Robin, however, still stared at the line of text, her brows tightly furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.
She gently bit her lower lip, her gaze sweeping towards the poneglyph at the base of the belfry, and slowly said:
...Speaking of poneglyph, there are two types of stone tablets.
One is used to record information, while the other... is used to indicate its whereabouts.
Her tone gradually grew serious: "And this one is a poneglyph that records information."
When she looked back at the line of text Roger had left, her heart suddenly pounded violently.
—'Guide this text to the Final Land'.
"Guide...?" Robin repeated in a low voice, her eyes suddenly trembling.
A startling conjecture surfaced in her mind!
She widened her eyes, her lips trembling slightly, and exclaimed, "Could it be...!!!"
Seeing her so shocked, everyone anxiously asked, "What's wrong, Robin?!"
Robin suddenly turned around, her gaze burning as she looked at everyone, her tone more resolute than ever:
—The so-called true 'poneglyph' is not just one stone tablet, but all the poneglyph scattered across the world!
She took a deep breath, her expression invigorated:
If we can connect them and read them, we can piece together the complete 'Lost History of the Hundred Years'!
That is to say—the true 'poneglyph' is an entire article composed of countless stone tablets!
—As soon as these words were uttered, everyone was stunned again!
"Wh-what?" Nami covered her mouth in shock.
Zoro's brows furrowed even tighter, and he slowly said:
...That is to say, it's impossible to deduce the complete history by just deciphering one poneglyph?
"Exactly!" Robin nodded excitedly.
This is also why, even if the World Government erased the 'Void Century' eight hundred years ago, they still couldn't completely cover up the truth!
Because true history does not exist in isolation.
Instead, it must be deciphered by connecting the content of each stone tablet to reveal the complete past!
Lin Ning looked at Robin profoundly, and slowly nodded:
I see... That is to say, Pirate King Roger has already guided this history to the Final Land.
Robin gently closed her eyes, her voice low and powerful:
...The Pirate King did transmit this text to Raftel!
The air seemed to solidify for a moment.
—Raftel!
That is the destination of the 'Great Treasure Trove', the only island that knows the 'true poneglyph'!
Everyone gasped.
"That is to say..." Sanji slowly began,
As long as we follow all the poneglyph, we will eventually reach the true 'historical endpoint'?
"Exactly." Robin's lips curved slightly upward.
Her eyes sparkled with an unprecedented light, "This is the true clue to the 'Void Century'."
—The truth of the world is hidden in the Final Land!
Luffy clenched his fists tightly, a wide grin spreading across his face.
"Hehehe... Sounds like fun!"
He lifted his head, his eyes as firm as burning flames:
Since Pirate King Roger could get there, then we definitely can too!
Zoro slowly drew his wado ichimonji, revealing a Haki smile:
In that case, let's continue towards the 'Final Land'.
Nami looked at the sea chart in her hand, took a deep breath, her eyes filled with immense determination:
That's right, we are the Straw Hat Pirates!
Although Usopp was nervous, he still patted his chest, feigning composure:
Hmph hmph... Anyway, with me, Sniper King, along the way, there's definitely no problem!
Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke, chuckled, and said, "Then let us witness the 'true history of the world' with our own eyes."
Lin Ning stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze as deep as the stars, and he slowly spoke, his voice steady and powerful:
Since the history the World Government wants to conceal is ahead—
—Then let us uncover it!
Nami stood before the majestic Golden Belfry, her hand on her forehead, her brows tightly furrowed.
This behemoth was almost twice the size of the going merry!
The dazzling gold reflected blinding light in the sunlight, making it dazzling, but also plunging Nami into unprecedented trouble.
She crossed her arms and sighed:
Speaking of which... how are we supposed to take all this gold with us?
The Golden Belfry itself is ridiculously large.
The going merry's carrying capacity is simply not enough!
"Gold... too much, can't fit?"
The moment she said this, Nami froze.
She never dreamed that one day she would be troubled by "too much gold."
She even couldn't help but look up at the sky, muttering speechlessly, "What on earth is wrong with this world..."
Lin Ning, however, said calmly:
It's clearly unrealistic to take such a large Golden Belfry with us; let it continue to guard the poneglyph.
As for Eneru's golden ship underneath, we can only take a portion.
"Huh?" Nami suddenly snapped back to reality, her face full of despair.
"You, do you even know how valuable this is!?"
Sanji, however, nodded thoughtfully:
Indeed, let's leave this Golden Belfry here.
As for the golden ship, we can cut it up and take a portion first.
The rest can be buried, and we'll come back to dig it up when we have a bigger ship later.
"You bastard!!!"
Usopp suddenly became emotional, jumping up and angrily grabbing Sanji's collar:
"What do you mean by that?! Are you saying we should abandon the going merry?!"
"Ah? N-not that..." Sanji quickly waved his hands to explain.
"I mean, we need to find a way to take the gold, not that we're giving up on the going merry..."
"But what you just said sounded like we're going to change ships!"
Usopp stared intently at Sanji, his eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
His hands trembled slightly, clearly a bit out of control emotionally.
Everyone instantly quieted down, and a strange sense of heaviness permeated the air.
The going merry—this small going merry—carried the Straw Hat's dreams, memories, and bonds.
To them, it was not just a ship, but a "nakama."
"Usopp..." Nami called softly, trying to calm him down.
"Alright." Luffy suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, his tone firm:
Let the Golden Belfry stay here, cut up the golden ship, take what we can, and bury what we can't.
At this point, Luffy's eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward:
Then, we'll make a Treasure Map!
"Treasure Map?" Nami was startled, her eyes lighting up.
"Treasure Map?!" Chopper immediately jumped up and down excitedly.
"Alright, alright, I'll draw it, I'll draw it!"
Usopp's anger instantly vanished, and he leaned in, his eyes shining:
Hehehe, of course, this kind of thing should be done by the great Master Usopp!
Nami looked at the two excited people and couldn't help but laugh, thinking—these guys really are... Lin Ning stood in front of the Golden Belfry, looking around, and slowly said:
The Treasure Trove has been found, the adventure has been experienced, and even the Treasure Map has been drawn...
It's time to leave Sky Island.
Upon hearing this, Luffy's lips curved into a bold smile, and he suddenly waved his hand: "Alright! Let's go!"
