Chapter 37 Giant Robot [VIP]
The Red Earth Continent divides the entire planet into two parts. The East Sea and the South Sea are connected to the first half of the Grand Line, while the North Sea and the West Sea are connected to the New World.
This brings up a problem. The islands located in the North Sea, West Sea and New World waters cannot be connected to the [island groups] through strong magnetism.
If they were to be connected, the islands would collide with the red soil continent before colliding with the island group.
This is also the reason why Yale did not immediately connect Harbor Island with the island group after occupying it.
At that time, he had not yet decided whether to reassemble [Island Group No. 2] in the New World, or to destroy the Red Earth Continent and pull the islands of the New World to the East China Sea.
Now he has thought it through.
Just as the airship flew over the Red Earth Continent, he decided to create a gap in this annoying continent to make his reputation more resounding over the planet.
Looking at the huge and obstructive wall in front of him, Yale did not make any unnecessary movements.
All his attacks can be based on a thought in his mind and carried out by external objects.
At this moment, when the thought of "attack" appeared in his mind, the command had already been transmitted to the central processor of the ship-borne elf.
The air trembled slightly, and all the detachable ornaments on his body - necklaces, earrings, brooches, decorative chains, etc., all disassembled and flew up, as fast as streams of light, entwining around Yale and dancing happily.
They quickly reassembled and reassembled in the air, and each sphere reflecting metallic light lit up with red light ready to go.
The high-energy particle beam broke through the mist like a divine punishment, easily penetrating the thick rock layers of the red earth wall.
Immediately afterwards, more and more particle beams focused their fire forward. There was no explosion, no deafening roar, only the subtle hum of matter being directly deconstructed by high-energy particles.
The rubble that escaped the disaster fell into the sea.
The waves were surging, and even standing on the island one could feel the violent force; even the earth was shaking.
Morgans grabbed a piece of unidentified machine on the side of the road to steady himself and swallowed hard.
This is too... In short, he has already figured out which side to take.
It probably took less than a few seconds for the metal balls to stop attacking and return to Yale's clothes as inconspicuous decorations.
Yale stretched, and the decorative chain on his clothes swayed as he pulled.
He commented dully, "It's boring. I thought there was some secret to this wall."
"The trick?" Morgans was a little confused.
What secrets could there be about the Red Earth Continent? Isn’t it just a holy land where the Celestial Dragons live?
"For example, this is your disguised anti-aircraft railgun or something." Yale said as a matter of course.
"Have you never wondered how the Red Earth Continent came about? Why does it happen to circle the planet, and why is it located perpendicular to the doldrums?"
"This..." Morgans had never thought about this question before.
The red soil continent and the doldrums are all naturally existing things. They only need to remember what they are called and there is no need to think about the principles of their formation.
Now that Yale asked this question, Morgans also became curious - how did the Red Earth Continent come about?
Morgans couldn't figure it out and asked Yale out of curiosity.
Yale's answer was also very straightforward.
"How could I possibly know something you don't even know? Do you expect an alien like me to help you restore the civilization you don't even bother to protect?"
…
After destroying a length sufficient to leave the island unobstructed, the island began to move again.
Under the protection of optical invisibility, the huge waves it stirred up were well hidden. Unless someone was standing on the island at that moment, no one could see any clues on the distant ocean.
Standing on the edge of the Sabaody Archipelago, all the people who heard the noise and came here to watch the excitement looked terrified, and people couldn't help but worry that they would dislocate their mouths because they opened their mouths too wide.
“The holy…the holy land…the holy land is gone—?!”
A celestial dragon wearing a white coat and a transparent glass cover on his head looked at the scene in the distance like an idiot, with his uncontrollable snot almost dripping into his mouth.
The Sabaody Archipelago is right in front of the Red Earth Continent.
When the weather is clear and fogless, you can clearly see the wall of the red soil continent when standing on the edge of the island.
It stretches endlessly upwards and to the left and right.
It was like a natural barrier that blocked the normal sea route to and from the New World, forcing everyone to enter and exit the New World only through two methods: applying to pass through the Holy Land or diving into the deep sea.
But now, a huge gap has been opened in the Red Earth Continent.
The broken rocks sank into the sea, and seemed to raise the sea level a little.
After a long time, the Tianlong people, whose minds were full of thoughts like "I just came out to buy a slave, why is my family broken up?" finally came to their senses.
He sniffed hard and screamed angrily, "Who—who did this?!"
The slaves and guards knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, for fear that the Tianlong would take his anger out on them if he couldn't find the murderer.
Fortunately, this incident brought great shock to the Celestial Dragons.
His mind was now filled with the thought of returning to the Holy Land as soon as possible, and he even forgot about the upcoming auction.
Who did this?
That’s indeed a good question.
At the gap where the red earth continent was forcibly destroyed, there was no trace of collapsed and accumulated rubble left.
It was obvious that the mysterious attack just now not only shattered the red soil continent above the sea, but also cleared the underwater part as well.
The gravel sinks to the bottom of the sea without hindrance, so naturally there will be no more gravel piled up on the sea surface.
