Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

The late emperor passed away before he had completed half of his career.

Good for you.

He appeared on the stage for less than three seconds.

It's about to be broken into pieces.

Shinji's inner world.

Jon complained in frustration.

Shinji was anxious and annoyed: "Is this the time to say this? Mr. Jon, please do something!"

After saying this, his eyes went dark and he completely lost consciousness.

the other side.

"How's Shinji?"

"Still alive...but seems to have lost the ability to move."

"Activate the backup plan."

"Unit Zero is ready to launch!"

"Understood, Unit 00 is ready to launch."

At this moment, the shaking on the screen made Misato Katsuragi slightly stunned.

"Wait, that's... Shinji?"

Other staff members also saw that Unit-01 had resumed its operation and exclaimed: "Shinji-kun can still pilot the machine even though it is so badly damaged? It's incredible."

Shinji?

Jon!

The young chef doesn't have that ability.

I've been in so much pain for a long time.

Mr. Qiao is different.

He said that the pain in the wind and rain was nothing.

Wipe your tears and don’t be afraid, at least we still have... Damn, this is a disloyal act, a sneak attack, eh?
John nimbly piloted Unit-01 to the side.

Although in the process of dodging, blood, restraint armor and the like were scattered all over the ground.

But at least he was not affected and dodged another ray attack from the Thunder Angel.

"I have a headache."

Jon uttered a 'tsk'.

It's easy to imagine that there must be a lot of talk about him in the base right now.

Ikari Gendō might even take advantage of the situation to make something out of it.

He intended to kill the Thunder Angel on the spot.

Because Shinji's body was too weak, he had to be the first to withdraw from the attack range.

The Thunder Angel did not stop him.

He concentrated on pulling out the drill, changing his job to a civil engineer, and started digging holes underground, trying to drill through the defensive steel plates of the base.

Return to base.

Misato Katsuragi and others who had gathered around were about to say something.

Meeting Jon's eyes.

They knew that Shinji must have been replaced.

"I ask you, how do you do the data collection work? Such a strong high-energy reaction, was it really not detected at all beforehand?" Jon sneered and began an indiscriminate attack before anyone could cause trouble for him.

Misato Katsuragi was speechless after being asked this question.

Was it a mistake?

Of course it was a mistake.

They couldn't even imagine how they would explain to the commander and all of humanity if Shinji died in the previous round of attacks.

Qiao En snorted coldly: "Is there anyone who can vent his anger? Can't you see how badly I'm injured? Come and give me a hand."

suspect?
Enlightenment.

Two staff members came over quickly, one on each side, and held Shinji up.

Took him to the medical bay.

However, during the period when Shinji was receiving treatment, there was an uproar in the outside world.

The first problem the base has to face is whether it can withstand the attack of the Thunder Angel.

How long will it take for that drill to break through the defensive steel plate?
Has been calculated.

Finally they came to a definite answer: three days.

If there is no major accident.

After three days, all protective steel plates will be breached.

In other words, they only have three days to act!

War meeting room.

Ikari Gendo strikes his classic pose: "How is Shinji doing?"

"It's just some skin injuries. I should be able to be discharged from the hospital soon."

Ikari Gendo nodded: "This way we can catch up with the battle with the Thunder Angel."

After hearing this, Kozuki Touzo laughed and said, "It was really dangerous. Such a fierce attack almost pierced through the cockpit. He was able to survive, all thanks to the blessing of God."

"God?" Ikari Gendō sneered, "There is no such thing as a god..."

He then asked, "Captain Katsuragi Misato, what did you want to tell me just now?"

"Borrow weapons. I need a positron cannon." Katsuragi Misato said firmly, "If we can kill the Thunder Angel in this way, maybe Shinji won't be needed."

"Have you ever considered the issue of at force field?" asked Gendo Ikari.

Misato Katsuragi said confidently: "According to Ritsuko's calculations, as long as we use a special frequency band, we can neutralize the force field of the Thunder Angel."

Hearing this, Ikari Gendō waved his hand and said, "Since you have an idea, just do it. The base supports all your actions."

This is the time for everyone to show off their abilities.

Although there is also Unit-00 and Rei Ayanami.

But after all, it has not been tested in actual combat, so it is not that reliable.

If anything goes wrong, it will be no joke!
After Misato Katsuragi left.

Ikari Gendo thought about it, said hello to his deputy, and went to the medical room with his hands behind his back.

