Poneglyph

Rain Country, known as the dream city of Alabasta.

This city is situated in an oasis, boasting excellent geographical conditions and abundant water resources, making it the most prosperous city in the country.

However, this is certainly not the reason why the city is called the City of Dreams.

That's entirely because of the city's most famous industry.

This place is home to numerous casinos, attracting gambling addicts from all over Alabasta, where stories of overnight riches are born every day.

Therefore, this is undoubtedly the city of dreams.

Who wouldn't want to become rich overnight?

Equally important is that Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the guardian deity of Alabasta, also resides here.

Bustling and safe, this is Rain Country, the city of dreams for the people of Alabasta.

On this day, a group of people arrived here.

"Big big!"

Yamato slammed his fist on the table in excitement, joining the other gamblers who were already blinded by greed in their shouts.

Then the dealer opened the dice cup.

"One, one, two, small!"

As the dealer's voice rang out, a cheer erupted from the crowd, accompanied by dejected sighs.

Yamato and left the gambling table, sitting down next to Sirius was having snacks in the lounge area, and resting his head on Sirius's shoulder.

"Lost it all?"

Sirius picked up a small pastry and handed it to Yamato.

"Kindness."

Yamato swallowed the snack whole and mumbled, "If only I could use Observation Haki to Future Sight like Katakuri."

"Wouldn't that be pointless?"

Sirius said with a smile.

"That's true."

I didn't come here to make money; I just wanted to enjoy the thrill of the unknown.

"By the way, Sirius, isn't that Shichibukai Crocodile in this city? Shall we go find him?"

"No need,"

Sirius shook his head. "That's a boring guy."

"Let's get to Alubarna as soon as possible; if we wait any longer, we might run into some trouble."

"Kindness."

Another corner of the city.

Wearing a loose white robe that concealed his figure, Bell seemed somewhat restless.

He admitted that Sirius and his crew were not a vicious pirate group; on the contrary, they were very mild-mannered, and he had not been mistreated at all during the few days he had been with them. Instead, he had been treated well.

But he's still a pirate, no matter what!

How can anyone feel at ease entrusting their safety to these people?

He always wanted to do something.

Now might be the opportunity.

This city, nestled in the Rain Country, is home to Alabasta's heroes!

As long as we find an opportunity to inform Lord Crocodile of this news—

But just then, Page One, who was strolling around the streets with Vivi Koza, suddenly turned around and said, "It's better to keep things quiet. You don't want to see us cause a huge scene in this country, do you?"

Bell froze.

Yes, even if the message is delivered, what difference does it make?

This group is far too powerful for this country to resist.

If the Black Wolf, who had always been friendly, were truly enraged, it might be a disaster for the country.

"Bell, don't worry,"

Vivi added, "Mr. Sirius and his family are good people."

"I also don't think they seem like the kind of vicious pirates," Koza added.

"I see."

Bell sighed.

The journey through the Rain Country soon came to an end, and the Sirius once again carried everyone into the vast desert, heading straight for the last city, Alubarna.

"That's so cool!"

Koza stood on the deck of the Sirius and shouted excitedly.

What young person could resist a steel beast that can climb mountains and swim, change form, and roam the desert?

"Of course,"

Page One said with a hint of pride, "The Sirius is an important partner of ours."

In the literal sense.

After all, Black's true form is this ship.

"It's wonderful to be able to sail the seas in a ship like this."

Koza laughed and said, "It's making me want to go out to sea and become a pirate."

Bell's heart leaped into his throat.

Koza, you've gone astray.

Fortunately, Princess Vivi spoke up at this moment, interrupting them. She asked expectantly, "Pay-tan, the story from last time isn't finished yet. What happened after you went to the North Sea?"

Page One is telling stories to two friends, their adventures.

The Sirius continued its journey, undeterred by the endless yellow sand.

Soon, Alubarna the city with a history of four thousand years, built on a high platform.

"Luo, and Hiyori,"

As they disembarked and prepared to enter the city, Sirius suddenly said, "You should come with us."

"Oh?"

Luo raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "Are you looking for a date? If so, I personally recommend Jack and Maria."

"I feel the same way, Luo isn't my type either," Hiyori a smile.

Maria frowned slightly, seemingly somewhat troubled. "Jack's words—"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jack, who was innocently brought up, rolled his eyes. "I'm not interested in women."

Sirius's lips twitched. What were these bastards talking about? "I need your help with something important."

Luo and Hiyori then nodded.

This time, Sirius acted with four people.

Princess Vivi volunteered to lead her friends on a tour of Alubarna, and indeed, there was no better guide than her.

Sirius and his companions entered the city and headed straight for the palace. Black was giving them directions; he already knew the city's layout.

They arrived at the back of the palace, beneath a high wall.

"Take us in, Luo."

Sirius Road.

He scanned the area with his Observation Haki; there were no patrolling personnel at the moment.

What's behind that?

Luo asked as he opened the room.

"It's the Nefertari family's cemetery," Black's voice rang out at the opportune moment.

"Cemetery?"

Upon entering the cemetery, Luo looked around in surprise. "Why did we come here?"

"There's something very interesting here."

Sirius turned his head with a smile, "Hiyori, can you hear anything?"

Are you using me as a radar?

Hiyori pursed her lips, then listened intently.

The next instant, her eyes widened. "Poneglyph? I heard a voice similar to the Poneglyph from the Sky Island!"

"This is it. Lead the way."

Hiyori led the way, and the group arrived at an open space. "It's right down there."

Luo understood his role and immediately opened the ROOM space, teleporting the group underground.

The dim space was illuminated only by a few oil lamps on the walls.

Even with such a faint light, Sirius and the others could clearly see the enormous rock in front of them.

"Is it really the Poneglyph?"

Yamato looked at Sirius in surprise, "Sirius, how did you know?"

I guessed.

Sirius blinked.

Yamato puffed out his cheeks.

"So, Captain, what's written on this stone?" Luo asked curiously.

"It records the whereabouts of Pluton." Sirius deciphered the writing on the stone. "Oh, so that's where it was?"

"Pluton??"

At the same time, inside the royal palace.

"The men in black robes have appeared?" Cobra's spirits lifted. "Great! They've come to Alubarna! Vivi and the others must be with them! Where's the navy? Where are they?"

"We've already entered the Sando River; we should be on shore by now."
