Sailing: I was falsely accused of watching Nami bathe, but I'm blind.

"Road sign history text?!"

Kai's breathing paused slightly.

He knew that there were two types of historical texts: one was the historical text that recorded intelligence, and the other was the historical text that served as a road sign to guide the way.

But before that, he didn't know that the historical text of the road sign was actually red, and that there were only four of them in the world!

This intelligence is undoubtedly revolutionary!

This means that the road to the throne of "Pirate King" is more difficult and tortuous than imagined! It also means that Nico Robin's existence has irreplaceable strategic value for any force aspiring to become the Pirate King!

“The Straw Hat Pirates… Nico Robin…” Kai’s fingertips unconsciously traced across the table, making a soft rubbing sound.

He recalled the scene during the Enies Lobby incident, where CP9 risked their lives to bring Nico Robin back to the World Government.

At the time, he thought the World Government was only worried that Nico Robin would revive the Ancient Weapons and threaten their rule.

But now it seems that the World Government's fear of Nico Robin goes far beyond this!

What they fear most is Nico Robin deciphering all the secrets of the Poneglyphs! Unveiling the truth of the "Void Century" they've deliberately concealed! Shaking the very foundations of their world domination!

And Luffy, that seemingly carefree and single-minded guy, unwittingly carried such a "time bomb" with him! And he's getting closer and closer to that ultimate secret that could overturn the entire world!

A strong sense of crisis rose in Kai's heart.

If the Straw Hat crew were to actually collect all four Road Poneglyphs, find Laugh Tale, and uncover the truth of the world... what kind of earth-shattering change would that trigger?!

Will the world government's rule collapse as a result?

Where will the "justice" upheld by the Navy go?

And what role will he himself play in this transformation?

Kai's gaze became deep and distant.

He developed an unprecedented and intense interest in these secrets that could potentially revolutionize world history and its structure.

This interest stems not only from curiosity about the unknown, but also from a... desire for power and control!

If he could grasp these secrets... if he could control Nico Robin...

This thought, like a venomous snake, quietly took root in his mind.

But he quickly suppressed the dangerous thought.

He knew that with his current strength and status, he was not yet qualified to touch these forbidden areas.

The Five Elders of the World Government, and the mysterious entity hidden behind them, will never allow anyone to easily dabble in these secrets that could shake their rule.

He needs greater power, a higher position, and a more meticulous plan.

"Continue to monitor the situation in Zou."

The main focus is on gathering information about the Road Poneglyphs, Nico Robin, and the Kozuki family.

At the same time, closely monitor the reactions of Kaido of the Beasts and the Big Mom Pirates.

They may also possess clues to the historical text of the road signs.

Kai's voice regained its usual coldness.

"Yes! Lieutenant General!"

The adjutant accepted the order and left.

Kai stood alone by the porthole, gazing at the distant, turbulent black ocean.

Poneglyphs... Laugh Tale... One Piece...

These words, which once seemed unattainable to him, have now become within reach thanks to the Straw Hat crew.

This world is rapidly heading towards an unknown future.

And he, Kai, must find his place and seize his opportunity in this impending, even greater chaos!

A cold and unpredictable smile curved at the corners of his mouth.

He felt an unprecedented...excitement about this world full of secrets and variables!

The repercussions of the Zou incident continue to unfold.

Meanwhile, Kai was calmly analyzing all the known intelligence, trying to deduce the future trend from it.

He knew that the emergence of the Roadmark History would inevitably disrupt the existing balance of power in the New World.

Kaido and Big Mom, the two Yonko who reign over the New World, likely possess one or more Road Poneglyphs.

Otherwise, they could not have dominated the new world for so long.

The Straw Hat crew obtained a rubbing of a Road Poneglyph in Zou, which will undoubtedly make them a thorn in the side of Kaido and Big Mom.

These two Emperors would never allow the Straw Hat crew to get close to Laugh Tale before them.

A battle over the historical text of the road sign seems inevitable.

Nicole Robin, as the only person capable of deciphering these ancient texts, will have her value amplified immeasurably.

She will become the focus of contention among various forces.

