The temperature in the history storage room is extremely low, it can even be said to be a cold storage room, and the light is relatively dark, giving people a dark and scary feeling.
Fortunately, Im didn't feel any discomfort at all.
These historical texts evoked thoughts about Joey Boy, so he was not in a hurry to leave. The tennis games these days had greatly alleviated his psychological depression, so he was in a happy mood.
If it was the predecessor 'Im', he would naturally think that Joeyboy was dead and would no longer cause serious trouble to himself and the World Government.
But he is different. He knows very well that Joeyboy is probably not dead!
I saw Im slowly walking to another compartment, where some extremely important historical relics were stored, such as the huge straw hat in the ice cellar in front of me.
This is the straw hat that Joey Boy wore on his head back then.
"Put your will in Nika, oh no, the rubber fruit, and use the reincarnation mechanism of the devil fruit to achieve another form of immortality. Is it really possible for you, big man..."
Im smiled happily as he recalled the past hundreds of years ago. His predecessor would probably be very angry.
Devil fruits are eaten by people and become parasitic in people's bodies. After people die, they turn into information flow and return to nature, looking for suitable fruits to reappear. In this process, there must be some kind of consciousness with certain intelligence. This is according to the original timeline.
Vegapunk and others in the future have already discovered it and used it.
Especially the animal-type Devil Fruit is the most obvious. The fruit itself has an existence similar to the beast soul, so Joeyboy, as the rubber fruit awakener, can completely replace or store consciousness.
People in this world have souls, this is very clear.
But presumably not everyone has the ability to store their souls in Devil Fruits.
Therefore, Im thought of Haki!
As the strongest person in the world, he also has the deepest understanding of Haki. Haki can carry and receive information.
Even if you don't understand the meaning of the text written with Armed Color Haki, as long as you have the corresponding knowledge and knowledge, you can perceive what the writer wants to express.
This is what is called listening to the voice of all things!
However, he could understand the words in the historical text. After all, he was a person of that era.
Haki that can carry and receive information, coupled with a strong enough soul and the awakening of devil fruit abilities, these three conditions should be indispensable.
"People who eat the rubber fruit will have the unique physique of the Lunaria tribe, a rubber-like elastic insulator and the ability to make fire. They will also be parasitized by Joeyboy. When the esper awakens, it will be his awakening.
When..." Im said his guess based on the memory of his previous life.
In other words, this can no longer be regarded as speculation, it should be called solid evidence.
"Although the 'predecessor' didn't know this, he knew that the rubber fruit was Joey Boy's ability, so after finding the future, he sent CP9 headed by Foz Fu to escort him back, but Shanks snatched him...
..."
Im stood there for a long time, staring at the huge straw hat in the ice cellar, and fell into deep thinking, because these things were very important.
He was thinking about what to do with this Shanks.
First of all, he must be a descendant of the Celestial Dragons, otherwise there would be no way he could sit on the sofa in the Hall of Power and hold talks with the Five Old Stars.
"This kid is probably like Doflamingo, and he has become a messenger under 'me'."
"But this guy is quite good at acting. After all, he snatched the rubber fruit directly from Roger, who raised him and taught him well, because he felt that his identity as a Celestial Dragon and his own strength were enough to deal with the revenge of the world government."
"He succeeded. Mihawk who was sent over had a big fight with him. There was no winner or loser. Instead, he became close friends. It's like we don't know each other without fighting, hehehe~"
Having said this, a sneer appeared on Im's lips.
"The future Five Old Stars or 'I' see that Shanks has matured, and continue to maintain contact with him as a Celestial Dragon, hoping to adjust the situation and balance of the world through him."
"But the problem is, what I want now is not to maintain balance. The so-called Pirate Emperor must be dealt with. Use it if you can, and keep it if you can't!"
As a result, Shanks' value to the World Government is not that great. He is just a descendant of the opposition with the blood of the Celestial Dragon.
"This little guy Shanks must be brought back. Since he is a Celestial Dragon, of course he must come back according to the house order I issued!"
As for killing him, it is impossible. The privileges and status of the Celestial Dragon must be maintained. The Celestial Dragon can only die at the end of his life and must not be killed by others, unless the person who does it is himself.
The king of the Celestial Dragons grants the Celestial Dragons death, and it is natural that this is Im’s position!
"I remember that Shanks is just fifteen years old this year, and he must be in the East China Sea. This will be easy to handle. By the way, let CP1 catch that kid Bucky as well!"
Im immediately thought of the powerful Bucky bomb in the future. In his opinion, Bucky should continue to study this area, and perhaps form a partner with Carter Frame in the future.
Ten minutes later, he contacted the blond five-old star through the phone bug and gave him a series of orders. Because the content was a bit too much, the latter nodded repeatedly while listening on the other side.
"By the way, from now on, CIPHER POL will cancel the rule that if you fail a mission, you will be sent to jail. If you fail a mission, you will be punished and demoted depending on the situation!"
Im feels that this situation with Fozzie Fu must be put to an end. Who knows how many talents have been lost because of this kind of thing.
Besides, how much time and resources it takes to cultivate an excellent CP personnel, as long as there is no malicious betrayal, it should not be forced to death.
"Uh, yes, yes, I understand, don't worry, I will definitely change it!" The blond five-old star did not dare to ask anything, so he could only agree, although there were already many question marks in his heart.
"The historical text of the Alabasta Burial Hall, Shanks of the East China Sea, Bucky..." After the call ended, he put the phone back, and the blond five-old star's face was full of surprise.
"Shanks, the former crew member of the Roger Pirates, is actually a descendant of the Celestial Dragons of the Regel family and a survivor of the Valley of Gods incident?"
"If that's the case, then you really need to 'invite' him back, otherwise it will be troublesome to become Doflamingo again. But why did you invite this Bucky back and send him to the science force for training..."
Im returned to the surface, and because it was already late at night, he returned to Tsukima's tree house. Gion and Stusi stayed in the room vacated by the maids, and continued to play tennis with him when daylight came.
"Should I tell the Five Old Stars about the Star Gate? Although it has been decided to start researching the first world after this World Conference, it is better to tell it in advance. The first batch of dispatched personnel also needs time to be screened.
"
Lying on the large golden-red double bed, Im looked at the star map of the universe that appeared in front of him and pondered.
"It seems that I need to think about my wording carefully. How do I explain this thing so that it sounds reasonable? It's a bit difficult..."
"They say it's easy to deceive people, but I'm too pure, innocent, and kind. I really can't think of any lies to deceive people. Hey, what should I do?"
