It entered!!!
All the onlookers' hearts stirred in unison~~~
Then, when the two ships passed through the whirlpool and successfully arrived at Laugh Tale...
A desolate ruin appeared before everyone's eyes!
"It's been a long time~~~"
On a large wooden plaque, this riddle was engraved!
The signature was... Gol D. Roger!!
Shiki: "Heh heh heh! Roger, you even made a tombstone for yourself~~~"
Gol D. Roger: "Ahahaha!! Golden Lion, you idiot~~~"
Roger merely chuckled at the Golden Lion's mockery.
[It's Captain Roger's message.]
[Seeing this handwriting, Shanks immediately recognized Roger's penmanship~~~]
[Wow!~~~]
[At this moment, Nami let out a surprised cry~~~]
[Immediately after~~~]
[Wow!~~~]
[Many people gasped in surprise~~~]
[Because in front of them... it was a mountain of gold!!!]
[Let's not talk about how much this mountain of gold is worth, but just from a visual effect standpoint, it's absolutely dazzling...!!!]
[Quick, Franky, move the money!!!]
[Nami instantly snapped her fingers~~~]
[So tough!]
[Franky, with a clank, transformed into a super excavator, and began to dig into the mountain of treasure!!!]
[Follow me!]
[Shanks patted Luffy on the shoulder, then walked forward.]
[Luffy didn't think much, and followed obediently.]
[Heading towards the interior of Laugh Tale, Shanks also looked around as he walked~~~]
[It's clear Roger must have told him something~~~]
But after all, Shanks was coming here for the first time, so he needed to recall as he walked~~~
Not long after, Shanks led Luffy to a ruined city.
Sengoku: "What's that...???"
He only saw a super large pillar in the ruins of this giant city~~~
Dense ancient writings were carved on it!!!
Tsuru: "It's ancient writing! There's ancient writing here too!!"
Gol D. Roger: "Is that nonsense??? The so-called ancient writing is actually just the everyday writing used by the Great Kingdom~~~"
Shiki: "Oh? Roger, what exactly did you find there???"
Hearing this, Shiki also became interested!!
Monkey D. Garp: "Yeah? What did that pillar say?"
Having witnessed the ultimate truth of the world, no one would be uninterested in what happened here...
The entire chat room instantly became quiet. Everyone seemed to be waiting for Roger to answer...
Gol D. Roger: "Rather than me telling you, why don't you see for yourselves? Luffy over there has already arrived at Laugh Tale, so now is the moment to witness the miracle...!!!"
In fact, although Roger knew this information through the Voice of All Things, he also confirmed that the information on this pillar was true!!!
Of course...
From a logical deduction perspective, the amount of information on this pillar was too great to be true!!!
Roger also bet his life on this to open the Great Pirate Era~~~
Now, when the Son of the Era, who was entrusted with great hopes, truly appeared in this place, Roger's heart was also extremely expectant...
Would the information on the pillar be true?
Would that Great Kingdom also be real?
Would everything he gambled on come true?
["You should be able to understand the content on this pillar, right?"]
[Coming to the front of the large pillar, Shanks looked at Luffy and replied.]
["Yes..."]
[Luffy's gaze fell on this large pillar. His face was filled with shock~~~]
[Through the ability of Voice of All Things, he heard a shocking message from this pillar.]
["This world is alive!!!"]
[Luffy's mouth suddenly let out words that made Shanks' scalp tingle~~~]
["Alive...? Alive?"]
[Shanks couldn't help but gasp, feeling his scalp tingle, and said in shock: "Wh-what do you mean???"]
[Although what Luffy said probably meant that, Shanks didn't dare to think further until he got a definite answer!]
Sengoku: "Alive??"
Zephyr: "What is he saying? The world is alive??"
Edward Newgate: "Red Luffy means that the world we live in is actually a living creature...???"
Charlotte Linlin: "Heh heh heh!! This is too outrageous!! We live on the body of a living creature? How is that possible?"
Kozuki Oden: "How can it be impossible? Isn't Zunesha living on a giant elephant's back?"
Gol D. Roger: "That's right! A single elephant's back can accommodate a country. So are there no creatures larger than an elephant king??"
Monkey D. Dragon: "Perhaps, these continents and oceans we are on are truly just parts of a giant creature??"
Emporio Ivankov: "Is that right...? Then the oceans we see are actually just this creature's urine??"
Lindbergh: "Hmph!!! Human king, can you stop being so disgusting? Can't these oceans just be this creature's saliva?"
Cracker: "You're even more disgusting, aren't you?!"
Kaido: "Such a large creature...? Impossible!! Absolutely impossible!!!"
Just glancing at the endless sea, Kaido felt this thought was too outrageous.
Kaido: "Our understanding of this world is truly too small. If we don't leave this world, we can never truly understand the full scope of this world, can we?"
Tsuru: "Actually, even if we leave this world, we might not necessarily understand it. After all, this world's biological forms and what we usually consider possible are quite different..."
Ben Beckman: "That's right!! This world is too big!!!"
Red Luffy turned his head to look at Shanks, his face grim as he spoke: "Yes, it's like Zunesha. In fact, we are living on the body of a giant creature..."
["What!!!"]
[When Shanks personally heard Luffy confirm this, he still couldn't control his wide open mouth~~~]
[He subconsciously looked down at his feet~~~]
[But then he instantly furrowed his brows again~~~]
[Confused: "No!! If we're living on the body of a giant creature, then why hasn't the war between various forces provoked this creature's rage?"]
[In Shanks' view, those Devil Fruit abilities that can move mountains and destroy the earth are enough to make this creature feel pain!!!]
["No..., we humans are too small!! For this giant creature, we are like bacteria living on its body...
...and even smaller than bacteria..."]
[Luffy shrugged, smiling bitterly: "Are you saying that a war broke out among the bacteria on your body...? Can you feel it...?"]
[Shanks fell silent.]
[Then, after careful thought, it seemed to be true!]
["And..."] Luffy continued, "This world's so-called creatures and the creatures in our imagination are not the same kind of creatures...
...Like bacteria, we cannot comprehend this world."]
[Shanks pondered Luffy's words, and roughly understood it.]
[Luffy continued: "And, whether it's land or ocean, it's just the surface of this creature's body, like dust on our bodies. But it's different. The land and ocean here truly belong to the world creature itself."]
["..."] Shanks' mouth twitched~~~
[This truth is truly too explosive!!!]
Then, he pointed to the large pillar beside him and asked, "Then, what is this?"
[Luffy explained: "This is the center of that giant kingdom, and this great pillar is actually the only channel in this world that can communicate with the world creature."]
["Communicate???" Shanks was stunned!!!]
["Yes!!! The content on this pillar was written by Joy Boy 800 years ago."]
["800 years ago, the distribution of land and ocean in the world was not like this. At that time, there was no Red Line Continent. All the oceans were connected into one piece! And the place we are standing now is also a huge continent with a very vast area!!!"]
["No Red Line Continent... All oceans are connected into one piece..."]
["One Piece... One Piece...!!"]
["So that's what Captain Roger's One Piece meant!"]
[Shanks' eyes suddenly glowed!!!]
[He looked up at Luffy: "In other words, the current sea and land configuration of this world was actually created by...?"]
[Luffy nodded: "You could say yes, you could say no. To be precise, someone communicated with the world creature, which caused the world creature to produce a slight thought. It was the surface structure of the world creature that changed, and then it formed the current configuration."]
[Shanks' face showed bewilderment: "Communicate with the world creature! How do you communicate?"]
[Luffy faintly spoke four words: "Joy Boy!!"]
