Adventures in Shura Field

I hate this world.

Matthew stood under the concert stage, just supervising the process of building the stage so tiring.And this country...is not in line with my attributes.If you want to talk about the reason, of course it is - a toy!

That's right.Why is the toy alive?Not a machine, not a synthetic, not having any artificial intelligence elements.It's just... the toy moves.soul?Don't talk about souls with high-level artificial intelligence.Can you use 0 and 1 to explain the existence of the soul?Shut up if you can't.

Importantly, half the people who build stages are now toys!I can't even hide, damn it, let me, Matthew, use the power of science to uncover the secrets of toys in this country! !No one can make me agree with... the theory of the soul!Absurd! !

Matthew made up his mind in his heart, but he is not a fool. It is impossible for him to ask those toys directly (not because he refuses to talk to the existence that he cannot explain), so he grabbed a supervisor next to him Humans came over and said: "Speaking of... Did Dressrosa have toys before?"

"Huh? What kind of question are you asking, manager!" The supervisor seemed very strange, and he smiled wryly, "Toys are toys, they are always there?"

"Always there?" Although there is no Internet in this world, Matthew still collected some information as much as possible.In the Straw Hat Pirates, the person named Robin is an archaeologist, and he got a lot of books and information about history from her.And none of this information contains anything about 'toys'.

living toys.If this species really existed since ancient times, it is unlikely that it would not have been documented.In Robin's book about Dressrosa, only part of the content of the little people and the Don Quixote family is mentioned.This is probably the most special place in this country.The rest of the flowers, peace and the like are just human clichés.Matthew is tired.

"Yeah...at least..." The overseer seemed to be thinking hard, as if he had never realized the problem before, "They've been around since as long as I can remember."

From as long as you can remember, not as long as you can remember?This narrative made people feel strange, and Matthew felt that he might not get any effective information from humans.He scanned the person's biological information, he didn't lie, he really didn't remember.He couldn't remember, and he didn't care.

It is probably because the existence of toys has become commonplace and integrated into everyone's life, so people are also accustomed to it, and few people study and think about it.It should come as no surprise that humans are such lazy creatures.It's still weird though.

For example, the little people, according to legend, there is a reason why they were able to settle in Dressrosa.Their origins, ecology... Although they are limited to legends and vague records, everything can be traced back to the source.You can find some clues in the history, which is the proof of their being a 'naturally evolved species'.If, and only if...

If the 'toys' of this country are also a race, then they must also have evidence of this evolution.Whether it is history or legend, there must be some clues.If not, it means that they and themselves, that is, like artificial intelligence, were created by humans.

This is where things get complicated.Why are these 'toys' made?Their work efficiency is not much higher than that of humans, and some even cannot work well due to structural problems.That is, they were not made for efficiency.That is not in line with the basic pursuit of human beings. They will manufacture 'tools' just to improve efficiency and save costs.

If analyzed in this way, there is only the last possibility, and there may be others, but only this one has the highest probability, and that is...

These toys were forced to be made for some reason.If you don't make 'toys', you're going to have more trouble, so keep making them even if they're not efficient.Rather, having them work is just incidental value.Their real meaning of existence is to cover up a certain 'secret'.

That makes sense.That's right, it's me.It took Matthew about a second to complete the above inferences. After he figured it out, he smiled at the supervisor: "I see, I'm just a little curious. How is the progress of the stage?"

"Oh! Don't worry! We will make sure that Meixia-chan's concert will be held smoothly!" The supervisor immediately showed a smile, and he said, "Well, Mr. Manager..."

"I'll give you Summer-chan's signature."

"Wow! Thank you!" Great!I knew what I was going to say before I even opened my mouth!The supervisor happily accepted the signature, "My daughter likes Meixia sauce very much, she has been begging me to come!"

"That's right, then give her this limited edition merchandise as well." As he spoke, Matthew took out another Mitsuya doll as a reward for providing me with effective information, human beings!Thanks Dade! !

"Is it okay?! Thank you so much! Mr. Broker! Oh, now I have confidence when I go home!"

Human beings are really easy to coax, very good, very good, just work for me with a grateful heart.Matthew wore a standard professional smile, but the information about the toy that he had just deduced was of no use, so it was better not to report it to others.Wait until you learn more about it.

After all, if it's just for 'hiding secrets', it doesn't seem to conflict with everyone's plan.If you want to avoid high-profile things, it's only natural not to pursue such things-that is to say, but those people are troublesome guys who don't play their cards according to common sense.And Matthew, as an 'veteran' who often wiped the ass of this kind of people, he was ready.

