The old woman stared blankly at the scene before her.
As the previous witch, she was well aware of the terrifying Seven Star Sword, but she looked left and right and couldn't find the Seven Star Sword that made people love and hate it.
She was a little panicked at this moment.
"This…this…this…"
The old woman stared at the scene blankly.
The current witch, Maya, rushed out from the crowd and rushed straight towards Saka.
"Saka! Saka!"
Maya shook Saka in a panic, while Zoro looked thoughtfully at the woman who suddenly appeared with a strange expression, but then he smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, she is not dead."
Maya naturally noticed the even breathing and the strong heartbeat.
Feel at peace.
Only then did she lower her head a little embarrassedly: "Sorry..."
Zoro smiled and waved his hand: "This boy is still so popular with women."
Maya's pretty face turned red.
Then the old woman came to Saka in a hurry and looked left and right.
He even began to turn Saka's body with difficulty.
"Mother-in-law?"
"Where's the Seven Star Sword?"
Maya only realized this at this moment. She looked around but still couldn't find it.
Zoro was somewhat puzzled by the other party's attitude.
But he didn't say anything.
After all, he wouldn't be stupid enough to reveal his companions' abilities to strangers.
Cheng Lang walked up to the old woman and asked, "Do you still need this Seven Star Sword?"
The old woman was silent, but then her expression returned to normal. "This is our clan's mission. If we allow the Seven Star Sword to disappear, it might be unsealed again when the blood moon appears tonight. By then, the island will be flooded with blood."
Looking at the old man's calm face, Cheng Lang smiled and said without hesitation: "It's okay then. I destroyed it completely. It was directly reduced to powder."
"impossible!"
The old woman instinctively denied what Cheng Lang said.
Cheng Lang said with great interest: "Why not? It's just a sword, just a little harder and sharper."
Seeing Cheng Lang's expression, the old woman adjusted her mood and said, "I am not joking, young man. The Seven Star Sword is very dangerous. It is impossible to destroy it. Even if it is just a broken blade, it can slowly recover. So please give it to me."
Cheng Lang looked directly into the other person's eyes.
"I am a person with special abilities." Cheng Lang said as he took out a shovel and dug a hole in the ground. He then put a bucket of magma in it, and then, as she watched, he casually threw a stone into the magma.
The stone disappeared instantly after it sank into the magma.
"That's how the Seven Star Sword disappeared. Not a single drop of it was left."
Cheng Lang explained with a smile.
But when the old woman saw this scene, her expression became a little awkward.
"You... Impossible, the Seven Star Sword cannot be... Impossible..."
The old woman's breathing was rapid.
Maya sighed upon seeing this: "Mother-in-law, that's enough. If it disappears... forget it."
"You don't understand! The Seven Star Sword cannot disappear, it..." The old woman instinctively wanted to refute, but she stopped herself at the end and didn't say the rest of the words.
Maya had a complicated expression on her face.
As the current witch, she actually received very little inheritance, and there are many secrets about the Seven Star Sword that she does not know.
But she didn't care. After all, sealing the Seven Star Sword for generations was a tradition on the island and no one would question it.
And once she completes the once-a-century ritual, she will know everything.
So she doesn't care and is not in a hurry.
But now, seeing my mother-in-law's expression and state.
Obviously, the importance of the Seven Star Sword was beyond her imagination.
"Mother-in-law..."
The old woman seemed to be gradually calming down, and she looked at Cheng Lang with a complicated expression.
The news of losing the Seven Star Sword made her panic.
But now seeing Cheng Lang's half-smile, she knew that she had been fooled by the young man in front of her.
Sighed.
She stood up and walked ahead.
"That's just right, Maya, why don't you come along too? There are some things you really should know."
Although the old woman only greeted Maya, Cheng Lang followed her naturally.
As for the others, they all looked at each other.
Luffy didn't care about the subtle atmosphere at all and followed.
Luffy took the lead, and all the Straw Hat Pirates followed.
As for the people on the island, they hesitated, but ultimately did not choose to follow. Instead, they quietly stayed outside.
The reason for the hesitation was naturally that he was hesitating whether to stop the Straw Hat Pirates.
But when they thought about the traces on the ground, they would probably die miserably if they went up.
And my mother-in-law didn't stop me.
On the hill, a group of people arrived at a stone altar. With the help of the old woman, a downward staircase appeared in the center of the altar.
But when she turned around, she saw that the Straw Hat Pirates had caught up with her. She felt helpless, but the situation was stronger than people, and her lifeline was in her grasp.
Leading the way silently in front.
Robin looked at the surrounding buildings, and brushed one hand across the broken mural behind the altar. She had used her ability to reach here and was then beheaded.
"Robin?" Nami turned around curiously and saw Robin standing blankly in front of the mural.
"coming."
The group walked down the stairs and soon arrived at their destination.
A faint light shone down from above.
And where the dim light shone was a coffin.
There was a corpse in the coffin, which was well preserved.
"This is?"
"She...was once the king of Asuka."
"She? A woman?" Cheng Lang was a little surprised.
Then I thought of the witch mentioned in the movie.
The old woman ignored Cheng Lang and continued her story: "The Seven Star Sword was once her sword, and it was also known as the sword that protected the kingdom. In a huge war, she was defeated, and everyone in the country was slaughtered.
She used her last bit of strength to protect the last spark of fire and left the Asuka Kingdom. She died in battle here. Later, those sparks returned here. Perhaps it was her obsession, or perhaps it was the resentment of countless people at that time, that eventually the Seven Star Sword became a demon sword.
Chapter 164 Origin
The old woman explained the whole story in a few words.
The words were so concise that everyone felt, "That's it?"
Usopp blinked his eyes and asked in confusion: "It's over? Is this the end? Shouldn't there be more grand stories?"
The old woman turned her head to look at Usopp, but her eyes finally fell on Cheng Lang.
"Tonight is a blood moon, and it's also... the time when the Seven Star Sword is unsealed. If you want to know the story of the Seven Star Sword... please place it here. It still needs to complete its mission. It... hasn't ended that war yet."
"War... According to what you said, the country of Asuka theoretically existed... a thousand years ago, or even a hundred years ago in the blank history?" It was Robin who spoke, and her expression was a little strange at the moment.
Just now, she began to read the murals around her, which contained ancient texts.
The content of the story is indeed consistent with the old woman's statement, but it is more detailed than the old woman's simple statement. However, there is no record of that war.
But it is the great achievements of this queen.
For example, freeing slaves and treating every citizen kindly.
Countless records are full of praise and admiration.
But..my final prayer is for her return.
"Blank history, a hundred years ago?!" Everyone else was stunned when they heard this.
You have to know that the world government was established only 800 years ago.
This time span is a bit overwhelming.
Cheng Lang looked at the murals thoughtfully.
In an analysis he had read, it was mentioned that the One Piece world had experienced two destructions.
The First World, the Second World, and now the Third World.
In the first world, the devil fruit had not yet appeared in the world of One Piece, and humans were still in a barbaric period. This was an alien invasion. Of course, it would be more accurate to say that it was a deal with the people on earth, allowing them to mine energy, and the aliens provided technology.
In the barbaric period, that is, the slave era, people began to mine day and night in exchange for technology. The development of society and the advancement of technology directly led to the abnormal collapse of the slave society. Eventually, the oppressed people began to pray, praying that there was an "existence" that could free them from their slave status.
The slaves prayed to God.
