Chapter 209 The Lie From Years Ago
what is this?
Katakurimoto, who had let the boat dock not far from the pier, was still thinking about whether he was too soft-hearted, when some white lines flew in the sky.They enveloped the entire island, and together with the island, they formed a huge birdcage shape.If you're on the shore, you'll be trapped inside... This seems to be the ability of the Devil Fruit... or something?
Still looking up at the covered sky, he realized that these lines were slowly beginning to cut through the island and shrink in!What's going on... If this kind of density keeps shrinking, the whole Dressrosa will be finished, right?The guy who rushed into Dressrosa as soon as he docked just now, reminding himself of Fire Fist Ace also said...
He was going to fight Doflamingo.So is this the result of their fight?Fish dead and net broken? ?No way, I say!Mom won't accept this kind of ending, after all, Youxiang hasn't done what she wants to do!Mom won't allow her to die!
"We have to save her."
"Yes, otherwise Mom—?? Who are you??"
Because a voice suddenly came from beside him, Katakuri answered subconsciously, and realized that there should be no such person on board!As soon as he lowered his head, he saw a young man with black hair, white highlights on his bangs, and a hoodie.This guy... I saw it on the straw hat boy's boat before!
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Katakuri. I'm not a pirate, so we're not enemies."
It's not a question of whether you are a pirate or not!Katakuri said, "Why don't you have 'breath of life'?"
That's a really straightforward question.Matthew didn't like the question.However, those who do not know are not guilty.Forgive him the first time.Matthew thought so, and he replied: "Because I'm not a human being, I don't need to breathe, so there is no 'breath'. Mr. Katakuri."
"...Don't need to breathe??" Katakuri had never seen a creature that didn't need to breathe.He said, "Then what are you?"
"Almighty super-advanced artificial intelligence. The name of the model is about 75 characters long. Even if I say it, you can't remember it, and no one can remember it. Anyway, my name is Matthew. You can just understand me as a robot Yes." Matthew said such a long list, and then immediately got to the point, "Now I am with you, Mr. Katakuri. We all hope to rescue Miss Yuxiang."
"No... just wait for me." Katakuri forced the man to stop.He ignores the parts that are too outlandish (such as the robot), and asks the most basic question, "Aren't you a member of the Straw Hat crew?"
"No. I'm not a pirate." Probably.It seems that Mr. Kidd regards me as his subordinate, but I should actually be Ms. Yuka's 'servant'.So I am not a pirate, but an ordinary artificial intelligence servant.Matthew's logic is this.
"Do you know Youxiang?"
"Miss Youxiang is my master."
"Master...? All right. Isn't Youxiang a pirate?"
"She...well...you asked me." Matthew made a pensive look.In theory, she already is.However, her business license is probably still valid?Then she should be just an ordinary business fortune teller.However, she must be a member of the Kidd Pirates.This gets complicated.Matthew said, "But it doesn't matter, Mr. Katakuri. Anyway, you can't let Yuka-san die, right? Me too."
"........."
Let's just say this guy has a point.But, but ah! !He is really too suspicious!The word 'suspicious' is written all over his body, from his eyes to his tone of voice!But he had a point! !
It's been a long time since Katakuri struggled this much, and he even used his 'stunt' of seeing the future.But obviously, in the next few seconds, Matthew failed to say any useful information.Of course, he's mostly harmless, too.Harmless for at least the next few seconds.
"Okay, let me hear your plan first," Katakuri said.
"My plan is to rescue Miss Youxiang...but now we must first find out what happened on this island."
"By the way, how did you get on my boat?"
"Come up with Mr. Allen. It's just that you haven't seen me." I'm hiding in the corner over there.Matthew casually pointed at the position where he had been "standing naturally" until now, and he said, "As long as I don't speak, humans generally don't notice me." After all, I don't have a 'breath'.
"..." Okay, it's also my fault for relying too much on senses other than vision.Katakuri reflected for a while, and said, "This birdcage-like thing is obviously someone's devil fruit ability. Such a large range and the power to isolate the island frame, I'm afraid it was made by Doflamingo."
