Chapter 416 Don't provoke the Navy!

"To portray the ancient kingdoms as evil forces."

"I see!"

Nami suddenly realized.

"That's why historical texts are banned!"

"Because they record true history!"

"That's exactly right."

The first stone giant nodded.

"Therefore, our mission is to protect these truths."

"Until one day, the truth will be revealed to the public."

Sanji walked to another wall, where a huge world map was hanging.

"This map."

He was surprised to find that...

"There are many more marked islands than on the current map!"

"That's a world map from eight hundred years ago."

"The second stone giant said."

"Many islands were destroyed in the war."

"Many islands have also been artificially erased from history."

"That's terrifying."

Chopper exclaimed in shock.

"So many places have disappeared."

Frankie, however, was drawn to the technical drawings on the wall.

"These designs are so advanced!"

He studied it with great enthusiasm.

"It's hundreds of years ahead of current technology!"

"If we could master these technologies..."

"You can learn from it."

"The first stone giant said."

"But a commitment must be made that it will only be used for just purposes."

"certainly!"

Frankie immediately assured him.

"I will use these technologies to protect my partners!"

Usopp discovered some strange weapon blueprints.

"These weapons look incredibly powerful!"

"Those are defensive weapons from ancient kingdoms."

The second stone giant was introduced.

"Specifically designed to fight against invaders."

"Its power is indeed very strong, but the manufacturing process is also very complex."

Brooke, on the other hand, was drawn to some music-related records.

"Ancient kingdoms actually had a musical culture!"

He excitedly checked the musical note record.

"These tunes are very interesting!"

"Music was also very important in the ancient kingdoms."

"The first stone giant said."

They believe music can heal the soul and convey emotions.

"It can also be used to record history."

While everyone was researching topics of interest, Robin made a significant discovery.

"Everyone, come quick!"

She shouted loudly in front of the crystal ball.

"I've found detailed information on ancient weapons!"

Everyone immediately gathered around.

The crystal ball displayed images and descriptions of three weapons.

"This is Hades."

Robin pointed to the first image.

"A super battleship capable of destroying an island."

"This is Aquaman."

She pointed to the second image.

"Able to control the power of Sea Kings."

"This is the Heavenly King."

The last image is even more mysterious.

"Weapons capable of controlling weather and natural disasters."

"Each of them possesses world-destroying power."

"but."

Robin continued reading the documents.

"Their actual uses are also recorded here."

"Pluto's purpose is to cleanse the corrupted earth so that new life can be born."

"Aquaman exists to protect the marine ecosystem and maintain the balance of the ocean."

"The Heavenly King is there to regulate the global climate and prevent natural disasters."

"I see."

Borsalino suddenly realized.

"Ancient weapons were originally tools for protecting the world."

"But if used by evil people, it can become a weapon of destruction."

"That's exactly right."

The first stone giant nodded heavily.

"That's why scholars from ancient kingdoms were so cautious."

"They dispersed and concealed their weapons, and set up numerous trials."

"Make sure only righteous people can find them."

"Where are these weapons now?"

Luffy asked directly.

"this."

The two stone giants looked at each other.

"We only have part of the clues."

"The blueprints for Hades are in the Seven Waters."

"Aquaman is said to be connected to the Little Mermaid."

"The clues about the Heavenly King are minimal; all that's known is that it's 'at the end of the sky.'"

"We've been to the Seven Capitals of Water!"

"Frankie said excitedly."

"There is indeed ancient warship technology there!"

"The Little Mermaid's words."

Luffy remembered Shirahoshi.

We know a little mermaid princess!

"It seems fate has already begun to take its course."

The second stone giant seemed to be deep in thought.

"Perhaps you are among those foretold."

“What prophecy?”

Nami asked curiously.

"Prophecies of the ancient kingdoms."

The first stone giant answered.

"The prophecy says that this will happen when the world faces its greatest crisis."

"A group of brave adventurers will appear."

"They will collect ancient weapons and save the world."

"That sounds a lot like us!"

Luffy grinned.

"We are the pirate crew destined to save the world!"

"Perhaps it really is fate."

