I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 079 Take off your dirty feet

The door of the wooden house opened and three people walked out.

The villagers quickly gathered together again, putting on a menacing look. They glared and pointed at Lin Qi, who had changed into clean clothes, and seemed to be unable to resist rushing up and punching him twice.

"It's almost done! Don't go on endlessly." Lin Qi took a step forward, glanced around the crowd, and said angrily, "I just washed it once, and I don't want to wash it again!"

"How dare you..." The villagers were obviously angered.

"Enough!"

The old village chief angrily said, "What's going on? Have you forgotten how powerful his mother is?"

When the woman was mentioned, the villagers suddenly calmed down a bit.

"Do you know how many ferocious pirates this kid Lynch has hunted on the sea? Don't count them one by one! If this kid wants to get you, what do you do these two or three times? ?"

The villagers were a little skeptical, "Is he that powerful?" "How old is he?"

Not everyone reads newspapers.

No wonder he is so powerful... But those people who were thrown by Lynch suddenly realized in shame and anger. They thought of the fierce fighting power of the woman named Lily before she fell ill, and felt that Lynch was very skilled, which is reasonable. among.

The old village chief scolded: "Before Lily passed away, did you ever blame Lynch in the slightest? On the contrary, you are the one who caused the most trouble! You thought you were meddling in other people's family affairs..."

The villagers were dissatisfied and retorted: "This kid is such a bastard. He refuses to repent, and he can't even beat him or scold him?"

"He has already died once!" the old man shouted.

The villagers quieted down and looked at each other...

The old village chief sighed: "How old was he when he left home? It is not easy for an eight-year-old child to survive in this vast sea full of pirates, let alone find medicine to cure diseases. "Who among you dares to say that you can have the courage to run into such a cruel sea for the sake of your family?" His eyes swept across the group of villagers in front of him, and everyone looked away wherever he went.

"Lin Qi almost died at sea... he survived by luck, but also lost a lot of memory!" The old village chief sighed, "I think maybe it was the blessing of his dead mother that gave him another life. ...It also made him forget the heavy past that he didn't want him to carry!" The old man said in a hoarse voice in the silence, "This kid allowed you to beat and scold him all the way, which can be regarded as acknowledging his fault...You took it out. , let’s all disperse!”

In a complicated atmosphere of silence, guilt, or regret... everyone glanced at Lin Qi and left silently.

"Let's go."

Lin Qi didn't pay attention to these people, holding Lily's legacy letter in his hand, he walked directly to the back mountain to the east.

……

After passing a wooden signpost at the foot of the mountain, Lynch and the others continued to move forward.

The setting sun sank lower, making the outline of the mountains as red as blood.

……

In the distance, Lin Qi saw a small clearing surrounded by wild flowers.

Lily's grave.

The old village chief and Robin stopped a few steps behind, leaving Lynch to step forward alone.

Crack...

『B.I.B』 folded off two plain white wild flowers and placed them in Lin Qi’s outstretched hand.

Lin Qi came to the tomb and looked at the stone tablet in front of her, which had Lily's name written on it and a photo of her laughing cheerfully, vaguely showing her healthy appearance before contracting the disease.

"Hello."

Lin Qi placed two flowers in front of the monument.

He sat down directly on the spot and shook the letter in his hand at the picture of the woman on the tombstone, "So, I opened it and read it?"

A breeze blew at the foot of the mountain, shaking the petals.

"Just treat it like you agree, big sister." Lin Qi said in the breeze, casually opening the envelope, "Look, what was written for your precious son..."

The letter paper is spread out, and the first thing you see is a few dry tears of varying degrees of depth on the letter paper.

"..."

Lin Qi focused his eyes and looked at the first line of words.

"Mom is from the land of flowers."

Very good, this first sentence made me a little surprised... Lin Qi pinched the letter. When he heard that the woman was very powerful in fighting before she fell ill, he thought she was from Amazon Lily, which is Nine Snake Island. The country of daughters!

After all, the female warriors on Kuji Island are very fierce, and the country-protecting warriors who can board the Kuji Pirates' ship all possess armed domineering skills.

Women on Nine Snake Island are also named after flowers. For example, Sandasonia is taken from the palace lantern lily; Marigold is taken from the marigold; Margaret is taken from the daisy; there are also those who are directly named Platycodon; even Grandma Ze, whose real name is taken from the flame Lily... has "B.I.B" as a portable memory bank. Lynch can find it by casually browsing through forums and other posts he read in his previous life.

