One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 290 The Long Poem of Elbaf
"I see. He was just treating Sauro, while Bibro was surprised."

Inside the Owl Library.

The giants sat together, nodding helplessly as they looked at the enormous owl beside them.

"Cuckoo!"

The owl, however, widened its eyes, indicating that it wasn't that it was making a fuss over nothing.

In fact, as the curator of the owl library, Biblo possesses wisdom no less than that of humans and is quite knowledgeable.

Therefore, it is not only responsible for managing the Owl Library, but also serves as the entire source of intelligence for Elbaf to the outside world—it obtains almost all the newspapers in Elbaf.

That is why it naturally recognized Wu Ma's identity and was also surprised by the abilities Wu Ma displayed.

"It is indeed an incredible ability."

At that moment, Sauro touched his own body.

At this point, his old wounds were almost completely gone.

And the weakness that had plagued him ever since the Ohara incident also disappeared.

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency Wu Ma! Hehehe!"

He sincerely thanked Wu Ma.

Surrounded by the giants, Wu Ma smiled and waved the book he was reading and a glowing stone in his hand: "Don't mention it, it's just an exchange for reading the books here."

"Besides, you are Xin Yuehu's benefactor after all."

He laughed like that.

"Hey, come on, the books here are open to the public, anyone can come and read them."

"As for sunstones—although they are a specialty of Elbaf, we don't have much of them here."

Saul waved his hand and said, "But I really didn't expect Robin to have joined the Zodiac now. I'm relieved."

Wu Ma smiled and nodded: "Yes, Chen Long will also bring her to Elbaf to meet you in a while."

Their words, however, revealed exactly what had happened here.

Yes.

About half an hour ago, Wu Ma suddenly appeared outside Warrior's Fountain.

At that time, Saulo and Bibro's first reaction was naturally that they were invaders.

But then Biblo recognized Wu Ma as one of the twelve constellations, and Wu Ma took out the token that Robin had prepared before they came.

Incidentally, when Chenlong told Robin that Saul was still alive, the usually calm 'Demon Child' immediately had tears in his eyes.

In fact, if Robin hadn't known that the Twelve Constellations' recent actions required extreme secrecy, she would have insisted on coming in person no matter what.

And what happened after that was perfectly logical.

Since he was Robin's friend, Saul naturally no longer regarded him as an intruder.

The two not only had a very pleasant conversation, but Saulo even granted Wuma's request to look at the books in the Owl Library and gave him a sunstone.

In exchange, Wu Ma healed Saul's old injuries.

However, at this moment, while speaking with Sauro...

Beneath Wu Ma's mask, Roy's expression also held a hint of contemplation.

Yes.

After leaving the Moby Dick.

Roy then decisively created another fragmented clone, namely 'Wu Ma'.

Wu Ma's target was Elbaf.

The reason is quite simple—Loy urgently needs a way to obtain the source energy of the bloodline factor.

Of all the places on the entire ocean that he knows of that might be related to bloodline factor energy and might hold great secrets, only 'Fishman Island' and 'Elbaf' are known to be.

After all, Roy had personally witnessed the origins of these two islands on the murals of the Abyss—the Treasure Tree Adam and the Sun Tree Eve were essentially the roots of that 'Pillar of the World'.

However, considering that the deep sea where Fishman Island is located is inconvenient to enter, and that the chances of being discovered by the World Government and Navy if one goes to Fishman Island, it is not an option.

So in the end, he chose to come to Elbaf first.

His first stop was the Owl Library—a place that records all of Elbaf's history, making it the perfect choice for intelligence gathering.

[Heavenly beings descended upon the earth, bringing with them a giant tree that created all things.]

In the beginning, all the races were enslaved until the sun god came—he saved the world, and he also destroyed it.

The people in the sky were driven back to the sky, leaving only the trees behind.

The First King gained power from the tree and completed the 'Great War'.

King Ymir submits to the First King, offering his loyalty and valor, and praying for his homeland and kingdom.

The First King granted his wish, and thus the battlefield was born.

