Sanji, Zoro and others quickly joined in, stacking heavy gold bricks neatly and orderly on one side of the square, forming a small gold mountain.

Al suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned to Nami and said, "Nami, it looks like we have collected enough gold. If this continues, even the Merry will be crushed. Don't forget, this is the treasure that originally belonged to the Shandia people, and we should leave a part of it for them."

When Nami heard that the ship might not be able to sail because it was too heavy, she finally stopped what she was doing.

She looked at the pile of gold in front of her, a barely perceptible reluctance flashed in her eyes, and she nodded and said, "That's it, Captain."

Al turned around and said to Luffy: "Luffy, I plan to give you one third of the gold, which is enough for you to change your ship and future expenses."

When Luffy heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, "Thank you so much, El!"

He shouted excitedly, holding Al's arm tightly with both hands, "You are such a good man! Now we can set off towards the Grand Line again!"

Chapter 29: Shandia and God (Please recommend and collect)

While waiting for Chief Shandia, Enelu's priests gradually woke up from their coma.

There was confusion and fear in their eyes. When they saw Nami standing there, these priests knelt down on the ground at the same time, shouting "new god" and expressing their willingness to surrender to Nami.

Obviously, under Enel's years of rule, they had long since succumbed to the power of the Thunder Fruit.

Seeing this, El signaled Nami that there was no need to take any further action.

He placed these priests on one side of the square and waited for further processing after the Shandians arrived.

It was not until sunset that the chief of Shandia finally appeared in everyone's sight.

When he stepped into the square, the first thing he saw was the huge golden clock standing there, and tears instantly streamed down his face.

The old chief stopped and his eyes were blurred with tears, but he quickly controlled his emotions and knelt down deeply to Al and others.

"Thank you, benefactors of Shandia! For four hundred years, the warriors of our tribe have been fighting bloody battles just to regain this land and the Bell of Shandora. Today, the long-cherished wish of our ancestors has finally been realized." His voice trembled slightly but was very loud.

Al quickly stepped forward to help the chief up and said gently: "Chief, you are too kind. All this is arranged by fate. Now we will return all of this to you, the Shandia people."

Hearing Al's words, the chief knelt down again, his tone even more excited: "The Shandia clan really has no way to repay you..."

"Chief, you don't have to do this," said Al. "If the Shandia people hadn't guarded this important historical text for eight hundred years, this precious historical record might have been lost long ago."

After communicating with the chief, El handed over all the former priests of Eneel to the Shandia clan and imprisoned them.

"Chief, I hope you can find the original god Gan Ful, and sit down together to end this war that has lasted for four hundred years."

The chief nodded and said, "I heard that he has used the alias of Sky Knight over the years. I will send all the tribesmen to find his whereabouts."

"Then we'll meet at Angel Island. Our ship will be parked there. There's still a lot of gold in the Ark Proverbs behind me. I hope the chief doesn't mind us taking some of it."

The chief waved his hands and said, "If it weren't for the benefactor, this gold would not belong to us at all, not to mention this land and the Bell of Shandora, so please take this gold as you like."

After declining the Shandia clan's invitation, Al agreed to meet them again on the beach of Angel Island.

El transformed into a blue dragon and carried everyone and the gold towards the Angel Coast where the Merry was anchored.

During the flight, the lively Luffy tried to climb onto Al's head, wanting to experience the feeling of a first-class seat.

But Al noticed it, bent down, used his dragon tail to knock him away, and then held him firmly in his hand.

Despite this, Luffy still enjoyed it, and his laughter echoed in the air.

When they arrived at Angel Coast, night had already begun to fall slowly, with only the last faint sunset glow remaining on the horizon.

After El changes back into human form, he asks Nami to take out some Berry and give it to Sanji and Usopp to go to the market to buy food.

The remaining boys, including Chopper, also got busy cutting down trees in the nearby woods and preparing to build a bonfire in preparation for the upcoming bonfire party.

"Luffy, you guys are really too poor. Look at Zoro's expression. I guess he hasn't had a good drink for a long time." El joked.

Luffy scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile: "I don't know what happened, the money was spent without me noticing."

Chopper stopped what he was doing, looked up at everyone, and said in his childish but serious voice: "It's all because they eat too much and we don't have any source of income along the way, so we are in this situation now."

