"You're back?" Kena looked at the two people who came back and said calmly.
Keya's paper airplane could only capture a few simple images, so Kena was relieved to see the three of them back.
"Well! Sister Kona, we are back and we have made you worry!" Yuyuko chuckled, not feeling at all like she did after she was caught sneaking away.
"Tch, who cares about you? I just suddenly discovered at night that we were missing two people, and I was secretly rejoicing that I could cook for two less people in the future. And what is that thing in your hands?"
Kona spoke in a arrogant manner without changing her expression.
Kona looked at the big black square in Qishi's hand. It was so big that it would look so eye-catching even at night. Kona noticed it at the first moment, but she still exchanged a few words.
"This..." Youyouzi sighed and said, "It's a long story. Let's talk about it when we get back. It's not convenient to talk about it here."
Youyouzi didn't intend to say it here. There were too many people here, and it was easy for others to hear her. Yuyuko wants to prevent outsiders from knowing that she owns the historical text.
Although Ke Na was a little confused, she didn't ask any more questions.
Yuyouzi has always been like this. She knows a lot of things, but she won't tell them before the time comes. It must be the same this time.
Kona nodded, "Come in first, Qishi, find a place to hide that thing first."
After saying that, the group of people approached the temporary house.
Outside the house, Qi Shi threw the huge historical text aside. The historical text, which weighed only an ordinary stone, now weighed less than a piece of foam and rolled over into the small bushes next to it.
Then with a thought, Qi Shi canceled the effect of the exchange.
"You bastard Yuyuko, where is the roast chicken you left for me? I'm hungry!!!"
…
On the other side, Opp drove at full speed. In just one day, he arrived at the valley where Yuyouzi found the historical text. Walking down the river in the valley, Opp found the place in his memory.
Almost as soon as Yuyouzi and the three others left, they arrived with their back feet.
Then Opp ordered the crew to start looking for some piles of dirt that were obviously accumulated from above.
Op remembered that after he blew the thing down, he took a look and saw that the thing was buried by the falling soil to form a large mound. He thought it should be similar to a tomb covered with weeds now.
"Boss, we've come all the way here, can't you tell us what we are looking for?" Cordola looked a little bored from the side, so he came over and asked.
Op paused for a moment, then thought for a moment when he saw that the person asking was Cordora, and then sighed, "It's normal for you to be curious, and we're already here. It doesn't make any difference whether I tell you or not."
"What I'm looking for is a historical text."
"Historical text? What is that?"
It was the first time Cordola heard about historical texts and asked quickly. After all, this thing sounds awesome.
"A few years ago, you probably still remember that I followed my father's fleet to the Mermaid Kingdom successfully."
Cordola thought for a moment that this was indeed the case. "I remember that we were cleaning up those unruly pirates outside, and boss, you and the other captains followed dad to the palace?"
"No!" Op shook his head. "I didn't go to the palace. I saw something flying into the palace from outside on the way, so I went to check it out privately."
As he spoke, Op also fell into memories, "But I didn't find any information about those things at that time."
"Why?"
"The guards at the Mermaid King's Palace stopped me. They said it was best for me not to get involved in this matter. Considering the agreement between my father and King Neptune, I did not continue to delve deeper, but I still looked for the general direction of the thing. Get out."
"Result? I guess you didn't find it?" Cordola said jokingly, looking at his captain's expression.
Aip nodded and admitted the matter. In terms of his attitude towards the crew, perhaps it was due to the influence of Whitebeard that he regarded them as brothers many times.
"I didn't find it. I searched far and wide, but there was no place suitable for throwing objects. In the end, I could only throw it away. But when I came back, I saw a gorgeous tomb, which is worthy of respect. Man, I held a memorial ceremony there."
"A person worthy of respect? More powerful than dad?"
Smiling softly, Op shook his head, "Not as powerful as dad, that person you once praised. Princess Otohime of the Mermaid Kingdom."
"Later I found out that it was called the Forest of the Sea, and it was really a quiet place. ... But later on, my father came, and I followed him. When I was about to leave, my father was taken to the Forest of the Sea. Deep. And then I saw that. The text of history.”
"Is that thing important?"
Op nodded and said solemnly, "That is the key to finding ONEPIHCE."
At this point, Cordola still doesn't know how important this matter is. So he jumped and personally joined the searching team.
Soon everyone found the mound in Op's memory, but it was somewhat different from what Op had described.
The mound has obviously been turned over, and there is a big pit in the middle. Even if there was something in it, it must have been a long time ago. After all, the exposed pit is already covered with green weeds. This is definitely not a few years ago. formed within days.
"Was it taken away by others?"
Op's mind recalled the son who came with him at the beginning. Could it be him?
Gritting his teeth and shaking his head, Opu didn't intend to go there now.
If it was really his son, then the thing should have just been moved to a more hidden place. I had told him a lot of things at the beginning that he could never tell this thing unless he was someone he could truly trust.
If the son didn't tell anyone, then based on the weight of the thing, it should still be nearby.
"Please keep looking around, please."
The scope of the search expanded, and Cordola stopped and returned to Op.
"By the way, boss, this is your hometown, don't you go back and have a look?"
"...Let's talk about it later."
Optun paused and said with a bitter expression.
Do you really have the qualifications to see those people and your own son?
After expanding the search, it didn't take long for someone to find something a little wrong.
"Boss, there's something going on here!" a younger brother reported.
Op followed.
But after seeing the situation, Op showed a solemn expression.
It was a mass of shrub residue, and there was an obvious square pit in the center.
Although this location was far from the location in his memory, Opp knew just from this square pit that the historical text he was looking for had been stored here.
The smell of vegetation in the air made Opp frown even more.
The smell of this kind of grass will generally only exist when the water has not lost too much after the grass has been cut or chopped. If it takes a long time, it will not disappear, but the smell will be very weak. Opp didn't need to think too much about the smell that hit his nostrils like this now.
"Is someone the first one to get in?!" (▼ヘ▼#)
It is definitely impossible to say that you are not angry.
Op directly kicked a hand-sized stone next to him.
"Trenching!!"
The next moment Op felt that his feet were no longer his own. The huge pain made Opu forget even his anger, and only two words filled his mind.
it hurts! it hurts! it hurts!
It feels like my toes are about to break!
You must know that he is a person who has returned from the new world, but a person who has mastered the power of a strong person such as Haki, actually almost broke his own toes when he vented his anger and kicked rocks.
Op immediately looked at the stone.
The round pebbles were extremely smooth, reflecting a shimmer under the meager moonlight.
There is a rolling mark on the ground. It is a mark of being crushed by an extremely heavy object, a fresh mark.
Obviously, although his kick just now caused him pain, the stone also moved.
...This does not seem to be a glorious thing.
The strong man Gugumi also noticed the state of his captain. He looked straight at a stone with a solemn expression.
He had noticed the captain's behavior just now.
Gugumi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, walked slowly towards the stone, and grabbed it with one hand, but the stone did not move at all, it was extremely heavy.
"Gugumi, get out of the way!"
Cordola directly picked up the weapon and struck it down with a knife.
Under Cordola's knife, the stone was easily split into two, but when it was separated, a small pit was directly pressed out.
Op stepped forward and took a look, only to find that it was no different from an ordinary stone.
Op stretched out his hand to test the weight of the stone, so he grabbed half of it and lifted it up little by little.
"There's something wrong with this stone!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the stone suddenly became extremely light, and Opp accidentally fell over.
"Damn, this is so evil!"
…
Nanami, who had just unlocked the fruit's ability, suddenly sneezed.
"Is it cold? Forget it, eat first, it consumes too much energy."
