Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 368: A powerful figure whose mere name is enough to shock the world!

It turns out.

No civilization's history should be blank.

Whenever a gap appears in historical records, kind-hearted people will voluntarily help fill it in.

The history filled in by these well-meaning people, whether true or false, will gradually replace the past history and usher in the real history.

The history that Akihara Kagura wrote herself is highly questionable in terms of authenticity, because its existence is merely a product of a scapegoat attacking the World Government, and it will only be accepted by the general public who are unaware of the truth.

but…

That's enough.

It will be difficult for world governments to clarify the rumors.

Unless they can find the legendary treasure, or get the world king hidden in Mary Geoise to come forward and tell the history of the past.

but…

What's the point then?

Who knows if what they're saying is true or false?

Anyway, everyone knows that the world government is no longer trustworthy!

That's about it...

Kagura Akihara glanced at the stack of papers Karin had written down, then lightly tapped her fingers on the table: "Why isn't the battle at Drum Island port over yet? No one's going to die anyway, might as well just end it already..."

"It should be over now."

Karin closed her eyes; her perception was enough to cover the entire island: "Admiral Aokiji was powerless to stop them, the Konoha Pirates have retreated, and everything happening at the port is proceeding according to Lieutenant Kagura's plan..."

At the port of the Drum Kingdom.

When Aokiji led the Navy to provide support, he happened to see that the Buggy Pirates had already set sail again, and the purpose of letting Buggy the Clown go had been achieved.

"The Ice Age!"

Aokiji's powerful, decisive release of cold air completely froze the entire sea area, but it couldn't stop the Konoha Pirates' escape!

All the navy personnel present could only watch helplessly as the nine enormous wooden dragons broke through the ice and emerged, dragging the massive ship away into the distance.

Aokiji leaped into the air, using Moon Step to gain momentum and chase after the large ship. In an instant, sharp sword energies flew out and struck Aokiji!

The admiral's body instantly shattered into pieces!

Aokiji was forced to transform into his elemental form, turning into ice shards that scattered across the ice surface. The ice shards on the surface quickly spread and merged, slowly reforming his body.

Obviously.

It was obvious to everyone that Aokiji could not catch up with his opponent alone. The admiral seemed to have done his best, and even the freezing of the entire port could not stop his opponent.

"Um?"

Aokiji turned to look at the group of shocked Marines, but didn't see Akihara Kagura among them. He ruffled his hair and said, "Arara... I'll report this to headquarters. You don't need to stay here any longer. Go do what you're supposed to do!"

"General Aokiji..."

A group of sailors were unsure how to begin.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku was also a participant.

In a sense, Sengoku the Buddha could also be called the mastermind behind Buggy the Clown's escape, as he proactively reported the location of the warship escorting Buggy the Clown to the Konoha Pirates.

In the Admiral's office.

Sengoku was finally relieved to hear that Aokiji had been released: "Don't worry about the trouble Buggy caused by escaping. First, get back to Marineford and tell me in detail about that pirate crew. I need to know more about them..."

After receiving Aokiji's Den Den Mushi, Sengoku did not hold a grudge against Aokiji for being captured by the Konoha Pirates. He was not a pedantic admiral, nor would he blame Aokiji for it.

Sengoku was more concerned with Aokiji's safety and information about the Konoha Pirates. For the Navy, Aokiji's release and return would be the most worthwhile deal...

The only troublesome thing...

It was probably the Five Elders' criticism.

There's no need to worry about that, since the Konoha Pirates have already agreed to take the blame.

As soon as Sengoku obtained information about the Konoha Pirates, he would go directly to Mary Geoise to report to the Five Elders, claiming that a powerful pirate crew had emerged and was specifically targeting the Celestial Dragons.

then…

This is a problem that should be a headache for the Five Elders.

At least during this period, the Warring States period did not want to provoke this trouble.

"But... I want to find out where they went..."

Aokiji held a Den Den Mushi in his hand, worried about Akihara Kagura's troubles, fearing that she might obtain the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

just now…

He has less than a month left to deal with Akihara Kagura.

