Golden Whirl, the Bell of Sky Island

"Hahaha, this is the Golden Bell?"

Because he had been paying attention to Roman, Enel, who was piloting the Ark Maxim, easily found the giant Golden Bell located above the clouds.

"That's spectacular!"

"I'm going to take it with me to the Infinite Continent... Hmm?"

Within Enel's Mantra, he sensed that the group of little bugs from the Blue Ocean were not biting their fingers and trembling, but were actually playing 'little tricks'.

"Cut down this giant vine and use it as a bridge to send Luffy up."

As for what happens next? That's up to Luffy.

"I'll do it,"

Zoro, a man of few words and ruthless actions (provided he doesn't recite poetry), suddenly charged towards the giant vines and swung his sword! Zoro's strength, capable of Iron Cutting and unleashing sword energy, was rapidly increasing, and this giant plant could no longer hinder his blade.

Cut!

As the blade flashed, a section of what appeared to be a skyscraper, like two twining vines reaching upwards, silently fell from the middle. But:

"That's not enough, there's another one."

"Zoro, one more time!"

"You all think I'm... never mind..."

Just as Zoro was struggling to his feet and preparing to unleash his second strike, Wipper Shandia warrior who had been silent all along, stood up.

"Why are you so obsessed with challenging Enel? Blue Ocean people."

Unlike the Shandia people or Angel Island who live on Sky Island, the Straw Hat crew are just a group of 'tourists'. In this kind of situation, the wisest choice is to just walk away.

"That won't do. If we don't ring the Golden Bell and let Uncle Diamondface know that Shandora is here, he'll spend his whole life fishing in the sea."

"The diamond-faced uncle?"

Roman explained in response to Wipper's question.

"It was an uncle we met named 'Wenblam Kulik,' who had been salvaging in the ocean below this island. He was doing this to prove that his ancestors hadn't lied."

"By the way, his ancestor was a very famous person." Roman shrugged. "His name was 'Wimbra Noland'."

!!

He was the great benefactor of the Shandia people four hundred years ago. Because the Sky-Piercing Current swept Shandora into the sky, he was executed for being called a "Great Liar"... Wipper already knew this from other people who occasionally came to Sky Island.

However, what he didn't know was that the descendants of that great benefactor were also trying to prove their ancestor's innocence.

"Leave the other side of the vines to me."

Bang!

Suddenly leaping to the other side of the giant vine, the charred warrior Wipper aimed his palm at the vine.

"Repel Dial!!"

Boom!

The giant vine was blasted open, creating a hole the size of a basketball court, and Wipper, already battered and injured and having overused his Repel Dial, was sent flying backward.

"Go on, kid from the Blue Ocean!"

"Go and ring the Golden Bell, for us Shandia people to pay tribute to the descendants of our benefactor—"

"Offering lights that are 400 years overdue!"

"Oh oh oh~~~~~"

Dragging a giant golden ball, Luffy upwards along the slowly collapsing giant vines! He charges towards the Ark 'Maxim' in the sky, towards the man named Enel who calls himself 'God'! This time:

"I will definitely ring the Golden Bell!!"

········

"Madness,"

However, Enel, standing on the deck of the Ark 'Maxim', merely observed coldly. He only needed to move the Ark to the side a tiny bit, and the other bridge would—?

Snap!

Two enormous arms supported the slowly collapsing vines, along with the giant serpent known as the 'Lord of the Sky'.

"Oh, you understand human speech?"

Roman, atop the 'Giant White Knight,' glanced at the giant serpent beside him. His current 'Giant White Knight' form was at its limit; despite enhanced strength, moving the giant vine was still extremely difficult. However, with the help of the 'Lord of the Sky':

"Come on, let's push together!"

Click click click~~

The giant vines, slowly collapsing, changed direction, their tips once again pointing towards Enel's Ark 'Maxim'! And along the vines, dragging the golden ball upwards, came Luffy's powerful roar.

"Get out of the way! Big-eared monster!!"

???

You think I'll just move aside because you tell me to? Where's my dignity?!

Enel could have easily propelled the Ark away, paused, stopping in place to face Luffy, who Luffy upwards. Anyway:

"Pathetic monkey,"

"You actually think you can get close to me? You're overestimating yourself!"

