The Indestructible Stone

The real world is not a game, nor is it a nautical chart. It doesn't mark where the Tarai Current is. Even if you search from the sky, you would have to do a thorough search of a large area of the ocean to find it.

This is too time-consuming and laborious. Since we have Nami as our navigator, we might as well use her.

"In short, your mission is to help us find the Impel Down located in a section of the Tarai Current."

"Okay, I'll do my best."

"Um?"

"Hmm... I said I would definitely complete the mission!"

Nami gave an awkward smile, wondering to herself, "What are the Seven Deadly Sins trying to do by contacting Impel Down?"

Even though she was far away in the East Blue, she had heard of the world's largest Impel Down more than once, and it was rumored that no one had ever been able to escape from it.

No, there is one person.

Nami recalled a story Bellemere had told her when she was a child. When she was still a naval captain, a great pirate had cut off his own legs and successfully escaped from prison.

His name seems to be... "Golden Lion" Shiki!

"Alright, this captain's cabin is yours for now, Zuizui."

Dimon shouted, and a mouth immediately appeared on the table, startling Nami as it opened its mouth.

"Zh... Captain, I'm here."

"W-What is this?" Nami's Big Eye in disbelief.

"It's called the Ship Zuizui, which is the ship itself and also the Devil Fruit User. You can ask it any questions you have, and it will temporarily obey your commands and sail according to your guidance."

After giving the instructions, Dimon snapped his fingers and activated his teleportation ability again.

"Then, I'll await your good news, Miss Nami."

A flash of golden light disappeared in an instant, and the person had vanished from the captain's cabin.

No wonder he's a bounty hunter with a 666.66 million bounty; he comes and goes without a trace... Nami thought to herself, glancing at the mouth on the table and forcing a smile.

"Hello, I'm Nami, a new recruit from The Seven Deadly Sins."

"Hello, human, you can call me Master Ship Zuizui."

Ship Zuizui was incredibly enthusiastic, finally encountering someone of lower status than himself. The people on the ship before were all demons, their combat power off the charts! Compared to them, this human girl seemed incredibly cute.

"Ahem, as your senior, I will guide you well, Nami."

He paused, then began to describe the situation on the ship, "First of all, never mess with a man named Samael. He's Wrath, and if you dare to provoke him, he'll definitely burn you alive."

Samael, one of the Seven Deadly Sins... Nami's eyes lit up. She'd heard of this name before, but was this guy really that terrifying?

"Secondly, don't provoke Sigma. He usually sleeps in the watchtower for days at a time. Disturbing his sleep will lead to terrible things."

Another original sin!

Sleeping for several days... does that mean I don't need to eat?

Nami was curious, but considering the terrible things that Ship Zuizui had said, she didn't dare to investigate further.

"Finally, never enter the storage room or the punishment room; those are forbidden areas! Newcomer, do you have any more questions?"

I have a question.

Nami raised her hand and said quickly, "Mr. Big Eye asked me to find Impel Down, at least I need to know where we are now."

"In the sky."

"Ah?"

Nami stared wide-eyed, tilting her head to look out the window at the scenery.

What the naked eye could see was not the blue ocean as expected, but an endless sea of white clouds.

"It's... it really in the sky!?"

Chapter 114 The Indestructible Stone

Having entrusted the search for Impel Down Nami, Dimon, free of any further burdens, returned to Alabasta alone.

This country is experiencing a drought of unprecedented severity, orchestrated by Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who aims to plunge the nation into chaos and ultimately seize it.

He had no connection with the Alabasta and had no interest in interfering in the matter.

The reason I returned here is for another purpose.

"I remember there was a Poneglyph in the capital of Alabasta... The contents of it seemed to be about the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapon Pluton."

Dimon stood on the roof of a house, recalling the plot as he knew it.

Pluton is buried underground in Wano Country, and it is said that this super battleship can destroy an island with a single shot.

That place is now Four Emperors 'Kaido territory. We can try to find it sometime. If we can Animation Pluton, he will be able to wield the power of Ancient Weapon.

However, his return to Alabasta is not for Pluton, but for the Poneglyph of Pluton' location.

This is an indestructible stone created 800 years ago by the Kozuki Clan of Wano Country.

It contains the core truth of the Void Century, as well as information on the Three Ancient Weapons.

There are approximately 30 pieces scattered around the world, most of which are Information Poneglyph, and only 4 are red Road Poneglyph.

The Roger Pirates found the exact coordinates of the Laugh Tale by collecting all four Road Stones.

Of course, Dimon wasn't particularly interested in the treasure of the Laugh Tale for the time being; he was more interested in the stone itself that bore the Poneglyph.

For 800 years, World Government have tried every means to destroy this stone, but they have been unable to do so, not even leaving a scratch on it, which shows that the hardness of this stone has reached an unbelievable level.

All the World Government can do is hide the collected Poneglyph and kill any scholars who dare to explore history.

"If Animation this stone and then allow Devil Fruit to reside within it, we can gain god-like defensive power."

Without hesitation, Dimon immediately headed towards the capital.

Royal capital, Alubarna.

The city sits on a circular plateau, with wide stone steps carved out in the four cardinal directions leading to the city gates.

