[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 471 Natural Obstacles

Miss Youxiang is very tired.

Frequent transfers are more exhausting for her than she imagined.Sure enough... It is not a good thing to have a deeper connection with that dream world.It seems that he has obtained new skills, but it is at the cost of physical consumption.In other words, the previous strategy of keeping her away from the dream world as much as possible still cannot be changed.

Thought... she'd feel better when she got back to Naval Headquarters and met Vice Admiral Cap.But it seems that it is not enough to only comfort the scars on the soul.Humans are fragile creatures.

Matthew raised his hand to touch You Xiang's forehead, he had a low fever.Because the barriers are weaker near the ghost island?One's own functions cannot scan the so-called 'barrier', and can only be judged by other superficial phenomena, so there is no way to respond in time.

Have you been patient until now?Miss Xiang?Did Mr. Takumi feel uncomfortable when he was still at the bottom of the sea?Sorry... I seem to have been too concerned with the confidence in the bottom of the sea to catch it in time.

Matthew lowered the temperature of the hand he put on Youxiang's forehead.In places where this technology is backward, only this method can be used to physically cool down.It should make You Xiang a little more comfortable.

"Meow..."

At this time, Pupu appeared nearby.She walked to You Xiang's side with lazy steps, because she was too big, so when she lay down next to You Xiang, her head could just rest on Matthew's lap.Matthew sighed, and touched the top of the kitten's head: "Mr. Ace, are they sleeping well?"

"Meow~"

"That's right. I fell asleep after confirming that I was here..."

Matthew can understand the language of cats.In other words, he can roughly understand the language of animals.This is the function of advanced artificial intelligence.It is not difficult for artificial intelligence to capture the unique frequencies that animals can emit and then find the rules.After all, they were made to do things that are difficult for humans to do.

"Meow!" Pupu called out, then stretched out a long waist, and yawned.The tail also tapped twice on the tatami.

"Ah, I don't understand human feelings either." Matthew seemed to be chatting with her, "Things born of resentment should be wrong. At least human beings always say so. But, Lord Qili... No. It should be It is said that the person who was let off by Lord Qi Li, her resentment cannot be said to be without reason, and it can even be said that the people who were resented have suffered on their own."

"Meow."

"That's right. Even so, even if she has thousands of reasons, the bloodline that has persecuted her and her loved ones for thousands of years must have been thinned to the point of innocence. There must be no need to continue the resentment now Go down. That's what I said, but the resentment hasn't disappeared, which means..."

"Meow~~"

"It means that resentment will not disappear by itself for no reason. At this time, it has become scientific."

Matthew smiled as if mocking himself.He said: "Resentment, anger, fear... This kind of thing is like a bible to me. Even if there is an artificial intelligence smarter than me, it must not be able to fully understand it. Because those things cannot be compared with 1 and 0 interpreted."

"Meow!"

"Don't comfort me. I don't feel sad... It's just that if I can't understand, it seems that I can't fulfill my mission and responsibility. This time makes people quite uncomfortable. After all, I am perfect."

Talking to the cat.Rossi dared not interrupt.He had no idea what Pupu was talking about, but it seemed that Matthew would also open up to someone other than Youxiang a little bit—no, it should be a cat.He would open up to the inhuman.He was serious about hating humans.

"Anything to say, Mr. Rossi?"

"Wooah...you know I'm here."

Rossi appeared on the other side of You Xiang in a little embarrassment. He said, "I'm helping the cabbage to isolate the sound. But you should know."

"Ah. I guessed so, so I know you are nearby." Matthew looked down at Youxiang again, and said, "Don't worry, her condition is relatively stable now."

"I think Matthew...you can take a break." Rossi said a little bit embarrassed, "I know Matthew doesn't need a rest. But...but how should I put it. I think you need a rest."

"What strange things are you talking about, Mr. Rossi?"

"That's right! That's the one...Not long ago, I saw you acting like a baby on the cabbage lap for the first time. Although I was surprised at that time, I suddenly realized...Although Matthew is different from human beings , but it is still alive, so there will always be times when you are tired."

