421 I Eat Myself (2-in-1)
Rose snuck aboard the ship of the two powerful pirates, and she had thought about all the possible consequences, but she never imagined that this would be the situation in front of her.
A circular hole suddenly appeared in the floor of the cabin, and half of the girl's head appeared, and Rose poked out her eyes and quietly observed.
Outside there was the sound of the waves, but inside the cabin was eerily quiet.
There was no one in the air.
What about the pair of male and female pirates?
The head that poked out of the hollow floor turned, and suddenly a huge phone bug came into view, so frightened that Rose almost screamed in surprise, and hurriedly covered her mouth.
"It's a phone bug......"
She made up her mind, and it turned out to be a green phone bug that crawled in front of her face for so long that she thought it was some kind of monster.
"Boo-boo-lulu......" The phone bug called a few times, and Rose hurriedly raised her finger and "shhh
She walked through the round hole and left the bottom compartment, climbed up, picked up the green phone bug, and moved cautiously around the cabin as she touched it.
Rose did not go through the main entrance, but opened a hole with the pipe fruit, first leaned over to observe the situation, and then passed through the wall.
It wasn't a big pirate ship, and Rose was quick to walk back and forth, inside and out.
It's really empty, and there is no one.
"It's so strange," the girl's face turned a little pale, frightened by this strange thing, "what about the two pirates......"
She suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky, the pirate named Giorno could fly...... However, when he flew into the sky, it seemed that he would step on the air "pop" and "pop", but there was no figure in the sky above him, and he couldn't hear any abnormal sounds......
Just as she looked up at the sky, there was a "crunch" in the cabin, which shocked Rose, and she looked back to see that it was the rudder turning.
"It's the rudder...... she breathed a sigh of relief, but cold sweat suddenly surfaced on her lowered head and face, and her pupils instantly lost color, "Why is the rudder moving by itself......"
Summoning up her courage again, she entered the cabin, and with the green phone bug in her arms, she approached the lone rudder step by step.
"Crunch......" The rudder turned around on its own again.
Rose shuddered and froze in place for a long time, her heart pounding, and she closed her eyes and stroked twice into the air around the rudder—nothing touched.
“……”
Confirming that it wasn't transparent at the helm didn't make Rose's nervousness much better.
She could clearly see that there was a record pointer on the ring table in front of the rudder!
And the course of this ship is also clearly along the point of this record pointer...... That is, the empty ship is not drifting on the sea without a purpose, but sailing with purpose!
Could it be that the true faces of those two pirates are actually ghosts?!
When they return to their ship, they will revert to their original colors and turn into ghosts to control the ship?
Rose, who hadn't seen Lynch pull out the ship from Little Green's body before, sat down against the wooden wall in a dejected state.
She held the green phone bug in her arms, pinched its cute face, and said with a wry smile: "Your two masters, they abandoned this ship, and they also abandoned you......"
"Boolu?" Midori tilted her head in the palm of her hand in confusion, looked at the human woman, and then at the pitch-black armor that was sailing at the helm next to her.
Is there something wrong with this human woman's eyes?
There's someone in the boat! Why not?
Seems a bit silly......
"I'm so hungry." After being frightened, Rose was a little tired, took out a little dry food and nibbled on two bites, looked at the boundless ocean outside, and lowered her head and silently nibbled twice. Noticing that the green phone bug on his lap was staring straight at him, Rose broke a little cake and handed it to his mouth, "Do you want to eat it?" ”
Midori opened her mouth and swallowed the cake.
Rose muttered to herself, "I don't have much food with me, what should I do now...... Where the hell is this ship going......"
She took a permanent pointer from her bosom and stared at the name of the country engraved on the wooden frame.
"Sikayal".
A pair of narrow eyes glowed with white light, staring closely at the permanent hand in the girl's hand.
Rose didn't react to this, but Midori was startled by the approaching visor.
The visor wrapped in the energy of the pitch-black stand-in floated silently in front of the girl, and the '. The rest of the B remained in place, still holding the rudder and holding the course......
………………
The tip of the pen travels over the paper, outlining the trajectory of the course.
