Chapter 90: History Hidden Beneath the Yellow Sands
call!
A dry, sandy wind blew by, as if triggering a button for battle.
Roar!
Rumble!
The enormous, golden centipede roared, its massive body moving rapidly across the yellow sand, kicking up clouds of dust as it charged towards Aisha and Mumu, its serrated fangs bared.
"Meow!!"
"Mumu, to the left!"
Seeing the centipede lunging at them, Aisha shouted as Mumu yelled, then quickly ran to the centipede's right.
The white cat Mumu understood immediately. With a powerful leap, it landed on the left side, and without hesitation, with coordinated movements of its limbs, it twisted its body, opened its mouth wide, and pounced on the centipede's body.
Faced with the sudden separation of the human and the cat, the centipede decisively abandoned the smaller Elsa, believing the larger cat to be a greater threat.
Upon seeing the white cat Mumu pounce on it, it immediately turned its head and bit at the other cat.
Roar!
"Meow!!"
A glint of light flashed in Mumu's large cat eyes. She raised her paw and swung it towards the enormous mouth.
Stab it!
Roar!
puff!
The cat's claws sliced three bloody gashes into the centipede's lower jaw, causing it to roar in pain. Taking advantage of this, Mumu landed on the ground, then lunged at the centipede's abdomen with all its might.
"ah!!"
At the same time, on the back of the centipede, a figure leaped high into the air, raising a golden dagger in both hands, and thrusting it towards the centipede's body.
puff!
The golden dagger made by Enel was completely plunged into the back of the centipede by Aisha.
Roar!
The immense pain caused the centipede to struggle again, its thick tail sweeping towards Elsa.
Having already sensed her presence through Observation Haki, Aisha decisively released the golden dagger. Using the momentum from the centipede's swaying body, Aisha landed on the sand, rolling several times before coming to a stop.
Before she could even compose herself, Aisha immediately looked up at the white cat Mumu. Just as she fell, Mumu's large mouth had already bitten into the centipede's abdomen.
boom!
Roar!
The force of the white cat Mumu's lunge knocked the centipede down, but it didn't release its grip. Mumu frantically shook its head, swinging the ten-meter-long centipede around like a rope.
In an instant, yellow sand rose up, and the centipede's body crashed against the ground with a loud rumbling sound.
The white cat Mumu is quite strong. After training for two years under Mu Chong's gravity with Yi Xiao, and with the time spent on the Freedom ship, this big cat's strength is not to be underestimated.
puff!
Because Mumu swung with such force, it bit off a chunk of flesh from the centipede, causing blood to gush out and leaving a mess.
Roar!Roar!Roar!
Mumu spat out the chunk of meat in her mouth and quickly retreated. She then stared at the centipede in the desert, enduring excruciating pain as it frantically writhed its massive body, accompanied by continuous roars.
"Haha! Well done, you two!"
Just then, Mu Chong's voice came from the side, and the man and the cat quickly turned their heads to look.
It turned out that Mu Chong and his two companions had already dealt with all the dozens of centipedes and arrived just in time.
"Meow!!!"
When the white cat Mumu saw Muchong, it immediately raised its big head, its expression one of extreme pride.
"Pfft! Hehehe! Mumu..."
Seeing the white cat Mumu's expression, Elsa couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hey! You two actually defeated this guy! I've been underestimating you!"
"Tch! Still too weak!"
"Mumu's strength is probably already greater than that of an elephant!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
The group chatted and laughed, seemingly oblivious to the recent fight, as if it had been dealt with casually.
Shh! Shh!
Rumble!
"Hmm? Captain, look over there, the sand is starting to recede!"
Just then, a sudden tremor from the ground drew everyone's attention. Following the direction Slad was pointing, they saw that directly beneath the centipede's corpse, the desert sand was sinking.
"Judging from this, it looks like there's something underground?"
As he spoke, Baku immediately assumed a fighting stance and stood in front of the group.
"Hahaha! Don't be alarmed, everyone, I haven't sensed any living creatures!"
