Rise Into the Sky! The Golden Bell and the War in the Heavens!

Let's rewind to a few days ago.

Water 7.

Once it was confirmed that the Calamity Company's large fleet had completely left the island, naval warships arrived immediately.

"You're saying that Roa stole a blueprint that has been passed down for hundreds of years?"

The Vice Admiral general, the base commander from G-8, asked the man before him with a serious expression.

"Yes, yes,"

The mayor, who was cautious and timid in front of Roa, was just as meek and submissive as a quail in front of this high-ranking naval officer.

Although the navy couldn't help at all, the island's security still depends on them.

The mayor nodded cautiously. "We had never heard of that blueprint before, and we don't know how he found out about it."

"Not only that, he also stole all the shipwrights on the island! Vice Admiral, the Navy and the government must help us!"

"This island relied on shipbuilding for its livelihood, but now the shipbuilding industry has been completely destroyed by Roa. The hundreds of thousands of residents on the island have lost their means of support, and apart from the government, no one can help us!"

Faced with the mayor's plea, the Vice Admiral merely frowned.

Drawing?

Blueprints passed down from hundreds of years ago?

The blueprints that even Roa came all the way to snatch!

He was supposed to expand his territory in the New World alongside the other monsters!

Was he even after stealing those shipwrights for that blueprint?

What kind of blueprint must that be!

This matter must be reported to our superiors immediately!

So a phone call was made to G-1 base—the government had confirmed that the base would be renamed New Marineford.

It will become the new Marine Headquarters.

Admiral Sengoku, who had already returned, didn't dare to delay after receiving the call and immediately relayed the message to Mary Geoise —even though he didn't know what the blueprint meant.

Then, those who knew the origin of the blueprints finally received the news.

"Difficult, could it be that one—"

Room of Authority, one of the Five Elders, Satan, paled. "The blueprints for Pluton?"

"It actually survived!! Damn it! I should have destroyed Water 7 7 eight hundred years ago!!"

The bald-headed Warcury had a ferocious expression on his face, and his hands had unconsciously crushed the sofa armrests.

Roa and Pluton!

Just thinking about this combination sends chills down my spine!

"Now that design is in Roa's hands, and he's also taken all the shipwrights from Water 7! They possess world-class skills!"

Dressed in a white kimono Nusjuro's tone was equally grave, "Furthermore, Roa even took away the ancient technological data stored in Ohara long ago! This is a huge problem! What if he really builds a second Pluton!"

The good news is, it won't be that easy.

"Those were the days when Joy Boy went to such lengths to build the first Pluton!" said Ju Peter, dressed in a red suit. "If it was like that back then, imagine how much effort they put in now!"

We need an opportunity!

The Five Elders Marcus Mars said solemnly, "An opportunity to completely eliminate Roa!"

"But where should we look for that opportunity?"

Satan spoke slowly and deliberately.

The spacious room fell silent instantly.

Yeah, there's just no way to deal with that guy Roa anyway.

Are we perhaps going to beg Lord Imu to take action personally?

"Our only hope lies with Stussy!"

That's what they think.

Back to the present.

Jaya Island.

This island is the very place where the legendary adventurer Noland spoke of the Golden Land nearly four hundred years ago.

Strictly speaking, half of the place is located there.

The island was torn in two by a massive, Knock Up Stream.

This half remained in the sea and became what is now Jaya Island.

The other half was washed ashore on Sky Island. Because of its unique soil structure, which was completely different from all the other cloud islands in the sea of clouds, it was occupied by the people of Angel Island and renamed Sky Island.

The Golden Land is there, Golden Bell is there too.

The target this time is also there.

Of course, when the Snail Fleet landed on the island, the island's inhabitants were once again in a frenzy.

This time, however, it wasn't the ordinary residents who were in an uproar.

Because Jaya Island isn't an ordinary island. It might sound funny, but like Beehive Island, it's a pirate island, a mini-version of a pirate island.

"That's the snail fleet from the Calamity Company!"

"Roa, it's the Calamity Roa!"

"Why would such an important person come to this island?"

The pirates on the island were terrified as they watched the enormous snails charge onto Jaya Island with a crushing, destructive force.

Almost instantly, a large number of pirates began to flee.

Such monsters, even the slightest bit of malice, are enough to bring them to their doom.

