Chapter 48
Hearing Rorschach’s words, Cobra’s face flashed with embarrassment. He hesitated for a moment before speaking somewhat awkwardly.
"Lord Rorschach, I know this was a deal between you and Vivi, but could we perhaps change it to a different request?"
"Father, please don’t say that. Captain Rorschach helped our country. Since I agreed to it back then, I will honor my promise," Vivi said firmly, stepping in front of Rorschach with a serious expression.
"But Vivi..."
"No more, Father."
Seeing Vivi’s resolute attitude, Cobra had no choice but to accept her decision.
Vivi’s face lit up with a smile again.
Rorschach stepped forward and gently stroked her head, then turned to Cobra and asked,
"King Cobra, I have one request that may need your help."
"Hahaha, Lord Rorschach, you are Alabasta’s benefactor and hero. As long as it’s something Alabasta can help with, we will do it without hesitation," Cobra laughed heartily and agreed generously.
"It’s like this — one of my companions really wants to see a Poneglyph. Could we take a look at the Poneglyph hidden in this country?"
"I know that Alabasta has been guarding a secret all this time — the secret regarding Queen Nefertari D. Lili from eight hundred years ago that your family has protected."
Cobra’s expression changed drastically. He had no idea how this man knew about these things.
"Lord Rorschach, how do you know about this?!" Cobra asked, unable to understand how an outsider could know the secret his family had guarded for generations.
Robin’s eyes lit up. Her reason for joining Baroque Works had also been to find this Poneglyph.
She had been constantly betraying others to survive, and even this time was no different. She had chosen to join Rorschach simply because he was strong enough.
Although Rorschach had mentioned being interested in Poneglyphs and that his ship suited her, she had seen it as nothing more than bait to attract her.
If her life were truly threatened, she would still betray without hesitation.
Now, Rorschach had actually negotiated with Cobra for her sake, which moved her a little.
What surprised Robin even more was that Rorschach knew so much about this country, even the history connected to the Poneglyph.
What exactly was Queen Lili from eight hundred years ago making her descendants guard?
It was truly something to look forward to~
Unconsciously, the corners of Robin’s mouth curved upward.
"About that... it actually comes from what my master told me. I know quite a few things about this world, including parts of the Poneglyphs and the Rio Poneglyphs."
Rorschach spoke calmly, shifting all the responsibility onto Shiki.
After all, no one knew exactly how much the Golden Lion knew, but as a great pirate, he must have known many secrets.
"Lord Rorschach’s master?" Cobra asked in confusion. Vivi then explained Shiki’s story to him.
"Captain Rorschach, what exactly are these Rio Poneglyphs you mentioned?" Robin stepped forward and asked softly.
She had some doubts about the truth of these matters, but the mention of Rio Poneglyphs still made her very curious.
"The Rio Poneglyphs are the road signs leading to the final island of the One Piece, Laugh Tale," Rorschach said, meeting Robin’s beautiful eyes as he casually revealed the information about the Rio Poneglyphs.
"What?! Road signs to Laugh Tale?!"
The girls were once again shocked by the major secret Rorschach had just revealed.
"So if we get the Rio Poneglyphs, we can reach the One Piece and obtain the world’s greatest treasure!" Nami and Karina said excitedly, their eyes sparkling.
"Not exactly. The One Piece might not be the kind of treasure you imagine. What Roger spoke of before his death was actually something else," Rorschach said, giving the two girls a heads-up in advance.
"Is this also something you learned from the Golden Lion?" Nami asked curiously.
"That’s right," Rorschach replied confidently. For now, he would keep pushing everything onto Shiki. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense. freewebnσvel.cѳm
From his previous life’s knowledge, Roger’s crew wouldn’t have left any actual treasure on the final island.
The most widely discussed "treasure" was likely the "great treasure" left by Joy Boy, possibly related to liberating the world.
But in Rorschach’s eyes, what liberation? As long as his power was strong enough, he could liberate or change the world himself.
He didn’t need to rely on Joy Boy’s treasure.
Rorschach turned to look at Robin again and said sincerely,
"Robin, I know you haven’t truly joined this adventure crew with your heart yet. But I can guarantee this will be the best crew you’ve ever been on."
"I will also help you fulfill your dream!"
"Hehe, then I’ll look forward to Captain Rorschach’s performance. I believe in you," Robin said with a smile, pretending to be expectant.
In her eyes, Rorschach was always shrouded in mystery. If the Golden Lion really knew so much, he would have pursued his ambitions long ago.
So she concluded that Rorschach must have learned these secrets from somewhere else.
Rorschach secretly rolled his eyes. This woman really knows how to act. She’s practically an Oscar winner.
Even now she was still putting on a show. freewebnovel.cσ๓
But it didn’t matter. One day, you will truly join my crew.
Rorschach thought confidently.
