Chapter 888: The Lights of Shandora: I’m on fire!
"Huh?! A person came out of the snake's mouth?!"
"Is that Kira?!"
When Kira came out of the Lord of the Sky, he immediately heard a cry of surprise coming from beside him. He looked in the direction of the voice and was surprised to find that it was Luffy and his crew.
"So it's you guys, are you coming to the island for adventure?"
Luffy grinned and said, "Yeah! Let's go find the Golden Country!"
"gold?!"
Hearing this, Kira knew that they must have discovered that this was Gaya Island, and according to the maps of Gaya Island and Arpaiado, they discovered the "Golden Land at the Right Eye of the Skull".
"Idiot Luffy!! Don't talk about this kind of thing everywhere!! What if the other party takes it first?!"
Nami and Usopp's faces changed drastically. They pulled Luffy's ears and growled. Then they covered Luffy's mouth on the left and right and smiled awkwardly at Kira, "No...that...you heard it wrong! There is no gold!! Hehehahaha..."
Kira: “…”
Please, if you are lying, make it more convincing! I heard it all!!
Kira didn't say much, but half-showed off, he took out the package of gold from his back, placed it in front of Luffy and the others, and shook it proudly: "Is this the gold you are talking about?"
Straw Hat Pirates: “…”
It's over! It's so embarrassing to have my lie exposed in front of others!
However, this embarrassment was soon replaced by extreme excitement. Luffy and his crew, led by Nami, became captives of gold the moment they saw the golden treasure. Their eyes turned into Bailey's, and they looked at the cloth bag in Kira's hand excitedly.
"Ohhhh!!! It's gold?!!!"
"There really is a golden land here?!!"
"Where is it? Where is the Golden Country?!"
Kira did not answer directly. Instead, under the eager gaze of Luffy and others, he took out the golden treasures from the package one by one and placed them on the ground: "Watch carefully..."
"This is a golden crown. I'll put it on and show it to you. How about it? Pretty cool, right?"
"Mmmmm!! So handsome!!"
"This is a gold necklace. Doesn't it look expensive? It would be sold for at least 2 million baileys in Qinghai. If you take into account its historical significance, it would be worth even more than that!"
"2...2 million Baileys?!"
"Look at this! A golden armband! Let me feel it for you. Is it heavy enough?"
"It's... too much! This one weighs at least 10 kilograms!"
"Stop smelling it and look at this..."
Under the shocked and envious gazes of the Straw Hat Pirates, and with the sound of slurping saliva, Kira showed off all the gold he had taken from the giant snake's mouth, and then ruthlessly took it away.
"Have you finished reading it? I'll put it away once you're done!"
"Stop!! I haven't touched you enough!!"
"Please, Brother Kira, let me see it again!!"
"That's gold! Gold! How many times in a lifetime can a person face so much gold?!"
Looking at Luffy and the others crying, Kira's unhappiness about leaving the Golden Bell just now was instantly swept away: "Hey, don't blame me for being cruel, I'm doing this for your own good! What does it matter if you watch for a longer time? Anyway, you will have to say goodbye in the end, it's better to suffer a short pain than a long one!"
Then why don't you use it to tempt people in the first place! ! Bastard! ! !
"Well, isn't there a golden country here?"
Finally, Zoro, who was more rational, called Luffy and others, "Since he can find gold here, so can we!"
Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke and agreed, "The algae-head is right, Nami-san! There must be more than just this package of gold in the legendary Golden Country. We can go find more gold!"
"This...this...okay..." Nami had tears in her eyes and reluctantly put down the gold in her hand.
Seeing Nami's actions, Kira suddenly laughed, his eyes narrowed into a line , like a sinister and cunning red-haired fox: "Oh, I'm so sorry, the Golden Country has been taken away by me!"
"What?!"
"What did you say?! You said you took the Golden Country away? Hey, hey, hey... How is that possible?!"
Usopp seemed to have heard a huge joke. He lowered his head and couldn't help laughing. At the same time, he waved his hands and said, "I didn't expect you to be more boastful than me. That's an entire golden city. How could you take all the gold? Unless you are the only one left in the Golden City..."
At this point, his laughter stopped abruptly. "Wait! Isn't this really all the gold is left?"
"Of course... not!"
"These are just the treasures swallowed by the snake. Most of the gold was taken by the original god here to build a golden ship."
"Golden...ship??"
Several people were stunned. They didn't expect that someone would be so extravagant as to use gold to build a ship. "What about the remaining small portion of gold?"
"The remaining part is the golden bell. That is the light of Shandora. Do you really want to take that?"
