Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"It seems so."

"Three times! If they dare to attack us three times, we won't let them off easily!"

Nami said fiercely.

She is essentially a kind person, although the Rumble-Rumble Fruit sounds like a perfect fit for her.

However, this alone would not lead them to allow Rocks to kill and steal Devil Fruits.

If the other party is truly beyond redemption...

Then there's no way!

'Crack!'

The lightning bolt reformed and crashed down, aimed directly at the Black Demon, only to be shattered by a single punch from Rocks...

'Crack!'

Another bolt of lightning struck, but it was also blocked by Rocks...

The attack ceased after the three lightning bolts struck.

Locke smirked: "This is the third time. It seems like they can hear our conversation."

If I remember correctly.

Enel combined his abilities with Observation Haki, allowing him to hear the conversations of everyone on Skypiea...

Similar applications to electromagnetic waves?

Hearing this, Nami became even angrier. She felt that Enel was provoking them: "Damn it, is that Enel really that domineering?"

Lox still had a smile on his lips: "After all, the other party calls himself a god, so it's normal for him to be a bit domineering."

Robin looked up at the sky and shook his head: "All three attacks were aimed at taking our lives. What a ruthless person..."

"They don't intend to continue attacking. It seems they did hear what Nami said earlier and responded to it..."

Rocks couldn't help but click his tongue.

Enel is quite something; his three lightning bolts were a response to Nami's earlier words.

That certainly fits the other party's "god" status...

Lockes said, "Let's go, let's go into this island first and see what they're up to. Let's have some fun with them."

“I won’t pretend our provocations didn’t happen…”

The Black Demon was docked at the shore, and Rocks and the others disembarked.

Together with several Shandian warriors, we ascended to Apayado and ventured further in...

……

at the same time.

A shrine located somewhere in Apayato.

This is Enel's residence.

"A Qinghai native? He withstood my divine punishment three times. He seems to be much more formidable than the other Qinghai people..."

In the shrine, Enel sat languidly, munching on a Sky Island apple. His expression was calm and composed, yet it revealed the superiority of a "god".

His Observation Haki, combined with his abilities, allowed him to perceive the situation there clearly.

Enel took a bite of his apple, grinned, and said, "If you want to challenge my authority as a 'god,' then let me see what kind of fun you can bring me..."

He didn't take Lox and his group seriously.

After all, he is a "god".

God is not afraid.

God also possesses absolute power.

The people who should be afraid are others.

It's rare to see some seemingly extraordinary people from Qinghai enter this "sacred place" and even speak rudely to him.

Then let's have some fun together...

Enel summoned four priests, still lounging in his chair: "A few Qinghai invaders have arrived in the Sanctuary. I'm lifting the restrictions on you. Go and 'test' them..."

"Oh, right, don't kill them. Remember to bring them here. They seem to want to talk to me. I'm somewhat interested..."

Want to have a chat with this amazing guy?

of course can.

However, this only applies if the person is a prisoner.

God does not easily appear before people.

Unless it's a criminal for whom he needs to execute...

……

Led by the Shandians, Lox and his party soon arrived at the ruins of Shandora.

Perhaps the Shandian warriors, who only remembered the location but had never been there, rediscovered some "memories" in their bloodline as they looked at the homeland of their ancestors.

They stared blankly at this land, these ruins...

Tears welled up in some of their eyes.

It was a rather touching scene.

However, Rocks was unmoved and simply let them stand there in a daze...

"Isn't the historical record here?"

Robin is exploring the ruins of Shandora, but has not found the whereabouts of the Poneglyphs.

She looked at the ancient inscriptions on the ruins walls: "Keep the truth in your heart, keep your mouth shut... With the sound of the great bell tower... the great bell tower at the center of the four altars..."

"You must be referring to the Golden Bell mentioned in Mr. Coolidge's diary, right?"

"But...it's not here..."

The diary of Montblanc Noland in Kulikatet and the ancient texts found at the ruins here both mention the "Great Bell Tower" and the "Golden Bell"...

This is Chandora, the golden city that Montblanc Nolando discovered.

She also learned from the chief of Kumogakure that the Poneglyphs were embedded in the base of the Golden Bell tower...

However, the Golden Bell is not here!

Rocks approached Robin and smiled at her, saying, "I've found the location of the Golden Bell."

"Ok?"

Robin was surprised; she had no clue at all. Curious, she asked, "You already know? Don't tell me you found this with your Observation Haki?"

"I guess so, but of course, there's also my speculation."

Lox pointed to the enormous vines that shot into the sky: "That vine runs through the center of this ruin. According to the Shandian chief, the Golden Bell was originally located at the center of this altar."

"So it's possible that the Golden Bell was pushed up onto the vines. Based on this deduction, I spread my Observation Haki in that direction and found the location of the Golden Bell."

"I see……"

Robin nodded and glanced at Rocks: "As expected of the captain, he even considered something like this."

Let's just say that's how it is.

Robin didn't want to dwell on it too much.

Robin looked at the vines over there: "So, as long as we climb the vines, we can find the Poneglyphs?"

"Correct."

Lockes nodded, looking in one direction: "But let's deal with the attacking enemy first, there's no rush."

“Since others have sent people to ‘entertain’ us, it would be impolite of us not to ‘welcome’ them properly.”

According to my Observation Haki, someone is coming this way.

It was Enel's priests and divine soldiers!

Robin chuckled, "You're not going to ask me to join the war, are you? I'm just a historian..."

"Who says historians can't participate in battles?"

Rocks chuckled and teased, "If you don't work hard, you really won't be a match for Nami once she becomes a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user."

"This is really... annoying..."

Robin rubbed his temples.

I feel a bit mentally exhausted.

This cannot be ignored; she doesn't want to be surpassed by Nami.

She's an adult, after all; being surpassed would be very embarrassing for her...

……

Three of Enel's four priests wore mocking smiles, while the other rolled his eyes and bit his upper lip...

Several people stood on tree branches, looking down at the crowd below.

"Is it you? The ones whom Lord Enel has deemed sinners!"

One of the fat men stared at the group that Enel had identified as sinners.

Daigo, one of the priests, grinned coldly: "You've got some nerve, daring to invade the 'Sanctuary'..."

Another priest, Shura, was even more arrogant: "You dare to invade this place with just a dozen or so people? It seems you're prepared to die here!"

Priest Ohm, carrying a greatsword made of "Iron Cloud," suggested, "There don't seem to be enough people to go around. What should we do? How about we have a competition to see who defeats the most people!"

Rolling his eyes and biting his upper lip, the priest Nirvana muttered to himself without uttering a sound: "..."

Behind them... or rather, beside the trees where they stood, were dozens of divine soldiers guarding them.

They also turned their gazes to the members of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group and several Shandian warriors, their faces bearing the expressions of hunters spotting their prey...
