“Every month that passes, have these experts publish a report using the World Economic Herald…”

Char continued.

"What do you mean?"

Stussy didn't quite understand Char's actions.

Xia, a cigar dangling from his lips, calmly took a puff, looked at Stussy, and asked softly, "If you could see a new history every month! And if last month's history contradicted this month's, and every expert's words were completely different, even laughable! When someone in this world actually deciphered that blank century and put that history in the newspaper, would you still believe them?!"

“You won’t believe it. You’ll look at the news in the newspaper and laugh maniacally, ‘Hahaha! Another fraudulent expert has spoken! This time the joke is actually quite real…’” Xia Ya’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said this: “I will make every historian in the world synonymous with fraud in people’s minds! Does the truth really matter? What the people believe to be the truth is what the truth is…”

It's past midnight! Brothers, please keep reading!

Chapter 56 Stop! She's only eight years old!

The day before Char went to meet Nico Olvia.

On the other side, the Western Sea.

Dr. Clover's call brought together renowned scholars from all over the world!

The island known as the Island of Scholars, surrounding Ohara!

One naval warship after another completely surrounded the island...

Suddenly, the atmosphere on the island became heavy, and the people on the island were filled with anxiety.

However, the worst-case scenario that Dr. Clover had anticipated—the complete annihilation of the island of scholars, Ohara, by the World Government using the Buster Call, along with the destruction of the entire island, its scholars, and its books—did not seem to have occurred.

These naval forces appear to have merely surrounded the island without taking any further action...

This puzzled Dr. Clover, who frowned as he gazed at the naval warships that surrounded Ohara but made no further move. He muttered to himself in confusion, "What exactly are the World Government and the Navy up to? What are they plotting?"

"Alala..."

"Wow, there are so many books here!"

"As expected of Ohara, it truly lives up to its reputation."

Just as Dr. Clover was feeling confused, a somewhat nonchalant and slightly hoarse voice suddenly rang in Dr. Clover's ear.

"When did this guy get in?!"

For a moment, both Dr. Shamrock and the scholars surrounding him who had vowed to live and die with the books in the Tree of Knowledge on Ohara Island were stunned into silence. In the next instant, countless cold sweats slid down their foreheads...

A young man, who appeared to be only in his twenties or thirties, wearing a navy blue trench coat, a headscarf with the insignia of the World Government's navy, and small sunglasses, had somehow appeared inside the Tree of Omniscience.

The man was engrossed in browsing the books inside the Tree of Omniscience, repeatedly exclaiming in amazement, "Wow! This place probably has more books than any library in the world! The Tree of Omniscience truly lives up to its name!"

"However, after seeing these books, I understand why the World Government sent me here! If this knowledge falls into the hands of malicious individuals, the world might truly be destroyed!"

Yes, otherwise, if this uninvited man, who appeared before the group of scholars without asking, had suddenly spoken just now...

None of the scholars within the Tree of Omniscience discovered its existence...

Not to mention knowing exactly when the man in front of her had entered.

"Who are you exactly?"

In response, some scholars immediately grabbed weapons, surrounded the man in the navy blue trench coat, and loudly questioned him.

"Huh? Didn't I introduce myself?"

Upon hearing this, the young man first casually scratched his head, then looked at the scholars present and asked with a puzzled expression. The scholars, seeing his bewildered look, assumed he hadn't intentionally forgotten to introduce himself, but had genuinely forgotten…

"Absolutely not! You bastard..."

In response, the scholars roared angrily at the young man.

"I'm sorry! There are just too many books here, and they've captivated me so much that I forgot to greet you, even though I never read books, I always get sleepy when I do..." The young man first nodded slightly to the group of scholars in front of him to express his apology.

Then, as if he had thought of something, the young man continued to speak to the group of scholars present: "In short, it's too complicated to explain, and many things have happened in between! So, I'll just state the conclusion directly! From today onwards, the entire island of scholars, Ohara, and this so-called Tree of Omniscience will all be under my management! So, fellow scholars, please give us your guidance in the future."