Inside the cabin, Shinji wore a breathing mask and was soaked in a special healing solution.

There was a hint of complexity in Ikari Gendo's eyes.

Does he love his own son?

Have.

But it's awkward.

Knowing the stupid things Shinji did.

This love is even more awkward.

However, for public considerations, he still hopes that Shinji will be healthy and recover as soon as possible.

I don’t know if this feeling was reciprocated.

Shinji, who was unconscious the previous second, suddenly opened his eyes the next second.

They stared at each other across the glass panel of the treatment cabin.

Both of them were stunned.

laugh--

The door of the treatment cabin opens up and down.

Shinji sat up and took off the breathing mask on his face.

"How long have I been asleep?" he asked.

Ikari Gendō quickly calmed himself down, pushed up his glasses and said, "About a day."

"Have you slept for so long?" Shinji scratched his brow and sat up completely.

He looked at the newly grown pink skin on his chest and asked, "Apostle, how is the Apostle?"

"Still outside." Ikari Gendo had completely recovered his usual appearance and said in a deep voice: "Now that you are well, hurry up and drive the EVA. Because of your carelessness, such a big mess has occurred. Do you know how much loss we have to bear?"

A big question mark appeared above Shinji's head.

It’s none of my business. I was just following orders, but as soon as I stepped out the door, I was smuggled in the face. Can you blame me for that?

can survive.

It's just that I'm rich and have a good life.

It would be fine if you don't want to comfort me. But you are still complaining and whining.

Absolutely ridiculous!
"Instead of scolding me, you should urge the base staff to collect complete intelligence. I am the pilot of Unit-01, not a pawn that can be discarded. How can I be beaten back as soon as I go out? Don't you want to reflect on this?" Shinji snorted.

Don't tell me.

You really don’t want to say that.

This tone has one-third of Mr. Qiao's charm.

Ikari Gendo knew that Shinji was just recounting what happened that day, but something didn't sound right with what he said.

Who made the bigger mistake that day?

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell.

Feeling guilty, Ikari Gendō coughed and said, "The base always responds to your requests, and this is how you repay us?"

Speak the truth when it is in your favor.

When the facts are unfavorable, be reasonable.

When there is neither, muddy the waters.

Ikari Gendo secretly cooperates with Boxer Tendō, attempting to pua Shinji in return.

Shinji chuckled, not wanting to waste too much time on this issue.

He stood up carelessly and ordered Ikari Gendo, "Go get me some clothes."

Ikari Gendo thought his ears were hallucinating and tilted his head slightly.

Shinji couldn't help but emphasize his tone, "I'm telling you, go get me a new set of clothes. Why, do you want me to drive the EVA like this?"

Ikari Gendō stopped talking and was stunned for a long time before he left with his hands behind his back, muttering something like "this is outrageous".

Seeing his father gone, Shinji suddenly relaxed and breathed heavily.

"Mr. Jon, I did it!"

"Yes, this is the first step towards greatness. Congratulations on learning how to resist yourself."

"But instead of celebrating your temporary victory, you should think about how to clean up the mess you left behind."

The apostles were to be beaten.

Even if there are no conditions, we have to create them and fight.

After changing into the clothes sent by Ikari Gendo, Shinji hurried to the combat preparation room.

Look down.

Unit-01 has been almost repaired.

It must be said that the base is still efficiency.

Restraint armor and the like should be removed when necessary and replaced when necessary, without any ambiguity.

Seeing Shinji coming, Katsuragi Misato was pleasantly surprised, but also a little worried, and asked: "How is your health? Are you okay now?"

Shinji nodded, "Yes."

Misato Katsuragi breathed a sigh of relief.

Want to say something.

Suddenly realizing that every second counts, he suppressed his worry and said to Shinji, "In that case, you should sit on the chair for a while. When Zero comes, I will arrange the combat missions."

Shinji did as he was told.

Soon, another protagonist of the operation, Rei Ayanami, also arrived.

When she saw Shinji, a hint of complexity flashed across her eyes.

But she hid it well.

Katsuragi Misato didn't waste any words, she put her hands on her hips and said, "I will now announce everyone's combat arrangements.

Shinji, you will pilot Unit-01 and serve as the gunner.

Zero will be in charge of the defense in Unit 0."

Seeing that the two were silent, Katsuragi Misato deliberately explained: "The reason for this arrangement is that Zero has not really driven the EVA into the battlefield, and Shinji is better in terms of synchronization rate."

No, no one asked.

