The world is about to usher in new changes, and it all starts with this adventure tonight – starts with the shocking truth that has been sealed for eight hundred years.

In the back, Aokiji stood on the deck of the navy ship, quietly looking at the location where Moonlight Island disappeared and the direction where Lin Ye and others left. His expression was still calm, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

“Some songs are meant to be sung; some roads are meant to be walked.” Aokiji whispered to himself, then turned around and ordered: “Return to headquarters at full speed and report the failure of the mission.”

The boat sailed into the waters of a remote island. This was a safe base that Silva had set up many years ago. It was far away from the route and had excellent concealment. They had been away from Moonlight Island for half a day. Although they were temporarily safe, everyone looked extremely solemn. They settled down in a hidden cave on the island. The cave was equipped with basic living supplies and communication equipment, enough for them to rest for a few days.

As night fell, a bonfire lit up in the center of the cave, and the firelight illuminated everyone’s thoughtful faces. After a long silence, Ace finally spoke: “Now, it’s time to talk about everything we saw in the Gate of Truth.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Robin, an archaeologist who had the deepest understanding of ancient civilizations. Robin took a deep breath and took out a small notebook from her bosom. This was the notes she had compiled on the ship.

“The ancient kingdom… it’s not just a country, but a civilization that transcends time,” Robin’s voice was calm. “They discovered the essence of this world in a way that we can hardly imagine now – the whole world is actually a huge network composed of ‘life energy flow’. This energy permeates everything and connects all life.”

Silva nodded and added, “The scholars of the ancient kingdom called it the ‘source of all things’. It is the basis of all energy and life.”

Robin continued, “They invented the technology to manipulate this energy, creating many of the ‘miracles’ we see today – the Devil Fruit being one of them. It was originally a product of ancient energy engineering, designed to strengthen humans to deal with some kind of threat from deep in the universe.”

“What threat?” Sabo asked with a frown.

“The Gate of Truth calls them ‘Visitors from the Void’,” Robin’s voice trembled slightly, “a kind of existence from the depths of the starry sky. They were attracted by some ancient device on the moon and tried to invade our world. For defense, the ancient kingdom built three ancient weapons – Pluto, Aquaman and Uranus. They were not designed for war, but a unified defense system to resist these outsiders.”

Lin Ye pondered for a moment: “So, the reason why the World Government erased this history…?”

“Because of betrayal,” Robin’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, “some of the founders of the twenty kingdoms made a deal with those ‘Void Visitors’ in exchange for power and immortality. They formed a world government, launched a full-scale war against the Ancient Kingdoms, and after their victory, they erased all related history to cover up this terrible truth.”

Everyone fell into shocked silence.

“The Five Elders…are they…” Ace didn’t finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.

Robin nodded: “The Gate of Truth shows that the betrayers gained nearly eternal life, but the price was that they had to regularly ‘eat’ a specific energy. I believe that is the origin of the Five Elders today, and why the World Government is so crazy about hunting down people with D blood – the blood of the D family contains a special component that resists the influence of the ‘Void Visitors’.”

Lin Ye suddenly stood up and took out the miniature historical text fragment he brought from Moonlight Island. In the light of the campfire, he could sense the information contained in it: “I sensed a clue about Raftel from this fragment. According to the records on it, Raftel may have stored the key to activate the moon’s defense system.”

“Moon Defense System?” Sabo asked curiously.

Silva explained: “In ancient legends, the moon is the final barrier, and on it is built the ultimate weapon to fight against the ‘Void Visitors’. But only when all the keys are collected can it be truly activated.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “Moreover, what Moonlight Island released when it sank was not only a beam of light, but also the ‘Seed of Truth’ – a special energy fluctuation that will awaken ancient relics around the world and activate the ancient memories dormant in people’s blood.”

“This means that the world will become even more chaotic in the future,” Robin added. “As ancient memories are awakened, many people will begin to question the world government and seek the truth. And the world government will definitely use all means to suppress it.”

Lin Ye stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the starry sky: “Then we must be one step faster than them, find all the keys, and reveal the whole truth.”

He turned around and faced his companions. “I think we should split up. This will be more efficient and distract the world government.”

Everyone nodded in agreement and began to discuss the specific plan.

In the end, they decided to take on different tasks: Robin and Silva would go to Water City to look for ancient documents, where the library might contain more information about ancient weapons; Ace would return to the Whitebeard Pirates to seek support and protection from his father; Sabo would return to the Revolutionary Army headquarters to report this major discovery to Long; and Lin Ye decided to go to Blue Sea Town alone to look for the mysterious person who could hear the “voice of all things” in the legend.

“Blue Sea Town? Why are we going there?” Ace asked puzzledly.

Lin Xi pointed to the miniature history text: “It mentions that there is a person who can hear the ‘voice of all things’ and has the ability to interpret the Raftel road signs. According to the description, that person may be in Blue Sea Town.”

Silva’s expression was serious. “If you mean the person I think she is, then be careful. Legend has it that she can hear the sounds of the island and the ocean, but she never reveals her secrets easily.”

At dawn, the time of departure arrived. Everyone gathered at the cave entrance, ready to set off. Ace looked at Lin Ye: “The World Government will not give up. The Five Elders will definitely use all their forces to hunt us down. Are you sure you want to go to Blue Sea Town alone?”

Lin Ye held the Dawn Blade tightly and responded calmly: “We have taken the first step, there is no turning back. Moreover,” he looked into the distance, “I have a feeling that the Dawn Blade is leading me there, as if it knows what to do next.”

Robin distributed special life cards to everyone: “These are made of materials I found on Moonlight Island. They are more stable than ordinary life cards and can sense the other party at a longer distance. If you encounter danger or make an important discovery, notify everyone immediately.”
