Chapter 158: Polusalino: Why do I have more adopted daughters and sisters?
"Saulo ......?"
Kuzan, who had wanted to wander around the island that was about to be destroyed, found his friend Lieutenant General Saulo on the eastern coast of O'Hara Island. This big man, who always smiles softly on weekdays, is sitting on the beach at this time, facing the sea lonely.
"It's you, Kuzan...... Are you here to enforce the Demon Slayer Order? β
Saulo turned his head, his expression still lonely, not the joy of seeing his friend.
"Hmm...... You've really done something wrong this time," Kuzan sighed, "You know what the consequences will be in front of the World Government and the Navy, right?" β
"Ah, I know it all...... So escort me back, Kuzan. β
"Aren't you going to run away? Saulo? β
"I'd like to ask you a question now than run away, Kuzan. You're stronger than I am, you're a better sailor than I am, you must know the answer to that question, right? β
Kuzan looked at his old friend with a serious expression, his heart was full of doubts, and he nodded slightly:
"Say it, Saulo."
"I left the Navy because I felt that what the Navy was doing had deviated from the righteousness of my heart, but ...... After a conversation with Major General Polusalino, I began to doubt my judgment again...... Is our navy just or not? Is what we are doing truly righteous? β
Kuzan was silent for a moment, as if answering himself, and said in a firm tone:
"There is never such thing as absolute and true justice, Sauro. What we call justice is, in the eyes of some, outright evil...... It's like the Demon Slayer Order, it's to preserve the rule of the world government and the interests of more people in the world, but it does harm the interests of the people of O'Hara and the scholars here...... It's not something we can solve, and it's not something that anyone can solve. We just have to make sure that we behave our own way, that we have a clear conscience when we make choices, that we do what we have to do, and that's it. β
ββ¦β¦ Is it? β
"Hmm,"
Kuzan nodded, "That's right. β
"I see...... Arrest me, Kuzan! β
Kuzan took a deep look at his old friend Saulo, and then subconsciously prepared to activate his ability, but-
"Huh?"
Kuzan was stunned for a moment, then his body tensed, half of his body had already entered the elementalization, and even the breath he exhaled turned into a cold qi that could freeze everything.
"Whew!"
It was on this tiny beach that the wind began to blow and rain down into the sky.
"Boom!"
Like a hurricane that can only form on the roughest seas of the New World, the wind that appeared swept away everything around it.
"What the hell is this ββ!!?"
The huge trees were blown up by the roots, and the huge rocks were swept into the sky along with countless sea cement sands, and even Saulo, who was a giant clan and the size of a warship, could only bow down at this moment and slam his hands into the ground to avoid being blown away.
Kuzan, on the other hand, activated the fruit ability, completely freezing himself and the ground with cold ice, forming one, and looked at the man in the dark green cloak that appeared after the wind gradually disappeared with a serious face.
The other party spoke:
"Colonel of the Navy Headquarters, one of the three natural monsters, Kuzan, one of the Frozen Fruit Abilities, I'm sorry, this Vice-Admiral friend of yours, can I take him away? This is a request from my wife and my friend......"
Kuzan's face became extremely ugly, and he already recognized the identity of this uninvited guest:
"Former Chambord Islands Base Commander and former Rear Admiral Monchi D. Long, who has defected from the Navy because he has lost contact with the headquarters for a long time, has been confirmed to have defected to the Navy, why are you in O'Hara?!"
β¦β¦
"You're going to see Ben-sama?"
Under the Tree of Omniscience, Spandyne, heavily protected by the black-suit agents, clasped his nostrils and looked impatiently at the shivering middle-aged couple in front of him.
"Yes, yes, sir! I...... We have the intel of a hidden scholar on this island! β
The husband was relatively bolder, and although he still didn't dare to raise his head completely, he still stammered and finished the sentence.
