Before long, Lu Yu and Robin arrived in front of this heavy stone, which was covered with intricate patterns and incomprehensible writing.
Upon seeing the stone before him, Robin's eyes immediately lit up with surprise.
These extremely complex characters left Lu Yu completely bewildered, but they didn't seem to be too difficult for Robin.
Seeing this, Lu Yu's lips curled up slightly. He had to admit that triggering the Straw Hat Pirates's connection was extremely well-deserved, given the complexity of the characters and patterns. It was clear at a glance that it was no ordinary creature.
Moreover, the text here has withstood the elements for so long without changing in the slightest, which suggests that there must be some untold, earth-shattering secret behind it!
" Robin, I know you can decipher the writing on this, but this kind of stone is relatively easy for me to find. If you want to see this kind of stone again in the future, then in exchange, you must tell me everything recorded on this stone!"
Lu Yu knew in his heart that there seemed to be a thin layer of mystery surrounding Luo Bing.
For Robin, deciphering the lost century of history was a deep-seated obsession.
Given Lu Yu's strength, it's naturally more reliable for him to grasp and understand the missing history of the past 100 years than for Robin to search alone.
Upon hearing this, Robin hesitated for a moment, glanced at the inscription on the stone, and then nodded gently.
"Make a deal!"
They hit it off immediately, and a complex look appeared in their eyes as they looked at each other.
However, when Luo Bing translated the contents of the stone tablet word by word for Lu Yu, Lu Yu felt a little surprised!
" Laugh Tale? Is this the legendary final island reached by the Pirate King? Could it be that the secret to immortality lies there?"
After listening to Robin interpret the inscription on the stone, a strange idea suddenly popped into Lu Yu's mind.
However, Lu Yu quickly rejected this idea.
If the island held the secret to immortality, how could it have allowed the Pirate King to die so easily?
"Forget it, there's no point in forcing it. Let's leave it to fate. I'll just Luffy by Luffy's side and be a lazy bum. Anyway, things are generally more promising when they're around..."
Finding nothing he wanted, Lu Yu yawned in boredom and prepared to slip away.
Just then, Luo Bing looked at the writing on the stone and exclaimed:
"My God, this even contains the secret to making people never age!"
"What?"
Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light; he hadn't expected that the information he wanted to obtain would be found on a stone.
Lu Yu immediately stood up from the ground, strode forward, and looked on with anticipation in his eyes.
"This describes the power of the Op-Op Fruit. Once awakened, it grants immortality, but this power can only be used once! And it comes at the cost of the caster's life!"
After listening to Robin's explanation, a strange thought came to Lu Yu's mind.
Why would the power of a Devil Fruit be inscribed on this Poneglyph?
Experiencing this strange phenomenon frequently occurring around him, Lu Yu felt as if he had entered a vortex.
There were far too many things contained within this vortex, and even Lu Yu couldn't make sense of it all at once.
"It seems our goal should be to find the Op-Op Fruit. With such a precedent, there should be a way to make our parents, brother, and the two girls live forever!"
After getting the answer he wanted, a smile suddenly appeared on Lu Yu's face.
At that moment, Luffy and his crew's excited voices could be heard from afar, each of them carrying a large bag full of luggage on their backs.
The crisp sound of the luggage clinking together made it clear that the bag was full of gold!
"Hahaha, this is amazing! I never thought the legendary City of Gold actually existed."
The Shandia inhabitants didn't care about the gold at all; what they cared about was the bell you kicked out—that was the true symbol of their heritage.
Seeing Nami's excited expression as she desperately protected the gold behind her, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile helplessly.
This little money-grubber is the type who would never let go of a duck he's already got his hands on.
Just as Lu Yu was pondering what to eat next, Zoro and Luffy unexpectedly bowed down in Lu Yu direction.
"We hope you can teach us!"
The moment those words were spoken, the surroundings fell into complete silence.
Who would have thought that someone as strong and proud as Zoro, and Zoro who always considered becoming the Pirate King his dream and goal Lu Yu Luffy?
Hearing the two people kneel down before him with such sincerity, Lu Yu was both amused and exasperated.
"What are you two doing? I'm still one of your crew members! Get up quickly, this is not a good look..."
However, before Lu Yu could help the two up, the remaining people unexpectedly bowed down in the direction they were facing.
" Lu Yu- kun, please, you must make us strong..."
