Chapter 75 O'Hara's Lights
[Chapter Header Serialization·Art is Hilarious 6·"Oops"]
[The man carrying the drawing board ran away in a hurry, and collided with a woman holding a pendant when turning a corner. The guards are catching up!] 鈥斺
The West Sea was calm.
The news bird chirped, spread its wings and flew, then looked down and saw a ship on the blue sea.
The white sail with the "JOJO" pattern fluttered and moved forward at a constant speed.
Flutter...the news bird fluttered its wings and landed on the side of the ship.
"Huh?" Newsbird tilted his head in confusion. There was no one on the deck.
Normally speaking, a pirate ship like this should have received some attention, right?
Could it be——a ghost ship? !
Newsbird's expression changed a little.
Just as it was about to flap its wings and flee, not wanting to do this business, it opened its eyes wide and saw a pile of coins on the deck, floating towards it...
“Gu?!!”
The pile of coins floated in front of it. The news bird was so frightened that its feathers stood up and it dared not move.
It seemed that it was the only one who did not move. It counted a few coins and put them into the small briefcase hanging around its neck. Then, a newspaper in the briefcase flew out by itself...
"Goo?!!!!!!!"
The news bird was so frightened that its feathers fell to the ground. It flew up tremblingly and flew away as if escaping.
…
There was no one in the captain's cabin.
Da, da...the rudder turned gently.
There was a compass on the table, and the needle was trembling.
The compass was pressing down on the newspaper I had just bought.
The sea breeze blew in from the window, lifting a corner of the newspaper, revealing a photo of Crocodile, and a news report about him as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, hunting pirates everywhere...
Da, da, da...the rudder turns in the opposite direction, controlling the direction of the ship.
…
The half-drunk flower milk tea was placed on the table, steaming.
The green Den Den Mushi lay beside him, dozing off with its head down.
Lynch crossed his legs and looked at the nautical chart in his hand.
The tip of the pen drew the course on the nautical chart, extending all the way to the end of this trip: Las Gap Island.
At that time, when he heard from those pirates that this island was geographically equivalent to the town of Rogge in the East China Sea, his mind flashed back to the fragments of the original owner's memory, especially the memory about the mother of this body...
Lynch therefore speculated that the hometown of this body was probably on this Las Gap Island.
This guy's home is right at the entrance to the Grand Line, and he wants to be a pirate but is hanging around in the West Sea. How unambitious.
Lynch's pen tip slid upward from Las Gap Island and touched the edge of the West Sea chart. In the center of the thick red soil continent, a thin line representing the canal entered the red soil continent from the West Sea... Symmetrical to it were the other three oceans, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the North Sea. A total of four canals converged at the top of the "Inverted Mountain" and then merged into one, running straight into the Great Route from the front.
Countless pirates set sail from the four oceans. Either they become famous and appear in newspapers, or they disappear without a trace and drown in the vast waves...
How could you not go to the Grand Line when you come to One Piece? Lin Qi twirled the pen in his hand.
"Robin..." he started, and when the latter didn't respond, "Hmm?"
He turned his head and saw that the girl sitting next to him looked like she was in a daze. She just sat there with her eyes wide open and blankly.
"Hey, what's up?"
Lynch waved the pen in his hand in front of Robin's face a few times.
"..." Robin didn't even blink once.
Lin Qi leaned his head closer and stared at the big dark green eyes. "How come even the highlights of the eyes have disappeared..."
Snap!
The dark green eyeballs fell down...
With a click, the pen in Lynch's hand fell to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Robin's eyes had opened like a portcullis, revealing an entrance.
"You scared me!" Lynch rolled his eyes.
There seemed to be a faint laughter coming from the eye socket.
Lin Qi moved closer, and was immediately pulled towards the eye hole by a force of attraction, his body shrinking rapidly in the process...
…
Huge room.
The curved walls around it appear to be about ten meters high. They are lined with rows of bookshelves, several layers high, filled with densely packed books.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the center of the room is a huge model of a planet with several orbiting satellites fixed around it.
Robin sat on the ground, hugging his knees, staring silently at the wall of books for a long time.
“What a big renovation!”
After Lynch came in, he raised his hand and looked around, looking at the castle style which was completely different from before with a bit of curiosity.
Robin whispered, "This is what the inside of the Tree of All-Knowing looked like before."
"Ah, I guessed it." Lynch sat next to Robin, supporting himself on the floor with his hands.
"Before, because of the Flower-Flower Fruit, my peers thought I was a monster..." Robin muttered about the past, and did not tell Lynch the specific taboos, just some trivial things in life. "Only Dr. Kloba and his men were very kind to me, letting me borrow books for free to read at home... They also taught me to read, and helped me with my homework, so that I could get a doctorate in history..."
Lynch followed Robin into the basement on the next level.
The same four bookshelves, filled with books.
The desk was also covered with messy documents and research materials.
The only difference is that there is a huge square stone on the ground on this floor.
There are blocks of text with unknown meaning carved on the stone...
"...O'Hara is gone. The Tree of All-Knowing that has grown for thousands of years has also been destroyed..." Robin said with tears in his eyes, puzzled, "Lynch, why, why are we being killed just because we want to interpret the forgotten history? Mom, the doctor, and everyone on the island..."
"If you ask me about this kind of thing, I don't have an answer." Lynch put his hands in his pockets.
Robin was silent.
Lin Qi said: "I am the ruler of this world..."
Robin looked up in surprise.
"I deliberately erased a hundred years of history that was of great significance." Lynch paced around the stone of "historical text" and said slowly, "But I know very well that there will always be a lack of smart people, curious people, people who want to study history and explore the truth... and I don't want them to appear. I even hope that they will all disappear forever and completely..."
He led Robin up one level.
"So, O'Hara in the West Sea, O'Hara with the Tree of All-Knowing, has slowly become a holy place in the hearts of historians all over the world... Maybe it was originally like this, maybe it wasn't, but it has become like this after all. Allowing such a group of outstanding historians from all over the world to gather on the same island with sufficient research materials, what is the small chance that they will not be curious about the missing hundred years? I know it very well, but I am waiting patiently..."
"..." Robin's eyes were red and he bit his lip.
Lin Qi walked up to the upper floor, looked at the mountains of books surrounding the four walls, opened his arms and continued: "I am waiting for the right time to catch this kind of people in one fell swoop... Let this so-called flame of exploring the truth of history be extinguished once and for all..."
"Really... could it be like this?" Robin's voice seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, "It was deliberately done by the World Government..."
"I don't know." Lynch said, "But from the results, you are the only one who can interpret the so-called historical text, right? And in fact, if it weren't for the vice admiral who spared your life, you should have been killed once and for all..." Seeing that Robin didn't speak, Lynch rubbed her head, then knocked on the "earphones" in his ears.
…
"BIB" let go of the rudder temporarily, walked all the way to the cabin, came to Robin who was sitting at the table, and punched her in the chest.
This is just a conspiracy theory, don't take it seriously~