"Don't just stand there talking to yourself!"

"Do you think we'll obediently agree just because you ask us to hand over the island?"

"You despicable lackeys of the World Government! Get out of Ohara!"

"This is an island for scholars from all over the world, and you are not welcome here..."

The scholars glared at the young man and roared repeatedly.

"Ugh……"

"I'm sorry! It seems you've misunderstood something! I'm not here to negotiate with you; I'm just informing you unilaterally..."

"At the same time, I also hope that both you and us can sit down calmly and communicate politely! After all, you are all learned scholars."

"That's precisely why I didn't resort to force right away. I've shown you respect, and I hope you'll cooperate. Please don't put me in a difficult position..."

The young man first sighed, then said in a deep voice.

As soon as the young man finished speaking, the expressions of the scholars present all changed. They all raised their weapons, seemingly about to drive the young man out.

"Stop! You are no match for him..."

"The man before us is a Vice Admiral from the Navy Headquarters..."

"To be precise, it's Admiral candidate Aokiji Kurazan!"

"I never expected the government would send someone like you..."

Just as the scholars were about to take action, Clover finally recognized the young man in front of him and loudly stopped them.

"Kuzan? That monster who, a year ago, teamed up with two other admiral candidates and destroyed hundreds of Shiki's warships in a short period of time..."

Upon hearing the name of the young man before them, the scholars were stunned into silence. They seemed to have never imagined that the government would go to such lengths for a mere island of scholars…

They actually sent a newly appointed vice admiral to suppress these defenseless scholars.

"Oh dear, I changed my clothes, but I still got recognized?"

"To be honest, ever since I participated in the World Government's live broadcast of Shiki the Golden Lion's execution a year ago, I've always been recognized by people. To be honest, this feeling of becoming a celebrity is really bothering me. What, do you guys want my autograph too?"

Kuzan, somewhat oblivious, looked at the group of scholars before him and began to speak.

Who wants your autograph?

In response, the scholars roared at Kuzan.

"Grandpa Clover! There are so many warships outside! What's going on?"

Just as the scholars were roaring at Kuzan, the door of the Tree of Omniscience was suddenly pushed open, and a lovely girl with long, jet-black hair and a beautiful face rushed into the Tree of Omniscience with an anxious expression, and spoke urgently to Dr. Clover.

"Hey! Little girl..."

Do you know Nicole Robin?

Before Clover could speak, Kuzan reached out and took off his sunglasses, staring at the girl in front of him with wide eyes as he asked softly.

“Nicole Robin? That’s me! And you are…”

Upon hearing this, Robin nodded instinctively without giving it much thought.

"boom!"

The moment Robin revealed her identity...

With a deafening roar!

The once adorable girl Robin was instantly turned into an ice sculpture in front of everyone.

"You bastard, what are you doing?"

"Let go of that girl!"

"She's only eight years old! You bastard..."

Immediately, the scholars present roared at Kuzan.

"Captured, a wanted criminal of the World Government."

Ignoring the insults from the surrounding scholars, Kuzan simply put his sunglasses back on, put his hands in his pockets, and spoke calmly.

If it were that man who upheld a lazy sense of justice...

Perhaps the scholars' criticisms and the fact that the government's most wanted criminal is actually just an eight-year-old child will cause some hesitation...

But this man, who upholds burning justice, will not be shaken in the slightest by this!

Even though you have made a big mistake!

But the government is still willing to give you a chance to reform. What more could you want?

You despicable intellectual criminals!

Chapter 57 Ohara is finished!

In just twenty minutes, Kuzan entered Ohara.

The entire island was now completely under control, and all the scholars who intended to rebel against the government had been turned into ice sculptures, one after another…

No one could leave the island under Kuzan's control. Even the seagulls in the sky, the moment they tried to fly away from Ohara, were caught by Kuzan's powerful Observation Haki and frozen into ice sculptures, falling from the sky and shattering into pieces.
