Chapter 41: Nami is lonely?
"They scared Captain Nezumi away, wasn't that letting that scoundrel off too easily?"
"It definitely let him off easy. I'll report him later..."
"Exactly, this Captain Nezumi is a guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong. We should have beaten him up again just now..."
Watching these people, Lin Hai raised an eyebrow, "How about I go catch him and pull out his whiskers?"
Gen shook his head, "No need. Anyway, the Arlong Pirates have been defeated, hahaha..."
"Let's have a banquet to celebrate..."
Just like that, to celebrate the end of years of nightmares, everyone started cheering.
Lin Hai walked over to Village Chief Gen and said to the Doctor beside him, "Um, a friend of mine is seriously injured, can you help treat him?"
The old Doctor replied, "Of course, no problem. Who is injured?"
Luffy was confused, "Did someone among us get seriously injured? How come I didn't know?"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes, "We don't know how to treat Zoro's wound. We just disinfected it before. Get it treated quickly now, otherwise the consequences will be serious!"
Zoro was full of doubt, "I don't need this. I'll be fine after a few sleeps."
Lin Hai nodded and replied, "Oh, is that so? Then it's fine."
Zoro was furious, "Lin Hai, you guy! I'm really fine, let go of me! Ah!! It hurts, it hurts, don't touch my wound..."
...
In the darkness, only Lin Hai was left, lying on his side in a corner of the house, while Zoro's wails kept coming from the room.
The Doctor treating Zoro's wound couldn't help but mutter when he saw such a severe wound, "Lie still! Don't you have a ship Doctor on your ship? This is too reckless!"
"Ah..." A wound from a few days ago becomes more painful to treat, causing Zoro to involuntarily squirm, mainly due to his body's instinctive reaction.
Lin Hai, outside the window, gloated, "A wound on the back is a swordsman's shame? Mm-hmm, if it feels good, shout it out! Don't just go 'ah, ah', you should shout 'Ah, this feels good!'..."
Zoro's face darkened, "Lin Hai, you bastard!!"
Just then, Luffy came running over, "Huh? Lin Hai, why are you lying here? There's lots of delicious food over there, aren't you going to eat?"
Lin Hai turned his body and waved his hand, "Eat, eat, eat. Where does all that food you eat go? When you fought Arlong, wasn't the problem too big?"
Luffy asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
Lin Hai was speechless, "If I had made a move, Arlong would have been a one-punch problem. You fought for so long and almost drowned yourself. Your problem is huge!"
Luffy said indifferently, "Is that so? Oh right, where did Nami go? Aren't you going to comfort her?"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes, "Comfort her about what? She's probably experiencing a mix of emotions right now. We'd better not disturb her."
Seeing Luffy preparing to run off to eat again, Lin Hai quickly asked, "When are we setting sail?"
Luffy pondered for a moment and replied, "That depends on Nami."
Lin Hai nodded, "Zoro also needs a few days to recover. So let's talk about it after this banquet is over."
After Luffy left, Zoro asked doubtfully, "Lin Hai, why aren't you going to hang out with those girls? This isn't like you."
Damn, hang out? If I messed around here, how would the people in this village view Nami! They're really a bunch of guys who don't understand social etiquette!
It's true that he, Lin Hai, likes girls, but he wouldn't be like Sanji. Sanji is sick!
Lin Hai got up and replied, "Forget it, I'm going back to the ship to sleep. It's too noisy here, especially a certain guy's voice, wailing like a pig being slaughtered..."
Zoro said angrily, "You bastard, I'm going to cut you down!!"
Doctor: "Don't you squirm!"
Zoro: "Ah, it hurts, be gentle, Doctor..."
...
Only Lin Hai was left on the ship, looking at the lights emanating from the village high in the distance, like a rare treasure appearing. This was a scene he had never seen before, causing Lin Hai to look at it a few more times!
After lying down on his bed, Lin Hai quickly brought up his personal panel.
Because after falling unconscious at the Sea Restaurant, the system began optimizing, causing the data to change...
sao system
Host: Lin Hai
Constitution: Fifth Tier (Top Ten Tier)
Observation Haki: First Tier
Armament Haki: First Tier
Conqueror's Haki: Second Tier (Can freely control the target of intimidation)
Skill 1:
1. Establish Space Field
2. One-Sword Style
3. Space Slash (Advanced application of Space Fruit, on cooldown)
Skill 2:
Nine Swords of Dugu (Reference)
System Store (Open)
Pheromone Coins: 25
Note: Combat strength is no longer presented numerically. Personal combat strength is mainly assessed by overall ability. The numerical mode is no longer a reference.
Seeing this content, Lin Hai understood that with his mastery of the three types of Haki and his Space abilities, the system could no longer assess whether he, Lin Hai, had the strength of a Captain, a Rear Admiral, or even higher.
Because, in life-or-death duels, Lin Hai, possessing these abilities, as long as the difference in strength isn't too great, even those stronger than Lin Hai could potentially be counter-killed by Lin Hai!
As for the Nine Swords of Dugu, Lin Hai was quite speechless. The power system of this world is different. Lin Hai found that he couldn't cultivate it at all because there's no concept of 'internal energy' in the Pirate world.
Lin Hai quickly communicated with the system, "System, what do you mean by this? I thought you gave me an unparalleled sword technique, and this is it?"
sao system: "Because the Host only started learning swordsmanship midway, the Nine Swords of Dugu technique is the most suitable for the Host!"
Learning the sword moves within it and understanding the philosophy of the manual? This is indeed suitable for me.
After closing the system, listening to the sound of the waves outside the ship and the faint sounds of celebration coming from the distant village...
Lin Hai began to ask himself what he truly wanted.
As for becoming the Pirate King or anything like that, he, Lin Hai, was very sure that he wasn't really interested in the Pirate King. However, he was a little interested in what that One Piece was. So many people were pursuing it, and he, Lin Hai, wanted to see it too!
After a long time, Lin Hai realized that what he liked and was most interested in was still beautiful women!
Before Lin Hai could continue thinking, he suddenly noticed someone boarding the ship. Lin Hai quickly released his Observation Haki. It was Nami's presence...
What is she doing here?
Could it be that she's lonely?
...Chapter 42: Waves
Walking out of the room and seeing Nami approaching, Lin Hai asked, "Why are you here?"
Nami rolled her eyes and said, "Of course I'm here to see you. Everyone is having a feast. As for you, why did you run off to sleep on the ship by yourself?"
Lin Hai replied, "Let's go tomorrow. Looking at their momentum, this feast won't end for days and nights."
Saying this, Lin Hai sat by the edge of the deck, gazing at the sky full of stars, while Nami sat beside Lin Hai.
Following Lin Hai's gaze, Nami looked up at the sky and only then realized how beautiful the sky was.
Nami sighed, "So the night sky here is this beautiful..."
Lin Hai replied, "Yeah, didn't you know that before?"
Nami shook her head and replied, "Before, I didn't have this kind of mood."
Lin Hai sighed, "The waves are as usual, turning up troublesome ripples. Life is so thought-provoking..."
Nami said confusedly, "What are you saying? I don't quite understand..."
Lin Hai teased, "Who told you not to study hard before? All you knew was Belly, Belly every day. Now you don't understand, who's to blame!"
Nami: "You guy, your words are always so annoying, as if you've read a lot of books."
After a moment of silence, Nami softly said, "Lin Hai, thank you for saving Cocoyasi Village this time, I..."
Lin Hai quickly said, "Hold on, everyone wanted to beat up that Arlong. It doesn't have much to do with saving you. At most, you're just collateral..."
Nami, angry, pinned Lin Hai down, "You guy, is it that hard to say it was for me? You just have to say something so irritating. I'm a girl! I need comfort, okay?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Partners shouldn't mix in this kind of feeling, otherwise I'm afraid you'll think we're pitying you, which will make it very awkward for us to get along in the future!"
Nami retorted, "Who cares about that, are you going to say it or not!"
Lin Hai asked, "Say what?"
Nami said, "Say that you defeated Arlong for me!"
