Chapter 63: The Great Secret Treasure
In the blue sky, white seabirds flew past, crying as they went. Two pirate ships, one large and one small, crawled quietly on the sea, as if listening to the tranquility of the ocean.
"...Historical text?"
After hearing what Roger said, Whitebeard raised his eyebrows. He casually took a sip of strong wine and said in a rich voice, "That kind of thing is just a pile of broken stones that no one can understand. What does it have to do with the end of the sea?"
Roger, now full of alcohol, had a reddish look on his face. He shook his head and explained, "No, after the war that year, I used the permanent pointer obtained from the Valley of the Gods battlefield. I found Mercury Island pointed to by the pointer. But after landing, we found nothing on the island, and the pointer was out of control and couldn't guide us further. Rayleigh and I agreed there should be an island beyond Mercury Island, and only when we get there is the true voyage."
"Then I have been searching the sea for years and finally found clues to the final island, existing in this historical text." Roger lowered his voice and smiled. "The historical texts record the secrets and truth of history, and after investigation, four ancient red stone tablets recorded the location pointing to the final island."
"I call these four red historical texts 'road signs.' Only by gathering the information from the four 'road signs' can we find the end of the legendary sea. And that..." Roger's eyes were filled with endless yearning. "It's hiding 'ONE-PIECE!'"
However, facing the excited Roger, Whitebeard shrugged, "So what?" Roger's eyes widened, "What do you mean by 'so?'... Aren't you curious about what is at the end of the sea!? That's the final island! Isn't it that we go out to sea to find the secrets of this world!? This is the real freedom and dream!"
Whitebeard stretched his neck and took a sip of his drink. "Roger, I have no interest in any big secret treasure like that. If you want to find it, go find it yourself." His sharp, deep eyes looked at Marco and the others on the deck, who glanced over curiously from time to time. Despite being drunk, Whitebeard's eyes showed soft smiles.
"I've found my ONE-PIECE." The sea breeze blew gently by, and Whitebeard's long golden hair fluttered in the wind under the bright sunshine. Roger stared blankly at Whitebeard, who was smiling with satisfaction, and was suddenly speechless. "I see..."
After a while, he exhaled, shaking his head with a smile, "I really envy you for realizing your dream so quickly." Whitebeard smiled, a strange red light flashing in his eyes. "It's time for you to go, Roger."
Roger nodded. In Observation Haki's perception, two Marine warships had sailed into the nearby waters, and a strong aura loomed among them. Garp and Sengoku had joined the main force. So Roger picked up the wine bowl and said with a bright smile, "Then, next time we meet, let's have a good fight!"
Whitebeard also laughed, picking up the wine jar. "No problem." The two looked at each other and smiled. Boom! Their wine bowls and jars clinked high in the air, embodying freedom and dreams in the sunshine. They drank it all in one gulp.
Rumble! The dull sound of shelling came from the distant sea, and dark shells fell around the two pirate ships, exploding water columns. "Enemy attack!!" "Dad!! It's Marine!!" "Captain Roger!! Marine is here!!"
The sea surface was turbulent, and the two pirate ships shook violently. Members of the Whitebeard Pirate Group and the Roger Pirate Group screamed simultaneously. "Hahahaha, Newgate... Then see you next time!" Roger laughed, standing up. Whitebeard also rose from the deck, watching Roger's back as he stepped onto the boarding board and said with a smile, "Don't let Garp catch you."
Roger turned around and sneered, "How is that possible? I'm very strong." He flexed his arms, showing off his biceps. "Oh?" Whitebeard smiled with interest, his eyes narrowing, "But I heard you suffered a big loss at the hands of a Marine brat, and even your pants fell off?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Roger lost his footing and fell directly onto his pirate ship. "Newgate, you b*****d!! Nothing like this happened!" He gritted his teeth and climbed up, his face turning green. Whitebeard chuckled, glancing at the plastic button on Roger's belt. "It seems true."
"Damn it!! I'm not done with you today!!" Roger roared angrily, ready to draw his sword, but was hugged tightly by his crew. "Captain Roger, we have to run!! If you don't leave, Marine will surround you." Seeing Roger's flushed face as he struggled, the crew members of the Roger Pirates broke into a cold sweat.
