Chapter 103: Sunset
The original belief that the heart obeyed gradually wavered, and Sora had already realized this.
But as Donn said, if the world government is so afraid, jealous, and afraid of their future, even these minor things. So, what courage do you have to face the next era of even greater chaos?
What is the meaning of such a world government, such a navy?
"Whew!"
Exhaled heavily, on his resolute face, his emotions were very complicated at this time.
His mind hesitated and wandered, but he could not directly resist the orders of his superiors. As the old man said, if he can't do it, he will give it to Sengoku or anyone else.
In fact, the day of his resignation is getting closer and closer, and he is about to be transferred to report to the army commander's office. At this critical juncture, it is indeed not the time to blatantly go against the superiors.
"What a bastard era!"
sighed deeply, and his face seemed to be much older in an instant.
In such a position, Sora sometimes really doesn't know if it's his own fault or someone else's, and in the end, he can only attribute the fault to this era.
His right hand stretched out and retracted, and after five or six times, he sighed again and dialed the phone.
"Sengoku, give the order."
The voice on the other side was also heavy, but he answered lightly and hung up.
Although Roger has been executed, the storm caused by him is still slowly brewing. All over the world, because of this name, there is turmoil.
The government army and the navy are united, and everyone who has anything to do with Roger is arrested.
The madness and intensity of this act shocked everyone. From this, it can also be felt that Roger, the king of the pirates, really scared the world government.
What is this government that has stood for hundreds of years in the world afraid of?
A question arises in the hearts of the world, and curiosity arises from it.
At the same time, West Sea O'Hara.
"We've found clues, real clues!"
"In this world, there must still be many magical stones, which record the things left by their ancestors."
"What we want to know may be on those stones!"
The scholars gathered and discussed with serious faces.
"Deciphering the meaning of the words on these stones will be a crucial task, and we need such scholars."
"It will be the key to leading us to understand that gap of 100 years."
An old scholar with gray hair said in a deep voice.
"We call the stone a historical text, which records the history of the vanished, the glorious civilization of antiquity, and we believe that such stones are left all over the world."
"So, I decided to set up an advance team to explore historical texts."
"This group of people, out of O'Hara, to explore the unknown around the world, to understand the fault lines of history, the lost civilization!"
This resolution, under the heated discussion of scholars, was unanimously adopted.
Kolos sat among the scholars, and someone behind him tried to say something, but he shook his head to stop him.
When the meeting was over, Kolos's disciples followed.
"Teacher, let's build a library."
"Moreover, even if the village sends an exploration team, it will be too dangerous, O'Hara has already been targeted by someone with a heart."
Kolos nodded, "You're right, but it's not something we should stop." ”
"It can't be stopped."
"As a scholar, my belief is to pursue the unknowable, to explore the unknown, and to challenge all the unknown things that stand in the way with a cautious and questioning attitude."
"If you hold back and are afraid because of this, you are not a scholar."
His few words made the disciple fall silent as if he had realized something.
Even if there is an abyss ahead, the temptation of unknown knowledge is something that scholars cannot refuse.
"Ready, I'll go to the village chief and explain to him about the library."
"He will definitely agree, but the level of support we get will definitely not be as strong as the exploration team, so be prepared."
Kolos sighed slightly.
Whether it's building a library, leaving O'Hara's seeds, or traveling to the unknown world in search of ethereal historical texts, it's all about being a scholar and having a sense of kindness and reverence for the world at large.
Later, Kolos goes to the village chief, and the two talk all night.
The village chief agreed, but as Kolos had predicted, they didn't get much support. O'Hara's library is huge, and its collection of books is as strange as the stars in the sky. The village chief allowed them to copy or take the rubbings with them, but they were not allowed to take them away.
This is already good for Kolos.
He quickly gathered a group of people and then sorted the precious books in the library into categories to move them around.
It's a lot of work, but he's motivated.
On the other side, the first half of the Great Passage, the capital of the seven waters.
"Teacher, let's go, the people from the world government and the navy have been coming to the door these days, and they obviously have bad intentions!"
The young iceberg Esbagu struggled to persuade the fish-man who bent down in front of him with a hammer and hammered the nails.
"Esbagu! The old man just helped Roger build a ship, that's all, and didn't make any big mistakes! ”
"Why run away?"
Tom said loudly.
"However, that ship is indeed the best one that the old man has ever built, what is it called?"
"Oh yes, it's called the Orr Jackson!"
Esbagu's brows twitched, and he didn't agree with the teacher's statement.
"Damn, teacher, they don't think you're not guilty, the rumors are getting worse and worse these days, and our shipyard is about to be targeted now."
"You've got to move quickly!"
Tom shook his head: "If you build your own ship, you have to face it with great noise, no matter what kind of impact it has on the shipbuilders." ”
"Asbagu, you have to face it bravely!"
Opening his mouth, Esbagu knew that he could not convince this stubborn old man, so he could only sigh and leave with mixed feelings.
The capital of seven waters is becoming more and more lively, and public opinion such as newspapers and media seems to have been controlled by some people, and all kinds of wind directions point to the teacher who is building a ship for One Piece Roger.
In such a situation, anyone with a little brain can detect the abnormality.
The wind direction is quietly changing, and all the factors that will set off big waves in the future are imperceptibly planted.
South China Sea, Ba Moss Lila Island.
At dusk, on the hill behind the town, Lu Jiu stood under a tree, looking into the distance.
Don was not far behind him, also standing there quietly.
The sunset was beautiful, and the sun that had sunset at the sea level in a corner was glowing orange-red, and the surrounding clouds were reflected in a red color.
The sky is bright red, and the warm and non-dazzling red water is complemented by each other.
As Lu Jiu said not long ago, the sunset here is indeed beautiful.
