Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Dorag can transform into wind by elementalizing and enter the underground passage directly through the cracks, but Yann cannot do that.

Furthermore, the royal mausoleum is constantly patrolled by a large number of guards, and even the slightest disturbance will alert them.

Neither Dragon nor Yann wanted to see the Alabasta Kingdom be alarmed, leading to other unforeseen events.

"Should I bring Mori over here, and then open up a passage?" Dragon suggested.

Yaen shook his head in opposition.

“Mori is still on the Red Line. It would take too long to transfer him here, and besides, Mori’s size as a giant is too conspicuous.”

"Then let's just knock all those guards out," Dragon suggested bluntly.

"Too risky..."

Y'en frowned slightly, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "I'll give you a split second. Don't worry about making any noise. Can you open that underground passage?"

“No problem,” Dragon replied confidently.

"Alright, then get ready. The moment the thunder roars, make your move."

Yone spoke to Dragon first, then spoke directly into the air, "Enel, can you hear me?"

The next moment, a muffled thunderclap resounded in the sky.

"Bang!"

Immediately, Yann couldn't help but smile.

Enel's Observation Haki, which he named "Mind Web," has an extremely wide range and the ability to hear others speak from a great distance.

Therefore, Yann was not surprised at all by Enel's response.

"Enel, create a loud thunderclap in an uninhabited area near the cemetery in a moment," Yann said.

"Boom!" Another muffled rumble of thunder echoed in the sky.

Immediately, the next moment, a dazzling bolt of lightning flashed down from the sky in Enel's direction.

"Right now."

As soon as Yann's voice reminded him, Dragon didn't hesitate to form three dragon claws with his five fingers and grab at the ground in front of him.

"Dragon's Claw!"

"boom!"

Just as the thunderous roar resounded throughout the entire capital of Alabasta.

As Dragon Claw descended, it precisely carved a small opening in the ground in front of him, just large enough for one person to pass through, and that section of ground was completely preserved by Dragon.

"Well done."

As Yann spoke, he praised Enel's cooperation as well as Dragon's precise control of power and timing, ensuring that not a single unnecessary sound was made.

Immediately, Yann and Dragon entered the underground passage, and Dragon filled in the small opening.

Unless someone gets close enough to examine the inconspicuous claw marks on the ground closely, there is almost nothing wrong with them from the outside.

……

In the underground passage, Yann and Drag walked up the stairs for quite some time before finally reaching their destination.

The enormous, black stone tablet stood silently at the end of the underground passage. Eight hundred years seemed to have left no trace on it, and the inscriptions on it remained crystal clear.

"This is it!"

Immediately, they realized that the Ancient Weapon Hades was of great importance, especially to the Revolutionary Army.

Without any delay, Yann memorized the strange characters on the Poneglyphs and then directly entered Robin's mental space.

At this point, Robin was already asleep.

"Huh? Brother Yan?!" Robin, whose mind was still a little hazy, seemed surprised and even a little panicked by Yan's arrival.

However, preoccupied with important matters, Arn did not notice Robin's subtle emotional change and spoke directly.

"Robin, I've found a Poneglyph. Can you help me decipher its contents?"

"Historical texts?!"

Upon hearing the name, Robin instantly became fully awake.

Then, with a thought, Yann directly manifested the Poneglyphs he had memorized within Robin's mental space.

Robin's eyes flashed with excitement, then he became completely focused, gazing intently at the text on the Poneglyphs and beginning to decipher it.

[Chapter 319: The Records in the Historical Text]

A moment later, a hint of disappointment appeared in Robin's eyes.

"How is it?" Yann asked.

“Brother Yann, this does not contain any history related to the ‘Void Century’.”

Robin's tone revealed a hint of disappointment.

As the last archaeologist of Ohara, Robin unwittingly inherited the obsession of her mother and the other archaeologists, harboring the desire to unravel the history of the 'Void Century'.

Now that they've finally found a piece of historical text, the information recorded on it isn't what Robin expected, which inevitably makes Robin feel somewhat disappointed.

“What is recorded on it?” Yann asked.

Robin glanced through the contents again and began to explain.

"This contains information about the Ancient Weapon Pluton. It roughly tells the story of how, when the World Government was established eight hundred years ago, the Nefertari family realized that the empty throne erected by the World Government was not empty, but that there was a certain entity hiding behind it. They believed that such a World Government was detrimental to the sea."

"Therefore, in order to preserve the possibility of overthrowing the World Government in the future, the Nefertari family relinquished their title of 'Celestial Dragons' among the World Nobles, refused to move to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, and chose to remain in the Kingdom of Alabasta instead..."

