[One Piece] Inferior Star

Matthew really wanted, really wanted, really wanted (there were almost a hundred thousand of them really wanted to) to prevent Youxiang from doing the next thing.First, Matthew is an artifact.He is obviously a 'machine' made by humans.Although he is very advanced and possesses extremely high intelligence, and even the body he uses now feels the same as a human being, but he is not human.

He can be said to be the embodiment of human civilization.And he himself is deeply aware of it.

The opposite of Matthew is the embodiment of human consciousness.For example, magic, ghosts, demons... things like that.In Matthew's view, these things are outright 'fallacies'.To admit their existence is to deny its own existence.It may be extreme, but after all, Matthew himself is very extreme.

Therefore, even if he saw Frey disappear out of nowhere before people's eyes, there was no heartbeat, no heart, nothing but a ball of energy.Or see him use fire, a magical fire that can only burn living things and has no effect on inorganic matter.Even if he saw this, he would never admit what it was... demons, spirits, magic or something.

Unexplainable is ok, but you can't say he's a demon, it's magic.This is not in line with Matthew's values ​​and all parameter settings.He didn't allow himself to admit it.Therefore, the more of these things, the more trouble it will cause him.

And when he heard that Youxiang wanted to summon a new 'Frey', Matthew collapsed a bit.Isn't one enough?Isn't one citron tea addict enough? !Enough with grapefruit tea!Think about the feeling of grapefruit tea for me! !

"What are they doing, brother~" Captain Bazel came to Matthew while lighting a cigarette, looked at You Xiang who was drawing strange patterns on the deck, and then whistled, "This leg... ..."

"You're sexual harassment." Matthew immediately reminded him not to do it again, and then said, "Anyway, Captain Bazel. Please stop her."

"Ah? Why?" I still want to see it.I do not want to go.Bazel said, "Why don't you go?"

"In theory, she is my master, and I have to listen to her." Matthew said solemnly, "and no matter what our relationship is, as long as she decides, she will never change her mind. A bad habit learned from a brat."

"Then it's useless for me to go." Bazel took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Besides, we're going to Upside Down Mountain soon, so let's get ready first!"

"... That's true." Anyway, she couldn't stop her, so she might as well do something else to divert her attention.Matthew thought it made sense, and he said, "Okay. I heard that there are two ways to enter the great route, one is to cross the windless belt, and the other is to reverse the mountain."

"That's right, in fact, from the perspective of the East China Sea and the South China Sea, crossing the windless belt is also possible, after all, that is the first half." Bazel replied, "But the windless belt is too long, it's a bit difficult for the child. Too cruel."

"...that kid?" Matthew always felt that he might encounter something that was 'contradictory' to his own existence, "I want to ask... how did you all cross the Upside Down Mountain before?"

It is said that there are five sea routes on the Upside Down Mountain, four of which flow from bottom to top and extend to the four seas, and the other leads to the great sea route.Therefore, the Upside Down Mountain is the starting point of the great voyage.However, because of the fierce ocean currents and the bottom-up approach, many boats would deviate from the channel or simply overturn and die in the sea.

A ship without navigators, Matthew didn't think they could do it easily and did it twice.

"Flying over." Bazel laughed while holding a cigarette, "Did I say it, I can talk to animals. Although I can't really understand the language, I can probably understand what they mean. They also Everyone is willing to listen to me."

"Yeah, I know. Disney princesses. That's all." You're all you need is a little chameleon, a bird, a snowman, or something.Matthew said, "But what happened to the flying over? Flying with people and ships?"

"That's right. After all, we're not very good at sailing. Normally, as long as there is wind, we can go, and sea kings will guide us more or less... But mountains can't help." Bazel said it for granted, as if Neptunes will lead the way for anyone, "you can only find a big one."

"big……?"

Matthew suddenly felt that he shouldn't ask any more, he just... he just pretended that he didn't know anything, as if it would be better.Bazel patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay! Don't worry! Doudou has done this twice, and he has experience! It's just a small hill! It's just going to be a little cold, and it will pass soon!"

Doudou... What the fuck is that! !Matthew really didn't dare to think about it, this place is indeed a hell.Not only the technology tree is disordered, but the biological tree is also.And people are savage.It's fine if you can't understand your own existence, and they all talk to themselves and don't listen to persuasion at all! !

Just like that little girl over there...

Youxiang has already finished drawing the magic circle that Frey said, and she tried her best to draw it well, although the circle is a little crooked!Youxiang wiped off her sweat, then put the ink aside, then picked up the cat meal that had been prepared a long time ago and put it in the circle in the middle of the magic circle.

"Frey, is that all right?"

