I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 596 Qingjiao: Why is Rayleigh spreading rumors? !
[Chapter serial series・Heart Pirates 5・"The birdcage disappeared..."]
[While the two mutes were staring at each other, they suddenly felt the island under their feet shaking slightly. Looking back at the birdcage, they saw a rock giant that looked huge and majestic even from so far away. It was collapsing. Broken... When they used the ROOM ability of the Surgery Fruit and the mute ability of the Silence Fruit to unknowingly get out of the warship on a small backup boat, they looked up and were shocked to see that The huge wire cage covering a corner of the island is rapidly disintegrating...]
---------------------------------
"Thief?"
The leader of the Babao Navy team was a middle-aged man who was at least four meters tall and had a messy beard. Hearing this, he looked at the short thief who was being chased by the store. This guy panicked and went to Here they come running.
"Aww!"
The short thief obviously also discovered his mistake, hesitating and yelling, and ran back crawling.
"You stole something and still want to run away?"
Lao Cai... No, it's still Ah Cai at this time. Ah Cai, the direct grandson of Qingjiao, the 12th generation leader of the Babao Navy, clenched his knife in his hand and was about to chase after the thief, but was stopped by a middle-aged man: "Come back, Ah Cai."
A Cai stopped, turned around and said in confusion: "What's the matter, Dad? I'm going to catch a thief!"
"It's just stealing, no need to be so exaggerated."
The four-meter-tall middle-aged man with a wild beard is named Tianjiu. He is the son of Mr. Qingjiao and the father of Ah Cai. He said nonchalantly, "Who would go to the store to eat if they weren't so hungry that they couldn't survive?" What about?”
Ah Cai made a cut, banged the knife at his feet, and said dissatisfied: "Dad, it's because you are always like this that I don't want to hand over the position of pillar to you."
Tianliu waved his hand indifferently, "Who cares about the position of the pillar of the army..."
The shopkeeper who was bumped into by the thief who turned back and ran away didn't care about the quarrel between the father and his son. He sat on the roadside and cried out: "Then we can't let him go! It was my shop that was stolen!"
"Oh, right..." Tianliu pulled out a few wrinkled and greasy Bailey's bills from his body, threw them to the store, and said with a smile, "Isn't that okay?"
The shopkeeper picked up the banknotes with slight disgust, shook his head and left.
"Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..."
The voice of the thief came from the other side again. Tianliu, Acai and other Eight Treasure Marines looked over and were all more or less surprised.
You read that right? Aren’t those the JOJO Pirates who were active in the headlines a while ago, and are they Giovanna Giorno and Kujo Xuren, one of the current King’s Shichibukai?
Giorno was holding the short thief in his hands.
"Ah ah ah ah..." The thief tightly held the food wrapped in oil paper he had stolen in his arms, but he could not explain clearly what he was saying.
Lin Qi pinched the little old man's cheek and immediately discovered that the tongue in his mouth was broken.
"Ahhhh..."
The little mute old man looked at him, his face full of fear, and he started to tremble.
Lin Qi could notice at a casual glance that the old man was covered in scars under his coarse rags. It seemed that he was not very skilled in the business of being a thief and had been caught and beaten frequently.
"Are you okay with thieves?"
Lin Qi carried the mute little old man and looked around. The townspeople avoided his sight, as if they did not want to cause trouble, and quickly dispersed.
Lin Qi didn't care and put the little old man on the ground casually.
Poof, the mute little old man fell to the ground, still looking at Lin Qi in fear. The oil paper bag in his arms fell to the ground, and he slightly opened the knot to reveal a few oil cakes inside.
It wasn't until the Eight Treasures Marines came over that the mute little old man picked up the oil paper bag and fled quickly.
"..." Robin withdrew his gaze and looked at the Babao Sailors walking across the street.
Tianli crossed his arms, lowered his head and said to Giorno: "Why did the Shichibukai appear here?"
Lin Qi said: "You know this, right?"
"Huh?" A Cai stood next to Tianli with his knife raised, and a question mark couldn't help but appear on his head.
Lin Qi looked at him and asked curiously: "Is this young hero your Geng?"
Perhaps because he happened to be culturally compatible, Ah Cai actually understood it and said in a deep voice: "Fifteen years old."
Is this person fifteen years old? I believe it even if I’m fifty! Lin Qi looked at A Cai's prematurely aged face and sighed: "I'm a little anxious..."
A Cai said unhappily: "What are you doing here? Even if you are Shichibukai..."
Lin Qi raised his head and looked directly at Tianliu, and said with a smile: "I heard that the leader of the Babao Navy, Qingjiao, has unparalleled boxing skills, so I came to learn from him!"
Who did you hear this from? You heard it wrong!
Ah Cai and the others secretly murmured that the old man’s unique one in the world was obviously the “pointed cone”!
