"Hahaha, this is the Golden Bell?"
Enel, piloting the Maxim Ark, easily found the giant Golden Bell located above the clouds.
"That's spectacular!"
He sighed, the Golden Bell before him perfectly matching the aesthetics of the gods. "I will take it with me to the Endless Vearth... Hmm?"
Within Enel's Mantra, he sensed that the group of little insects from the Blue Ocean were not biting their fingers and trembling, but were actually playing tricks on each other.
" Luffy can't reach the ark, so cut down this giant vine and use it as a bridge to get Luffy up there."
As for what happened next?
Then let's see Luffy does.
"I'll do it."
When not reciting poetry, Zoro is a ruthless and taciturn man, suddenly charging towards the giant vines and bringing his sword down with a swift motion.
Zoro's strength is also rapidly increasing, enabling him to cut through iron and unleash sword energy; this giant plant can no longer hinder his blade.
cut!
As the blade flashed, a piece of what was once a skyscraper, like two twining vines reaching upwards, silently fell from the middle.
"That's not enough, there's another one," Shiraishi said slowly.
He originally intended to do it himself, but Zoro was so enthusiastic that he gave up the chance to show off.
Usopp, standing there talking without any sense of responsibility, shouted, " Zoro, one more time!"
"You can treat me like this... never mind..."
Zoro still had his pride; having already spoken, he couldn't take it back. Just as he struggled to his feet, preparing to unleash his second strike, the Shandia warrior Wyper, who had been silent all along, stood up.
"Why are you so obsessed with challenging Enel? Blue Sea people."
Unlike the Shandians or Angel Island who live on Sky Island, the Straw Hat Pirates are just a group of tourists. When faced with this kind of situation, the wisest choice is to simply walk away.
Shiraishi shrugged and said, "That won't do. If we don't ring the Golden Bell and let Uncle Diamond Face know that Shandora is here, he'll spend his whole life searching in the sea."
"The middle-aged man with the diamond-shaped face?"
In response to Wyper's doubts, Shiraishi explained.
"It was an uncle we met named Wenblan Kulik, who had been salvaging the ocean beneath this island to prove that his ancestors hadn't lied."
"By the way, his ancestor was a very famous person." Shiraishi shrugged and said, "His name was Venbula Noland."
!
Wyper was filled with shock. That was the great benefactor of the Shandians four hundred years ago. Because the Knock Up Stream swept Shandora into the sky, he was executed for being called a big liar.
These Wyper already knew about it from other people who occasionally came to the 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.
Just then, the giant serpent recalled its past, awoke from its charred state, and began to frantically strike the vines.
The enormous vines leaned slightly to the west.
Seeing this, Robin shook his head. "Not enough."
"Leave the other side of the vine to me."
Peng!
Leaping suddenly to the other side of the giant vine, the charred warrior Wyper aimed his palm at the vine and shouted, " Reject Dial!"
boom.
The massive vine was blasted open, creating a hole the size of a basketball court, and Wyper, already battered and bruised, was sent flying backward by the overuse of his Reject Dial.
"Go on, kid from the Blue Sea!"
"Go and ring the Golden Bell, for us Shandians to pay tribute to the descendants of our benefactor."
"Offering lights 400 years overdue!"
"Oh oh oh~~~~~"
Dragging the giant golden ball, Luffy Luffy up the slowly collapsing giant vines.
Ark Maxim in the sky, toward the man named Enel who called himself God.
I must ring the Golden Bell!
Luffy roared, and Nami caught up from behind. Seeing the vines leaning, she understood what he was about to do. "Seriously, they're all hopeless idiots!"
" Luffy, get on top! I'm going to use the Jet Breath Dial's maximum power!"
"Oh!" Luffy grinned.
"Madness!"
Enel, standing on the deck of the Ark Maxim, merely observed coldly.
He only needs to move the ark to the side a little bit, and the other side's bridge will become useless.
"That won't do."
Shiraishi adjusted the direction in which the vines fell, ensuring that Enel wouldn't get his way.
Kakaka~~
The giant vines, slowly collapsing, simultaneously changed direction, their tips once again pointing towards Enel's Ark Maxim.
And what came rushing upwards along the vines, dragging the golden ball, was Luffy's powerful roar.
