Chapter 369 Divine Canon!
(I'm reviewing for the final exam during this period. I just finished the exam yesterday~)
"Elbaf is one of the oldest nations in this sea, and the world's most powerful nation. Even if we can't conquer it and make it a vassal, simply being an ally would still be a powerful aid. Opportunities like this don't come around often, Bai~"
Not to mention, the current king of the Giant Kingdom is Loki... Such a dangerous and elusive person, rather than becoming an enemy, it is more cost-effective to win him over and make him a friend.
And don't forget, ever since King Harald's death, we and Elbaf have faced a common enemy—the World Government!"
She wore a dark blue long coat paired with a smart black short vest, and jeans with a very low waistline that vaguely revealed her hip bones. She had a mature and plump figure, slender legs, and a beautiful face. Her exquisite curves that surpassed most people made it difficult to look away.
The "Devil's Flower" that appeared in front of Yakumo Shiro was none other than Robin, and it was in the cold colors that he always loved.
Perhaps it was because he had lived in the library of Elbaf for a long time, but from the moment they met again, Yakumo Shiro noticed that the other person had a pleasant scent of books, which was light and lingering, clear and elegant.
The hot figure forms a sharp contrast with the serious and rigorous expression at this moment, and the intellect and sexiness are invisibly achieved a clever fusion.
With the advantage of being a prophet, Yakumo Haku naturally had his eyes on the books collected in Elbafne since he attended Loki's wedding. Helping the other party to successfully achieve his goal of "becoming king" also meant paving the way for it.
For Robin, O'Hara's almost unscathed legacy and the survival of his savior Sauro are obviously not just a surprise, but more like a rebirth.
Because it means that the efforts of his mother and scholars have not been in vain, and the knowledge contained in the vast number of books is precious proof that they are worthy of being engraved in history.
Therefore, with the desire to repay Shiro Yakumo for allowing her such "good fortune" and the determination to not let the scholars' hard work go to waste, Robin devoted herself to organizing and interpreting the books after setting foot on the land of Elbaf. It was not until the end of the battle of the G-1 branch that she took this opportunity to return to Inazuma with Loki - although their goals were not entirely aligned.
"Even though our cooperation with Elbaf has deepened considerably since Loki took power, it's still quite remarkable that they've managed to swallow their pride and come to us to discuss an alliance...
"I guess he's finally come to terms with the situation. Elbaf and his fruit alone can't solve everything. Even if he calls himself the Sun God—even the sun has fallen before."
Facing Robin's gaze, Yakumo Shiro sighed and said that through Robin's interpretation of Elbaf's "Divine Codex", Yakumo Shiro finally gained insight into a corner of the truth hidden under this world -
Their texts record that people once touched the forbidden sun with their own hands. Because of the sun, death and darkness once enveloped the world. Because of the sun, cruel wars once spread. And because of the sun, strong and diverse desires once blazed in the hearts of different people...
Finally, after killing the sun, someone became the final winner, stepping on the corpse of the "sun" and becoming the new god!
The sun, “the sun”, people’s descriptions of ancient events are always full of fantasy and symbolism, mixed with their own awe and desire, so it is inevitable that it is obscure and difficult to understand for people in modern times.
However, if there is anything unchanging in the theme surrounding this ocean besides struggle, it can only be competition, competition for resources, competition for living space!
Since the birth of mankind and even the emergence of factions, all disputes have been nothing more than this.
The sun, the prophet understood that it meant endless energy, so even though he received blood recovery from the ground, he still ambitiously reached out to the taboo.
The so-called taboo is obviously against nature, so its birth is not only accompanied by unpredictable risks, but will also anger the "gods" hidden beneath the truth.
As technology has flourished, it has brought prosperity but also caused disasters.
In the struggle to bear the enslavement, when the desire first condensed the soul to give birth to the first god that did not belong to nature, the sun finally caused a disaster that destroyed everything when it was about to be completed.
Tsunami-like magma tore through the earth, winding through the entire world. Thick dark clouds accompanied by violent explosions spread to every corner - death and darkness. The prophets had to leave the earth after tasting defeat, and humans who had broken free from slavery would have to stay on the ground and face such a desperate scene.
Fortunately, the gods born from people's wishes have the power to unite people's hearts and also possess great power that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Because they rebelled against the sun, they were dubbed the "Sun God". People united around the "God" and, with the help of the God's power, they overcame the disaster and became the masters of the world again.
Since then, most of the earth has sunk. People have excavated ruins, explored wreckage, and rebuilt a glorious civilization with their own hands based on the legacy of the prophets. Those who once followed the "Sun God" have gathered prestige, occupied the upper class in the new order, and become the new rulers.
Among them, in addition to the 20 countries, a mysterious kingdom is the most powerful - it has inherited the most generous gift from "God" and obtained the most outstanding technology before the catastrophe. With beautiful wishes, they hope that the immortal sun will rise again and shape the power that brings destruction into the greatest welfare of mankind!
