He took Alexander and Dobby out the forest in which a giant whale-shaped tree was. He led the way to the inside of it.
"These pathways have been like this for hundreds of years. This forest is also protected by the guardians."
After a while, they came to a big chamber on whose center, a big red cube was situated.
Alexander couldn't recognize the language written on it. ~Ghost, scan it and decipher it.~
Ghost immediately replied to him, "Sir, there is not enough data to decode this language. This language doesn't match any existing language in the world."
Alexander walked to the cube and used his speaking power on it. It told him what the cube was and that there were four of them.
Duke Hitsugisukan started to tell Alexander about it as well, "These stones are called Poneglyphs. Studying them is banned by the world government. From that Kozuki clan seal, you can see that it has a relationship with Wano."
Alexander interrupted, "Let me guess, they made this 800 years ago?"
Duke Hitsugisukan nodded. "Yes, these red ones are called Road Poneglyphs. There are four of them and each points to a different location. Once you join all the four points with an imaginary line, where it bisects is where the last Island in Grand Line is. There are two more types of Poneglyphs.
"Historical Poneglyphs that reveal pieces of ancient history as well as messages written by ancient people. Instructional Poneglyphs, that contain instructions and/or clues about the locations of Historical Poneglyphs."
Alexander had started to build up a theory in his mind. That whatever was written on these stones was crucial to know what happened in the void century. Making it more believable was the fact that the World Government was trying to hide it."
"Then people on Wano know how to read it?" Alexander asked.
"Yes, but not all of them. Only the current Shogun of Wano and daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country, of Kozuki clan, know how to read and write this."
"Thank you, Duke Hitsugisukan, I really appreciate that you showed this to me. I will head to Wano now." Alexander decided.
"Wait, don't you need a copy of this?" Duke Hitsugisukan asked.
"Hahaha... I already have that, my friend. Look."
Suddenly a huge piece of paper appeared. On it was an image of Poneglyphs. It looked as real as a photograph.
"How?"
"...magic..." Alexander whispered.
He put the paper back in his pocket and shook Duke's hand, "I should leave now. Thank you for your help. If you ever find yourself in trouble, use this to contact me. Okay?"
He gave him a two-way mirror. Duke Hitsugisukan delicately held it and looked at Alexander leaving.
"Best of luck on your journey, Admiral." He waved his hand.
...
Alexander flew directly to the face of Zunesha. "Thank you, my old friend. I should repay you for your help."
Alexander fixed Zunesha's eyes. They had sunken back into his face for some reason.
Alexander looked at Z, "Z, my boy. You asked for a miracle. I gave you one. Go and check them."
Z ran into the house and found his wife and son hiding in the bathroom with the door locked. He broke the door and hugged them tightly.
"You're fine... You're alive..." His eyes were still tearing up.
Alexander entered the house and gave the three a calming draught. Then he looked around the town. There was not much damage now and loss of life was minimal. Most of the dead bodies belonged to the pirates.
Alexander then dragged the pirate captain to the town center. "What's your name?"
"Hah... I am Henry the Great. The captain of Bloody pirates. You can't kill me, Admiral. I ate cloud-cloud fruit. My body is made of clouds."
"Why did you attack this place? Don't you know it is heavily guarded by the Marines?" Alexander questioned.
"Hehahaha... What a joke. Guarded? Hahaha... your own Rear Admiral stationed here made a deal with me. To let me loot for a 30 percent cut. He just asked us to leave Admiral Z's family alone." Henry revealed.
"Let me guess, you thought you could become more famous if you kill Z's family? So you went to kill them anyway?" Alexander stated without any emotion on his face.
Z heard everything and came to punch Henry. But Henry turned into a cloud.
"You think clouds can't be killed?" Alexander asked.
Then he just tapped his finger on Henry's head. Suddenly he started to turn into ice. "Beat him Z."
Z gladly obliged and started punching Henry. This time Henry was grunting in pain.
Finally, when Henry was half dead. Alexander cut his hand and feet and healed him.
"Not so great now? I will throw you into the sea, let's see if clouds can float." He picked him up and threw with as much force as he could. Henry would soon drown and painfully die some kilometers away.
Z looked at Alexander, "Our own people sold us? A Rear Admiral? This is beyond simple corruption."
"Don't go and kill him now, Z. You will be made a criminal. However, I can go and do it. Nobody has balls to mess with me." Alexander proposed.
Z looked at him thankfully, he suddenly bowed, "Thank you, Sensei. But you have already done enough. I will deal with this myself."
"Argh... Get up, kid. Now go see your wife and son. Also, shift them to a safer town. This is not a secure area now." Alexander suggested to him and left him to investigate on his own.
He came back to his ship still near Zou, "Bald Chad, towards Wano at full speed."
