Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 122 D and David

Birds sing and flowers bloom, and the grass grows lush and green.

For the second time in eight hundred years, the island of Rafudru has finally welcomed visitors, making it look like a paradise on earth.

The sky wasn't blue; instead, a strange force caused it to shimmer with seven colors, like the ultimate nautical chart in a navigator's dream. Tiny particles of light floated in the air, settling on everyone's shoulders.

Various animals never seen before in the outside world formed a complete ecological chain here, and were startled by Guan Yi and others who were moving through the forest, and fled in all directions.

The group of more than a dozen people remained silent as they made their way to the very center of the island, where they came across a stone tablet that stretched for hundreds of meters. This tablet was not one of the 30 historical texts recorded in the records, and its appearance and shape were quite different from those of the historical texts!

“Mama mama… The historical text that records everything, finally…”

The middle-aged woman was overjoyed, but after a few seconds, perhaps thinking of Ye Huohuo, she fell silent again and looked at Guan Yi and Robin.

"Does this stone tablet record what the Great Treasure is and its location?" She looked around and said, "As I've traveled along, I haven't noticed anything unusual about this island."

Robin had already quickened his pace and reached the vicinity of the stone tablet, where he solemnly began to interpret it.

"Humans are always trying to explore and master what can destroy them, both in ancient times and in modern times, in a never-ending cycle. Our world is experiencing a second destruction—Joy Boyle."

As if afraid of disturbing the spirits of the dead, Robin softly translated the inscription at the beginning of the stone tablet, and everyone fell silent, showing respect for history.

Joy Boy? Was the content of this historical text written by Joy Boy himself?
No.

Guan Yi has quickly read down.

Aside from the opening introduction, the subsequent record is more like a narrator's perspective, or rather, the perspective of Joy Boy, one of the crew members, impartially recording the history of this world.

First, there was the first destruction of the world.

That was many years ago, roughly back when this planet gave birth to humankind, humankind developed a collective consciousness, and formed the first human kingdom.

With the continuous development of technology, disputes arising from resources are increasing. Those who control more resources constantly exploit and plunder the remaining resources of the weak, turning the weak themselves into resources, that is, their slaves.

The kingdom expanded and grew in a distorted way.

Until one day—'Humanity, consumed by desire, touched the forbidden sun.'

By chance, that kingdom discovered a resource buried deep underground, a seemingly inexhaustible energy source.

So the king of that kingdom summoned his slaves to mine that energy source, hoping to create an eternal energy source—an artificial sun.

With the incessant exploitation of that energy source, the kingdom indeed acquired seemingly endless resources, and the lives of the king and nobles became extremely extravagant, in contrast to the miserable lives of the slaves.

Excessive labor claimed many lives, and close contact with that energy also exposed the slaves to radiation and various diseases.

The contradictions accumulated until they erupted.

Those slaves, who didn't even have names, called themselves 'D' and launched the first human rebellion for freedom!
The leader of these slaves was called 'Nikka the Sun God'.

"Is this the origin of the letter D?"

That resistance both succeeded and failed.

Led by Nika, the 'D's overthrew the kingdom that enslaved them and the world king who ruled the world at that time. However, the war dealt a final blow to the planet, which was already riddled with holes due to overexploitation, and disaster struck.

The god of the earth was enraged, and together with the giant serpent of hellfire, they swallowed the world with death and darkness.

The inscription on the stone tablet reads this, mostly describing earthquakes and volcanoes. Pure natural disasters destroyed the world.

The surviving nobles of the kingdom used the kingdom's remaining technology to escape to the moon, while some built arks and dived into the ocean.

The remaining majority were left to die on the ground. The disaster lasted for an unknown period of time. When it finally passed, more than 90% of the population had been wiped out, and among the survivors, a large number underwent various mutations.

Or rather—evolution!
To adapt to the post-apocalyptic world, they grew fur, their bodies became gigantic, they gained fish-like abilities to breathe in water, and they acquired long legs that allowed them to run faster and long arms that were more advantageous for hunting.

Different races were born.

They united and rebuilt a great kingdom!

When Robin translated this, the children that Big Mom brought couldn't help but look at each other, feeling quite astonished as they belonged to several different races.

It turns out that before the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Kingdoms... or more precisely, in the very beginning, all races evolved from ordinary people, and everyone was originally one family?

A strange emotion flickered in the old woman's eyes, and by this point, one-third of the content on the stone tablet had been translated. The middle third recorded 'the world is experiencing its second destruction'.

Please continue reading.

People learned from the lessons of the first destruction, but did not follow them completely.

This time, slavery no longer exists in the vast kingdom. Everyone is united and lives in harmony, yet they are still exploring the 'sun'.

Using the assets left behind by the First Kingdom, the Great Kingdom successfully created an 'artificial sun'!
It was an inexhaustible source of energy that brought about earth-shattering changes to the kingdom. Technology was advancing every day, and things that originally only existed in fantasy were constantly being brought into reality by scientists!

Exploring the stars was no longer a difficult task, and the people of the Great Kingdom soon discovered the descendants of those who had fled to the moon due to the disaster.

These people are not doing well. Although they have created a robot army on the moon and are making great efforts to exploit and utilize the moon's resources, the total amount of resources on the moon is far less than that on Earth.

After hundreds of years of mining, everything on the moon had reached the brink of depletion. They had gradually begun to explore the more distant stars, and it wasn't until the people of the Great Kingdom arrived that they realized the catastrophe on Earth was over.

Both sides engaged in friendly exchanges and shared technology.

These moon people returned to Earth and were accepted by the Great Kingdom. They gradually used their accumulated wealth on the moon and the legacy of the First Kingdom to establish 20 countries around the world.

For the centuries that followed, peace was the dominant theme of the world, and humanity's only adversaries were natural disasters and the sea monsters and sea kings that had also mutated during the world's first destruction.

However, the founders of these 20 kingdoms were mostly descendants of nobles from the First Kingdom, whose ancestors were the rulers of this world. Instigated by a few ambitious individuals, a war between the 20 kingdoms and the Great Kingdom gradually broke out.

This historical account includes the writer's narration: 'Perhaps that man also had an influence, but we were unaware of it at the time.'

'The captain is a very unique person; he seems to be born unconstrained by anything and wants to be the freest man in the world.'

He took us out to sea, on adventures everywhere, traveling to every country in the world. Fearing our power, many countries labeled us pirates—a rather unpleasant title.

'He even regarded the Sea Kings, another mutated species that everyone considered enemies, as beings he could communicate with, and actually became friends with several Sea Kings, changing our minds.'

We appreciate the beauty of the world.

We accept and embrace everything.

Therefore, when war broke out, we decided to intervene and restore peace to the world.

"But sadly, disasters can cause history to be forgotten. When we forgot that the royal family of that original kingdom was named 'David,' and allowed that man, Davy Jones, to board the ship as a mere deckmaster under the name D, perhaps our defeat was already sealed!"
