Rediat's Move

Meanwhile, on the other side of the West Blue, after a night of travel, Rediat and his companions finally arrived at Ohara, the famous island in the West Blue, though it was just a small island.

"We've finally arrived, but this is really troublesome," Rediat sighed.

After all, even after arriving at the approximate location by simply following the map, they still couldn't find Ohara's location, because the map only showed them the sea area where Ohara was situated.

How could one possibly find it in an area of the ocean? Rediat simply went to an island and found a person there, extracting the exact location of Ohara from his memories.

If you ask questions, it's easy for the World Government to find your whereabouts. The World Government's intelligence network is so pervasive that it's no exaggeration to say that it's all-encompassing. It's always better to be careful.

Looking at the small island in front of me, I could immediately see the towering Tree of Knowledge in the center of the island. It was five thousand years old and was the world's largest library. As its name suggests, it contained an enormous collection of books and was said to know everything about the world.

However, it won't be long before my tree disappears into the annals of history, under the World Government's Buster Call.

Buster Call.

Established by the World Government's Marine Headquarters, it is designed to launch indiscriminate and devastating attacks (i. e., a weapon of mass destruction) on the areas that emit signals, in order to completely eliminate anything and anyone in an area that poses a threat to the World Government's rule.

It comes with one Golden Den Den Mushi and one silver Den Den Mushi. The Golden Den Den Mushi is used to notify the activation of the Buster Call, and the silver Den Den Mushi is used to receive notifications. Both are controlled by the Three Admirals of the Navy and the Fleet Admiral. The Golden Den Den Mushi can also be authorized to be used by someone.

On the battlefield, the Buster Call is a ruthless and inhumane attack that burns everything in its path. No one can ignore this power; just look at the Buster Call's combat strength.

The core force consists of five Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters. As can be seen from the major events in the original work, these Vice Admiral are all highly capable and experienced.

The Hidden 10: If five Vice Admiral are assigned to ten warships, then each vice Vice Admiral should be accompanied by ten captains. It is impossible for each Vice Admiral to command two ships, so it is necessary to have a captain for each warship, who are also the elite of the fighting force.

The soldiers were selected from the best of the navy.

The warships are the most robust and offensive vessels in the navy. They are war behemoths built by the Imperial Shipyard, Water Seven, and their quality is beyond doubt. Dealing with Sea King is basically no problem for them.

Therefore, the Buster Call's combat force composition is: 5 Marine Vice Admiral + 10 Rear Admiral + 100,000 elite naval personnel + 10 top-tier warships.

This Buster Call is different. It includes two monsters whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary Vice Admiral: Kuzan, the Devil Fruit User, Sakazuki, the Devil Fruit User. Both of them have reached the level of Admiral, making this Buster Call far more powerful than a typical Buster Call.

In accordance with the World Government's style, to avoid any historical leaks, everything on the island will be destroyed, and the entire island will be buried.

A strange mix of emotions welled up within him, but Rediat was clear about his purpose.

"This is the Tree of Knowledge? It's huge!" Standing atop the canopy of the Tree of Knowledge, overlooking the entire island and the sea beyond, Nelson exclaimed with outstretched arms, breathing in the fresh air of the high altitude.

"Yes, but the Adam Tree and the Eve Tree are even bigger." Rediat nodded.

The Tree of Knowledge is only a thousand meters tall, which is much shorter than the Adam Tree and the Eve Tree, which are both ten thousand meters tall.

"But shouldn't we use these scholars? The knowledge in their minds should be of some use to us," Nelson asked.

"No, Teach said, "It's not necessary. Ohara is just the place with the most scholars in this world. While scholars are precious, they are not uncommon in this world. Anyone who has read books and studied this kind of thing can be called a scholar. We can train them ourselves. There is no need to risk being targeted by the World Government to save them."Rediat explained coldly to Nelson.

"OK."

"Then let's get to work. Start from the top and clear out all the books. The scholars are all down there; we don't need to worry about them," Rediat said, his body transforming into a shadow that spread outwards, enveloping the bookshelves and books along with them, starting from the treetops.

"So hasty?" Nelson shook his head. Since it was Teach's order, he would do as he was told. His figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, and he arrived at a lower level. He opened his domain and put the bookshelves into his space.

The Book of Tree of Knowledge is organized entirely by volume, encompassing the vast history of humankind, astronomy, geography, fairy tales, picture books, and all recorded human wisdom—all are included here.

The two of them didn't care what kind of books they were or what kind they were; they just took them all.

Compared to Rediat, Nelson has a limit to the weight he can withstand. The reason Nelson was sent here is mainly because Rediat's Shadow Space has a limited capacity, unlike Teach's Darkness Space, which can extend and expand infinitely.

At this moment, below the Library of the Tree of Knowledge, where these scholars study the Poneglyph.

"There's something wrong here. I'll check the books upstairs; I remember finding the answer." Dr. Clover, the curator of the Ohara Library and a leading authority in archaeology, said this to the other scholars and left the study room.

"It's alright, Doctor, you can go ahead."

Dr. Clover followed the spiraling corridor upwards, lined with countless books on both sides.

Following his memory, Dr. Clover arrived at an area. He looked up, took a ladder, and climbed a few steps, because the bookshelves were incredibly tall, each reaching a height of five meters.

Clover picked up an old book with a slightly yellowed cover and was about to open it when he instinctively sensed something strange. Having lived in this library for decades, he knew everything about it perfectly, yet it was precisely because of this that he felt something was amiss.

