All Sides in Motion
"You haven't come to see me in ages, have you?"
The woman held Gaban in the air, teasing him.
"I've been busy, you know. Shanks and the others have been coming here lately, and since I'm practically a local from Elbaf, I have to entertain them..."
The latter scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and no longer exuded any aura of a powerful figure.
"Uncle Ashan is really afraid of his wife!"
Gulz and the others laughed and teased Gaban.
"I'm not married to this kid."
The woman casually tossed him into the crowd.
"A giant marrying a human?!"
Nolan and Hina were completely stunned; they had never imagined such a thing could happen.
"I'm Ripley. Although I have a son with this guy, we're not married."
The giantess smiled, ignoring their shock; she was used to such reactions.
"Seriously, this is technology from over a thousand years ago?!"
Lucci's focus was different from theirs. He slowly stepped forward and was surprised by the texture of the steel body.
Even when he was still with the World Government, he had never heard of anything as huge as this robot.
Not to mention, this thing has actually existed for over a thousand years.
"Don't underestimate the civilizations of the past. According to observations, this place has existed for about 3,000 years. The main body has also speculated that, a long, long time ago, the technology at that time was even more advanced than it is now."
Lilith lay on a corner of the ruins, quite pleased with the robot from ancient times.
Compared to this, Egghead's robot is nothing.
She is already prepared to settle in Elbaf for a while; technology is what attracts her most.
"That's right! But they didn't survive to this day, so just how powerful must the enemy have been?"
Gaban became serious again, staring intently at Cifer, as if he were referring to something.
He learned from both Rayleigh and Red-Haired that the person in front of him was very strong, extremely strong.
However, he was also too arrogant. His extreme power gave him unparalleled confidence, and he didn't even take the World Government seriously.
According to the mural's prophecy, to liberate the world, it is necessary to unite all forces that can be united worldwide.
But this man was the only one who seemed to exist entirely outside of the world, Gaban feared that he would suffer a setback in that great battle.
That's why they were brought here to be told that the World Government is far more complex than it appears.
"I will win."
Cifer ignored him and simply replied as such.
"Really... these kids of the new era are really scary~"
Seeing this, Gaban said nothing more, but simply pointed to the sky.
"Let's go. Now that we've made the preparations, it's time for the next generation's king to set off with the last fragment."
Following Gaban and Yaruru, the group began their journey to the top of Elbaf: the Heavenly Realm.
"Is this the true appearance of the legendary World Tree? It's truly astonishing."
When they reached the highest point in a special vehicle, Lucci finally saw the towering tree.
As a boatman, he knew how wonderful things could be made from this tree.
"The thing is right here."
Following behind Yaruru, Cifer and the others entered a recess in the giant tree.
In the dim light, Gaban carefully took out his light source.
"Finally, I can get in touch with the truth of the world..."
Robin was sitting on Sauron's shoulder, looking at the giant block of stone in front of her, covered with dense text, as if responding to her years of waiting.
At this point, all the Road Poneglyph has been obtained.
On a sea area in the New World.
"That's strange~ Is Brulee sure she didn't make a mistake?"
On the Straw Hat Pirates's Thousand Sunny, Captain Straw Hat Luffy stood at the bow, gazing at the boundless sea, lost in thought.
"There shouldn't be any problems... Let me check again..."
By this time, Brulee had already lifted her bangs and was staring intently at the Road Poneglyph.
Based on my own Awakening abilities, Raftel should be located in this area!
"Could it be that the Road Poneglyph is actually fake? Or that one of the copies we have is fake!"
Usopp stroked his chin, seemingly having come to an answer after some thought.
"It's unlikely. The Road Poneglyph we have were copied from stones, so they shouldn't be fake. Besides, someone like the Western Emperor seems to have tacitly acknowledged their authenticity..."
Sanji, seeing his wife completely absorbed in the conversation, rejected Usopp's suggestion.
"Right or wrong, now that we've gathered everything, we must find Raftel! My treasure..."
Nami's pupils had completely turned into the shape of money; she absolutely wouldn't let the duck that was almost in her grasp fly away!
"Since we haven't seen it, perhaps the place we're going to isn't even on the sea surface. Haven't we been to enough places like the sky and the seabed?"
After Zoro downed a mouthful of strong liquor, he shared his thoughts.
"That's right, but the sky is a bit difficult. How about we go check out the seabed first? I can find someone to help!"
Jinbe agreed with his opinion and planned to contact someone to come and coat the Thousand Sunny.
On the other side.
Elsewhere on the high seas of the New World, on a ship with Red Nose and flying the flag of Las Noches.
"Why... we've found Mercury Island, but why can't we find Raftel!"
On the deck, Buggy stared at the erratic pointer in his hand, his eyes bloodshot. He even wanted to just keep watching until it pointed to the next island.
"Captain Buggy, I heard that Mr. Cifer and the others have gone to find the last piece of the Road Poneglyph. What about us? And Shanks, I heard he's found a clue too!"
Seeing his almost delirious state, his subordinates swarmed around him, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him.
"Damn it... my ONE PIECE... that Shanks, what about my dream?!"
Buggy became increasingly agitated upon hearing this.
"Captain Buggy, watch out!"
Suddenly, a giant Sea King leaped out of the sea and headed straight for the ship.
"What a joke... Even if I'm dependent on someone else, I've now got the chance to go to Raftel. I will not die until I see the treasure that man left behind!"
Buggy shouted.
The Sea King, as large as a ship, was instantly torn to pieces.
"This is..."
Buggy's eyes widened at that moment.
