[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 305 The Story the Crow Tells

Rossi felt that Dover must have said strange things to Youxiang again.Not to mention it is fake Dover.

In fact, many times, Rossi was a little envious of Dover.Not his bad parts, but some advantages that can only be discovered by observing with a normal heart.For example, he is very confident.This confidence is not blind.Before he knows anyone else so well, he knows himself so well.As long as he says he can, he really can.

This is probably a natural ability.Unfortunately, even as a brother, Rossi did not inherit these.Dover was always good, he could do anything he wanted.and……

When he wants to do it, he doesn't back down.

Rossi doesn't know if he will be afraid, but if it is him, he must dare to tell Youxiang the truth.He must dare to tell Youxiang all his thoughts.

What did he tell you about the cabbage?Don't you... like him a little bit?

Rossi looked at Youxiang who was asleep in her arms, raised her hand and gently smoothed her hair.The pure white hair was soft and thin, and the eyelashes that had also turned white trembled a little.Did you sleep well?cabbage?Have you left Dover?Didn't he do weird things?

Look at me too... talk to me more.I'm a little bit lonely.However, this is fine now.Now that I can feel your temperature, I am satisfied.

"Uh... Rosie..."

"cabbage!"

Cold? !Ah, because I wanted to look at her face, I accidentally hugged her less tightly. Is it because of the wind blowing in?Rossi immediately tightened his arms subconsciously, rubbed his eyes with Youxiang, and said half asleep, "Didn't you arrive?"

"Well, it's not here yet." It's still on the flying dragon.It hasn't been long.Rosie tightened her clothes to make You Xiang warmer, he said, "Does the cabbage feel cold? Or is there something uncomfortable?"

It's a little bit cold.But... Youxiang didn't say it because she could feel that Rosie was a little nervous and worried. She shook her head and said, "I'm hungry, Rosie."

"We'll be back on the boat soon." Rosie smiled, and he said, "Would you like to be patient a little longer?"

"..." Youxiang nodded, didn't say anything, just raised her hand to touch Rossi's face.It's a bit cool, does he feel cold too?Rossi didn't say anything, he looked at Youxiang and smiled happily, as if little stars were popping out.

"It's almost there, both of you." Bazel said something to remind the two of them that he was still there. Seeing that, Agonmede glided through the clouds, and the blue sea appeared in front of him. Soon Yes, the shadow of the Sonny also appeared in the distance. Those who have wings fly fast, but if they rely on ships to sail, I don't know how long it will take.

After getting close to the Sonny, the first thing I saw was Luffy standing on the bow and waving happily to this side. Agonmede first passed the Sonny at a low altitude, then circled back, and then slowed down. It landed on the sea next to the Sonny.

"Come back! Dragon!" Luffy greeted Agonmede first.In fact, compared with Luffy, Argonmede is more like a decent human being.If she has a human form, then she must be an intellectual woman wearing a noble and elegant long dress, looking at Luffy like a well-educated distant relative looking at a child who has not grown up.

"Xiangxiang~~~"

Before he had time to say anything, Luffy stretched out his arms and grabbed Rossi and Youxiang, and 'flyed' over directly!He crashed headfirst into Youxiang's arms and almost took Rossi into the sea!

"Luffy!" I was really shocked!Youxiang called him in surprise, but seeing his smiling face raised his head, he couldn't help but also laughed, "I'm back! Did you worry?"

"Well, Sabo has been meowing!" Luffy began to complain, "He's still tickling me! I don't know what he's talking about... By the way, Xiangxiang found a way to transform Sabo back ?"

"Yeah. I found it." Youxiang said, "Let's go to the boat first and talk to everyone!"

"Hey..." Luffy didn't know why he suddenly laughed, he looked at You Xiang and said, "Hold on to me!"

"Huh?" Before Youxiang could react, suddenly she was picked up by Luffy and flew back to Sonny with a catapult!Luffy basically didn't have any aim, he bumped into someone on the Sonny with Youxiang, and then the three of them rolled on the deck together before stopping——

"Luffy--!!!!"

Before the Ace man could get up completely, his fist had already hit Luffy on the head. Although Youxiang was frightened, but she was not injured for the time being. She just got up half of her body when a small group of fluffy hairs ran from the side. into her arms.Sabo Meow grabbed Youxiang's clothes with her small paws, rubbed her furry head vigorously, and made a meowing sound.