"Your drawing is too bad!!" Frey couldn't stand it anymore, "Hey...what a headache, why did a little girl like you..." Looking at the center of the crooked magic circle , Youxiang was covered in ink all over his body, and Frey got more and more headaches.

He walked up to Youxiang and squatted down, then wiped the ink on her face and said, "Are you really going to do it? Let me tell you, summoning demons is an...addictive behavior. Because of our power After all, it is stronger than humans, but if you abuse it, you will definitely pay a price. Can you understand?"

"What kind of price?" If it's grapefruit tea and cat food...

"It's not that simple." Seeing Youxiang's inner voice again, he said, "Summoning us and using our power are two different things. Just take me as an example. I usually protect you and help you scare away a few fools or It’s one thing to see who’s thinking, but it’s another to help you achieve a certain goal instantly, to kill a specific target.”

"Different degrees?"

"The wish is different. The more urgent the wish, the more the price must be paid. If you want me to kill someone, you must give me the same sacrifice. If you want me to achieve a certain goal, you must give me the same price. So Normally, citron tea is enough, but at critical moments... I would ask for something too much? The one you want to summon is the same."

"..." That's right.Sure enough... he is a devil after all, and he still needs blood and greed.Youxiang understands that this is reasonable, but, "No matter what, I want to help Hart. I... At that time, I couldn't even cry. What kind of mood is Sabo... As for leaving, I don’t even have the ability to feel his mood.”

What exactly are Celestial Dragons?What did Dadan mean by what he said to Ace?Why Saab?Why is it him?Did he...do something wrong?Just like myself and Ace.Nothing wrong with it.So why—

Why can't the world tolerate even people who have done nothing wrong?

"I didn't understand then...and I don't know...not now. But I never got a chance to know for sure, and it's too late to even start thinking about it now. There was so much I could have done but didn't do Things, because of fear, because of sadness, because of ignorance... I didn't do anything. For my friend, for him I didn't do anything."

"I don't want that to happen again to Frey. Hart is my friend. Even if he's dead now, I won't miss an opportunity to...do something for him."

This is a bad habit I learned from those brats.Very stubborn.Do you want to avenge him?little girl?That's a...dangerous thought.But if you can really get down to it and pay the 'price', let alone revenge... Whatever you want, you can...

"Forget it. Come and summon." Frey gave up trying to persuade her, "This is your own decision, as long as you don't regret it."

"Yeah." I won't regret it.Although Hart told me to run away, I will not run away.If only a little information is known, it will be killed, and everyone will be in danger.Although I'm not...a righteous hero, but since I hurt my friend, I won't run away alone as if nothing happened.

"Specifically, you only need to put the sacrifice and call his name. You have a special physique, so you don't need any other special rituals." Frey said, "But since the sacrifice this time is Cat food, then call his pet's name."

okay!Devil's pet, isn't it?What could it be?A few middle school names like "Red Lotus Arrow" and "Pale Wailing" appeared in Youxiang's mind.Anyway, the 'names' of these demons still look like that, so the names of the pets must be—

"Pop."

"…………what?"

"His cat's name is Sir Poppy."

——What the hell is going on with you demons! !Such a cute name doesn't suit a devil at all! !Not allowed!Don't use it on things related to demons or anything! !

calm!calm down!I'll complain about them later... Youxiang calmed down, and then called out the cat's name: "Plop!!"

"........."

"........."

"...??"

There was a few seconds of silence on the deck, and even the crew members who were working turned their heads and looked at Youxiang like a fool.Youxiang blushed and punched Frey: "There's nothing!!"

"You are waiting! How can it be so fast? Do you think you are calling!!" Frey had just finished speaking, when suddenly, there was a huge, strange, meowing sound that seemed to come from a distant sea level It rang.As soon as this voice appeared, You Xiang couldn't hear it for an instant.

She couldn't hear all the sounds outside.Whether it was the sound of the waves hitting the boats, the voices of the bandits chatting and working, or Matthew complaining about Bazel, they were all inaudible.Only meowing and...a slow footstep.It was as if someone had stepped out of the shadows of the deck!

"Meow~~"

A huge, too huge three-color cat just appeared in front of Youxiang. It was round, about as tall as a person, with a round head and eyes narrowed into slits.It meowed, then stuck out its tongue and licked Youxiang's face.Then he bowed his head and began to eat cat food.

It's so prickly...it's a real cat's tongue, but...youxiang touched her licked cheek, and looked at the three-color cat in surprise, it was too big...and so round!

"It's really a rare visitor~ You are the one calling me!" A boy appeared behind the cat. He looked about the same size as Youxiang. He was wearing a brown leather armor. He looked like an ordinary human boy. With a hearty smile, "Arrogant bride! When we first met, I am 'omniscient', a newborn demon, neutral, and the truth. Thank you for your sacrifice! Actually, you don't need this!"