"Well... that's true." Matthew could see the 'birdcage' visually, but the other sensors all returned different information.First, this 'birdcage' doesn't obey the basic laws of physics.This kind of thing has not stopped since coming to this place, and Matthew is no stranger to it.Second, it does emit a very strong energy field.
If the satellite is still there, I can use orbital strikes to see how much it can be used... Maybe it will disappear after blowing up.Matthew thought of his 'untimely death' satellite, and his emotional module kicked into high gear again.If it wasn't because Matthew didn't install tear ducts for himself, he must have burst into tears by now.
"If I can contact Ms. Youxiang, I should be able to know the general situation. But my satellite has sunk into the bottom of the sea..." Ah... my satellite... Matthew is really sad.He forcefully ignored the sadness and continued, "In short, the communicators I gave her and others should all be useless now, unless... I can release enough detectors over Dressrosa."
"I don't know what you mean. Just tell me how to do it." Katakuri said, "You came to me because you couldn't do it alone."
"I'm starting to like you, Mr. Katakuri." Matthew raised his eyebrows, and he said, "I need the raw materials for making detectors. I used to make something similar with wax... If you have the ability to As for the molding material—"
"…………Mochi."
"what?"
Katakuri did not explain, but 'released' the mochi.One of his hands stretched out, forming something like a white mochi or rice cake.Matthew's gaze reveals the look of 'I'm desperate for this unscientific world'.However, this thing might actually work.
——"Miss Youxiang!!"
When Matthew's voice came, Youxiang was still hiding behind Frey, covering her head and squatting in defense, while covering her ears and hair to resist the shock wave and heat wave from the explosion not far away.But she did feel more at ease when she heard this voice: "Matthew!! Help!!"
"Aren't you still very energetic?"
"Huh?" Youxiang was taken aback for a moment.Other voices came from the communicator.This is... She thought for a while, and then raised her voice again, "Mr. Katakuri!! Help ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Then there was another gust of hot wind. Although I am quite confident in Ace and Sabo, it is too hot! !Youxiang took a breath: "Matthew!! Just now Dover seems to have activated something called a 'birdcage', which will keep shrinking and destroy the entire Dressrosa! He wants to kill everyone La!!"
"I know! We're out there looking at this!" Matthew replied, "So why the hell?! Aren't you his type?? Why is he doing this all of a sudden??"
"It has nothing to do with me!" Youxiang said, "It seems... It seems to have something to do with what happened ten years ago. I'm not sure, Matthew. When we were in Dressrosa, the residents here liked it a lot. It's Fo! According to them, Dover is not a vicious pirate at all, but a hero who saved Dressrosa."
That's right.It seems to have something to do with what happened ten years ago.It is said that ten years ago, the king of the Liku royal family who once ruled Dressrosa, Liku Dold III, suddenly went mad. After asking the people to donate all their money at night, he began to lead his army to brutally attack the people. massacre.
No one knew the reason for Riku III's madness. Before that, he was still a good king who loved peace and was trusted by virtue.It is said that the person who finally ended the massacre was Doflamingo, so people regard him as a hero.
"Is the truth revealed ten years ago?" Matthew asked.
"Yeah." Although Matthew couldn't see it, Youxiang still nodded, and she said, "It seems that in Dover's family... there is a person named Granose, who can erase people's memories in a certain way. You know If the person who told the truth back then would be wiped out immediately, and people's memories of him would be completely lost. For ten years, Dover seems to have used this method to cover up the truth. But..."
"But not long ago, someone...I think it might have been done by Mr. Usopp and Miss Robin. Granose should have been defeated. Her ability was invalidated, and people completely remembered being deceived in the past ten years. "
I see.That makes sense.Erasing other people's memories, people who continue to disappear...and, more and more toys.If these are connected together, the answer is——
"The person named Granu, her ability is probably to turn people into toys and at the same time erase the memory of this person in other people's minds. And the person who becomes a toy should also be controlled by Granu or other people, With considerable restrictions, it is impossible to tell the truth." Matthew analyzed, "Even if you tell, no one will believe it."
