Poneglyph
Poneglyphs are mysterious stone blocks with history inscribed on them in the form of strange letters. They are scattered among the islands of the world, and it is said the only person left in the world who can read them is Nico Robin. Poneglyphs are massive blocks made of an indestructible type of stone. They have text carved on them, written in an ancient language.
There are a total of three types of poneglyphs within the series; Historical, Instructional and Road Poneglyphs.
"Historical Poneglyphs" reveal pieces of ancient history as well as messages written by ancient people. "Instructional Poneglyphs" contain instructions and/or clues about the locations of Historical Poneglyphs and Ancient Weapons. Both Historical and Instructional Poneglyphs are of a dark blue color. The third and last type of poneglyph is the "Road Poneglyph" which gives away a location that, when pieced together with the locations given by the other Road Poneglyphs, allows one to find the path to Raftel. Those poneglyphs are of a deep red color and there are only a total of four of them. Aside from the poneglyphs, there are also other stones that, while not being poneglyphs themselves, contain the same ancient language found on the poneglyphs, such as certain walls in the ruins of the ancient city of Shandora.