Kai could even foresee that the capture and protection of Nico Robin would become the trigger for a series of conflicts in the New World.

"The Kozuki family..." Kai thought of this family that played an important role in the history of Wano Country.

Based on scattered information, the Kozuki family seems to have intricate connections with the creation of the Poneglyphs and the Void Century.

As a retainer of the Kozuki clan, the ninja Raizo likely knew secrets far beyond the Road Poneglyphs of Zou.

Wano Country, that closed-off and mysterious samurai nation, is now shrouded in an even more mysterious and dangerous veil in Kai's eyes.

There, more clues about historical texts and the truth of the world may be hidden.

Kaido of the Beasts made Wano Country his base, and his purpose was probably not just the rich resources and powerful samurai there.

Perhaps he is also plotting against the secrets protected by the Kozuki family.

Kai's thoughts, like swirling snowflakes, kept swirling, colliding, and recombining in her mind.

He realized that he was getting closer and closer to the most fundamental secret of this world.

These secrets are like a giant whirlpool, drawing everyone in and making it impossible for them to escape.

He must become stronger, more cautious, and more ruthless.

Because in this game surrounding the world's ultimate secret, any weakness or mistake could lead to utter ruin.

His gaze returned to the intelligence report about Zou.

Zunesha... the Mink Tribe... the Kozuki Family... the Poneglyphs... Laugh Tale...

These keywords gradually formed a clear thread in his mind.

And at the end of this clue lies the ultimate goal that all pirates dream of—the Pirate King!

A meaningful smile appeared on Kai's lips.

He knew that his future path would be full of thorns and challenges.

But he was not afraid of it at all.

Because he believed that only by standing at the top of the world could he truly control his own destiny, unravel all the mysteries, and realize his unknown ambitions.

Now, all he needs to do is continue to lie low, continue to accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity that will allow him to soar to new heights.

The winds of the new world are blowing faster and faster.

And he, Kai, will ride this strong wind and soar to new heights!

The aftermath of the Zou incident had not yet subsided, and the mystery of the Poneglyphs and Laugh Tale still shrouded the New World. Then, an even more explosive piece of news, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, once again ignited Kai's intelligence network.

"Report! Urgent intelligence! The Straw Hat Pirates' cook, 'Black Leg' Sanji, has been forcibly taken away by his family—the Vinsmoke Family! It is said that Sanji will be forced to marry Charlotte Pudding, the thirty-fifth daughter of the Yonko Big Mom Charlotte Linlin!"

"what?!"

Even though Kai is known for his calm and composure, he was slightly taken aback when he heard the news.

Black Leg Sanji, one of the three main fighters of the Straw Hat Pirates, is a man who always has a cigarette in his mouth, wears a black suit, and is famous for his superb cooking skills and powerful leg techniques.

His background has always been a mystery.

Who would have thought he was a member of the Vinsmoke family, renowned for their terrifying technological prowess and hailed as "war experts"?!

The Vinsmoke family, Germa 66! A "mobile nation" without fixed territory, relying on its powerful technology and clone army to undertake war missions all over the world! In some aspects, their technological level even surpasses that of the navy's scientific forces!

And Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin, the Yonko who reigns over the New World as the "Queen of Souls"! Her greatest skill is using marriage alliances to bring various powerful forces and races under her control, constantly expanding her family and pirate crew!

In an instant, Kai connected the two pieces of information in his mind.

“BIGMOM wants to use a marriage alliance to annex the Vinsmoke family’s technological power…” Kai’s lips curled into a cold smile. “This old woman has quite the appetite.”

If the Big Mom Pirates were to fully master the technological power of Germa 66, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for the already terrifying Big Mom! Her pirate crew would become even more difficult to deal with!

"The intelligence also indicates that the Straw Hat Pirates had internal divisions after learning that Sanji had been taken away."

Ultimately, Captain Luffy decided to personally lead a small crew to Big Mom's territory—'Whole Cake Island'—to retrieve Sanji! The rest of the crew, as planned, headed to Wano Country to reunite with the ninja Raizo and others, preparing for their next move.

"Luffy...is going to conquer Whole Cake Island?!"

Kai's brows furrowed involuntarily.