"For you?" Lin Hai said contemptuously, "Don't flatter yourself, I won't say it. If you don't let go of me, I'm going to fight back!"
Nami said playfully, "You dare to hit me?"
Lin Hai flipped over, and the situation instantly reversed, with Lin Hai pinning Nami down.
The two looked at each other for a moment...
Looking at this beautiful face, Lin Hai couldn't help but recall Nami's past. This was a strong, brave, yet very pitiful woman...
Lin Hai then thought about himself, would he only stay with Nami alone? The answer was definitely no. He, Lin Hai, was very certain of this!
Lin Hai quickly got up and said, "It's getting late, you should go back and sleep quickly."
Nami smiled slyly, "This isn't like you. Didn't you always think about taking advantage of me before? What's wrong now?"
Lin Hai had no choice but to be frank, "I'm afraid I'll hurt you. Are you going back to the village or sleeping here?"
Nami didn't answer, but instead hugged Lin Hai from behind, and then softly said, "Do you know? I never imagined being this free before. I was like a blade of grass about to be submerged by water, and you saved me..."
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "It was everyone, can you let go of me..."
I can't handle this, 1.7-meter Nami, 36E...
Nami felt Lin Hai's breathing become unsteady and immediately said proudly, "Since I'm here, I'm not planning on going back!"
Lin Hai asked, "Are you planning to repay a favor or is there another reason?"
Nami: "Both. Who told you to always take advantage of me before!"
Lin Hai turned around, looked into Nami's eyes, and said, "Since you don't regret it, then I won't be polite!"
Lin Hai picked up Nami and returned to the room!
...
The next morning
Nami, in deep sleep, felt that this was the most peaceful sleep she had had in years.
Nami woke up, and soon, she understood what was happening...
"Hmm..." Nami said, "What time is it now?"
Lin Hai replied, "Who knows? The villagers are still having a feast. Let's just cherish this time here!"
Nami said speechlessly, "No, I still need to go back and pack my things..."
How could Lin Hai listen to Nami?
Lin Hai praised, "Anyway, a little bit of time won't hurt, right?"
After who knows how long, Nami gave Lin Hai a glare, "I'll go back first, you go in a little later."
Lin Hai replied, "I'll listen to you..."
At Cocoyasi Village, the villagers were still singing and dancing happily from when the feast started yesterday until now, showing no signs of fatigue.
Usopp set up a high platform with stools and tables, then stood on it and started bragging.
Luffy, this guy, who knows how much he ate, but anyway, he was constantly stuffing things into his mouth.
Sanji was cooking on one side, surrounded by a group of children, all exclaiming repeatedly. His speed was truly impressive...
And Zoro was actually drinking in one place!!
Zoro saw Lin Hai coming over and immediately smiled, "Yo Lin Hai, the sake here is really good, want some?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Your wound was just treated, and you're still drinking?"
Zoro asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem?"
Lin Hai couldn't be bothered with him, these beasts! They were truly speechless.
"There's a big problem, anyway, you can't drink." Lin Hai pointed at Usopp on the high platform and asked Zoro, "Has Usopp been shouting like that since last night until now? Won't his throat have problems?"
Zoro shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure, he was already there when I came out."
Lin Hai exclaimed, "You're all a bunch of monsters, it's terrifying!"
Zoro said contemptuously, "Aren't you the weirdest one here?"
Ignoring Zoro's question, Lin Hai looked at the sword on Zoro's waist and couldn't help but suggest, "I think you should practice swordsmanship with one sword."
Zoro asked doubtfully, "Why?"
Lin Hai smiled, "Because your One-Sword Style is really bad..."
What Zoro disliked most was when others said he was inferior to them. Now that Lin Hai said this, he immediately became annoyed, "What did you say? Do you want to compare now?"
Lin Hai waved his hand, "Come on, the great swordsman with no wounds on his back!"
Zoro's face turned red, and he said angrily, "You bastard, do you want to compare now..."
Lin Hai quickly ran away. What a joke, he, Lin Hai, hadn't eaten since the feast started and was almost starving to death...
...Chapter 43 Lin Hai is isolated
After defeating Arlong, the villagers of Cocoyasi Village and neighboring villages gathered in Cocoyasi Village for a banquet. The banquet lasted for three days and three nights, and it only ended when people couldn't bear it anymore.
The next day, under the bright sunshine and gentle breeze, many villagers gathered at the coast. They were there to see off the Straw Hat Crew.
On the Going Merry, Sanji didn't see Nami and couldn't help but ask Lin Hai, "Miss Nami? She's not coming, is she?"
Lin Hai shook his head and said, "How would I know."
Luffy was still in the mood from the banquet and couldn't help but ask, "Sanji, why can't I find that ham and melon!"
Everyone was too lazy to bother with Luffy, while Usopp on the side replied, "Nami probably won't come. After all, her village has been saved, and she has no reason to go out to Sea with us and live such an adventurous life..."
Sanji said anxiously, "How can this be? If Nami doesn't come, then I lose 98.72% of my meaning on this ship!"
After speaking, Sanji seemed to remember something, immediately turned to look at Zoro and asked, "It must be you who said something to Nami, that's why she's not coming, right?"
Zoro asked confusedly, "Why would I do that?"
Sanji said, "You're jealous of how much Nami and I love each other, that's why you did that. It must be."
"Are you an idiot?"
"What did you say!"
"Do you want to fight?"
Damn, these two!
Lin Hai immediately sat aside and watched the show, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a small bottle of wine in the other, sipping with relish.
Usopp exclaimed, "Lin Hai, where did you get that thing in your hand!"
Before Lin Hai could speak, Nami's shout came from the coast: "Set sail..."
With that, Nami started running.
Usopp on the Merry Go wondered, "What does Nami mean by this?"
Luffy laughed, "We'll just set sail."
A moment later, Nami, who was on the Cocoyasi Village, made a jump. Lin Hai exclaimed, if this Nami were in China, she would definitely win the long jump championship!
The villagers on the Cocoyasi Village immediately understood Nami's action.
"Is Nami planning to say goodbye to us like this?"
"No, how can we say goodbye so hastily, Nami..."
"Huh? What is Nami doing?"
At this moment, Nami, standing on the deck, pulled up her clothes, and her wallet clattered out.
That wasn't enough. Nami pulled out a large bill, kissed it, and then smiled, "Everyone, take care!"
Usopp, Zoro, and Lin Hai, who saw this scene on the ship, had black lines all over their heads. This Nami is truly speechless!
And on the Cocoyasi Village, the mixed voices of the villagers immediately sounded...
"How dare you, quickly return the wallet, you little thief cat!"
"Come back, Nami, you can't say goodbye to us so hastily..."
"You must take good care of yourself, Nami, goodbye..."
...
Soon, the Going Merry sailed out of the Sea area near Cocoyasi Village.
The noise of the banquet still faintly echoed in their minds. Although they had stayed in Cocoyasi Village for a few days, it had created a hint of emotion in everyone.
Especially looking at Nami lying on a bench reading a newspaper, Lin Hai couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart. The charm of that night still made Lin Hai linger and remember, never fading...
Nami noticed that Lin Hai was looking at her, but she didn't pay much attention and continued to read the contents of the newspaper.
Just then, Luffy was kicked onto the deck by Sanji.
Luffy said, "Just one orange, stingy Sanji."
Sanji objected, "These are Nami's treasures, you can't eat a single one! Ah, Lin Hai, when did you steal those oranges? Are you asking for a beating?"
Lin Hai said contemptuously, "These oranges were brought from the village, okay?"
Suddenly, several pieces of paper the size of wanted posters fell out of the newspaper in Nami's hand and landed on the deck. Everyone looked over curiously.
From the corner of his eye, Lin Hai saw the handsome photo of himself. In the photo, Lin Hai was holding his high wind and looking back.
It turned out that at the Sea Restaurant, when Lin Hai was talking to Hawkeye, Lin Hai said something flirtatious and it was captured in a photo...
