Chapter 239 Porusalino: As I Said, I Traveled Through Time Following the Latest Update

Although Fishman Street has changed greatly now, relying on intuition and a few remaining old signs, Tiger successfully found his former home - that dilapidated shanty town, which has now become a quite prosperous area. Food court, various food stalls, all kinds of gourmets...

Among these stalls, a shop that makes takoyaki on-site caught Tiger's attention immediately.

There was a long queue of diners in front of the shop, with a seagull-patterned scarf tied on his head. The octopus fish-man named Xiaoba was very busy, with six strong arms each having its own division of labor, moving quickly and without hesitation. He packed the secret takoyaki into boxes one after another in an unorganized manner.

"It's a bad reception, please use it!"

Xiao Hachi wiped the sweat from his head and handed a freshly made takoyaki to the guest with a smile on his face. However, when he raised his head, he inadvertently looked at Tiger who was looking at him with a smile. His face suddenly froze.

In order to sneak into Fish-Man Island, Tiger did disguise himself and even carried a backpack, pretending to be a tourist. But his physique, aura and other aspects, as well as some details, cannot be hidden from Xiaoba, who has followed him since childhood...

Seeing that Xiaoba noticed him, Tiger nodded slightly.

The former reacted immediately and put down the kitchen utensils in his hands decisively. Regardless of the long queue of business, he shouted loudly to the surroundings:

"Sorry, everyone! We are temporarily closed today!!"

"Eh?!"

The diners exclaimed one after another. Many of them are repeat customers, and there are also foodies who come from all over the city.

Xiaoba didn't explain much, and hurriedly packed up his things and pushed the cart out of the crowd. Seeing this, Tiger followed him naturally, as if he was just on his way.

…

A few minutes later, Xiaoba's new home.

"Hahaha! You have changed so much, Xiaoba!"

Tiger laughed, gave Xiaoba a bear hug, and patted the latter's back hard.

"...Tiger, Brother Tiger!"

Xiaoba's nose was a little sore and his eyes were red - most of the children in Fishman Street didn't know who their parents were, or they simply lost their parents when they were young. Although Tiger was nominally the eldest brother of many of them, he In fact, this eldest brother is like a father in many cases.

"Hey, you kid, why are you crying! Don't cry!"

Tiger smiled and let go of Xiaoba, took a good look at him from top to bottom, then nodded happily and said, "It seems that you are doing well while I am not on Fish-Man Island." Not bad, I actually became the owner of a takoyaki shop..."

"It's not just me, Brother Tiger!"

Xiao Ba rubbed his eyes and showed a big smile, "During the time you left Fish-Man Island, great changes have taken place here. Everyone is living a good life now!"

"Oh? Then you have to tell me carefully!"

Although it was planned that Tiger would go to Dragon Palace City today to meet the Neptunes for the last time, Tiger was more willing to stay with Xiaoba for a while than the two rulers of Fish-Man Island.

…

As the most famous adventurer in the entire Fish-Man Island and the most loyal Fish-Man Street brother, even after Tiger became a wanted criminal by the World Government, many people in the Fish-Man Island would still welcome him, and even Will risk being punished by the navy to help hide him.

But under such circumstances, Tiger regarded this time as his last return home in his life...

It's not that he plans to commit suicide, or that he has any uneasy emotions in his heart, but that he has made the same choice as "Drought" Jack, one of the three disasters of the Beast Pirates.

Yes, Jack and Tiger are both fish-men, but the former is a fish-man who ate a devil fruit. So although Jack will not drown in the sea water, he still permanently loses the ability to swim.

As for Tiger, as a senior cadre of the Revolutionary Army, in order to realize his ideals and achieve the ultimate goal of the Revolutionary Army, he must obtain more powerful power - that is, become a Devil Fruit user who can no longer swim.

This choice cannot be said to be easy, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as difficult. Therefore, what drove Tiger to make such a choice was not just pure ideals, but also the Devil Fruit itself...

Time goes back to one year ago, in the year 1506 of the Haiyuan calendar——

According to the information found by Luo and others in the old Simon's safe house, Long took the cadres of the Revolutionary Army and arrived in a certain ordinary sea area on the third route of the paradise on a warship. However, when they looked around, they saw that it was just an ordinary, endless sea.

The lookout on the ship looked around with binoculars, but saw nothing.

