Laugh Tale is an island that is not very large, yet extremely mysterious to the entire pirate world.
At this moment, Elior and everyone else landed on Laugh Tale.
The Paradise and the other ships anchored in the sea beside Laugh Tale.
At this time, everyone led by Elior set foot on Laugh Tale, the most mysterious island in the world.
This is an island that has existed for over 800 years and is filled with ultimate mystery.
At this moment, everyone, including Elior, came to Laugh Tale for the first time.
Even Redfield had never been here.
And Bullet, who was once a member of the Roger Pirates, had never been here either. After all, Bullet only stayed with the Roger Pirates for a period of time, and that was before they reached Laugh Tale.
In addition, Rocks D. Xebec had also visited Laugh Tale, but that was before the Rocks Pirates were established.
Laugh Tale is an island that conceals many crucial secrets of this world.
Even Roger brought the Poneglyphs that recorded everything to Laugh Tale.
This is also the reason why the Celestial Dragons do not want a second Pirate King to be born.
Because the historical records that contain terrifying secrets for the Celestial Dragons are hidden on Laugh Tale.
Any pirate who reaches Laugh Tale can be called the Pirate King.
And now, Shiro is the new Pirate King after Roger.
However, the title of Pirate King means nothing to Elior.
On the other hand, one has to wonder what the Celestial Dragons would think if they knew that Elior had already landed on Laugh Tale.
In other words, what kind of uneasiness would that bring them?
"Laugh Tale!"
Except for Elior and the other top-tier figures, everyone else inevitably felt their breathing quicken and their hearts race.
After all, this is an island shrouded in extreme mystery. And now, they had actually arrived here.
It felt like a dream.
However, this place was not like the legends claimed, there were no mountains of treasure left behind by Roger.
That was merely a misunderstanding spread by the world.
If we talk about wealth, then no one in this world possesses more wealth than Gild Tesoro.
After all, Gild Tesoro controls more than 20% of the world's total wealth.
How much gold and jewelry could Roger possibly carry on just one ship?
Obviously, it would be unrealistic for Laugh Tale to contain endless riches.
In truth, what Roger said before his execution, that he left everything on Laugh Tale, referred to the great secrets of this world.
Not only the secrets of the Celestial Dragons.
At this moment, the subordinates behind them began whispering quietly, not daring to raise their voices.
"It should be deeper within the island."
Elior turned around and spoke, with Kaido and the others standing beside him.
Laugh Tale is not very different from other islands in appearance.
But perhaps because there had been no human footprints here for countless years, the island appeared extraordinarily beautiful.
"I think so too."
Kaido and the others nodded in agreement.
Then Big Mom released her powerful Observation Haki. In an instant, her terrifying Observation Haki enveloped the entire island.
"There's something strange in the central area of the island. I can't even perceive it with my Observation Haki!"
Big Mom looked shocked.
"Even Observation Haki can't detect it?"
Kaido, Redfield, and the others were equally surprised and released their own Observation Haki as well.
Soon after, everyone's expressions changed.
Indeed, the center of the island was completely beyond their ability to perceive even with Observation Haki.
What was going on?
Everyone couldn't help but feel astonished.
"It's being repelled by a mysterious force,"
Elior said calmly.
The existence of mysterious powers in this world was nothing surprising.
"Maybe everything is located at the center of the island."
"Let's go check it out."
More than ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the very heart of Laugh Tale.
However, even from a distance, they could already feel an overwhelming and mysterious power emanating from within.
And as they moved closer, that power grew stronger and stronger.
Although it did not completely reject them, that vast force was clearly repelling the weak.
Not everyone could withstand this kind of pressure.
At this moment, the subordinates felt as if they were being crushed by the aura of a supreme existence, their heartbeats accelerating uncontrollably.
In the end, they were forced to stop and could not take another step forward.
"This power… it's terrifying."
"No — it's far beyond terrifying."
Redfield murmured to himself.
"Indeed. And it's incredibly mysterious. What kind of power is this?"
Bullet spoke.
When someone at Elior's level described something as powerful, it was naturally beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
"It has the scent of a Devil Fruit."
Elior, who stood at the front, finally spoke.
At that moment, he recalled the Devil Tree mentioned in the historical records from Fish-Man Island.
The so-called Devil Tree was rumored to be located on Laugh Tale.
Could this Devil Tree be the legendary tree that gave birth to all Devil Fruits?
If there is anything in this world that can be called the most mysterious existence, then it would undoubtedly be the tree that produces Devil Fruits.
The Devil Fruit Tree.
Could it really be here?
Elior couldn't help but wonder.