Robin remarked with emotion.

"On our journey to uncover the truth of history, we constantly encounter clues about ancient weapons."

"This can't be a coincidence."

Just then, the crystal ball suddenly emitted an even brighter light.

A gentle voice came from the crystal ball.

"Welcome, inheritors of history."

"Who is speaking?"

Chopper looked around nervously.

"I am the remnant consciousness of the last scholar from the ancient kingdom."

The voice continued.

"For eight hundred years, I have been waiting for your arrival."

"The consciousness of ancient scholars?"

Robin was shocked.

Are you still alive?

My physical body has long since vanished.

The voice answered.

"But I will preserve my consciousness within this crystal."

"It's all to pass the truth on to those who come after."

“It’s amazing!”

"Frankie exclaimed in amazement."

"It can actually preserve consciousness!"

"This is the highest level of technology from the ancient kingdoms."

The scholar's voice said.

"But I don't have much time left."

"The consciousness has persisted for eight hundred years and is about to dissipate."

Please tell us the truth!

Robin pleaded urgently.

"About the ancient kingdoms, about ancient weapons, about the truth of this world!"

"I will impart all my knowledge to you."

The scholar's voice became solemn.

"But you must make a commitment."

"We will never use these powers for evil purposes."

"We promise!"

Luffy answered on behalf of everyone.

"We will use these powers to protect our friends!"

"Protect the people of this world!"

"very good."

The scholar's voice was tinged with satisfaction.

"Then, let the transmission of knowledge begin."

Guided by the consciousness of ancient scholars, the Straw Hat Pirates received an unprecedented inheritance of knowledge.

Information about the truth of the world flooded into everyone's minds like a tidal wave, giving them a completely new understanding of the world.

The blank history of eight hundred years ago, the glorious civilization of ancient kingdoms, the truth covered up by the world government, and the true purpose of ancient weapons.
All the secrets were revealed at this moment.

Once the transmission of knowledge was complete, the voices of ancient scholars gradually faded away.

"My mission is finally complete."

The scholar's voice carried a sense of relief.

"Eight hundred years of waiting have finally come to fruition."

"thank you!"

Robin bowed to the crystal ball with tears in his eyes.

"Your sacrifice will not have been in vain!" "We will spread the truth to the world!"

"Remember, the power of knowledge should be used to protect it."

The voices of scholars are growing weaker and weaker.

May justice prevail forever.

As the last sentence disappeared, the crystal ball's light dimmed completely.

The ancient scholars who guarded the secret for eight hundred years can finally rest in peace.

The entire underground palace fell into solemn silence.

Everyone was touched by this sacred atmosphere, their hearts filled with reverence for ancient civilization.

"We obtained something very important."

Borsalino broke the silence.

"But they also shouldered a heavy responsibility."

"yes."

Nami nodded.

"After learning these truths, the whole world feels different."

"The World Government, it turns out..."

Sanji's expression was complicated.

"He has been deceiving everyone all along."

"Those Celestial Dragons are even more so."

Zoro gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"It makes me angry to think about what they've done."

"But very few people know the truth yet."

"Frankie said heavily."

"How can we tell this to the whole world?"

"Take your time."

Robin wiped away her tears.

"The truth will eventually come to light."

Just as everyone was immersed in a heavy atmosphere, Luffy suddenly spoke up.

"Even though I know these things, but..."

His voice was calm, but carried a firm strength.

"I'm still going to become the Pirate King!"

"Luffy?"

Nami looked at him in surprise.

"Don't you feel angry after learning these truths?"

"Of course I'm angry!"

A flame ignited in Luffy's eyes.

"Those bastards have done so many bad things!"

"But that can't change my dream!"

He looked at each of his companions.

"My dream has always been simple."

"Become the Pirate King, find ONE PIECE, and adventure with your best friends!"

"These truths make me even more certain that my dream is right!"

"Luffy."

Chopper was moved.

"You're still Luffy."

"certainly!"

Luffy grinned.

"I am who I am!"

No matter how complicated the world is, I will live it my own way!

"And perhaps when I become the Pirate King..."

