Chapter 74
800 years ago, twenty ambitious kings launched a war, targeting a "giant kingdom" that once ruled the world. Due to premonition of his own failure, the giant kingdom produced forty undestructible historical texts and recorded many secrets in special words. One of them recorded the real history, four recorded the signposts leading to Ravrud, three recorded ancient weapons, and nine recorded various intelligences. The person who recorded the Hikatsuki clan of Wano Country.
A piece of historical text was handed over to Chandora on the island of Gaya. The text was engraved on the pedestal of the Golden Bell, and the content was about the ancient weapon "Sea King".
It is rumored that every few hundred years, a princess with great power to destroy the world will be born in the mermaid clan. She has the ability to communicate with the sea kings and is called the "king" by the super giant sea kings with intelligence. As long as the mermaid princess gives orders, countless sea kings in the depths of the sea will riot together, which is completely enough to destroy everything on the sea. This is the truth of the ancient weapon, "Sea King".
The war launched by the twenty kings quickly swept the world, and Shandora was no exception. In order to protect the historical text, Shandora was destroyed. Perhaps because of the fierce resistance of the ancestors of the Shandora, the Golden Bell was not discovered and was preserved.
Subsequently, the surviving people rebuilt the city based on the remains of the ruins of the gold capital and continued to live peacefully on Gaya Island.
However, Odo naturally would not tell the Shandia people these things. What he revealed was the story from 400 years ago to the present.
400 years ago, the great adventurer Nolando came here and found that the people of Shandora still retained the ignorant custom and would sacrifice the girl to the "Snake God" - a huge python named Cassie in order to relieve the plague.
Nolandu couldn't bear to see the tragedy happen, so he rescued the girl and clashed with the great warrior Kargla. After a big battle between the two sides, Nolandu promised that since the ceremony was interrupted, he would save the village. This kind of words were regarded as disrespect for God by the Shandia people. Do you want to become a "god"?
At this time, the chief 400 years ago decided to let Nolandu fulfill his promise. Correspondingly, his crew members would stay in Shandora as hostages. If Nolandu fails to make a promise, he will dedicate the crew members to the Snake God.
Then, Nolandu went outside the village to find plants that could cure the plague. During this period, an earthquake broke out, and the Shandia people were treated as a god, but in fact it was a sign of the outbreak of the currents soaring into the sky.
Nolandu was stuck in the cracked earth, but this person was very powerful. He could shake the earth when he struggled, which shocked Kargla.
After a series of conflicts, the misunderstanding between the two sides was finally resolved. Kargla broke through the obstacle in his heart and defeated the python they regarded as a "god". Nolando also prepared medicine and cured the plague.
The two sides once held a banquet harmoniously, but after all, they lived in different environments and customs. Soon, complaints appeared in the village, and some people complained that Nolandu and others had trampled on their history and killed the "god".
It turned out that in order to cut off the plague "hot tree disease", Nolandu cut off the woods surrounding the village, but according to the tradition of the Shandia people, they believed that the dead ancestors would return to the trees to protect them. Cutting off the big trees was equivalent to killing their ancestors.
Nolandu was very ashamed of this and was about to leave. However, the people of Shandiya were not ungrateful wolves who were unrequited. Although they complained, they were actually very grateful to Nolandu. After learning that the other party was about to leave, they sent a large amount of gold, but were rejected by Nolandu.
In order to repay Nolandu's kindness, the Shandia people rang the golden bell to see Nolandu off, and they hope that one day, Nolandu will return to Shandora following the bell.
Then the tragedy happened. Four years later, a current suddenly broke out, rushing part of Gaya Island to the Sky Island. The people of Gaya Island launched a war in order to seize this huge "Bass" - that is, land. When Nolandu came to Gaya Island again under the order of the king, he saw a broken island and did not see any golden town at all. Nolandu was executed for the crime of deceiving the king. His story was even regarded as a joke and had been infamous for hundreds of years.
"That's what Shandora's story."
