Chapter 161: Roger's Last Words/The Prophecy/Enlightenment
Bucky looked at Reilly suspiciously, "I don't understand what you mean by that......"
What does it mean to be "meaningless"?
Reilly reached out and stroked a pinch of silver-white beard from his chin, and looked at the scattered sand on the ground for a while before telling the truth.
"Roger's last words before he died, you are clear. According to this last word, later people deconstruct how to become One Piece into two conditions. ”
Reilly held out a finger: "First, sail the 'Great Route' at least once, as Roger did. ”
"Second." He held out a second finger, "Reach the end of the Great Voyage, find the Great Treasure, and open it." ”
This last word, along with Roger's performance-like execution, has spread all over the world and is a household name.
Reilly continued: "These two conditions are actually the same condition, because if you do not reach the end, you will not have completely sailed the great voyage. ”
"Ralph Drew." Bucky frowned, clasped his hands over his chest, and said a little depressed, "I know this, you've told me several times since you came back." ”
At that time, he did not have the opportunity to go to Ralph Drew with him, which was one of the great regrets of his life.
Reilly looked up at Bucky, "Before you left for Ralph Drew, you were ill and Shanks spontaneously chose to stay and take care of you. So neither of you has been able to see the truth about Ralph Drew. ”
Bucky remembers this vividly.
Shanks was willing to stay and look after him at such times, which is why he was willing to assist Shanks later.
However, the two had a strong difference of opinion, and finally broke up unhappily.
What does Mr. Reilly do when he brings up these old things, and where can he prove that Shanks is right?
Obviously, the big secret treasure is in Ralph Drew, and it's close at hand!
"Bucky, I understand your thoughts, you must think that as long as you go to Ralph Drew together, you can get the Great Secret Treasure, right?"
"Isn't it?"
Reilly sighed, he didn't want to say such a cruel thing.
But in order to untie the knot between Bucky and Shanks, and to prevent Bucky from doing something in vain, he can only let Bucky see the reality clearly.
"Not really. Because even our group at the beginning, after all the hardships to get there, failed to open the Great Secret Treasure, let alone you? We didn't make it clear to you about it, but Shanks probably knew about it from Roger. ”
"Didn't open the Great Secret Treasure?" Bucky's face changed and he asked, "Why is that?" ”
Could it be that the so-called Great Secret Treasure is a lie from beginning to end?
Reilly guessed what Bucky was thinking again, explaining:
"The Great Secret Treasure does have the truth of the world and the power to control everything in the world, they are supreme treasures and wealth. But, from beginning to end, it does not belong to us, nor to anyone in the world, or to all of us. ”
Reilly smiled wryly, and at the same time recalled the scene when Ralph Drew saw everything clearly and was relieved, laughing out loud and sad.
"I still don't understand what you mean." Bucky stared at Reilly, his whole body shivering, and the closer he got to the secret, the more scared he became.
"The Great Treasure is a huge treasure left behind by a man named 'Joey Boy' eight hundred years ago." Reilly explained, "The treasure belongs to him, and he can only open it. ”
"It is a great treasure that can unite the earth, reunite him with his old man, and allow the world to participate in a great feast. This is the simple and innocent idea of Joy Boe. ”
"Who is Joey Boe again?" Bucky looked incredulous, "If he left a treasure, why didn't he let others touch it?" What is the point of 'meeting with the deceased', what 'great feast'? ”
"Bucky, don't worry, listen to me."
"Joey Boy was a liberation fighter who brought freedom and laughter to the world 800 years ago, but he still failed to completely change the world, so he left behind a huge treasure waiting for future generations to open it."
And this descendant is the next Joey Boy...... Yes, Joey Boy is a name, and those who can inherit and reawaken this name will be able to open the Great Secret Treasure and have a huge treasure that will change the world. ”
"Joy Boy, after Ralph Drew gave a prophecy, the next Joy Boy will soon wake up and meet with the 'Aquaman', the time node is about twenty years later, so Roger sighed at the time, we came too early."
"Roger was seriously ill at the time, and his time was short, and he knew that he would not see the day when the Great Secret Treasure would be opened, so he gambled his life to make that crazy move and forcibly start the era of pirates."
"His purpose was clear from start to finish."
