Chapter 51: Space Slash
As Lin Hai and Luffy arrived at the coast, they saw a group of Navy soldiers shooting at the Merry Go. Just as Lin Hai was about to make a move, a sudden strong wind blew.
Lin Hai looked speechlessly in Dragon's direction, thinking, 'What a redundant move!'
After the strong wind, the Navy's formation was completely disrupted, and the cannon platform was also blown away by the wind. Who would believe that if you told them!
"Space Field..."
Once Lin Hai was on board the Merry Go, Miss Nami immediately rushed over and hugged him. Lin Hai naturally accepted it with pleasure.
Sanji's entire body flared with sour flames, "Lin Hai, you bastard, let go of Miss Nami quickly!"
Zoro said speechlessly, "You bastards, pay attention! We're not out of danger yet!"
Only then did everyone realize that it was still raining heavily!
After an unknown amount of time, the Going Merry had sailed out of Loguetown's sea area, but the dark clouds in the sky hadn't dispersed, and the heavy rain was still falling!
At this moment, Lin Hai, Luffy, and Zoro were standing at the bow of the ship.
Looking at the turbulent sea surface, the waves seemed capable of swallowing the Merry Go!
Lin Hai sighed, "This heavy rain seems to have lasted for a long time, right?"
Zoro nodded, "It has been a long time."
Luffy asked, "Will we be swallowed by these waves?"
The three of them hadn't noticed that Miss Nami's head behind them was already fuming with anger.
"Thump..." X3
Miss Nami angrily said, "You three are very idle, aren't you? Do you know we're almost dead with busyness!"
Just then, Usopp cried out in fear, "Miss Nami, the ship is going to hit that big mountain! Think of a way quickly!"
Miss Nami instructed, "Sanji, quickly take the helm, turn left sixty degrees..."
Sanji replied, "I can't, Miss Nami, the current is too strong, I can't turn it at all."
At this moment, Lin Hai said, "It's my turn to make a move."
Zoro asked doubtfully, "How are you going to do it?"
Lin Hai replied, "Cut it."
Miss Nami grabbed Lin Hai's head and pointed at the big mountain, saying in disbelief, "Look carefully! How are you going to cut that!"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Let go of me quickly, or it will be too late!"
Immediately, Lin Hai assumed a stance, extended one hand, and held his index and middle fingers vertically in front of his chest, level with his chin. A small Space vortex appeared on Lin Hai's left side, and a sword slowly emerged from the Space vortex.
The "high wind" that emerged in this way became a double-edged sword, no longer its normal single-edged state.
Lin Hai grasped the sword hilt and roared, "Space Slash, One Sword Cleaves the Mountain..."
"Clang..."
Instantly, like a flash of Lightning, a white light flashed, and the sea area in front of the Merry Go was split into two by Lin Hai's sword.
A huge crack appeared before their eyes, accompanied by the sound of massive waves...
This time, Lin Hai was smarter. He wouldn't just cut from bottom to top like last time, which caused the cleaved part in the middle to become a Space zone, resulting in the sea water from both sides pouring in and forming a vortex.
This time, Lin Hai cut at a thirty-degree angle along the Merry Go to the right side of the big mountain. This way, he could use the giant waves on the right side to carry the ship out...
Because Lin Hai suddenly realized that if he split the mountain, the bottom of the ship would still hit a reef. Although they would avoid the danger of hitting the mountain, the bottom of the ship would be finished!
Everyone was stunned by Lin Hai's action. Lin Hai quickly reminded them, "Miss Nami, quickly take charge! Don't just stand there dumbfounded. You should know what to do now, right?"
Only then did Miss Nami react and quickly instructed, "Zoro, lower the sails first. Luffy, pay attention to the waves on the left side, report immediately if anything happens. Usopp, Sanji, turn right sixty degrees. Lin Hai, I'll leave the front to you..."
The Merry Go grazed past the side of the big mountain, almost hitting it!
After a lot of effort, finally, finally, they escaped the danger of hitting the mountain this time.
At this moment, the heavy rain also stopped, the sky cleared up, and everyone was lying on the deck, panting heavily.
The power of nature is truly astonishing!
After recovering for a while, Lin Hai smiled towards Miss Nami, "Not bad, Miss Nami, your navigation skills are truly the world's best. You are a genius among geniuses. Among navigators, even the navigator on the Pirate King's ship back then couldn't compare to you!"
Zoro said speechlessly, "Hey, hey, you're exaggerating too much, aren't you?"
Sanji's eyes turned into hearts, "Miss Nami, I love you to death."
Usopp sighed, "Miss Nami, you're amazing."
"Hahaha..." Luffy got up, patted Miss Nami's shoulder, and laughed, "Miss Nami, you, you..."
Miss Nami punched Luffy away, then said somewhat shyly, "Actually, I'm not as amazing as you say, but I accept your praise, hehehe..."
"Tch, shameless," Zoro couldn't help but mutter.
Miss Nami looked at Zoro dangerously and asked curiously, "Zoro, what did you say?"
Zoro quickly changed the subject, "Lin Hai, didn't you say last time that you would faint after using that move? Why didn't you this time?"
"Yeah!" Everyone looked at Lin Hai in confusion.
Lin Hai spread his hands and explained, "That's how geniuses are. I think for a genius, you shouldn't ask about anything he does, because it can't be explained. Tell me, how am I supposed to explain this?"
"This guy, as annoying as ever."
"I regret asking him."
"By the way, you still don't know that Lin Hai's bounty has become three hundred million, right?"
"Three hundred million!!"
Usopp came forward in surprise and asked, "What's going on? How did your bounty become so exaggerated, Lin Hai?"
Miss Nami exclaimed, "Three hundred million? What did this guy Lin Hai do to get such a high bounty!"
Lin Hai was helpless. To enhance his image, he had to continue lying and repeat the story he used to fool Smoker!
Usopp exclaimed, "Lin Hai, you're truly amazing!"
Miss Nami echoed, "So, Lin Hai, you're also an orphan?"
Lin Hai glanced at Miss Nami somewhat unnaturally. Forget it, he had to keep up the act, even if it made him want to cry.
So, Lin Hai pulled out a guitar from his system!
Luffy's eyes lit up, "Lin Hai, you're a musician!!"
Sanji spat out a puff of smoke, muttering, "Putting on airs, he definitely can't play!"
Zoro said amusedly, "Are you just jealous of him?"
Sanji said angrily and shyly, "Who's jealous of him? Do you believe I'll kick you to death, you bastard?"
Zoro retorted, "Come on if you dare! Do you believe I'll cut you first!"
Miss Nami slapped her forehead, saying speechlessly, "I said, can you two stop fighting all the time!"
"Yes, Miss Nami." Sanji quickly fawned, "I'll listen to you, Miss Nami."
At this moment, Lin Hai had already started playing, and everyone quieted down, looking at Lin Hai, wondering what kind of music he would play!
...............Chapter 52: Being Slapped Again
Lin Hai picked up the guitar and strummed a few times, instantly feeling awkward. He didn't know how to play, and he didn't have enough Pheromone Coins to buy the guitar-playing skill. Even so, Lin Hai didn't understand sheet music!!
So, Lin Hai could only pretend to strum a few random notes, then sang: "Autumn wind rises again, yesterday's dream. Flowers bloom and fall, looking back is empty. Thoughts of the Sea are heavy, when will they end? Many years later, but in a hurry!"
Luffy asked in confusion, "Lin Hai, what are you saying?"
Usopp shook his head in confusion, indicating he didn't understand.
Zoro added, "Lin Hai, you don't know how to play the guitar, do you?"
...
This is unbearable!
Is it that easy to show off? Lin Hai racked his brain, pieced together a few random words that fit the mood perfectly, only to be mocked by these guys!
Lin Hai angrily said, "What do you illiterates know!"
Sanji turned to look at Zoro and asked, "Is he getting angry out of embarrassment?"
Pfft...
Hahaha, Lin Hai, you're so interesting...
What a fool, hehehe...
So, Lin Hai became reclusive again. Forget it, he might as well squat in the corner and start drawing circles again...
