395 Quests to the New World
"Look, it's a Navy ship, it's really rare, I haven't seen it in years......"
The inhabitants of the island looked at the boats on the shore and discussed in amazement.
"Please come with us, the owner of the island has agreed with you." A man wearing a jacket with a blue cockscomb hairstyle on the top of his head said to Luffy and the others.
"It's been a long time since a navy or pirates have visited this island, and I'm a serious general, the owner's bodyguard."
"This is also a matter of course, there is no way to store magnetic fields on your island, which means that it is difficult for pirates to reach this kind of place, so the navy will rarely come......" Nami took out a blank record pointer and looked at the magnetic reserve on it without responding.
"It's an island like a paradise."
"However, due to the lack of minerals, we can only purchase a large amount of supplies from the outside world, and it is difficult for transport ships to reach this mechanical island...... is good or bad," Shogun said as he led the way.
"Why is it called a mechanical island?" Uta asked curiously.
"I don't know, that's what I called the island in the first place."
"To say that the island cannot record the magnetic field...... This is the case with only the creature type of island, so is this island a living creature? Turtle Island? ”
Luffy thought for a moment and asked curiously, the mechanical island has the dual meaning of machine and turtle according to the reading, which can be regarded as a homophonic joke in Japanese.
Besides, there is no way to store magnetic fields, and the New World is like an island on the back of the Lord, and the same is true of the Fur Clan.
Outsiders can't enter the furry kingdom where the fur tribe is located through normal means, because of this characteristic, that country is also called the legendary country, and ordinary people can't believe that there is that country.
Hearing Luffy say this, a cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the serious general, and he didn't expect that the secrets on this island would be told by Luffy in a few words.
"Don't ...... No kidding, how is it possible to have island creatures with an area of 200,000 square kilometers? That's too big, isn't it? ”
The serious general said embarrassedly.
"Yes, we've seen a huge island whale before, and island shells, which are all giant creatures that can be inhabited by humans...... Nokigao said.
"You've seen it!"
"Your island is also quite strange, it's obviously a summer island, but there are white snow-capped mountains on the top of the mountain?" Robin asked.
"Well, it's not snow, it's just white rock formations."
During the conversation, gradually walking to the castle on the island, Luffy also met the so-called genius scientist Ratchet.
Ratchet has short pale blonde hair and wears a pair of glasses, "Welcome to the Mechanical Island, I am the owner of the island here, Ratchet, and on both sides, I made the mechanical maids." ”
Ratchet looked at Luffy scrutinically, a well-known naval hero who is now a lieutenant colonel.
If you want to realize your ambition to conquer the world, the navy is also an indispensable enemy, but it is better not to fight the navy now.
After all, it was a behemoth, and it would be difficult to defeat the navy without gaining the power of the giant tortoise.
Lu looked curiously at the mechanical maids on both sides of the castle.
They look like real human women on the outside, wearing white silk gloves on their hands, dressed in orthodox maid attire, and with the same expressions on their faces.
"These mechanical maids have internal motivation and can understand simple commands, but their bodies are relatively fragile, and they are considered half-finished." Ratchet pulled out a keyboard and pressed it on it.
"I want a cup of coffee." Uta asked tentatively to the mechanical maid.
When the maid heard this, she turned her head with a click, and went to get her coffee.
"Well... It's amazing! Uta looked at the mechanical maids in shock.
As soon as he praised it, he saw that the mechanical maid fell directly to the ground because of the lower head, revealing the mechanical components in it.
"Head! The head is broken! ”
"It's a cheap semi-finished product, but it's enough to keep everything in the castle clean, so I have no intention of continuing my research." Ratchet took a cup of coffee and said to Luffy.
"I want the perfect mechanical maid, and I want to install a production line on the ship." Luffy thought about it and came up with his own idea.
"Do you want to install a production line on a warship? For such a maid, it will take 80,000 Baileys to produce one, and if you want a better model, you need to invest more money in research and development. Ratchet asked.