There's no way around it, and in the end, it's up to Mei Xia to deal with the aftermath for you.You must remember the great kindness of Uncle Matthew... Forget it, it is impossible for human beings to have this self-awareness.

——I vaguely felt the narration of "Matthew gave up".

Katori feels weird when walking.But there should be no problem.He and Ace originally wanted to help Luffy solve the trouble, but they were almost recognized by the contestants present. Fortunately, the pink-haired gladiator girl pulled them away in time.

"My name is Rebecca..." The girl kept looking at Katori, and she said, "People like you rarely come to this arena. It's better not to attract too much attention when you come here for the first time. .”

"Oh! Thank you! Rebecca! I thought it was going to be troublesome!" Luffy was very heartbroken, and he immediately laughed and said, "I, Luffy——"

"Lucy. His name is Lucy!" Ace immediately corrected his younger brother, he said, "I'm Alan, and this one over here is Katori. Thank you, Rebecca. If you are surrounded by those people, I can't get away for a while."

"Yeah. But...it's not unreasonable for them to mistake you for famous people." Rebecca is a girl who speaks very softly, she said, "Because the championship prize of this competition is the famous burning fruit , there are many people who want to obtain the ability to burn fruit to achieve their own goals."

This is also a problem.Although the Shao Shao fruit was copied smoothly, it was an inevitable measure to ensure that I "live well".But after all, this fruit is no different from the original version in terms of efficacy. If it falls into the hands of troublesome people, Ace himself will not be happy.If you can win the championship, you will be able to solve this trouble smoothly... Or if you can find someone worthy of entrusting the fruit in this arena, it would be good.

"Just now I saw a lot of old faces on the arrest warrant..." My fruit is really popular, and my mood is a bit complicated.Ace said, "But anyway, why are you in this arena? Sorry. I just don't think you look like..."

"I am a sword fighter in the arena." Rebecca didn't seem to mind, she said, "There are many sword fighters like me in this arena. Everyone will also participate as a player when the competition is held."

Is it the one responsible for increasing the number of people... Still weird.Rebecca's temperament seems to be different from other people here, and she always feels that there is something hidden.Hey, I said Princess Killer, what are you talking about... Ace looked at Katori after thinking about it, but Katori and Luffy had already started to lose their minds.

"Wow, Xiangxiang, look at this statue, it's so handsome!" Luffy said, pointing to a statue in the corridor.

"Hmm! This helmet looks like... The Mandalorian!" Katori immediately echoed, "It says... Cyrus, the strongest sword fighter... Is it a famous person?"

"What is a Mandalorian?"

"They are so handsome! They are the strongest mercenaries in the galaxy!"

"What is the Milky Way?"

"that is--"

"Stop." If you continue talking, the theme of this story will change again.Ace immediately stopped their conversation, "Okay, it's time for us to go back. I remember the players should be divided into groups, right?"

"Yeah." Rebecca also nodded, and she said, "Let's go back. I hope we won't end up killing each other in the first place."

"Will this uncle also participate?" Lu Fei followed up with Ace, pointing to the statue and asked, "If he is the strongest, he should be the champion, right?"

"No...he's not here." Rebecca replied, "Although according to the records, he should have been the most watched star in this arena, but no one remembers him. He is like a ghost... Maybe it didn't exist in the first place, it's just a hero imagined by the people here."

An imaginary hero... Katori looked back at the statue again.Doesn't Cyrus, the strongest sword fighter, really exist? Would people cast such a magnificent statue just based on fantasy?

"However, I think he is very imposing!" Luffy replied, "I like it very much!"

"Yeah. I like it too." Rebecca smiled, and then she looked at Katori again, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, as if she was hesitating.After Katori noticed it, she looked at her and smiled and said, "You seem to have something to tell me from the beginning, Miss Rebecca."

"...Although...those people said straw hat Luffy, I also think they are mistaken. But you...is 'Star Destruction'." Absolutely not wrong.I've... seen it.Even in this dark arena, I saw your broadcast, and I heard your words.I have seen what you look like.I will not admit my mistake...

After all, no one would recognize the sun as anything else.

Rebecca said, "Aren't you the one who said at Marin Vand... to be the sun of the people?"

"..." Rebecca's eyes were full of longing.She was looking for an affirmative answer. She didn't know if it was an illusion. Katori could feel the despair on the verge of collapse from her tone.Although you stand here full of tough and powerful temperament, in the final analysis, you also have unspeakable difficulties, don't you?

Katori paused, he stopped in his tracks, put his hand on the hilt of the Dawn Sword, and said, "There's no point in keeping it secret now, yes. I'm 'Star Destroyer'. I'm the one on Marlin Vanduo , the one who tries to become the sun."