Lin Hai was very satisfied with such a handsome photo, but when Lin Hai saw the bounty amount below the photo, Lin Hai was struck like by an electric shock and froze there...
The people on the ship noticed Lin Hai's abnormality. Zoro asked, "What's wrong with that guy Lin Hai?"
Usopp held Luffy's wanted poster and exclaimed, "Wow, Luffy's first bounty is thirty million Belly, that's amazing."
"Ya hahaha." Luffy said happily, "Thirty million, thirty million, Lin Hai, have you been given a bounty too?"
Zoro took the wanted poster from Lin Hai's hand, and the others also looked at the bounty amount. Everyone was stunned.
"Pfft, hahaha..."
"Hahaha, Lin Hai, what kind of act that offends both God and man did you do?"
Nami said, "Sanji, what's wrong? Why are you like Lin Hai..."
It turned out that Sanji's wanted picture was an idiotic face, with his yellow hair, curly eyebrows, lifeless eyes, and thick lips...
Compared to Sanji himself, the difference was too great!
And Lin Hai?
Lin Hai's photo was fine, but the bounty amount was actually 250 Belly!
Lin Hai felt completely terrible. It was 250 Belly, not twenty million or two hundred million...
What can 250 Belly do?
Maybe you can't even buy one of someone's shoes!
And Sanji's bounty amount was eight million Belly. Although Sanji didn't care much about the amount, the picture was something Sanji couldn't accept at all.
Zoro's bounty amount was ten million Belly, Usopp's bounty amount was five million Belly, but Nami didn't have a bounty.
For a moment, seeing this information, everyone's reactions varied.
Zoro, Luffy, and Usopp were happy.
Sanji knelt on the deck like a stone statue, while Lin Hai completely shut himself off.
People's happiness is indeed different. Lin Hai squatted in the corner of the ship and drew unknown circles.
Why is it only 250 Belly? If I meet fellow Pirates in the future, it would be a miracle if I'm not laughed to death!
Where did something go wrong? Why is there such a ridiculous bounty!
It must be that damned Captain Nezumi!
Lin Hai exclaimed, "Nami, turn the ship around, I'm going back to kill that Captain Nezumi! How could he give such an outrageous bounty!"
Usopp quickly grabbed Lin Hai, "Lin Hai, calm down, it's good that you even have a bounty. I don't have a bounty at all, hahaha..."
Lin Hai said shamefully, "Before I kill Captain Nezumi, I'll kill you first! I'll let you laugh at me!"
"Ah, help me quickly, Lin Hai is going to kill someone..."
"Hahaha..."
.........Chapter 44 Fruit Development
Back then, when Captain Nezumi faxed the Straw Hat Crew's photos, he exaggerated their deeds and danger level.
Originally, Lin Hai's bounty wasn't 250 Belly. What was annoying was that Lin Hai's wanted poster was seen by the passing Marine Admiral Aokiji.
It's true that paths cross again; Aokiji hadn't forgotten that Lin Hai had borrowed 250 Belly from him back then. And so, Aokiji, with a wicked sense of humor, personally set this amount!
Who told that stinky Lin Hai to make him so angry back then?
When Aokiji handed Lin Hai's wanted poster to Garp, Garp gave all his senbei to Fleet Admiral Sengoku...
Because Garp was full!
I remember Garp and Aokiji looked at Lin Hai's wanted poster and laughed for several hours straight!
If Lin Hai knew that Aokiji was the one who did this, Lin Hai would definitely hone his skills and then go to Navy Headquarters to find Aokiji and have a good spar to see what swordsmanship is!
At this moment, on the Going Merry.
Lin Hai couldn't eat, and beauties no longer smelled fragrant. He was still hiding on the deck drawing strange circles, cursing Captain Nezumi to have as much hair as he had beard...
Meanwhile, Sanji on the side was quite amusing!
Luffy smiled and said, "Sanji, don't be unhappy. Getting an eight million Belly bounty for the first time is already pretty good."
Sanji pointed at the photo on his wanted poster and asked, "Is this me? Why did my photo turn out like this? Now all the beauties in the world will definitely laugh themselves to death!"
Luffy took the wanted poster from Sanji's hand, examined it, and replied, "This is your photo, alright. It's exactly the same."
"Hahahaha..." Zoro echoed, "Right, right, exactly the same, hahahaha..."
Sanji retorted, "Where is it the same?! Damn Navy!! By the way, where's Lin Hai?"
Luffy replied, "He's over there."
Sanji looked in the direction Luffy pointed and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Lin Hai?"
Usopp covered his mouth and handed Lin Hai's wanted poster to Sanji. After Sanji saw it, his mood immediately balanced out!
"Hahahaha..." Only then did Sanji realize there was such a bizarre thing in the world.
250 Belly?
Sanji clutched his stomach and rolled around on the deck.
Lin Hai suppressed the urge to slaughter these guys and continued drawing his circles...
After a long time, once the novelty wore off, Luffy couldn't resist and started clamoring for someone to play with him again...
Luffy ran to Lin Hai's side and said excitedly, "Lin Hai, let's play hide-and-seek?"
Lin Hai somewhat doubted his ears, "What did you just say?"
Luffy smiled and said, "Hide-and-seek!"
Usopp on the side shouted, "Count me in."
Lin Hai quickly refused, "What's fun about this? In broad daylight, how can we hide? Go play with Zoro and Sanji. I need to ponder my abilities!"
As soon as Zoro on the side heard about playing hide-and-seek, he immediately exclaimed, "How old are you guys? That's something Kids play, isn't it?"
Usopp chuckled slyly, "I think you're afraid of losing, aren't you?"
"What did you say!!" One of Zoro's biggest weaknesses is his competitiveness, which is also his strength.
Provoked by Usopp, Zoro actually started playing around with them.
Lin Hai, sitting on the side of the deck, didn't pay attention. Instead, he studied his Space ability, otherwise, if he used Space Slash again and fainted for three days, wouldn't that be utterly embarrassing?
So now the problem is, Lin Hai's physical strength has reached the level of Cipher Pol 9's leader Lucci, and it's not that easy to improve further now!
So what should be improved now are Haki and Devil Fruit abilities.
Devil Fruit abilities...
Lin Hai ate the Paramecia Space Fruit, how should he develop it?
Like Doflamingo, influencing surrounding objects, assimilating objects, and using them for himself?
This clearly won't work. Doflamingo's is string, and Lin Hai's is space!
Like Katakuri, who ate the Mochi-Mochi Fruit, developing a Paramecia into a Logia?
This is indeed a direction for development, integrating oneself into space. However, Lin Hai hasn't reached that level yet; that should be the Awakening state.
Damn, no clue!
Difficult things in the world must start from the easy. Let's start with the most basic first...
Currently, Lin Hai can create a Space Field, and within the Space Field, he can freely control the people and objects inside.
This ability relies on strangeness and mental acuity.
Because within the Space Field, even if the opponent has Observation Haki, under unknown circumstances, if Lin Hai performs a space swap and attacks with a sword, the opponent is very likely to be hit directly!
So this relies on a person's speed and mental acuity. At the same time, this application can also be used to dodge the opponent's attacks!
Space swapping is also a direction for development.
Another is the cutting ability within the Space Field.
Although Lin Hai's cutting ability is greatly enhanced within the Space Field, it is not invincible.
For example, if Kaido and Big Mom stood there for Lin Hai to slash at, Lin Hai still couldn't cut them. Just like when Luffy, Law, and Kid challenged Kaido, Law clearly stated his cutting ability couldn't cut those two Four Emperors.
By the same logic, Lin Hai doesn't think he is stronger now than Law was then!
Since that's the case, then let's first practice swordsmanship and space transformation within the Space Field...
Especially last time when dodging Arlong's Water Shot, because his mental acuity wasn't enough, he was hit twice.
If such a mistake occurs during a confrontation with a master, then subsequent actions will be completely disrupted, falling into the opponent's rhythm, and the result will be getting beaten.
If the opponent's attack is very strong, then it's over! Like Marine Admiral Kizaru's laser, or Marine Admiral Akainu's fist!
