One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 366 The Great Secret Treasure—Rav Drew!
With the Straw Hat Pirates' departure and the Red-Haired Pirates' defeat, the situation on Narcissus Island has become clearer.

The Cross Guild, the Most Evil Alliance, and the Kingdoms—the other three strongest factions—did not show any intention of challenging the Beasts, tacitly accepting the Beasts' status.

The Beasts are only one condition away from becoming the Pirate King.

"All the beasts have gathered the inscriptions from the four road markers!"

The news spread quickly throughout the island!

Instead of concealing the news, the Beasts made it public and invited all forces on the island to travel to Laugh Tale.

Such courage is truly admirable!

The strong were filled with emotion.

Laugh Tale is undoubtedly a dream destination for pirates, and the Beasts generously shared such a precious location with them.

Even the Pirate King Roger never revealed a single piece of information about Laugh Tale before his death.

The difference in their demeanor is immediately apparent.

They also knew that this must be a major undertaking by Mr. Goode.

At this moment, at the resort's animal enclosure.

Kaido's features scrunched up, filled with reluctance: "Good, is it really necessary to share Laugh Tale with those guys?"

"Brother Kaido, this is the way of the king."

Goode smiled slightly.

In his hometown, there have long been many answers to this question, such as the best strategy is to subdue the enemy without fighting; and to subdue the enemy without fighting.

A true king is not recognized by stealing chickens. The most important reason Roger became the Pirate King was that he had the powerful force to suppress an era.

One must first possess sufficient strength to become the Pirate King; finding the One Piece is equivalent to the final coronation ceremony.

If some nobody found the great treasure, it would never be recognized by the world.

The current Beasts are just like that. With his support behind them, they are far ahead of other forces in terms of team strength, financial resources, and material resources.

The undisputed No. 1 underground force.

Therefore, bringing other factions along to Laugh Tale would not only be harmless, but would also make them willingly acknowledge the leadership of the beasts.

Follow the big brother, and you'll have food to eat!
"Let's go, Brother Kaido!"

"Okay, okay!"

Good and Kaido walked out of the gate side by side.

On the harbor coast, hundreds of pirate ships waited quietly, their various flags representing different factions.

The New World Pirate Alliance Fleet!

The deck was crowded with people.

Almost all the powerful figures of the New World had gathered here. As Goode and Kaido appeared, everyone's eyes turned to them, filled with awe.

Nearly 100,000 pirates remained completely silent.

They were waiting for orders.

Such a magnificent sight in the underground world is unprecedented in hundreds of years!
Goode stepped aside to let Kaido walk ahead, as this pirate feast should be started by the pirates themselves.

"Brother Kaido, they are waiting for you."

"."

Kaido strode forward, looking at the massive pirate fleet directly in front of him, his heart pounding with excitement. He had only ever seen this scene in his dreams.

It's finally happened.

"Uro ro ro ro!!!"

Kaido laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"Set sail! To retrieve the Great Treasure!!!"

"Ooo ...

The roar of excitement from the pirates soared to the heavens!
Led by the Beasts Pirates, the New World pirate fleet set sail in a grand procession towards the depths of the New World.

The news spread quickly throughout the world.

No one can stop them. Even if the World Government is frantic, it has no power to stop the pirates from pursuing their dreams. It is the will that the pirate world has accumulated for eight hundred years, and all obstacles will be crushed.

They could only wait in fear.

three days later.

A calm sea area.

At the behest of the beasts, all the pirate ships were coated with a protective film, and with a command, the pirate fleet submerged into the sea.

10 meters. 50 meters. 100 meters.

As they descended, the seabed grew increasingly dark.

The dive reached nearly 200 meters!
The pirate fleet came to a stop. It was pitch black all around, with very low visibility, and some shadows could be vaguely seen.

"The Land of the End!" Amidst the admiring gazes of the pirates, the crimson earth beast appeared, summoning sunlight to dispel the darkness and illuminate the underwater world!
A massive ruin came into view!
"This is...a country?!"

