Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

"I didn't expect there to be ancient ruins in a place like this!?" Xia Qi sighed as he looked at this scene.

Locks' eyes were keenly aware that this building seemed to be equipped with many weapons, and he immediately took out the Dark Moon Knife.

"Be careful. Most of the ancient ruins will have protection measures. Although I don't know if this ruin is still functioning, we must not be careless."

Without waiting for the crew to respond, the previous voice sounded again:

"Don't worry, the weapons here can't be opened because they have lost their energy. Even if I am communicating with you now... I have almost consumed the last energy core."

A blurry projection appeared in front of everyone. They could only vaguely see that it was a woman, but her appearance could not be seen.

The crew members all hurriedly took out their weapons, but Rocks seemed very calm and said in a deep voice:

"So, what exactly do you want to do by asking the sea beast to bring us here?"

As the words fell, the female projection pointed towards the open space aside. As if it had received her order, the sea beast took in a large mouthful of sea water and then sprayed it towards the corner of the ruins.

A red cube stone tablet gradually emerged.

"This is!?"

"This is the text that records the coordinates of a certain island. There are four blocks in total. According to the instructions above, you can find our former research base. The answers to many things are left there."

"Is this what you want us to help with? To go to that research base?" Rocks frowned slightly. He thought that Roger had not become the Pirate King at this time, and the so-called great secret treasure should not exist, but now it seems , the big secret treasure seems to have little to do with Roger, but he seems to be a guide.

The female projection nodded:

"Although many of the people who fought against the foreigners died on the battlefield, some of them stayed. And now they have begun to have taboo ideas, so we must find a way to stop them."

"What taboo?"

The female projection was silent for a moment, and finally shook her head:

"Sorry, there is no answer to this question in my data. Maybe the person who created me doesn't want this secret to be revealed. I can only know that something exists, and I don't know the specific answer."

Rocks curled his lips, this feeling of pretentiousness was really unpleasant.

However, this red cube gave him a very familiar feeling. It seemed that there was one in Alabasta, a country in the desert. However, Rocks had never thought about finding any big secret treasures in these years, so there was no I took the initiative to find these historical documents.

I didn't expect to encounter this situation now.

"Although being a pirate does require you to explore some treasure maps, what's going on with this inexplicable discomfort?"

Locks lowered his head and said nothing, thinking constantly in his mind, and finally chose to agree to this request.

After all, he also wanted to find out what the mysterious treasure was. When he thought that that thing was probably not left by Roger, but by his predecessors hundreds of years ago, his curiosity became even more intense. Big.

Seeing that Rocks was willing to accept his request, an imperceptible smile appeared on the face of the female projection.

"Thank you. This child will help you transport the stone slabs to the sea. As for the rest... I can only rely on you."

As he spoke, the female projection began to flicker, and it seemed that the energy was no longer enough.

"I'm sorry. I originally asked for your help and should pay some compensation in advance, but my energy is almost exhausted and I can't find the nearest... treasure... on the island... there is..."

Before she could finish speaking, the projection disappeared, leaving only a strange-looking instrument embedded in the gate of the ruins. As the energy was exhausted, the instrument fell from the gate.

Locks looked at this scene and hesitated for a moment, then said to the murlocs on the side:

"Can you bring that instrument over for me?"

The fish people looked at each other and nodded.

Afterwards, several fishmen passed through the ship's membrane and came to the sea, bringing this fist-sized instrument onto the ship.

Just as the female projection said, the sea beast did not launch any attack on the fleet. Instead, after she disappeared, she held the red slate in her mouth and followed the fleet.

"Thank you."

Rocks took the instrument. Although the sea water made him feel a little tired, it didn't have much impact. He held the instrument in front of his eyes and observed it carefully. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything in his opinion, so he could only keep it for later. I’ll analyze it again when I have a chance.

"Let's go, it's time to leave. I don't know if there will be any other dangers if I continue to stay."

The longer you stay in this deep sea, the easier it is to run into trouble. Fortunately, the existence of this sea beast seems to make many underwater creatures fearful, and they do not get too close.

……

After spending a lot of time, the fleet finally crossed the deep sea and returned to the surface of the sea, breathing fresh air again.

"Is this the sea area of ​​​​the New World? It's not a big deal at the moment."

The ship's membrane ruptured and the fleet gathered together again. Shiji stood on the deck and muttered casually.

However, before he finished speaking, the originally clear sky suddenly became thunderous, and the sea water was blown up by the strong wind.

"In the future, don't call your move a lion. Instead, call it a crow, crow's mouth."

Rocks glared at Shiji angrily before giving the order to the fleet to prepare for departure.Although the sea is rough, it does not pose a threat.

The sea beast vomited the red slate on the deck where Rocks was riding, and then dived back to the bottom of the sea.

Locks could feel the ship sinking significantly.

"So heavy?"

When he subconsciously wanted to touch the stone slab, he suddenly felt that his body was drained of strength.

"Hmm...this is...Hailou Stone!?"

And looking at the effect, I'm afraid the entire stone slab is made of high-purity sea floor stone, otherwise Rocks's strength would not cause such a serious loss of force at the moment of contact.

"Captain, are you all right?"

The crew members were all startled by Rocks' reaction. Rocks shook his head and said:

"It's okay, it's just that this slate is caused by the sea tower stone that can restrain devil fruits. People with abilities on the ship should not touch it."

Upon hearing this, the ability users closest to the slate subconsciously moved away from the slate. Didn't you see that even the captain couldn't touch it?Then they would probably collapse to the ground on the spot!

"What should I do with this thing now?" Xia Qi walked up to the stone slab and stretched out his hand to knock it. Made of such high-purity seastone, ordinary people cannot destroy it. It is probably impossible to cut it into pieces and take it away.

"Don't worry for now. Didn't that guy say that there are four such stone slabs in total? It won't be of much use until they are all found. Besides, who of you can decipher what's on it?"

The words engraved on the stone slab belong to ancient texts from hundreds of years ago. Although Rocks once read some books in O'Hara, unfortunately, he has no knowledge in this area. Maybe Liz can do something?

However, when Rocks called Liz to the deck, the latter said that the writing on the stone tablets was not among the writings she had studied before, and I am afraid those scholars have not recorded the relevant content now.

You must know that O'Hara scholar taught Liz as a junior. Liz also took the opportunity to read the translated texts on the island, but there was no relevant record on the stone tablets.

"It seems that we can only find opportunities in the future to ask those scholars to help translate?"

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Rocks' mind. Could it be that this is the reason why O'Hara will be destroyed in the future?

No, considering this, Rocks can't bring the stone slab to O'Hara. Although he doesn't know whether the World Government will destroy O'Hara like the original show because of the existence of this thing, Rocks is not willing to take the gamble. .

"Put the slate in the warehouse first, and wait until we have the opportunity to see how to dispose of it."

"Yes!"

The crew members on the ship who had not eaten the Devil Fruit worked together to transport the stone slab into the warehouse. With the size of Rocks' fleet, this stone slab could be accommodated.

Locks doesn't plan to go into details about the historical text at the moment. After all, he has his own destination for this action.
