Chapter 265 Inscription

"Didn't they fight before going to Marinford? Didn't he have enough?" someone asked doubtfully.

"Look, there are two people on his back!" a sharp-eyed crew member shouted.

"It's the powerful unknown pirate who stopped Marinford from fighting!"

"Oh my god! The Four Emperors Kaido has become his mount!"

Everyone was talking about it, and the entire deck fell into chaos and shock. Shanks stood up and looked at Jiang Han on Kaido's back with a serious expression, with a lot of thoughts in his mind...

Some crew members who had not read the latest newspapers looked at Kaido and Jiang Han who suddenly appeared, and they were alert as if they were facing a great enemy. Their eyes were wide open, full of astonishment and fear, as if they had seen a demon from hell. The originally calm sea surface seemed to be frozen by the sudden tense atmosphere, and even the slight sound of the waves seemed particularly clear and frightening.

The crew members reacted differently. Some of them unconsciously tightened their weapons, and the handles of their knives or guns slipped slightly in their nervous and sweaty hands. They clenched their teeth and puffed their cheeks, as if to give themselves courage. Some of them involuntarily stepped back a few steps, and the deck under their feet made a "creaking" sound. Their bodies trembled slightly, and their faces were as pale as paper. Others opened their mouths slightly, but they could not make a sound because of excessive shock, and just stared blankly at Kaido and Jiang Han in the sky.

"What's going on? Isn't that Kaido? How did he appear here?" A young crew member asked in a trembling voice, his voice full of anxiety and confusion. He didn't even blink, fearing that if he blinked, the horrific scene in front of him would become even worse.

"And that guy doesn't look easy to deal with either. Is he here to cause trouble for us?" Another crew member swallowed and said with difficulty. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his voice sounded particularly hoarse.

At this time, the officers and above seemed to have expected Jiang Han to come back, and their eyes fell on Shanks, waiting for his instructions. Although their expressions were also a little solemn, they were more calm and composed than those ordinary crew members. They knew that at this critical moment, they had to rely on the captain's decision to deal with the crisis at hand.

"I'm here to get an inscription." Jiang Han stood on Kaido's back, his expression calm, his tone as if he was just stating something very ordinary. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone, with an unquestionable majesty.

"No problem." Shanks nodded directly in agreement. There was no hesitation or hesitation on his face, as if he had expected this to happen. His eyes were firm and deep, making it impossible to tell what he was really thinking.

Afterwards, Shanks turned back to the cabin. His steps were steady and powerful, and he did not seem flustered at all because of Jiang Han's arrival. After entering the cabin, Shanks skillfully searched through a pile of items. The cabin was filled with the smell of old wood and sea water, and the light was a little dim. Shanks' figure shuttled through the dim light, his eyes focused and sharp, not missing any corner that might hide the stone tablet.

Finally, Shanks found the precious stone tablet in a corner. He gently brushed off the dust on it, as if he was treating an extremely precious treasure. Shanks walked out of the cabin again, threw the stone tablet to Jiang Han, and said, "Why don't you come down and sit for a while? Have something to eat before you leave?" There was a hint of sincerity and friendliness in his tone, as if he was not facing an enemy who came to take important items, but an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

Jiang Han smiled: "Maybe later." His smile was free and confident. It was like the sun shining through the clouds, bringing a little relief to the tense atmosphere.

"Shanks, you are better than me in this respect. You can bend and stretch, and you can see the situation clearly." Kaido sighed inexplicably. There was a hint of complex emotions in his eyes, with admiration for Shanks' decisiveness and his own unwillingness deep in his heart. Kaido recalled his past experiences, those battles where he would rather die than surrender, and those moments when he refused to compromise because of pride. He couldn't help but reflect on whether he could make a decision as decisively as Shanks if it were him.

He originally thought that Shanks would fight to the death, so that he could watch the other party being ravaged. Unexpectedly, the other party handed over the historical inscription without hesitation. Kaido couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Shanks' choice was indeed wise in the face of this rapidly changing situation. He understood that sometimes, temporary concessions do not mean cowardice, but for longer-term goals and interests.

"There is only one historical inscription left." Nico Robin took a deep breath, her voice full of anticipation and nervousness. Her eyes became unusually firm, as if she had seen the final goal before her eyes. Her heartbeat quickened, and the blood flowed rapidly in her veins, and every heartbeat seemed to cheer for the upcoming victory.

Soon she would be able to decipher the inscription and find the legendary ultimate island of Raftel! Thinking of this, Nico Robin's body trembled slightly with excitement, and her fullness trembled. Various legends and mysterious scenes about Raftel kept emerging in her mind. The unknown treasures and endless secrets were all attracting her to keep moving forward.

"I am also very curious about where the fourth tablet is. Can you explain it to me?" Shanks asked, his eyes full of curiosity and exploration. Shanks knew that these four tablets were the key to unlocking the secret of the Ultimate Island, and he was always curious about the whereabouts of the last tablet.

Kaido's eyes also showed a little curiosity. The four tablets pointing to the final island were something they were eager to obtain, but they only knew of three tablets, and each was controlled by a person of the same strength. As for the fourth tablet, they had never known its whereabouts. For Kaido, each tablet represented power, wealth, and endless secrets, and he had been pursuing these.

"Zou Island." Jiang Han glanced at Shanks and uttered three calm syllables. His voice was like a calm lake, without the slightest ripple. However, these two simple words set off a storm in everyone's heart.

"The island on the back of the giant elephant?" Shanks murmured, as if he had some impression of Zou Island. Various legends and information about Zou Island quickly emerged in his mind. It was a mysterious and ancient place, full of unknowns and dangers.

