Chapter 306 Ringing the Bell of Hope
Looking down from the top of the bean vine, you can see the small island cloud carrying the golden bell. The altitude here is estimated to be about 12,000 to 13,000 meters, and the air is even thinner, but Vic still jumped onto the island cloud easily.
The golden bell is really big and is made entirely of gold. The patterns on it are very exquisite and the overall look is very spectacular!
The Golden Bell is suspended by a huge golden bracket and supported by two thick golden pillars on both sides. The place with the most gold is the base which contains the historical text.
This large base can be used as a sumo ring, and its height is four or five meters, which is definitely a huge fortune.
But Vic did not become greedy. He already had enough gold on him, so there was no need to fleece it from one place. The golden bell had a promised mission, so at least he did not need to take it away now. He could come back when he really needed it.
"With Nami's wit and love of money, she will definitely find this place. The Straw Hat Boy came to Sky Island for adventure, but Nami came here for the Golden Country.
The Golden Merry was no longer able to function after arriving at Sky Island. Without gold, they couldn't change ships. I couldn't take all the gold.
Without Enelu and his crew this time, it is not certain whether the Straw Hat Pirates can still enter the belly of the Lord of the Sky to search for treasure.
Then just leave some gold here, if it's Nami, she will definitely be able to find this place!"
Vic placed some gold in the base of the golden bell, enough to buy a new ship.
This place has not been discovered by the people of Sky Island for hundreds of years, and it will be equally difficult to break the situation later. These must be broken by outsiders. Without Enelu, Nami and Robin will probably be the first people to come here. This world needs the Straw Hat Pirates to break the corrupt pattern.
After putting the gold away, Vic came to the main text of history. This was the object that Sandora in the Golden Country was guarding.
It's just that Vic already knew the general content of the above, but Vic didn't let it go. He took out paper and ink and started to make rubbings. He wanted to study the main text of history in the future. The more ancient texts there were, the more material he would have to study.
"Eight years ago, Pirate King Roger and his companions stood here to visit the Golden Bell! It was here that they learned about the existence of Poseidon, the King of the Sea.
So before that, they must have been to Alabasta and read the records of Pluto.
Roger relied on his ability to listen to the voices of all things. He was able to know where the stones that recorded the historical texts were.
Therefore, the journey after borrowing Kozuki Oden is to run on the road of interpreting the main text of history until the final island Raftel!
He already knew the location of many historical texts from his previous travels, and even the historical texts of the road signs at Big Mom's place were obtained before Oden boarded the ship.
The preparations were very thorough, so Roger reached the end of the Grand Line in one fell swoop, completing this feat and becoming the Pirate King! "
When Victor stood in front of the golden bell, it was as if he saw the members of Roger's pirate group having a banquet here. There was a feeling of time and space interweaving. This was the charm of pursuing the past and history!
Vic was also very excited. The last time was at the execution platform in Rogue Town. However, Vic was weak at that time and yearned to be strong. His emotions were different from now. Vic now has a foothold in this world, and he will be able to stand more firmly as time goes by.
"The natives of Gaya Island were driven out of their homeland and have lived in dark corners for nearly four hundred years. They are also a group of pitiful people. Please leave them a little hope before you leave!"
The situation of the indigenous people of Gaya Island reminded Vic of a race from his previous life.
Vic went directly to the golden bell and pulled the pendulum rope in the bell. Then, Arpaiado once again rang the huge bell after four hundred years. The residents of the entire Angel Island seemed to have pressed the pause button. They all stopped what they were doing and listened attentively to the deafening bell sound coming from the sky!
In the Shandian tribe, the old chief burst into tears when he heard the legendary bell, and hope was lit in his heart. Their nearly four hundred years of struggle were not in vain, the lights of Shandora did not disappear, and they would definitely be able to return to their homeland. Today's bell was the instruction given to him by the great warrior Kalgara.
In the tribe, the several-year-old Weber and a few of his friends were also listening to the wonderful bell sounds. It was the most beautiful sound they had ever heard since they were born. The sound seemed to come from deep in their blood and had a deep sense of intimacy. They knew that it would be their lifelong pursuit.
The Sky Lord, who was lying dead in the Arpaiado Forest, also heard the long-lost bell. It was its companion in childhood, but everything changed after it came to this place with thin air. It could no longer hear the charming bell. It had been searching for it on this island for four hundred years. Finally! Today, it heard it again. At this moment! The Sky Lord completely forgot the pain in his body, and a humane and silly smile appeared on his snake face.
"The last bell brought a huge disaster - Arpaiado. I wonder what will happen to Angel Island this time! The war has lasted long enough. Is there no perfect solution?"
The god Gan Fowl in the shrine was also a little dazed when listening to the bell. The legend was true, there really was a bell that echoed throughout the heaven.
At this time, the bell rang again, and Gan Fore was in a complicated mood. He remembered the situation reported by Amazon. What was the connection between the mysterious man and the bell? Could he be as important as Arpaillado? Of the same size?
Gan Ful and other people on Angel Island did not know that the bell sound came from the huge golden bell. They had been fighting with the Shandians and could not learn these things from them.
I have always believed that the sound of the bell is a true instruction from the gods. The last time it rang, it brought a huge amount of precious land. It was a gift from heaven. What will happen when it rings this time? What will change?
Vic rang the golden bell for a full quarter of an hour, and the sound spread throughout Angel Island and the tribes of Shandia, and could even be heard on Gaya Island below.
The legend of the mysterious bell on Gaya Island has also been preserved here, and Wenbulan Kulikai, who came here later, was also trapped on the island by this legend.
He believed more firmly in the existence of the Golden City than in the original book, and that his ancestor Rolando had not lied, because there was a record of the bell in Rolando's diary.
He gave up his identity as a pirate and searched for the whereabouts of the Golden City every day. He had guessed earlier that the Golden City had been washed up into the sky.
But when the time really came, he didn't have the courage to go up to the sky. He was afraid that the result might be what he had guessed, because he had never heard the legendary bell on Gaya Island. He could only place his hopes on someone with more courage.
"The sound of this golden bell is really special and soul-stirring! It is definitely made by a master. It is definitely not a gold ornament made by simply melting gold and pouring it into a mold. This is a work of art!"
Vic was sentimental for a moment and then left. Hope had been planted. Vic didn't know that ringing the golden bell just to give the Shandian people hope would also bring about many influences and changes!
Apart from the golden bell, there was nothing special here. He now needed to find Gan Fowler to ask for Bica's address and how to get there.
He still doesn't know how the sky islands communicate with each other.
Gan Furl is easy to find. You can find him by releasing your Observation Haki. He is in the shrine that Enel later occupied.
Gan Fol is now a god, so it makes sense for him to live here. Vic quietly bypassed the guards of the temple and came to Gan Fol's residence.
The layout here is very simple, not luxurious at all. It may be because there are too few resources in the sky, so luxury is not possible.
"You are the God of Angel Island, right? I have something to ask you." Vic's voice woke up Gan Fowle who was dozing with his eyes closed.
