[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 514 Past Messages

When Roger ran into the tower, he saw a lighted device in the center of the first floor of the tower.The device projected an indistinct human male figure upwards, with a light blue glow.And the sound outside came from this device.

Although Roger has never seen this thing, he can speculate that it should be some kind of recording device, like a video phone bug, which only records the sound and impact.This also explains why there are voices of people talking in the tower that has been buried underground for many years.

It's not something magical.Roger lost half of his enthusiasm in an instant, but Youxiang, who ran in behind him, was more energetic: "Matthew, Matthew will also project such an image! Rossi!"

"Ah, um..." Rossi appeared next to Youxiang, and he looked at the flickering figure in surprise, "It seems that this one seems to be malfunctioning... Maybe it's because it's been too long?"

"If Matthew is here, it should be fixed, right? But..." I can try it too!Youxiang walked to the front and looked at the flashing device, it was just a kick to go up!

"Xiao Youxiang?!"

"Hey!" Regardless of the startled Roger, Youxiang kicked him again.

Needless to say, this method is quite effective. Going down with two feet, although the projected image is a bit crooked, it is much clearer, and the sound is also coherent.I saw that this was the image of a middle-aged man with gray hair and a beard, and the ordinary linen clothes he was wearing looked a little dirty.

He looked sad, as if he hadn't slept for a long time, and his eyes were full of worry and despair.He said: "...we have no other choice but to go through the interstellar gate and come here through an unimaginable distance. How far is it from our home? Dozens of light years? Hundreds of light years? Even more, farther... We have no way of knowing, only that everyone who made the same choice as us never came back."

"The Imperial Star Destroyer is right behind us, and if we don't choose, it will be sunk and turned into the dust of the dark universe. What did we do wrong?" asked the first officer, badly injured from the previous attack Me. I can't answer her. I don't know. I don't know what we did wrong."

"We rescued some civilians from those planets that were ruined by the empire. Most of them are young adults, and some children. I have to admit, this is planned... because we need labor more than old, weak, sick and disabled And young hope. I'm not going to make excuses for this kind of behavior, and now, no one can say that they are on the sidelines."

"Before that day, we thought the war would be over. The separation forces were already lingering, and the great Guardian and the Alliance of the Republic were about to unify our star field and put an end to the war. But who would have imagined that everything would change overnight. .Nobody knows exactly what happened, at least not us. We were branded rebels without our knowledge."

"Many, many people died. It was beyond the scope of war. It was a massacre, a reign of terror. We lost the heroes who protected us in the past, and on that night, we also lost the courage to resist. There are many, many like Small ships like ours try to hide in the universe, praying that the dreaded absolute zero and darkness of the past can hide their tracks."

"But how many small ships were turned into ashes under the pursuit of the Star Destroyer and the main gun? We are lucky. Although we may never be able to return to our hometown, at least we survived. We are very lucky, I It must be emphasized again ... that there is a habitable planet close to where we are."

"It's roughly covered by the sea, but there's still a ring of continents that wraps around it like a belt. From a boat, it's blue. Before we found it, we were struggling with energy issues, and after that, Even the most pessimistic person can tell a joke."

"We landed smoothly. The rest of life may not be easy, but we know that at least the pursuers will not take the risk of coming with us. At least, we are safe now. I leave this record so that it will not be too long. In the future, people will forget our existence. Although we are very ordinary, I think that those who live desperately deserve to be remembered somewhere.”

Wow... This is, this is a message from someone from a long time ago... After Youxiang listened to this paragraph, the video went out by itself.It may have been in disrepair before, so I don't know how to start it by myself, right?Perhaps it was activated when Miss Vilonia woke up the Tower not so long ago.

Youxiang said: "So this is not a tower of God, but a refuge built by people who fled here a long time ago, Mr. Roger."

"Well... and, I don't know how long it has been, their descendants have completely integrated into this sea." Most of them should have forgotten this difficult past. Although they don't know whether it is good or bad, it should be nothing. Too much influence.Just like what the person in the video said, they can no longer return to their hometown, so there is no problem in treating this place as their home.

Roger looked around again, there seemed to be no other entrances, and he didn't know how to get to such a big tower.He said: "Part of the legend is made up. After all, I haven't seen a place where I can go further."

