Chapter 472: Misfortune Descends from the Sky

Robin turned around and saw that the position indicated by the Shandorian indeed had a small piece of text. Curiosity piqued, she walked over to take a look and exclaimed in astonishment, I have come to this place and shall carry this message to the ends of the world! Pirate Gol D. Roger!?

Pirate King Roger!? Not only Robin, but even Luffy, Nami, and the others were greatly surprised upon hearing this name.

Ian, on the other hand, wasnt particularly surprised. In his memory, the Grand Line route they were currently following was the same path once traveled by the Pirate King, Roger. The person who gave them the Log Pose was Kureha, the former ship doctor of the Pirate King, from Twin Cape By that calculation, Roger had also been to Jaya, so it wasnt impossible for him to learn about the legendary Sky Island and embark on an exploration.

Upon hearing Rogers name from Robin, Gan Fall finally had something to say, Roger? He came to this Sky Island over 20 years ago

Ian immediately understood. This must be the segment of Rogers final voyage when he arrived on this island. Moreover, at this point, he had likely discovered the Poneglyph, which was why he left this sentence behind.

After observing for a while, Robin vaguely grasped the intention behind Roger leaving this information. She nodded to Gan Fall and Wyper, saying, I have memorized it.

Wyper, who was currently being bandaged by Chopper, lowered his head upon hearing this and said with a hint of desolation, So, we dont have to fight anymore, right?

For a moment, all the Shandians fell into silence.

Ian didnt know how to console them, so he shifted the topic, Alright, let me help you bring down this Golden Bell. The rightful place for this Golden Bell is the Golden City, Shandora!

With Ians words, the Shandians snapped out of their thoughts. In fact, due to the battle ending too quickly, they hadnt yet found the location of the Golden City.

Ian, however, knew that the Golden City was actually buried within the middle layer of clouds entangled in the vines. When Jaya Island was propelled into the sky by the Knock-Up Stream, it pierced through the clouds, causing the Golden City to settle in the middle layer. Only the Golden Bell was stuck at the top, caught by the vines.

Unaware of these details, the Shandians, including Wyper and the other soldiers, had been exploring this forbidden land in search of their homelands location. They had engaged in numerous battles with the Skypieans until Enels arrival on the Sky Island. Under Enels Mantra perception, all the Shandians who entered the forbidden land were eliminated by him

Since Ian had led Wyper and the others to find the Golden Bell, he naturally wouldnt hesitate to help them find the Golden City. Moreover, the gold that Ian sought could only be obtained in the city of Shandora.

In theory, the Golden Bell was the heaviest and largest piece of gold. However, Ian was aware that taking the Golden Bell without their knowledge was entirely impossible. It was the most sacred possession guarded by the Shandians, their lifeblood. If they discovered Ians intention to take the Golden Bell, they would fight him to the death.

Ian had no intention of robbing them of their pride. Therefore, he returned the Golden Bell to the Shandians. However, when it came to the treasures within the Golden City of Shandora, Ian had no qualms. Those treasures were of little importance to the Shandians, and considering the immense help Ian had provided them, he believed they wouldnt refuse his request.

Ian intended to take them openly and honestly

As he spoke, Ian glanced at Nami, winking and mimicking the gesture of counting money with his index finger and thumb.

Nami immediately understood his meaning, and her eyes lit up.

She knew that Ian was planning to lead them to the golden treasures!

But with such a colossal bell Altar, how could they move it?

The Shandian warriors discussed among themselves, considering going back to seek assistance. However, at that moment, Ian snapped his fingers and said, Doroniii, its your turn!

Leave it to me, Captain! Doroni grinned, then walked to the side of the Golden Bell. With a loud roar, he forcefully inserted his furry hands into the base of the bell Altar, burying both palms inside.

Doroni had deliberately chosen a specific spot, not the location of the historical inscriptions. Otherwise, he wouldnt have been able to insert his hands.

Once he felt secure in place, he suddenly exerted his strength. The muscles of his arms swelled like an explosion, and with a mighty heave, he lifted the entire Golden Bell before the astonished onlookers!

