[One Piece] Inferior Star

The smooth silver-gray walls made of engineering plastics and synthetic materials are somewhat reflective under the light.Although it has an advanced air purification and ventilation system, this small room still feels stuffy and stuffy.

A blond man in a dirty beige overcoat sat on the only small table in the room, his hands were handcuffed to the table by flashing electronic handcuffs, he could only maintain a slightly forward posture, and couldn't even straighten his waist Come.

Maybe you don't know yet, everyone in this facility is instinctively afraid of the man who is bound in the room, even at this moment, he is facing the death penalty.However, when the officer in charge of the interrogation entered the room, he hesitated visibly.He obviously didn't face this man willingly.

"We all know why you are here, Colonel Turing." The officer said as he sat opposite the man, "However, I, as myself, understand your reasons for doing this."

"Really." The man known as the colonel looked up slightly, and he said, "Stop talking that nonsense, boy. I killed the whole colony, so you judge me and make me sit out of prison, It's as simple as that. So, let's not make things so complicated. Just say, when will the execution be executed?"

"Hey... Colonel." The officer shook his head helplessly, and he said, "If it was someone else, it might be true. Things would be easier. But... you are our hero. The hero of all mankind, We want to know your reasons for doing this. Please tell me, Colonel Turing, why do you want to kill the people in the defenseless colonies?"

"Because they begged me to do that." The colonel looked into the officer's eyes and said word by word, "Have you been told the truth? This...Mr. Ah. But, did you know that the organization you work for has been lying to you?"

"I don't understand what you're saying... Colonel. Do you think you've been caught by MI or—"

"No. It's not me. It's us. You, me, and the colony, all the colonies, Starfall, everyone. We've all been lied to. Did you read the news today?"

"You mean news about the colonies?"

"That's right. What did you see?"

"...It says that a farmer in a remote colony was brutally murdered by a 'killer'."

"Did you see the problem?"

"I don't know……"

"Farmers. Now the media knows to call them 'people'. Now, after they were killed, they finally became 'people' at this moment. It really makes me feel sick." The colonel pulled unhappy He flicked the handcuffs on his wrists, and the handcuffs made a beeping sound, and he was calmed down with an electric shock, "Everyone was deceived, sir. Everyone."

"..." The officer paused, he didn't want to argue with anyone, he came here just to gain insight into the truth, "Then, tell me what is true, Colonel. I am here to listen to what you have to say .”

"I was ordered to go to that colony. I was told by MI that there was word that there was a blacklisted doctor there and I needed to bring him back." The colonel began to outline his mission, "and I arrived there. "

"Then what induced you to kill them?"

"...Before that, I want to ask you a question," said the colonel. "Do you know... why humans call stars 'suns'?"

"Because...that's just a pronoun? Does that have anything to do with our topic?"

"A person of your age must have very little memory of Earth. Have you ever been to Earth?"

"...Earth is no more. Now no one is allowed to approach the galaxy it is in."

"That's right. However, the earliest ancestors, that is, the ancestors of human beings, took the name 'sun' for the stars before they could fly into the sky. Starfall Castle also has a sun, although it is bigger than the earth's sun Several times smaller, but people can still see it. But ah, sir..."

The colonel lowered his voice, and said: "However, the people in the colony can't see the sun. Under the illumination of the red dwarf, they can only rely on the geothermal energy of the shelter to barely obtain the temperature required for survival. However, the red dwarf Even if it only emits a little pitiful heat, it is still their sun."

"They opened their dry eyelids and tried to look up, but they couldn't see anything. What do you say, sir?"

"Because the red dwarf is too dim."

"Yeah. It's a very, very faint star whose light was hard to spot even in the darkest night skies when we were here on Earth. But even so, it's still the colony's star." The 'sun', as long as it is the sun, shines, and when people cannot see the light from the sun, there are only two reasons."

The colonel fixed his eyes on the man opposite, and said, "Number one, they're blind. Two, they're lying."

"What do you mean by all this talk, Colonel?"

"When I asked, they said that they were ordinary citizens in a livable colony. But because of a military plan, they were selected as the advance colonial team. The agreement stated that they would go to a place suitable for survival and full of birds and flowers. places, and will be given sufficient supplies to establish colonies."

"..." For some reason, the officer on the opposite side fell silent.

"What they were looking forward to...was left in that ghostly place. Besides the disastrous climate, there were more terrifying things waiting for them. Their bodies were used as seedbeds and implanted to proliferate The cells, growing extra viscera and limbs, became monsters."

When the colonel said this, he stood up unexpectedly, and the handcuffs on the table were snapped off at some point. He looked at the officer in front of him, took out a gun from his coat, pointed condescendingly at the person opposite and said : "That's why they don't see the sun. Because the extra eyeballs squeezed their eye sockets, and because the pain of internal organs ruptured them into madness."

