sea circle calendar 1506.
Punk Danger.
Located in the second half of the Grand Line, this island belongs to the World Government and is used to imprison defense.
At the same time, this island is also one of the world's number one scientist research bases, Vegapunk.
But now, Vegapunk is not on the island. The one who lives there is another scientist known as the "highest authority on weapons of mass destruction" -Caesar Clown.
In addition to him, there are dozens of researchers and a small number of security guards.
The protection force seems weak, but it is more than enough.
After all, not many people dare to attack the World Government on the island, and Caesar Clown himself is also a logia Devil Fruit user with strong combat ability.
just...
In this vast ocean, there are always people with desires
who are good at taking advantage of small "opportunities".
A small piece of gravel was fed into the laboratory through the measuring channel.
Then more gravel...
"crocodile?!"
Inside the laboratory, Caesar stared at the man in front of him.
He had a hunched head, a scar across his face, an earring in his ear, and a cigar in his mouth.
Wearing a fur coat, his left hand was gone, replaced by a golden hook.
The person was none other than [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile. He had just gone to sea a few years ago and became one of the "Shichibukai" because of his extraordinary strength!
Caesar didn't understand why the other party appeared here.
The Shichibukai were "official pirates" recruited by the World Government. Their status was very special, and there were still a few empty seats.
They had certain official plundering rights, and there was no reason to raid the World Government's research laboratory!
"Hehehe, what should I say?"
Crocodile chuckled a few times and thought about his words carefully.
Just at this moment, two other security team members discovered the anomaly, forced their way into the laboratory, and locked Crocodile with their knives.
Uh huh! Uh huh!
The two knives fell, but only hit the body that had turned into sand.
This is the ability of the logia fruit!
Crocodile grabbed one of them by the neck, and in the blink of an eye, he sucked all the air from his body, evolving into a mummy.
Of course, the other person also couldn't escape and was easily drowned by the gravel that emerged from the ground.
Caesar watched this scene. Although he was also a natural devil fruit user, as a scientist he definitely couldn't beat the practical people in front of him.
We have no choice but to take out the weapon of the "world government" to suppress the people.
"[Sand Crocodile], do you want to be wanted by the World Government again!"
"No."
"I originally just wanted to secretly find out some secrets, but I didn't expect to find more interesting information."
Crocodile's eyes were gloomy, he raised his eyes and looked at Caesar, and said with a low smile:
"Caesar... do you know? If the news of me making trouble here spreads, you should be the first person to be wanted, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Caesar's expression suddenly became tense.
"What... are you talking about?"
"Stop pretending!"
Crocodile said gloomily: "It seems that you have secretly moved something to this island behind the backs of the World Government and Vegapunk."
"I-I don't know..."
Caesar's confidence was getting weaker.
Crocodile took advantage of the situation and said: "You found something under the seabed of O'Hara's original habitat in the West Sea, then you brought it back and planned to study it secretly, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Caesar broke out in a cold sweat, then immediately locked the button in the laboratory, and finally announced the announcement.
"The alarm is false. There are no intruders. Everyone should do sailors!"
"Yes!"
After hearing this, all the members of the security team stopped digging into the laboratory and returned to their posts.
Only Caesar was panting, with an expression of impending disaster.
Because Crocodile was absolutely right!
Where is O'Hara?
It used to be a famous archaeological shrine in the West Sea. Later, because the archaeologists on the island secretly studied its true history, the World Government issued a buster call order to completely erase it.
In other words, the three words "O'Hara" are now taboo in the sea!
Anyone or anything related to O'Hara will be eradicated by the world government.
And he, Caesar Clown, was not a good person from the start. He often engaged in illegal research and even human experiments.
Recently, his private exploration team discovered something strange at the bottom of the original O'Hara.
Not a boring history book, but something more special...
-----
Caesar wanted to decipher the secret, so
research begins, Crocodile breaks into the laboratory!
