Anime Heroine Who Travels Through the Blackened Way

“What do you mean… there may be a powerful pirate attacking with one enemy? Even, they may bypass the frontal fortifications and invade from other places?”

Kosha naturally understood the meaning of Dalton’s words, and a sneer came from the side of the hall, which made Dalton, who was the captain of the guard, couldn’t help but look a little worse. Obviously, there are still a few different people here. What a popular guy.

“It’s very common to fight one hundred against one hundred. Although we are not pirates, if it is just an army of this level, it will be a death sentence in front of us.”

It was none other than the MR5 who was leaning on the pillars and dragging his face. As a spy who stayed here to monitor Kosha, Nami certainly didn’t expect these guys to be of any great use. After all, she controlled Kou. Sha’s method is not power at all, but Kosha’s own sense of responsibility and maintenance of Wei Wei, so leaving these spies here is more like meaning.

But there seems to be some misunderstanding of what she meant, so the attitude of the agents who stayed here is obviously not very good. Naturally, it is not surprising that Dalton and others do not like her.

“If that’s the case, then if this country really encounters a one-hundred-hundred pirate attack, you will have to go and fight it.”

However, Kou Sha is a qualified leader after all. He is not angry with MR5’s boasting words, but he added a requirement of responsibility for keeping the soil, which immediately made MR5 frown unhappily: “Hey. , has this guy finally recognized his identity? Don’t forget that you are just a **** of the boss…”

“Report~! Your Majesty the King, His Excellency the Captain of the Guard, a pirate ship was found on the coast!”

However, just before MR5’s voice fell, an anxious sentry rushed in from outside the hall, and his words made everyone subconsciously tense!

Hades’ Gate

Facts have proved that no matter how deeply buried a secret is, it is still no match for perseverance.

“Even though I already knew what a terrible secret there would be, I still felt an indescribable chill when I saw this moment with my own eyes.”

Like muttering to himself or expressing emotion, Robin’s eyes were also filled with a gloomy feeling at this moment, and the reason was the amazing scene presented in front of her.

Under the hard work of the Mole Man MISS Merry Christmas, the thick yellow sand deposited in Alabasta for centuries did not form much obstacle. Under the general direction pointed out by the information on the blood drop stone, the success of the excavation was only a matter of time. Not at all surprising.

[The body withers, the joy fades away, on the pillars of the temple, where the sun fades away, is the residence of Hades. 】

The riddle given by the blood drop stone did not stumped Nami and Robin. After all, as long as you consider the environment and cultural customs where the riddle is located, and then infer the hidden meaning, you can basically understand what it means. .

The first two sentences, ‘the body fades away, the joy fades away’, may be directly associated with death and ending in other cultures, but Alabasta is precisely a country with an Egyptian-like culture. Naturally, it is similar to Egypt. The similarities are not only in the desert and architectural styles, but also in the tomb culture, that is, mummies and mythological stories about life and death. These two points can be seen from the statues of jackals and falcons.

It should be noted here that this burial culture does not think that death is withering and passing away, they just think that death represents another kind of beginning. Naturally, human corpses will not wither, but can become a container for the soul after being made into a mummy, allowing the soul of the deceased to use it as a residence and travel to and from this world at will. In such ‘freedom’, of course, there is no fading away of joy.

Therefore, what these two sentences indicate should be the exact opposite of the Alabasta tombs, that is to say: those who have not been mummified, and they will naturally not enjoy the so-called afterlife. The world belongs to the real body withering and joy disappearing.

In the case of sufficient information channels, it is not very difficult to find such a place. For example: one is unclear in the official materials of Alabasta, but almost all the older residents of Alabasta know that there is such a place Place – A place where a group of plague victims was buried some time ago.

The plague made it impossible for the corpse to be carefully mummified, and it would inevitably wither. In the culture of Alabasta, if the body that can be used as a container is lost, the soul will be lost forever in pain and hesitation, and naturally not. What joy will there be.

In other words, the first two sentences are to tell the seeker that the location is not in the area involving the tomb, but in the opposite place of death. And those old people in Alabasta who knew the existence of this place were also at a loss. Robin tried his best to ask many old people who knew the answer, and the answers he got were all of them when he was a child or when he didn’t know. The rumors, but who told them specifically, and the specific location, they said they didn’t know anything. So it is certain that there is indeed a mysterious force lingering near Alabasta, at least they were still active about 50 to 70 years ago, and they vaguely spread such rumors. , the purpose is to tell possible seekers that such a place does exist.

Therefore, the next three sentences are obviously to make precise positioning for such a place.