"It's okay, after all, this kind of semi-finished product doesn't meet my expectations, I'll help you do a more detailed study......" Luffy casually took apart the mechanical maid's head and chest cavity to see the strange structure inside.
Belch...... Not realistic enough.
These things...... How the hell do you understand human commands?
What is the two-dimensional black technology?
"Do you know clockwork technology too?" Ratchet was a little surprised.
"Hmm...... A little bit understood. ”
"Then Luffy, let's just wander around this island?" Nami asked.
"Hmm..."
"We put weapons on the hands of the mechanical minions, can these things become soldiers?" Luffy begins to explore black technology with Ratchet.
"Hmph, I've already done what you're talking about, I've made an archery doll, and it's laid out on the coastline, and if an enemy invades, they're waiting for a thousand arrows...... "Ratchet dismissively dismissed.
"Archery is too rubbish, so let's use heavy firepower equipment like a machine gun, right?"
Luffy stayed on the island for two days, and upgraded the product with Ratchet, and the price was upgraded from the original 80,000 Bailey to 180,000 Bailey.
Better mechanical parts are used.
"It's amazing, if we work together to develop it, even world domination will be easy!" Ratchet said to Luffy in amazement.
"With these broken copper and iron, it is impossible to conquer the world with another hundred thousand, I just need them to do miscellaneous work for me and fill the empty hull."
Luffy made a slight move, which amazed Ratchet.
"What nonsense? These puppets are not afraid of death, they only need 180,000 Baileys to be made, which is cheaper than human life, as long as a million puppets are made, won't they be able to form an army? ”
Ratchet disagrees with Luffy.
"This question...... How so? Luffy looked at the scientist in front of him.
"Look at the mountain in the distance, right?" Luffy said to Ratchet.
"Well, what's wrong?" Ratchet asked, looking at the mountain in the distance.
"I can blow that mountain up."
"You're kidding, aren't you?" Ratchet didn't believe it.
"Do you want to try it then?" Luffy asked.
"Okay, so you're going to blow up that mountain?" Ratchet hesitated and said.
He saw Luffy's arm gradually steam rise and become pitch black.
Luffy's hands clenched into fists, and after making sure that there was no superfluous sound in the mountain, Luffy slammed his fist into the air.
A visible column of steam burst out, stretching for thousands of meters, and bombarded the mountain, and the violent force instantly pierced the mountain, causing a deep crater to appear in it.
Ratchett's eyes almost popped out.
"Your mountain is hollow...... Luffy withdrew, "it's easier than I thought." ”
"Hit ...... It's blown up, the mountain is blown up......" Ratchet lost his voice for a while.
The force of the rage spread from the mountain downward, and then the entire island began to shake, and huge cracks spread from the mountain to the entire island.
"It's an earthquake, I'm not that awesome, am I?"
Luffy was dumbfounded.
It can be done with a single blow to the mountain, but destroying an island, Luffy feels that he still thinks too much.
"This island is alive, you just attacked...... The island turtle fairy who may have awakened this island ......" Ratchet swallowed and said to Luffy.
"It's really alive." Luffy exclaimed.
"Hmm...... When my father died, he told me about the sacred ruins in the place where the ancestors slumbered on the hill, and that it was a place that only men of the clan could enter, and that there was actually a record of turtles.
For a long, long time, the inhabitants of this island have maintained a happy coexistence with the island turtle fairy itself, and for a thousand years the island turtle has been sleeping on the turtle shell.
However, when the island turtle was about to lay eggs, it had to be awakened, and the ancestors passed down the ritual of awakening it through songs...... Originally, we needed to crack the secret of the song and gradually awaken the island turtle fairy...... Now it seems that you woke up the island turtle fairy with your fist......"
"So what's next?" Luffy asked Lachett.
"Just wait for the island turtle fairy to lay eggs naturally, and it's time to wake it up anyway......," Lachette said embarrassedly, "I've actually been looking for a way to wake up the island turtle a few years ago, but I haven't found it." ”
"Then I guess I stumbled into it by mistake, hahaha......"
