87: Chapter 86: Reaching consensus, pre-war preparations & arriving with a smile!Wei Pa was silent after hearing this.He hesitated for a long time and asked:
"You are here to defeat God.If that's the case, will you take away our Golden City?"
Luffy chuckled and said, "I know what you are worried about, Weipa.Although the Golden Country is magnificent, it is not our destination.After all, the Golden Country is just a node in our adventure journey.
We may visit the Golden Country, but we will not destroy it.
Taking away your homeland is meaningless to us.We hope that you, the Shandia people, can live in peace and harmony with the people of Sky Island in the future.
Ending this 400-year-long chaotic civil war will also put an end to the meaningless internal friction of this Sky Island.Perhaps the entire Sky Island will become a new [Golden City] in the future."
Wei Pa was dumbfounded: "Is this.is it possible for this kind of thing to happen?"
Sanji lit a cigarette:
"Yes!You Shandia people and the Sky Island people have been at war for years, but you haven't been able to destroy each other.This is because your two tribes have conflicting interests and are evenly matched.
All it takes is one absolutely powerful force to intervene in this war, and all your years of conflict will become meaningless."
Luffy took out a book:
"Let's not talk about that for now.This is the logbook I got from Mont Blanc Couliquet."
"Mont Blanc?Mont Blanc from Mont Blanc Rolando?" Weipa widened his eyes.
"That's right!This is the navigation diary of the [Big Liar] Mont Blanc Rolando." Luffy was very sure.
Weipa took the wrinkled diary and stroked it:
"Big Liar?I never thought the people of Qinghai would call Rolando the Big Liar!But even if it's not accurate, it's not far off.After all, Rolando has broken his promise to his ancestors!"
Robin also laughed: "Broken appointment?That's not necessarily true!Only after coming here did I vaguely guess that the reason Rolando didn't come back to meet your ancestors again is because he couldn't make it at all!"
Weipa said angrily:
"What does this mean?Could it be that our ancestors made a mistake?"
Luffy patted Wepper's shoulder:
"What's the truth?Just open it and take a look, won't you know?"
Weipa opened the diary with doubt.Rolando's diary indeed recorded an immortal friendship that spanned time.This was also the most romantic interpretation of human pursuit of adventure.
It turns out that 400 years ago, Rolando's adventure team accidentally came to Gaya Island because of the attraction of the mysterious bell, and saved the Shandia tribe who were suffering from the plague.
Rolando formed a deep friendship with Calgara, the [Great Warrior] of the Shandia tribe, and became close friends.
But later, in order to eradicate the threat of the plague, Rolando and his companions accidentally cut down the [Sacred Tree] of the Shandia tribe, and thus were hated by the Shandia tribe.
The truth of this misunderstanding was not revealed until Rolando and Calgara were about to part.
Cargara ran to the seaside with a heart full of regret and guilt, and swore to Rolando who was gradually moving away that he would keep ringing the golden bell, and let the beautiful bell sound guide the two to meet again.
After returning home, Rolando told the story of the Golden Country.The greedy king was attracted by the gold and asked Rolando to lead the fleet to the Golden Country again.
But when Rolando and his companions finally arrived at Gaya Island after going through untold hardships, the Shandia tribe, along with part of the island, had completely disappeared!
Rolando was completely desperate and was eventually executed by the angry king.He was always branded as a big liar.
Weipa said, "Isn't this the same experience of Rolando and the ancestor meeting each other?The ancestor Kalgara died without waiting for Rolando to reunite with him.Wait!"
Luffy smiled and said, "Do you finally realize it now?"
Weipa couldn't believe it, tears streaming down his face: "We, Gaya Island, the Golden Bell, and others were all washed here.The Golden Bell has long been lost.Where can Rolando find it.
A massive wave swept a portion of Gaya Island 10,000 meters into the air!The two friends, left with regret, never met again!
The ancestors of Kalgara started the war so that they could meet again!"
Robin was also shocked by the huge amount of information:
"It seems that the Island of Gods is indeed the Land of Gold, washed up by a massive upwelling current 400 years ago!And the truth behind this fairytale-like friendship that spanned 400 years is surprisingly this!
So, what about the Golden Bell?Since it was washed away here, there's no way it's gone without a trace."
Luffy affirmed:
"The Golden Bell must be somewhere on the island.We will also ring the Golden Bell and fulfill our promise to Kulikite!"
Yes, this is the truth about a friendship that spans 400 years.
Gan Foer also had mixed feelings:
"So that's how it is?The source of the conflict, Arpaiado, the island bearing the legendary Golden Land, was originally the land of the Shandians!
The Sky Islanders' enthusiasm for land and their desire to compete with the Shandians for land became the fuse of this 400-year war!
Weipa burst into tears, "If our ancestors had never been broken their promise, then what have we been fighting for over the past 400 years?"
"Let's live together!Live above the sky with the Sky Islanders!400 years of hatred shouldn't exist!"
Gan Foul held out his hand to Weipa.
Luffy said solemnly:
"Now, take your time to discuss your next steps!Since the conflict between the Shandia clan and the Sky Islanders should never have existed, your handshake today will be a historic moment!
The next priority is to quickly deal with Enilu.The false god of Sky Island, return peace and prosperity to Sky Island!"
Weipa cheered up: "Yes!There is no need for the Shandians to fight anymore!I will explain it clearly when I return!Luffy, can you give me this diary?I want to bury it in the tomb of my ancestors!"
Luffy nodded, "Of course!The Montblanc family won't refuse once they know the truth!"
Gan Fowle bent down and said:
"Can I really leave Sky Island to you guys next?We must defeat Enel!If you need us to do anything, please just ask.We will do our best to help you!"
"Of course!" the Straw Hat Pirates said in unison.
"Our pre-war preparations are to prevent any possible unexpected situations from happening, and we must never let Enel have the opportunity to destroy Sky Island!" Usopp cheered everyone on.
At the same time, at Angel Beach, the Golden Merry, which had returned, slowly approached the shore under Merry's control, with only one person on board.
"Haha, this is the legendary Sky Island.What a beautiful view!"
Mr.Yixiao got off the boat, activated his observation Haki, felt everything around him, and walked slowly towards the city on the road formed by clouds.
Luffy was the first to sense Mr.Yixiao's arrival and walked out to welcome him in:
"What do you think?Mr.Yixiao, if this place can become the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, the Revolutionary Army will not have to hide anymore!" Luffy said happily.
"Excellent!There's no other place in the world where you can find such a beautiful scenery!But we still need to get the consent of the people of Sky Island!We can also find a way to transfer some people here first!"
Yixiao was as happy as a child at this moment.
Luffy's eyes were sharp:
"That won't be a problem!The trouble we're facing now is Sky Island's so-called [God] Enel.Judging from what he's done, he's very likely to choose to destroy Sky Island!He's the user of the [Nature-Type Thunder Fruit]!"
We will then go to war with him, and we will also trouble Mr.Yixiao to protect this empty island and the people who live here!"
Currently, the Straw Hat Pirates do not have large-scale offensive and defensive capabilities, so with a suitable and powerful force to help plunder the enemy, every blade of grass and tree on Sky Island can be protected.
"Wow, the Thunder Fruit?A powerful ability that hasn't appeared in 200 years.That's quite a feat!Does this [God] want to destroy Sky Island?Then we must stop him.
It's okay, Luffy and the others can fight without worry, and I will take care of the rest!"
A smile confirms the promise.
