"Now let's read these stones; I've always had doubts about them. I need you to give me a translation of them," commented Luffy, and Robin nodded after stepping away from him, despite feeling some conflicting emotions.

Robin approached the first stone, her eyes tracing the intricate lines that told the story of the Akuma no Mi hidden since the lost century, Cerberus. Each character seemed to pulsate with the mythical essence of the triple-headed beast, and her delicate hands traced the inscriptions as if unraveling the secrets of nature itself.

As Robin read the stone, her gaze shifted from the stone to the adjacent akuma no mi.
'So there's a Poneglyph that speaks only of the fruit?' Luffy thought, observing Robin's behavior.

While reading about the powers of the heads, Robin's expression remained undisturbed, but her eyes reflected intense curiosity.

The mystery surrounding the fruit seemed to deepen as she continued reading. Her gaze traveled over the words, while her mind speculated on the full extent of the powers of this Akuma no Mi.

"Fire, lightning, ice... elements that transcend the normal capabilities of a Devil Fruit. What creature is this that embodies these divine gifts?" Robin found herself captivated by the duality between the known and the unknown as the legend of this creature unfolded before her. A aura of mystery hung over the description, leaving Robin with a sense of fascination and restlessness.

Upon completing the reading of the first stone, Robin turned to Luffy, her blue eyes retaining the depth of reflection.

"Luffy, this one about the Devil Fruit there seems to have been a reserve weapon for a war in the lost century as reinforcement, so it was hidden to be used if they needed reinforcements, but they never had the opportunity." Robin spoke, intrigued by this information.

"Do you want to know more about this Poneglyph first? Or wait for me to read the second one?" Robin turned her gaze back to Luffy behind her.

"Read the second one," Luffy requested, and Robin promptly obeyed. As she began deciphering the inscriptions, a look of doubt settled in her eyes, signaling the presence of unknown information.

"This one is difficult to understand because it has unknown information for me..." Robin murmured, expressing her perplexity at the text.

"Can you write exactly what is written there?" Luffy asked, taking paper and pen from his pocket, enlarging their size.

Robin nodded and took the necessary items before starting to transcribe the ancient words.

"Let me see..." Luffy began reading in the common language.

"This?! This is an inscription with the name Ryuo, the term given to haki in Wano." Luffy became increasingly shocked by the content of the text. "This is not just a technique; it's a new horizon of Conqueror's Haki! A lost technique from the lost century!! This is on a level beyond the knowledge of the world's major forces as far as I know!" The shock reflected in his expression, realizing the magnitude of what he had just discovered. Although Luffy had not yet fully mastered Conqueror's Haki, he recognized that this went far beyond his current understanding of the original work.

"Is it that surprising?" Robin questioned beside Luffy.

"Yes, if I'm right, this represents a technique that elevates the mastery of Conqueror's Haki to a new level! It's too alarming!" Luffy remained stunned, absorbing the gravity of that discovery. He never imagined that a modest cave in the East Blue would hold such impactful secrets. 'What happened there when we found the gold still remains a mystery, but certainly the techniques and the fruit are from the lost century. This is good, very good. I may not have value for this information, and about what happened, maybe I can train my "voice over all things" abilities, these Poneglyphs can tell me what happened in the cave...'
