The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

He can't just let this go!

......

Ohara, the Tree of All Knowledge.

After walking for a while, Gion led Olvia and her daughter to the Tree of Omniscience.

The books here have been almost all moved out, and only a few historical stone tablets remain on the open ground in front of the big tree.

"Olvia! Robin!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Dr. Clover's expression changed slightly.

He had initially considered the two as Ohara's last hope, but now that hope was shattered.

"Dr. Clover, it's been a long time." Olvia's face showed bitterness.

"Doctor, is everyone dead...?"

Robin stared at the scholars' corpses on the ground, his mouth slightly agape, his face filled with disbelief.

No matter what, she is only 8 years old now, and such a bloody scene is still too heavy for her.

Seeing this, Olvia couldn't bear it and covered Robin's eyes, holding her tightly in her arms.

What did we do wrong?

Professor Clover stared intently at Gion; if looks could kill, he would have torn her to pieces.

"You have violated the laws of the World Government. As scholars who study history, you should know the punishment for researching that history: all of you will be executed and your home island destroyed."

Gion pointed to the Poneglyphs not far away, then looked at Professor Clover with amusement:

"What's done is done, so we should just bear the consequences."

"History should be made public, and the law of the World Government is fundamentally flawed!" Dr. Clover said firmly.

"You can think that way, and the World Government can also think you're wrong and destroy the entire Ohara."

Gion remained expressionless, her tone icy.

The sentence above is the biggest lesson she has learned these past few days.

There is no absolute right or wrong in this world. As long as you have the power, you can do whatever you want.

Most of those pirates operate according to this logic.

Pirates bully civilians because they are stronger than ordinary people.

The navy captures pirates because they have the capability to do so.

Whitebeard's pirate crews acted with impunity, and the Navy mostly ignored them when they encountered them.

To put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with justice or injustice; it's simply about whether you have the power to do it.

The same applies to the World Government. The Celestial Dragons can do whatever they want simply because the World Government has the power to suppress everything.

It is now clear that O'Hara has neither the ability nor the qualifications to study the Poneglyphs.

Dr. Clover snorted and raised his head:

"Isn't the world government doing this just to cover up its shameful history? They're just afraid."

“You can think that way,” Gion said noncommittally.

"I want to speak with the Five Elders!" Dr. Clover said firmly. "Through interpreting history, I have learned some things, and before I die, I want to confirm my conjectures."

Looking at the crazed old man before her, Gion shook her head with a strange expression.

She admired this kind of dedication to history, but unfortunately, it seemed that the prince had prepared an ending for them that was worse than death.

“You are not qualified to speak with the Five Elders, but I can connect you to His Highness’s phone; he is the commander of the Buster Call,” Gion said expressionlessly.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing the name Gion, Dr. Clover perked up.

Both the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons can confirm his conjecture.

Chapter 14 A Blank History

The Den Den Mushi was quickly connected, and after Gion finished her report, Luther's slightly languid voice came through:

“I am Don Quixote Luther Saint, Dr. Clover. I respectfully request that you be the librarian of the Omniscient Tree Library. You have five minutes.”

"Twenty minutes is enough!"

Professor Clover got up and stared intently at the Den Den Mushi:

"Through the translation of the historical text, we learned about a once-great kingdom that was destroyed 800 years ago, and the World Government was established at that time."

"Hmm, what does that prove?" Luther did not deny it.

"The history you're trying to hide is the existence of a vast kingdom. You fear their spirit, or perhaps their technology, and you're afraid they'll reappear and threaten the World Government's rule," Dr. Clover continued.

“The leader of that kingdom is called Joy Boy!” Luther reminded him with a smile.

He doesn't care about history; it's all ancient history from 800 years ago, let alone some trivial news.

Besides, who knows if what he said is true or false?

Joy Boy's name still circulates on the seas today; his name appears in the official history books, making it a perfect subject for writing.

“Joey Boy…just as we expected, what a nice name!” Dr. Clover smiled with satisfaction. “It seems my guess was correct. You were terrified and afraid, and even after 800 years, you dared not reveal it to the public.”

