I'm not interested in devil fruit

Chapter 609 Resigned
[Chapter Header Series. Heart Pirates 17. "To Haiyan Island"]
[Luo (Rosindi) and Rosindi (Luo) explained that the two of them were exchanged for their souls by the fruit of the operation, but baby5 was still full of shock——you think this kind of thing can be explained casually like this, others Is it acceptable? ! ?But the two of them didn't seem to consider whether she could accept it, and calmly rowed the spare boat stolen from the warship...]——
"The visitor is not good."

In the underground grotto, Headless Xingtian sat on the ground, listening to Xiang Lian's eloquent account of the past 30 years ago, and heard that after Lily failed to assassinate the previous king, the previous king even invited Bai He into the palace for a chat...

"I'm afraid this banquet is not a good one." Robin's slightly dull voice came from under Xing Tian's abdomen.

Xianglian remained expressionless, "I persuaded her like this, but she didn't listen, so she went anyway."

boom!boom!boom! ... There was a crashing sound in the grotto, Xiangchun frowned and looked at the mute who had hit his head against the stone wall, the latter was already dripping with blood, and suddenly rolled his eyes and passed out.

"What happened to him?" Xing Tian turned around and took a look.

Xiangchun said disdainfully: "Who cares about him! Maybe it's because he has done too many bad things with the black dragon, and his brain has been broken."

Xianglian lowered her eyes and continued to finish the story of 30 years ago...

……

[The country of flowers, the capital of water, the imperial palace. 】

【Baihe brought her righteous sister Xianglian to the palace for a banquet. 】

[Where they went, within twenty steps around, none of the palace warriors dared to approach, as if they were not two flowery and jade-like women, but a flowery and jade-like woman, and a flower-like jade-like woman with a hair like flowers and jade. A beast of a woman's skin. 】

【Lily holds the long sword at her waist with one hand, supports her slender waist with the other, and walks calmly. 】

【Xiang Lian was expressionless, always vigilant about everything around her, seeing those nervous black armored warriors with disdain in her eyes, but also a little bit of pleasure. 】

[Seeing that the female assassin actually came as promised, the king quietly let out a sigh of relief. 】

【It's just that the first sentence the female assassin said when they met was not about going to a banquet and talking, but she asked with great interest: "Can I see the baby fruit tree?"】

【The king wondered: "I'm afraid this won't work."】

【Xiang Lian sarcastically said: "Do you really think it belongs to your own family?"】

【"Why are you still so obsessed with what happened 300 years ago?" The lord sighed, "If there is another dispute, it will be ordinary people who suffer!"】

【Looking at the king, Lily admitted frankly: "You are not much stronger than me, but I can't kill you either."】

[The lord of the country bowed his hands and complimented: "Women don't give up to men, Lily Heroine is a true hero."]

【"However, the 'Flower World' should have been moved by you too, right?" Lily turned around and said, "I want to see it with my own eyes."]

【"Flower World?" The ruler was puzzled. 】

【Xianglian glanced at him coldly, "It's the 'Treasure of Fengyue'!"】

【"Oh, that's it." The lord understood it, but became even more puzzled. He shook his head and said, "It's just a place full of bones and statues, it's not a treasure house. There are not many flowers and bushes, it can't be regarded as a fancy world. .”]

【Lily said: "In the stories I heard from people, Princess Lily liked that place very much more than 300 years ago, so I also want to see it with my own eyes. Can't I?"]

【"Okay, of course." The lord touched the scar on his face. He still had the scar left by the lily's beheading of the dragon's horn on his head. He smiled slightly and said, "Your master, please."】

[In the corner, the golden prince showed fear in his eyes. 】

【"Prince, why did you lie to me!?" At this moment, a crying short middle-aged man came running from a distance, was kicked over by the golden prince, stepped on his feet, and pulled out the short middle-aged man's tongue, Viciously said: "What are you shouting about? You don't want to live anymore, do you?!"]

