One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Mechanic

Although he was very reluctant, Carl still couldn't bear to leave Luffy there.

After hesitating for a while, he carried Luffy on his back and returned to the cliff where he had been fishing. He put away all his tools and got off work early today.

Although there was no harvest, at least there was some food stored at home, so it was no problem to survive for a few days. After walking for more than an hour, Carl, who was panting, finally carried Luffy back to his cabin in the woods.

It was called a house, but it was more appropriate to say that it was a matchbox at best. After all, Carl had never learned how to build a house in either his previous life or this life. At most, he had watched a few documentaries on wilderness survival, and it was already very good to be able to build one like this.

For Carl, having a place to live was already very good. At least it could bring him some comforting sense of security on this deserted island.

"By the way, how long has this guy been hungry for?"

Karl looked at Luffy sleeping soundly on the simple earthen bed and couldn't help but complain.

Due to the times, when he was born in his last life, hunger had been basically eliminated in the country, so he didn't care about things like fainting from hunger. He had only seen it in some books and movies, and in this life, since he woke up, Luffy was the first living person he met, so naturally this kind of thing was also the first time he encountered it.

"Alas~~ It's actually not bad to have someone to talk to, but as for being a partner, forget it.

Carl sighed. Although it was tempting to join the protagonist group, he had already realized it after experiencing the beatings of society and the cruelty of reality in his previous life.

Since God has given him another chance, he can't waste it. He must live a comfortable life.

As for fighting and killing, forget it. He is the one who is powerless, let alone killing people. He is a law-abiding young man in the new era.

As for pirates, let alone.

Although he didn't live a very happy life before, his moral education was not neglected. Although he had imagined countless times that he could become a chivalrous hero who would help the weak and injustice, he still couldn't bear to attack innocent people. The

Confucianists pinching the ribs and the Legalists strangling the throats that ordinary people ridiculed might be talking about him.

Although he knew in his heart that he was in a new world, in this world, those previous standards had no binding force on him.

But...Some things cannot be done just because you figured them out.

After staying on this isolated island for nearly three months, Carl was in a daze most of the time, daydreaming, so he figured out some things.

He figured out why the ruling class chose Confucianism, and why the Qin Dynasty, which chose Legalism, collapsed so quickly.

Because in this new world, when the former legal provisions became a thing of the past and lost their binding power, the Confucian education that was not obvious became the biggest shackle that restricted him.

Physical shackles can be broken, but ideological confinement is difficult to erase. Even if you start over again, even if you travel to a new world, its influence will follow you like a shadow.

After all, he...Still can't make myself a decisive person.

This is why he refused Luffy's invitation so resolutely at first.

Decisive killing and overwhelming power may sound good, but for Karl, it would be nice to just think about this kind of thing in his dreams.

These days, he has also thought about his future and where he is going. Through the memory of the original owner and some short videos he watched in his previous life, he has roughly pieced together the world's worldview and current situation.

Pirates are the mainstream of the current era. This era is called the Great Pirate Age for no reason. If there is one person in this world that we love, then that person must be a pirate.

Just like what was written in Journey to the West in the previous life, the entire plot of Journey to the West is a microcosm of the prosperity of Buddhism and the decline of Taoism.

When Carl was reading Journey to the West in his previous life, he thought about it: Why didn't those Taoist big shots stop it even though they knew it? To sum up, it is nothing more than a change in the will of heaven, which cannot be violated by human power.

Applying this set of rules to the world of One Piece is probably the same.

Even if the will of heaven changes, the last darling of this era, the person who will hand over the two eras, will definitely be a pirate, and a pirate's final glory.

And everyone must already know who this person is.

Karl looked inside the room and saw the figure sleeping soundly behind the half-open door.

Without him, Luffy, the protagonist, will undoubtedly become the last Pirate King. As for what the next era will be, it is unknown.

After all, as far as he knew, it seemed that the One Piece manga had not been updated before he was struck by lightning and traveled across time.

Although Karl guessed the general trend of the world, he still had no intention of getting involved personally.

To be honest, it was still the influence brought to him by his previous life.

After experiencing a double beating from society and reality, he had already seen through it all and understood that he was never a destined son, nor a peerless genius, but at most an ordinary person.

How can you let an ordinary person who already has self-awareness compete for the only position and become the center of attention?

If you live an ordinary life, you are already very powerful!

The option of pirates has been passed away, and the opposite is the navy.

Karl was not very interested in this option, because he had seen some short videos about the navy in his previous life, which probably said that the interior of the navy was extremely dark. Karl was very open-minded about this. After all, if the navy was not dark, How can we highlight the brightness of the protagonist?

After all, the protagonist cannot be made into a big villain, as that would lead to bad things for children, so the darkness and depravity of the navy can only be used to set off the justice of the protagonist who is a pirate.

For Carl, being in the navy means having an iron rice bowl. It sounds good, but the reality may not be as good as imagined.

If you happen to meet a villain's boss, or bump into the protagonist group, or go to defeat pirates, no matter which one is a precarious mission.

For Karl, whose ultimate goal is to live well, this is obviously not the best choice.

In his opinion, the best result is to do some small business, open a small shop, earn some money and wait until death.

Karl is still very confident about this. Apart from anything else, as a man from the great celestial dynasty, it is not too much to open a restaurant in another world.

Oh, by the way, it's best to open the store to the Navy Headquarters, so you don't have to worry about being robbed by pirates.
