Pirates: The Mechanic of the Straw Hats

Although he was very reluctant, Carl couldn’t bear to leave Luffy where he was.

After some hesitation, he carried Luffy on his back and returned to the cliff where he originally fished. He put away all his tools and got off work early today.

Although there was no harvest, there was still some food stored at home, so it would be no problem to last for a few days.

After walking for more than an hour, the panting Carl carried Luffy back to his cabin in the forest.

It is said to be a house, but at best it is more appropriate to say it is a matchbox. After all, Carl has never learned to build a house in either his previous life or this life. At most, he has watched a few episodes of wilderness survival documentaries. It is already pretty good to be able to build something like this.

For Karl, having a place to live is already very good. At least it can give him some 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.

“Sigh~~ It’s actually good to have someone to talk to. As for being a partner or something, forget it.

Karl sighed. Although joining the protagonist group was very exciting, he had already realized it after experiencing the beatings from society and the cruelty of reality in his previous life.

Since God has given him another chance, he cannot waste it. He must be comfortable and live his whole life lying flat.

As for fighting and killing, let’s forget it. He is the one who is said to be powerless, let alone killing. He is a law-abiding young man in the new era, okay?

As for pirates, let alone that.

Although his previous life was not very satisfactory, his moral education has not fallen behind. Although he has fantasized countless times that he can become a hero who will do justice and draw a sword to help when the road is rough, he is still ruthless when it comes to innocent people. Don’t give up.

The Confucian pinching ribs and the Legalist choking that ordinary people ridicule may be talking about him.

Although he also knew in his heart that he was now in a new world, in which the previous standards had no binding force on him. but…Some things are not something you can do just by thinking about them.

After staying on this isolated island for nearly three months, Karl spent most of the time in a daze and thinking wildly, so he also figured out something.

I want to understand why the ruling class chose Confucianism at that time, and why Da Qin, which chose Legalism, moved so quickly.

Because in this new world, when the legal provisions of the past have become the smoke of the past and have lost their ability to restrain, the humble Confucian education has become the biggest shackles that restrict him.

The physical shackles can be broken, but the mental shackles are difficult to erase. Even if you do it again, even if you travel through a new world, its influence will always be with you.

After all he…Still can’t make myself a decisive person.

This was also why he so resolutely rejected Luffy’s invitation 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 the epitome 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 just 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, as 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 child of destiny, 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 Karl, 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 run into the protagonist group, or go to fight against pirates, no matter which one, it will be 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.