On the pillars of the temple, there are many temples in the entire country of Alabasta, which are undoubtedly dedicated to the gods such as jackals or falcons in their cultural beliefs. It is obviously not easy to find the real giant pillar in the middle, but for Nami, who has become somewhat enlightened, this is not a problem.

After all, Pluto is an ancient weapon capable of subverting the entire world. Such a world-class force cannot be condescended to a place that is too small. So, looking at the whole of Alabasta, if it is really a mystery person who is arrogant enough to have a “world-destroying” force, what will it be like for the “temple” in his mind?

[Huh… Well, I’m sure I’m no stranger to this kind of thinking and personality, so the answer to the puzzles posed by people like this is: The so-called temple is the whole of Alabasta. Naturally, the so-called giant column is nothing but the cylindrical base that carries the entire capital of Albana. 】

This is the answer that Nami gave to Robin before, and the tone of her answer was undoubtedly embarrassing and helpless. After all, she is indeed familiar with similar practices like this. It seems that those who claim to be great all like it. Give yourself something bigger and beyond ‘mortal’ thinking as much as possible. Whether it’s carving your own head and face on the top of the mountain for the world to admire, or attending various lectures introducing your successful experience, or even driving longer and accelerating cars and yachts, drinking older, more expensive brands and louder brands The wine, **** with taller and more noble women, etc… Basically, it’s all of the same nature.

Robin naturally agrees with Nami’s analysis, although she must have seen Nami’s embarrassment. After all, for Nami, she did experience those feelings herself, but unfortunately she soon felt the childishness and boredom of those actions, so now let herself go back to that similar mentality again to analyze, which Basically, it is no less than recalling her childhood when she pretended to be a little girl and then worked as a mannequin for a photo studio. Especially the **** was that the photo studio asked for a little boy to be a brother and a little girl to be a sister, and because of her age and lack of resistance, she could only choose the role of her sister.

In short, since the most difficult riddle has been solved, the last two sentences are very simple. Where the sun disappears is the direction the sun sets. Standing on the tallest lighthouse in Albana and looking in that direction, you can just notice a very large sand dune area. If you don’t know this puzzle, those sand dunes are not surprising, but knowing these If you look at the information again, you will undoubtedly be able to discover the strangeness of this dune.

And after nearly a week of continuous digging for MISS Merry Christmas, they finally found what Robin and Nami were guessing.

A heavy and rusty iron door appeared in front of Robin. Its size undoubtedly exceeded the ordinary concept represented by the word ‘door’. That’s enough to show how big the stuff is behind it.

“If I continue to dig, I’m afraid that the surrounding sand will not be able to support it and it will collapse. This is the best I can do~ My waist hurts~! Give me a vacation~!”

The noisy MISS Merry Christmas thumped his waist while protesting to Robin very rudely, and with a slight smile, Robin also responded very politely to MISS Merry Christmas: “Of course, the BOSS has already said it. , you and MR4 can leave Alabasta right now and go to the Pleasure Island to relax, and the salary and bonus will follow.”

“Well~ then I’ll leave, hurry up! MR4, you fat pig~!”

MISS Merry Christmas also immediately called her partner to leave here without any attachment, and it was not difficult to see from her slightly trembling fingers that she was in fear.

After all, she is definitely not an idiot. After seeing this terrifyingly large iron door, she somewhat understands that she has dug up something so terrifying that she can’t even mention it casually. In this case, if Robin and the MR0 want to keep it secret, she and the employees involved in the excavation are most likely to be forced to shut up. So right now, running away quickly is the most important thing. And if she didn’t need to keep secrets, she would still be useful sooner or later. Now it’s just right to take the opportunity to take a quick vacation and relax.

Looking at the back of MISS Merry Christmas, Robin’s eyes really flashed a bit of ruthlessness. She is not a woman who can’t kill, and this thing in front of her really gives her the motivation to kill, and her ability is also Enough to kill MR4 and MISS Merry Christmas, but…

Looking back at the huge iron gate, Robin still gave up the urge to do it now. After all, he has only found the tip of the iceberg of this thing. Who knows if he needs to continue digging after the exploration is completed, and kill it now. MISS Merry Christmas is not wise.

The iron door that is so huge is undoubtedly beyond the level that normal human power can open. In fact, it is not completely manual. Above the huge door, there are five huge metal grooves. The shapes of the grooves are arranged in the shape of a positive cross. The shapes of the grooves are ‘triangle’, ‘square’, ‘cylinder’, and ‘strip’ respectively, and in the middle is an equally huge ‘cross’. This strange symbol is obviously not What decorations, in fact, they should be the keyhole of this iron door. And the five different patterns should be five keys with different shapes. Although judging from the size of the keyhole, the size of these five keys may have reached the point where a giant can barely use it.

