I, Kizaru, only came to the chat group after I became invincible

Chapter 405 Continuous Practice

Robin, in particular, is always fascinated by ancient ruins and is likely to venture into dangerous places.

"I'll go check on the situation."

Borsalino made his decision.

"If Luffy and the others come back, tell them I went to find Nami and Robin."

"OK!"

Chopper nodded obediently.

Borsalino stepped out of the restaurant, his body instantly transforming into light and disappearing from the deck.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the port of Sage Town.

Have you seen two girls?

He asked the port administrator.

"One has orange hair, and the other has long black hair."

"Oh, you mean the two ladies who came yesterday?"

The administrator immediately thought of Nami and Robin.

"They stayed at the Sage's House Hotel last night."

"But he left early this morning, apparently heading to the mountains in the north."

"The mountainous area to the north?"

Borsalino felt even more uneasy.

What are they going there for?

"I don't know about that."

The administrator shook his head.

"However, they brought a lot of exploration equipment, so it seemed like they were going to some dangerous place."

Borsalino immediately went to the House of the Wise Inn.

The innkeeper recognized him as one of Nami and Robin's group as soon as she saw him.

"You're here to see those two ladies, right?"

The proprietress said worriedly.

"They set off early this morning, saying they were going to the caves in the North Mountain."

"The caves of Beishan?"

Borsalino pressed for an answer.

“What is that place?”

"It's that cursed cave from legend."

The proprietress's expression turned serious.

"It's said there's an ancient stone tablet inside, but many people who have gone there have never returned."

"That's where the Sage Marcus disappeared three hundred years ago."

Upon hearing the words "ancient stone tablet," Borsalino immediately understood.

Robin must have gone to that dangerous place to study the Poneglyphs.

"Could you tell me the exact location?"

he asked seriously.

"Leave the town through the north gate, walk along the mountain path for two hours, and enter the cave after you see the waterfall."

The proprietress said worriedly.

"But that place is really dangerous; you're going alone."

Thank you for reminding me.

Borsalino interrupted her.

"I must go find them."

After saying that, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

Borsalino sped along the mountain road, his unease growing stronger.

Although he usually appears lazy, he never takes his partner's safety lightly.

Robin, in particular, has a special identity, and if she is found to be researching the Poneglyphs, the consequences will be severe.

Twenty minutes later, he saw the waterfall.

The waterfall cascades down from a great height, its roar deafening.

There is indeed a dark cave entrance behind the waterfall.

“This is it.”

Borsalino walked to the cave entrance and found fresh footprints on the ground.

It appears that someone did indeed enter this cave recently.

Without hesitation, he walked straight into the cave.

The cave was dark, with only a faint light shining in from the entrance.

Borsalino's body emitted a faint light, illuminating himself.

The cave passages are narrow and branch off frequently.

If you are not familiar with the terrain, it is easy to get lost.

"Nami! Robin!"

He shouted loudly, and his voice echoed through the cave.

But there was no response.

Borsalino quickened his pace, venturing deeper into the cave along the main passage.

The further you go in, the more spacious the cave becomes, but also the more dangerous it becomes.

The ground became slippery, and rocks kept falling from above.

After walking for about half an hour, he heard a sound coming from afar.

"It's Nami and the others!"

Borsalino immediately flew toward the direction of the sound.

Soon, he saw Nami and Robin.

But the situation is not good.

The two were trapped in a relatively spacious cavern, surrounded by several enormous rock spiders.

These spiders are as big as an adult, covered in hard exoskeletons, and look very dangerous.

"damn it!"

Nami brandished her Weather Stick, trying to scare away the spider.

"These guys are so hard to deal with!"

"Watch out! Their fangs are dangerous!"

Robin uses her powers to grow arms and tries to grab the spider.

However, spiders are very fast and there are many of them.

"Thunderous Weather - Lightning Gun!"

Nami unleashed a lightning attack, striking a spider.

However, the spider's exoskeleton was too hard, and the lightning only made it take a few steps back.

