Dragon murmured to himself, the joy on his face almost impossible to suppress.
With this data, many of his plans could be implemented.
Overthrowing the World Government was now just around the corner.
"Wait a minute...", At the very end of the summary, Dragon's expression suddenly became grave.
[Among all Devil Fruits, two are the most special. The ability users of these two gods once ruled the entire world, they are true Divine Fruits.]
"There are such fruits?", Holding onto his surprise, Dragon focused his mind and continued reading.
"The First Era, the Sun God stepped forward, bringing liberation to humanity. From then on, humans stepped onto the stage."
"I seem to have heard of this before..."
Dragon was thoughtful, "This matches the history recorded in the Elbaph, such a thing did happen."
"Sun God Nika... yes, that's the name. He is the one destined to end this era."
He quickly recalled the data he had seen in the Elbaph. Although due to the passage of time, even the Elbaph's records were somewhat vague.
But it was still recorded that the First Era began when Sun God Nika liberated humanity, and the Second Era was when the Sea God descended, reshaping the current structure.
"Wait... so those two fruits, one is the Sun God Nika Fruit, and the other is the Sea God Fruit?", Even before reading further, Dragon had already guessed the answer in his heart.
Moreover, he firmly believed in that answer.
After all, this wasn't information he just read, it was a deduction based on events that had already occurred.
Such information, how could it be false?
And the information that followed confirmed his speculation.
[The Second Era, the Sea God descended to the world, most of the land was submerged, the Sea God Watatsumi ascended to the divine throne, and the world began using the Sea Circle Calendar as its calendar.]
"So the origin of the Sea Circle Calendar came from this... Sea God Watatsumi, is that the name of the fruit?", There was a trace of longing and reverence in Dragon's eyes.
A god who could inaugurate an era was absolutely not someone he could reach.
Even though he already stood at the pinnacle of humanity, he absolutely couldn't do something like flooding entire continents with the ocean.
It was said that 1,500 years ago, the world's layout wasn't like it is today.
At that time, there were several massive continental plates on which humans and other races lived.
It was before the early Sea Circle Calendar that a sudden transformation occurred, changing the global structure to what it is now.
Previously, Dragon had no idea what had happened, but after reading this information, he now understood.
The Sea God Watatsumi was likely a being strong enough to turn continents into oceans.
[The Third Era, the reincarnations of the Sun God and Sea God appeared simultaneously. In the end, the reincarnated Sun God Joy Boy was defeated by the reincarnated Sea God, and the World Government was founded...]
"Huh?", Dragon instinctively widened his eyes, unable to believe what he was reading.
The founding of the World Government was actually related to the Sea God?
That Joy Boy was the reincarnation of the Sun God, this, Dragon actually already knew.
In Vegapunk's legacy, apart from some technologies, there were also historical records.
The Elbaph and the Land of Wano also had corresponding information.
All this evidence indicated that Joy Boy was indeed the Sun God Nika.
And the prophecy of 20 years later directly pointed to the reincarnation of Joy Boy, i.e., the reincarnation of the Sun God.
That reincarnated person would be the one to change the world.
"So this is actually the entanglement of two gods' destinies?", Dragon's gaze grew slightly complicated, even somewhat absurd.
So all this chaos in the world boiled down to two gods reincarnating again and again and getting entangled in each other's fate?
If he were just hearing it as a story, it truly gave him a sense of epicness and destiny.
But he was someone living inside the story.
These two gods might easily bring tremendous changes to the world he lived in, not a good thing for them at all.
"Let's just hope... the Sea God hasn't reincarnated..."
There was no longer joy in Dragon's eyes. On the contrary, his expression grew grave.
Two gods about to be reborn, that was the truth behind the prophecy. This wasn't good news.
The behavior of gods was not something mortals could predict.
In the divine texts of the Elbaph, there were even rumors that the prophesied child 20 years later would be a destroyer of the world.
Before, he had wondered why such a statement existed, thinking it was just the estrangement between giants and humans.
Looking at it now, perhaps from the very beginning, the giants didn't like or trust gods, and made what was a relatively fair judgment.
Holding a complicated mood, Dragon continued reading.
[Sun God Nika Fruit, according to Poneglyph-recorded prophecy, will reappear 20 years later. By the timeline, the person should already have been born or begun to emerge.]
[Currently speculated candidates: Pirate King's offspring – Juste, Figarland's descendant – Shanks, Revolutionary Army Leader – Dragon...]
"Miss Olvia really thinks highly of me. What virtue or ability do I have to be so fortunate as to eat the Nika Fruit?", Seeing his own name on the list, Dragon couldn't help but laugh dryly.
Having a Divine Fruit like God of Gale was already satisfying enough for him. He didn't expect Olvia to lift him up so high.
But he knew himself best, though he never told others about his fruit, it indeed had nothing to do with the Nika Fruit.
In contrast, the two other names mentioned by Olvia, both, in Dragon's view, were possible.
One inherited Roger's bloodline; the other, Roger's will.
Either of them was far more qualified than him.
"Nika's reincarnation should be one of those two, but Shanks has the higher chance," Dragon speculated.
Though talent was an unreasonable thing, Juste was only one year old now. He'd even seen him in Foosha Village recently, just weaned.
Even 20 years later, Juste would only be 21. Even for a savior, that would be far too young.
On the other hand, Shanks had already shown remarkable talent, and 20 years later would be at his peak. Maybe even surpass Roger and reach the realm of gods.
That's what Dragon thought. Especially when he saw the later description of the Sea God Fruit user, he became even more convinced of his guess.
Because in the following record, only one line was written:
[Sea God Watatsumi Fruit Ability User: Saint Jaygarcia Rosse]
The handwriting of this name was somewhat twisted, Dragon could sense how complicated the writer's mood was.
Even though the writing was terribly sloppy, Dragon still recognized the name.
And he fully understood why Olvia's feelings back then were so complicated.
Even now, he himself couldn't calm down.
'The reincarnated Sea God, has already appeared?'
And not only was he within the World Government, he was also currently right nearby, crushing the contemporary powerhouse Golden Lion...
Dragon opened his mouth, unable to hide the shock on his face.
'No wonder Rosse is so powerful at such a young age. It turns out he is the reincarnation of the Sea God...'
'Everything, it all seems to be make sense.'
