50 West Blue Kingdom

Hotel.

Lynch was pulled onto the bed by the girl.

"Listen to me, there's no need for this. It's very dangerous to follow me. It's best for you to be alone."

The girl bit her lower lip, put her hands on her chest, and stepped closer to Lynch

"Hundred Flowers!" 

The girl intertwined her hands, and white palms appeared all over the room. "I am also a Devil Fruit user and I won't drag you down, so don't leave me behind."

Lynch was completely taken aback by her Devil Fruit ability.

Isn't this Robin's ability?

Roddy...Robin...

It turns out that the girl in front of him is Robin!

"As long as I can stay, I'll do anything," Robin said.

"Okay, you can stay," Lynch replied. 

"But let me warn you, it's very dangerous around me."

Robin, who can read ancient texts, was exactly the kind of people Lynch needed.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of danger."

When she heard that she could stay, Robin smiled like a flower.

That night, Lynch and Robin rested well in the hotel.

The next morning, Lynch woke up early, only to find that Robin had already been up for some time. 

She had bought a table full of delicious breakfast.

Lynch thought that having Robin as a secretary might not be a bad idea. 

He ate his breakfast while planning their next steps.

After being missing for two and a half months, the Marines must think he's lost or even dead. 

With almost three months having passed, there's no need to rush things now. 

Instead, he should focus on quickly completing his task of becoming a king.

Seeing that the three-year period is approaching, if it is not completed, it will be considered a failure. 

The other half of the world transfer scroll has already been sent to West Blue by a bounty hunter. 

Everything is set; all that's needed now is money. The next task is to make money and buy a kingdom.

"I need to go out for a bit. Stay here and don't wander around," Lynch said.

"Okay, I understand," 

Robin replied, putting away the dishes and giving Lynch a sweet smile.

After arriving in town, Lynch first wrote a letter to let Hina and Sister Gion know he was fine. 

After some thought, he wrote another letter to Smoker.

He had asked Smoker to look for "Kuro" over a year ago, but wasn't sure if Smoker had found him yet. 

With Smoker being a Logia user, capturing Kuro should be easy if he's found. 

Lynch then asked some local shops for newspapers from two and a half months ago and some eternal pose

If he sacrificed himself to save others, the Marines would definitely publicize it to showcase their justice. 

As expected, Lynch found his name on the front page of one of the newspapers.

[Rear Admiral Lynch Fights Kaido Alone to Cover Soldiers' Escape.]

With a title like that, the story must be incredibly moving and able to make people cry.

Lynch looked confused.

Why didn't he know that he was stabbed twice in order to save the retreating soldiers?

Sengoku, this old fox, is dishonest.

He silently criticized Sengoku's behavior.

At the end of the newspaper, it read: "[Rear Admiral Lynch was killed in action (suspected). In recognition of his bravery, he has been posthumously named Vice Admiral.]"

Finally, some good news—he got promoted.

In the New World, as long as you have the skills, there are business opportunities everywhere.

With his flying abilities, it will be easy navigating in the Seas, so goes directly toward the New World

Lynch accepted several Marine bounty missions and began hunting down pirates

Within just two weeks, he had taken down over ten major pirates, amassing a total of 2.8 billion beli.

"I'm going to West Blue. Would you like to come with me?" 

On this day, Lynch returned to the island where he had left Robin and explained the purpose of the world transfer scroll. Robin was amazed by what she heard.

"That's incredible, such a thing exists?"

"Of course I want to come. Don't even think about leaving me behind."

"Alright, hold my hand."

Lynch packed the 2.8 billion beli into a suitcase and got ready.

After checking the mark, Lynch grabbed Robin's hand and used the teleportation scroll.

The two of them suddenly felt dizzy.

When they came back to their sense, they were already in West Blue.

Lynch picked up the other half of the scroll and placed it carefully.

Going from Grand Line to West Blue in an instant was a huge shock to Robin.

"Let's see, we're now in the Kingdom of Barenque," 

Lynch said, pulling out the prepared scroll to check their location. 

The bounty hunter had delivered it as promised.

"Let's find out where the palace is first," 

Lynch said. He chose the Kingdom of Barenque because it was not yet in a dire strait

The reason why the king was eager to sell the kingdom was because he was too arrogant and unsuitable to manage the kingdom.

The more important thing is that he, the king, felt deeply aggrieved.

There is a town called Sin Paradise in the kingdom, which is full of villains.

Every now and then the king would be threatened with death letters and extorted money.

The young king's mentality collapsed.

The previous king had tried to send troops to deal with Sin Paradise, but he died before he could succeed.

In this way, the young king wanted to throw away the problem and run away.

However, these problems are not a problem for Lynch.

What a perfect start.

After finding the kingdom's palace, Lynch and Robin sneaked in late at night. 

Robin quickly took care of a few three-legged cat guards. 

When the sleeping king woke up and saw a sword at his neck, he was so terrified that he wet himself.

"No, tell me what you want. How much money?" 

"Don't kill me. There's a gold bar under my pillow. Take it. You can come back later for more, just let me live," the king pleaded.

Lynch and Robin exchanged glances and almost laughed.

This level of proficiency is often robbed.

It is indeed the most chaotic West Blue, and the scenery is different.

"Keep your heart calm," 

Lynch said, tapping the king's head with the back of his sword. "I used the sword just to set the stage for our next conversation."

"Emm... Tell me what you have to say." 

It was the first time for the king to encounter such a civilized bandit, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"Alright, I'll get straight to the point"

"I heard you want to sell the throne. What's the price?"

When he heard that he was here to buy the throne, the king immediately changed his face.

"Two... no, ten billion—at least ten billion!" 

The king gritted his teeth and quoted a high price

Though his kingdom was worth more, he wanted to escape the situation quickly. 

Lynch, uninterested in small talk, drove Dragon Slayer into the ground.

"I'm not going to bargain. You know why you're selling the kingdom."

"Among everyone in West Blue, I'm the only one bold enough to take over your kingdom."

"Here's my offer: two billion Baileys."

"With that money, you could live comfortably as a rich man for the rest of your life."

"Uh..."

The king hesitated.

On one hand, the amount Lynch offered was too low. On the other hand, the king feared he might be trapped there forever if he didn't accept. 

Seeing the king's uncertainty, Lynch decided to push harder.

"Seeing how desperate you are, I'll offer you 2.5 billion beli."

"Deal!" 

The young king quickly shook hands, fearing Lynch might change his mind. 

Such opportunities were rare for him.

He never wanted to meet the criminals in Sin Paradise again. 

Robin looked at Lynch with admiration, realizing that his skill was so impressive it was like getting a kingdom for nothing.
