NOVEL NEXT Chapter 25: 025 “I have a feeling we might hear legends about that Kirin on the sea soon”
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Yes."
Smoker fell silent. What had happened to Lynch to cause such a drastic transformation?
The terrifying pressure made him feel frightened by just seeing it.
"Lynch?" Hina looked worriedly at the terrifying creature in the distance.
Lynch noticed the frozen warship under his feet, and a rain of fire shattered the ice cleanly.
....
The story splits into two parts: the Red Hair Pirates are just fifty miles away from Lynch.
Shanks looked solemnly in the distance, his instincts told him that there was something terrifying there.
At that time, Redhair was only 24 years old, six years older than Lynch. Though not yet one of the Four Emperors, he was already famous in the New World.
"Hey~ Captain, what are you doing? We're here for a banquet."
Lucky Roux, rarely seeing the red-haired Shanks looking serious, approached with chicken legs in hand.
"Let's change course. The things ahead are not easy to mess with."
"I understand." Lucky Roux became serious and went back to tell the helmsman, he was completely trusting in the captain's judgment as always.
Not long after, Yasopp and Ben Beckman came over. Although there were not many people on the red-haired pirates, they were all elites.
"Hey boss, I'm here."
As a sniper, Yasopp had a keen eye and precise observation haki. He could keep watch over a designated point with precision.
In this way, although the observed range is not as comprehensive as usual, and only a small range can be seen, the advantage is that it is far away.
Simply put, it's like condensing the 360-degree circular view and color range into a single line.
According to the direction pointed by the red hair, Yasopp subconsciously opened the scope on his sniper rifle.
"Damn, that Kirin has a halo behind it!"
The next moment, Yasopp exclaimed, as if he had witnessed something incredible.
"Hey, hey, hey, Yasopp, are you drinking your head out? How can there really be such a legendary thing as Kirin?" Limejuice complained.
"I believe what Yasopp said, it wouldn't be surprising if it was a Qirin."
The red-haired Shanks pointedly reminded: "Have you forgotten that there is a blue dragon in New World?"
"You mean someone ate a Zoan Mythical Beast Species, Kirin form!" Limejuice exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant." The red-haired Shanks lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
"This is amazing. It's annoying enough to have a dragon in the New World, but now there's a Qirin..." Limejuice was troubled.
Yasopp set down his gun. "Boss, you're right. You should have seen how terrifying that Kirin is."
Yasopp was so frightened that he started sweating as he imagined the scene he just saw.
"I have a feeling we might hear legends about that Kirin on the sea soon," Shanks smiled.
"But for now, it's not the right time for us to meet him."
…
After releasing his pent-up energy, Lynch felt the excess power leave his body. He returned to his human form and landed on the deck.
All the Marines breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lynch, what just happened to you?" Smoker asked.
"Wait a minute, let me try the final human hand form first."
With a thought, Lynch's height skyrocketed to seven meters again, his hands and some important parts were covered by dragon scales, and there were two winding dragon antlers on his forehead that looked like deer antlers.
There are many sharp barbs protruding from the joints and other places, which looks very powerful.
However, regardless of the form, the black-red halo always remains behind him.
After some experiments, he transformed back into human form and looked down at the two little people in front of him.
"I was in the kitchen and saw an apple that looked like a Devil Fruit. I ate it, and that's how it happened."
Faced with Smoker's expression of "I believe you,"
Lynch laughed and patted his shoulder, "That's the story. If anyone asks in the future, just tell them that."
Smoker grinned as Lynch slapped him, the force of which almost knocked him apart.
"Sorry, sorry, I can't control the power properly yet."
"Lynch, can you change back to normal?"
Seeing Hina standing on tiptoes to reach Lynch's waist, she pursed her lips in frustration, almost being able to hang a soy sauce bottle on them.
Hina was very sad when she thought about not being able to kiss Lynch anytime in the future.
Five meters was just too tall.
"Should I be able to change back?" Lynch said uncertainly. "I feel like this fruit has many abilities. Just give me some time to get used to it."
About half an hour later, Lynch's height began to shrink from five meters back to his original height of 1.99 meters.
Sun Candle had mastered the power of Yang. After some experimentation, Lynch discovered two main functions of this power.
Firstly, his recovery ability was extremely fast. He cut his arm with a knife, and before he even put the knife down, the wound had already healed.
This powerful resilience made Smoker call him pervert.
The second ability is that he can control his height in his normal form, up to three times larger or smaller.
Now his normal height is 5 meters, which means his height can be converted at will between 1.6 meters and 15 meters.
15 meters… it was taller than Kaido.
"Great, you've changed back." Hina rushed forward excitedly.
"Good."
Lynch spent the next few days on the warship studying the power of the Sun Candle.
It takes half a month to reach East Blue from the Marine headquarters, and this is through the official World Government channel.
If we were to climb Reverse Mountain like pirates, it would likely take another three to five days, even without sacrificing the ship.
They say there's a whale blocking the path beneath Reverse Mountain.
Almost half of the new pirates who entered the Grand Line from the four seas died in these two levels.
"Colonel, I'm sorry. There's bad weather ahead, including a waterspout. Please take a detour,"
The ship's navigator hurried over to inform Lynch.
The sky in the Grand Line changes at a moment's notice. One second it's cloudless, and the next second there will be a heavy rainstorm, and people can never imagine what kind of weird weather will happen.
In the Grand Line, if it's not raining, there are lightning bolts as thick as barrels, rocks the size of hills falling from the sky, and hundreds of waterspouts forming barriers...
It can be said that the weather in Grand Line is more complicated than a woman's mind.
Without an experienced navigator, it would be a miracle to survive on the sea.
"Let's see how bad it is."
Lynch put down the ten-layer barbell in his hand and took the telescope from the navigator's hand.
He could see heavy rain pouring ten miles ahead, fist-sized ice rain falling continuously, and dozens of waterspouts carrying large amounts of sea water straight into the sky.
"How long will it take if we take a detour?"
"It's expected to take an extra three days of driving!"
Returning the telescope to the navigator, Lynch said calmly: "Don't worry about it, just move the ship over."
