Chapter 67: The Moon
Two days later,
"Hee-hee-hee~~ There's air here!"
The Black Cat landed on the white ground, sitting cross-legged on the thundercloud 'Zeus', and Luffy, who found that he was finally able to make a sound, immediately tried to expose his head outside the oxygen bubble, and found that he could not only talk, but also breathe.
"Because this is the birthplace of that 'great kingdom' thousands of years ago,"
Luffy opened his left half of his face to speak, and the others were still wondering why this white desolate land used the oxygen that humans needed to breathe, but Rosie knew very well.
"The people of the Sky Island, the Sandians of the golden city of Shandora, and the Bika people of Anilu's hometown. They all arrived from this planet to the world we came from: thousands of years ago, they built a huge kingdom with the help of technology, only to be destroyed by the twenty kings led by Yin Mu, and all records were erased from history, except-"
"Historical text!"
Robin reacted, but she didn't expect that the birthplace of the historical text was actually here.
"Luffy, borrow your body."
syllable
Jumping off Zeus, Rossi controlled Luffy's body with his palms together, countless lightning flashes flew out, and invisible electromagnetic waves swept across the entire white earth in circles, and after carefully perceiving it for a while:
"Found it, follow me."
As Rossi took control of Luffy's body to lead the way, the others followed, and the group sped across the cratered surface of the moon.
Soon, a huge annular pit appeared in front of everyone. There are many such craters in the desolate white land of the moon, but the apparent depth in front of you is unusual: a normal annular crater should be an inverted bowl, and the center of this crater is pitch black and bottomless, and it obviously does not look like a normal natural environment.
brush
As Rossi's path leaped down, the others followed.
"Lamp, the wind can't extinguish you, the starlight is not as bright as yours, so I can't hide as far as my eyes can see—"
As Jorah spread out his hand, a horse lantern in a glass cover emerged, and the soft light instantly illuminated this deep giant pit, allowing everyone to see the ground dozens of meters below.
syllable
As everyone fell to the bottom of the pit, Rosie, who had already detected the destination, controlled Luffy's left hand to raise and aim at the diagonal bottom of the pothole.
"Thunder Light!"
Boom———————
The scorching white light instantly pierced and melted the earth and stones, and straight opened a huge hole, bottomless!
In fact, this thunderbolt did not really reach the point of piercing the earth. After all, Luffy's body used now would be similar if it were replaced by Rosie himself: the reason why a bottomless hole was formed was because:
"Could it be... The city of the moonmen underground? ”
In fact, with the flash of thunder from this punch, everyone could see the huge space that flashed below the entrance of the cave, as well as traces of architecture and technological creation.
"That's right,"
The first to walk into this carved hole, as the lamp made by Chola 'Immortal Flame' floated ahead, the eyes of everyone who passed through this passage opened up, and a high-tech city appeared in front of everyone.
Dense pipes sprawl out in all directions, and the ground is lined with tracks, adding a bit of cyberpunk flavor to this underground rocky city.
"Zeus, borrow your power."
"Huh?"
Rossi controlled Luffy to grab the thundercloud 'Zeus' floating next to him with one hand, and then pointed his other hand at the city in front of him in Zeus's surprise:
"Brontosaurus!"
Roar ————!
In the long roar of the dragon, endless thunder and lightning spread out from Zeus's body, lingering around Luffy, flickering and jumping. There are more and more of them, and the brightness is getting stronger and stronger, and finally it condenses into a huge silver lightning thunder dragon that is more than tens of meters thick, like a sea king, and rushes towards the city in front of him!
?
With Zoro, Nami and the others puzzled, Robin subconsciously stepped forward.
The city in front of me has obviously been abandoned for I don't know how many years, and Rosie-sensei attacks with Luffy's body - who is the target of the attack?
The answer is: the city in front of you!
As the thunder dragon roared into this underground city, there was no earth-shattering loud noise, no shock of earth collapse. The terrifying thunder dragon suddenly fell apart in the roaring and meandering, and countless thunderbolts seemed to be invisibly pulled, scattering along the pipes that densely covered the city and began to jump, gallop, and transmit.
?!
In an instant, the thunderbolts that could destroy the city and destroy the mountains spread out like a stream of water, absorbed by the city, and then flowed into the tower in the center of the city with countless pipes.
It was a high-tech tower, surrounded by a circle of metal coils and topped by a giant glass ball. As countless lightning poured into the tower, dazzling sparks began to jump inside the glass sphere, and the city, which had been sealed in the dust for thousands of years, finally came to life again.
