So, does this mean we no longer need to uphold our ancestors' wishes?!
Has the perseverance that lasted for 800 years and countless generations finally come to an end in our generation?
That's wonderful, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, we would have continued to hold out until the extinction of our tribe...
Upon hearing what Robin said to him, the chieftain couldn't hold back his tears, which streamed down his face as he spoke emotionally.
"Hmm, that leaves only that one, the one we all hold fast to— the Golden Bell Tower!!"
My old friends, you don't need to act like that anymore... Congratulations!
Gan Fall then came over and spoke to him, genuinely happy for the Shandia.
"Yes, this is our only mission from now on: to work with you to protect Shandora's pride— the Golden Bell Tower."
The chieftain wiped his eyes with his arm and spoke with a joyful tone.
"By the way, if you don't mind, please stay a little longer. We have a gift we'd like to offer you."
To thank you for defeating Enel, we have all decided to give you the fallen Golden Bell as a token of our gratitude!
The clan chief then revealed news that would surprise her greatly.
"Bring the gifts up!"
The two of them turned to the crowd below and gave instructions.
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
Quick, lift it up with all your might!
A squad leader directed the crowd to wrap a huge golden pillar in cloth and carry it over with the others.
"This is...?! Is this alright? We can't ring the Golden Bell without it..."
Robin asked, puzzled.
"Oh, it's alright, we already have helpers to ring the Golden Bell, look..."
As the clan leader spoke, he pointed to a giant python below, which belonged to the Lord of the Sky.
"..."
Robin still looked at him with some confusion.
"Little girl, you think it won't help us at all, right...?"
The clan chief, seeing Robin's expression, understood her question.
"Yes... this giant python caused us all a lot of trouble before. Will it really listen to you and obediently ring the Golden Bell?!"
"Haha, I don't know why, but the Lord of the Sky has been weeping ever since he saw this Golden Bell, and he is very obedient to our master's orders."
So you don't need to be so polite with us anymore, let our people help you transport it to your ship!
The chieftain took the initiative to explain the situation to Robin, which finally put her at ease enough to accept the gift.
"Alright, now we only need Robin. Everyone just need to wait a little longer, and then we'll be the Monopoly Pirates..."
As she spoke, Nami's eyes turned into Beli symbols, shining brightly as she addressed the others.
"Hahaha, right, right? I told you there was treasure! I told you I was right!"
Luffy said with a grin.
He was the one who insisted on the existence of the Sky Island and finally arrived here with the help of the two ape brothers and their fleet, ultimately intercepting the treasure.
"Yes, yes, it was my fault. I should have trusted you in the first place."
Nami, who was the most opposed to Luffy at the time, has now found a large amount of treasure and finally verbally admitted defeat to Luffy, acknowledging her mistake.
"Now only Robin hasn't arrived yet, we just need to wait a little longer."
Usopp and Chopper stood on a tall boulder, gazing into the distance, and said...
"Why do we have to wait for that woman?! We can just leave..."
Zoro, looking impatient, spoke to the others, seemingly wanting to abandon Robin and return to the ship.
"You heartless, Moss Head, how dare you say such a thing! Take it back!"
His words immediately provoked the crowd's anger. Sanji, Chopper, Usopp, and the others all attacked him, and soon the group was grappling with each other.
"Hmm... I saw her. Robin and the Sky People are rushing here..."
At that moment, Nami, who had been observing, suddenly spoke up, interrupting their fight.
"Hey, Robin, come back quickly, we need to set sail..."
Luffy her and called out, then turned around and pointed to the large bag of treasure he was carrying on his back.
"Hmm... it seems they don't want this anymore. I should go back with them then. Goodbye..."
Seeing the packages behind Luffy and the others, Robin knew what they had gained, so she turned around and spoke to the people before following the others.
"Ah... wait, please accept this as a token of our gratitude..."
Thus, the Straw Hat crew kept running, believing that the crowd behind them wanted them to leave behind the treasure they had found.
The Sky People behind them wanted to give them a gift of thanks, but thought they were too modest and refused to accept it, so they chased after them desperately.
Robin, who knew the truth, simply smiled and followed them without saying a word until they returned to the ship.
"Phew... that scared me to death! I thought they were really going to let us stay..."
When the group finally returned to the ship, Usopp breathed a sigh of relief and said thankfully.
"That was definitely a weapon they used against us. If we hadn't escaped quickly enough, they would have caught us, forced us to hand over all our treasure, and then subjected us to the cruelest torture. Yes, that must be it..."
Usopp once again analyzed the situation using his usual way of thinking, ending with a confident expression.
"Huh... is that really true?"
Luffy and Chopper said in unison.
His performance successfully convinced the people on the ship that, well, a fool and a simple reindeer.
"How could that be? Don't believe that kid."
Zoro shook his head in denial, then walked to the mast and sat down to rest.
"..."
Robin, who knew the whole story, just smiled and didn't explain anything to them.
"Well then, goodbye everyone. Thank you so much for everything you've done for this Sky Island! Thank you so much!!"
At the harbor, Conis bowed to them in thanks.
"Heh, no need for such formalities. We only attacked Enel for the sake of our comrades. No need for such a grand gesture. Get up, Conis!!"
Nami helped her up with both hands and explained modestly.
"Okay, next, I will use the Sky Island's specialty—the Sky Octopus—to send you down. Please don't worry about the journey ahead."
"Following the current ahead, you'll reach the passage to the Blue Sea; no need to worry."
call out!!
After Conis finished speaking, she took out a whistle and blew it. Then, a giant inflatable octopus appeared above their ship, its eight octopus legs firmly gripping the entire vessel.
To everyone's astonishment, the Going Merry slowly descended towards the Blue Sea below.
ah...
Despite being prepared, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper still couldn't help but scream loudly.
The group finally ended their journey to the Sky Island and began a new voyage and adventure.
