[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 674 Dangerous Materials Underground

Crocodile seemed to understand what Dover was saying.It seems that this group of people is indeed not that simple, especially this white kid.Now, it's not so much that he feels like it's all fake, it's that he feels like everything makes him feel powerless.This is what makes him feel uncomfortable the most.

He didn't want to be immersed in the current 'comfort' like this. There was a voice in his heart telling him that he had seen more exciting things, and he had an unswerving goal for which he would stop at nothing and not give up easily.He has gone through many hardships, and it cannot be said that all of them are good things, but for him, all of them are very important.

Humans are complicated, and he knows that.But now, at this moment, he felt that he was extremely thin, like a villain on paper, interpreted with just a few words.That's what hurts him the most. He feels...empty.nothingness.

"If you can 'get things back on track,' fine," Crocodile said, without taking a few seconds to think about it, "but I'm not sure what to do. So far, I'm just investigating And looking for something suspicious. Like something underground here."

"I think you're doing the right thing. You're a smart guy, smart.Matthew said, "Have you discovered the abnormality of the Dragon Cult?"

"It started with the red ship... It was just an accident at first." Crocodile said and sat back in his seat, and poured a glass of drink by the way, "I did it with that red-haired mercenary group in the Dominion. A small business, just exchanged some goods, and in a blink of an eye, the accountant I brought disappeared."

It's unbelievable that you still use accountants.You are not a decent person, are you?Matthew was even a little relieved, so he didn't interrupt Crocodile but asked him to continue: "Accountants are very important people."

"You're right, few people notice that."

"I'm starting to like you, boy." Crocodile smiled, and he said, "Anyway, I need him. So I had to go to him, and finally found the red ship. It will still be in the The port, too, was not very noticeable. I got on board, rescued my men, and ransacked them."

"People who do bad things have to pay something."

"I think we must hit it off."

Neither of you seem like nice people.Ace leaned involuntarily to the side, so that Matthew, Dover, and Crocodile could form a perfect "bad guy environment".

"I transported the looted things to the base in the desert, but there seemed to be something they cared about very much, so they also chased after them, and at this time the abnormality appeared." Crocodile didn't mind this small environment , he continued, "When they came to the area, they started to get scared."

"Fear?"

"Ah. At first I thought they knew the sand was my home game." After all, that's what I'm capable of."But then I found out that what they were really afraid of was what was under the sand, and they were afraid to let me know what was under the sand," Crocodile said. Forgive or something."

"It sounds like some cultist has gone crazy." It doesn't seem to be too inconsistent for Shenlongjiao and Isaac's group.Matthew said, "I didn't feel anything unusual after I came here. Where's Frey? I mean the magic side."

"Neither have I. But... the old gods may indeed be more right than we feel. It is generally a collection of all pure emotions." Frey said, "It is very, very close to human beings, with all human emotions , but without the human complexity. It's all pure, which makes him very raw and sharp."

"You mean he can feel a lot of things you don't realize?"

"That's right. And this is the world he built, so he should understand it better. If the Dragon Cult really exists to protect him, then it's possible that they have a certain degree of sensory sharing."

Probably the feeling of an agent.Doesn't this tell me that the so-called 'spokespersons of God' in all religions may actually be able to hear the voice of God?It's just nonsense, I wouldn't admit to that kind of thing.Matthew confirmed this in his heart, and then said, "Then did they escape?"

"No. Not only did they not escape, but they started killing each other." Crocodile seemed to recall the unpleasant things, he said, "They seemed to be completely crazy and started killing their companions. If they got close, they would Attacked, I ordered my men to stay away from them, and then they just drew some strange symbols in the sand with the blood of their dead comrades."

"It's a cult."

"It's the first time I think that evil-religious thing is scary." Crocodile took a breath, he said, "Then something incredible happened, when they finished drawing those things, the earth began to shake, and we We all heard the low roar of monsters coming from the depths of the desert, and the volcano popped out from under the sand so unbelievably."

So they called Mr. Frey right where they were, to cover up what they found underground here?That's the reason why Crocodile judged that there is something very important underground here.He is quite thoughtful.Matthew doesn't hate such people.

"I see." Matthew said, "Then let's follow your original plan and see what's under the sand first. However, the final destination of the red boat should also be our destination."

"It won't be too late to decide how to deal with those lunatics after we see what's underground." Anyway, they are lunatics.No matter how you deal with it, no one will have an opinion, right?Crocodile said, "Although the volcano will not erupt now, we can't go directly down the crater, right?"

"Of course, the magma inside has probably not cooled down, and it is impossible for humans to enter." Matthew had already planned, "And it is not a wise choice for us to approach rashly. I will build a detector and go to the Determine the environment inside, and then make a plan. Do you have any materials here?"

"Sand is enough."

"Hey..." Couldn't it be better!If it doesn't work, I can only go back to the Dominion first.The detector must be accurate and heat-resistant, and then... Matthew was still thinking about it, and Frey suddenly said, "At this distance, I can go and have a look."

