At this moment, as Robin continued reading the contents carved into the Poneglyphs, the shock on her face grew more and more intense.
After learning everything, her expression was filled with disbelief and overwhelming astonishment.
This was the history that Ohara had risked everything to uncover.
For this truth, Ohara had been erased from the world.
The Void Century had finally been deciphered by her own hands.
Robin could no longer hold back her tears.
For the sake of this truth, she herself, Ohara, and countless unknown predecessors had paid an unimaginable price.
How much blood, exile, persecution, and sacrifice had been endured?
Now… everything had finally been revealed.
"Elior… is this really the truth?"
Big Mom asked.
Naturally, she could not easily believe Robin's words alone.
However, she trusted Elior — and so did everyone else present.
Was everything Robin had just read truly real?
Big Mom, Kaido, and the others were filled with doubt and curiosity.
They all wanted confirmation.
And here, Elior was the key.
Because Elior could hear the Voice of All Things.
For a moment, everyone's gaze turned toward him.
Elior spoke calmly:
"Yes. This is exactly what is written on the Poneglyphs. This… is the truth."
"Really…?"
"This…"
"So this is the truth…"
"It turns out that the Clan of D. once ruled the world before the Celestial Dragons, but their empire collapsed due to internal decay. The ones who overthrew them were the so-called 'Twenty Creators' — a complete joke. After overthrowing the D. clan, they never fulfilled their promises of equality and peace. Instead, they established a new order — the rule of the Celestial Dragons. And from that moment on, their brutal domination of the world began!"
At the same time, among those present was the world's greatest newsman, "Big News" Morgans.
He was already furiously recording everything.
Because he understood something very clearly.
This was news powerful enough to overturn the rule of the Celestial Dragons.
For eight hundred years, the Celestial Dragons had claimed to be the descendants of the Creators.
They claimed that their ancestors created the world itself, including all mankind.
Few people truly believed such a claim.
But belief from everyone was never necessary.
The Celestial Dragons only needed the majority, especially ordinary civilians, to believe it.
That alone was enough to sustain their rule.
This was one of the foundations of their power.
But now—
The truth engraved in the Poneglyphs would tell the entire world:
There were no gods eight hundred years ago.
There were no creators.
There was only an alliance of kings who brutally suppressed the Clan of D., massacred dissenters across the world, and seized power through bloodshed —
The Alliance of Twenty Kings.
The Void Century had been an era of unimaginable darkness for the people of that time.
And that was precisely why the Celestial Dragons had always treated it as an absolute taboo.
Because once exposed, their rule would collapse.
After that century, the Celestial Dragons rose to power and began their eight-hundred-year reign of darkness.
And throughout the entire Void Century, there was one existence who stood above everything else—
Imu
A name so secret that even Morgans had barely heard whispers of it.
An untouchable being, known only to a handful of people in the world.
Yet Morgans recorded it anyway.
Word for word.
Because he knew—
This was news that would shake the world to its core.
With Elior's confirmation, the entire scene fell into silence.
Kaido and the others no longer doubted the truth.
There was no reason for Elior to lie.
Each of them sank into their own shock.
"So… this is the truth?"
"Hmph! Celestial Dragons… I never thought you'd be worse than us so-called evil pirates."
"In terms of sin, we're nothing compared to them."
"I agree."
"So this is how it is…"
Elior shook his head.
Compared to the revelation of the Void Century, he felt little emotional turbulence.
What truly interested him…
Was the mysterious Tree of Life standing behind the Poneglyphs.
The tree that gave birth to Devil Fruits.
Elior stepped forward and lightly patted Robin on the back.
She was sobbing uncontrollably.
After all, she had finally learned the truth she had spent her entire life chasing.
But Elior had no interest in lingering on her emotions.
To him, Robin was still just a tool.
Still, his hand was gentle.
Robin suddenly wrapped her arms around him.
And cried even harder.
Elior allowed it.
For about ten seconds.
Because he had far more important things to do.
