Chapter 112 Reading the Newspaper by Old Sha
Sky, on the Black Whale.
Kuroro lay on the deck sun lounger, silently looking at the Navy Daily in his hands.
[Due to Chrollo, the captain of the Phantom Pirates, causing numerous casualties through rampant looting in Alabasta, his bounty has been increased to 10 billion.]
This message didn't elicit much of a reaction from Kuroro. Since there were native Hunter World members who had escaped from the Black Whale ship in the Navy, his bounty increase was only a matter of time.
He was focused on the comment below this news article.
Former Shichibukai Crocodile attacked King Cobra of Alabasta, resulting in Cobra's death. Alabasta is currently in mourning. In accordance with Cobra's wishes, the throne has been passed to his daughter, Nefertari Vivi.
Kuroro entered the [Four-Dimensional Apartment] and stared into thought as he looked at Crocodile locked in his apartment room. Who?
Did Old Sha kill Cobra?
Old Sha is currently reading the newspaper with him in his apartment room!
What do you think of Lao Sha?
Kuroro handed him the newspaper.
Crocodile knows a great deal about the secrets of this world, so Chrollo wants to extract some information from him.
Crocodile, bound by thick chains, stared at the newspaper, then looked up with a disdainful sneer: "Hmph, what else can you say? It's obvious, just a World Government conspiracy."
Kuroro nodded. "I think so too~"
Then a question flashed through my mind.
He clearly remembered that, according to the original story, Cobra's death should have occurred two years later, during the World Government's World Conference, when he was killed by Im and the Five Elders for foolishly revealing that his ancestor Nefit D. Lily had left behind a secret letter.
"What caused Cobra's death to occur two years earlier than expected?"
"
Cobra was unlike any ordinary king; he carried the burden of the original twenty Nefit D.
The name of Lily's descendants.
It can be said that his premature death will have a certain impact on the entire world order.
It is certain that Cobra's premature death was related to the occurrence of these traveler misfortunes.
"Could there be a traitor within the World Government who escaped from the Blackfish?"
"What are you muttering about?" Old Sha looked at Kuroro's face, puzzled.
"No need for you to worry about that."
"One last question for you: how did you learn that there might be clues about Hades in Alabasta?" Kuroro narrowed his eyes.
Old Sha must know something...
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to say things like "seize Hades and build the strongest kingdom."
Kuroro suspects that Crocodile has some knowledge of the "Great Kingdom," a highly advanced civilization that disappeared into the annals of history 800 years ago.
He may even have some intelligence about it.
Crocodile fell silent for a moment.
"You won't tell, huh? I have plenty of ways to make you talk~"
With a smile, Chrollo opened the prison cell door, and Pakunoda, dressed in a uniform, walked in gracefully. Chrollo gently placed his hand on Pakunoda's body, and after borrowing his power, he grinned wickedly and slowly extended his hand towards Crocodile.
We don't know what Kuroro obtained, but we do know that after walking out the door... Kuroro's face showed endless confusion and doubt.
Behind him... only Crocodile and the newspaper remained alone in the room.
On the deck, unlike the Straw Hat crew in the original story, Robin's boarding did not cause much of a stir.
No one cared about Robin's past, nor whether she was truly the devil's child as the bounty stated, and they accepted her very easily.
.
After all, everyone on this ship was once a wicked villain...
In their simple mindset, being recognized by Chrollo meant becoming a member of the Phantom Troupe.
The Black Whale continued its journey through the air, startling a flock of birds.
Nami stood at the bow of the ship, using the Log Pose to determine direction, and asked Chrollo, who was lost in thought, and Robin, who was elegantly sipping red wine, "Where are we going next?"
One of these two seeks to hunt powerful beings, while the other desires the Poneglyphs; therefore, the destination of the voyage can only be determined by asking them.
"How about we go to Skypiea next?" Robin suggested, raising her finger.
She shared a series of legends and information about Sky Island with everyone, "Rumor has it that there is a legendary island above the clouds in the sea near our next stop on this route, Igaya Island... Sky Island."
"The sky islands float above the clouds."
"To be precise... it's not just the islands floating in the air, but the entire sea area above the sky, which is called the White Sea."
Robin then said, "Based on what I know, there may be a stone tablet there that contains the Poneglyphs."
"This might be one of the nine Poneglyphs we need~"
Nami nodded. After the Alabasta incident, everyone was curious about the legendary end of the world, so the importance of the Poneglyphs was self-evident.
However, the final route would depend on the captain's decision, Nami thought, glancing towards the corner.
Kuroro sat on a small stool, still muttering something to himself, looking confused.
"What's wrong with him?" Nami asked, puzzled.
"The captain might be thinking about something," Pike explained with a smile, patting Nami on the shoulder.
"Thinking?" Nami approached slowly with suspicion, eavesdropping.
"The world is a giant lie... The world is a giant lie..."
"Laugh Tale holds the truth about everything... Laugh Tale holds the truth about everything..."
'
What are you muttering about?
Nami grinned mischievously and popped out from behind Chrollo, slapping him hard on the shoulder. But Chrollo, who was in a daze, anticipated this and dodged, falling face-first into the dirt.
"Don't make a sound, I'm thinking."
Two hours ago, Chrollo successfully extracted Crocodile's memories regarding that information, thus learning that:
Crocodile was able to obtain information about Hades because...
It came from one man... a true strongman—Douglas Barrett.
Many years ago, when Crocodile was 20 years old, he encountered Douglas Bullet, a 19-year-old former member of Roger's pirate crew, on the high seas and engaged in a fierce battle.
The battle ended in a draw, but the two enjoyed the fight and forged a deep friendship through their shared experience.
Crocodile extracted this information from Barrett!
Barrett told Crocodile that the ancient weapons comprised three devastating weapons, named after gods from Greek and Roman mythology:
Hades (Pluto), Neptune (Poseidon), and Uranus (Uranus).
The exact appearance and type of these weapons are unknown, but Roger deduced that Uranus is currently controlled by the World Government to maintain its rule and the Celestial Dragons' high and mighty status.
Aquaman, on the other hand, lurks in the depths of the ocean.
Only Hades, perhaps, was taken to the lower realm by Nefit D. Lily, the former Queen of Alabasta.
That's why Crocodile spent three years in Alabasta after he came of age, in order to find Pluto and obtain the power that could change the world.
Kuroro already knew all the information about this place, since he was a time traveler.
However, the two sentences Barrett said to Crocodile in his memory next were what caused Kuroro to feel endless confusion.
In the memory, Barrett tells Crocodile that he did see "ONE PIECE" with his own eyes while following Roger's pirate crew, but he didn't know what it was or could not understand its true meaning.
All he knew was that upon his return, Roger personally ordered the burning of an extremely important diary containing the truth about "ONE PIECE," the Void Century, and the meaning of the D clan.
Roger left them with only three sentences: "Don't tell anyone what the ONE PIECE you saw was—"
"We and O'Hara made the same mistake—knowing too early."
We cannot change anything. This truth needs to be inherited, not conquered.
as well as..
"The world is a giant lie..."
