I Have No Interest In Devil Fruit

Today, twenty years later, there are two worlds.

The world of Qinghai, and the world of Baihai at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

The vast ocean and the islands dotted in the great route, as well as the cities that are emerging one after another on the red land that surrounds the world, constitute the former.

With the "empty city" above the five Tianshan Mountains as the hub, and the urban network composed of various "empty islands" that have existed in the sky since ancient times, this truly new world distributed on the White Sea is formed—— —and the transportation network that connects these white cloud islands, a miraculous feat, was accomplished by the cooperation of the legendary engineer and inventor Franky and the weather queen Nami.

Together, they planned a transportation system that would accommodate most of the empty islands, and then Nami built a set of "highways" using Haiyun technology, and Franky specially made "Franky" for these complex highway systems. Sky Train". It is said that these Haiyun highways have also joined the Franky memory alloy, so they have a strong self-healing function. Nowhere was this more effectively demonstrated than in a targeted attack that blew up a highway a few years ago.

The attacker attempted suicide. According to the investigation of the Ranger Association, the promoters behind the sabotage were several member states of the World Government, but all the royal families of the latter firmly denied this, and directly held the Dragon Snake Flower Alliance accountable. The next day, the Empress of the Flower Kingdom, as a representative of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, visited Liberty International, the firm partner of the Dragon Snake Flower Alliance for 20 years, and had a cordial meeting with the leader of Liberty International, Dorag...

Yes, the world government still exists. However, with the increasing diplomatic influence of the Dragon Snake Flower Alliance, the members of the world government are also losing more and more members. Today, twenty years later, the world government has become a nominally loose small alliance, leaving only a bunch of small noble kings who recall the history of the world's aristocratic scene twenty years ago.

Correspondingly, the navy that once served the world government has gradually become an unofficial civil organization. Most of those who adhere to the banner of the righteous navy are only veterans of the old era. After all, in today's era, if young people want to stand out and be a hero, they can try to join the Ranger Association, which has a good reputation, many benefits, and a high status...Join the Navy? Picture what?

I heard that someone within the Navy directly proposed to cooperate with the Ranger Association. Radicals even simply believe that the Navy should merge with the Ranger Association in this era and become a nominally independent but de facto sub-association in order to better pass on the banner of justice—— It is said that Admiral Smoker was very angry at this.

The reason why Xiaoda remembered some stories about the navy was because she was on the way to the ranger branch in this empty city in the South China Sea, and she was swiping her "mobile phone" casually, and saw some discussions about the navy. It can be said that it is a cultural custom of today's era to insult the navy and the world government every day. Xiaoda's parents were pirates before they obtained the official ranger status. In the old era twenty years ago, they had a hostile relationship with the navy and the world government. She browsed these discussions with great interest.

Speaking of pirates, in fact, in today's "Ranger Era", there are also pirates, which are mainly divided into two types. One is that some official rangers seem to have special feelings for the "Pirate Flag", so they spontaneously They have formed a specific small circle. Although they are rangers, they still like to call themselves pirates. When these people meet and chat, they must call themselves Luffy; there is another kind, which is the real thief of the sea—— I have to admit that in today's era of "flooding" of rangers, it can be said that those who dare to burn, kill, loot and enter the sea in the traditional sense are quite hard-core. It cannot be said that they are not afraid of death, but they are quite The world is desperate, and the end is usually reduced to a fresh stroke on the resume of a single-flower ranger or double-flower ranger.

Yes, the Ranger "flooded". Compared with completing the tasks assigned by the association, punishing rape and eradicating evil in the true sense of "ranger" behavior is more conducive to the promotion of rangers. Not uncommon. If you don't do it, some chivalrous people do it. These days, rangers are not doing well either.

Thinking of the promotion of Ranger, Xiao Da thought of his exam the day after tomorrow, and couldn't help speeding up his pace.

It is difficult to become an official ranger, but after more than ten years, looking at the world, there are also a large number of single-flower rangers at the lowest level, so the most regular way to advance is to take the exam-it is held every year, and the place is at the headquarters of the Ranger Association. If you pass, you can wear the double flower badge. There are different opinions on how to become the least number of rangers, the highest level, and the three-flowered ranger, and every three-flowered ranger in the existing association is a world-famous legend: One Piece Luffy, Hades So Takashi, Queen of Weather Nami... Flamebeard Ace, Demon Yamato... Hawk-eyed Mihawk, Red-haired Shanks...

"Show me your Ranger Badge, please."

Hearing this, Xiao Da came to his senses, took off the ranger badge with a lily flower from the back of the "mobile phone", and handed it to the staff at the front desk of the branch.

At this moment, the originally noisy hall of the association suddenly fell silent. Even the staff member opposite Xiao Da suddenly looked in the direction of the gate nervously.

Xiao Da's knowledgeable eyes could hear the nervous swallowing sound one after another in the hall, and some people tried to avoid something in a panic and collided with the table and chair and made a noise, and then they were reprimanded by their companions in a low voice... Xiao Da looked back suspiciously Looking over, her heart skipped a beat when she saw that tall and cold and arrogant figure.