"It's really..." It turned out...it's true... After hearing this sentence, Rebecca suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, and she didn't know why.It's as if you have made up your mind to fight to the death, but suddenly a hero descends from the sky and tells you: You don't have to die alone.

A hero has his benefits, but it can also shake all your resolve.

"Why...why did you come here?" Rebecca couldn't believe it, she used to secretly think that Xinghui was a ridiculous person.What became the sun of the people, if he meant it, why didn't he come to Dressrosa?The people here are living in the lies of deceit, enjoying bloody tyranny, and building cheap pleasure on the pain of others.

This place is a country of passion on the surface, but it is actually a scorching hell.People live under the sun, but don't feel it.If you really want to do it, why not come here?

However, the news about Xingrui is endless. Although many of them are imitators of him, he did ignite something.It takes the sun for the stars to shine.Rebecca also imagined that one day, maybe, maybe that Star Destroyed was real.He really can do it.Even if it summoned more than twenty meteorites to submerge the island, it would be better than living like a prop.

But when Xinghui really stood in front of his eyes, that thought disappeared again.Rebecca looked at him, what stuck in her throat was not questioning or mocking words, but the desire to ask for help——

Please help me.Please help me.

I want to live in that sun again, I want to...

Her voice can be heard.Her desperation could be felt.Teacher All Might, can you hear it too, that's why you force yourself to stand upright.Could it be that you can't turn a blind eye to such gazes, so you drag your broken body and swing your fists again and again.

If it were you, if you were standing here, what would you say to Rebecca?You look into her eyes and you will... no.I am not you, Mr. All Might.I don't know what you're going to do, I just...do what I think is right.If it's not right, punish me when I'm back.But right now, I have to do it.

When that moment comes, you will know that you should step up.

Katoro stepped forward, and he took Rebecca's hand.Ace behind him seemed to want to say something, but he still couldn't say it.Katori didn't care, but smiled: "I will do my best. Miss Rebecca."

"Hey, hey..." It was you who said to focus on the burning fruit!Ace scratched his head helplessly.

"I'm not a pirate, and I'm not a competitor," Katori said. "I'm 'Star Destroyer,' and Star Destruction is, without a doubt, a hero. No hero would turn a blind eye to such a stare. I will fight, to A hero's stand. Mr. Allen."

"I know, I know..." I really can't do anything with you, a great hero.Who said that even my life was saved by you, a hero.For no particular reason, without even knowing who I am.Taking action just because of ridiculous reasons like 'someone asked me for help' and 'I hope everyone is happy'.

I heard that those heroes move their bodies before they think.Perhaps, they are born heroes.After all, the hero in front of him didn't know anything at all, so he was about to start acting.Although it makes people speechless, it is also annoying.

"I'll try my best to help you." Ace spread his hands, "But you know, that's all, I can't help..."

"I know! I can only rely on myself! Don't underestimate me! I am also someone who can fight back and forth with the repair master!" Katori said that she is also very strong!perhaps!He said, "I also remember the things Mr. Aizawa taught me, and I also took the hero rescue class well!"

"Who is the repairer?"

"That's the one, you've seen it too. The guy with the mask and gloves and the fierce eyes."

"Huh—is it true or not? Call him back and forth? Wow..." Then I really underestimated you.That guy was kind of scary just looking at it.Ace said, "But that person must have put water on you, right?"

"…………"snort!Katori narrowed his eyes slightly, he looked at Ace and said, "Do you not believe me?"

"I'm not, I don't." I don't dare to believe you, if I dare, you will be abducted by boy Luo!I mean the original you, now you can just run with him.Ace said emphatically, "However, the hero course is different from actual combat. What you have to face are vicious guys?"

"I've seen a lot of people like that." Just look at the dead handle wooden hanging and you'll know it.Oh, you haven't seen him yet, luckily not.Katori replied, "Besides, I have also stopped wars and defeated (persuaded surrender) the Demon King. Although I don't think it is very simple to do something here, but... a hero cannot surrender to any enemy. Once you decide to become A hero must never fall before those enemies."

"therefore……"

Katori gripped the hilt of Chenxi Sword tightly, and said, "Therefore, the enemy cannot defeat me."

The author has something to say:

Matthew is actually very tolerant of simple people. (Shh, don't say it out loud, he'll hear it)

I think, with Xiangxiang's strength, it's not a problem to deal with a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals. The more troublesome ones are... those few people who will be more troublesome to anyone.But of course, we have a second brother, don't be afraid!What's up with the second brother! (?)

Cang Cang officially started working from home today. I hope everything goes well and the epidemic will end soon. The main reason is that I ran out of snacks and was trapped in the village. I really want to eat McDonald's (lay flat)
