〖Western Sea〗
Across the half-circle of the red earth continent that is the Upside Down Mountain, a large snake with long green hair and green scales vibrates its wings and soars among the high white clouds.
On her back, a green phone bug lay quietly, taking a nap with its eyes closed.
"Finally entered the West Sea..." Sanda murmured to himself as he flew in the wind.
In the Telephone Bug Castle, there are only Robin, Tulip, and another "Sanda" with a dull expression. Robin made Sanda's clone of him.
The long flight was very tiring. In order to relieve Sanda's burden, Robin and Tulip both entered the castle inside Little Green's body.
Flying is also very boring, so Robin made a clone of Sanda and placed it on a comfortable castle sofa. With Robin's eyes and ears of flowers in the outside world, he could communicate with Sanda in this way without any barriers.
Robin slowly told Tulip and Sanda the story of the two women both named Lily.
Tulip listened carefully, occasionally asked questions, and nodded.
As for everyone else…
Hancock is recuperating and using her life paper as a navigation tool. Of course she has to stay in Kuja. Besides, Hancock himself has no interest in the Flower Country.
The second sister wanted to send Tulip and Robin to the Kingdom of Flowers, so Marigrudd took the initiative to stay and take care of the eldest sister. Although Hancock repeatedly said that she did not need to take care of her.
As for "B.I.B"...
Robin was frightened by Hancock's sudden whole-body collapse injury, so he did not let "B.I.B" follow him. He asked him to stay with Hancock and pay careful attention.
What if Mary Joa, the immortal person, turns to Robin's Flower Fruit and Sanda's Flying Snake Fruit?
At present, it seems that the other party has no such intention. Maybe it is really dismissive.
The reason why she targeted Hancock was probably because she directly killed the three members of the Celestial Dragon family... and therefore attracted some attention.
And this kind of gaze is only once, because the opponent's attack is a sure-kill blow.
If "B.I.B" hadn't happened to be by my side...
Hancock, who petrified and killed three Celestial Dragons, undoubtedly met a tragic end. With that level of physical collapse, even if he did not die, his vitality would be severely damaged, and he would even become disabled.
After being stopped in time by "B.I.B", the unknown malicious attack never appeared again...
However, just to be on the safe side, Robin made life cards for Sanda, Mary and himself before leaving.
Together with Hancock's life paper, write their names and tear it into many pieces. She, Hancock, Sanda, and Mary all hold pieces of other people's life paper.
In addition, regarding the Celestial Dragons...
The newspapers never published any news about the three petrified Celestial Dragons.
However, there are reports that the Navy used emergency calls to mobilize warships into the windless zone and used the Demon-Slaying Order on Nine Snakes Island... However, there was no follow-up to this piece of news, because later on, the Sea Emperor Kaido attacked Marine Headquarters Marine Fando.
Big news takes up space.
The world has turned its attention to the second half of the great route, and turned to the battle between the old sea emperor and the navy.
However, there has been no definite conclusion among the general public for so many years as to where Kaido's lair is in the New World.
I just know that he must be entrenched in a certain sea area of the New World...
But few people know exactly where it is.
Some people guess that he must be in the second half of the new world where there are no magnetic routes, in the sea beyond Suixian Island, the end point of the magnetic route.
Some people with more experience have speculated that Kaido might be on the Pirate Island "Hive" where the Rocks Pirates were once most prosperous.
Of course, some people think that Kaido might be hiding in Wano, a country with little information and surrounded by natural dangers...
But no one believed it.
That legendary country of samurai! How could Kaido forcefully take over?
Didn't that poke a hole in the samurai's nest?
How could he still be so good and fly around the new world twice when he had nothing to do? Isn't there a truly top-notch dragon-slayer in the mysterious and powerful warrior country?
The legend of Ryoma, the "Dragon-Slaying Swordsman", is a beautiful story spread all over the world!
Dragon slaying can be said to be a traditional art of Wano! At least that’s what many people in the world who read storybooks think. Kaido can’t be hidden anywhere in Wano. Isn’t that looking for chopping?
Robin and the others were naturally not interested in paying attention to the dispute between Kaido and the Navy, but the newspapers did change the focus of the discussion, and the Navy's demon-slaying order against Nine Snakes was not followed up, and the results were not reported.
The influence of the world government on newspapers and public opinion on key issues is greater than imagined...
Robin was silent. It is also possible that he was the birdman Morgans of the World Economic News newspaper. He knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and knew what news should be published in newspapers. Although it would anger the World Government, it would not break his bones.
And some news, it is true that not a word can be published in the newspaper...
