Shandora Golden City

The tolling of the Golden Bell still echoes melodiously among the sea of clouds, as if turning the legend that has lasted for four hundred years into today's reality.

Beneath the Golden Bell, lifted by time and guided to the clouds by Vines, the Shandia warriors knelt silently before the Holy Land.

Rough hands gently caressed the golden patterns on the city wall eroded by wind and sand. Each crack seemed to be the blood and tears of ancestors, and each whisper was a story of returning to the homeland.

"... Four hundred years." Wyper's voice was hoarse and trembling slightly, "We've finally returned."

Gan Fall stood beside him, his gaze weathered, his eyes filled with emotion. "From this day forward, this will no longer be Battlefield for us to fight over, but our shared home."

The residents of Angel Island also flocked to this legendary city.

They spoke in hushed tones, gazing in awe at their surroundings, speechless at the ancient walls and statues made of gold.

"This amount of gold is probably more than the total wealth of the entire Sky Island..."

"This is a treasure from a thousand years ago..." they murmured, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Just then, Gan Fall suddenly turned around, walked solemnly to Roy, and bowed deeply. "Mr. Roy, please be sure to take some of Shandora's gold with you!"

His tone was full of sincerity, "This is not only a gift of thanks, but also our respect and Trust in you!"

Wyper nodded emphatically. "If it weren't for you, we Shandia would probably never have been able to set foot in the Holy Land."

All eyes turned to Roy, a consensus shared by all Skypieans and Shandia, and the first time in history that the wealth of Shandora had been opened to the Blue Sea People.

But Roy simply smiled and waved his hand, "No need for gold."

He lazily brushed Luffy's hands off his back, saying, "This is your sacred relic. If you touch it carelessly... you might get cursed, you know?"

However...

He stroked his chin. "The specialties of the Sky Island are quite interesting, like the 'Jet Dial,' 'Tone Dial,' and 'Impact Dial.' Taking some back to study wouldn't be bad."

Luffy immediately raised his hand and shouted, "There's more meat! The Barbecue on Sky Island is so delicious!! Can I take a chef back with me?!"

Ace grabbed his head and pressed it down. "Shut up! The chef is a person, not meat!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, the air filled with an unprecedented lightness and warmth.

A moment later, Roy led everyone back to Angel City.

When Gan Fall and Wyper finally realized what was happening, their expressions changed drastically again. "Wait..."

Gan Fall looked at Roy in shock, "You just... Teleportation back from Shandora with all of us?!"

Wyper looked down at Angel City Square, his face filled with disbelief. "It's over ten kilometers away! And there's a whole group of us, yet you don't seem tired at all..."

The two men exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with an indescribable sense of awe.

"Mr. Roy's strength is probably far beyond our imagination," Gan Fall said in a low voice.

Wyper took a deep breath and nodded silently.

After the revelry, the next day, Kuina, Zoro, and Law packed up the Sky Island specialties, Ace Luffy each carried a large bag of Sky Island ingredients, preparing to bid farewell to the Sky Island people.

"Mr. Roy, are you really not going to stay a few more days?" Gan Fall asked, his expression complex and his tone filled with reluctance.

Wyper also spoke up, "The celebration of the New God’s Country has only just begun, and you are the most important contributors!"

Roy shrugged, flashing his usual nonchalant smile, "You guys are just getting started, you have a ton of work to do, we'd only be a hindrance if we stayed."

Regarding the matter I discussed with you last night, I will arrange for someone to come and take over.

After speaking, Roy paused, his tone softening, "Don't worry, we'll come again. I haven't had enough of the scenery on Sky Island yet."

"Hehe, next time I'm bringing Nami and the others to play!" Luffy shouted, waving his arms. "And I also want to eat the Sweet Fried Cloud Meat from Sky Island!"

"You rascal..." Ace sighed, rubbing his forehead, but couldn't hide the amusement in his eyes.

Just as everyone was saying their reluctant goodbyes, Roy suddenly seemed to remember something, a smirk playing on his lips as he casually added, "Oh, right, I also took Enel with me."

"W-what?!"

Gan Fall and Wyper exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with astonishment. Even the divine soldiers and Shandia warriors standing to the side widened their eyes in surprise.

