Chapter 162

The man sitting under the tree was very focused and tense. The veins on his forehead were swollen and sweat broke out, but he continued to sit intently and do something. After sitting in this position for more than an hour, many petals of a blossoming tree had already gathered on his head and shoulders, but he did not pay attention to it and continued ...

At some point, he suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled:

- Huu, every time it's more and more difficult ... - leaning back on a tree trunk, the man brushed off the flower petals and looked at a couple of tombstones standing nearby.

This man had a slightly unusual appearance. He was taller than ordinary people, his height was close to three meters, but at the same time, he was very thin and narrow in the shoulders. His skin was very light, a delicate cream in color, and his hair, which fell to the waist, was golden in color, shimmering brightly in the sun.

Of his clothes, he wore only short shorts and wooden sandals. Because of this, he looked even thinner and taller. What made the man unusual was his bright red eyes and one large black wing on his back. This wing was no less than the size of a man and looked like a bird's wing, with many neatly arranged feathers. A little to the left, in the place where the second wing should be, there was a large and noticeable scar on the man's back. One could understand that once he had a pair of wings, but for some reason he lost one.

Looking at both clean and even tombstones, he said with a smile:

- It looks like the old world is changing, a really interesting candidate has appeared. Although ... '' exhaling a long breath, the man shook his head:

- His strength is great, but Ima's strength is still higher. In the worst period, he can use weapons and unleash this "Great Purge" again. I suppose this D. More will not sit aside and they will be destined to collide. Unfortunately, the will of this wingless bastard is too strong, I cannot see the future far enough ... - sighing again, and looking at the luminous sphere in the sky, the man muttered:

- And what now? Two people have appeared in the world who are capable of hearing, but one of them is still too weak, and the second is somewhat similar to D. Shebek, but softer, especially towards his own nakam. I guess he's not so bad when it comes to a better and free world old man ...

Looking again at the ancient tombstone, the man nodded resolutely and said:

- Then it's decided, I'll lead him to the last poneglyph, and then, come what may. If he finds sacred ground, then it is up to him to decide what to do next. The Nefertari still hold Pluto, even Im unable to find it. As for the other two, one has already been born and has awakened power. Well, Uranus ... - grinning wryly, the man added: - I suppose everything will not be so simple, especially after the last incident. Even I am not his assistant in this matter. Well, if he is D., then he should cope, probably ... - unsurely scratching his head, the man muttered:

- Of course, it all depends on whether he can and whether he wants to at all ... My will to observe is weakening, after the valley of the gods and the shown power of Shebek, I spent a lot of energy to save the poneglyph. - rising, the man took a step and, in an instant, having overcome a hundred meters, he was at the foot of a large mountain. She was the only one on this small piece of land. In this mountain, there was a large cave, into which the man immediately entered.

As soon as he took a step inside, the entire space immediately lit up, and also, two objects stored there lit up.

The first was a large red stone, which was definitely the legendary poneglyph pointer. But unlike the others, it was slightly cracked. This was not surprising, since the fact that it still exists is a huge stroke of luck, for which a huge price has been paid. If not for Gol D. Roger at one time, then the poneglyph would have completely disappeared in the Valley of the Gods. Someone thinks that the material from which poneglyphs are made cannot be destroyed, but in fact it is not. Everything in this world can be destroyed, even the pointer poneglyphs made of a special material that can be distinguished from ordinary poneglyphs. Terribly strong people are capable of this, but so are the most terrible cataclysms, one of which happened that day ...

Remembering the past with a sad smirk, the man walked over to the poneglyph and touched it. Several events came to his mind, to which he only smiled. He did not regret what happened, even if he was seriously injured, because that day was very important for this world ...

Joy flashed across the man's face as he approached the second important object in the cave.

- How long have I not held you, my friend ... My, Silver Ax! - laughing happily, the man tore from the ground a huge Labrys, which was even longer than the man in length. Its one handle was as thick as a log, but the man held it in his hands like an ordinary hatchet and swung it lightly, squinting at the sharpness of the blade:

- Not bad, unlike my old bones, you are still young buddy.

The double-sided ax blade was a meter wide and more than a meter long. Compared to this Labrys, the man was not as big as before. It is thanks to this legendary ax that he received his nickname in the past - the Silver Ax.

- Sha-ha-ha-ha! I have not been published for a couple of decades! It's our time buddy! - the loud laughter of the legendary pirate was reflected throughout the island, from which even the ocean in the area trembled. The sea kings sailing nearby fled in terror and began to seek shelter.

At the same time, unaware of the future, Mor and the team calmly floated on the waves. Part of the sails was raised, which caused the ship to move very slowly.

In the crow's nest, Zoro slept quietly, hugging his katanas. On the upper deck, Nami watered flowers and tangerines, while Aliya sheared the bushes of her medicinal plants.

Sanji was in the kitchen whistling as he cooked dinner for the entire team. It was already getting dark, everyone was probably hungry.

Charlie sat on the bow of the ship and played the guitar, looking with a smile at the fish splashing in the sea, and not far from him, Sargon was reading a book and stroking the purring cat, which was warming up on his chest.

A little to the left, far from everyone, two pirates, naked to the waist, in hats were fishing. They laughed while discussing different life stories. North talked about women's charms, and More nodded contentedly and, drinking rum, talked about his adventures.

Robin, on the other hand, was sitting high on the mast and with a smile watched the life of her new nakamas. She could not even think that she would find her place in the world, together with these people. Turning her gaze to the brightly laughing man, she herself involuntarily smiled ...

It was one of the most ordinary days for this pirate crew. Now they were one, and there was a sense of fullness and calmness. As if everyone who was needed finally got together on this ship, and sailed to new adventures ...
