Big Eye Enters Marine Headquarters Alone
"A petty trick... I don't think such a small scheme can trouble the Seven Deadly Sins." Aokiji's lips curled slightly, finding the current situation amusing.
He got up, walked over, and picked up the treasure chest numbered 1 and its key.
I'll choose number one.
"Then I'll choose number 2."
Kizaru was sitting relatively close to the second treasure chest, so he easily grabbed both the second key and the chest.
Upon seeing this, Akainu's face darkened:
"Are you two idiots? The key matches the treasure chest; if it's stolen, the Seven Deadly Sins can open it immediately."
"Oh, now that you mention it, it's true. Kizaru, here's my key."
Aokiji tossed Key Number One to Kizaru, Kizaru calmly took a sip of tea and then casually gave Aokiji Key Number Two as well.
Akainu fell silent. Those two bastards...
Stussy covered his mouth and chuckled softly; the relationship between the Three Admirals was quite interesting.
Akainu snorted and took the third treasure chest. A rope was tied to the chest so that it could be easily tied around his waist.
However, he did not do that; instead, he looked up at the ceiling, his tone cold:
"Are you watching, Lord?"
"What you want is right here. Come and take it anytime you dare!"
After waiting a moment, there was still no response.
The three members of CP0 exchanged glances, Stussy smiled slightly:
"We will remain here temporarily, acting as the eyes and ears of the Five Elders, monitoring every step of the plan. Meanwhile, we have another task: please prepare a secret room for us..."
The Grand Line, Water 7.
This is a shipbuilding city on the water. The opening of the Sea Train and the rise of a shipbuilding company in recent years have revitalized this once quiet city.
One-fifth of the tonnage of the warships launched by the Navy each year comes from here.
At this moment, in a small bar somewhere in the city.
Blueno, the bar owner, had a kind and honest appearance. He stood behind the bar, silently wiping the glasses.
Suddenly, the sound of a Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi) came from under the bar.
"Pulu pulu~ Pulu pulu~"
A customer at the counter kindly reminded him, "Boss, the Den Den Mushi is ringing."
"My grandma back home calls often to check on me."
"Really? That's so enviable. My grandma passed away the year before last, and I didn't get to see her one last time. Aren't you going to answer the call?"
Please accept my condolences.
Brook offered a simple word of comfort, put down the glass she was wiping clean, and knelt down to retrieve a Den Den Mushi from under the bar.
"I won't disturb you, I'll go upstairs to answer the phone."
Holding the continuously beeping Den Den Mushi, Brook went up to the second floor of the bar.
He returned to his bedroom, closed the door, and then solemnly answered the call.
"Moshimoshi, it's me, Blueno."
"Damn it, how long are you going to make me wait?"
The Den Den Mushi let out a loud roar.
Blueno quickly covered the Den Den Mushi's mouth, "I'm so sorry, sir, we're still open for business here, there are customers downstairs."
"Oh, is that so? Never mind."
On the other end of the phone, the officer's tone softened slightly, "The orders from above are for you to immediately proceed to Marine Headquarters to assist the Three Admirals in a mission."
Assist the Admiral?
Blueno was taken aback. What qualifications did he have to assist Marine Admiral?
What mission?
"How should I know! Enough nonsense, hurry up and go. As for Water 7, it doesn't matter if you're missing! That's all, I'm hanging up."
Click, the Den Den Mushi was automatically disconnected.
Blueno couldn't understand why Marine Admiral, with his strength, would need his assistance.
However, a task is a task, and orders are absolute.
He put away the Den Den Mushi, turned around and went downstairs. The guests downstairs saw him return:
"The noise was a bit loud just now. Did you have an argument with your grandma? She seems to be in very good health."
"Yes, I'm sorry, I need to go back to my hometown for a while. Consider the drinks today on my behalf."
Wano Country, Kuri, Amigasa Village.
Tenguyama Hitetsu House
[... That's the situation. The World Government deliberately concealed what the three Devil Fruits actually were. It's possible that the treasure chest didn't contain any Devil Fruits, but rather bombs.]
You know what, it's actually possible!
Based on Dimon's understanding of the Five Elders, especially Saturn, that old man is absolutely capable of putting a bomb in a treasure chest.
Is there a way to confirm this?
[Master, I tried to get inside, but the treasure chest is airtight and in the hands of the Three Admirals. I was afraid of being exposed, so I didn't attempt to force my way in.]
Without opening the treasure chest, even Mammon's ultrasonic probe cannot penetrate a physical treasure chest to determine whether it contains Devil Fruit.
The World Government is quite capable, but it has given me a difficult problem... Considering this, it doesn't seem like Five Elders 'Saturn idea, but more like Tsuru's or Sengoku's plan.
They even deliberately had CP0 members say things like, "If it's lost, the Five Elders will be angry," to inflate the value of the fruit inside the treasure chest.
