Kapitel 146: Road Poneglyph!
This was the source.
The source of Ian's excitement right now.
This was the presence that Ian had been feeling ever since getting near this room.
Who would have guessed that it was actually the Road Poneglyph?
Even Ian didn't guess that.
Still, he went closer to it. With Robin following after him.
Meanwhile, the straw-hats and Law who had been disappointed, when Raizo had looked at them and yelled suddenly and vanished.
They were super excited at that.
After that Raizo started doing various techniques to impress them, even though it went against his ninja training where he was not supposed to showcase his abilities.
At one point when he had created various copies of himself, Ian paid attention.
He was aware that ninjutsu exists in the One-piece world.
And this was the very proof of it. Still, he didn't know how it was trained or used.
Still, he made a mental note to add it to his powers. Either by asking one of the samurais or going to Wano country.
Still, Ian refocused on the thing on hand.
He finally understood what Roger experienced.
Ian was able to feel that the information hidden in this Poneglyph was extremely important, but he couldn't understand what it was about.
He could understand that whoever engraved these words upon it, was implying the importance of them, but he couldn't understand what it meant.
He shook his head.
'Not everything is going to be easy sailing…' Ian thought to himself.
But soon he grinned.
'Well, it might be easy after all!' He thought as he looked at Robin.
Robin did after all know how to read them. And now that he thought about it, he didn't want to take the one thing she liked and was a reminder of her destroyed island.
Not to mention, he could at the very least use his ability to find out the last Poneglyph just like Roger had done at one point.
'This will work!' Ian thought.
****
After a while, some of them had left the room outside. Including Raizo. Who was finally relieved that the country was indeed safe.
There was nothing like seeing it with your own eyes.
At that, he once again gave a silent thank you to Ian. He knew that otherwise, this country would have been destroyed if he didn't help them.
He knew about Jack, and he knew about his strength too. This is why he didn't underestimate the strength of Ian at all.
Soon, however, Nekomamushi called them back towards the room. Saying that the deciphering of the stone was done.
****
Inside the whale.
Right now, Robin had given a paper filled with what she had seen on the stone to Nami. She didn't understand much from that. And this was a first for her. As she was used to being able to understand what was on the stones.
However, Nami was after all the best navigator she knew. And quite possibly the best in the whole world. Or at least had the potential to reach that in the future at some point.
Nami took a moment to take all of that in before she confidently replied.
"Indeed, I can draw a nautical chart based on this! And then we can pinpoint the location of something Robin!" Nami told her. An excited expression soon spreading on her face.
"Listen up everyone!" Inuarashi called them.
"That red stone is called a Road Poneglyph!" He said for a start. He gave Ian a look for a bit and at seeing him nod back he continued to say.
"All the tough guys of the sea wants to reach the end of the ground line! Ever since they started their journeys the goal has been to search for it! And that stone right there is the guide to it!" Inuarashi announced!
Much to the shock of the straw-hats and Law.
Ian as expected had already told this to his crewmates.
"This is the reason why this forest, is considered sacred. And why it requires us, guardians, to protect it!" Nekomamushi from the side pinched in and explained.
And indeed Ian knew that this secret was actually well guarded by them. However, he also knew that thanks to a traitor among them, it was soon going to be known by Kaido. He made a mental note later to attempt something against a certain someone he suspected from the samurai's side…
Back to at hand, Ian refocused on what was being said.
Luffy as usual was being an idiot and was pointing at the rock and hugging it saying how it would lead him to laughtale!
"Wait, wait, don't jump up to conclusions, and let me first explain!" Inuarashi sweatdropped at this.
When he saw that everybody was watching him intently he started speaking.
"There are four road Poneglyphs! Four red stones!"
Luffy was about to interrupt but Nami hurriedly shut his mouth off.
Inuarashi then continued.
"This particular stone does indeed have a location, and if you follow it would definitely lead you to someplace! However, that place would not be Laughtale!" He told them.
Well, he was mostly focusing on the straw-hats since he was able to tell from Ian and co-features on their faces that they already knew this information from beforehand.
Which was something good in his book.
Still, he continued.
"The three other red stones would also lead you somewhere but it would not be Laughtale either! However, you need to learn all four locations hidden on the red stones. Only then would you be able to learn where Laughtale is! You would need to connect all four locations on the map! And then those lines would cross at the center! That place… that place would be Laughtale. The last known island of this world! The island only the late pirate king and his crew had reached in all of these years!" He finally finished saying.
However, even Ian was somewhat excited at this.
He already knew that of course, however, it was another manner to hear it in person.
This excitement was shared by both his crew and the straw-hats.
Inuarashi then told Ian.
"From now on… I'll let you do the talking young Ian!"
Ian gave him a nod as he stepped up near him.
And then when he was just at the center and found that he had the attention of everybody, he started speaking.
"These red stones. There four of them as you heard! Previously I knew of the location of two of them! This one here is the third!" Ian said. Much to their shock.
Sanji couldn't help but ask.
"Is that true Ian?" He asked.
And Ian nodded!
"If you remember back then, I told you to not be hasty and wait for your captain, Luffy. This is related to that!" Ian waved his hand and in it appeared suddenly an invitation.
"This is an invitation to Big Mom's tea party! It is directed at me! When the old man and I gave her a call, I told her I would be visiting her, so she sent it to me!" Ian continued.
This however left the rest perplexed.
But Ian didn't leave them anytime to ask questions.
"The reason I want to go towards big mom is so that I can get my hands on the information hidden on the Road Poneglyph she has!" Ian finally dropped the bomb.
Much to the shock of those who didn't already know.