On the hand-drawn map, Robin drew two thick lines crisscrossing, one solid representing the Red Earth Continent and one hollow representing the Great Shipping Route.
Two thick crosses divide the four seas of southeast, northwest and northwest. Robin starts in the West Sea, passes Lasgap Island into Upside Down Mountain, pauses at the Twin Capes, and then lines down the Great Voyage.
Organ Island, Lulucia Kingdom, Peachy Island, Boeing Islands, Sea Flower Ships...... Nine Snake Island, Ice Cream Kingdom, Ba Tesli La Island...... Bruchoa Kingdom, Peachy Island, Forchat, Resort Island......
The trajectory of the journey finally departs from Magnetic Drum Island, heading towards the depths of the great route.
"What are you doing with this...... Lynch's voice suddenly appeared above Robin's head, "Crunch, crunch......"
"I'm wondering how far we are from the Chambord Islands." Robin put down his pen, leaned back on the couch, and took a sip of his hot black tea. The pen on the coffee table was pressed with two notes, one new and one old, which the Redhead and Kulokas had written for Lynch to bring to Rayleigh, the Hades of Chambord. "We can't wait until Shanks' note is getting old, and we haven't arrived in the Chambord Islands yet, can we?"
She said teasingly, and Lynch laughed as well.
It's just that he laughed stranger than usual, mixed with "crunch" and "crunch" noises.
Robin looked up, and sure enough, he was eating again.
Ever since using the Swallow Fruit, Lynch seems to have the urge to eat everything first and taste the taste...... Robin took a closer look, and what Lynch threw into his mouth and chewed turned out to be an iron rod.
It's Lynch's own weapon......
Robin was ashamed to see that Lynch was like eating a chocolate stick, chewing the iron rod that used to be able to fight with the black knife of the great swordsman Hawkeye, and finally put it all into his mouth and swallowed it.
"But we don't have much food," Lynch said casually with a strange rumbling sound in his belly, "We'll definitely have to resupply a few times along the way...... I'll do a magic trick for you, and see, swallow the sword. ”
As he spoke, he raised his head, reached into his mouth, and pulled out an iron rod from his throat.
Robin shook his head helplessly.
Compared to before it was chewed and swallowed by Lynch, the iron rod had shrunk significantly, and the luster of the metal had almost completely disappeared, becoming unpretentious.
Lynch pulled it out and held it in his hand, the iron rod seemed heavier than it had been before it had been tempered and reassembled with the swallowing fruit.
With a flick of his hand, a strong wind was whistling on the castle walls.
"Poolu!"
The walls of the castle swelled with white fluid, condensing in the form of a telephone bug, and it called out twice to Lynch in dissatisfaction.
Seeing it, Robin took a sip of black tea and said, "Really leave her alone?" ”
"She didn't call for help, why bother with her." Lynch put the iron rod aside, sat back on the sofa with a big grin, his long legs crossed on the coffee table, and his long arms around Robin, "Am I so kind?" ”
Robin smiled and said, "I didn't call you for help before." ”
"I'll do another magic trick for you!"
Lynch shifted the subject without a trace.
Robin drank black tea with a smile and didn't ask him to make fun of him, and quietly watched him perform.
Lynch snapped his fingers and said seriously: "This magic trick is called-'I eat myself', haven't you seen it?" ”
As he spoke, he opened his mouth widely, and the size of his jaw became even more exaggerated, and he swallowed his entire head from the bottom up, then his neck, and then his upper body......
Lynch, who was sitting on the sofa, was devoured by one of his mouths, and in the end, there was only a wriggling mouth left on the sofa.
Robin held the black tea, looking stunned.
But soon, the mouth on the couch opened, and with a bang, a figure spat out of it, and Lynch's whole person reappeared—but his appearance had changed dramatically.
His limbs became thicker...... Well, Robin quickly looked up and down and judged that his height had shrunk, from more than two meters four to about one meter nine, which was only half a head taller than she was now.
The vertical direction became shorter, so the horizontal expansion was expanded, and Lynch's skeleton seemed to be reshaped, and the density and distribution of muscles were adjusted......