"Twenty-round flowers—strangulation!"

Robin also launched an attack, but its effect was similarly limited.

Just then, golden light suddenly filled the entire cave.

"The Eight-Foot Jade Ornament!"

Countless beams of light shot towards the spiders, the powerful impact instantly sending them flying.

"Borsalino!"

Nami and Robin were surprised to see Borsalino suddenly appear.

"How did you come?"

"I've come to find you."

Borsalino continued attacking the spider as he spoke.

"Everyone was very worried about you two being gone for so long."

Under Borsalino's powerful attack, the remaining spiders quickly fled.

"Very good!"

Nami breathed a sigh of relief.

"We were trapped by these spiders for several hours."

Are you alright?

Borsalino inquired with concern.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Robin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"However, we discovered something very important."

She pointed to the depths of the cave.

Borsalino followed her finger and his pupils instantly contracted.

At the deepest part of the cave, there stands a huge black stone tablet.

The stone tablet is covered with ancient text, a characteristic feature of historical records.

"Is this...the Poneglyph?"

Borsalino approached the stone tablet and carefully examined the inscription on it.

"That's right."

Robin nodded excitedly.

"Moreover, the content recorded in this historical text is extremely important."

"It contains information about the ancient weapon 'Wrath of the Sea God.'"

Upon hearing the words "ancient weapon," Borsalino's expression turned serious.

As a former admiral, he knew very well what ancient weapons meant.

"What specific content was recorded?"

he asked.

Robin began translating the text on the stone tablet.

"In the deepest part of the ocean lies a power powerful enough to shake the world."

"When the wrath of the sea god awakens, the sea will rise with towering waves."

"Only those with pure hearts can harness this power."

"There are also some hints about the location."

Robin continued reading.

"In the middle of the Grand Line, there lies a forgotten island."

"At the heart of the island lies a bottomless whirlpool."

"'The wrath of the sea god slumbers in the deepest part of the whirlpool.'"

Borsalino listened to these words, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.

Ancient weapons may indeed be powerful enough to change the world, but if they fall into the wrong hands, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Robin, this information is dangerous."

he said seriously.

"If the World Government or other ambitious individuals find out, it will cause a lot of trouble."

"I know."

Robin nodded.

"But as an archaeologist, I have a responsibility to record these historical truths."

"Furthermore, if our Straw Hat Pirates can find the Wrath of the Sea God, perhaps we can use it to protect even more people."

Borsalino thought for a moment and finally agreed. "Then let's write this information down."

"But you must be very careful to keep it a secret."

Robin began to carefully record everything on the stone tablet.

This process took almost an hour.

Nami stood guard to prevent any further danger.

"The recording is complete."

Robin closed the notebook with satisfaction.

"This information will be invaluable to our adventure."

"Let's go back now."

Borsalino said.

Everyone is worried about you.

Just as they were about to leave, the cave suddenly began to shake.

"what happened?"

Nami asked nervously.

"not good!"

Borsalino's expression changed.

"The cave is collapsing!"

Indeed, the cave's structure had become unstable due to the recent battle and prolonged tremors.

Large chunks of rock began to fall from the top.

"Let's go!"

Borsalino immediately picked up Nami and Robin.

“Hold me!”

His body transformed into a beam of light, rushing towards the cave entrance at top speed.

A deafening rumble came from behind, and the entire cave was collapsing.

They rushed out just before the cave completely collapsed.

"Phew, finally out."

Nami was panting heavily.

“It’s too dangerous!”

"That piece of historical text."

Robin looked worriedly at the completely collapsed opening.

"It's alright, you've already recorded the important information."

Borsalino comforted him.

"And this is for the best; at least others won't easily discover that stone tablet."

The three rested for a while, then began their return to Sage Town.

"By the way, how did you get trapped by those spiders?"

Borsalino asked curiously.

"We found the cave using the map, and things went smoothly at first."

Nami explained.

"But when we went deeper in, we encountered those spiders."

