The Legendary Family of One Piece

I don't understand a single thing about Chapter 244.

Inside the main hall nestled in the mountainside, a magnificent golden bell stands tall, creating a striking visual impact.

Bucky's eyes widened in amazement at the sight of the giant golden bell; it was truly a treasure trove!

Moreover, the area around here is filled with various gold items bearing the Shandora symbol, making people's mouths water!

It can be said that this place displays the entire legacy of Shandora, making it a miniature version of Shandora.

The Heberfeller family's collection is incredibly extensive!

The others were shocked but not very interested.

A moment later, the group arrived in front of the enormous gold.

Beneath the golden base of the Golden Bell, the historical inscription is clearly visible and very striking.

Roger's eyes flickered slightly, and he calmly said, "The [sound] within this stone is very strong; it really is here!"

Charlotte tilted her head and looked at Roger, then at the unremarkable Poneglyph "Stone".

This is so bizarre! Does this thing even make a sound? How come he didn't hear anything?

Charlotte couldn't understand this divine operation at all.

Is listening to the voices of all things really that terrifying? That's a bit far-fetched!

Memories surged, and Charlotte fell into deep thought. It seemed that Roger really could hear the voice of "stone," though she didn't know why.

Sure enough, too much time had passed, and he had forgotten most of the details. If the scene hadn't reappeared today, he probably wouldn't have remembered that such a thing ever happened.

"Oden, what's recorded here? Does it record some kind of powerful [power]?"

Kozuki Oden gently stroked the ancient carved historical text.

He then took out a special piece of paper from his pocket, which contained writing in the same style as ancient script. It was the special "code" passed down through generations of the Kozuki clan.

These allow us to decipher the historical text above, which represents the legacy of the Kozuki family.

Unfortunately, due to the unexpected death of Kozuki Oden, he did not have time to pass it on to his next successor, resulting in the complete loss of the ability to decipher text.

Although it was a pity, Charlotte had no intention of asking for it. On the one hand, the Heberfeller family had historians and archaeologists, and on the other hand, they couldn't easily give away their family heirloom.

That's practically impossible!

"That's true!"

Kozuki Oden spoke calmly and began to interpret the historical text above.

Kozuki Oden spoke slowly with a serious expression.

"In ancient times, there existed ancient weapons capable of destroying the world, weapons bearing the name of 'gods'..."

He paused noticeably for a moment, seemingly checking the code, and a few minutes later, Kozuki Oden continued to add to the message.

"This is a record of an ancient weapon called Poseidon..."

"You could also say it's Poseidon, the sea god..."

Kozuki Oden spoke slowly, explaining continuously.

Everyone listened attentively; such a big secret was incredibly suspenseful, except for Charlotte, who showed little interest.

After all, he's a man who has the script in his hands, so this kind of secret is naturally nothing to him.

Bucky's eyes lit up; he loved it! This sounded like a powerful "treasure trove"! It completely captivated him.

However, Oden's voice suddenly stopped.

Unable to contain his excitement, Buggy grew impatient and quickly pressed on, "Brother Oden, is there anything else?"

Oden laughed heartily, "Machijiro, you're too hasty. This part is a bit complicated."

Before Bucky could say anything more, Shanks covered his mouth.

Bucky struggled desperately, but Shanks held him firmly in place; the two looked like they were just playing around.

"Buggy, be quiet, give Oden some time!"

The others waited patiently, and after a short while, Kozuki Oden spoke again.

"The ancient weapon [Sea King] can communicate with and command Sea Kings. When the [Mermaid Princess], who can communicate with Sea Kings, appears, a guide named [JOY BOY] will guide her..."

Roger smiled as he listened to Kozuki Oden's explanation. She really was the future mermaid princess of Fishman Island.

【JOY BOY】—Joy Boy…has a meaning of “laughing boy”.

The familiar name flashed through Charlotte's mind, and various story clues about Joy Boy surged into her mind.

