Molly was startled by the sudden sound behind her, and when she turned around, she saw Zoro looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"Damn Zoro, don't you know you can scare someone to death? You walk without making a sound!"
Zoro looked at his feet that had just touched the floor, his face darkening, and said irritably.
"I just woke up and saw you sneaking around here. I just got out of bed, where am I supposed to walk?!"
Molly blushed, looking at Zoro's innocent expression, and felt a surge of anger. However, thinking of the nautical chart in her hand, she immediately perked up and pulled Zoro aside to ask.
"Where did you get this nautical chart? In my experience, it's absolutely genuine. I've already found the route to Laugh Tale."
Zoro then noticed the nautical chart in Molly's hand, and his heart skipped a beat. He was about to make up an excuse, but he was not good at hiding his feelings, so how could he escape Molly's eyes?
Seeing that Zoro's eyes were somewhat evasive, and recalling what Zoro had been through these past few days, Molly instantly thought of a possibility. She grabbed one of Zoro's arms and asked with a smile.
"Tell me quickly, did Lin Yuan give you this map? Never mind, you don't need to answer. Only Lin Yuan could have this nautical chart."
Zoro, realizing that Molly had seen through him, instantly frowned and said irritably.
"Since you already know, why ask? But don't tell anyone about this yet. Since you can understand it, just write it down for now."
Molly glanced at Zoro with surprise, then instantly understood something, and whispered something to him.
"I understand. After all, we haven't obtained any of the coordinates for the Road Poneglyph Poneglyph, and no one can decipher the text on them."
Molly hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"But why would Lin Yuan give you this nautical chart? Doesn't he want to become the Pirate King?"
"Well!"
"Oh, that's right. With Lin Yuan's strength and status, the mere reputation of a Pirate King holds no appeal for him. Besides, since this nautical chart was made by him, it means he has already quietly made his way to Laugh Tale."
Like a detective uncovering a secret, Molly's eyes gleamed with wisdom as she slowly dissected the secrets behind the nautical chart.
Zoro couldn't get a word in edgewise; he could only manage a soft "uh" before being interrupted by Molly. But he was surprised that Molly's analysis was actually correct.
"Well!!!"
Suddenly, Molly sighed, causing Zoro's forehead veins to bulge again, and he couldn't help but growl.
What's wrong with you now? Why are you sighing?
Molly released Zoro's arm and then looked at the nautical chart in her hand.
"I just feel sorry for Luffy. His dream is to become the Pirate King, but in other people's eyes, he's just something worthless."
"That makes sense. Lin Yuan's strength doesn't require such fame, and he already has so much wealth. The title of Pirate King simply can't attract him."
Zoro fell silent. He knew that Molly was right. When he got the nautical chart, he had asked Lin Yuan about it, but the answer he received was that Kuina and the others had gone to the Laugh Tale.
Moreover, over the years, they have gathered from Four Blues to the first half of the Grand Line, and then dominated the New World. If a Pirate King were to be born, Lin Yuan's women would be the first to achieve that.
However, very few people know about this, except for members of the " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce, and now there is probably one more person who knows.
Zoro didn't want to keep this secret to himself, so since Molly had guessed so much, he simply told her directly.
" Molly, there's something I need to tell you, but you have to promise me you absolutely cannot tell anyone, not even Luffy!"
Seeing Zoro's serious expression, Molly suddenly felt a sense of dread about a terrifying secret, but her curiosity still made her nod in agreement.
"Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell anyone, including Luffy."
Seeing Molly's earnest vow, Zoro instantly breathed a sigh of relief and took a deep breath before speaking.
" Molly, here's the thing: Lin Yuan didn't actually set foot on the Laugh Tale. It wasn't that he couldn't, but that he didn't want to. He's already collected all four Road Poneglyph coordinates."
"Although he didn't go, Kuina and the others have already visited Laugh Tale. As for Lin Yuan, he doesn't care about the so-called Pirate King at all; he wants to overthrow the entire world!"
Although Molly had some suspicions, she was still incredibly shocked after Zoro confirmed it, her beautiful eyes filled with horror.
" Zoro, are you serious? If Lin Yuan wants to emulate the Revolutionary Army and overthrow the World Government, wouldn't that ignite a terrible war in this world?!"
Zoro nodded, then walked to the side, picked up his three swords, and carefully wiped them clean. It was a long time before he finally spoke.
"Indeed, it will be a clash between powerful figures. Even a powerhouse like the Five Emperors could perish. And I have already promised Lin Yuan that I will participate in this battle."
Seeing Zoro's serious expression, Molly was a little at a loss. She had agreed to Luffy to sea with Luffy and Zoro not only because she was an excellent navigator, but also because Molly was forced to join.
Although she really liked the Straw Hat Pirates, she never dared to even think about overthrowing the Celestial Dragons had ruled the world for eight hundred years. She never expected that Zoro would personally go there.
Seeing Molly remain silent, Zoro gave her another instruction.
"I promised Lin Yuan on this, not only for their sake, but also for my own."
Next, Zoro told Molly about the Shodai Kitetsu. Although Molly was shocked, she kept asking questions and gradually pieced together most of what Zoro knew.
That's precisely why Molly's horror intensified, Molly remained in shock even after Zoro finished speaking.
Zoro was mentally prepared for Molly's reaction, after all, he and Molly had been quite similar in the past.
Neither of them spoke, and the room fell silent. A full fifteen minutes passed before Molly came to her senses.
" Zoro, while I acknowledge Lin Yuan's terrifying strength, overthrowing the World Government is far more difficult than becoming the Pirate King."
"Once the war starts, it will not only engulf the entire world, but it will also end with one side being defeated. He is truly confident!"
Zoro sighed. It seemed he couldn't keep the secret he knew any longer; Molly was just too clever.
"I'm telling you..."
A full half hour passed before Molly left Zoro's room, somewhat dazed and confused.
Unbeknownst to her, behind her stood a figure shrouded in a black cloak— Sanji, who had been eavesdropping quietly from the corner.
