The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 180 Apayado, Shandora's Lamp

Angel Island, Cloud River Port.

A large number of colorful small boats equipped with wind turbines are moored here.

"These boats are so beautiful!" Lina said softly, her eyes sparkling. Women are more sentimental and are always full of anticipation for beautiful things.

"Mr. Charlotte, which one should we choose?" Mitis looked at the row of small boats and was really unable to decide.

Charlotte slowly walked to the end. That's it!

A small, entirely black boat with a large parasol standing in the center; its design looks rather ugly.

"Crow!!!" Lina said with a look of refusal, pointing to the large phoenix-tailed ship next to her, her meaning self-evident.

Charlotte sighed helplessly; Lina had always been serious about beautiful things.

"Alright, Lina, this boat is just right. It's just the three of us; a bigger one would block our view."

"Oh!" Lina reluctantly withdrew her gaze after hearing Charlotte's explanation.

The three walked towards the small raven boat and started moving, heading towards Gate 2 of the harbor.

As soon as you pass through, you are greeted by an endless expanse of white clouds, with a wide river of clouds running straight through it and stretching into the distance.

The raven boat continued to move forward, while the cloud river below surged and churned like white clouds. Mytis sat in front, happily steering the boat.

A moment later, the three of them went down a tributary and arrived at the wider Yunhe River.

"Charlotte, look! What's that unusually large forest? Is that Apayado?"

"Yes, Apayado is another part of Gaya Island, which was swept into the sky by the surging ocean currents."

Appayado!

Charlotte gazed at the distant forest and said softly.

"Gaya Island!" Lina looked at Charlotte in surprise; she knew absolutely nothing about this.

Mitis also became extremely interested.

Seeing this, Charlotte had no choice but to explain Apayado's origins...

"So, does that mean Shandora, the 'Golden City' that Montblanc Nolando spoke of before his death, really exists?!"

Lina's voice suddenly became much louder.

"The Golden Bell!" Mytis's heart surged with excitement, and he longed to see that legendary ancient artifact.

Shandora's Lamp!

Charlotte looked at the two of them helplessly. Indeed, if he didn't know the whole story, such a thing would have shocked him.

Soon the small boat approached the forest of Apayado.

"Muddy ground!"

Metis remarked that through this experience, he realized the astonishing value of the soil on the floating island.

After all, there is no soil on the Sky Island except here, which makes it all the more precious.

It's easy to imagine that the Sky Island people's dedication to the soil is beyond imagination!

An ancient forest, with incredibly huge trees reaching into the sky, and enormous creatures everywhere, is truly awe-inspiring. A river of clouds, like a ribbon, runs through the entire forest.

"Charlotte, is this really part of Gaya Island? It looks completely different from the Gaya Island in the ocean!"

Lina looked surprised; she had just heard Charlotte's explanation of Apayado's origins.

The flora and fauna here are clearly abnormal, incredibly large. The exposed tree roots are taller than a person, like towering walls.

Based on normal growth, it would probably take at least a thousand years, while Apayado was only washed a few hundred years ago to the Sky Island.

"This should be related to the composition of the island clouds and sea clouds that form, and there seems to be a force that causes plants and animals to grow abnormally."

Charlotte guessed that this was not an isolated case.

Metis looked thoughtful, deeply incredulous.

The three of them traveled slowly on the Cloud River in the Sky Island's unique crow shell boat, traversing through a vast, mutated forest.

Suddenly, a flat, slender, snake-like, deep blue creature leaped out of the cloud river, opening its blood-red maw and lunging at the small boat.

The book in Mitis's hand suddenly flew out and hovered in mid-air, automatically turning its pages with a soft rustling sound, emitting a faint glow.

The strange creature crashed into it, as if crossing into another world, disappearing directly into it.

"Mitis is getting more and more amazing!" Lina said to Mitis in surprise. Her use of the Devil Fruit just now was truly amazing.

Mitis blushed slightly and scratched his head. "Miss Lina, I feel embarrassed by your praise."

Lina smiled gently; Mitis looked rather adorable at that moment.

Once Mitis returned to normal, she looked extremely embarrassed; she had been so rude just now!

Mitis turned his head and quickly looked at Charlotte.

"Mr. Charlotte, what was that creature just now?!"

Charlotte paused for a moment, he couldn't quite remember either, but he seemed to have some recollection of it.

"The creature unique to Sky Island should be the Sky Shark."

"Oh!" Mitis exclaimed, feigning understanding.

Before long, the group arrived at the central location of Apayado, where a large area of ​​ancient ruins lay.

A gigantic vine stretched through the thick clouds above, its end nowhere in sight.

Charlotte knew very well that the Golden Bell and Shandora were both above the clouds, and the Golden Bell was located above the clouds at the highest point of the vines, but it was covered by clouds everywhere.

Just then, a huge, bluish-green snake appeared, flicking its tongue and looking quite frightening.

"This is way too big!" Mitis stared in disbelief.

"Nora!"

Charlotte glanced at it but didn't pay much attention. It was just an unusually large and clumsy snake; nothing strange about it.

Just as the giant snake Nora twisted its body, preparing to pounce, Charlotte gave it a domineering look that scared it away.

Let's go!

The three moved quickly and climbed upwards along the giant vines.

Piercing through the incredibly thick clouds, with nothing in sight, Charlotte frowned slightly.

The Heavenly Cry sword was drawn, and its massive strike tore through the clouds, revealing the ancient ruins below.

"Charlotte, there?"

Lina exclaimed in surprise, and the dazzling golden light shone brightly, leaving everyone in awe.

Within a massive, deep crater lies the ruins of an ancient city, sealed away for hundreds of years—the lost golden metropolis of Shandora!

A moment later, the three entered through the safety passage they had found.

It was glittering with gold, almost blinding!

It truly deserves the title of a golden city!

The towering buildings were incredibly magnificent, and various gold artifacts were everywhere.

"We've struck it rich!"

Lina exclaimed in surprise, her eyes practically turning into money.

Mitis was also stunned and stood there dumbfounded; the amount of gold was astonishing.

"Mitis has contacted everyone to begin the operation," Charlotte said, equally excited, immediately reminding them.

Mitis regained his composure and immediately responded.

"Yes, Mr. Charlotte!"

He quickly took out a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) to contact the Heberfeller family members who had been waiting for him.

As members of the Heberfeller family appeared, gasps of astonishment filled the air; it was a truly shocking experience.

That must be an enormous fortune, unimaginable.

A moment later, everyone began to collect the gold from the entire city in an orderly manner, while Lina stayed behind to oversee the overall situation.

Charlotte led Mitis along the vines to a higher level in search of the Golden Bell.