"Whoever Joy Boy is, this man must yearn for freedom and adventure, then he can't refuse Lovedrew's temptation."
"What Roger has to do is to guide him to Ralph Drew, and at the same time not let the Draconians notice about it."
"The awakened Joey Boy will go to the Great Voyage, he will go to Ralph Drew, a road that Roger has paved with his own life."
"Shanks probably knows most of the truth from Roger, and therefore understands that even if he goes with you, there is no point in going with Ralph Drew, unless one of you is Joey Boy."
Bucky pursed his lips and listened quietly, but his face became more ugly, and he said in a low tone:
"Why? What kind of Joey Boy is this, and why did he want Captain Roger to do it to this extent? ”
"Probably fate."
Reilly sighed again.
"You know, Roger and Mita, they often hear voices that we can't hear, and they hear a lot, and they believe it. These voices have indeed helped them survive life and death crises again and again. ”
In fact, like Roger, Ota also believes in this fate. You should know about Wano Country, right? He did not ask for help from any of us until he died, because he believed that twenty years later, Joey Boy would come to the rescue of Wano Country. ”
"He made up his mind to rebel against Kaido after receiving the news of Roger's death, but by that time he had lost the capital to resist......"
"Shanks is the same?"
"Shanks trusts Roger a lot." Reilly suddenly changed his words and said, "Did you know that Shanks lost an arm in the East China Sea? ”
"I saw it in the newspaper...... But I didn't say why, I was also in the East China Sea at the time, and I didn't hear who he was fighting with. Even if Hawkeye chopped off one of his arms, it should be a little bit of a wind to come through......"
"It's not 'Hawkeye' Mihawk, it's a sea king, and it's one of the very smallest. At that time, the sea king was about to attack a child, and Shanks gave away his arm to save him. ”
"How is this possible?!" Bucky stood up in surprise, "How could Shanks not be able to beat a sea king and give away all his arms?" ”
It's a big joke!
Bucky remembers that point in time, as he verbally loathed Shanks, but in fact he had been silently following Shanks' movements.
Although Shanks was not one of the "Four Emperors" at that time, he was already a famous pirate.
"Hawkeye" Mihawk can't take advantage of him, let alone a small sea king!
"That's what he said." Reilly made a final blow that made Bucky stand there dumbfounded.
"After Roger's death, Shanks has actually been investigating things about Joey Boy." Reilly met with Shanks from time to time, so he knew this, "Later, he finally found out that one of the prerequisites for awakening Joey Boy was to eat a specific Devil Fruit. ”
"Devil Fruits?"
"That's right, its full name is 'Animal Department, Human Fruit, Phantom Beast Species, Nika Form'." Rayleigh paused, and continued, "It also has an alias, 'Rubber Fruit.' ”
Bucky froze for a moment, then stared wide.
Shanks found out that the rubber fruit was in the hands of the CP organization under the World Government at that time, so he immediately took action and snatched it. However, by chance, perhaps by fate, it was eaten by a little boy. ”
"This boy is called Luffy. When he was about to be attacked by the Sea Kings, Shanks remembered Roger's consciousness at that moment. ”
So he deliberately gambled on his left arm and gave Roger's straw hat to Luffy, completely strengthening Luffy's determination to follow the path of a pirate and become the king of the pirates.
"In this big event in the Chambord Islands, I met several 'supernovas' with bounties of more than 100 million, but the one that impressed me the most was Luffy, who had a bounty of less than 100 million. I recognized the straw hat he was wearing. ”
"He struck down the Draconians in the Chambord Islands and attracted the 'Yellow Ape', which is an unsolvable death for him who is not strong. But, as it happens, I'm nearby, and so is the 'tyrant' Big Bear. ”
"I blocked the 'Yellow Ape', and the Big Bear flew them to other islands, as long as one of us was missing, the Straw Hat Pirates would not be able to escape with their whole body."
"After knowing that his grandfather was Karp and his father was a dragon, and he ate the rubber fruit, I was convinced that the Joey Boy that Roger was talking about was Luffy, so I ......"
"What are you kidding?!"
Bucky suddenly shouted.
Reilly was taken aback, and turned his head to see Bucky staring at him with scarlet eyes and trembling bodies.