When Sanji and his friends returned from the market with loads of food, Nami had already successfully caught a special-purpose shrimp hidden in the sea of clouds with the help of El's Observation Haki.

This shrimp is huge and transparent, and looks particularly attractive under the firelight.

Nami proudly displayed her trophy, her face filled with an unconcealable sense of accomplishment.

With the help of Nojigo, they cut the express shrimps and placed them on the makeshift grill. As the charcoal fire roasted, the shrimp meat gradually gave off an enticing aroma.

Everyone sat around the blazing bonfire, the air was filled with the mixed aroma of barbecue and seafood, making people salivate.

The fire on the beach flickered in the darkness, attracting attention from afar.

Al sensed that some residents of the Sky Island were attracted by the scene on the beach, but out of caution, they just watched from afar and did not dare to approach.

Since obtaining Eneel's mind network, although he no longer has the ability of the Thunder Fruit, El can still sense the movements within about one-third of the Sky Island.

Just as everyone was enjoying the food, Al suddenly noticed that a knight riding a sky-spotted bird horse was approaching at an alarming speed.

"A guest is coming," he said to Sanji, "Sanji, please help prepare an extra portion of ingredients."

Sanji put down the bottle of wine in his hand, took out a new set of tableware, and began to prepare additional food.

At the same time, Al stood up and walked towards the direction where Gan Fowle came from, waiting quietly.

Soon after, everyone heard the whistling of the Sky-Pointed Bird Horse as it approached quickly.

Gan Fowle stopped his mount Pierre in the air not far from them, sat steadily on the horse, and asked everyone in a sincere tone: "Friends from Qinghai who came from afar, did you defeat Enel?"

"Yes, that is what we did, Shengan Fol," Al replied, waving him to join their party.

"I am just a free mercenary sky knight, not a god." Gan Ful corrected with a smile, then jumped off the horse and sat down by the campfire.

"Thank you for defeating Enelu and restoring freedom to Sky Island."

"Have the Shandians contacted you?" Al asked.

Gan Fowle nodded, and replied with gratitude in his eyes: "Yes, the Shandians found me, and then I learned about Enel. So I rushed here overnight. You ended Enel's rule and saved all the people of Sky Island. Thank you very much."

Al smiled slightly and looked at Gan Fowl with a firm gaze. "In that case, I will speak frankly, God Gan Fowl. I know how precious land is to Sky Island. But I hope you can lead the people of Sky Island to live in peace with the people of Shandia and jointly develop the island of God."

Gan Fowle nodded and responded, "Mr. Al, I will do my best to make this happen."

Al smiled happily, "Since God has guaranteed it, there must be no problem."

After hearing the end of their conversation, Sanji took out the prepared food and invited Gan Fowler to enjoy a delicious campfire dinner together.

Chapter 30 Leaving Sky Island (Please recommend and collect)

The next morning, Gan Fowle stood on a high platform and announced this shocking news to the gathered people of Sky Island.

There was silence in the crowd at first, as if everyone couldn't believe their ears.

Afterwards, some people began to conduct tests carefully and found that the omnipresent divine punishment had indeed disappeared.

More people joined this test, and no matter how they discussed Eneel, no more divine punishment fell from the sky.

People's faces were filled with incredible joy, and many people were so excited that they burst into tears. Years of fear and repression were finally released.

Children ran and played in the crowd, the elderly hugged each other, and the young people waved their arms and shouted slogans of freedom and peace.

At this moment, all the pain and suffering seemed to be thrown behind, replaced by infinite hope for the future.

When people had vented their years of pent-up resentment, Gan Forge stood up again.

His voice was gentle but powerful: "Dear compatriots, now is the time for us to put aside the hatred of the past and live in peace with the Shandians. We live together under this empty island. Only when we unite together can we truly protect our home."

His words were like a spring breeze that brushed through everyone's heart, gradually calming the excitement in the crowd.

People began to think seriously about Gan Fore's words, and many people showed understanding and support in their eyes.

At this moment, a white-haired, kind-looking old man slowly stepped forward and said firmly to Gan Ful: "God, please come back! We are willing to reconcile with the Shandia tribe under your leadership."

Although the old man's voice was trembling, it was full of determination and trust. His eyes were shining with longing for the future and unconditional support for Gan Fowler.

Following the old man's lead, more people responded, and their voices merged into a torrent, requesting Gan Ful to resume his position as God and continue to lead the people of Sky Island.

