One Piece: Under the Throne

At the moment when the carving knife hit the surface of the iron block, the space seemed to be distorted, and then the carving knife disappeared, and then the sound of a hard object falling to the ground came from the corner of the room.

Following the sound, he saw a small carving knife lying on a piece of metal in the corner of the room. After being stunned for a long time, Leo finally realized that it seemed that the carving knife had traveled through space and teleported.

Teleport? Could this be a teleportation array? It turns out that this rune requires a pair to be used. No wonder it didn't work no matter how I fiddled with it before.

But when I thought about it carefully, I felt that something was not right. I had engraved patterns on so many metal materials and conducted countless experiments, so why was there no effect? ​​Was it because of the material, or was there some other secret?

Leo carefully walked across the messy floor and came to the metal block that made the engraving knife disappear and examined it carefully. Then he looked at the metal block where the engraving knife fell. After a while, he finally discovered the secret.

It turns out that there is a triangle symbol in each corner of the eight-pointed star on the array diagram. The reason why the carving knife was successfully transferred just now is because the triangles of the two metal blocks happened to point to each other. Assuming that the function of the triangle is to indicate the direction, then such a figure would point to the eight directions of east, south, west, north, southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast.

The piece of metal that was successfully teleported just now is just in the northwest direction of the initial metal block. Further speculation is that perhaps the angry throw just now just happened to throw the engraving knife onto the triangle pointing to the northwest.

After figuring out everything, Leo's mood can only be described as "Fuck". Because the research was too boring, he discovered the secret behind the historical text while rolling on the ground. When the research reached a bottleneck, he got angry and happened to find the correct method. Leo couldn't help but wonder if this was a favor from the world? So he also had the aura of a protagonist?

No, no, don't be too proud. This is just a small improvement. Leo slapped his face a few times, trying to force himself to calm down. But looking at the room full of metal blocks emitting blue light, Leo couldn't let go of the corners of his mouth.

Leo arranged all the metal blocks into a square, then picked up the carving knife again and threw it vertically at one of the metal blocks.

The space was distorted again, and the carving knife appeared again on the metal block not far away. After repeated experiments, Leo found that teleportation can only be between two points. If there are multiple teleportation arrays in the same direction, they can only be teleported in sequence, activating point A to teleport to point B, and then activating point B to teleport to point C.

Afterwards, Leo wanted to test the transmission distance, but the blue light emitted by the metal blocks went out. After experimenting for a while, all the metal blocks ran out of power.

……

As soon as Robin got home in the evening, she smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen. The little girl came to the restaurant with her mouth watering, and her vision was filled with delicious food.

"Robin, you're back. Go wash your hands. There's one last dish to prepare. We can eat soon."

Soon the sounds of dishes colliding and food chewing could be heard in the restaurant.

Robin kept stuffing food into his mouth, making himself look like a hamster. While eating, he asked, "Leo, did anything good happen to you today? Why are you so diligent all of a sudden?"

"Of course there are good things. Robin, I have made a major breakthrough in my research. I will be able to give you a big surprise soon."

"Really? You hide in the house every day, acting mysteriously. What secrets have you discovered?"

"Hey, I won't tell you for now. I'll show you after I'm completely done. Now, let's eat quickly."

"mean!"

In the next month, Leo used the teleportation array to conduct various experiments. It turned out that the teleportation array itself had the function of storing energy, and the amount of stored energy was proportional to the size of the teleportation array.

For example, the 10-centimeter-long cubic metal block that Leo used before can be transmitted up to 500 meters when fully charged. According to this theory, as long as there is enough energy, it is not impossible to transmit across the sea.

But Leo was not satisfied with just teleporting objects, so he found a chicken to do a live experiment. The trembling little hen screamed and ran away after the successful teleportation, leaving Leo alone in tears.

After confirming that there was no danger in teleporting living things, Leo went on to find creatures of different sizes to conduct experiments. After repeating this more than a dozen times, Leo finally had the courage to experience the teleportation array himself.

Leo took a step forward and felt the scene in front of him twist for a few tenths of a second before he arrived at the destination. After the teleportation was successful, Leo carefully checked his body and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there were no missing parts. Then Leo's mouth curled up again, and he thought of a gift for Robin.

Leo engraved the teleportation array on a 20x20x3cm light metal plate. There is a charging port on the back of the metal plate. A full charge can teleport up to 500 meters. Leo made four such metal plates in total, and usually stacked them together like a book.

Since Robin loves books so much, Leo made the teleportation array in the shape of a book. Not only is it easy to carry, it also serves as a good disguise.

……

Leo quickly finished the "book", but he felt that calling it the Book of Teleportation was too straightforward, so his middle school spirit was ignited again. First of all, he couldn't use the name "Teleportation", because who knew if it would be discovered by the World Government. After thinking for a long time, Leo finally named this creation "Secret Book of Space-Time Runes", and the pattern that Leo had always called the alchemy array was changed to Rune Technology.

Looking at the Secret Book of Space-Time Runes in his hand, Leo also had the idea of ​​trying it out.

So Leo went to the forest to test the effect. He threw down a metal plate every time he walked a certain distance. When he had the last piece left in his hand, he had walked about a thousand meters. Taking the last metal plate as the starting point, Leo activated the transmission and returned to the forest entrance in only about 10 seconds.

Looking at the familiar scene, Leo nodded with satisfaction. Although 10 seconds to travel a kilometer was not very fast, it was still pretty good. And this was not the maximum power of the Space-Time Rune Secret Book. If all the energy was consumed at once, the maximum distance it could travel was two kilometers.

After the experiment, Leo planned to go home, wash up, and then find Dr. Kloba to share the results. But just after he took a step, he suddenly remembered that there were three metal plates in the jungle. Then Leo looked at the direction of the transmission and fell into deep thought.

……

There was the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. He took a comfortable hot bath, which seemed to wash away all the fatigue of the past few days. Then he changed into clean clothes and planned to go to the library.

Just before leaving, Robin came in and said, "It's so late, why are you still going out? I want to hear you continue to tell me the story of Fishman Island."

Leo smiled and waved at Robin, and when she came in front of him, he raised his hands and pointed two fingers at Robin's forehead.

"Forgive me, Robin, maybe next time."

The little girl covered her forehead and looked at Leo with a little disappointment.

"Hahahaha, I'm just teasing you. I'm going to talk to Dr. Klopa about something. I'll be back to tell you a story soon. Do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you on the way."

Leo's words made Robin smile again: "Okay, I want the biggest one."