After the Merry Go sailed for a while, Lin Hai suddenly remembered that he had received many rewards in Loguetown. He quickly brought up the system panel:
sao system
Host: Lin Hai
Constitution: Seventh Order (Top Tenth Order)
Observation Haki: Second Order
Armament Haki: Second Order
Conqueror's Haki: Second Order (Can freely control the target of deterrence)
Skill 1:
1. Establish Space Field
2. One-Sword Style
3. Space Slash (Advanced application of the Space Devil Fruit, depends on stamina.)
Skill 2:
Nine Swords of Dugu (Reference)
System Store (Open)
Pheromone Coins: 250
After browsing the system panel, Lin Hai was originally in a good mood, but when he saw the Pheromone Coins, he instantly felt depressed.
Lin Hai: "sao system, are you toxic?"
sao system: "If the host needs poison, it can be purchased in the System Store. Does the host need to open the System Store?"
???" Lin Hai said irritably, "No!!"
Soon, Nami gathered everyone. She spread a nautical chart she had taken from Buggy on the table and pointed to a spot on the map, saying, "Everyone, the entrance to the Grand Line is a mountain!"
Sanji said in confusion, "How is that possible!"
Usopp nodded and said, "If the entrance is a mountain, how do we get in? Do we just crash into it?"
Luffy laughed, "Just charge straight through."
Nami slapped her forehead, then replied, "That's what the map shows!"
Zoro asked, "Nami, this map was taken from Buggy. Could it be fake?"
Lin Hai glanced at everyone disdainfully and scoffed, "A bunch of illiterates, didn't you notice the contour lines on the map?"
Contour lines? What are those?"
Yeah? Sounds impressive..."
Oh, I know, it's the incredible contour lines."
Luffy was directly kicked away by Nami. Nami asked, "Lin Hai, do you know how to get across?"
Lin Hai raised his eyebrows at the others, then said, "This map actually displays three-dimensional space in a two-dimensional way. Look, this data is the evidence."
Good thing he was forced to study it by his geography teacher in high school!!
Seeing that everyone except Nami was confused, Lin Hai had to say to Nami, "Nami, look at this Red Line that spans across. There should be a special current flowing from the Sea up the mountain, carrying the ship up. Afterwards, the ship will flow down the current to the other side of the Red Line..."
Nami clapped her hands and exclaimed, "So that's it! What incredible nature, thank you, mua..."
Seeing this scene, Sanji immediately knelt on the deck, constantly hitting it, "Why wasn't it me, why wasn't it me!"
Luffy, with sparkling eyes, looked at Lin Hai, "Lin Hai, you know how to do this too, you guy, you guy..."
Bang." Luffy was directly knocked away by Lin Hai.
Lin Hai proudly raised his eyebrows at Zoro.
Tch." Zoro turned his face away and muttered, "What's so great about that!"
(Not writing the Millennium Dragon plot, it's long and boring!)
Finally, the Going Merry was almost at the Red Line!
The sky, which was clear just moments ago, suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and heavy rain poured down continuously.
Nami, who was about to tell everyone to cheer up and work, suddenly saw Lin Hai about to draw his sword. She couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Lin Hai, what are you doing? Are there enemies?"
Lin Hai turned his head and slowly said, "I'm very annoyed by all those dark clouds in the sky, I'm going to slash them!"
Zoro laughed with interest, "Can you even do that?"
Luffy's eyes lit up and said, "Really? You can even split dark clouds?"
Usopp exclaimed, "Don't talk nonsense, how is that possible..."
At this moment, Lin Hai had slowly drawn his sword.
Thud..." X3
Nami, unable to bear it any longer, directly knocked down Lin Hai, Luffy, and Zoro with one punch each.
Nami said angrily, "Ah, seriously, all of you are like this. Do you know what the situation is now? Do you see that lighthouse? Quickly furl the sails, we're about to enter the Grand Line!"
Rumble...
A white light flashed across the sky, and a bolt of lightning directly struck Lin Hai, who had just stood up. It served him right for pointing his sword at the sky!
Nami mechanically turned her head and weakly asked, "Lin Hai? Are you, are you okay?"
Lin Hai felt very strange. His Seventh Order constitution was struck by lightning and he was fine? If this were on Blue Star, he wouldn't dare to imagine!
Lin Hai quickly put away his sword, then pulled open his crotch. Thankfully, it was fine, thankfully, it was fine!
The people on the side instantly understood Lin Hai's intention, and their faces all darkened!
At this moment, Luffy took out a barrel and placed it in the center of the deck, then said, "Everyone, we're about to enter the Grand Line, let's say our dreams!"
After speaking, Luffy placed his heel on the barrel, "I'm going to be the Pirate King!"
Lin Hai: "I'm going to be the most Pheromone-filled Brother Wave!"
Brother Wave?
Based on Lin Hai's past actions, everyone understood!
Zoro: "World's Greatest Swordsman."
Sanji: "All Blue."
Nami: "I want to draw a map of the world!"
Usopp hesitated for a while before saying, "I want to become a brave warrior of the Sea!"
Grand Line, here we come!"
Under this stormy sky, no one could have imagined that the future world would become "colorful" because of these few inexperienced young people!
Especially that man, who was going to be Pheromone-filled to the heavens...
...............Chapter 53: Sailing into the Belly of a Whale
"Quickly lower the sails, we're going to follow the current into the entrance," Miss Nami ordered urgently.
Usopp looked ahead in terror and said, "That entrance gate is too small, isn't it? The ship will crash! You guys need to think of something!"
Sanji said angrily, "Lin Hai, Luffy, and Zoro, you three bastards! The ship is about to crash, and you're still drinking tea!"
Lin Hai glanced at Sanji disdainfully, "What's with all the shouting? What the heck!"
"Space Field..."
Lin Hai quickly used his ability to change the ship's position, avoiding the danger of crashing.
Just then, the gate flew past everyone's peripheral vision.
Sanji, having recovered, grabbed Lin Hai's collar angrily and shouted, "You bastard, you should have done that earlier! You scared me to death just now, do you know that!!"
Zoro praised, "Lin Hai, your ability is really too useful."
Lin Hai smiled, "That's right, things that geniuses possess are just that cool."
Luffy pouted, "What's so great about it? My Rubber can become big or small, and it can also stretch..."
Lin Hai said angrily, "You shut up, you stinky Rubber! Do I have to be like you, become a pile of Rubber, to be cool?"
Luffy retorted, "The Rubber Devil Fruit is the coolest!"
Lin Hai: "Cool my ass, trashy Rubber!"
Luffy: "What did you say!"
"Duang..." X2
Miss Nami was truly helpless, "I said, can you guys please stop messing around? The danger isn't over yet! Everyone, take this seriously..."
It came quickly and went quickly.
Luffy and Lin Hai soon stood shoulder to shoulder, admiring the waves quickly being left behind.
Because the ship was sailing upward, everyone felt a sense of being overweight, a feeling they had never experienced before.
"Wow, what a beautiful view!"
"Do you guys feel that your bodies are very different?"
"Cough, cough, I have motion sickness medicine here. Anyone want some? One million Belly per pill!"
"Stinky Lin Hai, do you think we're pigs!"
Just as everyone was experiencing the feeling of flying, the ship suddenly flew up using inertia. It turned out they had reached the peak of the ship path!
"Ah!! What's happening? The ship seems to be flying."
"Ah, what to do, what to do? We're going to die, the ship is destroyed and everyone is dead..."
"Luffy, Lin Hai, quickly think of something! If this continues..."
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Everyone, hold onto the railings! This is normal, damn it..."
"Ahhh..."
"Oh, what an incredible current, so interesting..."
"Interesting my ass! Hold onto the railings! Don't get thrown off!!"
Because the ship was falling from a high altitude, everyone hadn't reacted yet. From the previous state of being overweight, they experienced a state of weightlessness, just like a thrilling roller coaster in an amusement park!!
It was so exciting it made people shout Mom!
