Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 65 The Great City of Miracles, the Land of Gold - Shandora!

Although Apayado still had many members of the God Guard, after Enel's fall, including the four priests, they were essentially meaningless.

Zoro led the charge, and Waver, despite being injured, was not to be outdone. A large group of bounty hunters and Shandian warriors stormed into Enel's temple and ended the battle in no time.

Bane had absolutely no interest in these people.

He was standing on the back hill of the Enel Temple, looking at a very peculiar ship.

"Thinking about it carefully, Enel is actually quite something," Bane remarked with a hint of emotion.

Ark's Proverbs.

Enel built himself an airship. The ship looks a bit comical, but it is actually quite powerful. In the original story, Enel managed to get to the moon using this ship.

"He does have some skill," Nami said, looking at the ship with admiration.

"What do you think, should we get a different ship? This ship can sail and fly. It's a bit ugly, but its advantages are obvious," Bane asked Nami beside him.

"But didn't Enel's shipwrights just say that this ship needs a huge amount of electrical energy to fly? The reason Enel built this ship is because he is a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Normally, no one else could provide such a huge amount of power to drive this ship," Nami said hesitantly.

Zoro is already planning to become a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but he hasn't eaten the fruit yet.

But Zoro is different from Enel. Zoro may seem like nothing's wrong, but in reality, his daily schedule is very tight. He spends most of his time meditating and training, and then he also has to do physical training, swordsmanship and other honing skills. If he becomes a Devil Fruit user, he will definitely have to spend a lot of time developing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

In this situation, making Zoro a "power bank" for the ship is really dragging him down.

After discussing it for a while, the two decided to abandon the ship.

Bane mainly thought the ship's design was too ugly, while Nami did so because she had already obtained the complete blueprints for the Ark: Proverb from the shipbuilders.

"Take these blueprints with us. Later, we'll find a skilled shipwright or scientist to try and modify the charging device to make it work properly," Bane said.

Speaking of which, Franky from Water Seven would be a good fit, given his outrageous cola-powered technology.

Moreover, Franky is definitely a tech expert. This guy transformed himself into a robot without any systematic training, which is just outrageous!

This demonstrates that he possesses exceptional talent and ability in science and technology, especially in the field of bioengineering.

If he could be properly nurtured, he would definitely shine brightly.

Moreover, this guy has a deep-seated hatred for the world's ruling government, so his position is naturally suitable. The new navy also needs to build its own scientific force!

It's just that this guy's father is said to be Quinn, but I don't know if it's true or not. But thinking about it carefully, even if it is true, it shouldn't matter.

Just as Bane and Nami were discussing these matters, Waver arrived, his body wrapped in bandages.

Judging from the bloodstains seeping through his bandages, this guy must have put in a lot of effort when wiping out Enel's remaining followers.

"Is it all sorted out over there?" Bane asked.

"Okay, let's go. I'll take you to see Shandora, the glorious land of our ancestors!" Weber said casually, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

He had tried countless times to reclaim this place and fulfill his ancestors' last wish.

But deep down he was quite aware that with Enel around, his dream was unlikely to be realized; he just never chose to give up.

But unexpectedly, after inexplicably encountering a group of people from Qinghai, this previously unattainable dream suddenly came true.

Enel, the Skypiea god, was easily killed, and Apayado returned to the hands of the Shandians!

Although it would cost the Golden City, Weber didn't think it was an unreasonable request. The Shandians didn't care about the gold; what they cared about was their ancestral land and whether they could fulfill their ancestors' wishes.

Led by Weber, Bane and his group passed through the dense forest behind the temple and arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Sunlight streamed down, refracting into scattered, dazzling golden rays within the cliff face. It was a ruin covered in dust and rocks.

For over four hundred years, the Land of Gold has been here, undisturbed by anyone. Even Enel, though aware of its existence, did not cause any trouble; he merely exploited a portion of the gold.

This is why the land of gold is covered by dust, obscuring its brilliance, with only some exposed gold reflecting its light.

"Is this really a city made entirely of gold?" Nami swallowed hard, asking with a hint of doubt.

Weber proudly stated, "That's right. According to the traditions passed down through generations of Shandians, this golden city was built by our ancestors over several generations, and the entire city is constructed entirely of gold."

After listening to Weber's description, Bane looked at Yi and said with a smile, "Brother, please help me out and let this ancient city reveal its original appearance."

"This is truly a great miracle, and I am deeply honored to unveil it," Yi Xiao nodded and said softly.

He didn't make any big movements; he simply tapped the Gambler's Fireline, the cane-sword in his hand, lightly on his foot. Then, a mysterious purple energy aura rapidly spread out from that point, gradually enveloping the entire Golden City in the valley high up on the cliff.

Then, the ancient city trembled slightly, and the soil and dust that had covered the city for hundreds of years, under the weight of a smile, quickly separated from the gold and rose into the sky.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Just as its veil has been lifted, the land of gold, Shandora, has revealed its true face to everyone.

There had never been a moment when the sunlight felt so blinding!

The dazzling gold reflected a brilliant light, as if it were about to blind everyone.

Nami was completely stunned at this moment. Her eyes were shining, her breathing became rapid, her pretty face turned red, and her mouth was wide open, but she couldn't say a word.

Not only her, but Bane was in a similar state. He was more prepared than the others, but at this moment, looking at the golden city of this scale, he was still somewhat lost in thought.

Perhaps anyone who witnesses such a miracle would be captivated by it.

The entire land of gold is built around a pyramid-shaped structure. At the very top of the pyramid is the lampstand of Shandora, and directly in front of that pyramid stands a magnificent golden bell!

The great warrior of Shandia, Waver, shed tears of emotion when he saw the glorious city of his ancestors.

At the same time, Bane came to his senses and patted Webber on the shoulder, saying, "Go on, it's time to complete your mission as Shandians."

Weber seemed to snap out of his reverie at this moment. He glanced gratefully at Bane, then walked to the edge of the cliff, raised his arm, and shouted, "For the glory of our ancestors!!!"

Behind him, the Shandian warriors raised their arms and shouted, "For the glory of our ancestors!"

"Light that lamp, ring that bell!!!"
