Chapter 9: The Instinct for Perfection

The two of them rested for a while, and then moved on.

Along the way, Klockdahl pondered a question.

Evan Lindsay, what is it?

Person?

It seems impossible to assert so easily.

Before Aven Lindsey wakes up, he is a "sculpture" on an ancient stone tablet.

The material of this ancient stone monument is similar to the historical text of the sea.

And the attitude of the world government towards the text of history has always been expressly forbidden, and mere contact is a capital crime!

For example, O'Hara, the former mecca of archaeology, just wanted to decipher the real history, and the world government launched a "demon slaying order" against it, and the entire island was wiped out by naval warships.

But even so, those "historical texts" scattered on the sea have not been destroyed.

Is it the world government that doesn't want to?

No, it's "can't be done"!

Klockdahl had studied a historical text, and the forging process of this special stele was so special that he could not destroy it even if he tried his best.

In the face of this level of hardness, it is not easy to engrave words on it, so why would anyone go to such lengths to make a sculpture?

More and more questions are popping up.

Evan Lindsay shouldn't be an ordinary "human", because "human" can't survive that long time.

But he shouldn't be a "stone" that has eaten a Devil Fruit.

Because Klockdahl clearly remembers that in yesterday's battle, he slightly scratched Lindsay's waist, from which a few drops of bright red "blood" oozed.

There is life.

And, inhuman!

Combining these two points, Klockdahl finally defined Evan Lindsay as some unknown "humanoid creature".

After all, this sea is too vast, and although there are few similar "humanoid creatures", there are certain records.

And just now, Klockdahl, who witnessed all of Evan Lindsay's actions, became more and more convinced of his own speculation.

……

Evan Lindsey was upset by the slave traders' beating of their slaves.

But his performance is obviously different from those short-lived hairy ghosts, and he did not act rashly.

Instead, after secretly freeing the slaves, he smashed the crates above from the ground, disguising himself as a "beast out of control".

As a result, all the attention of the crowd was drawn to Lindsay, and no one was left to track down the whereabouts of the slaves.

Lindsay himself remained animalistic, slamming sideways and running towards Klockdahl not far away, posing as an attacker.

The moment Klockdahl raised his hand, Lindsay disarmed himself of his animalization ability and retreated into the ground, leaving behind only a shattered shell.

In this way, in the eyes of others, it was Klockdahl, one of the king's seven martial seas, who helped deal with the out-of-control beast.

……

For Klockdahl, this level of intrigue is simple, even somewhat pediatric.

But he also knew that Evan Lindsay had just woken up, and it was not even a full day!

In Klocodahl's view, Lindsay did not understand the composition of the world, let alone the horror of world government.

But Lindsay actually understood that he needed to keep a low profile in the Red Continent, and even came up with a clever plan to get out!

How did this primitive man do it?

“……”

Instinct.

After thinking about it, Klockdahl could only give one such answer.

As a "humanoid creature", Evan Lindsay has the instinct to "seek advantage and avoid harm"!

He will follow his own ideas, free the slaves and kill the slave traders......

will also try to avoid danger as much as possible and give yourself a way to get out.

……

Klockdahl understood Evan Lindsay's personality and was relieved at the same time.

Although he still can't cope with Lindsay's character, at least, Lindsay won't get himself into big trouble.

It's that the evolution speed of this "humanoid creature" is a little too fast......

……

The two successfully passed through the Red Clay Continent.

In the harbor on the side of the park, Crocodall bought a small sailboat and took Lindsay to sea with him.

The ship didn't need much better, not even supplies.

Because as long as they sail for half a day, the two of them will be able to reach the "last stop" in the first half of the great voyage -

Chambord Islands!

It is a wonderful island made up of the roots of many large trees, and the special resin secretes a large number of bubbles, creating a unique bubble culture.

It is an extremely thriving commercial and tourism island, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the world government, but also has some illegal areas.

"I booked a deal on this island."

On deck, Crocodall looked out over the Chambord Islands and lit himself a cigar.

He looked back at Lindsay on the side, and found that the other party's eyes were shining, and he was in a state of extreme excitement, and he couldn't help but have a big head.

"When this is over, I'll take you to Alabastan, there's something I want you to see."

Alabastan?

Lindsay blinked when she heard the familiar name.

Of course he knows there.

It was a superpower located in the first half of the Great Voyage, inextricably linked to both the "Historical Text" and the "Celestial Dragons".

If everything goes well, [Sand Crocodile] Klockdar will be stationed in Alabastan through the identity of His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas, help clear out the pirates, and finally obtain the status of "National Hero".

But in reality, all this is just a preparation for the control of Alabastan and the interpretation of the historical text there.

……

That's exactly what Crocodall thought.

His purpose has always been only one, and that is the "Ancient Weapon" - [Hades]!

Once in possession of Hades, Klockdahl will gain unimaginable military power, enough to intimidate the entire sea.

On the impromptu sidelines, I went to Punk Hazard to find Caesar, also because I obtained relevant information.

But the final result was somewhat unexpected, because from the huge ancient stone tablet, an Evan Lindsay popped up......

But after all, it's already out, and it's always unwilling not to check the clues.

Klockdahl didn't know the history of the text and couldn't decipher the history of Alabastan, so he planned to take Lindsay over to see it, and maybe he could find some clues.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to try to find O'Hara's "sole survivor......

……

"Alabastan."

Lindsey muttered the name.

The land of the desert is also one of the few superpowers on the Great Voyage!

If she had the chance, Lindsay would certainly want to check it out.

But now, he is also very interested in the Chambord Islands in front of him.

Looking back at Crocodall, Lindsay grinned:

"Little crocodile, borrow some Berry flowers?"

Little Crocodile ......

Listening to these three words, a few green veins erupted on Klockdahl's forehead.

But due to Lindsay's terrifying evolutionary speed, Klockdahl really didn't want to fight Lindsay anymore, otherwise he would only become more and more passive.

Let him be.

Klockdahl pulled out a stack of Berry and was about to throw it to Lindsay.

But I didn't think about it, I only heard a "bang", and a buckshot hit the deck where the two people were.

Not far away, on the sea, a pirate ship sped up.

They are a group of pirates who have just passed the first half of the Great Voyage and are about to make their mark in the New World, and they are currently in a state of extreme excitement.

In the eyes of that group, nothing could stop them, let alone a small sailboat?

The pirate captain stood on the deck, pointed his knife at the two people on the boat, and laughed:

"Hahahahaha, I'm going to enter the new world today, and Uncle Ben will sacrifice the flag with you two unlucky eggs!"

“……”

Lindsay looked up at the big ship.

There is a light in the eyes.

He laughed and patted Klockdahl on the shoulder, and said excitedly, "Look, little crocodile, it's a living pirate!" ”

"Oh, the living ......"

Klocodahl bit his cigar and muttered.

The nameless fire in his heart has been suppressed for a long time, and now he needs an outlet.

So at the end of the previous sentence, he added:

"I'm going to die in a moment!"

Grit is surging.

But before the first gravel touched the tip of the pirate captain's knife, a dark red-skinned hand took the lead and grasped the blade.

The pirate captain looked up and saw a huge black shadow leaping up, and his eyes glowing red......