【The little middle-aged man wanted to cry out, but couldn't speak clearly. Impatiently, the Golden Prince drew out the dagger from his arms, and cut off the little middle-aged man's tongue. 】

[A drop of blood splattered on Prince Jin's vicious cheek, and slowly slid down. 】

【He looked at the figure who left with his father, his eyes were full of displeasure... This woman must not be kept! 】

【If I keep this woman, I will be the one who will be unlucky after my father dies...】

……

……

〖Water Capital—〗

The black dragon billowed in the densely clouded sky, the common people knelt down in the streets and alleys, and the Dragon Banner Army passed by everywhere.

"The remnants of the Demon League, the wicked will never die..."

A ferocious dragon's head protruded from the dark clouds, and said coldly, "This time, I vow to kill all these evildoers, so as not to ruin the life of this country of flowers..."

"The lord Shengming..."

"The lord of the country is blessed with great grace..."

There were bursts of shouts in unison from the streets and alleys.

Among the crowd kneeling on the street, a little boy was trembling because of fear, and was about to cry.

"Ok?"

There was a Dragon Banner soldier coming from the street next to him, and he noticed something strange in the crowd.

The mother next to the little boy tightly covered his mouth, and shouted louder: "The lord is holy! The lord is gracious..."

The Dragon Banner Army saw nothing unusual, so they passed by.

"The lord Shengming..."

The pious voice on the ground did not calm the anger in the heart of the king.

He thought that since the woman named Lily was eliminated by him, he could sit back and relax!Who would have thought that such a thing would happen, that there would still be those remnants of the demon alliance, not only did not give up completely, but they were so bold as to burn down the god baby fruit tree...

These people are crazy!Burning the Shenying fruit tree, of course, I can't use it, how about you?Even if you have a one-in-a-billion chance of overthrowing the black dragon's rule, then what?This sacred tree left over from the previous dynasty, if it is destroyed, it is really destroyed!

hateful!hateful!
……

……

【Hateful woman...】

【At the banquet, Prince Jin sat quietly beside his father, while listening to his father's conversation, while eating silently by himself, from time to time secretly glanced at the female assassin who was feasting, and sneered in his heart. 】

【Xiang Lian seems to have heard something ridiculous, propped herself up on the table in front of her, and stared at the king above her, "Did I hear you right? What did you just say?!"】

【While eating generously, Lily also looked at the king. 】

[The lord raised his cup and took a sip, raised his chopsticks and hit the rim of the gilt bowl, making a crisp sound, and sighed: "I mean, it's not good for you if you continue to entangle your grievances and grievances like this. It is also very distressing to be worried and feared for generations. For the people of the entire country of flowers, it is even more miserable..."]

【"Isn't that all caused by you yourself?!" Xianglian scolded, "Excessive taxation, corrupt officials, and connivance of the Dragon Banner Army to harm the village! More than 300 years ago, it was you who plotted against the royal family of the Kingdom of Flowers and stole great treasures! Now On the contrary, we caused you... the so-called 'fear'? The people are miserable..." She sneered twice, "Are they doing well now?!"]

【"Okay, okay, what's the point of talking about this now? Everyone insists on their own opinions!" The king swung his sleeves and sighed, "The past is over, who can tell right from wrong?"】

【Xianglian slapped the table and said angrily: "Fuck your mother! How can there be no right or wrong?!"】

【A pair of chopsticks blocked Xianglian, who wanted to overturn the table and hack the king to death. She angrily glared at Lily, who was holding chopsticks. 】

[Papa, Lily pinched his chopsticks twice, looked at the king and said, "Let him finish his sentence."]

[The lord smiled slightly, sighed, cupped his hands and said: "The heroine is so powerful, I'm afraid. I don't want to fight you anymore... I'm tired too. For the 300 years of grievances and grievances, there must be a leader. So , this king proposed..."]

