The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Wait a minute, everyone,"

Seeing that the Straw Hats were about to rush to trouble the BIG MOM Pirates, Duke Inuarashi, who was in charge of Zou during the day, had to stand up and stop Luffy and the others.

"If you are targeting 'One Piece', please follow me. There is one thing I want to show you."

?

Is it one of the four historical texts pointing to Ralph Drew? It seems that I don’t need to be a villain in vain. Roman quietly shook his five fingers, and a stack of rubbed documents disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, why did the situation develop to such a weird level in just one night?"

Trafalgar Law, who rushed over with a group of people, was speechless.

"Obviously I was going to prepare Lakaido to dismount, but the plan was ruined by you all in a mess. ——Now you are facing 'BIG MOM' again, your ability to make troubles is too strong, it makes me think what happened with you Nothing is surprising."

"Oh, Terran!"

Luffy waved happily.

"Let's pick up Sanji first, and then we'll beat Kaido!—Are those your friends?"

"That's right, a total of 20 'Heart Pirates'. Leave them alone, what do you guys think?"

Since coming into contact with the Straw Hat Pirates, Luo Gaoleng's character design has gone forever. so:

At least you can't let your subordinates not 'assimilate' these guys!

"Facing the Beasts Pirates and the BIG MOM Pirates at the same time... Forget it," and what this guy said to Luffy is false, and he probably doesn't have the nerve of caution in his mind, so:

"Roman, as the staff officer of the Straw Hats, isn't it too unwise?"

"No way, it's really not us who caused the trouble this time."

Roman shrugged.

"This time it was caused by Sanji's father, the 'king' of the Vinsmoke family. ——I will explain the details later, anyway, now that our chef has been taken away by the BIG MOM pirates, what do you think? Will Luffy's temper just sit idly by?"

"Forget it, then what are you going to do?"

"Of course, go directly to Wan Guo and bring Sanji back!"

I knew it! Luo protects his forehead with one hand, and feels that his whole body has started to spin. Do you think Wan Guo is a place where you can come and go whenever you want? It's a dead end.....

"I'm with you too—"

"No, Terran."

Luffy stretched out his hand to stop Luo's next words,

"The 'alliance' you made with us is to deal with Kaido together, but this time:"

"It's an internal issue of our Straw Hats. It's not a pirate's morality to involve a friend in it. Hee hee hee~~"

Facing the grinning Luffy, Trafalgar Law sighed.

"Okay, then I'll go to Wano Country and wait for you!"

"You have my life paper in your hands, don't make me wait too long."

"certainly!"

—————

"Uncle, are you taking us there?"

With Duke Inuarashi leading the way, shopkeeper Mobamushi, who was inactive during the day, also rarely walked behind the team. In the middle was a group of people from the Straw Hats and Luo, and the direction was on the left, corresponding to the right abdomen stronghold.

"Wow, what a big whale!"

"Stupid, that's just a big tree that looks like a whale."

"Follow the vines, and you will be able to reach the top of the 'Moby Whale Forest', and from there you can enter the inner space: that is the most secret place of our Zou."

Indeed, although this huge 'White Whale Forest' is very conspicuous, but because of this, no one would think that there is such a thing as a secret space inside. Is it the so-called 'darkness under the lights'? and:

"Is the entrance in such a place?"

At the position of the whale's tail, as a cat and a dog opened the secret door, a downward path appeared in front of everyone.

"Hee hee hee, what's in it?"

Luffy looked excited.

"I'm looking forward to it~~!"

Then you are doomed to be disappointed, Roman remained calm behind. ——As long as the specific location is known, there is no secret room that can't be reached with Roman's ability. You don't even need to use your hands: the "door door page" can pass through all defensive traps.

"Look at—"

As a group of people walked into the secret room below, a huge red stone tablet appeared in front of everyone.

"Look at this stele."

"History Text!?"

"Exactly, Nicole Robin." Duke Inuarashi turned to look at the intellectual beauty next to him, "I've heard about you: son of 'O'Hara', you can try to translate this stele."

"Huh? Can you—"

Even so, Robin's eyes have already involuntarily glanced at the stele, after all, the historical text is attractive to her...

"Please."

As Duke Inuarashi and Mamushir, both in straps, retreated to the side, Robin stepped forward to observe the stele carefully, and his face became more serious the more he looked at it!

"What's the matter, Sister Robin, is the translation difficult?"

Facing Nami's concern, Robin waved his hand.

"No, but the content of this stele... How about it, I will write down the translated information and show you. Mr. Roman——"

"OK,"

As Roman spread his hands, sheets of blank paper flew into Robin's hands. And as long as she holds the paper and "thinks" in her mind, rows of words will appear on the white paper simultaneously.

"this is···"

Nami, who took Robin's translation paper and glanced at it, also became serious.

"No matter how you look at it, these are the coordinates of the sea chart, right? Aren't the historical texts all recording "ancient weapons", or a hundred years of blank history?"

