Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

As the observation continued, Robin saw more information from the ancient text inscribed on the golden pillar.

"This note is... rushed."

As I said before, only when a person is very familiar with a language can he really understand the information in it.

A person who only knows how to read the shape of words is not proficient in a language.

Some things, such as emotions or thoughts in writing, are not recognizable just by looking at them.

Robin continued to speak slowly:

"The person who wrote this text seems to be very anxious...you can even say a little impatient, it feels like..."

She thought for a moment, seeming to be looking for a suitable adjective.

Seeing this, Crocodile on the side added: "It feels like giving up on yourself?"

Crocodile, who does not understand ancient scripts, deduced it based on the semantics of the sentence.

In Shandora eight hundred years ago, a scholar who devoted his life to studying ancient characters finally discovered something, or encountered some enemies, and wrote such a passage.

He thought that he had no power to resist, and in the face of the huge gap in strength, he even felt that the things he had been proud of all his life were useless!

How hopeless is this?

For a scholar to deny his academics is tantamount to denying himself "everything".

For example, O'Hara, the former island of archaeologists, even though it was under fire from the navy, those archaeologists were still proud of the academics in their minds.

They never said such useless words as "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't study ancient characters, otherwise I wouldn't die now".

Find out the truth - it can never be wrong.

Even in the face of the devastating Demon Slaughter Order, what kind of terrifying enemy can make an archaeologist deny everything about himself?

Robin and Crocodile couldn't help turning their eyes to the Hailou Stone Passage not far away.

There, maybe there is the answer they want.

Of course, the meaning of this answer is different for the two.

Robin wants to fulfill O'Hara's will and explore the truth of history.

Crocodile, on the other hand, was more concerned about what kind of enemy the desperate archaeologist encountered.

He has always been a cautious careerist.

Anything that might threaten his purpose must be taken into account.

...

On the side, Luo Wen could see the thoughts of the two, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

He turned his head and told the Sandia soldiers on the side:

"Let people search the ruins of Shandora as soon as possible, don't miss any corner, pay attention to the characters similar to this shape, and even mark the scratches."

"yes!"

The Sandia soldier nodded in agreement, and then turned to do things.

Crocodile frowned slightly, because Rowan's instructions were actually superfluous.

He had seen Ryan Rowan use his very special domineering look.

If Rowan wanted to, he was fully capable of searching for the remains of Shandora carefully, not letting go of any corner, which was much more efficient than sending someone to search.

Maybe there is only one possibility.

Luo Wen's attention should be more focused on the sea tower stone passage, and he has no flaws to take care of other things.

And that seems to be the case.

Luo Wen held the scepter in his hand and stood in front of the sea tower stone passage.

Even that Ryan Rowan is still a devil fruit capable user after all.

Facing a passage made of extremely high-purity Hailou Stone, Luo Wen also felt quite stressed.

It was an absolute sense of powerlessness. If the navy's sea floor stone handcuffs are just a few grains of salt, then the pressure this channel puts on devil fruit users is like a bottomless sea!

It was already difficult for Rowan to keep his face the same.

"Hey, you don't want to go in, do you?"

Crocodile suddenly said.

In his opinion, no matter how strong Ryan Rowan is, it is impossible to enter this passage to explore in person.

The risk is simply too great!

But Rowan is clearly ready.

He beckoned, and the white beret troops of Sky Island on standby immediately started to move.

They took out the mechanical device that had been prepared, and then connected the pipes on the device to the huge "box" beside it.

Robin has never been to Sky Island, so he is very curious about the situation in front of him.

"what is that?"

"It's a cloud."

Luo Wen replied: "It took a lot of time to refine the 'Iron Cloud'."

The so-called "iron cloud" is a special cloud of Sky Island.

The texture of this cloud is extremely hard. As a weapon, it is even more balanced and tougher than ordinary steel.

And the most special thing is that after special treatment, this iron cloud can exist in a very soft form, which is almost the same as liquid.

However, this kind of cloud manufacturing is extremely difficult to refine, and it consumes manpower, material resources and time, so it is not widely used in Sky Island, at most it is used as a special weapon against the enemy.

In Enilo's original team of priests, there are also masters who use iron clouds as weapons.

but now……

Crocodile looked at the dozen or so huge boxes behind the white berets, and suddenly realized something.

If those boxes were filled with liquefied special iron clouds, then everything would make sense.

Ryan Rowan, this guy spent a few months after he first discovered this sea tower stone passage, to let the Sky Islanders create a huge amount of liquefied iron clouds!

As for the usage of these liquefied iron clouds, Crocodile is not difficult to imagine.

Luo Wen wants to use the characteristics of these iron clouds to isolate the Hailou Stone that cast the passage, and help him enter the depths of this passage!

...

as expected.

"Everyone get ready!"

Following the order of the captain of the white beret, the team members of the white beret got ready one after another.

They pointed the air guns in their hands at the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the passage, spraying out the liquefied iron cloud in the box

When these iron clouds touched the stone wall of Hailou, they solidified into a solid block of iron clouds.

Rowan reached out and touched the wall on one side, and found that the sense of powerlessness still existed, but it was not as strong as before.

In this state, although elementalization cannot be used, the basic physical skills have no effect.

This is enough for Rowan.

"let's go."

He said to Robin and Crocodile behind him.

But Rowan said so, the Sandia nation and the white berets certainly couldn't let Rowan's risky behavior go.

They each sent two fully armed elites to clear the way for Rowan and other three devil fruit users.

Before leaving, a technician in a white beret handed Robin a special potion.

"This is a potion that can re-liquefy iron clouds. If you want to observe a place covered by iron clouds, you can use this."

"Thanks."

Robin marveled at the technological level of Sky Island, then smiled and nodded in thanks.

...

On the other side, Crocodile was still puzzled by Rowan's actions.

In his opinion, to explore this unknown place, it is entirely possible for Sandia, Sky Islanders, and even Forgotten with the strongest individual combat capabilities.

In any case, it is more suitable than their three devil fruit ability users.

Seeing this, Luo Wen turned his head, smiled and said:

"Really? I thought you'd be interested."

"What?"

Crocodile was taken aback.

Luo Wen smiled even more happily, and there was a little unconscious excitement in his eyes.

"After all, exploring the 'unknown' is always fascinating, right?"
