Sightseeing, Technology, Pirates

A very unusual island sits on the sea.

It is considered extraordinary because it truly is extraordinary.

Even from a great distance, one could clearly see several enormous gears irregularly distributed along the edge of the island, slowly turning.

Moreover, a tall tower stands in the middle of the island, its metallic sheen particularly striking.

Down from the tower, there is a railway section that encircles the island, with train-like things speeding by on the tracks, and a rumbling sound can be faintly heard.

At the top of the tower, a globe-like spherical object was slowly rotating.

"Amazing!"

Yamato leaned close to the periscope, gazing at the island in amazement, and exclaimed, "What is this?! Are there really islands like this in the world?"

"Sirius! It's completely different from the islands we've landed on before."

She was, of course, very surprised.

This is a difference in civilization.

While other countries on the high seas were still at the stage of sailing warships, this island had already built a railcar.

Moreover, the gears around the island and the tall tower in the middle of the island don't look like ordinary things at all.

"This is Tsukimi Island."

Sirius smiled and said, "It's the center of South Blue technology! It's the most developed island in this sea area, a nation belonging to the future."

"The future? Technology! How amazing!"

Yamato exclaimed in surprise.

The power of science is indeed formidable.

If it develops to a certain level, it might become even more powerful than the monsters of the sea. Isn't Pluton something like that?

"This is nothing compared to what's to come,"

Sirius smiled and said, "When we go to the Grand Line in the future, we can visit Baldimore."

"Baldimore? What's that place?" Yamato asked curiously.

"It's also an island of machines, and a nation belonging to the future."

Sirius Road.

That place is Vegapunk's hometown, an island with a more advanced science and technology than this place.

In short, after all the shouting and commotion, Sirius and his group landed.

As usual, Hiyori and Bepo stayed behind to guard the ship, while the others disguised themselves and went ashore.

Although Jack and Maria are incredibly large, they wouldn't be so easily spotted if they split up, since there are plenty of tall guys out there, and Bear King is a South Blue guy.

Sirius and Yamato formed one group, Jack and Law formed another, and Maria and Ulti and her brother, formed a third group. The three groups separated after arriving on the island.

Anyway, there are Den Den Mushi) everywhere, and the island isn't very big, so it's easy to get in touch if something happens.

After crossing the edge of the island and entering its interior, its prosperity was finally fully revealed to Sirius.

Sirius felt as if he had traveled to a modern city.

High-rise buildings stand tall, with well-planned routes crisscrossing between them, and neon lights shimmer even during the day.

Trains rumbled overhead, stopping in places before rushing off again, laden with passengers.

Many of the exceptionally tall buildings have huge screens embedded in their exterior walls, playing programs.

If Sirius didn't know where he was, he would have thought he had traveled through time again.

The level of prosperity here is on a completely different level from other islands in the sea.

Even more impressively, soldiers were patrolling the bustling streets.

However, they were not ordinary soldiers, but rather short, mechanical soldiers carrying long spears and swords.

"Amazing!"

Yamato stopped a mechanical soldier, touching and patting him until Sirius him away.

She looked around excitedly, pulling Sirius along as they ran through the bustling streets, exclaiming, "This city is amazing!"

This overreaction didn't elicit any disdainful looks. The people passing by were all very friendly, and a kind older sister even gave Yamato a map, on which she meticulously outlined the most worthwhile attractions on the island.

It seems that tourism is quite developed on this island.

"Sirius!"

What could Sirius say in the face of Yamato's sparkling eyes?

The two boarded a rail train, a loop train that offered panoramic views of the entire island.

Looking down from the sky, the scenery of this bustling island unfolds into a magnificent panorama, prompting Yamato to exclaim in awe.

The scenery is indeed very beautiful.

However, there were just too many people.

As I've already said, the tourism industry on this island is indeed very developed.

The carriage was very crowded, and Sirius and Yamato were pressed together.

There was nothing wrong with being close to the Yamato; Sirius was already used to it, it was part of his daily routine.

But when even more people crowded in Sirius couldn't keep up.

Helpless, he could only release his Armament Haki, creating a barrier of Haki close to his body to prevent others from getting close.

Yamato was completely oblivious to what was happening and continued shouting and peering out the window.

From here, you can clearly see the large gear on the coast.

That is the source of power for this island.

Several powerful ocean currents surround the island, driving gears and providing it with a continuous source of power.

Sirius has never understood the energy conversion problem in this world. He doesn't understand how just a few gears can handle the energy consumption of such a large and prosperous city.

Just as he couldn't understand why his Sirius was a perpetual motion machine, or why cola could power a giant robot.

Cutting-edge technology, all I can say is that it's all cutting-edge technology.

Next, Sirius and Yamato visited many attractions on the island.

What impressed Sirius the most was the science exhibition held in the science museum at the base of the tower.

This place showcases many of the island's latest technological achievements, and Sirius instantly felt as if he had indeed traveled to a future world.

Mechanical prosthetics, mechanical cars, mechanical butlers...

The sheer number of mechanical creations nearly dazzled Sirius.

What shocked Sirius the most was a mechanical soldier that looked exactly like the mechanical soldiers on the street outside, but it could run and jump, and it could even talk!

They might even get angry, happy, laugh, or cry!

Aside from its metallic shell, it looks almost exactly like a human!

It's simply incomprehensible how they managed to do that!

"That's amazing!"

Today, Yamato said this phrase the most, even 'Sirius' could only rank second.

The last stop was the island's museum.

It's also inside the tower, on the second floor.

There are no antiques here, only a large collection of souvenirs, all of which are products of different stages in the island's development.

And all of these products are inseparable from one name.

"Dr. Tsukimi?"

Yamato surprise, "Just who is this person?! Did he single-handedly develop this island?"

Yes, almost all creations and technological achievements are related to a name.

Dr. Tsukimi

Tsukimi on Tsukimi Island.

That is, at this time.

Rumble.

A loud noise suddenly came from downstairs.

Sirius raised an eyebrow; the troublemaker had arrived.

"Hahaha!! I'll take this thing!"

Downstairs at the science museum, a burly man with a fierce face laughed heartily, "We're rich now!"

A mechanical soldier, tucked under his arm, was now crying in terror.

Around him, and at the entrance and stairwell of the science museum, were groups of men, smoking and laughing smugly.

"They're pirates!! It's O'Brien's crew!!"
