One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 208, Second Piece of Red Historical Text

In the Whale Forest of Zou Island.

Robin finally saw the red historical text she had been longing for and immediately began to make rubbings and translate it.

Luo showed off a little by releasing all the other historical texts.

"You even have a piece of red historical text!!"

"There are still so many historical texts!"

Vegapunk and Pedro both shouted.

It's worth noting that Vegapunk studied the historical texts and rubbings collected by Ohara, and there wasn't a single piece of the red historical text.

Pedro paid the price of his best friend's life and 50 years of his own lifespan in order to steal the Red Historical Text from Charlotte Linlin.

"Keep it low-key! Keep it low-key! They were just collected casually, nothing to mention!"

Luo Ji grinned, looking completely unconcerned.

This made Vegapunk and Pedro's lips twitch slightly; this was such a charade!

"From now on, anyone who wants to become the Pirate King will have to get past me!"

Luo Ji laughed and took the red historical text from Zou Island into his possession, and Pedro didn't dare to have any objections.

After some conversation, Pedro discovered that the bounty poster for Luo Ji was actually written as Gol D. Luo Ji.

Isn't that the same surname as his idol, the Pirate King Roger?

Back when the Roger Pirates landed on Zou Island, Pedro wanted to join them.

But he was too young at the time, and Roger declined his offer.

Roger told Pedro to chase the next wave of the era, that everyone has their own chance to shine.

Now that Pedro has seen how many historical texts Luo Ji has collected, he feels that Luo Ji is the era he is looking for.

If he weren't already running out of time, he would have wanted to join the Luo Ji World Group right away.

But he was also afraid that Luo Ji would reject him, a short-lived man who had lost 50 years of his lifespan.

This left Pedro in a very conflicted state of mind; he really wanted to speak up, but he was also afraid of being rejected.

"Luo Ji! The climate in this Whale Forest is quite nice! Moreover, this giant Whale Tree can be used to create a smaller version of the Omniscient Tree. He really likes this place."

After some exploration and research, Vegapunk discovered that this whale forest could meet the conditions for him to rebuild his laboratory and the island cloud environment.

"Then let's requisition this forest. Anyway, the cat viper has been driven away, and this territory will be the base camp of our Luo Ji World Group."

"Moreover, using this forest, which the Mink tribe considers sacred, will not affect the Mink tribe's normal life."

Luo Ji immediately decided to establish Vegapunk's laboratory and Luo Ji World Group's second headquarters in the Whale Forest.

"it is good!"

Vegapunk shouted excitedly.

Subsequently, under Vegapunk's rapid planning...

In his scroll world, Luo Ji brought out all the research institutes and laboratories from Egghead Island!

Pedro and his fellow knights watched in disbelief as Luo Ji moved out one enormous building after another.

These are all existing technological buildings.

This wouldn't even require the conscription of a large number of fur-bearers to build the new city.

Whale Forest is a sacred and forbidden area for the Mink Tribe. Even though the Cat Viper has been driven out, many Mink Tribe members still dare not set foot in this forest.

However, many mink saw some tall and strange buildings suddenly appear on the outskirts, which attracted many mink to come and see what was going on.

Even Carrot, the new king who was showing Yamato and Bonnie around, was attracted by these high-tech buildings and wanted to see them.

···

"This time I'm determined to create my clone!"

"Also, this head is in the way! It needs to be cut off quickly!"

Vegapunk unceremoniously directed powerful figures like Luo Ji, Yi Xiao, and Da Xiong to quickly restore his research institute to the approximate layout of Egghead Island.

The entire Luoji World Group entered a busy construction phase.

Now that we've secured the services of Vegapunk, the world's greatest scientist, we must meet the demand for such talent.

Moreover, since Luo Ji has taken the initiative to do the work, the others should be even less likely to slack off.

···

After the elephant god left step by step, on that original sea area...

A figure dragged two men back to his small boat.

"Thank you, Kawamatsu!"

"How did you get here?!"

Inuarashi spat out seawater as he quickly examined his withered left leg. Fortunately, it wasn't completely necrotic and could still recover.

A figure was performing CPR on the shrunken cat viper.

Kawamatsu finally breathed a sigh of relief as the cat viper gushed out seawater.

"I came here specifically to find you, so why were you attacked?"

Kawamatsu looked at his two good friends with a somewhat conflicted expression. He had originally been following Hiyori's instructions to seek help from Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and the Mink Tribe.

But now these two good brothers don't seem to be doing so well either.

They appeared to have been driven off Zou Island.

In order to find Zou Island, Kawamatsu went through many hardships and even improved his navigation skills.

But this is the answer I got?

"Alas! You're a little too late. Zou Island has already been taken over by a group of guys who call themselves the Luo Ji World Group, and even Zunesha has become Luo Ji's partner."

Inuarashi sighed deeply. They ultimately couldn't wait for the return of Momonosuke and Kin'emon 20 years later.

They failed Lord Oden's instructions.

"Luo Ji!?"

He Song shouted, "Isn't this the 'benefactor' who helped them liberate the sea stone mine and defeat the black charcoal snake?"

"You know him?"

Inuarashi quickly asked, "If Kawamatsu is Luo Ji's friend, maybe he will have a chance to return to Zou Island."

At this moment, the shriveled cat viper slowly awoke.

Kawamatsu helped Nekomamushi up and began to recount Luo Ji's rampage in Wano Country and the Beast Pirates, as well as the Kozuki family's "Seven-Day Restoration."

"Has Kurozumi Orochi been defeated and captured by Luo Ji?"

"Kaido of the Beasts has put bounties on Luo Ji and Yamato?"

"Lord Sukiyaki isn't dead?"

"Has Miss Hiyori launched a war of restoration?"

···

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi both yelled, as if they had missed a series of battles.

But this timing seems a bit off.

Momonosuke and Kin'emon also did not return.

Instead, the 'dead' Kozuki Sukiyaki reappeared.

"Yes! We succeeded and we failed!"

"After Kaido returned to Wano Country, Hiyori, Denjiro, and I escaped Wano Country to seek outside help."

Ashura Doji and Lord Shimotsuki Yasuie remained in Wano Country, leading the samurai in a guerrilla war against the Beasts Pirates.

"Miss Hiyori sent me to find you, while she and Denjiro went to find the Whitebeard Pirates, to find Izo."

Kawamatsu quickly told Inuarashi and Nekomamushi the general situation, his face full of worry.

It seems he's lost his Mink Tribe reinforcements.

However, Kawamatsu found some comfort in being able to locate Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

"According to what you said, Luo Ji seems to have helped you and can be considered a friend, but from his tone, he seems very dissatisfied with the Kozuki family and even expelled the two of us?"

Inuarashi was a little confused; how could the situation be so complicated?

Luo Ji seems to have helped the Kozuki family in their restoration war, but why does he hate the Kozuki family so much?

Is this reasonable? Is it logical?
