Chapter 122: The Storm Changes
.lā
It took a full four hours for Xia Qiu to return to the island, and when he climbed up, Robin walked down with some difficulty.
Xia Qiu looked at Robin, raised his arm and wrote curiously on the ground, "Are you okay?" ”
Robin saw the font, but did not answer, but stared at Xia Qiu.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Qiu wrote another line of words on the ground.
Robin looked at Xia Qiu and asked, "Are you able to speak?" ”
"Talk?"
Xia Qiu was slightly stunned and looked at Robin in puzzlement.
Robin immediately said, "When you saved me just now, you said a word to me. ”
Xia Qiu tilted her head, looked at Robin, and wrote on the ground, "What words? ”
"You tell me, 'Come on, there's five ships coming behind.'" Robin said softly.
"Huh?"
Xia Qiu recalled what happened at that time, went to Robin by herself, and subconsciously yelled a few times, what was the matter with the words?
"Talk?"
Xia Qiu tilted her head, opened her mouth, and said slowly, "I...... It seems to ......"
"I can really talk."
Xia Qiu immediately froze there.
"Xiaoqiu, didn't you know before?" Robin asked, frowning.
Xia Qiu hurriedly shook his head, just wanted to write, and then said slowly: "I don't know, at least until today, I can't speak." ”
Xia Qiu guessed that he could speak, it should have evolved again, it could be the evolutionary energy provided by Bonis, and of course it could be Colonel T Penn, Brigadier Madson's energy had not yet appeared at that time.
In order to speak, you need three key factors: your vocal cords, your tongue, and your thinking skills.
The first is the vocal cords, which must have the ability to produce multiple syllables, and dogs sometimes imitate human vocalizations, but are limited by the vocal cords and cannot imitate them.
Xia and Autumn ate a lot of humans and fish people, and they contained very little evolutionary energy, but the more they ate, the more they accumulated.
However, the accumulated evolutionary energy is limited, and it is very different from the body structure, and it is difficult to grow the parts of the body that need to be modified.
But the vocal cords, as well as other body structures that don't need to be changed much, come into play.
As early as seven months ago, Xia Qiu could shout sounds, but there were only two syllables.
The second is the tongue, which is an indispensable part of speech, and parrots can speak because they have a thick round tongue that can assist in making sounds.
Xia Qiu's tongue is not too big, it is thick and flexible, and it can move and suppress vocalization.
Finally, there is the ability to think.
Thinking ability represents the ability to master language, such as apes, such as chimpanzees, macaques, etc., initial studies have shown that chimpanzees cannot speak because of their vocal cords and mouth structure, but later it was found that a few of them, such as macaques, can produce a, e, u, i,. of these vowels.
Macaques don't speak because they don't have enough thinking skills.
Many people say that chimpanzees are smart, equivalent to how many years old they are smart, but they can do more than children of similar age. Because in terms of innate structure, the development of ape suborders is not as good as that of humans, such as the innate differences in the cerebral cortex and chromosomes, whether it is thinking ability, logical ability, or thinking ability, the difference is relatively large.
The laryngeal structure of parrots is not the same as that of humans, but they can speak, but they only imitate, and they cannot understand what they say and what it means.
As for Xia Qiu, it is completely a human soul with sufficient thinking ability and comprehension.
Coupled with the fact that he mastered the language and then developed the corresponding vocal organs, it was not too difficult to speak.
At that time, he couldn't write, and he had to let Robin go with him, so he could only shout, so he shouted a word.
Animal language contains ideas, and in this world, there are some people who understand animal ideas by listening to animal language, such as Chopper, Jinping, and most of the mermaids and a small number of mermaids.
Of course, in the One Piece world, there is no difference between speaking and vocal cord thinking, and there is a starfish who thinks he is a human and then speaks.
Xia Qiu reacted and fell into ecstasy, "I spoke, I spoke, I spoke." ”
"Hmm."
Robin felt the earth-shattering sound, slowly took a step back, and looked at Xia Qiu, a little surprised in his heart, but more joy.
She hadn't seen a talking animal yet, but she was relieved to think that Xia Qiu had intelligence that was not inferior to that of humans.
More importantly, if you can speak, you don't have to write to communicate in the future, and it is more convenient to communicate.
Xia Qiu happily moved for a while, then looked at Robin and asked, "By the way, Robin, you weren't injured just now, right?" ”
"Nope."
Robin shook his head and said with a smile, "Thanks to Xiaoqiu, I was able to escape. ”
Xia Qiu asked again, "Then how is the injury on your hand?" ”
Robin's hand was bandaged, but judging by the amount of bleeding on the island, the injury should not be light.
"Most of them are skin injuries, a few more serious ones have been sutured, and the injuries on the palms of the hands may be a little serious, but after treatment, they will be fine."
