"Little girl! You seemed quite disappointed earlier. The Golden Bell is a sacred object of our clan, and we certainly cannot give it to you!"
Judging from your behavior, gold must be quite valuable in the Blue Sea. If you really need gold, you could try looking inside the Sky Lord's belly.
It has lived in Upper Yard for hundreds of years and has eaten a lot of relics. There should be a lot of gold in its belly. You can go inside its belly and look for it while it is sleeping!
If you really can't find it, I can take the liberty of breaking off a minor pillar from the Golden Bell and giving it to you!
The chief of Hidden Cloud Village hadn't drunk much. He approached Nami, who was still awake, and said this: he had seen the disappointment in Nami's eyes during the day, and after a little analysis, he knew what was going on.
Although the Straw Hat Pirates are pirates, they are very different from other pirates. Although they also like gold, they do not use force to steal it. In fact, they did not even mention the special significance of the Golden Bell!
The people of Shandora owed them something, and he felt bad for not repaying them at all, so he said those words to Nami.
Nami's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the chief's words, and her slight drunkenness mostly disappeared. After thanking the old chief, Nami immediately went to find Luffy. She was still a little scared to go into the Sky Lord's belly alone, but she wouldn't be afraid if Luffy was with her!
Then Luffy and Usopp became the porters, one with a footprint on his face and the other with a big bump on his head. As for Zoro and Sanji, they were already completely drunk and couldn't be woken up no matter what they did, and even physical force was useless.
Zoro, who already loved alcohol, and the sake from Sky Island had a unique flavor, accidentally drank too much. Sanji and the beauties from Hidden Cloud Village were having a great time, drinking who knows how much they had. He was still dreaming, pouting and kissing the air around. Nami got annoyed watching this, kicked Sanji, and then led Luffy and Usopp into Sky Lord maw.
Two months later, on a full moon night, Vic emerged from the heart of the Soul Tree and walked step by step toward the lake.
Although Vic was walking in the air, it felt more natural and relaxed than when he used Advanced Geppo to walk in the air before, and he truly had the feeling of being grounded.
The instant Vic left the Soul Tree Soul Tree, electricity crackled in the void above its canopy. Countless Inazuma gathered and intertwined, creating a powerful and oppressive spectacle. Waves of heaven and earth power radiated outwards, causing the various ferocious beasts gathered by the lake to tremble and prostrate themselves on the ground!
This wasn't a super-powerful tribulation brought about by Vic's breakthrough; it was more like the lightning welcoming its king, for today, their king had been born!
From a distance, the clustered and intertwined Inazuma, in terms of outline and shape, are exactly the same Vic Vic walking below, only many times larger!
The colossal Soul Tree, beneath the feet of the Inazuma Giant, resembled a divine throne supporting it!
Vic walked to the lake and stood firmly on the ground. He simply turned his back to the Soul Tree and waved his arm, and the Inazuma giant Soul Tree vanished without a trace.
Actually, this Inazuma giant was summoned by Vic unintentionally. He only spent a month and a half to fully comprehend the Law of Lightning and break through to the God Realm. He spent the remaining time comprehending the Law of Speed, but did not gain much.
In fact, Vic had almost grasped the Law of Lightning within the Rainbow Mist, but he dared not continue to comprehend it for fear of breaking through directly. That's why he was able to break through so quickly within the Soul Tree.
After leaving the Soul Tree, he summoned a massive amount of lightning with just a slight thought, truly like a thunder king, with all the lightning submitting to him and serving his purposes!
"Now the Seastone is indeed useless to me, and seawater is even less effective. My only weakness has disappeared, and my self-defense capabilities have increased significantly. I just wonder how many God Realm experts the Celestial Dragons have!"
After dispelling the lightning, Vic took out a Seastone Handcuffs from his Dimensional Ring, tried it on, and found that the Seastone had no effect on him anymore.
Previously, although he had trained to withstand the negative effects of Seastone and was no longer powerless to resist, his Devil Fruit ability seemed to be sealed and unusable. But now, he is as unaffected as if he were wearing ordinary handcuffs!
With a slight clench of his fist, Vic shattered the Seastone Handcuffs on his wrists. Looking around at the various ferocious beasts still prostrate on the ground, Vic picked one that looked appetizing and began to process it.
Having broken through to the God Realm, Vic appeared outwardly calm, but inwardly he was extremely happy and excited, so he wanted to treat himself to something delicious.
The chosen animal dared not resist Vic's actions, but the moment Vic touched it, it forgot all its troubles and worries, as if it had entered paradise, its soul seemingly freed from its body and attained eternal bliss! What was happening to its body had nothing to do with it anymore!
" Rebecca! How have you been these past two months? Has anything happened to the Straw Hat Pirates?"
After preparing the delicious food, Vic called Rebecca, asking about the events of the past two months while eating. He was still somewhat concerned about Luffy and the others' voyage; a lot could have happened in two months.
However, with Rebecca watching over him, there shouldn't be any major problems. Vic is quite confident in Rebecca's abilities, but he's worried that some unexpected situation might arise that even Rebecca wouldn't be able to react in time. That's why Vic thought of asking her.
" The Straw Hat Pirates you asked me to keep an eye on are really good at causing trouble! I've never seen such a restless pirate crew. They cause a ton of trouble wherever they go. Luckily, they're strong enough to handle it, otherwise, with all the chaos they cause..."
Rebecca briefly recounted to Vic what had happened to the Straw Hat Pirates over the past two months, starting with their trip to Jaya. Before learning that the Straw Hat Pirates had gone to heaven, she was filled with anxiety.
Later, when they came down from the Sky Island and Rebecca received the information, the Straw Hat Pirates had already arrived at Long Ring Long Land.
When Rebecca arrived at Long Ring Long Land, Luffy and his crew were having a competition with the Foxy Pirates. Rebecca watched a thrilling battle for crewmates!
When she saw the Straw Hat Pirates suffer a setback, Rebecca had no intention of intervening. Vic had told her not to get involved unless her life was in danger, and that with the strength of her old acquaintance Foxy the Silver Fox, there was no need to worry about the Straw Hat Pirates's safety.
Rebecca was really annoyed by Foxy. She had been careless and fell victim to his Devil Fruit power, which led to her being captured and used as a hostage to threaten Vic. Thinking about it now, it was humiliating to be defeated by such a weak pirate. It was unbelievable!
