Pirates: Going out to sea? Cultivate to the Mahayana stage first

With a clear goal, the road ahead becomes much smoother.

Before long, a huge bean vine that towered into the sky appeared before everyone's eyes. It was like a towering tower, majestic and spectacular, and breathtaking.

And this bean vine is the key landmark leading to the golden country.

Looking in the direction indicated by the bean vines, finally, the legendary golden city appeared before everyone.

In an instant, everyone stood there in shock as if struck by lightning, unable to believe what they saw.

The originally imagined Golden City might just be a rich place with gold everywhere, but the scene before them far exceeded their expectations.

Looking around, the whole town is shining with golden light, dazzling.

Each building is made of pure gold and emits a dazzling light.

All kinds of rare treasures are placed on both sides of the street, the brilliance of the jewels and precious stones complement each other, making people dazzled.

Nami stared at the golden world in the distance with her eyes wide open, muttering to herself, "Compared to the treasures in the Lord of the Sky's lair, they are nothing compared to this!"

She couldn't help but start to suspect that most of the so-called treasures in the Lord of the Sky's lair were most likely plundered from this golden city.

Faced with such a shocking scene, even An Nuo, who was always calm and composed, could hardly suppress his excitement.

He stared at the golden land in front of him, and kept saying, "Great harvest... This is a great harvest!"

At this moment, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and all his previous worries and anxieties disappeared.

What appeared before our eyes was a magnificent city made of pure gold!

Although the passage of time has made the city look a little vicissitudes, and the golden buildings are covered with moss, it is still difficult to conceal its radiant essence.

Moreover, although the interiors of some buildings are not entirely made of gold, this does not in any way diminish the overall dazzlingness of the Golden Country.

Looking back to the past, if it weren’t for the hateful Eneel who destroyed Shandora to this extent, the scene here would probably be even more shocking!

After witnessing this scene, everyone on the Orange Cabin fell into silence.

They all opened their mouths wide and stared blankly ahead, as if they were so mesmerized by the wonder before them that they didn't know how to express their feelings for a moment.

Among this group of people, Gion was the most surprised.

She stared at the mountain of gold in disbelief with her eyes wide open, thinking to herself: "So much gold! If all of it were exchanged for Baileys, what a huge fortune it would be! I'm afraid that even the expenses of the entire Navy Headquarters for several years or even decades combined may not be comparable to this!"

You know, the amount of money needed every year to maintain the normal operation of an organization as large and complex as the Navy Headquarters is simply an astronomical figure.

However, the wealth contained in this small golden land alone is enough to offset the expenses of the Navy Headquarters for many years, which is truly jaw-dropping.

However, Gion was a person who had seen the world after all. Although she was extremely shocked, she did not lose her mind and did not ask Anno for the gold.

She knew very well that she came here only as a bystander in the identity of Teacher An Nuo, traveling to Sky Island for fun.

If you act too greedy and inappropriately at this moment, it would be a loss of grace and propriety.

So, Gion suppressed the excitement and desire in his heart and continued to quietly appreciate this mysterious and luxurious golden city.

Gion is deeply dissatisfied with the many problems existing within the navy today, especially the most serious and outrageous phenomenon of corruption.

In the remote East China Sea region, there are shameless people like "Colonel Mouse" who collude with pirates and exploit and squeeze civilians for personal gain serving as the navy.

However, such corrupt naval personnel are not only found in the East China Sea. Even in the naval headquarters, there are many such scums.

What is even more hateful is that many of them secretly deal with high-level officials of the World Government and collude with each other to form an intricate network of interests.

If all the gold in the Golden Country were stored in the treasury of the Navy Headquarters, I wonder how much of it would be embezzled by these greedy people.

At this moment, witnessing the magnificent scenery of this splendid golden city, Nami's jaw almost dropped to the ground in astonishment. Her originally lively big eyes quickly changed and flashed like a slot machine, and finally froze into two huge golden symbols.

All along, Annuo firmly believed that he would never be deceived and blinded by the so-called "mere gold".

However, when an entire prosperous city built of gold appeared before him, he suddenly realized that even blinking had become extremely difficult for him, as if he was afraid of missing out on any bit of the brilliant glory of this golden city.

According to legend, the famous traveler Marco Polo once used extremely exaggerated words to describe the mysterious East as a dreamland where gold was everywhere.

And at this moment, a city truly covered with gold appeared before everyone's eyes!

The scene before them was jaw-dropping. The mountains of gold appeared before everyone like a dazzling city.

Even Madam Makino, who was known for her calmness, couldn't help but widen her eyes at this moment, and exclaimed in amazement: "If Shandora was still standing in the world more than a thousand years ago, how prosperous it would be!"

However, this question may never be answered definitively, after all, no one has survived from that distant era to the present day.

Nowadays, people can only get a glimpse of the past appearance of Chandora through those scattered ancient books.

"Wow, it's so beautiful! I just want to live here forever!"

Kerla couldn't help but admire it, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement. Women seemed to have a natural lack of resistance to those golden and shining things.

"Such a magnificent sight, can't we move all of it back? It will be so beautiful to use this gold to decorate our orange hut!"

Faced with this breathtaking scene, everyone was deeply shocked.

Especially Nami, who was the most greedy for treasure, could not contain her inner excitement. Without saying a word, she aimed at one of the magnificent buildings and rushed towards it like a hungry tiger, as if she was afraid that the gold in front of her would disappear out of thin air in the next second.

However, just as Nami leaped into the air, Nojiko on the side suddenly took action.

Chapter 195 Adventure

Nokigao raised her jade hand lightly, and using the magical power of the natural star fruit she had just obtained, she instantly released a dazzling starlight, accurately and accurately imprisoned Nami in place, making her unable to move.

