Golden Bell! Enel! Split into Two Teams! Attack Enies Lobby!
"When!"
"When!"
"When!"
Clear and magnificent, graceful and splendid.
The enormous Golden Bell swayed slowly, its massive pendulum, crafted entirely of Pure Gold, gently striking the bell's surface, sending sound waves slowly spreading.
Ian simply stood quietly beneath the Golden Bell, gazing up at the massive Golden Bell as it swayed slowly.
This is the top of the sky world.
Higher than 7,000 meters above the sea surface is the White White Sea, which lies 10,000 meters above the sea surface.
Even higher than the White White Sea is this unique and unparalleled mud island in the sky, the center of the God's Island, where a giant vine runs through the entire God's Island and extends into the depths of the sky.
Even higher than these vines is this small floating Sky Island that drifts in the sky.
Even higher than this Sky Island of only a few hundred square meters lies the Golden Bell, which has been sleeping here for four hundred years, the light of the Golden Land of Shandora.
After finishing their data collection in Birka, Ian led his friends to the Heaven's Gate, then climbed the Spiral Skyway to reach Angel Island.
Then all you need to do is fly over again.
The Golden Bell was easily found here.
This is the bell where Noland and Calgara made their vow.
Ian told his friends the story of the Great Talker and the Great Warrior from four hundred years ago, and the emotional friends were immediately moved to tears.
Dorry and Brogy almost burst into tears.
A man's promise is to be kept even at the cost of his life!
So, at everyone's request, Ian rang the enormous Golden Bell.
The melodious and enchanting sound of bells slowly spread from the top of the sky in all directions.
Towards higher skies, towards farther horizons.
Facing downwards.
Towards the God's Island.
Heading towards Angel Island.
Towards the village of the Skypieans.
Towards all the islands in the White White Sea, towards all the islands in the sky.
Then.
The message finally reached Blue Sea and landed directly below Jaya Island.
The pirates gathered here looked up in surprise.
Just as surprised as they were, so were many, many people in the sky.
But it had nothing to do with Ian anymore.
Will Noland's descendants hear this?
Yamato looked up at the enormous golden bell.
Ian smiled.
At this point in time, the middle-aged man with the diamond-shaped face should not have gone to Jaya Island yet, but...
"As long as he inherits Noland's will, he will hear it one day."
Ian said.
"Crackling and clattering!"
Brogy laughed heartily, "Because it's right here!"
Yamato smiled as well.
Yes.
It's right here.
"So,"
Luo looked up with some regret, "Should we just leave such a huge Golden Bell here?"
"Don't say such unromantic things, Luo."
Ian said slowly, "Let future generations see it; there's no need to hold onto it."
In Ian's view, the Golden Bell is a scenic view, not a treasure.
Well, when I, Yi, become the King of the World, I will designate this place as a world-class 5A scenic area.
Luo curled his lip.
True, what can you expect from someone as wealthy and powerful as Ian?
Their weapons business has already spread all over the world.
The territory they controlled had become ridiculously large, and their wealth was simply immeasurable.
But.
Ian's gaze moved downwards, finally settling on the base of the Golden Bell, where a huge Poneglyph was embedded.
The Golden Bell can be kept, but the Poneglyph that records Aquaman's identity should be left out.
Fish-Man Island is now an important partner of the Beasts Pirates, so how could they leave behind something that would only cause them trouble?
This is the resolve of the partners in Wano Country!
Ian used the Divine Wrath Flame to erase all the text from the Poneglyph.
In that case, there shouldn't be any problem.
Then, it was time to leave.
Without a second thought, Ian led his friends back to the Golden Flying Dragon, which was stored on God's Island, and then soared into the sky.
They headed straight away from the sea of clouds.
Gan Fall was somewhat bewildered, leaving only the Sky Island God on God's Island.
These people came on strong, and he and his Divine Soldiers were no match for them.
He once thought the entire God's Domain was doomed.
But to my surprise, this group left so easily?
Don't they have any interest in the Sky Island at all?
Of course, I have no interest in it.
The only three things in this sky that could attract Ian's attention were Birka's history, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and the Golden Bell.
Now that all three goals have been achieved, Ian naturally has no regrets.
There was even an unexpected bonus this time.
Ian, at least, never expected to find such a blueprint in Birka.