Thinking of this, Lin Hai became a little uneasy!
Seeing Luffy and the others playing around on the side, Lin Hai interrupted, "Stop playing, Luffy, how about we practice?"
Luffy is someone who pursues new things. As soon as he heard Lin Hai wanted to practice with him, he immediately became interested, and the others also really wanted to witness Lin Hai's abilities.
Everyone made some space, leaving the central area for Lin Hai and Luffy.
Lin Hai said, "Luffy, use your Gatling attack on me, but be careful not to damage the ship."
Luffy rubbed his fingers and smiled, "You have to be careful, okay? Here goes, Gatling!"
Lin Hai glanced at Luffy playfully, and calmly dodged Luffy's fists one by one..."
Sanji on the side couldn't help but mutter, "Is this what Lin Hai meant by Observation Haki?"
Zoro remained silent, but his expression became exceptionally serious.
Usopp opened his mouth, "Amazing..."
Nami looked at Luffy and Lin Hai, "I really don't know what kind of monsters they are!!Chapter 45 Second Gear
"Olala..." Luffy kept attacking, realizing he couldn't hit Lin Hai at all, and immediately said angrily, "I'm not fighting anymore, Lin Hai, you're cheating!"
Lin Hai still had his arms crossed over his chest and said playfully, "Keep fighting."
Luffy pouted, "You're cheating by using Observation Haki."
Lin Hai smiled, "Alright then, I won't dodge, is that okay?"
"Really?" Luffy's eyes immediately lit up.
Lin Hai asked in confusion, "What's with that expression? Does hitting me make you that happy?"
Luffy looked towards the horizon and replied, "Where did I say that?"
Hey, hey, isn't that too fake?
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Go ahead, I won't move."
Countless dense fists from Luffy kept landing on Lin Hai, drawing gasps from the side.
Sanji quickly asked, "Hey, hey, is he really okay like this?"
Zoro said uncertainly, "He should be fine, otherwise Lin Hai wouldn't have told Luffy to hit him like that..."
Usopp was sweating cold, he couldn't imagine being hit by Luffy like that!
After hitting for a while, Luffy stopped his fists.
In the arena, Lin Hai yawned, completely unharmed, and then said in a very annoying tone, "Ah, that hurt so much."
Luffy immediately felt offended. In an instant, Luffy said exasperatedly, "Lin Hai, you bastard, I'm going to duel you!"
Usopp quickly hugged Luffy's waist and said, "You can't beat him, calm down, you have to stay calm..."
Luffy refused, "So what? Even if I can't beat him, I'll still fight!"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Everyone watch carefully, I'll show you what speed is, Shave!"
Immediately, there were afterimages of Lin Hai all over the deck. Nami on the side suddenly felt as if someone had kissed her cheek...
Usopp asked in confusion, "Huh? Where did Lin Hai go? He was just here?"
Zoro explained, "Lin Hai's speed is too fast, the naked eye can't keep up with his figure anymore."
Sanji kept looking around, unable to keep up with Lin Hai's speed. Sanji couldn't help but mutter, "Lin Hai, this guy, his speed is too fast, right?"
After running around the deck, Lin Hai lay back down on the deck and said very proudly, "I'll let you see this move first. As for whether you can learn it, that depends on your destiny. I'll state beforehand, I won't teach you!"
Seeing Lin Hai being so arrogant, Sanji said unhappily, "Lin Hai, you guy, what's so great about being fast? One day I'll learn this move too!"
At this moment, Luffy stepped forward and said, "Lin Hai, you were moving just now by rapidly stomping your feet on the ground, right?"
Usopp said thoughtfully, "Lin Hai's footwork just now, I feel like I've seen it somewhere!"
Luffy replied, "Crow's Silent Step is very similar to this, but his speed is not as fast as Lin Hai's!"
Usopp then remembered, "No wonder I felt it was so familiar."
Zoro couldn't help but say, "Are the opponents we'll encounter in the future all this strong?"
Usopp exclaimed, "This is too terrifying, right?"
Lin Hai said amusedly, "Don't you want to improve? Don't you think it's very romantic to learn these things? It's full of accomplishment, hehe..."
"Romantic? Accomplishment?" Luffy laughed, "It is indeed very romantic. Everyone, I think I've also learned this move!"
"nani!!"
"Really? That's impossible!"
"No way, Luffy, I feel like the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger!"
Luffy on the deck suddenly squatted into a horse stance, one hand on the ground, and then lightly said, "Second Gear!"
Steam rose from Luffy's body, and his skin turned red.
"Whoosh..."
Luffy on the deck suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, Luffy's fist was already colliding with Lin Hai's.
Because of the immense power, a wave of air spread outwards from the two of them as the center...
"Ah..." Nami suddenly exclaimed, startled by the sudden scene.
Zoro and Sanji on the side narrowed their eyes. Whether it was Lin Hai or Luffy, their speed was something they both couldn't quite keep up with. They couldn't help but feel a little anxious internally. The improvement in these two people's strength was truly astonishing...
Usopp exclaimed, "Luffy, you guy, you really learned it! I, I'm so envious, woohoo..."
Luffy deactivated his Second Gear state and said somewhat dejectedly, "Lin Hai, your speed is too fast, right? But I finally learned this move! Hahaha..."
Lin Hai said disdainfully, "I learned it when we were in the village. What's there to be proud of? If you don't know Haki, you'll just be cannon fodder after entering the New World, got it!"
Luffy patted Lin Hai's shoulder carelessly and said, "Hehehe, don't be so serious, relax a bit. I'm going to be the Pirate King!"
Lin Hai kicked Luffy away and said speechlessly, "You bastard, why did you pat so hard? It hurts so much!"
Sanji rolled his eyes and said, "That excuse is too fake, right?"
Zoro said, "We need to train hard too, otherwise we really won't be able to keep up with their pace..."
At this moment, Lin Hai said, "Luffy, you're using the properties of rubber to speed up blood flow. This method easily consumes stamina in battle. In a prolonged fight, it puts a heavy burden on your body.
No, you must learn to use Shave without using Second Gear! Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you!"
Luffy sat up and asked in confusion, "Is that so?"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "You should still strengthen your physical fitness. You should think about how to deliver a fatal blow in Second Gear, got it?"
Sanji couldn't help but reply, "Is the advantage also the disadvantage?"
Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "That depends on the situation. If Luffy's physical fitness isn't up to par and he dares to clash with someone using Second Gear, he can only fight with his life. That would cause too much damage to his body..."
Luffy interrupted, "Everyone, I have an even more interesting move..."
That should be Third Gear. Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Not interested. Let's go fishing first, for dinner tonight..."
Before Lin Hai could finish speaking, Usopp and Luffy immediately took out fishing rods and handed them all to Lin Hai.
Lin Hai asked in confusion, "I only need one. Why are you giving them all to me?"
"Because you're a fishing expert!"
"Get lost..."
The noise eventually returned to silence. Under the blue sky, a lonely small boat floated.
Zoro was sleeping there again, Nami was lying on a chair, and Sanji, who came out of the kitchen, got excited again as soon as he saw Nami.
Sanji placed a drink next to Nami and said, "Dear Miss Nami, try the new drink I made for you."
Nami replied, "Arigato, Sanji."
"You're welcome, Nami-san." Sanji looked towards the side of the ship and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are they fishing?"
Nami said speechlessly, "They're having a fishing competition."
The three people at the railing were fishing and singing, "Little fish, little fish, bite the hook quickly, come into my bucket quickly, lalalalala Demacia..."
At this moment, Luffy said, "This time I'm definitely going to catch more than you..."
"What song is this? Can this catch fish?" Sanji couldn't help but be curious and walked over to see what these three were up to.
Suddenly, Lin Hai said, "Here it comes, here it comes! Who will help me hold the fishing rod!"
Luffy asked in confusion, "You can't even pull up a fish? That's too lame."
Lin Hai was in no mood to pay attention to Luffy. This big fish, the line of the fishing rod couldn't handle it!
