The Illiterate
A carriage bumped through the streets to another part of the kingdom.
Compared to before, the streets here are more neat and clean, and the pedestrians are relatively well-dressed, beautiful, and look polite when walking and laughing.
A single mansion is just a short distance ahead, which is the residence of Hogback.
Further away is a broad staircase on higher ground, above which is the magnificent royal palace.
Inside the carriage, Lin Qi thought to himself, the world of One Piece, it seems that all the country's royal palaces are built in the high places... even this country is no exception.
...
"What in the world is he!"
"It's the evil spirits! The evil spirits have followed us back!!!"
Inside the Black Powder Security Company, the gang members shouted in alarm.
A cigar floats in the air, the smoke curling on top, red light flickering.
"Damn it!" The division boss who was robbed of his cigar grabbed an ashtray and threw it in anger, but it struck the air, the cigar was floating in place and there was no invisible person as he thought.
There is no one at all...
The Cigar floating leisurely, followed by the sketch paper of Lin Qi on the table, Robin's reward order, a pile of business documents inexplicably also floating up.
The division boss gritted his teeth and flipped over the desk, kicking at the cigar and the papers.
The flying objects nimbly moved out of the way, and the division boss missed the kick. He fell to the ground and looked back, and the lit cigar head was already leaning over the edge of the piles of paper, setting them alight.
(t/n: let's just say that those papers sure are very flammable)
The sparks sprang up, spread and burned, and soon burst into a flame.
Even if you know that this is very likely to be the ability of a Devil Fruit ... and not a terrifying spirit of evil ... but there is still a cold chill that shoots up the spine of the division boss.
Damn, how to fight this kind of enemy!
Several gang members, who were already bloody, had already left their bodies, and afterward, whoever wanted to contact the undertaker to collect the corpse should do so, they wanted to escape first anyway! With or without their bodies is fine.
They have not walked a few steps, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in their shoulders.
"AHHH!!!"
It was as if a cold hand had reached into their shoulders, forcefully separating and tearing their flesh and blood, grabbing their bones and squeezing them mercilessly.
This pain can only be vented with a harsh scream.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!"
"Don't, don't come over here!!!"
A miserable scream came from the room.
The street outside the building, although no people are currently passing by, the commotion coming from inside can be clearly heard.
But... the people who live in the neighborhood, more or less understand what happening inside this building.
Although everyone is quite used to the gangsters activities, it's still better to avoid contacting them about it...
In the room.
Pieces of paper one after another, no matter if it is a sketch paper, or a bounty order, or a trade list, or various account books, and so on documents, from the bodies of these people, invisible hands touched and brought out, from inside the various drawers, books from bookshelves fly out and was casually thrown into the roaring bonfire on the floor, puff, puff, puff... flames becoming more vigorous by the second.
"I, my Money..."
The gang members with blood on their faces fell to the ground in a pool of blood, all full of pain indignation as they watched the bills in their pockets being touched and brought out by invisible hands.
A pile of Belli was pulled out of the several members of the gang, who were under the arm of the invisible evil spirits, ad they watched their bills fly next to the fire, stopping and seemingly hesitating twice before finally being thrown in.
There was even a bounty order in the drawer compartment that was tossed out.
That is a browning bounty order, obviously very old.
The photo is of a woman with long pink wavy hair, looking sideways somewhere, the corners of her mouth raised greatly, full of the charm of the evil style.
Wanted Dead or Alive
1.49 billion Belli!
Charlotte Linlin!
(t/n is this the fanon version of young big mom? The sexy version?)
A few of the younger members saw, immediately shivered in unison, looking at their boss.
I can't believe that there is a bounty order from the youth of BIG MOM, one of the fierce emperors of the sea!
The boss usually smokes cigars in the building, but also from time to time will take out this bounty order of the young woman to enjoy it!
It's so sultry!
Charlotte Linlin's bounty order floated down, also slowly fell to the fire.
The branch boss was also full of blood, and a face of resignation, even if covered in pain, but once he saw also became full of desire to stop the treasured bounty order from being burned to ashes.
But as soon as he tried get up, he pushing on the "evil spirit" hand into his arm, forcefully pinching his elbow bone, dislocating by mistake!
"AHHH!!!"
B.I.B eyes flooded with white light, the flames around the feet spread and burned, but cannot touch it, and naturally could not burn it even by a bit.
It gave each gang member another kick, picked up a wooden stick, dipped it in the blood on the floor, went to a wall, and took the scrolls hanging on it off.
B.I.B. recalls the words it was told by the stand user before moving out, following the gunshot in the street.
[ Lin Qi glanced at Robin once and grabbed B.I.B, saying in its ear "After you take down these idiots, follow them... used them to find their base, and give them a harsh lesson! If you find any reward orders or any other things of worth, burn them all...! Finally, before you come back, write a message on their wall..."]
...
B.I.B. held up the wooden stick dripping with blood, and was silent for a moment, but hesitated to write.
The gang members groaned in pain and rolled around in a pool of blood, staring in horror at the blood-dripping wooden stick hovering over the wall.
A line of blood dripping down the wall, along with the wall's tiny gaps, bifurcated, flowing... vaguely woven into a frightening picture...
Is there a meaning to this?
This horrible evil spirit, what else does it want to do?
The fire spread, burning up the legs of the table. The blood-dripping wooden stick suddenly flew back, giving the panicked gangsters a stick to smash on the head of one person, and finally, the stick was thrown away and landed in a pool of blood with a snap ...
The gang members shivered and held back from making a move.
For a long time, in the room in addition to the sound of crackling flames, there is no movement.
"Has it, has it gone?"
...
After leaving Black Powder Security, B.I.B stood at the entrance like a ghost, recognizing the direction where the original body was now based on a subtle sense.
It does not care what street, what route, and directly through the wall to go up.
Of course, it is faster to go straight!
B.I.B is a mass of energy, the ordinary wall does not constitute an obstacle, it is like a mass of wind traveling through half the city.
The old man sleeping in the house, the nobleman eating at the dining table, the girl reading at the table, the brat playing ball in the courtyard, the man and woman playing in the pool, and even the many people exercising in one bedroom ...
When B.I.B found a luxurious detached building in an upscale neighborhood at the foot of the palace, he entered and found the original who was waiting in an unoccupied room.
"Wait..."
Lin Qi is chatting with Robin, and felt something, and turned his head to see the pitch-black battle armor like a ghost swooped over.
The stand-in blue flame left hand pulled out the flowering fruit chip in Lin Qi's body, placed it in the inverted triangle area of its chest, and then immediately surged into the body's body.
"Eh.....? Mmmmmm..."
Lin Qi trembled like a vibrating machine, and let out a soulful moan.
Next to Robin who also stopped talking, a question mark slowly emerged above her head.
"Sheeeeeet, what a rush..."
Lin Qi clenched his teeth to slow down his breathing.
At this moment, his limbs and bones, tingling and numbing sensation, the experience of the stand's, fatigue, gains are perfectly mixed with his body.
At the same time, the memories of the stand during the period outside, also instantly merged into Lin Qi's mind.
"But indeed, this way of reporting is much simpler and more informative than just speaking by mouth! You're quite smart, you're worthy of me!"
Lin Qi laughed, black energy flames gushed out from his body, and released B.I.B again.
"But, illiterate people can not write such a humiliating thing, it should not come back to bite me, right?" He gritted his teeth, face to avoid the next inch of Robin full of questions, lowered his voice, and said in shame, "You at least did not ask those people on the floor?
