Chapter 163 This Is a Worse World
This is a world of rottenness, but when the navy of the generation of Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, and Zephyr first became navy, they all wanted to protect the people and completely eliminate the pirates.
But just like the dreams of youth will eventually be shattered as they grow older, they also have their own choices in the face of reality.
Garp chose not to be promoted to admiral, so that he would not be responsible for the protection of the Celestial Dragons and could continue to arrest pirates on the sea.
As for completely destroying the pirates, the essence of this dream is to allow ordinary people in the world to survive and not be so difficult.
However, it is not about pirates at all...
The fundamental order is wrong. In this world of rottenness, pirates, navy, world government, or the upcoming Seven Warlords of the Sea are just worse than one another.
But the middle and high-level navy, such as Borsalino and Kuzan, their ideas are still worth fighting for. As long as they are given the hope of success, they are willing to take a gamble after their ideas are transformed.
People in this world... often have dreams that are bigger than life.
This is also the reason why the people captured by the Revolutionary Army in the past few years are basically able to be fearless of death.
Borsalino was a little confused at this time. After he was about to become the highest combat force of the Navy, he gradually understood some secrets about the World Government and this world.
And the more he understood, the more helpless he felt about this world.
As a navy, even if he became one of the highest combat forces, all he could do was to maintain it and do his duty as a navy admiral, which was ambiguous to a certain extent.
This is his justice.
However, the revolutionary army in front of him now said that he needed his help to fight against that absolute power.
Really, Borsalino himself didn't think he could have such a big role.
That kind of power that really destroyed an island in an instant like a natural disaster, even he could only rely on speed to save himself.
Borsalino smacked his lips habitually and frowned: "Haha... I didn't know I had such a big role, it's really scary."
Kevin said: "Eight hundred years ago, the war between the twenty kings and the huge kingdom affected the entire world. If you want to change the world, the power of one person is not enough, Borsalino."
"The progress of science and technology is the primary productive force. The power of the spear has appeared, so the appearance of the shield also needs to start from the technology, right?"
Technology?
Borsalino squinted under his sunglasses: "Vegapunk is with you, right? Although Sakaski and Kuzan are in charge of the demon-killing order in O'Hara, I was still stationed in Shampoo at that time, but I went to O'Hara afterwards."
"Those books burned by the World Government are not the original books, right? Your revolutionary army took away all the knowledge and replaced it, and perhaps took away some scholars?"
Faced with these guessed questions, Kevin smiled and nodded.
Since the other party has not reported this speculation for such a long time, to a certain extent, this future general has already held hope for the revolutionary army.
In memory, Borsalino has always been speculated to be an undercover sent by the Revolutionary Army to the Navy because of his ambiguous justice, but it is obviously not.
Luffy beat the Celestial Dragons, Zephyr left the Navy, fought with his apprentice, and pierced Vegapunk with his own hands...
He was helpless against all these, but he still performed his duties as a Navy officer.
What really gave him a glimmer of hope should be the garrison of the Sabaody Archipelago and the Celestial Dragons who were killed one after another by Kevin.
The Five Elders between the powers speculated correctly that the Celestial Dragons, who were high above like gods in the past, had never been killed by any pirate or anyone.
Only the cloaked men of the Revolutionary Army overturned and killed gods one after another.
In this case, after several years, people who knew the inside story have begun to have different ideas.
This is the case with Kuzan, Borsalino, and even Sengoku has a certain deviation.
You must know that during the admiral period, the current Sengoku Marshal truly obeyed orders and obeyed the World Government. But not long ago, when Bartelnomí's identity in Lasgapu Town was in question, he did not choose to report it.
"You should know about ancient weapons, right?"
Kevin seemed to ask immediately, and then continued: "At present, I don't know whether the weapon on Mary Geoise is one of the ancient weapons."
"But according to the known information, that kind of weapon cannot be used without scruples. The huge energy consumption requires a certain amount of time to store energy."
"In addition, we currently have clues of unlimited energy here. But Mary Geoise should also know it, so do you understand what this means?"
Borusalino murmured: "Whoever takes the first step will..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, rubbing his painful forehead with one hand.
At present, perhaps it is true that the weapon on Mary Geoise cannot be used unlimitedly as the intelligence of the Revolutionary Army said.
But once the energy problem is solved.
"The eight hundred years of disputes in this world will become a foregone conclusion from now on. No one can resist them, and the whole world will always be under their oppression."
[Note: This sentence is the original words of the Five Elders between Power, the one that destroyed the Kingdom of Lulucia. The reason for choosing Lulucia is that it is close. 】
After a while, Borsalino raised his head slightly: "I want to meet Vegapunk."
