Chapter 70 - The City of Gold

On the side of Jaya Island, Montblanc Cricket, Masira, and Shoujou were repairing their boats. Though the Knock-Up Stream was a magnificent sight, the sea was now a mess, and their boats had been affected. As the three of them worked, a melodious bell suddenly rang from the sky, both real and magical. Hearing it, the three of them were violently startled.

"Brother... the Straw Hats... they really did it!" Masira and Shoujou looked at each other and wept with joy.

"You... you really succeeded," Cricket looked up, and though tears flashed in his eyes, his face was filled with a deep, gratifying joy.

In the center of the island, Bellamy was covered with scars and lying miserably on the ground. But his eyes were firm as he looked at the man with blond hair and a pink feather coat who was far away. "Doflamingo, I will not let you down."

"Captain," Sarquiss and the others said, looking at him with worried expressions.

But at this moment, a melodious bell suddenly rang in the sky. "That is..." At this sound, Bellamy's pupils shrank, and she suddenly looked up at the sky.

"What?" Sarquiss and the others were stunned, staring at each other. That legend... was it actually true? Everyone on Jaya Island looked at the sky blankly. How could it be possible?

On the Sky Island, under the melodious sound of the golden bell, everyone stood still, listening to the sound with enjoyment and intoxication, forgetting everything. After a long time, Gan Fall came with a bird and fell in front of the Shandian people.

"It's you," seeing this person, Wyper and the others were furious. It was him, the former God of Sky Island, who had expelled them from their homeland, forcing them to live for four hundred years, hiding in the corner of Sky Island. Now that the enemy was before them, they couldn't wait to draw their swords.

But at this time, Gan Fall knelt down, tears running down his face. "I was wrong," he said, his voice choked with emotion. "All of this was my fault. If my head can calm your anger, I am willing to offer it with both hands."

"Do you think that with a single sentence of 'I was wrong,' you can end these four hundred years of grievances and stop the bloodshed of countless people in Shandora for four hundred years?" Wyper roared, and the praying mantis stabbed with a single shot. It had been four hundred years; how could they just let it go?

BOOM!

However, at this moment, one hand held the spear stabbed by the praying mantis. It was Luffy. Everyone looked around. But Luffy's expression was extremely serious. "He has already admitted his mistake. What else are you going to do? Isn't all this enough?"

The praying mantis was stunned, and Wyper was also stunned, and the entire Shandian clan was stunned. Yes, it had been four hundred years. Had their blood not been enough? Had less blood been shed by the people of Sky Island? They had just gone through the ordeal with Enel, and they had survived. Did they want to continue?

Roar!

At this time, Nola roared, and everyone couldn't help but look out. How could they forget the Lord of the Sky? However, they saw it roaring up to the sky, looking up at the huge warrior statue standing in the center of Shandora. Nola actually shed tears.

"That is..." Upon seeing this, the pupils of Wyper and the others shrank. This was their ancestor, Calgara, the greatest warrior four hundred years ago. Their ancestors, in order to wait for Montblanc Noland, had not forgotten their vow even if they were washed into the sky. Why had they wanted to fight the God of Sky Island? Wasn't it just for the vows they had once made? Now that the golden clock had been recovered, after such a battle, the war... why should it continue? Looking at the knelt on the ground, the painful and repentant Gan Fall, Wyper couldn't help feeling unhappy. Mantis and the others also sighed. Even if they killed Gan Fall, so what?

At this time, Conis, Pagaya, and the other residents of the Sky Island came over, and the surviving priests and soldiers looked at Wyper and the Shandian people. They all bowed together, expressing their deepest apologies. However, Wyper took a deep look at Luffy and the others, and finally swept his gaze over Moonlight, leading everyone, but left. Of course, the hatred would not end like this, but he didn't want to fight anymore.

"Old man, thank you so much," upon seeing this, Gan Fall couldn't help but smile, knowing that four hundred years of grievances were not to be let go, but reconciliation was already the best. Then he looked at Luffy and the others and expressed his most loyal thanks. Everyone in Sky Island thanked him, even McKinley, who smiled awkwardly, and then offered his most pious knee.

"I'm so hungry. Do you have any meat?" Facing these, Luffy touched his belly and asked.

Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and everyone else were speechless.

Gan Fall nodded solemnly. "Yes, as much as you want."