"Colonel..."

"They heard my name, grabbed me with their extra hands, all hands grabbed my clothes, and said to me: It is you, human, our great hero! Great, you come Save us, then... please kill us!"

"...Colonel." The officer on the opposite side also stood up, and he smiled when he saw the colonel's gun. ...Abandoned son, do you uphold justice?"

"What gave you the illusion that I was a hero of justice?" The colonel narrowed his eyes slightly, and he fired a shot, breaking the opponent's leg. In the screams, he said, " As I said, the organization you work for has deceived you. I am not a hero at all. I am just a villain who will vent his anger at any time."

Another shot, this time, the bullet penetrated the man's head.Brain mixed with blood splashed on the gray-white wall behind, and with a snap, the person also fell down.The colonel put away his gun, and he said, "Now, Matthew, open the door, I can't breathe in this place."

"You're doing unnecessary things again, Colonel." Matthew's voice was a little gloating as always, "MI will be very, very, very angry."

"Fuck them!" The colonel kicked off the chair unhappily, "Let me out quickly!"

"Don't heroes deserve justice? Shouldn't you take him back to MI and take him to court and stand trial?"

"Perhaps. People's society needs order. But... order is not justice, Matthew. You listen." As he walked out of the open door, the colonel said, "Order has meaning, but it can only make you feel Not to be reconciled. And justice is good for nothing - but it can make you happy."

"Why do you have to save him? Do you want to save that pirate so much?"

At this moment, Magellan, the warden of the large prison "Propulsion City", was dancing beside the poisonous dragon. He looked at Luffy lying on the ground, soaked in venom and unable to move, and said: "He has already accepted the trial, and what is about to come is Just execution. You too."

"...Do you feel very happy?"

"Huh?" Who?Why is there a man's voice coming from Straw Hat Kid...?

"Director Magellan. Execution of criminals, does it make you feel happy? In the name of justice, killing..." Matthew said, "Does it make you feel happy?"

"Who are you?" The voice was indeed coming from Luffy, and Magellan said, "It is impossible for the straw hat boy to still be able to speak, and the phone bug... is impossible to survive. What are you..."

"Everything in this world is contrary to what I know." Matthew did not answer Magellan's question. He continued, "It's ridiculous that there are still people who write the word justice on their foreheads. But look When it comes to everything in this prison, I think you 'deserve your name'."

"…………What's the meaning?"

"It's nothing. I just think that what a certain man said makes sense." Matthew replied, "You just asked, why did you save Mr. Ace? Maybe Mr. Luffy has his own reasons, but as for And I... I just..."

"I think your justice is ridiculous."

Who the hell... Magellan walked up to the immobile Luffy, he saw a small ball covered in venom, he picked it up: "Wax...?"

"This is just the last gift left by our escaped friends." Matthew's voice came from it, "That's the end of the chat, Warden... Let me reveal how many secrets the world government has hidden. One, for example, the thing at Level 6, you know, right? Warden?"

"?!! You..." How did you know!That's the secret that even the jailers don't know... the thing that 'belongs to the future' that is hidden in Level 6 and cannot be discovered by 'humans'... Magellan said in surprise, "Are you with the straw hat boy? I will catch Hold on, don't get carried away."

"I don't hate you, Warden Magellan. You are a man of firm belief. Even after listening to me say so much nonsense, you have not wavered at all." Matthew said, "However, I also have a mission. Just with you Same. I don't think we'll see each other again. At least, no more conversations."

"Hey! You! Don't think about that thing! Hey!!"

Magellan realized that the other party would not answer again, and he crushed the ball in his hand.Damn it, why do you know of the existence of that thing... Should it be reported to the Navy Headquarters?But, can anyone really use it?That's the 'ship' that even Vegapunk gave up on.Was that man just now...

——"Hey! Little Matthew! Are you sure the little straw hat won't be killed!"

Mr.2 von Klein said while running: "Can we really leave him?"

"With all due respect, Mr. Von Klein. You ran first, okay?" Luffy will really meet some strange friends... Matthew said, "Anyway, if you want to blame me, just Dump it, I don't care. I told Mr. Luffy in advance... All my plans will be 'rescuing Mr. Ace' as the only goal, so even if he dies, I will not stop."

"Wait, wait a minute! Are you saying that the little straw hat has already--?!"

"It's no wonder he didn't die from so much poison. But... from a long time ago, he was a lucky guy who exploded, maybe..." Matthew said, "Maybe a miracle will happen."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

It begins with Matthew's memory.Regarding the city of advancement, I probably only picked a special place to write about, and everything else is not much different from the original.After all, in this kind of place, Matthew can't give full play to his strength. He can only be lawless in Vegapunk's laboratory (?)

Double update today!Matthew two combos!
