[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 309 Prison Situation

got caught.

When he came back to his senses, he was already locked in Hailoushi's cage.Ace observed the surrounding situation. Because of the attack of giant sea kings, although the Golden Surf Seal finally escaped the crisis of capsizing, it was still stranded on the coast.Everyone was washed up on the beach. After all, most of them are capable people, so it's a good result if no one dies.

But Youxiang is gone... Sabo and Daddy are gone too!Although the dog and the man named Olu were not there, they didn't care!You have to get out of here right away, this kind of thing happens only when you recover, if she has a fever again, let’s see if I don’t boil this sea——

"I think you're fucking lying to me."

Matthew's voice interrupted Ace's thoughts.This one was placed in a huge sea building gabion in the center of the field of Shidan Island Village, and there was another person.Ace and the others didn't know this person, but surprisingly, Matthew knew him.

"Doctor. Hello. Look into my eyes." Matthew approached the man who looked to be in his 30s and [-]s, and he said seriously, "Who is that person who came with you? No way? Shouldn't it be Could it be the bastard I'm thinking of? You tell me the truth, Doctor. Or I'll link up with Shadow Protocol's systems right now and mess with their conning tower and destroy a few frigates."

"Don't do that kind of thing!" Why is it so easy to say! !The man whom Matthew called 'Doctor' had light brown curly hair, was thin, was white, and wore a shirt and a brown overcoat.He was sticking to the fence of the cage, and Matthew was almost on top of him, but he was still avoiding Matthew's gaze, "You won't like my answer! So why don't you ask!"

"It's really him." Matthew knew it!He showed an expression of extreme disgust, "Shouldn't he be tied to a hospital bed to treat the disease in his brain? Why is he here with you? Doctor? Tell me? Why did you escape from the hospital with a critically ill patient? Why would you do such a heartless thing?"

"Because he pointed a laser at my nose and threatened me."

"..." Damn it, is it so direct!Then I have nothing to say!Because you are so innocent!Matthew paused, "Forget it. I'll talk about that guy later. Let me introduce you, everyone. This is the doctor. Doctor, these are my current companions."

"Matthew... aren't you going to say a few more words?" Ace couldn't help asking.

"Hey..." Matthew sighed, and he said, "The doctor is the one who has a time machine as I said before. It is the ultimate solution. He is the last time lord, traveling between time and space, witnessing All the history. Then, doctor. You read it, and I will introduce it—"

Matthew stood on one side, and began to introduce Ace and the others one by one: "From here it's: brat, brat's younger brother is also brat, heartless businessman, heartless reformer, and heartless Witness doctor."

"Well, hello!" The atmosphere was awkward, and the doctor waved his hand hesitantly. He said, "I'm a doctor! It's a fate to meet here! Actually, I'm a little worried about my companion who was left on the coast. Find a way to get out!"

"... That's what I said, but there's no good way to do it right now." Luo was very happy that this person could get straight to the point, and it didn't really matter who he was.The important thing is that Youxiang is gone, "This is made of Hailoushi." Luo raised his hand to show the shackles on his hand.

"This is also Hailoushi." Yiji knocked on the fence of the cage, and he said, "Even with a battle suit, I can't handle this thing."

"I have no energy at all..." Luffy collapsed on the ground, he said, "And I'm hungry..."

"What the hell are the villagers trying to lock us in here for?" And why did the villagers have Hailoushi's cages and shackles... Ace muttered something, and found that at the edge of the field at dusk, someone seemed to be approaching.How should I put it, that person is a bit... weird.

His body was trembling and twisting unconsciously. From a distance, it looked like he was dancing some weird dance.

"I also think it's better to quickly find the lost companions." Just after Kagawa said this, he found that more and more people were dancing the same dance. They staggered around the field, just like the zombies in the story , the atmosphere is weird and scary.

"...Doctor. This place was like this when you came?" Matthew looked at those people, his eyes flashed some blue light, "By the way, why did you come here?"

