Chapter 829 Kaido: You're invincible, let Lynch kill me!
[Chapter Serialization·Mother Burial 12·"In that case, let's fish him up too"]
[Praline, Brin and the others suddenly heard a voice above their heads. When they looked up, Unu, Lola and the others were shocked. Isn't this the girl who was on the Homiz cloud before? Perona didn't know them at all, but she saw that Praline was a mermaid. With her help, they could just fish out Blackbeard's body. She knew that Vista and the others on the island probably wanted to do the same.]——
【“Maybe there is another simpler possibility…”】
[Kozuki and Kin'emon punish Kurozumi Orochi at a banquet in the mansion, while Robin and Lynch go to the stone tablet they found in the underground storage.]
[Hearing Lin Qi's words, "The contents of the stone tablet cannot be known to the Kozuki clan", she did not use the same ancient characters as the historical stone tablet. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "For example, maybe the person who engraved the words on the stone tablet didn't understand ancient characters at all."]
[Back when on Zou Island, Robin learned a little bit about Kozuki in the country of the Fur Tribe, and knew that they were a family of stonemasons who had mastered the technology of carving historical texts.]
[“Since only Kozuki is known as a stonemason family,” Robin pointed his finger and rested his chin, “then it is clear that the knowledge of carving historical text stone tablets and ancient characters is limited to the Kozuki family. The stone tablet was probably not cast by the Kozuki family…”]
【Lin Qi said: "If it's just because you don't understand ancient characters, then why don't you just carve it in common characters? That kind of characters is so obscure that even you have only seen them in the Royal Palace Library of the Kingdom of Flowers, and it still takes time to translate them... You're going through so much trouble, if you're not hiding from someone, who would believe it?"】
[The two of them are now on their way to the underground vault of the General's Mansion. It's similar to when Robin went down alone to explore before, both of which are considered infiltration.]
[After all, although there is a big "danger" written on the head of the snake, most people in the general's mansion are actually completely unaware of any changes. Lynch and Robin, two strangers, walked around the general's mansion casually like strolling around the streets. If they didn't sneak in quietly, they would inevitably be blocked by the guards in the mansion - but Robin had used the Observation Haki and the Flower-Flower Fruit to sneak in in the true sense; while Lynch's way of sneaking in was a little different.]
[Wherever he and Robin went, the spherical area of dozens of meters in radius was enveloped by the domineering color he inadvertently exuded.]
[Lynch's Conqueror Haki, which he casually used, was not very strong. If it was Big Mom, Kaido, Red Hair, Whitebeard, Roger, Golden Lion, Rayleigh, or even Teach, or the admirals of the navy and some admirals without licenses, they would definitely not be affected. But obviously there were no elite monsters of this level in Orochi's general's mansion, so Lynch and Robin had no problems on their way. ]
【"You guessed right..." Robin said to himself. 】
[When she and Lin Qi arrived at the destination, they saw an inconspicuous stone tablet in the corner of the warehouse among piles of gold, silver and jewelry boxes, mountains of armor and swords, and various sundries.]
[This is obviously not the same stone material as the historical text stele, because the surface of this ancient stele, which is full of text, has been worn away by time, and some of the words are blurred.]
[A half-flower clone of Robin was standing in front of the stone tablet, constantly writing and drawing, occasionally looking up to compare the blurred words on the stone tablet, and then continuing to write and draw.]
[From the time Robin's original body left, to the time she went to the banquet to meet up with Lynch and the others, and then to the time she brought Lynch here, she had actually been doing two things at once, with part of her attention being on the flower clone here, continuing to repair the stone tablet text and decipher the text. When she brought Lynch here, the deciphering process was also nearing completion, and a translation that had been revised several times and was finally close to perfect was handed over to Robin's original body by the flower clone, and then the flower clone retired with a smile, disbanding into a field of white petals. ]
【“What kind of text is this?”】
Robin pondered and replied, "It is a kind of writing that was used in many places around the world five thousand years ago. However, due to its long history, it seems that only the Kingdom of Flowers still has records of this writing."
[Lin Qi looked up and down at the blurry stone tablet, "Isn't there one here too?"]
[“So it’s very rare.” Robin nodded, repeatedly looked at the translation in his hand, and sighed, “The carver of the stone tablet had traveled overseas, so he mastered this kind of language that was not widely circulated at that time...Lin Qi, you guessed it right, this stone tablet was intentionally written so that others could not understand it. The person who wrote this suicide note was a person named Himiko Kanetsuki.”]
[“Suicide note?” Lynch touched his chin and moved closer to Robin to look at the translation of the stone tablet in her hand.]
[“I am Kanetsuki Himiko, the 20th Daimyo of the Flower Capital, the 20th King of Wano Country. People of the future, when you read and understand this text, my name will probably have long disappeared in the history of Wano Country, or perhaps it will be changed to Kurozumi Himiko. Because what I am about to do will anger many people... or rather, everyone in Wano Country.”]
[King of Heaven? Lin Qi couldn't help but sneer. He naturally knew that this King of Heaven was not that King of Heaven. The one in the ancient weapon was actually called Uranus, and there was no such thing as a King of Heaven.]