The towering, snow-white city walls encircled the entire city. Inside, buildings stood in rows, and the streets and alleys were dry and hot, with sandstorms frequently blowing by, stinging one's cheeks.

The royal palace, located in the city center, is majestic and solemn. The setting sun casts its golden rays on the white walls, creating a magnificent scene.

At this moment, inside the palace, in the king's private study.

Cobra sat at his desk, reviewing the disaster reports sent from all over the country in recent months, his face showing indescribable worry.

The domestic food supply is critically low; we must find a solution as soon as possible.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Cobra noticed that the setting sun outside the window was blocked, and a person's shadow stretched from in front of the desk to the tabletop, just blocking the disaster report in his hand.

Cobra slowly raised his head and found a person standing in front of him, wearing a mask and a long black robe.

As the king of a nation, he quickly regained his composure after a brief moment of shock.

"Who are you?"

The Seven Deadly Sins.

Dimon spoke calmly, identifying himself before speaking unhurriedly:

"Don't be nervous, King Cobra. I have no interest in your country, nor in you personally. My purpose in seeking you out is simple: take me to your royal tombs, where there should be a Poneglyph."

Cobra's pupils contracted sharply.

The Seven Deadly Sins: The man in the black robe and mask is a bounty hunter with a reward of over 660 million, codenamed "Big Eye"!

What shocked him more than the other person's identity was their ability to reveal the secret of the royal mausoleum.

The World Government has clear regulations that no Affiliated Nation may possess the Poneglyph. If the government were to find out about this, things would become very complicated.

How did you know?

Cobra a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm. "This is a secret of our Nefertari clan. How could outsiders know?"

Not to mention outsiders, even his daughter, Princess Nefertari Vivi, was unaware that there was a Poneglyph in the mausoleum.

As for denying it... denying it is meaningless. They've already come knocking, which means they have accurate information.

Cobra kept seeing the faces of the people around him in his mind, suspecting that there was a mole among them.

"You can refuse to answer, and I have ways to get you to talk, it'll just take a little time."

Dimon remained unhurried, even maintaining the necessary politeness and gentleness in his tone. "Of course, if you offer to lead the way, I will also give you a much-needed intelligence report about the current predicament your country is facing."

Alabasta's current predicament is self-evident, regarding the severe drought... Listening to this, isn't this a natural disaster?

Cobra was stunned. He had never considered the problem from this perspective before. Now that the other party had pointed it out, he had a strong suspicion in his heart.

"I'll give you ten seconds to think about it, ten..."

Can you read Ancient Script?

Dimon stopped the countdown and shook his head, saying, "You don't need to know that."

"I can take you there, but I want to know what information you're talking about first."

Cobra made a quick decision; the man was already standing right in front of him, so he had no choice but to accept.

Moreover, it's just a piece of Poneglyph. Although it's something that their Nefertari clan has guarded for generations, they themselves don't even know what its actual use is.

Rather than offending the recently risen mysterious organization for that stone, it's better to comply and exchange some necessary intelligence.

"A very wise judgment."

Dimon nodded, showing more appreciation for Cobra. As expected of a king, his ability to assess the situation was fundamental; he wouldn't be foolish enough to choose confrontation.

He quickly shared the information he knew with the other party.

"What? Crocodile?"

Cobra was utterly shocked.

As Shichibukai, Crocodile has been in Alabasta for over ten years, during which time he has been revered by the people as "the hero of Alabasta." The country has not suffered much from pirate attacks, Crocodile has made a significant contribution to this.

This person actually used "Dance Powder" to gather all the rainwater in the country into the dream city of Rainbase.

"What does he want to do?" Cobra incredulously.

"The intelligence has already informed you; it's your turn."

Seeing that Dimon did not give a direct answer, Cobra did not press the matter, but simply stood up silently, gesturing for the other to follow.

As the two stepped out of the king's private study, they bumped into a young girl.

The girl appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a high, light blue ponytail and gentle features. Upon seeing Cobra, she immediately greeted him politely.

"Father..."

She quickly noticed Dimon behind Cobra, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"Vivi, I have something important to do right now. Go find Igaram."

Cobra's expression changed slightly. He immediately sent his daughter away and subconsciously glanced at Dimon.

"What kind of look is that..." Dimon thought to himself. "Does this old man suspect him of harming a little girl?"

However, people in this world seem to mature earlier. If you calculate the time, Princess Vivi should only be 13 years old this year, but she looks at least 15 or 16.

Based on the speculations of fans from the previous life, she is very likely to be the "Rain God".

One piece of evidence is that Imu highly values Vivi, placing her on the same level as Luffy, Blackbeard, and "Poseidon" Shirahoshi, listing her as an object that must be eliminated.

Dimon sized up Vivi, but couldn't discern anything special about the girl at the moment.

"Yes, Father."

Princess Vivi nodded obediently on the surface, but after secretly observing Dimon, she turned and left.

Cobra breathed a sigh of relief. "Come with me."

The two soon arrived at the royal mausoleum located behind the palace. The mausoleum was underground and looked completely normal from the surface, with a hidden entrance and concealed mechanisms.
