Chapter 583 Blue Star
Tsunade has a bad temper and is not a good tour guide. Fortunately, Robin is a good storyteller. She has experienced all kinds of people and things since she was a child. In terms of eloquence, ten Tsunades are not as good as her.
There are too many incredible information recorded in the historical text. At first glance, it seems that the ancients were just blind and had never seen the world, and attributed some incomprehensible things to greatness, just like uncivilized humans' primitive worship of nature.
However, after years of traveling, especially the five years since she was separated from the Straw Hat Pirates, Robin has been exposed to more historical texts and experienced customs and practices that she had never seen before with the Revolutionary Army. Many things that she should and should not know are deeply engraved in the woman's mind.
"In fact, the more you know, the more empty you will feel. Luffy, if you become the Pirate King, you will see that in addition to this great route, there is a wider world waiting for us to explore."
“Can we find a wider world as long as we reach the final island?”
Luffy, like most people on the sea, has not received a formal education. He has made a name for himself by relying on his fists and personal charm. Knowledge and scientific literacy are extremely scarce among pirates. Doctor Law, the Death Doctor, was well educated at home and is an exception among pirates.
When Robin was a child, she was ostracized by some children in her hometown because she had eaten the devil fruit. However, the adults had no prejudice against her. She studied with the world's top scholars. From childhood to now, she has loved reading very much, and she likes any book that can bring her freshness.
Before the destruction, O'Hara had already calculated that the land beneath his feet was actually a sphere, more than 90% of which was covered by ocean. There were other planets around this blue star, which together with the sun formed a galaxy.
The easy-to-understand name of the Earth was dug out from the dust of history. Accompanying the Earth is the Moon, which is the closest planet to humans. The Sun is much larger than both of them. Without sunlight, there will be no intelligent life.
The space outside the earth is named the universe. The vastness of the universe is beyond everyone's imagination. The earth is like a grain of sand in the ocean. There are so many planets and galaxies like this that they cannot be counted even with all human power.
"I have said so much but I want to point out one thing. Many things on Earth are not formed naturally. If you trace their origins, they are all products that floated from the universe. The Outer Gods also come from outside the Earth. At worst, they are great terrors that can cross galaxies."
We have no concrete concept of the distance between galaxies. If we want to complete a global voyage, we need to travel tens of thousands of kilometers. However, the straight-line distance between the Earth and the Sun exceeds hundreds of millions of kilometers. The distance between the solar system and other galaxies is recorded in light-years.
One light-year is used to measure the distance that light travels in a straight line in the vacuum of the universe in one year. This distance is approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers. The nearest galaxy to the solar system is more than 4.5 light-years away. This distance is very close on the scale of the universe, but for people on this planet, 4.5 light-years is an unreachable distance.
"The two galaxies are so far apart. I need to use my brain. How many years will it take to reach there? Will we die of old age without reaching there?"
Sanji's jokes made everyone realize how terrifying the ability to travel across galaxies is. Such power and such speed of travel are not something that any intelligent creature can achieve.
"Outer Gods aren't called that for nothing. There's nothing wrong with attributing this great terror to God. We are still too insignificant."
After expressing his feelings, Usopp couldn't help but have a question in his mind. These are all things calculated by scientists. Has anyone really practiced them in person? Is the earth a sphere? Is there a solar system outside the sphere? Without practice, it is difficult to convince people with just theory.
However, the problem of snipers has already been solved by someone many years ago, who took the first step towards intelligent creatures as a whole. The Straw Hat Pirates are very familiar with this person, an old acquaintance who can't be more familiar.
"You still remember Enel from Sky Island, the natural devil fruit user who called himself the God of Thunder. I met him once after we separated for a while. He actually landed on the moon on his own."
The image of Enel emerged in everyone's mind. The adventure on Sky Island was so exciting that it deepened the bond between Robin and the Straw Hat Pirates, and allowed archaeologists to find a historical text with the real name of Pirate King Roger. After defeating Thor, it can be said that they reaped a lot of rewards. They were able to build the Thousand Sunny thanks to the start-up capital on the island.
After being defeated by Luffy, Enelu naturally felt disgusted with the ocean-filled planet beneath his feet. He wanted to find the legendary infinite continent. With this ambition, he boarded the Ark Maxim and finally completed the journey from the Earth to the Moon and successfully arrived at the Moon.
According to the man's description, there is no liquid on the surface of the moon. It is bare without any vegetation, and there are craters everywhere. Traces of magma eruption can still be seen on the surface. There is no air and no atmosphere. The temperature difference between day and night is extremely large. Ordinary people cannot survive long on the moon without any defensive measures.
However, Enel is unlucky. He finally found the infinite continent he had always dreamed of, but he didn't expect that even in this remote place, there would be pirates from other planets visiting.
The two sides fought a deadly battle on the moon because they could not communicate in the same language. Enelu relied on the ability of his Thunder Fruit to end the lives of these space pirates and destroyed the spaceship carrying the enemies. But he was a mortal after all, not a real god. He could not stay for a long time without oxygen, and not eating or drinking was not a long-term solution. Even if he could use electric shock to resuscitate the heart, he could not avoid the biological problem of brain hypoxia.
He came back the same way he went to the moon, but he was not so lucky on the way back. The Ark Maxim unfortunately crashed on an uninhabited island. Enel luckily survived and lived as a savage for half a year before he met Robin and Fitz by chance.
Enel, who doesn't know the three colors of domineering, is naturally no match for the one woman and the one fish. Since he can't beat them, he can only tell the truth about what he experienced on the moon. He also took several photos with his camera, including photos of the earth, proving that the land beneath his feet is really a water ball.
"This is the photo we took. Enel didn't know its value, so he gave it to me to save his life."
The photo shows a huge blue sphere, most of which is covered by ocean. The red soil continent surrounding the entire planet is clearly visible. The waterway of the Grand Line is separated from the four seas. Such a new subjective perspective is a scene that no one has ever seen before.
Pirates, the navy, and the world government all seem insignificant in front of this planet. Standing on the moon, you can't see the navy headquarters and the holy land. All intelligent creatures are trapped on this planet and can only compete for limited resources through constant internal competition. They don't know that there is a wider world outside the planet.