"Because it's time to recharge the TARDIS! This island happens to be on a rift! Time travel also requires energy!" The Doctor replied, "However, when I was here last time, this island wasn't so weird. ..."

"Nervous dysfunction... involuntary movement. It's chorea." Matthew immediately made a diagnosis, "Don't be kidding, I said this is a savage tribe, but it's just a satire on human beings. Why did I have such a savage disease? ah!!"

"Matthew?" Ace didn't understand very well, he just felt that the group of people was a bit creepy now, "What do you mean? Are they... sick like that?"

"That's right, I'm sick. And very sick." Matthew sighed helplessly, and he said, "We have to find a way to get out of here. Ms. Youxiang and the others may, may be in danger. Doctor, you understand me Do you mean? You should know what kind of disease it is, right?"

"It's...not necessarily the cause of the illness we're thinking about! But you're right!" Gotta get out of here right away!The doctor ran to the fence of the cage to check the door lock, "No! My sonic screwdriver was taken away! Matthew! You don't have any... any laser function!"

"Ah!! Laser function!" That's right!some! !Matthew suddenly remembered!My new body has new functions!Apply for a new 'laser' function, improve the level of comprehensive services!Matthew also ran to the edge of the fence, and he immediately activated the laser function. As long as there is this, let alone sea stones, even Mandela metal—

Why?Wait, what the hell is this?

Hearing the laser or something, Luffy was a little excited, but he waited with all his strength, and in exchange for a stunned Matthew.

"Matthew?" Ace also called out to the stuck Matthew.

"This, this is..." Matthew looked at his hand, which was now illuminated with some blue and red flashes, "This is the laser vision correction function??!!"

asshole! !These bastards! ! !What about the laser! !Although this is also a laser!But you clearly know that what I want is not this kind of laser! ! !I said why I agreed so easily, it turned out to be because of this!These bastard humans! ! !Fuck I'm going to wipe out the Galactic Council! ! !

"Matthew!"

At this moment, a savior-like voice came over, and Youxiang sneaked out of the field: "Ace! Everyone!! Great! I found you!!"

"You Xiang!" Great, a truly reliable person has appeared!As soon as Ace saw Youxiang, he was relieved, "Are you okay? You fell into the sea... are you really okay?"

"Yeah! Zed and Olu protected me!" While Youxiang was talking, Zed and Olu also ran out from behind.Aulu frowned when he saw the strange 'dancing' people on the edge of the opposite field: "This place is too weird! Just let it be lifeless, what the hell is that?!"

"Master! Someone is coming!" Zed was about to go to the cage to check the lock when he heard the sound of someone approaching. He immediately grabbed Youxiang's hand and pulled her and Olu into the field. Among the tall ears of wheat.

Sure enough, after a while, several people with farm tools as weapons walked over from the opposite side together.They looked like ordinary farmers, male and female.The leader among them was a middle-aged man with long gray hair. When he saw the person in the cage, he took a half step back in surprise: "You, you are... this clothes... you are Jie." Erma's...?"

"…………?"know me?Yiji looked at the man a little strangely.Unlike others, he did not feel the weird atmosphere of this village.I don't feel hairy or anything.

"Germa, what are you doing on this island again... Aren't we all abandoned..." The middle-aged man muttered, and he calmed down after a while. He looked at the people in the cage and said: " Although I don't know why you are here, I want to discuss one thing with you."

"Before that, I have to confirm one thing." Matthew interrupted the man, he said, "Are you eating people?"

"!!?" I don't know whether he was hit or felt that the question was too impactful, the man didn't speak immediately.He seemed to calm down before speaking: "I don't know what you're talking about. We just want to live in peace here. Isn't the people outside doing enough to us?"

"We don't intend to disturb your peaceful life!" The doctor said hurriedly before Matthew mentioned the matter just now, "We really just came here by chance! If you are willing to let us go, we promise to leave immediately of!"

"No. We're not leaving. We're here to find answers." Matthew immediately corrected the doctor's statement, "If there isn't an answer, then we're not leaving."

