One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons.

What is "seeing, hearing and color"?

One of the three colors of domineering is the power of being able to keenly feel the opponent's "voice".

Perceive attacks, predict the opponent's next move, perceive the strength and thoughts and emotions of creatures, distinguish the location and number of objects outside the field of vision, etc...

These are the basic abilities of seeing and hearing Haki.

Furthermore, those such as [Fujitora] can also detect the good and evil of the opponent, and lock the location of meteorites in space.

According to legend, if you practice your knowledge and knowledge to the extreme, you can even predict the future!

The above is people's understanding of "seeing, hearing, color and domineering".

Lindsay thought so before.

But when he came into contact with Shimen and experienced the "dominance of ancient sights and sounds", his ideas suddenly became clear.

That's it!

The essence of ancient knowledge and domineering is "music score"...

……

Music scores are the traces of musicians.

They recorded notes on paper and constructed various tunes to express different emotions.

Even though time flies by, the settled tune will never change again!

Music is like that.

The same is true for the "traces" left by everything.

Just like one invisible "line" after another, its end point is the present moment of things!

The ancient ability to see and hear color is to capture that trace and then allow the user's perception to go back.

which is--

Meet the past!

……

"Ordinary seeing, hearing, and color can 'perceive the present';"

"The strongest sense of knowledge can 'predict the future';"

"And the ancient ability to see and hear domineering..."

"'Peering into the past'?"

Lindsay fiddled with the traces around her, and her crimson eyes shone with curiosity.

"How far into the past can I see?"

Lindsay squinted her eyes and turned to look at Fujitora aside.

He saw the blind swordsman, who had just drawn his sword and used gravity to destroy the mountain wall behind the stone gate.

But things that are more distant are already vague.

Lindsay understood.

Just like the ability of top-level Observers to foresee the future, ancient Observers can only see a very short past.

"what!"

Lindsay grinned, feeling that everything was getting more and more interesting.

During those long years, he was used to "thinking" to pass the time. Now that he has a new toy, he is naturally more willing to think.

Lindsay's eyes swept around, looking at "marks" one after another.

Some are new and some are old, some are strong and some are weak...

High platforms, pillars, broken stone doors.

Even Fujitora and Gordon.

Of course, the person with the most traces involved must be [Red-haired] Shanks who is further away.

Invisible threads wrapped around his body, like shackles one after another, symbolizing everything [Red Hair] had experienced.

Lindsay couldn't get the specifics from it, but she could really feel it.

He got it.

Ancient knowledge and color can not only peek into the short past, but also see the "traces" of something in the past.

The more experiences and complexity a thing has, the more profound the "traces" it leaves in this world!

At this point, the introduction to ancient knowledge and domineering!

……

"Ha ha!"

Lindsay grinned.

When he came back to his senses and took another look, he found that everyone present was looking at him in astonishment, and he couldn't help but wonder:

"What happened?"

Hearing this, everyone was even more stunned.

What happened?

They also want to know what happened!

That terrifying big face protruded from the stone door again and again, until finally, it turned into a pile of scattered music scores and rushed out of the historical site.

Several people present had not yet reacted, and then they heard bursts of roaring, and the huge stone door exploded.

Amidst the rising smoke and dust, Alvin Lindsay walked out slowly.

"Oh oh oh..."

Fujitora tilted his head and couldn't help but grinned helplessly: "It's really easy to encounter all kinds of wonderful things around Mr. Lindsay."

"is it?"

Lindsay blinked, turned to look at Shanks in the distance, waved his hand and warned: "Pay attention to the top of your head!"

Shanks was confused, "What?"

"That guy."

Lindsay reached out to her afro, ancient sight spreading.

In Lindsay's eyes, the afro is closely related to the entire ruins!

Of course Afro couldn't be the builder of the ruins.

In this case, there is only one possibility——

This person has already done something to the ruins themselves!

"Hey!"

Although it was unclear how that person found out, Afro also knew that now was the only chance to escape.

Although his hands were controlled by Shanks, he was still able to stick out his tongue and spit out a small remote control from his throat.

The upper and lower teeth closed together and bit on the red button above.

click!

With a crisp sound, the signal quickly spread throughout the ruins.

boom!

The explosion sounded.

The explosives that had been buried throughout the ruins were detonated simultaneously at this moment, completely destroying the entire ruins!

boom!boom!boom!boom……

……

A big pit sunk into the forest floor.

Countless debris buried the entire ruins.

Whoa!

A huge boulder was lifted up.

Shanks' arm used strength and he threw the boulder aside.

Behind him, Fujitora also used gravity to protect Gordon, and none of the three were injured.

As for Alvin Lindsay, the three were not worried.

Not long after, a pair of dark green ghost horns emerged from the ground, and the land was torn open in the form of Digui, allowing Lindsay to escape smoothly.

