Pirate Bloody Hand Mary - Chapter 444
c443 Decisive Battle 15·The Standard of Civilization
“?”
Mary tilted her head and avoided Ann. An also shrugged his shoulders and turned sideways.
A man in a white coat walked toward her with precise steps that were equal in length.
She was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and said, “Vegapunk? No… Da Vinci?”
“This is really a nostalgic name.”
Begapunk walked straight past her, bent down, picked some trees that were completely gray, and put them into the test tube.
“Your two followers kept me away until you woke up. To be honest, the changes around you are quite attractive.”
“The molecules of these trees have changed. What, is this your fruit ability?”
He carefully sampled and separated the materials that different plants turned into.
“You can’t recover from your wounds… Do you need help?”
“We won’t use this for now. I’m more curious, how did you come to Lafdru?”
Mary frowned and looked at Vegapunk.
Vegapunk took out a life paper pointer directly from his pocket and handed it to Mary to see.
“You are very fast. My submarine is much slower than you at full speed. It takes a lot of effort to catch up with you.”
“…my life paper, did you take body tissue samples from me when I visited you before?”
Mary asked, crossing her arms.
Vegapunk nodded and shook his head: “I have indeed used your body sample, but with your crazy way of splashing blood, it’s strange that you can’t get it, right?”
“But it’s not your body samples that are used to make these life papers.”
“That’s Venus’s.”
“Your reaction speed is quite fast.”
Mary was noncommittal about this, and after taking the paper of life pointer from Vegapunk, she raised it up.
“Is this thing not pointing at Venus, but at me?”
“Sure enough, is Venus the clone you made based on me?”
“I can’t say it’s based on you, but…haha, there are quite a lot of things that happened in it.” Vegapunk’s laughter made it impossible to hear any emotion, as if he was just coping, “Including Weiner Si’s recovery… or possession of [that] memory of yours was purely an accident. To be honest, I can only understand the principle now, but I can’t figure out why it happened specifically.”
“I have to talk to you more to know this.”
After carefully putting away the collected samples, Vegapunk patted Mary on the shoulder.
“Let’s go to the coast and talk. The air here is uncomfortable. There’s an inexplicable dryness to it.”
“It just so happens that I also brought two little guys this time. Maybe you can get to know them.”
After that, he walked quickly towards the coast.
Mary spread her hands and watched An tilt her head.
“Let’s go.”
The group of people came to the coast, and Lilia was circling a man and a woman, looking at them.
The two children, a boy and a girl, look alike, but their body colors are different, and they can be identified only by their hair and body shape.
“Let me introduce, this is A Tian, and this is A Hai.”
Vegapunk walked up to the two of them and introduced Mary.
Later, he also introduced Mary to the two children.
“Hello, General Bloody Hand.”
A Tian and A Hai bowed politely to Mary, who was half a head shorter than them.
After Mary observed the two children for a while, she suddenly said:
“These two children are not human, are they?”
“!?”
An and Lilia were shocked when they heard this.
In contrast, Vegapunk smiled as expected.
“It seems that your fruit ability is indeed related to vitality. After all, from the same flesh and blood as humans, it can be seen that the only difference between them and humans is their life form.”
After expressing his appreciation to Mary, he put away his smile and nodded.
“Yes, A Tian and A Hai are half-elves. They are artificial humans created by me based on the elves of the sky and the elves of the sea.”
“They are neither humans nor elves. They possess some characteristics of both sides and are considered semi-finished products. I call them half-elves.”
“Sure enough, it has something to do with those two guys.”
Mary said clearly that from the very beginning she felt that the two people in front of her had abnormal life forms and names related to the sky and the sea, she suspected that there was a connection between the two children and the two big elves.
“But… half-elf? Then…”
“They can hear it.”
Before Mary could finish her question, Bega Punk answered as if she was predicting the future.
Then he raised his eyebrows.
