The Pirate Who Could See Proficiency Became a Legend

"I'm not certain of their exact whereabouts, but I can confirm that Riku Doldo isn't dead, and your brother-in-law is still alive. For now, I can't say where they are."

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Hearing that her father was alive, Viola wept with joy. He was the person closest to her, and she still remembered how sweet life had been when he was around.

Once Viola had calmed down, Dongze spoke again. "There's one more thing."

Viola turned to him. "What is it?"

"Does Dressrosa Kingdom have a Poneglyph?"

"A Poneglyph?"

Robin's eyes narrowed. She said nothing. She hadn't expected Dongze to ask about that. Silently, she picked up the coffee before her and took a small sip, then let her gaze settle on Viola without drawing attention.

Viola froze at Dongze's question. Poneglyphs were forbidden by the World Government, which had always banned the spread of information about them.

She gave Dongze a puzzled look. He was a Shichibukai. Wouldn't investigating something like this alarm the World Government? But she kept the question to herself. The fact that she had survived safely under Doflamingo said plenty about how clever she was.

Even the deal she had struck with Dongze today was only verbal. They had signed no contract. If Dongze failed to grant her wish, the deal would amount to nothing.

After thinking for a moment, Viola said, "I don't know. I don't remember there being one. But Dressrosa Kingdom has existed for a long time. My father might know something."

Dongze studied her again. She had chosen her words carefully, and everything she had said was true.

If he insisted on finding out whether Dressrosa had a Poneglyph, he would have to help her find Riku Doldo first.

But Dongze only needed ten, not every Poneglyph in the world.
