One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 983 The Cause of Destruction

"What's the calculation?"

Lily frowned as she looked at Quinn and said, because Lily didn't quite believe what he said. Although Eve didn't lie, the other party also said that it was something in the memory and it didn't mean it was real. Modifying memory is not so difficult to achieve in the pirate world, let alone Vegapunk who has mastered extremely powerful technology.

Eve's words sounded too much like someone trying to make amends for herself, as if she was forcibly whitewashing someone. This routine made Lily deeply suspicious. Could Vegapunk also be the target audience of those novels?
"No, big sister, we have been overlooking a very important issue. According to Jin and Dai, they have been captured in that laboratory for many years, maybe even ten years. Before that, people from his parents' generation were constantly captured. But how many years has Vegapunk been a member of the World Government? Even if the World Government trusted Vegapunk from the beginning and put him in charge of this project, the time doesn't match!"

"Besides, you should know that the World Government will not entrust a major task to one person. Even if one person can handle it, they will find a way to create a sense of mutual restraint, let alone this matter. So I suspect that although what she said cannot be said to be completely true, it is a little right, that is, Vegapunk is indeed not the initiator of the Lunaria experiment."

Quinn snapped his fingers and said, and after Lily thought about it along Quinn's line of thought, she suddenly realized that Quinn was right. The most important thing that she and others had never considered was the issue of time. They had preconceived the idea of ​​​​putting the blame on Vegapunk. Of course, as Quinn said, Vegapunk must have been involved in this matter, but he was definitely not the initiator.

This incident also solved a knot in Quinn's heart, which was that Vegapunk should not have fallen so quickly. Quinn did not doubt that Vegapunk had driven himself crazy after a long period of research, and then resorted to some things that were against human ethics, or contrary to their principles at the time, but it should not have been so fast, it should not have been so quick. The person whom Quinn regarded as a goal to imitate and surpass should not have been so impatient even if he had to bend down.

And now, I finally figured out the key. Although that bastard bowed his head in the end, he didn't kneel down. At least he retained a trace of dignity for his past.

"Indeed, you are right. We have always ignored this matter. We always think that the other party will be the same as us, with many positions being carried out by one person. However, the World Government is different. They have more resources than us, so they can devote a lot of manpower and material resources to the same position without worrying about losses."

Lily held her chin with her right hand, leaned back in her chair and said that they were indeed trapped in a misconception of thinking. In fact, the main reason why Jin was so determined to conduct experiments on them was that he had seen Vegapunk, or had seen Vegapunk's big head, but this did not mean that Vegapunk was the person in charge. Even if they thought about it more deeply, this might be the plan of the World Government. It only took a simple guidance and a few pieces of one-way glass to achieve this effect, which was easy for Jin, a young boy who was swallowed by hatred and pain at the time.

"Besides that, there is another question, which is why did Vegapunk ask you to come to us?"

Lily looked at Eve again. At this moment, Eve had transformed into the form of a big sister and a noble lady. The youngest and second oldest sisters were frightened and could only let her, the big sister, complete the conversation.

"Regarding this, it is actually because Vegapunk can no longer find the right person. In Vegapunk's opinion, there are only so many people he can find, and among them, only you are truly determined and capable of confronting the World Government, and it is also the easiest to find you."

The eldest sister Eve didn't feel strange at all because Lily suddenly changed the subject, and spoke very smoothly.

"What about the Revolutionary Army? What about the Navy? Let's not talk about the former for now, but as for the latter, if they knew about your situation, they would probably come running here in a hurry, right?"

Lily obviously didn't believe such flattering words. Although it seemed that they won the battle that year, in fact it was the other side that voluntarily gave in. Otherwise, the entire New World would not be a match for the World Government. What's more, because of the Mother Fire created by Vegapunk, the World Government has regained the right to use ancient weapons, which is a huge disadvantage for the Four Emperors!
In this situation, Vegapunk, who had been hiding all this time, suddenly said that he was committed to justice? Don't be ridiculous, who do you think you are? If you had this intention earlier, why didn't you express any desire for justice in all the years you were in the New World? Why are you so excited now? Could it be that the World Government felt that Vegapunk was useless and was ready to clean up the mess, and now he couldn't sit still and was ready to run away?
It's no wonder Lily speculated about Vegapunk. After all, although this man claimed to have wisdom that surpassed the world for 500 years, what did this have to do with the Beasts? In the eyes of the Beasts, Vegapunk was just a guy who worked for the World Government because the World Government had money and power. This was almost a consensus among the entire Beasts, especially because of the relationship between Jin and Dai, which made many people want to get rid of Vegapunk.

"That's another question, but there's one thing I must say. What I said before about the world being destroyed is not an exaggeration. It's a fact that is very likely to happen."

said the eldest sister, Eve.

"What do you mean?" Quinn was stunned. He had previously thought that the destruction of the other party's world meant that the World Government had regained the power of ancient weapons and the world would once again be shrouded in the hands of the World Government. But now it seemed that there was another meaning? Was this not a metaphor, but a statement?

"It means literally. The world will be destroyed. You know the Seven Waters City, the city that is partially flooded every year."

said the eldest sister, Eve.

"I know, but what does this have to do with the end of the world?"

Quinn asked again, while Lily held her chin in her hand and said nothing.

"The reason why the Sea Gods appear every year and cause the Seven Water Cities to be flooded is nothing else but the huge hole under the Judicial Island not far from the Seven Water Cities. There is a huge amount of seawater in that hole that will never be filled. Where do you think they went? Did they disappear out of thin air?"

The eldest sister, Eve, said as she looked at Quinn.

"Could it be that you mean that the Sea Gods were caused by that hole?"

Quinn said with a grim expression.

"Yes, that's right. We are all scientists and should understand a very basic truth. The total amount of matter in this world is actually constant. If there is more here, there must be less somewhere else, and vice versa. The hole in Judicial Island is bottomless. Such a large part of the sea water disappeared, which means that the entire sea level will be affected. It can be said that it is lucky that only the Seven Waters were affected. If there are a few more holes like this, the whole world will disappear with the rising sea level."

said the eldest sister, Eve.

"Wait, how could that hole appear so easily? No, you mean, that hole was caused by the King of Heaven, right?"

Although it looked like a question, it had already turned into affirmative words in Quinn's mouth. Now, even if Eve didn't say it, he could guess what this matter meant.

"Yes, I think you understand, this is why those guys live in such a high place, why they wear airtight clothes and a silly-looking hood on their heads?"

The eldest sister Eve spread her hands and said
"Damn, that's not some stupid outfit, it's a diving suit. If they really encounter a situation where the sea floods the world, that strange outfit will allow them to live in the water. That's their purpose!!!"

Quinn said, turning his head to look at Lily and said:
"Big sister, we don't have time to waste, we must activate Pluto as soon as possible! To offset the power of Uranus!"