"She really is a mermaid!"

Jabba couldn't help but speak up as well.

There is a Poneglyph in the Sea Forest of Fishman Island, which is Joy Boy's apology.

With these two pieces of evidence corroborating each other, a mystery about ancient weapons has now been almost completely solved.

Bucky and Shanks calmed down completely, but Bucky's gaze towards Shanks was quite displeased, which was rather amusing.

Meanwhile, Charlotte's memories continued to surge.

If he remembered correctly, there were still ten years until the birth of the mermaid princess Shirahoshi.

Moreover, the mermaid Shirley has already been born and made an accurate prediction that "Princess Shirahoshi will be born in ten years," an ability that can be described as astonishing.

Just as Charlotte was lost in thought, Roger's voice rang out.

"Charlotte, may I leave a message here?"

When Roger suddenly asked her this question, Charlotte didn't object at all. Even if she left a message, the outside world wouldn't know, so there wasn't much risk involved.

"Do as you please!"

Charlotte spoke casually, and at this moment he felt a strong sense of excitement, as if he were participating in history.

Roger chuckled, his beard trembling, and slowly began to speak.

"Oden, you should do it now!"

"I have waited until this place to guide this article to its final destination!!!"

Kozuki Oden moved with lightning speed, and a series of ancient characters appeared on the Golden Bell moments later.

Like a mark of history, it will one day become a legend.

After everything was taken care of.

The Roger Pirates and the Heberfeller Family held a grand banquet.

Once again, the familiar melody of the sea song filled the air, and everyone sang "Binks' Wine"...

"Yohohoho, yohohoho!"

"Yohohoho, yohohoho!"

"Yohohoho, yohohoho!"

"Yohohoho, yohohoho!"

"Bring Binks' liquor to your side, and let it flow freely like the sea breeze..."

Kozuki Oden, showing off his muscular thighs, danced a Wano Country dance with a smile on his face and clapping his hands repeatedly, making Charlotte cringe with embarrassment...

However, the crowd shouted and cheered loudly, leaving Charlotte speechless. What was so interesting about this thing?

Those exposed, thick thighs with clearly visible leg hair have absolutely no aesthetic appeal. How can they compare to the legs of a beautiful woman?

This is a hobby that I really can't learn.

What made him even more speechless was that Beta actually copied him and started dancing like that, which made his veins bulge.

"Damn...this is too awful to look at."

Charlotte couldn't help but mutter to herself.

I gulped down a big mouthful of alcohol, hoping to numb my senses and save my eyes.

"Hahaha! Charlotte, don't sneak a drink by yourself! Come on, bottoms up!"

Roger shouted at Charlotte.

Charlotte forced herself not to watch the cringe-worthy dance and suddenly clinked glasses with Roger.

"drink!"

After saying that, he gulped down a large glass of wine, and Roger, seeing this, also gulped it down without hesitation.

Crocus saw the bulging, piercing veins on Roger's face and exclaimed, "Roger... are you out of your mind?!"

"Haha, it's nothing! With you here, Crocus, I'm doing just fine!"

Crocus was speechless for a moment, then sighed deeply and silently drank his wine.

Charlotte was also impressed; to face death with such composure was truly remarkable!

Everyone was drinking heartily and tearing into grilled meat; this is the unique and long-standing banquet culture of the One Piece world.

There's nothing a big meal can't solve; if one doesn't work, just have another.

The warm and cheerful atmosphere makes people forget all the troubles of the world.

At this moment, only boundless joy is being released.

"Bang bang bang!"

The clinking of glasses filled the air as people drank heartily, and men could be seen casually putting their arms around each other's shoulders and laughing loudly.

After a full day and night of revelry, the Roger Pirates finally embarked on their journey to find the final island once again.

Charlotte watched the Roger Pirates leave, her gaze deep and thoughtful.

The tide of time is about to rise, and when Roger returns, he will surely have become the true Pirate King.

It became famous across the seas and shocked the world.
