Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 77 This ancient history is only written in two words (Bonus chapter for the generous reward of "Walking and Living Well").

"Boss, Mr. Edward is your first 'crew member'."

"right."

"And what about your boat?"

"Foolish! Are ships such inconvenient things? What are you riding now?"

"The Blue-Eyes White Dragon is certainly wonderful, but it's not a ship. Can it dive?"

"In fact, it is possible. In addition, we are about to start 'diving' now."

"Nani—gurgle gurgle—"

Amid Robin's scream, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon crashed headfirst into the 7,000-meter-high White Sea.

The endless sea clouds, like the endless seawater, effectively shut Robin up from saying the rest of her words.

Trivia.

The "sea clouds" of Skypiea also have a restraining effect on Devil Fruit users, just like the real ocean.

The feeling of weakness and powerlessness eroded every corner of Robin's body, and she could barely maintain the cross-legged position.

If it weren't for a pair of clay arms firmly gripping Robin's legs...

She would most likely fall off the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's back and perish directly in this boundless white sea of ​​clouds.

When the Blue-Eyes White Dragon broke through the thick white sea.

Robin felt a sudden lightness in her body. With her eyes closed, the first words she uttered were—

"Am I finally dead...?"

"Just a little bit more~"

Strom's words reached Robin's ears at just the right moment.

The archaeologist suddenly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a vast sea of ​​clouds.

Such a beautiful and magnificent natural landscape is definitely not something that "hell" should have.

"Boss."

"Um?"

"You... never mind."

"It doesn't count yet~"

"Um?"

"The 'sea' we just crossed is called the 'White Sea.' Now... can you see the sea clouds overhead?"

"No—ah—glug glug—"

When the Blue-Eyes White Dragon once again pierced through the White Sea.

Robin, covered in white sea clouds, looked as if she had endured some indescribable torment.

She lay limply on the back of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, too weak to even stand up and retaliate against Storm.

"Boss."

"Um."

"You're a bit petty."

"Um?"

"Will we have to go through another layer of sea clouds later?"

Robin asked, somewhat resignedly.

"Will there be another sixteen layers of sea clouds following behind?"

"What do you take this place for? The eighteen levels of hell?"

Storm walked over to Robin and looked down at the archaeologist lying on the dragon's back.

"I have good news for you. We have now reached a floating island at an altitude of over 10,000 meters."

"If we keep flying upwards, we might fly to the moon."

"Tsk! I have to say, from this perspective, Robin, you..."

"Your skin is a bit dark."

Hearing Storm's last words.

Robin, seemingly finding a sudden surge of strength, forced himself to stand up and glared at Strom.

But the next second, she was weak and powerless as she lay back on the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's back.

"Huff...huff...my body feels so uncomfortable, the air is so thin up there."

"It's clearly because you lack exercise."

Storm shook his head and gave Robin some time to adjust to the high-altitude environment at 10,000 meters.

"Why don't you rest for a while?"

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon flew slowly forward and soon arrived above the Island of Gods.

The white dragon flew over the lush forest and into the ruins of the golden city of Shandora.

During Enel's reign over Skypiea.

In order to build the "Ark of Wisdom," he plundered a large amount of gold from the ruins of Shandora.

What should have been a magnificent and beautiful golden city is now nothing but a scene of desolation.

Storm surveyed the ancient ruins, now devoid of gold, from his blue-eyed white dragon, searching for his target.

A huge golden bell located deep within the ruins came into his view.

That's it!

Storm rode the blue-eyed white dragon toward the location of the Golden Bell.

When the Blue-Eyes White Dragon flew to the vicinity of the Golden Bell.

Robin had rested enough.

She forced herself to sit up straight, eager to admire the legendary "sky island."

But when she saw the golden bell standing quietly on the platform directly in front of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Robin's eyes widened instantly.

What she cared about was not that golden bell that looked full of historical traces.

Rather, it is the huge stone beneath the Golden Bell, imprinted with strangely shaped square characters!

"That's... the ancient historical text!"

"That's right, this is the original text of the ancient history."

Storm rode the blue-eyed white dragon and slowly landed on the ground near the Golden Bell.

"Archaeologist, what did you just say about me?"

With the ancient historical text right before her eyes, Robin had to consider whether this might be her only chance in this lifetime.

Adhering to the principle of "seeking truth from facts," Robin looked at Storm and praised him without any embarrassment.