But when everyone looked around, the man with the afro had already taken the opportunity to escape and escaped without a trace.

"call!"

When Shanks saw this, he scratched his head helplessly.

"It's really hard to deal with well-prepared government agents!"

"..."

Gordon on the side thought again and again, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "You three, please send me back to the castle, I want to end the music festival early!"

Gordon's decision was undoubtedly decisive.

Although the purpose of the World Government is unclear, they have already threatened the safety of ordinary citizens.

What's more, Tuotemujika has now escaped from the ruins. The horror in that ancient song made Gordon have to guard against it.

Under the double threat, Gordon must take action!

But after all, Gordon was born in the peaceful East China Sea, was good at music, and had a slightly dull sense of politics.

"It's not that simple."

Shanks stopped Gordon and explained many things.

Including [Devil's Son] Nico Robin, the CP organization, and possible conspiracies...

"Now that the CP organization has been dispatched, it proves that the world government will not give up easily."

"There are many nobles participating in the music festival, and a forced search will only cause chaos."

"Therefore, the so-called 'slave traders' are just a reason to allow the world government to blockade this country!"

"..."

Shanks frowned slightly.

He has been wandering the sea for a long time, so he naturally knows the methods of the world government.

"Even if Nico Robin is handed over now or helps her escape, the World Government will probably not stop."

"They already know that there are ancient ruins in Elegia, so they will definitely take the opportunity to take over to prevent the historical text from being leaked!"

"..."

Gordon listened to Shanks' words silently, understanding in his heart.

He hesitated a little and said: "So, we should now..."

"..."

"Hey!"

Shanks suddenly grinned and said, "We have to pretend we don't know anything!"

Gordon: "?"

He was puzzled at first, then suddenly reacted.

As long as they pretend not to know anything and calmly resolve the "slave traders' chaos" in the country, the World Government will have no reason to forcibly blockade a member country!

"Oh oh oh..."

Fujitora murmured and nodded.

"This plan is very good."

In fact, unlike Shanks or Lindsay, he is not a wanted criminal.

But as a ranger, he stands on the side of his own benevolence and justice, so he cannot bear to see the World Government act so recklessly!

As for Alvin Lindsay, there is no need to say more.

He twisted his neck and made a crackling sound.

"Looking for someone to fight——"

The pupils were flashing red.

"Where to go? How many beatings?"

……

Not long after, Elegia was everywhere.

The King's Army, the Red-haired Pirates, Patrol Group One, and Patrol Group Two all received a message at the same time.

"The largest stronghold of the slave traders has been destroyed. Although the leader of the thieves is still at large, the remaining people no longer pose a threat."

"Attack with all your strength and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

——King Gordon said.

Such exciting news naturally received a response from the king's army.

But at the same time, a few people noticed something unusual.

……

Ode!

The big sword fell.

In a dark alley, Jorian defeats a slave trader.

He panted heavily and his eyes fell on the armor on his arm.

A finger of the "slave trader" poked a big hole there, almost breaking his muscles and bones.

“Are all slave traders today so powerful?”

Jorian sincerely sighed: "It's not easy for all walks of life these days..."

Apparently, he wasn't one of the people who noticed the anomaly.

Who is?

Nicole Robin.

Standing behind Jorian, Robin rubbed his fingers, his pupils trembling, full of fear.

It was rare for her to blend into a place again.

And then, as usual -

The world government is at it again.

……

Uta walked in front.

From the alley on the side, a few hands suddenly stretched out, grabbed her tightly, and dragged her into the shadow next to her.

"Caught it, she is [Red Hair]'s daughter!"

"Use her to force Red Hair to leave the island. Don't let Red Hair interfere with our plans!"

"..."

Several slave traders talked in various directions.

But suddenly, one of them started to struggle, and then his skin shriveled up visibly.

In just a few seconds, the water in his body was sucked dry, turning him into a mummy.

Everyone turned their heads in horror and saw a figure dressed in fashionable and glamorous clothes.

Wearing a gorgeous fur coat, paired with exquisite suits and trousers, and a gold-rimmed headset hanging around his neck, the sinister feeling turned into a strong sense of oppression.

Uta does have a good sense of fashion.

"Tsk, you brat, stop running around..."

Crocodile held a cigar in his mouth and stepped forward to hold Uta's hand.

He turned around to leave, but was stopped by the slave traders next to him.

"Hey!"

slave trader——

In other words, the "government agents" pulled out their own daggers and became armed and domineering.

"Shichibukai [Sand Crocodile], it's none of your business here!"

"Ah, who's talking?"

Crocodile took off his sunglasses from his collar and put them on his face, covering his eyes.

"I'm sorry...

In an instant, the surrounding gravel was raging!

"The sunglasses are too dark, I can't see dead people!"
