Chapter 325 Two Consciousnesses, a New World, and the Dawn of Dawn
The aging of the body does not mean the death of the soul.
Compared to Im, the only thing Kevin lacks is the ability to be immortal, but he does have a body...
In the prison space, there were constant wailing sounds from the cells in the corridors, but the sounds were confined to the narrow cells.
The values on the platform changed, jumping continuously and then reset to zero again.
until……
"Oh!"
Huge black flames surged out from the platform and headed straight for the passages.
In just a moment, all those whose souls were imprisoned in this war turned into ashes.
"What the mind thinks, the will manifests."
Kevin's soul muttered to himself, and the prison collapsed at this moment.
After returning to reality, Kevin found that his perspective was very strange. Just like last time, he was looking down on the whole world.
At this time, Sengoku, Garp, and Newgate were all silent.
Death is not unfamiliar to the older generation like them, even though the one who died before them... was the man who opened a new era and brought dawn to the world.
Uncle Xiong was in tears, and like Kuzan, he was covered in bruises.
The ability of the Meat-Globe Fruit allowed him to feel comfortable for a while at the last moment, but the price was that the person who received it was seriously injured.
At this moment, the clone that had been standing with Lieutenant General Dor and others before, at the moment of the death of the main body, the shadow clone as the core of consciousness in its body also naturally dissipated.
The body fell to the ground, but no one noticed it except Dragon and the bear.
They knew that it was Kevin's real body that died, and since the real body died, the clone would naturally dissipate as well.
When the clone fell, they knew that the master was really dead.
……
The huge rocks floated away from the red earth continent. This towering land that separated the four seas was now crumbling and falling.
Soon, the commander in charge of the overall liberation of the Four Seas and the Grand Line, as well as the teams previously responsible for various aspects of the war, had arrived at Sky Island.
The rocks floated down to the ground and everyone was silent.
Ginny, the commander of the Confederate Army of the Revolutionary Army, came out.
"He... sir...really...sacrificed?"
The bear lowered its head, not daring to look him in the eye.
In the end, Dorag could only nod his head: "The power of authority allowed the Nine Shadows to form, the Red Earth Continent was torn apart, and the entire world's oceans were connected into one. This is the will of the master."
These words made Ginny lose control of her emotions instantly!
"Bullshit will!"
"That child lost everything when he was one year old. What willpower? He shouldn't have to bear such a heavy burden!"
"What about you? Aren't you the leader of the revolutionary army?"
"And you!"
Ginny pointed at Zhan Guo and said, "Aren't you the Admiral of the Navy? Why don't you take the responsibility? Before the Five Nations Revolution of the Revolutionary Army, you let..."
"Ginny!"
Dragon's voice prevented Ginny from saying the rest of the words.
However, it is obvious that his authority as a leader has always been almost non-existent.
"Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world. Admiral Buddha Sengoku. Leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon... You old guys couldn't bear the responsibility, but you handed it over to a kid who was only fifteen years old nineteen years ago?"
Ginny's body was shaking as she broke down in tears for a moment, and Xiong reached out to support his wife.
He stood up and bowed slightly to apologize to them.
No one said anything, even Whitebeard Newgate kept his head down and remained silent.
Sengoku, Garp and others felt even more upset. They couldn't explain why, but they just felt like they owed something.
Nineteen years ago…
According to the events in the Valley of the Gods, Mr. was only fifteen years old nineteen years ago.
This age facilitated the transformation of the Self-Defense Army into the Revolutionary Army and established the core idea of the Revolutionary Army, which was the key to the Revolutionary Army's development to its current scale.
What were they doing at that time?
Zhan Guo was still a general, but because of what Marshal Kong revealed at that time, he chose to stick to the existing order.
Garp refused to be promoted to admiral and for a time became a lazy justice, no longer choosing to bear the responsibility of naval justice.
Whitebeard Newgate gallops freely on the sea, protecting his adopted sons in the name of the strongest man.
Sakaski implements absolute justice, Kuzan is confused, and Borsalino chooses to play badly while drinking afternoon tea every day.