Just as Aokiji was pondering whether or not he should mention Akihara Kagura to Sengoku, he saw Akihara Kagura holding a glass of pear juice, smiling with her eyes narrowed as she walked towards him, gesturing for him to be quiet, seemingly not wanting him to continue talking to Sengoku.

"Once I found out where they were, I rushed back to Marineford."

After Aokiji finished speaking, he immediately hung up on Sengoku's Den Den Mushi.

"Do you need me to tell you where they went?"

Kagura Akihara watched Aokiji's actions and said with a smile, "After all, you're one of us now, so there's no need to hide this from you. They've uncovered some secrets left behind by Nefertari Lily, one of the Twenty Kings who participated in the founding of the World Government."

"Wait, this surname..."

Aokiji's brows furrowed tightly, then his expression changed in an instant, and his eyes twitched: "If I remember correctly, the surname Nefertari seems to belong to the royal family of the Alabasta Kingdom, but the Alabasta royal family does not reside in the Holy Land Mary Geoise..."

"them…"

"Going to Alabasta..."

Aokiji immediately realized that Alabasta must be hiding a huge secret.

For years, Aokiji had been keeping an eye on the little girl who survived the Ohara massacre twenty years ago, and he knew that the little girl was hiding in Alabasta!

twenty years ago.

Ohara is a world-renowned archaeological site.

Archaeologists in Ohara were studying ancient scripts in that sacred site, trying to decipher the past through the ancient scripts and Poneglyphs. Naturally, this was unacceptable to the World Government, which wanted to erase history forever, so they launched a Buster Call against Ohara, ordering the Navy to destroy the entire city.

All the scholars who studied ancient scripts perished in that naval disaster. There was even a tragic incident where a vice admiral brazenly attacked a refugee ship in an attempt to eliminate scholars hiding among civilians.

It was during that disaster…

Aokiji gradually became lost and couldn't find his direction in life.

but…

Ohara was destroyed.

The seeds of archaeology continue to grow stubbornly throughout the world.

During that disaster, Aokiji released a little girl named Nico Robin.

However, Nico Robin has been burdened with the title of "Devil's Child" and a bounty of 79 million Berries since childhood, which makes it difficult for her to even find a job to make ends meet.

Nico Robin chose to enter the dark underworld, hiding and surviving by betraying others among various factions.

However, all of this came to an abrupt end four years ago.

Nico Robin joined Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who lived in Alabasta, four years ago, and has never betrayed him since.

Nico Robin is an archaeological genius who has mastered ancient writing since childhood. She would not have cooperated with Crocodile for no reason; there must be a secret Crocodile is hiding.

Or rather...

Crocodile knows the secrets of Alabasta.

Nico Robin certainly wants to uncover the secrets hidden in Alabasta as well.

The little girl was now twenty-eight years old and had grown into a beautiful woman, yet she still held onto her dream of becoming an archaeologist.

The royal ancestors of Alabasta participated in the founding of the World Government. The land where they have lived for generations must be hiding a history that the World Government does not want the world to know. That history may very well be revealed by Nico Robin in Alabasta!

The Konoha Pirates, Crocodile (one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea), and Nico Robin (an archaeologist) – if they were to come together and uncover the secret of one of the former Twenty Kings hidden in Alabaster, it would be a momentous event!

Alabasta…

It could very well become the starting point for a change in the future world order!

The entire world will be affected by the secrets hidden in Alabasta, and all those involved will be regarded as a danger that the World Government must eliminate!

Especially Nico Robin, the only surviving archaeologist from Ohara, will inevitably become a tool for the Konoha Pirates or Crocodile to uncover the secrets hidden by the World Government for these dangerous individuals. The World Government will never allow her to live any longer!

same…

The entire world will be thrown into turmoil because of Alabasta. No one knows how astonishing those secrets are. Perhaps the secrets within will cause the whole world to go crazy!

On Drum Island.

It's still snowing and freezing here.

Aokiji is also a Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit user, and he should be the calmest person in the world, yet he is still shocked by the major event that may be about to break out.

If it were just Crocodile and Nico Robin, this matter might not be worth Aokiji's attention; he might think it wouldn't cause too much trouble...

but…

The Konoha Pirates are going to get involved...

What astonishing secrets does Alabasta hold that would draw the attention of a terrifying force like the Konoha Pirates?

