Chapter 63: Departure, Crusader (I)
"Do you already know my identity...... It's really the same as the woman with the black claws said, as long as you know something idiosyncratic, you will immediately know my true identity. ”
Saab replied.
"Huh...... that's not your gut feeling......
"Oh, I lied to you. I don't have any intuition, it's all based on your expression, behavior, and a little bit of domineering analysis. ”
“……”
Well, it's because of your amazing intuition that I'm so slow to determine your identity...... Now you're telling me that you're lying to me......
"But...... Why do you need money so much? I don't think you're such a person who values money so much," Zhou Yuan asked, "There must be a reason, right?"
"Why...... Yes, there has to be a reason," Sabo nodded, "in a nutshell...... I'm not a projection. Standing here is Saab himself, and Saab of another sea world has disappeared into that world. ”
“…… What?"
Zhou Yuan obviously failed to understand the meaning of Sabo's words.
"Hmm...... Let me put it another way. When I was in the Revolutionary Army, I had a bizarre incident. A large spherical expanse of open space suddenly disappeared along with a cadre of the revolutionary army. And after it disappeared, this one appeared instead. ”
Sabo took his backpack from behind him, and after rummaging through it for a while, he found a statue.
It is similar to the statue in Zhou Yuan's hand, but the figure carved on it is different from Zhou Yuan, it is the appearance of a young man.
Zhou Yuan picked up all the two statues and looked at the base carefully.
The base of this statue of his own is engraved with the words el, psy, and congroo, while the statue does not. Moreover, although the workmanship of that statue is also exquisite, it can be seen that the two statues are compared with each other, and it is obvious that the one is much rougher than his own, and the person on it, Zhou Yuan, does not know him at all, and it is estimated that it is not a particularly famous character in the original One Piece.
"This one is probably an imitation...... This one is definitely not coming back from the future. ”
The difference between the two is clear at a glance. Even if this statue was handed down from the future after someone else somehow obtained a time machine, it was definitely not from Rentaro Okabe.
"I don't know exactly where this thing came from...... But it's certainly not one of the thirteen statues I told you. Its fundamental sign is the true future, and the pedestal is marked by letters...... By the way, how do you know?"
Of course I don't know, so I'll just pick it up and take a look...... Can I say I know what el, psy, and congroo mean and who carved it......
That is to say...... It's not actually a projection phenomenon when this thing is ignited? I always feel like you've hidden a lot of things from me and haven't told me...... Fifty million ended up buying a piece of such information?"
"You're right, though...... But it was really inconvenient to tell you at the time. When this statue is ignited, it is not a 'projection', but a 'displacement'. The people summoned by the statue were all themselves and not projections, and they were replaced from their world. Naturally, correspondingly, the material of this world also flows into the world over there. Of course, although it is said to be material, it also includes ......"
"Lifeforms, even human beings......" Zhou Yuan sighed, "So, what do you think ......?"
"As long as I can get my own unused purple statue, I can use this purple statue to leave this world and return to my own world. Moreover...... Perhaps, I can bring back this level of technology to this world. These are all very necessary materials for the revolutionary army. ”
Saab replied.
"Maybe it won't work out, and no one knows if you're going to die like that. ”
Zhou Yuan replied.
"yes...... Maybe I'm going to die like that. However, the Revolutionary Army, and Luffy still need my help, and I have to go back," Sabo replied, "Don't worry...... Don't I have another statue here? The people on this statue are in this world, so if I use this statue, I can at least come back safe. ”
"Okay...... Although I hope you'd better not take the technology out of this world. Because it may change irreversibly in the whole world...... But that's none of my business. Last question, how do you know if you're called and not projected?"
Saab took out his phone. Soon, a projection of a lifelike statue appeared in the air, and on it was none other than Sabo, a young man in a blue trench coat and carrying a water pipe.
Zhou Yuan flipped the image to the base position, and the words el, psy, and congroo on it were clearly visible.
"So, the purpose of borrowing this statue is ...... You've all calculated as a result, huh?"
Zhou Yuan couldn't help but complain.
"Hmm...... It's not very different from the style of clothes and weapons we have there, it shouldn't be a projection statue of our world," Sabo picked up the statue, looked at it carefully for several times, and then returned it to Zhou Yuan, "What are you going to do? This thing is a treasure that many people want." ”
"What am I going to do? Of course I'm going to keep it away. Either way, I guess I'll never use it. ”
Zhou Yuan replied without the slightest hesitation.
"What?"
"You want to go back, right...... After all, you're not from this world, so you want to go back, and if you can't, you'll be sad. ”
"That's right...... But you've really decided?"
"Well," Zhou Yuan nodded, handing the statue to Sabo, "Help me put it in my room as an ornament...... You don't need to carry this thing. Then, I was ready to leave for the Crusader base. ”
