Chapter 46 Control [VIP]
"I didn't expect... that something like this would happen."
Sitting on the sofa in the single ward, Vegapunk looked at Smoker across from him with emotion.
He was really scared by the other person's appearance outside the window.
Fortunately, he did not call for help immediately, otherwise he would not have known the other side of the islands' story from Smoker.
Of course, this does not mean that what Ms. Kaya said is wrong.
It’s just that the other party’s perspective on the islands is different from Smoker’s, so naturally they have different views.
To be honest, Vegapunk had a good impression of the alien, especially since the alien saved him.
At present, his attitude towards Yale is more of curiosity and exploration. He wants to learn more about alien technology from him, and also wants to know the real purpose of his coming to this planet.
As for what Smoker said - because Vegapunk has not left the hospital yet, he does not want to judge too much for the time being.
Science requires a rigorous verification process, and he couldn't just believe what Smoker and Kaya said.
"I understand." Smoker did not force it, but explained his purpose in a more sincere manner.
"I just hope that when you think this enclosed continent is truly a prison, you can lend a hand and help us."
"What are Vegapunk's clones doing now?"
Inside the spaceship, Yale, who was watching Episode 13 of "The Adventures of the Sober Man" through surveillance, asked curiously.
Just as he finished speaking, several other surveillance screens popped up, showing images of Vegapunk's six clones.
When Yale looked over, except for York who was sleeping, the other five clones were busy doing research.
The shipboard spacecraft gave them a lot of inspiration, especially the malfunctioning B-zone reactor.
Edison assured him excitedly that they would definitely repair the spacecraft!
Yale didn't care whether the spaceship could be repaired or not. He had already decided to buy a new spaceship.
If they didn't need the metal terminals to do anything, it wouldn't matter if they just gave the spaceship to them.
But of course I won’t give it to them easily.
They have to exchange something, and Vegapunk's devil fruit ability is pretty good.
He stuffed a piece of seastone into his mouth, lay down comfortably, and turned off the surveillance of "The Adventures of the Sober Man".
After receiving Vegapunk's reply, Smoker left immediately.
They will probably continue to train in Mount Gorpo, looking for other awake people.
For this kind of repetitive plot, Yale prefers to watch it at double speed together.
So in the short term, he didn't plan to pay attention to what was happening on Smoker's side, unless they did something big and it was reported to him by the terminal.
A new screen popped up, showing the to-do list marked by the shipboard elf.
There is a new update for "Adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates".
The Straw Hat Pirates arrive at Drum Island and begin their fateful showdown with the Buggy Pirates.
The Red Hair Pirates have entered the doldrums and are expected to enter the East China Sea in another day.
The terminal is ready for reception and awaiting the captain's next order.
The World Government suspended its war preparations and sent the navy to prioritize capturing the disobedient Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Detailed intelligence has been collected, but the captain has not reviewed it yet.
The new issue of "Happy Daily" has been collected, but the captain has not yet reviewed it.
Occupy the Water City and recruit shipbuilders (lower priority).
Scanning all the current to-do items, Yale's eyes immediately fell on the last Water City.
Indeed, compared to Future Island, the priority of Water City should be lowered.
But after occupying Future Island, Water City can be put on the agenda.
He was quite interested in the sea train.
There are so many strangely shaped islands in the island group, and some of them are put together with a large area of sea water exposed in the middle.
With the sea train, citizens' travel and cargo transportation will be more convenient.
Captain Yale, who was very generous and compassionate to his citizens, thought so and efficiently decided to set off now.
At the same time, the Red Hair Pirates, far away in the doldrums, sailed past a small emerald green island in the distance.
Looking through the telescope, the island seemed to have been abandoned. The ruins of the collapsed buildings were covered by tenaciously growing vegetation, and there was no one in sight.
However, the Red Hair Pirates knew that there were actually two people living on this island.
One is the king of the destroyed kingdom on this small island, and the other... is a crew member of the Red Hair Pirates and Shanks' adopted daughter - Uta.
No one knew that Shanks had an adopted daughter, and no one knew that Shanks' adopted daughter lived in such a place.
But this is the reality. No matter what the truth was at that time, the Red Hair Pirates abandoned a child who was only 9 years old at the time on such a ruined island for 11 years.
Taking a deep breath of the cool night air, Shanks turned his gaze back and spoke in a calm voice.
