I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 858 Joyboy

"Ghost!!!"

With a scream, everyone focused their attention on the panicked Brooke, who was messy in the storm.

"Ghost?!" The straw hat figure outlined in red and black wavy lines was also startled, "Where is it?"

"You two are really more worried than the other!!" Nami clenched her fists, and finally blasted all the uncontrollable lightning power on Brooke, giving him a free refill. Wave perm. After all, we still haven’t figured out the situation of this strange guy that Luffy Ripple “resurrected” in front of us, so we shouldn’t act rashly.

ZZZZZZZZZZZ! The electric current on Brook's body flowed among everyone with the heavy rain. Sanji, Usopp, and Franky breathed white smoke, "Nami... during thunderstorms, don't...discharge casually..."

Nami stuck out her tongue, and then looked at Robin and Lynch. The electricity flowing past was automatically protected by the green and black iron rod, and was introduced into the earth like a lightning rod.

"Hahahaha, I don't know who you are, but it's so interesting." The figure in the straw hat outlined with red and black ripples laughed.

Luffy was also shocked, but as if nothing had happened, he raised his head and said with a smile: "You are having fun too! Can you poop?"

"Can you be more serious?!" the others roared, and even Zoro couldn't help but want to punch Luffy.

"I'm shitting..." The figure outlined in red and black ripples held down the straw hat on his head, looking up at the sky as if reminiscing about the past, "I stopped pooping a long time ago..."

"You really answered!!" Nami almost couldn't control herself and gave this guy a lightning punch.

Faced with Nami's roar, the other party was a little at a loss and said innocently: "That's what it is. Look at me like this, how can I do it?"

"Shut up! Don't bring up this topic again!"

Nami sighed, "If you are so good at playing tricks, no wonder the outline looks very similar to Luffy."

After all, it is just an appearance made of Luffy's ripples, not a real flesh and blood body. Even if it is embodied, it is more like a figure sketched out by splashing ink. The ripples on the face are dancing and sometimes clear. Sometimes blurry.

"Even this straw hat..."

"What are you talking about, Nami, where do I have a straw hat?" Luffy folded his arms and turned to ask. In exchange for Nami's murderous squinting, Luffy quickly turned his head back.

"So, let's get down to business." Lynch crossed his arms and asked, "You are Joey Boy, right?"

"Strictly speaking, this is my nickname at work." The figure in the straw hat outlined with red and black ripples...Okay, Joey Boy, raised a finger to correct it, and then took a closer look at Lynch in front of him. After that, even the blurry face showed a look of extreme surprise, "You are so strong. It's amazing!"

Robin asked: "What is your nickname at work? What kind of job is it? Also, do you have a clear understanding of your current situation? Are you considered alive now? Do you have a complete memory?"

"What do you mean, am I still alive? How rude..." Joyboy said dissatisfiedly, lowered his head and looked at himself, and was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, "What is this! ? How did I become like this! ”

Nami couldn't bear it anymore and punched her, "Didn't you completely fail to understand the situation?!"

Boom! Thunder and lightning passed through the figure of red and black ripples, "poured" on the stone wall and scattered in all directions, illuminating the raindrops that hit the stone wall diagonally, as well as the words "You can find it by gathering four red stones" carved on the stone wall. A crude schematic of the "Final Island".

Looking at this picture, Joyboy was stunned for a long time. He stretched out his hand to touch the stone wall and lightly brushed the pattern, "Ah, I remembered, I am already...dead."

His tone was very calm, which made people feel pity.

Luffy nodded: "Yes, you are dead."

"Hey!" Nami and Usopp turned to glare at Luffy.

Lin Qi said: "Not only did he die, he also killed the mermaid princess of your time."

"Hey!!" Nami and Usopp raised their hands.

"Yes," Joey Boy touched the straw hat on his head and laughed, "Because he is dead, there is nothing we can do. I am really sorry for Chou Chou Xing."

"How come you are like this!" Nami and Usopp couldn't help but raise their foreheads, but they were also very curious, "Chou Chou Star?"

"Could it be..." Robin pondered, "the name of the mermaid princess of your time?"