After the ship stabilized and flowed downwards, Lin Hai's Observation Haki clearly sensed that there was something large at the bottom of the ship path. That should be the legendary Laboon.
Whatever it is, if it dares to block the ship, I'll just cut it!
Seeing Lin Hai take a fighting stance at the front of the ship, Zoro couldn't help but ask, "Lin Hai, what are you doing? Is there an enemy?"
"Yes," Lin Hai explained, "There's a big whale down there. If I don't cut it, our ship will crash directly into it!"
Luffy stopped him, "Lin Hai, don't just cut recklessly! There's always a way."
Usopp chimed in, "Lin Hai, why have you become so fond of cutting things?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "You guys don't know how big that whale is..."
"Oh..." Suddenly, an extremely loud sound wave, the sound made by that whale, echoed. Was it preparing to hit the mountain now?
The few people on the Merry Go all covered their ears...
Perhaps that guy Luffy already had the ability to subtly hear the voice of all things, and from the whale's cries, he heard emotions like loneliness and solitude, so he absolutely refused to let Lin Hai cut it.
Lin Hai said helplessly, "Since you all object, then be prepared for what happens next! How are we going to stop the ship? Otherwise, we're going to crash!"
Zoro asked in confusion, "Can't you teleport the ship away?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Have you ever studied conservation of momentum? Ft = △mv. If I stop the ship instantly, the impulse the ship receives will almost cause it to fall apart!"
Luffy slapped his left hand with his right, "Oh, so that's the incredible conservation of momentum!"
Miss Nami punched Luffy directly, saying anxiously, "You guys, hurry up and think of something! We're going to crash!!"
Lin Hai said, "Everyone, don't be nervous. After entering the whale's stomach, if there's no way out, I'll just make a hole in its stomach!"
After speaking, Lin Hai put his arm around Miss Nami's waist and smiled lightly, "Don't worry, Miss Nami. Even if this whale wants to eat, it will eat them first. If the whale gets full, then..."
Miss Nami said in horror, "At a time like this, you're still in the mood to joke!"
Seeing Miss Nami being held by Lin Hai, Sanji actually forgot his fear and was engulfed in flames, shouting, "Lin Hai, let go of Miss Nami quickly!!"
Just then, the whale suddenly opened its large mouth, and then, the ship was swallowed by the whale!
Inside the whale's stomach
"Oh, so this is inside the whale's stomach? How interesting!"
"Hey, hey, what's with the blue sky and seagulls up there?"
"They must be painted!"
Miss Nami said anxiously, "I'm telling you guys, is this the time to be concerned about this? Quickly think of a way to get out!"
Lin Hai pointed to the small island on the side and said, "Someone must live there. Everyone calm down. The most important thing now is, barbecue!!"
It seemed that Lin Hai took out the fish he had brought from his Space and leisurely started barbecuing with his sword as a skewer.
As soon as Luffy saw food, he threw everything else to the back of his mind and mumbled, "Lin Hai's barbecue isn't as good as Sanji's. Sanji, barbecue, barbecue..."
Miss Nami slapped her forehead, "I'm telling you guys..."
Sanji comforted, "Miss Nami, since we don't know what to do for now, why don't we eat something first?"
Zoro sat down next to Lin Hai with interest and smiled, "Lin Hai, a bottle of beer."
Luffy echoed, "Lin Hai's beer is the best, it's ice cold and stimulating..."
Miss Nami also said, "Give me a bottle too."
Lin Hai teased, "What, not screaming for help anymore?"
Miss Nami directly twisted Lin Hai's ear, "You guy..."
Sanji knelt on the deck again, hitting the ship's plank, "Lin Hai, you guy, I'm so envious of you..."
The fire had just started, and after barbecuing for a while, the door of the house on the small island next to the ship opened...
...............Chapter 54: Want beer, pay for it
When the door of the small island house opened, an old man stepped out. His hair was very peculiar; the top of his head was bald, and the hair around the sides, except for the very front, fanned out like a peacock's tail.
As soon as they met, the old man glared fiercely at the Straw Hat Crew, not even looking at where he was going, yet he somehow found a chair to sit on.
After he sat down, he remained silent, just staring at the Straw Hat Crew.
Everyone was intimidated by the old man's presence and fell silent.
Usopp was the first to break under the pressure and instinctively said, "You, what are you looking at us for? Do you want to fight?"
The old man replied in a low voice, "I advise you not to, or people will die!"
Challenged, Zoro smiled wickedly, "Oh? Who exactly will die?"
The old man replied fiercely, "I will!"
Sanji's eyes widened, "So it's you!"
"Hahaha..." Luffy covered his stomach, laughing as he said, "You're so funny."
Zoro felt like he had been played and asked with a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Who are you, anyway?"
The old man replied, "When asking someone else, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"
"Oh, sorry, I..."
Just as Zoro was about to speak, the old man spoke first, "My name is Crocus, I am seventy-one years old, and I am a Doctor."
Lin Hai quickly pulled back the about-to-explode Zoro, handed him a bottle of beer, and looked at the Doctor with some curiosity.
If he remembered correctly, Crocus was previously the ship's Doctor on the Pirate King Gol D. Roger's ship. The original story didn't show his combat strength, but based on Observation Haki, this old man was very strong!
Crocus shifted his gaze from Luffy's hat and also looked at Lin Hai with some curiosity.
Being stared at like that, Lin Hai felt uncomfortable, so he said, "What are you looking at? If you want beer, pay Belly for it, 20 Belly a bottle!"
"Duang..."
Nami hit Lin Hai, took the new bottle of beer he had just taken out, and said with a smile, "He's joking, here!"
Crocus looked at the novel drink and said, "I didn't ask you for beer, you offered it yourselves..."
He took a sip and couldn't help but praise it, "This beer is really good, can I have another bottle?"
Lin Hai couldn't help but complain, "Another bottle? Do you think this is a lottery? If you want to drink, pay Belly... Nami! I don't care anymore, the Belly will be charged to you directly!"
"Hahaha..." Luffy couldn't help but say, "Uncle, you are really too funny. By the way, can you tell us how to get out of here?"
Crocus pointed to a spot near the door and said, "You can get out from there."
At that moment, the whale suddenly rolled over.
Crocus understood what had happened and muttered angrily, "It must be someone from Baroque Works trying to mess with Laboon again! This is outrageous..."
Lin Hai pointed to the man and woman on his ship and asked, "Are you talking about them?"
The man and woman who jumped onto the Merry Go were actually Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday.
Miss Wednesday is Princess Nefeltari Vivi of the Alabasta Kingdom.
The two who came aboard were really arrogant and were immediately knocked down by Luffy.
Afterward, led by Crocus, everyone came out of the giant whale Laboon's stomach!
At that moment, Nami looked at her erratic compass and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, is my compass broken?"
Crocus replied, "In this Sea area, all common sense doesn't apply. That compass is not broken."
Nami immediately understood and asked tentatively, "Then, could it be a magnetic field?"
Looking at the Straw Hat on Luffy's head, Crocus had a deep connection with the owner of this Straw Hat, Roger, and coupled with the fact that the Straw Hat Crew didn't seem like bad people, and he had just drunk their stuff.
So, Crocus didn't mind helping them out and explained, "That's right, because the islands in the Grand Line all contain large amounts of magnetic minerals, the magnetic field throughout the entire route is very abnormal, and the currents and wind directions are constantly changing. If you are a navigator, you should understand how terrifying it is here."
Nami: "That's true, it would be utterly despairing without a way to determine our direction."
Crocus smiled, "If you want to navigate the Grand Line, you must have a Log Pose."
Nami: "Log Pose? I've never heard of such a thing."
Crocus explained, "It's a special compass that can record magnetic force."
After Nami understood the situation, it was time to deal with the two people from Baroque Works. They needed to return to Whiskey Peak and had no ship, so they could only ride the Merry Go.
Usopp asked them, "Who are you people, anyway?"
Mr. 9: "Please take us to Whiskey Peak."
Nami asked, "Where is that?"
Mr. 9: "It's the town where we live."
Nami: "Where's your own ship?"
Vivi: "It's broken."