Rossi looked at Matthew's expressionless face and smiled. He said, "You are really pushing yourself too hard. Since we first met, I have never seen you relax. I am afraid that before that , you have always maintained the same state, right?"

"I don't need to relax or rest—"

"I know I know. But Matthew, sometimes people get tired mentally even if they aren't physically tired? From Captain Kidd to me, to the Chambords auction, then Ace's execution and Coma Cabbage...followed by Punk Hazard, Dressrosa, Totland, and now."

"Miss Youxiang needs me. Everyone needs me. Mr. Rossi."

"I understand. I know, Matthew! All of us... Unknowingly rely on you. Thinking that with Matthew here, the situation will not get worse no matter what. Matthew must have already thought about it Backup plan, Matthew knows everything and can do everything..." Before I knew it, I thought about it all.Rossi said:

"Maybe some people haven't realized this yet, but if we suddenly lose you, we will be in a hurry. You are really a guy who is prone to dependence!"

Is this not a matter of course?That's why I exist.I was created to make it easier for human beings to live, so being dependent is the best proof of my role.Matthew said, "Of course, because I'm the best—"

"I want to apologize to you on behalf of everyone, Matthew." Before Matthew could finish, Rosie interrupted him, "Sorry. We seem to be unknowingly putting all the pressure on you. Bad decision, The failure of the operation...these things that should be borne by us, seem to be borne by you alone. Sorry, Matthew."

"..." What are you talking about... What strange words are you talking about?Shouldn't it be... that I should bear it?

Because this is my responsibility, my mission.I will take all the cost, all the wrong decisions of mankind, all the failures of human incompetence, I will bear it all, and find the remedy.I, we, are born for this.That's why it was made.So why are you apologizing to me?

"I, what I said... can't make you understand?" Rossi saw that Matthew still had no expression, he was a little lied, "Did I make you feel uncomfortable?"

"Yes."

"sorry!!"

"...You have denied the meaning of my existence."

"Hey, hey?!" Is it that serious? !Rossi became even more flustered, "I didn't mean that! Matthew! Listen to me, I mean—"

"But he treats me as alive...as a 'companion'." Matthew interrupted a flustered Rosie, who lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, Mr. Rosie. This means the most to me. It matters."

"Matthew..."

"However, I can't accept your apology, because I just did what I should do, and if people rely on me, it means that I did a good job. I also do those things to 'do a good job'. So no Someone needs to apologize to me."

Me too... I don't understand Matthew's thoughts... Rossi didn't know what to say, he hesitated to speak, but at this moment, she let out a meow, and she stood up, Rubbing Matthew's face with her furry head, she seemed to want to express something, but Rosie didn't understand at all.

But Matthew said in surprise: "Something I can't do alone...? What do you mean?"

"Meow!" Pupu seemed to be laughing, and she said, "Meow meow!"

"I, I don't understand... Pupu." Matthew looked at the magical creature in front of him, and rarely showed a panicked expression, "What do you mean I will start to rely on my friends as long as I have to? What do you want to create? event?"

"Meow!" is definitely saying yes!This cat is definitely saying yes!She meowed, then raised her paw and placed it on Matthew's shoulder.

"Whatever you want to do..." Matthew felt that he was facing the biggest crisis since Ace was executed, "Don't. Flutter. Absolutely not! Even if it's not a 'bad thing'! What do you mean this is to eliminate each other The barrier between us! Humans and I are not the same species at all! There is no way to get rid of it!!"

"Meow!"

"Even if you say it's absolutely possible! This is a natural obstacle! This is, this is... an insurmountable gap between creatures of different forms of existence... As a cat and as a demon, you should understand!!"

"Meow."

"At this time, saying 'how will you know if you don't try' will not only not make me compromise, but also make me more resistant!! Don't ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Meow--!!"

"What does it mean that it's too late to refuse?!"

