Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 409 Listening to the Elephant Lord tell stories of the past!

"A shameful thief?"

Storm wasn't entirely ignorant of ancient history, but he genuinely didn't know that Im could be associated with the particular profession of "thief."

"Whom did Im steal? How did he steal it? What did he steal?"

I don't know how Im did it, but—

The ancient voice of Ganesha contained an eternal rage.

"However, Im did indeed steal Uranus from Joy Boy!"

It turns out to be the Heavenly King!

Storm's eyes narrowed slightly; he had previously overlooked this information.

Joey Boy's connection to ancient weapons is undoubtedly profound.

This can be seen from the ancient historical texts guarded in Alabasta and Sky Jaya respectively. If there is no connection between Joey Boy and the Ancient Weapons, then why would the Kozuki clan go to the trouble of carving out two historical texts that record information and locations of the Ancient Weapons eight hundred years ago?

From this, we can also make a very simple deduction: during the great war eight hundred years ago, the ancient weapons belonged to the power of Joey Boy!

At least Pluto and Poseidon are firmly on Joey Boy's side!

In legends, ancient weapons possessed the power to destroy the world.

Why would such a legend circulate on the sea?

Of course, it's because in ancient times, someone used ancient weapons and almost destroyed the world!

Judging from the legends that have been passed down to this day, this "greatest pirate of all time" does not seem like a crazy pirate who would do anything wrong or even try to destroy the world.

Therefore, the person who uses ancient weapons to destroy the world must be someone else.

Moreover, this person can only use [Uranus, the Heavenly King]!

According to the legend of the "Celestial Dragons' National Treasure," also known as Uranus, which Storm had previously obtained from Donquixote Doflamingo.

In the past, especially during the Void Century, the World Government repeatedly used the power of Uranus to destroy certain forces and islands in the sea, which in turn caused the sea level to rise continuously.

Sea levels are rising, and land is being submerged...

Isn't this similar to the "flood that destroys the world" in myths and legends?

Based on information from Zunesha, Storm made a comprehensive summary: Eight hundred years ago, Im used unknown means to take Uranus from Joy Boy, causing a worldwide sea-rising event that nearly destroyed the entire world!

But there's one thing Storm doesn't quite understand.

Logically speaking, even if Im stole Uranus, shouldn't Joey Boy still have the Ancient Weapons Poseidon and Pluto?

Joey Boyd versus Im, two ancient weapons against one, how could he lose?

Storm knew exactly how "fragile" Im was.

The Conqueror's Haki sealed within Emmett's body, originating from Joy Boy from eight hundred years ago, was released on Egghead Island deep within the New World, causing Im, far away in Mary Geoise, to kneel and scream in terror.

If it were Joey Boyle himself playing, how much of his ability would Im be able to perform?

Storm couldn't understand.

Indeed, Joey Boy has the help of the Little Mermaid and the Pluto, the god of the underworld, as his vehicle, but...

The old voice of Ganesha was filled with deep regret.

"Im and her twenty-nation coalition have occupied the Red Line ahead of schedule!"

Storm immediately understood.

【Pluto】is a legendary, extremely evil warship.

【Poseidon】is the legendary king of the sea.

However, for these two ancient weapons, there is one point that can be described as "fatal."

That's the attack range of the two ancient weapons!

No matter how powerful the cannons of the Pluto ship are, can they really bombard the sea surface to a height of 10,000 meters?

Even if Poseidon, the sea king, is enormous, could he possibly fly from the deep sea to Mary Geoise?

But Uranus, the King of the Heavens, is different!

Uranus, the Heavenly King, possesses absolute air superiority, allowing him to launch targeted strikes against the sea surface at any time.

In terms of direct combat ability alone, Joey Boy is indeed no less than Im.

However, Uranus's "combat mechanics" are stronger than those of Poseidon and Pluto.

In particular, Im and her twenty-nation coalition forces occupied Mary Geoise on the Red Line ahead of schedule, gaining an absolute geographical advantage.

Air against ground, the king is right in front of you, how can you lose?

"Elephant Lord, there's still something I don't understand."

Storm rubbed his temples and spoke telepathically.

Even if Im could gain an absolute advantage on the battlefield, Joey Boy is more popular and has more demonic power. Even if he couldn't win, he shouldn't have lost so badly, right?

What did Joey Boy lose?

He lost, the Little Mermaid lost, the Great Kingdom lost —

All information about the Great Kingdom was forcibly hidden in history by the World Government, with only fragmentary information surviving to this day.

Joey Boy has almost lost everything.

"Because—Joey Boy voluntarily surrendered," the elephant spirit said sorrowfully.