Nami: "You're really thinking of yourselves, aren't you? Mr. 9, you were just trying to kill the whale!"
Usopp asked again, "Who are you people, anyway?"
Mr. 9: "I am the King."
Lin Hai found it amusing, "You're really good at making things up. Do you believe I'll throw you into the Sea?"
Vivi quickly said, "Please don't, I can't say."
Mr. 9: "However, we want to go back to town, and we don't want to be so secretive."
Vivi: "No matter what, our company's motto is mystery."
Mr. 9: "So we can't say anything."
Vivi: "We are asking for help because we value your character."
Mr. 9: "We will definitely repay this kindness."
"Wow!!" Lin Hai couldn't help but exclaim, "These two guys are really quick-witted, are they doing a crosstalk comedy? Luffy, you decide."
Crocus reminded them, "Ignore them, no matter what they say, these two guys are not good people."
After a moment of thought, Luffy said, "Let them board the ship, they said they want to go to Whiskey Peak, right? We'll go there."
Usopp was full of confusion, "Really? Are you going to take these two suspicious people with you?"
Luffy replied, "What does it matter? Don't fuss over small things."
Lin Hai said, "Since the Captain has decided, let's go there. But that Mr. What's-his-name, you have that Log Pose, right?"
Mr. 9 carefully took out his Log Pose and said, "You must take good care of it, this is the only one left. If it breaks..."
Nami snatched the Log Pose directly, "You're so long-winded."
"Oh..."
Again, the giant whale Laboon's cry echoed, and everyone couldn't help but cover their ears. It seemed the whale was very agitated!
This was the rhythm of hitting the mountain again...
.............Chapter 55: Loneliness is also a kind of romance
Seeing Laboon about to go mad again, Luffy couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, why is it hitting the mountain with its head? Is it because the food here doesn't suit its taste?"
Everyone's face darkened, and Zoro couldn't help but retort, "Do you think everyone is like you?"
Lin Hai joked, "Wrong, it should be that Luffy thinks that animal is like Luffy."
Usopp chimed in, "Luffy's appetite seems to be better than that animal's, right?"
Seeing Luffy being criticized by his crewmates like this, and still grinning, Mr. 9 couldn't help but ask Miss Wednesday, "Is he really the Captain?"
Miss Wednesday was completely confused, "Probably, maybe..."
Sanji, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh, "Luffy, you need to be more careful in the future, they're saying you don't look like a Captain."
"Ya ha ha ha, you're all so interesting!" Luffy replied indifferently.
At this time, Crocus explained, "Fifty years ago, a Pirate crew brought Laboon here. Because Laboon was too small, that Pirate crew couldn't take it on adventures and had to leave it here.
Finally, they made a promise that they would come back and take it away after that Pirate crew had circled the world. Unfortunately, fifty years have passed, and that Pirate crew still hasn't returned, so Laboon..."
"Fifty years ago?" Usopp muttered, and everyone understood the rest.
Luffy looked at Crocus and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you tell it that Pirate crew had been wiped out?"
Crocus replied, "I did, but it wouldn't listen."
Seeing Laboon about to hit the mountain again, Luffy immediately came up with an idea. He actually broke off the mast from his ship and stuck it into Laboon's head.
Lin Hai, who was watching, was dumbfounded.
Usopp was the first to lose his temper. That was a gift from Kaya, his childhood friend! Therefore, he angrily said, "Luffy, you bastard..."
Nami also couldn't help but say, "Luffy, don't do anything reckless!"
Luffy acted as if he hadn't heard anything. After fighting with the whale for two rounds, he finally said, "Our duel this time is a draw. Now let's make a promise. Let's duel again after our ship has sailed around the world!"
"Moo moo moo..."
Although they couldn't understand what the giant whale was saying, everyone understood that it agreed.
Lin Hai always felt that these people had no sense of danger? So he looked up and said, "Hey, you stinky fish, stop looking around. I'm talking about you, you bastard fish. Do you know that our ship almost had a shipwreck just now because of you?
Remember this, the world is big, and there are many beautiful things. Life isn't lived just because of a promise! You can dive into the Sea and find a female whale to play with, you idiot.
If you're not interested in that, then be content with loneliness, because isn't loneliness also a kind of romance?"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing a flashy operation. The host is rewarded with a one-level increase in Conqueror's Haki..."
The surprise came too fast, like a tornado...
"Again..." Overjoyed, Lin Hai immediately did dozens of backflips. Because he was too excited, he saw a fish tank nearby. So, Lin Hai grabbed the beautiful fish from the fish tank, kissed it hard, and then threw it into the Sea.
Everyone present was bewildered by Lin Hai's actions!!
Sanji, who had recovered, weakly asked, "Usopp, wasn't that fish the one you worked so hard to catch?"
Usopp had a special fondness for that fish. He didn't expect it to be not only kissed by Lin Hai but also thrown into the Sea after being kissed?
"Lin Hai, you guy..." Usopp was very displeased, so he ran over and threw all the fish Lin Hai had caught into the Sea.
"..." Everyone.
That's food, oh my gosh!!
......
The Going Merry finally left Twin Cape and was preparing to sail to Whiskey Peak.
However, the ship had only been sailing for a short time. It was summer just now, but now it's starting to snow!
The weather in the Pirate world is really unpredictable, constantly changing. It truly lives up to being the Grand Line.
Lin Hai was surprised and said, "Hmm? This is the first snow of 1520. It came a bit more suddenly than usual. You're like a butterfly flying around, Pooh... Hey, Luffy, Usopp, shall we build a snowman?"
Luffy nodded and said, "Let's compete to see who builds the best-looking snowman."
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Usopp laughed, "Speaking of building snowmen, none of you can beat me. When I was in my hometown, I built snowmen for fifty years, and my skill has reached the master level."
Luffy's eyes lit up and he said, "Sugoi, really? Usopp."
Usopp nodded and said, "Of course."
I really don't know if Luffy is truly stupid or pretending to be stupid. He actually believed Usopp's nonsense. Lin Hai quickly ran into the kitchen and asked Sanji for some cane sugar.
Luffy and Usopp had already started building snowmen. Seeing that Lin Hai was still not doing anything, Luffy asked in confusion, "Lin Hai, why haven't you started building yet? Does that mean you've given up on the competition?"
Lin Hai shook his head and said, "You guys build for a while. I'm currently contemplating how to build an earth-shattering, ghost-weeping snowman..."
Soon after, Luffy finished building. When Usopp was going to look at the snowman Luffy built, Lin Hai quickly sprinkled the cane sugar on the snowman Usopp built, and then leisurely started eating it!
Well, even ice cream isn't this delicious, right?
Let Lin Hai build a snowman? What a joke? Cane sugar mixed with molded snow, that's the pursuit!
Usopp, who had recovered, immediately said angrily, "Lin Hai, what did you do to my snowman!"
Lin Hai directly picked up a pile and threw it to Usopp, "Try it?"
Usopp listened to Lin Hai as if possessed, and after taking a bite, he immediately exclaimed, "It's delicious!"
As soon as he heard it was delicious, Luffy couldn't help himself and directly swallowed it whole...
Meanwhile, Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday were sitting at the table in the room, shivering.
Miss Wednesday asked, "Don't you have heating here?"
Mr. 9 chimed in, "What kind of ship is this? We're freezing."
Nami was drawing a map, but these two kept chattering. Annoyed, she directly kicked them out of the room.
After that, the few of them saw the scene on the deck. Usopp and Luffy were constantly building snowmen, while Lin Hai was sprinkling ingredients there?
Then he built and ate at the same time, making it look like a barbecue. Nami and the other two were completely confused by Lin Hai and their actions!
............Chapter 56 Hunter
Mr. 9: "Are they eating?"
Miss Wednesday: "No, they should be eating ice cream, right?"
Mr. 9: "Wow, they're really geniuses!"
"So noisy!" Nami said, "I say, you're wearing short sleeves, aren't you cold?"
Short sleeves? Cold?
Lin Hai and the others finally reacted.
Luffy shivered, and then reacted, "So cold!"