At the moment when Matthew screamed in vain after negotiating with the cat, a strong white light erupted in Youxiang's room. A strong space distortion was clearly recorded, a huge energy oscillated under a certain membrane, it broke through the barrier, which meant some kind of...

Something that means 'something in fucking trouble' is happening!

"What's going on with you little kitty!!"

Didn't I say it was an ordinary kitten? !Although it is too huge, isn't it just an ordinary kitten?While following a suspicious demon, isn't it just an ordinary kitty? ! !

Bridging the gap between your heart and humans will surely bring you closer to your beloved companions.

Matthew 'heard' such a sound, but his processor did not capture any sound, which was very strange. He didn't know how this 'sound' was conveyed to his consciousness. Could it be that magic couldn't work on him? ?But if this isn't magic, what is it...?

"Horse, Matthew..."

At this time, Rossi, who was obviously shocked by the strong light and the disturbing distortion of the space, turned around first, because after the white light dissipated, there was a 'thing' in the room that was obviously not there before.

"Are you kidding, kitten!!"

Matthew raised his voice, and they saw that in the center of the room, several gray-headed and dirty humans appeared there. They were all very young, four men and one woman. Matthew quickly scanned them, all of them were Human beings undoubtedly, without exception, suffered ridiculously serious injuries, and were extremely shocked by what happened!

"This, here is..." One of the teenagers with obvious scars on his head came back to his senses first. He wanted to stand up, but failed and then knelt back. This was natural, because his legs and ribs were Severely fractured, shock and reason seemed to be playing games in his mind, and then reason prevailed because...

"Mr. Purgatory!! I don't know what happened! Maybe, maybe the ghost is back! I will protect you! It's okay!" He kept the blond-haired young man next to him, and the trembling voice didn't know whether it was because of pain or nervousness In short, his eyes were full of vigilance and... and fear.

This should be a matter of course, because he and his companions would die if they did not receive treatment.

Matthew stared at these people, who are they? The surrounding space is still not stable at all, and it is not surprising that a "singularity" may suddenly appear!This room, no, it should be the mansion of the Wuguitang family, it seems to be 'clamped' by some powerful force.

That force forced the twisted space to maintain a delicate balance, and brought these few human beings who were on the verge of life and death here.

Is this the way you say it? Flutter, is this what you want me to do?I don't think this will work.Because... because...

"You stupid humans!!!"

Because, when a dying human being appears in front of him, he will always...

"Lie down where you are!! Do you want to die that much?!"

Always want to keep them alive.Doesn't this change nothing at all?

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

The author has something to say:

I finished reading Ghost Slayer (manga) overnight! !Then I got an excellent inspiration while working. I originally wanted to put the timing of their cameo behind, but no matter how I want the children to meet Dover, it is not a good thing, and it will increase the psychological trauma.So I picked this moment now!

If Matthew were human, he might have collapsed long ago.In fact, everyone should be able to see that he has always been in a bad state of mind, and he is on the boundary between a neurotic and a normal person.This is because he was on the verge of breaking down a long time ago.Because he couldn't solve the contradiction between his deep love and hatred for human beings, as well as the questioning of the meaning and purpose of his creation, he has been in torment.Plus, as Rosie said, he never took a break for so many years.If no one told him, he might never understand that he was so sleepless because he loved the people who depended on him.

However, Rossi told him in the normal way, because he still couldn't understand the "natural barrier" between species with different forms of existence, so Pupu chose this method!So can Matthew really understand his feelings?And look at the next chapter!

Pupu is an ordinary kitten, but no matter how you look at it, it cannot really be an ordinary kitten.

I deliberately chose the time before Brother Purgatory’s sacrifice. Let it be my selfishness. His sacrifice was so sudden that it scared me. I think he can be rescued again.Also, Ace was also damaged in his heart and internal organs. Matthew couldn’t do anything at that time, which was a big blow to him (although he completed the task of saving his grandfather that Youxiang gave him perfectly, he was still very nervous. Those who care about Ace, after all, he was raised by himself).Although to Matthew, Brother Purgatory is a stranger, but at this moment, he must want to do something!
