Chapter 99 Anyone who believes in Rolando must not be a bad person! (Ch 99)

“Robin, have you heard of the story of ‘Big Liar’ Rolando?” Moser stood on the bow deck, one hand casually resting on the side of the ship, looking at the gradually clear outline of Gaya Island where the sea and sky meet in the distance.
The sloop under his feet was picked out by him from the mountain of “collections” on the terrifying three-masted ship.
The ship is not big and its structure is simple. Compared with the majestic giant ship that blocks out the sky and the sun, the terrifying three-masted ship is just like a toy.
Although it was not as majestic as his terrifying brig, it was strong and light enough.
As his mobile fortress and throne, the Thriller Bark is naturally impeccable in terms of deterrence and comprehensive strength, and perfectly fits Moze’s pursuit of violent aesthetics for his mount.
However, everything has its pros and cons.
If there is any disadvantage, it is its huge hull and relatively slow speed.
Especially when there is a serious shortage of manpower on board, especially professional navigators, it has become a realistic problem that must be faced.
What’s more, the destination of their trip is the legendary Sky Island, a miraculous place located ten thousand meters above the sky.
Want to send a behemoth like the Thriller Barque soaring into the sky on the strong ocean current?
Moser shook his head.
Even if there is a theoretical possibility of success, Moser would never be willing to take such a risk with his beloved car.
If the ship was destroyed, where would he go to cry?
Therefore, he once again chose to travel light.
Anyway, the Thriller Bark lacks everything except pirate ships of various types and sizes.
Those are the “legacies” left behind by the unlucky people who unfortunately broke into the Devil’s Triangle in the past and eventually became part of the Moonlight Moriah Zombie Army.
Every time Moze travels, he just picks one up as a disposable vehicle, which is convenient and quick.
Disposable after use, no regrets.
Oh no, you can’t just throw it away this time.
Mo Ze’s lips curled up slightly. If this trip goes well, the ship will return full of gold, so it must be taken good care of.
At least the integrity of the gold must be ensured until it is safely transported back.
Robin has quickly adapted to her new secretary identity. At this moment, she is wearing a fitted dark secretary uniform, her long black hair draped softly behind her, and her unmade-up face looks particularly beautiful in the sea breeze.
She stood quietly half a step behind Moser, holding a logbook and several rolled-up drawings in her hands, on which the nautical charts and ocean current analysis around Gaya Island could be vaguely seen.
Hearing Moser’s question, she replied calmly: “Yes, Captain. I know something about Mont Blanc Rolando. He was an explorer from the Kingdom of Lubnil in the North Sea and was active about four hundred years ago.”
“He once led a fleet into the Grand Route and by chance arrived at Gaya Island, where he met the inhabitants of the time, the Shandia people.”
“According to records, he discovered the legendary golden city ‘Shandora’ on Gaya Island, a dreamland where gold is everywhere.”
“After Rolando returned to the Kingdom of Lubnir, he reported the existence of the Golden City to the king. The king became greedy and sent Rolando to lead the fleet to Gaya Island again.”
“However, when they finally arrived at Gaya Island after going through untold hardships, they only found a deserted island.”
Robin continued, his tone still steady: “The Golden City that Rolando mentioned, along with the entire Shandora, disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.”
“The king thought Rolando had lied to him and was furious. Although Rolando risked his life to insist that what he said was true and even described the details of the Golden Country in detail, no one believed him anymore.”
“In the end, Mont Blanc Roland was executed for deceiving the king and was dubbed the ‘liar king’ by the world. His story became a household fairy tale of lies in the North Sea.”
“Sometimes, what is considered a lie is often the closest to the truth.” He turned his head and looked at Robin: “What do you think, Robin? Aren’t there enough buried truths in this world?”
Robin heard this and tightened his fingers around the blueprint. A barely perceptible ripple appeared in his calm eyes. “The Captain is right. There are far more distorted and forgotten truths than the stories that are passed down by the world.”
