"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, hailed as the strongest Logia-type Devil Fruit, had not appeared on the seas for over a century. So it had been hidden in the sky islands."
"And there was also the Golden City of Shandora from eight hundred years ago!"
"Why would the historical text recording the whereabouts of Poseidon be on a sky island?"
"It seemed we had to make a trip to the sky islands!"
After Sumer pointed out their abilities one by one, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro and the others fell silent for a moment before returning to the main subject.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, the Golden City of Shandora, and the whereabouts of Poseidon could not be left out on the seas.
They had to be controlled by the World Government.
Besides, just as Sumer had said, whether it was true or false would become clear after a trip to the sky islands.
"Since you know every plotline, then you should know Poseidon's true whereabouts, not merely the historical text that records its location, correct?"
Stare~
Manmayer Gunko kept staring intently at Sumer. For some reason, she simply could not stand the sight of him.
Not only was he greedy for life and afraid of death, he was also incredibly good at sucking up—
This time,
Even Saint Nerona Imu turned around to look at Sumer!
The so-called Rumble-Rumble Fruit user and the Golden City of Shandora had not caught his attention.
But the ancient weapons were different.
Especially Poseidon!
A power capable of destroying the world and even overturning his rule had to be kept in his own hands.
The mermaid princess Poseidon from eight hundred years ago had caused him no small amount of trouble.
The moment Saint Nerona Imu thought of that damned mermaid, his face darkened.
Eight hundred years had passed.
The facts proved that he had been right, and Joy Boy had been wrong.
"That damned Manmayer Gunko."
When Saint Nerona Imu turned to look at him as well, Sumer's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly, he cursed Manmayer Gunko to death.
Did that exhibitionist woman who wore nothing but underwear have some kind of grudge against him?
She had targeted him many times already.
And she looked at him as though he were trash.
He had originally planned to muddle through this, then secretly take control of Shirahoshi in the future and use her to turn things around.
Well, that plan was ruined now.
He could only tell the truth.
It was still his own fault for overlooking something despite all his caution.
If he had known, he would not have revealed the historical text of Poseidon or the sky islands. He would have skipped straight to the Enies Lobby Arc.
But that did not seem possible either.
Because Saint Nerona Imu, the Five Elders, and the others would sooner or later think of the ancient weapons. When they questioned him then, he would still have no choice but to answer.
And he could not lie.
Although Saint Nerona Imu could not read his memories or thoughts, he seemed capable of seeing through a lie at a glance.
Or rather, many experienced people, or those with particularly powerful presences, could easily tell whether someone was lying.
Because Observation Haki was a bug.
Anyone with powerful Observation Haki could surely sense heartbeats, blood flow, and microexpressions.
Unless he possessed acting skills worthy of an award-winning actor and could freely control his body, it would be impossible to conceal the truth successfully.
One wrong step led to more wrong steps.
To ensure there were no mistakes,
He could only tell the truth now. He absolutely could not take risks, or his life would be in danger!
"The current Poseidon is Princess Shirahoshi of the Ryugu Kingdom on Fish-Man Island. She simply has not yet awakened the 'Poseidon' ability to communicate with Sea Kings."
"You mean Poseidon is a living being? A fish?"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter raised a brow, clearly shocked.
"Yes. It is said that she is a mermaid whose beauty can rival Boa Hancock, the world's most beautiful woman and Pirate Empress."
Sumer nodded.
"Whether that is true can wait. We will know once we visit Fish-Man Island in the future. I assume you also know the whereabouts of Pluton!"
Manmayer Gunko crossed her arms. Her narrow, two-toned eyes curved as if to say that she would be watching him at all times.
Every word and gesture was a warning.
Her Observation Haki had also been covering Sumer the entire time, though she had not discovered anything so far.
"I know."
"The blueprints for the Pluton they are searching for are in Water 7. As for the real Pluton itself, it is buried in the ruins of Wano Country from eight hundred years ago."
Sumer had figured it out. This underwear-clad exhibitionist was a deranged lunatic.
For no reason at all, she disliked him, and now she wanted to squeeze him dry in one go.
Since that was the case, he could not even be bothered waiting for her to continue questioning him. He directly spilled every bit of information he knew about Pluton.
"You truly know everything."
Saint Topman Warcury's voice was heavy. The other party even knew they were searching for Pluton's blueprints.
Could it be that their world truly was nothing more than a manga world, and that they themselves were merely manga characters?
Villains destined for unhappy endings?
"One Piece was still ongoing before I transmigrated, so I only know the plotlines that had already been published. I do not know anything that had yet to be published."
"The Pluton blueprints you are searching for are in the hands of Franky, Tom's other disciple."
