Daily life as a writer in the world of pirates

It is well known that the royal tombs are located in the palace complex on the west side of the palace.

However, the seemingly charming funeral complex is just an empty shell. In fact, the corpses of past kings are not among them.

The only people who followed Cobra here were Luffy, Maruko, Vivi and Nico Robin.

Wanzi naturally put her hands in front of her body, with a relaxed expression. She came here just to join in the fun. After all, it was a historical text handed down from ancient times, and she had gained a lot of experience.

Weiwei followed closely behind Kobra. Sooner or later she would know these things, so Kobra took this opportunity to show her around in advance.

Nico Robin followed behind him silently, with no inner movement visible on his face, only an occasional hint of wonder in his eyes.

The one who showed his emotions the most was Luffy. Luffy was carrying a huge wooden barrel on his back, and there was a pipe extending from the mouth of the barrel, which he held in his hand.

Luffy's eyes were full of fighting spirit. He had been rushing in the desert since he arrived in Alabasta, and finally had a chance to have a good fight!

Kobra stood in front of the main entrance of the palace, clasped his hands and bowed devoutly.

Then, pointing to one of the "sea cat"-shaped stone sculptures outside the hall, he told Weiwei: "Go and turn it!"

Weiwei nodded and used all her strength to push the stone sculpture in the counter-clockwise direction. The stone sculpture, which looked larger than a human, was actually pushed away by her, from being placed vertically to being placed horizontally.

"Click——"

A crisp sound came from under the stone sculpture. The stone sculpture froze in place and could no longer be pushed.

Three meters in front of the stone sculpture, the original ground was pulled up by two thick iron chains, revealing the huge stone steps below that could not be seen.

Nico Robin suddenly realized: "It turns out that the agency is here."

Wanzi rolled her eyes. She should have said it or not, but she had already expected it.

Cobra led Vivi at the front, Nico Robin followed closely behind, Luffy rushed down in a swagger, and Maruko dazedly landed at the end.

Cobra explained to Weiwei in a leisurely manner, not caring if anyone else heard it.

"The royal tombs are divided into Yin and Yang tombs. This is a tradition that has been left since the first generation of kings. The Yang tomb is built on the surface of the earth, and the important events that happened in each generation will be engraved in the Yang tomb; the Yin tomb is built Under the Yu Yang Tomb, it has the same layout as the Yang Tomb, but what is stored is the real corpse of the kings of the past dynasties."

"But, when I was a child, I secretly went to the mausoleum and saw the king's coffin there." Weiwei looked puzzled.

Kobra smiled and nodded her forehead: "That is of course an empty coffin. There are only the king's clothes and treasures inside. Otherwise, do you think you can sneak there and play so easily?"

Cobra continued to explain: "In addition to storing the corpses of past kings, the Tomb of the Underworld is also a secret passage. If one day, the royal family of Alabasta is in danger, they can completely leave Alabasta from here and remain anonymous from now on. It is also the last time. A way out."

The few people had walked a long way without knowing it, and finally arrived at the first door of the Tomb of the Underworld.

Kobra turned around and introduced: "Push this door open, and you will find the place where the historical text is stored."

"In fact, the preservation of historical texts has been a tradition since the first generation of kings. It has been in the royal tombs for so many years. I don't even know what is recorded on it. To me, it's The value is nothing more than the tradition left by our ancestors.”

Nico Robin nodded gently: "Sorry for disturbing their rest. Can I open it?"

Cobra nodded: "Please do so. The corpses of our ancestors are stored behind the second door. You can just study them here."

Nico Robin took a step forward and used all her strength to push open the door in front of her.

Inside the magnificent building, dozens of thick beams support a roof at least ten meters high. The walls are carved with lifelike murals, recording the changes in imperial power in Alabasta since the founding of the country. On the beams are various kinds of inscriptions. Such creatures as Alabasta's patron saint "Sea Cat", Kung Fu Turtle, Trickster Bird, and Running Duck

After a quick glance, Nico Robin was attracted by the huge square stone in the center that was three meters long, wide and high.

"It's true, this is the real historical text!"

Robin's eyes suddenly widened, and he could no longer control his excitement.

Robin stepped forward quickly and gently touched the ten pieces in front of her with her right hand. After twenty years, she finally saw the real historical text again.

Suddenly, a breeze blew from the entrance of the tomb, and a large amount of sand and dust suddenly rose up in the empty tomb, covering everyone's sight.

Wanzi immediately stood in front of Cobra and Weiwei. His hands were still in his pockets, but he was secretly on guard.

"Nico Robin, you have indeed lived up to my trust!"

A mature and deep male voice came from the mausoleum, with a proud laugh.

"Come on, tell me, what is written on this historical text?! Where is Pluto!"

The flying dust gradually turned into a vortex, flying towards the direction of the historical text, and then, in front of Nico Robin, it gathered into a familiar person - Crocodile!

Crocodile seemed to have completely healed from his injuries, wearing his signature yellow plaid tuxedo and black leather jacket, with a cigar dangling from his mouth. Although he seemed to be very close to Nico Robin in his words, in fact, his right hand was tightly squeezing Robin's neck, as if he was going to take his life if he didn't agree with her.

Nico Robin's height was 188cm, but Crocodile's height was 253cm. When Crocodile pinched Nico Robin's neck and placed it in front of him, Nico Robin's feet were already off the ground and she could hardly breathe. Get angry.

Robin tried hard with both hands to break Crocodile's hand, and replied intermittently: "Let me go, I can't read the text of history!"

