The sudden disappearance of Ohara shocked the world.
Marine Admiral An came to this sea area himself, but found nothing unusual, as if an island named Ohara had never existed there in the first place.
The sea was calm, with no residual power, not a trace of evil.
About a day after An arrived, Makima also came in person. An had been watching Makima's expression, but the result left An uncertain.
Because Makima's face showed a rare seriousness. She usually appeared calm and collected, as if everything was under control, seemingly indifferent, but this time An felt that Makima was indeed serious.
Was she acting, or did what happened here really exceed her judgment?
If it was the latter, what could possibly be beyond the understanding of a quarter of the Demon Lords?
"There's not even a trace of life, let alone demonic energy." Makima was on a raft, with An standing beside her. At this moment, Makima squatted down and lightly touched the sea surface with her hand.
"That's strange. If it's not demons or humans, did God erase it with a hand?" An raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
Immediately, something occurred to her.
Yes, God, how could she forget that there really are gods in this world?!
Although she still didn't know what that god was, the existence of Backside of the Water proved that this world had more than just demons. Although it was currently unclear what that god was, presumably her strength should also be very strong.
Could the changes in Ohara be related to this?
Could Backside of the Water know something?
However, just as she was thinking wildly, the entire world suddenly erupted in a massive wail, as if countless people had been thrown into the oil vats of hell. The sound was so shrill and tragic, making everyone who heard it feel chills.
And these countless wails and screams overlapped, forming 'Child of Evil.'
!
Child of Evil?
An was stunned. She subconsciously glanced at Makima, and then all the sound disappeared. The sea was still calm, with nothing but the slight sound of the sea breeze, as if everything before had been an illusion.
But could it really be an illusion?
Child of Evil? Why did she suddenly hear these four words? Could the sound have come from Ohara? Was Ohara attacked by the Child of Evil, or...?
"Strange..."
Makima frowned slightly. She stood up and said, "Child of Evil? But there's no demonic energy here..."
"Could it have disappeared like ***, or could a demon have pulled it into another world?" An tentatively offered her guess.
Another world...
In other words, Hell?
Could Ohara have fallen into Hell?
"Going from the human world to Hell requires passing through an entrance." Makima seemed to know what An was thinking, and she said indifferently, "The entrance to Hell disappeared from Alabasta, but it hasn't appeared in Ohara either."
After saying that, she pondered for a moment and said, "The overlapping howls and cries just now were all human voices. What could 'Child of Evil' be referring to..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly looked up, and so did An, because the two of them, with their extremely sensitive senses, instantly sensed that a little girl had suddenly appeared on the sea not far away.
The girl had black hair and looked less than ten years old, but she was covered in blood.
The little girl's eyes were closed, as if she had fainted, but even An and Makima didn't dare to act rashly at this moment.
Because they could sense that things around the little girl were disappearing!
Disappearing!
Many fish in the sea disappeared inexplicably. An's Observation Haki could accurately capture the decrease in their numbers, and she even felt an invisible force surrounding the unconscious little girl.
"Disappearing..."
Makima said softly, "Could the disappearance of Ohara also be due to the influence of this power?"
An couldn't help but say, "Child of Evil?"
The archaeological sanctuary disappeared in an instant, and even ceased to exist in many people's memories. What a terrifying ability! Such an ability actually came from this little girl?
Then it seemed reasonable to call her the Child of Evil, such power is indeed demonic power!
However, it's hard to say what the sequence of events was.
Was the island's disappearance caused by the little girl's power, or did the island's disappearance bring about the power surrounding the little girl?
However, at this moment, Makima's body instantly disappeared. An's pupils shrank and she secretly cursed, but it was already a step too late.
Makima's body directly appeared next to the little girl. It seemed that the power that could make many things disappear could not affect Makima. That makes sense, if even Makima could be simply disappeared, then the little girl would truly be invincible.
Makima hugged the unconscious little girl and said, "I'm going to take her back to Pandora Island, where the government will research her."
An regretted not acting first. The little girl clearly possessed an exceptionally powerful ability. If Makima were to acquire this ability as well, then Makima, who was already nearly invincible, would become unstoppable.
However, Makima had already succeeded. Even if she were to forcefully snatch her away, she might not be able to get her back...
Forget it, I'll listen to her for now. At worst, I'll...
Rescue this girl!
An didn't think she could tolerate Makima in this matter. Makima was a madman who wanted to cause a global upheaval. Who knew what insane things she would do after obtaining this ability to make people disappear.
So, she had already made up her mind. When the opportunity arose, she would rather disguise herself and attack Pandora Island to rescue this little girl.
Makima left quickly, and An's expression was uncertain. Then, she let out a long sigh, and her expression gradually calmed down.
She didn't directly return to Marine Headquarters right away, because she wanted to wait and see if she could discover any more clues, just like this suddenly appearing little girl. Maybe something else would appear.
And what happened on the hidden island of Ohara?
Let's rewind time slightly to a day ago. At that time, Saul had just defeated those CP agents, and Robin had finally met her mother.
Although Ohara had fallen into an unknown and uncertain state, it had barely survived this calamity in this state. Although people were uneasy, the time until its extinction was delayed.
The sudden concealment of Ohara was a nightmare for most people on the island.
