The curly-haired Five Elder said, "The last person to collect all the Poneglyphs that recorded the world's history was the Pirate King Roger. According to reliable sources, he might have distributed these Poneglyphs to other members of the Roger Pirates, or perhaps to that Grimm…"
"Ah…"
The kimono-clad Five Elder pushed up his glasses and rubbed his temples. "But it's also possible that Roger discarded the Poneglyphs after deciphering their contents. We previously received a report that Roger met with Grimm before heading to the Final Island, and then met with Whitebeard!"
"This time, Grimm meeting with those who might be historians makes it possible that he has obtained the secrets from the Poneglyphs," the blond Five Elder said with a heavy tone and deep concern.
"If that's the case, it's even more necessary to eliminate him!"
The long white-haired Five Elder's eyes flashed with a sharp, fierce glint. "We didn't act against him when he was hunting pirates extensively in the Grand Line before, but the situation is completely different now!"
"After dealing with Redfield, he'll be next, right?" the curly-haired Five Elder voiced the thoughts of everyone present.
"Should we send people to monitor Grimm? And keep an eye on those historians!"
"Agghh…"
Three days later, at the same location.
"It's confirmed. Grimm did indeed go to Ohara with those historians and is very close to one named Olvia," the curly-haired Five Elder said.
"Olvia is a historian from Ohara. She's been searching for Poneglyphs in the Grand Line for the past five years," the curly-haired Five Elder stroked his chin and continued with the latest intelligence: "Grimm only stayed in Ohara for two days, spent three days with an eight-year-old girl named Nico Robin, and then left!"
"I must mention one thing: this Nico Robin is the daughter of the historian Nico Olvia and also the youngest historian in Ohara."
The kimono-clad Five Elder showed a bewildered expression. "Why did Grimm meet with Nico Robin alone?"
"We don't know!" the curly-haired Five Elder said. "Nico Robin has never had a father. Everyone on Ohara knows this. We suspect that Grimm is her father."
After a pause, the curly-haired Five Elder continued, "Five years ago, Grimm saved Olvia's life in the first half of the Grand Line. It's highly likely they knew each other before!"
"Had an illegitimate daughter at thirteen? It does sound absurd, but not impossible!" the Five Elder with the "Mountain" shaped mustache also said.
"I believe the existence of Ohara seriously threatens the World Government. I suggest we destroy it, especially since Grimm has also interfered," said the Five Elder with short blond hair after a long period of thought!
"Aghh, seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"Agreed. Kill all the historians and eliminate all potential dangers!" the kimono-clad Five Elder added as a final statement.
...
Two months later.
Sitting at the bow of the ship, preparing to head to the New World, Grimm looked at the morning newspaper.
[Ohara, the birthplace of the devil intent on reviving the Ancient Weapons and destroying the world, is annihilated]
[Devil Child, Nico Robin, only seven years old, sinks 6 warships, bounty: 230,000,000 Belly]
"Heh heh, Robin, you truly didn't disappoint me!" Grimm tore the newspaper to shreds and threw it into the sea.
Two months ago, he found Nico Robin and easily gained her trust. A little girl who lacked affection could be easily persuaded. He naturally modified the "Hana Hana no Mi" within her.
The DNF "Emperor of the season" ability had awakened within her.
In the original story, Nico Robin didn't truly destroy warships. But this time, judging by her bounty, those warships were likely sunk by her.
"Hahahaha, the world is getting crazier and crazier!" Grimm couldn't help but laugh!
However, another month passed, and another major news shook the Three Calamities and even Whitebeard.
The Great Pirate—Shiki the Shiki, who was on par with Roger, Whitebeard, and Redfield—had escaped from prison!
Impel Down, the legend of the underwater prison, had been broken.
On this day's newspaper, besides Shiki's bounty poster, there were also close-ups of his two severed legs, bound by Seastone, left behind in Impel Down.
"Oh, he's out, Shiki!"
Seeing these two close-ups, Grimm suddenly thought of Shiki's historical ending… It seemed he lost to the protagonist's plot armor. Whether he died or not was unknown!
Thinking of this, Grimm couldn't help but mutter to himself, "No way, seriously? Even the deep-sea prison couldn't hold you, and you were defeated by Gear Third Luffy? That's… there's a limit to going easy…"
"Let me be the one to defeat you, Shiki!"
...
One of the seven magnetic paths from the Grand Line to Sabaody Archipelago.
Redfield, who had already seen the scene Roger witnessed before his death in Loguetown, intended to embark on a journey towards becoming the "Pirate King" once more.
However, his target was an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit in its "Vampire Form."
On a commandeered pirate ship, Redfield sat in a chair, legs crossed, looking at the day's newspaper and muttering to himself, "I originally thought I wouldn't have another chance to fight you, Shiki… With your legs cut off, you should no longer be a Great Swordsman!"
Hmm?"
Suddenly, Redfield's pupils contracted, and he said with slight displeasure to the helmsman behind him, "Why have we slowed down?"
"Yes, I am very sorry!"
The pirate quickly apologized. He didn't dare to offend the distinguished gentleman before him. He was the helmsman of this pirate ship. On this ship, besides the cook, doctor, and navigator, all other combat personnel had become fish food. He swore he didn't want to be the next.
...
Sabaody Archipelago, in a tavern found everywhere.
The man wearing glasses reflected the light in his lenses as he looked at the newspaper's content and said, "You're out, Shiki. But why are you coming out now? What are you planning?"
"Rayleigh…"
From the doorway, a child's voice, though sounding very awkward, called out.
...
At this time, in the New World, on a solitary island extremely close to Marine Branch G1.
Shiki, dressed in a prisoner's uniform, tied his two swords to his severed legs while enduring intense pain. Although tears welled up in his eyes from the pain, he couldn't help but smile.
After tying the swords to his legs, Shiki struggled to stand up, facing the setting sun over the sea horizon, and then spread his arms to embrace the world.
"Gahahahahahahaha… New World, I, Shiki the Shiki, have returned!"
After laughing for several minutes, the Shiki calmed down slightly. He pulled down a news bird to check the contents first, then muttered to himself, "I should rendezvous with Indigo and the others first. After that, I'll think about… having a chat with that bastard Whitebeard and catching up!"
