One Piece: With Sign-in System

Chapter 98: 98: Decoding the Poneglyph—Robin's Shock



The Traveler's Ship, with its sails raised, cut through the waves, sailing across the vast and endless blue sea. The sea breeze blew gently, and the sunlight was warm and pleasant.

Conis, with her golden hair flowing and small wings taken off her back, stood on the deck, covered in sweat. She focused intently on controlling three pieces of steel blades hovering around her body, using them for both offense and defense training.

Not far from her, the Kung Fu Dugong, now named Enzo, wore a steel vest and was practicing its martial arts. Despite being exhausted and drenched in sweat, its small eyes shone with excitement.

Under the shade of a few small fruit trees at the corner of the deck, Su happily played with a ball of yarn, clearly enjoying herself.

Inside the relatively spacious library, Nico Robin gazed at the three massive stone tablets in front of her. Her expression was a mixture of shock, joy, and, most of all, excitement.

"What is this?"

"The first one was found in the funeral hall of Arabasta, the second one in a mysterious deep pit in the Arabasta desert, and the third I found in Sky Island."

Ron, lounging in a nearby chair, smiled at her as he spoke.

"Would you like to try interpreting them?"

Without waiting for his suggestion, the excited Nico Robin had already moved forward, reaching out to touch the first stone tablet. She stared at the ancient script for a long while, her pupils slightly shifting.

Noticing the change in her emotions, Ron spoke from behind her.

"It's recording information about the ancient weapon, the King of the Underworld, right?"

Robin nodded softly.

She then turned to face Ron and explained further:

"This records that the King of the Underworld is a super battleship designed and constructed by the shipbuilders of Water Seven. Its destructive power is terrifying; with a single shot, it could obliterate an entire island. It is an ultimate weapon capable of destroying the world."

"Ron, if possible, I hope you'll allow me to keep its location hidden. Such a weapon... it really shouldn't be out in the world."

Listening to her words, Ron looked at her serious expression and smiled.

"Sure, no problem. I'm not someone like Crocodile who has ambitions of ruling the seas. This ultimate weapon is pretty much irrelevant to me."

Robin let out a sigh of relief at his response, a smile appearing on her face.

She then turned back to the second stone tablet, the one found in the mysterious pit in the desert. This stone was much more fragmented, with some words Robin had never seen before, leaving her confused as she tried to make sense of it.

But there were a few terms in the text that stood out to her.

"The Giant Kingdom... destroyed 800 years ago... enemy of the gods…"

She turned to look at Ron, preparing to tell him all the information recorded on this stone tablet.

Ron listened intently, his eyes narrowing slightly. The information recorded here aligned with what had been revealed in the original story.

Indeed, 800 years ago, there was a giant kingdom that was destroyed, and the current World Government was established on the ruins of that kingdom. In order to rule, the World Government had erased all traces of that kingdom from history.

As for the "enemy of the gods," it likely referred to the D Clan—the mysterious group with the initial "D."

Did the D Clan really have some connection with that giant kingdom?

Unfortunately, the stone tablet provided so little information that it was impossible to figure out how the giant kingdom was destroyed, or what connection the D Clan had to it. It didn't explain why the World Government went to such lengths to erase all traces of that kingdom, even going so far as to create a gap of one hundred years in history…

Robin began deciphering the third stone tablet, the one from Sky Island.

This one contained records about the three ancient weapons and the location of Poseidon.

Ron, to her surprise, was actually more knowledgeable about this than she was.

Poseidon, is located at Fish-Man Island, 10,000 meters beneath the sea, and it is associated with the mermaid princess who has the ability to communicate with Sea Kings. During the Void Century (Blank 100 years), 800 years ago, there was a mermaid princess who carried the title of Poseidon. In the current generation, it is the princess of Ryugu Kingdom, Shirahoshi, who has awakened this ability.

After reading all three stone tablets, Ron waved his hand and stored them into his system space.

Robin, with her black hair flowing over her shoulders, stood by the window in the library, thoughtfully rubbing her chin. The sunlight poured through the window and illuminated her, revealing her scholarly demeanor.

"Robin, do you know how many stone tablets recording historical truths there are in total?"

Ron, sitting in a nearby chair, asked, gazing at her.

Robin, snapping out of her thoughts, shook her head.

"I don't know."

Ron held up three fingers with a smile and explained, "There are about 30 stone tablets in this sea that record historical truths."

"These indestructible tablets are divided into two types."

"One type consists of four red marker tablets that record the location of Raftel. The other type includes 26 tablets that record the Blank Hundred Years of history, including nine important tablets that contain critical information."

"When these 26 historical stone tablets are pieced together, they will reveal the truth about the Blank Hundred Years and answer all the mysteries."

Robin's eyes widened in shock.

Before she could ask any questions, Ron's next words stunned her even further.

Ron, reclining in his chair, stared up at the chandelier above him and said, "And that Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, probably already delivered this assembled article to its final destination—Raftel."