"When we leave Donghai again, we'll take Uta and Mr. Gordon with us."
This doldrums is too close to the East China Sea and could easily become another lost island in Yale's hands.
The crew members had no objection. On major issues, they would unconditionally obey the captain's orders.
What's more, most people on the ship had taken care of Uta and treated her as their own daughter.
The ship increased its speed and continued to sail towards the East China Sea.
Above the ship, a metal ball with optical stealth activated received the command to 'proceed with the mission as usual'. It only left a coordinate location on the island and continued to follow the ship in front.
…
The incredible thing is that when Uta woke up, he found that the scenery around the island had changed.
In the past, when she stood on the heights of this collapsed building, she always looked out upon the calm, mirror-like blue sea. But today, she saw… uh, another island?!
Is it an illusion?
She rubbed her eyes hard and pinched the flesh on her arm, feeling the real pain.
However, the illusion before my eyes still did not disappear. The island still existed, and there seemed to be many figures approaching here in the city on the island.
Uta could no longer pretend not to see it.
She shrieked and ran toward the house, shouting, "Mr. Gordon! Mr. Gordon—!"
The same thing happened on the island opposite the Music Island.
When the residents of the Water City woke up and went out to work, they suddenly found that an island had appeared very close to their home.
The island is lush and green, but the ruins of buildings dotted among the greenery give it an ominous feeling.
Some people are panicking, and naturally some people are curious.
Finally, under the leadership of Aspagu, the mayor of Water City, a huge crowd set out towards the border of the island.
There was constant discussion among the crowd. Some speculated that the island had fallen from the sky, while others speculated that it had been blown here by extreme weather.
But these voices were only a minority, and most people immediately thought of the East China Sea devil.
Some newspapers said that the disappeared islands eventually ended up in his stomach, and he was a legendary island-eating weirdo.
"Quiet!" Aspago shouted.
If he didn't stop it, the people behind him might guess something even more outrageous.
Everyone fell silent quickly, not only because they loved the mayor, but also because two people with completely different styles walked over from the island opposite.
The girl was very young, with long red and white hair, tied up and hanging behind her head like two rabbit ears.
Following her was an elderly bald man, probably her grandfather or something.
The two men's vigilant and guarded eyes made Aspagu feel relieved.
It is normal to be vigilant after something like this happens. If you remain calm, he will start to suspect that they have bad intentions.
"Hello, I am Aspagu, the mayor of Water City."
Although the secretary tried to stop him, Aspagu went forward alone, trying to show their friendliness and civility.
Uta was a little nervous. She hadn't spoken to anyone other than Gordon for a long time.
"Hello, my name is Uta, and this is Mr. Gordon." She said politely, "Do you know what happened? Why did our islands... collide with each other?"
“We can’t be sure about this either…”
Aspagu shook his head, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the city-wide radio of Water City.
"Congratulations, the lucky ones who have been chosen! You have the honor of becoming new citizens of me—your respected Captain Yale!"
"Come, come to the station and line up to receive your citizen ID cards. From today on, you and your descendants will live under equality and order!"
After he finished speaking passionately, a "hahaha" laugh was heard from the radio, making his words seem even more unreliable.
Equality and order—as if this weren't some heavy promise, but just a light joke.
Aspagu frowned. He thought that having the island occupied by Yale was bad enough, but he didn't expect that worse was yet to come.
I saw that a large number of people who listened to the broadcast showed enthusiastic and happy smiles. Not only were they not afraid at all, but they rushed towards the station excitedly, as if they were afraid that they would miss the chance if they were too late.
"This... Mr. Gordon? Mr. Gordon?!"
While Uta was still wondering why those people suddenly left, she suddenly saw Gordon beside her also walking forward.
She immediately reached out and grabbed the other person, and fortunately the other person did not resist.
Gordon stopped and looked at Uta gently as usual, and the sunglasses in front of him reflected Uta's nervous face.
"Don't worry, Uta, it's okay," he comforted her.
"It was the respected Captain Yale who came to save us. We just need to do what he said."
"But we don't even know any Captain Yale—" Uta emphasized in disbelief.
"Mr. Gordon, you can't..."
"Uta!" Gordon's voice sank and his expression became serious.
"We must be respectful. We can't live alone on a deserted island forever. Captain Yale can help us restore the island and find all the bodies buried under the rubble."
