One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

And with the passage of time, this place has become an island that is not much different from the outside world.

"The Final Island: Laugh Tale!"

"We're here!!!"

Peng!

The Merry sailed slowly, but when it reached the vicinity of the coastline, it suddenly accelerated, causing most of its bow to plunge into the land of Laugh Tale, a landing maneuver unique to the Merry.

One by one, the Straw Hat crew jumped off the bow of the ship, stepping onto the soft sand, and eagerly explored the interior.

Raphdru is neither a large nor a small place.

It is large because it is formed from the roots of the World Tree, and even if it were placed on the ocean, it would be considered a medium-sized or larger island.

But apart from that, there's nothing else to see on this island.

There were no rolling hills, no wetlands, and not even the slightest sign of life.

This space was so clean...it felt eerie!

"It seems that the entire Laugh Tale consists only of those things in the center of the island!"

In just over ten minutes, the Straw Hat Pirates conducted a thorough search of Laugh Tale, from top to bottom and inside to outside.

In the end, all they found in the center of the island was a series of historical texts and a huge skull that, though its age was unknown, remained black and gleamed with a metallic sheen.

Unfortunately, this giant skeleton was not one of Brook's kind.

It doesn't speak, and it doesn't have an afro; it's just a real, skeletal corpse.

Based on Red and Robin's deductions, they unanimously believe that the owner of this giant skeleton must be the hero who appeared during the Void Century—Joey Boy!

"Hey, Robin!"

"Come and see what's written on this!!"

Although Luffy didn't find the treasures that Pirate King Roger spoke of in Laugh Tale, the question of whether or not there were treasures was no longer important to him at this point.

After leading his crew to land on Laugh Tale, he had become the undisputed Pirate King!

So much so that today he even became enthusiastic about historical texts that he had never been interested in before!

Chapter 533 Congratulations, you've been tricked!

"Congratulations to everyone who has traveled a long way to get here..."

"You've been tricked!!!"

Robin stroked the Poneglyph, which was covered in the marks of time, but when she opened her mouth, she said something that made the Straw Hat crew suddenly freeze in surprise.

"Huh!? What!?"

Luffy, who was in high spirits, suddenly froze and stared at Robin with wide eyes.

Robin, equally taken aback, suddenly stopped translating and looked at the Straw Hat crew with a blank expression.

Crimson was the first to regain her senses. After taking a deep breath, she calmly said:

"Let's continue, Robin."

"This kind of thing isn't a big deal for us, is it?"

Perhaps because he had seen too many speculations before, Crimson was not too surprised.

After all, he had seen countless predictions that Buggy would eventually become the Pirate King, and had even seen many people seriously analyzing it...

From that moment on, he knew that the ending of One Piece was no longer important.

The most important thing is that it has a good ending.

"Hmm~"

After a moment of surprise, Robin nodded and then began translating the historical text word by word.

The number of historical texts placed here is not only enormous, but the content recorded on them also far exceeds the historical texts that Crimson and the others have seen before.

With such a vast amount of text, it took even Robin a full day and night to translate all the Poneglyphs.

At the same time, it also allowed the Straw Hat crew to learn about a grand yet comical historical drama.

The historical text here is less a record of past events and more a letter and a story that Joy Boy left for future generations of free people.

The origin of this story goes back even further than the blank century...

Ancient times!

According to Joy Boy's account, the ancient world was a world dominated by continents and supplemented by oceans.

At that time, the world was filled with countless races: fish-men, dwarves, mink, giants, demons, serpents...

Wars frequently break out between different races in the struggle for more resources to survive.

In that era, weak humans, lacking the power to fight against other races, held an extremely low status, usually serving as slaves or servants under the command of various powerful races.

It is unknown how long this situation lasted.

Until one day, a race with wings and capable of emitting scorching flames descended from the sky and defeated all the other races.

They either fled the continent and hid in the sea, or they became vassals of this race, just like humans.

The name of the race that unified the land world is none other than the Lunaria race, which can still be heard today!

Fortunately, the Lunaria are not a brutal race.

And they saw the shining point that distinguishes humans from other intelligent races—desire!

For some purpose, the Lunaria not only provided sufficient protection for humanity, but also promoted some of the elite among humans, ruling the world from a high and mighty position in the manner in which humans govern humans.

