Tang Hao originally wanted to bribe Shana with his looks and mouth, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, so he could only settle for second best and chose her favorite pineapple bread … As it turned out, a foodie's memory was like a leek, it only lasted for seven seconds, after paying the price of ten pineapple bread, it was as if nothing had happened.
While Shana was eating the pineapple bread and gradually forgot about the word flat-chested monster, Tang Hao had nothing to do, so he watched the live broadcast of the other people in the group.
In terms of time, the straw hats set off on the sea train at night and arrived in Enies Lobby the next day. When they rescued Nico Robin, escaped from Enies Lobby and burned down Merry, it was only the evening of the next day. In other words, this peak battle that could be recorded in the history of One Piece only lasted for half a day.
And Tang Hao came to the world of "Burning Shana" yesterday evening, and now it was noon, which was half a day, just in time for the last live broadcast of Silver Time Sakata in the world of One Piece.
From the last few scenes, this rescue operation was undoubtedly much easier than in the original story. In the original story, after Luffy defeated Rob Lucci, he couldn't move anymore. In Tang Hao's view, Luffy being able to defeat Rob Lucci in this period was basically the same as the situation of Lao Sha, which was the main character's aura … Of course, the main character's aura might not sound good, but it could be replaced with something else, such as will, faith, or awareness. These things couldn't be measured by data, but at critical moments, they could really play a role in reversing the situation.
After all, if humans didn't have these metaphysical things, they would be no different from the walking dead, just like humans and torches in this world.
In general, the combat system of One Piece World is not a piece of data. It doesn't mean that if A wins against B and B wins against C, A will definitely win against C. The restraint of abilities and fighting methods are also important indicators to determine the outcome of the battle. Famous people are not necessarily strong, unknown people are not necessarily weak. Just like Fujitora and Green Ox, who can be dug out from the civilians, in the famous Shichibukai, there are not only Gekko Moria, who is a disgrace, but also Hawkeye, who can be compared with Yonkō (Four Emperors).
Of course, Moonlight Moria could not be said to be weak. The Straw Hats had used almost all of their strength to defeat him and his army, but … compared to Hawkeye's record, it was only a loss of face.
But now, Luffy awakened Haki in advance, and the result of the battle was a lot better than in the original story. At least when he escaped, he was still alive and kicking. as for Silver Time Sakata … There was no need to take the Marine's kill report seriously.
"By the way, I have something to ask you."
Shana was happily eating pineapple bread, and Tang Hao didn't want to disturb her, so he just sat there and drank by himself. Of course, he didn't have the habit of drinking, so he drank black tea. Black tea was a good thing, and elegant women like Yuzu, Rin Enban, Radiant, and King Kong liked to drink black tea.
Since he was the Hegemon, of course, he had to be an elegant person.
While he was drinking, the pendant hanging on Shana's neck flashed and made a deep sound.
Tang Hao suddenly looked up. "What's the matter?"
"We are staying in this city to monitor Mystis, and we plan to use him as bait to find the traitor from yesterday and kill him. Why are you here?"
Tang Hao was stunned. Indeed, he had told Shana that he came to the school to keep an eye on Sakai Yuji. It was just a casual remark, but he did not expect the Red Demon King to remember it so clearly. It was too late for him to change his words now, so he smiled and said honestly, "If I told you that I'm actually a traveler from another world, and in order to obtain enough power to exist, I started my activities around Sakai Yuji, would you believe me?"
"No."
"Why?"
"In this world, we can only confirm the current world and the red world. The current world is where humans live, and the red world is where the apostles live. Although you have a strange power, you are still human. If you come from the red world, then how did you survive in the red world? If you don't come from the red world, then where did you come from? We didn't confirm the existence of a third world. "
"Maybe it's just that you can't confirm it?"
"Impossible. If there is a third world, the accumulated distortion will divide, and the signs of disaster won't appear so quickly. We, the Red World Devils, won't come to the modern world to fight our compatriots … At least in the known concept, there is no third world outside of the red world and the modern world, so your words are not valid," Alastor said confidently.