The scholars, including Dr. Baroque, all looked resentful, while Olvia gritted her teeth and looked at the couple with hatred in her eyes as if they could cut them with a thousand knives.
Little Robin's face was full of horror, and the eyes that looked at the couple were full of disbelief in addition to fear and disgust.
"Oh? You say hiding the intelligence of scholars? Say, if it's true, Lord Ben will be rewarded! If it's fake...... Hum! Just die on this island with these scholars! β
Spandain flicked his nose very casually, his face full of disapproval - in his opinion, although his subordinates did not suit his liking in many places on weekdays, they were all elite agents trained by the world government at a cost of a lot of money and material resources. And what the elite agents of the government have repeatedly confirmed, you two civilians can still say that the flowers are not true?
Hearing the word "reward" in Spandain's mouth, both husband and wife showed excited and greedy looks. All of a sudden, their backs straightened, and their courage seemed to grow greaterβwasn't the reason why they had come to Spandyne at such a dangerous juncture, for the great reward that might have been, and for the sake of completely dissociating themselves from that little monster?
"Great, sir!"
The husband's tongue was dry, as if he had seen wealth beckoning to him, "That hidden scholar is a little monster who stays in my house, my sister's daughter...... She, she can conjure two pairs of hands! And I run to these scholars every day! I've heard these people say that she is one of them, the youngest scholar in O'Hara!! My lord! She's a criminal, too!! β
Speaking of the back, her husband's tone couldn't help but become excited, and his face became red.
His wife, as if she felt that her husband had not said enough, hastened to add, "Yes, sir! That little monster is broken, and I want me to say that she must be a born criminal! Of course! Although our family asked her to stay overnight, we didn't have any communication with her at all, she ...... Big, adult! That's her! That's her!! The guy who looked like a monkey was the little monster!! β
The woman suddenly screamed, her index finger pointing in the direction of Polusalino and Robin.
ββ¦β¦β
After the woman's voice fell, an eerie silence enveloped everyone present - the couple's envisioned scene of Spandyne ordering the arrest or killing of Porusalino and Robin did not happen, but instead Spandyne, who had high hopes for them, turned extremely ugly and glared at them viciously as if he was about to kill:
ββ¦β¦ You guys...... These two! Stupid stuff!! β
Spandain roared, flew up and kicked the woman to the ground, the man was still in a daze, and Spandain knocked him over with another backhand.
"Great, great! I, and we both tell the truth! My lord!!! β
The woman clutched her stomach and cried out in pain.
"Shut the fuck up!!"
Cold sweat broke out on Spandain's forehead, and he pulled out his gun like an agent and aimed it at the woman, "Do you know what you're talking about?! β
ββ¦β¦ Big, adult? β
It was clear that the couple was still unclear.
"Don't shoot, Spandyne,"
At this time, Polusalino finally smiled and spoke, "As representatives of the world government, how can we, as representatives of the world government, shoot civilians so easily? What's more, these two still want to provide us with information about the criminals......"
"Yes, sir!"
Spanda hurriedly put down the gun, and the stone in his heart fell slightly because of Porusalino's smiling expression - there is one thing to say, what he cares about is not the life or death of these two people at all, nor what they say, let alone whether Robin, who is being led by Polusalino, is a scholar or not, but whether Polusalino is angry or not!
Moreover, not to mention that Spandan didn't believe them at all, and even if he did, he would try to pretend not to believe it - the little girl was very close to Polusalino at first sight, and he pointed out the little girl as a criminal in front of Polusalino, and he Spandain thought that he had not lived enough.
Seeing that Porusalino's fluttering words made Spandyne, who seemed to be the leader, put down his gun, and the couple finally knew who was the biggest boss among the people present.
The wife's body trembled with fear, and the husband hurriedly pulled her to her knees:
"Great, great! She offended you, don't worry!! But what my wife says is true! That little girl is really a monster!! My lord!!! β
The smile on Porusalino's face became even brighter - what does it mean that a man will not die if he does not do it, and he has finally met the best of them today.
