Tomb of the Kings

The Tomb of the Kings (王家の墓, Ōke no Haka) refers an ancient tomb located in Alabasta's capital, Alubarna, wherein lies the tombs and graves of the past kings of Alabasta. It is also the location of the Alabasta Poneglyph and can only be reached by a secret entrance revealed by turning a statue of a Sea Cat at the normal tomb. It first appeared in Chapter 202 and Episode 123.

Alabasta Poneglyph Chamber
The Alabasta Poneglyph Chamber is hidden underground, below the Tomb of the Kings. Access is through a secret staircase. This is where the Poneglyph that contains information on Pluton is located and has been protected by the royal family for generations, although they don't know much else about the Poneglyph. Inside, there is a hidden panel that can be activated to make the room collapse. The final battle between Monkey D. Luffy and Crocodile also took place here. The room was forced to collapse by Nefertari Cobra in an attempt to kill Crocodile. As the room is collapsed, the current condition of the chamber and whether or not it was rebuilt is unknown, although since Poneglyphs are said to be indestructible, it is likely that at least that survived.

First Appearance: Chapter 202; Episode 123
