Chapter 196 Altar

Underground at First Cathedral, the tomb of Marquis Ogast.

Rocks walked to the dark altar, gently opened the coffin, and took out the purple devil fruit inside.

"Hey, Boss Rocks, is this the devil fruit of the phantom beast type you mentioned?"

Enel asked curiously as he looked at the Devil Fruit in Rocks' hand.

"Ah, that should be it. However, I am more interested in this black altar and coffin than this devil fruit."

Rocks put the purple Devil Fruit into his arms and looked at the coffin and altar in front of him.

"Indeed. I didn't expect that this altar can actually transform the devil fruit in the dead human body. It's really miraculous."

"Pah, pah, pah..."

"You are worthy of being the great pirate with a bounty of two billion Baileys, Captain Rocks. He was able to defeat that monster so easily."

Reinhardt clapped his hands and walked out of the dark corner, looking at Rocks with an expression of great amazement.

"Count Reinhardt, why, don't you want to take a closer look?"

Rocks was not surprised at all when Reinhardt appeared here.

"Sister Maria, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."

"Your honor, Mr. Rocks."

Maria bowed slightly and saluted respectfully.

"Hehehe, Captain Rocks, thank you very much for being able to eliminate this monster. On behalf of all the residents of Sleeping Ancient Town, I thank you."

Reinhard bowed and saluted Rocks.

Locks didn't pay attention and waited for Reinhardt's next words.

Reinhard bowed, then walked slowly to the altar and gently closed the lid of the coffin.

"Hundreds of years have passed in a blink of an eye. It's really a long time."

Reinhard said with some emotion, raised his head slightly and looked around the room.

"Did you know that the monster you killed just now is the first generation head of our family, Marquis Ogast?"

"He used to be so handsome, handsome, and powerful."

"Relying on his unparalleled power, he has protected this island for more than two hundred years. However, in the end, it is fate."

Reinhardt slowly told the story about Marquis Ogast.

........

After a long time, the story was finished, and Reinhardt walked towards Rocks.

"Thank you again for allowing our ancestors to rest forever."

Rocks waved his hand casually and walked towards the altar.

"Then, Mr. Count Reinhardt, can you tell me about this altar? I am very interested in this altar."

Reinhardt was not surprised when he heard Rocks' words.

"An altar? It doesn't hurt to tell you. This was built by our family's ancestor, Ogast, eight hundred years ago."

"We don't know exactly where the technology was obtained. Because of that part of the record, the family has been separated over the past few hundred years. However, as for the only use of this altar, Mr. Captain Rocks You’ve experienced it.”

"Yes, it can reincarnate the Devil Fruit in the dead person's body into the nearest fruit."

"This is a secret that our family has guarded for generations. Please help us keep it. I don't want our family to be destroyed because of this thing."

After receiving a positive answer, Rocks smiled.

"This is really a good thing."

Rocks looked at the small altar in front of him with twinkling eyes.

Locks was very happy to have such a thing.

Because of it, Rocks can completely rely on him to form a powerful army of ability users.

Moreover, with him, Rocks will not let Shiji's powerful ability dissipate on its own and be reincarnated.

"Count Reinhardt, I have taken a liking to this thing. Please give me this church and this altar. Of course, in exchange, our Rocks Pirates will protect this island from any sea The intrusion of thieves.”

Rocks made his decision and then said it directly to Reinhardt.

Although there was no force in the tone, it was full of dominance that could not be refused.

Reinhard glanced at Rocks with a twinkling expression.

He knew that as long as Rocks knew the function of this altar, Rocks would definitely not give up.

However, Reinhard would not simply give away his family's treasures so easily.

"Haha. Mr. Captain Rocks, I am honored to be protected by your pirate group. However, after all, this is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in our family."

Rocks looked calmly at Reinhardt, who was smiling.

"Say what you want."

"Hehehe, he is indeed Captain Rocks."

Reinhard said with a chuckle, and then looked at Rocks seriously.

"Captain Rocks, I have only one condition."

"Our family was once a royal family of the Kingdom of France in the New World. Eight hundred years ago, our country was destroyed due to a war that swept the world."

"The only long-cherished wish of our family is to rebuild the original Kingdom of France. If you are willing to help me rebuild the kingdom, then I am willing to give you the entire Sleeping Town. And when the kingdom is established, I am willing to give you forever Allegiance."

"My country will hang the flag of your pirate group and become your territory."

"What do you think?"

Reinhardt looked at Rocks with a smile, waiting for his answer.

Rocks stared at Reinhardt quietly and did not reply immediately.

"You are quite powerful and have such an altar. Why would you want my help?"

"With your strength and this altar, I believe that you should have a good force. You can completely rebuild the country with your own strength, right?"

Rocks looked at Reinhardt curiously.

From the very beginning, Locks's natural sense of observation had already noticed that Reinhardt had good power.

Although he is not at the top and cannot join the ranks of gold medal players, he is still good enough to dominate among silver medal players.

With such strength, it is completely possible to build a country on your own.

Moreover, with this altar, he will not lack powerful devil fruit abilities at all.

"Hehehe, Mr. Captain Rocks. You are really joking."

"Although I have good strength, I am still useless compared to the top powerhouses in the sea like you."

"Also, although I have some good power, I can't establish myself in the new world."

"You also know. The new world is a place where only the strong can gain a foothold. And if I want to rebuild the kingdom, it is simply impossible for me to rely solely on myself."

Reinhardt sighed.

If he had top-notch combat power like Rocks, he wouldn't want to attach himself to the Rocks Pirates.

Moreover, the secrets of his family have been completely known to the other party, and he has to consider a retreat.

After all, pirates are unreasonable.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you directly and occupy this island?"

Locks looked at Reinhardt curiously.

"Haha, of course I am afraid. However, I think that my life should be more valuable than my death. After all, I have what you need most now, Captain Rocks."

"intelligence."
