Chapter Forty-Eight: The King's Ship That Conquered the World
"So, this is Ralph Drew?"
It's just a small dirt slope 100 meters square, not as strange as imagined, but the light and shadow of the sea water there are quite strange, illuminating the original gray-blue and dim sea bottom light, and the nearby sea water vortex swirls rapidly, turning towards this bubbling and angry, and the bubbles are colorful, but it can also glide over the dark island.
The scene captured by human vision is just a presentation constructed by each person's self-imagination, and then given the so-called concept by the limited wisdom of human beings, so "chaos" is not pitch black, but a constantly changing colorful color that human beings distort and understand, sometimes brilliant and gorgeous, sometimes obscure, sometimes fresh like a fairyland, and sometimes secluded like a ghost.
This is the legendary dream void that does not exist in this world and the next, and there is an independent island in the vastness of time and space, the unreachable end of the world, the location of a unique great treasure.
- Onepiece, at your fingertips!
Although I am so sure in my heart, my feet don't seem to belong to me, and I walk in that direction step by step, as if I take it for granted, this is like a dream-like unreal feeling, as if there is a door waiting for me to open in my heart, and I am already standing outside the door, all I need is to reach out and push it away, the unprecedented depression makes Ace a little hesitant at this time, but it is so irresistible.
"Ralph Drew, it's right in front of you!"
At this moment, Ace's hand seemed to have been summoned by some kind of summons, a mysterious and inexplicable impulse, and gently pushed open the door that did not exist.
"Click!"
My feet have set foot on this land that no one has stopped in 20 years!
Well, the soil is not as soft as imagined, after all, it is an island of legends that has carried countless years, and there is a sense of vicissitudes of history, thinking of this, Ace bowed slightly, grabbed a ball of soil casually, and was silent.
"What are you doing?"
Lilith whispered in her ear, her eyes confused and helpless, no longer cunning and intelligent, and even a little panic······
"I'm just thinking about ······" Ace closed his eyes, his hand clenched tightly for a moment, and the dirt slowly slipped down the gap between his fingertips, "What exactly does the so-called 'Great Secret Treasure' mean?" ”
- Because here, nothing!
There are no legendary golden treasures, no ruins full of various historical vicissitudes, no ancient weapons that can easily shake the world, what is here is just ordinary soil, or is it a great secret treasure that has been praised by the world for more than 20 years, the last island of the great route, is it a scam in the end?
"'The Great Secret Treasure'? It's ridiculous, I thought it would be some kind of great guy this time, but it turned out to be just three or two kittens. ”
In the darkness, a cold voice suddenly appeared, full of undisguised mockery.
"Who is it?"
The three of them were all taken aback, and they could quietly avoid their probing nerves, unless it was a person whose strength had reached the level of the Four Emperors, it was delusional!
The voice didn't care what they thought, but continued, "Human beings define an unknown thing, and then constantly revise that definition, trying to unlock the secret of the changing operation of the world's composition, but when encountering something that exceeds the definition, human beings themselves react not to accept but to exclude, and this disagreement itself imprisons human beings' own inquiry." ”
"Oh, listen to your tone, are you not human?" Ace's face became more and more heavy, and he carefully probed everything around him, and sure enough, behind a dirt slope in front of him, there was a slight smell of living creatures.
"Isn't it? Human knowledge and understanding constitute human limitations, and human beings rely on it but are constrained, and human cognition is only illusory in the end! Onepiece has always been just a fantasy of human beings, there has never been such a thing here! ”
"Pretend to be a ghost, come out for me!" Ace burst into trouble, his right fist swung out a fiery and tyrannical red flame, and the dirt slope in his field of vision suddenly exploded, and the dust suddenly rolled, and the sand and stones splashed everywhere, but when he finally had a chance to look at that place, the whole person stopped his movements strangely.
Including Lilith, the three of them could see clearly that there was no half a figure behind the scattered dirt slope, and there was only a dilapidated ship, covered in mud and sand, scarred, undoubtedly an abandoned ship, and the flag of the mast told them at the same time that this was a true pirate ship.
"There's actually a pirate ship in Ralph Drew? Could it be that there is anyone else who has been here besides One Piece? Wait, that flag is ······"
The pirate flag with a dark red background, with a bearded skull symbolizing death and disaster, may not be brilliant in itself, but it is an ordinary flag, but it is a symbol of the times.
"It's One Piece Gore D. Roger's pirate ship!?" Ace's eyes widened suddenly, revealing real shock and panic, for a moment, his mind was extremely complicated, and he couldn't imagine that the pirate ship that conquered the world twenty years ago was finally buried here!
"But what's the sound just now, could it be that this ship is talking?" Lilith voiced her guess, but she didn't want the sails to blow without wind the next moment, and a burst of mysterious voices echoed in their respective heads.
"That's right, it's just that I'm talking."
Just a few words, but they almost froze their breath.
"You can call me, Golden Jackson."
"It's the Spirit of the Ship······" Ace's face was solemn, and when he said this, he also became solemn.
The spirit of the ship is a legend handed down by sailors all over the world, mysterious and beautiful,—— ship has a soul like a person, but only those who really cherish and care for the ship can see the spirit of the ship, just as people cherish the ship, the ship will also love those sailors······ It's just a legend, a legend that people can't believe but it's true.
"The Golden Jackson? It's really his pirate ship, and it will give birth to the spirit of the ship. Ace stroked the dilapidated hull, cold and wet, as if pouring out the glorious years of the ship, "Why are you here?" Shouldn't you have left Ralph Drew with One Piece's team? ”
"No, I'm coming back here on my own." Even though the ship spirit was disembodied, Ace could still feel the sadness in its words.
"Do you know what kind of pain it is? As a ship, it can no longer continue to sail on the sea, but can only watch itself decay and destroy ······"
"I'm sorry, I'm human, and I can't understand the pirate ship's desire for seafaring." Ace bowed slightly, and there was a hint of depression in his voice, "But I can understand a pirate who is obviously a pirate, but can't roam freely in the sea, because I'm a landlubber, if you compare it, maybe the two concepts are similar." ”
"It's a nostalgic tone, hahaha······"
A long laugh gradually came from the void, and Ace smiled as well.
- Should it be said that it is worthy of One Piece Roger's pirate ship, the Golden Jackson?
