"The sound of this stone is so strong. It's easy to find! Oden, does it say something about some powerful force on it?" Standing beneath the Gin bell, Roger said with a faint smile.
Unlike Fang Yi, who could only sense historical texts, Roger could hear the voices of all things. So, he could roughly sense what was recorded on the Poneglyph and the feelings it brought him.
"It records a weapon called Poseidon!" After carefully examining the Poneglyph, Kozuki Oden nodded and replied.
"Poseidon? Another Ancient Weapon?" Rayleigh asked in surprise.
"It seems we're almost collecting all the Ancient Weapons!" Taking the opportunity, Fang Yi stroked the Poneglyph, completed the system's task of finding historical texts, and earned a thousand points.
Now, with the opening of the second - level mall, Fang Yi found himself in need of points for more and more things. But he didn't dare to squander points like he used to.
Because he didn't know if there would be a third - level mall. Maybe the prices would be cheaper and the items better then.
So he planned to buy out several limited - purchase items and then stop using points. Instead, he would save them up to see if he could unlock the third - level mall.
"Help me carve a sentence on it! Oden!" After a careful look, Roger said softly, "I, Gol D. Roger, a pirate, have arrived here and will lead this text to the Final Place!"
"All done. How does it look?" Oden carved Roger's words at the bottom of the Poneglyph and then turned around to ask.
"Great! Let's go. Our goal here is achieved!" Roger nodded and said.
"Captain! Really not take some of the Gin? It's such a pity!" Buggy still had his mind on the Gin all over the mountains and said reluctantly.
"Hahaha... Buggy, come back when you become a captain yourself someday! I'm running out of time!" Roger said with a smile.
Everyone fell silent, including Oden. They all knew that Roger only had one year left to live.
Soon after they descended from Sky Island, they arrived at Water 7.
"By the way, Roger!" One day, Oden asked Roger curiously, "What does the Road - Poneglyph you mentioned look like? Is it the same as the one we found on Sky Island?"
"No! Haven't I told you?" Roger shook his head and said, "It's similar, but it's red in color!"
"Red?" Oden was stunned for a moment and then said, "There seems to be one in our kingdom!"
"One in your kingdom? Red?" Roger looked at Oden in disbelief and asked.
"Yeah!" Oden nodded and said.
"Um... There seems to be one in our kingdom too!" At this time, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi also spoke up.
"What?" Now, everyone except Roger looked at the three of them.
"You three bastards! That's exactly what I've been looking for! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Roger was almost furious. If they had told him earlier, he wouldn't have had to search all over the world like this!
"Um... You didn't tell us about it either."
Oden and the other two replied with innocent looks on their faces.
"Captain!" Fang Yi looked at Roger excitedly and said, "With the one we snatched from Charlotte Linlin, we've now gathered three Road - Poneglyphs!"
After Oden joined the crew, he hadn't mentioned that Wano Country had a Road - Poneglyph. So Fang Yi planned to quietly ask Oden about it after they reached the Sabaody Archipelago.
Unexpectedly, Oden didn't even know that the red historical text was the Road - Poneglyph.
Now that the matter was finally cleared up, Fang Yi was extremely happy.
"No, it's not three!" Roger shook his head and said, "It's four! I think I know where the last one is! In this way... I can really gather all four! Is this really the guidance of heaven?"
You know, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi stowed away on the ship back then. If they hadn't joined the crew, no one would have known about the last one with the Mink Tribe.
"Then what are we waiting for? Captain! Let's set off right away to find the last one!" Shanks and Buggy were also very excited.
"Don't be in a hurry. Now that we know the whereabouts of all four Road - Poneglyphs, we have plenty of time! Since we're in Water 7, we have to see an old friend!" Roger wasn't in such a hurry anymore, maybe because he was too happy.
Fang Yi knew that the old friend he was talking about was Tom, who was known as the world's greatest shipbuilder. Their pirate ship, the Oro Jackson, was built by Tom, and this would bring great trouble to Mr. Tom in the future.
Sure enough, after landing on the island, Roger went straight to Tom's workshop. Here, Fang Yi also met the future Franky, Iceburg, the mayor of Water 7, the fish - man Tom, known as the world's greatest shipbuilder, and the middle - aged mermaid Granny Cocoa.
"Ahahaha... Fellas, it's been ages!" Tom seemed extremely happy to see Roger and the others.
"Tom, I've really missed ya!"
"Brother Tom~ After all these years, you still look the same!"
"Mr. Tom! I'm so happy to see you!"
Most of the crew of the Roger Pirates knew Mr. Tom, but Fang Yi didn't. He joined the crew when Roger reached Mizuwasa Island, and by that time, their pirate ship was already the Oro Jackson!