It’s a pity that since that strange pointed cone head was punched bald by the naval hero Garp, the “green pepper of the cone” has since become the “green pepper of the cone”. The old man has been depressed and has been depressed to this day. .
Giorno actually came to challenge the old man who had lost his authority. Isn’t this just to cause trouble? !
A Cai was about to object, but Tianliu said indifferently: "That's right, then come with us, and I will take you to find the old man."
"Dad!" A Cai was dissatisfied.
Tianli scratched his unruly beard and said, "It's okay, right? Giorno and Xu Lun have nothing to do with that naval hero Garp. The old man won't go berserk!"
Navy hero Garp? Robin felt strange.
Ah, this... Lin Qi couldn't help but look at Robin. Is this Princess of Nine Snakes and the biological grandfather of Luffy, the son of the previous empress of Nine Snakes, completely unrelated?
The two followed the Babao Navy towards their stronghold.
It was a cottage, located in a valley outside the town. There were antique castle buildings all over the mountains and plains, many of which were built after being dug into the mountain walls.
Sure enough, the architectural style is very similar to that of Nine Snakes... Robin only took one glance and felt as if he had returned to Nine Snakes.
………………
When Tianli and Acai led Lin Qi and Robin to find Qingjiao, "Qingjiao" was sitting in the room, mourning and hurting himself in front of the mirror.
A few days ago, he went to his treasure house again. The gold, jewelry, and belongings under the ice...the treasures accumulated by their eight-treasure navy for generations, after losing the "sharp cone" that opened the door. , green peppers can no longer open the ice seal and touch them.
Obviously...the treasure is right in front of us...
"Ouch! Ouch!!!!"
A loud cry came from the house, which startled Robin who walked to the door, "Why is someone crying?"
Ah Cai almost blushed. Grandpa, really, did you look in the mirror and touch your head again? Why did you start crying at this time!
Tian Lik didn't care, he knocked on the door carelessly, "Old man! You have a guest!"
The loud crying in the room suddenly stopped. After a while, the door was opened, and a majestic figure over five meters tall appeared in front of everyone.
The bald old man with a thick white beard did not look like he was crying at all. He lowered his head and saw Lin Qi and Robin, and asked in surprise: "Why is the Shichibukai here?"
"I'll leave now when someone delivers it." Tianliu turned around and left.
Seeing this, Qingjiao immediately lowered his head and asked A Cai, "What did your dad do today?"
A Cai then told the story about his father paying the bill for a thief today. Qingjiao became furious when he heard this, "Thief, another thief! Bastard, you are going to **** me off to death! If it hadn't been for you back then -"
Realizing that there were outsiders present, Qingjiao stopped talking angrily and glared at Lynch and Robin, "You two came all the way to see me, what's the matter?"
What the **** did my dad do back then... A Cai looked in the direction where his dad had already disappeared, and turned around and said, "It seems Giorno is here to fight with you, grandpa."
"Fight?" Qingjiao was surprised.
Lin Qi didn't beat around the bush and said with a smile: "I heard from Lei Li that your eight punch boxing is very powerful, and you can even develop domineering domineering, so I came here to try it."
"Can you develop the domineering look of a king?" Qingjiao was surprised and said depressedly, "How could Lei Li spread rumors?!"
………………
But on the other side.
The Kingdom of Flowers is mountainous. In a hidden cave in a barren mountain, a short mute old man came here holding an oil paper bag.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah..."
He put down the oil paper bag, pointed at his mouth, and made a gesture of eating.
The cave was filled with the smell of blood, and in the darkness, one could roughly see the corpses of the Dragon Banner Army all over the ground.
A young man in coarse cloth came out, took the oil paper bag, turned around and said: "Second sister, let's have something to eat."
A hoarse female voice came from the depths of the cave: "You ran so fast, I thought you would never come back after escaping..."
"Ah!" The mute old man shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, and gestured hesitantly, but no one could understand what he said. As he walked into the depths of the cave, a masked woman took off her top and was tying it up. There was a faint trace of blood seeping from the bandage wrapped around his body. Seeing this, the mute old man nodded "Ah ah ah". The masked woman turned back and said coldly: "Don't forget to dispose of the body."
"Ah!" The mute little old man nodded repeatedly, fumbled for many bottles and cans from his arms, picked through them for a while, took out one of the cans, unplugged them, and placed them on the corpses of the Long Banner Army on the ground. Sprinkle some powder in succession.
Chichichichi......
More than a dozen corpses quickly emitted an astonishing amount of heat and emitted a large amount of smelly smoke. Then the corpses quickly deflated as if they were melting. In the end, only pieces of hot clothing and armor were left...
The masked female Xiangchun looked at the mute old man with eyes full of hatred.
