One Piece: The World's Strongest in Roger's Era

Chapter 423 Three Questions from the Depths of History

"Madam Shi, ... you don't have to look at me like that. The winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. They all deserve what they get. It's all destined."

Oleini spoke in an old-fashioned manner, but it didn't feel abrupt at all, as if it was supposed to be that way.

In other words, as the third-generation glory of Leon, Oleini must also be so steady.

Toki hugged Kozuki Momonosuke and Kozuki Hiyori tightly, fearing that Oleini would kill her last hope with one knife. Oleini walked past Kozuki Oden's figure like a dead dog and walked straight towards Toki.

As he raised his hand, the darkness emitted by the Dark-Dark Fruit turned into dark chains that flew away from Oleini's body, and forcibly pulled away Momonosuke Kozuki, who was scared to pee his pants, and Hiyori Kozuki, who was crying, from Toki's arms.

Oleini put away his smile and remained expressionless. Darkness filled the air, even blocking the Red Earl and Barrett's vision, but it did not block their observation Haki.

Tian Yueshi's lips trembled as he asked:

"You are so brutal that you are doomed to fail. Although Tianluo Jiuying is gone, the people of Banyue——"

Oleini caught the key word "Ban Yue's people" and interrupted Tian Yue's mumbling, saying coldly:

"I can keep the lineage of Guangyue going, but you have to answer my questions. Don't try to refuse or evade me. My father is no less powerful than any god in history, you know."

Tian Yueshi was shocked by Oleini's unyielding tone. The dark chains bound Tian Yueshi's body at the same time, and the Dark-Dark Fruit also sealed Tian Yueshi's fruit ability.

"First question, where did all the people of Half Moon go?"

Tianyue was always a woman who was as brave as a man. Even though she was being slaughtered, she remained calm. She thought for a moment and then answered Oleini:

"The people of Half Moon are all over the sea. Everyone who yearns for freedom and peace is a Half Moon citizen."

Oleini's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ask:

"Second question, are the people of Half Moon the same as D?"

The people of Half Moon, the will of D. Are those whose names contain D the people of Half Moon?

Leon Lex once went to the moon, explored the lunar ruins, and went down to the deep sea to witness the oath of Aquaman. Lex knew all the secrets that Roger knew and all the history of the past eight hundred years.

But... what about eight hundred years ago?

What about in the more distant past?

Lex couldn't even find any relevant records, but through continuous investigation, he gradually discovered a fact -

Thousands of years ago, or even longer ago, the world underwent two great changes, and the ocean today is completely different from the ocean in the past.

The so-called blank hundred years of history, that is, the great war eight hundred years ago, was only the final stage of the second great change, used to determine the real winner between Nerona Im and Joey Boy.

When Lex passed through Tianyue, he learned some history about the first world pattern change, so that he could better deal with the so-called "gods" in history.

So Lex arranged for Oleini to ask Tianyue these questions.

As long as Oleini asks, no matter how Tian Yueshi answers, Oleini will know the real truth, because Oleini can read minds, and the Red Earl next to him is always there to back him up.

Ordinary strong men pursue worldly desires, and stronger men pursue the true meaning of power. Emperor-level strong men participate in changing the world pattern, and the king of the sea controls the world...

The more powerful gods walked into history and even changed history! ~

This was true for Nerona Yim, and it is also true for Leon Lex now.

Oleini was able to see through Tian Yueshi's thoughts at all times, but he still pretended to listen carefully to Tian Yueshi's answers.

Tian Yueshi answered Oleini's second question:

"Eight hundred years ago, the people of Half Moon were not D. D was the will we tried to convey to future generations after our failure. But now it seems that the people of Half Moon and D can also be understood as one. The people of Half Moon believe in freedom and peace. The people with wings on their backs, the giant people, the tiny people, the three-eyed people, the long-armed people... are all considered the people of Half Moon."

Oleini already had the answer in his mind, nodded slightly, and asked the last question:

"The third question is, the demons from hell, have they been passed down for eight hundred years, or... for thousands of years?"

The devil from hell exists deep in Marijoa. Did Nerona Im and the Five Elders under his command appear in the great war eight hundred years ago, or in an even more distant past?

Tian Yueshi didn't know how to answer Oleini's question for a moment, because even she didn't know the answer to this question. Tian Yueshi pondered for a moment and chose to tell everything she knew:

"I didn't actually participate in the great war, but I heard an incident from the elders of the Tianyue family. At that time, the patriarch of the Tianyue lineage mentioned by chance that when Joey Boy was on the back of the giant elephant, he suddenly said, "I want to save Yimu." Do you know who Yimu is?"

Tian Yueshi had no doubt that the overly mature blond boy in front of him knew as much as he did. After all, his father was the king of the new world, an existence that did not exist in the prophecy, but had indeed become a god capable of changing history.

Oleni nodded:

"I know, keep talking."

Tian Yueshi's eyes flickered. These things happened so long ago that she couldn't remember many details. However, this one thing was like a nail stuck deep in her heart. She continued:

"The chieftain also added, 'What Joey Boy said is very strange', because Yimu had betrayed the people of Half Moon and became our enemy at that time."

"The only possibility is that Joey Boy realized that Yimu did not betray Ban Yue on his own initiative, but was controlled by someone unknown."

"Although I don't know whether Yim has been passed down for a longer time, but based on what I have seen, I think this speculation may be true. The Yim during the great war is no longer Yim himself."

Oleini digested this information. What he read about Tian Yueshi's inner thoughts was exactly the same as the information Tian Yueshi said. Tian Yueshi was not so smart as to lie.

Oleini put away the dark chain and said calmly:

"I am satisfied with all three of your answers, so I will give you a chance to save the Kozuki lineage. Choose one, Kozuki Momonosuke, or Kozuki Hiyori. You can use your fruit ability to send them to the future."

"After all, you will feel more at ease this way."

Toki looked at Kozuki Oden who was still being stepped on by Barrett. At this moment, Kozuki Oden was not only physically beaten into a cripple, but his heart was also completely hopeless. It could be said that he was a complete useless person.

Toki looked at his children beside him. Momonosuke Kotsuki was looking at him pleadingly:

"Mother! Please send me to the future! I don't want to die."

Kozuki Hiyori was too young and could only cry.

Tian Yueshi was in hesitation for a moment.

Oleini did not urge him.
