Novel Star Chapter 440 Night Talk
Chapter 440 Night Talk
After exiting the space, Annie did not dare to stop for a moment, and quickly transformed and left the underground palace.
Not caring about the trouble she caused, Annie flew straight back to the tree house in the Giant Village.
Amidst the roar of the hunting wind, the small figure on the top of the giant tree attracted her attention.
Luffy sat cross-legged on top of the canopy, his hands hanging in his lap.
He stared at the distant sky in ecstasy, his soft black hair being rolled up by the wind, occasionally covering his sight.
It's rare to see Luffy this quiet.
Annie landed next to him gently and did not speak.
She followed Luffy's example, completely relaxing her body and quietly letting her mind go without thinking about anything.
The howling wind brings a chill when it passes over the skin, the black and white hair is tangled in the wind, and the fragrant fragrance of roses floats in the wind.
Anne likes to use rose scent very much, the smell is strong and long-lasting.
The quiet atmosphere did not last long, and Luffy's low murmur broke the moment of peace.
"Annie, am I Joyboy?"
His voice was so soft that it was blown away by the wind as soon as it came out.
Anne didn't turn to look at him.
"I thought you were before."
"But now I know you're not."
"You are Monkey D. Luffy, you are yourself."
“Am I going to be Joey Boy?”
His tone was calm, as if he was just asking a question that had nothing to do with him.
"Why do you think so?"
Anne was puzzled.
"I can feel that force driving me to do something."
Luffy spread out his hands and traced the lines on his palms inch by inch.
"Especially when you are in the fifth gear form, that kind of consciousness will appear in your mind. It is unconscious, like an instinctive reaction of the body."
"It seems like it's trying to tell me something, but, I don't understand."
He turned to look at Anne with confusion in his eyes.
"Annie, you are so smart and know everything. Can you tell me what it wants to do?"
Facing those crystal clear eyes, Annie's heart softened.
Yes, Luffy is just a boy under 20 years old.
But this young man used his young shoulders to carry the sky for the Straw Hats.
The so-called providence exists in the dark, but the consciousness of the world has been guiding him on the route that has been planned for him.
Luffy wants to become the Pirate King, but he doesn't necessarily have to inherit Joey Boy's will.
Everyone who fights bloody battles for freedom and equality is Joey Boy!
Annie reached out and rubbed his soft hair.
"Luffy, don't let other things tie your hands and feet, don't worry about anything else.
Do what you want to do and I will always support your decision. "
"It doesn't matter what it wants you to do, you just have to follow your heart."
"Is it okay even if I don't want to be the legendary liberation fighter?"
"of course can."
Anne always had a gentle smile on her face.
"Hasn't your dream always been to be the Pirate King? Then just calm down and become the future Pirate King."
Hearing Annie's answer, Luffy suddenly smiled.
"I don't like to be who it tells me to be, I want to be who I want to be."
"I want to become the Pirate King and hold a big party where the whole world will party together!"
"If you want to hold a big banquet that the whole world can enjoy together, you have to become that liberation fighter. I can also be that liberation fighter for a while."
Anne laughed.
She reached out and hugged Luffy.
"Don't worry about it. You don't have to be a liberation fighter."
"One Piece is the freest man on the sea. He does whatever he wants without any restraint."
"One Piece, big banquet."
“Do whatever you want and I promise, your dreams will come true.”
Annie patted Luffy's back gently.
Luffy, you are never alone.
When Luffy becomes the Pirate King, all your friends will be your support.
Of course that includes me.
If you don't want to take the path planned by fate, then let me take it.
I will be the warrior to liberate all mankind.
Annie looked at the blue sky in the distance and silently made up her mind.
Back in the treehouse, everyone gathered around Sauro and asked him about Joyboy.
But Sauro didn't know much. Faced with a series of questions from everyone, he couldn't answer many of them.
Therefore, the appearance of Annie and Luffy made him relieved.
"Annie! You're back!"
Everyone hurriedly gathered around.
"Are you OK?"
"Did you find out any inside information?"
"By the way, Annie, what you said is true. The giants really fought side by side with Joyboy 800 years ago!"