Joyboy smiled and said: "Her name is Mei Xing, but she is too pretty and has a very annoying personality, so I like to call her Chou Chou Xing. Hahaha."

Who is this! Nami was gearing up, wondering if she could give this guy a try on behalf of Shirahoshi's ancestors.

Robin asked: "You left a letter of apology written on the history text on Fish-Man Island. What on earth...are you apologizing for, Meixing?"

"What a surprise." Joeyboy was really surprised and looked at Robin carefully, "Can you recognize those words? I thought no one could decipher those words except the Kotsuki clan who locked up the country. Are there any of you from the Guangyue clan?" He checked everyone with interest, and when he saw Meili in Brooke's afro, he said unexpectedly: "A person with the ability of the underworld fruit?"

"Generally speaking, I attract more attention, right?" Meili, a good child, couldn't help complaining.

"Ship Elf. Only the person who gave birth to you will think you are precious." Joyboy said with a smile, his eyes falling on the drowned fox Onimaru at Zoro's feet, "The one from Wano Country ??Beast?”

"You guessed wrong." Onimaru said, "There are no people from the Kozuki family here. Today, the only bloodline of the Kozuki clan is Princess Kozuki Hiwa, who is now the general of Wano Country."

Robin didn't hide it either, saying: "It's me, I can decipher ancient texts."

"This is even more surprising." Joyboy said to himself, "After all, you don't look like a three-eyed clan..."

Robin said calmly: "I am a historian. The doctors in my hometown worked hard and successfully deciphered the ancient characters in the historical text, so I followed suit."

Joyboy smiled heartily: "Is there such a thing? What great scholars!"

"Yes, it's amazing." Robin's tone was calm, but his eyes were slightly red, and a big solid hand reached out to hold his palm.

Robin clenched his backhand and took a breath and said: "It's a pity that they are all dead. Because of studying this kind of writing and interpreting historical texts, my hometown was razed to the ground by the world government, including my mother. Historians, all were destroyed. I am the only survivor..."

"..." The figure in the straw hat outlined with red and black ripples seemed to be looking into the distance, muttering to himself, "The World Government...is that the current name of the United Army of Twenty Nations? It does seem like they can do it. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." He looked at Robin again.

Robin shook his head and said nothing more.

"Wait a minute, I have a question." Sanji suddenly raised his hand. After Joeyboy and others looked at him, Sanji said seriously, "I have had this question before. Just now, Joe Yiboyi, your reaction makes my doubts even deeper. Why are you, or let me put it another way, why is the world government, the United Army of Twenty Nations in your mouth, so sure that no one can decipher the ancient texts? ”

"The world is so big, and some islands have never been visited by anyone. I think even with the power of the world government, it is difficult to be sure that something has been completely wiped out from reality. When this thing is a "It's a text, a system of knowledge," Sanji loosened his wet tie and wondered, "It's even more impossible to be so confident when it's something that can be passed down by word of mouth."

"Sanji-kun, what you said..." Nami reacted, "That's right. How can you be sure that a language has been eradicated? Eight hundred years ago, all the people who knew this language were eradicated. Is it a clean slaughter? That would kill an entire generation..."

Usopp, Chopper and others shuddered.

Zoron said: "It's useless. As long as some people clearly understand this kind of writing but pretend not to understand when facing the butcher's knife, someone will get away with it. Unless the world government removes even the slightest trace of suspicious people and ethnic groups around the world Kill them all..."

"But if we do that," Franky touched his chin, "it's hard to imagine how many years it will take for the world to come back to life..."

"A hundred years of blankness..." Robin muttered to himself.

Joyboy remained silent, just looking at these people quietly.

Luffy looked left and right, looking serious.

Lin Qi suddenly said: "Childlike fruit."

"Huh?"

Nami, Sanji, Zoro and others were confused by his abrupt words, but Joyboy's phantom immediately stared at Lynch, seeming to be laughing or crying.

