Chapter 119: Climbing on Double Ninth Festival (Happy Double Ninth Festival!)

Seeing the familiar ceiling appear before his eyes, Jade Rabbit said to Chongyang, "Emperor Chongyang, the third trial that my master left in the secret realm has not yet been carried out. Can I borrow your pagoda as a battle field?"

"A battle between the emperor's pets? I haven't seen it for a long time. It's OK." Chongyang agreed, and then he was surprised: "Jade Rabbit! How did you run out of Guanghan Palace! It's forbidden!!!"

"Oops~ That outdated ban has been in place for tens of thousands of years. How could it still have the energy to maintain it?" Jade Rabbit stuck out its tongue and made a cute face.

So cute. Nico Robin was touched by the cuteness of Jade Rabbit. She hugged Jade Rabbit tightly and rubbed its fur.

"Tens of thousands of years? Time flies. The empire should no longer be worthy of its existence." Chongyang sighed slightly depressed.

After several of his brothers were reincarnated, he had stopped keeping track of time, so he didn't know how much time had passed in the outside world. He only knew that he hadn't been summoned from the underworld for a long time.

Nico Robin held the Jade Rabbit and thought of the pet fighting competition that was being held recently, so she asked Chongyang, "Senior Chongyang, can I ask you a question?"

"Can ordinary pets be transformed into imperial pets? Yes. In the world today, most of the living creatures still alive should be the descendants of those imperial pets that evolved and reproduced. We just need to give them the imperial pet evolution wine. They should be able to complete the transformation and become brand new imperial pets." Chongyang smiled and stretched out his hand to grab the void.

His hand disappeared in mid-air, and then he took out a jar of wine from the air. The jar was made of gold, and the word "Jin" (Chinese character for "jin") was written in ancient characters on it.

Nico Robin looked at Chongyang in great shock. She didn't say anything, but the other party seemed to know what she was going to say.

The advanced application of Observation Haki is mind reading. Those who already have this ability include Enelu and Red Count. As a king whose soul lives in the underworld, Chongyang naturally knows how to use this kind of Observation Haki.

ps. For those who don't know about Red Count, Red Count is a game character created by WT himself. He is a strong man in Roger's era. He is equal to Roger and Whitebeard by himself. But after seeing the strength of Roger and Whitebeard in their heyday, he gave up his dream and took the initiative to live out the rest of his life in Impel Down at LV6. This guy went out to sea as a pirate and was led astray by the Rumbar Pirates. Just like Luffy and Shanks. In addition, Red Count admires Brook very much. He is simply Brook's little fanboy.

In addition, there is a bug item in the Red Count game plot, the Transformation Leaf. The Transformation Leaf can transform into anyone and possess all the abilities of the transformed person.

"Little girl, don't be surprised. Mind reading is just a simple ability. You are still young, and you may be able to master this ability in the future." Chongyang smiled faintly, and he gradually flew higher, "I will prepare nine jars of Emperor Pet Evolution Wine on the top floor."

"This guy still has the same bad taste." Jade Rabbit complained dissatisfiedly.

"What do you mean?" Mary waited until Chongyang left completely before she dared to speak.

Although the Double Ninth Festival looks ordinary, it actually puts a lot of pressure on people.

The Jade Rabbit slid vigorously on the deck of the ship with its cute rabbit ears. Wood chips flew everywhere, and a pagoda soon appeared in front of everyone: "Chongyang Pagoda. The pagoda is filled with the souls who returned from the underworld with the nine emperors. We are now on the first floor. The nine emperors are here, on the ninth floor."

"The seven layers in the middle are all filled with dead souls. The closer you are to the top layer, the shorter the dead souls are."

"The Double Ninth Festival itself is a festival prepared for meeting old friends. The Double Ninth Tower was also built for this purpose. People will worship the Nine Emperors on this day to thank them for bringing the dead souls back from the underworld. Of course, a large number of livestock will be prepared for the worship. However, I am very curious, how did you summon him without special cooking sheep and cattle?"