"Yes, Joyboy is the previous liberation fighter. He was even the one who once owned a huge kingdom with a high level of civilization!"
"He was the last Liberation Fighter, so Luffy may be the current Liberation Fighter! Because they are both owners of the Nika Fruit!"
"Oh my God, this is incredible!"
Luffy didn't pay attention to their chirping, he just pestered Sanji to act coquettishly and kept shouting for food.
Anne quietly listened to everyone's murmurings, then raised her head to look at Savullo, who was sitting cross-legged on the carpet.
"So, Mr. Sauro, you also have a historical stone tablet here, right?"
"Is it the red road sign historical text?"
"Can we take a look?"
There was silence all around.
The Straw Hats were shocked at first, and then their hearts filled with ecstasy.
Luffy, who always only remembered eating, was the first to react.
"really?"
"The last piece of red-red historical text is here?"
"Great! Can't we collect all the road signs and find Rafdru right away!"
"Awesome! We are about to reach the final island!"
"The Grand Secretary's car is now ours!"
"Luffy will become the Pirate King soon!"
Robin was a little confused.
"Annie, why do you say that?"
"I'm just guessing.
Legend has it that the last red historical stone tablet was in the hands of a burned man.
When he was in Wano Country, Kidd mentioned looking for a burnt man, and then he went straight towards Elbaf.
Mr. Sauro, whose whole body is covered with bandages, fits the characteristics of a burned man.
Moreover, Mr. Sauro knows Joyboi far better than I imagined. "
She looked steadily at Sauro.
"So I surmise that Mr. Sauro is the burned man."
Everyone looked at Sauro with hope.
Under the gaze of many pairs of eyes, Sauro sighed.
“I do have a historical text here, but it’s not a road sign text.”
Annie frowned slightly, something seemed to be a little beyond her expectation.
Sauro lifted up the carpet and pulled the thin rope on the ground, and a huge entrance appeared in the floor below.
“The history I know is nothing more than a comprehensive conclusion drawn from the archaeological documents left by O’Hara.
"In fact, no one knows how the news about the burned man holding the last piece of historical text spread."
"After Kuzan let me leave, I came to Elbaf. And I have always stayed here and never left. Naturally, it is impossible to wander around the world with the stone tablet."
Everyone followed Sauro into the basement, and a familiar stone tablet appeared in front of them.
Robin read the above content and determined that everything Sauro knew about the liberation fighters came from this stone tablet.
"So, Uncle Bandage, don't you know where the last stone tablet with the main text of the road sign is?"
Luffy was a little disappointed.
Sauro's eyelids trembled slightly.
Robin was keenly aware of his microexpression.
Annie felt a little disappointed, and there was low pressure all over her body.
I thought I could find the last signpost this time and board Ravdru before the final battle!
Everyone
They were all brainstorming, trying hard to figure out where the last signpost was.
"I always feel that since the World Government has controlled the world for so many years, and with Roger's lessons learned, it is impossible not to prevent people from gathering four road sign text monuments."
"You mean, the last piece of road sign text is in the hands of the World Government?"
"I think it is."
"Their strength is unfathomable, and the CP organization is even more pervasive. It is not impossible for them to obtain a red stone tablet."
"If the last road sign is in the hands of the World Government, how can we get it?"
"This is too difficult. Do you want to penetrate Mary Joa?"
"If it is really in the hands of the world government, there will really be a war."
"It's so scary. Are you planning to go to their base camp to rob or steal?"
"Sauro, do you know anything about the last road sign?"
Robin asked softly.
Savulo sighed slightly when he saw Robin also had an expectant expression on his face.
"The last signpost, maybe the red hair will know something."
"Red-haired Shanks?"
Sauro nodded.
"Why do you say that?"
"When they left Elbaf, one of the crew members said something."
"Boss, Luffy must have never imagined that the starting and ending point of his pirate journey is you. I really can't wait to meet him!"
"The starting point and the end point..."
"Speaking of which, Luffy became a pirate because of Red-Haired Shanks."
"Is it possible that the last road sign is in the hands of the red-haired pirates? Luffy needs to defeat him to get it?"
"The red-haired pirates..."
