Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece

Robin smiled gently, smoothed the stray hairs at his temples, and looked out the window at the misty mountain peak. He touched his backpack, his eyes full of anticipation.

Rangiku stretched and hung the bottle on her waist, saying lazily, "Alright, let's just consider it a workout and see what this legendary historical text is all about."

The four bid farewell to Cai Yi and followed the mountain path from which the animals had emerged, climbing the steps to the top.

The sacred mountain that protects the Flower Kingdom is much steeper than I imagined. The mountain road is lined with lush trees, and towering ancient trees block out the sun. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the branches and leaves, making it look very serene.

The forest was filled with the fresh scent of grass, trees, and earth, occasionally broken by the clear chirping of birds, and wildflowers of unknown species bloomed freely. It was clear that this place was rarely visited, or rather, almost no one came here.

Connor, on the other hand, was like a wildcat that had broken free of its reins. One moment he was chasing after fluttering butterflies, and the next he was squatting by the roadside, curiously observing the snails that were slowly crawling by, chattering away. Then, to everyone's surprise, he ate one in one bite.

Bai Yu and the other two patiently followed behind her, watching her innocent and carefree side. Of course, they could only wish good luck to the insects that were eaten.

Robin walked exceptionally slowly, her gaze fixed on both sides of the mountain path: "The plants on this mountain look to be at most seven or eight hundred years old. Did they really only appear during that period?"

Rangiku, on the other hand, seemed rather bored. As she drank, she looked at Robin's focused expression and then at Connor, who was hopping around ahead of her, and couldn't help but laugh, "I say, you two, one busy looking at the bugs and the other busy looking at the mounds of earth and trees, this mountain path is definitely not boring at all."

"And there's this guy who never stops drinking."

After walking for several hours, the mountain path gradually became gentler, and the faint sound of flowing water could be heard ahead.

After turning another bend, a clear view suddenly opened up before us: a small, crystal-clear lake nestled atop the mountain. The water was so clear that it reflected the blue sky, white clouds, and surrounding trees, like a piece of emerald green.

Although the lake is not large, there is an island in the center of the lake. On the island stands a huge stone tablet, which is ten feet tall. The tablet is blue-green in color and covered with dense ancient square characters. The characters exude a mysterious and solemn aura.

This is the stone tablet Cai Yi mentioned, and it is also the target of Bai Yu and Robin's journey: the Poneglyph.

If it's not red, then it's not part of the historical text of the road sign, and we don't know if it's one of the nine historical texts that records important historical information.

Bai Yu's steps subconsciously stopped, and the three-tomoe Sharingan quietly appeared in his eyes, his pupils locking tightly onto the words on the stone tablet.

Although it's definitely not related to the stone tablet of the Uchiha at the Naka Shrine, I still instinctively want to use my Sharingan to take a look.

He could clearly sense that the stone tablet exuded an ancient and profound aura, but he couldn't discern anything else.

Nico Robin's breath hitched slightly. She strode forward, almost lunging at the stone tablet, her fingertips trembling as she traced the cold words. Her eyes were filled with excitement. In all these years of hiding, she had only ever seen one piece of historical text.

She gazed at the inscription on the stone tablet, muttering to herself, "That's right... this is the Poneglyph! The real Poneglyph!"

Rangiku also dropped her languid expression. She walked to the stone tablet, looked up at the huge stone tablet, and exclaimed in amazement, "Good heavens, how did they manage to transport such a huge stone tablet to the top of the mountain? The ancients of the Flower Country certainly had some skill."

Connor, however, was drawn to the small fish by the lake. She squatted down by the lake and reached out her chubby little hands to scoop up the fish, only to splash herself with water.

Bai Yu slowly walked to Robin's side on the stone tablet. He couldn't understand the words, but Robin's reaction had already given him the answer.

He turned to look at Robin, and seeing that she was engrossed in her own world, he did not disturb her, but simply stood quietly to the side, his gaze sweeping over every word on the stone tablet.

Uchiha Hakuha was still pondering when Robin said, "Actually, these texts... record the founding history of the Flower Country!"

Bai Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Robin pointing to the text on the stone tablet, explaining: "It says here that the founding monarch of the Flower Kingdom was originally the leader of a large country from the West Sea. Because of a major event that is difficult to describe in words, he came to this place and established a country."

She paused, then pointed to another inscription on the stone tablet and said, "It also says here that the founding monarch, before his death, said that one day a choice would be left to the people of the Flower Country, hoping that the future leader of the Flower Country would always stand on the right side. It also indicates that there is a very important historical text in Alabasta on the Grand Line, which records important information."

Robin turned to look at Shiraha: "You know what? I've been searching for these historical texts that record important information, and this is one of them. Next, I want to find the route to the Grand Line and then head to Alabasta."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu unconsciously stroked his chin with his fingertips, his three-tomoe Sharingan slowly fading away, but a deep thought remained in his eyes.

"Alabasta..."

He knew the name and that the historical records here contained information about Hades, but he still wanted to go and see it. He knew Robin wouldn't believe him if he told her directly.

Then he said, "That is a major power located in the first half of the Grand Line. Now it seems that it is specifically mentioned in the Poneglyphs, and the secrets hidden there are probably much deeper than we imagined."

"I've heard that the Grand Line is easy to get into but hard to get out of. Not only is the climate unpredictable, but it's also full of powerful pirates and marines. Without enough confidence, we'd probably be doomed as soon as we stepped in. Besides, we lack real ship doctors and navigators."

Matsumoto Rangiku flicked her wrist, and the hilt of Xueji's sword was faintly visible in her hand.

"My strength is enough to deal with ordinary people, but it's not enough against those who can destroy the world."

"To become stronger, Connor can grow bigger and protect everyone!"

As he spoke, he spread his arms wide, mimicking the way a dragon spreads its wings, which made everyone chuckle.

Bai Yu raised his hand and rubbed Connor's head, his gaze falling on Robin, and said solemnly, "Robin is right, we must go to Alabasta, but not now. The Grand Line is not a simple place. Without the strength to match it, let alone finding the Poneglyphs, even surviving will be a problem."

He paused, then continued, "This piece of the Poneglyph mentions that a major event will occur in the future, and the leader of the Flower Country will have to make a choice. This major event is probably related to the World Government and the Void Century. We must improve our strength to the point where we can stand firm in the face of the storm before that happens."

Robin looked up at Bai Yu, the excitement in her eyes gradually turning into determination: "Bai Yu is right, I was too hasty. The Poneglyphs won't disappear, but our chances are numbered."

Her years of hiding and fleeing have made her understand better than anyone that without powerful backing, even if she finds all the historical texts, she will not be able to reveal the truth to everyone and clear Ohara's name.