"I'd say you... are the most generous and magnanimous boss in the world!"

"That's good. Think of more words next time; I love hearing them."

Storm shrunk the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and he and Robin came to the ground.

Ignoring his boss's new demands, Robin ran towards the golden bell the moment he landed.

In the decade or so since escaping O'Hara.

Robin went through countless hardships, but only saw one piece of the Poneglyph.

But that was several years ago...

After Robin left the West Blue and entered the Grand Line.

Crocodile learned that she possessed the ability to decipher historical texts, so he recruited her into his ranks.

However, Crocodile did not provide Robin with the Ancient History Texts...

According to Crocodile, there is definitely a hidden Poneglyph in Alabasta.

The Neferutari family, the royal family of Alabasta, has guarded the Poneglyph for generations.

To obtain that historical text, we must plan carefully and proceed gradually.

He fought off pirates as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and became a hero of Alabasta.

At the same time, he secretly instigated chaos in the country, leading to the downfall of the king;

Finally, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he seized the throne and became the new king of Alabasta!

Robin admits that Crocodile's "plan to steal the country" is very detailed and comprehensive.

however.

This "plan to steal the country" had not yet been fully launched.

Then the white dragon arrived...

Robin ultimately did not get to witness the Poneglyph that the Alabasta royal family had guarded for generations, which was in Crocodile's mouth.

She thought she would miss a rare opportunity to access the historical text.

Unexpectedly, a golden bell actually exists on the Sky Island!

This is a piece of ancient historical text!

Robin walked firmly to the front of the Golden Bell.

Beneath the base of the Golden Bell stands a massive stone monument, imbued with the weight of time.

This is the original historical text!

Robin unleashes the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit, gently brushing away the thick moss covering the Poneglyphs.

The ancient historical texts revealed their true form before her.

Robin recalled how to read ancient texts and began reading the contents of the ancient historical records word by word.

"An ancient weapon bearing the name of a god, the location of Poseidon, the sea god..."

"Hidden in the deepest part of the ocean, ten thousand meters below the surface, lies Fishman Island..."

Ancient weapon, Poseidon, the sea god!

As Robin gazed at the text recorded on the ancient historical text before her, her pupils instantly contracted to a single point.

This ancient historical text located on the sky island actually records important information about ancient weapons!

And it's not even the [Pluto] that Crocodile had been pursuing.

It is another ancient weapon that also possesses the title of "god" - [Poseidon]!

Robin imprinted the information recorded in the ancient historical texts deep into his mind.

Just then, Storm's voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"So, are you satisfied with this ancient historical text?"

"Satisfied? Of course I'm satisfied!"

Robin was startled and turned to look at Storm, who had appeared beside her at some point.

"Boss, is this why you brought me to the Sky Island?"

"That's right."

Strom stared at the ancient historical text before him, oblivious to the change in Robin's expression beside him.

The instant the words "That's right" came out of Storm's mouth.

The brilliance hidden deep in Robin's eyes dimmed considerably in an instant.

So it turns out that the White Dragon, like the Sand Crocodile, was only after my "knowledge," and the legendary "Ancient Weapon"...

But before he could finish speaking, he stared at the ancient historical text in front of him and began to speak to himself.

"To be honest, I wasn't planning on recruiting you, Nicole Robin."

"I don't care about the history of this world either."

"What 'Void Century,' what 'Great Kingdom,' what 'D Clan,' what 'Ancient Weapons'... "

"This history has no dates, and on each page, written crookedly, are the words 'God saves the world.'"

"The more you learn about history, the more disgusting it becomes."

"The so-called ancient history is really just two words written between the lines—"

"Nika!"

When he said the last two words, Storm seemed to grit his teeth.

He once naively believed that "the Pirate King is the freest man on this sea."

The results of it?

Oh.

Robin, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

She knew that her new boss possessed many secrets about the ocean.

For example, the "little secrets of the sand crocodile" that she never mentioned but had been secretly observing.

For example... news she had never heard of about Haguvar D. Sauro's survival.

But no matter what...

This "Void Century," the "Great Kingdom," the "D Clan," the "Ancient Weapons"...

There was even "Nika," someone she had never heard of before...

These ancient secrets.

Let alone Robin.

Even the other archaeologists at Ohara back then didn't study it to this extent!

Robin stared blankly at Storm.

Who exactly is the archaeologist?