Youxiang felt that if he was an ordinary kitten, he must be crying.She picked up the kitten, rubbed his face and said, "I made you worry, I'm sorry, Sabo. I'm fine. Look! Agent Youxiang successfully returned to the team!"

Lie, lie, lie!Hands are so cold!It's so hot, you don't feel comfortable at all! !Why can't I catch up every time!Various accidents occur every time!It's so sad... My heart seems to be caught by something, the little cat's heart can't stand this kind of blow at all!Ace!Come and see her, come and hug her! !

This is too cute...Although I don't know what he's talking about, but this little paw is too...too unbearable! !Youxiang grabbed Sabo Meow's little paw. He is a warm yellow kitten with brown markings, but there is a section of white fur on the paw, as if wearing a 'white glove'.

The meat pad is pink, very soft when pinched, and the little paws are also fluffy, I really want to stick it on my face~~~

"Meow! Meow!!" What have you become, why are you still in the mood to lick cats? !Sabo meowed anxiously, he used his small paws to hold Youxiang's face, and then started to yell at Ace, "Meow!! Meow! (Ace! Come here quickly!)"

"Did you listen to me, you brat—uh!"

Ace didn't notice this at all, he was still wrestling with Luffy, but at this moment, Grandpa kicked Ace in the face with a meow flying kick, which brought him back to his senses: "Dad ?! I'm teaching Luffy a lesson! So..."

"Meow!" Grandpa Meow stood on the deck, pointed his little paw, and Ace stopped fighting with Luffy immediately, but it was too late now, Luo had already ignored the three brothers who were too noisy, and came to There is Xiang beside: "Do you have a fever? It's okay, I'll treat you. Give me your hand."

"Luo, Mr. Luo... I'm fine." Because Sabo Meow saw Luo approaching now and threw herself back into her arms, Youxiang was a little distracted, "It's just that she might have been a little bit disturbed when she was in Marie Gioia." The impact, Frey also said that it will be better in a while."

"Do you want to listen to the doctor or the devil? You Xiang, do you have to think again?" Luo said and helped You Xiang up from the deck, and said, "Come here, I'll see you. "

Mr. Doctor is so fierce~~ Youxiang puffed her mouth, and she followed Luo obediently into the cabin while pinching Sabo Meow’s little paw.On the way, Nami came over and put a coat on her: "Hey... Really, that guy Luffy... Xiangxiang, you didn't get hurt just now, right?"

"Yeah. I'm fine, Ms. Nami." It's not really hard, it's just a little cold.Youxiang smiled wryly, "Let everyone wait for me here for so long..."

"What are you talking about, aren't we companions?" Nami replied, "And things have to be solved one by one. It's useless to rush to the next destination."

"However, if you want to restore Grandpa and Sabo to their original state, you have to go to another island... Luffy and Ms. Nami, you still have to go to Wano Country?" After all, Mr. Usopp and the others have already gone first, It's dangerous to keep everyone waiting that long, isn't it?After all, everyone is not here to play...

Youxiang was still thinking about it, so Luo said, "We don't have to act together all the time, let the Straw Hats go to Wano Country first, and we can go to the next island on the Surf Seal."

"It would be better for Mr. Luo to go to Wano Country earlier?" After all, Bear and the others also need a captain.Youxiang said, "Me, Ace and Matthew are enough. I just went to a small island, and I don't think there will be any danger..."

"I want to be with you."

"........."

This Tela man is too straightforward!Nami hugged Youxiang who was a little flustered, looked at Telanan with disgust and said, "You should do something serious first, I call Dr. Telanan!"

What the hell is Doctor Tela called?Luo complained in his heart, he didn't say anything, he first let Youxiang sit down when he entered the cabin, then he pulled a chair in the dining room and sat opposite Youxiang, and took the medicine he had prepared earlier Box (borrowed by Chopper).He took out his stethoscope and examined You Xiang in a professional manner.

"It's just that the body temperature is a little high, and no other more serious problems have been found." It should be the same as the demon said.It's just because the barrier is unstable, so the body's discomfort is affected.In this way, the world of dreams is indeed of no benefit to human beings.Luo said, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

"Just a little tired..." Youxiang shook her head, she said, "Where's Matthew?"

"He's working on an invention or something." Will come up later.Luo said, "I can cure you too. Don't worry."

I'm not doubting Mr. Luo's ability... Youxiang smiled, and she said, "Mr. Luo, don't worry about me so much?"

"Why don't you worry me?" Luo was a little angry, but it wasn't angry at Youxiang, he was just angry at why Youxiang had to go through these things.From this point of view, it is inevitable that she will often get sick like this, "You need to follow the doctor's advice, you know? Go and wear more now."