Kevin was silent for a while: "I need to consult Dr. Vegapunk. If he agrees to meet you, I will bring him here."
The security and secrecy issues at Baldigo are now handled by the new technology of the institute, and there is basically no need to worry about accidental discovery.
But the location of the headquarters, with Borsalino's current level of thinking, cannot take him there. This is a principle and for safety.
After Borsalino agreed, Kevin left a shadow clone and disappeared directly on the spot.
After sneaking into Mary Geoise, the ability of the clone has basically been exposed, and it is still necessary to guard the coordinate points left behind as a precaution.
"You have a lot of abilities."
Borsalino glanced at Kevin's shadow clone: "So you also released these slaves in Marijoa, right? You should have done more than just these when you sneaked into Marijoa."
The shadow clone replied: "I did find out a lot of things, such as the one that your navy is most concerned about because of the God Valley incident, and I killed two more."
Two?
Borsalino's sunglasses dropped a little at this, of course he would not think that these two were ordinary guards, thinking of the three Celestial Dragons killed in the Sabaody Archipelago in the past.
Obviously, two more were killed.
This guy... is really the natural enemy of the Celestial Dragons.
Exhaling, Borsalino looked at Kevin's mask: "I always feel that your true identity should not be ordinary. With so many abilities, judging from your purpose, you should be a central point in this sea."
"A great pirate who has established a territory in the New World, a high-ranking official of the World Government, or a vice admiral or above in the Navy Headquarters? No need to answer, I'm just saying some of my guesses."
"I don't want to stand on the side immediately before getting a definite answer. If I knew your true identity, I'm afraid I would have to join."
The shadow clone smiled: "You are wrong, even if you join, you won't know my true identity. In the Revolutionary Army, very few people know my identity."
Borsalino's eyes narrowed slightly.
So, the other party is really one of those he just guessed?
No, not even a great pirate.
In such a secretive situation, it is only possible that the other party is lurking in the World Government or the Navy.
"Thinking too much will make you old."
The voice of the shadow clone interrupted his thoughts: "Who knows... I gave you the task of distinguishing slaves?"
Borusalino's eyes widened slightly, but then he shook his head: "The Buddha form of the mythical beast species human-human fruit has been confirmed for decades, but you are not affected by seastone at all."
The shadow clone seemed to be interested, and deliberately glanced at Borsalino and said: "Yes... decades. Now there is hope, isn't it appropriate to turn the navy into a real navy?"
At this time, Kevin's real body appeared with the chattering Vegapunk.
"What's good about that guy?"
"The energy shield startup program project over there is at a critical moment, can't he wait here for two days?"
Kevin next to Vegapunk kept smiling, turned his head and glared at his shadow clone, and then dispersed it directly.
The shadow clone is getting more and more crooked now, and the last call with Tina was the same, and there was also Hancock.
Saying ambiguous words to girls, and now teasing Borsalino, his head hurts.
Borsalino, who saw Vegapunk, pointed directly at his head: "Why is your head smaller?"
Vegapunk touched his head: "The amount of knowledge stored is too large, so I made a cloud storage and cut off the head, but the processor is still too slow at present."
He looked over and said simply: "Why are you looking for me? I'm very busy. Do you think you can just drink coffee and read newspapers like you every day? If you have anything to ask, hurry up, I have to go back as soon as possible."
Borsalino sighed helplessly: "Zhan Taowan has been looking for you for several years. Before I came out, he asked me to inquire about your information."
Zhan Taowan...
These words made Vegapunk's mood calm down: "Tell him that I am safe, just do what you think is right. That child is your disciple, and in terms of talent... If he is involved in the waves caused by the power of this world, he will die."
Borsalino thought for a moment and nodded.
The child who called him old man was asked by Vegapunk to teach him.
Talent and inner determination are far from enough to step into the vortex that is about to turn.
"That's all? If you are done, take me back, sir."
Kevin grabbed him and said, "There is more, don't worry, Doctor."
As he said that, Kevin leaned over and said, "Isn't the research and development of energy shield the best laser? There is progress in bloodline factors, don't we have a ready-made one here?"
(⊙o⊙)!
Vegapunk clapped his hands suddenly, and he was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he looked at Borsalino with shining eyes.
"We are old friends, too. We haven't seen each other for so many years, so we need to reminisce about the past. Forget about Zhan Taomaru, now an old friend needs your help."
"Ask anything you want, just give me a tube of blood. No, no, two tubes of blood..."
Vegapunk grabbed Borsalino's arm and said, "Let's take ten tubes. You're busy as a reserve admiral in the navy, so we don't have to come to you to get them later, right?"
The glowing look in Borsalino's eyes frightened him a little. He pulled his hand away, but he found that the old man was holding it tightly.
