The whereabouts of the Road Poneglyphs
King Riku and Luffy were among them in the Royal Palace.
Haku sat in her chair and looked across at Luffy.
"******?" Luffy said to Haku, his mouth full of food.
Haku looked completely bewildered; there was nothing she could do—she genuinely hadn't understood.
"Idiot!" Nami couldn't help but slap Luffy.
Chopper translated for Luffy: "Did Luffy say Sanji absolutely has to go see that old Big Mom?"
Haku neither nodded nor shook her head; she simply said, "You just wanted to join in the fun, right?"
Luffy nodded quickly, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with shining eyes, "Of course I want to go!"
"Um? Didn't we agree to go to Zou together?" Kin'emon asked hesitantly.
"You have no right to speak here!" Haku glanced indifferently at the Red Hair, extremely ugly man next to Kin'emon.
That was a samurai from Wano Country, a member of the Black Charcoal Family, Paramecia Pen-Pen Devil Fruit User, and an undercover agent hidden among the Nine Red Scabbards.
He possesses exceptional drawing skills, yet he uses his relatively inflexible left hand to conceal his true drawing abilities in daily life.
Of course, Haku could expose the other party's undercover identity on the spot. However, this would not benefit him at all, nor would he have any obligation to help Kin'emon and the others.
So Haku pretended not to know anything about it.
Haku said to Luffy, "You can go to Zou first. We can always split up. Anyway, Sanji will be taken away eventually."
"Oh! Right, there's also a red Road Poneglyph in Zou. Just remember to get your hands on it!" Haku suddenly said, remembering something.
"Huh? There are already two Road Poneglyph here, Haku, how do you know everything?" Chopper asked curiously.
Haku laughed and said, "How I know isn't important. Besides, I also know where a Road Poneglyph is! However, you'll have to get yourselves."
"You know of another one?" Robin finally couldn't sit still any longer and spoke up.
Haku nodded. He knew that even if the red Road Poneglyph, it was still worth considering.
However, Robin, being an archaeologist, would still be interested in it.
"That's right, but whether you can get your hands on that Road Poneglyph's location depends on your own abilities," Haku replied with a smile, a mysterious glint in her eyes.
Upon hearing Luffy, Luffy's eyes widened immediately, and he excitedly shouted, "Wow! Sounds like a new adventure? That's awesome! We'll definitely find that Road Poneglyph!"
Nami looked at Luffy, smiled helplessly, and then turned to Haku, asking, "Haku, could you tell us where that Road Poneglyph is? That would make it easier for us to find it."
Haku glanced at Kanjuro again, which instantly increased Kanjuro anxiety. Had he given something away?
Haku said, "The last one I know of, the third Road Poneglyph Poneglyph, is in the hands of Kaido, Four Emperors, of the Beasts Pirates in Wano Country."
"Eh~!" Nami, Chopper, Usopp exclaimed in shock.
"And what about the last piece?" Robin asked, adding.
Haku shrugged. "To be honest, I don't know either. That piece was supposed to be on Fish-Man Island. Now I don't know who took it."
"Fish-Man Island also has a Road Poneglyph?" Robin asked in surprise.
Haku nodded and slowly said, "Although I don't know who took the piece from Fish-Man Island, I do have a few suspects."
Robin adopted an attentive listening posture, while the others were also intrigued. After all, this was crucial information leading to Laugh Tale! So, they wanted to hear what Haku had to say.
Haku took a moment to organize her thoughts before saying, "My first suspect is Red-Haired Shanks!"
"Huh? No way, why did Shanks take that Road Poneglyph?" Luffy exclaimed, his mouth agape.
"Don't forget, Luffy! Shanks knows your dream, and he said he'd be waiting for you in the New World, have you forgotten?" Haku explained to Luffy in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
Haku added, "And Shanks was one of Pirate King D. Roger's crew members. He knows the importance of the Road Poneglyph! He also knows the whereabouts of all the Road Poneglyph! So, I think it's very possible that he took the Road Poneglyph Fish-Man Island!"
Everyone thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.
"My second suspect is the Whitebeard Pirates! Before Whitebeard died, he was the one protecting Fish-Man Island. So, it's possible they took it or know the location of that Road Poneglyph!" Haku continued.
"Whitebeard? Is that the old man who died in the Marineford War?"
It's rare for Luffy to remember someone like this.
Haku nodded and said, "Whether they have the Poneglyph or not, you can ask Marco when you get to Wano Country. He's the one with the pineapple-shaped head!"
Nami's heart skipped a beat, and she asked curiously, "Will the Whitebeard Pirates all be in Wano Country?"
Haku nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, almost everyone will go there! After all, the Beasts Pirates dealt them a heavy blow a while ago. They definitely need to get revenge!"
"Doesn't that mean we'll be able to fight alongside Ace then?!" Luffy said excitedly and expectantly.
"There are requirements for fighting side by side, and you're still far from that level! Don't even think about it then!" Haku said to Luffy.
"Huh? What level of strength do I need to reach?" Luffy asked, his face flushed.
Haku thought for a moment and said, "At the very least, I should be able to fight a Yonko Commander to a standstill!"
"The Yonko Commander?" Everyone was puzzled by Haku's words.
Haku spoke up, "He's someone whose strength is... no, not just one level below the Four Emperors, but one level below the Three Emperors."
"Take Charlotte Katakuri, one of the 'Sweet Commander' of the BIG MOM Pirates, for example!"
"Or perhaps King the Conflagration, one of the 'Calamities' of the Beasts Pirates!"
"Of course, Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates! You could count him, or you could not! You should know that his strength is no less than any of the Three Emperors."
As Haku slowly began to speak, everyone else's mouths gaped open, unable to close!
Everyone thought they must have misheard. Because Haku said that Luffy's strength would only reach the threshold if he could defeat these people.
That's a bit of an exaggeration! Of course, this is also because Haku is so strong, so his vision is even higher than Luffy's and the others!
