244. Tears of a Strong Man.

He took Alexander and Dobby out the forest in which a giant whale-shaped tree was. He led the way to the inside of it.

"These pathways have been like this for hundreds of years. This forest is also protected by the guardians."

After a while, they came to a big chamber on whose center, a big red cube was situated.

Alexander couldn't recognize the language written on it. ~Ghost, scan it and decipher it.~

Ghost immediately replied to him, "Sir, there is not enough data to decode this language. This language doesn't match any existing language in the world."

Alexander walked to the cube and used his speaking power on it. It told him what the cube was and that there were four of them.

Duke Hitsugisukan started to tell Alexander about it as well, "These stones are called Poneglyphs. Studying them is banned by the world government. From that Kozuki clan seal, you can see that it has a relationship with Wano."

Alexander interrupted, "Let me guess, they made this 800 years ago?"

Duke Hitsugisukan nodded. "Yes, these red ones are called Road Poneglyphs. There are four of them and each points to a different location. Once you join all the four points with an imaginary line, where it bisects is where the last Island in Grand Line is. There are two more types of Poneglyphs.

"Historical Poneglyphs that reveal pieces of ancient history as well as messages written by ancient people. Instructional Poneglyphs, that contain instructions and/or clues about the locations of Historical Poneglyphs."

Alexander had started to build up a theory in his mind. That whatever was written on these stones was crucial to know what happened in the void century. Making it more believable was the fact that the World Government was trying to hide it."

"Then people on Wano know how to read it?" Alexander asked.

"Yes, but not all of them. Only the current Shogun of Wano and daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country, of Kozuki clan, know how to read and write this."

"Thank you, Duke Hitsugisukan, I really appreciate that you showed this to me. I will head to Wano now." Alexander decided.

"Wait, don't you need a copy of this?" Duke Hitsugisukan asked.

"Hahaha... I already have that, my friend. Look."

Suddenly a huge piece of paper appeared. On it was an image of Poneglyphs. It looked as real as a photograph.

"How?"

"...magic..." Alexander whispered.

He put the paper back in his pocket and shook Duke's hand, "I should leave now. Thank you for your help. If you ever find yourself in trouble, use this to contact me. Okay?"

He gave him a two-way mirror. Duke Hitsugisukan delicately held it and looked at Alexander leaving.

"Best of luck on your journey, Admiral." He waved his hand.

...

Alexander flew directly to the face of Zunesha. "Thank you, my old friend. I should repay you for your help."

Alexander fixed Zunesha's eyes. They had sunken back into his face for some reason.

"Ah, Thank you for giving me my vision back, Alex. But my eyes will again sink back in a few years. The weather and dust affect them too much at this height. " Zunesha told him.

Alexander quickly made magical glasses for his huge friend. "There you go, they will protect your eyes from any harm. They are also unbreakable and unstealable. Not only that, you can also look much further with this. It also has a feature to play music for you."

Alexander played some Mozart for him. Zunesha flapped his ears in joy. "This... is beautiful, Alex. Thank you for this amazing gift."

"It's alright, if you ever need me just think about me and I will be here. I'm always there for my friends okay." Alexander patted his forehead.

Zunesha made some happy sounds, and as a parting gift, he threw the water in the air like a fountain. Making multiple rainbows.

"Haha, thanks. I will bring my granddaughter next time. She loves rainbows." He said and flew away to his ship.

"Zunesha will not be bored now. Not with thousands of songs to listen to." Dobby commented.

"Haha, I can't imagine people's faces when they see a giant elephant with blue sunglasses." Alexander laughed imagining that.

*Peruperuperuperuperu...*

Alexander picked up the Den Den Mushi midflight. "Yes, Grandpa... I mean Admiral Universe speaking."

On the other side, Alexander heard a crying voice. "Sensei"

It was Z. "What happened, boy. Tell me."

"Sensei, please save my wife and son. You showed me so many miracles. Please just one more... I beg you..." Z's broken voice came.

