Pirates: Green Bull Marshal

"This is actually an artificial cave?"

Vidal came to the depths of the cave, and with the green light on his body, he discovered that the rock walls around and above his head were carved with various Gothic-style horrific reliefs.

Groups of bats flying wantonly, each one with a twisted and painful face, as if it were a ferocious face trying to break free from the rock wall.

Surrounded by them, there was a typical Gothic church with a tall spire. He recognized it at a glance as the one in the town.

There was also a man standing at the top of the tower wearing a cloak and gentleman's clothes, but with a pair of fangs exposed. His eyes were fixed on this uninvited young man.

But Vidal didn't care about this. Not to mention that this was just a dead sculpture, even if he really came to life, it would be nothing.

What he was more concerned about now was the large sarcophagus directly in front of the church relief, and the three graves on the left with black crosses on them.

The atmosphere here was a bit strange. Vidal walked over with a domineering attitude, and soon saw lines of small words densely carved on the sarcophagus.

These words were a bit too many, and Vidal stood there for more than thirty minutes before reading them from beginning to end.

But the content is not boring at all. After reading the entire article, I did not feel the passage of time at all.

The general meaning is that a man who claimed to be Balorik Vladimir was seriously injured because he was hunted down by the newly established World Government, and he became impatient with life.

He secretly came to this island with his son, and then built himself a mausoleum and this sarcophagus in the mountain.

As for how to live impatiently.

Hmm... It is said that because of eating the vampire fruit, he has lived for more than two hundred years, experienced everything, and seen everything that needs to be seen. This world is not interesting to him at all.

The main reason is that he is being madly hunted by the World Government. Although he is not bad, if he continues to walk around outside, he will be caught and killed sooner or later.

But he felt that there was no point in dying like this, so he might as well plan his own way of dying and pass on some things.

The first is this vampire fruit. According to Vladimir, he would lie in his coffin with a few apples before his death.

The day after his death, let his son open the sarcophagus again and take away the fruit, and then bury his body aside.

As long as future generations follow this process, they will be able to ensure that the vampire fruit will always be owned by the Baloric family.

At the same time, it is noted that once future generations choose to eat the fruit, it means that they are willing to shoulder the guardian mission of the Baloric family.

One is to protect the secret of the mausoleum, the other is to protect the true history, and the third is to protect the inheritance of the clan.

That’s all.

Vidal first digested the information, thinking that the first and third items were easy to understand, but where was the real history of the second item?

However, I thought that as long as I pushed open the sarcophagus, there should be answers inside.

Vidal reached out his hand to push up the sarcophagus without hesitation, but the strength in his upper hand began to disappear quickly, which made him quickly withdraw his palm.

"Is this a sea-floor stone?!" Vidal looked at the sarcophagus in shock. Now he was even more curious about the contents inside.

He immediately took out a thick and long wooden stick to hold up the coffin board, and then used a little force to push it open. Soon the scene inside came into view.

Hey, why is it useless? There are no remains here, not even bones, but there is a purple-red fruit with spiral patterns on its surface.

Needless to say, this must be the vampire fruit. In addition, there is a red, super thick-looking book.

The seven characters "Vladimir's Diary" were simply written in bold black letters on the cover.

Vidal naturally thought that the content in the book should be the history to be protected. It seems that Redfield has been here before.

However, he just buried the remains of his predecessors, but he didn't eat the vampire fruit, because he didn't know if he had read the content in the book.

It wasn't until he ran away from Impel Down City decades later that he returned to his hometown and took away the fruit in order to regain his youth.

As for the content in the book, Vidal guessed that he had probably read it, which could also explain why Redfield always stayed alone and acted very low-key.

I just don’t know what happened next and I was imprisoned in Impel Down. Why did I create such a commotion and fight for the Pirate King?

"I definitely want to take this Devil Fruit away, but this 'Vladimir Diary' cannot be taken away!"

He didn't even need to read the contents inside, he had an idea of ​​what it involved, so he planned to read it in one go before putting it back in the sarcophagus.

Having made a decision in his mind, he first found rocks to seal the entrance of the cave, and then made himself a set of tables and chairs inside.

I thought that when I left after watching it, I would cover up the surroundings.

Finally, he contacted Rogers and said that he would spend another day in Sleepy Town to restore the environment on the island that was damaged by the battle.

After making these preparations, Vidal sat on the chair, with the vampire fruit of the phantom species on the table.

Immediately, I took a deep breath and opened the first page of my diary!

The two hundred years of experience of a strong man who lived more than 900 years ago appeared in front of Vidal page after page in this dark and deserted tomb.

The green light not only illuminated every line of the diary, but also illuminated his expressionless face and sparkling eyes.

He spent a whole day and night looking at the tomb, and it wasn't until the next morning that he walked out of the cave with squinted eyes.

But there was nothing in his hands, because the Devil Fruit was hidden in his body.

He came down the mountain after half a day, but the environment on the mountain changed from its previous bare appearance and was covered by countless dense vegetation and trees.

There is also a clear and tranquil lake in the distance.

At the bottom of the mountain, Vidal looked back for the last time, "Is Joey Boy's partner Vladimir..."

He learned a lot overnight, a lot of things he shouldn't have known.

For example, Im's existence, origin, abilities, the truth about the one hundred years of blankness, and other shocking information.

He originally thought that as long as he had the world's top combat power, as long as he could use the Navy organization to his advantage, and then unite with other forces, he could achieve his ultimate goal.

But now it seems that these are still not enough.

Fortunately, he has understood the gap between the two sides. The World Government, an organization that has existed for hundreds of years, is no longer vague and mysterious in his eyes.

"I really didn't expect that a small sleepy ancient town would give me such a harvest, but in this case, that Redfield..." Vidal's eyes flashed with coldness.

Once Redfield's surname and life experience, as well as the secrets of Sleeping Ancient Town, are discovered by the World Government, he, who has been here before and stayed for a few days, is likely to be implicated.

Although this possibility is unlikely, it does not mean that it is impossible. The key is that if these are leaked before he is still young, it will bring unimaginable disaster to him, and even implicate his family 100%.

So Redfield is a risk to him, a living person who can be detonated at any time, a risk to his own life and that of his whole family!

Moreover, why would Redfield be captured by the World Government and taken to Impel Down in the future?

It's scary to think about it.

"This vampire fruit is temporarily sealed. It cannot be left to Redfield, nor can it be eaten by others until I can bear everything."

Vidal turned around and walked resolutely towards Sleeping Ancient Town.

"It's time to leave!"