Although the hatred had not eased, it was already considered peaceful. This evening, everyone celebrated together, and everyone was presumptuous of themselves. Gan Fall and Wyper shook hands and made peace, and the Shandian people such as Mantis also felt the enthusiasm and kindness of the Sky Island people and laughed.

Luffy ate wildly, Zoro drank wildly, Sanji fell into a gentle township, Usopp told the story that he and his eight thousand men had to tell everyone, Chopper had a lot of fun, and Nami cheered. Even the Sea Kings were in a carnival. The entire Sky Island had an unprecedented tranquility. Everyone enjoyed it.

At this time, among the clouds, Moonlight looked at the vast moonlight, but his mind flew into the night sky. At this moment, Robin came over, raised his glass to invite, smiling at the moonlight. "Robin, what do you think is the real history that has been erased for a hundred years?" Moonlight reached out and took it, and under the moonlight, the two drank in one go. Then Moonlight raised his head, looking at the vast moonlight, and couldn't help muttering.

"I haven't thought about it, nor dared to think about it, but that's how it spurred me to keep moving forward. This is also my biggest motivation to support my survival over the years," Robin looked dazed, fearful, and expectant, but finally shook his head, but he couldn't guess.

"Have you ever thought about the origin of the Devil Fruit?" upon seeing this, Moonlight looked solemn.

"The origin of the Devil Fruit? According to legend, it was the incarnation of the demon of the sea, but it was cursed by the sea... you, don't you think..." as Robin said, her voice stopped abruptly, and she couldn't help looking at Moonlight in shock, as if she had guessed something. After all, she was clever, and she understood what Moonlight meant after his words.

"I'm just guessing," Moonlight shook his head and threw this terrifying thought into his mind. "What is the truth, don't we have to go on and see it in person?" Devil fruit, the devil of the sea, the curse of the return, the natural enemy of God, disappeared for a hundred years... what happened during this period and what did it have to do with it? Will it be what he thinks? If it is, then the last thing they will face, he was afraid it was something more terrifying than Laugh Tale.

"Although this is creepy and incredible, nothing is impossible on this face of the ocean, Moonlight, take me with you," at this time, Robin was oozing cold sweat on his face, apparently shocked by the bold conjecture of the moonlight, but looking at the moonlight, his expression was unprecedentedly firm.

"That's natural. Who would interpret it without you?" Moonlight looked straight at Robin.

"Then you have to protect me," Robin replied playfully.

In the sea of clouds, under the moonlight, the two smiled at each other.

For the next seven days, the people on the island gave a feast every day to thank Luffy and them. The food on the Sky Island was completely different from that on the ground. Going to the sky, it was natural to have a refreshing meal. It was another night of hangover. In the middle of the night, everyone was dreaming. Suddenly, under the moonlight, Nami suddenly stood up and quietly woke everyone up.

"Nami, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" Usopp rubbed his eyes.

"Yeah, Nami, let me sleep again," Luffy sat up, then lay down again.

"Yawn..." Zoro simply turned around.

"Miss Nami, so good night and night, what can I do for you? I can do everything," seeing that it was Nami, Sanji immediately jumped up and entered floating mode in a second.

"Nami, if you don't get enough sleep, you will be constipated," Chopper looked at Nami carefully and said seriously.

Nami was speechless.

"I feel a murderous look," Moonlight glanced at Nami and saw the violent veins on her head.

"It seems someone is going to be unlucky," Robin chuckled softly.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Sure enough, four violent shudders sounded in a row, and then Nami's loud shout shook the night sky. "What sleep? Have you forgotten our purpose? Who are you talking about constipation, Chopper? Get me up!"

Ten seconds later, Zoro, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper lined up in a row with swollen noses. They were fully awake, waving their hands and saying hello, "Hi, Nami, early!"

Moonlight and Robin were speechless.

Sanji was intoxicated. "Miss Nami looks so beautiful when she is angry."

However, when she saw Nami pointed to the golden city next to her, she hated that iron was not becoming a steel track. "You guys, who have been patronizing food these days, have you forgotten what we are here for? We are pirates! We are pirates! This is the legendary golden town, and there is gold everywhere."

"Luffy, don't you want to eat whatever you want in your dreams and add any meat?"

"Zoro, don't you want to drink casually in your dreams?"

"Usopp, don't you want to have 8,000 men in your dreams? And Sanji, don't you want more ingredients? Chopper, Moonlight, Robin, don't you have anything you want to do?"

