"This is the place...", With a hood over his head, Dragon entered the place where Olvia resided.
Before coming, they already had a detailed layout map of the Holy Land.
Although he didn't know how the Revolutionary Army's undercover agent managed it, looking at it now, it matched reality perfectly.
Dragon didn't think too much about it either. After entering, his gaze swept continuously around.
Olvia and her daughter had followed Queen Sora early on to Fish-Man Island to help Queen Otohime build the Mermaid Kingdom.
This matter was an open secret. At that time, Fish-Man Island was particularly lacking in manpower, so Rosse transferred all the women from his household there, which didn't arouse any suspicion.
No one would think that Rosse transferred them away to avoid this surprise attack on the Holy Land.
After all, the time between those two events was more than just a little.
When Olvia and the others left, even Whitebeard hadn't yet conceived the idea of attacking the Holy Land, so naturally no one would associate these events.
And since Olvia had only gone to help temporarily, Dragon concluded that she wouldn't have brought all the Poneglyph translations with her and would definitely have left most behind.
And those translated manuscripts were the reason for his trip.
"Found it!", Dragon didn't spend much effort and had already found what he was looking for.
Because Olvia hadn't hidden it at all, they were laid openly on the desk. Next to them, the entire bookshelf was filled with related books and translation materials.
"Good thing this area wasn't affected. Otherwise, all of this would've been lost," A trace of relief flashed through Dragon's heart.
Coming to the Holy Land this time, priorities had to be set.
The most important thing, of course, was to hunt down the Five Elders and Celestial Dragons.
Only after that came the manuscripts related to the Poneglyphs.
It was just that after killing Saint Warcury, the Celestial Dragons had long since fled to Saint Peter, leaving Dragon with no way to act further.
The same assassination tactics couldn't be used twice.
So he could only blatantly reveal his presence, openly showing everyone that he was here in the Jaygarcia palace searching for something.
Based on his estimation of the current situation, other reinforcements from the World Government couldn't arrive temporarily.
The fastest would likely be Borsalino, who was on Cake Island.
Or, the World Government might manage to persuade Marine Headquarters to mobilize all high-level forces and even recall Sakazuki.
If that happened, Dragon would only be happier.
Around Marine HQ, they had deployed not just Shanks and the others.
If Sakazuki were redeployed, someone would immediately strike Marine Headquarters.
If Marine HQ were utterly razed, it would deal a significant blow to the World Government, and might even drive a wedge between the Marine and the World Government.
Suppressing all the chaotic thoughts, Dragon grabbed the manuscript on the desk and began reading.
Time was tight, and he had to seize every minute and second.
But just reading the first line caused Dragon's expression to turn grim.
[Poneglyph Knowledge Compilation - Devil Fruit Edition]
[1. Devil Fruits are not born naturally but arise from the desires of living beings in the world.]
[2. It is not people who choose the Devil Fruits, but the Devil Fruits who choose people. Everything follows fate.]
[3. Each Devil Fruit ability represents a living being's prayer. Ancient people called this a divine miracle, and the one who eats the fruit is the reincarnation of a god.]
[4. Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan are classifications created by later generations. Before the founding of the World Government, each fruit could be regarded as a Divine Type.]
"Divine Type?", Dragon inhaled sharply, shock in his eyes.
Olvia's notes weren't complex, but just the beginning had already stunned him.
'Unbelievable! So before the World Government existed, every Devil Fruit user could be called a god?'
That is to say, the Celestial Dragons weren't descendants of gods, those who ate Devil Fruits were the true descendants of gods, even reincarnations of gods.
Dragon considered doubting the authenticity of the summary, but after just a little thought, he couldn't come up with a reason it could be fake.
This was the core of the World Government.
Unless an outside force invaded, this summary would never fall into outsiders' hands.
And the content of this summary, once spread across the sea, would absolutely cause a sensation.
At that point, it wouldn't be the Great Pirate Era, it would be the Great Divine Era.
There were far too many who had both Devil Fruits and wild ambition.
If those people learned this, they would absolutely proclaim themselves gods under this pretext.
And once many "gods" appeared, the blow to the World Government would be catastrophic.
Pirates were still just thieves.
Compared to the Celestial Dragons, who were descendants of gods, they were inherently lacking legitimacy.
But with this Poneglyph-based endorsement, the World Government's legitimacy would be destroyed.
The world had suffered the World Government for far too long. Although it was because they were powerful, if the member nations all rebelled, the World Government's few people couldn't possibly suppress them all.
Add in the fact that they had successfully hunted the Five Elders this time. It had already proven that Celestial Dragons were not above all, and even nobles like the Five Elders could be killed.
That was enough.
At that point, if the member nations all declared independence, the strongest warriors of each country would no longer gather in the Holy Land.
There were many strong among the Celestial Dragons, but even more arose from the common people.
"The new era... is finally about to arrive!", Dragon looked at the manuscript in his hand as if it were a priceless treasure, his eyes full of excitement.
He couldn't care about anything else now and quickly started flipping through the rest of the material.
He longed to see more information capable of overthrowing the World Government.
Following the overview of the Devil Fruit edition were descriptions of various rare fruits.
These fruits were basically all Mythical Zoan Types that had left a mark on the world.
This summary was like a more detailed Devil Fruit encyclopedia, but one with the authority of the Poneglyphs.
However, even among them, Dragon still saw much precious information he hadn't known.
"Sakazuki's Magma Fruit, it can also be called Divine Type: Magma Hellhound..."
"Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit was referred to as Divine Type: Sky God."
"Whitebeard's Quake-Quake Fruit is Divine Type: God of Tremor Roar."
"My own fruit... is called Divine Type: God of Gale? Truly fitting."
Looking at the information, Dragon couldn't help but smile unconsciously.
He never doubted its authenticity. After all, as he read it, it all just felt right.
Even though the information was shocking, his instincts told him these things were entirely possible.
In fact, this might be the truth the World Government had long suppressed, and the reason Ohara was destroyed.
But the more he read, the wider and more mocking Dragon's smile became.
"You naive brat. Your strength may be decent, but you're too arrogant."
"The Holy Land is indeed safe, but that's no reason to leave behind hidden dangers. If it were me, I would've killed Olvia and Robin."
"But now... I'm glad you're a fool. Otherwise, I wouldn't have this great opportunity."
"Saint Jaygarcia Rosse, I must thank you!"
