Chapter 861 Ragnarok

There was a tremor in the darkness, and the gravel shook and rolled.

A faint light shone through the cracks in the rocks, along with the sound of wind, rain, and Nami's sweet voice: "Okay, this should be the location. It turns out that the last piece of red stone was hidden by Shanks inside this mountain wall..."

"Wait, Miss Nami, Franky seems to have discovered something." Sanji's voice.

"There's a mechanism hidden in this stone wall. There's no need to destroy it completely. You guys are so unprofessional!"

"Super~~level~~"

"Hey, Merry, don't imitate him at this time."

"oh."

Zoro pondered and said, "This mechanism to hide the red stone inside the mountain may not be made by Red Hair himself..."

Luffy made a similar gesture of contemplation, "Isn't it him? I see. I totally understand."

"Yohoho," Brook said leisurely as he strolled back and forth with his bony hand behind his back. "That Roger was the first to arrive at this Waterstar Island, and then he learned about the four road sign historical texts. And Shanks, who was a trainee crew member of Roger's pirate group at the time and later had great expectations for Mr. Luffy, hid the road sign historical text in his hand here on Waterstar Island... I guess that Roger's pirate group got their first road sign historical text on this island."

"So that's how it is?!" Luffy was shocked.

"Don't you understand it completely?" Nami and Zoro hit the rubber head with their hand knives and knife handles from the left and right.

Soon, with the cooperation of Franky and BIB, the historical text of the road sign was taken out of the mountain intact. Although the historical text is almost indestructible due to its material, what if it is damaged? It is better to be careful, so the crowd did not use particularly rough methods to forcibly destroy the mountain wall to take it out.

Boom! The huge and standard red historical text stone tablet was grabbed by "BIB" with one hand and dropped onto the slippery ground.

The red stone remained motionless as the storm blew by. The raindrops washed away the dense ancient characters on the stone tablet. History stood firm in the torrent, silent and unshakable.

"If Sister Robin were here, she would be able to start interpreting it right away..." Nami was muttering to herself when Robin's puzzled voice rang out beside her: "I'm here?"

Nami looked back and said in surprise, "You didn't stay with Lynch in that Joey...Oh, it's the flower clone?"

Nami realized it later and playfully stuck out her tongue. She was not the user of the Flower-Flower Fruit, so she didn't have the concept of "clone" in her mind. On Robin's side, if her original body couldn't leave for something, she would subconsciously create a flower clone to do it for her. This had already become her instinct and was something she was used to. But for Nami, she needed to pause and think about it before she could react.

Robin smiled and took out the little green one he brought with him. "Let's go into the castle and interpret it. It will also help us piece together the historical texts of the four signposts at once and get the exact location of the final island, Raftel..."

…

For Robin, multitasking is as easy as eating and drinking. She divided some of her attention to interpret the historical text on the last red stone in the Den Den Mushi castle and gave it to Nami to analyze. At the same time, she also listened to the conversation between Lynch and Joy Boy. Lynch asked the happy boy from 800 years ago about Im, who was Lynch's ultimate enemy. Robin herself didn't care about Im, but she cared about Lynch. She was naturally worried about Im and wanted to listen to him.

But in response to Lynch's question, "How much do you know about that person?" Joey Boy waited for a long while before asking in confusion, "That's all? That person, who is it?"

Robin knew that Lynch could not mention Im's name directly. Doing so would be like knocking hard on Im's door and calling her to come over to listen to Joey Boy's answer... Lynch might not mind, but it was really unnecessary to attract Im's attention here.

So, Lynch changed his words and said, "That's the person. She seems to be immortal, she can make most of the devil fruits by herself, she-"

"You mean that woman?" Joey Boy interrupted Lynch.

Judging from his reaction, he seemed to know that if he mentioned Im's name, Im's eyes would be on him... Robin thought thoughtfully.

Qiao Yi Boyi smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I know her. It was she who provided the 'childlike fruit' to the coalition forces of twenty countries..."

He paused, "Or in other words, she took the fruit of our childhood away from us."

"It was you who mastered the Fruit of Childhood at that time?" Robin was surprised.

