The Riddle Elephant

"It's getting closer!"

Hiyori stood up, walked to the ship's railing, and gazed at the distant sea. "He is overjoyed because of my arrival!"

"So, who exactly is calling for Hiyori?" Jack subconsciously looked at Sirius.

"I'm curious about that too," Luo said, looking at Sirius.

You're treating me like Sirius Encyclopedia, aren't you?

But I do have a guess about this.

Sirius smirked. "Since you're curious, let's go take a look!"

How can you experience the sheer awe of seeing it for yourself, rather than just hearing about it verbally?

"Black!"

"Understood."

So the Sirius began to move at full speed, speeding across the sea and carving a deep trail across the azure ocean.

The speed of the Sirius was no exaggeration, even when it was just sailing on the sea without flying.

The seawater on both sides was rushing backward at high speed. In just over ten minutes, the Sirius had already covered a distance of over a hundred nautical miles, which was definitely not something an ordinary ship could do.

"Are you sure we're heading in the right direction?" Luo looked around, but all he could see was a vast expanse of sea. "We've sailed over a hundred nautical miles, but we haven't seen anything."

"There's no mistake, the sound is getting louder and louder!"

Hiyori her hand, her brows furrowed, looking somewhat unwell. "He said he came to welcome us."

Is it Sea King?

Yamato guessed, "Like the Sea King who guarded Pluton before?"

Those Sea King can also talk to Hiyori, and they are quite friendly towards Hiyori.

"Have no idea."

Hiyori shook her head. "But one thing is certain: this guy is much more intelligent than the last Sea King."

"No need to rush, we should be quite close by now, right?"

Sirius said with a smile.

They were indeed very close. The Sirius continued forward, and after a few more minutes, a black dot appeared on the screen ahead. As they drew closer, the black dot rapidly expanded.

Is that the one?

Luo squinted and tried to see ahead, but the distance was too far, and he still couldn't quite make out what it was.

"That's him!"

Hiyori said in a deep voice, "He's very happy! He's welcoming me!"

"It's ridiculously big."

Black said.

"Is it big?" Ulti asked. "I can't tell."

"Because there are no landmarks at sea, it's impossible to accurately judge the distance and size," Black explained. "If my calculations are correct, this should be the largest creature we've ever encountered!"

Black's calculations were almost certainly correct; as the Sirius continued to approach, the mysterious creature finally revealed its true form.

"What is this?!"

Luo was utterly shocked.

The Sirius had reached the monster in front of it, so its appearance was now fully visible.

This is an elephant; its gray skin looks decayed, as if it might turn to ashes and vanish at any moment.

He looks very old.

But of course, that's not the point.

The key point is that he seems to have gone a bit too far.

With half of his limbs submerged in the seawater, he was walking on the surface of the sea.

His towering back reached into the clouds, making it almost impossible to see his true appearance.

This is a gigantic elephant, as large as an island.

"It's unbelievable that such a creature actually exists in the world!"

Page One exclaimed in amazement, "Is this the giant elephant from the adventure story of Kozuki Oden?"

"It's him! He is Zunesha! The place Roger and his men once visited!"

Yamato tugged at Sirius's sleeve, shouting, "Right, Sirius? That's it!"

"Certainly."

This is, of course, Zunesha.

A legendary giant elephant, over 20 kilometers tall, that has roamed the seas of the New World for countless years.

"This is --"

Bepo stared blankly up at the giant elephant before him, then sniffed, "Zunesha!"

Sirius chuckled softly, turned around, and said, "So, how does it feel to be home Bepo?"

"That's right! The Mink Tribe is right behind Zunesha!"

Yamato suddenly Satori, "This is Bepo's hometown!"

Long ago, Bepo fell off Zunesha and boarded a ship bound for the North Sea, where he was stranded.

And today, I have finally returned to my hometown.

Tears welled up in Bepo's beady eyes. "I want to go back and see everyone."

I've forgotten many things from my childhood, but I still remember some.

For example, Bepo remembers that he also has an older brother.

"Then let's log in!"

"Sirius shouted."

Just when I was worried about not being able to find Zou, he delivered himself right to my door.

The second stone is right here.

"But before that," Sirius turned to Hiyori, "Hiyori, what did Zunesha say to you?"

Hiyori hasn't spoken since just now; she's been communicating with Zunesha.

"You said something quite astonishing."

Hiyori out a slow sigh, a solemn expression creeping onto her beautiful face.

Let's rewind a few minutes to when the companions were in awe of Zunesha.

A loud voice rang in Hiyori's ears, "You've finally arrived. Welcome, Kozuki descendant."

"My name is Hiyori," Hiyori introduced herself, then asked, "You are Zunesha, right?"

"That's right,"

The Zunesha replied, "I have waited eight hundred years for a command. Now, you have finally appeared. Has the time come?"

"Timing?" Hiyori frowned.

"Has the time come to continue the unfinished war from eight hundred years ago?" Zunesha continued. "Hiyori, is it time to start the war?"

"War?"

Hiyori was taken aback. "What exactly happened eight hundred years ago? And who was our enemy?"

Zunesha paused for a moment, then said, "I see. You didn't know? Or is it too early? Just like Roger and Oden back then."

"Do you know Roger and my father?" Hiyori, greatly surprised.

"I watched them as they arrived," Zunesha, "But they came too early to hear my voice."

"What does this mean?" Hiyori asked hurriedly. "What do you mean by 'too early'? Does it have to be a specific time?"

"I know everything, but I'm sorry, Hiyori, I can't tell you."

The Zunesha said, "Go and find it, go to that Final Island, find what my master, Joey Boy, left behind; he left everything there."

"Go and find that drumbeat; it will appear in this very era."

"Whether you choose to bear the will left behind eight hundred years ago, whether you choose to participate in this war, is a decision for you to make."

"But if, Hiyori, you and your comrades ultimately decide to fight, please call my name. I have waited for far too long."

After listening to Hiyori's account of her communication with Zunesha, Sirius stroked his chin.

Doesn't this mean they've said nothing at all?

A riddle teller, right?