But for these scholars, these people who knew the island's fate, it was a rare chance to breathe.
They didn't know what had happened here, but it was safer in the current state.
Even Olvia, who had already resigned herself to her fate and was prepared to die, couldn't help but relax slightly at this moment.
Ohara seemed to have completely lost contact with the outside world. Even CP couldn't transmit information. Saul also tried the Marine's communication methods, but was unable to transmit messages either.
Under these circumstances, she seemed to be able to safely acknowledge Robin. After years of separation, she, as a mother and as a scholar, had been in a state of mental struggle.
However, this warm moment didn't last long.
Because they knew that if they remained in this state of disconnection from the outside world, everyone on the island would starve to death!
Moreover, the other residents on the island were also anxious and insecure. Fortunately, Saul, as a Marine Vice Admiral, was present. The Marine still had a lot of intimidation in the eyes of these people. The appearance of a Vice Admiral finally eased the atmosphere, which seemed like the end of the world.
Robin snuggled in Olvia's arms. Perhaps because she was too excited to see her mother after so long, she felt deeply tired after a surge of emotions.
So, she fell asleep...
In her dream, she vaguely arrived at a giant's hall...
In this huge hall, she found herself sitting on a large chair, in front of a huge long table with many seats.
The world was surrounded by smoke and fog, but Robin could see that there was no one here at all.
Only herself...
In the huge and empty world, there was only herself. This huge contrast brought about an indescribable terror. Although she could relax and calm down when she was alone before, it was different now.
Now she was in a strange world, and no matter how clever and precocious she was, she was still just a child.
At this moment, she found a card on the table in front of her.
The cover of the card was a tall woman dressed as a clown, with the word "消" (xiāo, meaning "vanish" or "disappear") written above and below in different scripts.
Vanish?
What does that mean?
Robin was puzzled. She subconsciously reached out to touch the card, and immediately felt a rush of overlapping dreams, as if space had been divided into thousands of layers, and she was quickly traveling through these thousands of layers of space.
She didn't know how long had passed, but she finally returned to reality.
But she didn't feel her mother next to her anymore...
Robin instantly opened her eyes and subconsciously shouted, "Mom!"
But there was nothing around her. Olvia had gone somewhere.
Robin was flustered. She quickly looked around her. She remembered that before she fell asleep, she had come to the Tree of Omniscience with her mother and Dr. Clover. But now, not only was her mother Olvia not in the tree, but Dr. Clover and the other scholars were also gone!
Robin immediately stood up. She suddenly awoke from her previous memories and quickly ran out.
"Mom! Doctor!"
Robin ran out of the Tree of Omniscience while shouting. She hoped that when she opened the door, she would see them discussing outside, hoping that they had only left the Tree of Omniscience because they didn't want to disturb her sleep. But when the door was pushed open, she could only be disappointed.
There was no one outside either...
Underneath the huge Tree of Omniscience was empty and silent, just like in the giant hall before. There was no one there.
Fear slowly sprouted in Robin's heart. She ran again, this time towards the town.
Saul was still in the town reassuring the residents. He was a Marine Vice Admiral, so he should be fine!
Robin ran with this thought, hoping that her mother and the doctor had also gone to the town.
But the more she went forward, the more frightened and scared she became. The fear that had only sprouted before had now grown into a towering tree.
Because the town was silent. She didn't find anyone on the streets. Before she fell asleep, this world was bustling with activity. People were anxious and uneasy about the suddenly changed world, but now suddenly there was nothing.
It was as if everyone had left after she fell asleep, leaving her alone in this dead world...
Robin's eyes were red, and tears flowed unconsciously. She stumbled and fell, because she was running too fast, she fell especially hard, and blood immediately stained her face.
Robin gritted her teeth and stood up again, enduring the pain to continue running forward, while still calling out, "Mom! Doctor! Saul! Where are you?!"
She didn't know how long she called out like this. Just when Robin was about to give up, someone finally responded to her.
"Ro... Robin?!"
Suddenly, a giant's voice came from around a corner ahead. Robin was overjoyed, because it was Saul's voice!
He was still there!
Then he must know what happened here!
Robin ran over quickly, but she was stunned when she saw Saul in the corner.
Because Saul's body had inexplicably disappeared in half, leaving only his upper body leaning against the wall, but without a drop of blood flowing. There were no scars where he had disappeared, as if a painting had been erased with an eraser!
"Saul...?!"
Robin was startled, but seeing Saul's condition, she hurriedly ran over, wanting to heal Saul.
"Robin, everyone on the island has disappeared. I watched them disappear one by one..."
Saul said at this moment, "I should be disappearing soon too. From now on, you'll be alone on the road ahead. You must live well!"
"Saul!"
Robin shouted, she stretched out her hand, but she found that the closer she got to Saul, the faster Saul disappeared.
In that instant, she suddenly thought of the card '消' (xiāo, meaning "vanish" or "disappear") that she had seen in the hall before. Vanish? Disappear?!
Could it be related that card?!
Robin immediately stopped and took a step back. This time, she found that Saul was indeed disappearing more slowly.
It was as if the closer she got to her, the faster he disappeared. That disappearing power...
Was it coming from her?!
"No!"
Robin suddenly broke down...