"...Huh?" But, there is a door over there...?Youxiang looked at the door directly opposite Mr. Roger, then looked at Rossi, and pointed to the door, "Can't Rossi see it too?"

"Huh? See... what do you see?" Rossi obviously didn't see anything either.

Again... the previous situation.In the temple in Totland, there is also a door that neither Iji-san nor Katakuri-san can see.Only you can see it... Youxiang said, "It looks like this is another trial that only I can go through."

"Cabbage?" What do you mean?Rossi said, "Did you see anything?"

"See there's a door there, Rosie." Youxiang pointed to the door again, but that position was just a wall to Roger and Rosie.Not even the outline of the door.Youxiang said, "This tower may be a 'temple', just like those on Penderga and Totland... Matthew once said that these temples have a great relationship with the place where I was born. relation."

"But, but cabbage... Do you want to go in alone?!" No!No matter how you think about it, it's a bit weird!Rossi immediately said, "Really? Well, you, me, and Frey can't get in touch in the temple, right? There may be danger inside, and, and I don't know how long it will take..."

"Every time I'm in the temple, I see my mother." Youxiang said while taking out the amulet she got from the shrine in Totland.She looked at it, "I think, maybe... this is something I have to do, if I don't do it, I will regret it, Rosie!"

"Cabbage..." Ah... actually looking at me so seriously, Cabbage has become so independent!Although he is getting more and more handsome, but...but... before Rossi could say anything, Youxiang grabbed her clothes and subconsciously bent down, and then her head was touched: "It's okay, it's okay~ I'll be right back. I I know time is running out~ Can Rosie trust me?"

"I'm scared, huh? Cabbage?" When I went back to the past with you, I was very scared.Scared until now.Rossi said, "I'm afraid that because of one of my decisions to leave you temporarily, I will never see you again, or make things worse. You are really unpredictable, Cabbage...don't scare me OK?"

"Rosie. I think... I always have to figure out what's going on with me. Although... I'm very happy and happy now, but I really care about being left behind by my mother." Youxiang picked up Luo Seeing her face, she said, "Would you like to wait for me for a while with Dover? Twenty minutes!"

"I'll be angry for a second, Cabbage! I'll cry!!"

"Then set off right now! Everyone will leave it to you for now, Rosie! Besides, Rosie will leave it to you, Frey!" You Xiang quickly pouted Rossi's forehead, then turned and ran To that door.I always feel that...something is about to become clear.I always feel that this is the only chance to know my own life experience.

This temple will not exist in the future Zephaniah, that is to say, this is the only chance... If you miss it, you may never know the message your mother left for you.Speaking of which, what kind of connection do these temples have with mother?Is this information really... for yourself?

Youxiang didn't know, and wasn't sure.But at this moment, she just wanted to act.To find the answers you want to know.And this temple is showing itself a method... a way.No problem, I'll be right back.It won't take too long, because I'm not alone, I've gained... the strength my mother left me.

"Dark?"

When Youxiang ran into the door, the door disappeared behind him.Exactly the same as in Totland.Instead of panicking, she asked for a helper directly: "Can you help me?"

"Yes."

Duck's voice appeared beside him.Just a flash of white light and he stood there: "This should be the Jedi temple. Although I don't know why there is a temple in this kind of place...but it should show you some information, master."

"Sure enough, it's the same place as Penderga and Totland." Youxiang took a deep breath, and she said, "We're short on time, Duck! We need to get out within 10 minutes! Can it be done?" ?”

"If that's your wish." Then I'll blow up the place and I'll make it happen for you.Darke replied, and he said, "As long as your heart is not lost, then neither will I. I will be able to find the right way, master."

"I understand. My thinking is clearer than ever." Youxiang clenched the amulet tightly, and a gust of wind blew from behind.Obviously there is nothing behind him, this wind... It's like my mother is urging me.Youxiang said, "Since you've come in willfully, you're going to get out with a big victory! Darke!"

"Yes."

Master, it's different from when we first met... no.It's because the 'previous me' is different from when she first met.Now I have become more determined, and my eyes are not afraid. Although my body seems to be getting weaker, my heart is getting stronger and stronger.His own master is an incredible man——

After all, I have never heard of anyone who is not sensitive to the Force and can frequently receive guidance from the Temple and the Force.If there is a god here, then it is definitely on Youxiang's side.

