Sleepy Ancient Town, a Legend

As the sun set, a night had passed since Ye Chen arrived in Ohara. Ye Chen had spent the Tree of Knowledge, patiently reading numerous documents and Ye Chen about Devil Fruit.

As for Bai Doudou, he's long since disappeared. For him, something as tedious as reading is more terrifying than death.

The next day, at some unknown time, a girl of about seven or eight years old appeared not far from Ye Chen. She first glanced at Ye Chen with some confusion, then picked up a book and quietly began to read.

When the girl appeared, Ye Chen only glanced at her indifferently. As expected, this should be Nico Robin, a pitiful person who was cruelly abandoned by her parents.

Without the slightest ripple, they were completely irrelevant to Ye Chen. Right now, even if the Straw Hat Pirates stood in front of him, he would kill them without hesitation if they provoked him. As for the so-called idol worship and idol worship, don't be ridiculous.

For a time, the two of them, one adult and one child, sat silently reading in the spacious library, not uttering a single word all morning.

"Sleepy Ancient Town?"

Finally, Ye Chen found a book that described a magical town. What caught Ye Chen's attention was that the story reminded him of Mythical Zoan -type Devil Fruit in Vampire Form.

Sleepy Ancient Town, a mysterious island shrouded in thick fog year-round, is silent and shrouded in mist, like a world of mystery. Legend has it that in a very, very long time ago, a monster that lived by drinking blood appeared there.

This monster, with its grotesque appearance, was shrouded in a blood mist and was growing younger while the animals it fed on aged.

Ye Chen was engrossed in watching; he was 40% certain that this place held what he wanted. Unbeknownst to him, the girl was no longer in the library.

Then came the appearance of Dr. Clover and his group, and the entire quiet library suddenly came alive.

"You've been watching it all night, haven't you had enough yet?"

Outside the door, Bai Doudou was eating skewers and tossed a bag to Ye Chen, saying, "The food on this island is pretty good."

"Where did you go last night?" As Ye Chen flipped through the pages, he looked up at Bai Doudou and was slightly taken aback. All the jewelry on this guy's body had disappeared. He had become rich overnight yesterday, but just one night later, he was penniless.

Given this guy's greed, no one could possibly rob him; in other words, it was his own choice!

"No, I didn't go there." Whistling, the guy sat in the chair, not daring to look at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen tapped the table with one hand, realizing something was amiss.

"Do you think I believe that? I've always had a question: even with a good family background, you have 100 million Beli. Given your greedy nature, how did you manage to squander it all? I just can't figure it out."

Looking at this goofball with amusement, Ye Chen's gaze was like a knife, peeling away every last bit of Bai Doudou.

"I told you everything, those Beli disappeared on their own." Bai Doudou said with her arms crossed, quite self-righteously.

Ye Chen sneered.

"You robbed the rich to help the poor?"

"You guess."

"Bai Doudou, you'd better tell the truth, or maybe I'll go easy on you." Finally, Ye Chen threatened her directly.

"It's just a gamble, what's the problem?" With his neck straightened, Bai Doudou's hair stood on end, ready to retaliate, run away, or hurl insults at any moment. He was sure he could execute all three actions in one smooth motion.

Ye Chen's eyebrows twitched. "When did you learn to gamble?"

Good heavens, no wonder he was penniless overnight; he went gambling.

"Right where you left the Navy, there was something really interesting between us. Since I started dominating the gambling city, I haven't won a single time." Bai Doudou suddenly became a chatterbox, talking non-stop.

"One hundred million in capital, and not a single win?" Ye Chen twitched his lips.

"Yeah, what's wrong with that? Don't you know there's a thrill called all-in poker?" Bai Doudou looked at Ye Chen with disdain, picking her nose as if he were a country bumpkin, and exuded a sense of superiority.

"Last night, thanks to my excellent sense of smell, I found the casino on this island. As soon as I got on stage, I went all in with all my treasures, attracting a huge crowd. Unfortunately, I still lost in the end."

Her ears immediately deflated, and Bai Doudou became completely negative, her spirits utterly low.

"Going all in right away?" Rubbing his forehead, Ye Chen finally understood. If things continued like this, no matter how much wealth he had, this guy could squander it all in one fell swoop, leaving him back to square one.