He couldn't help but look up, his pupils contracting. In his eyes, the corridor above the Tree of Tree of Knowledge, which had been lit, was now completely dark, with shadows stretching downwards in an eerie manner, seemingly swallowing everything.

And so, in the endless shadows, a man emerged from the shadows, but he was completely shrouded in shadow, and Dr. Clover could not recognize him.

"Who are you?" Dr. Clover couldn't help but ask. Years of experience kept him from getting nervous, and his expression remained unchanged, but his heart was secretly pounding.

In a place like Ohara, the sudden appearance of such a person seems rather ill-intentioned.

Rediat had no idea he would encounter the librarian of the Ohara Library.

Faced with Dr. Clover's question, Rediat thought for a moment and figured out how he should answer.

"Who am I? I must be the guardian of history. Ohara is about to face annihilation, and I am here to protect these precious books and prevent them from being destroyed in the gunfire." Rediat's calm voice caused Dr. Clover's expression to change.

"How is this possible? Our Ohara is perfectly fine, how could it be wiped out?" Dr. Clover was somewhat incredulous, but at the same time, he had a premonition, as if he had guessed something.

"Heh, really? The World Government has already found out about what you're researching. It's a taboo subject for the World Government, so the Navy's Buster Call is heading this way. In the next few days, under the Buster Call, the entire Ohara, even this Tree of Knowledge, will be destroyed."

"So, your purpose in coming here is to take these books away." Upon hearing Rediat's words, Dr. Clover understood. He had anticipated that things would be exposed, but he had only targeted scholars like them.

Unexpectedly, it was the Buster Call. Although the Buster Call was relatively rare, he knew a little about it; it was a devastating weapon used by the World Government and the Navy to target a specific location.

A sense of sorrow welled up within him, but when he embarked on this path of researching forbidden subjects, he had already made up his mind to dedicate himself to it.

"That's right, to protect these books from being destroyed by the World Government." Rediat; he could also see that Dr. Clover was a reasonable person.

"Then take him with you." Dr. Clover nodded. "However, could you..."

"I'm very sorry," Rediat interrupted him. "We will not take any scholars with us to avoid being discovered by the World Government's intelligence network. Besides, since you knew about this in advance, you must have a way to deal with it."

"Alright," Clover nodded. "Then let me take some books first."

"Then I'll help you, you're too slow." Rediat didn't want to waste any more time.

Shadowy tentacles extended from Rediat's feet, and under Clover's command, they quickly brought out all the books Dr. Clover needed and arranged them together. Dr. Clover the location of so many books very clearly, demonstrating his erudition.

"Alright, take all the books from the fifth floor onwards. Leave the rest to us," Dr. Clover said.

Rediat nodded, and the shadow continued to extend downwards. In a corner of Rediat's Shadow Space, Nelson leaned against a bookshelf with difficulty. His body had reached its limit and could barely bear the immense pressure. He needed to relieve the burden as soon as possible.

However, the capacity of the Shadow Space was running low, and bookshelves kept being added one after another. He could only hope that there weren't many books left, otherwise he would have to bear even more weight.

If there's still space in the Shadow Space, he can reduce his burden. After all, this pressure is making it difficult for him to breathe; it's too uncomfortable.

Finally, no more bookshelves appeared, and Rediat's voice came from beside him, "All done." Nelson's face lit up with joy. He opened his domain, took out the bookshelves from his space, and felt the pressure on his body lessen, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Sir, although I don't know who you are, could you please do me a favor?" Standing on the spiral corridor, Dr. Clover saw the bookshelves being swallowed by shadows, and then all the shadows shrinking back towards the mysterious man's feet. Knowing that this man was about to leave, he bowed his head and begged Rediat.

Rediat did not answer, his body gradually sinking into the shadows beneath his feet.

Seeing this, Dr. Clover couldn't help but feel disappointed, and at the same time, somewhat powerless.

"Thank you very much." Regardless, the information the mysterious man brought him, as well as the protection of these books, had been a great help to him, Dr. Clover said solemnly.

"Just digging a hole? I'll help you with your problem." Dr. Clover was taken aback. Hearing this voice was like hearing heavenly music. Although he didn't know how this person knew his thoughts, it was someone else's secret, and his body trembled with excitement.

Watching Rediat depart, Dr. Clover calmed himself down. Thinking of the impending disaster for Ohara, his face grew heavy with worry. He had no interest in researching at that moment, so he summoned the scholars underground.

Soon, people noticed the missing bookshelves and the books on them.

"I had all those books taken away." Dr. Clover didn't tell them that. "I have something else to say next."

"What?" Dr. Clover told them the news, and they all looked very flustered, not knowing what to do.

"Yes, the team we sent out six years ago to search for the Poneglyph has been confirmed to have been captured by the World Government. There's news about it in the news. I've received information that the Navy's Buster Call is imminent, so we need to prepare accordingly," Dr. Kuroba said earnestly. "Our research cannot be destroyed like this; it must be made public."

"Yes." The other scholars nodded firmly; they had already made up their minds.

Next, these scholars acted swiftly.

Two days later, on the shore of Ohara.

During these days, the two, one human and one giant, became friends. For the first time, young Robin experienced friendship, and the two became very good friends.

"I've become an archaeologist now," Robin said with a smile, squatting down beside him.

"An archaeologist? You've become one at such a young age?" Saul looked at Robin with some surprise. How could someone so young become an archaeologist?

"But do you remember what your mother looks like?"

"I don't remember, but we're mother and daughter after all, so she should be able to recognize me. I really want to see her."

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat somber, and Saul didn't know how to comfort Robin, so he could only sigh.