However, not everyone chose to run away.

Some also actively moved closer to the snail colony.

"Lord Roa! Please allow us to follow you!"

"I am a pirate with a bounty of 16 million Beli! Lord Roa, may I join your ranks?"

"Hahahaha! Calamity Roa! Hand over your head, with a bounty of four billion Beli!"

"If I can just kill this guy, I'll instantly become famous!"

Some wanted to join Roa's ranks, while others coveted Roa's bounty; without exception, everyone wore an excited expression.

"It's so noisy."

Roa raised an eyebrow slightly, "Quiet down, all of you."

His eyes suddenly shifted from black to white.

In just a moment, all the pirates fell silent.

Their eyes were completely black.

Not only them, but even in towns further away, the pirates who didn't escape fast enough also lost consciousness in an instant and became ghosts controlled by Roa.

Today, the scope of the ability to manipulate negative emotions has naturally expanded considerably.

"Go and quiet down the whole island."

Roa said calmly.

Immediately, the pirates, transformed into demons, swarmed out like hunting dogs, attacking those pirates who managed to escape quickly enough.

In the blink of an eye, the entire island was engulfed in a bloody and fiery struggle.

Behind Roa, Kozuki Toki lowered his eyes.

Sure enough, on that previous island, Roa was a bit too gentle.

The Roya we see now, who's ready to wipe out everyone on the island at the slightest provocation just because it's too noisy, is the real Roa.

"Boss, are we heading to Sky Island now?"

Dylan spoke up to ask.

Although I've never heard of any Sky Island, if the boss says they exist, then they must exist.

Who wouldn't be interested in a country above a sea of clouds?

"Um."

Roa nodded slightly. "Bullet, you stay here. The rest of you are coming with me to the Sky Island."

Despite the presence of the Five Color Squad and the Scourge, there shouldn't be anyone in the first half of the Grand Line who could threaten the Grand Fleet.

But as the saying goes, it's always better to be prepared.

"Yes!"

Bullet nodded solemnly.

Although he was somewhat interested in the Sky Island, the Boss's orders came first!

Then, the enormous pterosaur spread its wings and flew straight upwards.

Roa stood on Dylan's back, carrying Bege in his hand, while the others were inside the kid's stomach.

Dylan was naturally quite fast, and soon he had flown to the foot of a sea of clouds.

"Seven thousand meters above the sea surface, the White Sea."

Looking up at the sea of clouds stretching to the horizon, Roa smiled slightly. "It's truly magnificent!"

"But Dylan, don't rush straight into this sea of clouds."

The sea of clouds is not a figment of imagination, but a fact.

The clouds that make up this sea of clouds are called Sea Cloud, which are special clouds created by the combination of special substances ejected into the sky by huge ocean currents and the clouds in the sky.

It possesses the same qualities as the real ocean.

Even those with special abilities will become powerless if they enter.

Dylan cannot penetrate this sea.

But, a sea of clouds, is still a sea, isn't it?

Roa ordered, "Scatter."

The sea of clouds suddenly began to churn, revealing a huge hole.

Dylan, without hesitation, plunged into the hole and flapped his wings to rise.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed. From the edge of the huge cave, a large fish suddenly burst out and then slumped down.

"That's amazing!"

Dylan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The sea in the sky, and there are still creatures in the sea!

This world is truly never short of surprises!

Soon, the pterosaur soared into the sea of clouds, continued upwards, and then arrived below another sea of clouds.

Ten thousand meters above the sea surface, this is the sea of clouds above the White Sea, also known as the White White Sea.

Roa used the same trick again, opening another hole, and soon they were above this sea of clouds.

Without even needing to use his Observation Haki, Roa had already spotted the two twin-shaped islands on the sea not far away.

A building entirely white—that's Angel Island.

A lush and verdant island called Sky Island.

Yes, flying up from Jaya Island was definitely the right decision.

Sky Island, we've arrived.

"Go there, Dylan."

Roa pointed to the top of the Sky Island.

The Golden Bell is right there.

"Yes, Boss!"

Dylan took flight.

The white sea of clouds swept past rapidly below, and in less than a minute, Dylan had carried Roa and Bege to the sky above the lush God Valley.

Here you can easily see a huge vine in the center of the island, shooting straight into the sky. Around the vine are several layers of clouds, and on the highest layer of clouds is a building.