"Zi·· Zizizi···"
"The plasma spark tower is activated, and it is charging! 5%、6%、7%···”
"The lighting system is on,"
When the cold electronic sound prompt reached 10% of the charge, the entire city suddenly lit up, and countless soft lights reflected the entire underground city in a brilliant light. It's a pity that the city is no longer the inhabitants of those who once lived here.
"The defenses are on,"
When the charge reaches 30%, countless currents are distributed to the 'robot workshop' located in the city, and countless Q version robots with only three heads and spears are activated, although the appearance is funny, but the combat power is not funny at all. Agile, steely, connected, fearless...
These Q-version soldiers armed with spears all have not weak intelligence, and they are rushing towards the entrance of the cave!
"Identity System On,"
Finally, a cold electronic sound resounded in the city, and at the same time, a ray of light swept over Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Anilu, and Jorah at the entrance of the cave.
"One descendant of the 'Priest' bloodline was found, as well as eight Blue Star people. Contact the 'Three Feathers Council' and request the next step. ”
"Z... Zizi, the Three Feathers Council was silent and could not be contacted. ”
"According to the council's procedure, those of the 'priest' bloodline are appointed as council members."
After a series of cold electronic sounds, the Q robots that had just rushed to this side stopped one after another, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Anilu.
"Distinguished members of the Council, greetings from the Bika City Artificial Intelligence System."
?
"Hehe, I can't imagine that Anilu you still have a 'overlord color domineering', let these robots bow their heads."
】
Rosie turned his head to tease Anilu next to him, of course, just teasing. However, this also explains why, in the original timeline, after Anilu activated the city, all the robots automatically pledged allegiance to him: he was originally a moonman with red roots, and he was completely homesick.
Although he is the only one in this 'hometown'.
"This... This is Bica? ”
In the face of the robots' bows, Anilu himself couldn't believe it.
In other words, what his father, grandfather, and those who died guarding the legend of the so-called 'boundless land' are true?
On the moon, there is an infinite land, and there is a real city 'Bica', which is their home?
"Ha, that's stupid."
Thinking of his father, grandfather, who died in poverty, Anilu couldn't help but cover his face with one hand.
"Since the boundless earth exists, and the real homeland 'Bika' exists, then what is the reason for everything our family has suffered?!"
"Because of the World Government,"
It was Luffy's body, so Rosie could only pat Anilu's arm to comfort him.
"The huge kingdom established by the moon people eight hundred years ago has fallen into the hands of the predecessor of the world government, and all relevant records and knowledge will be wiped out. You Bika still have a name left, and you are a priest who still insists on the truth. ”
"Look at the island of Gaya, the moon people of the golden town of Shandora, directly from a high-tech race capable of interstellar immigration to a wild man dressed as a jungle warrior."
···
Although Rosie's words are a bit unpleasant, people are like this: when they hear that there are people who are worse than themselves, they feel much better in their hearts.
"I'll leave it to you, Anilu."
Now the people of the moon are living a 'peaceful' life at an altitude of 10,000 meters above the blue planet, and Anilu is the only one who returns to his hometown.
According to the electronic voice, Anilu has control of the city: although there are only a bunch of robots left in the city.
As for the fear of a 'smart machine crisis'?
Don't make a fuss, although Anilu is wearing a white coat, the well-defined muscles under the clothes are not decorations. And he also ate the fruit of the weapon: if he really wanted to fight, he could easily destroy the city.
Not to mention the Q version of the robot soldiers in this newly activated city, even if they immigrated to the blue planet below, established a huge kingdom, and had a large number of high-tech moon people, wouldn't they be bulldozed by the fruit abilities and domineering masters who were still using knives and guns in that world?
————
"It's amazing,"
Chopper scurried around in the group of robot soldiers who were as tall as himself,
"I can't imagine that there are cities on the moon,"
Robin began to study the city's murals, texts. All the information here is recorded in ancient texts, that is, it is the same as the historical text.
"Indeed, the trip was an eye-opener."
Sanji couldn't help but sigh, he had seen a lot of high-tech in the Vince Mock family, but compared to the city in front of him, it was far from qualified.
"Guys, we're not here to travel, don't forget our goal."
Sauron, who was leaning next to him, spoke calmly,
"Have you all forgotten Dressrosa's situation? Although the teacher didn't say it, he should want to return sooner. ”
"I'm sorry!" x2
Hearing Zoro's words, Luffy and Chopper, who reacted, bent down to the air and apologized in an orderly manner, and the others also withdrew their attention from the city, their goal was the sun, and there was a very exaggerated distance.
"Let's go,"
Nami beckoned and walked towards the hole she had come from.
Now that they've set foot on the moon, they're going to the sun to rescue Mr. Rossi!