Sanji held Lin Hai's fishing rod and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Lin Hai explained, "A big fish is on the hook, I'll go into the Sea and get it..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Hai had already jumped into the Sea...
.........Chapter 46 Dashiqi
On the deck, Zoro was sleeping soundly when suddenly, a large fish fell from the sky!
Zoro, who was dreaming, was startled awake and angry by the impact, only to see it was a large fish!
This large fish was thrown up by Lin Hai after he knocked it out with one punch underwater; it was definitely not intentionally thrown onto Zoro by him, Lin Hai!
A moment later, seeing that Zoro was still angry, Lin Hai had no choice but to throw him a bottle of beer, which finally calmed him down.
A bottle of beer from the sao system cost five Belly, it was really expensive!
Zoro, who was enjoying his drink, suddenly discovered that Lin Hai was actually using his own sword as a skewer to roast fish!
Zoro immediately became agitated and asked in a daze, "Lin Hai, how can you use your sword like that?"
Lin Hai asked in confusion, "Can't I use it like this?"
Zoro said angrily, "Don't you know, you bastard, that a sword is an important companion to a swordsman!"
Lin Hai threw another bottle of beer over, rolling his eyes, "Eat your food. How could a common person like you understand my level!"
Sanji chuckled, "Like what?"
Lin Hai's eyes lit up. He handed the barbecue in his hand to Sanji, then looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, causing everyone's eyes to twitch.
As expected, Lin Hai sighed, "When I fish, I am training my Observation Haki and control of strength. Using a sword to roast fish is because..."
"Because?" everyone asked in confusion.
Actually, Lin Hai had forgotten his lines, so he quickly took out his notebook and immediately said with delight, "Using a sword to roast fish is actually to prove that my sword can move mountains, overturn seas, kill fish, roast food..."
"This guy!!" Everyone covered their foreheads with their hands, completely speechless.
Amidst the group's commotion, they unknowingly arrived at Loguetown. Loguetown is the birthplace of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and also his execution site.
As soon as Luffy heard that this was where Roger was born and died, he immediately rushed off to see the execution platform where Roger was executed.
Lin Hai was utterly speechless about all this. Isn't it just reaching that place called whatever, and then being given the title of Pirate King by the world? Seeing how everyone worshipped him was truly speechless.
Perhaps their worldviews are different. Instead of spending time worshipping Roger, it's better to go find the One Piece left behind by Brother Guan Xi!
At this moment, Zoro said, "Nami, give me some money to buy a sword!"
Nami replied, "Okay, but you'll have to pay me back three times the principal and interest later."
Zoro: "We're so familiar with each other, do we really need interest?"
Nami objected, "Yes, you do!"
Helpless, Zoro had no choice but to borrow two hundred thousand Belly from Nami...
It was Lin Hai's turn. Lin Hai stepped forward and said, "Nami, give me some Belly to buy something to eat."
Nami asked, "You want to borrow too? You still owe me 1 million Belly."
Lin Hai was confused, "What 1 million Belly? Back in Cocoyasi Village, I scoured so much from Arlong and gave it to you, and you're still calculating that with me?"
Nami said as if it were obvious, "That was the villagers' money, how can that count?"
Lin Hai was speechless, "You really are a nasty woman, I don't want it!"
Soon, everyone went off to do their own thing.
Luffy ran off to find the execution platform, Sanji went to buy ingredients, Zoro went to buy a sword, Usopp went to buy weapons, and Lin Hai, Lin Hai went to appreciate the local customs!
Just then, it was quite noisy not far away. It turned out that two thugs had stopped a great beauty.
Isn't that great beauty Tashigi?
As for whether she is Zoro's CP, Lin Hai couldn't care less. Does Tashigi have anything to do with Zoro? At least they don't know each other right now, so why can't he, Lin Hai, pursue her?
At this moment, not far away.
One of the two tall thugs said to Tashigi, "Our boss was arrested and jailed by you, right?"
Tashigi, wearing black glasses and holding a cloth-wrapped sword in her arms, replied, "Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
The other thug replied, "Yeah, we can't swallow this anger like this."
One of them echoed, "We're going to throw your body in front of him..."
Lin Hai knew his chance had come. It was time to show his true skills.
Thus, without waiting for Tashigi to speak, Lin Hai ran directly in front of Tashigi and said affectionately, "O Earth, thank you for granting me this encounter today. O Love, laugh at me who cannot bear this pain..."
"Huh?" Tashigi asked somewhat confused, "Who, who are you?"
Lin Hai kissed the back of Tashigi's hand and replied, "Who am I? I am who I am, a different kind of fireworks, blooming a momentary beauty just for you."
Tashigi's face turned red, and she replied, "I'm sorry, thank you for your liking, but I'm not planning to be in a relationship, I..."
The two thugs nearby immediately became angry. They were here to cause trouble, and they were just ignored like that?
One of them drew his sword and pointed it at Lin Hai, shouting angrily, "Who the hell are you? Don't get in the way."
Lin Hai then turned to look at the two thugs and immediately exclaimed, "Wow wow wow, I must say you're dressed really flashy! Those two braids on your head are so interesting! And also, your belly is so big, my family's pig doesn't seem to weigh as much as you!"
"Pfft, hahahaha..." Tashigi covered her mouth and giggled lightly after hearing Lin Hai's teasing.
"You two bastards, prepare to die." The thug could no longer stand it. Just as he was about to jump up and slash at Lin Hai, Lin Hai simply glared, and the two thugs who had jumped into the air fell straight down as if deflated, fainting.
Tashigi, standing to the side, was a bit confused, "What exactly happened? What's wrong with them?"
Lin Hai shook his head, "How should I know."
Turning around, Lin Hai didn't expect Tashigi to be so clumsy. Her own foot was tripped by the sword she was holding, and she almost fell. Lin Hai took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her waist.
For a moment, on the street, a man was seen holding a woman who was about to fall, and the two were looking at each other.
Coming back to her senses, Tashigi quickly said, "Oh, how embarrassing, quickly help me up."
Watching Tashigi tidy her clothes, Lin Hai couldn't help but say, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Don't you think we were very romantic just now?"
Tashigi said with a serious face, "I'm telling you, you should really find a job. Don't try to be a Casanova like others. Looking at you, you probably don't have any assets, right?"
Assets?
He, Lin Hai, is a Pirate, where would he get assets?
So Lin Hai replied, "Yeah, how did you know?"
If he had known Tashigi's thought process, Lin Hai would never have asked that question!
.........Chapter 47 Bucky and Lin Hai
Tashigi saw Lin Hai ask how she knew he had no assets. Wasn't that simple?
So Tashigi stepped forward and explained, "Looking at your frivolous actions just now, you're clearly the type of person who idles around all day. Judging by the clothes you're wearing, I know you don't have much money.
Do you have an elderly person at home who is ill in bed? Or did your wife run away, and you have to raise several crying children by yourself?
Anyway, I won't ask too many questions. Come with me, and I'll introduce you to a job. As long as you're diligent enough, supporting them will definitely not be a problem."
Damn, could it be that this woman often encounters this situation and puts herself in that category too?
But what kind of question was that?
For a moment, Lin Hai's mind short-circuited from Tashigi's question!
Oh my god, Lin Hai couldn't take it anymore!
Lin Hai, who had reacted, quickly said, "I'm single, I don't need your introduction. Goodbye, no, let's not meet again!"
Lin Hai, who was running away quickly, could still hear Tashigi chasing after him. As she chased, she said, "You don't have to be so shy. It's not embarrassing for young people to make mistakes. As long as you face life bravely, it's not too late for everything. Huh? Where did he go?"
Lin Hai, who was hiding in the alley, quickly took deep breaths. Damn, this woman was too sharp. He quickly wrote down these words so that others could experience the same confusion he was feeling now!
Just as he finished writing his notes, a white-haired, very strong-looking man walked over from the other end of the alley.
Isn't that Smoker?
Smoker heard from his subordinates that the Straw Hat Pirates had landed on this island. The bounty poster had also come from Navy Headquarters, but Smoker hadn't looked at it and had rushed out to catch people.