Even I can't bear to do it, how dare you?
"The lights of Shandora?! Could it be..."
"The golden bell mentioned in the story of "The Great Liar Nolando"... actually exists?!!"
Upon learning that the Golden City and the Golden Bell really exist, Luffy and his crew can't help but feel happy for Nolando's descendant, Mont Blanc Kulikate, the chestnut-headed uncle who was diving on Gaya Island in search of the Golden City.
At this moment, a pleasant bell suddenly rang.
The sound is as clear as sweet spring water, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when they hear it; it is as mellow as wine, which makes people indulge in it and leave an endless aftertaste.
It is ancient, profound and long-lasting, like an ancient sage with supreme wisdom telling his descendants about his invaluable life experiences accumulated over who knows how many years.
It was powerful and unyielding, like a brave warrior shouldering supreme glory, expressing to his family and friends the joy of being reunited after a long separation.
The resounding bell sounds spread over thousands of miles. The entire Arpaado, Angel Island, the canal channel of the White Sea, and Gaya Island above the Qinghai were all immersed in the sound of the bell, forgetting all their worries and sorrows.
"Is this the legendary...song of the island?"
“What a beautiful sound!!”
"Is this the bell that guides lost people in the storm?"
"Uncle, they should have heard it, right?"
"Sure enough, it would be more meaningful if the Golden Bell was rung by the descendants of Kalgara!"
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! …
The song, which has been sung for four hundred years, penetrates through layers of cumulus clouds and strikes the hearts of all the listeners again and again.
Everyone listened quietly, closing their eyes and enjoying this moment of peace. Only the birds in the forest and the snakes on the ground cheered and jumped for joy, joining in the laughter.
At this moment, Kira felt as if his whole body was cleansed, from the outside to the inside, from top to bottom, from body to soul, and he couldn't help but be moved.
Damn it, I actually wanted to sell it for money! !
But the birds are so loud and unpleasant, can they please stop? I can hardly hear the bells!!
The ringing of the bell represents the end of war and the arrival of peace.
Witnessed by Kira and his crew and Luffy and his crew, Ganfor, the old god representing the people of Sky Island, and the great elder representing the people of Shandia shook hands and made peace. Both sides put aside their past grudges and decided to live together on Angel Island and Arpayard in the future. Everything is developing in a good direction.
For the next whole day, all the people from Shandia and Angel Island were mobilized. They pulled ropes and built carts, and worked for a long time in order to move the golden bell down from the top of the vines. However, the thing was big and heavy, and its location was very high, making it extremely dangerous. It was not an easy task to take it down.
In the end, Kira couldn't bear it anymore and helped them.
"I only helped you out of respect for Zhong Sheng, and as a reward for helping you take it down, I will accept this golden pillar without hesitation."
"No problem, all we need is the Golden Bell!"
"I'm not greedy, am I? Are you cursing me in your heart for stealing your gold?"
"Not at all! You are the most generous person I have ever met. You are a great benefactor to us Shandians. We are extremely grateful to you and have absolutely no complaints!"
The great elder of the Shandian people was very easy to talk to. When he learned that Eneel was defeated by Kira and that he planned to take Eneel, the priests and the divine soldiers away in one go, and that Kira also helped them find their homeland, Shandora, and was willing to return Arpayard to the Shandian people, his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
In fact, he also knew that with Kira's ability, he could take all the gold away and leave nothing for them. Now he was willing to leave the golden bell to them only because Kira was a good person, so they were very satisfied.
Besides, they don’t value gold in the first place, so this way both sides get what they want, which can be said to be a perfect win-win situation.
The only losers were the Straw Hat Pirates. After learning that all the gold was taken away by Killer, they were all dumbfounded. After all, for pirates like them who don't steal or rob, this might be the only chance in their lifetime to make a lot of money. As a result, they missed the gold because they were a step late, and suddenly felt that their life had lost its meaning.
The only thing that comforted them was that they caught up with a grand banquet that was held throughout the Sky Island and attended by all the residents of Angel Island and the Shandians, representing the ceasefire and the beginning of a peaceful era.
At the banquet, everyone was toasting, laughing, and enjoying themselves.
At some point, Nami blatantly found Kira, her clothes slightly exposed, her beautiful eyes twinkling, and began to use her beauty to seduce: "Brother Kira, can you give us some of the gold?"
Haha...you are dreaming!
Kira raised his head slightly to show respect, swallowed calmly, and then refused righteously: "I'm sorry, the education I received does not allow me to do this!"
