Stusi obediently took another piece of the red historical text from the world within the gate and immediately put it back.
One glance is all it takes; you can't look at it any longer!
But that's enough. Even if it was just a fleeting glimpse, both Dr. Clover and Olvia were certain that it was a piece of Poneglyph.
Seeing the intense look in their eyes as they looked at him, Lei Luo knew that he had piqued their interest.
Lei Luo's lips curled up, and he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you've been secretly researching the Void Century of history all these years without the World Government's knowledge, and you even have a number of archaeological expeditions traveling all over the world."
Dr. Clover and Olvia exchanged a glance and nodded silently.
They clearly came prepared, so denying it is pointless.
Moreover, he first revealed his identity and then produced two historical texts, which shows considerable sincerity.
But why would a pirate with a bounty of 1.5 billion show such sincerity to them?
Lei Luo shook his head slightly: "You won't be able to know about the blank hundred years of history this way."
Olvia blurted out, "Do you have a way?"
Lei Luo nodded confidently: "Of course!"
When history was involved, Dr. Clover's expression became serious: "I'd like to hear more!"
Lei Luo casually found a chair to sit on, and Stusi obediently stepped forward to massage his shoulders.
With his eyes slightly narrowed in comfort, Lei Luo spoke eloquently:
"That piece was red. There are four of them in the world. They are the historical texts of the road signs, pointing to four different locations. Connecting the four coordinates, the central location is the final place that no one has been to for eight hundred years. It contains a complete record of the history of this blank hundred years."
Dr. Clover and Olvia looked at each other, unable to hide their shock!
"Really...really?" Olvia's voice trembled as she spoke, still finding it hard to believe.
Dr. Clover's expression turned serious, and he nodded slightly: "It's true!"
Olvia stiffly turned to look at Dr. Clover. If the doctor said so, then it must be true. But how could a pirate know more than a historian like herself?!
Seeing this, Lei Luo teased, "Your academic skills are lacking, Miss Olvia!"
Olvia blushed and stubbornly retorted, "You're the one who's not very skilled, I just..."
Lei Luo waved his hand, interrupting Olvia's sophistry, "Alright, alright, stop explaining. Explaining is just covering up."
Olvia pointed at Leilo, too angry to say anything.
Dr. Clover's gaze darted back and forth between the Poneglyph and Reilly, and finally, he sighed softly: "Mr. Reilly, what exactly do you want from Ohara? Just say it!"
Getting to the point, Lei Luo's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Doctor, join the Beasts Pirates. I know the whereabouts of the four Road Poneglyphs. Let's go to the final island together."
Dr. Clover spread his hands and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Leylo, although I am very tempted, I really can't join the Beasts Pirates, nor can I go to that so-called final island together."
"Hmm?" Lei Luo's eyes showed displeasure.
You're being ungrateful, aren't you?
In other words, Wano Country has already been enslaved by him, and he's only speaking so kindly to this old man because he's in a good mood.
Otherwise, I could just come in and tie the old man up and take him back, since I know how to hypnotize him anyway.
Noticing the displeasure in Lei Luo's eyes, Dr. Clover gave a wry smile and explained, "I hold a very important position among historians. Basically, no one doesn't recognize me. Even if I disappeared for a few days, let alone on your pirate ship, the World Government would be on high alert. I can't let Ohara be harmed."
It sounds nice, but he was secretly researching it himself, and in the end, he still caused O'Hara's death.
Lei Luo lost his patience, stood up and picked up Dr. Clover: "Whether you go or not is not up to you."
Dr. Clover, a highly respected scholar, was suddenly being grabbed like a chick and struggled wildly.
Olvia reacted and lunged at Leilo, yelling, "You bastard, let go of Dr. Clover!"
Stussy swiftly grabbed Olvia, pinning her hands behind her back, and said with a grin, "Don't move!"
It may be delicious, but it depends on what you compare it to.
For a scholar like Olvia, she could easily tidy herself up.
Dr. Clover shouted anxiously as he watched Lei Luo walk away step by step.
"Slow down, slow down!"
"I certainly can't go, but Olvia can go instead!"
Leilo stopped in his tracks, pointed at Olvia who was being held captive by Stussy, and a disdainful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Reilly's contemptuous attitude wounded Olvia's dignity as a scholar, and she glared at him angrily: "You bastard, who do you think you are?!"
Dr. Clover felt it was improper for him to be carried like this, and his voice was full of pleading:
"Mr. Lei Luo, would you please put me down first?"
Chapter 43 From today onwards, we are the historians.
Lei Luo released his grip, and Dr. Clover landed awkwardly.
"Cough-cough-"
Clearing his throat twice to cover his embarrassment, Dr. Clover assured him, "Mr. Lei Luo, rest assured, Olvia has no problem deciphering ancient texts. She has passed the exams and is a genuine historian."
Leilo gave a thumbs-up to Olvia, who was being held captive by Stussy: "Are you sure? She didn't even know the Road Poneglyphs just now."
"That's because Dr. Clover hasn't allowed me to participate in the study of the Poneglyphs yet," Olvia retorted indignantly.
That damned pirate looked down on her from the very beginning.
Dr. Clover picked up the thread and added, "Studying the Poneglyphs touches on a taboo of the World Government. Olvia has only recently become a historian and is still young, so I haven't allowed her to study them with me yet."
