Chapter 158 Road Signs of Wano Country (Poneglyph)
The cell where Kozuki Sukiyaki is imprisoned?
Hanafza recalled Bazeir's plans and a sudden realization dawned on him.
"Is that former general still alive?"
Rambo didn't understand why the man would ask that, but he answered truthfully anyway:
"Although he contracted some disease, he is still alive."
"Then there's no rush. Let's go to another place first."
Hanafza looked toward the brightly lit Moonlit Cabinet, no, it should now be called the Great Serpent City.
"Beneath this castle lies a treasure that the Kozuki family has protected for generations."
"If that thing really exists, then it means there's an island in this ocean that no one has ever reached!"
"Let's go, let's find that thing first!"
Meanwhile, inside the Great Serpent City, on the third floor.
The unique melody of the shamisen drifted in, interspersed with the clamor of a drunken man shouting and making a scene.
"Keep going, keep going~ Heh~ Hahaha~~"
The black charcoal serpent leaned against the body of the beautiful woman beside him, his eyes filled not only with pleasure but also with the arrogance of a nouveau riche.
"I'm a general! Curfews and night curfews are none of my business!"
"Keep playing the music!"
"This general is not drunk yet!"
"Barbeltaro, you're drinking too! Later, take whichever beauty you fancy here; you're my most trusted bodyguard!"
Babel, who was sitting on the side of the room, did not reply, but picked up the wine jug and drank it down in one gulp. Hmm?
He paused in his drinking motion, but resumed it before the giant snake could look at him.
After shooing away the human woman beside him and using the excuse of needing to urinate to leave the house, Babel spoke softly.
"Rambo, what's wrong?"
"Hanafza received a mission from Bazel, which was to investigate the treasure that the Kozuki clan has guarded for generations."
"Please pretend to be drunk and cause a scene, and hopefully attract all the guards downstairs to your side."
"We have searched all the rooms on the first floor, but the corridor leading to the basement is guarded by samurai."
"I understand. Leave this to me."
Rambo jumped off the fishman's shoulder, leaped out of the window, and headed towards Hanafza's hiding place.
After fastening his belt, Babel glanced at the considerable amount of alcohol still remaining in his hand.
After a moment's hesitation, he splashed it on his body and clothes to create a stronger smell of alcohol.
He then stumbled out of the house and, upon reaching the stairwell, fell down the stairs like a true drunkard, causing a loud thud.
However, this commotion was muffled by the loud laughter of the shamisen and Kurozumi Orochi when it reached the third floor.
Instead, the samurai responsible for the security of the first and second floors rushed over.
He held a torch in his hand.
"Who's there!?"
~
The strong smell of alcohol spread, and Babel knelt up, but before he could say anything, his foot twisted and he continued to fall towards the first floor.
"You bastards, are you samurai looking down on merfolk?!"
"I am Babel, the chief bodyguard of Kurozumi Orochi!"
"If you look down on me, I'll send you all to hell, you bastards!!"
The commotion finally drew all the samurai away.
At the end of a corridor on the first floor, as the firelight receded into the distance, Hanafza, who was hiding in a corner, suddenly brightened up.
"Let's go, Rambo!"
Sigh...sigh...
The rusty iron gate opened.
Miscellaneous items and wooden dolls were piled up in the enclosed room.
"Is this the Poneglyph?"
Rambo pointed to the wall on one side of the room, where the carved characters were as incomprehensible as chicken claws.
"No, what we're looking for is the red historical inscription stone."
After closing the door again, Hanafza took out a Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi).
Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~
Blub Blub~~
Kacha-
"Bazaar, Rambo and I arrived at the underground chamber you mentioned, but we didn't see the red Poneglyph stone you mentioned."
"Wait, Lipriy, stop messing around! You can't take your pants off while feeding me, you jerk!"
"Isn't there a girls' hot spring area over there? Why are you squeezing in with me?!"
"Kaido, you bastard, stop watching the show! I'm busy answering Den Den Mushi calls right now!"
"Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh~~"
The Den Den Mushi took out a piece of paper, rolled it into horns, and then stuck it on both sides of the big eyes.
