One Piece: Caesar Curran's Fantastic Beasts Study

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Gaji. Now can we know why Mr. Pangabek called us here? Can we meet him?" Although Caesar has guessed something, he can't say it clearly for the time being, so he can only think secretly. How to deal with it? Why is he unwilling to take the initiative to reveal his identity? How to reveal the other person's identity without making the other person suspicious.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Pangabek is not here for the time being because of an important research. How long it will take to come back is unknown. And you are Pangabek's chosen assistants, your Devil Fruit, That's what Mr. Bomgarbeck gave it to you."

"Your Devil Fruit" was harsh to Caesar's ears. It was because of the scalpel that he learned that the transfer of Devil Fruit abilities caused by Locks' Dark Fruit was reversible. Caesar originally thought that this was the only He knows a secret that even Rocks doesn't know very well, but now it seems that Pangabek has done very in-depth research on devil fruits.

In addition, it is not ruled out that it was just a slip of the tongue. After all, there was no need for Pangabek to make any riddles to himself.

And even if you don't know that Caesar's Devil Fruit ability can be restored, but you just know that his fruit ability was transferred from Monet by Rocks, the statement "your Devil Fruit" is not wrong.

"For now, just wait here until Mr. Pangabek comes back. I will take you to your residence."

After all, Pangabek didn't give the two children a chance to refuse.

Caesar only felt that something was wrong. It was clear that Pangabek was probably the one in front of him, but he still had to wait for him to "come back", fearing that he would be imprisoned forever.

However, Caesar couldn't tell.

Not to mention that he couldn't find a suitable way to expose Pangabek's unpretentious acting skills. Even if he forced himself to expose it, it would probably only make Pangabek, who is currently mild-mannered and uses deception to achieve his goals, directly use tough methods. .

Let's take a step by step.

Caesar wouldn't be too dissatisfied with this kind of house arrest. After all, this is how he spent his three years in high school, and this time would definitely not last long. At least in the future that Caesar knew, Pangabek and Caesar were not kidnappers. Set together.

It's tragic to say that maybe it's because Caesar recalled the events of his three years in high school. At this moment, Caesar's mission after being placed under house arrest was actually to study.

"Now even if Mr. Pangabek comes back, you won't be able to serve as his assistant. In the original plan, you still have to study hard, so don't be afraid. It's just a change of environment. Learn more. .”

Gaji's words made Monet relax a little, but Caesar was still wary. After so much, Caesar didn't think that Pangabek was just a scholar who immersed himself in learning and a scientist who was addicted to research.

What he wants to teach is most likely a trap for Caesar, the demonic remnant who may actually be his research material.

However, Caesar's conjecture was soon overturned, because Pangabek seemed to be really busy, and there was no teacher to teach him, and it was completely self-study.

Of course, there will be no help. Pangabek (Gaji) gave each of them a "learning machine" that looked like a tablet computer. The symbol behind it was not the bitten apple, but the symbol of It depicts the four seas where the 170 participating countries of the World Government are located and the five circles and one cross of the Grand Line, with "WORLDGOVT" written unabashedly below it.

Caesar just took it in his hand, flipped it over casually, and felt shocked.

The first is this familiar machine, because after Caesar arrived in this world, his living conditions were so primitive in every sense that he forgot that the world of One Piece was in a sense more technologically advanced than the world he was originally in. When he saw this thing, he was a little confused like Monet.

Just like getting a new mobile phone or adding new instruments to the laboratory, Caesar quickly got started and thoroughly figured out how to use it. Compared with the various fancy apps in his previous life, and the instructions were all in English. As an experimental instrument, this "point reading machine" is really simple in use, even a bit too simple.

The huge screen has no fancy wallpapers, no notification bar that pops up with unnecessary messages from time to time, no time display, no battery display, only a pure black background, and two completely black screens that if not present, one would think it is not powered on. Consistent white square icon.

One says "BASE" and the other says "INDEX".

When the former is opened, it is a basic course from scratch, including various languages, mathematics, computers, biology, chemistry, physics and other subjects that Caesar has learned, as well as cooking, music, art, etc. that Caesar does not think Pangabek will understand. suject.

There is even history among these subjects!

Caesar suppressed his curiosity and did not open it. He could not be sure whether Pangabek was testing him or for another reason.