Dak thought silently in his heart, and he followed Youxiang who was walking forward: "Is it okay to leave your companions outside? They...they might leave first."

"Mr. Roger and Grandpa are possible." After all, they are free pirates.You Xiang said, "However, I believe that Rossi and Dover will find a way! Miss Shi will help them too, right?"

"..." I think they really can't think of any good way... The best way that Dover can think of is to rule Zephnia when kidnapping, so as to hold Roger and the others pace.Although Dak thought so, he still didn't say it, "Master, there is no wind blowing over there, it should be a dead end."

"Ah!" So it is!Youxiang withdrew her foot towards the dead end in time, and turned to another fork in the road, "Why did you make the temple look like a maze? Dark? What was this place originally used for?"

"This was supposed to be a shelter. It was used to store information, convey information, and give shelter to the Jedi Knights." Dak explained simply, he said, "But...one day, all the Jedi Knights...all died .Only these ruins that look like tombstones are left. I am afraid that no one knows what will be found inside."

"Jedi Knight..." What a handsome name.Youxiang said, "Mom used to be the same."

"Your mother used to be a very powerful one, but...a lot of things happened. The Jedi Knights tried to find peace and tranquility in the world. They pursued the ultimate light, but...but as everyone knows, in the dark universe, there is no People can ignore it." Dak lowered his eyes slightly, and he said, "So they all died in the end. Master."

"...Dark, it doesn't sound like they like them very much!"

"Indeed... Maybe it's just dislike." I don't quite understand this kind of human emotion.Darke said, "I just think they're too... How do I say that word? It's too 'arrogant'. They think that if they just shut out the darkness completely, they will always be on the right track. But that's just wishful thinking on their part. That's all."

"It's not good to go to extremes."

"Yeah. Actually... I don't know much about the original force. I only know that it is a powerful force. It can create illusions and guide directions. However, it should be neutral. It is not good for itself. It’s not bad, it’s just existing. And people want to give it a definition, the dark force? The light force? What’s the point of that...why make it narrow?”

Maybe this is where people go wrong.If we pay more attention to the reasons why wars happen from the beginning, if we try to solve the reasons for the emergence of separatism from the beginning, if we try to solve everything with violence instead of avoiding any problems from the beginning, if we can seek common ground while reserving differences from the beginning——

Then no one will leave home, no one will have to go to war, no one will be separated from the one he loves.

Perhaps this is the sin of man, this is the limitation of man.

"I'm glad you didn't run away from the plague and the curse, Master." Duck said, "I think it's the right thing to do to find its root. Although my opinion is not important, I...I think you Maybe want to know."

"Well. Thank you for your willingness to tell me a lot!" It seems that I understand you a little bit.In the past, I just thought you were ridiculously handsome, but I didn't know exactly what you thought.Youxiang turned her head to look at Duck and said with a smile, "The past... We can't change the things that Duck said have happened. However, since it happened far, far away from us of……"

"Then we can only take it as a lesson from the past. Fortunately, Dak told me here, in fact~~ I am a person who likes to escape?"

"Is that so?" I didn't see it at all.You're the type who can go straight ahead in the face of a white knight, right?

"It's a secret! Every time... it's because everyone is by my side, so I didn't escape." Youxiang stuck out her tongue like a prank, "When I went to war, it was because of my grandfather, Totland. It’s because of the boss, everyone in Germa, and Mr. Katakuri. This time... it’s because of Dover, because of Duck. If it’s just me, I’ll definitely run away first, okay?”

Liar... definitely lied to me.Even if I don't understand human things, I know it.You will never run away.Even if there is only one person, he will never escape.Why did you lie to me?Why do you say that to me... Or, are you unaware that you are such a person?

never mind.It does not matter.Because this smile is pretty, so... so it doesn't matter.Dak also smiled unconsciously: "Then I won't let you down, master."

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

The author has something to say:

Youxiang: I don't know anything else, but Dak is really handsome! !

Dak: I will try to become more handsome for the master.

Frey: I really don't think either of you understands what the other is saying...but forget it.

What exactly is the Force!In fact, I don't know either!I'm just a fake fan after all!All I know is that at this time Youxiang hopes that Dak can put down his obsession with weapons and stay by his side as a companion.And Dak also hopes to see Xiangxiang's smiling face!Isn't that enough? !

Next chapter, Isaac is coming! !
