Tashigi glanced at her surroundings looking at the fishes swim by.
" We recently made a study on marine type fish... and 62 of them died in their tanks when we gave them Domaisly's sacred stone water," said Nick opening his journal as he showed it to Abeam.
" 62... thats not good... the world government would probably want a complete successful attempt... no your going to have to try harder professor." said Abeam looking at Nick's calculations.
Tashigi looked at Smoker, " Why does the government want to test things like this... I don't get it,".
Smoker looked at his protégé, " I don't know either... to be honest, I just came here to do my job and capture straw-hat."
Tashigi nodded, " Yes... but still this is very interesting though wouldn't you agree sir... just think what the government would want from things like this."
Smoker looked at the scientist and their test samples, " The government... I don't give a damn,"
Tashigi looked at shock, " Sir...how can you say something like that... they are our allies,"
Smoker snorted, " Right... they are our allies ? The only thing they care about is what best interest them... not anything else."
Tashigi looked at Smoker confused, "Thats not true... it can't be true...".
Smoker looked at Tashigi, " Why not ?"
"Because," said Tashigi walking towards the exit door, " My justice wouldn't mean anything anymore... it would all be a lie,"
Smoker grinned, " Right..."
" We made it," exclaimed Ussop glancing at the view from up high.
" Ahh what a view," said Luffy looking down at the town.
" Yeah great view whatever... come on lets find the treas..er I mean were the explosion was held," said Nami walking towards the land mine.
Zoro frowned, " Every time you make us go 'treasure hunting' we end up getting bad results.
Nami put her hands on her hip as she looked at him, " Like what,"
" Well... do you remember the whole incident when you came to save us from the rainbow mist... didn't your greed get the best of you," Asked Zoro raising his eyebrows.
" Hey there was treasure there and only a fool would miss out a opportunity like that," said Nami angrily.
" Yeah well we could have gotten out if you hadn't stalled for time," said Zoro angry as well.
"You know what ? Why are you talking about the past that was then this is now... trust me...," said Nami with a sly smile.
Zoro sighed, " Thats the problem..."
" Ah Nami Swan your arrogance is so attractive," said Sanji with love heart in his eyes.
Robin looked around and noticed there was a cave close by and she could see some sort on text in the walls it filled her with interest.
" Okay then... LETS GO," said Luffy running towards the mines, everybody followed behind except Zoro.
" Oi Robin lets go," said Zoro looking at her as she touched the walls of the cave,"
Robin smiled, " Its okay I'll stay here, there seems to be some ancient text here, I want to investigate it".
Zoro nodded in agreement and she turned her attention back to the scriptures.
Reading scriptures where not always easy... people would have to look at the text, examine it then symbol by symbol they read it...it takes time and patience to do it, and usually takes its time.
Yet for someone like Robin she could do it in half the time or less, ever since she was little girl she had studied books everyday... although sometimes she had spent so much time in studying that sometimes she didn't see the world around her.
She never bothered to make friends with the other kids in her village nor did she talked to them.
And the results for this was kids making fun of her or sometimes even throwing rocks at her when she was reading.
Her childhood wasn't the best, but she knew better to forger about it.
Her fingers slowly moved from one symbol to the next, until a vine got in the way of the next symbol.
She reached for her dagger she had in her pocket and started to cut it.
She grabbed the vine with one hand and the dagger with the other, she slowly tried to cut it, but the vine was too thick.
She couldn't use her powers for this, it could brake the vine and the text could brake along with the vine then she would have to put the broken text back together making more harder effort.
" Pretty stiff," she said to herself.
" Here let me help," said a voice behind her.
She was cut of surprise as she turned around.
Zoro looked at her surprised look, " What... don't you want to cut it?"
" Zoro I thought you left," said Robin.
Zoro raised his eyebrows, " Me leave? No I was sitting at that rock this whole time," he said pointing at a rock next to him.
" Oh... I couldn't sense you were there," she admitted.
Zoro walked next to the vine taking out Wadou, " You can sense peoples presence?"
She looked as he place himself next to the vine, " No, not really, but usually I can tell when people are watching me,"
He grinned, " You need to practice it some more then,"
Robin got his attention, " Please be careful, its very sensitive limestone rock and the erosion makes it ever more sensitive,"
Zoro gave a small nod and swiftly cut the vine successfully without harming the rock.
" Good thanks," she said smiling as she turned her attention at the writing.
Zoro walked back to his rock and put Wadou back to its scabboard, " Don't mention it,".
Zoro place his hands over his head and looked up at the clouds... he wasn't the kind of person to be looking at the clouds,but... heck there was nothing else to do and he was sure that by glancing at them he would slowly go to sleep.
And he was right it slowly tranquillized his mind and slowly closed his eyes in peace and before he knew it he was asleep.
Robin looked at the scriptures and when she finished she looked up amazed.
" Amazing... and to think how something like this could be in a small cave like this one... this could mean that there could be more..." she said looking at the mountains ahead.
The script read :
We are the decedents of this kingdom...
our lives are prosperous all thanks to the Olgen Tree...
We have seen the mystic oceans from afar get bigger and deadly...
We fear for our kingdom's safety...
Our Prophets have said that our kingdom will come to a severe reckoning of lost...
For our lives we are not sure, but we know our Olgen Tree will be our haven...
Second script read:
What we feared has come true...
A plague has fallen on us making our people parish and insane...
Our very own water is poisoned and our kingdom has been destroyed...
The water in which we drink is gone and we try to protect the Olgen Tree's roots from the poison...
We are protecting the Olgen's water shrine with seals and men for that is our last supplies of water...
Thy people that remain are shortened...
And us survivors are the ones who suffer the most...
We grow short for sips of hope...
And are left with nothing but despair...
But we shall stay here...
Hoping...
Praying...
For our faithfully tree's help...
Robin looked at the last text writing... those last text were barely readable... it had seemed whoever made the script had probably grown weak over time.
Robin looked puzzled, " kingdom... this island used to be a kingdom... but there aren't any ruins of kingdoms here... it would be impossible..."
" Unless" she said.
" This island was bigger than before... it is possible that the island had been splinted into plates making it seem to be split... but that would mean the other part of the island had to be near here..." she said out loud.
Zoro who had already awoke looked at her, " Well that script thing was old so the other part of the island must have been far from here by this time".
Robin looked at him, he was probably right.
"Why did you wake up," she said.
" Well you just talked about the kingdom out load and... well I just thought... well you know," he said.
Robin walked towards were the others were, " This is starting to make me fill with very much interest,"
Zoro got up and walked with her, " Interest... this interesting... sorry, but I don't picture this interesting."
Robin smiled, " History... is like a big puzzle piece... you have to put them together one by one."
Zoro laughed, " Thats a pretty big puzzle piece,"
Robin laughed back, " And this is all just a corner of it,"
