"An 800-year-old mural? Hiding a century-old truth?"
Inside the secret chamber of the temporary headquarters of "Whiskey Garden, Baroque Studio".
"Click!"
Wearing the "Heart Moon Fox" mask, Robin walked closely beside Chenlong, excitedly snapping the pen in her hand: "Lord Chenlong, where is it? Is it the place you left for this time? Is it also intelligence about the organization?"
Her words were naturally filled with barely concealed excitement.
She certainly couldn't have imagined that Yi Chenlong would discover something of this caliber just by going out casually once.
Having experienced the Sky Island trip, Robin now has no doubts about what Chenlong says.
"Could I see that mural? I can help translate it, take notes... I, I can do anything!"
She, who is usually not very talkative, seems to be developing into a chatterbox at this moment.
But Chenlong was not surprised—he knew very well that for Robin, a "remnant of Ohara," this news was probably more important than her life.
Even if he told her that this thing was in Mary Geoise, he reckoned Robin would turn into Fisher Tiger.
"You are a subordinate of my 'Chen Department,' so I will definitely let you see that mural."
"However, that mural is a special case—it's a remnant left directly from the past due to a Devil Fruit ability," so it can't be brought out. I'll take you there later."
However, Chenlong did not reject Robin's suggestion.
As he told Robin, he had already deduced the general content of the mural constructed from "lip air".
"Davy Jones, the twenty kings who were the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons, the giants, the fish-men, and the rise and fall of that great kingdom—these ancient historical contents on the murals are clearly a blank hundred years."
"The dark figure in the tree, if I'm not mistaken, should be 'Lord Im'."
"He seems to have collaborated with Davy Jones, giving him that spherical object, which may possess some kind of power... Davy Jones used it to become the first pirate and plunder the world."
"He brought all races under his rule and established a vast kingdom"—even the deep-sea fish-men and the powerful giants submitted to him, and were given the precious tree Adam and the sun-drenched tree Eve as the foundation for their survival.
This also explains why the rules of "Davy Back Fight," a game named after Davy Jones, are that the loser submits to the winner.
Because this might be exactly what Davy Jones did back then.
He was the founder and first king of that enormous kingdom 800 years ago.
But then, he was clearly betrayed.
The ancestors of the Celestial Dragons, the twenty kings who created the world, betrayed him and signed a new contract with Im.
One can imagine that a huge war must have taken place at that time—Davy Jones allied with the "Sun," but was ultimately defeated, and that "Sun" was undoubtedly Joy Boy.
The kingdom from 800 years ago was destroyed as a result, and Davy Jones was probably seriously injured. He was eventually forced to escape the great kingdom aboard the Abyss and hide in the thick fog.
The World Government was established, and the order of the seas has become what it is today.
Of course, there are still many questions that Chenlong doesn't understand.
For example, information related to "the source of everything, that tree," and the spherical object that Davy Jones obtained—many things are still mysteries.
Since there were indeed a few ancient characters on the mural, he did need Robin's help to decipher its contents.
But obviously...
That won't be now.
"I have other things to do, Mr. All Sunday."
Seeing Robin's eagerness to see the murals immediately, Chenlong said softly.
"What's up?"
Upon hearing this, Robin finally suppressed her anxiety and frowned slightly.
"But didn't you just come back from a mission?"
Chenlong shook his head: "No... going to the Devil's Triangle is just a prerequisite for the mission."
"The real mission is about to begin."
"The leader has given the order that the stars will converge."
"I have been summoned, and I will respond accordingly."
Chenlong said in a low voice, "I only came back this time to introduce him to you before I leave..."
As he spoke, he pushed open the door to the secret room in front of him.
Then, a tavern appeared before him.
This is the temporary headquarters of Baroque Studios, openly known as Cactus Tavern on Whisky Peak.
At that moment, Robin spotted it immediately.
At this moment, a skeleton lies across the center of the tavern.
Robin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Lord Chenlong, could it be... that this is also a skeleton from eight hundred years ago?"
She almost instinctively reached into her pocket to pull out her archaeology gloves.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the skeleton blink—even though it had no eyes.
"Huh? Me?"
He pointed to himself with his wrist.
Then...
"!"
He jumped up in anger: "How...how rude of me! Do I look like I've been dead for eight hundred years?"
I've been taking good care of myself... Oh, although I am indeed dead, yo ho ho ho!