Alexander quickly took out his Anywhere door. This was the first time he had heard Z crying. Z was a tough man who never cried no matter how hard the training was but something big must have happened.

Alexander didn't think of Z while opening the door but his family.

He crossed to the other side and saw the carnage. Buildings burning and people running around. Behind them were pirates with guns and swords. Killing, looting, and r*ping mercilessly.

"Dobby, don't leave anyone but their captain alive." He sternly ordered.

Dobby instantly got into action. A long sword appeared in his hand and cut a running pirate in half. By now Dobby had understood that preserving life doesn't mean being a weak little elf. Preserving life also means protecting them.

On the other hand, Alexander cast a point me charm and followed the guiding light. He finally came to a burning house. On its doorstep were two dead bodies. One woman and one child, Z had them in his arms.

Z saw Alexander with his teary eyes, "Sensei..."

"I will give you a miracle, Z. Step away from them now. Quickly cover yourself in Armament Haki. Just do as I say, we don't have enough time." He ordered while leaking a bit of Conquer Haki.

"Dobby, cover yourself in Armament Haki." He telepathically told him.

He used his devil fruit's ability to reverse the time. He had already mastered it to the highest tier and now it lets him reverse time to at most 30 minutes, but it had an area limit which he didn't know earlier. In short, his devil fruit only affected the time of the area under 20 Kilometres around him. It also requires a lot of body energy. Something that Alexander had infinite.

In front of him, everything started happening in reverse. By the 15th minute he saw the woman and child back alive but Alexander didn't stop. If he could save more people then so be it.

When 30 minutes ended he saw the pirates had just started their rampage. Alexander flew in the air and started to shoot lightning bolts at all the pirates. Frying all of them to death. It was a very painful death for all of them. Only the Captain was left, who also tried to flee but got caught by Dobby.

Alexander looked at Z, "Z, my boy. You asked for a miracle. I gave you one. Go and check them."

Z ran into the house and found his wife and son hiding in the bathroom with the door locked. He broke the door and hugged them tightly.

"You're fine... You're alive..." His eyes were still tearing up.

Alexander entered the house and gave the three a calming draught. Then he looked around the town. There was not much damage now and loss of life was minimal. Most of the dead bodies belonged to the pirates.

Alexander then dragged the pirate captain to the town center. "What's your name?"

"Hah... I am Henry the Great. The captain of Bloody pirates. You can't kill me, Admiral. I ate cloud-cloud fruit. My body is made of clouds."

"Why did you attack this place? Don't you know it is heavily guarded by the Marines?" Alexander questioned.

"Hehahaha... What a joke. Guarded? Hahaha... your own Rear Admiral stationed here made a deal with me. To let me loot for a 30 percent cut. He just asked us to leave Admiral Z's family alone." Henry revealed.

"Let me guess, you thought you could become more famous if you kill Z's family? So you went to kill them anyway?" Alexander stated without any emotion on his face.

Z heard everything and came to punch Henry. But Henry turned into a cloud.

"You think clouds can't be killed?" Alexander asked.

Then he just tapped his finger on Henry's head. Suddenly he started to turn into ice. "Beat him Z."

Z gladly obliged and started punching Henry. This time Henry was grunting in pain.

Finally, when Henry was half dead. Alexander cut his hand and feet and healed him.

"Not so great now? I will throw you into the sea, let's see if clouds can float." He picked him up and threw with as much force as he could. Henry would soon drown and painfully die some kilometers away.

Z looked at Alexander, "Our own people sold us? A Rear Admiral? This is beyond simple corruption."

"Don't go and kill him now, Z. You will be made a criminal. However, I can go and do it. Nobody has balls to mess with me." Alexander proposed.

Z looked at him thankfully, he suddenly bowed, "Thank you, Sensei. But you have already done enough. I will deal with this myself."

"Argh... Get up, kid. Now go see your wife and son. Also, shift them to a safer town. This is not a secure area now." Alexander suggested to him and left him to investigate on his own.

He came back to his ship still near Zou, "Bald Chad, towards Wano at full speed."