Even shouts of battle could be heard coming from the forest below.

Dylan wondered to himself, "Are there still people living in this sky?"

However, he did not linger and, following Roa's instructions, flew towards the top of the giant vine.

On one side of the top of those vines, a white cloud also floated.

Um?

Above the white clouds, Dylan suddenly saw a golden light.

That is -

Dylan looked closely, and his eyes immediately filled with shock.

"How are you, Dylan?"

Roa asked with a smile.

The pterosaur landed above the clouds, and Dylan gazed up at the enormous creature before him, exclaiming, "Absolutely breathtaking!"

A huge Golden Bell lay silently before them.

Having endured countless years of wear and tear, the clock is covered in dust, with vines entwined around it.

Even so, its golden radiance remained dazzling and captivating.

Is it made entirely of gold?

Bege was completely shocked.

At the same time, he opened the door on his stomach, letting everyone out of his body.

And so, everyone was shocked.

"Could this be the light of Shandora Noland spoke of! The legendary Golden Bell?"

Teach was indeed knowledgeable and immediately recognized the origin of the enormous Golden Bell. His face was filled with astonishment. "It really exists! Hahaha! I knew Noland wasn't lying!"

"Buddha, if it were made entirely of gold, how much would it be worth!"

Doflamingo couldn't help but lick his lips; even when he was Celestial Dragons, he had never seen so much gold!

This Golden Bell is tens of meters tall! Just its presence here is like a small mountain!

"Etc!"

Abel's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked at the base of the Golden Bell.

There is a stone embedded there.

"Is that... the Poneglyph?"

"Poneglyph?"

Doflamingo's face lit up with joy instantly.

The Poneglyph were his most relied-upon resource, and as his strength gradually increased, one stone was soon not enough.

What great luck! We found another one!

Fish-Man Island has two more pieces!

We won't lack Poneglyph anytime soon!

Moreover, with those shipwrights researching Pluton's weapons... my future is truly promising!

"So, what is recorded here?"

The group gathered around the huge rock, and Moria asked with great curiosity.

"It's nothing, just the whereabouts of Aquaman."

"That's what I said casually, "Roa said.

But his gaze was fixed on one corner of the stone.

There was a sentence left there.

I came here to take all the secrets to the Laugh Tale —Gol D. Roger.

Has Roger already been here?

However, without Kozuki Oden, how did he manage to leave words on the stone?

Did they only stay by Haki attitude?

When Roa finished speaking, everyone was already shocked by his words.

"Boss, you mean, Aquaman?"

Even someone as composed as Dylan was stunned.

"No way? Pluton comes after Hades?"

Doflamingo was speechless.

Teach stared at Roa with amusement. "Seriously?! Are you kidding me?! What kind of luck does this guy have?! Is he going to collect two Ancient Weapons in one go?"

Also, can he decipher Ancient Script?

"Boss! Where is Aquaman again?"

Abel was equally excited.

Sure enough, the Boss is none other than Joy Boy of this era!

The boss is about to collect two of Joy Boy's three Ancient Weapons!

"It's too early."

Roa said calmly, "It's not time for the Sea King to be born yet."

"Birth?"

Everyone was somewhat taken aback.

Why use the word "birth"?

Could it be that Aquaman is some kind of creature?

"Okay, Bege,"

Roa looked at Bege, "Can this thing be stored inside your body?"

"Forehead!"

Bege looked up at the enormous creature before her, and cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead.

This is way too big!

"Um?"

Roa raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Bring it on!"

Bege instantly became covered in cold sweat, and his body immediately swelled up, transforming into a giant castle-like figure, with a huge door opening in his stomach.

Fortunately, although it was somewhat difficult, after Doflamingo reshaped the Golden Bell, he managed to stuff the gold into Bege's stomach.

As for whether it would be a pity to completely destroy the lights of Shandora, Roa said he didn't care at all.

Then, it's time to go and collect the treasures of the Golden Land.

The ruins of Golden Land were hidden inside a layer of clouds on the vines, so no one had discovered them for four hundred years.

However, when it flew down along the vines...

"Kill! Take back our homeland!"

"Drive all these guys off Sky Island!!"

At the base of the vines, two groups were locked in a fierce battle.

It's so lively!