"Big Eye, go to Marine Headquarters. Your top priority is to confirm whether the treasure chest contains Devil Fruit."
"If so, immediately summon Samael, Sigma, Kuranos to seize the fruit."
"If not, detonate the bomb."
At this point, Dimon paused.
Big Eye's abilities are unpredictable, but if he enters Marine Headquarters alone, he might be exploited by a space-age ability user.
To be on the safe side, we need to let him fuse with the Big Stone to gain absolute defensive capabilities.
"Ain, where is the Big Stone?"
[He is currently merging with Lycaon is imprisoned on Onigashima. Incidentally, Master Yamato was captured by her father Kaido and is being held with Lycaon.]
Yamato, that idiot, can't escape Kaido's grasp after all... Dimon couldn't help but laugh:
"Well, Wano Country still has a Poneglyph, so I might as well create another 'Big Stone' while I'm at it. But first I need to find Tenguyama Hitetsu..."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Tenguyama Hitetsu's figure appeared in the bamboo forest, hurrying home.
He heard from the villagers that a monster with Big Eye had come to the Amigasa Village and even went to his house, telling him to run away quickly.
But how could he escape?
The Nidai Kitetsu, Famous Sword forged by their Kotetsu, is still in their home.
As soon as I stepped into the bamboo forest, I suddenly felt a tremor beneath my feet.
Tenguyama Hitetsu looked down and saw a gaping maw bursting out of the ground, lunging at him.
It was a giant, bluish-black python, its body as thick as a water bucket.
"What!?"
Tenguyama Hitetsu's expression changed drastically. Was this the monster the villagers were talking about?
He couldn't dodge in time and was bitten by the giant python, which lifted him into the air.
The dark blue python did not devour him, but instead spoke in human language:
"Kozuki Sukiyaki, where do you know the Poneglyph?"
Chapter 150 Big Eye Enters Headquarters Alone
"I... I don't know what you're talking about!"
Tenguyama Hitetsu... no, to be precise, Kozuki Sukiyaki was deeply shaken.
His hidden identity was revealed so easily—could he be a Devil Fruit user sent by Kaido?
Dimon didn't have time for riddles; he delivered a clean and decisive threat:
"Your granddaughter Kozuki Hiyori known as Komurasaki, would better answer honestly if she didn't want me to chop her into mincemeat."
Even this?!
Kozuki Sukiyaki lost all will to resist, her face ashen.
"You are... I know! A few days ago, someone came to me to take away Enma and Ame no Habakiri... You are people from the outer sea, who caused chaos in the Flower Capital and killed Kurozumi Orochi."
The death of Kurozumi Orochi caused a nationwide shock, and Kozuki Sukiyaki naturally heard of such momentous news.
In recent days, he has been trying to find out news about several "heroes".
"Answer the questions."
"I don't know which part you're referring to..."
The dark blue python released its grip, dropping the person to the ground. Then, the python reverted to its beast form and gradually transformed into Dimon's appearance.
"Where is a regular Poneglyph located in the room where you were imprisoned by Kurozumi Orochi?"
"In the Flower Capital, in the underground prison of the General's Mansion."
Kozuki Sukiyaki didn't dare to hide anything and told him everything, but she was increasingly confused. Who exactly was this person, and why did he know so much about what happened back then?
Dimon knew, of course, that it was an underground cell, but Ain couldn't find out exactly where it was located.
"Lead the way."
Dimon extended his right hand, and the mark on his palm emitted golden light, outlining a pentagram magic circle on the ground.
Kozuki Sukiyaki couldn't help but squint. When the golden light faded, he found himself in a dark prison.
"Where am I..." he murmured absentmindedly.
"The General's Mansion Underground Prison."
In an instant, he arrived in the Flower Capital from Kuri... Kozuki Sukiyaki was shocked. No wonder this person dared to kill Kurozumi Orochi so casually.
"The secret chamber where I'm imprisoned isn't here; it's deeper inside. I'll take you there."
Upon exiting the prison cell, Kozuki Sukiyaki pressed a brick into the wall outside the door, causing the wall to flip over and reveal a staircase leading underground.
Dimon raised an eyebrow. So there were mechanisms in this kind of place. No wonder Ain couldn't find the entrance either.
Following Kozuki Sukiyaki deeper into the underground cell, they indeed found an ordinary Poneglyph in a corner of the cell.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
"And there's another one, even deeper underground, a piece of Road Poneglyph."
Dimon walked up to the stone and carved a teleportation mark on it.
Upon hearing his words, Kozuki Sukiyaki was completely stunned.
Why does this person know so much?
They even know the Road Poneglyph!
"Besides the Road Poneglyph, Pluton, one of the Three Ancient Weapons, should also be buried beneath the ancient Wano Country. Where is that thing?"
