Chapter 299
In the underground ruins, Lin Tian and Chopper wiped all the dust on the stone carvings, and this Poneglyph finally appeared in front of everyone.
“Hey, I seem to have seen this kind of text before. I have read it in a book before. It’s very old.” Staring at the text in front of him, Chopper suddenly said such a sentence.
Lin Tian and Zoro were both stunned, especially Lin Tian, according to the World Government’s rules of conduct at the time, even the Holy Land of countless scholars in the world dared to destroy and slaughter countless famous scholars.
There is Robin who can escape. It was the desperate guardian of a Marine Vice Admiral that year. In the end, Kuzan softened his heart and let Robin live, but now even Chopper can recognize it.
Although Zoro doesn’t gossip, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have curiosity. The above content can make Lin Tian so shocked, so one can imagine what shocking things are recorded.
He asked: “What is recorded on it, can you translate it?”
Shook the head, Chopper pointed to the above pattern and said, “No, I just saw it in the book, but if I were to translate this, there is no way.”
Hearing this, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. It seemed that Chopper had only seen the relevant records. After all, no matter how powerful the World Government is, it is impossible to disappear all the records.
Especially that weirdo old woman, who has lived for more than one hundred and thirty years, the ghost knows how many legends she has witnessed, how many eras she has witnessed.
“Well, don’t worry about what it says, you can’t know it currently.” Lin Tian said aloud, patting the two on the shoulders.
Hearing this, the two nodded. Since they can’t get in touch, don’t think too much about it. You will naturally know when you need to know.
“However, we still have to find a way to get out quickly, otherwise it will be even harder to find Nami and the others,” Zoro turned around and looked at Luffy lying underground.
Holding his hands around his knees, Luffy is rolling on the ground and say: “No, no… I don’t want to go out, it’s so hot outside, so cool inside.”
……
At night, the people who sailed, after several days of sailing, finally arrived at the destination of a group of people, the Emirates!
But the oasis that Vivi said was different. Before they even reached the city, they could see the sky filled with yellow sand infesting it, and the whole city was submerged in sandstorm.
Even if you are outside the city, you can clearly feel the violent wind. Everyone had to cover their whole body, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.
The oasis in Vivi’s mouth was covered by sandstorms at this time, giving everyone a bad premonition, always feeling that this time, things are about to change.
When the storm slowly dissipated, the people, led by Vivi, cautiously entered the city.
After all, this is the emirates, the gathering place of the rebels. There are more than 700,000 rebels here. Everyone has to be careful to protect the princess Vivi.
But when everyone walked inside, they found that this oasis city was actually no different from the previous arrival in Erumalu. Everywhere was buried by yellow sand, which could barely expose half of the houses.
The entire oasis city, in some respects, has become a ruin, and there is no one, let alone the 700,000 rebels.
Zoro looked at Usopp and sighed: “It’s really miserable. It’s no different from Erumalu.”
Luffy, who was thirsty for a long time, didn’t care so much. He looked into the distance and asked, “Is there any water?”
Looking at the foreground, the one hurt the most is Vivi, this oasis city also disappeared from here under the erosion of the desert.
The most important thing is that the rebel army that was there is gone, and now they can’t find the leader of the rebel army, which means this plan has failed.
Even if they wait for them to confirm the new location of the rebellion, I am afraid that the war would have already begun by then, so there is no point in doing so much by themselves.
Discovering the strangeness in Vivi, Lin Tian naturally understood what was thinking in her mind, and when he was about to give a voice of comfort, several strange noises sounded.
Everyone looked at each other, didn’t say much, went directly to the source of the sound, didn’t take a few steps, just saw an old man digging down with a shovel in a big hole, the purpose was obvious.
Aware that someone was coming, he still continued to sit on his own business and asked, “Oh my, are you travelers? Are you tired from the desert trip? I’m sorry, this city is already deserted. If you want a hotel, how many rooms do you want? There are a few rooms, this is the best place in the city.”
Looking at the scene in front of them and the words in it, everyone became silent for a while. Tears flowed uncontrollably when their noses were sore, and they quickly wiped them off with their hands.
Covering her face, Vivi asked, “Excuse me, are the rebels in this city?”
Hearing this, the old man stopped and stared at Vivi closely, blood dripping from his eyes, and his heart was extremely angry.
“Why are you looking for the rebel army, you should not plan to join the rebel army…”
“No, no. It’s like this-“
After listening to Lin Tian’s explanation…
The old man finally stopped, and he moved closer to whisper, “Those idiots are already not in this city. This city was attacked by the sandstorm just now, but it’s not something that has just started now,…”
Maybe Vivi and Toto’s The reunion was very touching, but it was the old man who really moved everyone; his trust in Vivi’s father, and his persistence for this country.