Shinji scratched his brow.

At this moment, he heard the voice in his heart, and he raised his hand weakly and said, "Well, after completing the mission of launching the electron cannon, can I move freely? I mean, if the Thunder Angel is not destroyed by then, can I use my own method?"

Misato Katsuragi blinked her eyes: "Is this what you want to say, or is this what Mr. Jon wants to convey to me through you?"

Shinji said truthfully: "Mr. Jon said so."

Katsuragi Misato thought about it, and exchanged a glance with Akagi Ritsuko who was taking notes not far away, "Why don't you ask him to come out, and I'll talk to him in person."

Shinji didn't say anything, but seemed to be communicating something.

After a moment, his aura suddenly changed.

Such an obvious change surprised Rei Ayanami, and her cold face was full of disbelief.

"Are you surprised? Are you happy? Ahem. Never mind. I'll tell you later. Now let's get down to business." Jon coughed lightly and looked at Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi: "Hello."

Again.

That feeling of disobedience came back again.

I told you, don't make such a frivolous expression with Shinji's harmless face!
Misato Katsuragi took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Jon, how are you? Thank you so much for helping us in the last battle."

"Nothing. After all, Shinji and I are close friends. No need to be so polite." Jon laughed and turned to talk about the Thunder Angel: "Do you want to destroy that guy with the positron cannon?"

"That's right." Misato Katsuragi admitted it generously.

After a pause, he said, "According to our observations, the Thunder Angel has a radar-like ability to detect nearby enemies. It can sense the enemies in advance. When the enemies arrive, it will immediately transform, gather the charged particles in its body, and then fire a powerful particle cannon. The power is enough to penetrate the AT force field and armor plate released by the EVA. It is a weapon that can destroy the EVA with one shot."

and so--

The conclusion is that you cannot engage in close combat.

"I don't want to comment on your battle plan, but..." Jon looked a little embarrassed: "Because of a small oversight, based on the concept of high-dimensional stereo projection to three-dimensional space, the current Thunder Angel may be a little stronger than the original destiny trajectory."

Katsuragi Misato: ???
Akame Ritsuko: ???
Ayanami Rei: ...

No. What is this person talking about?
It feels so weird.

"Higher dimension, three-dimensional real space, are you too?" Ritsuko Akagi couldn't help but asked.

Jon chuckled: "Guess."

I guess your sister is guessing.

Ritsuko Akagi frowned.

Although 'Mr. Jon' did not admit this fact, he did not deny it either.

This way.

'Mr Jon' might also be an apostle.

Thinking of this fact, her hair stood on end.

The strongest fortress is often breached from the inside. With a parasitic apostle on Shinji's body, doesn't that mean the entire base is not safe at all!
Misato Katsuragi also thought of this.

In fact, she thought more than Ritsuko Akagi.

Why did 'Mr. Jon' choose to expose himself at this time?

It was also specifically pointed out that the positron cannon might not be able to destroy the Thunder Angel. Could it be because there was some kind of strange competitive relationship between the apostles?

For example, 'Jon' might be an enemy of the Thunder Angel...

No, no.

We cannot forcibly impose human emotions on the apostles.

Maybe it was just a simple ruse to disrupt the battle.

After being interrupted by John, Misato Katsuragi became deeply worried about letting Unit-01 serve as the electron cannon shooter.

In order to fire the electronic cannon, the entire Neon must be powered off to supply energy for the electronic cannon. Don't turn the muzzle of the cannon at a critical moment and aim it at the base, or more bluntly, at a certain man with sunglasses in the base, which would be too much fun.

Katsuragi Misato thought about it and realized that this situation was not only possible, but also very likely...

So, she took a deep breath and looked at Rei Ayanami: "Zero, you will be the shooter of the positron cannon."

Jon:? ? ?
No, I was just kindly reminding you guys about how difficult Thunder Angel is. Why did you cancel my status as the main attacker?

This makes it very difficult for me.

Rei Ayanami didn't care about that. When she received the order, she nodded slightly.

Jon hesitated to speak.

Misato Katsuragi said, "This is a rare opportunity, Mr. Jon, would you like to talk to me more?"

"But fighting..."

Misato Katsuragi said, "The combat mission has been arranged, and we are just waiting for the final action. At least there is always time for a cup of coffee."

Jon stroked his smooth chin and said, "Then, will Ms. Ritsuko come along?"

Akagi Ritsuko nodded: "Of course." (End of this chapter)