And what has changed even more is Lynch's face.
There are subtle differences in the bones and muscles of the face, and even the concentration and shape of the eyebrows, and many features of the appearance......
"How's it going?" Lynch asked, rubbing his face.
"It's really amazing...... Robin looked at it for a long time, took a sip of black tea, and commented calmly, "but it's not as good as before." ”
"Really?" Lynch found a mirror and looked at it, "I feel okay......"
He opened his mouth, his teeth clattering, and smiled at Robin, "Would you like to give you a picture too?" ”
"Don't." Robin flatly refused, holding black tea in one hand and leaning on the sofa in the other, tilting his head and asking, "I guess you don't just want to change your look, right?" ”
Lynch touched his chin, "I'm wondering, can I change my appearance back without swallowing the fruit?" Since Life Return can control hair, there is no reason why you can't control flesh, skin, and bones......"
………………
The JOJO pirate ship sailed along the magnetic route of the Great Voyage, and after leaving the stable climate around the island, the sea began to reveal its true form.
Suddenly, there were huge waves, lightning and thunder......
The little sailboat tossed between the waves, and a bolt of lightning swept by, illuminating the colorless maiden Rose in the cabin.
The green phone bug almost flipped out of the cabin and fell into the sea, and Rose was startled and pounced on the phone bug and grabbed it.
Midori was very calm, ". . B' is also calmly at the helm.
……
After the lightning and thunder, there was a sudden strong wind and heavy snowfall.
Rose hid in the cabin, shivering from the cold, even if she wore the cotton clothes she had brought from Winter Island.
Xiao Lu, who was hugged by her, thought about it, and let the castle's body surface turn out pieces of fan-like devices, which were actually miniature heaters.
The heat of the heater, after leaving the range of the castle's body surface, is magnified in a biu, enough to scatter the girl's whole body.
"It's so warm...... the girl hugged the phone bug, and the voice of satisfaction came along the hot wind.
At one of the entrances to the castle, Robin was holding a warm sleeping bag that he was about to throw out, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw the rows of heaters made by Midori.
Lynch nibbled on the fruit and walked aside, "This kid is good at operating." ”
He opened his mouth and swallowed the whole fruit into his mouth.
Robin reminded: "Lynch, the nose is a little crooked......"
"Really? Wait a minute...... What now? ”
"Well, it's restored."
……
Lightning and thunder, goose feathers, heavy snow, storms......
The climate of the Great Voyage was so chaotic that no one could have predicted it in advance, and the local climate formed by the countless magnetic forces on the sea was completely random.
"It's the last bit of food." Rose broke the last bit of bread in her hand and gave it to Midori.
Midori swallowed the rest of her hand whole.
"Ahh Rose exclaimed, wanting to cry without tears, "Why are you like this, I'm so hungry......"
Miserably eating the little bread that had been given to the phone bug, the girl sighed and glanced at the record pointer in front of the rudder, the ship...... It's still sailing in the direction of the pointer.
Something is steering this ship...... Rose crossed this conjecture in her mind, and looked at the sea, which was still calm for the time being, and was stunned.
At the castle portal on the surface of the little green body, Lynch and Robin sat here, holding a cup of flower milk tea and black tea respectively, and took a sip in unison, observing the girl outside who had been supporting herself on the empty boat for two or three days.
"No matter how stupid you are, you should have guessed what the ship was steering its course." Lynch had returned to his original form and licked the milk on his lips.
"Yes...... Robin muttered to herself, taking a sip of black tea, "but she didn't shout into the air, she didn't try to call us ......"
Lynch touched his chin and pondered, "Should she be bent on finding death, right?" ”
"......" Robin was stunned, and before he could think about it, he heard Rose's voice outside the castle: "Ah, that's ...... Pirate ships? ”
In the past few days, she has been living with a phone bug on this ship, and Rose is also used to talking to a phone bug, she holds the phone bug and looks at the distant sea on the side, and sure enough, a three-masted sailing ship far larger than the size of this small ship appears in the field of vision...... And on the huge sail, there is a skull pattern representing the identity of the pirate.
The pirate ship approached here.