However, this didn't stop Fang Yi from clock - in to earn lottery tickets.
Making an excuse, after contacting the four of them respectively, Fang Yi got three lottery tickets.
He got a lottery ticket with a golden glow from Tom, and two lottery tickets with a yellowish glow from Granny Cocoa and Iceburg.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yi failed to clock - in successfully with Franky.
Moreover, the lottery tickets he got from Iceburg and Granny Cocoa were exactly the same color as the one he got from Amatsuki Toki.
As for the one he got from Mr. Tom, it was a new color - gold!
It looked extremely high - class at first glance.
Fang Yi didn't use these lottery tickets but stored them up. He planned to use them when he felt he was in good luck.
After staying in Water 7 for a day, the Roger Pirates continued their journey.
Since they knew the location of the remaining Road - Poneglyph, they had a clear goal. The whole pirate crew became more lively than ever.
"Up ahead is the Sabaody Archipelago. It's a small island quite close to the Navy headquarters. So after everyone lands on the island, be careful and don't cause too much of a ruckus. Got it?" Before landing on the island, Rayleigh called out to Oden and Roger.
"Right! Our goal is the Fish - Man Island under the sea. So don't cause any trouble. After a short stay here, we'll set sail immediately!" Roger said sternly.
"That means you, bastard!" Rayleigh shouted at Roger.
Apart from Oden, Roger was the one most likely to cause trouble on the ship. These two guys were both such headaches.
"Xiaoyi... Come with me to a place later. Roger, you're assigned to coat the ship! With the help of Jabba and the others, it should be no problem!" Rayleigh continued to assign tasks.
"Leave it to me!" Roger replied with a big laugh.
But neither Rayleigh nor Fang Yi felt completely at ease. However, with Jabba and the others around, it shouldn't be a major issue.
Soon, led by Rayleigh, Fang Yi arrived at a small coffee shop.
"This is Shakky. Just call her Aunt Shakky. Shakky, this kid is Fang Yi, an intern on our ship. You can call him Xiaoyi." After entering the coffee shop, Rayleigh introduced Fang Yi and a woman to each other with a smile.
"Ah~ So you're the famous Aunt Shakky?" Fang Yi immediately put on a surprised look and said.
"Famous?" Shakky was taken aback and said with a soft laugh, "I'm just a failed pirate. I can't be considered famous. But you, young man, already have a bounty at such a young age. You'll surely achieve great things in the future!"
"Hehe... On the ship, I often heard Mr. Rayleigh mention you. I just didn't expect you to be so beautiful. Mr. Rayleigh told me to call you Aunt Shakky. Isn't that making you sound old? Can I call you Sister Kiki from now on?" Fang Yi said in a mischievous way, winking at Rayleigh.
"Kid, don't mess around!" As soon as Rayleigh saw Fang Yi's expression, he knew what he was up to and immediately said with a headache.
He didn't understand why Fang Yi was so keen on matchmaking. If it weren't for his pushing and prodding, Rayleigh believed that Yamon and Jabba wouldn't have gotten together so soon.
Shakky, who wasn't familiar with Fang Yi yet, was very surprised. She never thought that the young Fang Yi would be trying to match her up with Rayleigh.
"Alright, enough chatting. I brought you here this time mainly because Shakky gave me some news that there might be news about the Ope Ope no Mi!" After the joking, Rayleigh immediately explained the purpose of bringing Fang Yi here.
"The Ope Ope no Mi!"
Hearing the whereabouts of the Ope Ope no Mi, Fang Yi also put away his smile. This was the only way he could think of to cure Captain Roger at present.
Shakky, standing beside him, was a bit curious. After making inquiries, she found that the matter of the Ope Ope no Mi was very secretive, and ordinary people simply couldn't know about it.
She could understand if it was Rayleigh, as he had been famous for many years and the Roger Pirates had roamed the seas for a long time, so it was normal for them to know some unknown secrets.
However, judging from Rayleigh's tone, it seemed that it was Xiaoyi, this kid, who proposed to look for the Ope Ope no Mi.
"You're right in your guess. It was Xiaoyi who came up with the idea of the Ope Ope no Mi. Like Roger, he has some abilities, so he has always been assisting Roger in finding a way to the Final Island! It was also at that time that he found some Clues about the Ope Ope no Mi!" Rayleigh noticed Shakky's doubts and said directly.
"Sis Shakky, did you really find out the whereabouts of the Ope Ope no Mi?" Fang Yi asked anxiously.
"Not the Ope Ope no Mi, but the user of the Ope Ope no Mi!" Shakky smiled and said, "And I'm not sure either. Based on the Clues you provided, the other party is very likely the user of the Ope Ope no Mi!"
