Chapter 135

"You are tired too, go take a bath and have a good sleep. Tomorrow, you will see a reborn Alabasta."

"Hmm!"

Vivi nods heavily and says goodbye to her father, Cobra.

She is indeed too tired, and even walking is very difficult.

But she is very strong and doesn't let anyone help.

That night, Vivi washes herself clean and sleeps more sweetly than ever before.

In the palace.

After Vivi leaves, King Cobra is silent for a while and says:

"Fifth Emperor, I am very grateful to you for saving my country and my daughter. However, the poor Alabasta has nothing of value to repay you."

Apparently.

Even though Luo Xing brought rain to Alabasta and recognized his daughter as a younger sister, Cobra still doesn't trust Luo Xing very much.

At the very least, he has no intention of telling Luo Xing the news about Pluton.

Luo Xing had expected this long ago.

After all, Cobra isn't as simple as Vivi; how can the evil of human nature be seen just by looking at the surface.

Luo Xing isn't angry either, smiling:

"A good person does good deeds, why would they need any reward?"

Cobra is stunned.

Could it be that he guessed the intentions of this Fifth Emperor wrong?

Could it be that this man doesn't want the Ancient Weapon Pluton?

"I don't need any reward," Luo Xing continues unhurriedly, "it’s just that I will break a piece of ground not far from here in a moment, I hope you don't mind."

Cobra’s body shakes violently, his eyes full of disbelief, and he blurts out:

"Impossible, how could you know..."

The real Poneglyph is hidden underground in Alabasta!

But Cobra had never told anyone, how did Luo Xing know?

Is this man really an omnipotent and omniscient god?

Luo Xing smiles without saying a word.

The intelligent Nico Robin immediately guesses the truth through Cobra’s expression.

She is very excited.

"So the Poneglyph is hidden underground; no wonder Crocodile and I searched for so long and didn't find it!"

At the same time, she and Cobra are equally confused: how did Luo Xing know about this?

Cobra takes a long time to recover from the shock and smiles bitterly:

"Since you already know, there is no point in me hiding it anymore; come with me."

Cobra resigns himself to his fate; anyway, he can't hide it, and besides, Luo Xing is a great benefactor of Alabasta, so let’s offer the Poneglyph to him.

Cobra triggers a mechanism, and soon a large hole appears in the ground.

Cobra walks in front to lead the way.

Luo Xing follows closely behind, and the third is the excited Robin.

Finally, Jack and Who's-Who.

Luo Xing and Robin walk almost together, very close, and Luo Xing can smell the fragrance on Robin.

Luo Xing says softly:

"It may not be what you want; true history is not so easy to uncover."

Robin, who is excited about seeing the Poneglyph, suddenly looks up at Luo Xing when she hears this.

Their eyes meet.

Robin’s beautiful eyes flash with some strange and incredible light.

She discovers that this man is not as terrifying as she imagined, and is different from all the superiors she has experienced before.

And it seems there is nothing this man doesn't know.

This mysterious feeling makes Robin feel a bit of fear.

Robin squeezes out a smile:

"Thank you for your concern, my lord Luo Xing."

Under Cobra’s leadership, everyone soon arrives in front of a huge stone tablet.

On the stone tablet, many complex and strange symbols are carved.

These symbols, in this sea, can only be interpreted by Robin.

Robin’s body trembles slightly; history is her faith, the lifelong dream of the sacrificed Ohara scholars, how could she not be excited?

Robin walks up to the huge stone tablet and touches those symbols with her hand.

As she reads symbol after symbol, Robin’s excitement gradually disappears and turns into unparalleled disappointment.

Fortunately, because of Luo Xing’s words just now, her disappointment hasn't turned into despair.

In the original work,

Robin, who didn't see the true history at this moment, was already dead inside and didn't want to live anymore.

If it weren't for Luffy’s overbearing rescue, she might have really died.

And this time, there is no Luffy, but there is Luo Xing giving her new hope.

Luo Xing paces to her side and says in a calm voice:

"There are many Poneglyphs; only by piecing them together can we know the truth of the blank century."

"If you want to know, I can take you to find them."

"But the premise is that you must be willing to get on my ship."

127. The Whereabouts of Pluton, the Belly-Black Robin, Three Poneglyphs

Seeing Robin looking at him with strange eyes, Luo Xing asks the others to go out.

Jack and Who's-Who naturally have no objections.

Since Cobra has already brought Luo Xing here, he has even less to worry about or hide.

The biggest secret of Alabasta is this Poneglyph recording the whereabouts of Pluton.

He didn't intend to tell Luo Xing before; after all, Luo Xing is ultimately a pirate.

But Luo Xing actually knew the hiding place of the Poneglyph long ago, so Cobra had no choice.

Fortunately,

Cobra still has an eye for people.

He can see that Luo Xing may not be a pure good person, but he is definitely not a demon who toys with people’s hearts like Crocodile.

And Alabasta, which has been in drought for many years, has now received sweet rain.

In the future, under the protection of the Beasts Pirates, no pirates will dare to harm the people of Alabasta, and the people’s lives will get better and better.

Because of this, even if the Ancient Weapon Pluton is really controlled by the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing and the Beasts Pirates, Cobra can actually accept it in his heart.

After all,

as one of the twenty kingdoms that created the World Government eight hundred years ago, the Nefertari family had long ago lost all trust in the world ruled by the Celestial Dragons today.

After Cobra and the others leave.

Robin speaks with a strange expression:

"Do I have a choice?"

19

She seems to want to laugh but doesn't dare to.

"What is the difference between being willing to get on your ship and being forced to get on the ship?"

Luo Xing answers very seriously:

"You indeed have no choice, but there is still a big difference between being willing and being forced."

"If you are willing, you will live a little happier; being forced is inevitably sad."

Pfft~

Robin really can't help but cover her lips and laugh, and the look she gives Luo Xing becomes even stranger.

"Mysterious Fifth Emperor, inventor greater than Vegapunk, I didn't expect you to be such a person, making people feel... um, a bit cute?"
