Chapter 44 Ke Ya [VIP]
The horrific scenes that took place in the Sejeong Building are still vivid in my mind.
Vegapunk woke up from his coma, and what he saw was not five hideous monsters, but the pure white background of a hospital.
He was placed in a separate ward, and when he stood up suddenly he startled the nurse who was taking notes next to him.
"Ah! You're awake, Mr. Vegapunk." The blond young nurse smiled in surprise.
As she pressed the call bell, she asked with concern, "Do you feel any discomfort? Do you have a headache?"
"No...it's okay. Where is this?" Vegapunk calmed down and looked around curiously and cautiously.
There were fruits and flowers on the table next to me. I don’t know who sent them, but they looked very fresh.
The blonde nurse explained, "This is the Goya City Hospital. Before you woke up, six people claiming to be your clones came to see you."
"Goa City...Goa Kingdom?"
Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief. If he remembered correctly, the Kingdom of Goa was one of the first islands in the East China Sea to fall.
It seems that he did escape the killing move of the Five Elders.
Vegapunk's mind became more and more active, and he learned more during the doctor's examination.
In fact, he was sent here three days ago.
In other words, he was in a coma for three days.
Before that, he was acting as a mouthpiece for Yale and communicating with the Five Elders.
The Five Elders hope to live in peace with Yale in exchange for the East China Sea and countless wealth.
Of course, Yale couldn't agree. He was already rich enough and the only thing he wanted now was to rule the planet.
It is impossible for the Five Elders to give up their positions so easily.
The breakdown of the negotiations was inevitable, and it became inevitable to get rid of him, the mouthpiece who knew a lot.
Fortunately, when the Scientific Defense God of War Satan glared at him and activated his ability, the metal ball arrived in time and erected a defensive shield in front of him.
Vegapunk had no recollection of what happened after that.
He seemed to be hit by something on the back, and then he flew out of the window and flew towards the East China Sea at high speed.
This is also the reason why he was in a coma for so many days.
In fact, he was not injured at all, but he fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen while flying in the air.
But none of this matters. For Vegapunk, lack of oxygen will not cause brain damage.
After all, his brain already existed on its own and did not need the oxygen it provided.
What he cared more about was actually the shield extended by the ball of light.
The technology used in that shield was definitely an energy field that he had only imagined but had not actually studied.
"Mr. Vegapunk, where are you going after getting out of bed?"
Under the stern gaze of the nurse, Vegapunk, who was about to sneak away, lay back on the bed awkwardly.
"Ms. Keya, when can I be discharged from the hospital?"
Vegapunk really wanted to go out and see what happened to the islands that had "disappeared" in the ocean. He also wanted to go back to Future Island to see his clone and researchers.
Of course, what he wanted to do more was to share with them what he had seen of the shield and conduct new research together - if possible.
The blonde trainee nurse Kaya said in an unquestionable tone.
"You can't be discharged tomorrow at the earliest—you'd better not get your hopes up. Our head nurse is terrifying."
"Sigh..." Vegapunk sighed softly. He could only suppress his anxious mood and divert his attention to other places.
"Miss Keya, if you're not busy, could you tell me about those disappeared islands?"
Ke Ya was stunned for a moment, looked at the watch on her wrist, and agreed readily.
"Okay, I'll go get your lunch first."
*
If it comes to the story of the entire island group, Nakaya can't tell it clearly.
But if you look at it from her own perspective, there is a lot to say.
Ke Ya lives in Xiluobu Village in Donghai and is a young lady from a wealthy family.
She has been sickly since childhood, but fortunately her friend Usopp often sits on the big tree outside her bedroom window and tells her many interesting stories to make her happy.
Later, her parents died, and the butler Crow, who had been helped by her family, turned into Crow, the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, who wanted to take over her family's property.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Usopp, Luffy, Nami and Zoro stepped forward, defeated Kuro and destroyed the opponent's conspiracy.
After that, Usopp, Luffy and the others went out to sea.
Kaya aspires to become a doctor and treat Usopp's wounds when he returns.
But just as she was working towards this goal, Captain Yale arrived.
He took the village of Silobu as he had done elsewhere, connecting it to the other islands.
Due to the shortage of teachers and the small population of Xiluobu Village, it was not worthwhile to build a school specifically for it in the early days.
Therefore, children in Xiluobu Village need to take the school bus to go to school in the neighboring Goya City.
It was a big city, at least big for Xiluobu Village.
The three children from the Usopp Pirates that Kaya knew - Pepper Head, Carrot Head, and Onion Head - are currently studying in a comprehensive school in Goa City.
Although they often complained about the heavy homework assigned by school, Kaya could see that they were still very happy to play with the children from other islands.
Ke Ya also has to go to a full-time school, but unlike the young Qing Pepper and the others, she is already 17 years old. According to the regulations, she will graduate in another year.
As a young lady from a wealthy family, she received much more education than her peers since childhood, and it would be a waste of time to start from the basics with them.
After the metal ball scan, her new job was to intern directly at the Municipal Hospital in Goa.
Keya cherishes this opportunity very much. Although what she does most at this stage is recording and observing, she believes that if she continues to study hard, she will definitely become a qualified doctor in the future.
