I left quietly, just as quietly as I came.
I wave my sleeves, leaving not a trace behind.
Of course, the golden pillar is an exception!
Kazu disappeared from the spot, and the children who came to play there the next day discovered that the golden pillar that had always been lying there had vanished.
He was so frightened that he ran home to call his mother. Although they didn't need the gold, they couldn't just watch it disappear into thin air.
As a result, a group of elderly people, children, and women searched for several days, but Huang Jinzhu was nowhere to be found. In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
For some time afterward, this event was known as the disappearance of the golden pillar.
After obtaining the gold, Kazu returned to Angel Beach and found several local residents chatting with Makino and her group.
Ah, and there's also Carlmand's just gotten ashore and is a bit dazed.
"Captain Kazu, Carlmand, you two are back."
"These are residents of Angel Island. Let's tell them our adventure stories."
"We can all have a banquet together then."
Behrens was in a great mood; the people were nice, the scenery was beautiful, and the fruit was plentiful.
Even the sky today seems bluer than usual.
"Haha, that's great! A banquet is more lively with more people!"
"That's right, that's right, seven more people. I'll go to Yunhai again; this amount of fish isn't enough for us."
After saying that, Carlmand plunged headfirst into the sea of clouds once again.
Fish: This guy has no sportsmanship, he actually turned around and attacked! Brothers, let's keep running!
That night, a bonfire was lit at Angel Beach, and the local population had grown from seven to more than fifty.
Everyone gathered together to eat meat, drink wine, and dance; the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Indeed, a banquet is more lively with more people."
"Yes, yes, please tell us more stories about the Blue Sea. We really enjoy them."
The night was short, and the party didn't end until dawn.
" Kazu, you said you were going to get that stick yesterday, what kind of stick is it that you're so interested in?"
Seeing the curious looks on everyone's faces, Kazu didn't try to hide anything.
The residents of Angel Island have all gone home to rest; only a few of them remain here.
Thump~
Kazu took out the golden pillar and landed it on Angel Beach with a thud.
"What?!"
"This is..."
Not to mention Carlmand was shocked, even Robin, who wasn't particularly interested in money, was taken aback.
"That's right, just as you thought, this thing is Pure Gold."
"In other words, from today onwards, our Blond Hair Pirates will never be short of money again."
Kazu casually pulled out a recliner, elegantly lay down on it, and held the unfinished wine from the banquet in his hand.
But in the eyes of Carlmand and Behrens, it was simply incredibly handsome.
"As expected of Captain Kazu, his ability to make money has always been so strong."
"My admiration for Captain Kazu is like a mighty river, flowing endlessly, and like the ocean of the Grand Line —unstoppable."
Still excited, Carlmand turned to look at Behrens with disgust and said, " Behrens, why have you suddenly become so disgusting? Get away from me, and get away from my godfather too."
"Godfather?"
Carlmand's words left Kazu and the others somewhat confused. There were only a few of them there; where was this Carlmand godfather?
"That's right."
" Kazu, if you do not abandon me, Carlmand is willing to become your disciple..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Kazu simply covered Carlmand's greasy mouth with his hand.
Stop fooling around with me, you two.
After Kazu finished speaking, he felt disgusted when he saw the pitiful looks in their eyes.
"From now on, the activity budget will be doubled, so get lost."
"Yay! Long live Captain Kazu!"
Seeing the two of them leave him happily, Kazu shook his head with a smile.
"Those two are still so interesting."
Robin then went to the golden pillar and carefully examined its surface.
"This appears to be a very old pillar, probably several hundred years old."
It's no wonder she's Robin; she can analyze things so accurately even with such limited conditions.
"That's right, this is part of the legendary City of Gold of Shandora."
" The Shandia lived there, but four hundred years ago, due to Knock Up Stream, the City of Gold was washed ashore on this Sky Island, and thus, the world can no longer find City of Gold."
" The City of Gold also became a legend with the death of Mont Blanc Noland."
Robin finally understood after hearing Kazu's explanation.
She had heard stories about the great liar Noland before, but she never imagined that the City of Gold in the story was actually real.
