Chapter 380 Demons Will Grow Out of Human Desires

In the world of pirates there is a legend, or more accurately a rule.

If a pirate wants to become the Pirate King, he does not need to be powerful or powerful, but he must conquer the Grand Route and reach the final island of Rafdru.

For hundreds of years, only one fleet led by Roger has arrived in Rafdru, and he has become the recognized pirate king in the entire sea.

And now, there is actually a guy who is not even a pirate who is looking for Rafdru?

At the Navy Headquarters, Admiral Akainu's face was full of clouds, and he said in a deep voice: "From the beginning! From the time in Wano Country, I said that the guy who forced Kizaru to retreat is no different from a lawless pirate, and a wanted order should be issued. He is wanted!"

"Don't talk about this matter anymore." Warring States said with a slightly sad expression: "I have always completed the communication with him personally, and the navy's strategy for dealing with him is also decided by me alone. If it really creates irreparable consequences, I will take the initiative to resign as marshal and take responsibility for my crimes!”

"Sengoku, are you sure that he is looking for Rafdru?" He asked.

Warring States nodded and said: "After they went to the red-haired territory, the troops split into two groups. Holo went to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms alone to fight against Charlotte Lingling and her children. Now the pirate emperor Xia is confirmed. Death of Lotte Lingling.

Hawkeye and the others borrowed a large ship from Red Hair and boarded the Elephant Master's Kingdom Zowu. The two parties later met at Whitebeard's place. Their goals were very clear, and the road sign was the text of history!

He didn't hide his tracks at all, and he couldn't completely hide it from us. Although... I still can't figure out what motivation he had to go to Loughdrew, but he has collected three historical texts of road signs, and even collected them all. Going to Loughdrew is an unmistakable fact! "

He looked around and said: "The world government requires us to prepare for war with all our strength. The revolutionary army, red hair, and white beard all have more or less friendship with Holo. Next, we may be facing the biggest war in history." A tough war!"

"It's so scary~" Kizaru sighed.

"War?" Aoki asked: "Where and how the war will take place? By the way, I remember you said, Marshal Sengoku, that before he left, he said he would come to the Navy Headquarters. We..."

"How can you believe his words at this time?!" Akainu interrupted dissatisfiedly: "It is impossible for him to come to the Navy headquarters and throw himself into a trap. We should immediately deploy manpower on the tidal island."

"That...is not necessarily true." Qing Zhi said.

Akainu frowned, but heard Sengoku say: "It's not necessarily certain, I have a hunch that he will come. But...be prepared. The CP intelligence organization will keep an eye on the movements of the Jolo Merchant Group and Tide Island. We Then guard the gate of the new world and wait for him to leave from that sea area.

Lafdru is not so easy to find, otherwise Roger will not be the only one to succeed in hundreds of years. Things may not develop to the worst state. The top priority is to find out Holo's thoughts and demands, and why he went to Lafdrew.

Ever since he defeated Charlotte Lingling and Kaido, his reputation is not inferior to that of the Pirate King. There is no reason for him to act for this title, and the big secret treasure may not be very attractive to him. There must be something that we have overlooked. Got it! "

What was overlooked?

Is it Nico Robin? Qing Zhi murmured to himself, but also denied that, no, a man with that kind of domineering look will not be affected by other people, and the cost of the decisions he makes should be borne by himself.

why?

With doubts, the navy arranged operations.

…

the reason is simple.

A visit to the Pirate World wouldn't be complete without a visit to Lafdru.

The information about the holy land of Mariejoia Im should also be obtained from there. Ji Xing needs to collect starlight and climb to Mariejoia again, so Im is the only opponent he is uncertain about.

And so far, there is no record of Devil Fruit on the historical stone tablets he has seen. He feels that if that thing is recorded, it will probably only be in Lafdru!

Ji Xing stood on the bow of the ship and looked up at the sky amidst the sound of raindrops hitting the deck.

Suddenly he drew his sword and slashed. The sharp sword light neatly cut the falling raindrops in half. They fell as if in slow motion and met a purple thunderbolt that fell from the sky, stimulating a dazzling aurora and reflecting the white sky. Half the sky!

This was already the third day into the second half of the journey into the new world. The weather was becoming increasingly weird. Hail and frost were just childish. The most dangerous one was that their ship even encountered a 'thunderstorm'.

It's not the kind of thunder and rain, but thunder falling like rain, a bit like the 'Lightning Storm' built when playing Red Alert. The combination of Ji Xing and Hawkeye can withstand the power of nature.

The current situation is childish.

"Three o'clock! Full rudder!"

In the cabin, the voice of Navigator Scolera came out, directing the direction of the ship.

Ji Xing looked around and said: "Wait a minute! The magnetic field here is very chaotic, which makes the magnetic field of our body also confused. The direction we think is not necessarily the correct direction. Give me the chart, Skellera !”

"Ah, Boss Holo." The thin middle-aged man quickly ran out in the rain with a chart.

Ji Xing casually waved his sword again, then took over the chart to review and find his position.

