Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

Such blatant mockery was something no one else on the Meteor could do besides Bartolomeo.

Seeing Bartolomeo burst into laughter, even the senior officials who had been trying to suppress their laughter couldn't help but laugh as well.

Of course, they wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of Zoro, otherwise they would be punished later and given extra training, which would be quite a hardship.

The girls did the same. They glanced at Bartolomeo, then at Zoro, who was already blushing, and all covered their mouths and chuckled.

Zoro's return has somewhat eased the somber atmosphere of the recently concluded battle.

"Hey, Zoro, how about I prescribe you some medicine to treat this? It can't go on like this forever."

"We finished here a long time ago, and we were all ready to set sail when you came back."

"Be careful you don't get abandoned by the captain next time, '033,' you might get lost here for the rest of your life."

"Being directionally challenged... it shouldn't be a terminal illness. I'll think of something later."

Law toyed with the cursed sword Kiku in his hand, a smirk playing on his lips, seemingly giving Zoro serious advice...

"Cockscomb haircut, Travis, I'm going to chop you all up!"

Touched on a sore spot and teased by the group, Zoro blushed, his eyes narrowed to the whites, and ignoring his exhaustion, he gritted his teeth and charged forward...

As almost exactly as everyone predicted, Zoro's battle with the four priests ended just as Crocodile and Enel began their attack.

With Zoro's current strength, how could the four priests possibly be a match for him using only the Battle Shell? They would be killed instantly, one strike at a time!

And for the rest of the time, he was actually searching for his way home... wine

In reality, the place the four high priests took him to wasn't far at all, not even outside the Sanctuary. Even so, this guy's absurdly terrible sense of direction still led him in other directions… (Furious)

Finally, thanks to the huge commotion Luo Feng made high in the sky, and by following the direction of the thunder and fire clouds, he finally managed to find his way back.

This innate talent for directions, bordering on idiocy, left Luo Feng speechless...

Sure enough, it's even more outrageous than what's shown on TV!

Ignoring the commotion, the senior officers carried Enel onto the Meteorite at Luo Feng's command.

Afterwards, they boarded the Ark Proverb and found many different kinds of seashells inside. In the end, they even disassembled a lot of the power seashells installed at the bottom of the Proverb.

These powered shells were essential for navigating the cloud seas of the Sky Island, and were later installed on the hull of the Meteor under Bartolomeo's command.

Bartolomeo, on the Meteorite, worked as a shipwright in addition to being a combatant.

This guy has always had his own methods for modifying and repairing ships, and his skill level is surprisingly high.

The giant 'Luffy' ship in One Piece was actually created by this guy.

Therefore, he naturally took over the vacancy on the Meteorite.

With the power shell installed, the Meteorite no longer needed constant control from Nochigo, allowing it to roam freely on this floating island.

After completing these preparations, the Meteorite activated its power shell, left the Sanctuary, and headed in another direction from the Sky Island.

That place is in the direction of the ancient capital of four hundred years ago, the Golden Village of Shangdola!

Clearly, Luo Feng was aiming for the gold, and of course, besides the gold, the history that was incredibly important to Robin was also in that direction.

On the Sky Island, there is also a piece of history, and it is of a high quality, belonging to one of the four historical landmarks!

Like the one belonging to the Alabasta royal family, it is one of the nine pieces of intelligence history, and it is said to contain clues about another ancient weapon—Poseidon, the sea god!

On the ship bound for Shandora, Luo Feng directly instructed Vivi to begin stripping Enel of his Devil Fruit.

There's no time to lose. The sooner Nami eats the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the sooner she can improve her strength and seafaring skills, which is especially important for the entire Godfall Pirates.

As for how the Dark Fruit strips other fruits, this also touched upon Luo Feng's blind spot in knowledge.

After all, the original Blackbeard transferred the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to himself on the spot. It is unknown whether he directly transferred the ability or, like the Seastone altar, first stripped the fruit and then ate it.

These are things that Vivi needs to discover for herself.

According to Luo Feng's conjecture, the Dark-Dark Fruit should be an evolved version of the Seastone Altar, and the method of stripping it should be similar, both involving fruit inheritance rather than the transfer of power from the user.

Moreover, the inheritance of the fruit is absolutely the most precise kind, hitting exactly where you point it, without the flaw of the Seastone Altar that would cause it to be lost during teleportation!

However, just in case, Luo Feng still arranged for a considerable variety of fruits inside the ship's cabin where the fruit was being harvested, in case anything went wrong.

After that, Vivi went in alone to begin stripping the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

The entire process of stripping the fruit did not last long, unlike the Seastone Altar, which often lasted one or two hours.

Just over ten minutes later, Weiwei's exclamation echoed through the ship's cabin...

Immediately afterwards, a flash of lightning illuminated the entire cabin!

Hearing the commotion inside, Luo Feng pushed open the door and went in first.

As soon as he entered the cabin, he was greeted by Vivi's surprised expression. In her hands, she was holding a blue fruit with the Devil Fruit's signature circular patterns and several small lightning bolt marks.

Clearly, the stripping of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was a success!

Meanwhile, Enel lay limply on the ground, devoid of any life force!