The reason the Lunaria do this is because they need a large number of living beings to provide them with willpower!

Indeed, willpower does not seem to be a power unique to Earth, and it is an important source of energy for the Moon People!

It was precisely because they mastered the use of willpower that the lunar people were able to acquire all sorts of powerful abilities and technologies in an era before civilization had even been formally established.

Furthermore, the Lunaria race, which split off from the Moon People, is itself a powerful race among the Moon People, whose strength far surpasses that of the other two Moon races.

The reason for this situation is that the Lunaria race possesses a mysterious treasure called the "Sun Crystal"!

Its abilities are similar to those of the Sunstone in the Elbaf celestial realm.

However, the power of the "Sun Crystal" is many times more terrifying than that of the Sun Stone!

As long as the sun crystal absorbs enough willpower, it will possess omnipotent power!

Spanning the cosmos, manufacturing weapons, creating technology, and imbuing inanimate robots with souls and intelligence...

It can be said that there is nothing that the sun crystal cannot accomplish, as long as it is something you can imagine.

However, it is precisely because of the omnipotent power of the sun's crystallization that the moon people's thinking has become increasingly rigid.

Because their own civilization had not yet been established, their knowledge was limited, and there were no external enemies to invade...

Over time, the people of the moon became increasingly complacent with the status quo, so much so that their desires dwindled, and the amount of willpower they could provide to the Sun Crystal became less and less!

In the later stages, the willpower within the sun crystals was even insufficient to provide basic energy for the "servants" they created.

Ultimately, having no other choice, the people of the moon chose to migrate as a whole. Guided by the crystallized sun, they arrived on the vast blue planet, intending to absorb the power of wishes on this planet.

And what follows is the story Moria witnessed in the secret chamber of Elbaf Castle.

Three races of lunar people arrived on the colorful Earth and each chose their own different way of life.

A group of people decided to abandon their dependence on solar crystals and learn from the natives of Earth, relying on their own strength to master the ability to survive.

Instead of being left with no way out when one's willpower is exhausted.

Based on Crimson's speculation, these lunar inhabitants are very likely the modern-day Shandians.

However, judging from the current situation of the Shandians, this act of voluntarily giving up their great power is undoubtedly unwise and a failure.

Lacking a solid cultural foundation, the Shandians quickly assimilated into the native Earth over time and became an integral part of the indigenous population.

They have even forgotten the glory of their ancestors' era.

The only thing that remains is the "glory" that they refuse to let go of, belonging to the Shandians.

But with the passage of time, even this "glory" has deteriorated, becoming increasingly cheap, leaving only a facade of pride and empty slogans.

On the other hand, while the other lunar inhabitants also do not intend to continue relying entirely on the power of solar crystals, they have not given up on the powerful energy of willpower.

After settling in the celestial realm atop Elbaf for some time, they successfully developed something that could also store the power of wishes, using the power of the sun crystals…

That is, the sunstone that exists in the celestial realm today!

Although the power of the sunstone is far less than one millionth of that of the sun crystal, it is a very good start for this group of lunar people!

They decided to delve deeper into this technology until they created a second "sun crystal"!

To better engage in their experiments, this group of lunar people took the opportunity to live in seclusion on a floating island where no intelligent life existed.

Using their newly developed technology, they successfully created various creatures on the sky islands that could meet their needs.

Sound Shell, Flame Shell, Water Shell, Light Shell...

As the variety of shellfish increased, this group of Sky Island Moon People experienced a recurrence of the situation they had encountered on the moon.

Once everyone's basic needs are met, their desires are weakened once again.

In order to prevent the tragedy on the moon from happening again, this lunar inhabitant also learned from the races on Earth and began to create classes and divisions to ensure that there would always be people who wanted to go to better places and people who wanted to get more.

The seeds of desire began to be sown in this lunar people, causing them to change their innocent and kind nature and become greedy and insatiable.

And the price is...

Driven by ever-expanding desires, civil war broke out!

In order to fight for the few remaining territories on the sky islands, these lunar inhabitants actually waged an unprecedented war!

The battle did not end until they determined the sole "god".

The word "god" also comes from their connection with the biology of Earth.

Because they learned that in the eyes of the creatures of Earth, the highest and most supreme being is "God"!

What these lunar people didn't expect was...
