Chapter 7

When Robin was checking on her mother Olivia, the den-den mushi in possession the guy in the middle rang. "Sir we have found a huge stone slab with unknown inscriptions" said the person who had called "we believe its a poneglyph and there are lot of notes containing similar inscriptions found in the lab, clearing showing that these people were actually studying the poneglyphs."

The mad who received the call said " Good work" before ending the call.

He immediately called someone else and reported the situation so far, then person who was connected via den-den mushi said " Trying to commit treason against the World Government by deciphering the ancient texts from the poneglyphs to acquire the Ancient weapons is a crime punishable death. What do you have to say for your self?"

Professor Clover started laughing " You can drop your self righteous act now, we all know none of us were trying to find the ancient weapons, we are scholars for godsakes what we crave in knowledge not weapons. You just want to make up a reason to kill us and set an example to deter others from searching or deciphering the poneglyphs. Before you kill us Gorosei I have theory about the void century do you care to listen ?"

"No matter what the reason is you have violated the law by deciphering the ancient texts. Your rambling of this so called theory will be considered as your last wish before we deliver our justice"

"The reason poneglyph was created was because the people who created them knew if that their message would be destroyed if left in books or paper. The only reason they knew their message would be destroyed is because they had enemies. The poneglyph speaks about the existence of a a single country that was great civilization. It boasted of having peace prosperity and great power but if we check our history there is no mention of this country, as if it never existed at all. Dont you find it that its a great coincidence that the great kingdom was destroyed by an alliance of countries and at the end of void century exactly 800 years ago an alliance of countries formed the world government ? While the ancient weapons maybe a great threat to the world but the greater threat to the world government would be revealing the history,ideas or even the existence of that country. Do you know what that country was called ? "

" THIS HAS GONE ON FOR A LONG TIME JUST SHOOT HIM AND DESTROY THE ISLAND ALONG WITH THE SCHOLARS USING BUSTER CALL"

Even before professor could utter the name of the great civilization he was shot point blank mortally wounding him.

And the man immediately contacted someone else using a golden den-den mushi and said "Its Buster call time" and with in few seconds the sounds of bombardment could be heard and the tree of knowledge had caught fire.

Seeing this the man in the middle said " Wow these are fast, if we stay here any longer we will get caught in the fire too, lets hurry back Laskey and you " pointing at the thrid guy "get Nico Olivia with you she has other uses for the government". After giving out the order he fled along with the other guy called Laskey at top speed.

"D@mn that Spandine giving me dangerous work again" cursed the third man moving towards Nico Olivia lying on the ground but before he could even touch her he found two hands suddenly appearing on his back and before he could react the hands twisted his neck with a great force ending his life in an instant.

Robin barely took a second to kill the guy hence the others did not notice what happened. Even though Spandine and Laskey realised that the other guy was dead , they valued their own life more than revenge for their fallen comrade and thought anyways they all will perish in the buster call.

Olivia by now had recovered some of her vitality, and hugged Robin a said with a weak voice " My daughter sorry for being a bad mother, I really hope you can forgive me for abandoning you to chase my dreams. The professor already told me you have become an archaeologist and even learn to read the poneglyph, you must have worked hard. Now just run away from here and survive, go board the evacuation ship, they dont know about you being an archaeologist."

Before Robin could reply a large man came in-front of the mother daughter duo and said " Finally I found you, come Robin let me help you get off this island"

"Saul ? How did you end up here ? Dint you defect from the navy ? " asked Olivia.

Saul finally noticed Olivia and said " I drifted here after my ship was wrecked by the storm your daughter saved me. Let me help you get off this Island too"

Olivia hugged Robin and then pushed her in front of Saul and said "Just save my daughter I have other things to do " and immediately started to run towards the tree of knowledge. What she dint know was Robin already knew that with out any help from a doctor her mother would die soon due to the internal injuries.

Robins mind right now was a complete mess, the same tragedy what she faced in her first lifetime happened again in this lifetime too. Anger sadness and a myriad of negative emotions were affecting Robin. She knew just like in her previous life she needed to survive in order to take revenge, she needed to grow stronger to get revenge and for that she had to leave the island

Yep Robin just drew her first blood (not counting countless Sea Kings that have become her food).

So R.I.P nameless third guy.

Just one more chapter to get out of Ohara.

Thanks for reading, hopefully you enjoyed it.

Have a great day ahead.