The rock formations cracked, the giant turtle's head rose from the bottom of the sea, and the entire island showed signs of an earthquake in response to the turtle's movements.
"Lord Lachett has woken up the island turtle, do we still want to control the island turtle fairy in order to conquer the world?"
The serious general ran over and asked Ratchet.
"You're going to conquer the world with this thing?" Luffy blinked.
"What are you kidding, we have always pursued the idea of harmonious coexistence between people and island turtle immortals, how can we rely on island turtles to conquer the world?"
Ratchet wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, "Hey, serious general, don't talk nonsense!" ”
"Even if you have an island turtle, you can't conquer the world, Lieutenant Colonel Luffy, this world is ...... People like you, are there many? Ratchet asked Luffy cautiously.
"The colonel can generally fight ordinary sea kings, the seven martial seas can generally achieve island-level destructive power, and the general can generally destroy several islands together...... Luffy thought.
"Even if you want to rule the world with this island turtle, I can wipe you off the back of the island turtle, after all, you can't resist at such a close distance......"
"It's all said, we are all good citizens, and it is impossible to do such a thing as enslaving animals!" Ratchett roared loudly.
"That's fine, by the way, my mechanical dolls, I want five hundred."
"Delivery in a week!" Ratchet said with a respectful military salute to Luffy.
"We only need to change the original mechanical maid to deliver it quickly."
"Then I'm sorry for you, let's pay the deposit." Luffy touched his bank card.
"How can you ask for money from the Navy? It's all delivered, it's all delivered......" Ratchet hurriedly covered the bank card in Luffy's hand.
"I'm so embarrassed......"
"To contribute to the cause of science, everyone is a scientist, we are all scientists, we have done technical discussions, and it should be ...... without charge"
"Then I'll wait for your good news." Luffy put away his bank card and went out to see the super sea creatures.
"Almost died......"
Seeing Luffy leave, Ratchet collapsed and sat on the ground.
"My lord, are we really not going to conquer the world?" The serious general asked in a low voice.
"I want to live a few more years...... Become an island scientist...... It's actually pretty good. ”
"Transform that navy ship right now, and let them leave quickly!"
Ratchet gritted his teeth, met Luffy, and for a while he didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune, in short, his eyes were broadened.
"Luffy Luffy, what a big tortoise!"
Uta exclaimed as she looked at the giant eyes of the island turtle.
"I heard that the island turtle is going to lay eggs, isn't it a little too strange, if it has been sleeping, how can it mate? Asexual reproduction? Luffy said with a lot of nerve.
"Maybe." Robin smiled.
"Let's go to the ass and see how the eggs are laid!" Uta was intrigued.
They drove the boat around the island to the tail, and saw a huge eggshell more than three meters high squirting out from the buttocks of the island turtle.
"Oh, oh, that's amazing!"
"It's a deep hole......" Luffy said with emotion as he looked at the place where the eggs were laid.
"Island turtles may be vegetatively reproduced."
With a crack, a huge eggshell cracks in the middle, and a baby turtle is born.
The broken eggshell was like a golden crown in the sea.
When the eggshell cracks, it begins to dissolve in seawater and becomes smaller and smaller.
"I still want to sell the eggshells for money." Nami said regretfully.
Uta clicked and took a picture of the island turtle's buttocks, and Luffy's voice rang with a phone bug.
"Hey, Luffy, when did you guys go out?" Karp's voice rang out in the boat.
"Come out for a walk, grandpa, what's the matter?" Luffy asked.
"There's a mission for you to go to the New World, and I've sent you a fax." Karp said.
"I've completed this task, and I'm a colonel."
"Oh, to the New World? What pirates to deal with? Luffy asked, leaning back against the boat.
"Not against pirates......" Karp said after a moment of silence.
"It's the Navy."
"Oh?"
"For specific information, just look at the content on the fax."
"Are we going to the New World?"
Uta turned her head, her slightly curled nose and two long, curved eyelashes forming a lovely smile.
"New World...... Are you going to go there so soon? ”
Nami frowns as she thinks about the description of the new world in class.
"It seems so."
