Chapter 116
[116]: The world is asleep, but we are awake! [1/2]
Inside the Alabasta Palace.
At this time, Luffy and his crew were sitting together with dark circles under their eyes, and the servants in the palace were serving breakfast.
Fujitora looked at the shoe-horn-faced man opposite him with a surprised look on his face and said in surprise:
"I didn't expect you to be the leader of the current revolutionary army. I'm so sorry. I thought the navy had sent someone to assassinate Mr. Luffy, so I suddenly attacked. Please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter."
Long smiled and waved his hand.
"I didn't expect to see Mr. Yixiao here. I have heard of your name for a long time, but I haven't heard much about Mr. Yixiao's deeds in recent years."
(You always say that Yixiao looks more pleasing to the eye, so I changed my name to Yixiao. As for Fujitora, the official did not say whether it was his code name before he became an admiral or after he became an admiral. My secondary setting is that he had the code name"Fujitora" before he became an admiral. This small detail does not affect the reading)
"Haha, I have been living in seclusion for a few years, and I have only recently come out to travel again."Fujitora looked very calm.
When Zoro and the others saw Fujitora chatting with Ryu, they all turned their doubtful eyes to Luffy.
Nami was still a little dizzy at this time, so she went straight to Luffy and said in a low voice:
"What's Luffy's situation now?"
"It's just a small misunderstanding."
Luffy smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, if you haven't rested enough, go back and rest.
Rest for another day today, and we will train in Alabasta for a while starting from tomorrow.
It just so happens that there are two of the world's top fighters here, so it would be a waste not to use them."
At this point, Luffy and Zoro looked at each other and smiled wickedly.
What could be more satisfying than having the admirals of the navy or even the four emperors as sparring partners?
Facing such people, they can always attack without restraint and fully exert their body's greatest potential.
With Luffy's words, Zoro and the others ate something and went back to sleep.
Luffy also lay down and fell asleep with them, and slept until the afternoon.
It was Vivi who came in and called them to eat.
After dinner, Luffy turned to Cobra and said:
"Uncle Cobra, I have a request."
After hearing this, not only Cobra, but also Zoro and the others turned their heads and looked over in surprise.
Ryu and Fujitora were also surprised.
At the same time, they were also very curious about what Luffy's sudden request was.
"Luffy, you are our Alabasta's benefactor, asking for anything is too much."
Cobra shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"If you have any requests, just tell me directly. As long as it is something that Alabasta can do, I will do my best."
The most precious people in Alabasta are already mine, so there is no need to do your best.
Luffy complained in his heart, but his expression did not change at all, and he spoke decisively:
"I want to read the history of Alabasta.
Well, to be exact.
My friend wants to read it."
""Historical text!"
Hearing Luffy's words, Fujitora and Cobra looked at Luffy in shock. They didn't expect Luffy to make such a request.
Dragon was more surprised. Did Alabasta actually have a historical text?
Compared to them, Robin stood up directly. After seeing Luffy smile and nod at her, she took a deep breath and sat down.
Seeing Robin's actions, Dragon nodded and said:
"Nico Robin? That makes sense. I was wondering how you could understand the historical text."
Cobra was silent for a moment and then nodded.
"Sure, everyone follow me."
Luffy stood up and followed. When he passed by Robin, he patted her shoulder and said with a smile:
"Let's go. After I show you this historical text hidden in the palace, I'll show you another one."
"Another piece?"
Cobra, who was walking in front, turned back in surprise and said:
"Luffy, there is only one historical text in our Alabasta Palace."
"Yes, Luffy, I saw it when I was a kid, and there was indeed only one piece."Vivi also answered affirmatively at this time.
Luffy smiled mysteriously and said:
"There is no doubt that you have two historical texts in Alabasta. I will tell you where the other one is after you finish reading this one."
Everyone was surprised, but they did not doubt Luffy's words.