"However, judging from your voice, you seem to be a beautiful young lady. Would it be convenient for me to see your underwear..."
"Alright, let's save the boring skull jokes and lewd jokes for later."
He was interrupted by Chenlong halfway through his sentence.
Then, seeing Brooke shrink to the side, saying things like, "It's not a silly joke, I thought about it for a long time... oh, although I don't have a brain," while hugging her knees.
Chenlong then turned to look at Robin: "This guy's name is Brook, he's..."
He briefly explained Brooke's identity and the reason why he had become like this.
"He will become a temporary member of the organization from now on, and you will be in charge of him for the time being. Please also keep the body he brought back safe for me."
After saying that, he turned to Brooke and said, "This is my subordinate, Heartmoon Fox. Lord Brooke, until you find a partner to accompany you in fulfilling your promise, you should stay with her."
Yes.
After leaving the Abyss, Chenlong returned to Thriller Bark and brought out the bodies of Brook and Ryoma.
Brooke was extremely grateful and also made a request to Chenlong.
"I intend to keep my promise to my companions and return to Twin Capes to pick up Laboon after circling the world."
"But before that, I think I need to find some reliable partners."
After what happened in the Devil's Triangle, Brook clearly understood that it was impossible for him to cross the Grand Line on his own.
He needs a partner who is strong and steadfast enough.
And obviously, such guys are hard to find.
"So, before that, could I work part-time for your organization to earn some living expenses?"
"After all, if I went to other places looking like this, I'd probably scare people, and that would make my conscience bother me..."
Oh, even though I have no heart, yo ho ho ho!
It was because of his request that this scene came to be.
"I see..."
Upon learning that the skeleton was not an artifact from eight hundred years ago, but rather belonged to a user with special abilities, Robin nodded with slight disappointment.
However, she, who had been in charge of handling the internal affairs of the Baroque Studio, quickly made a judgment.
"You said you're a musician?"
"Genuine or genuine."
"In that case, you'll be in charge of washing dishes at the bar."
Robin smiled and said, "It just so happens that the bounty hunter who was washing dishes was killed by a pirate while on a mission."
Brooke: "Uh...no...I meant...music..."
"The pay is quite good. Once you join the organization, you'll not only receive various allowances, but your monthly salary will be at least this much..."
"Ah...this...I guarantee I'll complete the mission, sir!"
Well... in a sense, this "son of the devil" is indeed a devil.
"Well then, I'll be leaving now."
Seeing Brooke quickly swayed by money and abandon his pride as a musician, Chenlong grinned.
They saw Chenlong heading towards the tavern's door.
Robin suddenly said, "Lord Chenlong."
"Um?"
"You...will you take me to see that mural?"
She asked that question.
But when Chenlong turned his head, he saw Robin's eyes filled with undisguised worry.
It's only natural—Robin isn't stupid.
She had spent a considerable amount of time with Chenlong and naturally knew that this usually lazy and inactive powerful man rarely made such a solemn appearance.
Not to mention, Chenlong just said that.
This mission is not one he is to undertake.
Instead, it was the leader who issued them a task.
Robin could naturally guess the meaning behind it.
And if the truth is indeed as she suspects, then...
Without a doubt, Chenlong will be involved in a major event that will shake up the entire maritime situation.
Major events often mean that the enemy must be very dangerous.
So, of course she would be worried.
After this period of time, she had come to accept and become accustomed to life within the organization.
The peaceful, stable life, free from the threat of being hunted by the navy or betrayed by the organization, and the opportunity to openly study history, even felt somewhat unreal to her.
That was a life she had never experienced since the destruction of Ohara.
So, without realizing it...
She has fully accepted her identity.
She is more than just Nicole Robin.
Furthermore, he is the highest-ranking official of the Twelve Constellations, one of the constellations under Chenlong's command... Xinyuehu.
"certainly."
Then Robin heard Chenlong's calm reply.
"Boom!"
At that very moment, thunder roared.
A bolt of lightning struck down in front of the tavern from the sky.
Accompanied by a raging gale, Chenlong's figure transformed into a crimson dragon soaring into the sky amidst the lightning strikes.
"We are the twelve constellations."
As he spoke, his eyes, hidden beneath the mask, looked in only one direction.
"Of course we will win."
That's the direction of the new world.
That is...
The direction of "All Nations" to Tottoland.
