Chapter 504: The Way to End the Great Pirate Era

...

"It can make such a big country sink completely to the bottom of the sea? The power of this divine punishment is too strong! It's so cool!"

"Wano Country eight hundred years ago? What does that mean? What about Wano Country now?"

Franky and Vegapunk both showed interest, but their focus was different.

"Well, it would be more accurate to say it was another 'Wano Country' eight hundred years ago. Well, let's go, we still have business to do."

Ger urged.

"Here comes the Captain!"

...

"Da da da!"

"It should be right here!"

Finally reaching the end of the road, Gel said as he looked at the stone gate blocking the way ahead.

"Crack!!"

Without the captain's instructions, Barrett walked forward and placed his hands on the heavy stone door, then directly removed the entire door and threw it aside.

Gol walked in with Weeble and Barrett, followed by Franky and Vegapunk.

The space inside the stone gate was very spacious. Judging from its style, it should be an abandoned temple. Gel looked around.

The first thing that caught my eye was the huge pillars that required two people to hug.

The luxurious vermilion paint on the pillars is still bright after nearly a thousand years of erosion. It is matched with the emerald green moss growing on it, forming a sharp contrast and a more visual impact.

In the middle, on a high platform similar to that used for sacrificial activities, a large square red stone is quietly placed.

"Ah... this is? Ancient history text?!"

Vegapunk immediately took out a microscope and moved forward to study it carefully.

"Hey, hey, hey, Vegapunk, if you don't understand, just say you don't understand. There's really no need to pretend. We won't laugh at you."

Ger teased with a smile.

"After all, everyone has their own specialization. Studying history and ancient writing has nothing to do with your major. The font is so big, what are you looking at with a microscope?"

"No, no, no, Captain, you misunderstood. I am looking at its material to determine whether this stone is a genuine historical text!"

Vegapunk explained without looking back.

His hands kept moving for a moment, touching here and there, and then he spoke excitedly.

"The material is correct. It is a real historical text! And it is a red historical text. It seems that the red text contains special and important information."

"Oh? I didn't expect you knew so much, Doctor."

Ger praised with a smile.

"Of course. After all, my head is filled with countless knowledge. Dr. Clover and I are old friends! So I have some knowledge of history as well."

Vegapunk said proudly.

"What a pity! If Dr. Clover were here, we would know what is written on it. Hehehe, he would definitely be very surprised! You know, the text on this red road sign is very rare!"

"It is said that there are only four historical texts like this in the world. Only by finding these four historical texts and correctly interpreting the information recorded on them can we find the legendary final island of Raftel!"

"And currently, the only person who has accomplished this feat is the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!!"

"Oh, awesome, awesome! You're worthy of being the Pirate King."

Gel said in cooperation.

"Ahem, Captain, haven't we already found all four of these red stones?"

On the side, Barrett touched his chin and reminded.

“Nani???”

Vegapunk and Franky were both shocked.

"Uh...? Is there?"

Ger asked, scratching his head in confusion.

Barrett began to count on his fingers:

"There's one on Fishman Island, one on Zou Island, and one on the Bigmom Pirates' Cake Island, right? Captain, you've already copied all of them, right? Now with this one in front of you, aren't the four red historical texts complete?"

(It is not 100% certain that the last red road sign that has not yet appeared is the one that disappeared from Fishman Island, but it was gone long before Whitebeard died and BIGMOM occupied Fishman Island, so the one that disappeared from Fishman Island and the one in the hands of the BIGMOM Pirates are most likely not the same one.)

"Hahaha, I think I remember it correctly, Captain Gur."

Barrett said as he looked at the four raised fingers.

He did not participate when Roger's pirate group arrived at Raftel. Although Barrett had no interest in any great treasure, he was still curious about what the voyage that Roger insisted on completing before his death was like. It would be nice to go and see it if he had the chance.

"Hmm? Now that you reminded me, it seems like they have already been collected? I didn't even pay much attention."

Ger said calmly.

"Hehehe!"

Barrett thought to himself that it turned out that conquering the Grand Line and reaching the final island was not such a difficult task.

Do not!

wrong!

It's not that this thing itself is easy, but the man in front of me is too powerful! That's why people have this illusion!

For Captain Gill, something as simple as "conquering the Grand Line" is no longer considered "difficult".

That’s right! They also have someone who can read ancient characters! This? This is too much of a coincidence!

Did the captain have a plan? Or was it all fate?

Barrett, who connected everything together, gradually brightened his eyes.

"Haha, let's go back and ask the scholars from O'Hara to interpret the text above. Then, when we have time, let's go to Raftel together and see how funny this "huge joke" is!"

Ger said with a smile.

"Okay brother!"

Hearing that there was something to play with, Weibull answered without hesitation.

"Haha, good captain."

Barrett also grinned.

Gel reached out and touched the red historical text in front of him, a playful smile appearing on his face.

Hey Hey!

What would happen if I accidentally brought a red road sign to Raftel?

You need to collect all 4 signpost texts to find Raftel. If you can't find Raftel, you won't get the last red historical text.

Hahahaha!

Does that mean that no one will ever be able to reach the final island again? Will the Great Pirate Era, which was triggered by One Piece, end prematurely?

As Gel thought so in his heart, the expression on his face gradually became abnormal.

"That's amazing! You are worthy of being Captain Gol! Doesn't that mean that you will soon become the next Pirate King? Wow, so cool!"

Little Franky's eyes sparkled with stars, and he said with admiration.

"What the hell is Pirate King? We are not pirates."

Gol punched Franky on the head to emphasize.

"Ah, it hurts, Captain, I want to go to the final island too!"

Franky requested, holding his head.

"Go, go, go!"

Instead of refusing, Geer agreed with a smile.

“Ah, this…?”

On the side, Vegapunk was already stunned.

How come you have suddenly collected all the signposts and are ready to go to the final island for vacation?
