Chapter 285: The Poneglyph Road
"What do you mean with 'whatever'? I don't appreciate your tone, Luffy!" Momo griped.
Luffy squeezed his face.
"So you are some big shot, who cares?. That doesn't mean we are going to treat you differently. Look at Vivi, she is a prince and no one cares!"
"Wait, she is actually a princess? I thought you fellows were joking about that." A confused Kinemon said.
"Hey!, that's rude." Huffed Vivi.
"You are afraid of heights and you are a coward!" Luffy shouted at Momo.
"A warrior knows no fear! cease your slandering!" Demanded momo.
"Ugg…there they go…fighting again." Kinemon looked disappointed.
"Come on, don't be so strict. The Lord is still a child." Igarashi put a hand on his shoulder.
"And the other one is our Captain…" Zoro looked disappointed.
"Nami, help me!. Luffy is being mean again." the child jumped onto Nami's generous breasts.
"Ohh…poor thing."Nami comforted him.
"Get away from her Lord Momonosuke! , you little deviant!" Shouted Kinemon.
"Oi calm down." Nekomumashi said.
"So…you are Lord then...you must have a lot of money."Nami smiled.
"Hit the brakes woman!" shouted Usopp.
"Yeah, and besides. His country has been taken over by Kaidou. So at the moment, he has nothing." Vivi pointed out.
"Ah… that's right" Nami let him go immediately.

Guardians residential district. Whale tree.
After making a truce, Neko and Inu escorted the group to the secret area where the samurai was hidden.
"If you know how to climb the vines, these will take you all the way to the top," explained Neko while they ascended the whale-shaped tree.
"So this is where Raizou was hiding? On the top of the tree?" Asked Usopp.
"Is he really a ninja thought?" Asked vivi.
"He is true. Lord Raizou is an authentic ninja from Wano. One of the few left in the entire world. " Explained Inugarashi.
"So cool!" Luffy was very excited at the prospect of meeting a ninja.
And he was not the only one. Chopper and Usopp had stars in their eyes.
"I can already hear his wails of agony…I'm very sorry about all of this." Said Momonosuke.
"My Lord..." Kinemon looked sad.
They eventually reached the end of the vine, but there was nothing to see there just more wood.
"There is an entrance here?" asked Nami.
"It is a hidden entrance. " Neko pressed on a few specific spots of the tree and a hole opened up. Revealing a descending set of stairs.
"Be careful with your steps," warned Neko.
"I can hear someone," said Nami while they were near the end.
"Here we are," said Inu when they reached the end of the stairs.
"Where is the ninja?" Asked Luffy while looking around.
"There you are Nekomamushi!" Someone shouted.
They all turned to the source of the voice and saw a man with a massive head, completely chained to a rock.
"Why didn't you turn me to the enemy!. Those who bring me food are always injured. I heard this country is now safe. Is that true?...if you have been lying to me, I won't forgive you!" The ninja had his face covered in tears.
"What?!, he is huge!" Said Luffy.
"Are all ninjas so massive?" Asked Chopper.
"Who goes there?" the ninja demanded to know.
"It is us, Raizou!" called Kinemon.
"Kinemom?. And Lord Momonosuke! , you found me!
I'm so glad to see you unharmed."
"Is that the crest of the Kouzuki clan?" Robin looked upwards at the mark drawn on the wall.
"And that stone…I never seen a red one."
They all realized that the 'rock' that Raizou had been tied to was actually a poneglyph.
"Is that?..." asked Nami.
"Yes, that is a poneglyph" confirmed Neko.
"That crest has been there for many centuries." Said Inugarashi.
"We have heard of you, Nico Robin. It is said that those from Ohara are able to read those letters."
"But why is it red?." Asked Robin.
"This one must have a different purpose than the rest. Can you read it?" Asked Inu.
"Yes….may I?" Robin request.
"Of course!."
Meanwhile, Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, and Franky began to beg the ninja to show them some tricks.
"What an embarrassment…" said Law.
"Here we go!, Ninja art…smoke release jutsu!"
He dissipated in a cloud of smoke.
"Ninja art…clone jutsu!"
Many copies of the ninja appeared all over the place.
"Yeah…but is kinda cool he can do that with no devil fruit thought," Vivi said.
"I suppose..." Law had to admit.

They had to wait for over an hour for Robin to finish decyphering the red poneglyph. Apparently, this one was a lot more complex than the other ones.
"What do you think, Nami?" Robin gave her transcription to the navigator first.
"This is what was written?....it does look like a sea chart. It points to a specific location at least. But I have no idea what is there." Nami commented.
"The whale forest is only considered a sacred place because of that stone. We have been guarding it since the creation of this country." Explained Nekomumashi.
"That red ponelyph is commonly known as a road ponelyph. " Said Inugarashi.
"The final point in the grand line that everyone looks for…this stone points to that location."
"Raftel…" Said Vivi.
"Exactly…however-" Inu was interrupted when everyone got excited.
"What?!, Raftel?!" Shouted Nami.
"That's the freaking finish line!. Luffy, you can finally become the King of Pirates!" shouted Usopp.
"So the location of Raftel is written there?, can we go now?" Asked Franky.
"Ehhh!, really?" Exclaimed Chopper.
"Hold on!" Shouted Inugarashi.
"I said 'However'. Let me finish, damn it!"
They all finally shut up and let him talk.
He cleared his throat.
"As I was trying to say…this red poneglyph is not the one. There are four in total. That stone points to a direction but is not Raftel. You need to acquire all four red poneglyph. Once you have them, you will have to trace the point where all four sea charts written in them, converge. That one point…is Raftel."
"So we can't go there yet…" Usopp looked disappointed.
"Hey, look at the bright side. We have taken an important step today. We now have a clear way to find that island. " Said Vivi.
"She is right. We now have a clear goal. We need to find the other three red poneglyphs. Then we can go to Raftel!." exclaimed Nami.
"Then I can become the Pirate King! Luffy roared.