“Oh, I really didn’t expect that Rafdru would have to be an elf to get there. So Roger is also an elf? No… he could also be a ship elf…”
“This kind of hearing is not unique to elves.”
Mary waved her hand, and after answering Begapunk’s doubts, she touched her chin.
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized something.
“Half-elf…half-finished product? Did you just say half-finished product?”
She looked up at Vegapunk: “If having both elf and human qualities is considered a semi-finished product, what does it look like to you as a finished product?”
“The finished product will of course be a life that can convert between humans and elves.”
Begapunk patted A Tian on the head.
“Although half-elves have the characteristics of both humans and elves, they are neither complete. No matter which direction they go, they will be subject to considerable restrictions and influences, which is not a good thing.”
“The finished product can switch between humans and elves, and has all the characteristics of humans and elves at the same time——”
Suddenly, Vegapunk looked at Mary with a deep look.
“Your Excellency Mary, do you already have such ability?”
“Half-elves can also detect the fluctuations of elves. Before arriving at Rafdru, the aura of elves coincided with your position. However, while we were still in the process of heading to Rafdru, this fluctuation suddenly occurred without warning. Disappeared.”
“This is supposed to be your handiwork. It would be offensive if I guessed wrong.”
“It’s really me.”
Mary didn’t mean to hide anything, she just glanced at the half-elf in surprise.
It’s pretty cool. Can elves actually locate the locations of other elves?
This surprise passed in a flash, and she continued: “Then what? Vegapunk, do you need me to help you study the finished product? Although I am not good at science and technology, but if you need to know the feelings of some changes in life forms, I could talk to you more.”
“No need, I’ve already researched the finished product.”
Vegapunk said.
Mary was stunned for a moment: “What?”
“I’ve already researched the finished product.”
Vegapunk repeated.
Mary suddenly turned her head to look at Vegapunk, who showed a rare indifferent smile.
A bad feeling arose in Mary’s heart for no apparent reason.
“Hey…Vegapunk…the finished product you are talking about…?”
“The person who commissioned me to create half-elves and study elves was the same person who made the final product.”
Begapunk pursed his lips and stopped showing off: “Yin Mu.”
“…”
Mary took a deep breath and covered her head.
After a while, she raised her head and released her eroticism over a large area.
There was not much movement for miles around.
“The elves can easily find Rafdru…” Mary’s tone was a little cold, “You have done me a terrible job, Begapunk.”
“I didn’t know that elves had such power before this.”
Vegapunk said without changing his expression.
Mary stared at Vegapunk for a while, but he didn’t show any shame on his face.
After a long time, she could only give up.
There was no way, it really couldn’t be said that Vegapunk had done anything wrong, and to be honest, Vegapunk and she were not the same people, and Mary had nothing to blame him for.
I can only say that I am unlucky.
Mary rubbed her temples with a headache, and had no intention of chatting with Vegapunk.
She grabbed An on one side and turned around and walked towards the Tower of Babel, with Lilia hurriedly following behind.
“Where are you going?”
Vegapunk’s voice came from behind.
“Central Tower.” Mary said angrily, “Thanks to you, I originally wanted to investigate Lovedru. Now who knows when Yinmu will arrive in Lovedru.”
“You can’t get in there. I’ve just been to the central tower. The entire tower is sealed. Forcibly breaking in without a [key] will cause the entire tower to self-destruct.”
Begapunk signaled to A Tian and A Hai, and the three followed Mary closely.
“Do you think you know where the [key] is?”
“I can’t say whether I know it or not. It can only be said to be a guess.”
Mary was not so sure: “To enter the tower, three types of devil fruit ability users are indispensable.”
“That’s it.” Vegapunk nodded thoughtfully.
Mary kept walking and said as she hurried on:
“By the way, why are you following me?”
“Of course we have to enter this tower, otherwise why would we come to Ravdru?”
Vegapunk explained calmly: “I feel that the technology I can develop personally has reached a bottleneck. The last time I encountered a bottleneck, Vegapunk himself wandered around and made a big breakthrough in O’Hara. .”