"Don't even think about escaping, you big-eared monster!"
Enel could have flown away on the Ark, paused, stopping in place to face Nami and Luffy as they continued their ascent.
"Pathetic monkey,"
"You dare to try and get close to me? You're overestimating yourself!"
Enel's lightning had absolutely no effect on Luffy, but it worked on other things.
Crack!
A long chain of lightning ripped through the sky and struck the top of the vines in an instant.
How could a plant shrunk to the thickness of a person possibly withstand Enel's thunderous power?
The vines burst open, Nami's Waver was about to fall to the ground Luffy suddenly, shouting, "Come on!"
"Wow! Mr. Shiraishi, Unohana, anyone will do, please help me!"
The vines began to break and fall, Nami started praying to the gods, her face turning pale with fright.
She didn't want to die.
"You wretched... you Blue Sea monkey!"
Facing Luffy's furious expression, Enel, who considered himself a god, gritted his teeth and revealed his anger.
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"
!
The arm holding the golden sphere was extended and rotated by Luffy, twisting into a long braid to gather power.
Then, with a sudden flick of his wrist, he aligned himself with Enel on the Maxim Ark and the Golden Bell behind him, forming a straight line.
Now! I'm going to ring the bell for you too!
Luffy of vigor and high spirits.
"Presumptuous!
"Two hundred million volts."
In an instant, Enel transformed into a muscular, lightning giant, his lower body surrounded by thunderclouds, and unleashed a mighty roar more powerful and awe-inspiring than thunder and raging waves, " God of Thunder!"
You said you wanted to ring the Golden Bell?!
Every roar resonated with the Mamaragan, and every exhale caused the wind to howl.
Above the thunderclouds, lightning bolts stretched from the sky to the earth, constantly swaying and rolling, bursting with flashes as if cheering for their king.
"Just because you're a Paramecia, how many more 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 finished charging and bounced back violently.
It spun at a terrifying speed and hurtled towards the colossal God of Thunder atop the ark!
This punch not only unleashed Luffy's strongest power, but also benefited from the high-speed rotation and immense mass of the golden sphere itself.
Faced with this overwhelming punch, Enel made the most foolish decision ever.
"Hahaha, watch me stop you..."
Kacha.
The golden Trident in his hand exploded instantly, Luffy's Riot Games rapidly enlarged through Enel's hole in the giant golden sphere.
Unable to stop it... Enel's eyes widened.
clang!
The invincible God of Thunder was slammed hard against the Golden Bell behind him.
Amidst the deafening tolling of bells, Luffy, caught by Shiraishi after the Golden Ball shattered, Luffy, "You did a great job."
"Haha, can the uncles hear me?" Luffy opened his eyes, his face full of worry.
"Yes, I'll definitely hear it!" Shiraishi gave an affirmative answer, his eyes looking down at Enel, who had lost consciousness and fallen, and the Maxim Ark, which had also begun to fall after losing its master.
The thunderclouds dissipated, and the sound of bells echoed.
The sound of bells, 400 years apart, resounded far and wide, reaching even the Jaya Island, thousands of meters below.
It cleared Noland's name, brought an end to the Straw Hat Pirates ' battle, and put a pause on the destruction of Sky Island.
"However, Enel is truly brave."
Shiraishi carried the exhausted Luffy down, saying, "As a mage, why didn't you choose teleportation instead of resorting to close combat?"
"He also has a bit of divine dignity, doesn't he?"
Luffy replied that although he had dodged many times, he ultimately chose to stay and uphold the dignity of his god, which was commendable in its courage.
"That's true."
At this moment, on Jaya Island.
"Uncle..."
"This voice... there's no mistake..."
Ever since the Straw Hat Pirates took off with the Knock Up Stream, neither the Undersea Salvage Alliance nor the Undersea Exploration Alliance has gone out to work. They've been staying on this small island, and no one knows what they're hoping for.
Even today.
"Yes, that's right."
Uncle Mont Blanc Cricket, a diamond-shaped man with a chestnut on his head, looked up at the sky.
"How romantic!"
"A bell rang from the sky." The Masira looked shocked.
"That's truly terrifying," the Shoujou echoed.
"Only that bell can produce such a sound. There's a saying about the monster that appeared with Cumuloregalis..."
