[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 543

Matthew was glad he had fooled the others.Even Captain Turing himself didn't see the scars on the fuselage.Taking advantage of Kagawa's visit, he came to the engineer hangar alone.There are mobile armor, armored vehicles, shuttles... and his spare body.

"That means you need me to help you replace the head of this airframe with the spare airframe, right?" Chief Engineer Miss Pamela knocked on her workbench with a wrench in her hand, she said, "Why is this so? Trouble? Don’t you just need to plug the terminal in?”

"I hope no one knows I've changed bodies."

"You're working too hard, Matthew?" Miss Pamela felt a little unbelievable. "If this is the old Matthew, the whole world must know that he was seriously injured!"

"It's different, okay? They...they don't have to worry about me so much. In short, it will be very troublesome!" Matthew said, sitting on the workbench, then pulled out his terminal and put it aside, and then controlled The body lay down, "Hurry up and change it! Otherwise, they will find it later!"

"Hey... I see. But this machine is really special. The hair color is different from all your spare machines. Is it because of this?" Pamela picked up a tool that was more precise than a wrench. While saying, "Just tell me the truth, Matthew. Did you meet someone who cared a lot?"

"I care about all human beings. Dear Warrant Officer Pamela." Matthew said perfunctorily, "But... indeed, white hair is very important."

"why?"

"You just have to know, don't you?"

Pamela spread her hands, and Matthew said helplessly: "There is a girl. She... experienced everything she shouldn't have experienced. I don't want her to worry about unnecessary things anymore."

"Is it unnecessary to worry about you, Matthew?"

"Relatively speaking, yes. Because I don't care how many mechas I have, and the terminal is almost indestructible. I will be fine. But she won't listen to my explanation. She treats me as a fragile thing like a human being, It's useless anyway." Matthew paused for a long time before continuing, "In short, she has too many things to worry about, and I don't want to add to her burden."

"If you weren't Matthew, I'd probably say: You're in love with her." Miss Pamela raised an eyebrow. She had long orange hair that fell in a braid over one shoulder.He was wearing one-piece work clothes with some stains on them.There are some freckles on her face, she is not beautiful but she can be seen to be quite confident.

She said, "But you're Matthew. All I can say is... she's special, isn't she?"

"I don't know. Human beings are so complicated. I've met many special human beings, and you're one of them, Warrant Officer. But I'm still not sure what the human beings call love, it's so hard to understand , I can only do what I want to do." Matthew said, "I'm just doing what I think is reasonable."

"It's love, Matthew, if you think all that's going on in her favor is perfectly reasonable."

"Aha... I'm not sure if I want this kind of answer. You don't know how terrible that girl's Shura field is. But love also has many forms."

"I know, you belong to maternal love."

"I'm not a mother!!" Damn it!How does everyone want me to be a mom!Matthew raised his voice a little, and he said, "It's so annoying! I don't want to talk about this topic anymore! Also, install an energy cannon on my new body, Miss Warrant Officer!!"

"I can't do it. The above stipulates that I can only repair and replace it for you, and I can't add new functions." Pamela laughed, and she said, "Just be a service robot honestly, Matthew. I think it's quite suitable. your!"

"Not suitable at all!!" You all want to sleep with me!hateful! !Matthew became furious and said, "Oh, don't throw the clothes away! I'm going to put them back on!"

"Don't pretend to be so real, let me say..."

"I want it!"

——The wilderness is already horrible.

People are slowly dying.Towns and Huadu may not be able to see much, but people outside are no longer able to do so.What's worse than before is that people will fall to the ground and die directly because there is no rescue, and then the beasts will come and eat the corpses and get infected, and then die nearby, and then continue the cycle.

Therefore, a large number of corpses can always be seen in the wilderness.

"It's, it's nearby!" Momanosuke kept himself from looking at those. He pointed to a ruin in front of him and said, "It used to be the city of one of my father's subjects. I remember my father once said that he put the important The Promise' is placed there. Thanks to Master Youxiang for letting me have a dream about the past, otherwise I would have forgotten it!"

"Is it an important promise..." Ms. Mita is really serious... To put it in such a general way, it should be Miss Qili's ashes, right?If it continues to drag on, I am afraid that not the entire Wano country will become a country of the dead.

Youxiang thought to herself, and then said: "Let's go there quickly. Thanks to Matthew, I was able to contact Xiaoyu and lend us Komachiyo... But are they really okay, I'm a little worried!"

