The Great Swordsman of One Piece

Chapter 26 To witness the truth of the world

At dusk, Roger and his gang arrived at Albana one after another, and the rebel army and the king's army made peace.In the morning, they cleaned up the corpses of their comrades, and also cleaned up the king's palace.

Although such a big thing has happened in the country, the due etiquette is still indispensable.In the evening, the king entertained Roger and his party with a banquet in the palace.

At this time, it was raining heavily in Albana.As if to wash away all the sins that happened here.

"Speaking of the king, what is the secret that you hide in Alabasta? Why did you attract the coveted eyes of the world government?" At the banquet, Ajin asked carelessly.

"Ajin!" Bit called out to Ajin.How can such a question be asked casually?

"It's okay, the guests saved Alabasta, so it doesn't matter if you know that." Cobra was very open-minded, and they couldn't understand it anyway.

"Our country has inherited a stone tablet, which records things related to the blank 100 years. The world government wants to take that stone tablet away. If you want to see it, I can show you."

Isn't it a matter of course to honor the little plea of ​​the hero who saved the country?

"That's great!" Ah Jin said happily.

After drinking and eating, Cobra took Roger and his party to visit the historical text stele in their royal tomb.

Bit carefully studied the stele in front of him, but as expected, he couldn't understand it at all.

"Since the world government can send an espionage agency to your country for ten years to lurk for this stele, how could he give up?" Bit shook his head, thinking about other issues for Cobra.

Cobra frowned, he was also thinking about this question. "According to Bildas, the World Government is actually not sure whether we have such things in Alabasta, so they are sent here."

"It's rude, but can I add something to it?" Roger asked suddenly, turning his head to look at Cobra.

Cobra was stunned for a moment, he actually didn't want to agree, but they did owe Roger and his party a favor.

"Ah, if Mr. Roger wants to engrave this kind of characters, it's natural. And what does Mr. Roger want to engrave on it?"

"This stele is fake." Roger said with a determined face. "I want to engrave it to tell people who may see this stele in the future and happen to know some ancient characters, so as not to be deceived by the world government."

After listening to Roger's words, Cobra was stunned. Alabasta paid such a heavy price for a fake stele!

"Since this is fake, why did the world government send people to attack him! They can find out that we have a stele, but they can't find out that this stele is fake!"

Cobra gritted his teeth and said.It would be tricky enough for the world government to covet the treasures passed down from generation to generation by their royal family, but this is still a fake!
"The stele passed down from generation to generation that your country had at the beginning must be real. There is no problem with that. So, where is the real stele now?" Bit said, looking at the stele.

"The real stele must have been in the hands of the world government. I don't know when it was obtained." He answered his own question.

"As for why, it is natural to bring other people who accidentally learned about this matter to your Alabasta." Bit said as he turned around and walked out.

"Don't worry, even if this stele is real, we won't be interested in your Alabasta secrets." While speaking, Bit had already walked out of the mausoleum.

At this time Roger had written what he wanted to write on the stele, and walked out over Cobra.His words reached Cobra's ears. "Don't worry, Mr. King, we are real pirates!"

Cobra was obviously confused, what is a real pirate?Don't pirates just burn, kill and loot?

"Real pirates go out to sea for their dreams, not for other things." Rayleigh simply explained and followed Roger's footsteps out of the mausoleum.It's not appropriate to stay in someone's ancestral grave all the time.

Everyone left the mausoleum one after another and returned to the palace.Cobra was the last to leave.There was a thorn in his heart. When was the stele of their family replaced?

After an afternoon of corrections, Roger and his party basically recovered.With Nuss around, post-war repairs are much easier.Although the companions who arrived in the evening lost an afternoon of rest, they also recovered well.

The night was dark, and Bit habitually couldn't sleep.Even after going through a fierce battle during the day, he still couldn't sleep.He looked around at his sleeping companions, and quietly walked out of the room.

At the top of the palace, Carpenter looked up at the stars.Bit, who had just carried a barrel of wine from the kitchen, also came here.

"If you want to drink, find a glass yourself." Bit sat next to Carpenter, poured himself a glass with a barrel, and drank it down.

"Thank you, I don't want to drink for the time being." Carpenter rejected Bit's kindness. "Why do you want to be a pirate?"

Beetle filled his glass again. "I went to sea to become the number one swordsman in the world. As for why I am a pirate, of course it is freedom. There are too many rules in the navy."

Carpenter nodded.He once believed that the world government and the navy were synonymous with justice.But what the world government did this time completely subverted his previous concepts.

"What are you talking about the world government? Shouldn't they be the makers of the world's rules and the guardians of the alliance countries?"

Bit drank the wine one sip after another, and one sip was a glass of wine.Carpenter didn't say anything either, he was quietly waiting for Bit's answer.

"What the hell is the world government! Is the navy real justice or hypocritical justice! What do the real pirates fight for? What is the truth of the world!" Bit asked a series of questions.

"You have to find the answer by yourself. No one can tell you the truth. Everyone gives you his answer. Everyone has his own position! As I said a long time ago, studying fresh water can't save sand. The country of sand, scientific research cannot save the country of sand!"

Carpenter nodded thoughtfully. "Then can I go to sea with you? I want to use my eyes to witness the truth of this world!"

"You can tell the captain tomorrow, he will definitely agree. You are welcome in advance, new partner." Bit threw the wine glass in his hand to Carpenter, without spilling a drop of wine in it.

He picked up the barrel and touched Carpenter lightly. The two exchanged smiles and drank the wine in their hands.

"It's getting late, why don't you go to bed?" Bit asked.

"Don't sleep, I will sort out the method of preparing fresh water tonight, thanks to you Bit."

Beetle shook his head and said it was okay. "I'll drink another barrel of wine, you can do whatever you want."

　ps: After mentioning Zhaoxia, I always feel unhappy if there is no rain (～￣▽￣)～
