Chương 161: Chapter 161: The Key to the Laugh Tale
Irresponsibly leaving Bullet for Sengoku to handle, Adrian swiftly distanced himself from this place where another battle was about to erupt.
He informed Bullet about Rouge's life on Baterilla Island. It was a whimsical act on Adrian's part, but he was curious to see how his interference might alter the future plot.
Hmm!
It wasn't because he wanted to witness a jealous rivalry or a brawl between Garp and Bullet over Ace!
But let's consider this:
If Garp and Bullet—two father figures—what would be Ace be in future as someone tossed to Mountain Bandit and sent to war as Child Soldier"?
A freeloading PTSD guy?
Ahem.
Back to the point.
Spoiling Bullet with wild revelations was one thing.
However, assisting him or teaming up to confront Buddha Sengoku, thereby aiding his escape from the Marine's pursuit, was entirely unnecessary.
Adrian didn't harbor any ill feelings toward Bullet, but he certainly didn't feel any warmth either.
If Bullet managed to escape Sengoku's clutches this time and safely reached Baterilla Island in the South Blue to meet Rouge and Ace, that would be his fate.
But if Bullet ended up directly in Sengoku's hands and was promptly sent to Impel Down, that would be his fate as well.
Approximately half an hour later, Adrian had flown a considerable distance, leaving Sengoku, Bullet, and the entire fleet of Marine warships far behind.
Extending his index finger, he lightly tapped the gray pocket watch case in his pocket.
"Rumi, you can release the Abyss now."
"Oh yeah, understood!"
Accompanied by a ripple, the Abyss, with its billowing sails, descended once again onto the surface of the sea. Its pale blue hull collided with the water, creating countless white splashes.
Adrian flew to the deck of the Abyss, where he found his usual reclining beach chair.
"Adrian-sama! I'll prepare some chilled watermelon juice for you!"
The diligent fox chef greeted him before dashing off to the kitchen.
At that moment, Rumi floated over to Adrian's side, hesitantly asking, "Adrian, have you already met Roger's wife and child?"
"It seems I haven't mentioned that to you before."
Adrian looked up at Rumi, accepting the chilled watermelon juice with a straw from Love. He sipped it slowly.
"That happened in the first half of this year. I went to the South Blue to make contact with a group of refugees…"
Adrian continued to drink the watermelon juice, explaining the events in the South Blue to Rumi. He emphasized the miraculous actions of Rouge, who evaded capture during the search.
Rumi murmured, "Oh, I never expected that Roger would find such a good wife…"
The emotionally sensitive Love seemed moved by Rouge's extraordinary will. Her mouth pouted slightly, and her fox-like eyes even shimmered with tears.
"Yes, it's hard to imagine that the legendary Pirate King would find his ultimate refuge in the South Blue and pass down his bloodline."
Adrian's gaze drifted, lost in memories.
"Back when I witnessed Roger's execution in Loguetown, his bold declaration that ushered in the Great Pirate Era sent shivers down my spine!"
Rumi looked surprised. "Oh, Adrian! Did you actually witness Roger's execution?"
The little fox wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, her mood recovering. She gazed curiously at Adrian.
Adrian grinned and extended his index finger, and two cute little white ghosts slowly emerged, dancing around his fingertip.
"Rumi, Love, would you like to personally experience the scene I once witnessed in Loguetown?" he asked.
Both Rumi and Love nodded in agreement.
With a thought, the two mini-ghosts appeared before the ship's spirit and the little fox, merging gently into their forms.
Dream Ghost: Dream Come True!
At its full level, Ghost Domination could extend ghost abilities to other psychic domains. The Dream Ghost was born from this.
Unlike the 'Dream Ghost: Sleep Curse,' which instantly induced deep slumber, the 'Dream Ghost: Dream Come True' extracted a specific memory from Adrian's past and transformed it into a semi-illusory dream ghost.
When struck by the Dream Ghost: Dream Come True, people could see that memory experience from a third-person perspective.
And why the name "Dream Come True"?
Because it wasn't limited to mere "memory."
Any fantasy scene Adrian had imagined, fleeting glimpses of reality, and more could be materialized into dream ghosts, allowing others to experience them.
In a way, Dream Ghost: Dream Come True could indeed turn inner desires into reality within the illusion.
Of course, Dream Come True had specific holographic features, but there was no need to elaborate on them here.
After a while, both Rumi and Love broke free from the influence of the Dream Come True.
The little fox's white fur stood on end, and she transformed into a fluffy ball. Clearly, she was overwhelmed by what she had just witnessed.
"Wow! Is that the legendary Pirate King, Roger? So cool! I've heard stories about him from the elders in the Mokomo Dukedom, but this is the first time I've seen him!"
Adrian playfully ruffled the Love's head. "Remember, it's just a memory from my mind."
"Is this Roger's final message?" Rumi's voice sounded somber. "Laugh Tale's ONE PIECE…"
"Speaking of which," Adrian sat up straight, locking eyes with Rumi, his expression dead serious. "As the ship spirit of the Oro Jackson, who accompanied Roger's crew on the Grand Line adventure and reached the last island…"
"You know the exact location of Laugh Tale, right?"
Although phrased as a question, Adrian's tone was assertive. Clearly, he was confident about this matter.
"Well, I do know Laugh Tale's location, and I can steer the Abyss there," Rumi replied.
Rumi nodded slightly.
"Adrian, do you also want to go searching for the 'Great Treasure' that Roger mentioned?"
"No!"
Adrian's serious expression suddenly relaxed, and he lazily lay back on the beach chair, waving his hand towards Rumi.
"I'm not interested in any 'Great Treasure' or 'Pirate King' stuff at all."
"What I care about is just you, Rumi!"
It seems that I really have the future in my hands!
The ship's spirit of the Pirate King's ship, Luffy's key, and the ticket to the final island!
Mine! They're all mine!
Adrian's mood was quite delightful.
The little ship spirit stretched a hand and pressed the pointed wizard hat on its head, partially covering its face. It then shyly danced in mid-air.
Adrian gestured.
"Rumi, let's not waste any more time. Let's move toward our destination!"
"Besides fulfilling our promise, I'm also very curious about the legendary Wano Country!" Rumi added.
"Forward to Wano Country!"
Just then, Love lightly shook his arm, looking hopeful, "Adrian-sama, aren't we going to the Zou Kingdom?"
"Eh? Was the Zou Kingdom included in our original planned route?"
"Adrian-sama!!"
Thanks to Myriad,
We finally know that it's Comil, not Gyumir.