It's sizzling!
Enel laughed loudly, then lightning flashed, and his body appeared above the sinking sand.
"Huh? Such a big space? Hey, Captain, there's a huge underground chamber here!"
Enel saw the dark opening peeking out from beneath the yellow sand, exclaimed in surprise, and then shouted to the crowd.
At this moment, Mu Chong also became curious. He remembered that in the original work, Luffy and the others discovered an underground cave with Poneglyphs. Could it be here?
"Hey, Slade, take us there!"
Mu Chong said to Slad beside him
"Huh? You can also... Damn! No way, you were fighting with Seastone just now??"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Slad was taken aback. He was about to say something, but when he saw the bandage on Mu Chong's arm, he exclaimed in surprise.
Snapped!
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
Mu Chong slapped Slad on the shoulder, urging him to speak.
Slard exclaimed that Mu Chong's physique was monstrous, but he still activated the Cloud-Cloud Fruit's power. Instantly, a white cloud appeared beneath everyone's feet, carrying them towards the underground cave.
Swish!
The yellow sand at the cave entrance was still sliding down, and the pitch-black cave entrance was almost completely empty. Slade used his Devil Fruit power to slowly lower everyone down.
As soon as they entered the cave, their vision went dark, and it felt surprisingly cool inside compared to the blazing sun outside.
The underground cave resembles a palace buried underground; judging from the surrounding broken walls, it has been severely eroded by sand.
The group continued down the steps, barely able to see the path ahead by the light from the cave entrance.
Chirp chirp chirp...
"Meow!!"
After walking for an unknown amount of time, just as everyone was immersed in their exploration, a huge black rat suddenly darted out. The white cat, Mumu, was about to chase after it when Muchong grabbed it by the long fur around its neck.
"Hey, you silly cat, have your instincts kicked in yet? You want to chase after a mouse the moment you see it?"
In response to Mu Chong's words, the white cat Mu Mu meowed in dissatisfaction. What's wrong with a cat catching mice?
"Captain! There's something ahead!"
At that moment, Enel, who was walking at the front, suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
When everyone reached it and saw the enormous, pitch-black rock, they all took a deep breath.
"This stone... I think I've seen it once before on Skypiea, haven't I?"
Slad looked at the stone in front of him curiously, unable to understand a single word on it.
"That's right, this one looks a lot like the one on Sky Island. Could it be that there's more than one of these stones?"
Enel also looked thoughtful; he, too, couldn't understand the writing.
What does it say on this?
Baku walked over to the stone, rubbed it a few times, and asked...
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Mu Chong, who seemed to be searching for something, awaiting his answer. In everyone's minds, their captain seemed to know everything.
"captain???"
"Ah! This is the Poneglyph!"
When Mu Chong saw the stone, he wasn't particularly curious. He was just curious if there were any other treasures inside. He remembered reading in some novel that there was a remarkable Devil Fruit inside. He wondered if it was true.
Hearing people call his name, he subconsciously uttered the name of the stone.
After he finished speaking, the entire cave fell into an eerie silence. Mu Chong suddenly felt a chill and instinctively turned around to look.
There were four people and a cat, ten eyes fixed on him, their gazes filled with: And then what?
"Hahaha! Relax, relax, I thought you guys knew the Poneglyphs!"
Seeing everyone's reaction, Mu Chong covered the back of his head and laughed. Then, disregarding the mysterious Devil Fruit, he walked over to the rock and began to speak.
"The Poneglyphs are indestructible stone tablets forged by the ancestors of the Kozuki clan of Wano Country during the Void Century. There are two types: one is the four red Road Poneglyphs that record the location of Laugh Tale, and the other is the twenty-six Poneglyphs that record the history of that Void Century. If the information on these twenty-six Poneglyphs is combined, the true face of that century can be seen. However, the study of the Poneglyphs is defined as a crime by the World Government, so the creators scattered them all over the world, hoping that someone could collect them and reveal the truth of history to the world."
