Chapter 254 Poneglyph
Accompanied by the Bell Toll, the Golden Bell that had been covered in dust for a long time resounded throughout the heavens and earth once more.
It can be said that in this boundless Grand Line, there are still countless Secret Treasure and Legends hidden in the Years.
Even the lifelong pursuit of many Pirate is to find a Treasure that can stand the test of Time, so as to pass on their Reputation and Treasure together.
Of course, naming Treasure after oneself is something that many people dare not imagine, because to achieve that step, not only must there be huge Wealth and Secret Treasure, but also powerful Strength.
Bell-lin and others who came with Nicholas did not expect that in addition to the Golden Bell, a Poneglyph was actually embedded in the base of the Golden Bell.
Bell-lin was very surprised, and Nicholas, in fact, felt the same way.
Although he had already known that there was a Poneglyph on Sky Island, when he saw it with his own eyes, he could still feel the vicissitudes and desolation that existed on it.
Nicholas looked at the square Stone in front of him, which was five or six meters high. He glanced at the Ancient Text engraved on the surface of the Stone, and of course, he didn't recognize a single word.
"Was it placed here by the Shandians who built the Golden Bell back then? Or was the Golden Bell built for the Poneglyph? Will its Bell Toll guide someone to arrive here in the Future and obtain the information recorded on it?"
With a thought, Nicholas stepped forward and gently touched the Poneglyph with his hand, while Lightning flickered in his Palm.
After a simple check, Nicholas frowned slightly, because in his perception, the Golden Bell almost seamlessly wrapped the Poneglyph, which meant that the Golden Bell was tailor-made for this Poneglyph.
It's just that why the Poneglyph appeared in the Tribal Land of the Shandia People, and why the Shandia People have risked their lives to protect it for generations.
Could it be that the Shandians were also Partners with Joy Boy?
Then Nicholas shook his head.
No matter who placed the Poneglyph here, and whether the Ancestor of the Shandia People was once a Partner of Joy Boy, it is not something worth delving into.
The Shandian Chief also came to Nicholas's Side and looked up at the Ancient Text illuminated by the Sunlight.
The reason why they constantly fought with the Sky Islanders was not only to regain their Hometown, but also to regain the Golden Bell that their Ancestor had risked their lives to protect.
He naturally couldn't understand the Text on it, but he could feel a historical Aura rushing towards him.
This is also the unique sense of sight that Ancient Text brings.
"Chief, do you recognize the Text on it?"
A member of the Shandia People looked at the Chief and asked, after all, it was the ancestral Golden Bell, so the Chief might know what the Text recorded on it was about.
"Sometimes it is a blessing not to know certain Things."
Looking at the Poneglyph, the Shandian Chief thought of some Things that the previous Chief told him, which had been passed down by word of mouth among the Shandia Chiefs.
"Convey the true meaning to the heart, we are the people who weave History, and we are with the Bell Toll of the Great Bell Tower."
Just when the Chief was reminiscing about the glorious Years, Nicholas's voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Hearing this, the Shandian Chief suddenly turned his head to look at Nicholas, his Eyes filled with disbelief.
"How do you know these Words!?"
The Shandian Chief couldn't help but be surprised, because these Words were told to him by the previous Chief when he passed the position of Chief to him, and it was absolutely impossible for anyone else to know!
"What you think is a Secret is not a Secret in the eyes of others. The Things recorded on the Stone Tablet may be very magical Things to others, but for me, I have already mastered the Things recorded on the Stone Tablet, so there is no need to be surprised. What I am more interested in is, if one day in the Future someone appears who is very similar to the person the Shandia People followed eight hundred Years ago, what will you do?"
Hearing Nicholas's Words, the Shandian Chief fell into Silence, because there were indeed similar Records in the Chief's inheritance.
"Sorry, I can't answer you."
The Shandian Chief said after a moment of Silence.
"It's okay, just curious."
Nicholas said with a smile, and from the Shandian Chief's Words, he probably already knew the Answer.
Perhaps like Monkey D. Luffy in the Future, at the time of the final Battle, Fish-Man Island, Sky Island, Zou, and other People Luffy has helped may gather around Luffy again, just like they gathered around Joy Boy eight hundred Years ago.
The blank History 800 Years ago? Joy Boy?
Nicholas would be curious, but not interested.
Just like what he said to Roger back then, Joy Boy is essentially a loser. Even if another Man similar to Joy Boy appears, so what?
"Yohohoho, there are even Texts here."
Brook came to the Golden Bell, and in his hollow eye sockets, green Will-o'-the-Wisp suddenly appeared.
Then he used the Staff Sword in his hand to push aside the Vine next to the Poneglyph, revealing the Text inside.
It could be seen that the Text engraved on the golden base next to it was the same Text as the Poneglyph.
"I arrived here, and I will guide these Texts to the end. [Gol D. Roger]"
Bell-lin said softly.
As Bell-lin spoke, Nicholas was immediately dumbfounded. Bell-lin could understand these Things?
Seeming to see Nicholas's doubts, Bell-lin said softly: "When I was in Wano Country, I asked Simon to collect a lot of Books, including the Books passed down by the Shogun of Wano Country through the generations. I saw the Texts we saw at Fish-Man Island in one of the Books, so I learned it. It's not that difficult actually."
Looking at Bell-lin, who suddenly became a bit of a show-off, Nicholas, the academic failure, suddenly felt ashamed, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Gold around the Poneglyph.
The moment his Palm touched the surface of the Gold, the Lightning Smithing Ability was instantly activated. Accompanied by high heat, the Stone of the Poneglyph separated from the base of the Golden Bell.
Since Roger believed in Fate and placed the Future on the next generation of Joy Boy, Nicholas didn't mind increasing the difficulty a bit.
He reached out and grabbed the Stone of the Poneglyph.
A trace of coolness went straight to his Palm and penetrated into his skin, Flesh and Blood, and even his bone marrow.
This touch made Nicholas truly feel the extraordinary texture of the Poneglyph.
As a carrier of History, this seemed to be a unique Stone that could not be destroyed.
Lightning flowed out from his Palm and attached to the surface of the Poneglyph Stone Tablet.
Then his Palm exerted force suddenly, and he forcibly pulled the Poneglyph out of the base of the Golden Bell.
Looking at the Poneglyph being slowly pulled out from the base of the Golden Bell, the Shandian Chief couldn't help but hesitate, but looking at the Lightning on Nicholas's hand and Nicholas's Companions standing beside him, the Shandian Chief chose Silence, after all, the situation was stronger than people.
Looking at the Poneglyph that Nicholas had completely pulled out, Katie patted the Poneglyph Stone Tablet with the Sheath of her Dual Swords and asked curiously: "Captain, it is said that Poneglyphs are an indestructible Stone that cannot be destroyed by manpower or Nature?"
"It seems to be the case."
Nicholas nodded and said, and then he saw Simon, Brook, Katie, Vistad, and Monk Urouge all showing eager expressions.