Lin Hai asked, "Not eating anymore?"
Usopp replied, "Eat, why not eat? But let's go back and get some clothes first... Oh, where's Zoro?"
Lin Hai pointed to a spot and said, "He's dreaming!"
Seeing that Zoro was almost buried by the snow, yet still sleeping so soundly, Mr. 9 couldn't help but mutter, "I feel like everyone on this ship is abnormal, don't you agree, Miss Wednesday."
Lin Hai retorted, "Can you talk properly, you guy? When we reach our destination, pay the boat fee!"
As for Miss Wednesday on the side, Lin Hai knew she was the princess of the Alabasta Kingdom. But seeing her look like everything she did had a purpose, Lin Hai felt a wave of displeasure!
At this moment, a flash of Lightning suddenly streaked across the sky. Everyone looked confused; wasn't it snowing? What was the sound of thunder?
What was God trying to do?
They saw dark clouds gathering not far away, and even a small tornado.
Damn!!
Facing such a strange phenomenon, Lin Hai couldn't help but want to try if his sword could split the clouds, but just as he was about to strike, Nami gave him a knock on the head!
"Don't mess around anymore!" After saying that, Nami put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Everyone, on this Sea, even my most proud and trusted navigation skills are not working, so you all need to be serious!"
Usopp was speechless, "Not working, yet you say it with such confidence!"
Luffy's eyes lit up and said, "Sugoi!"
Lin Hai clapped his hands and laughed, "I've never seen such a shameless person!"
Sanji came out of the kitchen, his eyes turning into hearts, and said, "As expected of Miss Nami, if there's anything, please feel free to ask!"
Heavy rain and snow, commonly known as a blizzard, in this unprecedented abnormal weather!
The Going Merry drifted on the turbulent Sea, following the waves.
Fortunately, Nami had superb navigation skills, otherwise most of the people on the ship would have ended up in the Sea to feed the fish...
After the rain stopped and the sky cleared again, Zoro finally woke up!
He stretched lazily, looked at the blue sky with the wind blowing, and a few white clouds drifting by. It was another beautiful day!
When he noticed Lin Hai and the others lying listlessly on the deck, Zoro couldn't help but say, "I say, even if the weather is good, you don't need to be so lazy, right? If you want to sleep, go back to your rooms, you'll catch a cold..."
Nami, unable to bear it any longer, said in a gloomy tone, "Zoro..."
Zoro turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Nami?"
"Duang..."
Zoro held his head, rubbed it, and then angrily looked up and asked, "What are you doing!"
"Duang..."
Another knock on the head greeted Zoro.
Nami said angrily, "You bastard, do you know what happened on the ship just now? No matter how we called you, you wouldn't wake up!"
Zoro now understood a principle: women on the ship are tigers, and when you meet them, you must avoid them at all costs...
.........
The Going Merry finally sailed into Whiskey Peak. Along the way, Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday jumped into the Sea and went home!
And after the Merry Go entered the harbor, the people on both sides actually started to warmly welcome the Pirates!
Because Pirates were the source of income for these people; they were all employees of Baroque Works, with the side job of bounty hunters, specifically targeting Pirates!
Usopp saw the people on both sides welcoming them and waved his hand, smiling, "Ah, hello everyone, my name is Usopp, a brave Sea warrior..."
Sanji only had eyes for beautiful women. Seeing those women warmly welcoming them, his eyes turned into red hearts, and his intelligence disappeared, "So many beautiful young ladies, is this heaven on earth? I love you all..."
Only Nami and Zoro remained vigilant on the Merry Go, while Lin Hai, having watched Pirate King, naturally knew who these people were, but he didn't care.
As soon as the ship docked, Luffy and his crew were directly welcomed in by the bounty hunters led by Igaram, also known as Mr. 8, to attend a Pirate banquet.
And as soon as Luffy heard about the banquet, he immediately followed them.
As soon as Zoro heard about drinking, he also followed them.
As soon as Nami heard about a reward of 100,000 Belly for drinking, she also ran off.
As for Sanji, as soon as he saw women, he didn't need anyone to guide him, he ran off by himself.
And Usopp, this vain guy, loved to join in the fun the most...
Only Lin Hai was left alone here. One of the people saw that Lin Hai was not participating in the banquet and didn't care about Belly, so he tentatively asked, "May I ask what this esteemed guest likes?"
Lin Hai replied, "I prefer to go to a quiet place and have a good sleep. Thank you for your trouble!"
The leader gave a look, and the others immediately understood. Two young and beautiful girls stepped forward and said, "Esteemed guest, please come with us."
"??" Lin Hai raised an eyebrow. Did these people misunderstand? What a deep trap!
Before Lin Hai could protest, his arms were pulled into the room by one on the left and one on the right.
One woman said with a seductive voice, "Handsome, you must be thirsty after the boat ride here, right? Hehehe."
The other woman started to urge him to drink, "Hehe, if you're thirsty, try our local specialty. It's very famous in the East Blue!"
"Hiss." Lin Hai finally understood what it meant to have a demonic aura. He couldn't resist.
A Conqueror's Haki instantly enveloped the area, knocking them all unconscious. Only then did Lin Hai start to eat and drink with peace of mind.
After all, drinking with these people who had ulterior motives felt like Tang Sanzang walking into the Spiderweb Cave. How could he eat and drink?
Looking at their expressions, Lin Hai was speechless. Who was the hunter and who was the prey?
But tonight would definitely be a very interesting night, because tonight was the battle of Zoro's rise, Zoro vs. over a hundred bounty hunters!
...............Chapter 57 You poor bastard
Looking at the few people who had fainted around him, Lin Hai wasn't really a bloodthirsty person. Although they had ill intentions before, Lin Hai really couldn't bring himself to act.
So Lin Hai ate and drank there. After eating and drinking his fill, he took a nap. A cigarette after a meal is better than being a living God!
When he walked out of the room, it was already late at night!
He really didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Lin Hai quickly released Observation Haki to check the current situation!
Oh, Zoro is already fighting with those bounty hunters! Ahem, the battle isn't over yet, but the scene on the rooftop is really interesting. Lin Hai quickly went over to take a look!
At this time, Zoro was fighting Mr. 9 on the rooftop. Mr. 9's attack method was to attack while doing somersaults.
"Hahaha..." Mr. 9 parried with Zoro using the baseball bat in his hand while doing somersaults. "Are you scared? Under my fierce attack, are you unable to hold on?"
The two fought for a while. Zoro held his sword and looked at Mr. 9 curiously from the side, saying speechlessly, "I say, are you serious?"
At this moment, Mr. 9 had separated from Zoro. He didn't expect his attack method to be completely neutralized!
But one shouldn't lose momentum even if they lose. Mr. 9 pointed the baseball bat at Zoro and said, "Roronoa Zoro, do you think I can only do a few somersaults? I can do more! Take this!"
After saying that, Mr. 9 continued his somersaults. Unexpectedly, this was the rooftop, and behind Mr. 9 was not land, but the air!
Then Zoro watched as Mr. 9 crashed!
Facing such an opponent, Zoro said speechlessly, "Isn't there a decent opponent?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Miss Wednesday had already stood in position and then pointed at Zoro and said, "A decent opponent? Roronoa Zoro, you've reached the end of the line when you meet me."
Zoro said playfully, "Is that so?"
Next to Miss Wednesday was that large duck. Its name is Run Fast, and it is Miss Wednesday's mount.
At the right time, Miss Wednesday sat on Run Fast's back and said, "Run Fast, let's go!"
"Ah..." Run Fast received the command and immediately charged forward with Miss Wednesday.
Then, then Zoro watched them charge past.
Zoro said speechlessly, "Are you guys fighting or not?"
Miss Wednesday was truly speechless. What was wrong with this Run Fast!
Lin Hai, who was watching from the side, couldn't hold back anymore. "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Did this duck drink fake milk powder?"
Zoro saw Lin Hai coming and couldn't help but ask, "Where are Luffy and the others?"
"They're still sleeping," Lin Hai said as he walked over to Miss Wednesday's side, pointing at the duck and joking, "Miss Wednesday, your mount is really useless. How about we roast it?"
