The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Conversely, Luther's favorite people were the die-hard loyalists among his own people and the traitors among his enemies.

As for whether he will betray us in the future...

Times have changed. These days, people don't care about loyalty anymore.

You have to have either profit or power; otherwise, no amount of loyalty can change anything.

"Let me give you a general overview of this place. According to you, I'm from the Blue Ocean and know nothing about this place," Luther said casually.

“God! We are in the sacred land of Apayado on the Sky Island, a land that God bestowed upon us 400 years ago, and which has become God’s dwelling place for the past 400 years,” Nair said respectfully.

"Wow, is this land in the Blue Sea so popular? What about its native inhabitants?" Kizaru asked with interest.

“Your Excellency, this place was originally inhabited by a group of barbarians, who have long been driven out!” Nair said, bowing his head.

He had just witnessed Kizaru's attack, so he naturally answered all of Kizaru's questions.

"Oh, what a pitiful bunch."

Kizaru clicked his tongue in amazement, but didn't say anything more.

He has a clear understanding of his role: to simply be a tool.

Where is the Golden Bell?

Robin raised his hand curiously. In the story of the liar Rolando, the golden bell symbolized the noble friendship between Rolando and the natives of Gaya Island.

“The Golden Bell… I don’t know anything about these things. I’ve never seen one in the Holy Land. If you’re talking about a place full of gold, then it should be on the Bean Vine where the Lord of the Sky resides,” Nair replied.

"What is the Lord of the Sky?" Robin asked curiously.

"Uh...it's that monster that the priest kicked to death."

Nair glanced fearfully at the giant snake's corpse lying not far away.

To kill a giant snake with a single kick—that's true godhood.

Considering Kizaru's strength, he simply couldn't imagine how strong Luther was.

"Ah~ So that weak guy is the Lord of the Sky..." Robin's tone was clearly disappointed.

She had seen many monsters the size of the Lord of the Sky, and she thought this would be an even rarer monster.

“Take us to the abode of the Lord of the Sky,” Luther said.

If he remembered correctly, there was a rather important historical document nearby.

"Yes!"

Nair didn't consider refusing. He gestured to his companions to tie up Ganford, and then quickly led the way.

Luther and the others stood there for a moment, watching with amusement as Gan Fall was tied up by his former subordinates, and then dragged along by Kizaru, horse and all, to follow at the back of the group.

Chapter 56 Kizaru with Principles

"God! The area where the Lord of the Sky resides is just ahead."

Led by Nair, Luther and the others arrived at a cluster of abandoned buildings that shimmered with a golden hue.

The ground was littered with pebbles, and moss covered the gold nuggets, but it still couldn't hide the gleam they emitted.

"Wow, so much gold! I can hardly resist!"

Kizaru exclaimed in surprise, his eyes narrowing slightly as he surveyed the desolate Golden City before him.

“These are all useless metals. If Your Excellency needs them, I have plenty more at home,” Nair said sensibly.

"Oh, that won't do. I'm a person of principle."

Kizaru waved his hand, showing no desire for the gold scattered all over the ground.

He knew exactly what money he could and couldn't take.

I wasn't planning on having it before, but now that I've seen it, it's no exception.

"Shandora, the golden city, truly lives up to its name."

Luther couldn't help but sigh, but he wasn't too surprised.

Not long ago in the Holy Land, as one of the patriarchs of the Celestial Dragons, he participated in the annual distribution of the Celestial Gold.

The scene of hundreds of billions of pegories piled up together is no less impressive than the golden capital before us.

Gold is just that in this world; it's not a hard currency, but rather one of the rare metals, similar to various gemstones.

If we're really talking about value, it's not even worth as much as an equivalent amount of sea stone.

"Bad uncle! There!"

Robin, who was sitting on Luther's shoulders because they were in a hurry, had a blank look on his face and subconsciously tugged at Luther's hair.

"Ok?"

Luther followed Robin's gaze and saw a wall that stood out from the rest of the wall, with rows of square characters engraved on it.

With Luther's keen eyesight, he could even see the marks of manual cleaning on the walls.