Joy Boy said: "You know, I work for Cirque du Soleil, and the Childlike Fruit is the ability of one of my colleagues! It is used to perform circus shows and make the audience laugh!"

Robin frowned slightly, and Joyboy quickly explained: "Don't let your imagination run wild! We won't use this ability on humans! Erasing a person's existence is too cruel!"

Lin Qi said: "Oh? If it is not used on humans, it seems to be used on animals."

"That's right," Joyboy nodded. "In the circus, we also have many animal companions for performances. When some animals are old, disabled, or dying, we will use the Fruit of Childishness to transform them into living toy animals, freezing their lives at the last second before they pass away..."

“If your entire circus has a consensus that ‘dying animals will become toys, and these toy animals in the circus are our former animal companions’, and your Childlike Fruit ability user does not impose additional ability contracts on them at the moment of turning them into toys,” Lynch nodded, “then for these animals turned into toys, they are equivalent to gaining the ability of immortality and an invulnerable body, and they should be able to speak.”

Joy Boy smiled and said, "We also have people who can see into people's minds. If an animal doesn't want to become a toy and continue to live, we won't force it."

Looking at the stormy and doomsday-like environment of Shuixian Star Island, Robin couldn't help but sigh, "With clowns like you who bring joy, cute and lively toy animals that speak, and someone who can see into people's hearts... I guess that person is a magician? It's no wonder that a circus like this is popular. At least it should have been very popular in the past."

Lin Qi said: "A magician with a devil fruit that can see into the mind, isn't this cheating?"

"The essence of magic is deception," Joy Boy said with a nonchalant laugh. "In order to make everyone laugh even more, I even made myself a devil fruit that can make my body twist as if it were rubber... Unfortunately, a great war broke out later and I died without being able to use it."

rubber……

Lynch and Robin looked at each other. Before leaving Elbaf, Red Hair said that after he hijacked the Rubber Fruit from the World Government's warship, he guessed that this thing might be the only devil fruit created by Joy Boy back then, which Im could not control or create... Now it seems that he guessed right.

However, Joyboy's motive for making this rubber fruit is laughable.

Joy Boy, or Marshall D. Manhattan, was not targeting Im, but was just trying to use the rubber fruit to improve the performance of his circus clown show. He was in business...

Robin said: "The rubber fruit can actually be used in combat..."

"Haha, that's definitely not possible," Joy Boy waved his hands and said, "How can you use such a funny thing to fight? Your fists will become limp... Wait!"

He seemed to suddenly remember that when Nami punched Luffy and sent him flying, his neck and head were deformed when Luffy pulled his head out of the hole...

"That kid ate the rubber fruit I made?!!!!!!!" Joyboy was shocked, and hugged the head made of red and black ripples with his hands.

Lynch laughed and said, "Joey Boy, do you believe in gravity?"

Robin patted his arm gently, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really amazing."

…

"It's all so magical, what do you think, Green Boy, Lab?"

In front of the broken stone wall, a green Den Den Mushi was lying on the ground in the pouring rain.

Den Den Mushi held an umbrella over its head, and the ship elf Merry, who was wearing a sailor suit that looked like a raincoat, sat beside it, holding the umbrella for Xiaolu.

Meili's big eyes always sparkled with curiosity about everything in the world. She didn't know why she was so emotional, and she smiled at the island whale floating in the water mass above her head, kicking up water with her rain boot-like feet, splashing on Xiaolu's face, causing it to open one eyelid impatiently, hum lazily twice, and then close its eyes again.

Through the gap between its closed eyelids, I could see the Den Den Mushi castle deep inside its body, which was now brightly lit.

Usopp, Chopper, Kitsunemaru and Brook were observing this last signpost of historical text. The red stone was surrounded by countless gold from Sky Island.

Robin's flower clone finished reading the historical text on the redstone, wrote it on a piece of paper and gave it to Nami. Nami took out the other redstone information that had already been deciphered, put the four pieces of paper together, crossed her fingers and stretched them backhandedly, lightning crackled between her fingers, she was full of fighting spirit and fully focused on the final project of deciphering the coordinates of the final island...