Not only the Red Hair Pirates' ships hurriedly arrived, but also some other brave and curious pirates.
Everyone was so shocked by the astonishing scene that happened so close that they lost the ability to speak.
There was obvious fanaticism in some people's eyes. In the pirate world where strength is respected, many people are willing to submit to those who are stronger than themselves.
"The fracture is quite neat..." Beckman pondered for a moment before speaking.
The cigarette in his mouth burned quickly, as if only this could calm the battle-hardened first officer.
The two sides of the gap in the red earth continent were smooth as if they had been polished, and the attack from top to bottom did not show any signs of lag or accumulation of power.
To put it in another way, this is equivalent to splitting the red earth continent with just one move.
From then on, the first and second halves of the Grand Line were connected.
Unless you are particularly adventurous, you can enter and exit the new world through this gap without having to use the previous two ways of entry and exit which are either costly and time-consuming or extremely risky.
The strong wind blowing from the New World almost blew people off the boat, and the raindrops it brought were as sharp as knives.
Without the protection of the red earth continent, perhaps the frequent severe climate in the New World will gradually transition to the first half.
Rayleigh took off his glasses, wiped the raindrops off them, and sighed bitterly.
"This is really nonsense..." Even though he had seen all kinds of people on the sea, he still found it difficult to guess what this alien named Yale was trying to do.

"It's nothing, I just don't like it. Don't you think it's fun to ruin a perfect thing?"
On the Future Island, under the leadership of [Upright] Shakya, Yale and Morgans are visiting the various buildings here.
Yale explained Morgans' confusion with an understated answer.
Why not use a near-ground levitation engine to lift the island into the sky and take it away, but instead destroy the red soil continent?
Yale was also confused as to why Morgans asked such a strange question.
His subordinates on the starship never asked.
"I'll do whatever I want. Don't ask such boring questions anymore, okay?"
Although the tone of inquiry was clearly quite polite, Morgans could still hear the unquestionable meaning.
The president, who had lost his devil fruit ability and was now equivalent to a weakling, agreed very quickly. He knew in his heart that Yale was being polite not because he really respected him, but simply because he was in a good mood.
"This is Vegapunk's dump for failed experiments."
Coming to a place where countless technological products were piled up, Shakya calmly reminded: "It is best not to touch anything here, because these things may be dangerous."
But Morgans could no longer hear.
The pen he was using to record the material fell to the ground, but he didn't bother to pick it up. He just stared in shock at the huge robot half lying on the ground surrounded by garbage.
It looked very shabby, not only full of traces of time, but also full of damage caused by battles.
The horn-like decoration on the helmet was broken in half, and a huge sword pierced through the waist, like a warrior who fought to the last moment and fell into a long sleep after completing his mission.
Morgans came to his senses and immediately started taking 360-degree photos.
Shakya was not surprised by his attitude. Anyone who saw this huge robot that seemed to come from the future would be shocked and speechless.
But to his surprise, Yale, who he had expected to be more interested in the giant robot, was actually not interested at all and had no intention of asking any questions.
"What are you thinking about?" Yale looked at Sakya with amusement.
"Why would I be interested in this old piece of junk?"
If this thing could still work and was brand new and intact, he would be happy to collect it.
But this kind of total loss item with rusted parts...tsk tsk, whoever wants it can have it, he doesn't want it.
"…Well, I thought you might be interested."
Shakya felt a little regretful.
They studied the giant robot for a long time but couldn't find a way to restart it.
Maybe Yale could, but he wasn't interested in the robot.
Just as Shakya was thinking about this with regret, he saw Yale suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and he stepped on the air and stood in front of the robot's chest.
From an angle that neither of them could see below, he stared at the robot's extinguished eyes, his golden pupils sparkling.
After a moment, Yale snorted and jumped off the robot in boredom.
"I thought it was something else..." A tiny bit of disposable energy, protected like a treasure.
The author has something to say:
Particle beam attack: a relatively common means of attack in interstellar space.
Particles can only be used as weapons when they are accelerated to the speed of light. They can melt or destroy targets. After hitting the target, secondary magnetic field effects will occur to destroy the target.
Charged particle beam weapons are used within the atmosphere, and neutral particle beam weapons are used outside the atmosphere. Before this, Yale had used charged particle beam attacks.
Metal Ball Terminal: A small terminal controlled by a ship-borne elf, it combines auxiliary, attack, defense, and accessory functions. It is Captain Yale's exclusive weapon and is one of the reasons why the interstellar rumor "Yale has picked up a high-dimensional legacy" is so popular.
Captain Yale seems to have an endless supply of metal ball terminals on his body. In fact, this is true. These terminals are not produced from a production line. Their bodies are actually ship-borne spacecraft that have been reconstructed by molecules.
Theoretically, if there is enough energy, the carrier-based spacecraft can produce an equal number of metal ball terminals.
The energy used by the terminal is the remaining energy of the shipboard spacecraft. When the remaining energy is used up, if Captain Yale does not use other energy to supply it, the terminal will remain in its original state and enter a shutdown and dormant state.