Since the most educated person on the Golden Flying Dragon was Ian Benn, and he wasn't a science or engineering expert, he couldn't determine the true value of the blueprints.
But Ian's intuition told him that this blueprint must be quite remarkable.
After all, it's far too complex; simple creations wouldn't need such intricate and precise design drawings.
We'll have to wait until we return to Wano Country to see what Uncle Queen has to say for more details.
He is absolutely a top-notch talent in weapons manufacturing.
Ian took the Golden Flying Dragon straight away from the White White Sea, crossed the edge of the sea of clouds, then drifted down with the wind, and finally gently landed on the sea surface.
After several days of flying through the air, they finally returned to the sea once again.
"It's like a dream."
Black Maria, still somewhat exhilarated, said, "I still can't believe it, we really went through a great adventure in the sky."
"I'll take you to explore the universe sometime."
Ian smiled.
The conditions aren't right now, but that might change once we build a flying machine based on these blueprints.
If Enel's wrecked ship could fly to the moon, then replicating it exactly as it's designed and building a spaceship capable of soaring through space shouldn't be a problem, right?
"I want to go to the moon!"
Upon hearing Ian's words, Yamato excitedly raised his right hand, "I want to see what kind of place the Bikans lived back then!"
"Sounds good, doesn't it?"
Luo's eyes lit up. "The Bikans migrated to the Blue Sea, but surely no Blue Sea People has ever been to the moon?"
Hehehehe!
While drinking, Dorry chuckled and chimed in, "Could you reserve a couple of tickets for us too? We'd like to see the moon and all that too."
"That's certainly not a problem."
Ian chuckled, then glanced at a corner of the deck. "So, what about you, Enel? Would you like to come with us?"
The great god of Birka, Enel, was huddled beside the deck, staring at Ian with fierce eyes like a stray dog by the roadside.
All he could do was stare at Ian.
The shackles on his hands were made of high-purity Seastone, which not only completely suppressed his abilities but also stripped him of his physical strength to a minimum, rendering him unable to move.
However, no matter how much Enel resented Ian, at least at this moment, after hearing Ian's words, he couldn't help but waver.
"You mean, Infinite Land?"
But this wavering was swallowed up by his inherent arrogance in the next second. He sneered, "Wherever I want to go, I will go myself. Why would I need your help?"
"That's because, of course,"
Ian laughed and said, "If you choose to reject me, then the only place you can go is heaven."
Enel's pupils contracted instantly.
He certainly didn't want to die.
But.
"Do you think you can make me bow down by threatening me?"
Enel scoffed.
Isn't that incredibly disrespectful?
"How about we make a bet, Enel?"
Ian knew, of course, that Enel wasn't a man who would easily back down, so he said, "I'll take your heart, and once you snatch it back from me, I'll give you your freedom."
"But until then, you must obey my orders for the time being."
"Heart?"
Enel immediately looked at Law.
Although he didn't see the moment Law took Ohm's heart, he did see Law return it.
"Anyway, you can't resist now, can you?"
Ian smiled. "Don't worry, unless you choose to run away, I won't intentionally damage your heart."
"How about it? Want to take a gamble? A gamble that you can surpass me in the future and win everything back from me."
Luo couldn't help but want to laugh.
Ian completely fooled this guy.
In other words, they were taking advantage of this lightning idiot who was completely unaware of the situation on the high seas and what the name Ian of the Scorched Sky meant.
How could anyone in the world become stronger faster Ian?
The gap is already enormous, and it will only widen further in the future.
However, Enel was unaware of this.
Nobody told him that.
"Or rather,"
Ian smiled and said, "You can also choose to die."
Enel thought for a moment, then said, "As long as I can get the heart back, you'll keep your promise, right?"
Ian shrugged. "I have no reason to lie to you."
"Good!"
Enel nodded emphatically.
His eyes were darting around, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Excellent!"
Ian snapped his fingers happily, "Ro."
"Learn."
Luo stepped forward spontaneously.
He seized Enel's heart and then unlocked the Seastone Handcuffs binding him, all in one swift motion.
Later.
Ian leaned against the ship's bow, tossing a heart up and down in his hand— Enel's heart.
He looked at Enel, who had recovered from his weakness and was getting up from the ground to move around, and asked with a light laugh, "How are you feeling?"