It is commendable that although the remaining scientific and technological heritage is not very comprehensive, based on the lessons learned and the development of new ideas, a sun that is completely different from the past has risen again - an inexhaustible fire, the ultimate energy source for mankind. Around this fire, an unprecedented era of prosperity has officially begun.
However, as the power of science shines again in this era, human potential is also being explored as never before.
Since the birth of the "Sun God", the power of desire seems to have pressed a switch for the world, breaking the originally calm surface of the water and awakening the power hidden beyond cognition.
Being true to your wishes will lead you to the future, while indulging in desires will only lead you into the devil's claws.
The disasters in ancient times were just signs. The earth, forests, and even the oceans, the forests nurture life and bear the most wishes, satisfying people's expectations with ancient and simple harvest rituals (fruits). The earth carries life, and even the forests rely on it for existence. Therefore, humans are naturally insignificant in their eyes, and they are even more indifferent to the evolution of this group.
The will of nature overrides all living things, prompting human wishes and desires to condense and take shape. While it brings people the ability to realize their wishes, it also leads to the endless expansion of desires!
Long-term backlog and restraint have brought about the most brutal war. In pursuit of the highest power and status, the spearhead is aimed at that mysterious kingdom - to seize the sun, master the fire, and replace it!
Thus, a disaster no less terrible than that of ancient times descended upon us once again. Even if the will of the former "Sun God" reappeared, it ultimately did not change the final outcome.
The fire was displaced, the murderous weapon brought down divine punishment, the earth and the ocean were trampled once again, and the already broken world was once again swept by earthquakes and tsunamis, leaving only the winding ruins of ancient times across the sea, splitting the once connected world into discrete fragments.
Everything changes in a blink of an eye, and everything gained is just an equal exchange.
The sea water flooded the world and cursed people. This was the wrath of the God of the Ocean.
"Devil Fruits, tempted by desire, eat forbidden fruits. While gaining power, they also cause their desires to expand again. Following the voice of the heart, even if it means becoming a demon, this is indeed no different from the temptation of the devil."
All powerful people have strong desires. This is true for the strong men on the sea, and it is also true for Yakumo Haku... However, as his abilities develop more and more, Yakumo Haku gradually confirms the reason why he is different from others.
The devil fruit is just an inducement, and all the abilities contained in this body are just reawakened. As for the curse - the gods of this world naturally cannot rule over the souls of foreign lands. In other words, even if this soul advances to become a god, it will never be bound by the rules of this world.
And that is the true freedom. As the saying goes, "The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly" is just like this.
"The power of human desire... If Vegapunk's theory is correct, then the Devil Fruit truly is a truly miraculous power. No wonder Prince Loki covets the treasure of Elbaf. After all, it's a product of the Giants' worship of the Sun God—the freest, most violent, and most powerful warrior! The Flame Giant, Surtur!"
Hearing Yakumo Bai's mumbling, Robin also said with emotion that only those who have truly seen that posture will understand the value of the treasure passed down by the giants for hundreds of years. It symbolizes the power of destruction!
"That's good. Having such a powerful force is also a strong support for dealing with Mary Geoise. It just so happens that we have this free-spirited Prince Loki who can test that guy's bottom line and background for us.
You just need to be careful not to get burned by the other party's flames, but from the current perspective, the possibility of this happening is not very high~"
Robin's words also aroused Yakumo Bai's thoughts, not only about Loki's fruit ability, but also about the more distant future.
Perhaps, the study of history - the exploration of the blank hundred years - does not mean much to people today, especially to pirates who prey on the weak.
Perhaps only those who bear the name of "D" in the entire ocean are destined to be involved with it, and inevitably or accidentally embark on the path of revealing the truth.
However, the rise of all forces will inevitably bring about conflicts and collisions. If you want to create an ideal world in your mind, you must break the old order that hangs over your head.
Today, although the pattern of the entire ocean has changed greatly under the leadership of Yakumo Haku, before the arrival of the "Sun God", the entire world has been caught in increasingly fierce competition and division.
The appearance of the Five Elders and the emergence of "Mu" will be a milestone, because it will mark the end of the true ruler, rather than a violent organization like the "Navy" standing before Mary Geoise as a shield.
Eight hundred years ago, when an ancient kingdom, armed with ancient weapons and the power of the sun and led by liberated warriors, was destroyed into nothingness, a new ruler arose and new gods were born. The true nature of the other side remains unknown to this day, and even the records of Elbaf are only fragments of information.
The divine code records the past, predicts the future, and describes an unchangeable fate, but few people know that resisting fate is the greatest freedom. Now that the story has taken twists and turns, fate is in our own hands. Only the fate that is resisted can be called fate, and only a vibrant life is real life!