So he didn't know that Lin Hai was part of the Straw Hat Crew.
At this moment, Smoker saw Lin Hai being so serious, actually writing things down there. It seemed he was a cultured person.
So, Smoker greeted him, "You're really diligent, keep up the good work."
Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you. Uh, can I borrow a cigarette?"
Before Smoker could answer, Lin Hai had already taken three cigars from his collar, placing one behind his left ear, one behind his right ear, and biting one in his mouth.
These cigars were really expensive. Although Smoker felt a pang of pain, he wasn't a stingy person.
At this moment, Lin Hai, who had taken a deep puff of the cigar, said, "Yo, your cigarette is really good, but smoking is harmful to health. You should smoke less, especially smoking two at once!"
Now it was Smoker's turn to be stunned. A cultured person is indeed a cultured person. He didn't know how long it had been since someone cared about him like this. This feeling was quite good!
He considered those three cigars a treat for him now; he no longer felt the pain!
Smoker waved his hand and said, "Enough nonsense, I have something to do. See you."
Lin Hai replied, "Take care..."
Looking at Smoker's departing back, Lin Hai showed a smile. He wondered what expression Smoker would have when he found out he was a Pirate.
Would he chase him to the ends of the earth then?
Damn, that's actually possible!
Thinking of this, Lin Hai instantly shivered and quickly found a place to drink a strong drink to calm his nerves!
Should I use Observation Haki? Otherwise, I might run into more strange people!
Forget it. If I know everything, then what's the point of going to Sea? Is that still an adventure?
Soon, Lin Hai forgot about what had just happened...
......
In an old-fashioned bar, there were a few people sitting at this time. Weren't these the Buggy Pirates who had come to get revenge on Luffy and his crew?
At this moment, Buggy was doing a fortune-telling.
"Che ha ha ha..."
Buggy laughed proudly for a while, then said, "According to the divination, the Straw Hat Crew has landed on this island. The time for magnificent revenge is about to arrive."
Alvida, who had become a great beauty after eating the Slip-Slip Devil Fruit, stepped forward from behind Buggy and asked, "So, can you successfully take his life?"
"Heh heh heh..." Buggy replied, "Of course, the one who is going to die is..."
Saying that, Buggy revealed the last card, and it turned out to be himself!
Alvida: "Oh, isn't that you?"
"Buggy..." Buggy exclaimed, burying his head on the table.
Just then, a wild and unrestrained singing voice sounded, "La la la, Demacia. La la la, Lu ah Lu ah..."
Who else could it be but Lin Hai who walked in?
Seeing Buggy sitting there, Lin Hai couldn't help but be stunned, but he immediately greeted him, "Yo, that Buggy, ah, I mean Buggy, it's been a long time. Seeing you again feels so familiar!"
Buggy replied, "Oh, so it's you. It's really been a long time. Hello."
Moji and Alvida, Buggy's crewmates next to him, looked at Buggy strangely.
Buggy, who had reacted, said angrily, "Hello my ass, you bastard, we've been looking for you so hard. Do you know?
Since the day I was blown away, I returned to my companions solely with the determination for revenge.
That was a great adventure. With my body parts missing, I went through a little Buggy's great adventure filled with joy, sorrow, separation, and friendship.
But little Buggy..."
As he was talking, Buggy realized he seemed to have gone off-topic and immediately said angrily, "What are you making me say, you bastard!!"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Weren't you the one who kept talking? By the way, that cape you're wearing is quite fashionable, isn't it hot?"
Buggy replied, "There's nothing I can do about it. After all, a Colonel from Navy Headquarters has come to this town, and his strength is too great..."
Buggy, who had reacted, said angrily again, "Who are you calling's nose fashionable, you bastard?! For revenge, I have teamed up with this beautiful Miss Alvida beside me. You just stand there obediently and magnificently accept our judgment, ya ha ha ha..."
This Buggy is quite interesting. Lin Hai rolled his eyes and said with a laugh, "That's all old news. As Pirates, we're still dwelling on such a small matter. You're really a petty person."
Buggy said angrily, "What did you say!"
Lin Hai casually picked up a glass and took a sip, then said, "Was it me who blew you away? If you're so unhappy, go find Luffy. Oh, can't you all stop being so serious?
It's rare to meet again. The fate of the Sea is truly wonderful. We are all children of the Sea. Come on, cheers!!"
Buggy couldn't help but mutter, "Children of the Sea? Even so, I won't forgive you..."
Lin Hai put his arm around Buggy's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't dwell on those small matters. Let's have a few drinks first. Later, I'll treat you to a meal as an apology. Is that alright?"
Buggy replied, "Since you're so sensible, if I keep bothering you, I'll really become a petty person. But that bastard Straw Hat, I still haven't forgiven..."
Lin Hai directly interrupted, "Cheers!"
Buggy still didn't know that he was going to be tricked again later!!
.........Chapter 48: Bucky Got Tricked
After drinking a toast with Buggy, Lin Hai noticed Alvida beside him looking at him with dissatisfaction.
Lin Hai smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, shall we have a drink too?"
"Heh heh heh," Alvida said, "You finally noticed me. Where is that Luffy? That punch back then was truly unforgettable."
Thinking of the non-Devil Fruit user Alvida and her weight, Lin Hai secretly rejoiced that he hadn't made a move on her!
At this time, Lin Hai said, "Let's go, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll treat you to a meal."
Buggy laughed, "How can we trouble you?"
Lin Hai replied, "This is a meal to apologize, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Ah ha ha ha," Buggy said, "You're a pretty good guy."
Alvida replied, "I won't go, I'm going to look for that man."
Lin Hai smiled inwardly, "Then I wish you success, hehe..."
In a restaurant
Lin Hai generously ordered a large table of dishes, and also ordered a few bottles of wine.
Lin Hai raised his glass and asked, "Why is it just Mohji with you? What about the guy with the sword?"
Mohji replied, "Ah, you mean Kabaji? He's tracking the Straw Hat."
Buggy laughed, "Don't talk about that, let's drink, ah ha ha ha, today is really a happy day, I didn't expect Lin Hai, you're quite an interesting person."
Lin Hai patted Buggy on the shoulder and smiled, "You're not bad either. By the way, that Alvida is really beautiful. Are you interested in marrying her?"
Buggy pondered for a moment, "Well, what Pirates pursue is wealth, what's the use of a wife?"
Lin Hai said speechlessly, "Why would it be useless? I think you and her are really a good match. Think about it, you're marrying the most beautiful woman in the East Blue, doesn't that show how extraordinary Buggy is even more? And, marrying her doesn't affect your pursuit of wealth, right?"
Buggy pondered for a moment, becoming more and more tempted by what Lin Hai said...
Suddenly, Buggy slapped the table and laughed, "Then it's decided, I'll work harder and make Alvida my wife, ya ha ha ha, today is truly happy."
Just as the few of them had taken a few gulps of wine, Luffy and Zoro also entered the restaurant.
Because Buggy and Mohji were wearing cloaks, Luffy and Zoro didn't know that was Buggy.
As soon as Luffy saw Lin Hai, he was immediately surprised and said, "Yo Lin Hai, you're actually eating such delicious food."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy had already rushed to Lin Hai's table and started wolfing down the food.
Buggy hadn't reacted yet, and said happily, "Lin Hai, are they your companions? Since you know each other, eat freely. Oh, I forgot, you're the host, you should be the one saying this."
Lin Hai smiled and said, "We are free and unrestrained Pirates, there's no need to be so formal."
After speaking, Lin Hai quickly leaned close to Zoro's ear and whispered, "Eat quickly, don't ask."
As he was eating, Buggy suddenly realized, wasn't this Straw Hat Bastard right in front of him?
Buggy took off his cloak and pointed at Luffy, saying, "Straw Hat Bastard, I finally found you!"
Luffy looked up in confusion and said, "Who are you?"
Seeing Luffy still eating, Buggy immediately got angry and said, "Stop eating! You haven't forgotten who I am, have you?"
Luffy ate as he exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, your nose is so red and round."