"Ah?" Matthew made an extremely dissatisfied voice, "Are you saying that my detector is useless at all, Mr. Frey?"

"You are too sensitive, Matthew! I just said that I can go and see the situation first—"

"Doesn't that mean that my detector is completely unnecessary?! I will not admit that science is worse than magic! No, I will not admit the existence of magic!! I don't want it!"

"I said that I didn't mean that! Or you can come with me! Aren't you unaffected?"

"My collective is a perfect bionic structure. If it is too hot, it will burn like a human being, and there is no way to heal itself! Now there is no way to let the group of people in the parliament launch a new body for me! Here's to them Let’s say it’s a ‘level one isolation state’!! In this state, in order to prevent the situation here from spreading, they will even make this planet disappear with one shot!”

"... Matthew? Is there something urgent that you didn't tell us??"

"There is nothing you need to know. The earth has existed in this state before the development of space civilization. After all, nuclear radiation is not a joke... No, this is not important at all, as long as it does not spread. , it shouldn’t spread. In short! I can’t get a new body now, so I can’t take this risk!”

Matthew said righteously: "Even if my terminal is not restricted, I can't tolerate my terminal being held by an 'energy body' that may disappear at any time into a place where once it falls in, it can never come out again. I But I won’t die, if I fall into it, will I have to spend billions of years in the core of this planet until it explodes?! It’s too cruel!”

You think too much!Frey felt that Matthew seemed to be in a tangled and self-willed state, and he immediately began to seek foreign aid: "You Xiang, you take care of him."

"Okay, okay, Matthew...touch his head." Youxiang thought he was just a little nervous, or... a little tired?She went over and touched the top of Matthew's head, and said, "Let Frey help, okay? Matthew can take a break?"

"I don't need to rest—"

"I think Matthew needs it." Although he won't be physically tired, he will be mentally tired.Youxiang smiled, and she said, "I think we all need it. So let Frey take care of it for a while."

"..." Miss Youxiang... Don't you know that when you hold someone else's face like this, that person can't refuse you?Matthew said helplessly, "But I will still make a few detectors."

"Well. Let's make a detector here! Then Frey will go to find the way~~ Is it okay?" Youxiang turned to look at Frey, and Frey shrugged, and he said, "I have a hunch that the thing underground is a demon. There is no other way, I will still need you sometimes, Matthew."

"Of course you will need me anytime." I am very confident about this.Matthew said, "I see. So that's the plan. I don't think it will take long for the truth to come out. Before that, let's take a break. No one has any objections, right?"

"We're just about to rebuild the base." Crocodile said unhurriedly, "The Dominion has changed from chaos to order. After all, that fellow Mansfield is back, and the Red Ship's Things should come to an end soon.”

"I hope so." Matthew said, "By the way, this place is actually very close to the desert country, right? Miss Weiwei, do you need to go back?"

"........."

"Miss Vivi?"

"Ah! No, nothing... sorry." Weiwei seemed to be thinking about something just now, she recovered and said, "No, I don't need to go back. I also care about the underground things you mentioned. Since Hong The people on the ship are so afraid of it, then maybe it can be our 'weapon'. It should be seen anyway."

This is indeed an idea.But what is the 'weapon' that can make the 'God' panic?With the current information, Matthew couldn't guess it.

"You can use the rooms here as you please." It's pretty much the same anyway.Crocodile said, "But there's no supplies. Let that Mansfield guy send some, and treat it as a welcome gift for our cooperation. I won't pay for it."

"Then please Miss Youxiang." Matthew said seriously, "After all, Miss Youxiang is more experienced in prostitution."

"Matthew! Now I'm a weird person!"

"You said before: It's so cool to prostitute Mr. Iji for nothing~~ Such words."

"Huh?! Did I really say that?? What did I do to Iji-san before... Isn't it better not to think about it?"

"Maybe he still wants you to step up your efforts, so don't feel too guilty about him."

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

The author has something to say:

Iji: If possible, I still hope to get the money.

You Xiang: I will give you 10 Baileys.

Iji: Doesn’t that count as being prostituted for nothing?

Matthew: Self-deception is also one of Germa's 'superpowers'.

Ranking list with a huge amount of prostitution by Youxiang:

No.1, Iji

Deserved!Together with the princes of Germa, they climbed to the apex of prostitution.They are obviously very expensive mercenaries, but so far, they have only received a commission of about 200 Baileys from Youxiang, and the actual various expenses incurred would probably cost a few Katakuri to replace with other people.

No.2, Kagawa

Mr. Mansfield volunteered various assets, such as ships, supplies, intelligence, etc.Direct spending even surpassed Germa.

No.3, Navy

Including Grandpa, Kirby, Drake, Smoker and Sakalski have been commanded, assigned and used many times.Of course, it is Karp's fault most of the time, but Sengoku sometimes has to bear some responsibility.
