Chapter 45: The Little Garden
The main enemies have fallen, and the town below Whiskey Mountain has returned to calm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć After a short break, a group of people, under Nami's persuasion (deterrence), decided to accept Ikalem's commission to escort him and Princess Weiwei back to their homeland, the Kingdom of Alabastan.
Of course, to be able to make Nami make this decision, the reward is naturally indispensable. Anyway, it's also a princess, and Nami Lion opened her mouth to ask for a billion Bailey. In this regard, Weiwei also launched a woman's bargaining talent and repaid the money on the ground...... In the end, the two girls sold for 319 million Bailey.
As the sky dawned, a group of people boarded the Merry and set sail.
Rosho told them about his past with Robin on the boat, and the reason why they were going to the Kingdom of Alabastan.
"About twenty years ago. At that time, both Weishi and Robin were only seven years old...... Or is it six? I don't remember exactly, no matter what. Our hometown is an island called O'Hara in the West Sea. It is an island famous for its archaeology and the world's largest library. ā
Hearing that Luo Xiu was actually a scholar, everyone else was all on their faces: Why are you kidding me?!Especially Ikalem, he, the captain of the guard, Luffy, is simply a scumbag compared to them.
"Ha, although I have read a lot of books, but when it comes to scholars, only Robin has won that title. Luo Xiu smiled: "But the research of scholars has touched the sensitivity of the world's political axe. ā
"That's [the text of history]. Speaking of this, Luo Xiu's expression became very serious.
"[Historical text]?" a group of people said they had never heard of the name.
"Yes. Remember not to say the name nonsense. It's something that just knowing is going to get you into trouble. Luo Xiu admonished.
"Is that [historical text] something terrible?" Usopp asked, trembling.
"No, [the text of history] is just a stone that records a piece of history. ā
"Then why is the World Axe so afraid of that thing?" Usopp continued.
"[The text of history] itself is not terrible, what is terrible is what is hidden behind that history. Luo Xiu's tone didn't fluctuate much, but the people who listened to these contents had a certain feeling of palpitations: "You should all know that the history of the world now can be traced back to nine hundred years ago. However, the history that can be found in detail is only 800 years. In between, there is a gap of 100 years. ā
"Ah, I know this, in the history books I saw before, I also wondered why it suddenly disappeared for a hundred years. Nami raised her hand to speak.
"I know that too. I asked my father, but I don't know why, his expression was a little frightened, and he solemnly warned me not to care about the past. Vivi also said that she knew.
"You may not have noticed that the current world political axe was established 800 years ago. Why did all the previous historical clues disappear after the establishment of the World Political Axe?Don't you think there is a very huge secret behind this?" Luo Xiu still recounted very plainly, but the others had already felt a chill.
"O'Hara's scholars have discovered something hidden in that history that they will be targeted by the world's political axe. Eventually, the island was blown up by shells from Navy warships. The only scholars who escaped were Robin and me. ā
"......" everyone else fell silent. Ikalem, in particular, had heard something terrible about his curiosity! It was definitely a terrible secret that would make him disappear with their kingdom if he divulged the slightest bit!
However, Luo Xiu didn't finish speaking: "Speaking of which, my bounty is because I defeated two of the current three major admirals when I escaped." Obviously, he was only a lieutenant general at the beginning. Those two guys have been improving, too. ā
"Hmm, wait a minute!" Usopp keenly sensed that something was wrong: "Luo Xiu, you mean, you once defeated a figure at the level of an admiral?"
"yes. Any questions?"
"It's a big problem!" Usopp and Nami shouted in unison, "Doesn't that mean that once the Navy finds you on the ship, we will have to face the pursuit of a figure at the level of an admiral?!"
"Oh~ you guys say this. There is no doubt that as long as the people of the World Political Axe really want to capture me and Robin, they will at least send more than two general-level combat forces at the same time. ā
"......" the timid two people silently shed tears: "I want to go home......"
"Don't worry. Luo Xiu patted the two of them on the head: "I won't let you face the general so early." ā
In this way, after hearing about the enemies of Luo Xiu and Robin, and the purpose, a group of people with different thoughts moved towards the next island [Small Garden] and moved firmly.
Because Nami was good at sailing, she didn't dare to despise the great voyage anymore, and this time they went well. A few days later, they saw their second island on the Great Voyage: Little Garden.
"It's a nice place. Luo Xiu, who had fully recovered his body, stood by the side of the boat and breathed in the air floating from the island.
"But for Nami, Usopp and Vivi and Mr. Icalem, this island is dangerous. Robin said with a smile, something that made the four people mentioned in this sentence very concerned.
"Hmm...... I can feel that there are a lot of beasts on the island. Guina was familiar with the domineering use of seeing and hearing, and pointed to a big tiger bathed in blood on the shore not far away, and said worriedly.
"I ...... Suddenly he got sick and couldn't go to the island......" Usopp looked painful, saying that he was infected with a miraculous disease.
"Usopp, I think your illness is contagious to me......" Nami fell to the ground weakly.
"Sanji! Prepare me a pirate bento! I'm going to explore the island!" Luffy smiled as he looked at the dense rainforest.
"Why don't we go for a walk around it, maybe there's such an old place?" Luo Xiu asked Robin.
"Okay. Do you need me to use my abilities?" asked Robin with a smile.
"Hmm...... Use it before you go. Luo Xiu thought for a moment.
"What about the two men?"
"Leave it to Luffy. I have something else I want to look for. ā
"Why don't you see and hear?"
"It didn't work. Some things still have to rely on the eyes. ā
"You mean...... It's been a long time since I've seen you collect those things. ā
"yes, it's been a long time...... The road ahead is not easy. ā
"By the way, there is news from my mother that there is a new breakthrough in the historical text on that stone. ā
"Really?"
"Yes, listen to me tell you......"
At this time, somewhere in the [Little Garden], they found that there were long-lost guests near their home, and the two big guys decided to welcome them and let them feel the enthusiasm of the great Elbaf warriors!
And a few Baroque workers who still don't know the strength of their targets are also quietly lurking somewhere on this island......