In the end, this weird arrangement also made Robin feel a little uncomfortable. If she remembered correctly, the current flag pattern of the World Government is exactly the cross-shaped pattern very similar to this arrangement, except that the cross-shaped pattern of the World Government The flag pattern, whose five points are all circles of the same size and shape, seems to be trying to prove that they are equal.

But in any case, what is presented to Robin at this moment is undoubtedly the legendary terrifying weapon and the gate to Hades that leads to that weapon.

vengeful heart

“According to the width of the gate, the quality of this thing alone is enough to make the world look at it.”

Nami looked up at the massive gate in front of her, and her words did not conceal her emotion and shock at all. For her, the biggest combat weapon she had ever heard of was only its overall length. The aircraft carrier is about 300 meters away, but the thing in front of me is just an iron gate to log in, and it has almost reached the level of nearly 200 meters. It is not difficult to judge from the undoubted metal texture. If the overall frame of this thing really adds up, its displacement may be difficult to calculate.

This is also the reason why Nami is sure that the world government cannot turn a blind eye to this thing, although she does not know what the Nafirutali royal family of Alabasta has done, so that the world government ignores or does not know that Hades is buried in this country But at present it seems that it doesn’t matter whether the thing dug up is Pluto or not, its terrifying size and quality are enough to convey a huge amount of scientific and technological information, although…

So far, Nami and the others are just standing outside the iron gate, unable to spy on the secrets inside it.

And Robin, who was standing behind Nami, had a somewhat rare expression. The intelligent female archaeologist lost her usual calmness at the moment, but replaced it with an almost perceptible emotional conflict. The blowing flames swayed violently, but could not be extinguished no matter what, and the name of this emotion was also very dangerous, that is – resentment.

“Do you want revenge? Robin.”

There was no need to look back, Nami was already able to perceive the blood reaction of Robin behind her, which was different from the usual calm and stable pulse, but was mixed with anger like flames, resentment like poisonousness, and… A kind of hesitation that is entangled in the two, like a gust of wind that cannot be caught.

“…I…!”

Suddenly called by Nami, Robin’s answer didn’t have time to return to calm, but this response with fierce staccato has undoubtedly explained her heart more or less.

Sighing lightly, Nami turned to look at Robin in front of her. It was not difficult for her to see through Robin’s mood at the moment, not only because Robin’s blood reaction had revealed the truth , but also because of everything she had learned about this woman a long time ago.

Like the elders, he loved the professors who taught him from childhood, the mother who separated from his childhood until the very end, the giant friend who gave his life to give him birth, and the one who, although suffering, provided him with a stable life and study to the hometown of O’Hara at the age of 8. All of these, on that day, were all burned in the raging flames by the ruthless slaughtering orders of the Navy.

Immediately after that, tens of millions of wanted orders spread all over the world, so that they brought betrayal, betrayal, and pursuit again and again. From the age of 8 to the age of 28, what she experienced was only The three repetitions above are either betrayed and betrayed by others, or betrayed and betrayed others first, in exchange for getting away again and again. This kind of life gave birth to fear, loneliness, haggard, exhaustion, and even made Robin give up hope early and just wanted to do his best to interpret what he was able to do. The world text, you can give up this too heavy life.

However, human emotions cannot be the only ones. Under the accumulation of these pains and fears, resentment and anger will never be absent. Simply because both emotions were overwhelmed by an almost infinite despair.

Having been on the run in this world for 20 years, Robin already knew why she was being hunted, and she knew exactly who wanted her to die. That is the ruling organization of this world, the government in the name of the world, and the behemoth formed by the joint alliance of hundreds of countries. Even the general Aokiji who terrified her the most was just a stronger domestic dog under the World Government. How can such an enemy take revenge on him?

Even Crocodile, who is currently working with him, seems to have a great name, but his status as the king of Shichibukai is only one of the other dogs in the world government.

Therefore, Robin was desperate for revenge early on, and after meeting the Straw Hats in the original book, while she felt real friendship, she would never hope that these companions would be killed because of her hatred. Destruction, it is naturally even more impossible to try to challenge the world government.

But this doesn’t mean that the resentment in her heart disappeared. Those desires for revenge were just suppressed in the depths of her heart by her concern for her companions. There is always a dark shadow in her heart, so there are some dark sides that erupt from time to time.

So, this is why Nami sighed: she knew very well that Robin could no longer return to the state of mind in the original book, because the desire for revenge in her heart had been changed from the Pluto that she had touched in front of her eyes. Under the suppression of despair, he escaped.