His gaze became even more determined.

"That will be able to change this twisted world!"

Hearing Luffy's words, everyone felt a familiar warmth.

This is their captain, Luffy, who always stays true to his original aspirations and is always full of hope.

"That's right!"

Zoro laughed.

No matter how dark the world may be, we must stick to our own path!

"That's right!"

Sanji has also regained his energy.

"We will change the world in our own way!"

"Then let's continue our adventure!"

Nami rallied.

"There are still many islands waiting for us to explore!"

"yes!"

Franky waved his arms excitedly.

"We need to manufacture even more powerful weapons!"

"Weapons to protect everyone!"

"I want to continue my medical research!"

Chopper was also full of energy.

"To become a doctor capable of curing any disease!"

"I want to become a brave sea warrior!"

Usopp also announced loudly.

"Use sniper fire to protect our comrades!"

"I want to keep playing music!"

Brooke took out her violin.

"We want to bring joy to everyone through music!"

"I will continue my search for the Poneglyphs!"

Robin smiled again.

"We must tell the world the true history!"

"very good!"

Borsalino felt gratified as he looked at the energetic young people.

"This is how you should be."

Knowledge is power, but dreams are even greater power.

"Then let's leave here!"

Luffy headed towards the exit.

"Many more adventures await us!"

With the two stone giant guardians seeing them off, the Straw Hat Pirates left the ancient ruins.

Although they gained a great deal of knowledge, they felt much lighter.

Because they found the motivation and meaning to move forward.

Back at the beach campsite, everyone started packing their bags and preparing to leave.

"This island has given us so much."

Nami gazed at the island with a sense of wonder.

"It's not just about knowledge, but also about a renewed understanding of dreams."

"yes."

Sanji nodded as well.

"Although I've learned about the dark side of the world, it has strengthened my resolve to protect what's important."

"We must make good use of that ancient knowledge."

Frankie examined the technical data obtained from the ruins.

"It can make the Thousand Sunny even stronger!"

"I also learned a lot about medicine."

Chopper flipped through ancient medical records.

"The medical technology of the ancient kingdoms was truly advanced!"

"Furthermore, we've also discovered clues about ancient weapons."

Robin was organizing historical materials.

"Although we don't know how to handle it yet, at least we have a direction."

"Who cares about ancient weapons or whatever!"

Luffy said casually.

"Things will work themselves out when they reach the bridge!"

"We'll talk about it when we encounter it!"

The Thousand Sunny set sail again, leaving the mysterious island.

Although their appearances have remained unchanged, everyone has become stronger inside.

They gained not only knowledge, but more importantly, a firm belief in their own path.

"Where is the next destination?"

Luffy asked excitedly.

"Based on what the record pointer is pointing to"

Nami examined the nautical chart.

"It should be a place called 'Music Island'."

"Music Island?"

"That sounds interesting!"

"Is it an island with many musicians?"

"Very likely."

Nami said with a smile.

"Perhaps we'll hear a lot of beautiful music."

"Very good!"

Luffy jumped up excitedly.

"I love interesting islands the most!"

"Maybe there'll be some fun adventures!"

And so, the Thousand Sunny sailed on the calm sea.

After their adventure in the ancient ruins, everyone was in high spirits.

Although they learned the truth about the world, it did not make them depressed.

On the contrary, they cherish their current friendships and dreams even more.

After sailing for two days, they encountered something interesting.

"Ship spotted ahead!"

Usopp shouted from the lookout tower.

"It looks like a naval warship!"

"navy?"

Luffy immediately perked up.

How many are there?

"Three! And they're all huge!"

Usopp observed carefully.

"It should be an elite force from the Navy Headquarters!"

"Haha! You've come at the perfect time!"

Luffy rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"It's been a long time since we've clashed with the navy!"

"Wait, Luffy!"

Nami quickly stopped her.

"Our bounties are quite high now, so don't provoke the Navy!"

"Furthermore, we've just acquired crucial knowledge; we can't reveal it!"

"That's right."

Borusalino also agreed.

"Now is not the time for a direct confrontation with the navy."
