Let Me Explain the World's Secrets to You

Chapter 205: Xue Tong, What Are You Laughing At?

"Was what you said a lie?"

Seeing Mu Chen laugh, Crocodile couldn't shake the feeling that he was being fooled. Mu Chen waved a hand and said, "No, no, no. I didn't lie to you. Everything I said was true."

"It's just that..." Mu Chen paused and took a bite of meat, leaving Crocodile frantic. "Just that what?"

"It's just that Ohara was completely wiped out a few days ago. The World Government launched a Buster Call, and I happened to be its commander."

Mu Chen's expression darkened as he spoke.

Ordering the guns to fire on civilians wasn't something Mu Chen could talk about with a smile.

"What did you say?"

Crocodile's expression went through a whole range of emotions. Just like that, his hopes had been shattered.

"So there's no one left who can translate the Poneglyphs?"

Faced with that outcome, Crocodile looked utterly helpless, his face grimmer than if his father had died.

He had finally learned how to become the Pirate King. Mu Chen had given him hope, only to cast him into hell with his own hands!

"You can't say that for sure. What if someone escaped?"

"Or what if someone else knows how?"

"If all else fails, just go snatch someone from Kaido."

Although Mu Chen was telling the truth, Crocodile thought the odds were far too slim.

And even if he found someone who could translate the Poneglyphs, he could tell from what Mu Chen had said about the World Government's treatment of Ohara that it didn't want anyone learning about that period of history. He would become a target they hunted down with everything they had, never mind how difficult it would be to find the Poneglyphs hidden all over the world.
