Sakazuki thought for a moment and didn't choose to quit, because he felt that he might be able to improve his strength by using this place.
He had touched the fire card just now, and when he touched it, he felt a force surge into his body. That force was very strong.
If he quit, would he lose this power?
And...
Through this place, he might be able to get more information about pirates in the future!
It goes without saying about Shanks, he was still counting on this place to save Captain Roger.
Seeing that none of the three of them chose to quit, Adam, sitting in a high position, said again, "It seems you have made your choices. I should congratulate you, although everyone is rowing in the lake of fate, but..."
"From now on, you will no longer let the waves of the Lake of Fate guide you forward."
"Of course, the existence of the Twilight Hermits must not be revealed."
"What happens if it's revealed?" Shanks asked nervously.
He still wanted to tell everyone on the ship about this.
Zephyr and Sakazuki also perked up their ears, they also wanted to know the consequences.
"You will disappear."
Disappear?
What is that supposed to mean?
But for some reason, they felt a creepy terror from these three simple words.
They definitely didn't want to try!
If you try to reveal the existence of the Twilight Hermits, you will disappear!
This feeling surged strongly into their hearts, a very strange feeling, that is, they didn't know much about Adam, but they believed Adam's words.
Adam has the ability to make them disappear!
Just like he was able to bring them here...
"Let's end the first gathering of the Twilight Hermits here. Everyone has just joined and probably doesn't have anything they want to exchange yet."
Adam's voice drifted over lightly. The next moment, the clouds quickly dispersed, and then the world seemed to be retreating rapidly, they were quickly moving away from this world.
And then...
They woke up in reality!
"Was it a dream?"
Shanks suddenly sat up in bed, panting heavily.
The next moment, the previous memories flooded into his mind like a tide.
Twilight Hermits, the direction of the era, Adam, fire, mirror and...
Drive?
Drive?!
Shanks was suddenly startled, because he felt like he was touching something in his hand. He looked over and only found a card quietly lying in his hand.
It was the card · Drive that he had obtained in the Twilight Hermits!
The Drive card, has it really appeared in his hand now?
That wasn't a dream?
Shanks felt the touch of the Drive card, and then felt as if some magic was coming from it, a cool feeling came over him.
He immediately got out of bed and ran around the house.
"Speed... has become faster."
Shanks muttered to himself.
His speed was several times faster than before, is this the effect of the Drive card?
Thinking of this, Shanks became excited again. Everything about the Twilight Hermits was real, he had been pulled into a mysterious organization, so the curse on Captain Roger...
He quickly pushed the door open and walked to Mumei's room.
Mumei had been living in seclusion for these years, because he was reading some books and using his abilities to do some experiments, wanting to see if he could remove the curse on Roger.
It can be said that he is the most familiar with Roger's curse on the ship. The ship doctor Crocus is only suppressing Roger's illness on the surface, but everyone knows that the root cause lies in the seemingly illusory curse.
Knock knock knock
Shanks knocked gently on the door.
"Come in"
Mumei's voice came from inside. Shanks pushed the door open and walked into the room.
Mumei's room was a little dark and the lights were not on. He was reading books at his desk.
After hearing Shanks walk in, Mumei turned around and said in surprise, "Shanks, why did you come here?"
Shanks was a little embarrassed, because he couldn't reveal the existence of the Twilight Hermits, so he could only pretend to be curious and ask, "Um... I want to ask, are there levels to curses?"
"Huh...? Why did you suddenly think of asking such a question?" Mumei asked curiously.
"Because I was thinking, since demons have levels, then shouldn't demons' curses also have strengths and weaknesses?" Shanks said quickly, "The curse on the captain, should it be very strong?"
After all, it has made so many of them helpless. It is said that there are still Shikon Jewel fragments in the captain's body, and those fragments can cure all diseases, but they cannot cure his body.
"Well... curses do have their own levels, but in general there are actually only two types."
Mumei put one hand on the chair, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and said.
"Two types?" Shanks' heart skipped a beat, if that's the case, then there's a high possibility that Roger is under a king-level curse.
"Yes, one is solvable type curses, and the other is unsolvable type curses." Mumei said with some exhaustion, "In the more ancient classifications, there are more detailed divisions. The strongest curse is called 'the King's Curse'."
King's curse!
This was what Shanks was waiting for. He hurriedly asked, "What level of curse is on the captain?!"
Speaking of this, Mumei's eyes were a little dim.
But he still said, "It's an unsolvable type curse. If we use the ancient term, then it may be 'the King's Curse'. Legend has it that this is a curse that can only be cast by demon lords in the demon world. Back then in Wano Country... Roger was too careless."
He sighed, and then forced himself to cheer up, "But you don't need to worry too much. The only absolute thing in this world is that there is no absolute. An unsolvable curse is certainly not unsolvable, it's just difficult to remove."
His voice lowered, "At least, we have to let Roger... fulfill his dream."
Fulfill...
His dream.
That is, to find the final island. As long as they can reach that place, then Roger won't have any regrets even if he dies, right?
Shanks walked out of the room in a daze. At first, he was excited because he thought he had found a clue to remove the curse, but now he was told that it was Adam could not remove the king's curse, and he was greatly disappointed.
No, according to Adam, more and more people will join the Twilight Hermits in the future, so what Adam can't do, others may not be able to do!
Shanks walked back to his room and lay on it blankly.
At this moment, the Drive card seemed to resonate with his mood, releasing a little light.
The light gradually turned into an animal that looked like a long-eared cat. It snuggled up next to Shanks.
"Drive..."
Shanks' eyes turned to surprise. He didn't expect the card to actually come to life?