Enel touched his chest.
The hole that Ian had punched had been healed by Law's miraculous surgery.
So.
"Give it back to me!"
In the next instant, Enel transformed into Inazuma, teleporting instantly in front of Ian and reaching out to grab the heart.
We succeeded!!
But.
Bump.
A powerful punch landed on Enel's head.
This single punch caused Enel's entire face to cave in, his consciousness was knocked away, and his eyes instantly became unfocused.
Swoosh.
It flew hundreds of meters like a cannonball and crashed heavily into the sea in the distance.
"Someone go and pull him out."
Ian folded his fist and said lazily.
"Yes!"
A Fish-Man instantly leaped into the sea and swam towards that direction.
"Ian, wasn't that a bit too much?"
Black Maria said with a smile.
That punch will probably keep that guy in bed for days; he won't be able to get up for a while.
"Let him quiet down a bit."
Ian laughed and said, "Otherwise it would be too noisy."
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's destructive power is still too great. If one isn't a little careful, it won't affect oneself, but the Golden Flying Dragon is easily destroyed.
This is likely to be a long and arduous journey of training the eagle.
But that's okay, there's plenty of time, let's take it slow.
After an unknown amount of time in the darkness, Enel opened his eyes.
Headache!
He subconsciously rubbed his head, and the first thing he felt after sitting up was an unbearable headache.
My head feels like it's going to explode.
What happened?
He was bewildered.
All he remembered was trying to get his heart back, then everything went black, and he remembered nothing more.
"Stop rubbing."
A soft voice came from behind.
Enel suddenly looked up and saw that the brat named Law had opened the cabin door and was quietly watching him.
"Four days have passed, and your injuries are almost completely healed."
Luo said.
He seemed to remember something, and added another sentence.
"But it's normal for you to have a headache, since Ian said he wanted you to have some peace and quiet, so he had me give you sleeping pills for a few days."
Enel's fist hardened instantly.
That bastard!!
Almost subconsciously, the Mantra spread out.
The next second, Enel had transformed into lightning and could not disappear from Law's sight.
"Oh."
Luo feigned surprise.
Rumble-Rumble Fruit, awesome!
The next moment, Enel appeared directly on the deck of the Golden Flying Dragon.
But before he could do anything, his body went completely numb.
"You've come at the perfect time!"
Enel heard Ian's voice, "I have a task for you."
It's that trick again!
Enel was practically gritting his teeth.
We can't Elementalization anymore!
What is this?!
If he can't counter this move, then he has absolutely no chance of winning against this bastard.
"Do you see that island over there?"
Enel instinctively looked up upon hearing this.
Then he saw an island.
A peculiar island with a pointed shape, resembling a fountain.
Even though he was angry, Enel couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
This is the first time I've ever seen islands in the Blue Sea Lake.
Ian said, "Go to the island later and find me something similar. If you find it, I'll teach you how to become stronger."
"I don't need your instruction!"
Enel instinctively remained defiant.
But he stood up straight.
Will this guy teach me how to counter his move?
"Luo!"
Ian shouted at the top of his lungs.
"They're here, they're here."
Wearing a spotted hat, Luo ran out of the cabin. "What is it now?"
Ian pointed to the island in the distance, the island called Water 7, "Later, you and Enel go to Water 7 get me something, then come back and meet us."
"Um?"
He thought for a moment, "It would be much simpler if Violet came along too."
"I?"
Violet, who was watching the drama unfold, pointed blankly to herself.
Am I not a clerical worker?
When will we have to go out on fieldwork?
"Me and Enel?"
Luo frowned, glancing at Enel, then at Ian. "Is it just the two of us? Where are you?"
Violet was furious. "Hey! You brat! What about me?!"
"We won't be going to Water 7."
Ian said, "The World Government has been keeping an eye on this island."
The government probably suspected long ago that the blueprints for Pluton were in Water 7, and it wouldn't be wise to approach them directly now.
So.
"We will attack Enies Lobby directly."
Ian said, "I'll come back to meet you after I get the stuff."
"Understood."
Luo nodded slightly.
"So."
Ian turned around.
"Crackling and clattering!"
Hehehehehe!
The two giants had already begun to laugh wildly.
Let's go.
