Chapter 138: Holy Land Marie Geoise is Alarmed!
At twelve twenty-three in the evening, the bright Crystal Lamps illuminated the Room of Authority with dazzling light. The Five Elders had finished discussing the affairs of Sea Star Mainland.
Saint Topman Warcury looked at Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and said, "You should contact Doflamingo as soon as possible. It's fine to delay the Sea Transport King's matter, but our Construction Department is in urgent need."
"Alright."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter nodded, then handed the four Data/Files sent by Cipher Pol Headquarters to Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, who was closest to him.
"This is the Intelligence sent back by CP9 from the Stargate World. Take a look, there's a very shocking discovery!"
"Oh?"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn raised an eyebrow in surprise, took the Data/Files, and passed them to Saint Topman Warcury beside him, who then passed them down in turn.
The four began to silently read the contents.
The first part of the Intelligence stated that Lucci and the others had later discovered eleven Black-Purple Corpses infected with the Living Dead Virus.
However, five of them had their Hearts destroyed, and one had its Head fallen off to the side, belonging to truly dead people who couldn't even open their eyes when fed blood.
At the same time, the Data/Files included several Photos, clearly showing the extent of the Heart damage.
"These are clearly Bullet Holes!" Saint Jaygarcia Saturn decisively judged.
"That's right. This indicates that the people of that World can manufacture and use Firearms. This is indeed very important Intelligence."
Saint Marcus Mars, who oversees the Academy of Science, had a solemn Gaze.
"According to the Biochemical Research Institute's experiments, the Heart Membrane of the Living Dead in that World requires an Automatic Rifle to fire two shots in quick succession and hit the same spot to penetrate.
"Whereas the Living Dead in our World require four shots or more. The question now is, what is the Power of the Firearms in that World, and is it possible to penetrate with just one shot?"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter Shake Head and said, "Unfortunately, so far, CP9 has only encountered Living Dead, not a single Living Person. They haven't even seen any dilapidated villages or Building. It's a strange Matter. However, the shocking discovery I mentioned isn't this. Please continue reading."
The other four exchanged glances and continued to turn the pages. When they reached the last two pages, the content on the Paper became strange.
Because it was clearly a Letter written in Wa-language. Although the grammar was a bit odd, the general meaning could still be understood. After all, Letters here are generally written in Wa-language.
"What does this mean?"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn looked up in confusion. The other three also looked at Saint Shepherd Ju Peter with puzzled expressions.
"This is a Letter that Lucci and Mata's group found in the Clothing of a Living Dead Corpse."
"?"
"!"
"?!"
Saint Topman Warcury and the others were stunned, their eyes unconsciously widening slightly. They quickly lowered their Heads to examine the content of the Letter again.
"You mean there's Wa-language in Another World too?"
"How is this possible!"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said with emotion, "I was also very shocked at first, but thinking about it carefully, the people in that World look exactly like us, and they wear Clothing. There's an eighty percent chance they even have Firearms. It seems understandable that the Writing is similar."
There are two main types of Writing on Planet Sea. One is English language, used for official texts, professional Books, Wanted Posters, and other formal and serious occasions. The other is Wa-language, used for Newspapers, Letters, and non-serious occasions.
Wa-language, as the name suggests, is a Legendarily originated Writing from Wano Country. As for English language... well, there is certainly no England in this World, so why is there English language? That can only be asked of the Creator God.
Hearing Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's explanation, the other four could only hold their noses and reluctantly accept this Fact. Meanwhile, the former continued.
"Based on this Letter, which should be from a wife to her husband, we found a few useful pieces of Intelligence."
"First, they call those Living Dead 'Kabane'. Second, the place where the wife is located is called Hayajiro Station. This 'Station' should mean 'post station'. Third, the husband who received this Letter, meaning the Corpse, is a 'Samurai'!"
Speaking of this, he paused.
"However, the 'Hayajiro (Iron Fortress)' mentioned inside is still unclear what it means, but this can already confirm that there are indeed Cities where Humans gather in large numbers."
At this moment, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, wearing a white Kimono and wooden clogs, and holding Shodai Kitetsu, said with a cold face, "Wa-language, Samurai. It seems the Culture of this World is very close to the Style of Wano Country."
"Indeed. We just don't know what the Combat Power of the Samurai here is like," Saint Topman Warcury said with a slightly heavy tone.
[Purupurupuru, Purupurupuru]
Suddenly, the sound of a Transponder Snail rang out from Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's pocket. He didn't avoid the others, took it out directly, answered, and asked, "What is it?"
"Lord, Lucci and Mata have discovered a Railway on a plain. They are preparing to investigate along the Track. There's a high probability they can find a Town where Living People live!"
"Understood."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter hung up the call, put the Transponder Snail back in his pocket, and interlaced his fingers in front of him, saying, "What do you think?"
"Railway... I remember it's often used for transporting Mineral Resources Underground..." Saint Topman Warcury said thoughtfully, "But I've never heard of Railways used on the Surface."
In the Sea Star World, because the Red Line is forbidden to inhabit and the areas below are mostly Island Environments, there is naturally no need for long Surface Rail Trains.
"However, the Sea Train being developed in Water Seven is said to require the construction of Sea Floating Tracks connecting various Islands. Could it be that the Transportation in that World is Ground Rail Trains?" Saint Marcus Mars guessed.
"It's possible. But being able to manufacture Railways and Trains, it seems the Level of Civilization Development in that World is not low!" Saint Jaygarcia Saturn exclaimed.
Saint Topman Warcury said, "Let them continue investigating. There isn't enough Intelligence yet. Once we understand seventy to eighty percent of the Situation in that World, then we can consider our Attitude towards it!"
As for what "Attitude" meant, everyone present knew clearly.
"Alright, it's late. Let's go back to sleep..."
[Boom!!]
Just as he was about to announce the end of the meeting, a huge roar suddenly sounded outside the Window. The strong air Tremor even shook the Glass on the Window, creating dense cracks.
"What happened!"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn suddenly stood up, a powerful Aura erupting from his body.
"It's outside, the Social Plaza!"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter quickly ran to the Window and looked down. The next second, his Pupils suddenly contracted, and dense cold sweat seeped from his forehead. He muttered in a low voice.
"Something big has happened..."
For a time, Mary Geoise in the deep night was completely alarmed. Large numbers of Holy Land Garrison members rushed towards Pangaea Castle in a panic.
At the same time.
Black-clothed Cipher Pol Members darted quickly under the Moonlight, Starlight, and lamplight. The Speed of each person left a long Afterimage.
[Purupurupuru, Purupurupuru]
The Transponder Snail rang again, but this time it was the one on the Coffee Table. Saint Topman Warcury quickly picked up the Handset. Before he could speak, he heard the other party say.
"Lord Imu's Order: Do not disturb his enjoyment!"
"Mihawk?"
The Five Elders exchanged glances.
Regarding the language and writing systems of the Otherworld Background.
If English language, Wa-language, or other writing systems have clearly appeared in the work, such as on Newspapers or other items, then the language and writing systems are set to be mutually intelligible with Planet Sea.
However, if English language, Wa-language, or other writing systems have not clearly appeared, and it is confirmed that there are different writing systems and an Otherworld Background, then the language and writing systems are set to be not mutually intelligible with Planet Sea, which will increase the difficulty of Intelligence collection. In this case, a Devil Fruit Ability related to language or organizing Scholars for Research will be needed.