"I see."
Reilly gestured to Stussy to release Olvia, then pointed to the Poneglyph: "I'll let you board the ship if you translate this Poneglyph."
The recruitment process for the first mate was quite strict; Olvia had to pass an exam to join.
Otherwise, if she's only half-baked, I'll have to make another trip.
Olvia rubbed her hands, which were a little sore from Stussy's massage, and said haughtily, "Who said I wanted to join your pirate crew?"
Lei Luo scoffed: "If you can't do it, just say so. There's nothing shameful about academic fraud."
"I committed academic fraud?" Olvia laughed in anger.
Lei Luo spread his hands: "It's obvious."
Olvia, who had only recently become a historian, couldn't stand Reilly's provocation and angrily went to the historical text to study it carefully.
Dr. Clover, too, couldn't resist the allure of the Poneglyphs and approached them.
Lei Luo didn't disturb them. Stusi moved a recliner out of the doorway space for Lei Luo to lie down, and then took out a tea set to brew tea.
As time went on, Dr. Clover and Olvia had sifted through the entire historical text.
The two men's expressions changed drastically, unable to hide their shock.
This historical text records an extraordinary event.
Seeing their expressions, Lei Luo knew they must have finished reading, and said with a smile, "Finished reading? Now, please translate it, Miss Olvia."
Olvia turned to Dr. Clover for help, wondering whether she should tell a pirate about the ancient weapon.
Dr. Clover hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Speak, Olvia. History shouldn't be hidden away; it should be known to the public. Besides..."
After a pause, Dr. Clover looked at Raylo with a half-smile and said confidently, "Mr. Raylo should know what this historical text records."
Lei Luo raised an eyebrow. "The Doctor's ability to read people is quite impressive."
To be precise, Lei Luo didn't even try to hide it; there was no need for a group of defenseless scholars.
Dr. Clover stroked his beard: "Just a few years older."
Damn, he got out of breath when I said he was fat.
With Dr. Clover's permission, Olvia began to recount the events recorded in the Poneglyphs: "These describe ancient weapons..."
After Olvia finished translating, Raylo clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad. From today onwards, Miss Olvia will be the historian of our Beasts Pirates."
Olvia crossed her arms, a look of pride on her face: "I never agreed to get on your ship, did I?!"
The proud white-haired Robin.
Lei Luo curled the corners of his lips and teased, "A woman who says one thing but means another. She says no but her body says yes. If you don't want to get on my ship, why are you translating the Poneglyphs?"
Olvia: "..."
Lei Luo waved his hand: "Go say goodbye to your family."
"Hey, I already said I didn't agree to get on the ship," Olvia tried to make her voice heard again.
Leilo, however, disregarded her thoughts, stepped forward, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and leaped out of the window, with Stussy close behind.
Being able to read ancient texts is enough; as for whether one can be loyal to him...
Heh, it's fine if Olvia is obedient, but if she really has some ulterior motives, then inject her with some poison.
Look how well-behaved Stuart is now.
As for sending Olvia to say goodbye to her family, the main reason was to search around Olvia's neighborhood.
Let's see if the Flower Fruit is on Ohara Island at this time.
Leilo doesn't know if Olvia's parents are still alive. He only knows that she has a younger brother, whom Robin later entrusted to his care.
It's just that it's been poorly cared for.
Lei Luo asked, "Where do you live?"
Carried by Lei Luo in such an indecent position, Olvia blushed deeply: "Over there... and... put me down first."
This guy is a true pirate; he even said he didn't agree, so why would he just kidnap someone?
Although I was actually willing to join.
I studied history and ancient scripts so that I could decipher the blank hundred years of history.
This is the dream I've pursued my whole life.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, how could we possibly give it up?
Lei Luo smiled smugly: "No need to trouble yourself, I'll take you there."
Olvia resisted to no avail and was carried by Lelo to her front door.
After putting it down, Lei Luo began searching for the Flower-Flower Fruit, following the places Robin frequently visited in the anime.
Olvia straightened her hair and clothes, took a deep breath to regain her composure, and pushed open the door...
Robin was ostracized during his childhood, and he only went to a few places. Lei Luo quickly searched all of them.
"What great luck! We actually found it." Lei Luo smiled as he held a fruit that looked like a pink flower in his hand.
If Olvia were to eat it, she would be exactly the same as Robin, except for the difference in hair color.
Lei Luo placed the Flower Fruit into Stussy's Doorway Space and returned to Olvia's house.
Olvia was waiting in front of her house with a bag on her back and her white hair tied in a high ponytail.
She looks youthful and beautiful.
Tsk tsk tsk, it seems the siblings' relationship isn't that great, they've already said goodbye so quickly.
Lei Luo waved his hand: "Let's go!"
"Okay." Olvia ran quickly towards Leilo.
We're about to set sail, and Olvia is brimming with excitement. "Where's our ship?"
Lei Luo: "No boat."
Olvia: "Huh?"
Olvia: "So how did you get here, and how are we going to get out to sea?"
Lei Luo: "Just fly there."
Olvia: "Huh?"
With Stusi and Olvia in his left and right arms respectively, Leilo flew into the clouds.
