A World of Pure Science Fiction!
About twenty minutes later, the warship finally arrived at a position about fifty meters from the bottom of the Red Line above.
At this moment, the entire ship was completely enveloped in an intense white light, and Neptune and the others below could not see a single shadow.
This warship is simply too small compared to the main root system of the Sunlight Tree Eve.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back!"
Vidal spoke to the little manatee beside him, and immediately a layer of transparent bubbles appeared on its skin.
He had mastered the abilities of the Yarukiman Mangrove back in the Sabaody Archipelago. As a plant-based person, he could naturally envelop himself in a bubble at any time, and it was an even more resilient special bubble.
There's no other way; as someone with abilities, it's best to be cautious in this place thousands of meters underwater.
Protected by the bubbles, Vidal immediately burst out of the large bubble covering the warship and headed towards the nearby root system of the Sun Tree.
It's truly amazing beyond belief. It gathers such dazzling light without generating any high temperature, demonstrating just how efficiently this Sun Tree converts and controls Sunlight Energy.
Although it can collect sunlight and then release it, the temperature will inevitably rise if too much energy is condensed.
This is also the principle behind his various beam attacks!
Vidal was amazed. In the endless white light, his hand, as small as a tiny ant, finally touched a tree root.
[Slap]
[Buzz--]
Almost the instant the power of the Woods-Woods Fruit was activated, Vidal's pupils suddenly shrank to almost nothing, and his body shuddered violently. He felt a huge flow of information rush into his mind, and his spirit boiled over like water.
[Boom!!]
The next moment, an extremely violent shockwave erupted from Vidal's body, flashing with countless green Inazuma. His aura was incredibly terrifying, and the surrounding seawater seemed to be struck by a heavy blow, suddenly exploding and scattering in all directions.
Conqueror's Haki, Observation Haki, and Armament Haki all surged forth at this moment!
Within his inner consciousness, numerous high-definition images surfaced, and these images were played in reverse.
This reverse playback is different from a normal reverse playback; it's not a very abrupt reversal, but more like a playback of the scene.
For example, footage from a month ago appears, followed by footage from two months ago, with the sound, actions, and environment of each scene appearing perfectly normal.
These images and videos seem to be Sunlight Tree Eve!
First, Vidal 'saw' Mary Geoise from a bird's-eye view, then his perspective quickly lowered.
During this process, he saw Imu's figure again, but this time there were twenty men of different styles standing behind him, and they all knelt down on one knee in unison towards Imu's back.
However, Vidal discovered that Mary Geoise at this time lacked Pangaea Castle and other buildings, with only a few flimsy little buildings, and 'he' himself seemed to be shorter than before.
The video continued to play, and he didn't know how much time had passed. As he watched, he gradually realized that these might all be Sunlight Tree Eve's past!
This past is not a mere chronicle of everything that has happened over the past few hundred years, but rather the more important parts of it.
And the very last scene shows it being planted here by a group of people with white wings on their backs.
The scene.
"So that's how it is! So that's how it is!" Vidal, still with his eyes closed and surrounded by countless white lights, was extremely excited.
He discovered that after watching the entire replay, he could adjust the 'playback bar' and freely rewatch any past content.
However, this freedom was short-lived. Soon, information about the Sunlight Tree Eve herself entered Vidal's mind through the power of the Woods-Woods Fruit.
This was his original purpose in touching the Sunlight Tree Eve: to understand, analyze, and master all its abilities and essence.
Those past scenes were a pleasant surprise.
However, during this process, Vidal, who had his eyes closed, frowned.
He did know everything about it, but found that he couldn't control it much; at most, he could only control the surface aspects, as he had just done.
This result was unexpected by Vidal, after all, he hadn't anticipated that there were trees Woods-Woods Fruits couldn't be completely controlled.
"Is it because my Devil Fruit ability level is not high enough?"
Vidal slowly lowered his hand, completely retracting his Haki. However, he did not open his eyes. Even with sunglasses on, it wouldn't be good to open his eyes rashly in this environment. It was better to close his eyes and process the situation first.
It turns out that the so-called Sunlight Tree Eve was actually artificially created, with the main materials being the Treasure Tree Adam and the Yarukiman Mangrove, producing a magical reaction where one plus one is greater than three.
With a tree body even more resilient than Treasure Tree Adam, it was able to pierce through the Red Line and withstand the water pressure of ten thousand meters underwater. The Yarukiman Mangrove gave it the ability to transmit air and also a new ability: to transmit sunlight from the earth's surface!
That's why the roots of these sun trees are covered with the same black vertical stripes as those of the Yarukiman Mangrove!
The purpose of creating it was revealed in the dialogue between the characters in the previous replay footage.
Giantification Experiment!
They intended to use this Sunlight Tree Eve, to transmit more air into the deep sea. This ability to transmit sunlight and make it glow would attract sea creatures, causing them to hover and linger around.
Later, Vidal also saw a group of Fish-Man Race, with the guidance and help of those people, built the first Fish-Man Island.
"They succeeded! The increased oxygen levels in the ocean caused some marine creatures to grow to enormous sizes, transforming them into the Sea Kings, sea beasts, and sea monsters we know today!"
"And the mission of these Fish-Man Race and Fish-Man Island is to guard the roots of the Sunlight Tree Eve, preventing them from being destroyed by giant Sea Kings. So, were the Fish-Man Race genetically modified to carry out this mission?"
Vidal was utterly shocked; the scale of these people's actions a thousand years ago was simply outrageous.
"No wonder someone once said that all the 'magic' in the Pirate King world is science, and all the seemingly incredible and magical things are actually products of advanced technology!"
"That's true for Devil Fruits, and it's true for all races!"
"By the way, there's also a giant tree on 'Elbaf.' Could its function be similar to this Sunlight Tree Eve, emitting more oxygen? But since it's on the surface, it doesn't need the ability to emit light, thus giving rise to giant humans, the Giant Tribe!"
Vidal thought to himself, if that's really the case, then the oxygen content of this world must be extremely high. The reason he didn't feel any discomfort was because he was reborn.
If it had been the original body that transmigrated here, it would most likely have died from oxygen poisoning.
Therefore, the fact that humans and other living beings in this world are so physically strong to varying degrees is likely indirectly due to environmental influences.
"So this is actually a science fiction world? Wow, I have to admit it!" Vidal shook his head and sighed.
Those who are interested can check out the roots of the Yarman mangrove in the Sabaody Archipelago and the Sunlight Tree Eve that appeared on Fish-Man Island; both have consistent black vertical stripes on their surfaces, the only difference being their size.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to insert images.
