The moment the chip of the tube fruit enters the body.

Just like the flower chip that was implanted in Robin, Lynch immediately felt some kind of change in his body.

There is a certain kind of ...... Instinctive intuition. He looked at his hands, recalling the memories he had received from B.I.B. of the Gunpowder leader using the ability to manage the fruit......

What is this kid doing? Shanks played with the green phone bug in one hand and supported his chin with the other, and sat on the broken wooden board and looked at Lynch with a strange expression. In his view, Lynch's dark ghost suddenly fell apart—something similar to the abilities of someone he knew—and Lynch grabbed one part of it, pulled a white object out of the other, and thrust it into his own chest.

Is it some kind of application of this kid's ghost abilities......

Shanks thought so as he saw Lynch try to hold his hand down on the ice.

The moment Lynch's hand touched the ice, a circular hole suddenly appeared on the ice.

"Huh?" Shanks was stunned.

"Huh?" Lynch was also stunned, raised his head and looked at Shanks, and in the next moment, there was a poof!

Lynch fell through a round hole in the ice, splashing a wave of water.

Shanks was so good at seeing and hearing that he could even hear Lynch's gurgling as he sank into the sea under a hole in the ice......

And after Lynch fell into the water, the hole in the ice immediately closed, leaving no trace of damage.

"Really! What's going on? ”

Shanks did not hesitate, and immediately jumped into the sea in a standard diving position.

And almost at the same time as him, when Lynch stumbled and fell into the sea, the various "armor parts" floating in the air immediately took action.

Whoosh...... "B.I.B'swooper" was in the lead, followed by breastplate, arm armor, shoulder armor, back armor, and leg armor, like a phantom through the thick ice, and swept into the sea without causing any change in the current.

Shanks puffed out his cheeks and held his breath, diving underwater like a fish, following the series of bubbles that floated up, and soon found Lynch, who was drowning and sinking, a very classic Devil Fruit ability who rolled his eyes when he fell into the water.

Just as he was about to fish Lynch up.

His heart moved, and when he turned his head, he saw a pair of eyes glowing with a dim white light quickly passing by, straight towards the drowning Lynch.

The visor snapped over Lynch's rolled, bubble-up face.

Then there is the helmet, snapped, covered.

Shoulder armor, snap, cover...... Armours, breastplates, dorsal armours, leg armours...... All the parts of the armor were dazzlingly worn on Lynch's body in turn.

Lynch's eyes froze blankly.

He clenched his fists underwater, realized that he had "regained" his strength, and quickly figured out the situation.

, it's a shame......

He spotted the red-haired Shanks swimming towards him in the water. In the surprised gaze of the other party, Lynch shook his arms, kicked his legs, and swam up towards the sea very nimbly.

"Whoa!" "Wow!"

The water splashed in all directions, and the heads of Lynch and Shanks were exposed to the surface of the sea.

Lynch, dressed in his armor, hurriedly climbed onto the ice not far away.

"Hoo ......"

Lynch lay on the ice and let out a sigh, falling into the water as an ability, and the feeling of weakness was really uncomfortable......

The pitch-black armor was stripped from his body and formed "B.I.B" next to him.

Wow, Shanks returned to the ice from the sea, squeezing through his wet clothes, and asked curiously, "What's going on?" Aren't you a capable person, and you can actually swim up on your own? ”

He shook the water droplets off his straw hat and put it on his head.

Burst! "B.I.B" pressed Lynch's chest and pressed a "fountain" out of Lynch's mouth.

Lynch wiped his mouth and sat up, "This is the special feature of my 'ghost' ability...... When I put it on as an 'armor', if my 'stamina' is lower than its current state, I can act with its 'strength' as the main body......"

It's the equivalent of a spare stamina gauge that you can carry around.

This is easy to understand, after all, from the beginning, "B.I.B" was a relatively independent stand-in from the ontological Lynch.