"Among all the Yonko teams, Anne rated him as the one with the pinnacle of strength!"
"It would be easier if the last signpost really was in his hands."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Zoro! You have forgotten that Annie said that our current strength is not enough to challenge the red hair!"
"At least we don't have to run around the world like headless flies, right?"
Zoro crossed his hands and spoke in an extremely calm tone.
"Comparatively, it seems to be better in the hands of the red-haired pirates than in the hands of the World Government."
“This is not yet confirmed to be in the hands of the red hair, so there is no need to worry so much.
Besides, doesn’t Anne know the redhead? Why don’t you ask? "
Franky's proposal was approved by everyone.
Annie didn't refuse, planning to wait until Elbaf's matter was resolved before contacting the red-haired man to inquire about the news.
"Robin, can you sort out all the historical texts we have collected so far and give them to me?"
Robin was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.
"it is good."
There seemed to be quite a commotion going on at the Stone Castle.Wave after wave of searching escorts came, but without exception, all returned without success.
On the second night in Elbaf, the night was particularly cold and quiet.
The Straw Hats were lying in a row in Sauro's treehouse.
After experiencing the explosion of information during the day, everyone lost sleep.
But in order not to affect their partners' rest, everyone closed their eyes and fell asleep.
"Can't everyone sleep?"
Chopper lay stretched out on the couch, his round eyes staring unblinkingly at the window that let in the moonlight.
"Well, I feel a little nervous when I think that we may have to meet the red-haired pirates soon."
It was rare for Usopp to express his fear so openly and honestly.
"What do you think my father would think of me?"
"Do I have the qualifications to stand in front of him and tell him openly and honestly that I am his son and my dream is to become a brave sea warrior..."
"Is this considered 'cowardice of being close to home'?"
"Don't worry, your father will be proud of you! You are already an upright man!"
"really?"
"of course it's true."
"It's great. Usopp seems to have realized his dream, doesn't it?"
"Ah, you suddenly compliment me so bluntly, I'm really not used to it!"
"When I defeat Shanks, I can become the Pirate King! I'm so looking forward to it! I haven't seen him for a long time! I miss them so much!"
"Although the panacea has not yet been successfully developed, I can be considered a real pirate. Doctor Dori should be proud of me!"
"You have always been her pride! After all, there is only one such excellent Dr. Xiaolu in the world."
"Hate it, even if you praise me, I won't be proud, idiot~"
"Ah, why do we have a premonition that our dreams are about to come true?"
"Yes, I think so too!"
"Half of the route has been completed! I will soon be able to circle the world, go back to Twin Capes to pick up Labu, and fulfill the Lumba Pirates' last wish!"
"The Sonny rides the wind and waves all the way. On the day Luffy becomes the Pirate King, its name will be remembered by the whole world, right?"
"Of course, it's the Pirate King's ship! It's also the only multifunctional pirate ship in the world!"
"I feel so happy just thinking about it!"
"Although I haven't been able to draw a complete nautical chart of the world, I can complete a nautical chart around the Grand Route, which is quite a sense of accomplishment!"
"Well, it feels really wonderful to personally unveil the mystery of a 100-year blank period."
"I also feel that the day when the fish-men clan can live openly and honestly under the sun seems to be within reach."
"Everyone is so close to their dreams. There seems to be no trace of my allblue yet."
"Isn't your allblue on Fish-Man Island?"
"Asshole green algae head, what do you mean!"
"literal meaning."
"Haha~ Some people's dreams may be the most unattainable."
"The greatest swordsman in the world, I guess I still have to wait~"
"Even if you haven't become the world's greatest swordsman yet, I can make you realize your own strength."
"Do you think I won't kick you to death?"
"Just try!"
"Wait a minute, isn't praise the theme tonight? If you want to quarrel, please get out of here."
The two stopped talking at the same time, Sanji because of Nami's suppression, and Zoro because of the large amount of wetness on his chest.
He reached out to touch the eyes of the person in his arms, and sure enough, his hands were stained with tears.
Just as he was about to speak, Annie squeezed his arm.
After all the words he wanted to say were swallowed, Zoro sighed softly and placed a comforting kiss on her forehead.
