There's a problem here.
Robin strode forward, gently placing his fair palm on the cold, heavy stone wall, and slowly exerted his strength.
Click--
A sharp, crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out, and the camouflage layer of stone peeled off and crumbled to the ground.
A massive, incredibly thick stone barrier slowly slid inward, revealing the hidden layer behind the stone wall to everyone.
In the very center of the mezzanine, a massive Road Poneglyph stele stands silently.
This stone tablet far surpassed any Poneglyph they had ever seen before; its entire surface was crimson, like refined blood jade, and its surface was engraved with dense, intricate ancient characters.
Adorned with countless obscure and mysterious ancient totems, a faint light flows between the patterns.
What greets you is an ancient, desolate, and mysterious atmosphere that has been accumulated over eight hundred years.
The crowd quickly gathered around, their eyes fixed on the unique, giant stone tablet, their breathing unconsciously slowing down.
Robin raised his hand and gently brushed across the cool surface of the monument, his fingertips tracing the ancient characters one by one, his expression gradually becoming solemn and dignified.
"This stone tablet records the complete official history that has been completely erased."
She looked up at the crowd, her tone extremely solemn:
From the arrival of the Ancient Moon People in the Blue Sea and the subsequent division of their races, to Davy Jones establishing Great Kingdom, the betrayal and rebellion of the Twenty Kings, and then to the establishment of the World Government...
All the secrets of the past that were deliberately erased over the past eight hundred years are engraved here.
It also records the entire plan and actions that no one knew after Joy Boy's defeat.
The atmosphere inside the hall instantly plummeted to freezing point.
Everyone knew in their hearts that what truly crushed eight hundred years of dark rule was...
The ultimate secret, powerful enough to overturn the entire world order, is finally about to be unveiled.
The faint light on the crimson stone tablet slowly shifted, and tiny rays of light lingered around the inscription.
With Robin's detailed interpretation, the ancient and obscure texts shed their age-old dust, revealing a dark history buried for eight hundred years, a history that could overturn conventional understanding, in its entirety before everyone's eyes.
"The war of the gods has ended, Davy Jones has been defeated and died, and the Great Kingdom has collapsed."
After the twenty kings who joined forces in rebellion established the World Government, they did not restrain their ambitions or bring peace to the world.
Robin's voice was calm yet deep, each word clearly reaching everyone's ears, carrying a chill that seemed to penetrate the years.
Everyone in the room held their breath, their minds tense, listening intently to this top-secret, forbidden story.
The inscription on the stone tablet clearly records the long-forgotten truth:
After Joy Boy led the remaining forces of the Great Kingdom to a safe retreat, he never abandoned his original intention to overthrow the hypocritical rule and save the people.
He lay dormant in various parts of the Four Blues, gathering all the righteous forces that refused to submit to the World Government, and formed an alliance several times to launch a fierce counterattack on the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
At that time, the World Government had just been established and faced with Joy Boy's unstoppable offensive, it was repeatedly on the verge of destruction and collapse.
However, the twenty founding kings were ambitious and ruthless, and they quickly found an evil shortcut to consolidate their rule and rapidly expand their power.
Taking advantage of the chaotic opportunity presented by the end of the God War and the proliferation of Devil Fruit in the world,
The newly formed World Government began a frenzied manhunt for ability users from all over the world.
They wantonly harvest newly born Devil Fruit from the world and devote the entire nation's resources to researching the original power of Devil Fruit and their ultimate development methods.
They relied on the advanced ancient technology left behind by the Ancient Moon People, combined with the special abilities of Devil Fruit.
They slaughtered countless lives, conducted forbidden human experiments, and seized control of the vast majority of the world's most powerful fruits.
In just a few years, the overall combat power of World Government has increased several times over, completely stabilizing the turbulent situation.
They repeatedly defeated Joy Boy's counter-offensive armies, consolidating their dark rule.
Even with the power to control the world's most extreme forces, he still could not satisfy the greed and desires of the twenty kings.
They feared the passage of time, the aging of their youth, and the inevitable loss of their supreme power.
They fear even more that after their death, they will lose everything they have plundered in their lives.
Immortality thus became the most obsessive and insane ultimate goal of these dictators.
To achieve their ambition of eternal power, they did not hesitate to violate worldly taboos.
This initiated a dark ritual of immortality that extinguished humanity and brought calamity for eight hundred years.
"After countless cruel experiments, the Twenty Kings successfully discovered the secret to achieving immortality."
Robin's tone grew colder, his eyes filled with a chilling intensity:
"The secret technique of immortality modification of the Op-Op Fruit, the body fusion ability of the Munch-Munch Fruit, and the soul binding law of the Array-Array Fruit complement each other and rely on each other."
Then, they incorporated the earth's primal power that they had forcibly stolen from the severely injured Davy Jones.
This would allow them to forge a perfect, indestructible, immortal divine body, enabling twenty kings to share in eternal life and rule this land forever.
Upon hearing this, everyone was shaken to their core, a chill running through them as they found it hard to believe such insane ambition.
Sanji's eyes and brows were icy, his tone filled with utter disgust:
"Based on the three top-tier fruits, we steal the essence of the gods to create collective immortality."
These guys are so greedy and cruel, it's utterly hopeless!
"All the preliminary steps of this forbidden ritual were successfully completed."
Robin nodded and continued to interpret the inscription:
"The twenty kings, with the power of the Munch-Munch Fruit, completely merged their bodies;
Then, using the core power of the Array-Array Fruit, the souls of the twenty people are firmly bound together, achieving symbiosis of souls and sharing of fortune and misfortune;
Finally, the Devil Fruit User will perform the ultimate immortality technique. Only the final step of solidifying the array is needed to achieve collective immortality that will last for eternity.
At this critical juncture that was about to overturn the world order, an accident completely rewrote eight hundred years of history.
One of the Twenty Kings, Neferutari Lily, the ancestor of Alabasta, suddenly realized her mistake and resolutely repented.
Throughout the entire ceremony, the other nineteen kings did not hesitate to slaughter millions of ordinary people and enslave various weaker races.
Countless lives were sacrificed as nourishment, which is how countless Devil Fruit were born.
Having witnessed this inhumane massacre and sacrifice, Lily completely saw through her companions' brutal, bloodthirsty, and insatiably greedy nature.
Her initial resistance against divine authority and participation in the rebellion were aimed at overthrowing oppressive rule and establishing New World.
In the end, however, they only inadvertently gave rise to an even darker and more brutal dictatorship.
Unable to bear the continued suffering of the people, and unwilling to become an eternal puppet, burdened with eternal infamy, and a sinner who wreaks havoc on the world,
At the very last moment before the ritual concluded, Nefertari Lily forcibly severed the power array of the Array-Array Fruit, completely withdrawing from this heinous ritual of immortality.
After that, she led the entire Nefertari Family away from the center of power, Mary Geoise, and established a new kingdom in Alabasta.
Lily's defection caused the immortality ritual, which had been in preparation for years and had consumed countless resources and lives, to completely collapse, leaving an irreparable and fatal flaw.
Even with the ritual incomplete, the remaining nineteen kings still relied on their remaining strength.
They forcibly achieved immortality, but at an extremely high cost.
Robin solemnly reveals the final outcome, exposing the hidden constraints of eight hundred years:
Their bodies were completely trapped in a state of slumber, never able to leave the core of the Mary Geoise Sanctuary.
He was imprisoned at the top of the Red Line for eight hundred years, like a prisoner, never to be free.