After getting four rubbings of the historical text of the road sign, Ji Xing first determined the location of Ravdrew - it was indeed not on sea level.

Think about it, if it is just four islands on the sea level connected in a line, there is no need to find four coordinates at all. Three of them are connected into a triangle. If you sail along the three sides of the triangle, you will always find it.

Even if you are luckier, you can find it by just finding two coordinates and sailing in the center!

Even if it is difficult to interpret historical texts, just like Big Mom trained Pulin, a three-eyed tribe, the pirates will always find a way. Nowadays, only Robin and Ji Xing can read historical texts, and there may be some Celestial Dragons, but there will be no shortage of people who can decipher a small amount of ancient texts.

The reason why only four signposts can be found in Raftel is because two of the islands are one in the sky and one in the sea!

Sky Island Victoria and Undersea Ruins Island.

The four islands are connected on the sea chart to construct a spatial model and determine the center point, which is the exact coordinates of Raftel!

Ji Xing also learned to read the charts during the past three years. He quickly pointed his finger at the chart: "It's northwest, ten o'clock!"

This was just a small difficulty and episode on the voyage. Along the way, they encountered horrible disasters that could take lives, such as the whirlpool, the 16-level sea storm, and the attack of the sea king.

These natural disasters were overcome by Ji Xing. It was not until they were about to reach the last island before Raftel, Shuixianxing Island, that the ship inevitably lost personnel.

Abe and Xavier were sick.

"Ahem, boss, I..." Lying on the bed with a tired face, Abe said in a guilty tone: "I'm sorry, I'm dragging everyone down again."

"It's okay. The fuel you provided has helped a lot along the way. The remaining fuel reserves are enough to cope with the next voyage." Ji Xing comforted and looked at the doctor Tiffy.

Tifi shook his head, a little confused, "They both look like colds, but... they don't look like colds. The symptoms of the two people are exactly the same. They look like poisoning... but they are not."

"I understand."

Jixing remembered that when Roger's pirate group was about to arrive at Raftel, Buggy fell ill, causing him and the red-haired man who took care of him not to board the final island.

Was it the devil fruit factor? He looked back at Robin. Robin was fine. Was it because Robin had awakened the devil fruit under my guidance?

The unawakened devil fruit and the awakened devil fruit are completely different in human expression, just like Jixing's body in the Demon Continent, the difference between the DNA state of the ring chain and the state of the ring chain fusion that surpasses the ordinary demon god hunter.

The two patients could no longer withstand the wind and waves, and even the doctor Tifi and a helmsman had to disembark at Shuixianxing Island to take care of them.

The 13-person ship was reduced to 9 people and continued their last voyage.

After sailing for another four days following the sea chart, the wind and waves on the sea suddenly disappeared. They seemed to have entered a doldrums, and the sea was filled with deathly silence.

It seemed that they were the only ship left in the world. Ji Xing's powerful observation color explored the deep sea, but he couldn't find even a fish.

Only occasionally, one or two broken ship wreckages would float by, adding to the weirdness of the environment.

"There is a feeling of being unable to breathe." Robin stood beside Ji Xing and said, "But this also means that we are almost there."

"Yeah." Ji Xing nodded and shouted, "Helmsman, pay attention to the current! The sea water here seems to be motionless, but in fact it pushes us forward and makes us fall back, so that we stay in place! It's just that there is no reference, and the turn is too calm, so it's hard to detect.

If you go with the flow, you will only stay here for a hundred years. Control the fuel left by Abe, and accelerate when you go downstream!"

"Got it, Boss Holo!"

Next, the ship moved forward one by one, and sailed in this strange and quiet sea for another two days. They finally saw a continent in the distance-the Red Soil Continent!

Starting from the Four Seas, you will see a red earth continent when you enter the Grand Line, which is the Upside-Down Mountain.

When you enter the New World, you will see another red earth continent, which is the holy land of Marijoa.

When you see the red earth continent for the third time, it means that they are close to Raftel!

At the same time, the sea water near the red earth continent suddenly broke, and fell down with a roar, and a seawater waterfall suddenly appeared on the sea, which violated human common sense.

But the Grand Line does not follow common sense. Compared with the waterfall in Wano Country that goes upside down, it is not outrageous to have a waterfall in the sea.

"The gravity field ahead is distorted, and there is no problem with normal driving." Ji Xing said before the crew screamed: "Full rudder! Towards the waterfall!"

Soon, the ship was suspended high in the air and fell into the bottomless abyss below, but in the weird gravity environment, it maintained a relatively stable speed!

"This is... the power of the awakening of the gravity fruit? Raftel is indeed man-made." Ji Xing leaned on the bow and observed left and right.

The others were all surprised to feel the scene as if they were in space.

Until the ship landed on the ground, a small island covered by a faint mist appeared in everyone's eyes!

Everyone rushed to the front of the deck, except Ji Xing, Hawkeye, and Robin, all blinking their eyes, looking dazed as if they were dreaming.

"Is that Raftel?!"

"Are we really here?"