Amid the roar of the dragon, Kaido carried Jiang Han and Nico Robin away. The huge figure drew an arc in the sky and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. The strong wind brought by Kaido's flight made the clothes of everyone on the boat rustle.

"The Ultimate Island, I'm also very curious, I wonder if I can have the chance to visit the island." Hawkeye Mihawk drew out the black sword behind him and slashed towards the sea. A sharp sword energy passed through the sea, splashing water. His eyes were full of yearning and challenge, and he sighed. As the world's top swordsman, he was always eager for unknown adventures and challenges.

"Captain, he actually gave the historical inscription to that guy!" A crew member couldn't help but shout, his face full of confusion and anger. He couldn't understand why the captain gave up this precious inscription so easily.

"Does he have such a big face?" Another crew member also complained, his tone full of resentment. He clenched his fists, seeming to be very dissatisfied with this result.

"Didn't the Navy and Whitebeard give him face? Even Kaido the Beast is his mount." An experienced old sailor said, his eyes deep, as if thinking about the deeper reasons behind this. He has experienced many ups and downs and knows that on this sea, strength and situation often determine everything.

"Is this the world of the strong? We simply cannot understand it." A young crew member lowered his head in frustration. He was originally full of longing and fantasy for the future, but the reality before him made him feel extremely lost and confused.

"Maybe, but no matter what, we have to keep going." A crew member who looked like a cadre encouraged everyone. He knew that although they encountered setbacks this time, they could not give up.

"That's right, we can't lose confidence because of this setback." Another cadre also echoed. His eyes were firm and full of expectations for the future.

The crew looked at Jiang Han's receding back, their faces filled with shock. They stood on the deck for a long time without leaving, their hearts filled with confusion and uncertainty about the future. The sea breeze blew across their faces, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not cool down the waves in their hearts.

At this time, in the distant naval headquarters, Marinford.

The atmosphere in the Marshal's office was solemn and depressing. Sengoku, Garp, Kizaru, and Aokiji sat around a huge conference table, each with a serious expression on their face.

"The appearance of Jiang Han has completely disrupted the balance on the sea." Zhan Guo frowned, his voice low and worried. He held the newspaper about Kaido's defeat in his hand, his eyes full of worry about the future situation.

While eating donuts, Karp said, "This kid's strength is unfathomable. I don't know where he came from." Although his tone was relaxed, there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Huang Yuan lazily leaned back in his chair and said, "But what exactly is his purpose? Is it just for those historical inscriptions?" Aokiji crossed his arms and thought for a moment before saying, "No matter what, our navy cannot sit idly by. We must strengthen monitoring of the sea to prevent greater unrest."

Zhan Guo nodded and said, "Send more warships immediately and keep a close eye on the movements of all forces. If there are any abnormalities, take immediate action."

At the headquarters of the World Government.

The Five Elder Stars gathered in the mysterious hall, their faces gloomy and their eyes fixed on the newspapers in their hands.

“We must find out the whereabouts and purpose of Jiang Han as soon as possible.” said one of the Five Elders.

"His appearance poses a threat to our rule," added another of the Five Elders.

"Notify the CP organization and make every effort to investigate Jiang Han's background and all relevant information about him." The five elder stars in the lead gave the order.

On the Cake Island in the New World.

"Brother Katakuri, the situation is becoming more and more complicated." Smoothie said worriedly.

Katakuri looked into the distance and said slowly: "We must be prepared for everything."

And on the Moby Dick in the Grand Line.

"Luffy, don't be impulsive. The current situation is not simple." Ace looked at Luffy worriedly.

Luffy smiled nonchalantly and said, "What are you afraid of? I will definitely become the Pirate King!"

At the same time, Jiang Han and Nico Robin were on their way to Zou Island.

"Do you think we can find the last inscription successfully?" asked Nico Robin.

Jiang Han looked ahead firmly and said, "I definitely can."

Little did they know that a huge crisis was waiting for them on Zou Island...

Zou Island, this mysterious island is hidden in the vast ocean. The islanders live in isolation, guarding ancient secrets and traditions.

When Kaido and Jiang Han appeared above the island, the residents on the island looked up in horror.

"It's an enemy invasion!" someone shouted.

In an instant, the entire island was on alert.

Jiang Han and Nico Robin jumped off Kaido's back and began to look for clues to the last inscription on the island. However, the residents of the island were unwilling to cooperate and were full of hostility towards these outsiders.

"You won't find anything here!" a brave resident stepped forward and shouted.

Jiang Han patiently explained: "We are just looking for historical inscriptions, we have no ill intentions."

But the residents did not believe him, and a fierce conflict was about to break out.

Just then, an elder from the island appeared.

"Wait, let them finish what they say first." Although the elder's voice was old, it was full of majesty.

Jiang Han explained his purpose to the elder and promised not to cause any harm to the island.

The elder pondered for a moment and said, "The historical inscriptions are the secrets we guard, but if you really want to explore the truth, I can give you some hints."

With the help of the elders, Jiang Han and Nico Robin finally found the clue to the last inscription. However, just as they were about to leave the island, a group of mysterious pirates appeared.

"Leave the inscription behind!" the pirates shouted.

A fierce battle was inevitable. Jiang Han and Nico Robin fought a desperate battle with the pirates. Kaido circled in the sky, roaring from time to time to cheer them on.

After a hard battle, Jiang Han finally defeated the pirates and left Zou Island with the inscription.

"Finally, I have collected all four inscriptions." Nico Robin said excitedly.

Jiang Han also showed a relieved smile on his face. (End of this chapter)
