"This cup will punish you," Tulip raised her glass and joked to the lily on the tombstone. "It's not enough for your son to take over the only princess that our Nine Snakes have had since the founding of the country. He actually took away the most beautiful daughter of our Nine Snakes in hundreds of years."
The girl's heart was also taken away from her. Tsk, tsk, tsk, she is so greedy! Do you think she should be punished?"
The former Snake Lady smiled gracefully, raised her glass and sprinkled it on the ground in front of the tomb.
Xianglian looked at Robin. Robin explained: "Princess Lily left a legacy to Nine Snakes. Flowers and fruits are the national treasure of Nine Snakes. That's why Tulip made me the princess of Nine Snakes..."
Sanda felt sad for a while, and thought about it carefully, Tulip pretended to execute her sister Hancock, but actually forced out Princess Robin, who was suspected of possessing the flower fruit. That was a long time ago, but it felt like it happened yesterday, everything was gone.
Vividly in my mind.
Tulip poured herself a glass and said, "It's a pity that fate is a one-sided thing! It would have been nice if you could have found Nine Snakes. Maybe we could have a discussion... and become sisters, I don't know."
After finishing the pot of wine, Tulip stood up.
"I want to talk to Lily alone..."
Before leaving, Robin said to them.
Xianglian nodded and took Tulip and Sangda away.
By the way, Sangda told Xianglian the purpose of their trip. They came specifically to ask the current leader of the Kingdom of Flowers, Ayu, a black dragon fruit user, for a favor.
Xianglian listened and looked back to see Robin sitting alone in front of Lily's grave, not knowing what to say.
But actually...
The three women present could more or less guess what she would say.
Apparently it's about Lynch...
Xianglian was silent about this. She had resisted asking just now because she knew that Robin himself would tell Sister Lily.
…
"sorry……"
Robin sat on his knees in front of the tomb, pressing his knees with one hand and grasping the dirt ground with the other hand, grabbing the grass roots.
"It's all my fault that I didn't take him seriously... I said yes..."
She murmured, raising her red eyes and looking at the woman with a bright smile in the photo.
Robin reached out and gently touched Lily's tombstone. After standing up, she removed her fingertips and said, "Can I call you...'Mom'?" She twitched the corner of her mouth and forced a smile.
Stopping in front of the tomb for a moment, Robin sniffed the sour red tip of his nose and rubbed his eyes with the heels of his palms.
She quickly gathered her emotions. Tulip and the others were still waiting for her. She quickly turned around and left, heading towards the green-scaled snake outside the woods that had changed its shape and spread its broad wings...
The green-scaled snake spread its wings and flew away. Xianglian returned to the tomb and saw the remaining tear marks on her back. She shook her head and sat down, sighing: "Lin Qi will be fine, right? Sister Lily... If you know anything about Huang Quan,
You have to watch him."
"Sister Xu Lun!!"
Ayu, who was wearing the queen's casual clothes, burst into tears and threw herself into Robin's arms.
Seeing that Ayu was safe and sound, Robin gave her some snacks and touched Ayu's back.
"Should I call you Sister Robin?" Lily followed and came over, sticking out her tongue and saying, "Teacher Robin."
Ayu raised her head in Robin's arms, her big eyes flashing with tears, and she sobbed: "There has been a lot of scary news in the newspapers recently... Qingjiao and the others said... Brother Lin Qi might have had an accident... Is it true?
?”
Robin said nothing.
Ayu took a deep breath, but tears still fell down, "It's all my fault, I should have given the black dragon fruit to Brother Lin Qi... It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
Lily was anxious beside her, but she didn't know how to persuade him.
"I'm going for a walk." Tulip looked at Ayu intently, smiled softly, left a message to Robin, and left the palace in the direction of the New Flower Capital.
Sanda didn't go with her. She had just been offered a bounty of 400 million beli recently. There were so many people and it was better not to run around and cause trouble.
As for Tulip, she rarely appears in the eyes of newspapers and the world. She has always been low-key and mysterious. I'm afraid not many people can dig out her former reward orders from the old papers, but it doesn't matter...
While comforting Ayu, Robin also stopped for a while at the Royal Palace of the Kingdom of Flowers, mainly to let Sangda, who had flown all the way to the Kingdom of Flowers, have a good rest.
Lily went to ask the royal chef to prepare a sumptuous meal.
Sanda said with interest: "It looks delicious. Hey, it's a bit similar to our Nine Snake dishes? Then Lynch should also like it very much."
She opened her mouth, quickly shut up, and started eating. She glanced at Robin carefully and saw the princess gently patting Ayu's back to comfort her, while whispering to her about moving to the island.
Ayu didn't hesitate, "Okay!"
The flying ability of the Black Dragon Fruit is very different from other Devil Fruits. Lynch took the time to study this after defeating the Lord of the Black Dragon Kingdom, which can be considered as a way to explore the fruit development for Ayu.