What "B.I.B" "copies" is Lynch's own state when he was separated.

After the separation, Lynch exercised to the point where he was weak, crippled, or like just now, he was weak after falling into the water with the Devil Fruit ability...... After wearing the "B.I.B", you can directly use the "copy" of the physical strength carried by the "B.I.B".

Due to Lynch's previous instructions to "B.I.B": when the body is a Devil Fruit ability, you must never return to the body; Only after being separated can the Devil Fruit ability be granted to the main body.

This ensures that when Lynch falls into the water as a Devil Fruit Ability, there will definitely be a non-Capable Person's stand-in "B.I.B" who will go into the water to rescue the main body.

But actually......

Lynch thinks that after he fell into the water just now, "B.I.B" has at least three ways to rescue him.

First, as I did earlier, put it on as a battle armor and let it swim up with the power of a stand-in.

Second, "B.I.B" directly dragged the limb body up and swam up.

Third......

"B.I.B" can directly take out the Devil Fruit Chip in the body and remove him from the status of a Devil Fruit Ability. Naturally, the body will not be "cursed" by the sea to become an unlucky landlubber......

However, "B.I.B" may have avoided the third point because he didn't want the redhead to know that it could disarm the Devil Fruit ability of the person with the ability.

Although this caution is dispensable in Lynch's opinion.

After all...... A handsome, upright, open-minded bigwig like the red-haired Shanks, even if Lynch is now telling him about things like crossing and telling all the secrets on his body, it's not a big deal at all.

People don't necessarily care about your secrets.

After the redhead heard about it, it was more likely that he just laughed.

"It's so convenient!" Shanks was surprised to hear Lynch's explanation, but not too surprised. Devil Fruit abilities can "overcome" the sea, and while it's rare, it's not impossible. For example, the Vice Admiral Kuzan I met before was one of them. For Kuzan, he could turn anything made of water into ice if he wanted to......

"But it's still relatively rare that you don't have any abilities after you fall into the water." Shanks pointed to the hollow ice surface that had just been touched by Lynch, "But the hole you made disappeared when you fell into the water...... It's weird, it seems paradoxical. ”

Lynch laughed, "It's not unreasonable for you to think of me as someone with multiple or two Devil Fruits." ”

"Will there be someone like that?" Shanks was surprised, "I thought I'd die instantly if I ate two Devil Fruits!" ”

Lynch said: "The sea is so big, there must be such people, right?" ”

And that kind of person will leave you with three scars on your face that you will remember for the rest of your life...... Supreme Red, that's your destined fate!

………………

In this way, the sea drift of the boy and the redhead continues......

Time passed, and the day was slanting westward.

Lynch fumbled for the newly arrived tube fruit, and before he knew it, the night slowly steamed on the surface of the sea, reflecting the stars in the sky.

After all, unlike the flowers and fruits that have seen a lot of usage in the comics, Lynch has never heard of this tube fruit that doesn't know what to do, so he naturally has to have a good time.

"Isn't this the crossing ring of Doraemon...... Could it be the inferior fruit of the Door Fruit? ”

Lynch was slumped on the broken wooden board tiredly, with a pitch-black "headset" embedded in his ear, and a "virtual screen" appeared in front of him, playing the memory of "B.I.B" "replayed" in front of him at this moment-

"What are you doing silly?"

Drifting on the sea in the middle of the night, Shanks was also bored, and he couldn't help but be very curious when he saw Lynch with Erlang's legs crossed and leisurely.

"Watch cartoons. Do you want to see it? With a flick of Lynch's finger, the B.I.B. helmet immediately disintegrated and buckled onto Shanks' head.

Through the white eyes of B.I.B., Shanks suddenly saw what was playing on what looked like a phone bug broadcast screen, and what cartoon was playing......

In the picture, a blue fat man took out a small hula hoop-like ring and pressed it against the wall, which suddenly opened up the wall and appeared a round hole.