[“It all started in Wano Country, from when I was the heir to the throne, I secretly went out to sea for adventure… I don’t know when it started, but Wano Country has been known as the country of gold. That’s right, Wano Country is full of gold. Hana-no-Miya, Kuri, Nozomi, Suzugo, Hakumai, Usagi, and the residences of the Rokugo daimyo all have countless gold. The warriors of Wano Country even eat gold foil and think it’s normal…”]
[“But after leaving Wano Country, I heard a truth, and a question popped up in my mind.”]
["There are no gold mines in Wano Country. Where does all this gold come from?"]
[“I traveled around the world and the Grand Line, and gradually discovered a phenomenon that horrified me: Wano Country claims to be a divine country on earth, and the people of the country are unwilling to easily give up their domestic wealth to go out to sea for adventure. But why do some islands and remote countries that are far away from Wano Country and have no chance of communication with them retain traces of samurai culture in their daily lives?”]
[“I heard that a long time ago, people in the outer seas made a strict distinction between swords and knives. Why did they become like Wano Country, using swords and knives interchangeably?”]
["Why is Wano Country closing its borders?"]
[Lin Qi's expression gradually calmed down, and he continued to read the translation of the stone tablet on the paper.]
[“When this thought came to my mind, I felt a chill all over my body and a cold sweat broke out. It took me thirteen years to piece together from the old papers of many countries in the outer seas the shadow of a terrifying army that once spread across the four oceans. That war that swept the world almost destroyed an entire generation of people around the world. That was a legion of samurai, the legion of the six daimyo of Wano Country, a brutal legion that plundered gold from all over the world…”]
[“We are all robbers.”]
[“The country of Wano is peaceful and prosperous, and everyone is enjoying the bliss of the Golden Kingdom. No one has forgotten what their ancestors did. Perhaps no one wants to remember either.”]
["I am not the 20th generation king of Wano Country. I am the 20th generation bandit king."]
[“Jin Yue, Jin Yue, so this is the origin of my clan’s name.”]
[“I couldn’t accept it. I called together the other five daimyos and told the people of Wano about this history. But they couldn’t accept it.”]
「I can’t accept that.」
[“I have decided to send all the gold in Wano overseas. I will die if I do this! After all, I am just a mortal, not a king in heaven. The first knife that will chop my head will probably be the Daimyo Kozuki of Hakumai, the Shimotsuki of Suzugo, and the Amatsuki of Kuri... Let them overthrow the throne of the king of heaven, let them seize the position of Daimyo of the Flower Capital! That’s what I want to do. The people of Wano should not live in a false beauty, because the words between the lines of this beauty are the blood of innocent people. Let them disgrace my name, why should they whitewash it with gold and moon? Call me Black Charcoal! Use my bones and blood as firewood, and burn to illuminate this Wano country with a dark history, even if it can only illuminate a little bit...”]
[The text on the stone tablet is a writing system with extremely high information density. After Robin translated it into plain language, the amount of text is quite large.]
[Lynch quickly skimmed through it and saw the sentence at the end: "Himi's last words."]
【Robin sighed, "Back in Zou, Cat and Dog mentioned the six daimyo of Wano Country: Kozuki, Shimotsuki, Fugetsu, Amaezuki, Ugetsuki, and Kurozumi. At that time, I felt strange, why Kurozumi's name was so special. It seems that after overthrowing Kingetsu, the other five daimyo did not completely demote him to a commoner. At the same time, they did not continue the throne of the king, but respected Kozuki as the general of the samurai family and ruled the country of Wano."】
[Lin Qi said with a smile: "So this is the 'Golden Country'... Now it feels right. Tsk tsk, I declare that the misunderstanding with Wano Country is resolved!"]
[“Coincidentally, in the era after Himiko, the Kozuki family also had a person similar to Himiko.” Robin laughed. ]
【Lin Qi looked puzzled. He didn't care about such trivial matters at all, so he naturally forgot about them completely.】
[Robin reminded: "Zou's cave, the sea tower stone wall? Tianyue can see, Guangyue can see..."]
【Lin Qi suddenly realized, "Oh, is it the one who died together with the wolf master, the ancestor of cats and dogs... named Kozuki Kojiro?"】
[“Is it Kozuki Musashi?” Robin tilted his head. ]
[“Well, they’re all the same.” Lin Qi waved his hand. ]
[Back then, Kozuki Musashi also traveled to the sea and arrived at Zou Island on the back of the elephant lord. He discovered the identity of the elephant lord Amatsuki Gumi and the history related to the Mink Tribe... However, he was not as tough as Himiko. He did not sacrifice the entire Kozuki family, but died together with the wolf lord on Zou, burying the cruel truth.]
[When Lynch and Robin left the underground vault and returned to the banquet room in the general's mansion, Xiao Zi had already chopped off the last head of the black charcoal snake...]
