Chapter 209: d with different meanings
Inside the secret room behind the door.
This is Rocks D. Gibbek's private treasury, the core of the wealth he amassed over decades by plundering Celestial Dragons from around the world.
Inside the secret room, the dazzling jewels were almost blinding!
The mountains of gold and silver treasures shone brightly under the torchlight.
Countless treasures of gold and silver were piled up to form golden sand dunes, with all sorts of gems mixed in among them.
At the top of the gold and silver sea, you can also see some famous swords and rare objects that only exist in legends.
A samurai sword with an ancient scabbard lay among the pile of gems, exuding an ominous and menacing aura.
Inside an antique wooden box lay a fruit that was entirely black, covered with eerie spiral patterns, and exuded a chilling magic; it was clearly a powerful Devil Fruit.
These are treasures that could drive anyone crazy.
These are the private treasures of Rocks that Shiki the Golden Lion had always longed for.
However, the three men standing in this treasure trove at this moment did not even have the interest to take a second look.
This wealth, enough to buy dozens of kingdoms, was no different from a pebble on the roadside in their eyes.
The three of them casually found a few treasure chests filled with gold coins and sat down.
The massive stone gate behind them slammed shut under the control of a mechanism.
Rumble—!
A dull, loud noise echoed in the sealed room, isolating it from all outside sounds.
The entire world was now down to just the three of them.
There was also the soft crackling sound of a burning torch.
silence.
Absolute silence.
Lox D. Gibbeck was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
His massive body leaned against a throne made of pure gold, his face radiating unrestrained, maniacal laughter.
"Speak up, brother!"
Rocks's voice was husky and magnetic, and sounded exceptionally clear in the enclosed space.
"What do you want to know? Here, in this forbidden territory that belongs only to me, Roger and I will tell you everything! Hahahaha!"
Roger nodded solemnly, abandoning his usual nonchalant expression, his clear eyes sparkling with an unprecedented seriousness.
He sat cross-legged on an equally enormous treasure chest, with his sword "Ace" resting horizontally on his knees.
Those eyes, which always sparkled with a sense of adventure, now seemed unfathomable.
"That's right."
Roger said in a deep voice.
There's no need for us to hide anything from each other.
This is the highest promise that two powerful figures at sea made to Chen Ye.
On this vast ocean, there is no one else but each other who could make them both make such a statement at the same time.
Chen Ye didn't beat around the bush at all.
He calmly glanced at the two people in front of him and directly asked the question.
What exactly does the "D" mean?
In a word.
Just one sentence.
The moment the words fell.
The air in the sealed room was instantly sucked out, and even the flickering flames seemed to freeze for a moment.
The maniacal laughter on Rocks' face and the smile on Roger's lips vanished in that instant.
Instead, there was an unprecedented seriousness.
A solemnity that touches the very essence of the soul.
Lockes slowly raised his hand, his rough fingers rubbing the steel-needle-like stubble on his chin, making a soft "rustling" sound.
His eyes became incredibly deep, as if they pierced through time and space, seeing the history buried by blood and fire eight hundred years ago.
Memories surged up like a tide.
His eyes became incredibly complex.
half an hour.
He finally spoke!
Regarding the meaning of 'D'...
"I've seen something from the fragments of memories I inherited from 'Davy Jones'."
"David Jones?"
The moment the name was uttered by Rocks, Roger, standing to the side, showed an expression of complete unfamiliarity for the first time.
He searched through all his knowledge and experience, only to find that this name was a blank in his memory.
On the high seas, there are powerful figures unknown to Gol D. Roger.
Rocks completely ignored Roger's astonishment.
Locke glanced at him but ignored his question, continuing to explain to Chen Ye as if only Chen Ye was qualified to know this secret.
He went on to explain.
"D, strictly speaking, is not a surname."
"It's an alliance!"
"It's also a kind of...passing on of will!"
Every word struck Roger's heart like a hammer blow.
alliance?
will?
But what Lox said next was the real bombshell.
He abruptly changed the subject, his eyes becoming extremely aggressive.
That gaze swept over Roger, even across the air around him, as if there stood another nemesis he couldn't see but could clearly sense!
"but!"
Locke's voice suddenly rose, filled with unquestionable arrogance and domineering power.
"Me, Roger, and that bastard Garp from the Navy!"
"The 'D' we inherit is completely different!"
"Completely different!"
Before he finished speaking, Locke's enormous, fan-like hand transformed into thick fingers, which he sharply tapped his chest, which was harder than steel.
Boom!
A muffled thud.
It is a war drum.
His face bore an innate, supreme arrogance that looked down upon all living beings.
"What I inherited is the 'D' that belongs to 'Davis Jones'!"
That tone was a declaration of truth.
An undeniable fact.
David Jones!
This name represents darkness, tyranny, and an ambition to devour everything!
It is the ultimate source of his power and will, Rocks D. Giebeck!
His tone carried an innate, domineering arrogance and pride, as if his name alone represented supreme glory!
Then, he slowly turned his head, his eyes, burning with ambition, fixed on Roger, whose face was full of confusion.
He uttered a conjecture, word by word, that greatly excited Roger.
"And you, Roger..."
"If I'm not mistaken..."
"You most likely represent another lineage—"
"Joyboy!"
Joy Boy?
This is a completely unfamiliar name.
A bolt of lightning that appeared out of nowhere instantly cleaved Roger's thoughts, leaving his mind blank.
The expression on his face froze completely at that moment.
Shocked, bewildered, incredulous.
Ultimately, they coalesced into a completely blank expression.
But he never imagined that he would have a legacy, and that it would even have such a specific name!
Moreover, he had never heard of this name before!
"Joyboy..."
Roger blurted it out unconsciously, his voice filled with pure bewilderment and emptiness.
Those eyes, which always shone with confidence and fearlessness, were now completely blank.
He just stared blankly at Lox, his mouth unconsciously agape.
Several seconds passed before he seemed to find his voice again, and he almost blurted out the question.
"Joyboy..."
"...Who is that?"