Wait, wait a minute!

Storm couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This is a massive war!

The argument that they "admit defeat" is untenable.

In war, there is no "admitting defeat," only "surrendering," right?

Joey Boy surrendered?!

Storm was deeply shocked.

After calming himself down, Elephant began to explain the past to Storm in detail.

"-In the initial stages of the Great War, Joey Boy had the absolute upper hand."

—Im, using some unknown means, stole [Uranus, the King of the Gods] from Joey Boy.

"——- Even so, Joey Boyle still maintained an absolute advantage in the war, driving the G20 coalition forces into a series of defeats."

"----Im and the Twenty-Nation Alliance chose to retreat to the Red Earth. The Twenty-Nation Alliance easily defeated the "Kingdom of Gods" that was then entrenched on the Red Earth and completely occupied the Red Earth."

"---Relying on the geographical advantages of the Red Line and the attack range advantage of [Uranus], Im began to launch a frenzied attack on the islands in the sea.

""---Under the endless barrage of [Uranus the King], hundreds of ocean islands were completely destroyed, and the sea level rose wildly, submerging the original continents and turning them into islands.

—.-Joey Boy's power was also greatly affected by Im's desperate counterattack.

"---Im is still attacking the islands in the sea. She is trying to use the power of Uranus to raise the sea level by hundreds of meters until the sea is completely submerged, leaving only the red earth continent."

—In order to protect the world, Joey Boy ultimately chose to concede defeat, and the Great Kingdom was thus defeated.

Storm's head was throbbing from listening.

The story told by Zunesha differed slightly from the one he had previously heard from Don Quixote Doflamingo.

For example, according to information Doflamingo knew, the World Government's rampant use of the power of Uranus occurred during the "Void Century".

That was a sea cleansing operation launched by the World Government to destroy the remaining forces of the great kingdoms.

However, according to Elephant Lord...

The World Government did not use Uranus during the "Void Century"; it has been using the power of this ancient weapon madly from the very beginning, and even relied on it to achieve great victories in wars!

Doflamingo and Zunesha.

Whom should we trust?

The answer to this question is self-evident.

Storm would certainly choose to believe in Elephant.

After all, Doflamingo is just a "naturally evil Celestial Dragon brat" living in the modern era.

And what about Elephant Lord?

It is not only a super elephant that has lived for over a thousand years, but it is also a firsthand witness to a massive war!

Apart from Im.

On the high seas today, no one knows the inside story of the great war of that time better than Zelda!

However, this is the inside story revealed by Elephant Lord.

This left Storm speechless.

He had previously suspected that Joey Boy was a super-sized Kozuki Oden.

What does "super-sized Kozuki Oden" mean?

Because of his incompetence and stupidity, he lost everything, all his worthlessness, and inexplicably gained the support and worship of a large number of people.

Now that Storm has heard what Elephant Lord has to say, he has only one feeling.

Joey Boy is indeed a super-sized version of Kozuki Oden!

In order to protect the world, they chose to admit defeat and surrender.

How is this any different from Kozuki Oden choosing to perform a nude dance for Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido of the Beasts in order to protect some civilians in Wano Country?

Kozuki Oden lost, and Wano Country paid the price for him.

Joey Boyl lost, and the whole world is paying the price!

Is this Nika, the sun god?

Storm didn't understand it, but he was indeed deeply shocked.

Because so many secrets of the past had been told, the elephant god fell silent, as if calming down.

Storm also severed the mental connection and rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon into the territory of the Zou Kingdom.

Robin, Law, and Bepo observed Storm's expression.

Even Bepo, the little bear, realized that the captain didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"captain."

Robin asked softly.

"What did Zulu say to you?"

"Elephant Lord."

Storm turned to look at Robin, his expression incredibly complex.

If this archaeologist knew that the ancient history she was searching for was like this...

Robin will definitely be disappointed, won't she?

"Elephant God told me about the great war."

Storm took a deep breath and said calmly.

"Robin, do you want to hear what I have to say, or do you want to uncover history for yourself?"

Robin answered without hesitation.

"I choose to discover it myself!"

"Alright, let's go to the Whale Forest then."

Storm piloted the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and flew directly into the sacred land of the Kingdom of Zou—the Whale Forest.

According to the rules of the Kingdom of Zou.

Whale Forest is an absolutely forbidden area, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering.

But Storm didn't care about that at all.

If it weren't for Bepo's request, he would have used his Conqueror's Haki to deal with all the Mink Tribe members blocking his way.

After some persuasion using both emotional appeal and rational explanation.

Storm acquired the red historical text in the Whale Forest with great success.

The third red road sign historical text is in hand!