Miss Wednesday objected, "What kind of joke is that? Run Fast is my companion..."
"Ah ah..." Run Fast was startled when he heard Lin Hai's words and immediately cried out.
Miss Wednesday quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't let him roast you."
Lin Hai poked Run Fast's head and asked Miss Wednesday, "Your mount is so strange. Shouldn't a duck quack? Why does it keep saying 'ah ah'?"
Miss Wednesday said angrily, "Don't act like we're friends. We are currently enemies..."
Lin Hai interrupted, "You are not our opponent. Take this opportunity to run away quickly. Your mission has failed. I heard that if you fail the mission, a killer will come later to deal with those who failed."
After hearing Lin Hai's words, Miss Wednesday immediately realized that she couldn't die here. She had to return to the Alabasta Kingdom and expose Crocodile's plot!
"Thank you for the reminder." After saying that, Miss Wednesday left with Run Fast.
At the right time, Lin Hai threw a bottle of beer to Zoro, and the two sat on the rooftop leisurely drinking beer.
......
What Lin Hai said was indeed true. Miss Wednesday had just walked a short distance down the street when she was immediately pursued by Mr. 5 and his partner, Miss Valentine!
Midway, the identities of Miss Wednesday and Igaram, the manager of Whiskey Peak, were revealed. Miss Wednesday is actually Princess Vivi of the Alabasta Kingdom, and Igaram is the captain of the Alabasta Kingdom's guard.
Everyone who helped Princess Vivi cover her escape was defeated by Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, leaving only Run Fast to escape with Vivi.
Miss Valentine: "Ah hahaha, Mr. 5, if you don't chase her now, she'll run away."
Mr. 5: "She can't run away."
After saying that, Mr. 5 started picking his nose, then flicked the contents from his nostril towards Vivi.
"Booger Bomb!"
"Boom..."
At this time, Mr. 5 was full of confusion. Wasn't he flicking it towards Vivi?
How did he blow up Miss Valentine!
For a moment, Mr. 5 became furious and said, "Who is it? Come out now!"
Not far away, Lin Hai and Zoro were arguing!
Lin Hai: "Why do you still owe Nami 200,000 Belly? It's only 20 Belly, and you still don't have it? You're quite presentable, but you're a penniless bum."
Zoro retorted, "That stinky woman Nami, I borrowed 100,000 Belly from her back then, and I returned it to her that same day. Who knew she would want me to return another 200,000 Belly!"
Lin Hai said contemptuously, "Are you out of your mind? Borrow 100,000 Belly, and return 300,000?"
"Huh?" Zoro replied, "Someone still owes Nami 1,000,000 Belly. How can you, this shameless person, talk about me?"
That's right. Earlier, Igaram requested Nami to ask her companions to save the Princess of the Alabasta Kingdom, promising a generous reward!
Thus, Nami agreed. Nami, claiming that her money was her money and the agreement she signed was everyone's agreement, ordered Lin Hai and Zoro to save Princess Vivi.
Lin Hai and Zoro naturally disagreed, but Nami used the fact that they owed her money as a reason, leading to the current scene.
Just then, Miss Valentine recovered. Being suddenly blown up made her furious, and she immediately flew into the air, delivering a heavy blow to the arguing Lin Hai and Zoro.
Miss Valentine, in mid-air, said with a gloomy face, "Facing opponents like us, you still don't take us seriously. Don't regret it after you die, ah hahaha..."
At this point, Miss Valentine had already begun to use her technique.
"One Kilogram, One Hundred Kilograms, One Thousand Kilograms, Ten Thousand Kilograms, Gravity Press, Go to hell, you bastards..."
As she spoke, Miss Valentine was descending rapidly, about to crash into Lin Hai and Zoro.
Nami, who was on the side, said angrily, "I told you guys, take this seriously!"
...............Chapter 58 You are the wind, I am the sand
Mr. Valentine had fallen, but the effect was quite unexpected for everyone; at this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
They saw Mr. Valentine lying in Lin Hai's arms.
Lin Hai looked at Mr. Valentine in his arms and said, "Beautiful lady, you're a bit heavy, but it's okay, your figure is really good."
This was the first time Mr. Valentine had encountered such a situation. What had just happened? Could it be that her ability had failed?
"Thank you," Mr. Valentine replied, somewhat confused. "What, what do you want to do?"
Lin Hai said affectionately, "You are the wind, I am the sand, what do you think?"
Mr. Valentine looked at the handsome person in front of her. Why would he suddenly say this to her?
However, Mr. Valentine had never watched a Qiong Yao drama from China and didn't understand what that sentence represented.
So, Mr. Valentine replied, "I'm not the wind, and I hate sand. Where are you touching, you bastard? If I remember correctly, we're still enemies, right? Let go of me quickly!"
Lin Hai's face darkened. Shouldn't the woman in his arms have replied, 'Entwined tightly until the ends of the earth'?
It's such a mood killer!
Lin Hai angrily said, "I hate illiterates! Go, Pikachu...!"
After speaking, Lin Hai directly tossed the Mr. Valentine in his arms out!
Everyone looked at Lin Hai in bewilderment. This change was too drastic, wasn't it?
At this moment, Lin Hai pointed at Mr. 5 and said, "Hey, nose-picking guy, stop looking around. I'm talking about you, you ugly thing. Your hairstyle is truly awful. Is that how you do an explosion hairstyle?
If you have no taste, don't mess with your hair. If you're ugly, admit it. Don't make yourself look like a mess. If you scare children, can you bear that responsibility?
So, now, immediately, right now, disappear from my sight with that overweight, illiterate woman next to you! I don't want to see you again!"
Zoro and Nami's eyes twitched, while Princess Vivi on the side felt her brain short-circuiting. What was going on!
At this moment, Nami, who had recovered, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly, finally unable to hold back!
"Ah hahaha, Lin Hai, you guy, hahaha..." Nami laughed, holding her stomach.
After a moment of silence, Mr. 5 on the side became angry and said, "Who exactly are you people? Don't get in the way, Super-sized Bomb...!"
After speaking, Mr. 5 had already begun to attack.
"Room, Space Barrier!"
Lin Hai used the move he had recently thought of. Within the Space Field, he sealed the bombs launched by the opponent with layers of space.
For a moment, the bombs launched by Mr. 5 were being tossed up and down by Lin Hai like a yo-yo.
Zoro on the side had good judgment and couldn't help but sigh, "You can do this too!"
Mr. 5 looked at the bombs he had launched in Lin Hai's hand. Were they being treated as toys by him?
Mr. 5 said with a solemn expression, "Who exactly are you? Why are you stopping us!"
Cough, cough.
Lin Hai once again looked up at the starry sky at a forty-five-degree angle and slowly said, "Me? I've long forgotten who I am, Mr. 5.
I've wandered the world my whole life. The slippers on my feet only kick up the yellow sand on the ground, which then disperses into the jianghu behind me.
So, don't ask who I am. I am someone you cannot afford to provoke!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing a special reward, becoming a swordsman and comprehending the essence of the Nine Swords of Dugu..."
Woah, this wave wasn't a loss!
Zoro on the side secretly spat, 'Show-off!' But Lin Hai's move was pretty cool; he'd learn it later!
It's over, Zoro's character design has completely collapsed!
Meanwhile, Mr. 5's face was gloomy, and he asked again, "Why exactly are you stopping us from carrying out our mission!"
Mr. 5 couldn't back down. The rule of Baroque Works was that those who failed a mission would be hunted down by someone stronger than themselves!
At this moment, Mr. Valentine took out Lin Hai's wanted poster and walked in front of Mr. 5.
After seeing the bounty amount on the wanted poster, Mr. 5 was lost in thought for a long time. How could such a big shot appear here!
Soon, Mr. 5 quickly said, "Mr. Lin Hai, we are giving up this mission. We won't disturb you anymore!"
What could Mr. 5 do?
Make him fight a monster with a bounty of 300 million Belly? Only if he was out of his mind!
