The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

Chapter 141 The Role of the Navigator?

"This is not funny."

While operating the fax machine, Begabank shook his head, rejecting John's sudden idea.

"Only the pirate who travels around the world and finds the 'final island' can be called the Pirate King."

"According to the historical records, the 'Final Island' holds the secrets of the World Government. In order to consolidate its power, even if you successfully impersonate a Celestial Dragon now, the World Government will not allow you to do so."

"You will be relentlessly hunted down by the world government, which is detrimental to our plans."

"really."

John nodded, then changed the subject.

"If our plan fails, then we can play around like this."

It's still more than a decade before Roger finds the "final island" and becomes the Pirate King. If John hides the Road Poneglyph in the Sea Forest, Roger's feat will be postponed indefinitely.

This gave John some time.

"I've decided to hide this 'landmark' as a backup plan in case the plan fails, so I can become the Pirate King!"

As for Roger?

A guy who can't even win over the woman he likes should just go to hell!

"Do whatever you want as long as it doesn't affect the plan."

This time, Begabank did not object. After faxing the photos over, he called Clover.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and then the Den Den Mushi mimicked Dr. Clover's appearance, sweating profusely and panting heavily.

"It's...it's Vegabank. Has another new Poneglyph been discovered?"

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so breathless that you can barely speak?"

Begabank frowned, sensing something was amiss.

The Den Den Mushi mimicked a clover, looking around before lowering its voice:

"It's nothing. I just read in the 'Biography of the Adventurer Roland' that Roland discovered the Poneglyphs on an island in the first half of the Grand Line, so I set sail to look for them."

"I just didn't expect to run into CP agents on the island, and as a wanted criminal, I was chased by them."

"But don't worry, I think I've shaken them off."

John and Begabank were speechless after hearing this, unsure whether to call Clover stubborn or obstinate.

They're truly fearless!

After thinking for a moment, John offered his advice:

"You'd better hurry back to Ohara and stop attracting the attention of the World Government by being active on the high seas."

"As for the historical texts on the island, tell me the address and I will make rubbings."

"Thank you very much, John, but I'm a big fan of Rolando, and I'm really getting restless staying in Ohara all the time."

Clover reveals her dream: if it weren't for her brother's murder, which led her down the path of fighting against the World Government.

Under normal circumstances, he would have become an adventurer like Venbrath Rolando, seeing all sorts of sights around the world.

"Dr. Clover".

John suddenly became serious.

"To achieve great things, you must endure what ordinary people cannot. For the long term, you must give up what you love!"

"Okay, okay, I know."

Clover gave an awkward laugh and then changed the subject.

"By the way, did you call me because you've discovered something again?"

“We have discovered the red historical text and have faxed it to you, but you are not in Ohara right now and cannot translate it for us.”

Speaking of this, Begabank seemed somewhat helpless.

The fax telephone snail is too large to carry around.

He had always wanted to send Clover his modified miniature fax den mushi, which he could carry around, but he always forgot about it when he got busy.

“If you are in a hurry to have it translated, I can have Olbia take a look for you. She is even more talented than me in ancient writing.”

"Then I'll leave it to you."

John and Begabank didn't have to wait long before another call came in.

As the call connected, the Den Den Mushi mimicked the appearance of long, silver hair with bangs, and delivered a cool yet steady voice.

“Dr. Begabank, John, I am Eurydice. I have been entrusted by the Doctor to translate the ancient texts for you.”

"Hello, Eurya, could you please help us see what's recorded in the Red History text?"

John was more interested in the contents of the Road Poneglyphs than in the "weapons" that might be recorded in the Black History Chronicles.

He wanted to see what was different from the historical records of the road signs.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Then, the sound of turning over papers came from the other end of the phone, and after a long while, Olbia finally spoke.

"This is a Road Poneglyph, which roughly means that at the end of the Grand Line, there is an island called 'Laugh Tale,' where the legacy of an ancient, great kingdom is kept."

"'Laugh Tale' cannot be recorded by the pointer for its magnetic force. It can only be found by collecting four landmarks and locating four points in the sea area after Mercury Island."

"The final island, 'Laugh Tale,' is located in the middle of the four points. Finding it will be a real test of a navigator's skills."

"Testing the navigator's skills?" John raised an eyebrow.

As far as he knew, with Nami's talent and abilities, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the world's number one navigator.

However, this "first navigator" did not show much advantage, as Kid, Bellamy and others had been to places such as Wano Country and Skypiea.

Bellamy is that springy kid who idolizes Doflamingo; he's a pathetic guy.

But even this newbie, after being woken up by Luffy, personally went to experience the altitude of 10,000 meters.

Could it be that Nami's value as a navigator lies in her search for "Laugh Tale"?

Finding the middle of the four points sounds simple, but without a pointer, it's extremely difficult, like finding a needle in a haystack.

If a navigator lacks sufficient skill, even knowing the locations of four points, he cannot find the center.

Putting that thought aside for the moment, John asked about other things.

"Besides that, is there any other information?"

"……there is none left."

After a brief silence, the Den Den Mushi shook its head in imitation.

John nodded, squinting his eyes:

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, John looked at Begabank beside him and said with great certainty:

"That girl is hiding something from us."

"Why do you say that?" Bergabank asked, puzzled.

John shook his head and smiled, pointing to the road sign ahead. (Historical text follows)

"Look at how many words are engraved on this. Do they match up with such a tiny bit of information?"

"I think it should also contain information about some kind of weapon from an ancient kingdom, but it was deliberately hidden by Olbia."

It has to be said that Robin is just like her mother; they both believe that terrible weapons should no longer exist in the world.

This is also why John didn't continue asking what the other ordinary historical text recorded; if he had, Eurythia would have given him a perfunctory answer.

Chapter 142 The Destruction of Ohara, Ahead of Schedule!

"It's alright, once Clover returns to Ohara, he will tell us everything."

Begabank didn't take Olbia's concealment to heart.

After all, he didn't know what John was worried about, nor did he know that John was racing against time.

"I think the plan needs to be changed a bit."

John raised his hand as if to grab, and the seabed beneath his feet trembled violently. Iron ore ore rose up, lifting gravel and engulfing the historical text of the road sign.

Then, the huge iron box pushed through the seawater and rose straight up, rushing from the seabed to the surface, and then flying from the surface to a height of 10,000 meters.

at the same time

Mary Geoise, Pangaea, Between Powers.

The five elders gathered together, each expressing their own opinions.

"That archaeologist again? He's like a persistent ghost!"

"Crow D. Clover, D..."

"D is already dangerous, and his contact with the history of the Void Century could very well bring a devastating disaster to the world government."

Just as the group was discussing the dangers of clover, Satan suddenly spoke up about something else.

"Saint Garin has returned from his inspection of the Kingdom of Felose. He said that the country is too weak and will not be able to make the next hunt enjoyable."

"So what do you mean?" Saint Pitt turned to look at Saint Satan.

Saint Satan, leaning on his cane, his wrinkled face expressionless, spoke indifferently:

"Then let's add another one, Ohara."

Upon hearing this, the other four exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

I second that!

"..."

The course of fate changed. Because King Felosser was killed by John, the weakened kingdom of Felosser was liberated by Dragon ahead of schedule.