The usurper betrayed the king and usurped the world.

[Therefore King Ymir inscribed the divine texts] [We fight here to please the god of Elbaf]

We live here, praising the god of Elbaf.

We wait here, awaiting the God of Elbaf.

"As expected of the giants."

At this moment, Wu Ma looked at the book in his hand—this book, called "The Long Poem of Elbaf," was one of the oldest books in this country, said to have been recorded by giant scholars hundreds of years ago.

In the world of ordinary humans, almost none of these ancient books have survived.

But among the giants, whose average lifespan is over two hundred years, this book, which records great secrets, is accessible to almost everyone.

And without a doubt.

What is recorded in the book is the greatest secret of this world.

"King Ymir must be the name of the giant king from eight hundred years ago."

By referring to the murals on the Abyss, Roy could naturally deduce the truth.

According to the murals on the Abyss, giants and other special races already existed a hundred years before the Void Era, in an even more ancient time—they were the original races of this world.

Davy Jones, on the other hand, obtained the power of the abyss, conquered the sea and the entire world, and thus became the First King.

It's not hard to guess that the giants, as a race that worships the strong, likely chose to venerate the power of Davy Jones after being defeated by him.

King Ymir became Davy Jones's partner and made great contributions to the establishment of the 'Great Kingdom'. In the end, he and the Fish-Men were granted a branch of the 'Tree'.

After Davy Jones was betrayed by the original twenty kings, King Ymir, who was Davy Jones's partner, likely also chose to join the war.

It was only after Davy Jones' defeat that King Ymir, following Davy Jones's wishes, inscribed the so-called divine canon—Loy knew that this divine canon should refer to the 'Halley Canon' passed down through generations of giants, which was the content inscribed in the mural in Elbaf.

And you should know.

It took Roy a considerable amount of time to uncover the truth of these historical events.

But for the giants, this thing was simply written in a book.

even
"The first part of this long poem seems to date back to a much earlier time?"

Roy has already discovered this.

"The celestial beings brought down the giant tree. Does this mean the origin of the 'Pillar of the World'? It wasn't a natural creation, but was brought down by the celestial beings?"

"The sun god destroyed the world and then created it. This sun god certainly isn't Joy Boy, but rather the first Nika?"

Even for Roy now, this was something he had never heard of before.

[People in the heavens].

The word was so specific that Wu Ma almost immediately came up with a guess.

"Sky Islanders, or rather, the ancestors of the Sky Islanders—the Moon People?"

As mentioned before, there are people living on the moon in this world.

They possessed extraordinary technology, enabling them to travel across the stars in spaceships and arrive in this world from the moon.

The Sky Islanders of today are descendants of the Moon People.

"The Pillars of the World are a creation of the Moon People, huh? Or perhaps a technological creation like an 'environmental modification project'?"

"They enslaved the world, and Nika overthrew them?"

Roy frowned.

Yes.

Nika the first was the legendary first 'liberation warrior' and the 'sun god' symbolizing freedom.

Roy was always curious about who this liberation fighter had liberated—after all, logically speaking, the World Government shouldn't have existed in the era of the first Nika!
In retrospect, his opponent at that time was likely the 'lunar people'.

It was precisely because he overthrew the Moon People that the Pillar of the World lost its master and became the 'creator' of this world.

"In other words—if the Moon People still existed, it's very likely that 'Im' wouldn't have been born."

Roy still felt a little strange when he thought about this.

If his guess is true—the liberating warriors overthrew the world's 'slave owners,' but the next 'slave owner' was also given the opportunity to be born.

"The original Nika."

Wu Ma murmured to himself, then shook his head inwardly.

He was curious about the original Nika, but that was all.

That was such an ancient figure—he didn't think he would ever have any interaction with him.

So at this moment, compared to the events of the original Nika.

What Wu Ma cared about more was actually
[The 'Sunstone', a creation of lineage factors, has been discovered]

[It contains trace amounts of lineage factor energy]

His gaze fell on the strange mineral in his hand, which radiated the glow of the sun, and his eyes flashed with sharpness.