After listening to Kaya's story, Vegapunk felt an indescribable complexity in his mood.
When the outside world suspected that everyone on the disappeared island had met with an accident, no one would have thought that these disappeared people actually lived a better life than the outside world.
In just a few months...how did he do all this?
Vegapunk wanted to go out more and more, but he didn't find a chance to sneak out until Kaya got off work.
After saying goodbye to her colleagues on night shift, Keya left the hospital and stood on the busy street.
This is the central street of Goa City, bustling, prosperous, clean and tidy.
Pedestrians are coming and going on both sides of the wide road. In the middle is a bicycle lane for bicycles, and in the middle is a bus lane that connects all the streets in the city.
As one of the first islands occupied by Captain Yale, the Kingdom of Goa was the first to develop because it was already relatively prosperous.
People ride bicycles back and forth. Those who need to walk a long way like Keya can take public transportation. Although it is a long way, it is also nice to see the ever-changing scenery along the way.
After waiting at the station for a while, the bus that Kaya was waiting for, which was heading to the border of Goa City, stopped in front of the station.
She walked up, put in a 10-bailey coin, found a seat and sat down.
Although the housekeeper Meli suggested many times that they could rent or buy a house in Goa City, Kaya still preferred to return to her home in Xiluobu City.
Looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the car window, Ke Ya couldn't help but smile.
That shipyard has been sold. I wonder what new store will open there.
Ah, Norton’s Dessert Shop! She forgot to check out the new products… She must go there tomorrow!
The school bus returned to school. It seemed that Carrot Head and his friends had arrived home safely.
Every time she sees the changes happening outside, she feels that this city is so vibrant.
I heard that when Goa City was still the Goa Kingdom, it was surrounded by a circle of towering walls to separate the citizens from the homeless.
She couldn't imagine what that scene was like, but fortunately, everything was getting better now...
Gradually, the smile on Ke Ya's face disappeared and her eyes became dim.
She looked down at her fingers, worried about whether something had happened to Usopp and Luffy.
It would be better if the Shih Hsin Daily newspaper could mention more about what’s happening outside…
Gradually, her relaxed fingers clenched tightly as she made up her mind.
She heard that the headquarters of the World Economic News was in Zhenshou City. During her vacation, she could take Luobutou and the others to visit the wildlife park in Zhenshou City, and then go directly to the headquarters of the World Economic News to give her opinions.
All the letters I wrote before fell into oblivion.
If she goes there in person, she should be able to get an accurate answer.
Thinking this, Kaya arrived at her destination.
The bus stopped at the last stop, Windmill Station, at the border of Goia City. The doors opened and the remaining passengers got off one after another.
Keya was the last one to get off the bus.
She didn't rush to cross the border, but went to the pub next to the station first.
The tavern is quite lively. Merchants traveling to and from the border like to rest here for a while, have a few drinks, and discuss what happened in the distant city.
The boss, Makino, was busy behind the bar.
There were two newly hired waiters, one male and one female. One was busy cleaning up after the guests left, and the other was serving drinks to guests at other tables.
"Miss Makino, this is for you. Yesterday you said your shoulder was uncomfortable. You can try this ointment."
Keya raised her voice and placed a jar of ointment on the bar.
Makino was stunned for a moment, then picked up the bottle of medicine with great emotion.
"Thank you, Miss Kaya. I didn't expect you to remember... How much is this?"
"It's okay. It's a thank you gift from before. If Miss Makino hadn't seen me, I would have fainted on the ground."
Kaya had cherished the hard-earned learning opportunity too much and exerted too much force. If Makino, who came out to collect towels, had not noticed her discomfort and helped her into the tavern, she would have fainted and fallen to the ground.
"Sorry to bother you. Just continue with your work. I'll come see you next time I have a holiday." Ke Ya didn't want to stay here for long.
First, he was not used to the noisy atmosphere in the bar, and second, he did not want to waste the boss's time.
Makino didn't stay long, and in just a short while, she received three more orders for fried rice.
But at this moment, she suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Miss Kaya, is Mr. Vegapunk awake?"
Ke Ya nodded and smiled, "He woke up today. I thought such a brilliant scientist like him would be difficult to approach, but I didn't expect him to be such a fun person."
After watching Kaya leave, Makino turned and went into the kitchen.
Should I hire another chef? She couldn't help but think so as she looked at the bowls piled in the sink.
The author has something to say:
Captain Yale of the Eternal Night Pirates has a hobby of collecting, and his collection of things is very strange.
He enjoys collecting the emotional data of various intelligent creatures; he likes to collect different styles of clothing, minerals, records, energy crystals, and ship-borne spacecraft; he likes to collect skins, voice packs, and various plug-ins for different types of AI elves; he likes to collect the biological skins he has generated on various planets, simulating the local intelligent creatures; he likes to collect intelligent robots produced by different civilizations, and most of his crew members come from them...
Because of his collecting habit and casual personality, the main brain of the Eternal Night Pirates' starship is always filled with a mess of things.
Fortunately, most of the crew members of the pirate group, including the deputy captain, are bionic humans with super computing power. They will remember the contents of every file named with garbled characters and ensure that they perfectly ignore them when working, and avoid deleting them when cleaning the main brain.
