Chapter 39

The Shrine of the Kings was a little difficult to reach, it was full of guards, and almost every passage was guarded. We didn't stand on ceremony and just knocked them all out.

After some time, we nevertheless descended to the lower level, right to the place where the poneglyph was.

It was a huge blue cube, four meters high and three meters wide. It featured strange symbols that I had already seen in the book I found on the Aboriginal island. Now I hope to be able to find out what is written there, because now we have a walking archaeologist-translator, an assassin, a spy, and a beautiful girl in our team. Speaking of Robin, she's been reading this poneglyph for almost two hours now and writing something down.

I went up to her and asked:

- How long are you going to be? May I help?

She shook her head and smiled.

- No, it's almost there, I've almost translated ...

- So you translated?

She nodded.

- Yes, apparently there is something dangerous written here.

I chuckled:

- Pluto or Poseidon, huh?

Robin looked at me in surprise, then sighed.

- And what else do you know?

I smiled mysteriously and said:

- Yes, I heard a couple of stories, they say that these weapons are very dangerous and capable of destroying the world.

Robin raised her head thoughtfully and sighed.

- Maybe...

- So what is this, maybe you can tell? - I asked.

The girl shook her head and replied:

- Sorry, but I don't know you well, you shouldn't trust the first person you meet.

I nodded.

- You're right, there will still be time to find out. - And he grunted: - Unless, of course, you changed your mind to join my team.

Robin smiled.

- It may be interesting, and it looks like you need me for some reason, since you were looking for me, and even killed Crocodile. And she chuckled: "By the way, do you know that you shouldn't kill Shichibukai?" It could end badly.

I nodded.

- In the usual case, perhaps yes, but in his case, this case can be hushed up if they find out well about his affairs.

Robin sighed.

- Do you know about this too? I thought he was carefully hiding everything, and all the witnesses ...

- Heh, did you get rid of them? - I asked.

- Maybe ... - The girl smiled mysteriously.

I chuckled and said:

- Okay, it's time to get off, if the royal guards spot us, there will be a problem.

- Let's go. - Agreed Robin.

On this note, we left the Tomb, and then Alubarna. At this rate, we may catch up with the rest.

Robin was quite quiet and calm, I usually talked on the way, I told her different stories from my past world, of course, I had to redo them a little, and lie in some places, but it turned out okay, she listened with interest. During another story about some aborigines, I suddenly remembered and hit myself with a spelled. He took out a book and threw it to Robin:

- Catch.

She caught and said:

- This is indeed...

I nodded.

- Yes, I found it where I told you, those guys in the tomb, and there they also have their own fruit.

Robin began leafing through the book and said:

- Everything here is written in the same language as in the poneglyphs, judging by everyone, this is a ship's log ... Amazing ...

And these are the last that I heard from Robin, she did not react to anything, she read and read everything. Well, unsurprisingly, this "logbook" has more than a hundred pages, and the font is terribly small, so it will take a long time. Okay, I'll sleep ...

I woke up from the fact that something was pouring on me, it was very unpleasant, and I immediately jumped up.

- What the fuck ... - I growled, but stopped at the half word when I looked around. Several people were standing in front of me, and one red-haired and busty was grinning at all.

I chuckled and said:

- They caught up. - Then he looked at the smiling Nami with a bottle of water and said: - I will remember that, one night you will pay for everything ...

The girl shuddered at my gaze and stopped smiling, then muttered:

- Hmpf, I'm afraid, I'm afraid ...

I grinned, then looked at Robin, who was nearby and was still reading a book, and said:

- Reads everything?

North nodded and replied:

- Yes, she's so since the moment we met, if not for your snoring, we would not have noticed you, he-he-he.

I glanced at him and grinned.

- Who would say, you yourself snore like an old grandfather.

- Hehe, I take an example from the captain. - The redhead burst out.

- Ha ha ha, you redhead bastard. - I blundered.

Then we celebrated our reunion in the spirit familiar to us, and in the morning we went to the ship, it's time to sail away, and finally start a pirate career.

***

Two days later.

Marineford, headquarters of the Marines.

A breathless sentinel rushed along the corridor, and after a while he stopped at one of the doors. A few words were written on it - "Admiral of the Fleet: Sengoku." The guy swallowed nervously and knocked.

*Knock-Knock*

- Come in. - There was a rough voice from behind the door.

The guy straightened his jacket, and thrusting out his chest opened the door.

The office of the Admiral of the Fleet was quite free, no frills, only one sofa, a couple of chairs and a table at which the Admiral of the Fleet was sitting. He was a tall and sturdy man of age, with glasses, dark hair and a mustache, with an Afro hairstyle, and on his head he had a cap on which sat a seagull. He looked sternly at the newcomer and asked:

- Something happened?

- N-no, that is, yes sir, actually, Shichibukai Crocodile is dead sir.

- What ?! What do you mean dead ?! Sengoku shouted angrily.

From this scream, the guy's legs began to give way, but he held on tightly and stammered:

- S-sir, that's not all ...

- What else?! Growled the Admiral of the Fleet.

"B-evidence of the secret affairs of Shichibukai Crocodile was found, in-they say that he was involved in a conspiracy against the King of Alabasta, and also the creation of a criminal gang. - said the young man nervously.

`` Grr, here's a rub ... '' Sengoku growled. Then he looked at the guy and asked: - Who killed him?

The guy hesitated, but answered:

- Uh, we don't know for sure, we don't have anything for this person ...

The fleet admiral frowned and said:

- Hmm, I see, you can go.

- Yes, sir! - The guy saluted and left.

Sengoku sat down in a chair and sighed.

`` Eh, they will probably try to keep silent about everything ... Hmm, we should find this person, if he could kill Shichibukai, then this is a problem, and if he is also a pirate ... '' Then he lifted one of the nearby Den Den Mushi and said: - To a piece, come to me.