"Oh? Is it? Is it true that she is a scholar and a criminal? β
"Yes, yes! My lord! Even if you give us 10,000 guts, we won't dare to tell a lie! My lord! β
Polusalino smiled, and did not pay attention to the couple, but touched little Robin's head, and said in as soft a tone as possible:
"Little Robin, can you show us what you're capable of? It's the ability to conjure up the other hand...... The subject is just this woman...... Don't be afraid, I promise you'll be fine. β
With that, Polusalino winked at little Robin.
Robin hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Polusalino and nodded slightly before crossing his trembling hands over his chest.
Accompanied by some fluttering petals, the woman who knelt on the ground suddenly found that a pair of small hands had grown on her shoulders, and she immediately screamed in fright.
"Blame! Monsters!! Big...... My lord! This little guy is a monster!! You saw it!! β
Seeing this, Polusalino nodded in satisfaction: "It's okay to lift, Robin." β
Little Robin lowered his hands, and the hands on the woman's shoulders disappeared in an instant as if they had never existed.
Porusalino immediately looked at Spandain, whose eyes seemed to be shining at this time - although he was a parallel import, Spandain, as the chief of CP9, was indeed a figure who had seen the world, and he would not think of the Devil Fruit ability as a monster in the eyes of the general public.
"Lord Polusalino, this little girl, is it ......"
"Ah, the couple is right, she does conjure up more hands,"
Polusalino stroked his chin, "But it's not a monster, but even if you look at all the superhuman devil fruits, they can be regarded as rare and powerful flower fruits......"
After saying that, Polusalino looked at Robin and smiled slightly in the latter's frightened eyes:
"Don't worry, little Robin, I'm telling the truth, you're not a monster, your abilities are rare and excellent...... From now on, everyone will respect and approve of you. β
ββ¦β¦ Really, really? β
"Of course it's true, I'm Polusalino never liared, Spandyne, don't you think?"
"Yes! Yes! Children! Mistress Polusalino is the most trustworthy! You have to believe him! β
Spandain nodded busily.
Polusalino touched little Robin's head with satisfaction, and continued:
"I think the truth of the couple's reaction would be something that a smart person like you, Spandain, would be able to guess...... It's nothing more than an uninformed civilian who mistook a Devil Fruit ability person for a monster, and then wanted to take this opportunity to pour a basin of dirty water on her and receive a reward from you......"
"Tut-tut, that's funny, what do you think of as a CP9 chief? Actually say that an eight-year-old girl is a scholar? Seemingly...... They might think you're foolish, Spandain? β
The so-called murderous heart is nothing more than thatβwhen Spandain heard the first half of Porusalino's words, he was still complacent, thinking that he was a smart man and was praised, and then he was still a little puzzled and worried about why he had not guessed anything; And when he heard the second half of Porusalino's words, his anger instantly burned all his senses.
His eyes widened with anger, his expression became extremely distorted, and even the sound of his breathing became extremely heavy.
The surrounding scholars, led by Dr. Kloba, also took the opportunity to help:
"The couple is notoriously vicious throughout O'Hara!"
"They received subsidies from the welfare home in the name of adopting little Robin, and they often abused her!"
"Little Robin comes here every time to eat, she doesn't even know a word, how can she be a scholar?"
"It's true that we hate the world government, but we won't drag children into the water!"
β¦β¦
The help of the scholars made Spandain's anger erupt like a volcano:
"You two damn bastards! How dare you fool and try to take advantage of this chief?! Who do you think Lao Tzu is?!! β
Faced with Spandain's roar, the couple hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"My lord! My lord! We really don't! This little guy is really ......."
"Whoosh - bang!!"
Shrill whistling and explosions interrupted the couple's speech, as well as Spandyne, who wanted to vent his anger, and everyone looked in the direction from which the voice came.
"Oh? The shelling has begun......"
