Chapter 552: Rewriting the World
In the afterglow of the sunset over Elbaf, the blond man's figure appeared even more profound, and he had been deliberately hiding his face.
Make the other party seem more mysterious.
He did not speak immediately, but took out a small metal box from his waist and gently opened it.
A faint light shone through the box, as if it had traveled through endless time, carrying some indescribable ancient breath.
Jin An stared at the faint light and frowned slightly.
He keenly felt that this was no ordinary item, but a token that carried some heavy history.
He did not urge, but just stood there quietly, waiting for the other party to reveal the answer.
The blond man was silent for a moment, raised his head, and said slowly in a low and steady voice:
"This world once had a buried history, a truth that even the Celestial Dragons dared not face. Eight hundred years ago, the war that changed the world... How much do you know?"
Jinan did not answer. His silence was an attitude. He wanted to hear more.
Whitebeard leaned against a huge rock with a sneer on his face.
"Gulala, the World Government is keeping this matter a secret. If you know anything, you might as well tell us everything."
The man glanced at him and continued:
"It was an era of hope and despair, a confrontation between a man who tried to change the world, Joey Boy, and a woman who controlled everything, Yimu."
“Joey Boy,” the man said with a hint of respect in his voice, “is an incredible character.
He is a beacon of light for all the oppressed and the only leader who dares to challenge the predecessor of the World Government.
He rallied millions to his banner, even at the cost of his own life, in order to achieve equality for all races.”
Jin An narrowed his eyes slightly, and speculated in his heart: This is quite consistent with the scattered rumors I have heard before, but it has a more specific picture.
"And Yim," the man continued, his tone becoming noticeably heavier, "is the exact opposite of that.
In the name of the world's 'order', she suppressed all resistance.
She holds a power that we cannot yet imagine, a power that comes not from an individual but from the world itself."
Loki frowned and asked, "Why have these things you mentioned never been passed down?"
The blond man sneered: "Because what has been passed down is what she wanted you to see. Yimu not only surpassed Joyboy, but also the entire history."
Jin'an's heart was filled with emotions as he listened to the man's narration.
He is not a person who is easily moved by stories, but every word of the man carries a real power, which is the emotion and details that only eyewitnesses can convey.
Countless images emerged in his mind: the giants, the fishmen, the sky islanders... those tribes that Joyboy had tried to liberate;
The Celestial Dragons, the Five Elders, Im...those high and mighty rulers.
“You know,” the man’s tone suddenly turned deep, “Joey Boy’s failure was not due to lack of strength, but because…”
He paused, looking around at everyone, as if looking for the most appropriate way to express himself, and finally said slowly: "His allies betrayed him."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"Betrayal?" Jin An's voice was low but powerful, revealing a hint of doubt.
The man nodded: "Yes. The people he trusted betrayed him in the end because they were afraid of Yim's power.
And Im took advantage of this and completely disintegrated his camp.
The final outcome of that war was even more despairing than total defeat.”
Whitebeard asked in a deep voice:
"So, the truth of this war is not just a showdown between the strong, but also a game between human nature?"
The man smiled slightly, as if he approved of Whitebeard's insights:
"That's right. That's why Joyboy's legacy needs to be carried on by future generations.
History not only needs to be remembered, but also needs to be rewritten.”
Jinan slowly closed his eyes, and the cold eyes of Yimu, the image of Joey Boy, and the flames and smoke of war before his eyes emerged in his mind.
He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Is this why you are telling me all this today?"
The man slowly closed the box and nodded:
“Jin’an, I know you are a person destined to change history.
After listening to this, have you thought about your responsibilities? "
Jin An was silent for a moment, his eyes becoming more determined.
He looked at Whitebeard and Loki beside him, and finally stopped at the man. His tone was calm but full of power:
"I am already involved in this war. No matter what power Im holds, no matter how she controls this world... history will eventually be rewritten."
Whitebeard grinned, "Gulalalalal! Well said! I will not be absent from such events."
The man nodded, with a look of relief in his eyes:
"Then I leave that man's legacy to you."
The sun gradually set, and the sky over Elbaf was dyed golden red.
In this ancient land, a buried history is uncovered and a new war is quietly brewing.
Jin An narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the mysterious blond man in front of him.
There was no wavering in his eyes, nor was there the evasiveness that often characterizes liars.
On the contrary, that look was deep and firm, as if carrying a heavy sense of mission.
"What about you?" Jin An's tone was neither light nor heavy, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they could pierce deep into the other person's heart.
The man lowered his head and thought for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts.
He tapped the box at his waist with his slender fingers, then raised his head, his eyes like a bonfire burning in the cold winter, filled with burning hope and calm determination.
"I want to witness it." His voice was low, but powerful enough to penetrate the quiet air of Elbaf. "I want to witness the true secret treasure that man spoke of."
Jin An raised his eyebrows slightly. The subtle change in the other party's tone when he mentioned the "great secret treasure" made him have all kinds of guesses in his mind.
This man is obviously not just a nostalgic narrator, but an actor with plans for the future.
"So," the blond man continued, a confident smile on his face, "I want to join you."
Jin An did not respond immediately, but turned his head and exchanged glances with Whitebeard, Loki, and other core partners.
Whitebeard leaned against the huge battle axe and grinned, revealing a bit of undisguised wildness:
“Gulala! Not many people can understand the meaning of the secret treasure. This kid is a little interesting, but I always feel that you give me a sense of familiarity.”
Hearing this, the man in the bamboo hat just laughed softly and didn't say much.
Loki frowned slightly, looking at him, as if he was still weighing the other party's true intentions.
But in the end, he nodded slightly, as a sign of agreement.
Tian Yueshi approached Jin An and whispered:
“This person is very smart and may be a great help.
But you have to be careful, he might have other ideas.”
Jinan listened to her words and did not answer immediately.
His gaze returned to the blond man, a sharp gleam in his eyes, but then it turned into a faint smile.
He raised his hand and extended it to the other party.
"Welcome aboard, my friend."
As soon as Jin An finished speaking, Loki and Whitebeard spoke at the same time, their voices filled with heroic momentum, overlapping with his words.
The blond man was stunned for a moment, then he smiled sincerely.
He stretched out his hand and shook Jin An's hand tightly. The strength between his palms showed an unspoken trust.
"It's a pleasure working with you." The man whispered, with a hint of relief in his tone, yet also a determination that was difficult to conceal.
At this moment, the wind in Elbaf seemed to have stopped, and the looks between the people were no longer simple tests, but a consensus that had been reached without words.
Whitebeard laughed and patted the man's shoulder with such force that his hat almost fell off:
"Gulalalalalal! Now that you're here, get ready for a good fight, boy!"
Loki remained calm, but a hint of recognition flashed in his eyes.
He whispered, "Since you have chosen this path, don't look back."
Tian Yueshi stood beside Jin An, looked up at the new partner, with some complicated thoughts in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and finally said:
"I hope you won't let us down."
Jin An withdrew his hand and took a deep breath. His eyes swept across the faces of each of his companions, finally stopping at the blond man.
He said calmly: “We have come a long way on this road, if you are willing to join, be prepared for everything.
There is only one goal - to rewrite this world."
"Rewrite the world..." the blond man repeated, his eyes flashing with an irrepressible enthusiasm, "That's exactly what I want."
At this moment, a new ally joins, making this already powerful team even more indestructible.
The setting sun in the distance gradually disappeared below the horizon, marking the beginning of a new era for this unprecedented adventure.
