Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Chapter 70: death road

Ever since Rowan landed on the sky island, he has been pondering one thing—

According to records, Shandola, the "Golden Land", was a once glorious city.

Its glorious period, about 800 years ago, was almost parallel to the strong period of the Alabasta Empire!

But what makes Rowan feel strange is that he has never heard the name of the city of Shandola.

It stands to reason that even 800 years ago, gold, a precious metal, was a hard currency between countries. Shandora, which has a huge amount of gold, should not be unknown.

Originally, Rowan didn't care about this, he just thought that the trajectory of history was fanned a little by the butterfly, but now it seems that this is not the case after 800 years.

Shandola still exists, and it still leaves behind the legend of the Golden Land for future generations.

If that's the case, why wasn't Shandora's figure active 800 years ago?

Did you choose to lock the country to avoid war?

Or is there nothing but a large amount of gold, and the military capability is extremely weak?

Or, does it have other purposes than maritime hegemony?

According to Rowan's current information:

About 400 years ago, Appayado had not been sprayed into the sky by the sky current, and it was still a part of Gaya Island.

At that time, the explorer Rolando led his crew to land on the island of Gaya, and found that there lived a group of people who valued battle and honor above all else.

Their fighting power is amazing, and they can even hunt sea kings, but their living environment is quite simple, and their own culture is also very primitive.

Even when infectious diseases spread, they would not choose to heal, but sacrificed living people to the mountain gods to pray for God's protection.

This situation did not gradually improve until Rolando established a deep friendship with the then "Great Warrior" Calgary.

According to the situation at the time, this group of aborigines with a social structure similar to a "tribe" was absolutely unable to build such a magnificent city.

Even if the cultural heritage may be broken due to the war, it will not let a huge civilization decline to this point.

What exactly happened on Shandora?

The historical text that records the information of the ancient weapon "Sea King" is here.

Eight hundred years ago, the world government...

Is it because of the blank hundred years?

Neferutari, what did you find again?

……

The domineering look of the overlord spread, and countless tiny gravels spread in this lost city.

The gravel gathered and became one person after another in traditional Alabatian clothing.

Under Rowan's control, they are like real people, living in Shandora, recreating this golden country eight hundred years ago.

Consciousness spreads in Shandora, and Rowan tries to use exhaustive elimination method to find the clues hidden in Shandora.

In the market, the vendors are hawking, it is reasonable;

In the square, children are frolic, reasonable;

On the street, crowds come and go, reasonable;

In the basement of a tall tower, there is a staircase leading to a deeper level...

Rowan narrowed his eyes.

He repeated the deduction hundreds of times, but he could never find a "reasonable" use of the staircase.

Therefore, it is not reasonable.

……

Gan Foer and others arrived at the right time.

"What is buried under Shandora?"

"Or, is Shandora built on 'what'?"

Facing Rowan's question, Gan Foer also fell into confusion for a while.

For Sky Islanders, the clay "Bath" is an extremely precious and sacred thing, and Apayado is a sacred and inviolable "Island of Gods".

Ordinary sky island residents are not qualified to set foot on Appayado, and the previous "gods" who lived on it will not be idle and try to dig this island.

As a result, Gan Foer was unable to answer Rowan's question.

Seeing this, Crocodile, who was beside him, seemed somewhat incomprehensible.

"Why is it so troublesome, you can't show your arrogance and domineering?"

Rowan pointed in a direction, where the square in front of the tower was located.

"You stand over there and try."

Crocodile immediately turned into a sandstorm and came to the place where Rowan pointed.

With a cigar in his mouth, he shrugged, "I'm here, so what..."

Before he could finish speaking, Crocodile's expression suddenly froze.

With an unbelievable face, he looked down and stomped his feet.

After a while, a gloomy smile appeared on Crocodile's face.

"Hahaha, it's really interesting."

Several curious people then rushed over, including Gan Fowler, as well as Hubble, Dalton, Bell and others.

But the reactions of these people were different.

Gan Fowler and Hubb were at a loss, not knowing what Crocodile was talking about, while Dalton and Hubb had strange expressions on their faces.

The two of them suddenly had a slight...powerlessness?

Yes, it was like when half of the body was immersed in sea water. Although it wouldn't drown, it was a little bit weak.

Dalton frowned and asked in confusion, "What's here?"

Crocodile took a cigar and answered his question.

"Hailou Stone."

Crocodile stomped, "It's just below us, and there's a huge amount of sea towers!"

After he finished speaking, he lit some cigarette ashes. He thought he would wait for the exclamations of everyone, but when he turned around, he found that they were all looking at him, waiting for the next chapter.

Crocodile: "..."

Damn trouble, these guys in the first half of the great route really don't have any knowledge!

He tried to explain, but after understanding what Hailou Stone was and how scarce that stone was, there were only a few exclamations left in his initial exclamations.

Crocodile: "..."

Not happy.

……

Rowan also led a large army here.

Gan Fauer stepped forward, intending to learn more about the Four Seas Alliance, but Rowan shook his head.

"Old knight, wait a moment."

Gan Fuer clearly saw that the Qinghai powerhouse with a strong sense of oppression ~www.readwn.com~ had a youth-like excitement in his eyes at this moment.

Rowan stepped into the tower, and then came to the basement.

The crowd followed.

Most of the people were only amazed at the ruins of Shandora, but the devil fruit people in the team felt a sense of powerlessness.

Crocodile didn't like this passive feeling.

According to the sense of territory, Rowan quickly knew a secret door in the basement.

Unnecessary information leakage was inevitable, and all the idlers and others retreated, leaving only the elite combat power of the Four Seas Alliance and Gan Fuer himself.

"I'll go."

Dalton was about to start, but Rowan reached out to stop him.

It's about Hailoushi, and it's too dangerous for a devil fruit person to open the door at will.

A dark and gravel forbidden army slowly took shape, but what he was holding in his hand was not the usual long spear, but a sharp blade wrapped in a domineering armed color.

Swish!

In an instant, a sharp blade slid past, chopping the bricks that blocked the secret door into countless pieces.

After that, there is a dark passage.

"Black" for two reasons.

First, because the underground itself has no light.

Second, it is because the material of the corridor itself is black.

——The black of Hailou stone.

……

"A sea floor stone corridor?"

Crocodile squinted his eyes. He never thought that under the massive amount of gold, there were still such a large number of sea towers!

Jian Wen Se was domineering and went deep into it, but he couldn't probe the depths of this corridor at all.

That's a way--