Everyone is silent, but there is a silent sigh in their hearts. Now everyone really understands what kind of environment this country is facing.
The old citizen turns out to be an old friend of Vivi’s, Toto. Here, we learn of their past together along with his son and her friend, Koza, who is currently the leader of the Rebel Army. He gives the Straw Hats a place to sleep and also digs up a gallon of water in the night.
……
The next day, after spending a night in the Emirates, everyone is ready to embark on a real journey again!
Just stepping out of the emirates, not far away, Luffy just got down next to a dead tree, letting go his hands from the back of his head.
Seeing that something happened to Luffy suddenly, everyone hurriedly stopped, Usopp shouted, “Hey, Luffy, what are you idiot doing?”
Vivi got down from the camel and asked in confusion, “What happened Luffy?”
There was a long silence, and three words came out of Luffy’s mouth. “Don’t do it.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, with puzzled faces on their faces. You said that you are good, how come you suddenly said this, and you are preparing to make a temper.
Only Lin Tian seemed to understand something, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly, without saying much, he sat down directly on the ground, crossed his hands, closed his eyes seemingly very calm.
Before everyone could ask, Lin Tian had already spoken, “I’m just a deputy. I’m listening to the captain’s order, that’s what I’m doing.”
Everyone’s faces were shocked, and they looked at the two people, moving around, completely unable to understand what they were about to do suddenly.
Suddenly, Zoro did it, holding the three swords in his hand, and whispered: “I’m the same, everything is up to the captain, what he says is what he says.”
Seeing all three people like this, Nami was upset, thrusting her waist in and cursing, “Idiot, what are you three bastards doing, get up quickly!”
Suddenly, the silent Luffy exclaimed excitedly. “I want to defeat Crocodile! Even if I stop those rebellious people, can I still stop Crocodile by then? It’s useless even if we arrive there because we’re pirates. It would be better not to go.”
Sanji standing on the side, embracing his hands, said in a deep voice, “Although this guy has no brain, he sometimes hits the nail on the head.”
He stopped Vivi with a loud voice, “You don’t want anyone to die in this war, the people of the country, and our people, but our opponent is the Seven Warlords, and 1 million people are about to riot, you still have hope everyone is safe and sound, isn’t it too naive?”
Although Lin Tian doesn’t want to talk about these things at this time, there are some things that Vivi must face.
“Vivi, remember that all your actions are related to the lives of these 1 million people. There’s nothing perfect in this world. Some things must be chosen. Whether in the future or in the past, your choice now determines 1 million lives, but in the future, when you are in charge of this country, your every move will not be as simple as millions of lives. Even this country has the potential to change the world.”
Lin Tian’s words is like bell knocking on Vivi’s heart, tearing the layer of cloth fiercely in her heart, so that the wound in her heart appears under the scorching sun.
“Hey, Luffy, Lin Tian, you two should pay attention to Vivi’s mood!” Nami couldn’t stand it, and the two of them did so and spoke out.
Clenching her fist, Vivi said excitedly, “I just don’t want people to die, what’s wrong with that?”
“People are going to die!”
Luffy’s words completely angered Vivi. She rushed forward and knocked Luffy out with a punch and he fell to the sand.
“Shut up, you’re not allowed to say such things! If you say that again, I won’t let it go! Aren’t we stopping that tragedy from happening now? Whether it’s the rebel army or the king, the army is not wrong, everything is Crocodile’s fault!”
Luffy got up and jumped, rushing up, and when he was about to knock Vivi to the ground, Lin Tian suddenly appeared and blocked Luffy’s fist.
Facing Luffy’s gaze, Lin Tian shook his head and turned back to look at Vivi, “In fact, in your heart, you want to beat Crocodile the most out of everyone here. But now, you are faced with two choices, whether to stop the insurgents first, or beat Crocodile flying. It’s just that you’re afraid, even if you really deal with Crocodile, it may not be able to stop the war in time. Stopping the war will not solve the root cause, but as a future ruler of this country, this must be experienced.”
Speaking of the back, Lin Tian has become serious. This kind of choice is something that a decision maker must learn.
wu wu wu … Vivi covered her face and cried loudly, “But what kind of choice do I have?! What else can I do?!”
Withdrawing his arm, Luffy shouted loudly: “Yes! Since you have blocked one of us with your life, then we should too, as we are your partners!”
“Vivi, yes, Luffy is right, I will put my life on it.”
“For the beautiful Young Lady Vivi not to cry, I am willing to do anything.”
“I… I am the great sea warrior Usopp… how can I be afraid of trifling Seven Warlords.”
“Since the captain said so, I just follow the order. I also want to try Seven Warlords. Is it all as strong as that man?”
“Although I can’t help much, But I will work hard, Vivi.”
“Everyone!!”