“The impact of that adventure has only faded recently. I thought that since Vegapunk traveled around and encountered adventure more than ten years ago, I should go out more often.”
“As for where to go, Roger said that the Great Secret Treasure has everything everyone wants. I am quite interested in this. So I came here to have a look. Now it seems that I came right.”
Vegapunk explained and asked: “Speaking of which, I gave you part of the historical text before, right? Have you analyzed it? Do you know what this tower is?”
“This is a current generator created by scientists from the Infinite Earth. It is named after the sea elf. In other words, the current generator [Renesmee].”
Mary replied: “I don’t know if this thing has been completed. At that time, the war broke out when the people in Infinite Land were still building this thing, and there was no time to use it later.”
“I see.”
After getting Mary’s answer, Vegapunk stopped talking and was thinking about something to himself.
Mary ignored Bega Punk and just hurried towards the center with her head down.
She knew that Vegapunk wanted to follow her into the central tower, but there was no need for her to refuse.
The reason is simple. Mary has no idea what the structure is in the central tower. She wants to get the Stone of Lunalia, but God knows where in the tower that small stone is?
And if something unexpected happened in the tower, she didn’t know how to deal with it. As she said, Mary was not familiar with technology.
Anyway, although Vegapunk is not on the same team as him, he is not an enemy either. He needs his own power to enter the central tower to experience the core technology from the infinite earth, and he also needs Vegapunk to deal with various equipment inside the tower that he has never seen before.
Mutual benefit and win-win are not a bad thing.
Soon after, the six-man team arrived at the foot of the tower.
“The entrance is here.”
Before Mary woke up, Vegapunk, who had already investigated Rafdru, pointed out the location to Mary and others.
A group of people arrived at the gate.
A huge iron door ten meters high stood quietly on the ground, with a line of words written on the top of the door frame:
“Trespassing, ‘Renesmee’ will activate its self-destruction program.”
“It’s because of these words that I didn’t dare to act rashly.” Vegapunk sighed, “However, as long as you give me enough time, it shouldn’t be difficult to crack this program.”
Ignoring Vegapunk’s unintentionally pretentious words, Mary stared at the door in front of her and began to think.
The gate of this exhibition not only has that line of warning, but also has many square words engraved on it.
“Historical text.” Vegapunk said, “I can’t understand this kind of text. You should have historians there. Are you here this time? Is it one of these two little girls?”
“No, she didn’t come.”
Mary shook her head and said, then her eyes shrank slightly.
“However, I have the ability to understand.”
“……Um?”
Vegapunk narrowed his eyes.
“Not just me, the two around you should also have this ability.”
Mary added.
Vegapunk was stunned for a moment and looked at the two children beside him.
A Tian and A Hai had complicated expressions on their faces, as if they had seen something incomprehensible.
“Strictly speaking, I understand.”
Mary said, smiling.
Listening to the voices of all things… you can hear the voice of the text of history.
In the original work, Roger relied on this ability to finally reach the finish line and successfully become the king.
And now, the two half-elf children can “listen” and understand what the historical text in front of them is saying.
Vegapunk’s eyes turned to the two of them. After Ahai understood it for a while, he spoke slowly:
“[Whether it is the renewal of science or the advancement of force, it does not mean the progress of a civilization.]”
“[The civilization of this world has become more hypocritical than before, and it also sounds a wake-up call for us.]”
“[What we pursue is the standard to measure a civilization, and now science and force have been successfully excluded.]”
“[If intelligence is the standard for measuring the level of civilization, then what is the standard for measuring intelligence?]”
“[We will seek answers to this and reject all violence to this end.]”
“[In today’s war-torn world, intelligence should not be despised. In the long history, it has already proven its value.]”
“[We may fail, and this direction may be wrong.]”
“[But everything we do is not to prove our correctness and superiority. As intelligent beings, we must open up a way for the future.]”
“[Maybe our goals are completely different from what we do, but we still have to call for it!]”