"They suddenly appeared from all directions and surrounded us."

"Moreover, there are many of them, and our attacks are not very effective against them."

Robin added.

"If you hadn't arrived in time, we could have been in real danger."

"Luckily, I realized you haven't been back for a long time."

Borsalino said thankfully.

"In the future, if you encounter such a dangerous expedition, be sure to bring other people with you."

"We understand."

Nami and Robin were both a little embarrassed.

They definitely underestimated the dangers of the cave.

After returning to Sage Town, the three of them went to the inn to rest for a while.

The proprietress was very happy to see them return safely.

"Thank goodness! You're all alright!"

She warmly prepared hot tea and food for them.

"That cave is really dangerous; never go there again."

"We won't go there again."

Nami assured him.

"Besides, the cave has collapsed, so we can't go there anymore."

After resting for an hour, they prepared to return to the food island.

Before leaving Sage Town, Robin went to say goodbye to Allen.

"Mr. Allen, thank you for the information and help you provided."

Did you find what you were looking for?

Allen asked with concern.

"We've found some valuable clues."

Robin did not elaborate.

"The research on your ancestors is very meaningful."

"That's good."

Allen nodded with satisfaction.

"I hope this information will be helpful to your research."

"If you need anything in the future, you are always welcome to come back."

After saying goodbye to Allen, the three of them took a boat back to Gourmet Island.

On the way, Robin carefully organized the information recorded from the historical text.

"The Wrath of the Sea God."

she muttered.

"If we can actually find this ancient weapon, it will be a great help to our adventure."

"But it also brings great danger."

Borsalino offered a reminder.

"The power of ancient weapons is too great; they could easily attract the attention of the World Government."

"We must be very careful."

"I see."

Robin nodded seriously.

"I will handle this information carefully."

As evening fell, they finally returned to the food island.

On the Thousand Sunny, Luffy and his crew were waiting for them on the deck.

"Nami! Robin! You're back!"

Luffy jumped up excitedly.

"Where have you been? We've been looking for you all day!"

"I'm sorry to have worried everyone."

Nami said somewhat apologetically.

"We went to a nearby town to buy nautical charts and information, but we encountered some unexpected problems."

“What accident?”

Zoro inquired.

"We encountered some dangerous wild beasts."

Robin gave a brief explanation, without mentioning the Poneglyphs.

"But we're alright now, Borsalino arrived just in time to save us."

"Very good!"

Chopper breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was worried something might have happened to you."

"By the way, where's Sanji?"

Nami looked around but didn't see Sanji.

"Still learning at the restaurant."

"Frankie replied."

"They're there from morning till night, they don't even have time to eat."

"That guy is taking it way too seriously."

Just then, Sanji walked out of the restaurant.

He looked a little tired, but was in good spirits.

"Nami-san! Robin-san! You're back!"

He ran over excitedly.

"I learned so many new cooking techniques!"

"Tonight I'll be cooking a special dinner for everyone!"

"Very good!"

Luffy immediately became excited.

"I'm starving!"

"Then let's look forward to Sanji's new dish."

Nami said with a smile.

As night falls, the Seafood Restaurant on Gourmet Island is brightly lit.

Sanji is busy in the kitchen, preparing to demonstrate his newly learned cooking skills to everyone.

Gustav, who was giving guidance from the side, was very satisfied with Sanji's progress.

"Very good, you've grasped the basics."

"The next step is continuous practice and reflection."

"A true culinary master needs to dedicate their entire life to the pursuit of perfection."

“I understand, Mr. Gustave.”

Sanji nodded seriously.

"I will continue to work hard."

Inside the restaurant, the Straw Hat Pirates sat around a large table, waiting for Sanji's new creation.

"I wonder what dish Sanji will cook this time."

"Usopp said curiously."

"It must be delicious!"

Luffy is already drooling.

"Sanji's cooking was already amazing, and now with guidance from a master chef, he's bound to be even better!"

"I'm really looking forward to it too."