He has no regrets if he can learn more.

“It is indeed the idea of ​​my people. Since you know they are afraid, why do you still want to study it? Isn’t it better to live peacefully?” Luther asked calmly.

He could understand the dedication of some people to their ideals, but he also knew very well what he should do in different positions.

The blank century of history is not only a trump card for Joy Boy, Nika, or the Revolutionary Army to overthrow the World Government, but also a card in his hand.

He has no conflict with those five old men and Im now, but who knows what will happen next?

"There will always be things more important than life itself. Everyone has the right to understand history. Making history public is a great cause and something that we should do!"

Dr. Clover, perhaps sensing his impending death, seemed to unleash boundless passion, causing Robin beside him to stare with gleaming eyes, while only Olivia lowered her head in slight shame.

“Good idea, you’ve convinced me. So… I can give you a chance,” Luther’s voice rang out.

"What opportunity?" Dr. Clover asked, puzzled.

He thought he was hallucinating. At first, he didn't think he could persuade the other party at all. He only wanted to talk to Luther to learn more.

Does this mean that Ohara can be preserved through his preaching?

Only Olivia felt a sense of foreboding upon hearing this.

“After the Buster Call, I will publicly reveal the history you know in one country as a pilot program. I’m very interested to know what people think after they learn the truth of history, especially when they learn that the great kingdom possessed the three ancient weapons,” Luther said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Clover, unaware of anything amiss, instead showed a delighted expression, while Olivia's face changed drastically.

Gion had said the same thing to her.

But Luther concealed the price those who knew the truth would pay.

When she tried to open her mouth to stop her, she felt Gion's hand on her shoulder.

"I agree! I never expected to find someone as understanding as you among the Celestial Dragons," Dr. Clover remarked.

Upon hearing Dr. Clover's agreement, Olivia felt a surge of despair.

Thinking about it carefully, it's easy to see that the news of the three ancient weapons would cause a huge uproar if it got out.

At that point, no one who knew the truth could survive.

That Sir Luther wants to burden these scholars with sin!

On the warship's side, Luther hung up the phone with satisfaction.

For him, reaching this point was enough.

Looking out at Ohara in the distance, Luther's lips curled into a slight smile.

Things are progressing smoothly.

Relying on his identity as a Celestial Dragon, he has already established a preliminary influence.

For him, the key figures in the Buster Call of Ohara were not people like Olvia; he valued Robin, who would later be known as the 'Child of the Devil,' even more.

He could easily hold the lives of Olvia and Dr. Clover in his hands.

But Robin is an uncertain factor, and also his first step in trying.

This world may seem to be a place where humans can overcome nature, but it still operates on a fatalistic logic.

Joy Boy seems to have foreseen 800 years ago that a savior of the world would emerge in this era.

In order to determine whether the mysterious fate existed, Luther changed everything that was supposed to happen in Ohara.

Robin, the only one in the future capable of deciphering the Poneglyphs, was now in his hands.

Without Robin deciphering the Poneglyphs, Luffy wouldn't even be able to reach the final island.

Even if he doesn't do anything else by then, Luffy will still just be a pirate, and he won't have any reason to overthrow the World Government.

After a few days of investigation, Luther could roughly understand why that blank period of history was important to the world government.

In order to maintain its 800-year rule, the World Government has always claimed to be the legitimate ruler of the world, and the Celestial Dragons are the descendants of gods who are born to rule the world.

And after countless years of promotion, this impression has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

If this legitimacy cannot be denied by using a blank history, then the rule of the world government will be unbreakable.

Those who want to start a revolution are always a minority, and those who want to challenge authority are also only a minority.

Regardless of strength or weakness, all will eventually unite under the World Government; the government has no chance of losing.

As a member of a community of shared interests, Luther now only thinks about how to maintain this community when dealing with external matters.

No matter how he fights with the Five Elders, it's an internal matter for the Celestial Dragons.

Even if he loses miserably, he can still enjoy wealth and honor until he dies of old age.

But if the revolution leads to the collapse of the world government, then his fate is hard to predict.
