One Piece: Invincible Starting From The Fruit Of Words-Chapter 222 Fallen Uranus!

After the dilapidated city collapsed, a colossal figure was revealed beneath the ruins.

It was an enormous skeleton, stretching tens of thousands of meters long—so vast that its end was nearly impossible to see.

Even though only bones remained, they still exuded an overwhelmingly terrifying and oppressive aura.

As its presence erupted, tens of thousands of pirates stood frozen in shock, unable to move.

At that moment, a horrifying image appeared in their minds—a monstrous dragon of unimaginable size.

When their gazes fell upon its massive, empty eye sockets, they felt as if their very souls were being dragged into the abyss.

"Wake up!"

Lucifer’s furious shout echoed, snapping the pirates out of their daze.

Many stumbled backward in terror before collapsing onto the ground, gasping for breath.

Even after regaining consciousness, they felt lingering fear coursing through them.

Unknowingly, their clothes had already been soaked in cold sweat.

"W-What kind of monster is this?"

"This is terrifying!"

"Is it... a dragon?"

"But isn’t it way too big?"

"Weibull’s Green Dragon is nothing compared to this!"

"It’s not just the size—the sheer aura of destruction and malice is on an entirely different level!"

"Captain Lucifer, do you know what this is?"

Enel, Weibull, and the other high-ranking crew members turned to Lucifer with questioning gazes.

Lucifer remained silent, staring blankly at the massive skeleton in front of him.

He already had an answer in mind.

"This... should be Uranus."

"The legendary Ancient Weapon—Uranus!"

"However, this Uranus is dead... and it must have been for at least 800 years."

"Uranus?!"

Upon hearing the name, legendary figures like Shiryu of the Rain, Avalo Pizarro, and Sanjuan Wolf widened their eyes in shock.

They were all infamous pirates, each possessing considerable knowledge of the world’s secrets.

They knew exactly what Uranus represented.

The three Ancient Weapons were said to have the power to destroy the world.

Among them, Uranus was known as the most fearsome—revered as the strongest of the three.

"I never imagined Uranus would die here..."

The Red Earl, Patrick Redfield, gazed at the skeleton, his eyes burning with a mixture of shock and fascination.

"Yes... those who seek Uranus will inevitably fall."

"But who could have killed it?"

"Uranus had the power to destroy the world. To take it down must have come at an immense cost!"

"If someone managed to kill Uranus, it means the World Government still harbors hidden powers far beyond our imagination."

"Even after 800 years, Uranus’s remains still radiate this terrifying aura..."

"I can’t even fathom how terrifying it must have been at its peak."

As the officers of the Nether Pirates discussed among themselves, their initial shock began to subside.

However, a deep sense of caution toward the World Government began to take root in their minds.

After the great battle at the century’s end, many in the Nether Pirates had come to view the World Government with contempt.

They believed that, with the loss of Marine elites, the government had been left defenseless and vulnerable.

But the remains of Uranus before them served as a grim reminder.

If the World Government had managed to slay a monster of this magnitude 800 years ago, then it undoubtedly concealed a far greater history of power than anyone knew.

Underestimating them would be a fatal mistake.

"Keep searching! See if there’s anything else hidden here!"

"Where’s the treasure? Where is the treasure left by Joy Boy?"

"Why is the legendary One Piece still nowhere to be found?"

As Lucifer continued to examine Uranus’s remains, members of the Ghost Pirates dispersed across the ruins, searching for the legendary treasure.

Following the skeletal remains, Lucifer eventually discovered a massive black mound within its ribcage.

The surface was covered in layers of mud and vines, obscuring its true appearance.

"What is this?"

Lucifer felt a familiar energy emanating from within the mound.

With a single wave of his hand, he cleared away the mud and vines—revealing what lay beneath.

"A Crimson Stone? A Poneglyph?"

Indeed, the massive mound was actually a crimson Poneglyph. Its true nature had been hidden beneath years of debris and plant life.

"A Poneglyph of this size?!"

Ordinary Poneglyphs were only a few meters tall, but this one towered five to six hundred meters high—truly resembling a small mountain.

