Don't underestimate the archaeologists who are willing to serve the world government, in fact, the civilian personnel who can be reused by the government, every one of them is a big man on the sea!

Robin may be familiar with ancient texts, but she's not the only gifted archaeologist.

With their help, having been in Ralph Drew for so long, Donte had already figured it out...... At least something about the god inside Aquaman.

Like this one, the origin of the fish-people is one of them.

It's just that due to the gap of a hundred years, the fish-people have completely forgotten this past.

"But ......"

Luffy asked puzzledly, "Even if you have to have the same root and the same origin, you need the same clan to exchange souls, what does it have to do with Jinping having to die?" ”

It was not Dongte who answered him, but Jinping.

"Probably...... It's because of the bloodline power you mentioned, right? ”

"If a random compatriot dies here to awaken her, this kind of seal has no meaning at all...... If the old man guessed correctly, the bloodline power in my body is second only to Princess Shirahoshi among the remaining compatriots. ”

"That's right!"

Dongte clapped his hands: "This stone tablet will only be the same as Princess Shirahoshi, that kind of ...... What is called 'divine power' is absorbed by a certain level of soul, and it has no interest in other people's souls. ”

The argument comes from reality, and in order to come to this conclusion, what Dongte has done depends on the wisdom of the wise.

"To put it simply, the blood power in your body is but not enough, so after death, your soul will not be absorbed by the stone tablet, but will naturally dissipate...... But at the same time, because of the connection between the bloodlines and the blessing of that small amount of bloodline power, the soul of Princess Shirahoshi will also enter your body after you die. ”

"Don't forget, the stone tablet seal is not aimed at Princess Shirahoshi, but her!"

"The God!"

The Neptune family has already integrated its own blood power into most of the merfolk and mermaid families with intermarriage, and the "Great Knight of the Sea" Neptune alone has three sons and a daughter!

There is no end to children and grandchildren.

If that massacre hadn't happened, it wouldn't have been surprising that the Commoner Family would have appeared as a Sea King in a few hundred years.

"In this way, the stele leaves room for her, and once she is here, her soul can no longer escape."

Donte smiled coldly, then narrowed his eyes.

"We had two choices at the beginning, first, while she has a body, completely kill Aquaman, while she can't survive, Princess Shirahoshi will never be able to return to her body."

"Second, vacate the stele and force her to come here and be devoured by the stele for her soul, but it takes a person who is willing to sacrifice."

"Straw Hat Boy Luffy, 'Sea Man' Jinping ......"

Dongte looked at them and grinned: "The first way is the easiest, but Lord Canglong is kind-hearted and chooses the most difficult second way. ”

"This is the sincerity of Lord Canglong! Now, it's time for you to make a choice......"

"That's nice, don't you also value the ability of the Sea King?"

Sanji pouted unhappily and muttered quietly.

That's an ancient weapon!

The fish-man clan is almost wiped out, and the purest royal blood in Princess Shirahoshi's body, the navy naturally refuses to let go.

But......

So what?

After all, they kept the white star, and kept the last glimmer of hope in the heart of Jinping, who was swallowed up by the hatred of the exterminating clan.

Even if this hope has to be made up for with another, greater sorrow.

"Heroes!"

Zoro looked up at the sky and sighed.

He had foreseen Jinping's choice.

Heroes, it seems, always end in tragedy.

There was silence all around, except for the tireless wind that kept rolling up the yellow sand and lapping against them.

I don't know how long it has been, Jinping exhaled a heavy breath, turned to face the stone tablet, and knelt on one knee.

"Princess Shirahoshi, please be sure to ...... Live well! ”

"No !!"

In a trance, Jinping, who had not mastered the sound of all things, seemed to hear the cry of Shirahoshi in that familiar voice.

……

Call!!

A spark appeared out of thin air in front of the cigar, and Ron watched in amazement, then leaned over and lit the cigar.

"You don't seem to be surprised?"

It is impossible to distinguish between man and woman, or if it is the voice of all things that reverberates in the black space.

"No fear, no curiosity, no doubt...... Not bad! ”

A faint sound of appreciation appeared, and as the words fell, the darkness around them vanished...... It's like a dark room, and someone suddenly pushes the light switch.

The tip of his nose was filled with a fishy smell, and Ron stood in the center of a vast desert, the distant horizon with the setting sun, and a sea of corpses and blood around him.

Broken weapons and armor hung on the corpses, a broken banner stood above the hill, and a soldier who had long been dead held the flag weakly with both hands, but he knelt in the yellow sand.

