Chapter 762 Men’s Romance
Without the conflict of interest, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Sandia Tribe joined forces in Arpaiado. Weber and others will help the Straw Hat Pirates find the gold and then send them away.
However, the gold in the Arpaio ruins had long been emptied by Vic. Even if archaeologist Robin found the real ruins of the Golden City, it would be useless because there was no gold left.
Standing in the ruins, Robin and others realized that the Golden City recorded in the biography of Rolando, the Big Liar, really existed, but the gold in it was taken away by someone in advance.
But in the end, Robin and Nami, with their amazing wisdom, combined the legends they had heard from Gan Fowler, Weber and others, as well as the records in the biography of Rolando, the Liar, and they deduced the approximate whereabouts of the golden bell.
Because if there is still gold in this ruins, it must be the golden bell that rang but disappeared when the land of Arpaiado was washed up by the rising ocean current.
By comparing the map with the actual objects, Robin and Nami guessed the original location of the golden bell, which was the right eye of the skeleton. However, there was a huge bean vine standing there now, as if a bean vine plant had passed through the right eye of the skeleton.
The subsequent guesses were much simpler. The golden bell was most likely knocked away by this giant bean vine when Arpaillat first arrived at the Sky Island. It can only be said that all this was too much of a coincidence. The giant bean vine just happened to pierce Arpaillat's right eye and fixed the land there.
The place where the right eye is located happens to be the location of the Golden City, and the Golden Bell is the most sacred object in the Golden City, so much so that the God of Angel Island has been searching for the holy object that can make beautiful bell sounds for four hundred years but has not found it. Then there are many gaps in history, and the Golden Bell only exists in history and legends. It is a question whether it existed or not!
Nami and Robin figured out the whereabouts of the golden bell, and the next thing was much simpler. They just had to search for all the island clouds floating around the giant bean vine.
There are many island clouds around the giant bean vine, some big, some small, some thick, some thin. These were all caused by the impact when Arpaiado flew up, smashing the originally large island cloud into pieces.
"Ah! A fool actually found it!"
"Why? Sister Robin!"
"Hey! I'm telling you guys, work harder in the future and you'll gain a lot!"
"Luffy! What are you talking about? Everyone is tired as a dog, but you are the only one who looks like he's on a picnic!"
"Usopp! Sanji! Beat him! Beat him hard! You won't have any food to eat unless you beat him into a pig's head!"
In the end, it was Luffy who found the Golden Bell. Everyone else was looking for the Golden Bell seriously, but only Luffy wanted to climb up and look far away. Then he saw a huge Golden Bell on a small island cloud not far away at the top of the bean vine.
Everyone else was very angry. Why did you, a person who did nothing, find it first when everyone else was looking for it so hard but couldn't? This was not fair at all. But what if it was unfair? How many things in this world were truly fair?
Nami was so angry that she complained a few words. After Luffy said that, she gathered people to beat Luffy up. Sanji and Usopp were also dissatisfied with Luffy who only talked but did nothing, so they beat him extra hard. In less than two minutes, Luffy turned into a pig's head!
Everyone was surprised to find the golden bell, but this was only the first step. The next step was to find a way to take the golden bell down.
The golden bell is not small and heavy. It is not something that they can get down just by wanting to. If they are not careful, the golden bell may fall directly into the Qinghai below the Sky Island, and all their efforts would be in vain. This is something Nami absolutely cannot allow. If they cannot get some of such a large piece of gold, then their trip to the Sky Island would be in vain.
Finally, everyone brainstormed and came up with a solution, which was to use giant bean vines.
Tie the golden bell to the upper and middle part of the giant bean vine with several strong vines, then chop down the giant bean vine at a calculated angle, and use the huge inertia generated when the giant bean vine falls to pull the golden bell down from the island cloud in one fell swoop!
This plan is still very feasible. Everyone is busy working for this plan, except Luffy, who is looking here and there on the golden bell with a pig face, looking like he has nothing to do, which makes Nami angry again!
However, after thinking that asking Luffy for help might make things worse, she gave up the idea. If he likes to play, let him play, as long as he doesn't interfere with other people's work.
All preparations were ready, leaving only the last task of cutting down the giant bean vine. This task was assigned by Nami to Zoro and Weber, one with a knife and the other with a scorpion. With the cooperation of the two, the giant bean vine fell down in the predetermined direction.
But at this time Luffy was still having a lot of fun on the Golden Bell, and no one else paid attention to him. Everyone was waiting for the final step in Arpailla below.
The giant bean vine fell down, and the vine connecting the giant bean vine and the golden bell was quickly stretched straight. A huge force acted on the golden bell, and the golden bell instantly broke away from the island cloud and flew downwards. The sound of huge bells clanging was heard continuously.
The golden bell flew out so fast that Luffy had no time to react before being blown away by the huge inertia. However, Luffy was not afraid at all. He held the straw hat on his head and laughed.
At this time, Luffy didn't know that the huge sound of the Golden Bell had already reached Qinghai below, and even his huge shadow holding up the straw hat was imprinted on the clouds by the sunlight.
Kulikai on Gaya Island was attracted by the melodious bell sounds. When he looked up, he saw the huge and iconic shadow on the clouds!
Seeing the shadow and hearing the bell, Kulikai showed a bright smile on his face, but his eyes were full of tears! Because the Straw Hat Boy confirmed the guess of his ancestor Rolando before his execution, the Golden City really flew to the sky, and his ancestor Rolando was not a liar!
Rebecca, who was on Gaya Island, was also attracted by the bell. When she saw the huge shadow, she knew that the person she was looking for had gone to heaven. She had always had the bounty order of the Straw Hat Boy in her hand, and as soon as she saw the shadow, she understood everything!
As for Sky Island, although she has never been there, she still knows of its existence. No pirate in the New World would question the existence of Sky Island. Only those weak pirates who are not able to go there in the first half or who think that an island in the sky is a fantasy would question the existence of Sky Island!
Rebecca was finally relieved to know that the Straw Hat Boy was not dead. As long as they were still alive, they would definitely return to the below. Then she would be able to find them by collecting information about them. Then Rebecca left Gaya Island. She wanted to find a place to practice.
......
Because there was plenty of time and the plan was perfect, there was an island cloud that cushioned the golden bell before it landed in Arpaiado, so the golden bell was intact when it landed in Arpaiado, and the golden pillar was not broken at all.
Nami's plan to take some gold away was ruined. She was very disappointed. She found Luffy, who flew back unharmed with the power of the Rubber Fruit, and beat him up.
Robin was studying the historical text embedded in the base of the golden clock with great interest. However, the content of the historical text disappointed her. It was actually a record of ancient weapons. However, seeing the message left by Pirate King Roger on the gold, Robin regained her confidence.
All the enemies have been killed and the golden bell has been recovered, so the next step is naturally to hold a banquet.
Since it was a banquet, dancing was inevitable, and the accompaniment was the golden bell. The continuous sound of the bell attracted the Lord of the Sky deep in Arpaiado. The unique bell sound was the fairy sound that it had bathed in as a child. After four hundred years, it finally heard it again, which made it cry!
The arrival of the Lord of the Sky scared everyone at the banquet, but when they saw that the Lord of the Sky was only interested in the sound of the bell and had no ill will towards others, everyone felt relieved.
The banquet continued. The Lord of the Sky felt sad and nostalgic for a while, but then he recovered and joined the banquet and started dancing!
The party lasted for most of the night. Most people were drunk and fell asleep, and Arpaiado returned to the quietness of the night.
