Nested Dolls, Bika

Screams filled the deck of the Sirius.

The Space Pirate from deep space could hardly believe that what they were experiencing was reality.

What kind of technology could possibly cut a body into pieces like that without causing any harm?

Is this really science?

This is completely illogical!

"Stop yelling, you idiots, don't you think it's a bit too noisy?"

Luo frowned slightly, then flicked his finger gently.

The shredded Space Pirate instantly surged into a frenzy, like grains of sand in a storm.

Immediately, the pirates' screams grew even louder.

They discovered that their bodies had been randomly assembled into a giant sphere composed of numerous severed limbs and broken arms, with all of their bodies piled onto it.

"Ugh~ How disgusting."

Yamato and commented sharply, "Luo really has a twisted sense of humor."

Sirius nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the main reason is that there are just too many ways to use the Op-Op Fruit.

"Devil!!"

The pirates completely collapsed. Those with the ability to cry wailed, while those born without this ability also howled, "They are devils from hell!"

Yes, only a devil from hell could possess such terrifying power.

Sirius glanced at Luo; he had wanted these bastards to quiet down, but things had only gotten more chaotic.

"Big brother, they're trying to escape."

Amidst a chorus of wails, Page One pointed to the large ship passageway opposite.

The Space Pirate still on that ship had already noticed what was happening on the Sirius, given their close proximity.

Therefore, the terrified pirates naturally lost the courage to fight the demons, and they decided to abandon their captain and companions and run away.

The large ship was moving very fast; with its tail flames billowing, it had already soared into the sky and was about to escape.

"Really, it's too late to think about running away now."

Sirius laughed and leaped to his feet.

If they had tried to escape when I was still somewhat wary of them, I probably wouldn't have chased them.

But now that their underwear has been exposed, where can they possibly run to?

The next moment.

Boom!

A tremendous roar resounded through the sky, even drowning out the howling sandstorm that echoed between heaven and earth.

The Space Pirate, who had been wailing, fell silent. Their eyes, which still had eyes, were wide open, almost tearing their sockets apart.

A heavy shadow had already enveloped them.

Even more terrified were the pirates on the Space Pirate ship.

At this moment, all the Space Pirate on the ship slumped to the ground, looking up at the enormous thing that blocked out the sky with almost despair.

"It's a monster..."

Only faint sounds like these slipped inadvertently from their throats.

"Quiet down, everyone."

The monster opened its mouth and made a sound; this slight movement stirred up a gale in the sky, almost blowing the pirates on the deck away.

"Even though it's not the first time I've seen it, I still have to say, it's absolutely huge!" Luo exclaimed sincerely.

His companions nodded in deep agreement.

A gigantic, jet-black werewolf stood on the ground, but his head seemed to reach the sky.

Sirius reached out and grabbed the spaceship that was trying to leave, and no matter how hard it tried to push off, it couldn't break free from his grasp.

This ship shouldn't have been destroyed like this.

Black should be able to reverse engineer the technology it contains.

Watching the pitch-black monster forcefully pull the soaring pirate ship back into the sky, the Lizard Head went completely blank.

What is this?!

This is not science and technology at all!

Who exactly are these people?

Could it be that--

His pupils suddenly contracted. Was this what they had obtained from the Bika's Ruins?

"Alright, can we have a proper chat now?"

Sirius, holding the ship in his arms, smiled and lowered his head. "There are some things I want to ask you."

The Lizard Head remained silent.

And then finally.

He spoke first, "What do you want to ask?"

Sirius's lips curled into a smile. "Then tell me about this starry sky, about Birka."

I'm just so incredibly curious!

What exactly does the civilization in this part of the universe look like?

Why did the lunar city of Birka become so famous throughout the entire cosmos?

"Is that what you wanted to ask?"

The Lizard Head was genuinely confused for a moment.

Isn't this a basic, common-sense question that everyone knows?

Could it be that this group of people is actually a new civilization that has just entered space?

No wonder, their appearance looks completely unfamiliar.

"Captain, may I ask you a question?"

Black stepped forward. "I'm really curious about their technology."

The Lizard Head instinctively looked at him, and then...

"You—you are—" His expression changed drastically in an instant, "Birka's robot!! To possess such a level of intelligence—could it be—"

Are you descendants of the Birkans?

Very perceptive.

Black's appearance is indeed modeled after Birka's robot.

Judging from this guy's reaction, Birka was indeed quite famous in the starry sky back then.

Sirius smiled. "I'm the one asking you the question, not the other way around."

The Lizard Head shuddered, then he quickly said, "It's no secret. If you want to know, I'll tell you everything."

For the next hour, the Lizard Head man told Sirius everything he knew.

About this starry sky, about Birka.

Sirius finally gained a basic understanding of this starry sky, and then a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Well, the starry sky in the Lizard Head gave Sirius a strong sense of déjà vu.

Long ago, the first people to venture into the stars pioneered a route connecting various life-bearing planets and resource-rich planets.

This route is known as the Star Route by those who travel through the universe.

It is known that various civilizations in the universe are active along this route, but only a few have the ability to break out of their home planet and travel in space. Most civilizations are quite backward and are still circling around their own planets.

However, even civilizations capable of navigating the universe have limited technology. After all, the requirements for aviation technology in this world are not particularly high. Therefore, while they compete for resources along the Star Route, it is difficult for them to establish a sufficiently effective defense and management mechanism.

In this context, Space Pirate pirates emerged, raiding interstellar colonies and secluded civilizations.

It's very lively under this starry sky.

That is--

"Why does it feel almost the same as Blue Sea?" Jack asked instinctively.

Yes, it's basically just a nested doll.

Finally, regarding Birka.

The Lizard Head said, "That was the most prosperous and advanced civilization in the known universe; no other civilization could compare to them."

"They are advanced and civilized, powerful and noble. Although they possess overwhelming technology, they never bully the weak. However, they are very closed off, refusing to contact other civilizations and prohibiting other civilizations from approaching their area. Therefore, they have always been a taboo in the starry sky."

"Until several decades ago, they suddenly disappeared, and no one knows where they went."
