Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 530 In ancient times, speaking in plain language would lead to imprisonment!

"The Devil Fruit on the World Tree?!"

After listening to Luffy and others describe the scenes they saw in heaven, Akane and others immediately showed expressions of surprise.

Even Vegapunk was confused by this sudden news.

"That's weird. Obviously, the Devil Fruit will reappear immediately after the ability user dies. Why does the World Tree still produce Devil Fruits?"

"Moreover, the heavens were once the place where the giants worked for a long time. How come I have never heard the giants talk about this?"

Vegapunk lowered his head as if thinking.

Chihong, who was also thinking about the same thing, heard Vegapunk's doubts, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Doctor, is it possible that the number of devil fruits is not fixed, but increases every once in a while? "

"Huh!?" Vegapunk looked up suddenly and met Chihong's gaze.

In an instant, the two seemed to have an instant understanding.

Vegapunk then said:

"So the devil fruits that Luffy and the others saw were not the devil fruits known in the world today, but new devil fruits that have never appeared in the world!"

"That's right!" The light flashed in the red eyes, "Perhaps the so-called special environment that appears in the heaven every once in a while is a mechanism to protect the normal birth of devil fruits."

"According to your research, Doctor, the power of the devil fruit comes from the will of the creatures in this world, and the sun stone happens to have the ability to realize wishes and thoughts..."

"Maybe there is some connection between the two!"

"Well... your idea is very good!" Vegapunk praised and affirmed Chihong's idea.

"In other words, the World Tree or the top of the World Tree itself is a huge absorber of willpower, and these willpowers can be transformed into devil fruits with various abilities in some way."

"And because the wishes of the whole world are directed towards this, the nearly omnipotent mineral resource, Sunstone, was born in the heavens."

"And according to the time when the giants recorded the changes in the heaven, it is very likely that the World Tree will produce a batch of devil fruits every thousand years. In the long period of time before, the World Tree just absorbed these wishes..."

"Only in the last few years will the Devil Fruits emerge from the World Tree."

"At the same time, because the power of will collected over the past thousand years has dissipated, a special situation has occurred in the heavens, so that no one has ever witnessed the birth of a devil fruit!"

"No!"

At this moment, Chihong suddenly interrupted Vegapunk's monologue.

"Someone should have witnessed the birth of a devil fruit!"

As he spoke, Chihong's eyes turned and looked at the protective suits thrown to the ground by Luffy and the others.

"Since they can create such a sophisticated machine, I don't believe they have never entered the heaven under special circumstances!"

"Remember the mural in the Yang Realm?!"

Chihong looked around and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised.

During the ten days that Luffy and the others were away, Akane and the others certainly didn't just lie here for ten days in vain.

In fact, in these ten days, he has completely conquered Elbaf in the name of Straw Hat and loaded Pokémon templates for all the giant warriors.

The giant warrior, who already possesses a terrifying physique, will surely become a heavy sword under the Straw Hat in the near future by relying on the Pokémon template and cut through all obstacles for him.

Of course, that premise is that there will still be thorns ahead of the Straw Hat Pirates.

At the same time, Akahira also brought Uta to meet Shanks, and witnessed the famous scene where Uta slapped Shanks and then threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.

Thousands of words melted away in this slap.

Although Shanks's handling of the situation at the time was full of flaws, he did protect Uta and prevented the sin of destroying the country and countless lives from being blamed on Uta.

In the next few days, Uta stayed with the Red Hair Pirates and did not return.

The Red Hair Pirates also held a banquet for several days, on the one hand celebrating Uta's growth, and on the other hand celebrating the fact that their boss was defeated by a subordinate of Luffy's men!

For the Four Emperors pirate group, this was obviously an extremely shameful thing, but the laughter of the Red Hair Pirates resounded throughout Elbaf during those days.

In the end, it even attracted quite a few of the Straw Hat Titans and Elbaf's Titans to come over and celebrate together.

