The funeral hall to the west of the royal capital, the imperial tomb of the royal family is empty except for the soldiers stationed outside. Duke took Robin, used the ability of the door fruit, opened the space channel, and entered the imperial tomb without disturbing anyone.

Along the way, Robin remained silent, thinking about Duke's unique views on heroes. When O'Hara was destroyed by the Demon Slaying Order, she had been praying for heroes to appear, but there were no heroes from the beginning to the end. Hearing Duke's warning words today, she thought of O'Hara inadvertently. At that time, all the scholars stood up, but it still didn't prevent O'Hara from being burned. But she, who escaped alone, was pulled out of the darkness.

"Captain, this world needs heroes!"

Duke was leading the way, when he heard Robin say this suddenly, he suddenly wondered: "Still thinking about what you said before? Pinning your hopes on others is not in line with Robin's character, don't you only believe in yourself?"

Robin stopped in his tracks, looked at Duke with a strange gaze, and said quietly, "I still believe you!"

Duke was taken aback, then laughed loudly: "It's really an honor to be trusted by you."

Robin took a deep look at Duke, and wrote lightly, "Captain, I'm not joking."

Duke shrugged: "I'm not joking either!"

The two continued to walk forward as they spoke, until they reached the royal family's sacrificial hall in the center of the imperial mausoleum. On the empty square of the main hall, there are nine stone sculptures neatly arranged horizontally and vertically. Years of wind and sand have smoothed the edges and corners of the sculptures, and only an outline can be seen. The beasts on the sculptures are different, and they all seem to be the auspicious totems of Alabasta.

Duke fumbled for a while, and finally pushed away a sculpture with the head of an owl and the body of a fish. In Robin's surprised sight, after a sound of mechanism starting, the ground slowly cracked a bottomless stone-step passage.

"It turns out that the original text of history is hidden underground in the imperial mausoleum..." Robin looked at the deep passage and asked curiously: "Captain, how do you know that the text of history is hidden here? Besides, shouldn't there be only members of the royal family in such a sophisticated institution?" Did you know?"

Robin is really curious. Although she has known for a long time that her captain is very mysterious and knows many unknown secrets, she still can't help being surprised every time. Duke seemed to be shrouded in layers of mist, wrapped in a hazy water curtain, which made her worry about gains and losses for a long time, and couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

"I have my own source of information!" Duke said rather mysteriously.

"Stop lying, I've never seen you exchange information with anyone." Robin didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, Duke didn't want to say it, and she didn't force it. A smart woman understands that everyone has their own secrets, some secrets cannot be shared, and demanding answers will only lead to disgust.

Robin couldn't wait to follow the steps into the passage, and Duke followed behind her. At the end of the stone steps, at a depth of tens of meters underground, there was a large-scale underground palace.

There is an eternal fire in the underground palace, and the reliefs on the walls are clearly visible, which record many myths and stories about Alabasta, the names and taboos of the ancient kings, and their short life records. Robin was so excited that he couldn't hold back the strong historical atmosphere.

Pushing open the stone door in the main hall, Robin impatiently walked towards the huge stone tablet, reaching out to sweep away the floating dust on the stone tablet.

"The historical text of Alabasta records information about the ancient weapon Pluto, and there is no historical truth you want." Duke leaned against the wall, feeling a little helpless. I had told Robin earlier, but I didn't expect her to be so excited.

"Every time I study a stele, it means that I am one step closer to the truth of history. This is exactly the ideal I am striving for!" Robin was in high spirits, concentrating on studying it carefully.

Duke looked at the densely packed stone tablet engraved with strange words, feeling bored, and was about to leave when Robin said temptingly: "Captain, the stone tablet not only records the history of this country, but also mentions the location of Hades. A powerful warship capable of destroying an island with a single shot is buried somewhere in this country, don’t you want to know?”

"Tsk!" Duke curled his lips and said angrily, "Don't use these things to tempt me all the time. I have weak willpower. What if I can't stand the temptation?"

"If the captain wants to know, just ask me." Robin chuckled.

"Forget it! If I really wanted to destroy an island with a single shot, I would have made one myself." Duke shook his head. If he really wanted to talk about black technology, he had a lot of ideas in his mind. As long as the supply of materials can keep up, He can build a space battleship.