"Looking for an answer? What answer requires the use of Germa...they just start a war, don't they?"

"I'm not happy when you say that." Yiji said that if I don't speak, will you pretend that I don't exist?He said, "Germa's commission has always been to stop the war. What's more, if Germa really wants to, you won't be able to stand outside the cage and talk to me."

"...Then what are you guys here for? There are still a group of pirates on the coast, right? There is nothing in this place worth plundering by pirates. Even the golden navy in the sky will not come to collect it."

"us--"

"Do you eat people? Answer me."

Matthew interrupted the others again. He was obsessed with this question. He stared sternly at the people outside the cage and said, "It's okay if you don't answer. Forget it. I've got the answer myself. This field The manure contains a large amount of human tissue and calcium mixture, but it is not enough to make up a whole human being, so where does the rest go?"

"You, what are you..."

"Those people over there...are they released for a walk together? More and more people have become like that."

"Why would you—"

"Do you know a man named Ned White?"

"What? Ned he..."

"He died. He was transformed into a monster that is neither human nor ghost, a war machine that is more terrifying than Germa. He used to live here, right? Why? Why did he become the agent of the Tianlong people? He Was it voluntary?"

"Wait for me!" With so many questions raised at once, what's going on with this man... The man was a little flustered, he interrupted Matthew forcibly, and then took a few steps back before speaking again, "We didn't Cannibalism! Those, those people are just sick...they did nothing wrong. We did nothing wrong! Ned...Ned too."

"...We have come here to find the truth about Ned White. We will defeat him and save his soul from that ironic shell. Just as you eat your own dead same body."

"No, wait, we really didn't eat people!!"

"Tsk, don't explain. The story will be better if you admit it."

"what??"

"—You are still the same, Matthew." Just when the conversation was getting weirder, a voice came from the field.Youxiang and the others who were eavesdropping found that the voice came from behind them?Turning around quickly, he saw a blond man appearing there at some point, with a lazy smile on his face, watching Youxiang wink at her, and then walked out.

Matthew looked at the person who came out, and had no intention of speaking at all, but showed an expression of extreme disgust.

"Who are you - oh?!!" The middle-aged male villager just wanted to ask, when he was suddenly knocked down by this man!His accomplice was taken aback, and he was stunned for a second before reacting to help, but it was too late, and the next second they themselves fell to the ground with severe pain in their cheeks and heads! !

"Mr. Lanter!"

"Heh, you are still the same, Colonel." Matthew pushed away the doctor who wanted to talk, and said first, "Don't pretend to be shit, let us out quickly. Why did you wait so long? Have you gone drinking? Or Sudden Intermittent Adult Dementia Lost?"

"Is this your attitude towards a person who wants to save you??"

"Come on and open the door for me!!"

What's the situation, who is this person... Ace looked at them, and then looked back at Luo.Luo shrugged, expressing how he would know what was going on.Fortunately, when Matthew was arguing with this person, Youxiang found the keys from the villagers lying on the ground, and helped everyone open the door and the shackles of Hailoushi.

Before anyone else could say anything, Matthew strode out of the cage, bent down and picked up a pitchfork, a farm tool that the villagers had just dropped, with both hands, and stabbed at the blond man without saying a word: "You Why is the bastard here?!"

However, this fork was dodged by the man, and the man was not to be outdone, and punched Matthew with a punch: "I ran out of the hospital with my ability (laser□□)!! What's the matter with you?!"

"Too slow!!" Matthew also dodged the punch, and at the same time grabbed his hand and pulled him towards his raised knee, "Your shit-like body is no match for me now!!"

"What nonsense is a sex-love robot!!!" The man shot back again, "By the way, this white hair doesn't suit you at all!! It's so ugly!!!"

"...You are almost enough!!" Matthew also dodged this man's attack again, and at the same time punched this man's face hard, and grabbed his collar the moment he stepped back He brought him back, "If you don't get treated in that hospital, you will die!! Why do you think I came to this kind of planet! Who the hell do you think I am for?!"

