Chapter 13
Carl stared blankly at the bounty order, feeling a sense of loss in his heart. He didn't know what was wrong, but he felt empty inside, as if he had lost the motivation to move forward. He didn't know what to do next.
Carl took the latest bounty order in his hand, flew out of Rabbit Bowl listlessly, and then arrived at the border of Wano Country, ready to dive in.
At this time, he saw a boat floating on the turbulent sea, with a group of people standing on it surrounding several other people.
Carl flew to the deck and saw a group of people on the Jackson, but one person was missing.
"Hey, Carl.
Shanks and Buggy saw Carl coming on the boat and hurried over to greet him.
Carl looked at the two people coming over and saw their red and swollen eyes. He knew that they must have cried just now.
"Carl, the captain said the pirate group has disbanded. Where do you think we should go from now on?"
"I don't know Shanks."
Baki's eyes rolled around, and Carl knew that this guy was definitely up to no good.
At this time, Kozuki Oden and the two retainers, Cat and Dog, came out together.
"Everyone, let's send them here."
Kozuki Oden broke his promise. He was supposed to return to Whitebeard's ship with Roger after a year, but he broke his promise and chose to return to Wano Country to wait for the founding of Wano Country.
There were also Kozuki Toki's mother and son and the rest of the Nine Red Scabbards who came to greet them on the shore, because Carl gave them food and money from time to time in the past six months. Although the mother and son were not very rich, they were not poor. Just like the original anime, Kozuki Oden's illness was not only not cured when he returned, but also worsened. The whole family had no food to eat, and the clothes they wore were all patched.
But no matter what, Kozuki Oden still had to fight Kurozumi Orochi, and then became His Highness the Fool, and then fought Kaido, and was killed by Kaido. All this was to welcome Joy Boy 25 years later.
And Roger never thought until his death that he thought Joy Boy was his unborn son, but in fact, he was not. The real Joy Boy was the grandson of his lifelong rival.
The Jackson left the Udon Port and sailed towards the edge of Wano Country.
……
A week later, the Jackson returned to the Grand Line. The flag of Roger's pirate group was still flying on the ship, and the ship was docked at the harbor of a small town.
Carl picked up the bag and said,"Just send it here, Mr. Rayleigh, everyone."
He was about to fly away when Rayleigh pulled him back and said,"Hey, kid, this is the information Roger asked me to find out about the location of the Seven Star Sword before he left."
Then he threw a compass to Carl and said,"This is the permanent pointer I asked someone to burn. It can find the coordinates of the Asuka Island where the Seven Star Sword is located. As for the authenticity of this Seven Star Sword, I don't know, because the locals don't allow this sword to be shown to others, and it's said that this sword is a demon sword. As for whether you want to go, it's up to you to decide."
"Thank you Mr. Rayleigh, I will definitely go there. If it is just a legend, then I will just go there for fun."
"Shanks, Buggy, do you two want to come with me?"
"No, Carl, I have already planned to form my own pirate group and go out to sea in a few years. Do you want to come on my ship then?"
How could Carl possibly hang out with him? You know, the pirate group formed by Shanks is notoriously poor, so he refused directly. Carl knew at a glance that Shanks was targeting him. From the first day they met, he found that his ambition was not that big, but since Roger's life began to enter a one-year countdown, Shanks began to practice hard, and the intensity of his practice was almost catching up with Carl.
You know, Carl himself has a mythical beast devil fruit, plus his own special bloodline constitution is not comparable to ordinary people.
Although Shanks is very likely a descendant of the Celestial Dragon God Knights, after all, his strength is there, no matter who wants to surpass Carl at the same age.
Shanks found that he couldn't fool Carl, so he could only turn his head to look at Buggy.
Buggy was a little scared when he looked at him like this.
Besides, the thing he loved most in his life was treasure, and he was not interested in taking risks.
How could he be fooled by Shanks to get on the ship? Besides, Shanks cheated him of a lot of treasures when he was on the Jackson.
How could he be on the same ship with Shanks? And the most important thing is that he is afraid of death. He was brought by Roger since he was a child. He was brought up by a ship and has been adventuring on the Jackson until now. He is already fourteen years old. I don't want to be a pirate all my life. He himself has no interest in One Piece, because in the past few days, Rayleigh told them everything he saw on the Final Island.
Among the three of them, except Shanks who was very active, Carl and Buggy were the most disdainful. They preferred to do what they liked more than One Piece.
