Chapter 173
Crocodile laughed, unscrupulously.
Anyway, that lunatic still needs his own help, there is no need to worry about him turning his face on the spot.
To be honest, since meeting Lynn Barek in Alabasta, Crocodile feels that he has been frustrated.
While his strength is not weak, this man's brain circuit is not the same as ordinary people. Ordinary tactics have no effect at all for him.
It’s hard to fight, and plot against can’t be done. What can Crocodile do?
Forbearance!
I don’t believe you don’t have a weak spot!
Until now, something finally happened that caused Lynn Barek to deflate, and Crocodile immediately became excited.
There are other good things? !
Of course I have to have a good laugh!
It's just that before the laughter lasted long, a brick suddenly exploded Crocodile's head.
The grit surging, Crocodile slowly recovered his head, but there was still a sullen smile on his face.
Hands, it shows that he is in a hurry!
"He he he he, it's a rarely seen scenery." Crocodile smoked a cigar and said leisurely: "What should we do now, are we going to fight Doflamingo on a raft?"
Boom!
Before speaking, another brick smashed Crocodile's head.
"Of course not."
Lynn turned his head with one hand, while looking at the slowly recovering Crocodile, shook the head with a smile.
"Let me introduce you to a new friend, eight thousand and one."
"en?" Crocodile hearing this was taken aback, then Lynn knocked on his shoulder.
Everyone followed Lynn's fingers and found a miniature Den Den Mushi on his shoulder.
After being knocked a few times, the miniature Den Den Mushi opened his eyes and connected the signal at the same time.
"Hello? Can you hear me?"
Den Den Mushi observed all around.
"Many people, interesting, let me check... Shichibukai [Crocodile] Crocodile, and Fishman Fisher · Tiger, really rarely seen."
The two people named They were all a little surprised, not sure who the people on Den Den Mushi were.
It was Aiden who reacted first, waved his hand and said hello, "Mr. Begapunk, long time no see!"
"Ayden Saidi Ya, it’s really long time no see, it’s about 741 days."
Begapunk said: "Um...According to Den Den Mushi’s test, your Busoshoku Haki seems to have become stronger again. Can I dissect your arm for research?"
Ayden smiled and scratched his head, "No, I only have one arm left."
"Okay, That's a shame." Begapunk said slightly disappointed.
The content of this conversation is extremely weird, but what really makes Crocodile stared wide-eyed is actually the name of the man——
Begapunk.
That is, the world's first scientist.
"Begapunk?" Crocodile looked at Lynn in surprise, "The deity?"
Lynn nodded, "If it is the scientist who is under house arrest in the Marine research room, So yes, it’s me."
"[Crocodile] Crocodile, first meeting." Begapunk greeted: "Can I dissect Logia Ability User? Use a Kairosaki scalpel."
p>Crocodile didn't answer, but frowned and asked: "Why did Marine's top scientists contact you?"
"Fate, there is a deal." Lynn shrugged.
"I provide Mr. Lynn with as much information as I can, and Mr. Lynn is willing to let me study and record his fighting mode." Begapunk added: "Based on the data, this transaction is Both of us have reasons."
"It is outrageous to let the world's first scientist provide you with information..." Crocodile sank and asked, "So, can he solve our problems? "
"What's the problem?" Vegapunk asked.
Lynn will have a question about the ship again.
After listening, Begapunk said: "I have a blueprint for the design of a ship, but none of you are shipbuilders. A group of laymen probably needs to build a ship..."
The voice of calculation came from Den Den Mushi.
"Three years."
Everyone was speechless for a while.
But Begapunk said again: "There is a second plan."
"What?"
"First enter the New World in a small boat. New World re-purchases the ship. I can provide you with the location of the dock where you can buy the ship based on the statistics. There is only one difficulty in this method," Begapunk said: "If you have money, New World ships are not cheap."
hearing this, Tiger and Aiden are shrugged at the same time.
"I don’t have any money, and I don’t have room to spend it. After all, Marine is looking for me in the world."
"I came from swimming, and all the money is in the Sun Pirates group. On the boat, should I go back and get it? It will take about a week."
When I see this, Crocodile still wants to laugh.
