Chapter 904 800 Years Ago
" Betty! Chaos has broken out in Mary Geoise. It's estimated that this Reverie will end early. If we want to liberate more countries, we must hurry!"
Seeing that Vic didn't mention the unknown entity Imu, Sabo thought for a moment and then kept quiet. He assumed that with Cobra, an outsider, present, Vic couldn't say much. However, he was certain that he would explain the whole story at the Revolutionary Army cadre meeting later, as this matter was extremely important to the Revolutionary Army!
"Actually, the impact isn't significant. We can proceed according to the original plan. Although some unforeseen events in Mary Geoise might cause the Reverie to end prematurely."
However, it will take some time for Mary Geoise to return to normal, so the World Government can't attend to you for the time being. Notify me if you encounter any troublesome enemies!
Knowing he was involved in this major event in Mary Geoise, Vic could no longer keep a low profile. Even if he wasn't part of the Revolutionary Army Revolutionary Army, Imu and the Five Elders would likely label him as one of them.
Sabo, the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff who was nominally affiliated with the World Government, seemed to be quite familiar with Vic, and later even rescued the Revolutionary Army's commander from a Marine Admiral.
No matter how much he tries to cleanse himself, Vic is in deep trouble. He might as well help the Revolutionary Army eliminate the enemies that the Army Commander can't handle. Even if he doesn't take action, Imu and the Five Elders, once they recover, won't let him off the hook. So he's destined to be busy from now on!
"That's for the best. By the way, Sabo, how's your mission going?"
Bello Betty was unaware of the magnitude of the upheaval in Mary Geoise, but such changes were inevitable when they planned the Mary Geoise, so she wasn't too surprised. As long as it didn't disrupt their subsequent plans, she was more concerned about how the mission to Mary Geoise was progressing.
"On the way here, I received reports that the granaries of the Mary Geoise Lands of the Gods have been burned down, the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon has been seized, and most of the slaves have been successfully freed. The mission has been exceeded. Now it's just a matter of how many countries we can liberate!"
The Revolutionary Army's plan this time wasn't specifically to liberate the slaves in Mary Geoise; that was just one of its objectives. Even the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon, a sinister tool related to slavery, was only one of the targets. The most important task, of course, was to burn down the Celestial Dragons ' granaries!
This is only the first step in the long-term mission. Later, they will specifically target Mary Geoise's supplies, causing those Celestial Dragons to starve to death in their own holy land.
The Revolutionary Army's plan to liberate the Affiliated Nation was a convenient side project, and so far the plan is progressing smoothly; we'll see how it develops!
"Is it really appropriate for you to discuss rebellion in front of the king of World Government Member States?"
Cobra was placed to the side and sitting on the wooden crate, looked speechless. "Can you three please stop talking about overthrowing or liberating people in front of me, the king of Affiliated Nation?"
However, he has now become the king whom the Five Elders want to get rid of, and it's hard to say whether Alabasta will be removed from the World Government's list!
Given the Celestial Dragons ' nature, they might choose Alabasta as the location for the next killing contest. There's also the safety of his daughter, Vivi, which are problems he can't solve. Cobra's heart is filled with bitterness and resentment!
Vic and his two companions didn't talk for long before Bello Betty led most of her people away from the Lulusia Kingdom, heading to the next country.
Sabo stayed behind with Vic, also to ensure that nothing unexpected happened. The three of them had a simple meal, but Sabo had something to take care of and left first, leaving only Vic and Cobra. Vic then found out why Imu wanted to Cobra.
"King Cobra! What did Imu say to you in that room earlier? Why did he have such murderous intent?"
"Cough cough cough! There are several reasons, but in my judgment, the most important reason is that our Queen Lily ultimately sided with Imu's enemies. That's what makes Imu so angry, I can feel it!"
Ahem! 800 years ago, there was an alliance of twenty countries that waged war against a huge nation. In the end, the alliance of twenty countries emerged victorious.
The royal families of these twenty countries eventually decided to move to the highest point in the world, which is the origin of Mary Geoise. The Celestial Dragons of today are descendants of those royal families.
Cough cough!
Our Nefertari Family was one of them, but when it came time to relocate, our ancestor Queen Lily changed her mind, so our Nefertari Family remained in the lower realm.
Cough cough cough!
Imu's anger stemmed from the fact that Queen Lily, one of the Twenty Kings, had added the letter "D" to her name—a prefix typically reserved for members of their enemy, the Great Kingdom.
Cough cough!
Therefore, Imu deduced that Queen Lily had betrayed the alliance of the Twenty Kings, sided with the enemy, and even used her convenient identity to send the Poneglyph, left by the enemy as a precaution, to various parts of the world for safekeeping.
Cough cough!
The Poneglyph roughly documented some of the events that occurred back then. I suspect the Alliance of Twenty Kings must have done something shameful or outrageous.
Therefore, fearing that the enemy would record and spread the information, the World Government is constantly on edge, even prohibiting the study of Ancient Script by law. The destruction of Ohara was a product of their fear, and what I saw on the Empty Throne was merely the least compelling reason for their killing!
Cobra is now practically all alone, and will face pursuit from the World Government in the future. There's nothing left to hide. He clenched his fist, covered his mouth, coughed, and blurted out everything he knew and what he had speculated.
After all, it happened 800 years ago, and we can't possibly know the whole story based on just one letter sent back by Queen Lily.
The letter only mentioned that future generations should protect the Poneglyph in the underground palace, as its contents are very important and related to the Ancient Weapon Pluton. It did not say much else.
If too much information is revealed and leaks occur, the entire Nefertari Family will be purged by the World Government. Queen Lily will not leave such a hidden danger.
Cobra deduced all this from Imu's fragmented words. What the future holds is still a question. Perhaps the way out lies with Vic. Cobra naturally revealed everything!
"You mean the Poneglyph were scattered around the world by your ancestor Queen Lily? Do you have specific locations and sea charts?"
Vic never imagined that Vivi's ancestors had such a connection with the Poneglyph. If there were indeed records left behind, he could learn more about what happened 800 years ago more quickly, and he would have a clearer understanding of how to face the future.
Regardless of the truth of what happened back then, whether Imu or Joy Boy were on the side of justice, the Celestial Dragons, these parasites that have existed for 800 years, absolutely cannot be allowed to live. No matter how much they contributed in the past, it is not a reason for them to enslave other humans. Since they are already corrupt, there is no need for them to remain.
"No! Queen Lily passed the throne to her brother and then disappeared. She must have sent the Poneglyph to all parts of the world around that time, cough cough cough!"
Later, only a short letter was sent back, which did not contain any other Poneglyph. The only Poneglyph record was a piece of text about the Ancient Weapon Pluton, which was found in the underground palace of the royal palace.
Queen Lily instructed the Nefertari Family to safeguard the Poneglyph, and Nico Robin saw it two years ago; she should already know where the Poneglyph Ancient Weapon Pluton is! cough cough cough
Cobra didn't have much affection for Robin, nor much dislike for her, after all, she was Crocodile's top henchman, the mastermind behind the chaos in Alabasta.