"It seems that I guessed it right?" Lin Qi said slowly, "Instead of spending a huge amount of killing projects to kill all suspicious people who understand ancient writing, it is even extremely incredible to kill a whole hundred years of people. History is erased from everyone's memory..." He shook his head and sneered, "Haha, if the world government has such a huge effort, I would like to put it bluntly, is it necessary to do such a thing to let people who know ancient texts live? So what if you come down? Who can rebel in front of such a giant? Will he erase history, erase ancient texts, and even erase you, Joey Boy?"

"This in itself shows the guilty conscience and powerlessness of the twenty-nation coalition eight hundred years ago." Lynch looked at the silent phantom of red and black ripples, "Except for a few people who climbed to the top of this world Apart from hearing about it, your name is only recorded in the historical text you left on Fish-Man Island. In other words, I think your existence is likely to be like that blank one. Hundreds of years, like ancient writing, have been erased by some means."

"To erase a person's existence from the memory of everyone in the world..." Lynch said, "It just so happens that I know there is a devil fruit that can do it."

"The childlike fruit of Superman." Lynch and Joey Boy said at the same time.

Is there such an "evil" Devil Fruit? ! Nami and the others felt creepy and their backs felt cold. It can completely erase a person's existence from the memory of everyone in the world. Even the original closest relatives will not remember the existence of this person. In this way, others will not even have the motivation to save this person. ...This Devil Fruit ability is simply terrifying!

"To be precise," Joyboy seemed to be smiling bitterly, "it is the fruit of awakened childlike interest."

Lynch said in an almost cold and calm tone: "It seems that the fruit of childishness after awakening can erase even a piece of text and a piece of history? This is why no one knows what you left to the mermaid princess. What is the apology letter for? Because your existence has been erased by the Childlike Fruit, and everything about you has become a memory that cannot be recalled, and naturally cannot be passed down accurately..."

"Yes, for most people, yes." Joyboy rubbed the straw hat on his head and sighed, "Except for the Kozuki family daimyo who spent all his life and barely saved all The heirs of the Kozuki family were not affected by the Childlike Fruit... But even Kozuki was still a step too late, forgetting those tragic hundred years and only retaining the knowledge of ancient texts in their minds..."

Robin imagined the world eight hundred years ago. The twenty-nation coalition destroyed a once huge kingdom and established the current world government. One of them used the ability of the awakened childlike fruit. Originally, the remaining people who inherited D's will could take revenge on the World Government, but their minds gradually forgot why they wanted revenge...

Originally, people who had everything taken away could accumulate strength and regain what was theirs, but the past history, and even those symbols and words, all faded away in their cognition.

Without a sword or a drop of blood, the World Government erased a hundred years of history and memory from the minds of people all over the world.

The most sinister thing is that this approach has caused people all over the world to have no feeling of "I have lost something" from the beginning, and thus lack the desire to "find something".

Robin finally understood why the blank hundred years were so obvious. There was no mention of that period of history in any history books, and no one had ever thought there was anything wrong with it. Except for O'Hara's scholars, no one in the world thought there was a problem with this matter. The fundamental reason for this is that the ancestors of people all over the world eight hundred years ago have accepted this apparently contradictory and strange thing, and passed this understanding to the next generation, and the next generation... Eight hundred years ago Years have passed, and what was originally strange and incongruous has become a common and normal phenomenon, and the blank hundred years is no longer so abrupt.

This kind of thing...in essence, has the same effect as "D's will".

When a cognition is deeply ingrained enough, it will in turn affect a person's ancestry factors, and ancestry factors are hereditary.

Eight hundred years later, this understanding has been enough to form a social consensus, a common sense, and everyone’s intuition: This is it, is there something wrong?

"So, those scholars in your hometown are really amazing." Joyboy said sadly, "Challenging 'common sense', questioning 'intuition', swimming against the current..." He raised the corners of his mouth, showing a carefree smile. Smiling, holding down the straw hat on his head, "I hope I can have a drink with them in Huangquan and make friends, hehehe."

Lin Qi said: "You haven't said yet why you want to apologize to Mermaid Princess Meixing."

"Well..." Joyboy's tone was full of regret, "I promised her that I would turn all the mermaids and fishmen back into ordinary humans. We made an appointment to use the same pair of hands when the time comes. Legs and feet standing on the green grass, we agreed to get married like this..."