【He raised up a finger, "As long as you can find the symbol of this country, the national treasure—Huahuaguo," pointing at the heroic Lily, "then I will respectfully abdicate and return the great treasure to..."]

[The Lord's eyes turned between Baihe and Xianglian, and asked with a smile: "Princess Lily's blood should still be alive, right?"]

【"Maybe, maybe not." Xianglian looked at him coldly, and said with disdain, "Do you think we will believe this kind of shit agreement? Don't dream—"]

【"Okay." Lily laughed at the side, "I'll go find the national treasure, and the black dragon will get out of that seat, so it's settled?"】

【"How about a high-five as an oath?" The king smiled. 】

【Lily got up, waved her hands, and walked away with Xiang Lian...】

……

【Out of the palace, Xianglian couldn't bear it any longer. She stared at Baihe with tears in her eyes, pushed her forcefully, and cursed: "Are you out of your mind? Believe in that kind of nonsense!?"】

[Lily fell to the ground and did not answer for a long time.Sad and disappointed, Xianglian was so annoyed that she turned around and left. 】

【"hiss……"】

【Lily lying on the ground, clutching the unhealed broken bones on her body, muttering, "It still hurts... Hey, where is the person?"】

【She sat up and found that Xianglian had disappeared. 】

[Lily sits alone for a long time. 】

【Xiang Lian was sulking after her life alone, and when she came back to her senses, she found that Yijie was nowhere to be found. 】

【She...she really left the Kingdom of Flowers? ! 】

【Xiang Lian couldn't believe it. 】

[The relationship between us and the black dragon can be said to be endless!Can a conflict be resolved by an agreement?How naive do you have to be to believe in such fantasies? ! 】

【Burial Flower Valley, Xianglian got angry here alone, yelling at the cold moonlight that Yijie's brain is broken. 】

……

……

"It's here."

As the night darkened, the psychic grandma and Ayu brought Lynch and Robin to a valley.

The valley is extremely dilapidated, and there are not even a few weeds.

The cold wind is faint, like weeping and complaining, and the cold penetrates into the bone marrow.

Robin glanced at the bottom of the valley, and said in a daze, "What is this place?"

Ayu hugged her arms, trembling a little. Seeing this, Robin squatted down and gently embraced her.

"It's here..." Ayu closed her eyes tightly, but finally opened them again. Soon, a phantom flew out of her body. It was those ghosts, bones, and rotting corpses... piled up like a mountain, full of a great horror, The atmosphere of great ruin, great sorrow, and great desolation.In Robin's eyes, these mountains of dead souls fit perfectly with the valley in front of him, as if they were here in the first place.

The psychic grandma sighed: "This is the Valley of Burying Flowers. The place where everything is buried..."

Robin looked at the thin little girl in his arms, "Did you come here out of curiosity after hearing the story here, and did you inadvertently stimulate the shadows of those ghosts?"

Ayu nodded.

Grandma Tongling walked to the bottom of the valley, "More than 300 years ago, there was a city here, which was the capital of the country of flowers at that time, that is, the capital of flowers..."

Lynch and Robin, who was leading Ayu, followed behind. What passed beside him were barren rocks, ruins, embers, and the phantoms of bones, rotting corpses, and ghosts created by Ayu that gradually dissipated.

"Later, the black dragon destroyed everything here, destroyed everything, moved everything away..." The psychic grandmother sighed as she walked, "It's gone, nothing is left, and in the end there is only this barren valley with nothing left. Over the past 300 years, the blood and corpses of countless warriors of the Bamboo League buried here... maybe even their ambition to sacrifice for it, everything is buried here."

"That's why this place is called Burial Flower Valley..." Robin followed behind, "But, 'move'? Can the black dragon move a city?"

"It's not a city, it's mainly because the palace has been moved." The psychic grandma looked into the distance in the dark night, "It's the palace of the capital of water now..."

