Chapter 517: A feeling of déjà vu

Views:

"General Iron Fist, General Fujitora, General Revolution, this way please."

Haiyuan calendar year 1525, May, Korsa Island.

Garp, Fujitora, and Ryu, led by their female assistant, walked on the bluestone road of the town. Looking around, they saw plain-clothed civilians everywhere, carrying vegetable baskets or firewood, coming and going in the town. From time to time, they would stop to talk to an acquaintance they met, and without exception, they all had a smile on their faces.

"The civilians in this town seem to be living a happy life."

Karp couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

He wondered how long it had been since he had seen smiles like this on the faces of civilians in the government's member states.

"It's natural to be happy because their leader is that kid Vivian."

Fujitora, who was walking in front with a cane, smiled and said, "Although I can't see things, I can definitely feel the joy and warmth in the air. Everyone is really happy right now."

"Yeah.."

Cap smacked his lips.

Is this the town built by that guy named Vivian

Indeed...it was as beautiful as he imagined.

No, it was even several times better than he had imagined.

But can such a picture really withstand the baptism of this world

The system that has been established since eight hundred years ago... no, since a thousand years ago, the royal power and the nobility, slaves and untouchables, this kind of form has long been deeply rooted and cannot be achieved by shouting slogans, exposing history, and then issuing orders.

But it is precisely because of this that the three of them appeared in this place at this time.

So he quickened his pace and walked towards the building where Vivian was.

On the way, a series of tall buildings built in "weird styles" came into the eyes of the three people. Some were five or six stories high, while others were more than ten or twenty stories high and towered into the sky. But without exception, there was a rectangular iron box in the middle of each building, which made Cap feel very confused again.

"What's that thing for?" he asked.

"Which one?"

Long glanced in the direction Garp was pointing.

The father and son hadn't seen each other for many years, so it was inevitable that they were a little awkward at this moment. Therefore, this could be regarded as their first conversation since landing on the island.

But it is somewhat magical to say that since Long ran away without telling his father to form the revolutionary army, the number of times the two have met in more than 20 years can be counted on one hand.

How long has it been since we last met

It should be nineteen years ago when I entrusted Luffy to Garp's care, right

He recalled this in his mind, and then explained: "That was made by Vivian. He said that thing is called an 'elevator', and it can send people directly to any floor by means of electricity. In this way, civilians with mobility impairments can avoid climbing stairs."

"Is it the same principle as the elevator in Marijoa? It's a very thoughtful idea." Cap nodded, thinking that Vivian really was thinking about the people.

I just don’t know if this building is so tall, will it be struck by lightning if there is a thunderstorm.

Who knew that just when I had this thought, the next second...

Boom!

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and suddenly a bolt of lightning struck down and hit the top of the tall building.

Garp's eyes widened when he saw this.

However, the expected scene of the high-rise building collapsing did not appear. Looking at the building surface that remained intact after being struck by lightning, without even a trace of burning, even Cap, who had lived to such an old age, could not help but open his mouth and utter an exclamation.

"This is also Vivian's masterpiece. He installed lightning rods on the roofs of every high-rise building. In this way, even if there is a thunderstorm, people don't have to worry about being struck by lightning."

Because One Piece's technology tree is very crooked, whenever such weather occurred in the past, there would always be tragedies of houses being struck and burned all over the world, and people being killed and injured. Now that we have lightning rods, there is naturally no need to worry about such a situation happening again.

However, in order to conceal the role of the lightning rod for Garp, the thunderclouds summoned by Long frightened all the people in the small town of Korsa Island. Many people even quickened their pace and returned to the courtyard inside the house and began to put away their clothes.

dragon:"... ... "

He coughed awkwardly, then continued walking forward with Garp.

Hospitals, park squares, naval bases, commercial streets, power plants, water plants, and schools under construction. Although Cap had never seen these architectural styles anywhere else, after seeing these facilities with his own eyes, he even had the idea of settling down here.

Involuntarily, my opinion of Vivian began to change.

Ten minutes later.

As if they were on a tour, Cap and his two companions walked and stopped along the way before finally arriving at Vivian's residence.

This is a three-story house located not far from the square in the center of the island, covering an area of about 600 square meters. It also has an elevator. The first floor is the council hall, the second floor is the cafeteria and kitchen, and the third floor is Vivian's office and residence.

Since the naval base is less than three or four hundred meters away, the naval troops in the town come to Vivian's cafeteria for meals every noon and evening.

Of course, all the chefs in the cafeteria are apprentices trained by Vivian, so let alone three or four hundred meters, even if it is three or four kilometers, they will probably run here every day to feast on the food.

There’s nothing I can do about it, who can blame Vivian’s cooking skills for being so amazing

"Why does the rice smell like rice?"

Just as he walked into the building, Cap sniffed and spoke in confusion.

"General Garp, the second floor is the kitchen built by Lord Vivian himself. If you don't mind, you can go upstairs to eat first and then come to the office to discuss matters later." The assistant who was in charge of leading them smiled and said, "Of course, this was ordered by Lord Vivian himself. He is probably taking a shower and changing clothes right now."

"Is that so... Then I'll reluctantly go upstairs and have a quick meal."

Cap swallowed his saliva very secretly, put his hands behind his back seriously, and walked into the elevator.

However, about half an hour later.

"It's decided! From today on, I will temporarily live in this town. This way, I can also help that old guy Zhan Guo and train new soldiers."

Wiping the oil stains from his mouth with a tissue, Karp muttered to himself calmly.

Upon hearing this, Fujitora on the side couldn't help but recall the scene three years ago when he first met Vivian and was fed every day on her warship.

"Why do I feel like I've seen this before?"

...
