Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

Robin sat in the corner of the deck, holding a thick book in his hands.

The book cover was dark brown, and the characters on it were some kind of ancient script that Bai Yu couldn't understand.

Her eyes moved across the pages, occasionally pausing to gently trace a passage with her fingers, as if pondering its meaning.

"Robin."

Bai Yu's voice came from the bow of the ship.

Robin looked up.

"Ok?"

"Do you have any clues about the Poneglyphs of Wano Country?"

Robin paused for a second, then closed the book.

"There should be a piece of the Poneglyph in Wano Country."

She said it in a tone that was calm and meticulous, characteristic of an archaeologist.

"There are four Road Poneglyphs in total, pointing to the location of Laugh Tale, which is the end of the Grand Line and the location of ONE PIECE."

"The Roadmark Historic Texts are not ordinary historical inscriptions; they are maps leading to the final island. Each piece is marked with a specific coordinate point. When you connect the coordinates on the four pieces, their intersection is Laugh Tale."

"But the historical records contain more than just this information. They also record the truth about the Void Century, the secrets of the ancient weapons, and the significance of the D clan."

A light shone in Robin's eyes.

“In Ohara, I learned that the stonemasons of Wano Country created these Poneglyphs by hand 800 years ago. They know all the secrets within them, and I want to find them and see with my own eyes the truth that the World Government has kept hidden for 800 years.”

Bai Yu looked at her and remained silent for a second.

"You already know a lot about Ohara."

Robin's smile turned somewhat bitter.

“What does Ohara know? Ohara only knows the tip of the iceberg. Dr. Clover spent his entire life only touching the edge of the truth, and that tiny edge is enough for the World Government to launch a Buster Call and wipe Ohara off the map.”

Her voice was calm, as if she were telling a story that had nothing to do with her.

“Eight hundred years of history have been erased. Can you imagine what that means? One hundred years is enough for a civilization to go from barbarism to prosperity, enough for an empire to go from prosperity to destruction, enough for several generations to grow old, get sick and die.”

"And this world was missing for a full hundred years."

"I want to know what happened in those hundred years."

"I want to know why the world government hid those hundred years."

“I want to know who Im is, where he comes from, and what he wants.”

After Robin finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu remained silent.

He remained silent for a long time, so long that Robin thought he wouldn't say anything more.

"Then let's go find it."

Bai Yu finally spoke.

"No matter what is hidden in those eight hundred years, no matter who Im is, no matter why the World Government hides that history, we will go find it and see it with our own eyes."

He turned his head, looked at Robin, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Then we'll make a decision."

Robin looked at him, but the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a smile that Bai Yu often saw on her face.

It was a genuine, heartfelt smile, tinged with a girlish joy.

"Ah."

She said one word.

It was as light as a petal falling onto the sea.

The Dawn continued its voyage.

On the seventh day, some changes began to appear on the sea surface.

The seawater was no longer the usual deep blue, but had a strange bluish tint, as if something had dissolved in the seawater, giving it a different color.

Occasionally, one or two enormous seabirds will appear in the sky, with wingspans of over ten meters, circling over the sea and emitting sharp cries.

Bai Yu stood at the bow of the ship, his eyes narrowed.

"Coming."

He said.

Rangiku walked up to him, toying with her Zanpakuto in her hand, the blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Her hair was a mess from the sea breeze, but she didn't seem to care.

"Captain, what kind of place is Wano Country?"

She asked, her tone as casual as if she were asking what to eat for dinner.

"I've heard there's a group of very powerful warriors there."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Wano Country, a country in the New World, the latter half of the Grand Line."

"It's a very strange place."

"What's strange about it?"

"It is not among the member states of the World Government, nor does it receive outsiders; even naval ships cannot enter."

Bai Yu said, her voice tinged with curiosity.

"A country that has been closed off for hundreds of years, not communicating with the outside world, not accepting outsiders, locking itself in a shell isolated from the world, is precisely one of the strongest countries in the world."

"The samurai of Wano Country are hailed as the world's greatest swordsmen. Their swordsmanship, their skills, and their spirit are among the best in the world."

"Moreover, Wano Country is the origin of seastone, and all seastone in the world comes from here."

Rangiku raised an eyebrow.

"Seastone? That stone that makes Devil Fruit users unable to exert their strength?"

"Correct."

Bai Yu nodded.

"The artisans of Wano Country can process seastone into any shape and make anything, which is something that cannot be done anywhere else in the world."

"I heard from Shanks that Kaido and the Beasts Pirates are stationed in Wano Country. They control the country and have turned it into their weapons factory. They have accumulated a lot of wealth and power through Seastone and the arms trade."

Rangiku whistled.

"That sounds like an interesting place."

"interesting?"

Bai Yu smiled.

"Maybe, but it's also a very dangerous place. The samurai are strong, the Beast Pirates are strong, and we might not be welcome here."

"After all, it's a closed country. If outsiders come in, they'll treat us as invaders."

Rangiku shrugged.

"It's not like we haven't been invaders before."

Bai Yu looked at her and couldn't help but laugh.

"you're right."

On the morning of the eighth day, Robin was the first to notice the anomaly.

She came out of the cabin, holding a teacup, and was about to go to the deck for morning tea when she suddenly stopped.

Her eyes widened as she stared at the sea ahead, her pupils reflecting a huge, blurry object that seemed to be hanging down from the sky.

"captain!"

Her voice carried a rare hint of curiosity.

Bai Yu rushed out of the cabin and followed Robin's gaze.

Then he was stunned.

A wall appeared on the sea ahead.

It's not an ordinary wall.

It was a colossal wall made of rock, reaching straight into the clouds, with no visible top, stretching across the entire horizon.

Its height is beyond description; any language seems pale and powerless in its presence.

Bai Yu made a visual assessment.

Thousands of meters.

At least several kilometers.

Those cliffs and precipices are like a giant knife, cleaving the sea in two from the sky.

The surface of the giant wall is covered with cracks and dents, and is overgrown with moss and unknown plants, but it still cannot conceal its primitive, brutal, and unreasonable magnificence.

Everyone on the Dawn went up to the deck.

Artoria stood beside the mast, her golden hair fluttering in the wind. Her face was expressionless, but there was something in her eyes that Bai Yu rarely saw.

That was curiosity.

It was a kind of curiosity about something beyond imagination.

Kanna had somehow run out of the cabin and was standing on the railing at the bow, her little hands gripping the railing, her eyes wide as saucers.

"White feathers! White feathers! What are those?"

Her voice was full of the excitement and wonder that is unique to children.

"Those are the walls of Wano Country."

Bai Yu said.

"So high! So high!"