(Really there is nothing? Even if there is an island and reef...)

Luo, who was looking around on the deck with Long and others, couldn't help but think of this - according to Old Simon, the top natural devil fruit that can create "Lily Carnation", the Sensen Fruit, is at this coordinate.

Luo previously thought that the coordinates they got were a small island that could be inhabited, or simply a desert island, but it turned out that there was nothing here.

After the warship circled around here for a while, the sound of the lookout's search to no avail came from the mast:

"Mr. Long, we have looked everywhere, and there is nothing around here...well, except for a coral reef."

The words added behind the watchman caught the dragon's attention.

"Coral reef?"

Long was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and ordered, "Lean over."

The warship slowed down slowly, and finally approached a large area of ​​plants spreading on the sea... It looked like a coral reef from a distance, but it was not. However, there should be rocks underneath the plants. The plants growing on the sea are not floating algae, but some kind of plants.

"strangeness……"

The warship anchored here. After the ship stopped, Belo Betty, commander of the Eastern Army of the Revolutionary Army, looked at the patch of plants and couldn't help but murmured softly.

"What's weird?"

Lightning, the deputy commander of the Grand Line Army, asked back. He thought the other party had seen something... But just seeing plants growing on the sea was not a strange thing.

"No, it's nothing, it's just... I just haven't seen this kind of plant before."

Although Bello Betty appeared as a female warrior at the forefront of the battlefield every time after eating the superhuman inspiration fruit, she was actually a delicate aristocratic lady who studied with various scholars since she was a child. Erudite - and she was certain that the plant in front of her was not a common plant.

"Betty, haven't you seen..."

Long fell into silence. After a while, he spoke again, "The ship is temporarily parked here. We are responsible for guarding. Tiger, please go down and take a look."

Compared to the other senior officers on the deck, Tiger, who had been wandering the sea for a long time and finally joined the Revolutionary Army, was indeed the least “qualified”, but because of his feats in Mariejoia, everyone respected him very much. and trust - the reason why he was allowed to take action now was simply because everyone else was a "landlubber" ability user, but he was a fish-man who was born to live in the water.

"no problem!"

So next Tiger plunged into the sea.

After Tiger entered the sea, fog gradually began to form on the sea, and the surrounding area became blurry... Long and others on the boat immediately raised their vigilance to the highest level.

On the other side, as Tiger dived, he discovered that there was a group of rocks below.

Tiger looked around, and after a general observation, he found a large area of ​​flora spread out on the sea. After entering the water, the roots began to gather together. It seemed that this was not a plant, but a plant... just like the shampoo field. It's the same as the islands, but the scope here is much smaller.

After confirming that the plants were all gathered in one place, Tiger immediately swam towards the gathering place without thinking too much about it.

The main root of this plant spread out from the side of a volcanic reef pile. After Tiger circled the reef pile a few times, he discovered that there was a secret passage extending inward on the other side, so he followed it. Start swimming along this passage.

The passage was winding, and after swimming for a long time, the narrow waterway began to widen, and then Tiger felt the air outside.

Inside is a cave, with a large amount of air blocked by sea water... The plant can also be seen in the cave.

In other words, Tiger found the growing point of the plant.

Wet stone steps, moss, stalactites... There is no doubt that this place can be used as a hidden residence.

The plant grew in the middle of the cave. After Tiger came to the cave, he first walked around the plant and then discovered a large number of boxes in the back corner.

He walked over and lightly kicked a box on the outside. Then he saw that the decayed wooden box was destroyed immediately, and a lot of golden gold coins rolled down.

But Tiger didn't pay attention to the gold coins. He circled back to the front of the plant again.

There is a flat stone in front of it. Perhaps someone once used it as a simple table, but now it has been curled up by the roots of this plant...

There seemed to be something placed on the stone. Tiger immediately used fishman karate to cut off part of the roots with his knife, and then took out the thing.

Is it a book?

No, it's a diary.

The material is not the parchment that pirates like to use to draw treasure maps, but some kind of special paper, similar to tree bark. I am afraid it is for this reason that this diary can be used in this environment. be preserved.

"July 28, 1997, sunny."

"My crew and I were lucky enough to leave the Kingdom of Gold, taking with us the great secret we found there..."

Tiger opened the diary at random, and then read the content on this page. The date of the diary immediately reassured him, because according to the information found by Luo and the others, the last capable user of Sensen Fruit was a great pirate who was active five or six hundred years ago.