At the helm of the '. . . B' looked at the girl on the side of the boat, and it was obvious that she was a little nervous.
However, with the degree of development of her pipe fruit, if she wants to run away, it is still very easy, just open an air pipe and sneak to the other party's boat, quietly mix to the next island and then run away with the help of pipe fruit, it is also very simple.
The pirate ship got closer, and I could already see the skeleton pattern on the canvas......
Not going to hide? 『. B' quietly looked at Rose, who was not retreating from the side of the ship.
Clang, the sound of heavy objects falling. Rose was startled and looked back to see an iron rod rolling on the deck.
She looked up, left and right, "This ......"
Where did this iron rod come from?
Rose picked up the iron rod, so heavy!
She was able to barely lift it up with both hands, and finally she had an idea, and used the pipe fruit to reshape the iron rod into a steel pipe, and after taking it under her control, the iron rod seemed to become much lighter, at least it could be freely wielded as a weapon...... The girl looked back at the pirate ship that was getting closer and closer.
At the entrance of the phone bug castle, Lynch, who threw the iron rod out, said: "Are you really going to deal with those pirates head-on?" ”
Opposite the "Captain's ......", on the deck of the large pirate ship that approached, the pirate sailor held a telescope and aimed at the black flag flying at the top of the small ship.
The captain of the Iron Boots Pirates asked, "Do you see clearly, what kind of ship is it?" ”
"That flag ......" the sailor with the binoculars turned frightened, "Captain, that's ...... JOJO, JOJO Pirates! ”
"JOJO Pirates ?!!"
All the pirates on the deck were so frightened by this name that they almost fell, and the captain "Iron Boots" was even more solemn, and after snatching the binoculars, he confirmed the pirate flag on the small ship, and muttered to himself in a cold sweat: "It's really the JOJO Pirates...... Those two monster pirates! I actually ran into them...... What are you still doing in a daze, turn the rudder! Withdraw, withdraw!! ”
"Yes!!"
The captain turned around and yelled hoarsely, and the crew rolled and crawled to turn course.
The big ship slowly drifted away......
On the small sailing boat, Rose, who was nervously waiting with an iron pipe, looked stunned, obviously not expecting that things would suddenly develop like this.
"......," she looked up at the black flag on the ship, "Is it because of the pirate flag?" I was scared away......"
Suddenly, her hand was light, and the iron rod was "eaten" by the green phone bug.
"Hey!" Rose was startled, but suddenly opened her mouth wide, because she seemed to find that the phone bug did not "eat" the iron rod, but that there was a small hole in its body, and there seemed to be someone standing at the entrance of the hole...... Rose held her breath, she seemed to understand where the two pirates had gone.
………………
Wow!
The sea beast seemed to have been punched by someone, and it jumped directly out of the sea.
In the sea, he put down his fist and turned into a ball of petals, which dissipated with the current......
The sea beast, which had been beaten to death, turned into a huge shadow and fell on the small sailboat, and Loth on the deck looked up blankly, and just when she thought she was going to be crushed to death, the sea beast disappeared with a whizz.
"......," Rose looked at the green phone bug next to her.
The girl sat on the deck with her head folded on her knees, and after a while, the smell of meat wafted in.
She looked up and saw a plate of fragrant sea beast feasts thrown out of the green phone bug's body and handed to her.
When Rose was eating the meat of the sea beast with tears in her eyes, she suddenly bumped into something.
"Whew, it's finally landed." She suddenly heard the voice of the Giorno.
When I looked up, I saw that at the bow of the boat, the Giorno and Xu Lun had appeared, and the two quickly jumped off the boat and went to the shore.
Rose hurriedly swallowed, and saw the distant view of the island in front of her, the distant mountains winding, a strange place.
Suddenly, the scenery in front of me "sank...... No, it's the self-rising.
As soon as Rose looked down, she saw that the whole ship was lifted by Giorno's hand, and he said, "Hey, you can't get off?" ”
Rose hurriedly jumped down with her plate and landed on the shore, and when she turned her head, she saw that Giorno had lifted the whole little sailboat and grinned and shoved it all into the mouth of the green phone bug.
