Chapter 311: Long-lost Sauro!
Chapter 311: Long-lost Sauro!
"Sir, I believe your purpose is the same as theirs, then we will naturally choose you."
"But I still need to discuss this matter with my tribe."
Yalulu's tone was very heavy, but his heart had already felt much more relaxed.
He had always been guessing the real reason why Borsalino came here. Now the truth was revealed and the situation was simpler than he had imagined.
He didn't want the giant warriors to join the war easily.
But when the world governments are all drawn into the vortex of war, what reason do they have to avoid war?
"It's okay, I can give you some time."
A meaningful smile appeared on Borsalino's face.
He can indeed give these guys from Giant Island some time, but that may not be the case for others.
What's more, he has already arrived here first, so no matter what, the final outcome of this matter will not easily get out of control.
Meanwhile, in Elbaf, the Elbaf Owl Library.
A burly guy slowly put down the book in his hand, and a look of extreme emotion appeared in his eyes.
"It turns out that the trajectory of fate cannot be escaped."
"Those damn guys finally showed up."
The man was wearing a specially made teacher's uniform and the room was filled with various books.
However, no matter how many books there were, they still could not save him from the confusion in his heart.
"Teacher Sauro, Ilva and the others have all been kidnapped."
"It's just that we haven't found the kidnapped people yet."
A young giant man walked in in a hurry.
The guy in teacher's uniform in front of him slowly turned around.
This person is the survivor of the O'Hara incident.
He was once a vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters, but because of his dissatisfaction with the Demon Slayer Order, he eventually fled to Elbaf.
He has a very good relationship with Robin, which is one of the reasons why Robin and others can survive in Elbaf intact.
He has been working in the library as a history teacher all these years.
And he continued to study various books, trying to find the real clues and location of the great secret treasure.
The library he was in was the same library on O'Hara Island that hid the historical truth.
Many scholars of O'Hara have come very close to the truth.
It’s a pity that after the demon-killing order was issued, the entire O’Hara was lost in the flames.
Because of Sauro's existence, most of the books in O'Hara's library were left behind.
The clues about a century of blank history hidden in it have always been a thorn in the heart of the world government.
"Don't worry, they wouldn't dare to hurt those children."
"I'm the one they want to find most."
Sauro stood up slowly, his face full of determination.
He has been on the run for so many years and he doesn't want to run away anymore.
"Teacher Sauro, you are a part of our Elbaf. No one will push you out."
The young man from the giant tribe also spoke in a firm tone.
Among the giants, no one would easily betray their companions.
Not to mention that Sauro himself is a member of the giant race.
His wisdom and everything he kept transformed the entire Elbaf to some extent.
Otherwise, the intelligence and consciousness levels of the many giants in Elbaf would drop to a lower level.
"Don't worry, kid. Things haven't gotten that bad yet."
Sauro patted the young man's arm gently, and finally pushed open the door and walked out.
As soon as he walked out, he saw Borsalino standing opposite him.
"Marshal...your Excellency."
Sauro immediately lost his voice, his mouth moved but he couldn't utter any extra words.
"Sauro, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
The look in Borsalino's eyes was also very complicated.
Sauro can also be considered a victim of O'Hara's demon-killing order.
During the Demon Slayer Order incident, he fought Aokiji head-on in order to protect Robin.
But his survival at that time was completely accidental, and Aokiji thought he had killed him long ago.
In any case, Sauro can be considered one of those persecuted by the navy.
What's more, he was originally a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters.
Hearing Borsalino's remarks, which sounded like an amnesty, Sauro felt relieved.
With Borsalino's words, he at least no longer had to worry about being hunted by the navy.
The world government has already been affected by the war.
It is estimated that I may not be able to survive in the future, let alone continue to hunt him down.
This time he finally got a real new life.
Of course, he still needs to at least get through the current crisis.
"Marshal, I was also reckless at the beginning."
Sauro said this somewhat bitterly.
In any case, he had made the decision to betray the Navy Headquarters.
Using the Demon Killing Order to deal with O'Hara was a unanimous decision of the World Government and the Marine Headquarters.
He was just a lieutenant general of the headquarters, but he dared to disobey the demon-slaying order and protected Robin.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Aokiji had not taken him seriously at the time and simply froze him and left.
I'm afraid he had already died in the fire that swept through O'Hara.
"Let's not talk about what happened back then. Besides, if you hadn't stepped forward, I'm afraid the entire O'Hara library wouldn't have been preserved."
Borsalino looked around the huge library in front of him with emotion, his mind full of thoughts.
Even he didn't know much about this blank hundred years of history.
He knew only a few fragments.
But as long as we have this library in front of us, the real blank and the hundred years of history can be deduced sooner or later.
Not to mention the truth about the great secret treasure hidden here.
Of course, Roger's great secret treasure was nothing to Borsalino.
However, this was at least his true wish in his previous life.
If you don't understand it well, then you have come to this world in vain.
"Sir, please follow me."
As if realizing that Borsalino's attitude towards him was not overly harsh, Sauro hesitated for a moment and then made an extremely difficult decision in his heart.
Borsalino was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly, and followed him in.
After entering, all I could see were densely packed bookshelves filled with all kinds of huge books.
Each book looks ordinary on the surface, but only the dead people of O'Hara, scholars, and Sauro himself know how terrible secrets are recorded in these books.