Crocodile snorted and threw her to the ground hard.

The Wia belonging to Crocodile completely enveloped Nico Robin, making her feel that her life was completely out of her control.

Nico Robin took a deep breath, struggled to stand up, and began to interpret the historical text.

There was just a trace of less obvious disappointment in his eyes.

[In 221 BC, Qin conquered the six kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, and once again unified them.

In 207 BC, the Qin Dynasty fell;

In 202 BC, the Han Dynasty conquered the land and divided it into the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, which lasted 405 years;

In the 220th year of the lunar calendar, the Han Dynasty was destroyed and divided into three kingdoms]

"enough!"

[Wei, Shu and Wu were the three pillars. Later, Cao Wei was usurped by the Sima clan. In 280 of the old calendar, Sima completed the unification and was called Jin in history]

"I've said enough!"

Crocodile's expression turned ferocious.

"Nico Robin, you know what I want. Skip all these damn things. Where is Pluto? What we are looking for is one of the three most powerful ancient weapons, news about Pluto!"

The corner of Wanzi's mouth, which was hidden by her long hair, slightly curled up into a smile.

Nico Robin was unmoved: "Sorry, this historical text records the change of kingship somewhere, and there is no news about Pluto."

Crocodile suddenly strangled Nico Robin's neck again and lifted her high. His expression turned sinister, and his eyes had murderous intent.

"Hey, don't just say random things just because you are the last person in the world who can understand the text of history!"

"Tell me the real content here!"

"Like a rat in the ditch, you have been hiding for more than twenty years. Only I can give you freedom. You don't want to die here now!"

Nico Robin did not struggle this time. His hands naturally drooped and were placed on both sides of his body. His eyes were gently closed, and there was already a will to die on his face.

"Perhaps I should have died with O'Hara twenty years ago."

"This is not the history I want. I shouldn't have another chance to see the text of history."

"You do it."

Crocodile's hand gradually tightened, and a trace of cruelty flashed across his eyes.

"Let go of Robin!" Luffy's roar came with his fist, hitting Crocodile directly on the right side of his face.

The power of being able to break stones with one punch is so terrifying. As a result, Crocodile, who was completely defenseless, was sent flying several meters away and hit hard against the wall of the mausoleum.

Nico Robin was able to escape and coughed hard while leaning on the text of history.

She was pinched and lifted twice in a short period of time, and a circle of obvious bruises immediately appeared on her neck.

Maruko's voice continued to appear in Robin's mind: "Did you really not want to live just now?"

Robin lowered his head and said nothing, his attitude said everything.

Wanzi suddenly laughed.

"It seems that this historical text really contains news about Pluto."

"But I have one thing to correct you. If you follow Luffy, you will definitely be able to see the text of history again."

There was a distance between Nico Robin and Wanzi, so she couldn't ask directly. She just turned her head and looked at Wanzi with doubtful eyes.

"Hey, live on." Maruko said, "Follow Luffy on his adventures. I think you will definitely encounter the historical text again. If you like it, I can help you print it."

"Believe me, although I am not very lucky, my intuition is quite accurate."

Maruko smiled as brightly as Luffy at Robin.

Robin smiled and said nothing, hiding his true emotions again.

Luffy, who carried the big wooden barrel and truly fought his last battle, showed an absolute strength that was completely different from the last battle when facing Crocodile.

Although Crocodile's fruit abilities are powerful, his physical training is far inferior to Luffy's. Moreover, his fruit abilities and weaknesses are too obvious!

Perhaps due to the grief of years of hard work being wasted, Crocodile's fight was particularly ferocious.

In the end, he actually gave up his advantage and fought with Luffy to the point of physical violence, completely looking for abuse.

The battle between the two fruit ability users also caused serious damage to the mausoleum. Each beam was knocked down and huge stones fell from the ceiling, all indicating that the mausoleum could not hold on for much longer.

Watching Kobra's face gradually stiffen, Wanzi covered his forehead helplessly.

They have demolished the palace where their ancestors lived. How can we let our ancestors rest in peace like this?

"Hey - Luffy, we need to finish the battle quickly, this place is about to collapse." Maruko reminded vaguely.

Luffy and Crocodile, who were full of enthusiasm, pretended not to hear it at all, and instead became even more indifferent.

Luffy wiped the blood from his mouth: "Hey--you should be serious!"

Crocodile fell into his own emotions: "I planned for five years, spent all my money and experience to get here, and in the end, the goal didn't exist at all!"

Luffy: "Pirates have to defeat their enemies on their own, so why are they looking for Pluto? Pluto can't transform, so it's not fun at all!"

"Kid, what do you know!" Crocodile's eyes were red, "Pluto is the most vicious and destructive super warship in the world. With it, even the navy trembles!"

"But, don't pirates just want to take risks on the sea? Why should the navy be afraid?" Luffy was puzzled.

Crocodile was choked for a moment and blurted out: "With Hades, we can defeat Whitebeard, defeat the Four Emperors, and become the real Pirate King!"

Luffy shook his head: "No, that's Pluto's Pirate King, not your Pirate King!"

"you--"

Crocodile was so angry that he had a heart attack, and all the injuries from Luffy's blow were aroused. He spit out a mouthful of blood, couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to the ground.

The rockfall in the mausoleum has reached its worst level, and it is about to collapse.

Wanzi picked up Kobra with his left hand and Weiwei with his right hand, and quickly ran up the falling boulders.

"Luffy, Robin and Crocodile are left to you!"

Luffy pursed his lips and said helplessly: "I know!"
