Kronos didn't speak, but smiled and nodded affirmatively.
Even though Kronos responded affirmatively, Bonney still couldn't believe the news about One Piece.
"Is the legend true?!"
"Is One Piece real?!"
Bonney double-checked with Kronos, dumbfounded.
Seeing Bonney's reaction, Kronos laughed.
"What? Didn't you just set sail for One Piece?"
"How can you doubt its authenticity now?"
Bonney was a little confused, and her mind was slightly lost.
"No… even if you say so…"
"This… is this too sudden?!"
After saying this, Bonney suddenly reacted.
Immediately afterward, her face changed, and she looked at Kronos suspiciously, mumbling.
"You said the old man knew about One Piece, so why didn't you go save him? How many drinks would you buy him?"
"Didn't you also come for One Piece?"
"Would you give me such a good opportunity?"
Hearing Bonney's words, Kronos smiled slightly and turned to look at her, speaking calmly.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm not interested in that stuff!"
Yes, the purpose of Kronos becoming a pirate was never One Piece!
When leaving Erika's Tavern, he thought that becoming a pirate was the best choice at that time.
Back then, he didn't think too much—he just wanted to live a better life.
However, when Wutiao Wu, Tiandao Payne, and others joined the crew, ambition gradually began to grow in his heart.
One Piece was too small after all!
Compared to this world, it was just a pebble!
At best, it's enough for a personal adventure.
Become the Pirate King? Dominate the Grand Line?
No, no, he wanted the whole world!
He wanted to destroy the current World Government and replace it, pulling Im down from the Void Throne.
The consolidation of power required the pouring of red blood.
For this, the Four Emperors and Pirates!
Things that could threaten the stability of the throne must be erased!
Until he sat on that Void Throne!
He would divide the Four Emperors and rule the Grand Line!
At the same time, he would set up four-sea overlords to control each region!
More than 170 allied countries must become subordinates and obey his orders unconditionally!
Anyone who refuses will be destroyed as traitors!
Tyranny leads to rebellion?
People fighting resistance?
That's a joke in the face of absolute power!
Revolutionary Army?
All crushed under his feet!
However, what Bonney said about Kronos, that he wasn't interested in One Piece, obviously didn't convince her.
"That's One Piece! A great treasure!"
"How could a pirate not be interested in treasure?"
"Speaking of which, how could an old man know where the legendary treasure is?"
Hearing this, Kronos was taken aback.
He also realized that this girl clearly didn't believe him.
However, Kronos didn't care. Instead, he smiled and asked.
"Don't believe me?"
"Do you know who that old man is?"
Bonney blinked but didn't say anything because she really didn't know who the old man was.
After a while, Kronos wrapped his arms around himself and smiled faintly.
"This so-called old man you're talking about is named Silvers Rayleigh!"
"He was the former Vice-Captain of the Roger Pirates!"
Upon hearing this, Bonney's pupils shrank uncontrollably.
At that moment, she seemed struck by lightning, frozen in place.
The disbelief and shock on her face were evident.
"The Roger Pirates... Vice-Captain?!"
Behind them, the members of the Bonney Pirates, hearing this, couldn't help but take a deep breath, looking shocked.
"Roger Pirates?!"
"Is that... Gol D. Roger's ship?!"
"Is it Roger's ship?!"
"Incredible!"
"That guy... turned out to be the Vice-Captain of One Piece?!"
Kronos ignored the exclamations from the crew and continued.
"In these 800 years, they are the only pirate crew to reach Raftel."
"That's the place where One Piece is hidden."
"How is it? Are you excited?"
Kronos turned to Bonney and laughed.
Bonney gritted her teeth and lowered her head, caught in a battle between her heart and mind.
She was clearly moved.
Very excited!
Becoming a pirate and going out to sea for adventure, her dream was to find the legendary ultimate treasure, One Piece!
And now, there was such a great opportunity!
To save him? Or not to save him?
Though the other party might not even tell her!
But if Kronos was right, there's always a glimmer of hope, isn't there?
Bonney hesitated.
However, after a while of silence, she figured it out.
"What you said is really heartwarming."
"But, I want to find One Piece on my own!"
At that moment, a determined expression appeared on Bonney's face.
When Kronos saw this, he simply smiled faintly.
"At that time, I'm afraid you won't have that chance."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Bonney to say anything and took a step toward the hut.
But, with all the words explained, how could Bonney not be curious?
So, Bonney quickly followed Kronos and asked.
"Why?"
"Why won't I have a chance by then?"
As Bonney asked, Kronos didn't respond. He simply kept walking forward.