Suddenly remembering something, Luther asked as he walked in that direction:

"Have other Blue Ocean people come here before?"

“Yes! It happened a few years ago. It was a bunch of unreasonable and arrogant guys who shouted that they were free pirates and then completely ignored our objections and broke into the Holy Land. I think they came here once before,” Niel quickly said.

"Hmph, Roger wasn't that bad. Compared to you bunch of devils, they didn't take a single thing, and they didn't even hurt a single person."

Ganford snorted coldly, clearly disagreeing with Nair.

"Hey, Roger, what a terrifying name," Kizaru joked.

"Your Excellency, have you heard of that person's name?" Nair asked with a mixture of curiosity and awe.

"Of course, he's very famous in the Blue Sea, he's known as the Pirate King."

As Kizaru spoke, Luther led Robin to the wall and showed her the Poneglyphs inscribed on it.

These words, marked by the passage of time, are a historical record of the past.

On the other side, upon hearing Kizaru's words, Gan Fall's mind stirred, and he spoke in a deep voice:

"Then you'd better let us go. Roger once said he owed us a favor, and if you don't want to..."

If he had no other choice, Ganford wouldn't have wanted to use Roger as a threat.

They weren't that close to Roger, but he could still sense the respect Kizaru showed when he spoke of Roger.

One Piece is also a king, which sounds impressive.

Faced with the current unequal disparity in strength, he has no choice but to take a gamble.

But before he could finish speaking, Kizaru interrupted him with a playful expression:

"Oh dear! I forgot to mention! Roger is dead. It was an execution order given by an elder in your New Gods' household!"

"you!!!"

Realizing he had been tricked, Gan Fall glared at Kizaru.

"Hmph, Ganful, this only proves that your era has passed. Now is the era of the new gods, without a doubt!"

Neil scoffed from the side. If he hadn't touched his chest with lingering fear, others would have really thought he was that tough.

Seeing the amusing scene before him, Kizaru's already wrinkled lips pursed into an "O" shape, making him look even more smug.

Just now, it seemed like he hadn't done anything, but unknowingly, he had distanced himself from Ludra, who was standing in front of the Poneglyph.

Even if Luther and his companion whispered some shocking news, only he could hear it...

"Really... It actually contains information about 'Aquaman'."

Upon hearing Luther's remark, Kizaru's expression froze.

Poseidon, one of the three ancient weapons.

Can we just say this directly...?

When he subconsciously looked up at Luther, he caught a glimpse of Nair, Ganford, and the other two unconscious.

Considering Luther's words, the only explanation could be the effect of Luther's Hegemonic Haki.

"Admiral Kizaru, the Poneglyphs here do indeed record information about 'Sea King,' and it's pretty much the same information the World Government knows. Would you like to know more?"

Luther looked at the other person with a half-smile. If Kizaru wanted to know, he would tell him the truth.

Knowing the secret makes it more likely that someone will become one of us.

Of course, he wasn't without concerns, but sensing the presence of people only about 200 meters away made him feel incredibly safe.

"Oh, I have no interest in knowing about such terrifying things as ancient weapons."

Kizaru refused without even thinking.

He had no desire to be a source of this kind of dangerous information.

"I respect Admiral Kizaru's wishes. Then Admiral Kizaru shall take over the work of Olvia and Gion."

Luther nodded slightly, showing great magnanimity.

Informing Kizaru of the general situation, and even asking if he wanted to know, demonstrates his trust in Kizaru.

Since Kizaru doesn't want to get involved, he won't force him.

After refusing so many times, it's not unreasonable for him to do some work properly.

Swish!

Less than two minutes later, Gion appeared here with Olvia.

While they were on their way, Luther had already informed Olvia and Gion.

First, he needed to ensure that the information in the historical text could be translated; second, he needed Gion to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Kizaru smiled slightly and said:

"Oh, that's really scary, Luther. Leave everything to me, and I'll show you my passion for work."

With that, Kizaru transformed into a golden light and flew towards the distant sky island, showing no intention of staying.
