Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"No need, let's open it together!" Shark Star shook his head and said.

"Heh..." Naga smiled at Jinbe, then stepped forward and stood next to Shark Star, saying, "Come with me later. When I imprint my palm on it, you'll be with me too!"

“I understand!” Shark Star nodded and replied.

So Naga chanted the spell again, and together with Shark Star, they simultaneously pressed their palms onto the relief.

"Boom boom boom~~~~" The huge noise seemed to shake the entire Dragon Palace City.

"Oh no, Jinbe, you stay here with them, I need to go out and calm them down!" Neptune said immediately to the person beside him upon seeing this.

"Your Majesty, go quickly, leave this to me!" Jinbe nodded and said solemnly.

"Alright!" Neptune glanced back at Shark Star and Naga, who were still standing in front of the secret chamber door, before quickly leaving.

Not long after Neptune left, Shark Star and Naga retreated simultaneously, and the door to the secret chamber slowly opened.

"Huh~ Jinbe, where's Father?" It was only then that Shark Star realized that King Neptune was not here.

"When you two opened the door to the secret chamber, the entire Dragon Palace City began to shake. His Majesty was afraid that everyone would panic, so he left first to appease them," Jinbe explained.

"Is that so? Could it be that you're going to mobilize the army to kill me?" Naga said with a light laugh.

“To kill you… I don’t even need an army!” Jinbe couldn’t help but retort to the sarcastic Naga.

"You want to try?" Naga wasn't exactly known for her good temper either, and after being rebuffed by Jinbe, she immediately retorted.

"Alright, Naga! Let's go inside first!" Shark Star waved to Naga and said.

Although Naga still had a somewhat arrogant demeanor, she didn't say much after hearing Shark Star's words and went into the secret room first.

Jinbe and Sharkstar exchanged a glance before following him inside.

"What...what is this?" Upon entering, the first thing Shark Star saw was an open crystal coffin containing a skeleton. Judging from the shape of the skeleton, the person should be a mermaid.

"She should be our last Naga Queen!" the Naga said with some sadness.

"Please accept my condolences! But where is the legacy you mentioned?" Shark Star stepped forward and patted Naga on the shoulder, saying.

"All of this... is because of the mistakes made by your royal family!" Naga said, her eyes red as she stared at Shark Star.

"Sigh... Do you think... there's any point in talking about this now?" Shark Star lowered his head, sighed, and said, "You still want to find the Queen's legacy, don't you?"

Naga gradually calmed down, then bowed to the queen's remains before stepping forward and taking a bead from the remains's bosom.

Meanwhile, Jinbe stood behind Shark Star, looking around the secret room.

"Shark Star... Look over there!" Jinbe seemed to have discovered something, pointing to a row of bookshelves-like objects opposite him.

"Hmm? That's..." Shark Star looked up and saw a thin, letter-like document on an empty bookshelf.

Naga, who had obtained the bead, also heard Jinbe's voice and looked up toward the bookshelf.

The entire secret chamber was not large, and everything inside could be seen at a glance. Apart from a crystal coffin and skeleton in the center, there were only items on the bookshelves.

"This writing is...ancient writing?" Shark Star took a look at the letter and immediately recognized that the writing on it was ancient writing, because there was a historical text in the Sea Forest that contained such writing.

Chapter 441 Searching for Robin

“Ancient script…this is terrible! There probably isn’t anyone who can understand this script now!” Shark Star said with some regret.

Although I can't understand what's written on it, Shark Star guesses that it probably records the reason for the great changes in the Naga race.

"No!" Jinbe shook his head and said, "There are still beings in this world who can read ancient texts!"

"Who?" Shark Star and Naga looked at Jinbe at the same time and asked.

“Mr. Reina’s daughter, Nico… no, it should be Benedict D. Robin!” Jinbe said with a smile. “Mr. Reina’s wife is a member of Ohara, the holy land of historians in the West Blue, and Robin is a historian who inherited Ohara’s will and pursued the truth of history! She can read ancient texts!”

“Benelli D. Robin?” Shark Star was taken aback. Having lived on Fishman Island for many years, he knew nothing about Robin.

The Naga, who also spend most of their time hiding in the sea, had never heard of Robin's name.

