96. Conjecture On The Historical Text
After returning to G-5, Tom walked into Dylan's office carrying a large box.
"It was sent by Gild Tesoro's people after you left."
Tom set down the box and walked out. Dylan approached the box, opened it, took a look, and quickly closed it.
"This guy..."
He finally understood the meaning behind Tesoro's words.
"See if you can make the world a better place again."
This was the "wealth" Tesoro had carefully reserved.
After sighing, Dylan placed the box into his ring.

A month later, Dylan received new information.
"Many unfamiliar faces have appeared in and around Sabaody Archipelago. We haven't contacted them directly, but it appears they might be gathering from the 'Four Seas'."
Tahir reviewed the information in his hand. "It's worth noting that some of them are suspected to be related to the original members of the Roger Pirates, and some seem connected to the East Blue group."
"What about Rayleigh, Shakky, Crocus, Scopper Gaban?"
Tahir shook his head. "No trace of them. With their skills... it's likely difficult for our agents to make contact."
Dylan pondered deeply after listening to Tahir's report. There was no news from East Blue, indicating they weren't heading there.
It seemed they were cautious about East Blue.
Having moved out of East Blue, they've relocated most people to the Grand Line.
Dylan felt a bit worried. His control over the Grand Line wasn't as deep or extensive as Shanks imagined.
The power in this sea surrounding the world was complex. Despite being here for nearly ten years, his control wasn't as strong as in East Blue.
No... his power wasn't what he expected.
There was only a little more than a year left before the so-called "new dawn," and he needed to move faster!
"Where's that giant? The one who came here for 'recruitment' last time."
"Salpa D. Oblon. According to your request, he's still training with Zephyr and hasn't been assigned to a specific combat unit."
Giants, dwarves, mink people, fish people.
G-5 had acquired some alien races...
No... they couldn't be called that. Except for the Tontatta tribe, everyone else was an individual, not a group.
Moreover, according to Gancho, the Tontatta tribe was just one of the dwarves tribes and didn't represent all of them.
"With Zephyr, Tom, and you at the base, let other combat troops set sail and compete with Teach for the territory of the original Whitebeard Pirates. Manage the proportions and expand to a certain extent to establish a new kingdom. Don't include them all under the name 'Greenbit'."
"Yes."
Dylan stared at the map. Wano Country was too far away. Last time, he picked up Tama when Kaido was out, but now, Kaido was almost always on Onigashima.
A large-scale attack on Wano Country was unrealistic, and even if he attacked alone, he might not be able to capture Kaido quickly.
The other Emperors who received the news would undoubtedly rush to Wano Country or raid G-5 for various reasons.
Linlin, who was friends with Kaido, Shanks who was committed to maintaining balance and waiting for Joy Boy to grow up, and Teach, the opportunist.
Even if those guys weren't there to help Kaido and just wanted to take advantage of the situation, I wouldn't be able to face them all at once.
Not to mention...
The "Uranus" over Wano Country might also be exposed to their sight. (T/N: Is this Cannon?)
This isn't in my best interest.
"Uranus" - the Ancient Weapon hidden above Wano Country.
It requires some kind of power to operate, and Zunesha...
This monster... Its mission may have been to carry "Uranus" on its back!
The last time he went to Wano Country, Dylan could only vaguely sense what was in the cumulus clouds, but they were rich in a large amount of high-purity Seastone, preventing Dylan from investigating further.
And...
In Wano Country, besides the red "Poneglyph" in Kaido's possession, it's highly likely the last red "Poneglyph" is hidden there.
After all, the Kozuki family were the masons who once carved the "Poneglyphs" for the D. clan. They not only mastered the reading and writing of "ancient characters," but also the method of making "Poneglyphs."
Although the production method has been lost, the method of reading and writing was also lost after Oden's death.
But considering their origin, Wano Country is most likely the location of the last "Road Poneglyph."
The extremely bad weather and the geographical location that even the World Government finds difficult to navigate are indeed very suitable for storing a "Road Poneglyph."
Of the known "Road Poneglyphs," one is stored in Zou, one in Fish-Man Island, one with Big Mom, and the other with Kaido.
Although the Fish-Man Island piece has been moved, it's clear that the "Road Poneglyphs" differ from the blue and gray "Poneglyphs."
They should all be stored in difficult terrain in the Grand Line.
Moreover... they are groups that have some kind of "promise" with the "D family."
This fits the identity of the Mink Tribe, Fish-Man Island, and the warrior village.
What needs to be considered now is whether the "Road Poneglyph" in Big Mom's possession is the one originally stored on Fish-Man Island.
And did the one Kaido has come from the Flower Capital?
If there is overlap, then there is still the last unknown piece, or...
The "Poneglyph" once stored on Fish-Man Island was taken away and kept by Whitebeard during his protection.
At this point... we can make some judgments based on Whitebeard's expectations for the new era and Marco's constant guarding of Whitebeard's hometown.
The Fish-Man Island piece... should not coincide with Big Mom's... after all, Big Mom's people have been in and out of Fish-Man Island many times. If it was to be moved, she wouldn't let that piece with "Joy Boy's Apology" go.
After gathering his thoughts, Dylan picked up the Den Den Mushi.
"Have you found the person I'm looking for?"
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, an albatross face appeared.
"Found him."
"No information was exposed, right?"
Morgans nodded. "No, this time I personally researched and judged the information, not anyone else."
"Send me the specific location through the channel I left for you."
"Good."
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi from Morgans, Dylan picked up the blue Den Den Mushi:
"I need a pardon."
The bald Gorosei frowned. "A pardon? For criminals in Impel Down?"
"Yes, but not entirely, because he has escaped."
The bald Gorosei thought for a moment and then asked: "Yes, but you have to make sure you can control him. No matter who he is!"
"Of course. If I'm not sure when the time comes, I will kill him and just fulfill my 'responsibility' as a Marine!"
