Journey to One Piece

129. Pluton

Vivi nodded her head with a wide grin. Taking down Crocodile wasn't really hard for their Captain and he was sure that Zoro, Sanji, Ken and even Ussop might be able to take down Crocodile. He was never a threat once she got to know how powerful her friends were.

"What do you want to do with the secret agents. They aren't here from the looks of it." Cobra said as the moment he got to know about the secret agents, he had sent people to check if anyone had infiltrated their castle or anything odd that might have happened recently. Thankfully there was none.

"If the CP agents aren't here than it only means that they have contacted the rebels and would try to boost them in order to take down the royal family." Ken commented as Cobra was thinking hard.

Ken's words suddenly made his mind clear. It was true. The rebels had garnered a huge number of people under themselves and even if the Baroque Works were no more a threat, the rebels were still there.

"Koza.." Vivi mumbled under her breath. Koza was one of her childhood friends and they had spent a lot of time together. In fact, any normal person would say that both of them were childhood sweet hearts but now everything had gone to the opposite direction. She wasn't sure if she could consider him as her friend.

"Then I guess we will have to wait until the rebels storms the city." Ken said.

"But people will get hurt until then." Vivi said as her heart was breaking seeing all the injustice that her country was facing.

"Relax Vivi, Crocodile has been taken care of and Smoker had been advised to catch people who were using Dance Powder to make artificial rain. Soon there will be rain in all the parts of the country and these rebels would stop fighting. Their strength would dwindle as soon as Koza announces. It would be then that we would strike." Ken said and as if words were like God's letters, there was a thunder sound.

Black clouds were slowly forming over the city. Smoker after catching Crocodile had ordered the marines to catch all the people using Dance Powder. Of course, catching them wasn't easy, more so now that the CP agents were actively trying to derail his plan. But the marines that were directly under Smoker had caught some people using Dance Powder and were been taken down. The little change had already brought the black clouds over the city.

And in fact it was the same in Nanohana and 2 other cities in the country. It was a small start but at least it had started. Cobra had a smile on his face when he heard the thundering sounds. Dance Powder could only produce rain, but never thundering sounds. This meant that the ecosystem was finally turning back to normal.

"Can I see the Poneglyph?" Robin out of nowhere came forward and asked Cobra. He was taken aback and looked at Vivi for suggestion.

"Papa, she can read Poneglyphs. You can allow her to read the texts." Vivi said.

"You.. You can read them?" Cobra was surprised. He had known of the massacre that happened that supposedly wiped out everyone who could read those texts. Since she was able to read them, it meant she was one of the survivor of Ohara.

Robin nodded her head.

"You are a survivor of Ohara?" Cobra asked again to which Robin had a change of face but at the end she nodded again.

"I am sorry." Cobra asked for forgiveness. He knew how painful it could be for anyone who lost everyone. "Come with me."

Robin was the only person who followed Cobra as nobody seemed to be interested. Only other person that could read those texts was Luffy, and he was busy stuffing himself with meat. Robin went to the secret vault that the royal family maintained and came back after reading them.

"Robin-san what did you get to know?" Sanji asked with his heart eyes. By that time only Cobra and the crew were left in the Hall and everyone had gone away for their own work. The rebels were coming for the city so they needed to do preparations.

"The Poneglyphs tells us about the location of an ancient weapon. Pluton." Robin said. "In Wano."

"Wano.."

"Why do I feel like I have heard that name before." Zoro said.

"Ken had mentioned that island multiple times. Wait, I remember. That person name Kozuki Oden belonged to Wano. Didn't he?" Nami asked as she was preset when Ken said that Oden had died in front of Buggy.

Everyone looked at Ken who was busy eating peanuts.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"This ancient weapon is in Wano." Nami asked.

"Yes.. So?" Ken was confused why did it matter if he knew Wano or not.

"Then we can use the take the weapon for ourselves once we get to Wano." Ussop said as he had stars in his eyes and already imagining having a huge gun in his hand and shooting down everyone, or maybe something like his bow which he would be able to use soon.

"Good idea but it's not possible." Ken poured water on their dreams. Though Luffy never really cared about the Ancient Weapons he was interested to hear about them.

"Why?"

"The country of Wano is a closed country and bringing that weapon out means the country will open its borders. That is not possible for the current Wano."

"Open its borders? What does that mean?" Nami asked.

"You will understand when we will get there. For now forget about the weapon and concentrate how we should handle the rebel army and find those hiding rats because I am sure they will be blended among the rebels and cause havoc." Ken said

In the original story Baroque Works caused havoc even though Koza himself wanted to stop the attack long ago and Ken was sure that the CP agents would use the same tactic.
