Chapter 85: Farewell to Ohara! Return to the New World
As the words fell,
A smile immediately appeared on Lotte's face.
After all this time,
He could finally uncover the connection between God Valley and Uranus!
He could also learn the secrets of that guy Rocks!
For Lotte, this was undoubtedly something worth celebrating—it was crucial for his upcoming plans.
Olvia laughed excitedly.
"As expected of Dr. Clover! Let's head to the Tree of Omniscience right now!"
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, a trace of melancholy flashed across her face.
But she quickly regained her composure.
She knew that once Lotte learned everything, he would leave. Yet this period had already been fulfilling enough for her.
She couldn't keep troubling him any longer.
With the two of them stepping forward, they walked straight through the forest.
On the way to the Tree of Omniscience,
Many scholars greeted them as they passed.
Over the past half year,
Lotte had earned the recognition of numerous scholars.
He smiled and returned the greetings as they arrived at the massive entrance of the Tree of Omniscience.
He glanced around warily, using Observation Haki to confirm no one was watching before entering.
Leading Olvia, he arrived at the deep office inside the Tree of Omniscience.
Knock knock knock—!
"Come in."
After Lotte knocked, a confirmation came from inside. He pushed the door open and entered.
Dr. Clover sat there with dark circles under his eyes. Seeing the two arrive, he laughed with unrestrained excitement.
"After all this time deciphering, I've finally uncovered a trace of God Valley!"
"I haven't let down your efforts, Lotte."
He had watched Olvia's transformation throughout.
He was deeply grateful for everything Lotte had done.
Being able to help him this time was great news for Dr. Clover!
He took a deep breath, his expression turning serious.
"According to what I've deciphered so far, God Valley seems more like an activation device."
"It requires a specific bloodline clan to reach God Valley before it can be controlled. Others can't interfere at all."
"That's probably why the World Government hasn't acted yet."
Lotte immediately narrowed his eyes.
A specific bloodline?
If he wasn't mistaken, this was almost certainly related to the D clan.
As one of the most mysterious bloodlines in the original story, the D clan was born with the title "Enemies of the Gods."
The probability that they could control God Valley was very high.
From another perspective,
Controlling God Valley likely meant controlling the ancient weapon Uranus.
"Then what exactly is Uranus?"
Lotte asked curiously.
But he saw a troubled look appear on Dr. Clover's face.
"While I've deciphered something about Uranus…"
"Its ability is hard to understand. It's described as if referring to some terrifying entity."
"But there's no doubt—Uranus possesses extraordinary power."
As his words fell,
Lotte couldn't help but feel even more curious.
When he heard that sentence from Dr. Clover's mouth,
His expression grew even graver.
As someone who had come from a different world, he immediately thought of what those words described.
Orbital weapon.
Though he wasn't sure whether it was stationed on the Moon or orbiting in the upper atmosphere,
Based on the description alone,
A massive orbital weapon with devastating destructive power fit perfectly.
This also reminded Lotte of the cover-page story in the original work—Enel's Great Space Adventure—where he discovered a massive abandoned city on the Moon.
The technological level of that city was extremely advanced.
Based on current speculation, the Moon originally should have hosted a powerful civilization.
If the timeline was pushed back eight hundred years,
That city was likely one of the key players in the lost history.
Though the exact relationship between Uranus and the D clan remained unclear,
Gaining this much intelligence
Was already more than satisfactory for Lotte.
Now he finally understood why Rocks was so obsessed with God Valley. If he truly obtained that devastating orbital weapon,
Combined with his own terrifying combat power,
Just this alone would be earth-shatteringly powerful!
At that point, forget Admirals—even the Fleet Admiral would be no match.
As long as he could sweep away the final obstacle—the World Government—
Becoming King of the World wouldn't be impossible.
But precisely because Lotte knew the later plot, he remained calm inside.
No matter how perfectly Rocks planned, he was still destined to die at God Valley. And though Roger was also of the D clan,
He clearly had no intention of obtaining the ancient weapons.
Moreover,
Behind the World Government stood that monarch of the world—Im—
Who was absolutely no pushover!
"I've got a rough understanding now. If nothing unexpected happens next,"
"I'm preparing to leave the West Blue."
"Things here are finished. Otherwise, that guy Rocks will probably get impatient."
Lotte said with a light laugh.
Beside him, Olvia tightly clenched her fists.
For her, Lotte's departure was undoubtedly a heavy blow. But though she felt reluctant, she could understand.
After all, Lotte had only temporarily left the pirate crew.
A genius like him failing to return on time would surely anger Rocks.
Lotte noticed this and reached out to rub her head with a smile.
"Come on, I'm not leaving forever."
"The development of Shadow is now in your hands."
"You've fully mastered Breathing Styles. Just keep growing—that's enough."
Olvia quickly snapped back to reality.
Her cheeks flushed as she looked at Lotte and bowed deeply.
"Thank you so much for everything! I definitely won't disappoint you from now on!"
Olvia made up her mind.
Within ten years—no matter what—she would expand Shadow's reach to the New World.
Only then could she truly help him.
Lotte saw through her thoughts and gave a helpless smile. He took a wooden gift box from his pocket and tossed it to her.
"Here—this is my farewell gift."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be back in about two years."
He said with a calm smile.
Olvia blushed as she caught the box and looked at Lotte, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
Lotte reached out and lightly pinched the girl's beautiful face.
"Alright, I know."
"When the time is right, I'll accept."
He smiled gently at the girl.
Watching her lower her head in embarrassment, he turned and walked away without hesitation.
His gaze gradually became resolute.
New World—I'm back.
