Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Upon arriving at the Sky Island, I saw the Poneglyphs there.

Whether Roger and his crew knew the truth about the world.

She really wanted to know.

Do you know what happened in the world during that blank century that began 900 years ago?

You've arrived at the final island, Laugh Tale, but what truth lies hidden there?

The sky seemed to darken as she spoke, and the wind seemed to stand still.

All eyes were on Rayleigh.

Rayleigh was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, we know."

I know everything about history.

This brief acknowledgment struck Robin like a thunderclap.

Do they know everything?

The truth that countless scholars in Ohara have risked their lives to seek has also been Robin's motivation to live.

The truth is right before our eyes.

However, Rayleigh's next words calmed Robin down: "But young lady, don't rush things. Please proceed step by step with your ship. Perhaps we, and even your homeland Ohara, were a bit too hasty in the beginning."

His gaze swept over Luffy, Nami, Zoro... every member of the Straw Hat crew, finally returning to Robin:

“Even if I tell you everything about history here, it may not be a good thing for you now, and may even bring an unbearable burden.”

After you've traveled the world and experienced things firsthand, the answers you arrive at may not be the same as ours.

Understanding of history.

Everyone is different.

Rayleigh looked at Robin; he knew who the woman in front of him was.

"Even so, if you still want to know, I can tell you everything that has been hidden in this world right here."

The scene suddenly fell into absolute stillness.

Even the sound of the wind disappeared.

Luffy didn't say anything, he just looked at Robin quietly, respecting her choice.

Robin already mentioned this back in Alabasta.

That truth was her motivation to live.

Robin's mind flashed back to the raging flames of Ohara, to Saul's final smile, and to the darkness of her years of wandering. Finally, the image of Luffy ordering the burning of the World Government flag on Enies Lobby was captured.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again a moment later, the confusion was gone.

"No,"

Robin shook his head, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

Her voice was calm yet firm, and a hint of relief even appeared on her face. "Never mind. I plan to continue sailing. Together with my companions, we will find the answer through our own efforts."

She wanted to continue traveling.

Together with Luffy and his crew.

From that day on, her motivation to live was no longer solely based on this so-called truth.

"One day, you will see clearly."

Rayleigh recalled Robin's ordeal, paused, and said, "I deeply regret what happened to your hometown, Ohara. It was an unforgivable tragedy."

He then answered another question Robin had asked earlier.

"However, Roger did not decipher the ancient scripts like you archaeologists do."

Ultimately, we are just a bunch of pirates, and our wisdom cannot compare with that of the genius Dr. Clover and the scholars of Ohara.

That guy simply possesses a special talent: he can hear the voices of all things, that's all.

In order to decipher the Poneglyphs, Roger even borrowed someone from Whitebeard.

"The Voice of All Things?"

So the Pirate King possesses this kind of power?

Luffy remembered his current ability to communicate with animals.

Could it also be a form of this kind of power?

Chapter 309 Kizaru: That's terrifying~ Straw Hat Boy

It's almost time, and we've already had our conversations.

Rayleigh saw a familiar shadow in Luffy.

Many years have passed.

The man seemed to reappear before my eyes.

It was still that same straw hat.

Rayleigh stood up.

"The hardships of the Grand Line far exceed your current imagination, especially the New World in the latter half. Moreover, the enemies will become increasingly powerful."

He looked at Luffy and smiled, "Monkey D. Luffy, can you conquer this stubborn and vast sea?"

"I have no intention of ruling or anything."

Luffy also stood up, pressed his straw hat, and laughed:

"On this vast ocean, the freest person is the Pirate King!"

This sentence is a pun.

For Luffy, only by becoming the Pirate King can he break free from the constraints of the Pirate King training program.

In his eyes, the Pirate King is indeed the freest being on the sea.

Rayleigh's smile grew even brighter.

He asked someone the same question back then.

Ultimately, that person led him through a life full of ups and downs.

The figure gradually overlapped with the person in front of him.

The laughter gradually subsided.

Rayleigh's expression sharpened again as he looked up at the sky, where a chilling energy fluctuation emanated.

"Alright, that's all for our casual chat."

Rayleigh looked at Luffy with a playful smile on his lips, "Do you need this old man to lend a hand?"

"Do not."

Luffy refused decisively, saying:

"Let me do it."

"Haha, if needed, this old man is always ready to lend a hand."

Whoosh!

Almost the instant Rayleigh finished speaking, a dazzling golden beam of light appeared, shooting down from the sky at a speed beyond the limits of the naked eye, its target the three unconscious Celestial Dragons on the ground.

The speed was so fast that no one could react in time!

Second Gear PLUS!

But at that critical moment, Luffy's figure vanished from his spot in an instant, leaving only a sonic boom and a faint trail of red steam in the air!

In the next instant, he appeared in the path of the golden beam of light.

A foot wrapped in Armament Haki kicked out like a battle axe, landing precisely on the ball of light.

Bang! !

A deep, thunderous roar exploded in the air.

The beam of light was abruptly stopped by the powerful blow, and its brightness dimmed slightly, revealing the figure of one of the people inside.

The man also raised one foot, which shimmered with golden light, to block Luffy's kick.

The two faced off briefly in the air.

"Are you a Navy Admiral?"

Luffy looked at the tall, thin man in front of him, who was wearing a yellow and white striped suit, sunglasses, and a slightly lewd expression on his face, and asked directly.

The person forced to reveal himself from the air by Luffy is one of the Navy Headquarters' top combat forces.

Borsalino, codenamed Kizaru, is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the Glint-Glint Fruit ability.

"Oh, how terrifying~ Straw Hat Luffy~"

Kizaru tilted his head slightly and said in his uniquely slow tone, "He can actually keep up with the speed of light."

With the admiral's formal appearance, the naval encirclement below, which had been somewhat stagnant, instantly began to contract more rapidly and powerfully, as if wound up. Shouts of battle and footsteps became clear again.

Nami, Vivi, Robin, and the others all stood up, their expressions solemn, ready for battle.

"Admiral! Admiral Kizaru!"

Having just awakened, Saint Roswald saw the figure in the air and, as if grasping at a straw, screamed hoarsely, "Kill them! Quickly kill these lowly commoners who dare to insult the world's nobles!"

Snapped!

A resounding slap!
