I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 241 Meeting my sister at the corner

〖Abandoned Town——〗

A group of Nine Snake warriors walked on the dilapidated streets, with snake bows, swords and other weapons in hand, observing their surroundings with a little vigilance.

Judging from the density of housing and buildings, this was probably a very prosperous town originally, but more than ten years later, it has already been deserted. The rows of houses on both sides of the street are not only in disrepair, but also have obvious signs of looting and destruction. Most of the doors and windows are in a damaged state. There are basically no furniture and objects left in the houses, or the urban residents fled. Either it was taken away by the time, or it was plundered by waves of pirates who passed by later.

The women of Nine Snakes have no emotional emotions. They are also a new wave of pirates.

Just walking through one town after another...

The styles of the buildings and streets may be different, but the devastation and devastation are similar.

When searching around, I feel pity if I can't find anything valuable.

But of course it’s not like you can’t find anything.

For example, pirates in the usual sense don't search for things they take away, but they collected a lot. Some iron or steel objects, or metal furniture that is not easy to carry and has little use. The pirates look down on these scraps of copper and iron that are not worth a lot of money, but the women of Nine Snakes collect them carefully.

The animal and plant resources on Nine Snake Island are not bad, but it is not an island rich in minerals.

If metal arrowheads can be used as conventional weapons, who would use wooden arrows with just sharpened heads? Also attached to the domineering force, the metal arrow must be more destructive.

The scraps of copper and iron can be brought back to the island and forged into weapons.

With a snake wrapped around her arm, Marigrud was walking in an empty house. There were signs of being turned over everywhere. There was a faint musty smell in the air. When she looked up, The ceiling was soaked and rotten, and a corner of it had caved in. The floors were broken, the drawers were messy, the whole room was bare, and there was nothing to search for.

"Huh?" Marigrud raised her foot and found that she had stepped on something. She squatted down and touched it, and found an old photo among the dirt and dust under the crack in the floor.

He wiped away the stains on the photo with his fingers. It turned out to be a photo of two people, a boy and a girl who looked about the same age.

The boy has green hair and short hair, a strong build, a kind face, and is carrying a pile of firewood; the girl is plump and cute, winking at the camera playfully, holding an ice cream in her hand and licking it.

If Lynch were here, he would definitely recognize the girl in the photo as the giant woman behind the couple on the sailboat he met before coming to the island.

Turn over to the back, and there is a line of handwriting.

The handwriting was very blurry, and Marigrud barely recognized a few words, probably "prince", "unlike", "good" and the like...

"Mary, let's go!" other soldiers shouted from a distance.

"Oh, here it comes." Mary put the photo away.

Prince? She thought about the boy in the photo, was he the prince of the ice cream kingdom? According to what was recorded in that book, the king known as the "tyrant" was only seventeen years old when he destroyed the country fourteen years ago and left to become a pirate... In other words, the man in the photo Boy, is he the big bear in his youth?

The temperament of the young bear in the photo is very similar to the bear holding a Bible that he saw on Nine Snake Island and Xiaokong Island three years ago. They are both gentle and quiet.

Marigold was even more puzzled. Why would such a person become a "tyrant"?

〖Weedy outskirts——〗

"Woo!"

With a strange roar, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out from the roadside and pounced on Lynch and Robin.

Neither Lynch nor Robin moved.

The jet-black armor flashed out, held down the head of the huge black shadow that rushed over, and directly pressed it to the ground with a "bang".

The huge black shadow struggled, but under B.I.B's palm, no matter how much he flopped on the ground, the position of his head did not move at all.

He blinked, confused.

I wanted to flutter my hands and feet to grab the guy holding my head, but suddenly my arms were pulled by something - something from my back, and they were pulled back to my back. His back made him unable to exert any strength at all! This is so strange. What is behind me? !

The huge black shadow pushed to the ground by B.I.B was even more confused. On his invisible back, there were four fancy arms, twisting his hands and holding them down.

It turns out that this guy who suddenly jumped out from the roadside was actually an old man with gray beard and hair. The only difference is that this old man has a physique of three to four meters - this is why he is slightly taller. Because of his hunched back and stooped figure, if he straightened his back, he would probably be four or five meters tall.

"Say, old man, you, a guy with thin arms and thin legs, suddenly jumped out to scare people. What do you want to do?"

Lin Qi squatted in front of the old man who was taller than him.

Unexpectedly, the old man became excited, "Old man? I am only twenty-eight years old, why am I the old man?"

"Huh?"

Lin Qi and Robin were both secretly surprised.

B.I.B and Robin both let go of their hands. The ouch in front of him lay on the ground for a while, then slowly got up under Lynch's gaze.

Lynch retreated tactically.

As far as this person’s appearance is concerned, he has gray hair, a full beard, thin limbs, and a stooped figure... Is this twenty-eight?

"It's so pitiful that you have already aged like this at the age of twenty-eight..." Robin muttered to himself.

"Hey! I can hear you." The old man looked down at Robin.

Robin said: "I wonder how many more years I can live? Maybe I will die at any time..."

The old man said: "I can hear what I said...who could die at any time! Isn't that too vicious? Damn it, are you really pirates?"

The old man became excited again, but was quickly suppressed by B.I.B.

Bah bang bang! The old man lay on the ground and kept slapping his hands on the ground to beg for mercy.

B.I.B then let him go.

"Cough cough cough!" The four- to five-meter-tall old man kept coughing and gasping for breath on the side of the road. "It's so bad! He is so violent to the elderly..."

Lynch: "Aren't you twenty-eight?"

"Don't look at me like this, remember back then..."

The old man took a breath, touched his messy white beard and hair like withered grass, and looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, as if reminiscing about the past.

It only took half a day, but there was still no follow-up.

Robin: "Premature aging is often accompanied by memory loss..."

"You don't think you are talking to yourself, do you?" The old man turned his head and said silently, "I can hear you after you said it!"

Robin followed the good example and said: "Alzheimer's disease..."

"I am twenty-eight years old!" the old man shouted, "Stop talking about it, why are you so calm and talking about Alzheimer's disease? You are too scary, right?"

Lin Qi smiled and said: "You are very energetic! A twenty-eight-year-old man is not afraid of us two pirates now?"

"You don't seem to be pirates, nor do you seem to be bad people..." The old man sat down on the roadside, "This country has not been destroyed yet! I have always believed this, those who dare to come to this island The pirates always disappear silently after a while... There is still someone guarding this island in the dark... Maybe it's him..."

"Wait a minute." Lynch interrupted his sudden NPC-like speech, "Although this identity is not my original intention, but - the two of us, it is not wrong to say that we are pirates now."

"Huh?" The twenty-eight-year-old man was stunned.

〖Royal Palace——〗

Hancock walked in the palace where traces of time could already be seen, mentally comparing the difference between this palace on the sea and the palace on Nine Snake Island.

Suddenly, she turned around and noticed that her sister Sundar Sonia had disappeared without knowing when.

Hancock didn't care either.

Although I didn’t spread the Haki carefully, I could still vaguely notice that Sang Da’s aura was not far away, and I didn’t encounter any danger...

"Ah!"

In the distance, Sundar Sonia's screams came from the distance.

Hancock frowned slightly, and disappeared in a flash, following the screams at high speed.

She showed a look of astonishment when she turned the corner of the palace corridor.

At the corner, she actually saw Sanda in her childhood...
