Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"This is really a surprising discovery."

Nami couldn't help but speak as she looked at the scene before her.

In ancient cities, after people passed through the unremarkable residential area and walked a short distance forward, they would enter a place similar to a factory.

And all the pipes that everyone had discovered before, whose uses were unknown, seemed to have converged here.

And the end point of each pipe after passing through a complicated path is actually a small room.

And in the room, was the small robot that Luffy had first discovered.

Bai Ye looked around at the densely packed room that almost filled the entire factory, and said:

"Based on a preliminary look, there should be nearly a thousand of them. It looks like Luffy has indeed discovered a pretty remarkable place."

"Hahaha, isn't that right? It's a very interesting discovery!"

Luffy, who was standing by, heard this and said very proudly.

After all, he was the first person to discover this place, and that was the greatest fun of the adventure.

Share your joy with others!

"So, the robot from before ran out from here?"

Sanji spoke up.

"But before we opened the underground cave, where did they leave from? Is there another exit here?"

Usopp on the side raised a different opinion: "Besides, the previous robot is easy to distinguish from these robots in terms of clothing."

The little robot that Luffy had discovered before was wearing military uniform, a military helmet, and holding a flintlock rifle.

And now the many robots in front of everyone are all wearing identical white robes, soldier helmets, and holding spears as weapons.

Of course, there is also the most conspicuous pair of small wings.

From this perspective, the two robots do not seem to be the same, at least not from the same batch.

"Right!" Usopp said at this time: "Didn't Franky want to repair the robot just now? If he repaired it, maybe we would know the answer."

"It just so happens that Franky and the others seem to be back." At this time, Bai Ye also spoke.

As soon as the words fell, everyone heard the roar of a chariot.

Usopp turned around and waved his hand excitedly, saying, "Yes, it's Franky Tank Mode, and Chopper is sitting on it. And the four robots at the back, it looks like Franky has indeed repaired them."

"Wait... 4?!!!"

With Usopp's exclamation, everyone realized that in addition to Franky, Chopper and the small robot that everyone had seen before, there were actually three more robots.

Although all of the little robots look exactly the same, the costumes of the other three robots are clearly unique.

Especially to Bai Ye, it seemed quite familiar.

The robot that everyone discovered at the beginning looked very similar to the outfit of a soldier from a country that called itself a beacon in the previous life.

There were three left, one of whom looked like the soldier who had shouted "Ura, Charge!"

One is the most classic outfit of a medieval knight from a certain continent.

As for the last one, he looks very much like a general from a certain Sakura Country.

Although the shapes of these four robots are different, compared with the robots in ancient cities, they are obviously made by the same batch or the same person.

This was soon confirmed by Franky.

"What?!!!"

Usopp was a little bit unbelievable. He pointed at the four robots behind Franky and Chopper and said:

"You mean, these guys are from the same place as us?!!!"

"They all came to the moon from the sea?!!!"

Like Usopp, the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates were also frightened by Franky's words.

"Ouch~ That's right."

Franky posed first, then pointed at the robot in the factory and said:

"But I didn't expect there are so many robots like them here."

As he was talking, Franky couldn't resist his curiosity and walked up to fiddle with a robot.

"It seems that this batch of robots was manufactured earlier."

"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't the point." Usopp reacted and said, "The point should be how those robots got to the moon."

"Did they build an ark, too?"

Just as Usopp was questioning Franky's soul, a small voice suddenly came from behind him.

"balloon."

"We flew up there in a balloon."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw the soldier-like robot looking as if it was a matter of course and stretched out its right hand.

And above the right hand, there is an unblown balloon.

...

For a moment, the entire factory fell into an eerie silence.

But not long after, a few exclamations were heard again.

"Wow! Franky spoke!" Luffy shouted.

"I told you, not all robots are called Franky, you idiot." Nami complained helplessly.

"It's actually a balloon? Interesting." Robin said with interest.

"Hmm... Can I fly with a balloon?" Zoro muttered to himself, as if he had thought of something.

Unlike everyone else's surprise, Bai Ye even wanted to laugh at this moment.

Because when he saw in the original work that these little robots grabbed a (note it was a) balloon and rose into space and landed on the moon, his reaction was exactly the same as theirs.

That guy Oda really doesn't care about Newton's coffin at all.

Fortunately, everyone was generous, so it didn't take long for them to accept the fact that the robot could talk and the balloon could rise into the sky.

Next, everyone gathered around these robots and listened carefully to their stories.

-

On the Grand Line, there is a place called Mechanical Island, where there is a country called Balkimoia.

At the same time, this country is also known as the "country where geniuses are born."

The robot was created by a man named Dr. Yuejian in this country.

They have been accompanying Dr. Yuejian since the first day their "will" was born.

Dr. Tsukimi is a very kind old man. He usually does research in the laboratory during the day, and at night, he just sits on the steps outside his house to look at the moon.

Every time at this time, the robot would sit with Dr. Tsukimi, eating the dumplings made by Dr. Tsukimi herself and listening to the stories about the moon that Dr. Tsukimi told from time to time.

Dr. Tsukimi's hometown is on the moon, but he has never seen it and has no way to go back.

So admiring the moon every day is Dr. Tsukimi’s favorite thing to do.

"Dumpling... Sanji, I'm a little hungry too~"

Luffy suddenly spoke up.