[Whether it was the Golden Moon Orochi or the Black Charcoal Orochi, Lynch didn't like either of them, so when the head of the creature rolled away on the ground, Lynch didn't feel any regret. But Robin had a sense of mission to pass on the truth of history, and planned to talk to the heir of the Kozuki family alone before leaving Wano Country.]
…
"So there is such a thing..."
On the Flying Onigashima, in the secret passage underground in the castle of the Beasts Pirates, Nami couldn't help but sigh in a low voice as she listened to Robin telling her story about Himiko's deeds.
"Hmm? What?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Usopp's voice came from the empty space ahead. He lowered his voice nervously and said, "This is Kaido's base. Are you guys taking it too easy?"
Nami smiled and said, "What's the matter? Kaido is fighting Luffy up there, and there are Sanji, Zoro and the others outside..." She sensed it with her mind net and nodded, "Yeah, it really caused a commotion. The powerful masters have gone to find them, we are very safe here!"
"Found it." Robin said suddenly.
"The third signpost is the historical text!" Usopp was also excited. As long as he collected four pieces, he would be able to get the location of the final island, Raftel!
"This is the redstone signpost..." Nami exclaimed as she stood in front of the huge red historical text, "This is the first time I've seen the real thing!"
Although they now have two pieces, they are all content. Nami helped Sister Robin analyze the contents of the two road sign historical texts, and indeed there are a lot of coordinate data, but in the absence of the other two pieces, it is impossible to get an accurate coordinate point.
"Let's hurry up!" Usopp quickly took out his tool kit and found the tools he had prepared for copying historical texts, but he heard Robin say, "Okay."
"Huh?" Usopp was surprised.
Nami looked at Robin's hand. Usopp was surprised and said, "What is this!" It turned out that a pair of eyes had grown on Robin's hand - but these were not Robin's own beautiful dark green eyes.
"Lynch's eyes?" Nami understood.
Robin raised his hand and let Hua Zi Zai·Lin Qi·limited his eyes to glance at the red stone in front of the road sign, then smiled and shook hands, and the petals fell between his fingers. "Yes. He has a photographic memory!"
The senses of the clones of other people created by her Hehua Zizai ability are also connected to their corresponding bodies. The content seen by the eyes of the created Lynch is naturally received by Lynch's original body, and anything that Lynch's original body sees, even if it is just a quick glance, which Lynch himself does not remember, will be reproduced by the memory ability of the substitute after he and the substitute become one.
"Wait, this..." Nami's expression suddenly changed, and the range covered by the heart net suddenly expanded, "Oh no, Ghost Island is very close to Flower City!"
Usopp said in surprise: "What should we do? Hasn't Luffy dealt with Kaido yet?"
Robin said: "It's unrealistic of you to deal with Kaido so quickly, Usopp."
"That's called trusting the captain!"
Just as Usopp was complaining to Robin in frustration, at the top of Onigashima, Yamato looked out at the bustling city with fireworks in front of him and said anxiously, "It's too late, I'll go help him!"
She picked up the mace and wanted to join the battle against Kaido, but was stopped by Ace.
"Get out of the way, Ace!" Yamato angrily pointed his mace at him.
Ace said seriously: "My brother said that he will deal with Kaido."
Yamato said anxiously: "I admit that he is very powerful, but he is still a little short of defeating my father! Now there is no time left for him... If I don't stop my father, this ghost island will destroy the entire Flower Capital!"
Destroy the Flower Capital? You probably don't know how outrageous the guy who is now staying in the Shogun's Mansion in the Flower Capital is... Ace held back his complaints, just grabbed Yamato's wrist and said firmly: "Trust Luffy. - Besides, I stopped you from interfering with Luffy's duel, but I didn't stop you from stopping this island from flying to the Flower Capital." He couldn't help but laugh.
"I'll say it again, get out of here!"
Kaido spat out a mouthful of blood foam and looked coldly at the straw hat rubber man with steam all over his body. "At such a young age, you have mastered the Conqueror's Haki. It is indeed surprising, but you are not worthy of taking my life! - Call Lynch over here and let him kill me!!!"
Kaido almost roared out the last sentence, his eyes were red and he looked so ferocious that he almost wanted to bite people.
"Lynch?"
Luffy's mouth was filled with steam from his overheated body temperature. He muttered to himself, "As expected, Lynch is right. I can't defeat a monster like you with just Gear 2..."
"Do you mean you have new moves? You don't have time, Straw Hat Boy." Kaido sneered, "If you continue to fight me, Onigashima will have reached Flower Capital and destroyed everyone there! Oh la la la... Is this really okay? I think you seem to be as naive as Kozuki Oden. You shouldn't like so many people dying, right?"
"Everyone will die eventually." Luffy said calmly.
"..." Kaido paused. This was not like the Kozuki Oden of the past.
"Besides, didn't I tell you?" Luffy took a deep breath, bit his thumb, and smiled, "I'll take care of you! As for whether this island will destroy the Flower Capital... I still have so many friends, they won't just do nothing."
“……?!”
Kaido raised his head suddenly, and saw countless petals condensing out of thin air in the dark night sky. They actually condensed into a six-fingered hand that could almost cover the entire Onigashima Island, and it pressed down mightily.
