One Piece: The Magician

Chapter 292 The Cursed Holy Sword

In the middle of the night, everything is silent.

More than an hour has passed since the death race pre-match rally ended.

The atmosphere in the cabin of the Golden Meili was very solemn.

The Straw Hats and Maya were sitting around the dining table, and the slightly dim light illuminated their faces. Except for a certain second-rate captain who still looked cute, the rest of them had serious expressions.

"Meow~~~" Besti nestled in Nami's arms and made a small meow.

It stared at a pair of scarlet cat eyes, tilted its neck, and seemed to be wondering what was going on with these poop shovelers.

But then the little black cat's attention was attracted by a pointer placed on the dining table.

Different from the record pointer on Nami's wrist, this pointer is similar in shape to the ordinary pointers on the four seas, except that there is no magnetic needle in the middle, and instead there is a small turtle soaking in the water.

This little turtle stayed inside, motionless.Luffy stretched out his hand to fiddle with it, and the little turtle immediately moved its limbs to adjust its posture, and hurriedly turned its head back to the direction it originally faced.

"Hey, look, it seems that the person on the screen just now was right. Its head can only face one direction." The idiot captain clicked his tongue in surprise.

"The magnetic field in the Grand Line is very chaotic, but some animals can still identify the direction very accurately."

Sherlock pushed up his glasses, looked at the unconscious blue-haired girl, and said, "Your ancestors of the Kingdom of Askar are really a bunch of very wise people, Miss Maya."

Nami and others had different expressions. No wonder Maya said last night that her pointer was alive. It turned out that its body was a living little turtle.

""

Maya was not happy at all after hearing this. She looked straight at the tortoise pointer on the table, her mood was extremely complicated.

On the Wandering Island, her hometown, the record pointer couldn't point to where for some reason, so after losing the turtle pointer, Maya always thought she could never go back.

But just one day later, Maya received a new turtle pointer at the previous pre-game rally.

This should be a very happy thing, but there are about a hundred other pirate groups who also received the Turtle Pointer.

Yes, the end point of this death race is Maya’s hometown: the Lost Island.

The condition for becoming a champion is to find the legendary cursed sword and bring it back to Hannabal.

Maya fell into deep doubts, and when she thought that her hometown was about to be visited by more than 1 vicious pirates, Maya's mind went blank.

"Maya"

Looking at the extremely helpless look of the blue-haired girl, Nami couldn't bear it. She wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say at this time.

They all know very well what it means for the Wandering Island as the destination of this death race.

That is bound to set off a bloody storm

If you expect those pirates to only hunt for treasure and not disturb the harmonious life of civilians, then you might as well expect Luffy, a foodie, to stop eating meat.

"Calm down, Maya."

Sherlock remained as calm and calm as ever. He rested his elbows on the table and crossed his fingers with his hands.

"Now is not the time for you to be in a daze. There is still some time before the game officially starts. We must quickly formulate a response plan."

"All of us will help you." There was a calm and unhurried determination in the calm tone of a certain glasses.

"help me"

Maya was stunned. She looked blankly at the pirates who had just known each other for a day or so, and her heart beat faster in vain.

"Yes, Maya." Luffy nodded and said seriously: "Although you were bought back by Charlotte, since you have joined us, you can be considered our partner."

"Don't partners should help each other?"

"Hmph~~" Nami, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper smiled slightly, looking at the blue-haired girl with determination and encouragement in their eyes.

Looking at this group of pirates who once again refreshed her knowledge, Maya felt a warm current flowing through her heart. Her nose became sore and tears flowed down in large drops.

"Thank you, thank you. Thank you so much."

At this point, Maya couldn't find anything else to say.

"Tch, what's there to say thank you for?" Zoro crossed his arms over his chest and complained in a low voice: "We have to compete anyway, and those pirates are also enemies. Helping you is equivalent to helping ourselves."

"Idiot" Nami angrily hit the green-haired swordsman on the head and yelled: "Don't say such disgraceful words at this time."

"Tch, idiot green algae head" the curly-browed cook looked gloating.

"Haha" Robin covered his mouth and chuckled.

After such an episode, the atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became much more relaxed, and the dense cloud of worry between Maya's brows also dissipated a bit.

"Okay, Maya. That's it. I hope you won't hide anything from us."

The transparent lenses reflected two rays of white light, covering Sherlock's eyes. He looked at the blue-haired girl quietly and asked: "Is that legendary pistol really hidden in your hometown, the Wandering Island?"

"Yes." Maya nodded.

Robin's expression changed and he hurriedly asked: "Then the truth about the demise of the Kingdom of Askar was also because of"

"Yes."

Maya nodded again, with an extremely serious expression on her face: "Thousands of years ago, the extremely powerful Askar Kingdom was destroyed by the Sword of Disaster."

The timid trio of Gudong all swallowed their saliva. They recalled what Maya had said at yesterday's barbecue banquet, and they broke out in cold sweat behind their backs.

The two of them and one deer suddenly felt that compared to the cursed sword that could destroy a huge empire, the Big Bear King and the Murloc Alliance seemed much safer.

"A sword can actually destroy a country." Sanji was slightly startled when he was lighting a cigarette.

Zoro was also a little unbelievable, frowning and asked: "No way, what is so special about that sword that it is so terrifying?"

Robin and a certain glasses glanced at each other and exchanged glances.

When he returned to Qinghai from the empty island, Sherlock handed her, an archaeologist, several black books written with ancient texts and deciphering formulas.

Robin learned from those black books that the legendary cursed holy sword was not just a legend, but a terrifying weapon second only to ancient weapons.

The crimson ominous blood moon, the gaze from hell, the evil flames that bring disaster,

Recalling the descriptions of the Seven Star Sword's unclear power in the Black Book, Robin felt that it was not a big problem that the Seven Star Sword could destroy a country.

"It's true, the Seven Star Sword is that kind of cursed sword that can only bring disaster." Maya's body trembled slightly.

Even though she did not personally experience the catastrophe thousands of years ago, through the generations of survivors, the blue-haired girl can still feel what her ancestors went through back then.

"In this case, let me tell you how the Seven Star Sword was born. In this way, you will understand everything."

Maya organized her thoughts, and then began to whisper to the Straw Hats about the history that had been sealed for thousands of years.