In the morning, the eldest sister of the Chamber of Commerce complimented her. If she can pass this assessment, she will break the record at the age of fourteen and become the youngest double flower ranger! Xiaoda doesn't comment on this, it's really this so-called broken record, which seems so insignificant in front of the woman's deeds...

"It's Lin Qi..."

"She actually appeared here..."

"Big luck! We should go down now and go to the 21st floor to try our luck..."

"Suddenly rising like a meteor, it only took two short years to become a ranger with three flowers gathered at the top..."

"Nonsense, don't you even look at her name? This name, this kind of domineering work—"

"Hush!!"

The rangers in the hall tried their best to suppress the whispering voices, and also consciously avoided the tall young black-haired woman passing by with a blank expression.

Xiao Da was also watching this Lin Qi, whom everyone vaguely agreed to be the daughter of the Great Sage Lin... Yes, she is most likely Lynch's daughter. This widely circulated saying, after she became Sanhua Ranger in the second year of her debut, she basically accepted it by default. Lin Qi, who became a ranger in the first year of debut, was actually very low-key. Although she was harassed a lot because of this low-key, most of them disappeared quietly; It took a year to subdue all the double-flowered rangers registered in the ranger association, and named several three-flowered rangers one after another. After a duel that happened at an unknown time and place, she got the honor of many three-flowered rangers. Jointly agreed, after becoming Sanhua Ranger with an undisputed resume, he completely stopped pretending.

She no longer keeps a low profile, and her domineering style reminds the whole world of one of Lin Dasheng's wives. It was also after that that people gradually discovered the stone carvings of some of the people who had harassed her and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Her name is Lin Qi, her style is domineering, her appearance is too beautiful to describe in words, and she seems to have the ability to turn people into stone...

But Xiao Da was convinced that Mr. Lynch did have a daughter with the Empress.

She hesitated, it was rare to meet the other party, could she go and say hello?

I heard from my father before that I met this sister when I was a child, although I was still in my infancy at the time, I don't remember it at all...

While she was pondering on the spot, Lin Qi, who regarded everyone as non-existent like air, had been carefully led into the branch by the staff. Even without mentioning her suspected identity as the child of Lynch and the Empress, just with her face as a Ranger of Three Flowers, she can be recognized directly in any Ranger Association in the world. Of course, there is no need for a single-flower ranger like Xiaoda , but also specially show the ranger badge to go through the process.

"Name: Zelda; Age: 14; Permission: Single Flower Ranger... I have signed up for this double flower exam. Identity confirmation."

The staff at the front desk returned the badge to Xiao Da, and smiled kindly, "So you are the famous genius ranger in the South China Sea these two years! Are you only fourteen years old and you are going to take the double-flower exam? It's amazing, you have a bright future! immeasurable..."

"Thank you." Xiao Da took back the badge and pasted it on the back of the "phone", "So, when is the nearest train to Xihai Kongcheng?"

"The exam is the day after tomorrow morning. It's rare to come to the empty city. Don't you want to go shopping?" The staff member said with a smile, while checking the "tablet" at hand. On the back was a lily flower with a slightly different color and pattern. Badge, "Let me see... the nearest train is at 12:30 noon, and there is still more than an hour."

"More than an hour..." Xiao Da nodded. It seemed that he could still have lunch, and he happened to be wandering around this empty city in the South China Sea. After the exam, she planned to go home and bring some Nanhai souvenirs to her father. However, are the things in the empty city of the South China Sea considered a special product of the South China Sea?

Just as she was thinking about it, she didn't notice that the staff's expression became stiff. When she turned her head, she found a person standing behind her, blocking her way.

Lin Qi who didn't know when appeared, folded her arms, looked down at Xiao Da from above, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Zelda?"

Zelda noticed that almost all the eyes in the hall were gathered on their side, which made her a little nervous. Eyes——she summoned up the courage to raise her head, then averted her eyes with a little inferiority, and nodded.

"Ace's daughter?" Lin Qi said again, her eyes rested on the pair of horns protruding from Zelda's white hair, and she had actually confirmed the identity of the other party, "Are you going to take the double-flower exam? Let's go." , we happened to be on the way." She lifted her chin, her tone was unquestionable, and she turned around and walked out of the gate without waiting for Zelda's response.

The crowd parted. After watching Lin Qi go out, all eyes looked at Zelda.

Ace's daughter?

Is that Sanhua Ranger Ace? !

Most of the people who can become rangers, even single-flower rangers, have mastered the knowledge and domineering, and they have heard a little bit of the conversation between Lin Qi and Zelda just now.

Zelda didn't wait for these people to react, and quickly ran out.

