Chapter 199 The Chosen Son
Vic understood a little. One was to reduce his own consumption, and the other was to get extra energy replenishment. He could persist like this for almost two hundred years. This was really abnormal.
If he were asked to do this, he would definitely not be able to do it. Isn't it just a piece of historical text? Is it necessary to go to such lengths? The price is too high! Vic turned his head and looked at the historical text next to the giant mechanical soldier.
"Is it the ability of the devil fruit?" Although what the old man said just now was very reasonable, if you want to obtain the essence of others, it is not something that can be done by ordinary means.
"Yes, by exchanging fruits, you can exchange some things with others. I am exchanging various feelings and repairs for a little energy.
For young people, these are insignificant. I never trade with older people. I also used the power of the fruit to make myself short like I am now, just to live longer! "The old man said it calmly, but Vic still felt very sad.
"Is it the same for every generation? How can you guarantee that you can find this devil fruit every time?"
This is what puzzles Victor, the devil fruits appear randomly, so it is understandable that you can pass it on for several generations, but it is not normal for each generation to live for so long.
"No need to look for it! As long as I die, this devil fruit will appear in this space. I found the devil fruit here after my predecessor died. I don't know the reason.
However, this devil fruit seems to have memories and keeps regenerating here, so since the first generation, this island has been transformed into a hot spring resort.
Because of the power of the fruit, this island is also very famous and there is never a shortage of outsiders, so we can live so long. "Vic believed this, but only half of it.
It is said that devil fruits have their own will, but the will of this devil fruit is particularly strong, or this space has some kind of setting that prevents the power in the devil fruit from escaping.
If this is true, then if we catch the person with special abilities and kill him here, can we obtain his devil fruit? This is a question worth studying.
"If you say so, there is actually no need to arrange people here. Ordinary people can't find this place. What is the meaning of your existence here?
Are you strong enough to protect the historical text from being taken away?"
Vic still didn't understand why there was someone assigned to guard the cave. His intuition told him that the old man had some very important information that he hadn't told him.
"Haha, apart from my slightly stronger observation Haki, I am useless in other aspects. Can you hear the sound of the historical text?" The old man did not directly answer Vic's question, but asked a question in return.
"I can't hear it! You mean the ability to hear the voices of all things? I don't have that ability."
Vic didn't lie. The other party actually asked this. I guess there is some way to test it out. Vic looked at the historical text again.
He knew that Pirate King Roger had this ability, and could hear the unique voice of the historical text. The second person was King Luffy, but he had not yet fully awakened this ability.
As for Oden and Momonosuke, it is estimated that apart from the sounds of large animals, they cannot hear the sounds of historical texts.
Being able to hear the audio of the historical text does not mean that you can interpret the true meaning of the carvings on it. This is why Roger asked Whitebeard to let Kozuki Oden board his ship.
Also, if one can understand the true text of history by listening to the voices of all things, then Robin would have lost her role in the Straw Hat Pirates, and Oda would not make any unnecessary arrangements.
In other words, the ability to listen to the voices of all things is just an ability for finding stones like historical texts. To put it bluntly, it is a tool, but if you want to understand the meaning of the text on it, you still need people like Oden and Robin who can understand ancient texts.
"Oh! You know how to listen to the voices of all things. You have some knowledge. Since you can't hear any sound, it proves that you are not the chosen one. There are some things I can't tell you. You already know a lot. Let's leave here!"
The old man obviously has a secret and is carrying some kind of mission, but he just won't tell Wick. Like the Pirate King Roger, he is waiting for the appearance of that person, Oda's own son, Straw Hat Luffy.
It was a pity that Vic didn't get the lost history, but he would not do anything to force the old man.
His main purpose of coming here was to investigate the hot spring. It would be enough to know that it was the old man who did it and that he had no ill intentions towards anyone and was not dangerous.
Moreover, I learned some secrets here, saw another piece of historical text, and saw giant mechanical soldiers that I had never seen before. This trip was worthwhile.
If you really want to know the message they want to convey, just tie up the Straw Hat Boy later. Maybe there is important information in this historical text. If that doesn't work, you can ask Robin to translate it.
Since the old man didn't say anything, Vic didn't bother to ask anymore. He went down the steps and came to the back of the platform. He stood in front of the main text of history and started reading.
Anyway, he has a photographic memory and can remember everything after reading it once. He can ask Robin to translate these contents later. She should be very interested. I just don't know if she will tell the truth to Vic, after all, Vic's identity is a navy.
"Why are you looking at it? You don't know how to read it. When you go out, don't say you have seen the historical text. Don't write this kind of text. It will bring you fatal disaster!" The old man saw that Vic was staring at the historical text, so he kindly reminded him.
"I see. I'm just curious to see!" Vic had memorized all the content. Finally, he took a look at the huge iron lump next to him, and flew out of the cave on the top of the mountain directly on the moon steps, without taking away a cloud.
"You're not bad, young man. You're so strong at such a young age, and your aura is positive. I hope you'll be able to help that person in the future!"
After Vic left, such sounds echoed in the space of the mountain, and then it became silent. The flames on the inner wall also went out, and the space fell into darkness again. It was unknown when the next visitor would come.
After coming out of the mountain space, Vic did not go back directly, but came to another town on the island. This time he had an important thing to do on the island, which was to do a functional test on the space ring, so he needed to buy some things.
The space ring cannot be exposed for the time being, so it is most appropriate to act alone, but his observation Haki has been paying attention to the battle in Rebecca.
The fire on the hot spring street has been brought under control. With the help of the people from the elite camp and the cooperation of the people on the street, and with the addition of abundant hot spring water, the fire has been almost put out. Many people are already watching the fight between Rebecca and Kangbo, including people from the elite camp, tourists, and indigenous people on the island.