She shook her head and said, "For mortals, it is impossible to move mountains. But for a black dragon like a mythical creature, it seems that even if you move an island and fly away, it is nothing."

Robin nodded wordlessly.

Looking at the gloomy Flower Burial Valley in the night, she couldn't help but took Lin Qi's hand and held it gently.

Lynch didn't express anything. In fact, he didn't talk much along the way. Robin couldn't even see much sadness in his eyes, as if he was just a bystander.

"Go down and have a look." Lynch said after reaching the bottom of the valley.

Grandma Tongling was a little surprised. After carefully sensing the air mechanism underground, she found something, nodded and sighed: "They are really here... and this is the only place where they can stay."

Only Ayu showed doubts, and Robin looked down at their feet. Under the ground tens of meters apart, it was the underground grotto where the Headless Xingtian she controlled was at the moment.

But at this moment, through the flower ear in Xingtian's collarbone, Robin clearly heard Xianglian's scolding voice containing anger and resentment in the underground grotto...

……

"Idiot! Idiot! What an idiot!"

After Xianglian finished talking about the events of the year, and talked about Lily's leaving without saying goodbye, her face was still flushed with anger, and she cursed angrily, "Stupid and naive! How dare you believe in that shitty agreement, and never come back after 30 years , is simply a bastard!"

Xiangchun persuaded: "Okay, big sister, it's been so long, don't be angry..."

Xiang Lian glared angrily at Xiang Chun, who immediately shut up.

The underground grotto was quiet again, only Xianglian's angry panting, and the mute's moaning slowly waking up from the pool of congealed blood remained.

For the time being, no one cares about the mute.

Robin sighed softly, manipulated the flower mouth in Xingtian's abdomen, and said slowly to Xianglian: "Lily is dead."

All sounds stopped abruptly.

Xiangchun turned to look at the headless monster.Xianglian was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning, and then her eyes gradually turned red, which were bloodshot eyes, her teeth creaked, her breathing became heavier, and she squeezed out a few words between her teeth: " This, no, but—"

Xing Tian stood up and sighed, "He died of illness. That happened almost ten years ago."

"This is impossible!!"

Xiang Lian blurted out, took a deep breath, and looked coldly at the headless monster, "Dead of illness? Who are you fooling? She's like that—she wouldn't be sick at all, how could she die of illness?!"

Xing Tian said: "She was buried in Las Gap, the island closest to the great sea route in the West Sea..."

After telling Xianglian the address of the small village, Xing Tian said, "Her tomb is over there. There are some wild flowers around, she should like it very much."

"I told you, I don't believe it." Xiang Lian's expression was very cold, "Who the hell are you?"

"Eldest sister..." At this moment, Xiangchun spoke suddenly, his voice trembling.

Xiang Lian stared at her, but saw that the second sister's face was slightly pale, staring blankly at the dumb little old man who was sitting in a pool of congealed and sticky blood, beating his blood-stained head with a moan...

"Eldest sister, why, why would he help us?" Xiangchun murmured, "I thought he was just greedy for life and afraid of death...but since just now, whenever we talk about Lily, he hurts like crazy. Own……"

"...!?" Xianglian's pupils suddenly constricted.

"Ahh!" The dumb little old man shrank his body when he heard the words, and wanted to grab the ground with his head again.

Suddenly, an arm popped out on the ground, pinning the mute's head to stop him.

The mute looked at the hand growing out of the ground as if he had seen a ghost, and screamed "ahhh" in a panic.

Xiang Lian seemed to have seen something unbelievable, and stayed where she was in disbelief.

"National treasure, Huahuaguo..."

Such a voice came from under Xing Tian's clothes, and then his whole body disintegrated and turned into flower petals all over the sky, sprinkled in the underground grotto one after another.

"Lily has indeed been found." The voice in the second half of the sentence came from elsewhere.