The emperor of the daughter country also suffered from the so-called terminal illness called "lovesickness".

It just so happens that it corresponds to Lily’s incurable disease...

Unexpectedly, the first sentence in this letter showed that Lily actually came from the flower country in the West Sea...that is, in the Dressrosa chapter, Garp punched his conical head in. , the old green pepper man who was punched by Luffy again and popped out of his head, and the hometown of Lao Cai who kicked his grandfather's conical head and was happily single with Baby-5...

The Kingdom of Flowers...is it a place based on China? Lin Qi thought so and continued to read the last note left by Lily.

"Actually, I didn't want to hide it from other people... It's just that they all came to ask! Although the ancient custom of naming flowers is not very popular in the Kingdom of Flowers, I am still very unhappy... So, huh, I won’t tell them.”

Lin Qi was a little surprised when he read it. He did not expect that the letter written by the eldest sister named Lily to her son was written in this style.

Thinking of the scene of her dragging her sick body to write a letter...

In the first few paragraphs, the handwriting is steady and still talking about the trivial matters of life. But slowly, probably due to the deterioration of her condition, Lily no longer had the energy to write those words that she couldn't finish...

"Mom, let me tell you a story about the Kingdom of Flowers~"

"Once upon a time, it was a very old time anyway, there was a princess named Lily in the Kingdom of Flowers - yes, she has the same name as your mother! Pretty good, right? Princess Lily is the treasure of the Kingdom of Flowers, but she In order to retrieve the national treasure of the Flower Country, we bravely went to the endless sea. Well, the story is over! ”

"My mother has admired this princess with the same name as her since she was a child, so she stupidly sneaked out to sea... What a headache. I didn't expect you, Lin Qi, to run out too. Mom should have stayed here obediently. From the land of flowers!"

"But if you don't come out, there won't be you Lin Qi. So this is pretty good. Hmm..."

Lin Qi's eyes passed by the mottled tears that slightly blurred the writing. The further back, the more vain and feeble Lily's handwriting becomes...

"Although Mom didn't find the national treasure of the Flower Country, with you! It's a worthwhile trip!..."

Lily's handwriting is becoming more and more messy, and in some places the preface and the follower are inconsistent, and she speaks haphazardly, as if she knows there is not much time and her thoughts are not clear, and she is in a hurry to write down what she wants to say. .

"What your mother taught you is the secret eight punches of the Kingdom of Flowers... This is a very powerful boxing technique. If you really practice it, Lin Qi, you will definitely become a great person. When the time comes, you must protect your mother. Oh..."

"Ah, there won't be that time... What a pity!"

"I'm so sorry, Lin Qi. If I had known earlier, I would have taken you to see the Kingdom of Flowers... I originally planned to wait until you grow up... I obviously have a lot of plans, but I haven't yet I’ve seen you grow up, but I haven’t seen you become a real man... Ah, it doesn’t matter if you’re not a man, just be happy, mom!

"If you can see this letter, you can go back and read it for your mother in the future, okay..."

「……」

The handwriting at the back became more and more messy and became a mess. The last stroke was slanted, and the letter ended abruptly here.

Lily's hand holding the pen suddenly loosened...Lin Qi seemed to be able to imagine such a scene.

"Lin Qi, is he okay..." Robin looked at Lynch sitting in front of the tombstone and reading a letter not far away.

"Alas!" The old village chief sighed softly, looking up at the sunset. "Huh?" He seemed to see a dark shadow passing by.

"What a pity!"

Lin Qi put down the letter, sat in front of the tomb, looked at the smiling woman in the photo on the monument, and laughed and said, "I am quite interested in the Kingdom of Flowers. I will definitely go and see it if I have the opportunity in the future!"

"Hehehe, is that so..."

At this time, with these words floating above his head, a huge figure slowly fell in front of Lin Qi.

Lafayette!

A lightning flashed in Lin Qi's mind. This voice and this figure made the original owner's lingering memory fragments, mixed with fear and shadow, flood into his mind.

"But I think it would be more appropriate for you to be buried here."

The pale-faced "Devil Sheriff" Lafayette raised the corners of his blood-red lips, stretched his arms into a pair of pure white wings, and squatted on the top of the stone monument.

Lin Qi said: "Take off your dirty feet."