Polusalino's eyes narrowed, "Then don't waste any more time, Spandane. Since the couple wants to contribute to the world government, it's good to send them to the country of the bridge...... Presumably, the two of them can better contribute to the government through labor......"
"Yes!"
Despite the couple's desperate pleas for mercy, Spandain had his men drag them away.
"Then, Lord Polusalino...... Isn't it time to move the tree? β
Spandyne asked flatteringly.
"Hmm...... I'll leave this sister of mine to you Spandain first, and take her to join Major General Sakasky, and let Sakasky help watch the dots; As for the criminal Olvia, you also take a good look at her, the government needs to erect a model of a criminal, it is too cheap for her to die, and the hellish punishment of the city is waiting for her......"
"My subordinates understand!"
"Okay, hurry up, I'm going to do it too......"
β¦β¦
"Boom Boom Boom!!"
Ten large warships of the second specification of the Navy must empty the full ammunition at one time, which is the demon slaying order that represents absolute force.
Three minutes have passed since the first shell exploded, and the shelling continues. O'Hara has turned into a sea of fire and is beginning to crumble.
"O'Hara has been completely wiped out......"
Not far from the coast, on the refuge ship, the inhabitants on the deck stared blankly at the burning island not far away.
"Our homeβ"
"In the end...... What the hell is going on! Why is this happening? β
"It's all the scholars' fault! Damn it!! If it weren't for them, how could such a thing have happened! β
"That's right! That's right! It's all their fault, it's all because of their research!! β
People always subconsciously want to find an outlet for their anger, and the fuse of everything, those scholars who study historical texts, are naturally the best targets.
"Everyone, don't move, get ready to prove who you are! Get checked! β
The black-suited CP agents poured in from another nearby ship - for these civilians, getting out of O'Hara was the first step, and then anyone who had the slightest suspicion of having anything to do with the academics would have to die.
Just as the civilians were being examined one by one, someone suddenly shouted:
ββ¦β¦ Hey, do you guys feel anything is wrong? Why isn't there anything going on with the Tree of All-Knowing?! β
ββ¦β¦ When you say that, it seems to be! β
"Oh really! Not to mention the explosion, not even the fire burned! β
"How...... At first, I thought it was the navy deliberately putting it at the end, but it doesn't look like that! β
β¦β¦
In fact, it was much more difficult to move the tree than Porusalino had imaginedβnot that the tree was too big for him to move, but that he needed a living tree of omniscience, so he had to protect the dense and well-developed root system of the giant tree.
Also a giant tree, the Archi mangrove group in the Chambord Islands has a well-developed root system that can extend thousands of meters to the bottom of the sea, and the Tree of Omniscience, although not so exaggerated, has a super dense and unusually developed root system - it can be said that when Polusalino transformed into "Little Diamond Wind" and probed all the beneath O'Hara Island, he found that the root system of the Tree of All-Knowing extended to almost every corner of the island.
With such a complex root system, it is obviously impossible to pull it hard, and it is obviously impossible to clean it up little by little with a laser (not enough time). Therefore, after communicating with Sakasky, Polusalino intended to have him plow Ohara with the guns of the naval fleet before he pulled it out.
In order to protect the Tree of All-Knowing from the cannonballs, Polusalino transformed into a humanoid fully automatic laser turret during this time - all the shells fired at O'Hara Island were calculated by Polusalino's super brain. Once it was calculated that the explosion of any shell would affect the Tree of Omniscience, Polusalino would fire a laser to detonate it prematurely before it reached the Tree of Omniscience.
So, despite the naval fire, the Tree of Omniscience Library was not affected at all.
ββ¦β¦ Alright, now it's my turn! β
"Have you ever seen ...... Ultraman Bayeri! Transform!! β
With the shout of Polusalino that seemed to resound throughout the sea, the shining light overwhelmed the sun in an instant! A golden giant with a mysterious pattern on its body and the height of the Tree of All-Knowing on its legs alone appeared in the sky above O'Hara Island!