Although everyone's celebrations had different purposes, it allowed the entire Elbaf to quickly get out of the depressed atmosphere of defeat at the hands of the Straw Hat Fleet.

It was also at that time that Red took a thorough tour of the entire Elbaf, and naturally saw the ancient children's mural that Elbaf treasured.

The scene returns to this moment.

After Chihong's brief introduction, everyone's faces were filled with thoughtfulness.

Three worlds, three stories, yet all so inexplicable.

All I can say is that perhaps in the pirate world hundreds of years ago, telling the truth directly would have violated the laws of heaven.

So even though things can be explained clearly in just a few words, no matter whether they are recorders, writers, prophets, or revolutionaries, they all seem to be unable to speak without being mysterious.

This naturally makes people in later generations rack their brains, but they are unable to guess what the true history is like.

"The earth is bathed in fire, the forest is rid of demons, the promised day..."

"Red, do you remember Kaido's subordinate!?"

Usopp suddenly looked up as if he suddenly remembered something and said to Akane.

"Are you talking about Jin, one of the Three Calamities?" Chihong answered with a question.

Usopp nodded, "Yes."

"I remember you once said that Jin's race seemed to have the power to control fire, and that they were once called "Gods"..."

"Do you think that the first world mentioned in the mural is the time when that race ruled over humanity?!"

"The Lunalia tribe?" There was a thoughtful gleam in the red eyes. "If it's them, it should be very likely!"

"This point coincides with the mural in the secret room of the Giants' castle!"

"Perhaps the Lunaria tribe is one of the moon people who once descended on this planet."

"After they left here, they relied on their powerful strength and technology to rule the entire human world."

"As for the forest demon exorcism mentioned in the second world~"

Chihong looked into the distance at the thick branches of the World Tree.

"In this world, there should be nothing that can better represent the forest than the World Tree, right!?"

"That is to say, the ancient saying of [Forest Demons] is actually the Devil Fruit born from the World Tree..."

"As for the so-called third world, it should be the period we are in now, right?"

"Oh my! What a mess!!!"

Just when everyone was discussing heatedly, Luffy, who had no chance to get a word in, suddenly shouted.

Then he scratched his head vigorously with both hands and said in a distressed manner:

"What history, what prophecy, it's too complicated!"

"Devil Fruits aren't important to us anyway, right, Red!?"

"Why are we wasting time on this!" "We have got the last coordinate, let's go find [ONE PIECE]!!!"

Seeing Luffy looking extremely distressed, Akahira and the others suddenly stopped their discussion.

There was a gleam in his red eyes, and he opened his mouth to say something, but finally stopped.

Of course he could feel it. How could Luffy be bothered by his friends discussing history?

He should be...feeling annoyed about his destiny which has never actually happened but has already been determined! ?
From the moment he set out to sea, Luffy had decided to be the freest person in the world.

But as they gain more knowledge and come into contact with deeper things in the world, there are many signs that...

Many things about Luffy have been predicted by prophecy, and if it weren't for the appearance of Red, he would have changed from a "free man" to a "free man controlled by fate"!
How could Luffy not feel annoyed by something that went against his original intention?

It was obvious that everything he did was of his own will, but he discovered that all his wishes had actually been written into the prophecy.

Miraculously, he ate the Nika fruit disguised as the rubber fruit, and under the influence of Shanks, he inexplicably gave birth to the idea of ​​becoming a pirate. He happened to have a partner who could interpret the correct position of history and understand the blank 100 years of history...

Awaken the power of Nika, liberate Wano Country, and become the opposite of the World Government...

Although many things here did not go according to the prophecy due to the appearance of Red, Luffy had heard Red talk about many things that he had predicted a long time ago.

Luffy is not completely without any thinking ability.

He and other companions could imagine that if Chihong had not appeared, everything above would have come true one by one as the prophecy said!

The pirates who aim for [freedom] are actually being shackled by the shackles of [fate]. This is really against Luffy's original intention!

"Well, speaking of this history, it's indeed a bit weak."