As for Zoro, after he had enough sleep, he wanted to take a walk around the island. After all, it was a rare trip here.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"I want to chop the storm." The three-sword swordsman walked away, and the chef with curly eyebrows was worried, "You green algae head really have no self-awareness! You will get lost if I let you go three meters away!" So he followed him out. Franky had nothing to do, so he followed the two of them for a walk.

Franky, wearing only a pair of shorts and swinging his hairy legs, looked at the gloomy sky with heavy rain and said with emotion: "I have only seen this kind of horrible weather when the 'Water Gods' of the Water City come... In other words, this island is full of 'Water Gods' every day all year round?"

Zoro was indifferent. The harsh environment might be quite to his liking ascetic self.

Sanji said: "That's why there is no life here..."

…

"I'm sorry, but I don't really know the person you want to ask."

Joy Boy said frankly, "If I knew everything about her, maybe we wouldn't have lost so badly that year, right?"

The shadow left by this Cirque du Soleil star clown from eight hundred years ago seemed to be fading away. The ripples of Luffy that kept him alive were becoming more blurred. He said slowly, "Since you already know that she is immortal and can make devil fruits, I don't have any additional information to provide you..."

After a pause, Joy Boy said, "She is very strong, there is no doubt about that, incredibly strong. But as long as the coalition forces, or what you call the World Government, are defeated, she may not cling to this organization that found her from nowhere and got her help in the first place..."

"But defeating the world government doesn't mean defeating her," Lynch said. "She's still here. The problem isn't solved."

Robin said, "I think what Mr. Marshall means is that maybe we don't have to get rid of her."

“Yeah, yeah!” Joey Boy nodded repeatedly, “That’s what I mean!”

"No, we have to kill her!" Lin Qi was unhappy. "We made Robin and Hancock suffer for ten years. How can we let her go?"

Robin was angry and amused. It was you who suffered the most! She sighed softly and looked at the few remaining traces of Joyboy. "But you also said before that you gathered everyone's efforts and spent a hundred years to finally leave something on the final island... I think I should be able to assume that you think that the thing you left behind can be the last hope for those who come after you to defeat the unbeatable man. Right?"

Qiao Yi Boyi sighed: "You talk so confusingly..."

He was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Regarding this, I think... I should keep a little mystery. Go find it, find the last hope we leave for this world!"

"Can you use it to defeat the enemy and save the world? That depends on you! Isn't it too much to expect an old guy like me who has been dead for hundreds of years to give an accurate answer? Hahahaha..."

Amidst the laughter, Joyboy's phantom smoke dissipated into wisps of red and black ripples, and under the impact of the slanting storm, it swirled into a pattern that looked like a grin, but it quickly disappeared.

"The last hope..."

Lynch touched his chin, "Wait, is it that kind of thing?!"

…

Boom! Waves tens of meters high hit the shore, splashing white foam hundreds of meters high, but were collectively ignored by the three-sword swordsman, the golden-footed cook, and the perverted shipwright.

"Just looking at these raging waves, it feels like the entire island is floating and shaking on the sea..."

Franky said to himself, "Seeing this kind of weather, I feel like building a boat like crazy..."

"Yeah..." Sanji nodded, then turned his head away and said speechlessly, "Seeing stormy weather makes me want to build a ship. Do all shipbuilders have this occupational disease?"

Zoro stood like a reef in the waves and said to himself, "We have to leave as soon as possible."

…

Boom boom boom boom!

The waves crashed against the rocks of Elbaf Island.

The black sea in the distance was rising and falling in blocks, and the horizon was no longer the smooth arc of the past, but a wavy line with ups and downs... The sky was gloomy, the storm was roaring, and the rain was pouring.

Shanks stood at the bow and muttered to himself, "Odin, if I remember correctly, you have a prophecy passed down from generation to generation in Elbaf. What is it called?"

The warrior chief of Elbaf scratched his rain-soaked beard and replied, "Well... it's called 'Ragnarok'."

Snap!

The sky was filled with lightning and thunder rumbled.

The rainstorm intensified. The waves surged from the horizon like a black wall, as if the whole world was roaring.
