"Perhaps it really was luck! Or perhaps it was fate; our meeting was destined!"
Vic didn't say much. He wasn't originally from this world, and Olvia would most likely die in Ohara's Buster Call. His arrival changed many things, making it hard for him not to think about the word "fate." But fate was too ethereal and inexplicable!
Vic didn't say anything more, casually picked up a scroll of paper, opened it, and began to read. It was the Alabasta section, and Vic quickly began to read it.
The Poneglyph is only a small section, and it doesn't contain much information. It briefly introduces the Ancient Weapon Pluton, its power, and its Pluton.
The location of Pluton was recorded in two ways: one is the name Wano Country, which has been passed down through generations, and the other is coordinates. It is estimated that the person who left this information was afraid that Wano Country would be destroyed by the World Government, or that it would be forcibly renamed for some reason. That is why coordinates are such an unalterable method. Apart from this, there are no historical records about eight hundred years ago.
Vic rolled up the paper containing the record of Pluton and placed it on the table. He then picked up another scroll. On the other side, Olvia's eyes widened and her body was trembling. Vic didn't know what astonishing record she had seen that made her so excited. He opened the scroll in his hand.
What Olvia saw was the Poneglyph of Poseidon. The Ohara really only wanted to study history through Poneglyph would actually contain information about Ancient Weapon.
This reminded her of the accusations the World Government had leveled against them, claiming they wanted to awaken the Ancient Weapon to bring disaster to the world. Now that she had actually witnessed such history, how could she remain silent? Was the World Government truly without fault? Was Ohara the one at fault?
No! Olvia shook her head, trying to shake this terrible thought out of her mind. They were not wrong, and Ohara was even less wrong. They were really just pursuing the history of the Void Century. Even if they knew about the existence of Ancient Weapon, they wouldn't be interested. It was the World Government that maliciously speculated about them and issued such a cruel Buster Call. This was unforgivable, and she could never forgive the World Government in her lifetime.
The second Poneglyph that Vic looked at was the one guarded by the giant robot. It didn't record locations or weapons, nor did it record history or the deeds of people. Instead, it recorded an unknown energy source.
This energy source is the exclusive energy that powers Pluton and the giant robots. Vic had never heard of this energy source before, but without it, Pluton would be useless, and the legendary weapon that could sink an island with a single shot would become a mere decoration.
As for how powerful this giant robot would become after it had energy, Vic didn't know. However, the Poneglyph recorded that a ball of this energy remained inside the giant robot that guarded the Poneglyph. If they wanted to activate Pluton and the giant robot at any time, they would need to produce this energy. The ball of energy inside the giant robot could be used for research. This was the second function of the giant robot guarding that place.
Seeing that Pluton's energy source still needed research and manufacturing, Vic thought of Vegapunk. Wasn't this exactly Old Bei's area of expertise? And he had all the necessary equipment.
However, this is definitely not something that can be done at the moment. Who knows how many surveillance cameras are watching him from Vegapunk's side? Only by eliminating the hidden dangers can he be allowed to conduct his research. Vic kept this in mind, as it was an important matter to be handled in the future. The final battle would be inseparable from the participation of the Ancient Weapon.
After reading the Poneglyph, Vic fell into deep thought. At the same time, Olvia put down the Poneglyph about Poseidon and picked up another one. This one was also about the mermaid princess Poseidon, but it was an apology written to the mermaid princess by a man named Joy Boy.
The text states that Joy Boy lost to a man named Mu due to his own reasons and was unable to fulfill his promise to the Fish-Man Race. However, he advised the mermaid princess not to lose heart and to remain in hiding. He left some contingency plans, and one day in the future, the person whose name contains the letter D will surely fulfill his promise and liberate the entire Fish-Man Race.
Olvia was curious about the names Joy Boy and Mu, which appeared for the first time in the Poneglyph Poneglyph. She was also curious about the promise between Joy Boy and the Little Mermaid. What kind of promise would make Joy Boy waste such a peculiar stone to leave an apology?
What exactly happened back then? The Void Century reveals only the tip of the Iceburg, Olvia eagerly picked up another page of the Poneglyph to read it.
Vic quickly saw the last scroll, which was the Poneglyph from his Dimensional Ring. He had already read the apologies from Poseidon and Joy Boy, and there was nothing unexpected in it.
The last Poneglyph also records coordinates, but in more detail than those for Wano Country, with several reference points. However, it doesn't describe what's at this location, only leaving behind a few obscure riddles. "An island in the wind, a mirror on the island, a tree in the mirror, and a god within the tree!"
The first two sentences are easy to understand: there is an island that is always in the wind, and this island is at the coordinates recorded in the Poneglyph. There is also a mirror on the island. It is just unknown whether this is an uninhabited island or an inhabited island.
If it's an uninhabited island, where would the mirror come from? If it's an inhabited island, there would be plenty of mirrors. But the last two sentences are a bit obscure. Why is there a tree in the mirror? Is it a tree reflected in the mirror? Isn't it just a tree next to the mirror?
Or is this mirror a "realm"? A "realm" in "secret realm"? Is there a secret realm on the island, like Rainbow Mist? A hidden entrance like a mirror, and is this tree inside that secret realm?
What about the final transformation of a god within a tree? That statement has a somewhat fantastical feel to it! Does this world truly have gods? Is it that mysterious black-robed figure floating in mid-air? Or is it the King of the World, Imu? Is it only by becoming a god that one can fight against Imu?
Those few words made Vic think a great deal. What exactly is a god? Is it a realm related to strength or a symbol of status?
"It seems I need to go check out this island; perhaps it will open a door to New World for me!"
After a moment of contemplation, Vic thought to himself that although he had cultivated for two years, there was still a considerable gap between him and the mysterious man in black robes. Even with Advanced Geppo and Shave techniques, he still couldn't levitate.
Furthermore, he still couldn't understand the black-robed man's methods. If there really was such a realm as God, compared to Imu, who hadn't even made a move, the black-robed man seemed more like a god to him!
There's also the image he saw on the Red Line. Those people floating in mid-air in it might also be at the god level. Although they look like Awakening ability users, Vic had never heard of Devil Fruit Awakening awakened.
It's normal that we can't see much from those few people's performances, but just considering the technique of levitation, he's only seen the black-robed man use it in reality. There must be some secret he doesn't know about, so Vic has to go to the address recorded in the Poneglyph.
While Vic pondered for a long time, Olvia on the other side looked slightly disappointed. She had also finished reading all the Poneglyph, but there wasn't much of the Poneglyph content recorded in them!
Two of the texts record Ancient Weapon, another records the energy sources used in those Ancient Weapon, there's an apology, and a bunch of random coordinates. If the Poneglyph are full of these things, what's the point of researching the history of the Void Century? Poneglyph are already scarce; if they're filled with nonsensical things, what kind of Poneglyph are they?