Jade Rabbit explained to everyone and then raised her own doubts.

Nico Robin shook her head slightly. They were the ones who could not understand the most.

"However, there are no stairs or streets here. How do we get up?" Xia Qi looked up and asked incisively.

Jade Rabbit stood up and entrusted Nico Robin to it. "Everyone's way of climbing the stairs is different. You have to feel it with your heart."

"With heart?" Mary didn't quite understand. She felt it was very profound.

Xia Qi showed a thoughtful expression.

Jade Rabbit carried Nico Robin on its back, spread its rabbit legs, and ran quickly towards where Boa Hancock was.

At this time, Boa Hancock was listening to Flame Flower's chatter.

"Listen carefully, Snake Princess. The ancient empire did exist. Whether our Nine Snake Island can regain its former glory depends on you. You must find the steps to climb, reach the top, and get the treasure!" Flame Flower chattered in Boa Hancock's ear.

Boa Hancock glanced at Flame Flower unhappily. Flame Flower was startled, but looking at the ceiling above her head, she mustered up her courage and said, "If you think I'm lying, why don't you go up to the pagoda yourself and find the previous emperors to ask them clearly."

"Tsk." Boa Hancock looked at Fire Flower with contempt.

jiu~

Jade Rabbit stopped its limbs and stopped its body very steadily in front of Boa Hancock.

"Jade Rabbit?" When Boa Hancock saw the rabbit, she confirmed that she had no auditory or visual hallucinations before the ceiling appeared.

The rabbit from Guanghan Palace has indeed arrived.

"Yuntaishan asked me to say hello to you! The king who rules over the nine snakes." Jade Rabbit greeted Hancock politely.

Nico Robin heard what Jade Rabbit said and asked in confusion: "Yuntai Mountain? That battleship? Does that battleship have consciousness?"

"That battleship is a palace battleship that can only be driven by gaining recognition from the ship spirit with the Conqueror's Haki." Boa Hancock glanced at Nico Robin sitting on the back of Jade Rabbit and explained to her lightly, then looked at Jade Rabbit: "Beast. Why didn't the battleship come with us?"

"Asshole. Don't call Bunny a beast. Bunny has a name!!!" Jade Rabbit was furious, standing on its front legs, trying to scratch Boa Hancock with its claws.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the claws were stretched out, they were entangled by Salome. Salome stuck out her scarlet tongue and stared at the Jade Rabbit with her eyes wide open.

"Oh my god~ Snake~" The moment Jade Rabbit saw Salome, it was so scared that it jumped back hundreds of meters.

The moment Bunny jumped back, Salome broke away from Bunny and returned to Boa Hancock's feet.

"If you are afraid of snakes, don't offend her." Flame Flower looked speechlessly at the rabbit that suddenly appeared. She felt that the rabbit was here to make her laugh.

Nico Robin comforted the rabbit, and the rabbit carried her back to Boa Hancock. She sat on the rabbit's back, explained the current situation to it, and hoped to get Boa Hancock's approval.

"Combining Guanghan Palace's third trial with the pet fighting competition? It sounds very interesting. I agree. The champion of this trial must be me."

Boa Hancock, who was feeling very bored, got the information from Nico Robin and smiled with great joy.

Afterwards, Boa Hancock announced the climbing competition to the entire Alabasta in her own name:

"To all contestants who have come to participate in the Pet Fighting Contest, the elimination rounds of the Pet Fighting Contest have already begun. Contestants who wish to participate, please carefully find the stairs to the tower. Only the first contestants to reach the top floor and obtain the Emperor Pet Evolution Pearl will be eligible to participate!!!"

The Empress' voice, through Jade Rabbit's Yin-Yang Mirror, quickly spread throughout Alabasta. Countless people suspected that they were hallucinating.

But more of the pirates shouted:

"Brothers! Charge!!!"

So, who will make it to the top?

Are there really only dead souls in Chongyang Tower?

whee.

Crisis often hides in rewards.
