Rocks and Jinbe took a taxi and soon arrived at the Sea Forest.
Under Jinbei's leadership, Rocks quickly arrived at the historical stone tablet in the Sea Forest.
When seeing the huge historical stone tablet, Rocks' naturally awakened Observation Haki suddenly underwent some different changes.
Looking at the strange words on the stone tablet, although he didn't recognize them, Rocks suddenly found that he seemed to understand their meaning.
"Is it true..."
Rocks murmured something in a low voice, then stopped looking at the stone tablet and turned to look at a mermaid man not far from the stone tablet.
Seeing Rocks looking at him, the mermaid man gave a kind smile.
"Hello, human."
Rocks nodded to the male mermaid.
"I know you, Master Tom told me about you once, Dan."
Rocks spoke to Dan who was not far away.
"Oh? You actually know my brother Tom! Hahaha, then we really are old friends!"
Dan floated in front of Rocks with a smile on his face and gave him a huge hug warmly.
"Dan? The famous shipbuilder and scholar of Fishman Island. I didn't expect you to be here."
Jinbei looked at Dan and spoke in surprise.
Dan smiled and looked at Jinbe.
"Ah, there are many places in the Sea Forest that are worth studying. Moreover, this huge historical stone tablet is worth spending my entire life studying."
Dan floated to the stone tablet and gently touched the ancient characters engraved on it with his hands.
"Don't you think these words are full of charm?"
Rocks looked at the ancient texts, and the meaning of these texts kept emerging in his mind.
"It's really interesting. However, I didn't expect that such a huge stone tablet was just used to write an apology letter."
"That guy named Joey Boy is really an interesting guy."
Hearing Rocks' whispered words, Dan excitedly grabbed Rocks' shoulders.
"You, can you understand those ancient characters? Do you know what is written on them?!"
Rocks looked at the excited Dan in front of him, shook his head gently and nodded.
"I know what it means, but I can't read these ancient words."
Rocks took his hands off his shoulders, walked to the stone tablet, and touched the ancient words on it.
The moment Rocks' hands touched the stone tablet, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
He found that he was no longer in the Sea Forest, but on a huge warship.
A man was carving words on a huge stone tablet with an apologetic look in his eyes.
Tears of helplessness continued to flow from his eyes.
"Princess, believe me, I will definitely come to find you. Even though I cannot fulfill my promise to you now, no matter how many years have passed, I still firmly believe that someone will come to fulfill our promise on my behalf."
After the man finished speaking, he picked up the huge stone tablet and threw it on the ground. He also walked down the huge warship and left this place alone on a small sailboat and entered the sea.
After the man left, Rocks also came out of the illusion.
Thinking back to the departing figure, Locke Snow was lost in thought.
His hands gently touched every ancient character.
"Sea King, Poseidon? Ha, how interesting."
"I didn't expect that my natural observation Haki, besides the boring ability of passively allowing me to hear many sounds, actually has this function."
"I just don't know if this ability is useful for all antiques or just for historical stone tablets."
Rocks put his thoughts aside for the moment.
"By the way, Dan, I heard from Tom that your boatmanship is not inferior to his. How about coming to my boat and being my partner?"
Hearing Rocks' invitation suddenly, Dan was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, although I really want to accept your invitation and go to the sea with you to see the world, but forget it."
"My hobby is just to study history in the Sea Forest when I have nothing to do, and take on some coating jobs to make a living when I'm bored."
"But thank you very much for inviting me to be your partner."
Rocks did not force Dan's refusal.
Everyone has their own pursuits, and Rocks will not force anyone.
"Really? If that's the case, then forget it."
Rocks replied with a smile, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Rocks had accomplished his purpose of coming to the Sea Forest, and he didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Oh, by the way, Dan, please help me coat my two ships. I will pay you the normal price."
Rocks thought of something and turned to Dan.
"Ah, leave it to me without worry. I'll go there myself after I finish my research. They are the two largest warships at the port dock, right?"
Dan accepted Rocks' request generously.
"Thank you, Dan."
After saying that, Rocks directly called Jinbei to leave together.
"Jinbei, do you know Joy Boy?"
On the way, Rocks suddenly asked Jinbei.
"Joey Boy? I've heard of this name. Eight hundred years ago, it seems that he had some kind of agreement with the mermaid princess of our Fishman Island at that time, but in the end, he broke the promise."
Jinbei directly told Rocks all the stories about the legends of Fishman Island that he knew.
Those stories are still told with melodramatic love stories.
Eight hundred years ago, the prince of a certain kingdom (of course, no one knows if he was a real prince) accidentally fell into the sea during a shipwreck and was rescued by a mermaid princess who happened to be swimming in the shallow sea at the time.
Then, over a long yet short period of time, the mermaid princess unknowingly fell in love with the generous, time-powerful and charming man.
And the man is Joey Boy.
Joyboy also fell in love with the mermaid princess because of her beauty, kind heart and gentle temper.
The two spent a happy time together.
However, happy times will eventually come to an end.
After Joyboy saw a newspaper, he said goodbye to the mermaid princess and left.
Before leaving, Joy Boy promised that when he finished his work, he would bring a huge warship to marry the mermaid princess and welcome all the residents of Fishman Island to live on the sea.
The happy mermaid princess has great trust in Joyboy's words.
After an unforgettable farewell, one returned to Fishman Island to prepare for her marriage, and the other returned to the kingdom to participate in a huge war.
But I didn't expect that this farewell would be forever.
More than ten years later, the war was over. Joy Boy came to Fishman Island, exhausted both physically and mentally. Only to learn that the Mermaid Princess had died ten years ago due to excessive lovesickness.
This made Joyboy, who was already exhausted both physically and mentally, even more exhausted.
He carved this historical stone tablet on Fishman Island, spent the rest of his life building a huge battleship, and then completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
In this way, a tragic love story was preserved and passed down.
After listening to Jinbe's story, Rocks looked up at the sky of Fishman Island.
"A huge war eight hundred years ago? That's really interesting."