There may be inhabitants in the distant sky, and when the intense light casts their shadows into the distance, they appear as enormous monsters to those on the ground.
I heard the sound of the giant Golden Bell. The City of Gold is real; it's in the air. Noland... my ancestors... weren't lying. You wanted to tell me this fact from the sky, didn't you?
The middle-aged man with the diamond-shaped face looked up at the huge shadow of the boy in the sky, and at the person who was holding him.
"Kid, the City of Gold is right there, isn't it!"
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
"Hey, boss, are you feeling unwell?"
Faced with the concern of the Masira and Shoujou, the uncle, who lowered his head to wipe away his tears, shook his head.
"They're all safe and sound... that's wonderful!"
He had to place his life's wishes on someone else.
If this leads to their deaths... no one is more worried about the Straw Hat Pirates ' flying journey than Mont Blanc Cricket.
" Masira, Shoujou."
The middle-aged man with the diamond-shaped face turned around and bowed to the two men who had taken it upon themselves to become his subordinates and had been salvaging in this sea area for ten years.
"For the past ten years, you've all been there for me! Thank you."
"Boss! We did it voluntarily!"
"Yes, please don't send me away."
"What are you talking about?" the diamond-faced uncle laughed as he straightened up. "My duel with my ancestors is over, so the next step..."
I'm going to find the legendary Dream City.
"You're willing..." Before the diamond-faced uncle could finish speaking, the Masira and Shoujou had already excitedly pounced on him.
"We are willing!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
A man's romance never ends.
Sky, Angel Island.
"Look over there!"
The people of the Sky Island Sky Island, who were trying to escape, saw a giant ship fall from the sky.
That's God's ship!
"It's God!"
He sank...
"God Enel and his ship! They've sunk!"
The people of the Sky Island shouted.
The bells just now were indeed... the Light of Shandora, celebrating the city's past glory!
It is also an island song that heralds the end of the war!
It was the promised bell that rang twice, four hundred years later.
No matter how long the journey to Jaya Island may have been, the distant memories have never been forgotten.
Because people in the past entrusted their heartfelt feelings to the sound of bells and to the songs that resounded across the ends of the earth.
Shiraishi carried Luffy down, and the wounded were gathered together and treated by Retsu Unohana and Chopper.
Luffy joined in as well.
Usopp leaned over and said, " Luffy, haha, we won!"
"Prepare a banquet!" Luffy, disregarding his injuries, raised his hand, ready to start the banquet.
Retsu Unohana glanced at him, "Lie down quietly."
"Oh." Luffy stalled.
Night falls.
"God, return to where you belong."
Seated on the golden throne of the Maxim Ark, Enel, panting, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's reputation for being invincible is not just empty talk.
His attack power is among the highest in the Logia, along with his superhuman physique honed by lightning day and night, and his Observation Haki enhanced over a wide area.
"Anything blocking my view should not exist in this sky..."
Enel consoled himself for his defeat, muttering, "I was so stupid. Why did I have to stoop to the level of those ants on the ground?"
"Hahaha, no one is allowed to take that from me... my Endless Vearth of dreams..."
Leaning back on his golden throne, Enel looked up at the crescent moon in the sky.
In a daze, I recalled my hometown: Birka.
When exactly did it begin?
It was when I was still an infant that my father carried me to a magnificent temple outside the city.
I read the teachings inscribed by my ancestors over and over again as my daily practice.
He still had to silently recite the ancestral precepts ten times every day while eating, bathing, and sleeping. He even had to think about them constantly, because his father would ask questions out of the blue.
If you can't answer within three seconds, you'll get a beating...
Or perhaps, amidst the praise and adoration of the entire city, when his grandfather, who had spent his life as a high priest, died, he tightly grasped his father's hand and cried out, "Go back, go back!"
His face, full of longing, is still vivid in Enel's mind even now.
I also remember my father's words, "Find a way to return to our true home, the Endless Vearth."
With each echo of those voices, a seed was planted in Enel's heart: the Endless Vearth was his home.
As the Maxim Ark continued to ascend, the bright celestial body in the Enel's aperture grew larger and larger.
"So beautiful~~" he exclaimed.
"Go, Maxim, to that Endless Vearth that shines in the night sky, our true home."
