I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 733 The Wave of the Times

[Chapter Series・Deck from the World 1・"News Bird Flying to the Four Seas"]

[In the early morning, the sea surface is undulating and the waves are sparkling. Groups of newsbirds hang small drink bottles around their necks and flap their wings energetically to fly to various parts of the sea. The bags on their bodies were stuffed with the latest newspapers. The wind blew up the paper exuding the scent of ink, revealing bold and large text such as "The Battle on the Top..." and "The Resurrection of Lynch Returns..." . ]--

The green phone bug was in Robin's palm, opening the castle portal with both eyes, and several figures jumped out of it. After leaving the range of its body's abilities, they returned to their original size one after another.

The members of the red-haired pirates couldn't help but get out of the way, making a clear space.

Sundar, Hancock and Robin stood side by side. Lynch and Shanks supported the bodies of Whitebeard and Jinbei who had been sent from the Telephone Bug Castle, and slowly placed them on the deck.

Marco's face was covered with tight, dried tears, and he could no longer cry. He sat beside him blankly, looking straight at Whitebeard's smiling "sleeping" face.

He still doesn't have the feeling that his father is gone forever. It seems that this person who is regarded as a father and loved by everyone will still sit up with a smile in the next second...

Shanks asked: "What to do with their remains? Do you need my help to arrange them?"

Whitebeard, even if he dies, his body will still touch the nerves of many people. Too many people hope that he will be reduced to ashes, and it does not rule out that there are many people who want to become famous by destroying or insulting Whitebeard's body.

As for Jinbei, he is a Shichibukai, but he is also a fishman. It is probably more in line with his own wishes to send his body back to Fishman Island to sleep with the sea.

Marco shook his head and refused. Of course, they have to arrange their father's body by themselves and make the last journey for him.

Thinking of this, Marco's dry, red and swollen eyes couldn't help but burst into tears again. He took a deep breath and looked into the distance. The ship had been sailing since it left the ice of Marineland. He couldn't help but ask Said: "Where are Ace and the others?"

"They should all be in the Shampoo Islands." Lynch said, turned around and asked, "Are there any fruits? Just bring one."

"Fruit?" **** was confused, took out an apple from his pocket and threw it over.

Lynch caught it and pressed something into it. So under the shocked gazes of Shanks, **** Bu, and others, the apple changed.

Marco, who was immersed in mourning, seemed to be a little slow to react. When he heard the exclamations from the red-haired members around him, he looked towards Lynch. When he saw it, his eyes immediately widened and he opened his mouth, unable to speak. Words come.

What Lin Qi was holding was actually the Zhenzhen Fruit.

This thing, which is known as the most powerful Devil Fruit in the world, was made by Lynch with the Shock Fruit chip in his hand, and then he threw it to Marco.

Marco quickly caught it and looked at Lynch blankly.

Shanks and the others were also a little surprised and looked at him speechlessly.

Lin Qi was completely confused when he was looked at like this, and wondered: "Why are you looking at me like this???"

"This...that...you..."

A tall member of the red-haired pirate group turned his head back and forth between Lynch and the freshly baked devil fruit in Marco's hand.

"Is this the Zhenzhen Fruit?" Fatty Lucky Lu said bluntly and dumbfounded, "Now that you have such a precious thing, as a pirate, would you give it to others so casually?"

Lynch was even more confused, "Didn't I already say that I have no interest in Devil Fruits?"

"Who knew you were serious!" Everyone was speechless, "And this is the Zhenzhen Fruit after all!"

"That's just a Devil Fruit." Lynch waved his hand and looked meaningfully at the windy sky behind the ship, "Why did Whitebeard die in the end? Don't you know? ?"

"I don't know!" The red-haired pirates crossed their arms in unison and shook their heads.

"Lynch, they haven't arrived yet." Robin reminded from the side.

"Oh, that's right." Lynch nodded.

Beckman frowned and asked: "So, how did Whitebeard die? Wasn't he defeated by the admirals?"

Hearing this, Marco trembled slightly while grabbing the shock fruit.

Remembering that scene, even Marco could not help but be filled with psychological shadow.

When Shanks saw this, his eyes couldn't help but turn pale.

He remembered the long thunder and lightning dragons that they saw from a distance before they finally arrived at Malinfando, the scene of natural disasters and divine punishment...