In the secret passage leading to the Valley of Burying Flowers, the psychic grandma, Ayu, Lynch and Robin walked down slowly, and the second half of the sentence was exactly what Robin said.

The petals fluttered one after another, the dumb face panicked, Xiangchun was in a daze, Xianglian's lips trembled, tears welled up suddenly, Ayu was also dumbfounded, and looked up at Robin, who just smiled and touched her head, Lynch There was no response, but the psychic grandma looked at the fluttering petals, burst into tears for a while, and sighed, "Huahuaguo, Huahuaguo... National treasure, I finally returned to the land of the country of flowers, Huahuaguo... ...Princess Lily, have you seen it?"

The old woman knelt down tremblingly, weeping mournfully.

Xianglian and Xiangchun stared blankly at Xu Lun, who came out of the crowd, and when the latter raised his hand, many petals surged up, and several white and slender arms spun out from her elbows.

Robin said: "As you can see, I am the ability user of Huahuaguo."

Before everyone could react, she reached out and pointed at the panic-stricken mute. Beside the mute, a large group of petals rose from the ground, condensing into another dumb old man who was exactly the same.

"Oh my God, it really is a Huahua fruit!" The psychic grandmother cried, "This is the power of a national treasure... Huahua World..."

"His tongue has been broken long ago, and there is no way to reproduce the complete..."

As Robin said, he moved the severed tongue out of the dumb mouth of Hua Zizai's avatar, and flew into the mouth of the stunned dumb body, "But in this case, I can barely speak again."

Grandma Tongling wiped the corners of her eyes and sighed: "Xianglian, I probably understand why you resent Lily...I can't help you not to hate her for never coming back, but what I can tell you is that she has been a sweetheart since she was a child." The little beggar who goes around begging for food, at Ayu's age, has already seen a lot of the warmth and coldness of the world... I only raised her for one year, but I know very well that she is not so naive as to put hope on An innocent girl in someone who obviously can't be trusted..."

"..." Xianglian's lips trembled, tears filled her eyes, and she couldn't help taking two steps back.

Xiangchun questioned the mute, "Why on earth are you willing to help us?"

Dumb mouth trembling, very painful.

"I found out when I met you for the first time..." Lynch seldom opened his mouth at this time, and everyone in the cave also looked at him, only to see him pointing at the dumb old man, and said strangely, "You seem to see Are you scared when you touch my face?"

The dumb body trembled, and he was about to bang his head against the wall, but was grabbed by Xiang Lian who came over.

Xiang Lian's ferocious expression seemed to be eating people, she glared at the dumb man viciously, and asked through gritted teeth, "What the hell... what happened... tell me quickly!!"

"me……"

The mute really spoke. Although the half of the tongue that was connected was not suitable, and the tongue was a bit big, but he did speak clearly, "It's pollen...it's pollen..."

"pollen?"

Robin was surprised. As far as she knew, it was the secret medicine used by the Dragon Banner Army to fight for their lives, the poison that overdraws their vitality in exchange for explosive power.

The former palace doctor was dumb, shedding blood and tears, holding his head and saying in pain: "The prince said it was for research, in order not to make soldiers sacrifice so painfully...so I was asked to reduce the toxicity of pollen...In the end I made a failed product, not only It can’t inspire stronger power, and it’s still a chronic poison... If you take it, you will definitely die after a few years..."

"What did you say!?"

Xiang Lian swayed twice as if struck by lightning, staggered backwards, and fell to the ground, muttering to herself, "But...at that time... I also ate those..."

"It was painted on..." the mute beat his bloody head in pain, "on her tableware..."

"Eldest sister..." Xiangchun looked worriedly at Xianglian, who sat on the ground with blank eyes, speechless for a long time, as if his soul had been exhausted.

At this moment, Robin picked up a broken stone, stroke by stroke on the ground, and quickly traced the appearance of a woman laughing brightly.