"Shenmangan Ful, we need you!" "Please come back and lead us!" The calls rose one after another, resounding through the sky.

Faced with this sudden request, a hint of surprise flashed in Gan Forer's eyes, followed by deep emotion.

He looked around and saw countless faces full of expectation. Those people who had suffered so much were now placing their hopes on him.

Gan Fowle took a deep breath and said slowly: "If you don't blame me for not protecting Sky Island well in the past few years and letting Enelu do whatever he wants, I am willing to accept this responsibility."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into warm applause and cheers again, and the air was filled with the atmosphere of unity and harmony.

Surrounded by the crowd, Gan Fowle stood in the position of leader again and began his mission as God.

Through his Observation Haki, El sensed that Gan Ful had successfully convinced the residents of Sky Island.

Afterwards, he led the people of Shandia to the square.

With the arrival of the Shandia people, the atmosphere in the square became more lively.

People made way for the chief and his people to reach the platform smoothly.

The chief was dressed in traditional attire, with a solemn and determined expression on his face, and every step he took seemed particularly powerful.

During this historic moment, Gan Fore and the Chief ascended the podium together.

The two stood face to face, their eyes met, full of understanding and trust. They held each other's hands tightly, as if holding the hope for the future.

Afterwards, the two raised their arms and shouted: "Sky Island and Shandia have formed an eternal brotherhood!"

The people in the square responded in unison; cheers, applause and slogans intertwined to form a moving symphony.

The whole scene was like a vivid picture scroll, recording this historical moment full of hope and peace.

Feeling the joy of the people of Sky Island, El and Luffy smiled at each other and exchanged glances tacitly.

They quietly left the square, walked through the jubilant crowd, and returned to the quiet Angel Beach.

The sun shines on the sparkling sea, and the golden light complements the blue sky and white clouds, as if even the sea is celebrating this moment of peace.

The two stood on the beach, looking into the distance. They were preparing to head towards the end of the clouds that Gan Fowle had mentioned, where there was a passage to leave the Sky Island.

Last night, Gan Fort specially gave them two whistles, which could summon the octopus balloon, a specialty of Sky Island, to ensure that their ship landed safely on the Qinghai Sea.

Just as Al and Luffy were about to set off, a figure quietly appeared not far away.

It was Conis, who had played an instrument at Angel Beach, and she had keenly noticed the two's departure.

Conis quickly called her father and quickly rushed towards the direction of El and Luffy.

Six years ago, Enel defeated the god Gan Fowl and used his immense strength to impose terror on Sky Island for six years.

Over the years, countless people have challenged God Eneel but ended up in failure.

Now, the news of Enelu's defeat shocked the entire Sky Island. Conis intuitively thought that this must be related to the people in front of her.

She quickened her pace, wanting to express her gratitude to them in person.

As Conis and her father approached, El and Luffy noticed their arrival.

When they got closer, Conis stopped, took a deep breath, and then said in a clear voice: "Thank you, Luffy and El, thank you for saving Sky Island."

"Don't be so polite," Al said gently, "We just did what we were supposed to do."

"Yeah," Luffy grinned, giving his signature smile, "This is the adventure I've been looking for!"

She said softly, "But please allow me to express my deepest gratitude to you on behalf of all the people of Sky Island. You not only saved us, but also brought new hope."

Conis took out her organ, her fingers danced lightly on the strings, and a melodious melody sounded, like the sound of nature, bidding farewell to those who were about to leave.

The music is full of gratitude and blessings, and every note seems to be telling the voice of the people of Sky Island.

Listening to the wonderful music, Al turned around and asked the crew members behind him: "Everyone, do we need a musician on our ship?"

Weiwei immediately understood what Al meant. She looked at Conis's father, smiled and said, "Captain, I also know a few instruments. If you need me, I can play for you."

There was a hint of playfulness in her words, obviously reminding Al not to make decisions on a whim.

Al touched his head and gave an awkward smile. As soon as he saw the beautiful woman, he wanted to invite her on board.

When they reach the end of the cloud, El reminds Luffy and the others to remember to use the whistle given by Gan Fool.

As the two ships descended from the air, two clear whistles cut through the sky.

At the whistle, two giant octopuses quickly flew out from the clouds, stretched out their long tentacles, and grabbed the boat tightly.

These octopuses were like giant hot air balloons, slowing down the ship's descent and ensuring they could land safely on Qinghai.
