Chapter 118 Nicole Orbia
The Red Earl was sent to the sixth floor of Impel Prison, and unless something unexpected happens, he will spend the rest of his life there.
Garp was also on that warship, and he was responsible for the escort. Given the Red Earl's condition, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble even if he woke up.
Jiger looked at the warship escorting the Red Earl gradually disappearing from his sight, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Lucia walked to Jig, looked at Jig's profile, and said softly,
"Young Master, what are you thinking about?"
Jiger put away his thoughts, smiled at Lucia and said,
"Thinking of a devil fruit."
Ever since he heard the news about the Red Earl in Marijoa, the name of a devil fruit has emerged in Jiger's mind and cannot be shaken off.
This fruit was originally going to belong to the Red Earl in the future. Combined with the Red Earl's image, this fruit seemed to be tailor-made for him.
Its name is, Bat Fruit·Mythical Beast·Vampire Form!
Like all mythical beast-type devil fruits, the vampire fruit not only has a much greater degree of physical enhancement than ordinary animal-type fruits, but also has a special ability, which is to achieve eternal youth by absorbing blood, which means that its users will never have to worry about their strength being affected by aging.
Based on these two points alone, the vampire fruit can be called a top-grade fruit, not to mention that it also has some other very practical abilities.
Zigg has decided to use this fruit as his second devil fruit!
He knew where the vampire fruit was stored, it was in a ruin in the ancient town of Shui.
If you just want to get it, you need someone who can read ancient Chinese to follow you. Jiger remembered that the Red Earl used the "Transformation Leaf" to transform into Robin, and only after deciphering the secret of the ruins did he successfully obtain the vampire fruit.
It was not difficult for Giger to find Robin; all he had to do was go to O'Hara.
But the problem is that Robin is still a little girl around 3 years old. No matter how smart she is, she doesn’t understand much.
(Robin is 11 years older than Luffy. Luffy was born in 1503, and now it is 1495, which is the time of the Battle of Edwall)
But it doesn’t matter. Robin’s mother Olbia must be quite capable. With her around, it’s easy to decipher ancient texts.
Thinking of this, Jig said to Lucia,
"Lucia, let the warship return. Let's go back to the Navy Headquarters first."
Lucia nodded obediently and went to convey Jiger's order.
After returning to Marinford, Zig immediately contacted Spandine using Den Den Mushi and gave him one thing, which was to find the trace of Nicole Olbia.
Naturally, Spandine did his best to carry out what Zigg had asked him to do. In addition, he had already taken the position of commander-in-chief of CP9, and collecting intelligence happened to be the area he was best at.
A few days later, he found Olbia's whereabouts and presented it to Jiger.
The information shows that the expedition fleet that Olbia is on is on its way to the Kingdom of Alabasta.
In the admiral's office, Jiger looked at the information in his hand and smiled. He guessed the purpose of Olbia's going to Alabasta, which was nothing more than wanting to decipher the historical text there.
But this also just proves the rationality of this information. At least his trip won't be in vain.
Jig tapped the table with his fingers, thought for a moment, and used Den Den Mushi to call Lucia.
"Lucia, prepare the warship, we are going to Alabasta later."
......
In the first half of the Grand Line, somewhere in the sea near Alabasta,
Olbia was holding a box, standing at the bow, looking at the land getting closer and closer, with excitement in her eyes.
Not long ago, she received news that there was a historical text in Alabasta, and she came here immediately. The 33 fellow crew members on the ship were also equally excited.
For this group of people, being able to interpret historical texts is a very meaningful thing. It not only allows them to realize their own value as scholars, but also allows them to understand the truth of the world.
Someone came to Olbia and said,
"Olbia, we have contacted the royal family of Alabasta, and someone will be at the port to let us pass later."
Olbia nodded and said,
"Okay, so did they ask us what we were doing there?"
"I asked them. I told them we were scholars from Ohara and wanted to come to Alabasta for an inspection. They welcomed me after hearing that."
O'Hara was very famous in the world, and before the accident, people still respected O'Hara's scholarly work very much.
Olbia smoothed her white hair, looked down at the box in her arms, sadness in her eyes, and said softly,
"You must be very happy too, right? We will soon be able to see the main text of history!"
The box contained the ashes of Olbia's husband, who had been dead for more than a year.
Like Olbia, he had a fanatical pursuit to understand the so-called truth of the world, and this was what he muttered before he died. Now that they are about to arrive in Alabasta, Olbia carried "him" out again.
When the people around heard this, they also looked sad and mourned in their hearts.
The deck fell silent, but at this moment, a slightly teasing voice sounded,
"The main text of history? I seem to have heard something extraordinary."
Everyone was frightened. Olbia reacted the fastest. She quickly took out the pistol from her waist and looked around for the person who had spoken. However, there was no one else on the deck except her companion. At this time, the voice from before sounded again.
"Don't look for it, I'm upstairs."
Everyone looked up suddenly and saw a young man sitting on the mast of the ship.
He was holding his chin with one hand and looking at the scholars below with a joking expression.
The sea breeze blew, and the young man's cloak was rustling. Under the sunlight, the word "justice" on the coat was particularly conspicuous.
However, when seeing the word "justice", which gives people a sense of security, the scholars not only did not feel at ease, but were instantly frightened to the point of their hands and feet turning cold, and some of them even began to tremble.
Olbia pursed his lips, raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at the young man above him, and said coldly,
"who are you!?"
The young man tilted his head, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, he actually jumped directly from the nearly 30-meter-high mast, and finally landed steadily, as if he had just jumped down from a step.
Everyone, including Olbia, had expressions of horror on their faces. They were not shocked by the young man's behavior, because it was nothing compared to the epaulettes on the young man's coat.
They were all scholars, so they naturally recognized the meaning of the patterns on the black epaulettes.
That's... the Admiral!