"Youxiang, you worry about too many things." Ace shook his head, and he said, "Look at me, you just need to think that Ace is handsome~~ and that's it!"

"But the boss is more handsome!"

"Sad!! I'm so sad, you are fragrant!!"

"Haha..." Rihe couldn't help laughing at the side, she said, "Youxiang-sama and Ace-sama have such a good relationship."

"Xiaoyu told me that Lord Yuxiang is also His Royal Highness!" Momonosuke turned his head and said with bright eyes, "Then Lord Ace must be a guard!"

"A guard~~ It's not counted, is it?" Ace looked at You Xiang and laughed, "I should be the pirate who abducted Her Royal Highness! Hahahahahaha!"

Ace is really... Youxiang looked at Ace, who didn't know what he was proud of, and sighed.Now it's better to hurry up and solve the plague, so that everyone can feel at ease.Now there is some whitening in the east, and it has passed overnight.This is really a long night, I hope that after tonight, Wano country can come back to life from this state——

"Don't worry."

"what?!"

Suddenly, a strange voice appeared in Youxiang's ear. She raised her head in shock, looked around and found nothing unusual, and even surprised Ace: "What's wrong?"

"It seems, I heard a strange sound..." Youxiang moved a little closer to Ace, and she said, "Obviously... obviously it will be resolved soon, but my heart can't relax a bit. Ace...I..." I had a bad feeling, still very bad.

"It's okay." You're just too nervous.Because Matthew and the others are gone, right?Ace grabbed Yuxiang's hand on his chest, and said, "Even if something bad happens, I will be by your side. I will help you, and I will face and bear with you. So, don't You are scared, you are fragrant~ I am very strong! Look~~ sparks!"

"Wow..." Youxiang saw flames emanating from Ace's palm, and then the shape of the flames outlined the outline of a flower in mid-air. Her big, almost colorless eyes were illuminated by the flames and stained. A little orange.Ace looked at these eyes, was stunned for a while, and then smiled unconsciously: "Do you like it?"

"Yeah!" Youxiang nodded, and she said, "Has Ace shown it to anyone else?"

"No." To ask me such a question... Ace seemed very satisfied, he said, "I practiced secretly on purpose, and I was the first to show it to Youxiang!"

"Then... don't show it to others in the future, okay?"

"Ah. If you like it, I'll give it all to you alone." Ace rubbed his fingers against Youxiang's face as he spoke, "Stop showing such a sad expression, Youxiang."

"Hmm..." Youxiang held his hand with both hands, and said, "Ace and I have an appointment? Don't show it to others. Absolutely not!"

"Haha! I know! I promise this is a stunt that only Youxiang can see!"

"Ok!"

"So happy..." The smile is too pretty... If it wasn't because it was on Komachiyo's back and Hiyori and Momonosuke were still watching the fun, I would kiss you now, Yuka!Ace muttered in his heart, but fortunately, they didn't encounter any danger until the ruins of the city.

This city seems to have been called 'City of Red Lotus' a long time ago.Because the tiles of the city are all red, even the bricks are red.It is said that the oath made in the city of red lotus will be indestructible.However, now it seems that the city of red lotus itself is not indestructible.

The red tiles and the ruined walls are piled up together, and they can't see the previous appearance at all.Because it used to be a city directly under Oden, it was destroyed from the beginning of the coup.There is nothing around.The only living things in the ruins were unknown bugs and scattered weeds that crawled out from time to time.

"Miss Youxiang."

"Ah! Matthew!"

When Yuka and the others got off Komachiyo, they were immediately contacted by Matthew: "Have you found the target yet?"

"Hmm! Time is running out... so I asked Fino to help me too. I asked Momanosuke-kun to have a dream about Mita-san, and he remembered Mita-san once said to put an 'important promise' in one place. We Just arrived at that place." Youxiang explained briefly, and she said, "Can Matthew see us now?"

"Although the picture is not very clear because of the clouds, but I saw it." Matthew replied, "I and the others will go back immediately. Colonel Turing and the others must return now according to the regulations. And the white knight has to keep him In the orbit of the planet. I don’t know if he will suddenly move again, so it’s safer for us to eliminate the plague.”

"Matthew... Even if there is no white knight, you still have to cure the plague?"

"You're right." Although I'm a bit of a human being who doesn't want to take care of the scars and forget the pain, but since you said so.Ma revised his mouth and said, "No matter what, please hurry up with Momonosuke-kun... Kaido must have known about the trouble. If he comes here from Onijima now, we will really be wiped out." gone."

"Matthew wasn't hurt...was he?"