As his thoughts flashed, Chi Hong suddenly felt like he was playing a script-killing game. He raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled:
“No matter how amazing and interesting things have happened in this world, with our current power, they seem to be nothing.”

"Earthquake? Tsunami? Or heavy rain?"

"Destroying the world or saving the world, it seems to be just a matter of time for us, right?"

“Rather than exploring history, it is more suitable for us to create the future!”

"That's right!"

Zoro, who had not participated in the discussion, suddenly spoke up at this time and expressed his strong support for Red's idea.

History or something? It's all things that have happened.

Now that the incident has occurred, what can their in-depth investigation bring them?

If they have that much time, they might as well practice hard!
Among the crowd, only archaeologist Robin was interested in this period of history.

However, as the Straw Hat Pirates' horizons expanded, Robin's thinking was naturally no longer limited to that blank hundred years.

Rather than exploring the history of human society, Robin would rather explore something more ancient.

For example, why did this world give birth to so many races, why did some races become extinct while others survived to this day, why did a world that was once a continent suddenly become an ocean...

The history of this planet is one of the things Robin really wants to know now.

Why do you say it is one of them?
Because compared to a mere planet, the past in the vast universe is what Robin is more curious about.

Unconsciously, Robin has transformed from a literary archaeologist into a cosmic archaeologist gazing at the stars!

Compared with these things, a mere hundred years, no matter what happened during that time, seems not that important.

Soon, led by Luffy and Akane, the topic of the discussion suddenly changed.

"Nami, we have found the last landmark. Can we determine the location of the final island, Raftel?"

"Of course!" Nami smiled playfully, "In fact, while you were discussing historical stories just now, I have successfully found the location of Raftel."

"I just saw that you were discussing so passionately that I didn't interrupt you."

"What!? You've found the final island!?"

This time, it was the turn of the other Straw Hat guys to marvel at Nami's efficiency.

In any case, the final island has great significance for this world or this era.

Even the members of the Straw Hat Pirates today cannot help but be shocked.

"So what are we waiting for!? Let's get going!"

Luffy stood up directly, his two big round eyes shining brightly.

"I've been waiting for you to say that, Captain!"

Nami kept the smile on her face, and then she snapped her fingers suddenly.

The next moment, the Merry, which had arrived near the island cloud area at some point, slowly rose from under the island cloud and revealed its head.

Because the current Merry is too large and far beyond the capacity of the temporary island cloud area created by Vegapunk, the Merry has been docked in Elbaf before.

Now that she suddenly appeared, it was obvious that she had been in contact with Nami for a long time.

"Good morning, everyone~"

"I heard someone say the word [departure]?"

The graceful and even charming Merry suddenly appeared, sitting on the railing and looking down at everyone.

"Merry!"

Seeing Merry appear, Luffy instantly became more excited.

Then he scored twice, three times, four times...

One of Luffy's arms suddenly stretched out and grabbed the railing of the Merry, while the other arm was like a nimble little snake, wrapping around everyone.

At this moment, the Straw Hat guys who were familiar with Luffy's actions had naturally guessed what he was going to do, and their faces immediately became embarrassed.

But Luffy's current strength is enough to prevent anyone from having any chance to react.

Whoosh! ! !
The next moment, the Straw Hat guys wrapped in Luffy's arms packed up and took off.

At the same time, Luffy also had a laughing expression on his face.

"Merry, set sail!!!"

"Yes, Captain!!!"

Rumble, rumble...

The huge battleship, Merry, started up suddenly and set sail quickly as if it was galloping in the sea of ​​clouds.

The endless energy from the Mother Fire provides the Merry with terrifying power.

Even though it has a huge body, it does not affect its moving speed at all.

As a result, Luffy, who used the elastic force to board the ship, was hung behind Merry for a moment.

The Straw Hat guys who were hung behind Luffy were naturally in a more embarrassed posture, hanging far away in the air.

"This bastard! I'm going to chop/beat him to death!!!"