How about elementalization?
Looking at the masked cloaked man who was staring at him, he thought it would be better to be honest.
In the end, Borsalino still pried open Vegapunk's hand one finger at a time: "I do have a lot of things I want to ask you. I can give you blood, but only three tubes."
Vegapunk thought for a while and nodded, looking at Kevin and said, "Please go home and ask them to bring three tubes of No. 1."
After a while, three giant test tubes that could only be held firmly were brought over. Rather than test tubes, it would be more appropriate to say that they were giant measuring cups.
This made Borsalino's upper body directly elementalized, ready to run away at any time. With so much blood drawn out, he would die even if he could return his life.
Finally, under Borsalino's vow to die, the giant measuring cup was replaced with an ordinary large test tube.
And Borsalino also asked the question he really cared about.
"How strong is the defensive power of the energy shield?"
Vegapunk looked at him: "I know what you want to ask. With the current progress of the project, it is not enough to defend against such an attack."
Borsalino's eyes dimmed when he heard it.
But then Vegapunk said: "But if infinite energy is created first, and combined with O'Hara's knowledge and the sample of the ancient kingdom, it is possible to resist that kind of attack."
Borsalino's sunglasses flashed.
So... is this hope?
Hope that has never appeared in the past eight hundred years is also the real reliance of this era.
But the sample of the ancient kingdom?
Kevin looked at him: "This is also what I just said I need your help. The huge mechanical soldier that attacked Marijoa two hundred years ago was the product of the ancient kingdom eight hundred years ago."
"After sleeping for six hundred years, it still restored the energy core that can climb up to Marijoa to attack. This is what the World Government wants, and what we want."
"Vinsmoke Judge is currently a substitute for Dr. Vegapunk, so they will definitely transport that thing to Punk Hazard."
Borsalino looked at Kevin: "So you want me to inform you at any time? The defense level of the research institute is very high. Even in my discovery, many places are monitored by Den Den Mushi."
Kevin smiled: "So you are willing to bet everything?"
The answer just now has already made his position clear to some extent. After determining his position, the inertial thinking has made him start from the perspective of the Revolutionary Army.
Borsalino adjusted his sunglasses: "Just like what the gentleman said, if you don't try, then you will never know whether it will succeed, right? And now, compared to the past 800 years, we should have the most hope, after all, five Celestial Dragons have died."
The death of the Celestial Dragons is the beginning of all this.
It also proves that God will die if he is killed, and the hope of resistance will be successful.
After Kevin gave Borsalino a big book, he also left an anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi on this Forsat Island, which he brought with him when he went to the institute this time.
In the end, Vegapunk also got what he wanted and drew three tubes of Borsalino's blood, and then he was overjoyed and let Kevin take him back.
Before leaving, Kevin said to Borsalino: "Read that book seriously. It is the central idea of the Revolutionary Army. It also contains the bottom line of the Revolutionary Army and the plan for the future world order."
"Power can infinitely satisfy the desires of life, and under the corrosion of this desire, the dragon slayer is also very likely to become a new evil dragon."
"One day in the future, if the Revolutionary Army that changed the world calls itself a god, moves to Marijoa and changes its name to become a new Celestial Dragon, it is not impossible."
"But the idea... the idea of revolutionary resistance is planted, and the principle of always being vigilant can ease this situation and allow the future evil dragon to appear and someone to slay the dragon."
"The future I dream of is all in that book."
Borsalino looked at the thick book with a red cover in his hand, and his eyes became serious.
"I will read it carefully."
"If the things I risked my life to do are still unchanged in the end, and the Revolutionary Army becomes a new evil dragon, then my life and the lives sacrificed to realize the ideal, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"
Kevin stretched out his hand and fell on Borsalino's shoulder.
This time, there was no elemental transformation to avoid, but Kevin also did not take the opportunity to leave space coordinates.
Just like Dragon and others, he did not leave coordinates on anyone except Ginny, and only asked them to bring a kunai.
Similarly, Kevin handed a kunai to Borsalino: "If there is danger, I can get there instantly if I am contacted. Of course, Marijoa is an exception, they have things or abilities that restrain space transfer."
After taking the kunai, Borsalino put it away and looked up.
Perhaps it was an illusion, he felt that the domineering aura that had always been criticized by Teacher Zefa had loosened a little at this moment.
Sure enough, the unswerving will is the beginning and the limit of domineering.
Under the ambiguous justice, it was not that he was unwilling to focus on the practice of domineering, but because of his own understanding of this world and his helpless choice, the upper limit of domineering was limited.
Looking back, the gentleman of the revolutionary army had disappeared.
"What a convenient ability..."
Borsalino muttered to himself, and then turned into a flash and went to the port.
