No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

After grumbling and cursing for a while...

Within the Sky Island people, a figure adept at exploiting their discontent has emerged, inciting their emotions and prompting them to raise their spears in preparation for an attack.

This scene, which could be described as suicidal, was a terrifying sight that almost made Ganford's heart stop.

But he had no time to appease his own people.

It is commendable courage for the weak to draw their swords against the strong.

But it's not wise for an ant to bare its sharp fangs at an elephant.

Luo Hou slowly drew his sword from its sheath.

He didn't intend to kill anyone, but these squid people were just insatiable bastards.

"Slash the Waves~"

After softly uttering the name of the sword technique, Rahu unleashed a horizontal slash!

In an instant!

A blinding white light of swords swept out!

The flying slash, a technique unique to great sword masters, lightly swept past hundreds of rioting sky island soldiers!

In the blink of an eye, five or six hundred heads of sky islands, their blood still splattering and floating, rolled onto the ground with a thud.

Blood dripped continuously from the sword in Luo Hou's hand, highlighting his bloodthirsty sharpness.

"Who else wants to cause trouble now?"

"If you have any opinions, don't hold them in, just stand up and tell me!"

After wiping the blood off his longsword, Luo Hou looked indifferently at the surrounding crowd.

At this moment, countless people thronged the vast sky island area, yet not a single sound was uttered.

Everyone gasped, their mouths agape, and a few of the more timid ones collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Everyone could hardly believe what they were seeing.

They had no idea that there were such powerful humans in the world!

In an instant, they chopped off the heads of hundreds of their elite Sky Island soldiers!

Ganford was horrified and knelt down again.

"My lord... we Sky Island people are willing to accept mediation... from today onwards, Angel Island and Apayado will all belong to your command..."

"Please, spare my people..."

Ganford pleaded with Rahu in an extremely hoarse voice.

Rahu looked toward the Shandians.

The leader of the Shandians quickly expressed his opinion.

"We...are willing to accept..."

Compared to the Sky Island people, who still have a relatively large population, the Shandians have very few people left.

If a powerful being like Rahu were to dictate their opinions to their people, then the Shandians would be completely wiped out today.

"Hmm, very good, I'm glad you're aware of the situation~"

Luo Hou spoke calmly, showing no remorse whatsoever for killing hundreds of squid people.

"My lord...may we Shandians move back to our homeland, Apayado, today? The golden bell of our homeland has not rung for many years..."

The chieftain of the Shandians looked at Rahu with a pleading expression.

The Shandians fought and battled the Sky Islanders for over 400 years in order to reclaim their land and ring the golden bell left by their ancestors once again.

However, despite their countless clansmen struggling for hundreds of years, they still failed.

On the surface, the current Sky Island God, Ganful, appears to be working hard to promote harmonious coexistence between the two races.

But he knew perfectly well that Ganfort would never give up such a large piece of land as Apayado.

They were just trying to lure the Shandians out under the guise of harmonious coexistence.

Perhaps, under Ganford's leadership, they will have a chance to coexist peacefully.

But who can guarantee that the next Sky Island God won't wipe them out again after taking office?

The crocodile tears have already happened once, and the Shandians don't want to experience it again!

The only way to reclaim one's homeland is through military force!

Or perhaps they've found a new, suitable backer to rely on!

It is clear that this time, Rahu and his group represent the best opportunity for the Shandians to return to their homeland and ring the golden bell.

What you want to do is none of my business.

"However, before ringing the golden bell, I hope you can find this place."

Rahu took a storybook describing Skypiea from a female pirate, and then pointed to the altar on Birka Island mentioned in the book.

......

Chapter 50 Bika

Based on the information conveyed in the anime.

It was in this place that Enel ate the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit, then killed his enemy and destroyed Birka.

They were the last to arrive at Angel Island and claim to be gods.

"Bika...it should be on that small island to the southeast, right? I remember there was indeed an altar there, built by those despicable Sky Islanders who plundered our gold..."

The Shandian leader stared at the word "Bika" on the book, pondered for a few seconds, and then recalled the location of this region.

