Chapter 971: The Final Island, Kira's Speculation
The artificial magic elf power containing huge energy fell from the sky and completely shattered the outer wall of the Sand Kingdom.
After the dazzling light faded away, the seawater that had been deposited for more than 800 years poured down like the Milky Way, rushing towards the outer seas of the Country of Sand, causing turmoil in the surrounding waters and causing offshore creatures to flee one after another.
After an unknown amount of time, Fujiyama, which had been soaked for a long time, showed its original appearance, and the ancient country of Kazuno at the foot of the mountain also appeared before everyone.
According to his memory, Kira explored all the way down along Jiuli, but he never saw anything that looked like "Pluto". He was very disappointed. His intuition told him that "Pluto" must have been hidden by someone in some way.
However, since Ace's execution was about to begin, he no longer had the extra time to investigate further and could only leave the matter to Crocodile.
'Pluto' said that it could destroy an island with one shot, but no matter how powerful such weapons are, can they be compared to the magic elves' power that can destroy an entire country with one shot?
If that thing was not, as netizens had speculated, a record of the historical , or a carrier of something like "giantization technology" or "bloodline factor gene library", but was just a weapon, then it would be of no use to Kira.
But even if it records history, for Kira, it only allows him to understand the truth, and it is of no use to the future.
Because he has already determined the future for this sea.
After calculating the time of Ace's execution, he drove the Hope away from the Land of Sand. This time, there was also Crocodile in the team. As for Kaido, he had already left.
On the Hope, Kira was pondering a mathematical problem: In three-dimensional space, given the coordinates of three points, is it possible to determine the coordinate range of the intersection center of any four points?
Pulling out a pen and paper, Kira began to calculate as if no one was around: "Let the coordinates of the four points be A (x1, y1, z1), B (x2, y2, z2)..., then the position of the center point should be O [(x1 + x2 + x3 + x4)/4, (y1 + y2 + y3 + y4)/4, (z1 + z2 + z3 + z4)/4]..."
After writing down the coordinates of the five points with letters and numbers, Kira sat quietly at the table, turning the pen in his hand again and again, but still couldn't find a place to start writing.
"It's over. I can't do it anymore! I gave all my high school math back to the teacher..."
He looked up at the people around him, and finally determined that these people were semi-illiterate and could not be relied upon.
"Actually, you can't blame me for this, because as far as I can remember, I never learned this kind of geometry problem in high school... "
After making an excuse for himself, Kira began to lie down on the chair and mess around.
Although I have been trying to build a corresponding mathematical model in my mind, this method is of no use at all and always fails halfway due to insufficient computing power.
"I remember that the forum guy had analyzed it a long time ago. If we only consider the two-dimensional plane, then there is a certain possibility that Raftel is on the edge of the triangle. However, because the islands in the One Piece World may be in the sky or on the seabed, and because of the isolation of the Red Earth Continent and the Calm Belt, it is impossible to complete the exploration by circling around. In addition, there are also problems such as island movement and periodic manifestation (such as long ring islands), so the calculation process becomes complicated."
"And the four points in space may not actually intersect, that is, the straight lines are not on the same plane. If spherical geometry is taken into account, they may even be on the bottom of the sea or in the sky..."
"Even if we finally determine the locations of the four islands on the signpost text, we can't just sail to find them, because sea navigation can only rely on recorded pointers. Normal navigation can't reach a place without magnetic field records. We even need transportation tools such as submarines and bubble wrap."
"So the only way is to collect all four permanent pointers, and when they are reversed in pairs, that place is Raftel!"
The existence of the 'Final Island' was born eight hundred years ago, which means that the four marked islands need to have a certain historical civilization and heritage. Currently, there are only a few islands that meet this standard, such as Wano Country, Alabasta, Fishman Island, Sky Island, Elbaf, etc.
In fact, Kira prefers Sky Island, Fishman Island, Elbaf and Wano Country.
As we all know, Sky Island is above Gaya Island, Fishman Island is under the Red Earth Continent, Elbaf and Wano Country are both in the New World, so these four places may have no intersection.
Now, the texts of three of these four places have been obtained. It will take , but Kira is not in a hurry. Compared with the four marked islands, he is actually more concerned about the specific location of the final island.
Kira has always had a bold guess in his mind: the final island at the beginning is near the Judicial Island!
This is the place that was suspected to have been "extinguished" by the king of heaven, and now only a hole is left!
It might be a very important place, but it was destroyed by Uranus later. When the lights were turned off, Nika gently blocked it with his hand, causing a small island to survive. The remaining island later drifted to the Devil's Triangle, still on the bottom of the sea.
Why is it called the Devil's Triangle?
Kira could only say that when he was reading the comics, he saw unknown "eyes" appear there and there were suspected giant sea beasts wandering around.
So why is it said to be the seabed?
One reason is that Roger's words before his death seemed to contain some allusions; the other reason is that Atlantis, the prototype of the ancient kingdom speculated by One Piece fans, is under the sea. There is a related legend that Atlantis is located in the Terror Delta, and the Water City also has an "underwater capital" buried under the sea. Everything is so coincidental.
Here comes the point!
The place where Raftel was located might be like the "seabed cavity" which is one of the conditions for the formation of the turbulent current.
Kira knew that the formation of the turbulent current required a large enough space on the seabed, into which seawater was continuously injected. When the seawater reached a certain amount, it would erupt every once in a while .
Raftelu may also be in such an underwater space, and then every once in a while, the sea water there will be cleared, and after that, Raftelu will become an "accessible" area.
A similar situation to the turbulent current also occurs near Judicial Island, where the 'Water Gods' Akula Lagna appear every year!
It is even possible that after the location of the 'Final Island' changed, the people of Wano Country began to 'close the country' and raise the status of the country in order to better point to the Final Island.
Although this guess is not as well-reasoned as 'a great flood once broke out in the pirate world, and Wano Country built a high wall for refuge', but precisely because it is not serious enough and no one would guess so, it is more likely to be closer to the truth!
…
Time passed quickly, and there was only one day left before Ace was executed.
Marinford, Marshal's Office.
Zhan Guo sat at his desk, frowning, rubbing his temples with both hands, but it was difficult to relieve the unprecedented headache at the moment.
A few days ago, the navy stationed in the New World to observe the situation had lost track of the Whitebeard Pirates. This was not a big deal as it was expected. However, what really gave him a headache were the two pieces of news he received today.
One is the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates. They have once again formed a pirate alliance and are gathering a large force in the Sabaody Archipelago, eyeing the Navy Headquarters.
According to the reports from the spies, they had deployed at least 20 large ships and 10,000 elite pirates there.
The other is that a group headed , including the Straw Hat Pirates, the Heart Pirates, the Buggy Pirates, Gildarts the Destroyer, and Rayleigh the Pluto, has also formed an alliance and is now also in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Boom!!!
Zhan Guo slammed his fist on the table, and then the whole room was filled with his angry curse: "These pirates... are too arrogant and lawless!!"
"To appear so brazenly near the Navy Headquarters, you simply don't take our Navy seriously!!"
Be it Chief of Staff Tsuru or the three admirals, they all had gloomy faces. Even Garp, who was usually laughing, now had a grim face.
At this point in time, it is obvious what these pirates want to do when they gather here.
Three of the Four Emperors, one legend, a new force that is no less powerful than the Four Emperors, and three supernovas. This lineup is not only about the Navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but even if the military strength is doubled, it may not be a good thing! !
"What now, Sengoku?"
"At this point, it's too late to back down!"
"beat!!"
"Even until the last moment, we must uphold the 'justice' we carry on our shoulders!!!"