The moment the giant appeared, the whole world seemed to be pressed the mute button. Whether it is the roar of the guns of ten warships, or the exclamations of people, or the sound of waves in the sea...... All sounds were gone.
Under the great pressure brought by the giants, ordinary people, CP agents, and sailors couldn't help but have the urge to kneel - this has nothing to do with Ultraman Bayeri representing justice or evil, and it has nothing to do with his actions, it is just the fear instinct that creatures will produce when facing higher life forms, and Ultraman Bayili just appeared, and forcibly awakened this primal instinct of all people.
Sakasky on the battleship is one of the few people in this world who can still maintain normal actions and thoughts, but his eyes are also firmly fixed on Ultraman Bayelli, who is incarnated by Polusalino, and his hands are involuntarily clenched into fists - although he doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit that his current strongest move, "Meteor Volcano", which can burn out a small island, is estimated to not even be able to break the defense of the giant in front of him.
Porusalino, who has already incarnated as Ultraman Bayeri, naturally does not know these thoughts of Sakasky, in fact, all his current energy is focused on the matter of moving the tree - with his strength, if he is not careful, this giant tree can only be used as firewood.
I saw Ultraman Bayeri raise his hands slightly, and a spherical golden shield instantly formed around the Tree of All-Knowing. The heavy shells of the navy warship that had not stopped firing smashed on this protective cover, and without even the slightest ripple, they dissipated in an instant.
Polusalino slowly rose up with the shield ball, and within the shield, the Tree of All-Knowing seemed to be pulled upward, leaving the land of O'Hara Island little by little, and its complex root system, which was much larger than the canopy, gradually appeared.
Finally, the entire Tree of Omniscience was successfully stripped from O'Hara Island by Ultraman Bayeri. O'Hara Island was left with a sea of mud and rubble and a huge crater about the size of the whole island filled with seawater. If someone could look down from the sky at this time, he would be amazed at what he saw:
At this time, O'Hara no longer looks like an island, but like a flower pot containing the giant tree of the Tree of All-Knowing!
Seeing this, Sakasky felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart:
The volley of artillery fired by dozens of naval warships for so long just now brought even less damage to this island than the slight raising of the hand of this giant named Ultraman Bayeri, incarnated by Polusalino!
(The same are all natural Devil Fruits, the same time to join the Navy, the same training...... Is there such a big gap between me and Polusalino? οΌ
(Sakasky, ah, Sakasky, you're still far from it!) οΌ
Polusalino manipulated Ultraman Bayeri, looked in the direction of the Navy warship, and after performing Ultraman's signature arcane head, he immediately put the spherical shield on his chest and flew away with a "xia" sound.
A few seconds later, one after another, the people who began to gasp for breath heard the thunderous voice of Polusalino that had been left in the sky in order to pretend to be forced:
"Sakasky, I'll take the tree first, you can continue the mission!"
"By the way, remember to protect the safety of civilians, this is our duty as a navy!"
β¦β¦
A few minutes later, below the Polusalino route, a fisherman B on Island A in the West Sea, who was eating a meal, smashed his bowl on the ground with a "clang".
After a moment of sluggishness, he ran into the house:
"Wife! Come out and see the gods! β
β¦β¦
On the day of O'Hara's demon slaying order, it was unclear how many people saw himself flying in the sky holding a giant tree. But based on the number of letters from readers in the entertainment section of the World Economic News on the second day, he can roughly judge that the number will not be less than five figures.
And with such a large number of witnesses, it is conceivable that the topic of discussion and heated discussion brought about it - the entire pirate world seems to have begun to discuss this matter.
All of a sudden, what "Giant Pirates with the ability of flying Devil Fruits", "Flying Giants, the key figure who helped Roger become One Piece", "The Giant Guy is actually from the deep sea...... And so on and similar funny rumors are spreading.