The entire Sky Island region is a special climate zone formed by Angel Island, Apayado, and various Sky Islands of different sizes within a radius of several hundred miles.

And this Bika was no exception; it was just a very inconspicuous little sky island. There probably weren't many sky islanders living on it anymore.

Under the specific guidance of the Shandian leader, Rahu immediately used the power of the Float-Float Fruit within him, controlling his body to fly rapidly in a southeast direction.

As for Kaido and his crew, after bringing the situation under control, they began to stroll around the unique drinks and local specialties of the Sky Island.

In order to improve their combat capabilities, many crew members purchased a large number of shellfish, such as impact shells and flame shells, which are extremely powerful weapons, directly from the shops on the Sky Island.

Of course, when this Flame Shell is mentioned, many people will bring up the criticisms of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Whether they're human or ghost, they can all set things on fire; in fact, you'd practically never find someone in the New World who doesn't know how to play with fire.

In short, even dogs wouldn't eat the Flaming Fruit.

...

On the other side, after flying at high speed in the air for about seven or eight minutes, a blurry golden building resembling a pyramid gradually appeared in Rahu's Observation Haki.

If nothing unexpected happens, this building should resemble the altar on Bika that the Shandian chieftain mentioned.

This altar is different from the other modern houses on the sky islands; it looks like a miniature pyramid.

However, this pyramid altar was made entirely of gold, and being exposed to the air for many years caused the gold to lose some of its original luster.

However, it gives it a sense of ancient solemnity and directness. The sky island pattern carved on this altar is also an extremely ancient pattern.

After identifying its target, Rahu quickly controlled its body and flew for a few seconds before landing on the soil of Bika.

At this moment, the Sky Island people living on the island also looked at Rahu with curious eyes.

Several Sky Islanders, acting as security guards, gripped their weapons tightly, keeping a watchful eye on any outsiders.

Just then, the sound of a baby crying came from inside the altar not far away, followed by the soothing sound of women singing a lullaby.

Ignoring the security personnel guarding the outside, Rahu strode directly into the interior of the altar.

What came into view was a woman from a sky island, who looked to be about forty or fifty years old and had wings growing from her back.

She was holding a baby who looked to be less than a year old, and was carefully comforting and soothing him.

Rahu took a closer look and immediately recognized the baby as Enel, the god who would destroy Birka in the future.

"Emma! Please stop protecting this damn freak! Look at his ears, they're not normal, they shouldn't have them!!!"

"That's right! This baby with long ears was brought here by people from Qinghai! He's not one of us from Sky Island at all!"

"Burn him! Burn him! Throw him into the fire of the altar and burn him!!!"

As the woman named Emma gently hummed a lullaby to soothe the baby, the men nearby could no longer bear the sight.

Enel's long ears and the fact that he didn't grow the wings that Sky Islanders were supposed to have meant that the traditionalists couldn't accept such a freak.

"Chieftain... Emma, ​​please, he's just a baby, not a monster... I want to take care of him..."

"I assure you, once he comes of age, I will personally expel him from Bica..."

"If we let go now, he'll definitely die out there..."

Upon hearing the words of the chieftain of Bika Island and the surrounding people, who insisted that she abandon Enel or throw him into the flames of the altar to be burned to death, Emma's tender maternal heart was instantly torn to pieces.

She wanted to plead with the clan leader and others.

"Leave this child to me."

Just as Emma was making her final effort, Rahu, who had appeared in front of the altar at some unknown time, spoke.

"He's from Qinghai, so I'll take him back to Qinghai."

Luo Hou looked at Emma, ​​who was kneeling on the ground, and spoke slowly.

Although Enel is just a baby, Rahu values ​​his talent highly.

Given Enel's talent and the methods he used to develop his Devil Fruit ability, if such a person were to appear later in the story, he would definitely be at the level of an Emperor.

"Who do you think you are? This guy is a freak; he should be thrown into the altar and burned at the stake!!!"

"When did it become your place to meddle in the affairs of our Bica Island? Or do you want to be thrown into the altar along with this long-eared freak?"