"Yeah, it's all about the thrill."

"Going all in for a single bet only takes a few minutes, so what do you do all night?"

"I'm watching others gamble, learning from their experience. Rabbit Lord 'm determined to become the God of Gamblers!" Radiating an awe-inspiring aura, Bai Doudou looked on with longing.

"You have such good gambling etiquette?" Ye Chen looked at Bai Doudou with a strange expression.

"Smack!"

Bai Doudou slammed her hand on the table, her eyes blazing with anger. "Are you questioning my gambling integrity? Let me tell you, I, Rabbit Lord, am a man of principle, willing to accept defeat. You're defiling my soul!"

"Sit down. You've squandered my entire fortune, and you still act so self-righteous? Who gave you the courage?"

His face darkened, and Ye Chen's expression turned dangerous. He had lost all hope in this foolish rabbit.

"Tch." He plopped down, crossed his legs, and showed no remorse whatsoever.

Just then, a disheveled woman walked in, panting heavily, through the library entrance.

With long white hair and a coat draped over her shoulders, she exuded an intellectual and mature aura, and her face was also exceptionally beautiful.

"Olvia."

The woman's appearance drew the attention of Clover and the other doctors.

"Dr. Clover, everyone run! World Government ships will be arriving in Ohara soon. Our research has already attracted their attention." The woman called Olvia looked anxious and full of self-reproach.

"Olvia, we already knew, but this place is a treasure for all mankind, we can't leave."

Dr. Clover

"Olvia, you should go check on Robin!"

"Robin"

""

After the woman appeared, Ye Chen glanced up at her, then lowered his head again to continue flipping through other special books.

Several tens of minutes later, a group of armed men dressed in black stormed into the gate; they appeared to be from the World Government.

Ye Chen also recognized the leader, P9 Commander Spandine.

"Ohara scholars, you have violated the World Government's ban. Now you are to be inspected. One by one, come here."

Somewhat arrogantly, Spandine directed his men to escort the scholars one by one.

"Stand up."

Two black gun barrels were pointed at Ye Chen and Bai Doudou, and someone shouted sharply.

"Smacking" as she munched on a carrot, Bai Doudou stared at the gun barrel on her forehead, glaring, and righteously threatened, "You better watch out, if you mess up Rabbit Lord's hairstyle, I'll kill you."

"Oh ho, a rabbit, daring to threaten our P9? You're asking for death."

"Rabbit?"

Someone who heard this was slightly taken aback, then looked in this direction, and their expression immediately changed.

"Stop." A bead of cold sweat trickled down Spandine he thought, "How did this monster get here?"

"I have seen God!"

Gone was his previous arrogance; Spandine walked up to Ye Chen and greeted him.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Spen, what's your name, Spen?"

Closing the book, Ye Chen couldn't quite recall the guy's name.

Spandine, with a fawning smile, was extremely respectful. "Spandine, the commander of P9, the Vice Admiral general came to P9 to check data last time. Could it be that the Vice Admiral general is also here on a mission?"

"Go find some things related to medicine. You continue with your mission."

Standing up, Ye Chen made up an excuse; he didn't want to be suspected right now.

"Please take care, sir."

Ye Chen didn't linger any longer, because he had already finished reading everything he needed to.

"Sir, that man is God?" Watching Ye Chen's departing figure, Spandine's two lackeys swallowed hard.

"Nonsense, don't you read the news? There's a Rogue Rabbit by God's side, such an obvious sign, can't you see it? Not long ago, this monster arrested the World Destroyer."

"But why would God appear here?"

"Idiot, the Red the Aloof Incident — God almost died saving Fleet Admiral Kong, losing sight in his left eye. He's here now, probably looking for a way to cure his eye. Last time on Enies Lobby, we couldn't find a cure, and Fleet Admiral Kong even scolded me."

"Fleet Admiral Kong? God is getting that much attention?"

"Nonsense, he's a candidate for Admiral now, even the Five Elders are watching him. He'll rise through the ranks quickly, he might even become Fleet Admiral."

"No way!"

"When I reported my mission to the Five Elders last time, I heard one of the Five Elders say that he intended to become the Fleet Admiral during the Sengoku Admiral, and after he stepped down, he would let God succeed him as the next Fleet Admiral."