…
["Even so, Hancock, you have tried not to show up casually in recent years..."]
[Before Nine Snakes left, Robin and Hancock hugged each other gently, "We can't even report it. What if we attract the attention of the person deep in Mary Joa again..."]
[Sanda and Mary also nodded in admonishment. Hancock's previous appearance where he suddenly burst out with blood, as if he would wither like a blood flower in the next second, really scared them to death. 】
[Hancock rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Okay, I get it."]
["B.I.B" waved to Robin and Tulip who were boarding the flying snake's back, and shouted: "Sweep my grave for me..."]
[Robin nodded and entered the Telephone Bug Castle with Tulip.]
["Then let's go!" The green-scaled snake rose into the sky. 】
…
"Rath Gap Island, is that there?"
The green-scaled snake spread its broad wings and flew not far after crossing the red earth continent. Following the prompts from Princess Robin listened to by her clone in the Telephone Bug Castle, she quickly found an island near the waters of Upside Down Mountain.
"Little village, little village... Found it!"
Sangda carried Xiaolu, circled over Rath Gap Island, and swooped towards the flower field hillside outside the small village indicated by Robin.
Robin and Tulip jumped out of the Telephone Bug Castle. They stood side by side on Sanda's back, and the wind in front of them ruffled their long hair.
Robin picked up the little green and put it in his bag.
The tulips looked down into the wind, looking at the hillside below and the flower fields swaying in the wind.
On the side of the hillside, you can vaguely see a tombstone standing.
In front of the tomb, a woman's figure was clearing the surrounding weeds...
Suddenly, the woman felt something in her heart. She turned back to look at the sky and saw only a huge figure with wings spread. She couldn't see it clearly against the light. She was slightly startled at first, and soon heard a familiar voice:
"Xianglian, it's me."
"Xu Lun?" The woman squinted her eyes and looked at the flying green snake that was slowly landing and the pair of women jumping off her back. One of them had long blond hair and an elegant and calm demeanor, while the other had long black hair.
There was a gloomy color between the eyebrows that could not be removed. As for the green snake with wide wings, it quickly shrank in size after the two women landed, turning into a beautiful girl with long green snake hair who followed behind the two women, her eyes full of novelty.
He carefully looked at the surrounding environment.
The woman cleaning the weeds around Lily's tomb is Lily's sworn sister Xianglian.
When Ayu ascended the throne and things calmed down in the Kingdom of Flowers, she no longer had any worries, so she asked Lin Qi and Robin about the place where Lily was buried, and prepared to spend the rest of her life guarding her sworn sister's grave here alone.
Xianglian took a deep look at the black-haired woman who dropped from the sky, "No, I should call you now, Nicole Robin..."
"Sorry," Robin smiled bitterly, "I concealed my identity from you."
Xianglian shook his head, "Why apologize? Concealing it is right. People in Xihai... understand the meaning behind the name 'Son of the Devil' best."
Tulip goes straight to Lily's grave.
"Who are they? Why don't you introduce them?" Xianglian looked next to Robin and didn't find the black figure. Her heart sank slightly, "Where is Lin Qi? Sure enough... did something happen to him?"
"..." Robin said, "They... are the bloodline that Princess Lily left behind overseas."
Xianglian was shocked and looked at Sanda and Tulip.
Tulip waved her hand, "Don't worry about us, just drop by to take a look..."
She folded a flower and sat down in front of Lily's grave. She looked at the woman with a bright smile in the photo on the tombstone and said to herself: "No wonder Xu Lun was so surprised when you heard me talk about Princess Lily... It turns out that Giorno was
My mother also has such a story.”
"It's amazing."
Along the way, Sanda also listened to Robin's story in the Telephone Bug Castle. He admired Lynch's mother very much, but it was a pity that such a powerful and beautiful woman was not born in Nine Snakes.
Sanda picked three flowers and placed them gently in front of Lily's tombstone. He clasped his hands together and bowed.
"Is there any wine?"
The breeze blew Tulip's long golden hair. She sat in front of the monument and asked casually, "I want to have a drink with her."
"..." Xianglian remained silent, then quickly brought a pot of wine and poured a glass for Tulip.
Robin quietly told Xianglian the past of Nine Snakes Island...
After hearing this, Xianglian was disappointed. She didn't expect what Princess Lily had gone through after leaving the Kingdom of Flowers, and finally chose to enter the Windless Zone and establish a kingdom of only women on Nine Snake Island.
And after three hundred years, the descendants of Princess Lily finally returned to the Kingdom of Flowers in the West Sea...
To be continued...