Enel's lightning had absolutely no effect on Luffy, but it did affect other things—

Crack!

A long chain of Inazuma ripped through the sky, instantly striking the tip of the vine. How could a plant shrunk to the thickness of a person possibly withstand Enel's thunderous power? The vine exploded on the spot, causing Luffy, who was about to reach the Ark 'Maxim', to Luffy his footing.

"You filthy big-eared monster!"

Brush--

The vines began to break and fall, and with one hand still dragged down by the golden ball, there was no way forward! But the indomitable Luffy suddenly stretched out his other arm and grabbed the deck of the Ark 'Maxim'! Just as he was about to exert his strength to climb up:

"Go down and obediently wait to die."

Enel, who had kicked Luffy's hand away, laughed loudly, looking up at the sky!

"A monkey is a monkey,"

"Go to the ground and wait to be blasted off ten thousand meters by my 'El Thor'! Unless you can grow wings... wings...?!!"

Brush--

Huge white wings unfurled behind Luffy, causing him to Luffy in the air instead of landing, slowly rising to the same level as the deck with the flapping of the wings! Facing Luffy's furious Luffy, Enel, who considered himself a god, suddenly took a big step back.

"You... you don't come any closer!"

"Go, Luffy!"

Roman's voice came from the white wings behind him.

'This is my last sheet of paper!'

—Paper Dance-Rubber-Angel Luffy

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!!!!"

The arm holding the golden sphere was extended and rotated by Luffy, twisting into a long braid to gather power! Then, with a sudden backward swing, it aligned with Enel on the Ark Maxim and the Golden Bell behind him.

"Now! I'm going to ring it for you too!!"

······!

"Presumptuous!!"

"200 Million Volts— "

In an instant, Enel transformed into a muscular, lightning giant! His lower body was surrounded by thunderclouds, and he unleashed a deafening roar more powerful and terrifying than thunder and raging waves:

"Thor!!"

You said you wanted to ring the Golden Bell?!

Every roar Ten Thousand Lightning Resonance, and every exhale caused the wind to howl! Above the thunderclouds, lightning bolts stretched from heaven to earth, constantly swaying and rolling, bursting with flashes, as if cheering for their 'king'.

"Just because you're a Paramecia, how many times do you intend to defy me...?"

"Until I ring the Golden Bell!!"

With Luffy's roar, the golden ball binding his right hand finally charged up and rebounded violently! Spinning at a terrifying high speed, it hurtled towards the giant 'Thor' on the Ark!

This punch was not only Luffy's strongest power, but also enhanced by the high-speed rotation and enormous mass of the golden sphere! Faced with this surging punch, Enel made the most foolish decision.

"Hahaha, watch me block it—"

Click!

The golden trident in his hand exploded instantly, Luffy's fist rapidly enlarged in Enel's pupils within the giant golden sphere!

No way!

This punch simultaneously unleashed a thin layer of dark color and domineering madness, cutting through wind and lightning! Like a dragon's roar, like a beast's howl, it instantly swirled the thunderclouds, transforming into a spinning golden dragon, its overwhelming impact Vice Admiral Enel in his 'Thor' form flying backward! Then:

"Clang!!!!!!"

How could this be?

The invincible Thor was smeared hard against the Golden Bell behind him!

Amidst the deafening tolling of bells, Luffy is seen falling, supported by fluttering white paper, after the golden ball shatters.

It is Enel who fell unconscious, and it is the Ark Maxim that also began to fall after losing its master.

The thunderclouds dissipated, and the sound of bells echoed.

The bell tolled 400 years later, echoing across the land and reaching Jaya Island thousands of meters below! It cleared the name of 'Great Liar' Noland, brought an end to the Straw Hat crew's battle, and put a stop to the destruction of Sky Island.

"That idiot Enel..."

Roman directed the last piece of paper to carry the exhausted Luffy slowly down the river.

"A mage should just act like a mage. He could have been invincible with a simple teleportation, but he had to insist on using close combat..."

Never mind, whatever.

Our trip to the Sky Island has finally come to an end!