"Please take a seat, Marshal."
Sauro specially arranged two seats, which were two huge chairs, the surface of which was painted the color of magma.
Borsalino looked at the huge chair beneath him in a curious way, with thoughts running through his mind.
He had already guessed Sauro's intention behind this arrangement.
Perhaps sensing Borsalino's gaze, Sauro gave a wry smile and explained.
"Don't think too much, Marshal. I don't mean anything against you."
"You have seen my current appearance. This is the tragic state of being burned in the O'Hara incident."
"In order to remember the suffering I have endured, I made all the chairs I come into contact with on a daily basis look like magma."
"I was thinking of taking revenge myself, but now I think everything is a thing of the past."
Sauro shook his head as he spoke, his expression becoming increasingly bitter.
Borsalino looked up and found that Sauro was covered with bandages, but even so, it could not hide the very clear and visible burn marks all over his body.
In addition, his right leg had long been replaced with a wooden limb.
This guy looks extremely weathered.
You should know that before the O'Hara world, Sauro was a scholar of the giant tribe with masculine long orange hair and beard.
His clothes were quite avant-garde, he was wearing jeans.
His favorite thing was a black cowboy hat, and he usually called himself a free cowboy scholar.
Everything that was once there is in stark contrast to the vicissitudes of life today.
"Don't worry, Sauro, the O'Hara incident was indeed the biggest mistake made by the Navy Headquarters."
"After I became the Marshal, I abolished all these outdated rules."
"There will never be any so-called Demon Slayer Order again."
The look on Borsalino's face was very serious.
In his opinion, the so-called Demon-Slaying Order is simply the biggest bad habit in this world.
Regardless of the original intention of the Demon Slaying Order, every time it is used, it is to safeguard the dignity of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
This is a fact that is ridiculous to the extreme.
Even if Sauro holds a grudge against me for this, it's not a big deal.
After all, who can really ignore such hatred?
"Thank you for your understanding, sir."
Sauro stood up and bowed to Borsalino's attack.
"There's no need for this between you and me."
Borsalino gently held the armrest, and a golden light forced Sauro's body to sit on the seat.
Under such circumstances, although Sauro appeared calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.
"As the rumors say, you are simply invincible in this world."
Having lived in Elbaf for many years, how could Sauro not have seen strong people?
Not to mention that the many giant warriors in Elbaf are also powerful enough to crush most of the warriors in this world.
After experiencing Borsalino's slight attack just now, Sauro could conclude that even if all the giant warriors were added together, they would probably not be a match for Borsalino.
When that golden light appeared just now, Sauro felt that he had easily lost all his strength to resist.
He is just a scholar from the giant tribe, but with his strong body, his fighting ability is not bad at all.
After all, he originally served as a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters.
With his status, if he were to come to the sea and become the captain of a new pirate group, he would probably become famous and a supernova right away, let alone a problem.
Unfortunately, he still had no power to resist.
"Sauro, just tell me what you want to say."
Borsalino smiled and waved his hand. He really didn't have much time to waste here.
Elbaf's trip has not yet achieved any real results, so now is not the time for him to relax.
"My Lord, I had intended to keep this secret until my death."
“I think it’s time now.”
When this sentence appeared, Borsalino's brows had already frowned slightly.
His heart was already filled with anticipation.
"If you don't want too many people to know, I can also choose to keep it a secret for you."
Borsalino nodded slightly.
He was just a little curious about the true history of the so-called blank hundred years, and he didn't really want to get to the bottom of it.
"You are joking, my Lord. I don't think there are many people in this world who can force you to tell a secret."
Sauro couldn't help laughing.
As a famous giant scholar, his IQ is far above the average level of the giants.
It is no exaggeration to say that after years of interpretation of the books left by O'Hara.
Sauro's intelligence and experience have reached the top ranks in this world.
Even Vegapunk at the time gave an affirmative answer to this question.
During his in-depth communication with Vegapunk, Borsalino learned that even Vegapunk was very curious and eager about the library left by O'Hara.
It’s just that he had already chosen a field of science and technology that he had been sticking to.
That's why I didn't chase after everything O'Hara had.
"Sir, Roger kept shouting about the great secret treasure when he was executed."
"Many pirates and major forces in this world also make various impulsive actions because of the possible existence of treasure."
“Everyone is pursuing the legendary great wealth.”
"I can be sure that the Great Secret Vault is real, and that it contains not only countless wealth, but also the true origin of this world."
The expression on Sauro's face became more and more solemn, and at the end, there was even a hint of piety in his eyes.
This immediately aroused Borsalino's curiosity to the extreme.
"Treasures are fine, but what on earth is this world's original power that you're talking about?"
Borsalino couldn't help but ask.
"Sir, I believe you already know a few brief things about the last era, so it will be much easier for me to explain."
After Sauro sorted out his thoughts, he immediately began to tell the story.
It turns out that the era where Im and Joyboy once lived was the Second Era.
The nobles of that world are divided into the Half Moon Clan and the Full Moon Clan.
The Half Moon Tribe, to which Joy Boy belonged, ultimately failed in the battle that ended the world.
In the end, the Celestial Dragon Im successfully ruled the entire world and ushered in the Third Era.
The D clan, which was also active on the historical stage in the third era, was the only surviving branch of the Half Moon clan.