After a brief moment of surprise, Sky Island Plaza suddenly erupted into a tsunami of cheers!

"Great!! That demon is finally gone!"

"I no longer have to worry about being punished by lightning!"

"We're truly free!!"

The shouts were a mix of laughter, tears, and release—a triumphant cry after years of suppressed fear had finally crumbled.

Gan Fall, his eyes reddening, stepped forward, bowed deeply, and solemnly said, "Mr. Roy, the Skypieans... will forever remember your kindness!"

Roy waved his hand dismissively, his tone dismissive of the hassle. "Alright, alright, don't make it like a sacrificial ceremony. I'm not accepting offerings."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

He flicked his sleeve, turned and walked toward the Warship moored by the clouds, his figure casting a dashing silhouette in the sunlight.

"Let's go, you brats!"

"Alright!!"

Ace, Luffy, Zoro, Kuina, and Roze responded, their voices like ancient bells tolling, piercing the sky above the Sky Island.

The sails billowed in the wind as the ship sailed into the sea of clouds, a golden ray of light on the horizon bathing the entire Warship in a warm hue.

Luffy lay on the ship's railing, gazing longingly at the receding Sky Island, waving and shouting, "Goodbye, Sky Island! I'll come back to see you!!"

Ace stood behind him, hands in his pockets, a smirk playing on his lips. "Next time I come, I hope there won't be any 'gods' or anything like that."

Zoro leaned against the mast with his eyes closed, resting. Kuina stood quietly beside him, while Law leaned against the railing, flipping through a medical book. It was as if everything had returned to peace.

Roy stood at the bow of the ship, gazing quietly at the horizon, and chuckled to himself, "This trip has been quite fruitful."

Warship Control Room

"Click--"

The heavy alloy hatch slowly opened, and a blinding beam of light shone into the dimly lit cabin.

The room was damp and quiet, with only the low-frequency sound of a boat's horn and the soft rustling of chains.

In the very center, on a specially made heavy prison chair, a figure was tightly locked up— Enel.

He was covered in scorch marks, his hair was disheveled, his cloak was torn, his limbs were tightly bound by thick Seastone, his hands were handcuffed high behind his back, and even his ankles were tied to the seat base with heavy metal blocks.

Even in this disheveled state, his face still wore an unbelievable arrogance.

Seeing the group of people enter, his eyes blazed with madness once more. He abruptly looked up and roared hoarsely with fury, "You ants from the Blue Sea!! What right do you have to imprison 'God'?!"

"I am God!! I am Thunder!! I am the absolute ruler!!"

"Let me go! Or I'll make you—"

He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

Ace leaned against the door with his arms crossed, Luffy watched the commotion with an innocent look in his mouth, a piece of Barbecue dangling from his lips, Kuina and Zoro each gripped their sword hilts, while Law quietly took a half-step back.

The five of them looked at Roy was standing at the front, without prior arrangement.

A vein throbbed on his forehead, several of them bulging out, and while he still wore a smile, he exuded a chilling aura.

Roy approached Enel with a smile, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze. "Oh? What did you just say you were?"

Enel, his face full of arrogance, declared, "I said—I am 'God'!"

"Good, very good, very energetic!"

Roy nodded, his smile unchanged, but behind that smile lay a chilling "merciful judgment."

"Luo."

"Exist."

"Bring me your medical kit, then arrange to find a nearby island."

"Understood." Luo immediately carried out the order, deftly opening the medical kit and pulling out a large Injection, the liquid inside still gently sloshing.

Enel's expression changed instantly when he saw the syringe in Law's hand, which was thicker than his own arm.

"What are you doing?! I don't need your treatment!! I... I am a god!! A god!!"

He screamed and struggled frantically, the Seastone chains rattling loudly, his face turning deathly pale.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

After tidying it up and handing it to Roy, the five of them quietly left the room.

"Snap."

The door was gently closed by the crowd amidst Enel's piercing scream.

They turned and left, leaving only the screams from inside the hatch, gradually becoming clearer and more distinct, echoing in the Warship's corridors.

The Warship sailed slowly above the sea of clouds. The sky was clear, Thunder God was silent, and the island's silhouette faded into the distance.

Meanwhile, a certain "god" is experiencing "human etiquette education."