"Sister! Let me go!" Nami, who was tightly imprisoned, struggled with all her might and shouted loudly.

Nami's face turned red at this moment. She was very angry because she couldn't break free.

However, in the face of her sister's protest, Nojiko had no intention of letting go. Instead, she showed a smug, bullying expression on her face and said with a sneer, "Humph, after I gained the power of the Devil Fruit, you still dare to be so arrogant? Let me tell you, from today on, my experimental subject is you, my sister! Hahahahaha..."

"Sister, how can you bear to bully your lovely sister." Nami looked weak and pitiful.

Hearing this, Nojigo paused, and then continued in a mocking tone: "Haha, I really can't see what's so cute about you. In my opinion, you are just a guy who deserves a beating!"

Hearing her sister's words, Nami was so angry that she almost passed out, but she had no choice but to break free from the restraints.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she shouted quickly, "Oh, sister, let's not talk about this for now. Last night, I took advantage of your lack of strength and did something excessive to you. I was wrong. Can I apologize to you? Please let me go!"

As she spoke, Nami put on a pitiful look, with tears almost falling.

However, Nojigo was completely indifferent to Nami's pleas for mercy and still held her body tightly.

At the same time, the golden mountain not far away was shining with dazzling light, as if mocking Nami's current embarrassing situation.

Nuo Qigao said without even turning his head: "Stop pretending to be pitiful here, stay here and don't move! If you dare to mess around again, I will make you pay for it! Also, don't think about destroying it, just watch how your brother-in-law handles these things!"

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Nami's pleading.

On the other side, An Ni, who was standing next to Jin Shan, fell into deep thought.

He slowly said, "As far as I know, the Golden Country was first discovered by Nolando, about four hundred years ago."

However, this golden city of Shandora once had an extremely glorious history, which can be traced back to more than a thousand years ago.

At that time, the World Government had not even been officially established.

It’s a pity that such a prosperous place eventually fell into ruin.

And the time of its demise happened to be during the "blank hundred years" when research was prohibited...

There is no doubt that the reason why the once glorious city of Shandora is on the verge of destruction is that there must be an inextricable connection between it and the World Government.

If there is a chance, Annuo would like to explore the relationship between the two.

However, what is puzzling is that such a staggering amount of gold did not suffer the fate of being looted.

You know, if such a huge amount of gold was placed on the vast Qinghai River, its value would probably be enough to equal the total amount of heavenly gold that several countries pay as tribute to the Celestial Dragons every year in exchange for the protection of the World Government!

Speaking of Heavenly Gold, it is a unique existence within the World Government.

In order to obtain the protection of the World Government, every member country that joins the World Government has to pay a considerable amount of money to the Celestial Dragons year after year. This huge sum of money is vividly called protection fee - Heavenly Gold.

"Don't stop her. I have no interest in the long-forgotten history of Shandora. When we return to Qinghai, we just need to exchange all these golden treasures for white Baileys, and then concentrate on developing our village."

Originally, Annuo's original intention of coming to the Golden Country was to see the mountains of gold here. As for the vicissitudes and secrets of the past years, he never took them to heart at all.

Hearing this, Nojiko on the side couldn't help but turn his head to look at Nami who was begging for mercy pitifully, and a trace of pity arose in his heart.

After a slight hesitation, she finally softened her heart and quietly released the restraints and control on Nami.

In an instant, Nami disappeared without a trace in a flash, like a bird that had regained its freedom.

Almost at the same time, the others could no longer contain their excitement and rushed out impatiently.

They either stared with wide eyes in amazement at the dazzling array of rare treasures around them, or couldn't help but stretch out their hands to carefully touch the objects that made their hearts beat. Everyone's face was filled with excitement and joy.

As soon as Nami saw the buildings made of gold, her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered a huge treasure, and she ran towards them with brisk steps.

Her greedy eyes were fixed on the glittering golden building, her mouth was slightly open, and it looked like saliva was about to flow out of the corners of her mouth.

On the other side, the agile Kerla rushed to the top of the tallest building like lightning in the blink of an eye.

I saw her stepping lightly onto the roof, and then looking around like a nimble bird.

All that meets the eye is a golden light that is dazzling.

Faced with so much gold wealth, Kerla couldn't help but feel emotional.

How great it would be if we could take out a portion of it as start-up capital for the revolutionary army!

You know, she is not only Annuo's dual cultivation partner, but also a member of the revolutionary army.

Although she has a special dual identity, she still has deep feelings for the revolutionary army where she grew up.

Today, the struggle between the Revolutionary Army and the World Government is becoming increasingly fierce. The two sides are at loggerheads, and the shortage of funds has always been one of the problems that has plagued the development and growth of the Revolutionary Army.

At this moment, the thoughtful Annuo seemed to see through what Kerla was thinking.

He looked at Kerla's slightly melancholy face, walked slowly behind her, stretched out his hand and gently patted her shoulder, and said softly: "Don't worry, dear. In fact, I have a long history with the Revolutionary Army. How about this, you take this storage bag and put as much gold as possible in it. When we go back, we will give it to Long, so that the Revolutionary Army can solve its urgent needs."

After saying that, Annuo handed an exquisite storage bag to Kerla.

Hearing that Anno was so generous and willing to donate the extremely precious gold to the revolutionary army, Kerla's eyes instantly became bright as stars, and she blurted out in disbelief: "Really?"

An Nuo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and nodded gently in response: "Of course it's true."

However, at this moment, Kerla suddenly noticed Annuo's fiery and deep gaze, as if it contained endless profound meaning: "But how are you going to thank me?"

For some reason, her heart skipped a beat and an idea seemed to flash through her mind, but she was not sure.

Kerla's fair and tender little face quickly turned an attractive blush like a ripe apple.