"With this gold, there is nothing we can't do," after speaking, her own eyes immediately turned into Berry symbols.

"Eat whatever you want with rice and add any meat," Luffy drooled suddenly.

"Drink any wine?" Zoro's eyes lit up.

"Countless ingredients?" Sanji lit a cigarette and looked more serious than ever.

"Eight thousand men," Usopp's eyes were almost staring.

"What do you want to do?" the moonlight trio couldn't help but move.

"Yeah, money can make ghosts go around. With this gold, there is nothing else that can't be done. So, let's... let's vote hard," seeing everyone moving, Nami clapped her hands.

"This... you can have it," Zoro pressed the hilt of his sword.

"Yes, anyway, this is all without one," Sanji raised his eyebrows.

"We saved them and paid some gold, as it should be," Usopp said, right. The others looked at each other. Under the moonlight... "Hehehehehehe..."

"No, the Straw Hats are missing!" someone screamed early in the morning, their expression lost in shock. Because the Straw Hat group had suddenly disappeared. Was it another enemy? Suddenly everyone became nervous.

"Strange, where did they go?" Konis couldn't help but wonder. She had been in contact with Luffy the longest, so she knew their strength, and the chance of an enemy attack was not great. Gan Fall also nodded. The guy who could defeat Enel... what enemy could make them disappear silently?

"They should have gone there," Wyper sneered, pointing to the city center. "Don't forget, they are pirates. Guarding so much gold, will they leave empty-handed?" He had come from the Blue Sea after all, had dealt with pirates, and naturally knew what they thought.

"Gold? Then we'll give it to them."

"Yes, they are our benefactors, and we must thank them again."

"Since they like gold, we will give them more. Anyway, these things are useless on the Sky Island," hearing this, everyone was relieved. They thought they had been met by the enemy again. Isn't it just gold? If they wanted to take it away, they were not rare. Not to mention that they were lifesavers.

Hearing this, Wyper also nodded without comment. On this Sky Island, gold was of little use. Gan Fall also nodded, his eyes flowed, and pointed to a huge golden pillar that had fallen on the ground. "Then let's give this to them." Upon seeing this, no one had any comments.

"Well, we are waiting for them outside the city. They will definitely come out from inside," Wyper nodded. Then everyone lifted the golden pillar and waited for Luffy and the others at the gate of the city. However, they waited for a long time without seeing a single figure.

"What's the matter? Hasn't it come out yet?"

"Strange, according to time, they should be coming out almost now."

"It's strange indeed," the group could not help being at a loss.

But Wyper flashed in his mind and slapped his thigh. "No, they are pirates. How can pirates think like us?" Talking, he hurriedly shouted, "Quickly, take the golden pillar! We go to their ship! They must be afraid that we will not agree, so they must have detoured behind and avoided us specially. We go to their ship and we will definitely be able to wait for them!"

"What? Avoid us?"

"No, I haven't had time to drink goodbye to Zoro."

"Sanji, don't you want others?"

"Usopp, the story you and your eight thousand men have to tell is not finished yet."

"Luffy, I haven't played enough with you yet," hearing this, everyone was shocked. In the past few days, they had established a deep friendship with each other, and everyone had fallen in love with the Straw Hat group. At the moment, they chased in the direction of the Merry.

On the Merry, a group of eight people, everyone returned full of joy. Nami had even packed four sacks, and she had carried them to the Merry all by herself because of her supernatural power. Seeing the full warehouse of gold, everyone cheered.

At this moment, Gan Fall and the others chased them, and shouted at them from a distance. "No, they are here!"

"Hurry up!"

"Run!" Upon seeing this, everyone was shocked, as if a thief who had done a bad thing had been discovered and hurried away. Suddenly, the Merry started fast.

"Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Nami, Moonlight, Chopper, Robin..." the Merry went further and further, but on the shore, everyone still shouted and waved their arms as if to say goodbye.

"Conis, uncle, and sour plum face, everyone, we are leaving! Thank you for your hospitality!" on the bow, in the special seat, Luffy waved and said goodbye.

"To be honest, this adventure is not bad," Nami and the others also waved. Although it was regrettable to leave without saying goodbye in the end, they were pirates, so how could they be perfect.

WHOOSH!

At this time, the Merry rushed down the sea of clouds and fell from the Sky Island.

"Well, we are at an altitude of 10,000 meters above the ground," upon seeing this, Nami changed her color in amazement.