He was indeed confident. He was the Fire of Heaven Soil, and he had another name — the God of Heaven's Punishment.
As one of the three gods of the red world, he had the power to judge and condemn, and he was an extraordinary existence that embodied the laws of the red world. At the same time, he was also the most powerful of the three gods, and he was the only one that could fight against the god of creation. To put it more bluntly, he was different from the other apostles.
That was why Shana was surprised when he said that Tang Hao had a similar aura to him last night.
A similar aura could refer to the Red World Devil or the Demon God. If it was the former, it meant that Tang Hao was not an ordinary substitute messenger that passed by, or at least had a connection with the Red World Devil. But if it was the latter … then it was incredible.
In short, Alastor was more concerned about this matter.
Although as the God of Destruction, he was slightly inferior to the God of Creation in terms of knowledge, but basically, he knew everything that the God of Creation knew. If there was a third world, it was impossible for him not to notice it.
"Of course, if you can give me enough evidence, even if it's only in theory, I will try to believe it," Alastor said seriously.
Tang Hao hesitated for a few seconds, then smiled and shook his head. "Sorry, I was just joking."
He could give enough evidence to convince the other party, but he didn't want to expose his background so quickly.
"But I'm not completely joking. It's true that I want to obtain enough power of existence."
"Oh?" Alastor's tone rose slightly, and even Shana looked at Tang Hao.
"Don't be nervous. In front of the Fire Mist Warriors, no matter how arrogant I am, I won't say that I want to absorb the power of existence of humans." Tang Hao waved his hand, lowered his head, and looked at the pendant on Shana's chest. "But before we talk about this, I also have a question to ask."
"Please ask."
"According to yesterday's conversation and some of my own analysis, I already have a certain understanding of the Fire Mist Warriors and the Red World Apostles. When humans sign a contract with the Red World Apostles, their karma in the world will be cut off. As Fire Mist Warriors, they need to constantly move to maintain their existence …"
Shana blinked. "Did I tell you this?"
"No," Alastor said with certainty.
"Seems like you're not that ignorant after all," Shana said in a low voice. Shana said in a low voice. The information that Tang Hao revealed at this moment was far more than what she said yesterday. She didn't think that this kind of thing could be deduced just by analysis. Either Tang Hao already knew, but pretended to be ignorant yesterday, or … he had other sources of information.
However, in less than a day, the possibility of the former was undoubtedly higher.
Tang Hao smiled and waved his hand. "Don't worry about these details. Just treat it as me pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Besides, a small brain tiger like me can't threaten you, and what I want to ask Mr. Alastor is …"
"Alastor!"
"Oh, Mr. Alastor." Tang Hao smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, I can't remember western names with more than four words. I want to ask you … if the Fire Mist Warriors stop moving, will their existence disappear?"
"Is this your own guess?"
"Well … I guess so." Tang Hao nodded shamelessly.
"Is that so …" Alastor was silent for a moment. "Your guess is not completely correct. After humans signed the contract with the apostles to become Fire Mist Warriors, they have already dedicated their entire existence, which caused their karma with the world to be cut off. At that moment, as humans, they have already disappeared, and in their place, they exist as crusaders. "
"As for the Fire Mist Warriors that stop moving, in reality, such a situation does not exist. The reason why we signed the contract with humans is to suppress those who destroy the order of the world. This is a contract agreed by both parties, so … if there really is a Fire Mist Warrior like you said, then it is a violation of the contract. We will not waste time on this kind of person, we will abandon them, and then find a new, more suitable contractor."
"As for the abandoned contractor, because he already offered up his entire existence when he signed the contract, when we apostles leave, he will disappear."
"Well …" Tang Hao pinched his chin. "In other words, although the process is different, the result is still the same?"
"You can say that. But whether it is humans or apostles, they will not seek their own death, so the situation you said only exists in hypothesis. In reality, there are only Fire Mist Warriors who die in battle, and there are no Fire Mist Warriors who voluntarily die. "
"I see, but this does not seem to affect my conclusion." Tang Hao nodded with a smile. "Even Fire Mist Warriors need enough Power of Existence to maintain their own existence, and the way they use the Power of Existence is taught by the Red World apostles. So what I want to ask is … under the premise of not becoming a Fire Mist Warrior, can an ordinary person like me also learn to use the Power of Existence?"
