"There really is only one last thing left."
Saint Saturn lightly nodded and pointed at a document on the table, "I don't oppose what you want to do, but now is not a very good time."
"But you still organized it and gave it to me," Rosse picked up the document and casually flipped through it. It was filled with historical records from Sea Circle Calendar year 600 to 700, which is the blank one hundred years.
Among them were not only historical records related to Joy Boy and the twenty families of the Celestial Dragons, but also many descriptions about the gods.
Yet within them, there was not a single mention of the Ancient Weapons, nor any mention of the Sun God.
As far as Rosse knew, the Sun God was a taboo, so much so that even mentioning once was forbidden.
"How much of it is real?", Rosse also wasn't clear on what happened during that period of history, so he really had no way to distinguish truth from falsehood.
"100% is real. Fabricated stuff has no value. We are not the only ones who experienced that period of history," Saint Saturn said calmly.
Since Rosse wanted to fictionalize that period of history, then might as well go big with it.
Sometimes, even when everything is real, it may not lead to a real outcome.
"Having a family behind you really is nice," Rosse couldn't help but sigh with emotion and flipped through the contents of the document again.
Having teammates who don't drag you down was simply wonderful.
'Come to think of it, to have been a Five Elder Star for so long, we definitely have some skills. Just happened to run into Luffy.'
"Wait, this sentence is also real?", Rosse pointed to a sentence on the document, somewhat surprised, "The power of Devil Fruits originates from the prayers of spirits. Each Devil Fruit represents a god that exists within the fantasy of certain spirits."
It was the first time he knew that Devil Fruits were this metaphysical.
Rosse had thought it was something related to that so-called forest spirit in the sacred texts or whatever.
"This is an excerpt of information recorded in history. Whether it is real or not, I cannot judge," Saint Saturn shook his head.
He had considered this information for a long time and ultimately chose to include it.
Jaygarcia's desired era was not just a child's play of pirates.
Only by standing out among the gods could one truly become the undisputed Spirit King.
Now with that one above controlling everything, whether the Sun God could return as prophesied was still an unknown, and they couldn't possibly propagate the stories of the Sun God.
Since they couldn't recreate the most powerful being in history, they could only push it forward themselves.
"What's the full text?", Rosse wanted to hear the complete version.
Whether it was true or false, he would figure it out on his own. But since it had been passed down for hundreds of years, there was bound to be some credibility.
Rosse was never afraid of facing strong enemies. With the system + the Watatsumi Fruit + the identity of a Celestial Dragon, it was enough to put him in an undefeatable position.
What he feared was the world's favoritism and some divine intervention methods.
If he could figure out the nature of the world, then he could respond calmly.
"The birth of Devil Fruits follows people's wishes. As long as there are still those praying to It, the Fruits will not disappear," Saint Saturn said calmly.
This was basic information. Every head of a Celestial Dragon family could understand it. There was no harm in telling Rosse now.
"Two sentences that seem similar in meaning, but the difference is huge once phrased differently," Rosse chuckled lightly.
Clearly, the two sentences had similar meaning, but the one Saint Saturn said earlier carried a vibe like eating a Devil Fruit could make you a god.
If that sentence were to spread, then probably all kinds of monsters would dare call themselves gods.
Dragon God, Ice God, Light God, Soul Spirit God, those might be acceptable. But Jacket God, Roll Roll God, Human Human Spirit kind, that would just be ridiculous.
"Devil Fruits are essentially the self-prayers of spirits. They are the possibility of a spirit's evolution. Each power represents a form that someone once wished to become."
"According to the ancestors' speculation, these wishes go against the laws of nature, so Devil Fruits are hated by the sea. Because the sea is the 'mother of nature's spirit.' Therefore, the weakness of Devil Fruits is seawater. All who possess these cursed powers basically live in a future that someone once prayed for," Saint Saturn explained, though he never cared about the origin of the Fruit's power.
In his eyes, power in this world is divided into two types: power you can control, and power you cannot control.
The former must be held tightly, the latter must be watched constantly.
"If that's real, then what kind of person's wish does the Watatsumi Fruit represent?", Rosse narrowed his eyes slightly.
As a Fruit user, Rosse could clearly feel that the Watatsumi Fruit was never immune to the sea's effects, but rather resisted the effects brought by the sea's influence.
In other words, the Watatsumi Fruit was also a spirit's prayer, but it carried with it the wish of someone to conquer the sea.
"There's no value in tracing the past. You only need to know, when the power in your hands reaches a certain degree, all the rules will be written by you," Saint Saturn reminded.
This was also why he previously said that now was not a good time.
Rosse was currently too weak, so weak that Saturn could easily control him.
The current Rosse, in front of that person, didn't even count as a bigger ant.
Having been a Five Elder for so many years, Saint Saturn understood this world's fundamental rule too well.
As long as you possess overwhelming power, then everything else is illusion. Whatever you want will just be a matter of time.
"Don't worry, I won't be that impatient. After the Heaven Hunt ends, I'll begin hunting across the world," By this point in the conversation, everything that needed to be said was basically said.
Rosse had no intention of staying longer. After dropping that sentence, he turned and walked out.
He internally agreed with what Saint Saturn said and also roughly understood why the world government banned that blank one hundred years.
Essentially, it was a form of risk avoidance.
As long as someone remembers the Sun God Nika, the one Nika represented might return and throw the world into chaos.
Looking at history now, both times Nika appeared, the world's structure changed.
But in Rosse's eyes, if they were even afraid of the Sun God's return, then that guy up top was just average.
That said, this matter would end here for now.
Although he had learned a lot of secrets in advance, Rosse still had self-awareness.
Just having a powerful Fruit didn't qualify one to be involved in some matters.
It could only be said that after obtaining this Fruit, he had the qualification to know about this matter.
Right now, his strength was still far from being able to think about it.
And to improve strength quickly, he had to interact with people.
This Heaven Hunt and the future global hunt would be his best training grounds.
Once his strength reached S-level, many things could slowly be planned.
In the end, to truly live without restraints, he still needed even greater power.