It's impossible for him to be so open-minded that he has no desires or desires.

Just looking at some basic courses, Caesar already had a different feeling, but this feeling was not profound. He couldn't explain why for a while, so he quickly reviewed mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, and determined this After the world looked basically the same as the one Caesar knew, Caesar clicked on another icon.

"INDEX", as the name suggests, is a search engine.

After clicking on it, he was a little disappointed that the familiar keyboard did not pop up immediately, but then he discovered that not only was there no input method, he could just start searching directly by writing in the search box just like writing on paper.

"D" was a letter he wrote casually when he was looking for the function of the learning machine. He really didn't think too much when he wrote it. It's just that because he likes One Piece, he also has a soft spot for this letter, so he wrote it casually. Just come out.

The hairs all over Caesar's body stood on end. He had been playing with this thing without realizing it before, but now he could clearly feel that the old man standing behind him had been staring at his screen.

There is nothing wrong with the search results.

Except for that "D" in the search bar.

Pangabek was unmoved by the "D", not because he didn't know what it stood for.

But because he knows too much, he doesn't think there's anything special about it.

Compared to the fact that the secret of "D" was leaked, Pangabek felt that the current frightening state of his experimental materials was even more troublesome.

So he simply wanted to change the subject, and secretly told Caesar that he would not pursue such a trivial matter.

After all, Pangabek originally felt that there was no need to hide such a small matter, but telling Caesar the truth would speed up his experiment and make it unsatisfactory. After all, there was no telling when the next such precious material would be found.

"It's so smart to become so skilled so quickly."

Caesar suddenly stiffened.

He felt that not only had he revealed that he was exploring the secrets of "D", but because he was too proficient in operating electronic equipment, even the fact that he was a time traveler was exposed to Pangabek's eyes.

"Yes, I feel that I like this thing very much, I like what I have to do very much, and I will definitely become a good assistant to Mr. Pangabek." In the past, Caesar's attempts to cover up the situation were at best superficial panic, but basically he was quite confident in his heart. , and this time, he was really panicked.

Whether it was Orbia, Rocks, Arrogance, Skirmisher, or Garp that I met before, they were all easily blinded by their emotions.

But Pangabek is different. Caesar feels that any clues in his eyes will not be easily ignored with various baseless excuses, but will be firmly grasped by him and become a node leading to the right path.

"Okay, then you will be responsible for teaching her. It will take about five years. It will be enough for you to learn all the basics here. But it would be better if you can learn more by yourself." Pangabek is just not good at talking and doesn't want to The pleasantries continued.

"Yes, yes." And Caesar found that he couldn't figure out what was hidden in his words.

"Five years? Mr. Gaji? Then we can't go back?" Monet always felt that this outing was like the last time he went to Rogge Town. He went back after a few days and didn't even realize what was going on. Son, it wasn't until Pangabek said it had been five years that he became a little anxious.

"Is there any problem?" Pangabek frowned impatiently. To Pangabek, Monet was just a quick talk at the time and was purely a foil to Caesar. If she and Caesar hadn't been killed by Locke because of their fruit abilities. Si forced them together, and he would definitely ignore this ignorant little girl.

Monet was frightened, but he would not cry because of it. Instead, he continued to ask timidly and tremblingly: "Then Carly Farucci and I will never be able to meet each other?"

Pangabek said five years, but Monet asked forever. He didn't know if Monet did it on purpose, but both Caesar and Pangabek could hear the little girl's poorly concealed worry.

"No, five years later..." Caesar explained quickly, but was interrupted by a cold voice.

"Yes."

Caesar suddenly felt that this old man was no longer the absolutely rational guy that left him helpless, but it was only for a moment.

"If you can't get rid of those distracting thoughts and study these courses seriously, then you won't be qualified to be Mr. Pangabek's assistant for the rest of your life, let alone five years, let alone meet your companions."

Caesar felt that he was hiding something, but there was obviously nothing that he needed to hide, which made him even more confused and felt that he was keeping secrets.

"Yes, I understand." Monet, whose eyes were already a little red and swollen, refused to cry and bowed "yes" seriously.

Pangabek left like this, and the gentle look of that woman flashed through his mind for the last time, with no sadness, no joy, no regrets.