"Ordinary person?" Shana's mouth that was biting the pineapple bread couldn't help but stiffen. She had seen a lot of ordinary people, but she had never seen any ordinary person who could cut phosphorus into a human stick, nor had she seen any ordinary person who could block her flying kick head on.
She was a Fire Mist Warrior. Even if she did not enter the state of Burning Eyes, she could easily take down more than ten adult strong men with just her physical strength.
If someone like Tang Hao was also an ordinary person, the Red World apostles would have long been beaten back to their hometown by humans!
"Ordinary person …" Perhaps even Arastor was shocked by Tang Hao's overly modest words and did not know how to respond for a moment.
"Why, can't I?" Tang Hao asked.
"Let's not talk about whether it can or not first. Why do you have such an idea?" Arastor asked. "We are here to correct the distortion of the world, and the Fire Mist Warriors are here for revenge. In the process of fighting against our compatriots, both the Fire Mist Warriors and the Red World apostles have suffered casualties. You should be able to see that there are too many dangers involved. You could have lived freely, so why did you take the initiative to step into it?"
"Well …" Tang Hao drank a mouthful of black tea and then spread his hands. "Although I am indeed very free, you were also there yesterday. My friends and I were attacked by the Fire Mist Warriors, and many people were eaten in an instant. Of course, I don't have a righteous cause like you to correct the world, but I also don't want the people I know today to disappear inexplicably tomorrow … Rather than saying that I took the initiative to step into it, it's better to say that since I came to this world, I am already in the game.
"Moreover, if it weren't for my substitute yesterday, my friends and I would probably have been swallowed like those torches. Perhaps for you, this is something that happens every day and you are already used to it, but for me, I can't pretend that it didn't happen. Since the other party took the initiative to attack us and almost took our lives, I naturally have to return the favor, so …"
Tang Hao gently swirled the cup and smiled. "The life of that Red World apostle is mine. He can be killed by you, by me, or even by other Fire Mist warriors, but no matter what … he must die! "
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became a little heavy. Not only did Shana's gaze become sharp, but even Arastor's deep voice revealed some pressure.
They could feel a strong obsession and killing intent from Tang Hao.
Tang Hao had purposely displayed this killing intent for the sake of displaying his confidence.
Without confidence, no matter who he was in front of, he would not be able to raise his head. Take Sakai Yuji for example. Because his existence had long disappeared, he was just an insignificant torch in Shana's heart. If he wasn't the main character, if he wasn't the Zero Time Particle, there wouldn't be a story at all. At most, he would just be a passerby in Shana's life.
The Zero Time Particle was Sakai Yuji's confidence. Because of it, he had the opportunity to show himself and gain Shana's recognition.
Otherwise, he would only be like Hirai this morning, receiving the attitude of "just a torch" from Shana.
Because of the existence of the Red World apostle, humans could turn into torches at any time, and even Shana didn't care about torches. This kind of worldview was placed here, and it was not something that anyone could change.
Therefore, Tang Hao had to show his confidence. He wasn't the kind of torch that could turn into a human at any time, but someone strong enough to fight against the Red World apostles. Only then would he be able to negotiate with Shana and Arastor on equal terms.
In the eyes of the audience, the anime "Shana the Burning Eye" might only be a story about the male and female protagonists falling in love, but how weak were the humans in this story?
Once they were attacked by the Red World apostles, they didn't even have the right to die. After their existence was devoured, all the knowledge, cognition, memories, and information related to them would disappear, as if they had never existed.
And although the Mist Warriors were the agents of the Red World Demon Kings in order to correct the order of the world, their attitude towards humans was not very kind, even to Shana.
Of course, Tang Hao wasn't so kind as to worry about the humans in this world. He didn't have that much free time, and he didn't have that much power, but … he had to let people know that he was strong, and not weak!