Robin said with a smile, then looked at Xia Qiu, his face became solemn, and asked, "Xiaoqiu, you are injured, are you okay?" Do I need some medicine? ”
The wound on Xia Qiu's head has partially healed, but the scales are tattered, and it still looks like there are some injuries.
Xia Qiu shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just eat something, well, I'm hungry now, I'll go hunt." ”
Rumble.
Xia Qiu rushed into the sea, and directly submerged into it, he hunted a sea fish, ate it in his stomach, and the evolutionary energy repaired the wound.
Come three or four times, and you will be healed.
After Xia Qiu finished eating, he returned to the shore, looked at Robin and asked, "Robin, can you be here alone?" ”
"Huh?"
Robin looked at Xia Qiu and asked, "Xiao Qiu, what are you going to do?" ”
Xia Qiu said: "I plan to go to the surrounding waters to explore the surrounding waters to see if they will come here, and if I can, I will lure them away." ”
This island is located nearly 100 kilometers from Alabastan, and in between, there are many smaller islands.
And it deviated from the main route, and was only seen in two routes.
The magnetic force is weak and will not be captured by the recording pointer, and no one will usually come here.
But I'm not afraid of just in case, I'm only afraid of 10,000, Xia Qiu still plans to go back and take a look, and try to lure them away.
"Xiaoqiu, you have to pay attention to safety." Robin looked at Xia Qiu and said.
"Don't worry, if you can't beat me, go underwater, they won't be able to hurt me."
Xia Qiu said, then turned around, entered the ocean, and swam in the direction where he came.
。。。
"Yes, yes, I see, I accept the result, um."
In the hospital in the rape flower city of Alabastan, Tina was lying on the bed, her buttocks covered with a quilt, but her legs were bare, and her legs were bent up, wrapped in gauze.
She was holding a phone bug in her hand, listening to the voice coming from inside, and finally said, "I'll do my best to cooperate." ”
After saying this, Tina hung the receiver on the phone bug, looking a little distressed.
Next to him, Captain Gulf looked at Tina and asked cautiously, "Colonel Tina, what did the headquarters say?" ”
Tina sighed and said, "Since Tina is injured and defeated by Robin, she will let others be responsible for pursuing Robin, and let me hand over the fleet of the branch base to them to cooperate." ”
"Colonel Tina, just recuperate."
Captain Gulf looked at Tina and said, "I wonder which big man in the headquarters is coming to pursue?" ”
"Major General Sicily is in charge, as well as Brigadier General Desily." Tina replied.
"Major General Sicily? He's strong, but he's ...... underwater."
Captain Gulf frowned, the beast was so powerful that Brigadier General Madsen could not defeat him, even a major general, he might not be able to defeat him underwater.
Tina waved her hand and said, "The main thing is not to fight the giant beast, but to capture Robin." There are few people who can stop it if it wants to run, but if it wants to protect Robin, then it has its own weakness, as long as there are enough warships, equipped with special weapons, and with the addition of Rear Admiral Sicily, it will not be difficult to kill it. ”
Speaking of this, Tina paused and said, "More importantly, the pursuing force is not only the navy. ”
"Who else?"
Captain Gulf asked curiously.
Tina replied, "There are also three groups of pirate forces who want to become the Seven Martial Seas, and the Navy Headquarters has made an agreement with them that as long as they bring Robin's head back, they can become the Seven Martial Seas." ”
"Really? Then Robin is more than lucky. Captain Gulf shook his head.
Tina sighed and said, "It's just that Tina can't catch her with her own hands." ”..
。。。
The Land of White Earth, Valdigo.
"Chief, word from the front, Robin he attacked the rape flower city of Alabastan, destroyed three more battleships, and at least one commodore and one colonel died." In the office, a soldier looked at the tall figure that came in and hurriedly reported.
"Robin attacking Rape Flower City?"
The tall figure slowly spoke, and asked with some doubts: "There is no problem in killing Klockdahl, that person has done a lot of evil, and it is not a pity to die." Why did Robin attack the city? According to what we have received before, she lives in an underground society, but rarely actively harms people. ”
"People always change."
On the side, a young girl wearing a round hat said: "Starting from the age of eight, there are not many people who can remain the same in such an environment. ”
The tall figure nodded, looked at the figure in the distance who was leaning back in the chair and resting his legs on the table, and said, "Sabo, you and Kella go to Alabastan to investigate this matter." If she did attack civilians, then take her back. If not, you'll join Kella and help her evade the Navy. Her identity is special, and she killed the commodore and colonel, and the navy will definitely mobilize a lot of forces to chase her down, and she is alone, even if there is a strong beast, it is difficult to escape from the navy's pursuit. Originally, we couldn't locate her, but now it's much easier, save her, and ask her if she'd like to join the revolutionary army. ”
"Leave it to me."
Sabo slowly stood up, stretched, and said, "Kerra, go, get ready, let's go to Alabastan." ”