"Wait," Lin Hai threw the bomb in his hand back to Mr. 5. "Here's your own stuff back, but be careful, it'll explode!"
Mr. 5 secretly chuckled. He was a Devil Fruit user with the power of explosions; why would he worry about an explosion?
After Mr. 5 took the thing Lin Hai threw at him, as soon as he walked out of Lin Hai's Space Field range, it immediately exploded with a "rumble"!
As the dust cleared, Mr. 5 had already left with Mr. Valentine. As expected, they had a trick up their sleeve.
At this moment, Vivi stepped forward and said, "Thank you for saving me this time."
Nami smiled and said, "You're welcome. We saved you this time on certain conditions."
Igaram on the side walked over to Vivi and said, "Princess, the situation was urgent at the time, and I privately promised them a reward. Please forgive my overstepping!"
Vivi shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it."
Nami's eyes lit up and said, "Since you're a princess, you must be very rich, right? How about you give us one billion Belly as a reward for safely taking you to Alabasta?"
Vivi replied, "I can't produce that much Belly!"
Nami said in disbelief, "How is that possible?"
Igaram explained, "Because Alabasta is currently in turmoil."
Vivi echoed, "That was the purpose of our infiltration into Baroque Works this time. We didn't expect the turmoil in Alabasta to be instigated by Baroque Works behind the scenes.
However, after you send me to the Alabasta Kingdom, I will have my father give you the reward we can afford! How does that sound?"
Lin Hai stepped forward and asked, "The mastermind behind Baroque Works is Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, right?"
"Shichibukai!!" Nami and Zoro exclaimed in surprise.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a fist came flying from not far away. It turned out to be Luffy. His incoming fist was blocked by Lin Hai.
Luffy said angrily, "Lin Hai, get out of the way, I'm going to punch Zoro."
Nami asked in confusion, "Why?"
Luffy explained, "Why? That Zoro is ungrateful; he actually cut down the people who invited us to eat!"
Zoro was about to step forward to explain, but Lin Hai directly punched Luffy.
Lin Hai angrily said, "You bastard, you're the Captain, but you slept like a pig and didn't know anything. You still have the nerve to be angry at Zoro!"
Luffy roared, "What did you say! You don't know, those were civilians, and Zoro cut them down!"
Lin Hai was too lazy to explain, "So what do you want? If you're unhappy, how about we have a match?"
Luffy replied, "Bring it on, who's afraid of who!"
"Duang..." X2
Lin Hai and Luffy were both knocked out...
...............Chapter 59: Learning from Lin Hai
"Ya ha ha ha..." After Nami and Vivi's explanation, Luffy finally understood that the people Zoro had cut down were all bounty hunters. Luffy laughed awkwardly and patted Lin Hai's shoulder, saying, "You should have said so earlier! So they were all bounty hunters! I misunderstood Zoro!"
Lin Hai slapped Luffy's hand away, grabbed his head, and pointed to a graveyard on Whiskey Peak, saying, "See that? If it weren't for Zoro, that's where you'd be sleeping!"
Luffy nodded and said, "Sorry, I misunderstood you guys. But the banquet just now was really fun! Do you know, Lin Hai, the food was so delicious, especially the squid, the delicious grilled meat, and and..."
Nami on the side was negotiating the reward with Vivi, but Luffy's shouting made her impatient. She said, "So noisy! Everyone, be quiet!"
Luffy immediately shut up!
Just then, Zoro asked, "Nami, I heard this matter involves a Shichibukai. Are you sure you still want to participate?"
Only then did Nami remember, Shichibukai!
Nami immediately exclaimed, "I don't want the reward anymore! Goodbye! Oh, don't say goodbye!"
The contrast before and after is too great, right?
Vivi said weakly, "Nami, it's too late to regret it, because those two birds have already drawn you!"
Nami exclaimed, "I don't want this! Why, why are we being hunted by a Shichibukai as soon as we reach the Grand Line?"
Seeing Nami so scared, Lin Hai couldn't help but mock, "This is your own doing. When Zoro and I were happily drinking there, I don't know who got greedy for money and insisted we help..."
"Duang..." Nami said angrily, "I regret it to death, and you're still making sarcastic remarks!"
Lin Hai got up, put his arm around Nami's waist, and laughed, "What are you afraid of? How about we escape back to Cocoyasi Village to make monkeys?"
Nami said furiously, "Let go of me! Who wants to make monkeys with you!"
"Ya ha ha." Luffy laughed, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just one Shichibukai, right? Since we've been targeted, let's go meet him."
Nami retorted, "What do you know? Do you know what level of Pirate a Shichibukai is? The World's Greatest Swordsman Hawkeye back then, he was one of the Shichibukai! Are we a match for someone like that?"
Vivi nodded and said, "There are a total of seven such individuals. With overwhelming strength, the World Government tacitly allows them privileges, giving them the right to plunder other Pirates!"
Luffy exclaimed, "Oh, there are so many powerful people like that?"
Zoro said with interest, "Shichibukai, that's interesting!"
Nami said speechlessly, "Do you guys even realize how serious this is!"
Lin Hai said amusedly, "That Shichibukai, Crocodile, seems to be very rich. I didn't expect him to send his subordinates just now to take our heads to the Navy for the bounty.
This is outrageous! Since that's the case, let's go demand compensation from Crocodile. How does that sound?"
"nani?!" Everyone exclaimed.
Nami said in horror, "You want to go demand compensation from Crocodile? Are you out of your mind!"
Lin Hai ignored Nami's words and continued, "As Pirates, the first thing is to increase our bounty, and the second is to do whatever we want, no, to be free and unrestrained.
Now that someone has come knocking on our door, why should we just swallow our anger? As free and unrestrained Pirates, shouldn't we beat up anyone we don't like?"
Luffy laughed, "That's a good idea! Let's do it!"
Zoro gripped his sword tightly, indicating his agreement.
But Nami couldn't accept it, saying, "That's a Shichibukai! I really don't know what you guys are thinking!"
Lin Hai tempted, "I heard Crocodile is very rich. Are you sure you don't want to?"
Seeing that the Captain had agreed, Nami had no choice but to comply, plus the temptation of Crocodile being very rich!
Nami immediately perked up and quickly turned to Vivi to confirm, "Is Crocodile really very rich?"
Vivi nodded and said, "He is indeed very rich. He has casinos in many places in the Alabasta Kingdom..."
Nami immediately replied, "Okay, then it's decided. Let's go to Alabasta Kingdom!"
Just then, Zoro said, "What about Sanji and Usopp?"
Luffy only then realized they were still sleeping.
So, Luffy said, "I'll go wake them up, and then we'll head to Alabasta!"
This time, the Going Merry's departure was hurried. Sanji and Usopp had just woken up when they heard they were going to demand compensation from the Shichibukai Crocodile, and their jaws almost dropped!
"Uh huh, it's really hurried."
Who's talking?
Everyone turned to look at the railing on the second floor of the ship's cabin area, where they saw a woman with a hot figure wearing a hat.
(The design of the Merry Go, the second floor only occupies a part of the ship's area.)
Luffy asked doubtfully, "Who are you? Why are you on our ship?"
Vivi on the side explained, "She is the Vice President of Baroque Works, Nico Robin!"
Upon hearing Vivi's introduction, everyone became vigilant.
Luffy took a fighting stance and said, "Are you here to avenge them?"
Nico Robin didn't answer. Instead, she used her Devil Fruit ability to take Luffy's Straw Hat and put it on her own head.
Lin Hai watched all this, feeling bored. He lay down in a spot and fell into a deep sleep, because dawn was approaching, and he, Lin Hai, hadn't slept yet!!
It wasn't his fault that those beautiful women were so pitiful. They were hungry, so how could Lin Hai not give them something to eat? They were lonely, so how could he not comfort them?
At this time, after the Straw Hat Crew and Nico Robin got to know each other a bit, Robin explained her purpose. She wasn't there for revenge or to carry out a mission, just out of curiosity.
Finally, Robin threw a permanent Log Pose to Nami, explaining that according to this permanent Log Pose, they could go directly to Alabasta.