Lin Qi didn't wait for her. There was a white island cloud outside the gate of the branch. Zelda opened his eyes to search, and then released Fire Cloud Roger from the weather stick, and then hurriedly caught up with Lin Qi who was walking towards the edge of the island cloud. ——In front of her, on a Haiyun Highway that was not in the sky train station, a sky train with the flag of the Dragon Snake Flower Alliance on the front stopped slowly, and just opened the door when Lin Qi arrived.

Lin Qi went straight in.

Zelda came driving Fire Cloud Roger, and looked at the sky train and hesitated for a while. In fact, Lin Qi didn't seem to notice her following at all, which made Zelda wonder if she should follow the train. If she made a mistake, it would be embarrassing... She was thinking so wildly, the train kept going Lin Qi's head poked out from the open door, and she glared dissatisfiedly at Zelda who was hesitating in mid-air.

Zelda stuck out her tongue, urged Roger, and flew into the open door of the sky train. Soon, the train started and the doors closed behind her.

The carriage was empty, only Lin Qi was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, casually flipped through two pages of a magazine that had been put aside, tapped her fingers on the table, and soon several waitresses brought a copy of the magazine. Covered dinner plates came and filled most of the table.

"Are you drinking?"

Zelda froze for a moment before realizing that Lin Qi was asking herself, and quickly said, "No..."

Lin Qi had already broken the necks of two bottles of wine with a flick of her fingers, one of which was pushed directly in front of her, and she grabbed the other bottle and drank it up.

"Why don't you talk?" Lin Qi drank it all in one gulp, threw the wine bottle into the trash can in the corner, crossed her legs and grabbed a fork to pick up a steak, shook it gently, and handed it to Zelda. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You should call me sister."

She smiled faintly, as if the lilies bloomed and the ice and snow melted, finally relaxing Zelda's tense nerves, she opened her mouth mysteriously, and bit the steak on the fork that Lin Qi handed over.

"Last year, I challenged your parents one-on-one. I heard they named you Zelda. Really..." Lin Qi shook her head, "It's a pity that you weren't there at the time, otherwise we would have known each other."

"I..." Zelda mumbled, took the steak and ate it in two or three bites, and then asked in confusion, "Is my name strange?"

"How should I put it..." Lin Qi smiled narrowly, "I think you are very suitable to be my brother's friend."

"Sister Lin Qi's younger brother?" Zelda was very curious.

Lin Qi said, "My name is Finch. Boa Finch."

"Huh?" Zelda's eyes widened dumbly, "Lin Qi is a pseudonym!"

"I learned from my old man!" Lin Qi, no, Finch didn't know what to think of, curled her lips, "Also, strictly speaking, 'Lin Qi' is not a pseudonym."

Zelda muttered, "It's easy to be confused with your father's name..."

"Just mess around, who cares?" Finch said, "And you, I heard it when I was registering at the front desk of the branch just now. You are only fourteen years old this year. You are only fourteen years old, and you came out to be a ranger?"

"You're only a teenager..." Zelda continued to mutter, and when she saw Finch glanced over, she immediately said cutely: "I also learned from my parents! My mother said that her biggest dream when she was a child Even if I ran away from home, I would be fulfilling her wish..." Under Finch's calm gaze, Zelda lowered her head and muttered, "I want to prove that I can do it without their protection." It’s a very powerful thing! To make them look at me with admiration..."

"Then you should change your blood." Finch smiled, "Your father, Ace, and mother, Yamato, both have fusion abilities. One is a flame of nature, and the other is a phantom beast. As their children, If you don’t want to be great, that’s the more difficult thing.”

Zelda glared at Finch resentfully. Although this seemed to be the truth, the sister said it too bluntly.

"Where is Sister Finch?" Zelda changed the subject, "They all said that you inherited the Medusa ability of the empress, but there are other rumors that your ability is actually something else..."

Finch joked, "I do have other abilities. Do you want to try?"

She stretched out her hand to pick up Zelda's chin, and a line of foam flowed from her fingertips... Zelda trembled all over, startled and shy, and sat frozen in place with a flushed face, which made Finch laugh out loud.

This was the first time Zelda saw Sister Finch laugh like this, and for some reason, she also became happy.

The sky train runs along the straight sea-cloud "highway" between the vast white sea and towards the direction of the West Sea, like a steel dragon soaring through the clouds and mist.

In the carriage, Zelda and Finch talked and laughed, and the chat became more and more harmonious.

Suddenly, Finch took out her Sanhua Ranger badge and stuck it on the back of the unfolded "tablet". After clicking on the Ranger software and browsing the notifications, the smile on her face gradually faded away.

what happened? Zelda was very curious and wanted to take a peek, but she didn't dare. She turned on her "mobile phone" and quickly understood after entering the ranger software. A newest topic quickly became the hottest topic, and the number of views and replies soared at a speed visible to the naked eye... The focus of the topic was a task that was posted just a few minutes ago. A quest that names specific rangers to complete.

"Mission Requirement: Obtain at least 100ml of fresh blood from Nine Snake Empress Boa Hancock"

"Publisher: Navy"

"Designated Ranger: Sanhua Ranger, Lin Qi"