Although the whole world is silent, it shows the cruelty of war in the age of cold weapons.

Immediately, the picture suddenly turned, the yellow sand battlefield disappeared, and the familiar cement high-rise appeared in the field of vision.

However, it is the same battlefield, the same broken mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, even if the era is changed and the technology is upgraded, the war will never stop.

Then, the screen rotates again......

Scenes of war appeared around him, from different eras, making Ron "immersive".

The voice said lightly, "Do you know what it's called?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Ron groaned, "If I answered about war and human nature, it would be too cliché. ”

"So...... Transmigration? ”

"Almost."

The voice was unrecognizable: "But I prefer to call it, civilization!" ”

Thundered!

The tremors were crystal clear, and a city rose from the ground on a fertile plain. Dressed in rags, people drove their cattle to the bazaar. Brightly armored samurai lined up in neat formations outside the city, and the streets were full of people, and everything was in order.

But soon......

The silence was shattered by the deafening sound of horses' hooves, and a knight in thick leather armor came to the city gates, arrows piercing through the air and falling in a torrent.

The crowd screamed, and in a moment, flames erupted.

Swish!

The scene suddenly darkened, and when it lit up again, the city had been taken over by the cavalry and archers, who were clearing the debris, gathering the craftsmen, and the whole city was transformed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the speed of the picture slowed down to normal passing, the knights who had once stained their hands with blood sat in front of the barracks gate and took a nap, their gray beards and cloudy eyes, completely unable to see the cruelty of the past.

A group of young knights rode out of the barracks, and the old fellows watched them roar past with remembrance and envy in their eyes.

"This is civilization...... Birth, development, destruction, rebirth in destruction, and destruction in destruction. ”

"Reincarnation only summarizes the process, and civilization is the cause and essence of everything."

"Indeed......"

Ron sighed: "What I'm doing now, isn't it because this is the essence of civilization?" ”

There is a ruler like Im, and there are rebels like him.

"But some people don't think so, they think that destruction is the root of everything, especially when it is visible and tangible."

Swish!

The picture changed again, but this time Ron felt a substantial coercion.

In a dimly lit underground cave, a teenage girl with panic in her eyes, dressed only in a rough linen robe, tied to a stone platform in the center of the lava, surrounded by a group of ancient people who played the role of gods without makeup.

Immediately, someone took a knife to cut open her stomach, but it was very strange that no blood flowed out, only a black mist spread out and floated in the air.

The scarlet pupils looked at Ron in the air, which made Ron can't help but have skin bumps.

"Heavenly Demon!"

"I won't let you do anything wrong!"

A middle-aged Taoist priest pulled out a wooden sword and slashed out a bolt of light, screaming at the black mist. Then, as if taking advantage of its weakness, a baby was brought in.

"I have a sense of foreboding......"

Ron's eyelids twitched.

I saw the middle-aged Taoist priest looking at the baby with tears in his eyes, said something, and then solemnly placed him next to the little girl who had fainted or died, and then a group of people began to dance the great god, the wooden sword danced the wind and thunder, and the magma rolled.

In the end, the middle-aged Taoist priest's wooden sword ignited two talismans, stabbed into the center of the black mist, and stabbed down heavily.

The baby began to cry instantly, and the black mist disappeared on the baby's belly at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a circle of tadpoles representing metaphysics.

The tadpoles also disappeared quickly, and the child's belly was smooth and crying loudly.

At this point, the picture is pitch black.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and so is human civilization...... Not noble, not lowly, not beautiful, not dirty. ”

However, there are always people who don't understand such a simple truth. The root of civilization is that they can only see what they want to see, they are swayed by emotions and constrained by their vision, and they only do what they think is right, without thinking about the truth behind it. ”

Thundered!

The entire dark space began to tremble, and the voice grew louder and louder.

"I was born from destruction, I was born from civilization, I ...... Both perdition! ”

Call......

Ron let out a long puff of smoke and raised an eyebrow.

"So you want to tell me...... My real name is Bofeng Ron instead of Vortex Ron? ”

"Or do you want me to join the glorious evolution?"

"I'm sorry, there are too many slots, I can't bear it."

Presumably, Ron had never expected this to say this, and there was silence all around, and the atmosphere was visibly interrupted for a moment.

After a few seconds, I looked at the dozens of selves that came out of the darkness, each holding a flame in their hands.

Smack!

The cigar fell to the ground, and Ron resolutely bowed 90°: "I'm sorry, please spare me this time!" ”
