Eight Hundred Years Ago

Having been in this world for eighteen years, Sirius finally set foot on the land of Laugh Tale.

"It's completely different from what I imagined."

Yamato looked around somewhat disappointedly.

There wasn't much on the island; the land was very flat, rising in the center and sloping outwards.

This was likely done so that the Devil Fruit falling from above could roll smoothly into the sea and then be carried by ocean currents to various parts of the ocean.

"That's a good thing. There's no need to search too much; everything is already there."

Sirius grabbed Yamato's hand with his left hand and pointed forward with his right.

He was pointing in the direction of the Devil Fruit Tree trunk.

There is a building beneath that big tree.

It's really starting to resemble the Tree of Knowledge of Ohara more and more.

It was a house that wasn't particularly large, centered around the roots of the Devil Fruit Tree.

Its white exterior, seen from a distance, resembles a structure built of stone, exuding a desolate and ancient aura.

Sirius felt as if he had seen this architectural style somewhere before.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he remembered where it was.

The capital city of the Giant Kingdom.

The styles are indeed very similar.

They are all the same: desolate, ancient, grand, and magnificent.

That's not surprising, Elbaf was Joy Boy's partner to begin with.

"Then let's hurry over and take a look!"

Senior Golden Lion had already taken the lead and flown over.

Although he wasn't particularly interested in the legendary Greatest Treasure, nor did he want to become the Pirate King, this place might very well hold the secrets of that guy named Imu!

That makes it impossible not to be interested.

Sirius and the others quickly followed.

The island wasn't very big, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the outside of the stone building.

At this moment, the heavy, massive stones beneath the building and the main gate remained tightly shut.

"Hey, Sirius! Come quick! It's Roger's writing!"

The Golden Lion, who had arrived a step ahead, exclaimed in surprise.

Sirius walked over and saw several lines of text carved on the stone gate.

"Oh! Was it left by Roger?" the Straw Hat Kid asked, leaning closer. "What did he say?"

"Those who come after, open the door and witness that forgotten history! Then go and change the world!"

Sirius read the words aloud.

"Oh, it seems the captain and his men left behind it when they departed. Captain Roger himself hasn't seen it in a long time, though."

Shanks said with great reminiscence.

Ace's expression was somewhat complicated.

The person who left these words was his father, whether he wanted to admit it or not.

"Then, as Roger said, let's go and witness this history."

Sirius Yamato's hand, and the two stepped forward together.

Then they exchanged a glance and simultaneously pushed open the heavy door.

With a dull thud, the house, which had been closed for over twenty years, finally opened to Sirius and his companions.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Sirius and his companion took the lead and went inside.

The building was surprisingly well-lit inside, with lights flashing on the ceiling and surrounding walls.

"Electric light?"

Black was astonished. "So, they haven't been keeping this light on for eight hundred years?"

"Joy Boy and his team must possess some remarkable technology."

Maria said, "If you can create Devil Fruit, this shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Sirius didn't care about the lights or anything like that; he just looked at the things in the room and a smile crept onto his face.

In the brightly lit room, everything was clearly visible.

The interior of this spacious building was quite empty; it was completely deserted, with nothing on either side.

Except for the middle.

The trunk of the enormous Devil Fruit Tree stretched from the ground all the way up through the ceiling.

Around this tree trunk, there were huge stones.

A very familiar stone.

Are they all Poneglyph?

Luo laughed and said, "Then it's obvious, isn't it? Everything is recorded on these stones, Captain. Now it's time for you to show your skills."

Sirius rolled his eyes. "You think you can boss your captain around like that, huh?"

However, he still stepped forward and began to decipher these Poneglyph.

Teacher Kaido snorted coldly at this moment, "That Oden is really good to you guys!"

Now it's clear why Sirius was able to decipher the Poneglyph.

Kaido only just learned that, in addition to the two swords, Oden had even taught Sirius the Ancient Text.

"Oden is our friend," Yamato a grin.

Kaido snorted.

"The secret that has been dormant for eight hundred years is finally about to be completely unveiled!" Sabo was quite excited, and even made a phone call to Dragon on the spot so that he could listen to the broadcast remotely.

Sirius circled the tree trunk, carefully examining all the stones. This took him a while, as he didn't want to miss anything.

Then finally, the events that occurred during the Void Century, from nine hundred years ago to eight hundred years ago, gradually became clear.

"This is really something," Sirius couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, no wonder Roger called this place Laugh Tale."

"So, Sirius, what exactly happened eight hundred years ago?"

Yamato quickly asked.

Sirius gathered his thoughts briefly, and then, to everyone's eager anticipation, he spoke.

"It all started more than eight hundred years ago when a large ship landed in the sky."

"The people on board that ship are from outside this planet, people who call themselves Birka."

"They brought entirely new technologies to this ocean, and at the same time, they stirred up an unprecedented wind of freedom in a world that had been peaceful for countless years."

"Then, the change began."

Sirius's initial guess was correct: the Birkans came to this world and brought profound changes to it.

Before the arrival of the Birkans, this world had no technology whatsoever, and its level of civilization was even lower than that of the medieval era in Sirius's previous life.

Due to geographical barriers, communication between countries was extremely limited. The kings stayed in their own countries, flexing their muscles and showing off their power, but knew almost nothing about the outside world.

In short, Blue Sea at that time was barbaric and backward.

The arrival of the Birkans brought about change.

They Paradise technology beyond the imagination of the Blue Sea People. At that time, the ignorant Blue Sea People even called them gods, who had descended from the sky and possessed incomprehensible technology.

Although they have an overwhelming advantage over the Blue Sea People, the Birkans are not actually brutal.

On the contrary, they are a very civilized and gentle ethnic group.

They eventually settled at the top of the Red Line and began to gradually transform that barren land.

And there they rebuilt a country called Birka.

The people of the sea hold them in awe; those who dwell high above the clouds are called --

"Lunarian?"

Kaido surprise.