Carl has also figured out his goals and future plans in the past few days. In addition to avenging the extermination of his clan, what he wants most is to form a He will build his own pirate group and wait until everything is ready, then set sail to the New World and become one of the Four Emperors before Shanks.
Besides, even if he wants to change the world, he is not the destined one after all, and he will die. He doesn't think that he can turn the world upside down by himself. Without the right time, place and people, let alone muddying the water, he may be strangled in the cradle before he can cause any damage.
So now he must enjoy his free time, and then go to the New World to make trouble. He is not very interested in the title of Pirate King, but Carl has coveted the title of the Four Emperors for a long time.
"Shanks, Buggy, see you again someday. I hope to see your names on the wanted posters then, hahahahaha."
After saying that, Carl flapped his wings and flew in the direction of the recording pointer.
……
One day later, Carl arrived at Askka Island. Not far away, he looked at the lively crowd on the island and the vendors who were shouting from time to time. He found a relatively secluded place to land.
After folding his wings, he walked out of the forest and walked on the street.
Carl originally wanted to inquire about the news of the Seven Star Sword, but he learned from the locals that this was not a secret at all. According to legend, Askka Island was a kingdom before. The three princes of the kingdom fell in love with a witch at the same time, so they asked for the holy sword Seven Star Sword, which represented the throne.
Then they launched a war. However, the holy sword was born with self-awareness after absorbing too many lives. The people who mastered the holy sword were gradually controlled by the holy sword, and then began to kill and destroy indiscriminately, causing great casualties. In order to save everyone from the war, the witch gave her life to eliminate the blood and hatred absorbed by the Seven Star Sword.
In order to repay the death of the witch they loved deeply, the three princes prayed to God and got three gems from the gods of Askka, and sealed the power of the Seven Star Sword, which would become a demon sword.
As for whether there is such a holy sword, they don't know. After all, the legend is just a legend. If you want to verify the authenticity, you can go to a tribe on the island that claims to be the descendants of the witch. The story is probably similar to the original anime.
Carl gave the local natives a few hundred Baileys and followed the direction he pointed. When he walked to the depths of the island, he saw a lake. On the shore of the lake were stone statues carved out of stone and things similar to altars in the world.
Although it was dark when he found this place, the altar was brightly lit, and candles lit with animal fat were lit all around.
At this time, there was no one around the altar, which looked a bit weird. Carl spread his wings and flew to the side of the altar. He found a bright entrance next to it. After entering it, he turned more than a dozen alleys and went to the wrong rooms and finally found a stone room with a sarcophagus.
The Seven Star Sword should be inside in the original text. Carl was very alert and his three domineering powers were fully opened. In the original text, this demon sword can control people's minds. Although Carl was sure to subdue him, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Carl pushed open the coffin lid, and what came into view was a sword about two meters long, with a green light reflecting on the blade, as if it was made of jade, and beautiful patterns were engraved on it, adding a bit of beauty to the long sword.
Carl took a deep breath and prepared himself to grab the hilt of the sword. For a moment, an evil force flowed into Carl's body from the hilt of the Seven Star Sword.
No matter what type of demon sword it is, it likes the owner to be a king, so Carl directly released the domineering aura to fight against this green evil breath.
But Carl only released a little bit of the domineering aura and the sword began to dim. It was like two people fighting and the other person was exhausted and fell to the ground.
At this time, the blade of the Seven Star Sword no longer had the green color just now, and the blade began to look like an extinguished candle. Then there was a sound of breaking, and then the whole sword broke into countless knots.
Carl was dumbfounded. How could the Seven Star Sword that he had found with great difficulty be like a fake? Even if it was not completely unsealed, it would not be so fragile.
Carl felt that the thing he had been looking forward to was so rubbish, which really affected his mood. It was like when he was a child, he kept watching other people eat snacks and always vowed to buy them when he grew up. But when he grew up and had the spending power, he bought the snacks from his childhood and found that they were not that delicious.
Carl walked out of the stone chamber disappointedly. At this time, a voice came from outside the passage.
"Quick, my mother-in-law said someone broke into the altar, go and stop him."
Then a dozen strong men rushed in, and when they saw that it was just a child, they immediately raised their weapons and shouted
"Boy, who told you to come in here? Where did you put the holy sword? Hand it over quickly, you can’t take it out."
Carl pointed and said,"Look, it’s there. It’s broken. I just held the hilt and it broke."