Boom boom boom! The artillery fire became more and more intense, and the shells blasted countless columns of water on the sea. Marco, in his phoenix form, flew into the air, shooting down shells one after another. Garp's thunderous voice came from a distance: "Roger!! Don't run away!! This time you lost more than just pants!! Hahahaha!!" Roger's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "Goooooh... let's go, Roger." Whitebeard smiled and shook his head, "I'll give you a ride." As his words fell, Rayleigh immediately and decisively ordered to put away the border board.
Whitebeard turned around, staring at the two warships speeding fast on the distant sea with his deep eyes, his long golden hair fluttering in the air. On the deck of the warship, the figures of Garp and Sengoku standing on the bow gradually became clear. "It's not time to go to war with you yet, Garp, Sengoku..." Whitebeard murmured with a smile, taking a deep breath. His hands clenched into fists, and the knotted muscles on his arms protruded like rocks, crossing across his chest. "Father...couldn't be..." Marco's pupils shrank, and his face suddenly collapsed. The other crew members also hurriedly grasped the fixtures on the Moby Dick and hugged them tightly.
"Gu la la la!! Marines, I will give you a big gift!!" Whitebeard exclaimed loudly, a startling gleam in his eyes. Both fists were surrounded by a milky white halo at the same time, and then he swung heavily! Boom! The fist smashed straight into the void, and then the air made a crackling sound. Cracks visible to the naked eye appeared in the void like broken glass. The world fell silent for a moment.
Then, in the shocking eyes of Garp, Sengoku, and all the Marine elites, the sea suddenly fell into a riot! The dull roar came from the deep sea, and it continued to expand, soon becoming deafening. Boiling waves rose layer upon layer from the surface of the sea, turning into a monstrous tsunami of hundreds of kilometers, almost covering the sky and the sun. In the majestic waves and tsunami, the Oro Jackson flew directly into the sky as if thrown by a giant and soon disappeared, mixed with screams like a pig being slaughtered. The tsunami soared into the sky, and the roaring sound almost tore the sky and the earth apart.
After three full minutes, the overwhelming tsunami subsided slowly. The wreckage and debris of ships floated everywhere on the choppy sea. On the two dilapidated warships with their masts broken, the Marines were panting for the rest of their lives, their faces pale. "Damn!! They ran away again!!" Garp, who was drenched all over, looked at the empty sea and couldn't help cursing. The Oro Jackson and the Moby Dick disappeared without a trace, apparently taking advantage of the cover of the tsunami and running away. "Such a tsunami, even if the Moby Dick didn't bear the impact head-on, it would probably have suffered heavy casualties." Sengoku panted heavily and muttered with frowning eyebrows: "I just don't know where their boat will be washed away by the tsunami..." His breath was a little disordered, which was clearly a sequela from the impact of the tsunami just now. "Is this the strength of the strongest man in the world? It's really scary..." A slow voice sounded, and a dazzling golden light fell from the sky. Countless photons converged into a human form beside Sengoku. Borsolino, who was not flushed or out of breath, stroked the stubble of his chin and said with a smile. Sengoku glanced at Borsolino, who was not wet by the corner, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
At the same time, in a town on the Grand Line, ruins lay everywhere. Corpses fell to the ground in all directions, and the wreckage of buildings burned, billowing black smoke. A blood-stained military boot stepped on a fallen pirate flag. A blond young man with a strong figure and wearing a black military uniform held a pirate's neck and lifted him high in the air, his eyes arrogant and disdainful: "Is this the big pirate with a bounty of 80 million Berries?" He sneered, a look of regret flashing deep in his eyes. "It's really too weak."
Click! With a twist of his thick fingers, the pirate's neck was directly twisted, and his head shot up into the sky. Hot blood shot up from the broken neck of the corpse like a fountain, spilling traces of cruelty in the dark red sky. Blood splattered on the face of the blond youth, making the smile on his face even more ferocious. He let go of his hand and let the body fall heavily. Immediately, as if aware of something, he turned around and squinted. On the distant sea, a murderous warship was coming through the waves. "Marine?" Douglas Bullet licked the corners of his chapped mouth and said with a grin: "It's really just in time, I'm on the verge of killing..."