"Just like that... we found it?"

Two years ago, Jin Xiao was still a small pirate with a bounty of 58 million. Before this voyage, he didn't even think that he would have the opportunity to take a peek at the treasure of the Pirate King!

Others are similar. Who would have thought that after joining a business group, one day, the boss would suddenly come to talk to them and say that they were going to Rafdru to get the One Piece, the treasure left by the Pirate King?

And I actually found it all the way!

Who among the young men on the sea has not had a longing for that legendary island? !

Even just looking at it is not a waste of time!

"Indeed, the journey seems dangerous, but in fact, except for the sick Abe and the others, we have been very relaxed..." Robin said with emotion: "Is this the strongest power in the world?"

"Don't flatter me. No one can stop me. The four road signs have been gathered together. I will lead the team myself, and Hawkeye will assist me. It will be strange that we can't get to Rafdrew." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go together. Look what’s on that island!”

After descending the waterfall, there was no wind and waves in the sea area of ​​​​Lavdru. The ship moved forward smoothly and docked little by little by the island.

Lovedrew welcomes its second batch of visitors!

The island has a pleasant climate, the birds are chirping and the flowers are fragrant, as if you are in the middle of the sea, and the wind and waves are forgotten.

A group of nine people, headed by Ji Xing, walked towards the depths of the island on the green grass.

The island is not big, and Ji Xing can basically absorb all of his knowledge, and he is also certain that there is no life here except plants.

But there are some huge ruins.

Just like a city where giants live, the dilapidated buildings make them look very small.

‘Is it an island cut off from the giant kingdom Elbaf? Very powerful. ’

Ji Xing recorded everything in his eyes, gradually came to a position near the center of the island, and saw a stone tablet hundreds of meters long across the ground!

A very huge historical text monument!

Robin looked moved, and immediately quickened his pace, and said quickly: "Sure enough, Holo, this is the general outline of the historical text, the most critical one. It records the location of the other 25 historical text stone tablets at the beginning! If those are not If it’s moved away, we’ll find it next!”

"I saw it." Ji Xing stepped forward and said behind him: "Eagle Eye, you can't understand this thing, and you probably don't have much interest in it. Take everyone elsewhere to look for the big secret treasure, and be careful. If If you want to know the history, I’ll tell you later.”

Hawkeye nodded and dispersed to the surroundings with the others who could no longer hold back.

Ji Xing is reading the stone tablet with his eyes straight.

After the general outline, there is the opening chapter.

The first sentence is:

‘Demons breed in human desires! ’

'In the 555th year of the celestial calendar, the most powerful technological creation in the Kingdom of God was born. They call it the Fruit of God, but I prefer to call it...Devil Fruit! ’

Ji Xing's expression was slightly shaken, should he go directly to the topic? The origin of Devil Fruit is indeed recorded here, and it is indeed a technological creation.

‘That special machine uses human desires as its main material, allowing us to gain the power of God.

Each devil fruit represents the direction that humans want to evolve, strong winds, earthquakes, lava, lightning, beasts...'

‘But our desires are absorbed by it, our needs are satisfied by it, and while we gain that divine power, we also lose a lot.

Empty, confused.

We lose our smiles and joy.

I want to bring laughter to everyone again, but I am only half successful. King who has inherited my will and strength, you must succeed! I leave you the greatest treasure! Ha ha ha ha……'

These few lines of text belong to the preface, but they have already brought a lot of information to Ji Xing.

The main ingredient for making devil fruits is human desire? Its ultimate effect comes from the direction that humans want to evolve? Is this science plus metaphysics?

No, this should be similar to the will-forged sword and my demon blade!

In the world of pirates, human will and belief are originally an extremely powerful force.

But creating a Devil Fruit with desire has side effects. The artificial Devil Fruit Smile makes people only have an expression of laughter, but making a real Devil Fruit will make people lose the emotion of laughter?

Joyboy joyboy, happy boy.

Nika Fruit Luffy, the louder the laugh, the more powerful he will be.

Well, it’s all symmetrical!

"Huh?" At this moment, a loud nasal voice belonging to Hawkeye suddenly came from the distance.

Ji Xing looked sideways and saw that Hawkeye was holding a strange object like a large trumpet in his hands and observing it carefully. Seeing Ji Xing's eyes, he put down the trumpet and said: "It has a very delicate structure and looks a bit old. It was left by the Pirate King." Is it a microphone? There may be something important recorded in it, but I don’t know how to activate it.”

Ji Xing looked back at the stone tablet again.

‘King who has inherited my will and strength, you must succeed! I leave the biggest treasure to you, hahahaha...'

The louder the laughter, the more powerful it is.

Ji Xing laughed: "Put it away first, that thing might be One Piece!"

Um? Hawkeye was startled and looked down at the speaker.

One Piece? That's it?

Ji Xing continued to interpret the remaining words.

It records a war that started more than 800 years ago, records the origin, rise and destruction of that powerful Kingdom of God, and records the foundation and identity of Im!

"So that's it..."

Demons indeed breed in human desires.