He flipped through the pages.

After reading several articles in a row, Tiger roughly understood what kind of story was recorded in the diary.

The owner of this diary was once just an ordinary pirate, but he was very lucky. Not only did he not die on the cruel sea, but he recruited a group of reliable men and made his way to "The Great Sea" located in the second half of the Grand Line. "The Land of Gold"...

The name "Golden Country" is not common in the world today, and it can even be said that few people use it anymore. However, five or six hundred years ago, this name was famous because it was this wealthy country that gave birth to a powerful country. "Dragon-Slaying Swordsman" Ryoma.

Yes, the "Golden Country" is the former name of Wano, the current samurai country.

In this golden country, the owner of the diary witnessed the battle between Ryoma and another powerful swordsman, Cyrano. The battle between the two split the sky and shattered the earth.

The owner of the diary and his friends were affected by the aftermath of the battle and fell into a bottomless crevice...

"July 15, 1997, sunny?"

"I thought we would fall to pieces in the abyss, but who would have thought that there is a large forest of barnacles at the bottom of the abyss? Hahahaha, I've always been lucky!"

"It's not just barnacles, but also all kinds of plants. It's like a big forest here..."

"However, the big forest at the bottom of the abyss is nothing compared to the other things we saw... Those are the ruins of another golden country! Submerged by the sea! Intact and neat Qi, as if it was swallowed by the sea water in one night."

"Why? Why is there another Kingdom of Gold below the Kingdom of Gold? Why is it submerged by the sea?"

"And we saw *****"

"It's such a pity. That thing seems to be broken. No matter how we control it, it doesn't react at all... It obviously looks like a very powerful weapon!"

"But we saw other treasures in a place like a temple! That pattern, that shape! That's right! That's a Devil Fruit! And it's the top natural Devil Fruit!"

…

"August 10, 1997, Yin."

"Obviously one Devil Fruit is not enough for a whole ship, so I killed them... As a captain, this is a matter of course."

"I should have taken action when I knew we were at the bottom of the abyss, but that's when their power is needed. After all, we still have to go out..."

…

"August 19, 1997, sunny."

"It tastes really bad! It tastes worse than shit! Is this what Devil Fruit tastes like? But in order to gain the power, I ate them all without even leaving the skin or juice..."

"Saplings are starting to grow on my body. It feels numb and itchy. It feels very strange..."

"But it doesn't feel very powerful. This natural fruit...do I want to be a farmer?"

…

"September 9, 1999, sunny."

"I sank five pirate ships in one go today, hahaha! The luckiest thing in my life, Baron Carnival, is to get this dense fruit! What a powerful force it is! This is nature itself!"

"All the properties of plants can be reflected in me, all of them!"

"By the way, fire is really annoying! Why is there fire in this world?"

The name of the diary owner suddenly appeared in the diary, calling himself "Baron Carnival"...and Tiger had heard Luo and the others mention this name before.

The bastard pirate named Arthur, who was trying to find the "Lily Carnation" that can make people live forever, started taking action after seeing the words left by the "Carnival Baron"... But the "Carnival Baron" and this The "carnival baron" in the diary, shouldn't their active times be far apart?

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts were running around in Tiger's mind, and finally he suddenly turned around and focused his sights on the plant.

ps: You didn’t expect it, I directly inserted the latest information into it! According to the latest information, Wano Country used to be a large island country, but in order to protect Pluto, a huge wall was built. However, due to the accumulation of rainwater, the original Wano Country was flooded, and people built a new one at the highest point. The country of Wano. And the so-called founding of the country of Wano means destroying those walls.

ps: The secret room at the bottom of Wano contains the text of road signs and history. There are many plants. Pluto is here.

ps: Since Jack is a fishman, Kaido also knows that there is a secret below.

ps: The time when Ryoma was active was indeed around 1000, and that Cyrano was also a character officially designed by Oda, the second greatest swordsman in the world.

ps: Lu Niu is really a jerk, the most popular among the generals at present. I saw him chatting with Fujitora before, and I thought he was a dick, but he is quite good at showing off. I will give the Sensen Fruit to Tiger and create a truly powerful character.

ps: a joke

Green Bull: I am nature!

Red-haired: I am the king of face!

Green Bull: Then of course I have to give you face!