But Luffy was stubborn and destroyed the permanent Log Pose, feeling that the ship's route should be decided by him, the Captain!
Afterward, Robin left on her turtle, and the Going Merry also set sail.
Nami on the side noticed that Lin Hai had fallen asleep directly on the deck?
Nami couldn't help but turn her head and ask, "Is Lin Hai that tired?"
Zoro said, "He doesn't seem to have slept at all, right?"
Nami put her hands on her hips and began lecturing Luffy and the others, "I say, you guys are too careless, aren't you? As soon as we docked, except for Zoro and Lin Hai, all of you were like this! You must learn more from Lin Hai and Zoro on this point, understood?"
"Understood!" X3
Nami said very satisfied, "Zoro, there's nothing going on right now, do you want to go sleep for a while too?"
Zoro shook his head and said, "No need, I slept enough during the day."
One wonders what Lin Hai, in his sleep, would think if he heard Nami holding him up as an example?
...............Chapter 60 Who did it?
Today's voyage was very smooth, and we didn't encounter any bad weather.
By this time, the sky was already bright. Nami and Vivi, standing by the railing on the second deck of the ship, were chatting.
Vivi pointed to where Lin Hai was sleeping not far away and asked, "What are they doing?"
Nami shook her head and said, "Who knows? As long as they don't mess around, let's just ignore them."
Vivi asked with concern, "That Lin Hai is sleeping there, should we get him a blanket?"
Nami said speechlessly, "Don't bother with him, that guy is as strong as a monster. Oh, right, let's go to the room and see how my new clothes look?"
Although it was a question, Nami had already pulled Vivi into the room...
On the deck, after Usopp and the others finished their tasks, they tried their best to suppress their laughter and then started fishing.
Who knows how long passed, but Lin Hai finally woke up!
"Ah, another day waking up handsome." Just as he finished muttering, Lin Hai noticed something was off.
This feeling was indescribable!
Oh, it turned out that the few guys sitting by the side fishing were too quiet, unusually quiet!
Lin Hai didn't plan to bother with them and was just about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat when he saw Zoro come out of the training room.
As soon as Zoro saw Lin Hai, he couldn't hold back, "Pfft... Hahaha..."
Lin Hai asked in confusion, "What's so funny?"
Just as Zoro was about to say something, Sanji quickly came over, covered Zoro's mouth, and said, "Nothing, you're awake! You must be hungry, right? Everything is in the kitchen."
"How strange." Lin Hai said as he entered the kitchen, but he could faintly hear laughter from outside the ship. Something was really off!
So, Lin Hai came out of the kitchen and said, "What's so funny?"
"No, nothing."
"We were just telling jokes."
"Right, right, the joke Usopp told just now was too funny!"
Looking at their strange expressions, Lin Hai was completely speechless. Could it be that they were stunned by his handsomeness?
Let's go ask Nami and the others!
When Nami and Vivi saw Lin Hai's appearance, they burst into laughter!
"Hahaha, Lin Hai, what is this? Hahaha..."
"Hahaha, I can't take it anymore!"
Lin Hai was completely bewildered. He quickly grabbed the mirror from Nami's room and looked!
Ahem, what's with these six whiskers? Which bastard drew him, Lin Hai, like a big calico cat?
Wow, it's really lifelike, even more real than the real thing!
Great drawing skills!
Damn it!!
Instantly, Lin Hai's furious roar echoed across the Merry Go, "Who did this!!"
A moment later, on the deck.
Lin Hai said, "Speak, who drew it!"
"Not us!" everyone said at the same time.
Lin Hai shook his head and said, "Luffy, it must be you. Especially those whiskers, they are clearly your handiwork."
Luffy said anxiously, "Nonsense, I only drew the corner of the eye..."
Realizing what he had said, Luffy quickly covered his mouth.
Lin Hai turned to look at Sanji and asked, "You came up with the idea, right?"
Sanji played dumb and said, "What idea?"
Lin Hai shook his head and said, "Originally, I had several photos of beautiful women here that I wanted to show you. It seems you don't need them."
Sanji quickly pointed at Usopp and said, "Usopp came up with the idea, and he drew most of it!"
Usopp exclaimed in horror, "You guys!!"
Suddenly, Lin Hai shouted, "Zoro, bring me my forty-meter long greatsword!"
Upon hearing Lin Hai's words, Luffy's eyes lit up and he said, "A forty-meter long greatsword? Sugoi, Zoro, quick, let me see it!"
Usopp exclaimed, "You idiot, Lin Hai is getting a sword to deal with us!"
Luffy exclaimed, "nani?! No!"
Usopp's eyelid twitched, completely speechless at Luffy!
Meanwhile, Zoro on the side was completely confused. A forty-meter greatsword? If he had one, how would he not know?
Lin Hai said exasperatedly, "It's that kitchen knife next to you!"
When Luffy saw the kitchen knife, he immediately said disdainfully, "What? I thought it was really a forty-meter long greatsword!"
Usopp said weakly, "Luffy, can you please not be so expressive!"
Of course, Lin Hai was just threatening them; he wouldn't actually lay a hand on them!
After a bout of noise, Lin Hai suddenly remembered the reward he received at Whiskey Peak, the essence of the Nine Swords of Dugu!
The Nine Swords of Dugu emphasizes skill and counter-thinking. This is one direction of swordsmanship, but it is not Lin Hai's swordsmanship.
Because in this world, if your power is insufficient, no matter how skillfully you use techniques, you will either be sent flying or your sword will be broken!
And the true technique is to return to the most basic movements!
Of course, these most basic movements are completely different from those of a beginner.
This requires observing a large number of techniques, which means gaining rich experience in actual combat, as well as continuous practice to form muscle memory, etc., in order to achieve the simplicity of the great Dao!
Currently, this is Lin Hai's understanding of swordsmanship. Although he hasn't reached the level of the simplicity of the great Dao, it's more than enough to beat Zoro!
And so, Lin Hai began practicing chopping movements on the deck, repeating them continuously!
Lin Hai realized at this point that there were always some deviations between the direction of the chop and the intended direction. This was a matter of proficiency!
Zoro, who had been watching for a long time, couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Are you practicing swordsmanship?"
Lin Hai nodded and said, "Yes."
Zoro asked curiously, "Can such simple chopping improve swordsmanship?"
Lin Hai said with a laugh, "Everyone's understanding of swordsmanship is different. Think about the day you fought Hawkeye. No matter how flashy your techniques were, Hawkeye defeated you with just simple sword strikes. Why was that?"
Zoro asked curiously, "Why?"
Lin Hai replied, "Power, speed, eyesight, proficiency, etc., etc. Figure it out slowly yourself, but I still suggest you first learn how to cut iron!"
Zoro nodded thoughtfully, then returned to his training room.
Why did Lin Hai practice swordsmanship?
Because the Space Devil Fruit is very compatible with swordsmanship! And, Lin Hai's high wind is simply too cool!
The Space Devil Fruit is different from the Surgery Devil Fruit. Although both establish a Space Field, the stamina required for the Surgery Devil Fruit is definitely more than that for the Space Devil Fruit.
Furthermore, the development directions of the two Devil Fruits are different. The Space Devil Fruit focuses on unpredictable attacks and evasions, while the Surgery Devil Fruit focuses on medical skills. The two cannot be compared!
(Some readers have commented that the Space Devil Fruit is a lower-ranking Devil Fruit than the Surgery Devil Fruit. Here, the author clarifies that this is not the case!)
Thinking of this, Lin Hai opened the System panel.

Tier 3 Conqueror's Haki, is this a quantitative change in Haki? If it rises another tier, will he be able to imbue Conqueror's Haki?
If Conqueror's Haki is imbued into a sword, wouldn't that be Roger's technique, Kamusari?
Lin Hai chuckled to himself. Kamusari should require extremely high swordsmanship; being able to imbue Conqueror's Haki doesn't necessarily mean one can use Kamusari. He was thinking too simply!
He should still practice the basics first! He, Lin Hai, should be considered a Great Swordsman now!