Even Dorag was confused when he went to Rogue Town.
Just like Ginny's roar just now, this world does not belong to Mr. alone.
But why is it that for the past 19 years, the revolutionary army, the world, the dawn... all of these things have been created with Mr.'s figure throughout?
"Da da da……"
As soon as the hovercraft stopped, Vegapunk ran over with the medical team.
However, the target... is the cyborg Kevin.
Dorag, who knew the inside story, didn't say anything, but Ginny, who reacted, had a hopeful look, but she knew that there was no possibility of resurrecting the dead.
But the next moment...
A man with a spotted hat appeared. Ginny wanted to stand up and speak, but the bear held her tightly in his arms, away from everyone's sight.
"Ginny, what do you want to do?"
"You want him to live! Let me go!"
"It's impossible! Listen to me!"
The bear's stern voice made Ginny freeze.
"That's just your clone. If the original body dies, the clone can't survive. What do you want to say by rushing out now? To force that kid to perform the immortality surgery for you?"
"If that's the case, then God will live forever!"
"This is something that Sir would never want to see."
"The core ideology of the Revolutionary Army is that gods should not exist in this world, not even sir."
"The dawn of the world is coming, and full liberation is about to be completed. Under such circumstances, desires will begin to grow, but Mr. has set an example for everyone by taking himself as an example."
After the words fell, Ginny stopped struggling.
She was not stupid. In fact, if she had not spread the signal during the God Valley incident thirty-three years ago, none of the slaves and indigenous residents of the entire God Valley would have survived.
"I see."
No one in the entire revolutionary army can match your achievements, and no one can compare to your status in the hearts of the people of the world.
But even such a god-like existence could not threaten a small Beihai doctor because of his own life and death.
At this moment, a series of instruments are connected to the artificial body.
"Breathing is normal, electrocardiogram is normal..."
Vegapunk frowned, then waved his hand, and the researchers lifted Kevin's body and quickly walked towards the hovercraft.
Luo, who had rushed over, wanted to get in the car, but was glared back by the researcher.
"Let him come up! The gentleman said that there is nothing wrong with his choice. Anyone can make the same choice now and in the future."
Vegapunk said as he waved his hand and everyone made way: "Now, General Kevin needs medical treatment. He is also a member of the revolution."
Next to the hovercraft, the researcher who was blocking the way moved aside.
Luo took two steps and sat on it, looking at Vegapunk: "Doctor..."
Vegapunk took a deep breath and said, "Sticking to your own choice is sometimes the right thing to do. I don't blame you for that..."
Hearing this, Luo clenched his hands.
Yes, the sir didn't blame him, the doctor didn't blame him either, and the Beihai medical team didn't blame him either. Since the start of the full liberation operation, he had tried his best to awaken, but in the end he still failed.
What made him ashamed was that he actually felt relieved in his heart.
"this……"
Vegapunk exhaled, turned his head and looked straight at Luo.
"I really don't have time to comfort you right now, and this person's injury doesn't require your ability. This is not because I'm dissatisfied with you, but it's related to scientific issues."
"Go down to the sky island in the North Sea. I'm still busy."
"But Trafalgar Law, I hope you can understand that even if you are willing to perform the anti-aging surgery on me, I will definitely not agree."
"If you can figure this out... you will truly understand Mr.'s thoughts."
After the hovercraft arrived at the place allocated to the North Sea, Luo was still thinking hard.
But at this time, Vegapunk had no time to pay attention to him.
……
First Research Institute.
As soon as he entered here, Vegapunk drove out everyone except him.
"When the original body dies, the consciousness of the clone will naturally die."
"But Yimu's ability is immortality. The use of authority does not consume the soul, but the vitality of the body."
"How could a person who, at the age of fifteen, came up with an idea that had never existed in this world before, and who could use his spiritual will to awaken his domineering power and eventually change the world, die like this?!"
"and many more……"
"No, the Soul-Soul Fruit is the ability to grant motionless objects the ability to move. In the Soul-Soul Fruit's ability, damage to the soul means damage to lifespan."
Inside the research institute, Vegapunk hits his head.