The rumored figure himself, that is, Polusalino, who completed the transplanting task of the All-Knowing Tree Red Clay Continent, was still wondering if he was going to conduct a rumor-refuting interview in the name of "World Economic News", but the world government directly ordered him to cooperate with this official media to issue a statement.
There are two main parts to the statement: one is the true identity of the giant, and the other is the origin of the tree that the giant is holding in his hand.
The identity of the giant is well explained: the World Economic News directly pointed out that the giant was Polusalino, who was recently promoted to vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, and the natural person has the ability of the Shining Fruit, and the giant is part of his ability - Polusalino also admitted this statement in the form of an interview.
As for explaining the origin of this tree, the World Economic News does not have such a large authority, after all, one careless person will leak the true situation of O'Hara. After waiting for half a day, Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, sent a statement drawn up by the five old stars himself, which did not allow any changes, to his personal phone worm through the text transmission function of the phone bug.
The statement reads like this:
"In order to promote the cultural prosperity of the whole world, and to ensure the authority and leading position of the archaeological mecca of O'Hara in the world archaeological community, the world government sent a navy to assist in the relocation of the entire island of O'Hara. Among them, many of O'Hara's scholars and the world's largest library, the Tree of Omniscience, were directly migrated to the Red Earth; The residents of O'Hara are free to settle around the world as they wish after receiving a grant from the World Government. β
(In the original plot, because he couldn't lie, he simply put the whole island of O'Hara on the hat of studying ancient weapons that destroyed the world, and showed off his muscles and deterrence by announcing the destruction of O'Hara.) And now that I'm involved, the Tree of All-Knowing has been retained, so why don't you just choose to take this opportunity to create a tall positive image...... It's so free and flexible! οΌ
Rao is based on the thickness of Polusalino's face, and when he saw this second statement, he couldn't help but praise the brazenness of the world government - it is obviously black but can be said to be white, and he also attributed this whiteness to his own side, which is simply a fight with Uncle Sam who crossed the previous world, shameless to the extreme.
However, such a polity would be a headache as an opponent, but it would be perfect for Polusalino, a guy who just wants to borrow a big tree to cool off.
β¦β¦
After cooperating with the World Economic News to issue a statement to refute the rumors, Polusalino immediately rushed to the East China Sea, and received his titular adopted daughter, Ann, the daughter of One Piece Roger, in Vice Admiral Karp's hometown of Windmill Island.
For this adopted daughter who suddenly appeared, Porusalino was helpless in addition to helplessness. Although he is responsible for the butterfly effect caused by him, he has no experience in taking care of children in his previous life or in this life.
Robin's kind, a little older and more sensible, is a little better, but Ann's kind of baby ...... The thought that in the future I will have to feed Ann, change her diaper, and put her to sleep...... Polusalino had a headache.
However, this is not the most troublesome thing for Polusalino, the biggest headache for him is on the side of Major General Fina, who only fooled little Robin in the name of adopting a stepsister a few days ago, and it is not appropriate to think in the name of adoption now.
If Major General Fina gets angry, then the problem will be raised. Although Major General Fina's bare feet (black silk?) Beth? Shaving often brought Polusalino heavenly pleasures, but he never dared to forget that the other party's domineering kick with armed color would normally have the power to shatter steel.
"There should be a lot of female soldiers who are breastfeeding in Marinfando, so I can only go to them for help......
"Wait! The female sailor who took care of the children, at this point in time, I remember that one......"
"But then again, what kind of devil fruit should I arrange for this little guy Ann? As the daughter of One Piece, I am also my nominal adopted daughter, so I can't be too late......"
"Is it the Thunder Fruit that Dover found on Sky Island? Or is it the fruit of art that hasn't been used yet? It's a good idea to dominate the top two fastest in the world with your adoptive father, but it's also cool to have a girl whose art is an explosion! β
While thinking about what he had and didn't have, Polusalino returned to the Navy headquarters with the infant Ann.