In the many worlds that the Dukes travel through, there are many cosmic civilizations with explosive technological levels. Not to mention destroying an island with a single shot, annihilating a planet abounds. He has a very clear definition of himself, physical skills plus domineering, and the road ahead is to hone these two to the peak.

The world of pirates is magnificent, with countless unimaginable monsters and natural creations, and there are countless strong ones. This is the sea that men yearn for! What's the point of pushing all the way with the invincible battleship?

Besides, battleships are foreign objects after all, and they cannot increase attributes, so this kind of invincibility is not worth mentioning. He is different from the gang of salted fish in the group, his goal is to become a thigh, not a pendant on the thigh.

"Captain, after interpreting this historical stele, where should we go next?" Robin interrupted Duke's meditation.

"The next stop is Sky Island, there is also a stone tablet there."

"Is this also your exclusive information, Captain?" Robin couldn't help teasing.

"Of course, my information has always been accurate." Duke didn't blush and said without panting, "Roger, the pirate king, has also been there, maybe you can find the clues he left behind."

"That's really worth looking forward to..."

The two said that the things should be returned to their original places, and after cleaning up the traces left, they left the imperial mausoleum.

Just deciphering a new historical stele, Robin is in a good mood and plans to have a taste of Alabasta's customs and customs, that is, go to the street to buy new clothes and cosmetics. Duke didn't refute either. He's been on his way recently, so he should relax his tired nerves.

Alabasta is vast and sparsely populated, and most civilians gather in a few prosperous cities, and Albany, the capital of the king, is the most populous city. Although it has been attacked by inexplicable sandstorms in the past two years, merchants at sea are still optimistic about this bustling city, so there is a steady stream of goods pouring in every day.

The common people are suffering from increasingly difficult life, but the rich will not, especially in the trade area, where there are many rich people spending money like water. Duke, who is good at black and white, barely belongs to the ranks of the rich. Although the prices in the capital are generally high, it is not enough for him to be shy.

However, there is such a thing as Murphy's law: things that can go wrong will always go wrong, and the more you worry about something happening, the more likely it will happen.

Duke never expected that it was not Robin but him who caused trouble first. He was unprepared when a group of low-level agents from the Baroque Works stopped him with Huazhou's picture album.

"The guy who hides his head and shows his tail, you were the one who killed MR.11 and then took his saber, right?"

"You dare to send it to your door, you really don't know how to live or die!"

Seven or eight bounty hunters who looked vicious and looked like they were licking blood from their blades said viciously.

Duke was confused: "Who is MR.11? If it's the owner of this knife, I'm pretty sure he wasn't killed."

Duke still can't do the killing and seizing the treasure, and under normal circumstances he will pay a high price to buy it. After the negotiation fails, he will handle it according to the circumstances of the object. If the other party is a heinous villain, he will choose to rob him by force. If the other party is innocent, he will threaten and lure him.

All in all, he would absolutely resist stealing other people's treasures and silence them. You can be shameless, but you can't be without a bottom line.

"Do you still dare to speak hard?"

"Why are you talking so much to him? He is wearing a mask, so he must be a pirate. Our baroque work agency takes it as our mission to fight pirates. It is his own bad luck that he hit our gun."

A burly bounty hunter pointed a spear at Duke from behind, and greedily said, "I'll accept Huazhou."

Robin was picking out clothes in the store when he heard a gunshot outside the store, followed by screams of chickens flying and dogs jumping. When she Shi Shiran packed her clothes and walked out of the store, she saw several unconscious bounty hunters lying at Duke's feet.

"Captain, is shopping time over?"

"Let's go, it's not safe here anymore. Go to the port now, and leave this country!" Several trash fish from the baroque work agency have not been taken seriously by Duke, but it is not good to attract Crocodile behind the scenes up.

It's not that I'm afraid of the crocodile, but that there's no need to conflict with him. With Duke's domineering cultivation, the crocodile is doomed to fail miserably, but then what?

Alligator is not on the list of strong players that Duke wants to challenge, and it is meaningless to fight him.