"CP9 had been only one step away from obtaining them, but unfortunately, they were defeated by the Straw Hat crew. Franky later became a member of the Straw Hat Pirates."
"The story is currently at the Alabasta Arc. Crocodile is an elite villain destined to be defeated by the protagonist. Next comes the Sky Island Arc, where the elite villain is Enel, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit user."
"Then comes the Enies Lobby Arc, where the villains are CP9 led by Rob Lucci."
Sumer was like a spoiler machine without emotions. The more he said, the more he could prove himself.
"Mu is very interested in the plot to come. Continue—"
Learning the whereabouts of Poseidon and Pluton in succession improved Saint Nerona Imu's mood considerably.
"Yes, Lord Imu!"
Seeing that Saint Nerona Imu was interested, Sumer immediately changed his expression, his face filling with smiles.
This drew another burst of contempt from Manmayer Gunko.
"After the Enies Lobby Arc comes the Thriller Bark Arc. The elite villain is Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"After defeating Gecko Moria, the Straw Hat crew will arrive at the Sabaody Archipelago. By then, they will have become members of the Worst Generation."
"Next comes the Marineford War. Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach, will capture Portgas D. Ace, the son of Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and hand him over to the Marines, thus beginning his ambition to seize the world."
"Oh, right."
"Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach's real name is David D. Teach. His biological father is David D. Xebec, also known as Rocks D. Xebec. I believe you are all familiar with him, so I will not elaborate."
Sumer spoke without pause. Since he had already powered up Luffy, it was perfectly reasonable to power up Blackbeard too.
Perhaps,
With this push from him, Luffy, as the protagonist, and Blackbeard, as a great schemer and perhaps even the final villain, might receive a boost and possibly defeat Saint Nerona Imu.
As far as he knew, protagonists and major villains with plenty of screen time were hard to kill. They all had protagonist halos and villain halos.
"After the Marineford War, Whitebeard dies, and the Straw Hat crew trains for two years. Two years later comes the Fish-Man Island Arc. There are no major villains in that arc, only a bunch of minor Fish-Men used by the Straw Hat crew to show off."
"After leaving Fish-Man Island comes the Dressrosa Arc."
"That's right. This time, the elite villain is Donquixote Doflamingo, the man whose Celestial Dragon status you stripped away before expelling him from Mary Geoise—"
"After defeating Doflamingo, the Straw Hat crew lands on Zou, the island on Zunesha's back, and meets the Mink Tribe."
"They then invade Totto Land, the territory of Emperor Charlotte Linlin, make rubbings of the red Road Poneglyph, and are pursued by Charlotte Linlin."
"Next, they arrive in Wano Country and clash with the Beasts Pirates, one of the Four Emperors' crews."
"The Straw Hat crew joins forces with two other captains of the Worst Generation, Eustass Kid and the Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law, to defeat Kaido and Charlotte Linlin."
"During that battle, Monkey D. Luffy awakens his Devil Fruit and transforms into the Sun God Nika!"
"From that point onward, Monkey D. Luffy becomes one of the Four Emperors."
"After becoming one of the Four Emperors, the Straw Hat crew lands on the futuristic island Egghead. Since they have already become a grave threat to the World Government's rule, Saint Saturn personally takes action alongside Marine Admiral Kizaru."
At that point,
Sumer looked at the several people whose expressions kept changing. Only Saint Nerona Imu remained calm.
Only those spiral-patterned eyes, which carried an overwhelming sense of suffocation, showed faint ripples.
As for Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro and the other five, their faces had not stopped alternating between pale and flushed.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Seeing Sumer staring at him with a strange expression, Saint Saturn, who had been putting on a profound air while forcibly suppressing the countless questions in his heart, inexplicably darkened.
He had a bad feeling about this.
"The facts prove that the protagonist is still the protagonist. He is not so easily defeated—"
"You and Kizaru fail to capture him. Because of your incompetence, you receive Lord Imu's punishment, and Saint Figarland Garling replaces you as one of the new Five Elders."
The garden fell silent.
Saint Saturn could not hold it together anymore.
His position as one of the Five Elders was replaced by Saint Figarland Garling?
Did that not mean he was dead?
"Lord Imu!!!"
With a thud,
Saint Saturn dropped heavily to his knees, pressing his forehead tightly against the grass as beads of cold sweat seeped from his brow.
He would be dealt with by Lord Imu after just one failure?
Actually,
He still half believed and half doubted Sumer's words, because Sumer currently had no evidence to prove himself.
But now that it had come to this, he had to believe it even if he did not want to.
This concerned his life. There could not be the slightest carelessness. Even if it was false, he had to prepare for the worst and plead for mercy first.