"People will die, Matthew. Are you still unable to accept this?" The man calmed down a lot now. He wiped the blood from Matthew's beating on his mouth and said flatly, "The alliance no longer needs Me. It's okay. That's it Matthew."

"No. They need you. Humans still need you." Don't be kidding... how is it possible, how is it possible to just let you like this... Matthew first said a few words like this, and then raised his voice again, "The Midsummer Night needs You!! Do you think your life is yours alone, bastard?!! Where's Gray?! Where's Dr. Michele?? Did you abandon them all and run away here???"

"Grey returned to his hometown. Dr. Michelle also went to Memorial Hospital. Matthew." The man held Matthew's wrist as he spoke, "The same goes for everyone else. Even you." He gestured Behind Matthew, he looked at Matthew's companions who were surprised, confused and worried, "You can live well without me."

"I..." I'm not here to 'have a good time'.Are you a fool?Matthew let go of the man who might have been doomed from the start.He took two steps back, and said, "But I'm an AI. I can't live without a captain. That's what I'm made for, what I'm made for—don't even deny that to you, Colonel."

"Aren't you the one who didn't make any progress, Matthew?"

"I said, this part of my program is the same as the truth, it is impossible to grow. Sorry, you deleted it!"

"Hey... I know what you mean. I know what you're thinking, Matthew. That's why I escaped from the hospital, kidnapped Dr., and tried to find you. When Dr. Michelle told me that you made a deal with the Council I knew you were doing something stupid."

"Don't compare me with you, I won't do stupid things! Everything I do is the best choice!"

"That's stupid, Matthew. Whether you admit it or not. Doing Pilates every day and sleeping in a machine just to get me to live in something like a nursing home isn't saving me, It's slow murder!"

"That's not fucking Pilates, and that machine doesn't let you sleep in it!" This bastard is so mad at me... what to do... the circuit of Qi is going to be blown! !Turn off the emotion module!Immediately!Just as Matthew was about to do this, he found that Youxiang carefully approached him and pulled his sleeve.

Her big colorless eyes looked at herself worriedly.Matthew sighed helplessly: "I don't have time to care about you now. Do whatever you like. Colonel Turing."

"Really?" That's great!I happen to—

"Fake. Get the fuck out of here and go back to the hospital. Otherwise, I'll steal the No.17 Fleet from the Alliance and escort you back. Think about how you want to squat in the cell of the No.17 Fleet. As he said this, Matthew took Youxiang by the hand and led her away, "Okay, Miss Youxiang. Let's stay away from the idiot, so as not to be infected with the idiot virus by him."

"Matthew... Could that person be Matthew's master?"

"My master is you, Miss Youxiang."

"Before?"

"Ah, that's right. It was the previous owner of the idiot. Why would I let that idiot be the owner? I'm really crazy."

Ah, what should I do... It seems that the relationship is not good, but, no... It should be said that Matthew is very worried about that person, right?From the conversation just now, we can hear a little bit of information. It seems that Matthew left his hometown and came here because of that person...

"Matthew, is it not good to quarrel?"

"I'm not fighting with anyone. I'm just doing Matthew."

There is no way to refute! !What should I do... Youxiang raised her head to look at the people swaying strangely on the side of the field, and she couldn't help but feel fear.It's getting dark, so don't stay in this place.She said: "Well, Matthew... We met acquaintances on the coast, and now we go back there with everyone?"

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

The author has something to say:

Matthew served his sentence in exchange for treating his former master.

By the way, Matthew cannot have such a thing as 'love' for humans.He may not have such feelings himself, and he himself cannot fall in love with humans for historical reasons.Therefore, although it seems a little gay, Matthew only has the feeling of bondage between humans and humans for his former master, plus a little bit of artificial intelligence's obsession with humans.There will be nothing that cannot be described.And, while Matthew appears masculine, he is essentially genderless.

In the next chapter, back at Shanks' camp, Grandpa's pad punch is ready.
