One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me

Chapter 406 The Last Treasure

Chapter 406 The Last Treasure

Just as mentioned before.

The center of the Marine Mega Circulation is a forbidden zone on the ocean.

Even the powerful deep-sea sea kings cannot set foot in that area.

But now, this massive submarine circulation has stopped flowing.

Before Huroy lay that enormous thing.

It was a city—a city that had long since sunk into the deep sea.

Surprisingly, despite the city having been submerged in the sea for countless years and being subjected to the immense impact of the terrifying ocean currents, the city has survived.

However, its form seems to have remained intact.

"Buzz!"

Roy's figure appeared in the city in an instant.

He could see the reliefs on the ancient city buildings—the reliefs depicted figures with wings and flames burning behind them.

"As expected... this is the former royal city of the Lunaria tribe—Lunariar."

Luo Yi thought to himself.

After the giants joined the twelve constellations, Saul also handed over many documents that he had rescued from the Library of the Owls before the collapse of Elbaf to Roy.

This includes records from before the establishment of a world government.

And Lunaria is one of those records.

This city once belonged to the original inhabitants of the Red Line, the Lunaria race, a race of gods.

Of course, Roy now knows very well that this race, which is theoretically able to adapt to any environment, is the Moon People who came from the moon in space in the past.

These Moon People possessed extremely advanced technology, but after the war instigated by Nika in the First World, they experienced a break in their power and were subsequently defeated by Im with the help of Davy Jones.

Their royal city, Lunaria, also disappeared without a trace after that battle.

Now, the answer is very clear: the city did not disappear, but was sunk by Im into the depths of the sea and hidden in the Marin Giant Circulation.

"So it seems that guy really is here."

Muttering softly, Roy slowly took something out of his pocket.

That was none other than the compass that Loki had given him in Elbaf.

At this moment, the compass needle shook violently like never before, then the shaking stabilized and pointed in one direction.

Roy looked up and saw that the direction was a tall tower in the center of the city.

"Over there?"

Roy took a slow step.

A few moments later, he arrived at the platform at the top of the tower.

Then he saw two things on the top of the tower.

It was a coffin and a box.

Without exception, they were all enveloped in intense abyssal power, giving them a pitch-black appearance.

But it is quite obvious.

For Roy now, dealing with this level of abyssal power is already a piece of cake.

He gently raised his hand and waved it.

As starlight fell, the dark power of the abyss was instantly erased.

Then, the interior of the coffin was revealed first.

Along with that, the person inside the coffin was naturally revealed.

With his familiar blue and white messy hair, even with his eyes tightly closed, his expression still seemed to carry a wild and arrogant air.

The direction the compass in Roy's hand pointed further confirmed his identity as Locke D. Gibbek, who had been missing at sea for many years.

But the most crucial thing is...

The man inside the coffin had his eyes tightly closed.

But his body was clearly still breathing and still moving.

It was as if he were still alive.

What is most striking is his left chest.

There was a square hole there.

In the void, his heart... had long since vanished.

But Roy showed no surprise at all as he watched this scene.

"Just as you guessed, Rocks."

He murmured to himself, then gently raised his hand and took a box out of the bundle on his chest.

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

A heartbeat could be heard continuously coming from inside the box.

Roy opened the box, and inside it was a constantly beating heart.

As Roy looked at the heart, he couldn't help but recall the plan that the great pirate Rocks had told him after he returned to God Valley.

"I'll go get what you want, and then... I'll go to Mary Geoise and die there."

At that time, Rocks casually decided his own fate.

"What's the reason?"

Roy, who already knew about this, frowned and asked at that time.

"I've staked everything on you, so naturally I'll help you obtain all the crucial items needed to fight the Abyss."

"Lox said seriously."

"You've already obtained the Seed of Heaven and the Seed of Sea. I'll retrieve the Seed of Earth later, and I'll also get the gold from the Sky Island you need—but that's still not enough."

"In Mary Geoise, there is another crucial thing... something that has been hidden in the Abyss for eight hundred years, and He does not want anyone to discover it."

"Can you find it?"

Upon hearing this, Roy became somewhat curious.

"I can't find it either, but I can help you find it."

At this point, Locke grinned and pointed to himself: "I myself am that signpost."

"6

【Surgery Fruit: Immortality Surgery】

That was the choice he made.

Yes—Loy knew very well what Rox had done.

After fulfilling his promise, he did indeed go to Mary Geoise to die.

Or to be more precise, ever since the Valley of the Gods, his soul has been constantly eroded by the power of the abyss, and he was already close to death.

But before he died, he did two things.

First, he used the most precious ability of the Op-Op Fruit: the Immortality Surgery.

The object on which he uses this ability is himself.

"After this surgery, my soul will still dissipate, but my body will not die, nor will it age or die naturally. Instead, it will possess extreme vitality and regenerative ability, and cannot be destroyed by normal means."

"The only thing that can destroy my body is the abyss," only "Im" himself.

"but..."

"According to the contract that Davy Jones signed with Im back then—Im could not personally harm the bodies of Davy's descendants, nor could he take their lives with his own hands."

Therefore, at the end of his life, Lox presented the omnipotent god with a difficult problem.

Im dared not, and could not, dispose of Lox's body at will.

He could only hide Rocks' body in a completely safe place.

And it is obvious...

"That place must be where the abyss hides that treasure."

Now, Roy has followed Rox's guidance, using him as a beacon, and has arrived here.

He has found the treasure that Rocks had reserved for him.

What he needs to do next is simple.

That is... to use the key to open that treasure.

And that key is the heart in his hand.

This is Lox's own...heart.

"I'm leaving everything to you, my...partner."

As Roy reminisced, he looked at the smiling dead Rocks in the coffin, and it seemed as if the sound of his voice was still echoing in his ears.

Don't worry.

He spoke softly.

Then, without hesitation... he clenched his fist!

"partner."
