Somewhere in the dark Underground.
The sound of gurgling water rang in the damp underground. This is an underground river deep in the island. It is said to be an underground river, but it is actually connected to the sea.
In the middle of this underground river, a ship is parked there, full of ancient atmosphere, the surface is covered with moss, as if it has experienced hundreds of thousands of years.
Ancient Weapon- Pluton.
"Is this the legendary ancient weapon, the product of that empire …" Robin came to Pluton's side and touched the moss on it.
She is not interested in the power of Pluton, but Pluton is an ancient weapon that transcends eras. It is a part of the history of that era, and studying that part of history has long been her life goal.
"I heard that one shot can flatten an island. This power is not small."
Ross looked up at the entire Pluton Ship.
Like Whitebeard or himself, they now have the strength to easily destroy an island. If no one stops them, it is not difficult for them to sink an island into the sea.
But it is very difficult to completely flatten a large island with one blow. Ross has not tried it. He has not used a large island to practice his punches.
Being able to be listed as an ancient weapon with Neptune Shirahoshi, the power of Pluton Ship is unquestionable. Few people can stop a cannon shot at the Marine Headquarters.
"Do you want to shoot at Holy Land when you go back?"
Ross smiled at Robin.
Robin said without looking back, "That's forcing the World Government to fight us to the death. Are you ready?"
Robin knows that Ross's goal is not to be a Yonkō (Four Emperors) or a Pirate King, but to destroy all the pirates and then overthrow the World Government.
"Well, I'm not ready yet."
Ross walked over to Robin, stretched his hands from her waist, hugged her from behind, and said, "But I'm ready to shoot you."
"…"
Robin pulled a bunch of arms away from Ross and continued to study the history of Pluton from hundreds of years ago.
Pluton's ship is not an ordinary sailboat, but it is somewhat difficult to drive. Ross and Robin boarded Pluton and studied it carefully before they understood part of it.
However …
It doesn't matter whether he can open it or not. Ross doesn't intend to drive Pluton Ship through the city. Of course, it is more stable to fly the entire Pluton Ship back to Totto Land with Gravity Distortion.
"Let's go. We'll study it when we get back."
Ross got dressed and saw that Robin was going to continue to study Pluton. He said to her and walked to the stern of Pluton's ship and hit the current with the power of distortion.
Huala!
The Netherworld King's Ship, which had been motionless for hundreds of years, finally moved again, although it wasn't moving on its own.
Ross manipulated the current to push the Pluton Ship forward in the Underground Dark River.
The further he went, the higher the water level, eventually filling the entire underground cave. Ross pushed the sea water directly with the wall of Distortion and rushed into the dark current.
After advancing another few hundred meters, he finally rushed out of the cave and appeared a few dozen meters below the seabed. Then, he quickly floated up.
With the rolling of the waves.
The ancient weapon Pluto, which had been silent for hundreds of years, finally saw the light of day again!
"Up!"
Ross took a deep breath and used Gravity Distortion on the entire Pluton Ship, slowly lifting the entire ship into the air, then quickly rising and eventually disappearing into the sky.
… …
World Government.
Pangaea Castle. Between the Powers.
Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) has learned of Ross's appearance in Alabasta and they have come to Between the Powers, talking to each other with a dignified face.
"Alabasta … Why did Ghost Hand Pirates go there?"
"Nefertari Family is the only descendant of the original twenty who stayed in the lower world …"
"In other words, they are traitors."
"Is there any secret collusion between Ghost Hand Pirates and Nefertari Family? After all, that family was once a descendant of the King. Do they know something? "
The faces of several Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) were a little cold and dignified.
They don't care about the Nefertari Family. Although they are descendants of the King, they chose to stay in the lower world and they do not have the identity and power of tenryubito.
But if people in this family know some secrets and collude with the Ghost Hand Pirates, it will not be a trivial matter.
In fact.
The current Ghost Hand Pirates make Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) a little restless.
If the Ghost Hand Pirates start against Akagami (Red Hair) and Hundred Beast Kaido, snatch the Road Poneglyphs, and put on a posture of conquering the Grand Line, setting foot on Raftel, and becoming the new Pirate King, they will not be as vigilant as they are now.
The Pirate King or something has not appeared in history and it will not affect the operation of the World Government. Instead, it will attract countless challengers.
The World Government can be happy to see this result.
But.
Ross has no intention of becoming the Pirate King, but continued stable development, especially the internal governance and external expansion of Totto Land, which makes Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) faintly uneasy.
They always feel that Ross's purpose will not be as simple as simply ruling Totto Land and being an 'Emperor' who rules the sea.
"Right."
"Alabasta may have clues to the Ancient Weapon Pluton."
A Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) thought of something and suddenly spoke with a dignified face.
The other four heard this and their faces changed.
In addition to Ross, Nico Robin also appeared in Alabasta, and Nico Robin is the only survivor of O 'Hara's and the only person who can interpret the original text of history!
This combination suddenly made Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) feel bad.
"It's not good."
"If his purpose is the Ancient Weapon, he may have succeeded by now!"
"Ghost Hand Pirates master the Ancient Weapon … This is troublesome …"
Several Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) showed a dignified and headache expression.
Originally, the Ghost Hand Pirates were already the most troublesome force for them. Now if they have the Ancient Weapon, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.
According to this situation, if the Marine Headquarters puts on a posture to fight the Ghost Hand Pirates, even if they can win, I am afraid that it will be a tragic victory and the casualties will be extremely heavy!
"The Ancient Weapon can't fall into his hands."
A Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) spoke in a deep voice.
But everyone else was silent. They absolutely didn't want to see the Ancient Weapon fall into Ross's hands, but how to stop it is a big problem.
It is impossible to send the entire Marine Headquarters to the New World to fight the Ghost Hand Pirates.
"There is no way to stop this. What we can do is to get the design drawings of Pluton as soon as possible and let CP9 speed up their actions."
Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) said in a deep voice: "With the design drawings, Vegapunk can copy the Ancient Weapon Pluton!"
"That's the only way."