Ancient characters were inscribed on every side of the stone, densely packed, forming an intricate web of history.

"Nico Robin, come here."

Lucifer called out, and Robin immediately rushed to his side.

When she laid eyes on the colossal Poneglyph, her expression froze in sheer disbelief.

"It’s yours now," Lucifer ordered. "Translate everything written on it."

"You should be the first historian in 800 years to reach Laugh Tale... and the second person ever to decipher the Crimson Poneglyph."

"Understood, Captain Lucifer!"

Without hesitation, Robin began reading the inscriptions.

The massive stone was covered in vast amounts of text, meaning the translation process would take time.

Taking advantage of this delay, Lucifer continued his exploration of Laugh Tale.

Soaring into the sky, he scanned the entire island from above, taking in every detail of the long-forgotten land.

Ruined buildings sprawled in every direction, extending outward from the island’s central point.

Though time had reduced the once-glorious city to rubble, faint traces of its past grandeur could still be seen.

It was clear—this had once been an extraordinary kingdom.

A civilization that had flourished 800 years ago.

And yet, it had been completely wiped from history.

The World Government had risen to power by overthrowing the previous rulers.

And this...

This was the very land where the rulers of the past had fallen.

"The One Piece..."

"Is it really still here?"

Lucifer had always felt that the legendary treasure left behind by Roger wouldn’t be something as simple as gold and silver.

If the so-called "One Piece" were merely riches, it would be too shallow—hardly worth the obsession of so many legendary pirates.

Figures like Kaido and Big Mom—each one a dominant force in the sea—had no need for wealth. If they wanted treasure, all it would take was a single command. Even if they were presented with mountains of gold and silver, they wouldn’t spare it a second glance.

Therefore, the great treasure Roger left behind had to hold a deeper meaning.

Perhaps it was just a single sentence, a story, a piece of history—a truth.

Yet this story, or this history, had the power to change the world.

That was why Roger had hidden it, waiting for future generations to uncover and reveal it to the world.

It was just a hunch.

But as Lucifer stepped onto Raftel, seeing the remains of Uranus and the Poneglyph, that premonition grew stronger.

Suddenly, Nico Robin’s voice called out.

"Captain, I’ve finished reading it."

Lucifer descended from the sky, landing beside Robin.

She then began to translate the inscriptions carved into the Crimson Poneglyph.

This Poneglyph was unique. It recorded the history of the lost kingdom that once existed on Raftel, the missing century of history, and even the truth about Uranus.

Eight hundred years ago, Raftel was home to a mighty kingdom that ruled the entire world.

Its people were of a special race—each one extraordinarily powerful, unmatched by any force in existence. The world had no means to resist them and could only submit. novelbuddy.cσ๓

But as time passed, the kingdom’s rule grew more tyrannical, oppressing the other races to the brink of destruction.

It was then that humanity and the various races of the world united in rebellion, rising against their oppressors.

At the forefront of this uprising stood a man—Joy Boy.

To defeat the ruthless rulers, Joy Boy gathered manpower and resources to construct the ancient battleship Pluton.

He also sought the aid of the first mermaid princess, who wielded the power to control the Sea Kings. With her ability playing a crucial role in the war, she was given the title Poseidon.

But the enemy, too, had a fearsome weapon.

Uranus—the monstrous dragon raised by the ruling kingdom—served as their ultimate weapon of war, spreading destruction across the battlefield.

The war that erupted eight hundred years ago shook the world itself.

In the end, the tyrannical kingdom was overthrown, and its entire royal bloodline was wiped out.

However, on the verge of victory, Joy Boy was betrayed.

His own trusted generals—twenty kings from different nations—turned against him and seized power for themselves.

After killing Joy Boy, they formed a new order, declaring themselves the rulers of the world.

Thus, the World Government was born.

With their rule established, the twenty kings systematically erased every trace of Joy Boy’s existence—along with the entire history of the tyrannical kingdom they had overthrown.

This was the truth behind the Void Century.

Centuries passed, and the rule of the World Government endured.

But history is doomed to repeat itself.

The dragon slayers of the past had now become the dragon—a new tyrannical force that ruled the world with an iron fist.