Lynn asked Begapunk seriously: "Is 81 million Bailey enough?"
"Not enough." Begapunk replied.
"That's a shame." Lynn sighed.
Crocodile: "……"
……
After some discussions, everyone finally came up with a method that is not a solution——
Selling face, borrow a sum of money from Dragon Palace.
They made up their minds, and everyone immediately started to act.
Among them, Lynn and Aiden are in the front, Tiger is in the middle, and Crocodile is brace oneself following them.
Borrow money to New World? never heard of that!
Tiger also feels embarrassed. After all, he and King Neptune and Queen Otohime are old acquaintances. Borrowing money from acquaintances is always a bit sad, and his character does not like to trouble others.
It was Aiden's excitement: "Wow, I haven't visited Fishman Island, can Fishman eat fish?"
A group of four came to the Dragon Palace.
Lynn and Tiger are both old acquaintances of the Dragon Palace, so after the guards notified them, the four quickly saw King Neptune and his wife Queen Otohime.
After a brief exchange, Neptune happily agreed to Lynn's request. After all, Lynn's two years on Fishman Island have solved many of the stubborn illnesses left by the history of Fishman Street.
Crocodile couldn't help but helplessly said: "What a foolish king, he is willing to lend such a large sum of money to a group of wanted criminals."
"hoho hoho! Money is for us For the Fishman clan, it is far less precious than friends!" Neptune said with a big smile.
Left and right ministers were ordered to collect treasures from the treasury, while Lynn and the others chatted with Neptune and Queen Otohime.
Tiger also recounted the past with Queen Otohime, and Queen Otohime has full hope for the future of Fishman Island and the human world.
Lynn looked at Queen Otohime, who was portraying a bright future, lightly sighed.
If everything goes as usual, Queen Otohime will kill a Fishman named Hodie Jones in the future.
Hodie Jones is a monster of hatred. He has never encountered human persecution, but because of the environment he grew up in, he has a sickly hatred of all humans.
Finally, he began to retaliate against humans indiscriminately, even his own clan.
Lynn met Hodie Jones on Fishman Street.
At this time, Hodie is just a child who hasn't grown up much, but he has also revealed his grievances against humans from his words and deeds.
Lynn tried to get him in touch with the outside world through books. At first, things didn't go smoothly, but Lynn calmed down Hodi in a physical way.
After reading a few books, Hoddy regained his interest in the human world. He began to try to find the answer to a question:
Are human beings good or bad?
Lynn couldn't answer this question, but he was very happy that Hordy had a different idea.
This is enough.
Thoughts start from doubt, and ultimately require a process of development and maturity.
If Queen Otohime hadn't died, what would be the future between Fishman Island and humans?
Lynn wants to take a look.
About an hour later, the guards handed over the organized treasures to Lynn and the others. The total value was about 500 million bergs, which was a fortune even in New World.
The four bid farewell to Neptune and Queen Otohime and came to Fishman Island Pier.
Under the order of Neptune, the guards prepared a small raft. They planned to use Fishman and Coral Bubble to drag the four to the surface before sending them away. This is the fastest and safest way.
When everyone came to the dock, Lynn suddenly asked Crocodile:
"Hey, Yaqianyi, did you say that Pirate of East Blue was either caught, Either they are all up to the Grand Line?"
Crocodile nodded, "Yes, why did you ask this?"
Lynn did not answer, but went straight to a short distance.
There, a group of Pirates were partying in the Fisherman’s Tavern. The beauty and wine of Fishman Island made them very interested.
The happiest of these is the man sitting on the sofa.
At this time, he was holding a mermaid lady, sipping sweet wine.
Lynn walked straight to the main sofa, asked the celebrity lady to leave, and then put his arms around the man's shoulders.
"Yo, Buggy, long time no see."
Buggy was full of alcohol, first he was taken aback, and then said with a big smile: "hahahahaha, it turned out to be Lynn, Loguetown is really long time no see!"
After that, Buggy's movements suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face stiffened there.
Buggy: "..."
Buggy: "..."
Buggy: "..."
Short and long After the silence, Lynn broke the silence first:
"Hey, do you have a boat?"
