Pirate: Nami! Give me back my Berry!

Chapter 559 The Secret of the Island of the End

The Dream was like a fearless beast, splitting through the dazzling light and sailing through the waves towards Raftelu with all its might.

The sea breeze whistled miserably in my ears, and the sails were blown full, as if they would be torn apart at any time.

On the deck, everyone held their breath, their eyes filled with tension and anticipation, their gazes fixed on the gradually clearing horizon ahead.

As the distance gets closer, the legendary island is finally about to unveil its mysterious veil.

The outline of Raftel was looming in the morning light, like an illusion slowly emerging from a distant dream.

The island is gently shrouded in a layer of mist as thin as a veil. Strange light flickers in the mist, as if countless stars have broken free from the constraints of the night sky and fallen to the earth.

The vegetation on the island is extremely dense and has very strange shapes. The huge trees seem to be about to break through the sky, and fluorescent liquid flows between the branches and leaves, as if the island is a living thing that is breathing rhythmically.

"That's... Raftel?" Nami couldn't help but mutter to herself, her voice full of disbelief, and the sheepskin chart in her hand trembled slightly with excitement.

Her fingertips gently slid across the last route on the map, as if repeatedly confirming that all this was not an illusory dream.

Ling Yan stood tall at the bow, with a powerful domineering aura flowing around him, and that momentum seemed to be able to shock the entire sea.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, piercing through the layers of fog and looking straight into the depths of the island. He said in a low and powerful voice: "We are finally here."

White Star's trident lightly touched the sea surface, and ripples immediately appeared on the water, as if responding to her call enthusiastically.

Her fishtail sparkled with a charming pearl-like luster under the morning light, her eyes were full of anticipation and awe, and she whispered: "Lord Ling Yan, we are really here..."

The archaeological notebook in Robin's hand seemed to be driven by a mysterious force, automatically turning the pages, and ancient words slowly emerged on the yellowed pages: "When the navigator's footsteps set foot on Raftel, the truth of history will be revealed here."

Her fingertips gently touched the words, as if she could feel the breath left by countless ancestors over the long river of time.

The Dream slowly approached the shore, and the moment the anchor sank to the bottom of the sea, the entire island seemed to wake up from a deep sleep.

The fog gradually dissipated, revealing the true face of the island.

A huge stone tablet stands on the shore, engraved with ancient runes. Golden light flows between the runes, as if telling a thousand-year-old secret. The mysterious atmosphere is overwhelming.

"These are... the historical texts!" Robin's voice trembled slightly with excitement. She walked quickly towards the stone tablet, gently stroking the runes with her fingertips, with crystal tears flashing in her eyes, "Finally... finally found it..."

Ling Yan walked up to her, glanced at the words on the stone tablet, and asked, "What's written on it?"

Robin took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and slowly read out the contents on the stone tablet:

"To future navigators:

When you set foot on this land, it means you have completed the great journey.

But remember, Raftel is not the end, but a new beginning.

The truth and the future are all in the sea of ​​stars. "

Nami walked to the stone tablet, and the sheepskin chart in her hand suddenly emitted a faint light.

The ink on the nautical chart and the runes on the stone tablet produced a wonderful resonance, and the entire map slowly rose into the air, transforming into a three-dimensional star map projection in the air.

In the star map, countless points of light flicker and jump, outlining a mysterious route leading to the depths of the universe.

"This is..." Nami said with wide eyes, full of shock, "The route to the sea of ​​stars!"

At this moment, a low roar came from the depths of the island. The sound was dull and powerful, like the roar of an ancient beast.

The ground shook slightly, and the huge trees slowly spread apart, revealing a path leading to the center of the island.

There are countless statues standing on both sides of the path, each of which is carved vividly, and their eyes seem to have life, staring closely at this group of brave navigators.

"Let's go," Ling Yan took a firm step first, "Let's see what secrets Raftel is hiding."

Everyone followed Ling Yan closely onto the path. Every step seemed to be stepping on the pulse of history, and they could feel the weight of time.

The statue's eyes moved as they moved, as if witnessing the arrival of this historic moment.

At the end of the path is a huge altar. In the center of the altar stands a crystal clear crystal. In the crystal is a bright star, which emits a soft and mysterious light.

"That is..." Robin's voice trembled with shock, "The legendary Heart of the Stars recorded in ancient books!"

Nami walked to the crystal, slowly stretched out her hand, and gently touched it. Ripples appeared on the surface of the crystal, and the light of the stars flowed into her body along her fingertips.

In an instant, her vision was filled with countless images - ancient navigators driving simple but courageous ships to explore the vast sea of ​​stars, countless civilizations rising and falling like fireworks in the universe, and finally, the picture froze on a blue planet, which was beautiful and fragile.

"Is this... the ancient times of Blue Star?" Nami murmured in a low voice, her voice full of confusion and worry.

Robin's archaeological notes automatically turned to the last page, and a new line of text appeared on it: "When the Heart of the Stars awakens, new routes will be launched in the universe. Navigators, your mission has just begun."

Nami walked to Ling Yan's side, her eyes firm and her tone full of strength: "No matter what lies ahead, we will face it together."

The center of the island is not ordinary land, but a huge floating city.

The city's architectural style is a blend of ancient and modern elements. Towers interwoven with bronze and crystal rise high into the clouds, as if to touch the stars in the sky. Glowing rivers flow through the streets, and the river water sparkles with dreamy light, as if the entire city has its own life and is breathing rhythmically.

"This place... is like another world." Nami exclaimed. The sheepskin chart in her hand automatically unfolded, clearly showing the three-dimensional structure of Raftel.

Robin flipped through his archaeological notes again, and new words emerged:

“Raftelu is not a naturally formed island, but a floating city built by an ancient civilization to preserve knowledge and history.

This is the end of the Great Route and the starting point to the sea of ​​stars.

Ling Yan's eyes swept across the huge crystal tower in the center of the city. The light on the top of the tower shone in harmony with the Heart of the Stars. He whispered, "It seems that there are more secrets inside..."

Everyone followed Ling Yan into the crystal tower, and the scene inside the tower completely shocked them.

Countless suspended bookshelves are neatly arranged in the tower, filled with ancient books and scrolls.

Each book emits a faint light, as if whispering a thousand-year-old story. The faint fragrance of books and ancient atmosphere permeate the entire tower.

Tears glistened in Robin's eyes. She gently stroked the books on the bookshelf and said in a trembling voice: "These...are all ancient books that have been lost for a long time!"

At this moment, the crystal on the top of the tower suddenly burst out with dazzling light, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

A holographic projection appeared in front of everyone. In the projection, an old man dressed in ancient navigator's clothes slowly emerged.

The old man's face was kind but a little vicissitudes of life. He slowly spoke: "

Welcome to Raftel, brave sailors. You have completed the challenge of the Grand Line, and now it is time to uncover the final secret.

The old man's voice was deep and powerful, as if it had traveled through a thousand years of time, echoing in the tower:

"Now the time has come."

"Raftel is not only the end of the Grand Line, but also the gateway to the sea of ​​stars."

"The Heart of the Stars is the key to open this door, and your courage and wisdom will be the beacon leading the future."

"At the beginning, one of the two advocated heading to the starry sky, while the other did not want to take the risk and put the planet in danger."

"But they don't know that this planet is not safe either..."