Luffy and his crew were wide-eyed with astonishment, as were the Skypieans. They couldnt believe that Ians enigmatic companion, this peculiar bear-like creature, possessed such incredible natural strength!

This colossal bell tower, including its base and the golden bell on top, weighed dozens of tons at least. Yet, a single person effortlessly lifted it.

Quick! Ian, seeing Doroni lifting the bell, immediately directed him to carry it to the edge of the cloud. Ian then looked down, identified the location of the cloud layer in the middle of the vine, and instructed Doroni to throw the entire bell tower down.

Doronis burst of power had a reason behind it, and it stemmed from the Gluttony Devil Fruit he had consumed.

After a long period of observation, Ian had confirmed one thing: Doronis Gluttony Devil Fruit could convert all the food he consumed into stored power, which he could release at will when needed.

You would always see Doroni eating all the time, constantly accumulating power. Now, when he unleashed his power all at once, it even surpassed the strength of Kuinas Asura Devil Fruit, which granted the strength of a hundred men. Thats why lifting this enormous bell tower was a piece of cake for him.

However, the Gluttony Devil Fruit had its drawbacks. Doronis burst of power didnt last long. Ian had tested him by having him try to lift a large ship from the sea surface, and he could only sustain it for a little over a minute. Considering the weight of the bell was probably similar to that of a ship, Ian estimated that Doroni wouldnt be able to hold on for long. It was impossible for him to carry the bell down along the vine. So Ian decided to have him throw it down instead.

The Golden Bell was made of pure gold, and the Poneglyph beneath it was also difficult to destroy. Ian speculated that even from such a height, it probably wouldnt be damaged severely. At most, some stone bases might be destroyed, but that could be easily repaired.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Doroni performed this mighty feat of lifting the bell, and then he threw down

Ian didnt know what the Shandians thought when they witnessed this scene, but overall, it saved a lot of effort

Lets go, lets find the Golden Bell! Ian called out to everyone and then said to Wyper, But you might have to find someone to tow it back and put it in place.

Wyper looked at Ian in silence for a while. Although Ians method was straightforward and rough, Wyper understood that the Shandians owed Ian a great debt.

Thank you, Blue Sea person! Wyper said, Can you tell me your name?

I am Ian! Ian smiled and, along with everyone else, descended along the vines

Before Doroni dropped the bell tower, hidden within the clouds in the middle of Shandora, the golden city, there was a gigantic serpent, originally dancing and twisting its body to the sound of the bell.

This serpent, known by the Shandians as the Lord of Skies, was propelled into the sky four hundred years ago by the Knock-Up Stream. Now, after four hundred years, this serpent had lived for an exceptionally long time, growing to an immense size.

However, in those four hundred years, it still vividly remembered the resplendent sound of the golden bell being struck.

When Wyper struck the golden bell from above with his fist, the dormant Lord of Skies in Golden City suddenly awoke. It raised its head high, looking towards the direction from which the sound came, and joyfully wriggled its body.

But what it didnt expect was that after the bell rang for a while, it stopped.

The Lord of Skies was somewhat puzzled. Just as it was swimming and planning to ascend along the vines to see what was happening, suddenly, a massive shadow pierced through the clouds and descended towards its location.

Before it could react, the serpents head was immediately struck!

Clang! A tremendous sound echoedit was indeed the bell tower dropped by Doroni!

With such enormous weight falling from such a high place, it goes without saying that the impact was tremendous. The massive body of the Lord of Skies couldnt withstand such force and was immediately knocked unconscious.

Thus, when Ian and the others descended from above the vines and discovered the Golden Village hidden within the clouds, the first thing they saw was the unconscious Lord of the Skies, who had been knocked out by the impact.

What the heck? Ian scratched his head in confusion and glanced at the fallen golden bell beside him, thinking, Perfect, that makes things easier.

Ian remembered that inside the snakes belly, there were quite a few treasures made of gold. He had already set his sights on them when coming down, planning to let Matthew faint him and retrieve them once they found the snake.

Now, there was no need for Matthew to step in. The snake was knocked out with the bell.

It seems even the heavens want you to contribute the treasures in your belly Ian thought like this.
