"Sea levels kept rising!?"
Professor Olvia's words left Dragon and Shanks somewhat confused.
Although both men were outstanding in terms of strength and strategy, talking to them about science was probably a little like playing the lute to a cow.
Seeing this, Professor Olvia thought for a moment before putting it another way.
"Let me put it this way. If nothing is done, then in less than a thousand years, every piece of land and every island in these seas, except the Red Line, will be submerged!"
This time, the two men finally understood.
"Isn't that a little too exaggerated?"
Dragon asked doubtfully. A thousand years sounded like a long time, but in reality, it was only a dozen or so generations. Wasn't Professor Olvia saying that a thousand years from now, the entire world apart from the Red Line would be destroyed?
As if she knew what Dragon was thinking, Professor Olvia smiled faintly.

Those contradictory words left Dragon and Shanks puzzled.
"Why?"
Professor Olvia did not waste time with unnecessary words.
"It's simple. That's assuming nothing is done. Based on our exploration of the Poneglyphs and ancient ruins, we discovered that this world has a unique system capable of preventing such a thing from happening."

Shanks shook his head and spoke as he recalled the past.
"Unfortunately, because of certain special circumstances, I chose to leave the ship halfway there."
"That really is a shame. In that case, let me ask a different question."
As she spoke, Professor Olvia
