Chapter 270 The Tomb of the Pirate King
Windmill Village is the hometown of Monkey D. Luffy, the second Pirate King. After finding nothing in Rogue Town, Sean came directly here.
This time, Sean came to the East China Sea alone. First, he wanted to see this magical sea where two pirate kings appeared. Second, he wanted to find some information about the final island, Rafdru.
As the most mysterious place in the pirate world, Sean speculated that the place may be related to the disappeared ancient kingdom. After all, the people who landed on this island were all members of the D family. Sean even suspected that the place might be related to the world of One Piece. The deep secrets of the world, maybe through there he can find clues about the origin of this world, the sea or the devil fruit tree.
Of course, these are just Sean's speculations. You need to see for yourself what the truth is.
"If my knowledge hadn't told me, who would have thought that the bones of the second Pirate King would be buried here."
Standing in front of a small mound covered with weeds, Sean had a trace of sigh on his face.
"But there doesn't seem to be anything I want here. Should I say it's worthy of Luffy?"
With a light step, the grave soil cracked, and a palm-sized treasure box made of special metal flew out from the ground and landed in Sean's hands.
Sean reached out and pinched, breaking the lock, and opened the small treasure box.
"empty?"
Looking at the empty treasure chest, Sean raised his eyebrows.
Luffy's tomb is very simple. There are no treasures in it. The only burial object is this treasure box. Looking at the special material of this box, Sean thought there was something precious inside. Otherwise, there would be no need to use such a specially made one. I came to store the treasure chest, but I didn’t expect it to be empty.
"No, there was something inside, but it disappeared later. Was it taken away by someone?"
The doubts in my heart are further released, and I constantly communicate with the treasure box in my hand to capture the fragmented information.
"Haha, I didn't expect it to be this thing."
Exploring deeply, after capturing a certain scene, Sean retracted his domineering attitude, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The natural-type Yakishaki Fruit was something that was once stored in this treasure chest. After knowing that it was this fruit, Sean also roughly understood why Luffy, who seemed to not care about anything except food, would deliberately build such a treasure chest. I also know why this fruit disappeared.
The two owners before and after the Burning Fruit more than 200 years ago were Portcas D. Ace and Sabo. These two people have a deep bond with Luffy. Although they do not have the same blood, the three of them are They have a brotherly relationship.
Before Luffy died, he kept the Shayaki Fruit, a fruit closely related to Ace and Sabo, as his burial gift as a memorial to his two brothers.
It's just that one day the Infernal Gate noticed this place and contained the Shao Shao Fruit, which later fell into the hands of Sean, so now the treasure chest is empty.
"It's really a bit dramatic."
Looking at the empty treasure box in his hand, Sean gently threw it back.
"Damn bastard, you grave robber."
Huh, I remembered a subtle sound breaking through the air, and a wooden stick hit Sean from behind.
With one wrong step, he easily dodged the attack from behind. He turned around and looked at the kid who had just attacked him. Sean frowned.
He did take back his domineering attitude just now, but he shouldn't ignore the approach of a child. This is not normal.
Looking carefully at the child who was about eleven or twelve years old, Sean made a different discovery. When his breath was stable, this child almost blended into the surrounding environment, as if he was a part of nature. If he didn't It's almost difficult to spot if you look carefully.
"Kid, what's your name?"
After discovering this characteristic, Sean became somewhat interested in the child in front of him.
"Grave robber, it is unforgivable that you dare to steal my grandfather's tomb."
Ignoring Sean's question, with angry fire burning in his eyes, the child dragged the stick, lowered his body, and rushed towards Sean at the speed of a galloping horse.
"That's really bad."
Although his physical age is only sixteen, Sean's mental age is not young. Looking at the child who attacks again is like seeing a naughty child.
With a flash of his body, Sean suddenly appeared on the path of the child's charge. Then he smiled at the child and slowly stretched out his finger.
"Bounce."
The force exploded, and the child's figure came and went faster, carrying the roaring wind, and slammed into a big tree.
The big trees swayed, and the leaves fell like rain.
"Damn it..."
After suffering a serious injury, a big bump quickly bulged on his forehead. The child still refused to give up and struggled to get up from the ground.
"Kid, can you tell me your name now?"
Looking at the child, Sean asked the previous question again.
"So what if I tell you? My name is Monkey D. Ronan."
Using the big tree as a fulcrum, Monkey D. Ronan climbed up from the ground. At the same time, a green light full of vitality flowed through his body, repairing the injuries he had suffered before.
Noticing this scene, Sean's eyes narrowed.
After seeing and hearing, Sean got the answer.
"Special Superman Type·Mumu Fruit."
"A user with devil fruit abilities? It seems that the fruit's abilities are quite well developed."
While Ronan was recovering from his injuries, Sean noticed that the life force of the big tree next to him had dropped. It was obvious that he had drained the life force of the tree.
The injury recovered quickly. Looking at the tomb robber in front of him, Ronan once again tightened his grip on the wooden stick in his hand. He already knew the power of the tomb robber from just that moment.
Seeing this scene, Sean spoke again.
"There is nothing in your grandfather's tomb, only an empty box. I'm not a tomb robber, I'm just very interested in him, so I came to take a look."
With that said, he stepped forward and Luffy's tomb closed.
Seeing this scene, the anger in Ronan's eyes lessened a bit, but his body was still tense.
"Monkey D. Ronan, let me introduce you formally. My name is Sean, and I would like to formally invite you to join my team."
Looking at Ronan, who was suspected of being of Luffy's blood, Sean had some other thoughts in his mind. Not to mention other things, this Ronan's qualifications were very outstanding, and he was a little monster who had not yet grown up.
"Do you want me to be your subordinate?"
After hearing Sean's words, Ronan asked.
"You can say that."
With a smile, Sean didn't deny Ronan's statement because that was the truth.
"Then I choose to refuse. I will never work as your subordinate, because I am a man who wants to become the Pirate King."
Hearing this, Sean smiled, but it was definitely not a laugh.
Although these words seemed to be second-rate, Sean could sense the seriousness in Ronan's words. The most important thing was that the other party had the potential to achieve this goal.
"Really? That's a shame, but what's the reason to stop a man from running towards the sea?"
Glancing into the depths of the forest, with a smile, Sean turned into a golden light and disappeared.
"Shaun the grave robber, I will defeat you one day."
Instinctively sensing the direction Sean left, Ronan shouted loudly.
After hearing this, Sean did not respond. Ronan did have the potential to become a monster, but after all, it was just a small episode. Since he rejected his solicitation, there was nothing to care about.