"Lynch, is Whitebeard's death related to Mary Joa?" The red-haired man looked at Lynch.

Marco also raised his head and looked at Lynch.

Dad’s final death was so bizarre and weird.

And the words that Dad tried his best to tell the world before he died, about immortal people...are they related to the reason why Dad once warned himself not to fly directly above Mariejoia?

Lin Qi looked at everyone and said: "You are not the only ones who are confused about Whitebeard's death. Let's go to Shampoo to meet the others first, and let's talk about it together then."

"Okay." Shanks raised his head and said, "Go at full speed!"

"Captain, we are already at full speed. We should be able to reach the Shampoo Islands by nightfall!" The red-haired member hanging on the sail turned around and shouted.

"It should be a while, let's rest on the ship first." Shanks greeted the people who were boarding the ship.

Marco refused to leave Whitebeard's body and stayed on the bow of the deck, sitting next to it and watching over it.

He is the ship's doctor himself and is very aware of his physical condition. He is just a little tired and nothing serious. Lucky Lu and the others brought food and water. He nodded and ate silently to replenish his strength.

……

Robin, Lynch and Shanks sat together, a rare gathering of old friends, eating and drinking while chatting.

Of course, with so many things happening today, everyone is not in the mood to hold a big party or anything like that...

Although they had not seen each other for more than ten years, and Lynch seemed to have experienced a lot, since Lynch and the others were intact and safe, Shanks did not ask questions about other people's affairs. .

"We haven't seen each other for so many years, but you are already as good as me." Shanks smiled and raised his glass.

"How come you're not inferior to me?" Lynch rolled his eyes, and Robin, who was sitting next to him, chuckled and filled a bowl for him.

Lin Qi is not someone who likes to brag or complain to others. Since Shanks and the others didn't ask, he didn't mention anything. Besides, he really didn't feel anything, so he didn't care at all, so he drank one cup after another. Earth and Shanks drank.

"Haha, it's all the same!" Shanks exclaimed, "Think about the first time I met you in the West Sea twenty years ago..."

"Okay, thank you red-haired brother for your righteousness and rescue." Lynch raised the bowl, raised his head and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "Otherwise it would be the story of 'Lynch the Marine'."

Lynch joins the Navy?

Sundar and Hancock imagined it for a moment, then went blank.

I can’t imagine what he looked like wearing a navy justice coat...

With Lynch's character, even if he is in the navy, he will definitely be the one who doesn't listen to the orders of his superiors. He will be punished every three days, and then continue to do whatever he wants... Robin's lips are smiling, but , if Shanks hadn't intercepted Lin Qi in Qing Pheasant's hands, maybe he wouldn't have reunited with Lin Qi later, let alone the series of experiences the two of them had after that.

"What are your plans next?" Shanks asked, putting down his empty glass.

"I don't have any plans, just follow the steps and continue to get stronger." Lin Qi said.

His words made all the red-haired pirates, including Shanks, look at each other.

"Step by step? Continue to become stronger?"

"You are already among the top few in the world, how can you be stronger?"

"It's still step by step...it seems like there is some tutorial, and if you follow it, you can continue to become stronger..."

In response to their doubts, Lin Qi just shook his shoulders, and a ball of miscellaneous gas slowly emerged from his body.

The sphere is so large that it almost occupies most of the deck of the red-haired pirate ship. The whole thing is like chaotic colorful lines, while a small area at the bottom is pure gray, slowly flowing, pointing towards Lynch's body.

"What is this?!"

Even Shanks was surprised, as was Beckman. **** Bu and Lackey Lu touched the thing curiously and said in surprise: "It's not an entity, it's energy!"

Such a big ball of rich energy?

Shanks looked at it carefully, looking at the colorful lines flowing on the huge sphere. Even the energy as big as a hair wandering on the surface of the sphere gave him a very good feeling... This boy Lynch, after all, Where did you get such amazing and huge energy? !

The most astonishing thing is the gray parts at the bottom of the sphere.

Marco was far away, but he could still recognize it. This was the thing that Lynch gave to his father without hesitation to support his body and maintain his life when his whole body was bleeding and he couldn't hold on anymore. And it wasn't The colorful variegated colors are the gray energy at the bottom that is very precious at first sight. Although his father was still... in the end, Marco kept Lynch's benevolence in mind.