"..." This, this young man is... all-knowing?Why are you demons so... completely different from the ones in the legends?Youxiang was too surprised, it was completely different from the omniscient devil she imagined.There is also this cat, although it is huge and round, but the fur looks very easy to touch, I really want to touch it...

"You can touch her! Pupu won't bite you!" Just like Frey, he laughed at the demon who sees through other people's hearts and doesn't take it seriously. He said, "You can touch her!"

After hearing this, You Xiang started to touch it.After all, who can resist a huge and docile furry in front of him!Sure enough, it feels...it feels super good...ah, it's so comfortable...

"Meow~~" Pupu cried out as if he was very happy.

"It's so cute..." Youxiang just muttered something like this, and Frey leaned over to her and said, "This cat can eat people's souls—or bite people's heads. It's not a cute thing. "

"Oh!" Frey is really a sight!Youxiang quickly withdrew her hand, let's get down to business first!She said to Quan Zhi, "Well, thank you for your willingness to come out...Actually, I have something I want to ask you for help."

"Well... you want to ask me something, I understand." Quanzhi nodded, and he said, "Since it is an arrogant bride, there is no need for sacrifices! We are already a family!"

"……What?"

"Huh? Don't you know? Ah! You don't know! Then just pretend I didn't say anything!" Omniscient said, "What do you want to ask me? Hmm... Don Quixote Xixidi...do you want to know his whereabouts? But, this person has already..."

"Frey...he started asking and answering by himself..." Before Youxiang could say anything, the demon opposite had already completed the whole conversation by himself.

"Well, he's like that. Just get used to it." Frey said it was normal.

"Mr. Quanzhi..." Youxiang yelled and began to mutter to himself, "Excuse me... Lieutenant General Rossindi, where is he... now? Can you tell me? I have some important things to think about." Ask him yourself."

"I can't answer this question...youxiang." Quanzhi frowned slightly, and said, "This is no longer possible."

"Hey? Why... that, is it because... it will cause danger to him?! By the way, why didn't I think that... the Emerald Isle Company might also treat him—"

"Youxiang." Quanzhi interrupted Youxiang's soliloquy, he said, "It's not because of that...but because, he is dead."

"what……?"

"He died 11 years ago." Quan Zhi's expression did not fluctuate, and he stated the fact calmly, "So he has gone to a place that we cannot reach."

"Yes, that's how it is..." It turned out that Lieutenant General Luo Xidi had also... Youxiang said, "Is it also Emerald Island..."

"No. He died in another undercover mission." Quanzhi replied, "The Emerald Isle Company was not directly involved. It can be said that it has nothing to do with them."

In this way... the only possible clue is gone.Could it be that the only way is to steal the navy's password solution... Or, go to Dressrosa first and investigate the real murderer of Hart before...

"Youxiang." The all-knowing voice interrupted Youxiang, and he said, "You can ask one more question. About Rosindy."

"Huh? Ask one more question?"

"Hmmm. That's the real right question. Ask me." Omniscient laughed. "This will be an important choice, bride. It's an honor that you chose me to guide it all. It will affect you soon... you The most important decision ever. So ask me!"

I don't know what you are talking about!How do you speak is harder than Frey and Matthew!Youxiang looked at the boy, it seemed that he was really a demon.At least not humans.That tone, as if he knew what was about to happen, clearly said that he could not answer questions about the future, but this temperament also made people wonder whether it was just a restriction on human beings, not his real can't do it.

"Lieutenant General Rossindi, how did he..."

"That's not the question." Quanzhi interrupted her, "You have to ask the right question, Youxiang."

"Ah...?" What the hell is it... About Lieutenant General Rossindi... Now that he has died, how can he... Youxiang tried to say: "Lieutenant General Luoxindi hid the information in... "

"Not this one either."

"Why did he..."

"No."

"...How can I get what he knows?"

Hearing this question, Quan Zhi did not say no, but said with a very bright smile: "Just ask him himself."

But... but he has already... sacrificed?Youxiang looked at Quanzhi in surprise and bewilderment, and then said hesitantly, "How can I...ask him himself?"

Knowing and smiling, he patted Pupu's head that was coming close to him, and said, "This is the right question. Bride. Let's change the future."

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

The author has something to say:

Omniscient does not really know the future, he is a demon who can answer any question.He may not know the principle, nor the reason.He just knows the answer.If you need an explanation, you need to ask the next question. (Most people ask questions that require a price)

Therefore, you can only ask him questions about what has happened in the past because...the future he knows cannot tell you~

Maybe there will be a story today to let everyone know about these demons~