“It’s alright, we’ll take this out and give it to Mr. Reina, he’ll translate it for us!” Jinbe said with a smile.

"No! This belongs to my Naga clan, and I must keep it with me!" The Naga shook his head, rejecting Jinbe's suggestion.

Jinbe watched as Naga snatched the letter from Shark Star's hand, and was about to say something when he heard Neptune's voice from outside the door. Neptune walked in, saying:

"There is very likely the real reason for the destruction of the Naga race in this! Regardless of whether Fishman Island was behind it, we absolutely must know the truth! You and Shark Star opened the door together, and you took the bead, so the letter rightfully belongs to us, doesn't it?"

"Besides, you can't prove right now that the letter belongs to your Naga clan! If the translation proves that the letter was indeed written by your clan's ancestor, then we will return the original letter to you! What do you say?"

Seeing that Neptune came alone instead of bringing soldiers to surround her, Naga hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, but... either send someone who can translate, or we go find him together. This thing can't leave my sight!"

“This…” Neptune and Jinbe exchanged a glance, sensing trouble.

If it were anyone else, given Neptune's influence, they would probably give him some money, but with Reina, it's hard to say.

As for finding him, they don't even know where the Moby Dick is now, so how are they supposed to find him?

And it's not enough to just find Reina; you have to find Reina's daughter first.

“Father, let’s contact Xuan Yue Island first! Let them ask Mr. Reina’s opinion, and then we’ll decide what to do. What do you think?” Shark Star saw Neptune’s troubles and immediately stepped forward to say.

He knew that even his own father wouldn't necessarily give Reina face, given his unpredictable temperament, so he quickly offered a way out.

“That’s good! After all, the Moby Dick is out at sea now, so it won’t be easy to find them!” Sure enough, Neptune immediately echoed Shark Star’s words.

“Didn’t you get the inheritance bead? Then while we’re gathering information, you should complete the inheritance first! Don’t worry, it’s safe on Fishman Island, no one will attack you!” Shark Star turned his head and said to Naga as she was about to speak.

Originally, Naga harbored deep resentment towards all the mermaids and fishmen on Fishman Island except for Shark Star. However, after arriving here, she discovered that the royal family of Fishman Island was not the same as she had imagined; they were not the selfish and self-serving royal family.

So she didn't refuse Shark Star's suggestion, but she didn't agree either; she just remained silent.

Seeing Naga's silence, Shark Star assumed she had acquiesced, so he took her out of the secret room and prepared a guest room for her.

"If you need anything, just have someone find me! You can rest here for a while, okay?" Shark Star said to Naga after settling her into the prepared guest room.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll seek revenge after I become the Naga Queen?" After a moment of silence, just as Shark Star reached the door, the Naga suddenly spoke.

"Hehe...can you do that?" As if possessed, the usually composed Shark Star didn't know why he said such a thing. By the time he realized it, the words were already out. To cover up his embarrassment, he quickly fled.

Meanwhile, Neptune, upon returning to the hall, immediately sent someone to contact Crescent Moon Island.

"This is Xuan Yue Island, please speak!"

After the Den Den Mushi connected, it was an intelligence agent from Gengetsu Island on the other end.

"Hello, this is Neptune from Fishman Island. May I ask who is in charge of Crescent Moon Island now?" Neptune asked the Den Den Mushi.

Although he was the king of Fishman Island, Fishman Island was nominally occupied by the Whitebeard Pirates, so even though he was just an intelligence agent, he was given considerable respect.

"King Neptune?" The intelligence officer was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Currently, Chief Frank is in charge of the daily operations on Crescent Moon Island! However, Captain Marco is also resting on Crescent Moon Island!"

The intelligence personnel on Xuan Yue Island naturally knew what Fishman Island meant to the Whitebeard Pirates. Even in the currently popular pirate version of Monopoly, Fishman Island was a place that had to be seized. So when he heard that the other party was the king of Fishman Island, he immediately perked up.

"Oh? Marco is here too? Could you please contact Captain Marco? I need to speak with him!" Neptune said with a smile as soon as he heard that Marco was on the island.

If Marco were to speak up, perhaps Reina could be persuaded to visit Fishman Island.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I will contact Captain Marco immediately!"