And Crocodile is right.
Caesar does not dare to report Crocodile's illegal behavior to the World Government at all, because Caesar's current behavior is even more "illegal"!
"Hehehe, I thought I wouldn't get anything this time, but I didn't think it would be interesting."
Crocodile took a puff of his cigar and blew the smoke towards Caesar.
"Why don't you show me your secret? If I'm not interested, I'll leave."
What is he interested in?
Of course it's [Pluto], one of the three ancient weapons.
Crocodile has found clues about [Pluto], and since O'Hara is a sacred archaeological site, its remains may be related to the ancient weapons!
Caesar looked at Crocodile and realized that this would be the case today.
I can't fight anymore, I can't run, and I can't kill.
The only choice is cooperation.
So he immediately put on a smiling face and laughed: "Wow, wow, wow, wow, I didn't expect the famous [Sand Crocodile] to be interested in scientific research!"
"Stop your nonsense!"
Pebble Crocodile's side is full, and he is always ready to act.
Caesar quickly calmed him down and said: "Okay, okay, I'll show you now!"
He walked over to the wall and pressed the button next to it. The walls slowly lifted, revealing the objects enclosed within.
Caesar displayed a slightly stiff expression.
"But to be honest, when I first saw this thing, I trembled a little..."
"Hm?"
Crocodile was confused.
This man, Caesar Courant, was also a well-known figure in the underground world. He had many weapons of mass destruction and developed a complete warmonger.
What could make such a person feel "shaking"?
Rumble, rumble...
The wall slowly lifts, revealing the "thing" hidden behind it.
Crocodile's pupils narrowed.
Is that... a historical text?
The so-called historical texts were special boulders that were indestructible and had ancient characters engraved on them.
But Crocodile quickly dismissed these econometrics.
Because the object in front of me was a large stone, and the material looked like a historical text, but there was no ancient writing on it.
Instead, there is a very beautiful "human statue"!
"There are no ancient words on the historical text stone, but there is… a person carved on it?"
Crocodile looked at the man.
It was a young man, nearly three meters tall, with arms outstretched and legs straightened and then crossed.
Crocodile was quite familiar with various arts, so he was able to conclude that even the top sculptors in this ocean would find it difficult to imitate this statue!
Too perfect.
No matter the expression, posture, movements, or muscle lines on the body, everything is perfect!
That is the most primitive sense of human power and dynamism, without any burden!
Wow, wow, what an amazing and important discovery!
Caesar couldn't help it.
He was a scoundrel, a warmonger, an arms dealer, but he was also a scientist.
There was actually a person carved into the stone made of the same material as the historical texts!
How did you do it? Why did the ancients carve him?
more importantly--
who is he?
*_*
Even Crocodile couldn't help but freeze in place.
Originally he just wanted to threaten Caesar with something to expand his power, but unexpectedly he seemed to have discovered something even more amazing.
Are you afraid? Of course not.
For an ambitious person, more "secrets" means more "opportunities"!
"So..."
Crocodile opened his eyes and stared at the carved young man's face, "Who is he that the ancients could carve into the historical texts?"
"There are some words under the statue that seem to be his name."
Seeing that Crocodile was interested, Caesar relaxed and became close to him as a "new underground trading partner."
"But I don't know the details. Besides, I can't read ancient texts."
Crocodile frowned slightly, slowly stepped forward, and observed the row of words under the statue.
Muttered: "Who are you?"
"I am Alvin Lindsay."
The voice spoke, but for the third time neither of the other two responded.
But in the next moment, Crocodile and Caesar's eyes widened and cold sweat broke out.
Wow! Who is talking?!
Looking for the voice, I saw the "perfect" statue open its eyes, and at the same time, moved it slightly, and a few thin stones fell.
The pupils stared and observed the two people in front of him.
"I am Alvin Lindsay."
When the statue opened its mouth, its voice was a little sluggish and a little hesitant.
"What era is it now?"