The pirates were horrified.

The ruins of the city stretched as far as the eye could see; such a vast area must have been an incredibly powerful kingdom before its destruction.

The pirates quickly realized the truth.

"Laugh Dru!"

"This is Laugh Tale!"

"The great treasure is in this ruin!"

The pirates were overjoyed, and even the relatively calm and powerful figures could not suppress their intense and turbulent emotions.

Crocodile, Moria, Trafalgar Law, Hawkins—the powerful figures born in the old and new eras—all had bloodshot eyes at this moment.

So close to the Great Treasure!
The pirate fleet advanced through the ruins and soon discovered a huge pillar standing in the center of the ruins, its material appearing to be mechanical.

Near the pillar, there are a large number of bubble corals, and the exhaled air forms a huge bubble space.

Below the pillar is a historical inscription, and the stone tablet contains information left by Roger.

We bring the whole truth here—Gol D. Roger!

The pirates entered the bubble and crowded around the base of the giant pillar, staring blankly at the stone tablet in front of them.

They only recognized the message Roger left behind.

The rest of the information is in ancient script.

"The Blank Century"

Robin arrived at the foot of the stone, touched it, and deciphered the inscriptions and the historical text left by Roger.

That is, a blank hundred years.

More than 800 years ago, the world was still under a cruel system of slavery, and alien races such as the Mink Tribe and the Fish-Men were persecuted and enslaved.

At that time, the Great Kingdom was the center of the world, and its ruler, Joy Boy, wanted to change this situation and abolish slavery, but he was met with united opposition from the Twenty Kingdoms.

The clash between the two ideologies led to the outbreak of war, ultimately resulting in the destruction of the Great Kingdom and the establishment of the World Government by the Twenty Kingdoms.

But the battle was not over. Pursued by the World Government, Joy Boy set sail and became the first pirate, attempting to unite the oppressed races and rebel against the World Government's rule.

Ultimately, it failed.

Joy Boy traveled to Wano Country and commissioned the Kozuki Clan to create the Roadstone Inscriptions to record everything. Later, with the help of Queen Lily of Alabasta, the Roadstone Inscriptions were sent to various parts of the world.

Joy Boy passed down the will of the Great Kingdom in this way, which is the so-called "D", representing freedom and democracy, or the idea of ​​equality for all.

Anyone who has this idea can be called "D".

That is, the natural enemy of God!
"Joey D. Boy".

Good muttered something.

Joy Boy's idea coincided with his, but his methods were too poor, and he was directly overthrown by the Twenty Kingdoms.

Not only will it bring no benefits, but it will also harm one's own interests. Who would be willing to work with him?

Besides the blank 100-year history, the stone tablet also records some information.

For example, the origins of the three ancient weapons, the agreement with Fishman Island, and the fact that the war caused the continent to sink 200 meters.

The enormous stone pillar before us is the last technological achievement of the Great Kingdom before its demise, capable of lifting the world up to make up for the damage caused by war.

It is the ultimate treasure!

However, to power this device, a mother flame is needed as a power source, as well as some other key factors.

Nika's power!
To draw an analogy, the world is a car, the Great Treasure is the engine, the Mother Spark is oil, and Nika is the drive belt that transmits the engine's power to the vehicle.

Indispensable.

Simply put, only Nika can save this world.

And there is the name of the great kingdom—Nika.

"It's ridiculous."

Goode chuckled.

If D's thinking is truly like this, then he shouldn't have placed his hopes on Nika and regarded Nika as a savior.

The only way to overthrow oppression is through one's own efforts.

Just as kings and nobles are not born with a special destiny.
Only when ideological constraints are broken, and even ordinary people aspire to become kings, can many figures like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang emerge.

Nika is the same.

Only when everyone can become Nika can the oppressed's spirit of resistance be awakened, rather than saying that Nika must be a white warrior.

Moreover, it's not just Nika, the savior, who can change the world; there are many other viable paths.

Just as he did, he arrived!
