Chapter 88 Birth [VIP]
A cruel reality is that many people die in shipwrecks every year.
No one can guarantee that he will not die after going out to sea.
Imagining the horrible ending of 'everyone starving to death and becoming skeletons, and the Merry being discovered as a ghost ship', the Straw Hat Pirates shuddered violently.
Luffy rarely showed the majestic posture of a captain, and taught seriously with his hands on his hips.
"I'm not saying anything, but you guys eat too much. Even a captain like me can't stand it!"
"You're not the one who eats the most!"
He was suppressed by a group of rebellious crew members, and he muttered some words of apology with a pig-headed face.
As the navigator on the ship, Nami, after letting out a sigh, still thought of a way to solve the problem responsibly.
There are still reserves of food and fresh water, and they can also go fishing, so they will be fine in the short term.
But if the record pointer does not recover, they may have to rely on luck to determine the direction.
"Where should I go..."
Yale also wondered where they would go.
After the starship took over the reconnaissance scanning mission, he no longer needed to rely on the range scan of the metal ball terminal.
The starship can directly scan the entire planet and generate a very detailed real-time projection for his reference.
At this time, there were indeed no islands in the sea area around the Merry.
It would take them nearly twenty days to reach the nearest island, but their fresh water reserves were obviously not enough to last them twenty days.
Is this going to be death?
Yale feels like a movie with a bad ending, but that's reality.
He wasn't going to care.
Anyway, this game is about to end.
Returning to the starship, Yale reassembled his body on the bridge.
It was not the red-haired, golden-eyed look on the planet, but the look when he first appeared in Windmill Village and was seen by Makino and other villagers.
Wearing a jet-black helmet and light carbon fiber armor.
As an aggregate of group thinking and energy, if you must say, Yale actually has no specific form, but he can manipulate microscopic particles to build an entity for himself.
The core AI reports: "Captain arrives at the bridge."
In an instant, the bridge, which was originally as chaotic as a beehive but also had a secret order, was completely boiling.
"The Captain is back!"
"Have you finished the movie?"
"Are you hungry? We hunted the energy heart of a void beast on the way here!"
Everyone swarmed around and followed Yale, asking him all sorts of random questions.
Yale looked at the guy who asked him if he was hungry and threw a devil fruit to him.
“See if I can plant it.”
The man immediately caught the devil fruit, straightened his back and promised not to let the captain down.
Of course, Yale hasn't given up on growing a devil fruit.
Just because it can’t be grown on that planet doesn’t mean it can’t be grown on the starship.
Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about the rest.
He just needs to urge them from time to time, and then let the crew worry about it.
"Welcome back." Decay did not join in the carnival of welcoming the captain back.
Unlike most of the bionic humans with imported consciousness in the starship, he was a bionic robot born for war from the beginning. Without downloading the emotional plug-in for himself, he would not perform any passionate behavior.
Looking at the approaching captain, Decay went straight to the point.
"What do you think? Is this civilization worth protecting, or should we just destroy it and let it evolve freely into a new civilization?"
"The time hasn't come yet." Yale stopped in front of the projection of the planet.
After synchronization, the number of islands he occupied and their total population, as well as the total population of the remaining islands, are clearly visible.
"Not even close. Give them some more time to develop." He said in a relaxed voice.
"The more prepared they are, the more desperate they will be when their resistance fails in the future. By the way, where's that kid Hongyi?"
"Sent to the moon—has returned."
Decay changed the subject and looked at the person who was running hurriedly onto the bridge with Yale.
The pirates on the moon are so easy to deal with.
They were not a powerful force to begin with, and they decisively surrendered when their escort ship passed by.
Hongyi felt a little regretful that no exchange of fire took place, but they were not without gain.
"We found many more of these little people, all in the underground ruins of the moon."
As he spoke, he picked up the small robot that he had been holding in his hand.
Wearing a steel helmet, carrying a backpack, dirty, and with a triangular beard, after being lifted up, he saluted Yale with a firm look in his eyes.
Yale laughed, turned his gaze away from the little robot, and looked at Redshift, who had changed into a younger body.
"How is it? How does it feel to have a bionic body?"
"That's great. I have endless energy every day." Hongyi immediately let go of his hand and turned around to show off his new body.
The bionic body was exactly the same as when he was young, so he adapted to it quickly without much getting used to.