"But I still have something to say to Matthew! And the information I just got—"

"Tell me all the information now, and then I will relay it to others, Miss Youxiang." At this moment, Matthew's voice came, and he climbed up from the lower deck of the cabin, "If you don't take a good rest If so, Mr. Luo will tie you to the bed, huh?"

"Matthew..." I don't know why I became super at ease after seeing Matthew.Youxiang stretched out his hand to him, and Matthew hugged her helplessly: "The body temperature is 37 degrees 9, before it gets worse, let's finish talking quickly, Miss Youxiang."

"I see~~" Matthew likes to get straight to the point.Youxiang said, "I found some clues on the way back, Matthew."

Youxiang told Matthew all the information she got from Dover, but because Luo was here, she didn't say much about Dover.Matthew didn't care too much about the source of the information.The location of the most important home island of the white knight is already known.Nothing else is too urgent right now...

After all, with the ability of the White Knight, it is impossible for ordinary people to defeat him under normal circumstances.He's the one character who gets a railgun in the face and is almost unscathed.It is wiser to change tactics now and take the opportunity to stay away from him.However, there is one thing in this information that Matthew is very concerned about.

He said, "Miss Youxiang, what you said about the crow and the symbol...can you describe it again?"

"Well..." Youxiang nodded, and she said, "It is said that when people first discovered the island where the White Knight's hometown was, the crows on it could talk. But later, a small blue house arrived. On that island, the crow returned to normal... People also drew the symbol of the little house on the island. Like this. I don't quite understand, Matthew, is this some kind of fable?"

"No... If it's not different from what I think, this is not a story, but... a description of the facts." Literally.Matthew said, "Did you know that crows are very intelligent birds? They are one of the few animals that can quickly understand the use of mirrors. What if I said that they are far more intelligent than humans think?"

"How smart are you?"

"Smart enough to talk." Matthew raised his eyebrows, and he said, "But they don't say everything. Before something happens, they will say certain words to remind forgetful humans to remember something. Yes. But that was so long ago that humans have forgotten that crows can talk and thought they were just chirping meaninglessly."

"Wait. Are you saying that the crows are not simply communicating in their own language, but in... human language?" Luo asked incredulously, "What are they talking about?"

"Singing and remembering. As I said, before something happens...they can say many words, but after that thing happens, they can only say the same word. This is the crow's cry now ” Matthew spread his hands, he said, “This is difficult for human beings to understand. But it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, there are such strange things in the universe.”

"Sing and remember what?"

"A name. They call out the name of a person. Because that person sacrificed himself for the world, choosing to join an eternal battle to protect. But, that's another story. We don't now It's okay to know. We don't care about this matter at all." Matthew pouted, he said, "What I care about is the little blue house. That thing is not a little house."

"I don't understand, Matthew..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. In short, that little house is not a bad thing or a bad person." Matthew said lightly, "It's better to say that we are safe just because it came. Since the hometown of the White Knight has welcomed it , which means that there are no things happening that are unacceptable or unhandled by our capabilities.”

"So... that tiny house is a 'solution' to something we can't live with or don't know how to do?"

"That's right. It's a solution. It's like going to a doctor when you're sick. If something happens beyond our ability and cognition, you need to find the solution of the small house. As a solution It is no one's enemy."

That said, don't worry about it, do you?Youxiang said: "The hometown of the White Knight is actually not very dangerous... At least it won't be in danger because of this small house...is it?"

"Yes."

"What exactly is that little house, Matthew?"

"It's a time machine."

"…………what?"

"There is a very strange but knowledgeable person in it. He can use this time machine to travel through time and space, shuttle between the stars and history, and witness the stories of everyone. He is a very foul, but extremely lonely person. Matthew shook his head, and said, "I've seen him a few times. He's not a bad guy, so we don't have to worry about him. He will probably avoid us."

"But time machines are so cool..."

"Yeah. The time machine is cool."

Looking at the audience who sighed in this way, Matthew sighed, and said: "Even if we go there now, we may not necessarily meet him. And I have said that I don't care about him at all. This information has nothing to do with the White Knight. How about Said that it has nothing to do with us. It is invalid information! Miss Yuka!"

"Hey~~~Why is this! It's too much, Matthew~~" Youxiang let out a disappointed voice, "I thought it would be powerful information! After all, I don't understand everything!"

