenly seeing something strange about Jinbei, "Have you just fought with someone?"
It’s really no wonder that Lin Qi’s eyesight is bad. It’s true that Fatty Lan’s skin color is too Avatar-like. Even if there are traces of battle, it’s hard to see at a glance.
Jinbei wiped the scratch on his neck or chest. He didn’t know whether it was a scratch on his neck or chest? He said solemnly: "Yeah... I beat up some annoying humans."
"Human?"
Lynch and Robin were both moved. They used such words? Then the reason for the conflict was obvious.
Is it nothing more than human beings discriminating against murlocs? It offended Jinbei, who is still very grumpy now, and caused him to fight...
Robin said: "It seems that the big noise coming from the arena was caused by you?"
The confrontation between Lynch, Mihawk and Armand was interrupted by a loud noise in the distance.
"Yes?" Jinbei didn't deny it? "I just got rid of those sailors..."
The three of them walked and chatted, not paying attention to the strange looks from some people on the road around them.
"You don't have a sword either. What kind of swordsman competition are you participating in?" Lynch asked.
Jinbei asked, "Don't you also use a sword?"
Lin Qi said dissatisfied: "I have a blunt sword!"
He waved, and under the pull of the Magnetic Fruit, an iron rod flew out from the small green inner castle in Robin's shoulder bag, spinning and being caught by him.
Jinbei was first shocked by his ability to capture objects from the air. When he took a closer look, he was speechless for a moment. Is this called a blunt sword? This is clearly a stick!
During the conversation, Lin Qi learned that Jinbei really wanted to participate in the swordsman competition when he was ridiculed by some bastards, ridiculing him for being just a fish. He also wanted to participate in the human competition, and said "Although it is not possible" Maybe? But what if the best swordsman in the world turns into a fish, wouldn't it be ridiculous?" and so on... This made Jinbe angry? A big fight at the registration desk? A 30 million watt punch? Formed on the spot Explosion effect.
Lin Qi could counter this move calmly, but ordinary people could not bear it. After Jinbe made a scene at the registration office, he quickly attracted a group of marines to pursue him.
Jinbei's skills were naturally beyond the reach of a group of ordinary sailors. After leaving the arena area, he quickly avoided the sailors and blended into the crowd.
Not long after, I happened to bump into Robin and Lynch who were walking out of the mall after buying clothes.
"How about it, do you dare to go back again?" Lynch waved the iron rod in his hand, "I'm about to sign up, can you help lead the way?"
Jinbei shook his head and said solemnly: "When I left there, the registration was almost closed... If you go now, you probably won't have time to register."
Lin Qi patted Jinbei's broad shoulder and smiled: "It's okay, I'll definitely make it in time."
………………
With Jinping leading the way, the three of them quickly arrived at the registration location in the arena area.
In the distance, I saw some broken houses and cracked roads. There are some workers making urgent repairs.
"The navy people don't seem to have any intention of catching you. No one is ambushing you here."
Lynch stood on the "relics" where Jinbei had caused damage and looked around, but found no trace of a marine.
Because Jinbei left and returned, some people at the registration office showed a little fear on their faces, and they all exclaimed: "Why is he back again?"
"Damn it! Let the navy drive this fish man away!"
There was anger in Jinbei's eyes. He glanced coldly at the annoying humans around him. He was very surprised by Lynch's question. He shook his head and said, "Of course... the Navy has a strong interest in this area, and even this entire area." Island, during the period when the Swordsman Competition is held, the various pirates on the island will not be taken too seriously."
Besides, aren’t you a pirate yourself? And he's a pirate with a bounty of 200 million beli.
Since Giorno thought in his heart that the navy would ambush me, and he asked me to bring him here so boldly, what on earth was this guy thinking? !
"Oh? Why is this?" Lynch asked as he walked.
"You really don't know?"
Jinbei noticed that the humans around him, in addition to pointing at him, also looked sideways at Giorno who was walking in front.
Jinbei vaguely heard some words such as "West Bank", "Eagle Eye", "Mrs. Ghost (Harmony)", "Giorno", "Unbelievable", and vaguely pieced together what these people were talking about. But...
When Giorno came here, he had a conflict with the eagle-eyed guy and the daughter of the Sea Emperor?
To be able to compete head-on with those two people... How unfathomable is Giorno's strength? !
"What do you know or don't you know?" Lynch was confused.
Robin reminded: "This swordsman competition is in the name of a pirate who is king of the Shichibukai..."
"Krokdal." Jinbe added.
He looked at Lin Qi's back and thought to himself: "With such strength, no wonder even the mighty Shichibukai doesn't look down on him... Even though he is crazy, he also has the confidence to be crazy!"
"Oh, it's him." Lin Qi suddenly realized that he simply hadn't asked about it!
No wonder the navy ignored this swordsman competition, which was obviously attended by many pirates. It turned out to be guarded by the legitimate pirate Shichibukai.
In other words, the guys who are instigating this competition are quite smart and know how to put up a banner of Shichibukai to show off their appearance.
That guy Lao Sha borrowed a name to go out, so his pockets are probably full.
Lynch thought, could this be the source of funding for the Baroque Society?
As for Robin's knowledge, it is obvious that she has been secretly vigilant since she came to the island, or it may be the result of eavesdropping...
"Sand crocodile..."
Lin Qi thought about it, and he was still somewhat interested in tricks such as sand waterfall burial and sand binding coffin.
"Sorry, registration has closed."
The race registration desk staff warned Lynch carefully.
This is a powerful pirate who made a scene when he first came to the island and fought against the Hawkeye man and the ghost (Harmony) lady... and he was accompanied by the hateful fishman who had made a big fuss here before. , the staff was really afraid that Giorno would also make a big fuss... It's okay for this fishman, but if Giorno made a fuss, the level of trouble would be different! Just look around. After Giorno came in, even the noise dropped a bit.
"Is it due?"
Lynch smiled, raised his hand and turned the iron rod in front of the staff.
The iron rod rotated around and around, and the eyes of the staff slowly became distracted...
"Registration, Giovanna Giorno," behind the phantom-spinning iron rod, came Lynch's ethereal voice, "There is also Kujo Xu Lun."
"Huh?" Robin was caught off guard.
