Chapter 232
Ultimately, they're just frogs in a well.
Salt grabbed Enel and then stepped back into the air to return to Naito's side.
"You don't even know Haki is, what's there to talk about?"
Anthony Bear shrugs.
Naito just chuckled.
Strictly speaking, Enel is very one-sided in his studies.
If we're really talking about destructive power, even Anthony and Salt combined can't compare to him. Enel's destructive power is definitely in the top tier below the Four Emperors Admiral.
But there was nothing he could do; his birthplace was too remote, and he didn't even know what Armament Haki was, so his physical skills were simply too weak.
In close combat, any Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters could easily beat him to a pulp.
That's why they say he's a frog in a well.
But that's okay, you can learn to Haki.
Enel's future is still very promising.
Chapter 158 The Golden Bell! Enel feigns compliance.
"Wow!"
Anthony was almost speechless, exclaiming incredulously, "Is this the Golden Bell Noland was talking about?"
White clouds floated above the giant vines, and in front of them was a small floating Sky Island made of Island Cloud.
In the center of the Sky Island, Naito and the others stood before a giant golden bell that stood silently.
It is so enormous that the pillar supporting the bell alone is tens of meters high, not to mention the heavy golden base and the massive bell itself.
It seems to have been here for a very long time; its gleaming golden surface is covered with a thin layer of gray, and vines of unknown origin are Coating around its base and pillars.
That's an exaggeration!
Salt, tilting his head back, couldn't help but stare in astonishment. "How many are there?"
"Miss Bakkin, aren't you a scientist? Why don't you do the math?"
Buckingham also felt a bit thirsty at this point.
She had never seen such a sight, not even in her own little world.
That's absolutely amazing!
"It must be at least tens of thousands of tons, right?"
When Buckingham said those words, she felt her teeth soften.
The entire bell is tens of meters tall, and with its heavy base and several Pure Gold pillars, its weight is already exaggerated.
Tens of thousands of tons, that's definitely an underestimate.
"Tens of thousands of tons?"
Anthony licked his lips. "Are you sure you're not kidding? Has humanity ever mined this much gold in the entirety of its history?"
Naito thought for a moment.
In the previous life on Earth, the total amount of gold mined by all mankind was only about two hundred thousand tons.
It is precisely because of its scarcity that gold is recognized worldwide as a precious metal, unlike diamonds, which require artificially added concepts of rarity and preciousness.
But that was in the past life; things are different in this world.
What is the Golden Bell?
In the movie, Tesoro built an Ark Maxim; at that time, the amount of gold he possessed was truly astronomical.
"Etc,"
Buckingham snapped out of her shock at the gold and noticed something else.
A large stone is inlaid on the base of the gold.
"This is... the Poneglyph!"
Buckingham walked over quickly, looking utterly astonished. "There's a Poneglyph here!"
"The Poneglyph?"
Anthony and the others also became interested and quickly approached, their faces showing the same astonishment. "What's that?"
"An ignorant and incompetent fool!"
"The Poneglyph are stones that record the truth of the Void Century! It's said that to reach the Laugh Tale Laugh Tale, you must collect four special Poneglyph!" Buckingham retorted irritably.
"Huh! Is that even possible?"
Anthony was startled.
"But what does it say here? I can't understand it at all!"
Salt examined the stone carefully; the inscriptions on it were just gibberish to him.
"This is Ancient Script."
Buckingham examined the text closely. "Hmm? No way!"
Cold sweat began to bead on her forehead, and she abruptly turned to look at the calm-faced Naito. "Lord Night King! This contains the whereabouts of Poseidon, one of the Three Ancient Weapons!"
"Ancient Weapon!!"
Salt's expression changed drastically, "Poseidon!!"
"What is that?!"
"I've heard of that!"
Anthony exclaimed excitedly, "The three legendary weapons, said to possess the power to destroy the world, have long since vanished into the annals of history! There are actually clues to them here!"
Is that so?
Salt's eyes gradually lit up with surprise. "So, we have a chance to get that weapon?"
"Wait, Miss Bakkin,"
Anthony suddenly remembered something and looked at Buckingham, "Why do you know this script?"
Don't compare me to you guys.
Buckingham rolled his eyes in annoyance. "The reason Lord Night King captured Kozuki Sukiyaki was not only because he could forge divine weapons, but also because he understood Ancient Script."
"Of course I learned it from him."
"I see."
Anthony nodded repeatedly, then asked impatiently, "So, where are the Ancient Weapon?"
"On Fish-Man Island."
"That's what Buckingham said," she said, then frowned slightly. "Damn it, it only said it was on Fish-Man Island, but it didn't specify where on Fish-Man Island."
"Ah?"
Salt, really anxious. "Are you kidding me? Isn't the most crucial part covered?"
"I'm furious too, but that's just how it is."
Buckingham stomped his cane in annoyance, "Ugh—"
Suddenly, she paused again, noticing another column of text next to the Poneglyph.
That wasn't left by the person who originally inscribed the words.
"I will take the truth of history to the ends of the earth,"
Buckingham read the text aloud in astonishment, "Pirate, Gol D. Roger!"
"Eh? Roger? The Pirate King?"
Anthony and Salt swarmed over almost instantly, "Was this stone left behind by the Pirate King?"
Buckingham rolled her eyes again.
"Idiot, Roger added another sentence to this stone," she said.
Is that so?
Anthony stroked his chin. "So, the Roger Pirates were here too? And they didn't take the Golden Bell with them? Were the Roger Pirates that rich?"
Is that the main point?
Salt glanced at Anthony, "The key point is that the Roger Pirates actually knew the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapon!"
"Yes!"
Anthony snapped out of his daze and quickly turned to Naito with a nervous expression. "Lord Sea King, did the Roger Pirates already take Sea King from Fish-Man Island?"
"No."
Naito said calmly, "When Roger died, Aquaman wasn't even born yet."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"What do you mean, 'not born'?"
Anthony stared blankly at Naito.
Salt was equally incredulous. "Aquaman, could it be some kind of creature?"
"Lord Night King!"
Buckingham was the first to realize the real key point, and she was so excited that snot bubbles were coming out of her nose. "Could it be that you know Aquaman's secrets?"
Naito didn't answer, only casually twitching the corner of his mouth, "Zeus, move this Golden Bell away."
"Yes, Master!"
Behind them, the enormous white cloud began to deform.
Two enormous arms sprouted from the edge of the white cloud, grabbing the massive Golden Bell and carrying it onto their backs.
Zeus was possessed by a white Island Cloud, so by modifying the Island Cloud, Zeus could be given more power.
Although Zeus is already quite powerful as a celestial weapon, he can also transform into a fortress to charge into battle if necessary.
Although Buckingham and the others were extremely curious about Aquaman, they dared not ask since Naito wouldn't say.
But I can't help but sigh in my heart, it seems that Lord Night King always knows a lot of incredible secrets.
Taking away the Golden Bell wasn't enough; Zeus slowly descended to the middle of a giant bean vine, where a massive Island Cloud platform stood.
Inside this cloud lies the ruins of Shandora, which was pierced through by the bean vines and lifted directly from the ground—the City of Gold Noland spoke of.
Enel hasn't found this place yet, and he hasn't moved all the gold here to build the ark.