In her mind, the raging fire of O’Hara and the unexplorable centuries of blank time that had been forcibly erased by the World Government flashed across her mind.
O’Hara was ruthlessly killed just because he was pursuing the history that was unknown to the world.
“Wow! The Golden Land! The Sky Island is real too?” Perona was squatting there bored, with ghosts floating around her. Upon hearing this, she immediately perked up and came close to Moze like a kitten smelling fish.
His eyes, which had been listless before, now sparkled with excitement, almost emitting little golden stars. His voice rose a few notches, with a unique shrillness: “Captain, Captain! Is what that big-talking Rolando said true? Doesn’t that mean there is a lot of gold waiting for us?”
She could almost see countless gold coins flying before her eyes, piling up like a mountain. She clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, her little face flushed red.
It seemed as if he would jump into the pile of gold and roll around in it in the next second, purring with satisfaction.
“Sky Island…” Nami, who had been listening silently, couldn’t help but repeat it softly at this moment.
She tightened the charcoal pencil in her hand, as if she had begun to outline the contours of the legendary island.
As a navigator whose goal is to chart the world’s oceans, this ten-thousand-meter-high island that only exists in vague legends is full of irresistible attractions and unprecedented challenges for her.
If I could draw a map of Sky Island myself…
Nami’s heart began to beat uncontrollably faster and her cheeks felt a little hot.
Of course, it would be even better if there really was the legendary gold on the island!
She glanced at Mo Ze secretly, then quickly lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but rise slightly.
As Nami gradually determined that the environment she was in was not dangerous, Moser had no other requirements except that she must learn her favorite sailing knowledge every day.
The greedy character she developed because of the Arlong Pirates began to be exposed little by little.
She glanced at Moze calmly, already silently calculating the potential benefits of this action and how to better demonstrate her own value and thus obtain more rewards.
“If Sky Island doesn’t exist, why would I come here?” Moze asked back with a hint of sarcasm.
He glanced at everyone and finally landed on Gaya Island in the distance. “To reach Sky Island, we still need some preparations. For example, we need to find Rolando’s descendant, a man named Kulikai. He can help us calculate when the next sky current will appear. By the way, our ship also needs a little strengthening.”
He paused and added: “After all, it would not be funny if the ship fell apart while returning with a full load of gold.”
“Yes.” Robin responded.
Nor did he question how Moze was sure of these things and knew that Rolando’s descendants were here.
During this period of time, she discovered that this new boss knew an astonishing amount of things.
When Perona heard that she had to find people and strengthen the ship, she became impatient and pouted: “How long will it take? Will the gold grow legs and run away?” The ghost beside her also cooperated and made a sad expression.
“If you have nothing to do, you can study with Nami, or learn from Robin how to be a qualified assistant. Serving tea and water will always come in handy.”
Moze looked at Perona who was doing nothing and made casual arrangements.
Perona pouted immediately after hearing that. The ghosts floating around her also made a gloomy expression, “Ah? Why do we need to study again? There’s no sign of the Golden Country yet! What’s the point of learning those things now?”
She shook Moze’s arm, trying to get away with it by acting coquettishly.
Nami couldn’t help but look up when she heard this. The corners of her mouth curved slightly, with a smile of watching a good show in her eyes.
Moser remained unmoved.
Perona is in this state and hasn’t developed anything yet, but she thinks she can convince him with this?
No way!
“You must choose one. Or you can choose to sweep the decks and cabins until we find the gold.”
“Yes… I’d better learn sailing from Nami. At least… at least if I learn it, I can find gold faster, right?” She tried to find some comfort for herself.
In fact, the main reason is that she is close in age to Nami, and Nami looks much easier to fool than Robin, who always has a blank expression on her face.
As for studying? What the hell!
When the time comes, I will pester Nami with all kinds of questions so that she can’t concentrate on reading!