"If you don't understand, it doesn't prove that it's great! It just proves that there are no moths on this planet. Things are all within a reasonable and controllable range." That's what I said, but in fact there is still a key piece of information missing. A little clue.That is... what is the outer shell of the white knight made of? ?

How much can you think of the source of Beska metal? Where did you get the outer shell of the spaceship?Besides the spaceship of Youxiang, have other spaceships ever visited this planet?This seems to explain the incredible performance of the White Knight.

Matthew said: "Okay. Miss Youxiang, you should go to rest. Your temperature has risen to 38 degrees now. Mr. Luo, you are a doctor, and I will leave it to you."

"Hey..." Isn't this getting more and more serious!Luo sighed, "Go to bed obediently now, Youxiang. You go back to your room first, Tony and I will make some medicine for you. Wait for me."

"I see..." Youxiang replied compromisingly, and then she said to Matthew, "Matthew... the man with the time machine, can you help me? If you can go back to the past..."

"Miss Youxiang. It's a pity that even he can't change history. Even if he can go back to the past, he can only stand aside and watch what should happen, and can't do anything. Rather, he can't do anything. It is meaningless. Because that is already destined to happen." Matthew shook his head, he moved closer to Youxiang and said:

"That's why I say that he is a very lonely person. For him who can travel through time and space, he is like a bystander, and he can only be a bystander forever. Everyone and everything flow from him like flowing water. Flowing around. I think, this is the price of eternity."

I see.This is eternity.When time is meaningless to you, you can only be a bystander.Everything has nothing to do with you, all people, all feelings, all those precious things, because time becomes meaningless and meaningless.

So the devil wants something meaningful as a price?Is that why they choose those precious things as sacrifices?Because of the 'eternal' they desperately want those things, want those things to fill their loneliness and emptiness.

Thinking about it this way, the person with the time machine would indeed be very lonely.After all, he is not a devil, nor is he a bad person, that is to say, he is not even allowed to plunder those meaningful things.He can only watch, forever... Alone, watching all this.

"It's kind of sad, Matthew."

"Yeah, for higher life forms, this is really too cruel. However, sometimes people will choose this way of life... Maybe it is a last resort, maybe it is fun. After all, we have memories, No matter how you walk through the torrent of time, there will eventually be some water sticking to your body, leaving some precious memories."

"Ah."

That's right.Although those memories will not be eternal.But it won't be singular either.There must be many, many similar memories, which are constantly superimposed in eternity, so that people who are lonely can look forward to the future.People can't change the past, but they can always lead to the future.

"As long as we keep going, the future exists."

Matthew said this suddenly, and then he straightened up and said, "Please go to rest as Mr. Luo said, Miss Youxiang. Leave the other things to me."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Accidentally wrote too much... a little bit to help everyone set up:

1. There used to be a legend that crows could speak in the hometown of the white knight.

2. Then one day, the crows suddenly stopped speaking human words, because something happened somewhere, a hero-like figure sacrificed himself to save the world, so the crows began to only speak the name of this person to commemorate he.Gradually, people thought it was the cry of a crow.

3. This story tells us that this planet (the planet of pirates) is also protected by heroes, and it is a place where time machines can reach.So the symbol of the time machine (the little blue house) is painted in many places on this planet, indicating that it has been here many times.

Knowing this is enough.That's what it means.Mainly to draw out the time machine and its owner, and to connect the time machine with something in Wano!Please look forward to the announcement of the follow-up plot!

Here is further reading:

This part of the setting comes from the "Doctor Who" episode.In the episode, the protagonist takes a time machine to a world long, long ago.However, something happened there, that is, a crack was created in the space, and monsters from different dimensions would rush out of the crack to slaughter humans and devour everything.Because the flow of time in another dimension is different from our world, so as long as someone enters another dimension and blocks the monster at the crack door, even if it is just for a second, our world can get peace for a long, long time.A hero (a girl in the series) is willing to sacrifice herself, she takes a sword and walks into the crack, and begins a protracted, almost eternal battle with the monster.Then our world will be safe.In honor of the hero who may still be fighting monsters to this day, the crows will only call her by her first name.That is the crow we hear now.

It's a very romantic story!I like it so much!As I said before, I actually don’t want to put together too many things, but when I saw the plot of time travel in Wano Country, my brain didn’t hold back, and I thought of a plot that I really, really want to write! !And basically it only uses the time machine in "Doctor Who", and does not involve other plots. The center still revolves around Wano Country, which is what I think is a very wonderful brain hole.I hope everyone can get to my point in the future! !
