Secrets from Hundreds of Years Ago
"This..."
Ye Liangnai had not measured the Black Dragon's body.
But he felt that even the ancient behemoth Elephant Lord might not be as large as this Black Dragon.
One head is as big as this island.
Raftel Island is quite large, with a diameter of 25,000 meters!
And how could a monster capable of bearing such a terrifying head be small in size?
Ye Liangnai felt...
Only the hundreds of miles of canopy of this Sky-Piercing Giant Tree could support the existence of this Black Dragon.
Certainly...
What made Ye Liangnai most solemn was that the aura emanating from this Black Dragon was so terrifying that even the Yonko might not be able to match it.
He felt it would be difficult to stop the monster if it were to harm them.
"Humans..."
At this time...
The Black Dragon suddenly spoke in human language, startling everyone.
"After decades, someone has finally arrived here again."
Black Dragon looked at Ye Liangnai, but suddenly his eyes narrowed. "You don't seem to have any of Joy Boy's aura. That's strange. The man from back then was the same. He arrived here, but he wasn't Joy Boy either."
"Your situation puts me in a difficult position. Only Joy Boy can accomplish the historical mission."
Black Dragon's tone seemed to carry a hint of regret, "If we can't fulfill the agreement, I'll have to stay here longer."
Following Black Dragon's words...
Ye Liangnai then realized that his lower body was secured by a thick, mountain-like lock.
A thick, crimson chain, as thick as a building, was used to bind the Black Dragon to the giant tree.
How magnificent!
It's unimaginable what kind of being could subdue such a monster!
And forge such chains to lock the Black Dragon here!
Ye Liangnai was taken aback by this and asked, "Does it have to be the contemporary Joy Boy?"
"If he doesn't come, are we really going to be unable to move an inch on this island?"
Ye Liangnai felt very bad...
That's a lot...
This also made the others change color and show a bad look on their faces.
Could it be...
Will they have to return empty-handed?
"It's not that I'm unable to move, it's just that you don't have the power to decipher ancient secrets, nor can you release me, and you'll also be attacked by the monsters on this island..."
Hearing Black Dragon's words, Ye Liangnai was immediately relieved and said, "Being able to move freely is enough. I'm not here to decipher ancient secrets."
This time, it was Black Dragon's turn to be surprised!
"It's really strange. Neither that kid named Roger from back then nor you are Joy Boy, yet you both ended up here. But the Joy Boy I'm waiting for has never arrived."
"Could it be that this generation of Joy Boy hasn't appeared yet? Or was he killed by the Sol People before he could grow up?"
Hearing this...
Ye Liangnai couldn't help but look puzzled. "Sol People? What kind of race is that?"
The Black Dragon replied, "They were the original ruling race of this world. A thousand years ago, I descended upon this land with the White Star Tribe, bringing with me various advanced technologies and civilizations from the Shirahoshi, and established a political power."
"I never imagined that the Sol People would spend two hundred years learning all our technology, wiping out all the White Star Tribe, and severing this once interconnected and peaceful world to establish something called the World Government!"
Ye Liangnai's eyes widened in surprise!
"These Sol People are also called the 'Soul Tribe,' and their elites can achieve immortality by exchanging their souls—a very powerful ability."
Upon hearing this, Ye Liangnai's pupils contracted!
"The highest power of my Shirahoshi Clan is called 'Sun God,' which has the power of the 'Drum of Liberation' to liberate living beings, and can also extend infinitely."
"Those who possess this ability are considered Joy Boy, and have the power to save the world."
Ye Liangnai couldn't help but gasp.
Nous, Marco, and Fire Fist Ace, who were standing nearby, were all horrified.
"Isn't that... Luffy?!"
Ace said that the characteristics of Joy Boy described by the Black Dragon are exactly those of his younger brother, Straw Hat Luffy!
"This is incredible! This is truly explosive news!"
Ye Liangnai suppressed her shock and said.
Although he had no desire to know the truth about the World Government from hundreds of years ago.
But I was still shocked by what the Black Dragon told me.
This ocean is truly magnificent.
"Since you're not Joy Boy, then goodbye."
As the Black Dragon spoke, it was about to disappear into the treetops again, saying, "If you insist on exploring this island, then you'd better be prepared."
"There is a ferocious beast on each of the four sides of the island whose strength is not much less than mine!"
"They're not as easy to talk to as I am. Of course, if Joy Boy comes, he'll have to pass all four of their tests and defeat them to get the key to the Final Land!"