Yale stared at Hongyi. Although he never said it, he knew that Hongyi had considered ending his life.
To be honest, he didn't quite understand it before, and even thought that carbon-based life forms were a bit pretentious, and liked to think about all kinds of profound and unrealistic problems. But after collecting Sernio's emotions, he probably understood it a little bit.
"Red Shift." Yale said seriously, "I'm glad you chose to stay."
Hongyi, who was spinning in circles, suddenly froze.
"Uh...what, I...uh..."
His whole body looked like it was rusted, and he couldn't lift or lower his arms.
The brain processor overheated, causing the language function to temporarily malfunction.
Soon, a faint explosion sounded in Hongyi's mind.
His brain literally exploded, and smoke was coming out of his head with a choking smell.
The core AI that constantly monitors the crew's vital signs provides calm reminders.
"A malfunction has been detected in the core processor of the crew's redshift. Medical personnel are urgently treating it..."
When Hongyi was taken away by the medical staff who arrived urgently to have a brain transplant, the little robot he picked up stamped its feet anxiously and ran after him.
But soon, his whole body flew backwards until he was caught by Yale.
The little robot struggled hard.
Yale smiled maliciously and let go of him, letting him fall to the ground.
"Let's go to the moon and take a look. Didn't Redshift say there are still many robots like this?"

The relics of any civilization appear extremely shocking after being precipitated and baptized by time.
Even if this civilization has disappeared, all the efforts and sacrifices it made for the continuation of civilization are worthy of commemoration and protection by future generations.
"Captain, the energy transmission system is still working properly." The engineer ran over and said.
"As long as a new energy core is installed, this relic can be awakened."
"Thank you for your hard work." Yale patted the other person's shoulder.
When the engineer was encouraged, he refused: "But forget it, this relic is of no value to us."
"Understood." The engineer accepted the captain's decision without any hesitation.
Yale nodded with satisfaction and walked deeper into the ruins to look at the murals that recorded information.
Decay, who was following not far behind him, said calmly, "What a pity. If their energy wasn't exhausted, they would have been the first beings in this galaxy to step into the starry sky."
"You don't sound very regretful." Yale raised his hand and wiped the dust off the mural in front of him.
"Civilizations are born and die every moment in the universe, so there's nothing to regret... Besides, their descendants are still living well on Blue Planet."
Decay: "But they have forgotten that history and their ancestors."
"Perhaps it is precisely because they forget so quickly that they develop so quickly, but the direction of development has deviated somewhat from the normal track."
Looking at his palms that became clean and tidy again after being burned by the flames, Yale smiled lightly.
"Even without me, they would have gotten on the right path sooner or later."
"It seems you are optimistic about them." Decay said without surprise.
They had seen many civilizations, some of which were not worth preserving, but none of which had taken Yale too long.
Yale shook his head. "It's not a matter of whether it's good or bad. This is just my mission. Do you invest too much emotion in your mission target?"
As a collection of group thinking and energy, Yale certainly did not emerge out of thin air.
In fact, half of the rumors on Starnet are true.
Yale does have the legacy of a higher-dimensional civilization, and he himself is part of that legacy.
Upgrading civilization is not only not an easy task, but it is also likely to fail.
Therefore, before the dimensional upgrade, in order to leave traces of their existence in this universe and to help more emerging civilizations, Yale's 'parents' created the interstellar mothership that Yale and the Eternal Night Pirates now own.
Later, the civilization successfully upgraded its dimension and left the universe, leaving Yale to drive the interstellar mothership and faithfully carry out his mission.
At first, Yale had no specific form. When he found a planetary civilization that needed shelter, he would choose a reliable force or leader and use the technology he knew to help them develop rapidly.
However, this is not a good idea. The natives always worship him as a god after receiving help, and regard technology as a display of divine power by the god.
This was not the outcome he wanted, nor was it the outcome that the civilization that created him wanted.
After some analysis, Yale felt that he needed to learn more about human beings and civilization.
He began to collect all kinds of data and integrate them into his database at an extremely fast speed.
The complex emotions of human beings made him understand many things that he had never understood before - why did they regard me as a god? Because I was too generous and kind. They felt that as long as they worshipped me, I would continue to provide them with new conveniences.
The only thing that can prevent this is fear!
Yale thought: I should make civilization afraid - and thus the Eternal Night Pirates came into being.