The black dragon, as well as Kaido's blue dragon that Lynch knows, have the same flying ability.
Cloud climbing.
It can not only climb the clouds and mists that exist in the sky, but the Black Dragon Fruit can also make its own special clouds. In fact, it can also be considered that the Black Dragon can climb the clouds and mists that exist in the sky and transform them into the special clouds it needs to fly.
the process of.
"Fire Cloud" seems to be the name.
According to Lynch's analysis at the time, this kind of "flame cloud" that can drag the huge and heavy body of the black dragon and fly all over the sky effortlessly is actually... somewhat similar to the ability of Piao Piao Fruit.
Objects touched by the flame cloud will "fly into the air".
There is no need to explain anything, Devil Fruit is not reasonable to you. If you say it can fly, it can fly and it consumes very little physical energy.
The golden lion can easily move an island to the sky with the Piao Piao Fruit. If it is a skill that continuously burns blue, then no matter how strong the golden lion's physical strength is, it will have been drained by the Piao Piao Fruit long ago.
The flame cloud of the black dragon fruit is similar. The black dragon's physical strength is only in the moment of creating the flame cloud.
As for the subsequent Yanyun lifting the black dragon's huge body into the air, even in Lynch's original idea, maybe as long as enough is produced, Yanyun can lift an entire island into the sky... That is all the effect of Yanyun itself.
Yes, it has nothing to do with the black dragon's physical strength.
[“‘The wind follows the tiger, the clouds follow the dragon’!”]
[That is, Lin Qi took out the Black Dragon Fruit chip from his body and put it into Ayu's body again, "Haha, indeed, it is instinct for the dragon to ride on the clouds; the rising clouds and the lifting of all things are the attributes of the Yanyun itself..."]
…
Soon, after a big meal, Sanda patted his belly and said, "I'm full and full of energy!" He spread his wings and flapped twice, and he was ready to go at any time.
Not long after, Tulip also came back from the New Flower Capital, taking a small brocade box in her hand.
"What is this?" Sanda asked curiously.
The tulips opened with a smile, and Sundar wondered, "Dirt?"
This is when Tulip traveled through the five provinces of the Kingdom of Flowers, picking up a handful of soil from each place and packing it together. She planned to bring back the Nine Snakes and place them in front of the coffin of the founding emperor Lily as a memorial.
Ayu wiped away her tears and said goodbye to her little friend Lily. She was about to transform into a black dragon, but was stopped by Robin.
"Let's go to the Phone Bug Castle first and wait until Sanda takes us out of the Kingdom of Flowers." Robin explained, and then took Tulip and Ayu to jump into the castle inside Xiao Lu's body.
Lily's big eyes approached the castle entrance and waved goodbye to them.
Sangda hissed out the message, transformed into a large green-scaled snake, spread out a pair of snake wings tens of meters wide, and flew away with Little Green.
Leaving the waters of the Kingdom of Flowers, Sanda flew straight to the windless zone. Soon, a long black dragon flew out from among the green phone bugs on his back.
Sangda flapped her long and powerful wings, turned her head to look at the winding and soaring black dragon, and saw at the feet of her four dragon claws, clouds and mist that danced like flames, swirling and extinguishing, lifting what should have been an extremely heavy weight.
The dragon body is flying high in the sky...
"It's really magical." Sangda vomited and galloped side by side with the black dragon at high altitude. Soon they crossed over the red earth continent on the side of the upside down mountain, entered the windless sea area on the opposite side, and continued straight forward.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
The women on Nine Snake Island were fishing, hunting, farming and weaving when they suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet shaking and humming.
"earthquake?"
The women looked at each other in shock. They had never encountered an earthquake in the windless zone! Those large sea kings generally would not attack the island itself...
Soon, Hancock stood in front of the imperial palace and announced the situation, and the women of Nine Snakes understood what had happened.
moved!
I never thought that one day, Nine Snakes would be able to move...
"Look at the sky!" On the training ground in Nine Snakes City, Margaret, a six-year-old girl with short blond hair, pointed in the air and exclaimed, "The black dragon... so amazing..."
Ayu, who transformed into a black dragon, hovered on the top of the Nine Snake Mountains, looking up at the entire Nine Snakes City and the densely packed women in the streets of the city...
"This is the country established by Princess Lily..." Black Dragon said to herself. She had flown all the way to Nine Snakes Island. She had already heard Sister Robin talk about some things and understood a lot.
Rumbling, the flame clouds created by the black dragon circled around Nine Snakes Island, and a huge island floated and soared into the sky with a huge roar...
At the bottom of the cone-shaped island, there are circles of flame clouds with the power to soar, leaving a huge vortex on the sea below. The passing Neptunes were stirred by the current in the vortex, and they were a little confused in their panic.
…
The women of Nine Snakes looked down around the island, marveling at such a spectacle and feat.
"Ruskai...?"