"Bazaar, you'd better hurry up and get married. After your brat is born, I'll personally train them!"
..
It seems like things are getting out of hand on the Den Den Mushi (snail phone).
Hanafza's lips twitched: "Hey you guys, I'm working hard to find a future for the Beasts Pirates, and what are you doing soaking in a hot spring?"
"Haha, sorry, sorry."
Bazel's voice came again.
"We accidentally discovered the hot spring while waiting for information from the Lilliputians in Udon."
"The temperature seems pretty good, so I thought I'd relax in the hot spring."
"Hanafza, have Rambo check the floor. If there are any mechanisms in a castle like this, they must be located deeper underground."
Inside the city's underground, Rambo, having heard the words, jumped down to the surface and searched carefully.
"Found it!!"
"Hanafza, come help!"
When Hanafza lifted the stone slab, revealing a slightly damp downward passage, Rambo's eyes widened.
"There really is an even more hidden secret room here!!!"
As Rambo was pushed into the tunnel, Hanafza followed behind, bent over.
"Damn it, isn't this place too low? I have to crawl to move forward!"
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Bazel began to describe the underground location.
"I heard from Toki that Wano Country existed 800 years ago, and at that time Wano Country was at the foot of Mount Fuji, not halfway up the mountain."
"When she chose to travel through time, Wano Country seemed to have already begun preparations for closing itself off to the outside world."
"That's what I was thinking then."
"Could the Kozuki family, who were stonemasons back then, be hiding some treasures from that time, such as the Poneglyphs they carved?"
"And as the place where the Kozuki Generals have lived for generations, Kozuki Castle must have something special about it."
"In addition, Ashi said that the Kozuki clan was once entrusted by a mysterious person to keep something secret. Just then, the two of them arrived at a window."
"here it is-
Unable to resist his curiosity, Rambo changed from going straight to turning right and jumped into the path that connected to the square glass.
"Feed Rambo, this place is too narrow, I can't get in!"
What's at the other end of the passage?
Rambo stared wide-eyed at the glass, looking utterly incredulous.
"Wa-Wa Country, it's the Wa Country hidden at the bottom of the sea!!"
Bazel's perfectly timed voice rang out again.
"To be precise, what Rambo saw was Wano Country from eight hundred years ago."
"Didn't Toki say that the real Wano Country is at the foot of Mount Fuji, not halfway up the mountain?"
"At a certain time, Wano Country chose to close itself off and build a defensive wall around the country."
"Because of the walls that blocked the land, rainwater gradually submerged the original Wano Country. The people at that time had no choice but to abandon their homes and run to the huge Fujiyama Mountain to rebuild Wano Country."
"This is the origin of the new Wano Country."
Rambo left the tunnel looking out, his little face still showing shock.
"Hanafza, it's such a shame you couldn't see it in person."
"That underwater world was absolutely spectacular!!"
"It's incredible that the buildings in the old Wano Country weren't damaged much!"
"Perhaps it's because it was rainwater, not seawater, that flooded the old country," the Den Den Mushi replied with a laugh.
"Alright, you can continue on. We're waiting for your answers regarding whether there are any road signs or historical texts ahead." The two continued on their way.
Before long, they arrived at the end of the cave.
Moving aside the stone gate blocking the way, a huge stone tablet glowing red stood at the end of the line of sight.
"Red stone—"
Rambo was the first to rush out, standing below the stone monument with a Den Den Mushi on his head.
"Bazaar, we saw it! There really is a red stone tablet!!"
Hanafza stepped forward and touched the raised characters on the stone tablet with disbelief.
"It really is a historical inscription stele, and it's red, Bazel, your brain is scaring me a little—"
"Just from the clues given by Tianyue Shi, it was possible to guess that there might be something like the historical text of the road signs here."
"Your brain is completely outside the realm of what a human being should be!"
"You didn't eat some kind of Time-Time Fruit and become a time traveler from the future to the past, did you?!"
"Stop talking nonsense, you stupid lizard."
In a natural hot spring somewhere in Udon, Bazel is "forced" to lean against Lipriy.
"You can reach this conclusion with just a little speculation; the reason you can't guess it is because you're brainless."