When Robin mentioned the "Alabasta Kingdom," she paused unnaturally, glancing at Yann before continuing.

"The Nefertari family, using their royal status, hides and protects the Ancient Weapon Pluton, awaiting the day when it will be revived."

As Arn listened quietly, Robin's voice abruptly stopped.

"Isn't the location of the Ancient Weapon Hades recorded in the Poneglyphs?" Yann asked in surprise.

“No, it only records the connection between the Nefertari family and the Ancient Weapon Pluton, and doesn’t specifically mention the location of Pluton,” Robin replied.

Immediately, Yann's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

Logically, the Ancient Weapon Hades should be recorded in the main Poneglyphs...

Uh, wait a minute, that's not right!

Suddenly, Yann thought of something.

The Poneglyphs were forged by the Kozuki clan of Wano Country more than 800 years ago, while the Ancient Weapon Pluton is guarded by the Nefertari family.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal that the Kozuki clan does not know exactly how the Nefertari family sealed and hid the Ancient Weapon Pluton. So the Poneglyphs should not contain the specific location of the Ancient Weapon Pluton.

But if that's the case, where is the Ancient Weapon Hades truly sealed away?

"Was it passed down orally by the Neferutari family?" Yann murmured uncertainly.

While word-of-mouth is the most secretive method, it is also the most unstable in this dangerous sea.

Who knows, the entire clan could be wiped out in an instant at any moment.

Given the Nefertari family's willingness to relinquish their status and privileges as "Celestial Dragons," a world noble family, in order to protect the Ancient Weapon Pluton, they should have considered this risk.

Seeing Arn muttering to himself with a completely puzzled look, Robin asked, "What's wrong, Brother Arn?"

"Ah, it's nothing..."

Yann shook his head, then gave Robin an apologetic smile and said.

"I'm sorry, Robin, it's so late and I'm disturbing your sleep. You should get some rest. I have some things to take care of."

"Ah."

As Robin responded, Yann, without having time to think further, hurriedly left Robin's mental space and opened his eyes again in the underground passage.

"How is it?" Dragon asked anxiously.

Yern slowly shook his head, took two steps forward, and began to speak while stroking the surface of the Poneglyph with one hand.

"I think I guessed wrong. This Poneglyph only records that the Nefertari family, as guardians of the Ancient Weapon Pluton, were willing to give up their Celestial Dragon status and privileges, but the text does not mention the specific location of the Ancient Weapon Pluton."

Dragon's brows furrowed deeply, and he asked, "So, the only ones who know the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapon, Hades, are the Nefertari family?"

“Since the Nefertari family are the guardians of the Ancient Weapon Hades, then the probability is over 90%,” Yann replied.

"If that's the case, then this is going to be troublesome." Dragon also felt that things were getting a bit tricky.

The Nefertari family now consists of only two people: King Cobra and Princess Vivi.

Clearly, the young Princess Vivi is unaware of such important information as the Ancient Weapon Hades, so the only person who would know is King Cobra.

Getting such a secret, which could involve the entire ocean, from the King of Cobra was by no means an easy task.

"Oh, right..."

Dragon lightly pounded his fist on his palm and said, "Yarn, it's not difficult to peacefully learn this secret from King Cobra."

"Hmm?" Yann looked at Dorag with some surprise.

"Princess Vivi is the only remaining descendant of the Nefertari family, and King Cobra deeply loves his deceased wife and has declared that he will never marry another. Therefore, we can definitely use Princess Vivi as a starting point..."

After a pause, Dragon continued, "It just so happens that my Luffy is about the same age as Princess Vivi. As long as we can find a way to get Luffy and Princess Vivi married in the future, then this secret will naturally fall into Luffy's hands."

……

Ya'en.

Good heavens, Dragon has come up with such a difficult and outrageous idea.

How old is Princess Vivi now?

Even if we assume that sixteen is the age of adulthood for this vast ocean, and that it automatically qualifies one to sail alone and get married, it would still take more than ten years.

"Instead of doing that, it would be more reliable to send someone to seduce King Cobra and make her Princess Vivi's stepmother, and then have her have a son if she's capable," Yann complained helplessly.

"So, it seems your plan is indeed more reliable..."

Dorag pondered the possibilities in Yann's words intently, muttering to himself.

"After all, Luffy might not be good at winning a girl's heart, and whether he can successfully marry Princess Vivi is another matter entirely."