Nami suppressed her laughter and waved at her, motioning her to come over.
At this moment, the boat beneath his feet began to sail smoothly and its speed gradually slowed down.
In the distance, the unique outline of Gaya Island, which seemed to be half eaten by a giant beast, gradually became clear in the sea fog, and a primitive and rough breath blew in the sea breeze.
“Captain, we are almost at Gaya Island.” Nami put down the charcoal pencil in her hand, stood up, and looked at the island that was getting closer and closer.
Moser nodded.
Nonsense, he is not Moze, the god of death, who can see it.
Suddenly, Robin issued a warning: “Captain! Left front! At nine o’clock, a pirate ship is spotted heading towards us at high speed!”
Looking towards the nine o’clock direction, they saw a pirate ship with a huge monkey head decorated on the bow and a monkey catching the moon flag hanging on the mast. It was breaking through the waves and rushing towards them with great momentum.
On the bow deck stood a sturdy man with thick hair all over his body, arms as thick as oars, and a face that looked like an ape.
He was looking at them with a grin, his eyes full of vigilance.
This person is none other than the leader of the Saruyama United Army – the Ape Pirates, Ape.
He is also one of Wenbran Kulikai’s capable subordinates whom Moser is looking for.
“Woo-squeak! Woo-squeak!” The ape stood on the deck of his own boat, his hands on his hips, jumping up and down like a real monkey, looking at Moser and his group vigilantly, shouting loudly with a strange and sharp habit.
“Listen up, ships ahead! Who are you? What are you doing sneaking around Gaya Island? This is the territory of our Saruyama Allied Forces! Tell us your names and your purpose! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude and dismantling your ships for firewood!”
Several crew members behind him, who were also dressed like savages, also let out strange shouts and waved their weapons in an attempt to increase the deterrent effect.
Faced with the ape’s explosive questioning, Moze remained calm and responded loudly: “We are adventurers who are looking for the legendary Sky Island and the lost golden city – Shandora.”
When the ape heard the words “Sky Island” and “Golden City Shandora”, the fierceness and vigilance on his face froze instantly.
Then, an incredible light burst out from his round eyes, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world.
He stamped his feet excitedly on the deck, making a series of excited “squeaks”.
“Sky, Sky Island?! Shandora?!” The ape’s voice became a little shrill and even trembling because of excitement, completely different from the rough voice just now. “Woo squeak! You… you also believe that the story of ‘Big Liar Rolando’ is true? Did you come here to pursue that great dream?”
The reason why the ape follows Rolando’s descendant Mont Blanc Coulee so wholeheartedly is that he has admired Mont Blanc Rolando, the North Sea hero in the fairy tale book since he was a child, who did everything for his dream and promise but was ultimately despised and misunderstood by the world.
In his heart, Rolando is a real man and a model of adventurer!
To him, anyone who believes in Rolando, believes in the real existence of Sky Island and Golden City, is a fellow who deserves respect and has the same burning dream!
That feeling is like finding a long-lost brother!
Mozer looked at his dramatic transformation, and a knowing smile appeared on his lips. “Mont Blanc Rolando is not a liar. He is a respectable explorer. I believe in his stories, and I also believe in the existence of Sky Island and the Golden Country. They are not just empty legends.”
“Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!” The ape was so excited that he danced with joy. His previous vigilance and hostility had long been thrown out of the window, replaced by a kind of ecstasy and excitement as if he had found a long-lost relative.
He waved at Moze’s boat and shouted enthusiastically, “Great! That’s great! Squeak! Quick! Pull the boat over here! Since you are partners pursuing the same dream, you are friends of our Yuanshan United Army! I will take you to find our boss right now! He will be very happy to hear the news!”
Do you suspect that Mo Ze is here with bad intentions? Is he here for some other purpose?
It doesn’t exist at all!
How could anyone who can believe in Lord Rolando and believe in the Golden Land be a bad person!
They must be companions who share the same pure and great dreams!
