I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 262 I am not interested in the magnetic fruit 2
"The garbage dump and the boy look quite like the scene when we first met."
Lin Qi smiled and looked back.
Robin also smiled slightly. In a blink of an eye, it was already six years ago. Six years ago, they met on South Cago Island in the West Sea, and then they went all the way here. Robin sometimes wonders, what would his life have been like if he hadn't met Lynch that day?
Maybe the "prophecy book" that Lynch said he read has the answer.
But she wasn't going to ask.
Of course, the bandits, bandits and other things along the way can't block Lin Qi's way. Lynch, Hancock and the others don't need to take action. Any one of the Nine Snakes warriors accompanying the team can carry out a dimensionality reduction attack on this level of rotten fish and shrimps - the girls don't even need to use weapons. She is domineering and can beat the bullies who block her way into a pile of scrap metal just by relying on her boxing and kicking skills that she has trained since she was a child.
In this way, everyone easily approached the main city on the island - the royal city where the royal palace is located.
The towering city wall is in sight.
There are shabby wooden houses similar to slums gathered outside the wall. From time to time, you can see someone carrying a basket full of scrap metal bargaining with merchants at the city gate.
Compared with the bandits, bandits, and pirates we met along the way, as well as the poor and homeless people in the slums of the royal city, it is obvious that... their fighting ability looks very poor, and they don’t have that kind of look in their eyes. Exuding a life-threatening and fierce temperament. The ones I met before were outlaws with arrogant teeth and claws, but these in front of me looked more like slaves with yellow faces and skinny muscles.
Even Hancock's eyes changed somewhat when he saw this scene.
You know, she was almost abducted back then, turned into a slave, and might even become the plaything of the Celestial Dragons.
Though Sandasonia, Marigrud and other female warriors had seen many such situations along the way, they still found them shocking. In their Nine Snakes, there is only a difference between strength and weakness, but there is no such gap between rich and poor...
"Boom!"
There was an explosion not far away. Lin Qi and others were a little surprised. They thought it was pirates attacking the city. They thought that the pirates here were playing too wild and they could just fight the autumn wind around the island. The royal family and the army will most likely be too lazy to pay attention to them, but if they attack the royal city directly, the royal family and nobles will have to use the navy to deal with the pirates.
People in the slums were not surprised. A rickety old woman said calmly: "It's not a pirate, it's an 'Iron Jue'..."
"'Iron Jue'?" Lin Qi asked curiously, retracting his glance behind him.
The rickety old woman explained: "It is to make an improvised bomb out of scrap metal to execute the prisoner..."
Similar to shooting and cannon shooting... Robin nodded. She is also controlling the other three flower clones scattered around the island in real time, so she can speak as little as possible.
"Because of the recent 'big competition', people have been 'iron-killed' every three days..." The old woman sighed and shook her head.
"The South China Sea is indeed a sea of machines. Even the execution of individuals is so creative..." Lin Qi also lamented that it was really cool that scrap metal could be made into improvised bombs for execution. "By the way, that big competition, is it the one that the newspaper hinted at to recruit your princess to marry, and attracted many pirates to flock to it?"
"This..." The rickety old woman was speechless.
She raised her head and looked at this handsome young man, as well as Hancock, Robin, Sundar Sonia, Marigrud and several girls with good looks and figures on his left and right...
"The way she looked at you just now, Giorno, was so funny~" After leaving, Sandasonia joked, "Does Giorno also want to participate in the competition for that princess?"
Mary Grudd wondered: "Don't we have Princess Xu Lun?"
Both Hancock and Robin glanced at Lynch, who said indifferently: "Even if I come, I don't have to participate; even if I participate, I may not win; even if I win, I don't have to fight with that person. Princess...what did the newspaper say her name was?"
"Princess Eric Olson." Robin reminded.
"Yes, even if I win, I don't have to have anything happen to that Princess Olsen." Lynch finished.
We were almost at the gate of the city when a figure staggered out from the slums on the roadside and fell with a thud in front of everyone.
He is a scrawny little old man.
A few young men with unkind expressions chased out behind him. They stopped immediately after seeing Lynch and his gang.
"Hey! Don't mind your own business!" The young people looked at Lynch and others with some hostility and cursed.
Hancock ignored the little old man and was about to kick him aside to get out of the way. Lynch leaned over and picked up the little old man, "Are you okay?"
"Cough, cough, I'm fine..." The skinny little old man's face was pale, without a trace of blood. It was obvious that he had been malnourished for a long time, "Thank you, thank you."
"If it's okay," Lynch smiled, "just take your paws away from my arms, okay?"
The little old man’s expression changed!
The old man's skinny palm slipped into Lynch's clothes at some point, as if he wanted to steal a wallet or valuables.
Seeing that the action was exposed, the little old man's skinny palm immediately reached for Lynch's neck, and turned directly into beast-like hooves on the way... However, let alone Lynch, Hancock, Robin, and the Boya family His two sisters and the other Nine Snakes warriors didn't react at all and were not worried about him at all.
Dang!
The animal's hoof stabbed Lin Qi's neck, but the collision made a dull sound, as if it had hit an iron plate.
"What?!" The little old man's already pale face was full of astonishment.
The young people who chased the little old man out were also shocked. They did not expect such a situation at all.
Lin Qi held the little old man's hoof, stood up straight, and casually lifted the old man in front of him to look at him.
"Damn it! Put me down!" The little old man soon transformed into a black-skinned wild boar, with two long fangs protruding from his mouth, glaring fiercely, making him look like a doll Lin Qi was lifted in the air, but after struggling for a while, he stopped moving out of breath, "Huh, huh... so tired..."
"A skinny little wild boar also ran out to rob the road?" Lin Qi said without looking back, "Is this old man usually like this, kid?"
Robin, Hancock and others looked back and saw behind everyone, a boy with short red hair holding a dirty mechanical doll in his hand and looking at them expressionlessly.
The red-haired boy said coldly: "Only outsiders like you would be fooled. Everyone knows who Old Neil is."
"Damn Kidd! Stop delaying our business!" The crowd pretending to chase the little old man was excited.
"Smelly brat... Huh, Huh..."
The little old man carrying the wild boar in Lynch’s hand cursed a few words and then kept breathing.
Lynch threw him aside and turned around to ask the future "supernova" Eustace Kidd, "Did you follow us all the way to remind us?"
"Huh! Stop being so sentimental," Kidd weighed the tattered doll in his hand and showed a sarcastic evil smile, "I just want to get a share of the pie..."
Then he was punched on the head by a female Nine Snake warrior at the end of the team.
"It hurts! Smelly woman, why did you hit me!"
Bang!
"Hit again?!"