Only then did Xiang Lian, who was sitting dumbfounded, move her eyeballs, and seeing the woman on the ground outlined with a few strokes, a desolate sob came out from deep in her throat, which choked.

"This is what Lily looks like in the photo on the tombstone..."

Robin leaned over and patted Ayu's head, "Can I trouble you to use your ability to summon her phantom? If it is a phantom fruit, it should be able to make Lily's shadow come back for a short time, even if it is only a few seconds ..."

Ayu silently looked at the face of the laughing woman outlined with a few strokes on the ground, and nodded vigorously.

She squatted down, stretched out her hand to touch it lightly, and then pressed her lips tightly...

Suddenly, a phantom flew out of her body like moonlight, and appeared in this underground grotto.

The mute screamed in fright, rubbing back and forth on the ground.

Xiangchun was dumbfounded, "This is my sister's sister..."

The psychic grandma looked at the phantom and sighed.

"Thank you." Robin embraced Ayu, who raised his head and opened his eyes wide, looking at the phantom of the woman he had summoned.

Lily in phantom form is much younger than what Robin saw on the tombstone, more youthful, and more energetic... However, she doesn't seem to be in a good mood.

The lily in the phantom seemed to be looking back at something, raised her foot to step on something in the air, and looked at the shaking, it seemed to be the edge of a small boat.

This is the reenactment of the moment when she left the Kingdom of Flowers... A sense of enlightenment rose in Robin's heart.

Phantom Lily looked back, scratched her head and said to herself: "Really... Is Xiao Lianlian so unconfident in me?"

"Of course I don't believe the black dragon's nonsense... But, if I stay in the country of flowers, my strength can't be improved any more. I have to go outside for a while!"

She clenched her fists and snorted, "Dead Black Dragon, wait for me! When I come back again, I will definitely beat you to the ground!"

"But..." Phantom Lily jumped aside, as if she had boarded the boat. She opened her arms and looked into the distance with a bright smile. "What is the national treasure that Princess Lily couldn't find? Interesting! Hehe...Maybe when I come back next time, I will bring a handsome and powerful son back. Who knows what will happen in the future! Right?"

"Ranger Lily..."

The woman as bright as a flower glanced back, and waved her finger on her forehead, "Today I'm going to a farther place to fight for justice! Hee hee..."

The last smile on her face, as the phantom gradually dissipated...

Behind the dissipated phantom was Xianglian who had already burst into tears. She cried so hard that she could hardly breathe. Xiangchun next to her wiped the corners of her eyes, hurriedly supported the eldest sister, and gently patted her on the back.

"Sister Lily...Sister Lily..." Xianglian cried bitterly. Xiangchun had never seen a big sister so weak, so helpless, and crying so pitifully, like a little girl who regretted doing something wrong, she wailed Crying loudly, "I'm sorry for you!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Xianglian beat her head desperately, wishing to slap herself to death with one palm.

The sound of weeping blood and crying echoed in this underground grotto.

Grandma Tongling wiped her tears, sighed deeply, and murmured: "My good girl..."

Bang, bang, bang!Xiang Lian slapped her head, Xiang Chun was at a loss, at this moment Robin reached out and grabbed Xiang Lian's wrist, and sighed: "Don't do this..."

Xiang Lian cried so hard that she couldn't see her body, and let her hold her.

Robin wiped the corners of his eyes lightly, turned around and said, "Lin—"

She was startled, Lynch was no longer in this underground grotto.

Ayu timidly said: "He went out just now when you were painting her... Brother Giorno, don't you want to know these things?"

"Do not……"

Robin showed a complicated smile, "I think that's because he is very similar to Lily...so he can know what Lily was thinking without seeing Apparition..."

"Eh?" Ayu was surprised, "Why?"

"Because..." Robin said softly, "His name is actually Lynch, he is Lily's child."

　I wrote this paragraph in one breath, and I feel that it is better to read it in one breath, so I will not divide it into chapters...
