After Yamato left Onigashima, she didn't immediately start looking for the Poneglyph. Instead, she went back to where Nami and the others were.
"What?!"
"You said you want to find the Poneglyph and become the pirate king?" Nami was shocked by Yamato's bold words, as if struck by lightning.
Kuina, standing nearby, also looked at Yamato with a strange expression.
Yamato nodded without hesitation, her eyes firm and full of confidence:
"That's right! Uncle King told me that you came all the way to Wano Country to find the mysterious Poneglyph.
Although I don't know if you have succeeded, I will never give up easily! I must become the real pirate king before Kaido!" Saying this, she couldn't help but laugh loudly, her laughter echoing in the air, revealing a kind of uncontrollable excitement.
Watching the excited Yamato.
Nami turned to look at Kuina beside her. The two of them looked at each other, unsure how to respond to this ambitious woman.
They really couldn't bear to shatter Yamato's dreamlike fantasies, especially since finding the legendary final island, Laugh Tale, required collecting four crucial Road Poneglyphs.
However, Big Mom's Poneglyph was already in their hands and hidden away by them.
As long as they weren't willing to reveal its location, then in this vast world, besides the members of the original Roger Pirates, probably no one else could find Laugh Tale based on the existing clues, right?
"Well... Yamato, good luck! We believe you will succeed!" Nami couldn't bear to dampen Yamato's enthusiasm, and gave her encouragement with a smile as bright as spring flowers.
"Hehe."
"Thank you, Nami, Kuina. I'm so happy to have met you. Then I'll take my leave first!" Yamato smiled, waved goodbye to Nami and Kuina, and then quickly left the inn, joining the others outside in a hurried search for the Poneglyph.
After Yamato left, the room became quiet again.
They had finished all the food the inn had sent up, and now they were preparing to move out and head to the underground city of Wano Country.
"It seems they really think we are looking for the Poneglyph. That's good. Taking advantage of the chaotic situation outside, we can reduce the chances of being exposed." Kuina said slowly after thinking for a moment.
Nami nodded, "Then let's go now. They will find the passage under Mount Fuji sooner or later. The sooner we get the Pluton warship and leave, the sooner we can rest easy."
After saying that, Nami opened the space door, and then the two of them entered the dark green different space one after another.
~~~~~~
After Nami and Kuina left, Nitta Shinken walked out of a dark alley in the Flower Capital.
His narrow eyes flashed with a dark and deep light, like a cold star passing through the night sky, staring intently at the room where Nami and Kuina had just been. No one knew what he was thinking.
This silence didn't last long.
Nitta Shinken slowly came back to his senses and quickly turned around and left like an arrow.
He was as agile as a leopard and as light as a swallow. Using the current chaotic and panicky situation in the Flower Capital as cover, he disappeared silently into the vast crowd of this bustling city.
After a period of rapid running, Nitta Shinken finally arrived at the cemetery in the northern area of Ringo. This place was covered in snow all year round, and the view was a gray and white, as if it were a mysterious country isolated from the world.
Ringo was usually sparsely populated, with only the howling cold wind occasionally making mournful cries, adding to the already eerie atmosphere of this place.
However, there were also many people who opposed Kaido's rule living here because of the harsh climate.
But Nitta Shinken had no contact with these people. He came to an inconspicuous tombstone and stopped, reaching out and gently feeling the stone. He soon found the hidden secret button.
As he pressed the button decisively, a deep sound was heard, and the seemingly heavy tombstone began to move slowly, eventually revealing the entrance to a bottomless, pitch-black underground passage.
Just then, the silent northern cemetery suddenly seemed to be shaken violently by an invisible hand, and the entire ground began to tremble violently!
This vibration was not local, but quickly spread throughout Wano Country, as if a terrible disaster was about to strike.
Feeling this sudden and unusually strong shaking, Nitta Shinken's heart sank, and a sense of foreboding instantly surged into his heart.
In a flash, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he quickly realized the seriousness of the situation. His face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Not good!"
Anxious, Nitta Shinken didn't have time to think and jumped into the passage next to him without hesitation.
At the same time, the outside world had fallen into extreme chaos.
Houses were crumbling, and people on the streets were panicking, running around, with shouts and screams rising and falling. But the shaking didn't weaken at all, instead growing more and more violent, seemingly endless.
At this moment, everyone could clearly feel the ground shaking crazily under their feet, and the entire Wano Country seemed to have turned into a huge cradle, ready to throw them into the abyss at any time.
People's faces were filled with despair and fear. They had never experienced such a terrible scene, and some even thought that the end of the world had come.
~~~~~~
At this time, in the underground world below Ringo.
Kuina was carrying the weak Nami towards the Flower Capital. Nami had now put the Pluton warship into her space, but the huge ship was very difficult for her to carry.
Kuina was rushing with all her might. They had to leave Wano Country as soon as possible and find Ryuen with the Pluton warship.
Otherwise, Nami's strength would run out.
Just then, suddenly, Kuina's pace stopped abruptly, as if she had been frozen in place.
"Senior Nitta Shinken?"
Kuina's bright eyes were now staring intently at the old man blocking her way, her eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a hint of surprise and doubt in her eyes.
Nitta Shinken didn't respond to Kuina immediately. He looked at the surging sea water around him, his face seemingly calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.
After a long while, Nitta Shinken slowly opened his mouth, his voice low and powerful, as if from the depths of hell:
"Where is Pluton!"