"Of course! I'm fine! Everyone else is healed too, don't worry. Mr. Szabo too. Want to talk to him?" I know where Captain Kidd has gone. If he was here just now, maybe the white knight will meet his nemesis."

"The captain seems to have gone to find other people on board... But he should be fine." Youxiang said, "Matthew, are you really okay?"

"real."

"I think you're lying to me."

"Okay! Another airframe is broken! But it has been repaired!" Matthew finally told the truth, "Miss Youxiang just pay attention to the things in front of me! Ah... we have already landed."

"So fast!"

"Of course, the shuttle is fast." It's just 'falling' from the sky.Very fast.Matthew said, "We're going back to the mansion of the Five Ghosts now. Regardless of whether things can be done or not, Ms. Yuxiang, please come back quickly after the end. We have to make preparations before Kaido moves."

"Well, I see!"

Hearing Matthew's voice really relieved me a lot... Was it because I was too nervous just now?Yuka turned off the communicator, while Momonosuke and Hiyori were already trying to explore the ruins.

"there."

"??"

When Youxiang's eyes were still looking around, she heard the unfamiliar voice again.As if guided by something, she saw an underground secret door suppressed by ruined stones at a glance: "Ace, look there!"

"Ah, I see...it's a secret door?" Ace walked over, he cleaned up the debris above, and then tried hard to open the secret door, but failed.This thing is quite stuck... and there are some marks scratched by tools on it. It seems that many people have tried to open it. These people must have failed, right?

"Blood."

"Blood...?"

Youxiang heard that voice again, she repeated these two words strangely, Ace also looked at her strangely: "Youxiang?"

"I heard a strange voice, Ace." Youxiang said nervously, "He seems to be guiding me to find something hidden here."

"Huh? Is it a demon?"

"I don't know. This voice... seems a little familiar, but it seems like I've never heard it before..." Youxiang said, "He said blood. It may mean that you need Momanosuke-kun and Hiyori-san to open this door mean."

The surrounding barriers don't seem to be particularly unstable.After all, this area is a wilderness, so it is definitely not as safe as in the city.But Ace didn't hear anything... He said, "Should we... ask Lance to come out and ask?"

"Good idea! Lance!" Almost forgot about him!Youxiang immediately yelled, and Lance appeared next to her almost in a second and held her neck: "Woo~~~ Master forgot about him! Master is so bad!!"

"Lan, Lance... I'm sorry! But sometimes you can't answer the question even if you ask, so..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Cakes..."

"I see, I will call you next time I eat cake!" You just want to eat cake!You Xiang patted his head, and then said, "By the way, does Lance know who the person I'm talking to is?"

"I know." Because there's nothing I don't know... Lance paused for a moment, as if thinking about how to say it, "He's a 'runaway' kid."

"A runaway child? What is that...?"

"It's people who are looking for salvation but can't get it. They wander in the world of dreams, and one day... they find...the inheritance of their father (God) that they can't touch." Lance lowered his eyes slightly, he said, " I got disturbing answers, Master. I'm sorry, but I still can't tell you, and I don't want you to pay that much."

"Is... a bad thing?"

"...No. Huh? Isn't it?" Lance also seemed surprised, "Although it will be disturbing at first, but... if the master is still himself, then there is no problem. Hmm! That's it ! So don’t worry about it!”

Is there really no need to worry... Lance... so unreliable! !This is the same answer as divination, is it so unclear because he doesn't want to pay the price?Youxiang sighed helplessly, he must also be worried about himself.Look at his innocent smiling face...it's pretty cute.Youxiang raised her hand and patted his head.

"Then how do we open this door?" Ace felt a little upset when he saw Youxiang touching Lance's head, so he interrupted the two of them and said, "Just tell me the answer."

"Momonosuke-kun can open it... I can feel the magic power." Lance touched the door with his hand, and he said, "This is... Yulian's magic power. She must have helped seal it. To her It’s not that hard to say.”

It turned out to be like this... No wonder it looked like an ordinary stone door, but it couldn't be opened no matter what.Yuxiang understood, and she said, "Then let's ask Momonosuke-kun and the others to come over! Since you know what will happen afterwards is not a bad thing, don't worry about it!"

"It should be..." I always feel that there is no need to worry...forget it.Ace doesn't know how to describe this mood, this guy named Lance is really unreliable.Just be yourself...it doesn't seem too hard.Just trust You Xiang's judgment, "I'll call them over, quickly get rid of the plague so we can act normally!"