"Damn Straw Hat Bastard, still so rude," Buggy revealed his dagger.
Just as Buggy was about to continue speaking, Lin Hai interrupted, "Buggy, Luffy is my Captain, I can't let you hurt him. And you are my friend, I don't want to hurt you either, so I'm taking Luffy and them away."
Buggy was stunned, and then exclaimed, "Lin Hai, Lin Hai, you are truly a loyal and righteous guy, it is my honor to be your friend, woo woo woo..."
Mohji on the side quickly reminded Buggy, "Captain Buggy, they've already run away."
Only then did Buggy react, "Chase them quickly! No matter what, we can't let that Straw Hat Bastard get away."
"Yes, Captain Buggy."
Just as the two were about to get up, they were stopped by the restaurant owner, "Gentlemen, you haven't paid the bill yet!"
Buggy and Mohji exchanged glances. Didn't Lin Hai say he was treating? Now it seems they're paying themselves? And that Straw Hat Bastard ate the most just now, right?
Hmm, Lin Hai and that Zoro also took the wine when they ran off, and even worse, that Straw Hat Bastard directly dragged away more than half of the food on the table in one go!!
...
Lin Hai, Luffy, and Zoro came out of the restaurant. When they reached a safe place, Luffy complained, "I'm still not full..."
Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew, blowing away the Straw Hat on Luffy's head. Luffy quickly chased after the Straw Hat, while Zoro chased after Luffy.
This gust of wind was too strange. Lin Hai quickly released his Observation Haki. As expected, there was a powerful presence not far away...
Following that presence, he saw a figure wearing a green cloak standing there. Lin Hai quickly understood that it was Luffy's father, Dragon.
Seeing that he didn't intend to avoid him, Lin Hai stepped forward and asked, "That gust of wind just now was your doing, right?"
Dragon turned and nodded, "Yes, hello, Luffy's friend."
"Hello," Lin Hai asked in confusion, "Where are you leading him?"
Dragon replied, "Luffy wants to become the Pirate King, so let him go and see the place where Pirate King Roger was executed. This is where everything began, and that is where it ended for him. Letting him experience it may not be a bad thing."
"This is where everything began?" Lin Hai shook his head, "That shouldn't be right, should it? The place where everything began should be when the Celestial Dragons started calling themselves God.
Ever since the Celestial Dragons took power, everything has deviated from the starting point. Freedom and human lives are no longer precious, chaos continues to unfold, and ambitious individuals have begun to seek answers..."
Dragon stared at Lin Hai with great surprise, trying to discern something from him.
After a while, Dragon asked, "You know quite a lot."
Lin Hai shook his head, "It's all hearsay. By the way, your Observation Haki is really amazing, and your ability, is it a Logia type, the Hurricane Devil Fruit?"
Dragon didn't answer Lin Hai's question, but instead said, "What do you think of this world?"
"Me?" Lin Hai said speechlessly, "What can I think? Just do what I want to do."
"Oh?" Dragon asked curiously, "Can you tell me what you want to do the most?"
"Cough cough," Lin Hai said awkwardly, "Go out to Sea with Luffy, have adventures, pick up girls, and have a few drinks!"
"Hahaha..." Dragon shook his head and laughed, "Your aspirations shouldn't be like this!"
Lin Hai quickly interrupted, "Please don't try to persuade me. I don't want to be a hero, because I don't have that good temper. This is predetermined!"
"Is that so?" Dragon secretly regretted, "Then I wish you a pleasant journey..."
Dragon moved like the wind, his feet not moving, just constantly changing positions. This strange footwork was truly cool, I must learn it, it's simply a tool for showing off!!
.........Chapter 49 Life is full of surprises
Watching Dragon head towards the Pirate King's execution platform, it seems he's going to test Luffy, letting him experience the true resolve of staking his life...
Lin Hai thought for a moment, it's better if he doesn't go yet. If Luffy discovers him, will he still face life and death head-on? With Lin Hai's ability, Luffy wouldn't believe Lin Hai couldn't save him!
So, let's watch from the shadows, and see that free and easy smile!
At the plaza,
At this moment, Luffy was held on the execution platform by Kabaji using a frame, and then Buggy held a knife, preparing to execute Luffy.
The air pressure in the sky was getting higher and higher; it seemed to be controlled by that guy Dragon. His control over his ability is truly astonishing! Coupled with Dragon's extraordinary Observation Haki, if the World Government could catch him, that would be supernatural!
On the execution platform, Buggy held his curved sword and laughed loudly: "Monkey D. Luffy, you truly have great audacity, daring to offend me, Buggy! Do you know what I, with missing body parts since being sent flying by you, have gone through! Sob sob sob..."
As he spoke, Buggy couldn't help but cry when he thought of his past experiences.
And Luffy anxiously said: "Quickly let me go, I beg you, aren't you good friends with Lin Hai?"
Buggy, who had snapped back to reality, laughed loudly: "How could I let you go, you idiot! Although Lin Hai is my friend... Oh, speaking of Lin Hai, he's much more sensible than you. This is the first time I, Buggy, have met someone who invited me to eat since I've been a Pirate for so long. It's truly heartwarming..."
As he spoke, Buggy realized he had gone off-topic again. Snapping back to reality, he immediately said angrily: "Is this the time to talk about that?! Monkey D. Luffy, do you have any final words before you die? Yahahaha..."
Luffy also realized that he seemed to be beyond saving, and immediately shouted loudly: "I am the man who will become the Pirate King!"
The man who will become the Pirate King, the man...
The plaza instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Luffy, who was about to be executed, in horror. Only Luffy's voice echoed.
Just then, Zoro and Sanji, who had just arrived, ran to save Luffy, but with their non-ability user level, they clearly couldn't save Luffy.
Luffy also understood the current situation.
At the critical moment, seeing Buggy about to bring the knife down, Luffy calmly looked up and revealed a smile that made a hundred flowers bloom:
"Sorry everyone, I'm going to die."
This scene shocked the people watching below the execution platform. Facing life and death calmly?
Smoker, who was in the shadows, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He felt that this smile was too unusual. When a person faces death, shouldn't they show expressions of despair or fear?
Unlike Luffy, who actually dared to say he would become the Pirate King at the place where Pirate King Roger was executed! Knowing that death was coming, he could still wear a smile. It was as if he was unstoppable, as if he was going to become the Pirate King...
Smoker looked at the execution platform in surprise. Regardless of the Straw Hat Luffy's outcome, at this moment, that guy Straw Hat already had the qualifications to become the Pirate King!
Just then, as Buggy's knife was about to touch Luffy, a Lightning bolt that lit up the sky struck down from above the execution platform, knocking the execution platform down.
The result was obvious, Luffy survived.
"Ahahaha... I really didn't die, I profited." Luffy picked up his hat and put it on, smiling contentedly, completely showing no sign of having just walked through the gates of hell!
Zoro and Sanji on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene just now startled Sanji so much that he didn't even notice his cigarette falling from his mouth. Finally, he asked Zoro foolishly, "Do you believe there is a God in this world?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Zoro said, then turned to Luffy and complained, "Luffy, you took that a bit too far."
Luffy smiled: "Ah? Sorry, sorry."
At this opportune moment, Lin Hai walked over to Luffy's side. Thinking back to the scene just now, if it were himself, would Lin Hai also remain calm?
Lin Hai asked himself honestly, yes!
Seeing that the plaza had become very chaotic, Lin Hai said, "Let's set sail quickly."
"Okay..."
However, halfway there, trouble appeared again.
A cool motorcycle was parked in the middle of the street, and Smoker and Tashigi were standing in front of the motorcycle.
Lin Hai secretly spat, these two are troublesome people!
After Lin Hai and the others were stopped, Smoker said, "Your journey ends here, having met me."
Luffy replied, "No, I still want to go out to Sea and become the Pirate King."
Smoker sneered, "With your strength, you can't even defeat me. Your so-called dream ends here."
At this moment, Lin Hai suddenly had an idea, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Lin Hai stepped forward...