"Mr. Luo Feng, it's...it's a success!"

Vivi was overjoyed. This was her first attempt at 0.9, and she had thought it would be fraught with difficulties, making her extremely cautious. But she didn't expect to succeed so easily, with almost no effort!

As the energy of the Dark-Dark Fruit invaded her opponent's body, Vivi felt as if someone was guiding her in her mind, leading her step by step. In a daze, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit appeared before her eyes...

All of this was too mysterious for Weiwei to comprehend, so she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after regaining her senses.

"Well done, Vivi."

Luo Feng pinched her little face, then ruffled her long blue hair, making the little princess blush.

Then, Luo Feng took the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, took Weiwei's hand, and walked out of the ship's cabin.

"Little Nami, eat it! It wasn't for nothing that you waited so long; you've finally found the perfect fruit for you!"

Chapter 166 I hang a golden bell on my deck; whoever messes with me will be sent to their doom!

Luo Feng led Weiwei out of the cabin, and instantly, everyone on the ship focused their attention on the fruit in Luo Feng's hand!

"Success!"

"That's the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? It's amazing how quickly..."

"This Dark-Dark Fruit is truly terrifying; it can actually do something like this so easily!"

"hiss……"

A collective gasp filled the air aboard the Meteorite.

This was the first time Vivi had truly used the Dark-Dark Fruit's power. Before this, even Luo Feng was unsure and feared something might go wrong, so he made thorough preparations.

"Don't just stand there, Captain's arm is getting sore from holding it up."

Seeing Nami lost in thought, Noki laughed and teased her, then quickly snapped her out of her daze.

"Ah...? Okay..."

Distracted by Nochiko, Nami immediately snapped out of her daze.

There's no way around it, this is just too fantastical. Less than a year ago, a group of weak, even useless, fishmen were able to dominate them and enslave them for years.

But now, she and Nochi have both obtained such powerful Devil Fruits one after the other in their first year of high school. Especially after witnessing the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Nami feels like she's in a dream!

"Really? You want me to eat this, Brother Luo Feng...?"

Na08mei cautiously asked Luo Feng again to confirm.

Seeing this, Luo Feng found it somewhat amusing, knowing that the little girl had probably recalled those unbearable past events again, so he patiently reaffirmed, "That's right."

"No one is more suited to receive the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit than you. Take it, Nami."

"Once you eat it, you'll understand why I said that."

Upon hearing this, Nami let out a heavy sigh of relief, stepped forward, and accepted the Rumble-Rumble Fruit with both hands. She then said to Luo Feng, "Thank you, Brother Luo Feng."

"No matter what incredible abilities I acquire, they will all be your strength, Brother Luo Feng. As your navigator, I will take you wherever you want to go!"

For some reason, Nami this time no longer had the little girl demeanor she had before. Her words were not joking at all, and she spoke with particular seriousness.

Luo Feng smiled, neither confirming nor denying, but he naturally understood why she was acting this way.

Immediately, urged by everyone, Nami took a bite of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

One day later...

The Meteorite anchored in the sea of ​​clouds near Shandora.

It was completely silent here; not a single person could be seen, and even birds and beasts were hard to find.

No wonder. Ever since Enel came to Skypiea and completely ruled it, he naturally took over the golden city of Shandora, a city with a history of four hundred years. How could he let anyone else have a say in it?

Moreover, even if ordinary Sky Island inhabitants know that such a place exists, they don't know its location.

Luo Feng and the others found the coordinates of this place on the Ark Proverb and arrived here without any difficulty.

The members of the Godfall Pirates were stunned by the sight of the golden buildings scattered everywhere. Even those who weren't greedy couldn't resist the sight of so much treasure!

Even the buildings are made of gold; it's truly a sight to behold!

As for Nami, she seemed to have sensed this aura even before she arrived in Shandora...

Luo Feng's original intention was for her to stay on the ship and experience the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit she had just acquired, to establish a connection with it, and then disembark and act with the others after they were fully compatible.

But clearly, faced with such an astonishing golden city, she could no longer retain any rationality, and even Luo Feng could not restrain her.

Left with no other choice, he had to agree to let Nami come along...

Upon entering the Golden City, Nami went 'crazy'. As you can imagine, her physical skills, which were usually average, suddenly became incredibly fast because of the gold, allowing her to quickly move between the various golden buildings.

Finally, upon seeing the golden bell in the center of the Golden City, he used a technique similar to Moonwalk to climb directly onto the bell and held on tightly, refusing to let go no matter what...

This scene left Shenyun and his group dumbfounded, and even Luo Feng was shocked!

He never expected that one day Gold would be used as a buff. You know, Nami has never practiced a Marine martial art like Moonwalk!

After a while, Luo Feng, too lazy to care about Nami who was already running wild, instructed everyone to start transporting gold onto the Meteorite.

Meanwhile, Robin and Vivi separated from the main group and began searching for history.

Half a day passed, and the cabins of the Meteorite were now filled with gold of all sizes.

They couldn't possibly move the entire golden building onto the ship, but what's here is mostly gold building materials left over from the collapse of the golden building.