"Sure enough, you can understand."

The Duke of Inuarashi and the shopkeeper of the cat viper looked at each other. Although they have been a little bit of "old and dead" in the past 20 years, they are not awkward in front of the juniors who saved the whole country and are former partners. .

"This piece is 'Road Sign-Historical Text'!"

"It is the stele that guides those warriors who are constantly exploring the sea and the truth to the end of the 'Great Route'—"

? !

"Isn't that..."

Facing the surprised Straw Hats who reacted, Duke Inuarashi nodded.

"That's right, it's 'Ralph Drew'!"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Luffy's chin was stretched to his chest, although he shouted every day that he wanted to be the One Piece King, but:

"Does it say Ralph Drew is there?"

"Wouldn't it be that Luffy will soon become the Pirate King..."

"Wait, wait a minute. But—"

Once the word "but" appears, the previous words can basically be invalidated. Sure enough, the shopkeeper Mao Viper stretched out his cat's claws.

"There are four such 'signposts-historical texts'."

"Hey, there are four 'Ralph Drew'?!"

Snapped,

Facing the stunned Luffy, Usopp slapped him on the back of the head.

"How is it possible, people haven't finished their words yet!"

"That's right, the so-called 'Ralph Drew' is actually located at the intersection of the coordinates 'central' pointed to by these four red historical steles."

"But,"

Nami asks a new question.

"When we first entered the great route, didn't Uncle Kulkas of the Twin Gorges tell us that we would reach Ralph Drew along the 'record pointer'? Why..."

"You have met Krokas before,"

Duke Inuarashi expressed emotion, "He is right, when you follow the 'record pointer' all the way to the last island of the great route, you will see 'Need four road signs-historical text' on it to Find information on Ralph Drew."

"We're just telling you in advance, anyway—"

The cat viper shopkeeper next to him also had a look of emotion,

"Your 'strength' no longer needs to continue the voyage."

·········

"Is it finally here?"

Luffy clenched his fists, not knowing whether it was excitement, nostalgia, memories, or something else.

"It's on that island, does that exist..."

"The big secret treasure 'one piece'!"

"Very well, we'll be off in a minute—already got one!"

"The world is so big, where should I find others?"

Facing Usopp's question, Roman next to him raised a hand.

"If it's this kind of 'red historical text', I know the other two pieces are there."

?

"One piece is in the hands of Kaido of the Beasts Pirates, one piece is in the hands of 'Charlotte Lingling' of the Big Mom Pirates. And the last piece..."

Most of them are in the hands of that guy with black beard!

Don't forget that Blackbeard is an archaeologist himself. Roman didn't believe that he wasn't collecting these "signposts-historical texts". After defeating Kaido and Big Mom, there must be a battle between the Straw Hats and the Blacks. There is no doubt about it.

"That's it, just grab it!"

Luffy finally remembered his "Pirate" character design.

"It just so happens that we are going to take Sanji back, so let's grab the stele too!!"

···········

"Luffy, that's the Four Emperors! Think twice~~"

"That's right, believe it or not, I scared the shit out of me on the spot to show you—"

Chopper and Usopp, who hugged Luffy's thigh from left to right, had tears in their eyes. They were about to confront the Four Emperors so soon...why? If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have looked at this broken stone. It’s not too late to travel to the end of the great route and come back to look for it.

"There is no need to snatch the stele, most people just use 'rubbing' to copy the content. ——Many big figures in this world have such rubbings in their hands, so:"

Duke Inuarashi kindly reminded.

"Nicole Robin, you should also pay attention to your personal safety. Since you can understand the text of the history, many big figures will definitely have your ideas."

"It doesn't matter,"

Robin smiled.

"After all, I have so many powerful partners by my side to protect me."

"Hey, hey, you actually praised me so bluntly, it made me feel embarrassed~~"

Luffy with a monkey face;

"Even if you rely on others like this, they won't be happy~~"

Jiu-Jitsu strengthened Chopper;

"Don't touch Robin a finger!"

Usopp rises again;

"Don't worry, we are 'pirates'."

Roman shook his fist,

"Only we rob other people, there is no possibility for others to rob us!"

"Since you are so confident, then we don't have to worry about it." Duke Inuarashi and Shopkeeper Maomushi just said the same thing, and immediately turned their heads to each other with a cold snort.

"so be it,"

Luffy clapped his fists, full of fighting spirit.

"Let's go and turn that big mom's tea party upside down! Then grab Sanji and the historical signpost!!"

"You guys are really..."

Luo on the side was already tired and just wanted to lie down.

One of the majestic four emperors, you say it like a weak chicken. A huge country like Totland seems to be able to talk and go as soon as it is said...

"Don't panic,"

Roman 'comforts' him,

"I haven't fought before, who dares to say whether it is a victory or a loss?"

as long as you are happy!