"Chehaha... Che Hahaha... Chehahahaha..." That's right, Lin Hai was imitating Blackbeard Teach.
Everyone was attracted by Lin Hai's laugh, which went from low to high, then became full of boldness.
Lin Hai spread his hands and said, "Smoker, a person's dream will never end, won't it?"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing a flamboyant operation. Reward the host with a Rank increase in Armament Haki. Please continue to strive..."
Here it comes, Haki improvement is the hardest, I didn't expect this reward. Lin Hai immediately felt his back wasn't sore and his legs weren't hurting!
At this time, after hearing Lin Hai's words, Smoker's pupils contracted. How did he feel that this guy was also not simple? Moreover, this guy had just deceived his feelings and scammed him, Smoker, out of three cigars!
Even an aunt can tolerate it, but an uncle cannot!
Smoker was about to speak when Tashigi had already stepped forward with Lin Hai's bounty poster and said, "Damn Lin Hai, you dared to deceive me before, I didn't expect you to be such a heinous person!"
With that, Tashigi displayed Lin Hai's bounty poster.
Now it was Lin Hai's turn for his pupils to contract. Wasn't it 250 Belly?
How did it become a 300 million Belly bounty?
"nani?!" Luffy exclaimed, looking at Lin Hai in disbelief.
Zoro also looked at Lin Hai, the change in bounty was too big, wasn't it?
Sanji jealously grabbed Lin Hai's collar and exclaimed, "What kind of outrageous thing did you do, you bastard?! How did your bounty become so high!"
The change in bounty was mainly because the Celestial Dragon that Lin Hai had beaten recognized Lin Hai's face during a stroll!
Originally, that Celestial Dragon—Charloss Saint—wanted to set Lin Hai's bounty even higher, but the offense of hitting a Celestial Dragon was too serious. So, after deliberation by the Five Elders, they set this amount. As for the reason, it was not made public; the Celestial Dragons value face above all else!
At this time, Zoro said with some jealousy, "Lin Hai, you guy actually..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Hai exclaimed, "Again Hu..."
Then he did twenty backflips, ending up on the wall.
"Ouch, that hurts so much..."
The few people on the street saw Lin Hai's actions and all their faces darkened.
Luffy on the side felt his 30 million bounty suddenly wasn't impressive anymore, and Zoro, with his 10 million Belly, compared to 300 million Belly, how many times was that?
Zoro was feeling a bit depressed!
And Sanji?
He was already squatting in a corner drawing circles!
...Chapter 50: The System's Waist Is Strained
Smoker's face darkened as he said, "Lin Hai, I originally thought you were a scholar, but I didn't expect you to be a heinous Pirate with a 300 million Belly bounty. Even if it costs me my life today, I will stop you here."
Tashigi also drew her sword, pointing at Luffy and his crew, and said, "I will also bet on the Navy's name to stop you here."
Crap, I got a bit carried away just now.
Lin Hai quickly tidied his hairstyle, then put on a look of compassion and stepped forward, saying, "How can you treat me like this? Do you know why I have such a high bounty?"
"Why?" x5
Lin Hai looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, shed a sincere tear, and slowly said, "Last year, it was an autumn evening, the weather was calm and sunny, the sun was bright, and a gentle breeze blew from time to time, just like a mother's gentle embrace, truly nostalgic..."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing a sao system operation, rewarding the host with a one-level increase in physique..."
Smoker's face darkened, and he said angrily, "Get to the point!!"
"Ahem, I was just setting the mood." Lin Hai awkwardly waved his hand and continued, "That evening, I was helping a retired Navy with difficulty walking cross the road. You wouldn't know, he has a bedridden mother at home, his wife ran away, and he has several crying children to feed, he..."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing a three-hit sao system operation, physique increased by one level..."
Tashigi on the side felt this sentence was so familiar, while Luffy and Sanji were already crying, saying sadly, "He's so pitiful, sob sob sob..."
And Smoker drew out his cross-shaped weapon, pointing at Lin Hai, and said, "You bastard, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Ahem..." Lin Hai quickly explained, "When I was helping him cross the road, I unexpectedly ran into some passing Celestial Dragons. Seeing that we didn't kneel to greet them, that snot-nosed Celestial Dragon actually drew a gun on the spot to kill us.
Even ants cling to life, let alone us? I wouldn't just sit and wait for death, of course, so I slapped him. Who knew that guy was so weak, he passed out. So he set such a high bounty for me.
Smoker, I ask you, what crime did I commit? I was just inexplicably defined as a criminal. Why should a young person full of justice like me endure pain that this age shouldn't bear?
If helping a retired Navy with difficulty walking cross the road, and preventing him from being harmed, is also a crime, then just arrest me, I won't resist!"
"Ding, the host's operation has strained the sao system's back. Congratulations to the host for obtaining advanced application of Space Slash, no longer on cooldown..."
Wuhu, taking off...
"Sob sob sob..." At this moment, after hearing Lin Hai's moving speech, Tashigi stepped forward and said to Smoker, "He, he's so pitiful, sob sob sob..."
Zoro remained silent on the side, while Sanji and Luffy wiped tears and snot all over Lin Hai.
"Sob sob sob... I didn't expect you, Lin Hai, to have such a past, it's too touching..."
"Sob sob sob... Lin Hai, so you were such a great person, you guy, you guy... Waaah waaah..."
Looking at Luffy and Sanji, at this moment, Lin Hai really wanted to kick each of them. Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Hai directly pushed away Luffy and Sanji, shouting angrily, "You're disgusting! That's enough, you two bastards!"
And Smoker, after being silent for a while, finally said, "What you said still needs discussion. You go to the Navy Base with me first. If things are really as you said..."
Crap, this guy Smoker must be stubborn as an ox, right?
Lin Hai didn't want to waste any more words on him. He had said all that, and he still didn't believe him.
He had gone through so much trouble to make up this story, was it easy for Lin Hai?
"Space Field, Armament Haki Hardening..."
Lin Hai instantly appeared beside Smoker, grabbed Tashigi and Smoker, and threw them directly towards Smoker's office.
Everything happened too fast, like a tornado.
While Luffy and Sanji were still crying emotionally, Zoro asked in confusion, "Huh? Where did those two Navy go?"
Lin Hai exhaled two streams of air from his nostrils, then replied, "I threw them away. Are you guys still setting sail? What are you crying about? Hurry up and run! If that annoying Smoker catches up, none of us will be able to leave..."
......
In Smoker's office, Tashigi landed safely, while Smoker's head was stuck in the nearby wardrobe.
At this moment, Tashigi was dumbfounded. Where was this? What exactly happened?
After a long while, Smoker finally pulled his head out. After lighting another cigarette, Smoker said with a gloomy face, "Tashigi, are you coming with me to the Grand Line? This damned Straw Hat Crew actually dared to make a fool of the Navy, their crime is unforgivable..."
Tashigi weakly said, "What if what he said is true?"
Smoker said angrily, "Even if it's true, based on his actions just now, I still have to teach him a lesson!"
"Wait." Tashigi quickly grabbed Smoker and reminded him, "How did we get back here just now? If we meet them again, it seems we are no match for them at all."
Smoker said angrily, "Tashigi, just because we can't defeat our opponents, should we shrink back and not dare to pursue them? Then what kind of Navy are we!"
Tashigi quickly stood straight and replied, "I'll go with you to the Grand Line and arrest the Straw Hat Crew..."
......
Dragon, observing the Luffy Crew in the shadows, originally thought they wouldn't be able to deal with Smoker, who possessed a Natural-type Devil Fruit, and wanted to give them a hand. As a result, he was almost confused by Lin Hai's actions.
Dragon, standing on the rooftop facing the wind, suddenly blushed. If what Lin Hai said just now was a lie, wouldn't the anger he had stirred up in himself become a joke?
Finally, Dragon shook his head and chuckled, muttering softly, "Go, children, if this is what you pursue, then continue to gallop across the Sea...
People's dreams will never end? That's interesting, but seeing this situation, I'll give you a hand too..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew through several streets in Loguetown...
