One Piece: My Crew is from Other World

Chapter 290: Rocks’ Notes!



Unbeknownst to him, Ryuunosuke had subtly influenced Sterry. But of course, he remained clueless about it.

At the moment, their ship had arrived at a small, uninhabited island—one marked by the eternal pointer they'd been following. Staring at the lonely mass of land ahead, Ryuunosuke couldn't help but frown in doubt.

Was this really the right place?

This was supposed to be Rocks' treasure!

A location as important as this… should it really be some random, isolated island in the New World?

Even someone with average Observation Haki on their crew could scan this entire place with ease. There were no hidden traps, no threatening presence—just a bland island sitting in the middle of nowhere.

Could the treasure really be buried here?

And then there was another thing that bugged him. There were plenty of islands like this scattered across the New World. Why this one? Had Rocks hidden something in advance and marked it with a special eternal pointer?

His thoughts boiling over, Ryuunosuke finally turned around. "Nojiko, are we even in the right place?"

They had spent weeks searching, and this anticlimactic island felt like a slap in the face.

"That's right," Nojiko said confidently, holding up the eternal pointer. "This one's special. It wasn't just recorded—it was set."

"Set?" Ryuunosuke raised a brow.

"Normally, there are two eternal pointers like this," Nojiko explained. "If one is destroyed, the other permanently points to the broken location. This isn't just any pointer—it's the kind only used in special circumstances. There's no way Rocks would waste it on a joke."

Her words made sense. Eternal pointers like these were extremely rare, both now and back in Rocks' era. Even a pirate as chaotic as him wouldn't use something so valuable for a prank.

"I see," Ryuunosuke nodded.

Without further delay, he released his Observation Haki, sweeping across the entire island. He wasn't just looking—he was feeling everything: the terrain, the creatures underground, even the composition of the soil.

And soon enough, he sensed it.

A box—hidden beneath the earth, eerily similar to the one they'd found in the Valley of the Gods.

So Rocks really had left something here.

But oddly enough, Ryuunosuke didn't feel excited.

They hadn't overcome any obstacles to get here. No traps, no guardians, no riddles—just a pointer and a buried box.

It didn't feel like an adventure. It felt like skipping to the ending of a story without reading the middle.

Sure enough, the box was dug up and brought onto the deck of the Ship of Gods.

"This is the legendary treasure of Rocks?" Najenda asked, blinking at the worn-out wooden box. "Doesn't look like much…"

Honestly, she wasn't alone. Everyone stared at the box with visible confusion. If they had braved deadly seas, beast-filled islands, and ancient puzzles to get here, maybe this would feel meaningful.

But this?

This felt like ordering a legendary feast and getting a plate of cold fries.

"It's the same kind of box we found in the Valley of the Gods," Ryuunosuke confirmed, still unimpressed.

"Brother Ryuunosuke, what's inside?" Akame asked with curiosity. "Please don't tell me it's, like, smelly socks or something."

"I hope not," Fengtian chimed in. "That would be a tragic end to this adventure."

"Alright, alright. Let's open it," Ryuunosuke muttered. He wasn't expecting much. He flipped the lid—

Inside was just a single piece of paper.

That's it.

A month of searching… for a sheet of paper?

If they had spent that time hunting Pluto's location instead, the Ship of Gods might have evolved again by now.

Ryuunosuke felt like he'd just been conned.

"Captain, wait! There's something written on it," Najenda said. "It's… a note from Rocks!"

Everyone leaned in as she read aloud:

> [Hahaha, has someone finally found this?

World Government, your good days are coming to an end.

Whether you're a pirate or a civilian, bring this to Roger.

And if you find the following information useful—read on.]

Ryuunosuke exhaled slowly. So, Rocks had written this... and even entrusted it to Roger?

That alone proved its value. Rocks wouldn't have trusted anyone else with something important—not after God Valley.

He read on, his eyes gradually widening.

This wasn't a message left during the Valley of the Gods battle. This was from twenty years after!

Apparently, Rocks had survived his defeat at God Valley, though barely. He'd escaped death, even with the massive injuries left by Garp and Roger.

But Rocks was no ordinary pirate.

Using his treasure reserves, he exchanged them for rare medicines and cutting-edge treatments. Miraculously, he recovered—body and strength both.

And the first thing he did?

He went straight to Mariejois.

This event had been completely erased from public history. The World Government had covered it up—because even they saw it as a shameful moment.

Rocks rampaged through the Holy Land. The Five Elders—then young and inexperienced—couldn't stand against him. The Celestial Dragon guards were swept aside like flies.

Then, Rocks saw him—the man taken from the Valley of the Gods.

And behind that man stood the one person Rocks couldn't ignore—Im, the ruler of the World Government.

The scene that followed was brutal.

Out came the King—a towering being with devastating shockwaves. With each blow, Rocks was pushed closer to the edge, reliving the agony of his clash with Garp and Roger.

And yet, with his last ounce of strength, he managed to steal half of the King's essence.

Yes, steal—because Rocks was the former user of the Dark-Dark Fruit. And with its awakened power, he extracted half of the King's soul and fled.

During his escape through a hidden tunnel, he encountered two infants—newborns.

He infused that half-soul into their bodies before disappearing into the darkness.

And the exit of that tunnel?

This very island.

By the time he emerged, Rocks' injuries were beyond healing. His body began to collapse.

And then—he met a woman.

Ryuunosuke's hand trembled slightly as he read the name.

[Bell-mère]

His head snapped up to look at Nojiko.

Could the other child be… Nami?

Ryuunosuke's brain short-circuited.

Even the craziest dramas wouldn't dare write a plot twist like this.

"Captain?" Najenda tilted her head. "Did you find something… unusual?"

"Yeah," Ryuunosuke muttered. "Something… explosive."

He handed her the letter silently.

As she read, her eyes darted to Nojiko.

"…Why are you all looking at me?" Nojiko asked, blinking.

"Don't tell me Rocks actually wrote about me in there? Back then, I wasn't even born!"

She laughed awkwardly, waving off their stares.

Indeed, back during the God Valley battle… Nojiko hadn't even existed yet.
