When Sigo heard this, his interest was piqued.
Not only him, but Kalifa, Franky's subordinates, and even Robin looked at Franky with great interest.
They sat in a circle and listened to the story.
Franky didn't keep them in suspense and said directly.
"The first theory is that the Water Gods appeared because of a powerful magnetic field hidden in the depths of the sea."
"That magnetic field caused the currents on the seabed to surge, which in turn drove the currents in the middle and even the upper layers."
A tsunami caused by a magnetic field sounded reasonable at first, but it wasn't the case at all.
If it was because of a magnetic field, it should be a hurricane caused by the currents, not a tsunami caused by a hurricane.
The current situation in Water Capital was clearly a hurricane.
"The second theory is that Water Capital is an island cursed by the Gods and is destined to be destroyed."
This theory was even more impossible to explain, but it was in line with the psychology of most people.
Since ancient times, no matter which world it was, people's fear of the unknown and unexplainable would always be related to ghosts and gods.
"As for the third theory …"
Franky's expression became solemn.
"The reason why Water Capital is attacked by tsunamis every year is because of the war between Pluto and Neptune hundreds of years ago …"
"Tch ~"
When Franky's subordinates saw Franky's expression, they thought that their boss would say something serious.
They didn't expect him to talk about the illusory legends of ghosts and gods.
"Boss, can't you be serious? We are looking forward to it!"
"Looking at your expression just now, I thought we were going to hear the truth of history. Is that it?"
"That's not right. We have followed the boss for so many years, when has he ever been serious?"
…
The crowd dispersed in an uproar.
But Sigo and the other two didn't leave, and their faces were full of shock.
"You mean …" Sigo asked tentatively.
Franky nodded solemnly, "Yes, this is the oldest and in my opinion, the most reliable explanation."
The three ancient weapons hadn't appeared in the world for more than 800 years.
Eight hundred years was too long a time, so long that most people in this world had never even heard of their names.
However, Sigo and the other two knew about this.
According to Franky, the reason why the Water Capital was in such a state was because of a great battle between the Sea King Poseidon and the Underworld King Pluto many years ago.
If that was the case, then everything could be explained.
Sigo already had a complete timeline in his mind.
The Sea King before Shirahoshi had, for some unknown reason, summoned countless Sea Kings to attack the land and islands, wanting to destroy the entire world.
At the critical moment, the shipwrights of the Water Capital joined forces to build the greatest sinful warship in history, the Pluto, to fight against the Sea King and the countless Sea Kings.
There was no way to know the outcome of that battle, and there might even be another Ancient Weapon Heavenly King participating in the battle.
Anyway, the result was that the Sea Kings collectively retreated to the calm belt on both sides of the Grand Line, and Pluto may have suffered too much damage and fell into a deep sleep in a corner of the world.
It was also because of that battle that the Sea Kings vented their resentment on Water Capital, the place where the Underworld King was born.
However, they could no longer continue to launch a large-scale war and could not directly destroy the Water Capital.
Therefore, with their huge bodies and the ability to change the flow of water, they launched a tsunami every year to destroy the Water Capital little by little.
In Sigo's view, the possibility of the Heavenly King participating in the battle was somewhat small. After all, it was a war between ancient weapons.
Any one of them could destroy the world.
Even if the Heavenly King and Pluto joined forces to completely suppress the Sea King, the aftermath of the war was enough to destroy the world.
Therefore, if the Heavenly King really appeared in that battle, it was very likely to play the role of mediator.
"Could it be … the formation of the Grand Line was deliberately created by the Heavenly King?"
Such a thought suddenly emerged in Sigo's mind.
The appearance of the Grand Line was too sudden, and Sigo did not believe that it would be such a coincidence that such a magical sea would be formed naturally.
If this was the case, Sigo would have to redefine the power of ancient weapons.
Legend has it that Pluto could destroy an island with a single shot.
This power was already terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, and it was simply unimaginable.
However, for Sigo, this power was not too exaggerated.
Destroying an island was not an impossible task for those who stood at the pinnacle of the world.
Not to mention others, the Seaweaver and the Elephant Lord who were trapped in the Devil's Triangle had the ability to destroy an island.
Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, if fully exerted, would most likely be able to do so.
There was also Fujitora's Layered Fruit, which could directly summon a meteorite to destroy an island.
Even if Doflamingo was given time, his String String Fruit's Birdcage could also do the same.
Therefore, the deterrent power of destroying an island did not seem to be that exaggerated.
Now, Sigo felt that it was necessary for him to redefine the power of ancient weapons.
If the Heavenly King could really create the Grand Line, then the Pluto, one of the three ancient weapons, would be far more powerful.
"This world is too terrifying. I wonder if I can fight against ancient weapons after all my attributes are maxed out."
What's more, are the three ancient weapons really the ceiling of this world?
No wonder a powerhouse like Roger did not choose to change the world after finding Onepiece. Instead, he surrendered to the World Government and used his death to start the Great Age of Pirates.
Even if Onepiece was really the legendary Heavenly King, it was not necessarily able to shake the rule of the Celestial Dragons.
Because the Most Evil Battleship was still sleeping, and its master had not appeared.
The same was true for the Sea King. Princess Bai Xing had not been born yet, and the Sea Kings were without a leader.
… …
For the rest of the voyage, no one spoke much.
They were nestled in a corner, and no one knew what they were thinking.
"Wait here, I will clean up first." Sigo said to Franky and the others, then looked at Kalifa.
The latter rolled her eyes. Of course, she knew what Sigo meant.
"Let's discuss, can we not tie them up? I promise I won't run away."
Sigo did not waver in the slightest, "What do you think?"
Kalifa was mad, "Okay, okay, tie them up!"
"You're so old, and you're always tying up a little girl in her twenties. You're sexually harassing me!"
Her struggle obviously had no effect.
Sigo didn't talk nonsense with her at all and tied her up directly.
Like before, it was extraordinarily artistic.
Everyone almost worshipped Sigo's operation, especially Franky's younger brothers.
They have dealt with pirates a lot over the years. They have been caught and they have also caught pirates.
However, they had never thought that such a simple binding could actually be played with so many tricks.
