Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 278 Immortal Monster
Lu Chen then changed the question: "How long has the rumor about the Five Elders been circulating? How long do you think humans can live? Or do you think the Five Elders are a position?"

This question made Long even more fearful. If the Five Elders were a fixed number of five, then each of them should have lived for hundreds of years.

Long said in disbelief: "You mean they have always been the same group of people?" A trickle of sweat ran down his forehead.

Lu Chen nodded confidently and said, "Of course. Do you know what happened during those lost hundred years?"

"Isn't this something that's expressly prohibited?" Long answered with a somewhat uncertain tone.

Hearing this answer, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, people like you don't tell me that you have never felt curious about that hundred years of history."

Long smiled slightly and replied, "What I meant is that I don't have any way to obtain this information. The history is well concealed. Almost everyone who knows has been purged. So I have no way of knowing those things."

This is a very realistic problem. Long, who has always been in the navy, has no way of knowing this.

Lu Chen went off on a tangent again: "It is said that scholars in O'Hara are studying that period of history. They should be attacked by the government soon."

"You need me to reveal this news to them? What do you want those archaeologists to do?" Long became curious about Lu Chen's motive for saying this.

Lu Chen brought the topic back to the topic: "The pinnacle of world power is a person called Yimu. No one knows how long she has lived. No one knows any information about her. The Five Elders are directly controlled by her."

After hearing these fantastic answers, Long had completely forgotten his original purpose. He knew too much here.

"How do you know this?"

Lu Chen stared into Long's eyes and replied, "It doesn't matter how I knew this. What matters is that you know it now. This information alone is enough for the Five Elders to make up their minds to eliminate you."

Long couldn't help but smile. "I don't care. From the moment I left the navy, I never thought about going back. There's nothing worth staying there. There are only a bunch of tools fighting for injustice."

"You asked me before why the Celestial Dragons were able to sit in that position? Well, I'll give you the answer. It's because the ancient weapon, the Heavenly King, is in the hands of Yimu. They hold the power, and that's why the Celestial Dragons are able to hold on to that high position. And no one knows what kind of power Yimu herself possesses, but she can suppress the Five Elders. So she must be much stronger than the Five Elders. Otherwise, those five people would have enough opportunities to remove the huge rocks above their heads and become the true pinnacle of power."

Long ignored Lu Chen's speculation and took a step forward to ask: "Then tell me what happened in those hundred years? Why did the World Government try to eliminate all of this?"

Lu Chen casually sat in his chair and answered the question: "Do you know the legend about Joy Boyi? During that hundred years, a huge war broke out between Joy Boyi and the twenty royal families who were not yet Celestial Dragons. In the end, the twenty royal families representing the Celestial Dragons won the war, and Yimu was their leader. All this had nothing to do with justice, but only with power."

Long thought of the legend claimed by the pirates of Beehive Island, and a question blurted out: "Joey Boy? So you are really Joy Boy."

Lu Chen paused for a moment before continuing, "I don't think I am. Joyboy hasn't appeared yet. It's too early for Rocks, Roger, Whitebeard, or me."

"Do you know when Joy Boy will appear?" Lu Chen had no answer to this question. After Long appeared here, how would the story proceed? Would Luffy, who appeared according to fate, reappear?

So he shook his head and rejected the question: "I can't tell you that. Do you know the three legendary war weapons? Uranus, Pluto, and Pluto."

"I've heard of them. Do you know the specific information about these three weapons?"

"The King of Heaven is in Yimu's hands, there is no doubt about that. But the King of the Sea has not appeared yet. Do you believe in the prophecy?"

"You mean you can predict the future?"

"I'm not the only one who can do this. There's a little girl on Fishman Island who can also predict the future. Perhaps you could go look for her."

"Mercurs? I'll go there to find the answer later."

"The Sea King is the Mermaid Princess, but she hasn't been born yet. That's why I said we're all here too early. Only when the three great weapons come together can we overthrow Im, who possesses the Heavenly King."

Long asked confidently, "What about Hades? You must know where Hades is."

"Do you want to go look for it? The clue to Pluto is in Alabasta. The royal family there is one of the twenty royal families."

"Why don't you go look for it? I can see that you have great faith in power."

Lu Chen didn't care about this question at all: "Don't you believe in power? Then how do you plan to realize the justice in your heart? As for why I didn't go looking for it, of course it's because I know there's nothing to find in Alabasta. There's no point, so you don't need to waste your time."

"You've got it, right? I don't see any fear in you towards Yimu. So you're also someone who has survived from that time until now, right?"

Long put forward his own speculation about Lu Chen's identity.

He then continued with certainty, "That's why you freed the slaves, not because you harbored justice in your heart. You truly don't harbor hatred towards the Celestial Dragons, for you have fought a war before. You stood on Joyboy's side. He died, but you are still alive. The people of your era found a way to achieve immortality, and you have all lived from that era to the present. You, Im, and the Five Elders are all immortal monsters who have lived from that era to the present."

This guess made Lu Chen feel quite reasonable. If he hadn't known all this through the plot, he would probably have thought the same if someone had suddenly given him so much information.
However, Lu Chen was also happy with his guess, so he gave his own answer: "The way to live forever is to find the surgery fruit, and let the owner of the surgery fruit perform the immortality surgery at the cost of his own life."

Long understood a lot and nodded and replied, "No wonder the Operation Fruit is worth 50 billion berries."