The intelligence officer put down his Den Den Mushi, picked up another one, and said, "Captain Marco... Captain Marco! If you hear this, please come to the communications room! If you hear this, please come to the communications room!"

Marco, who was having lunch at home with the Nochigo family, frowned immediately upon hearing the announcement on the radio.

This kind of broadcasting is nothing new; it can be done using Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and a loudspeaker.

In Frank's construction plan, because Xuan Yue Island was divided into two levels, above ground and underground, it was very inconvenient to transmit messages, so he installed a broadcasting system on Xuan Yue Island.

The communications room manages the broadcasts, allowing messages to be transmitted throughout the island at the fastest speed.

"Go on! Don't delay our business. I'll wait for you to come back so we can eat together!" Nojigao, who was sitting next to him, naturally heard the announcement on the radio. She immediately patted her husband and said softly.

"No need! You guys eat first, it shouldn't be anything serious! Dad and the others seem to have found something on the seabed a while ago, it's probably related to this!" Marco smiled and told Nojiko and the others to eat first, without waiting for him.

"Okay, I got it! Go ahead!" Noki laughed and handed the coat to Marco, replying.

Marco took the coat and put it on. After going outside, he spread his arms and transformed into a half-beast form, flying towards the communications room.

"Alright, let's eat first! We don't know when he'll be back!" A-Jian shouted to Nuoqi at the door.

"Belmel, you guys eat first, I'll wait for him!" Nojiko turned around and said with a smile.

"Alright, let her wait. Let's eat first!" Bellemere interrupted A-Jian when she saw he was about to say something.

“Okay!” Ah Jian replied with a shrug.

When Marco arrived at the communications room, he learned that it was King Neptune of Fishman Island and immediately connected to the Den Den Mushi.

"Ah, it's His Majesty Neptune! I am Marco!"

"Marco? Do you know where the Moby Dick is now?" Neptune asked with a smile after hearing Marco's voice.

"Huh?" Marco was taken aback. He assumed that the team sent by Fishman Island had failed to find the Moby Dick, so he paused for a moment before asking, "You didn't find the Moby Dick?"

Upon hearing Marco's question, Neptune knew that Marco had misunderstood and quickly explained, "No, the Naga matter has been resolved, but we need to ask Reina for help! To be precise, we need to ask her daughter, Benedict D. Robin, for help!"

"Robin? What do you want with her? I remember Reina saying before that she seemed to have gone to the East Blue, but Reina couldn't find her when he went to look for her before. It seems she went to the Revolutionary Army!" Marco said in confusion.

"The Revolutionary Army? When did you get involved with the Revolutionary Army?" Neptune asked in surprise.

Marco's face darkened, and he said, "We have no connection with the Revolutionary Army. Robin's captain, who is also Ace's brother, is the son of Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army!"

“Wait…wait…let me sort this out…” Neptune said, somewhat exasperated, “Robin is Reina’s daughter, right? And who is her captain…?”

“Monkey D. Luffy is Ace’s younger brother!” Marco replied with a smile.

"Ace? Fire Fist Ace? Are you Roger's son Ace? He has a younger brother?" Neptune asked in surprise.

"They're not blood brothers! They're sworn brothers. Luffy's father is Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army!" Marco quickly explained.

“…………” After hearing Marco’s explanation, Neptune felt even more confused.

"Who else is in their pirate crew?" Even Neptune was suddenly speechless at the sight of this pirate crew.

"I'm not entirely sure either, but you haven't said why you're looking for Robin yet?" Marco suddenly realized that the conversation had gone off-topic, so he quickly got back to the main point.

“It’s like this, I heard that Reiner’s daughter can read ancient texts? Of all the people I know, only Oden could read them, but as you know, Oden is already… so now we can only look for Reiner’s daughter!” Neptune said directly.

"Ancient script?" Marco was taken aback. He knew that Robin could read ancient script, but now that Robin was in the Revolutionary Army's territory, only her father and Reina, who had Robin's Vivre Card, could find her; no one else could.

So after Marco explained the situation, Neptune sensed that things were getting complicated.

"In other words, we still have to find Reina or Daddy!" Neptune sighed and said.
