I Want to See the Poneglyphs

Nico Olvia pointed at Lin Yan and said.

"Um?"

Dr. Clover was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked in the direction Nico Olvia indicated, then immediately frowned.

What the heck is this highly suspicious-looking guy?

It's perfectly understandable that he would have such thoughts.

After all, Lin Yan is currently in a state of Faceless Appearance.

Not only did he appear completely black, hidden under a black cloak and blending into the shadows, but his aura also suggested he was no ordinary person.

"Young man, may I ask who you are?"

Realizing that Lin Yan was no ordinary person, Dr. Clover couldn't help but show a hint of caution in his eyes and asked softly.

"Just a passerby, but there's something about Ohara that interests me."

Lin Yan casually brushed it off.

"..."

Dr. Clover's brow furrowed even deeper.

Keep in mind that they were conducting research that could cost them their lives at any moment, and just at this crucial time, such a mysterious figure appeared before them.

To be honest, Dr. Clover really wanted to ignore Lin Yan.

But Nico Olvia was also there.

Therefore, after hesitating for quite some time, Dr. Clover finally nodded reluctantly.

"This isn't the place to talk, young man. Come inside and let's talk."

Upon hearing this, Nico Olvia breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly gave Lin Yan a wink, then followed Dr. Clover's lead.

Lin Yan shrugged, seemingly unconvinced.

Dr. Clover's wariness is somewhat amusing.

It's as if you can really prevent being spied on...

Despite saying that, Lin Yan didn't say anything, and soon she and the two of them arrived at the depths of the Tree of Knowledge.

"Alright, young man, who exactly are you?" (33novel. com)

Looking at the composed Lin Yan, Dr. Clover finally couldn't help but ask a question.

Although he trusted Nico Olvia very much.

But the person in front of me is just too mysterious.

Lin Yan's appearance gave Dr. Clover a rather bad feeling.

After all, if one is not careful, the price to pay could be the destruction of Ohara, a fact that Dr. Clover is well aware of.

Are all scholars like this?

However, Lin Yan did not answer Dr. Clover's question immediately.

Instead, she looked at the man in front of her with a half-smile.

"To risk your lives for knowledge that may or may not be true, frankly, I have some respect for you..."

"..."

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words...

Dr. Clover broke out in a cold sweat.

But he still tried to remain calm.

"Young man, I don't know what you're talking about."

Lin Yan simply shrugged.

"Well, it was bound to be exposed sooner or later anyway. Based on my understanding of those guys in the World Government, they would never let go of those who researched the Void Century. In my opinion, you're just courting death."

As she spoke, Lin Yan paused slightly.

"With Ohara's fighting strength, any Admiral- level expert could easily slaughter you all, right?"

"..."

Dr. Clover began to break out in a cold sweat, beads of sweat dripping down his back.

Without a doubt.

This guy in front of me knows everything!

Could it have been Nico Olvia who told him?

Was Ohara betrayed?

But what did he mean by what he said earlier?

For a moment, Dr. Clover's mind was completely blank, while Nico Olvia on the other side couldn't help but glare at Lin Yan reproachfully.

Is it fun to scare old people?

Although the woman didn't say it explicitly, her eyes clearly conveyed that meaning.

Lin Yan gave a heartless laugh.

"Alright, don't be nervous. The fact that I'm willing to talk to you like this means that I'm not Ohara's enemy yet. Otherwise, with me standing here, none of you would be able to escape today."

Lin Yan said this with great confidence.

As the fifth emperor of the seas, destroying Ohara was far too easy for him.

"..."

Dr. Clover fell silent again, glancing inquiringly at Nico Olvia to the side.

The woman nodded slightly.

The creature before them was a monster capable of cleaving the ocean in two with a single strike; it was definitely not something that a mere Ohara could withstand.

But at the same time...

This man's existence was almost Ohara's only way to survive.

"Okay, you win."

Seeing Nico Olvia nod, Dr. Clover finally sighed, looking as if he had aged considerably in an instant, and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want from Ohara?"

Circumstances are beyond our control.

Even as one of the world's top scholars.

With Ohara facing a life-or-death situation, Dr. Clover had no choice but to compromise.

The conditions for refusing a strong person are terrible, but the price to pay for refusing a monster is even more unbearable for Ohara.

Dr. Clover understands this basic principle.

And so that's the end of it.

The negotiations were successful.

Seeing that Dr. Clover was so sensible, Lin Yan felt a little embarrassed, smiled slightly, and then spoke directly.

"To be honest, I have no interest in the truths you scholars seek, but for some reason, I need to know the truth."

As she spoke, Lin Yan paused slightly.

"There should be a piece of Poneglyphs in the basement of this Tree of Knowledge, right? How much have you translated so far?"

"..."

really.

This mysterious man knew everything from the very beginning.

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Dr. Clover knew he couldn't refuse and could only nod helplessly.

"There is indeed Poneglyphs, but we have only just begun to decipher it. The current progress is not something we can share with others. Besides, young man, you are not a scholar, are you?"

Dr. Clover spoke quite frankly.

He didn't lie.

At this point in time, Ohara had only just begun researching the Void Century and was far from reaching the level it had during the Buster Call.

Even Olvia had only been at sea for a short time.

Lin Yan wasn't surprised at all by this.

"Alright, in that case, take me there to have a look first."

Lin Yan said this very casually.

Come to think of it, he had never actually seen the Poneglyphs with his own eyes, although he had had countless opportunities to do so in Alabasta and Fish-Man Island.

However, Lin Yan had never been particularly interested in this thing; it was only now that the Time Train was reacting that Lin Yan curiosity was piqued.

Dr. Clover did not refuse, but simply nodded slightly.

"Follow me."