The Konoha Pirates are capable of rivaling the Four Emperors!

This formidable force also headed to Alabasta at this time, surely knowing just how much of a storm Alabasta's hidden secrets could stir up on the high seas!

Aokiji's expression gradually turned serious, and he asked, word by word, "Among the twenty kings who founded the World Government eight hundred years ago, what secret did the one from the Alabasta royal family leave behind in his homeland...?"

Aokiji had no doubts.

No one could possibly doubt it.

Who would doubt that he was one of the twenty kings who founded the world?

Moreover, the king of Alabasta did not allow his descendants to live in Mary Geoise, and the Alabasta royal family did not wreak havoc on the world like the Celestial Dragons of Mary Geoise…

This also means…

That king was not arrogant.

Aokiji's mind raced, undoubtedly containing information about the "Void Century" that the World Government had been trying to seal away. He just didn't know how much information it contained, or where it was hidden...

"Would Admiral Aokiji also be curious about those secrets?"

Akihara Kagura's lips curled up, and her smile became mysterious.

"Nobody isn't curious, right?"

Aokiji's voice was somewhat dejected and hoarse. He wanted to learn those secrets from Akihara Kagura, or at least get some information, so that things wouldn't eventually spiral out of control.

"terribly sorry."

"That will have to wait until we find the underground palace built by that king."

"The news of that underground palace was extremely well-kept secret. Even the royal family of Alabasta did not know that their ancestors had built an underground palace in the vast desert. Eight hundred years of wind and sand covered it, causing the already hidden underground palace to completely disappear into history..."

"but…"

"Some scattered news has still managed to circulate."

"Among these scattered messages, just the few names that have been erased from history by the World Government, any one of them is enough to shake the world's strongest individuals..."

"..."

A hint of confusion flashed in Aokiji's eyes.

Just a few names…

Can it really shake the whole world?

This kind of thing inevitably sounds a bit incomprehensible to some.

Even Aokiji couldn't have imagined that it was just a name. No matter how much information it contained, could it really surprise people?

"Nafrutelli D. Lily".

Akihara Kagura casually mentioned the name: "This is the name that the king who left behind the underground palace, as far as we know, actually used. This name seems to have been erased from history, and the Alabasta royal family also gave up using the pseudonym D..."

"..."

Aokiji's pupils suddenly contracted.

Aokiji didn't hear what Akihara Kagura said next; he only felt his brain nerves being electrocuted in an instant!

As a naval admiral, Aokiji had heard some rumors.

The D clan is a powerful force on the high seas, and some individuals with the strength to overturn the world always emerge. The Celestial Dragons have always regarded the D clan as their natural enemy.

The World Government gradually erased many prominent figures from history from the D. clan. Some, however, could not be erased, such as the Pirate King Gol D. Roger. Due to his immense influence, the World Government changed his name to Gol D. Roger…

but…

How could the royal family of Alabasta be members of the D clan!

Alabasta's ancestor was one of the twenty kings who founded the World Government, and even 800 years ago he could make his descendants become Celestial Dragons who considered themselves gods and creators and lived high in the Holy Land Mary Geoise!

The Celestial Dragons and the D. clan seem to have always been irreconcilable enemies!

"..."

Aokiji's mind was in complete chaos.

At least at this moment, Aokiji was absolutely certain of one thing.

The spy named Akihara Kagura is right. Just one name is enough to shake the powerful figures on the sea, not to mention that person left behind a hidden underground palace that has been concealed for eight hundred years. The underground palace must explain the relationship between the Celestial Dragons and the D. clan...

"Looks like I need to get to Alabasta as soon as possible..."

Aokiji made up his mind. He thought of the little girl who had struggled to survive amidst the world's suffering: "Don't cause any big trouble before I get there... Nico Robin... I don't want to kill you again."

This is so damn hard to write...

Why not just use some unofficial history to replace the real thing...?

To avoid being betrayed again...

Latest intelligence suggests that Shanks' father might be the commander of the Celestial Dragons' Knights of God...

alright…

The second generation of Celestial Dragons has appeared...

We can't call Luffy the second generation anymore; he's clearly the third...