Lin Qi shook his shoulders, took the energy **** back into his body, shook his neck, exhaled a long breath, and said: "Shanks, you are right! Indeed, with our strength, we have already It’s difficult to improve...but it’s difficult to improve vertical attack power, so let’s expand in other horizontal areas. Next, I need some time to digest the accumulation of the past ten years.”

This accumulation means not only to fully integrate the growth brought about by the unification of substitutes over the past ten years, but also to fully digest and absorb these energy **** harvested in prison for five years.

"You want to completely absorb these things and integrate them into your own power?" Even Shanks couldn't help but be stunned, "Can this be done too?"

"The miscellaneous energy is not enough. It can at best be used as a small medicine to temporarily replenish physical strength." Lynch shook his head and said, "Refining them one by one into the gray energy at the bottom just now can be transformed and absorbed into my own power. ”

"It's very difficult!" Shanks said, "After all, the proportion of gray is only so small now."

"Of course it is difficult, but the main thing is to work hard and take time." Lynch was actually talking about the situation in prison. After becoming one with the avatar, the life-returning cultivation that the avatar has been practicing for the past ten years has been filled in. Lin Qi is confident that the speed and efficiency of "refining" gray energy and absorbing it will be qualitatively improved. .

Shanks nodded silently and poured another glass of wine, "Continue to improve your strength, and then what?"

"You're not getting stronger just to get stronger, are you?"

The red hair smiled and said, "You have reached the peak, but you are still so unsatisfied... I don't think you are an ambitious person, but you seem a little anxious!

"Lynch has completely digested these powers and improved his strength. What next?"

"And then..."

Lin Qi looked at his rough palms and suddenly said, "More than twenty years ago, you who followed the Pirate King to sail to the end of the world received prophecies, right?

"The wave of the times will come twenty years from now, and so on..."

"Yeah." Shanks raised his head and finished the drink, then slammed down the empty glass, just in time to see Lynch staring straight at him.

Lin Qi said slowly: "'The wave of the times' is not a vague meaning, but a literal meaning. Isn't it?"

"...?!"

Beckman, **** Bu and others, as well as Hancock and Sundar, did not quite understand what Lynch meant.

On the other hand, Robin immediately thought of the empty island, the ancient murals on the moon, the few words about the great flood that destroyed the world in ancient times, the city of seven waters, and the gods of water...

After Lin Qi merged with the double, he naturally learned about these memories.

The "wave" of the times?

Robin couldn't help but his pupils narrowed, but Shanks shook his head and wiped the corners of his mouth, "I didn't go to see Raff Drew with the captain and the others back then. So to be honest, I don't know the truth about the prophecy either. Too clear."

"Then what did you tell me about the need for the navy to exist?" Lynch said angrily.

"But it's a coincidence that you think the same as me."

Shanks finished his words almost at the same time and said to himself, "If such a day comes, having a navy that can connect everyone is better than nothing, right?"

……

Will the world usher in another great flood?

The whole world will be flooded?

In the night, facing the salty sea breeze, Hancock walked to the bow of the ship. Even if it was true...it was none of her business!

With the weather technology of the old men of Weather Island, and the help of the black dragon power of Queen Ayu of the Kingdom of Flowers, even if there is a big flood, they feel that they cannot destroy Nine Snake Island.

Sanda doesn’t care. She is a flying snake and is afraid of floods.

"What is she doing so far away?"

Lin Qi leaned against the side of the ship and turned to look at the empress standing on the bow of the ship facing the wind, with her graceful and perfect figure.

"I don't know either." Sanda smiled.

"I haven't seen you for ten years, why does your sister's mood go from good to bad..."

"Don't ask me!" Sanda shook her head repeatedly.

Robin next to Lynch said at this time: "You can see the shampoo floor."

Lin Qi turned around, and the dim and hazy night could not block the sight of his golden eyes. The red-haired pirate ship was slowly sailing into the Shampoo Islands where bubbles were densely flying. On the almost black sea, a delicate figure swam over the water as fast as flying. With a crash, the sea surface broke Opening, the thick-lipped mermaid with short green hair carefully observed the figures beside the big ship, namely Lynch, Robin and the others.

"It's Cammy." Robin smiled.

"You are finally back!" The mermaid swam over and waved her arms with a smile, "Everyone is waiting for you, I will take you there..."