The cloud database, which records 90% of the world's cases and similar incidents, was searched, but none of them could solve the current problem.
"Ding……"
The door of the research institute was opened. Vegapunk looked up and was about to get angry, but he found that it was several people who also knew the truth.
Dorag, Bear, Ginny, Ivankov, Belo Betty.
The East China Sea Operation before the Battle of Marineford involved Ginny, so Belo and Betty also knew Kevin's identity.
"PhD."
"PhD?"
"PhD!"
……
The emotions expressed were different, but Vegapunk knew exactly what everyone wanted to ask.
"I do not know either."
"Mr.'s body was reduced to ashes in front of you. That's because his body's energy was used to the extreme."
"When the original body dies, the consciousness that has been controlling the clone will also disappear. But death does not mean that the soul disappears. It is the body that is immortal, not the soul."
"There are even records of the will contained in the animal-type devil fruit replacing the ability user. And one of the conditions for the awakening of the animal-type is that the will of the ability user must be consistent with the first generation awakener."
Dorag frowned upon hearing this.
After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "If the doctor's method is to try his best to find the fruit of Mr.'s ability, and then control it to gradually awaken, and finally be replaced by Mr.'s will..."
"Excuse me, this method runs counter to your original intention."
For a moment, Ginny and the others were silent.
Belo Beti scratched his head, took out a pack of cigarettes and lit it, but he started coughing violently because the injury to his lung had just been sutured.
Xiong looked at Kevin's artificial body: "Although I really want to say that we didn't resurrect Mr., and we only resurrected a navy admiral who had been lurking, but..."
"This goes against the core idea of the Revolutionary Army... and aren't these so-called details what we have always insisted on?"
Vegapunk sat down on the ground.
When he raised his head, his eyes were already bloodshot.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Were you just going to watch your last hope shattered? Everyone was laughing and singing praises to the dawn that this gentleman had exchanged his life for?"
"I can not do it!"
"I'm just a scientist. I don't have the severe mysophobia you have!"
"I can create clones! The technology was already mature before MADS, and the existence of Stussy also proves that as long as the clones have a firm mental will, they can awaken Haki and awaken the ability of the fruit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vegapunk stood up abruptly, turned around and prepared to give orders to the cloud database.
However, at this time, the artificial corpse behind him sat up.
"Old Bei, do you want to be tried in public?"
Kevin's voice startled Vegapunk.
At the same time, Belo Beti's cigarette butt fell to the ground. His eyes, which had not rested since the start of the full liberation operation, could no longer hold back.
Tears... filled up.
"Oh!"
Ginny rushed over like a rocket headbutt, and just like thirty years ago in the Kingdom of Solby, she knocked it to a standstill.
Kevin smiled and patted Ginny: "It's okay, I'm back."
……
Meanwhile, another world.
The land of rain.
Under the dense drizzle, in a puddle of mud and blood, a young man who had stopped breathing stood up.
Kevin shook hands and turned his gaze towards the puddle. The drizzle created ripples in the water, but he could see a familiar face reflected in the puddle.
He looked like this when he was in the Solbe Kingdom in the Pirate World.
Twelve years old.
So this is another world?
Multitasking?
Kevin stood up, and the bodies lying on the ground around him made him understand what world he was in.
"If you don't want to be blown to pieces, I advise you not to go any further."
With the help of his observation skills, he discovered that a paper talisman containing the special energy of this world was hidden under the ninja's body.
If a child wants to come in, he will touch the fuse if he is within two meters.
"Huh? Ninja-sama, I...I mean no harm."
"We are just ordinary people who want to find something useful to exchange for money."
Kevin stood up and brushed off the mud on his body.
Then he suddenly swung his hand and inserted it under the corpse, grabbing the detonating tag, while his arm was covered with armed color domineering.
"boom!"
A violent explosion sounded.
At the same time, the two little ones in front of him were also stunned.
Suicide? But what if only the arm is blown off? Wouldn't that mean that he can't die and will be in great pain?
Yahiko, Konan...Akatsuki...
The breaking dawn?