After listening to the stories of their ancestors, the Shandia people were already crying and burst into tears.
The chief sighed and said, "That's right, since the lost Golden Bell, the great warrior Kargla learned about the experience of Nolandu from the people from Qinghai, and died with regret. We have always hoped that the Golden Bell will ring again and lead the souls of this pair of close friends to reunite in this place closest to heaven..."
"Woooooooo..." Fufu bit her collar and burst into tears.
Bista sighed: "What a romantic story."
Gan Fore was silent, while the God Guards were moved.
Odo gently stroked the Golden Bell and commented: "The Golden Bell is a symbol of the friendship between Nolando and Shandora. It witnesses the intersection of the sky and the ocean, and is the crystallization of the evolution of the times. Now, I will return this treasure to you. From today on, you will live here as a fellow islander. Gan Fore, although you are no longer a ‘god’, I will also ask for your meaning. Do you object to it?"
Gan Fore sighed: "This is better, nothing more precious than peace."
The chief turned around and looked at the reactions of the people. After hearing the stories of the ancestors, everyone's resistance became weaker, and their hostility towards Odo and others gradually disappeared.
So, in the witness of the Hokkien and the Shandy, Odo shook hands with the Chief, and then a shocking cheer rang out.
"The war! It's over!"
clang!
The beautiful bell sounded again on this earth and the sky after 400 years of silence.
The woods shaking, a giant python raised its head, revealing a humanized happy expression, and the snake sentimented and spitted loudly.
"Nolan! Have you heard it too? The sound of the Golden Bell!"
This snake is a descendant of the previous generation of "Snake God". It was still a small snake for 400 years. It was named "Nolan" by the Shandia people to commemorate their friendship with Nolandu.
Nolan swam over, then lay in front of the Golden Bell, and leisurely closed his eyes.
"Oh! What a big snake!" Fufu said in surprise.
Although he is huge, Nolan's combat power is not too strong. Although he can easily resist guns and cannons with his physical advantage, that's all. Maybe he can't beat the baboons on Kraikana Island in the future - those baboons learned Mihawk's tricks and suppressed Zoro for a while.
Odo smiled and touched Fufu's head, turned around and said, "Since that's the case, Apayado has successfully returned to the rule of 'God'. Gan Fore, do you have anything to say?"
Gan Fore shook his head and said with some regret: "Since you have conquered Angel Island and Apayado, it is legitimate to be the god who ruled Sky Piea. I have no objection, there is only one thing, I want to ask you."
"Speak and listen."
Gan Fur said seriously: "Please treat your people well, so that everyone in the Sky Island will respect and love you with all their heart and soul."
"I am not a cruel person, but since the God of the previous generation asked, it's okay to make a promise." Odo laughed.
Gan Fore completely let go of his heart and said, "Then I'll wait and see."
In the evening, everyone held a banquet, and the god guards and Shandia people, who represented the Sky Island people, sat in a group, and they were a little embarrassed with each other.
Fufu glanced around and ran to Wei Bo.
"Hey, little dear."
Weber frowned and said, "It's you, is there anything wrong?"
Fufu patted Wei Bo's shoulder and smiled and said, "Don't be so stingy, didn't you just beat you up? Hello, I said, do you want to be my little brother?"
Weiber's shoulders shrank, and he had just put on a strap.
He looked at Fufu with a strange look, and Weibo asked, "Why?"
Fufu said, "Is this still necessary to ask? Of course it is because I am better than you."
Wei Bo said calmly: "Then why don't I be Odo's younger brother? He is the strongest one, right? And Odo is also the god of Sky Piea."
Fufu's eyes rolled and she said, "That's not possible. Odo will not accept you. His little brothers are all monsters of great strength. You must first intern under my command for a period of time."
Weber was a little surprised and asked, "Is there such a rule? But your strength is not very strong, right? Why did Odo give you such an important task?"
Fufu stammered and said, "Anyway, this is the rule. Are you going to come to our pirate group?"
Weber thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, since he is a subordinate of God, I am willing to join."