But at this time, Long raised his hand to stop Luffy's steps, looked at him and said in a deep voice:
"Luffy, since you know so much about the historical texts, you must also know what the consequences will be if you touch the historical texts without authorization, right?"
At this point, Long turned his head and looked at Robin with sharp eyes, then looked directly at Luffy and said:
"Nico Robin is the epitome of touching the main text of history. The fact that O'Hara was wiped off the map by the Demon Killing Order is still vivid in my mind.
You have to know that it is the only remaining tree of omniscience in the world!
In order to keep it secret, the World Government can completely destroy such a precious thing. You can imagine the seriousness of this matter!
My advice is that before your wings are fully grown, it is better not to touch such things."
Long's words made the originally noisy atmosphere around them suddenly quiet down.
Zoro and the others looked at each other, it was the first time they heard such a secret.
In order to keep the secret, an island was directly wiped out, and even the precious Tree of All-Knowing could be ignored?
No wonder this Nico Robin was offered a bounty of 79 million Baileys at such a young age. Was this the final reason?
Fujitora also turned his white eyes to Luffy's direction at this time. He was also very curious about what Luffy would say.
Robin, who was sitting in the reclining chair, clasped her hands tightly together at this time, and was obviously very nervous.
After all, pursuing the text of history is her lifelong pursuit!
Feeling the eyes of everyone on him, Luffy looked up at Long after a moment of silence and answered the question:
"Using bronze as a mirror, one can adjust his clothes.
Using people as a mirror, one can understand gains and losses.
Using history as a mirror, one can understand the rise and fall.
We who are engaged in revolution are crossing the river by rubbing stones. If we cannot fully understand the past and the present, how can we change the future?
As the saying goes, the past is a lesson for the future. If you want to destroy a country, you must destroy its history! What the Celestial Dragon reactionaries want to destroy, we must master!
History is asleep, time is awake.
The world is asleep, we are awake!"
After Luffy finished speaking, he pulled up Robin, who looked stunned and surprised, and walked around his cheap father who was lost in thought, then looked at Cobra who was looking at him in shock and smiled slightly:
"Let's go, Uncle Cobra"
"oh..."Okay." Cobra was stunned for a moment, then nodded and continued to move forward.
Vivi and Nami followed closely behind, and then Zoro, Sanji, Fujitora and others followed.
But this time they didn't speak, and everyone fell into deep thought.
Luffy's words just now had a great impact on them.
Among them, Robin, a historian, was the most deeply touched.
Luffy's words were like a sharp knife stabbing her heart.
Looking at the man in front of her, Robin suddenly smiled brightly.
Maybe she will never escape from the palm of this man's hand in this life?
But looking at the little man who dared to hold her hand so openly, Robin smiled wickedly, leaned close to Luffy's ear and whispered:
""Brother Luffy, your girlfriends won't be angry if you hold my hand like this?
I'm not a princess, and I didn't come with you from the East China Sea. Isn't this a bad idea?
But since you snatched me from Crocodile, you have to be responsible for me."
Luffy's body stiffened, and he turned his head to meet Robin's smirk. He couldn't help but laugh or cry, but after feeling the gaze behind him, he still let go of Robin's hand and said with gritted teeth:
"Sister's tea art is getting better and better."
Hearing this, Robin covered her mouth and laughed so hard that her body shook, but she still twisted her waist and walked in front of Luffy with her long legs in black stockings. The trembling full moon made the young boy's heart beat.
But now it's more important to do business.
Humph!
Little fairy!
When you get on my ship, there will be plenty of opportunities to let you understand what it means to repay a drop of water with a spring of gratitude!
Luffy complained in his heart.
Fifteen minutes later.
The underground ruins of the capital of Alabasta.
Luffy and his group stood behind the main text of history, and only Robin stood in front of the main text of history and looked at it carefully.
After a while, Robin turned his head and glanced at everyone, then set his eyes on Luffy and smiled slightly:
"Luffy, this is what Crocodile has been looking for all these years. Do you want it?"