Because there is absolutely no information about the existence of this person in memory.Completely forgotten, or rather completely erased.People will just think of gibberish as a toy.This is really a terrifying and cruel ability.It is also because of this that the various resistance forces headed by Miss Violet dare not act rashly...
Once you miss, your existence itself will be completely forgotten, this kind of despair just thinking about it... no.Even with all these despairs, there are many people in Dressrosa who have not flinched.Humans, indeed, are creatures that will not give in and give up easily, and their tenacity is worth boasting about.
Matthew said: "Now that the sugar's ability is invalid, people think of the lost relatives and friends, and the people who have been turned into toys will release the despair and resentment of these years. I understand. Doflamingo launches the bird The reason for the cage is—as long as no one survives, it doesn't matter to him. Well, if it weren't for the fact that we weren't with him, I kind of liked the idea of him."
Youxiang already guessed that Matthew would say that, because he had said exactly the same thing before! !Really!Matthew the big bastard! !
"Is this the time to agree with the enemy? Matthew! Dover...he doesn't care about anyone in Dressrosa at all! He doesn't care about anything...he just wants...just to achieve his own 'revenge' '." Yes, this is revenge.Revenge against everyone in this world.
It didn't specifically target Dressrosa, because it wouldn't make any difference if it was replaced with any other island.No matter whose life it is, he has decided to give it up without authorization.Is it conceited?Maybe.After all, he does have this strength.
"He really wants to kill everyone here."
Youxiang emphasized, and she said: "So he won't take the initiative to stop the birdcage. We can only defeat him now, Matthew. It's the kind of defeat that knocks him unconscious for three days and won't wake up!"
"Matthew can't do this kind of thing anymore! Matthew doesn't have a satellite!!" Matthew also made a desperate voice, and he said, "Mr. Katakuri can't help! We probably can't do it anymore Go in, now you can only rely on yourself!"
"Think of a way, Matthew!!"
"Isn't there those three brothers? Let them think of a way with their heads! Their heads are iron!!"
Really!That's what Matthew would say at critical moments! !Youxiang poked her head out to take a look at the battle situation, and it turned out to be surprisingly evenly matched... Speaking of which, where did Mr. Luo and Lu Fei go?And that uncle named Cyrus... Ms. Rebecca in the arena is okay, right?Although it is expected that she lost to Sabo, Sabo shouldn't be particularly bad to her, right?
Miss Violet didn't see anyone either. She saw Zed just now, which meant that Miss Violet was also nearby... Everyone gathered here.Everyone……
They're here to stop you, Dover.
"Okay! Matthew! I've decided!!" Youxiang jumped up from the posture of crouching with her head in her arms, "I'm going to help everyone buy time now!!"
"Using sex to seduce?"
"That's not it!!" What strange things are you thinking, Matthew! !Youxiang said, "If the birdcage is shrinking from the outside to the inside, then it is time to evacuate the residents and move closer to the center! This can somewhat reduce casualties, and then... just believe that before it is too late, Luffy and the others can take as many It's enough to defeat Foo!"
"...I see." Just do what you can do now.Matthew said, "Your idea is correct. But this is all based on the premise that Mr. Luffy and the others can win."
"That's right~" Youxiang laughed, and she said, "That's why I am very confident! If there is only one, I might be worried, but... the three of them, no matter what, will not lose. Matthew."
--------------------
The author has something to say:
(without moons) Matthew, mostly harmless.
By the way, while this is a useless setup, Matthew's full model name is:
Unpredictable Artificial Intelligence Experiments from the Golden Stela-No.0730-ED
A total of 75 characters, actually need to occupy 82 characters (because there are spaces).Only the name that appeared in the planning book before planning to make him appeared only once, and since then everyone has only used Matthew, which seems to be a temporary name, to refer to him.Even the main chip has only the word Matthew engraved on it (because the model name is too long to fit).
Due to being addicted to the game, the number of manuscripts saved has become epic... Today's cover character has no prize quiz!Who is this navy! !
