Pirates: Going out to sea? Cultivate to the Mahayana stage first

It is like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, silently telling stories of the past years.

"Is this the big clock tower that the Shandia people have been searching for?" Annuo turned his head to look at Laqi beside him and asked curiously.

At this moment, Laqi looked focused and pious. She closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, as if she was praying silently in her heart.

Hearing An Nuo's question, Laqi slowly opened her eyes and a smile as bright as a spring flower bloomed on her face.

"That's right, Master! Thank you for bringing me here, so that I can see the legendary golden bell with my own eyes in my lifetime."

As she spoke, Laqi took a few steps forward happily and approached Anno.

Then, unexpectedly, she placed a gentle kiss on the side of his face.

This sudden and bold move made many women present stunned for a moment, and then strange expressions appeared on their faces.

"Cough cough..."

An Nuo coughed twice to hide his slightly embarrassed expression.

Laqi actually kissed him in front of everyone!

He was keenly aware of the strange looks given to him by Nami and the others, and he couldn't help feeling flustered.

So he quickly changed the subject and pointed to something not far away and said, "I have to say, this golden clock is really stunningly beautiful!"

Looking in the direction of his finger, I saw an extremely huge golden bell standing there.

The base of the golden bell was made of pure gold, shining with dazzling light; the bracket supporting it was also golden yellow, as if it was made of the finest gold.

The huge bell hanging above it is dozens of meters high, like a towering golden mountain.

If you look closely, you can find that the surface of the clock is carved with extremely exquisite patterns. These patterns are like mysterious talismans or ancient totems, giving people a sense of solemnity.

Surrounding the big bell are several lifelike golden sculptures of Nannan birds.

Unfortunately, one of the statues in one direction was missing for some reason. It must have been damaged and fell down during its flight into the sky.

In addition, there are four golden columns for decoration around the bell tower.

They stand upright, like loyal guards protecting this golden bell.

It’s a pity that one of them has broken and fallen to the ground.

Even so, looking at the broken golden column alone, its length is almost the same as the mast of the Orange Cabin, and its diameter is even much thicker than the mast.

The force required to ring such a huge golden bell is undoubtedly extremely amazing.

It will take some time before the long-silent golden bell is rung again.

In Anno's memory, Luffy used his huge rubber arm to slam Eneel hard onto the golden bell.

The sound of the bell echoes, and the lingering sound lasts for a long time.

If conditions permit, Annuo thought, he might also want to try to ring the golden bell.

"Brother Anno, how about... we move this huge, glittering golden clock to our Orange Cottage?"

Nami's eyes were fixed on the amazing golden bell, and her beautiful eyes instantly showed sparkling red hearts, as if greedy light could burst out from them. At this moment, her mind was full of how to take the bell for herself and bring it back to their ship.

However, she soon realized that with the high density of gold, once this huge bell was placed on the Orange Cabin, it would most likely exceed the carrying capacity of the ship, causing the hull to be unable to support itself and sink.

At this moment, An Nuo turned to look at Laqi standing beside him, and asked hesitantly: "Well... I actually thought so too, but this is a treasure that the Shandia clan regards as sacred after all!"

Hearing this, Laqi shook her head slightly and replied firmly: "Master, you don't have to worry about this. I no longer care about those things that happened so long ago. Now, my only wish is to successfully drive away that hateful Enelu."

Seeing this, An Nuo's face suddenly showed a hint of excitement, and he enthusiastically suggested: "In this case, since we are already here, why don't we ring the bell together?"

As soon as this tempting suggestion was uttered, it immediately resonated with everyone present.

Yes, facing this solemn and majestic bell, who can resist the curiosity and impulse in their heart?

What's more, before this, everyone had heard from Laqi about how beautiful the sound of the golden bell was, so naturally they couldn't wait to hear it with their own ears.

"But it seems that there is no such object here!" After looking around, Hina said, "Normally, isn't there a piece of wood placed next to the big bell in the temple to hit the bell body?"

At this time, Gion stared at the inside of the golden bell in front of him and responded: "This kind of bell often needs to be struck by shaking the bell tongue inside or shaking the entire bell body. As for the specific method to be used, you need to see where the rope is tied."

Then, Gion's eyes stopped on the golden chains on both sides of the big bell. He saw that these chains were tightly connected to the gorgeous golden bell frame at the top.

"As I see it, all we need to do is pull these two chains to ring the golden bell."

Gion said this lightly, but in fact, the thickness of the two chains was beyond imagination, even thicker than Anno's waist!

For ordinary people, let alone relying on chains to move this extremely heavy golden bell, even just wanting to pull those chains would probably be an extremely difficult task.

However, this only applies to ordinary people. People with special skills like Annuo will naturally not be troubled by this!

Gion seemed to have a particularly strong interest in the sound of the golden bell, so she and Anno climbed up the golden steps on both sides at the same time, each carefully placing one of the thick chains firmly on her broad shoulders and holding it tightly with her strong arms.

After everything was ready, the two looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and then began to exert all their strength at the same time.

After centuries of silence, the mysterious and ancient golden bell began to swing slowly.

The bell tongue inside it hits the bell wall violently like a lively elf, making a clear, pleasant and deafening sound.

The loud sound seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and reach the top of the sky, making the entire sky tremble.

Chapter 197 Enelu's Actions

It was evening, and the setting sun was like a huge fireball, gradually sinking towards the western horizon.

The afterglow dyed the sky into a colorful orange-red color, which was as beautiful as a poem or a painting.

When the melodious bell sounds and the charming sunset complement each other, a beautiful and intoxicating picture appears before your eyes.

Even a naval commander like Gion, who had been through hundreds of battles, had been fighting pirates for years and had always been calm, couldn't help but feel a little dazed at this moment.

Almost at the same moment, people on the entire Sky Island clearly heard this shocking sound.

They all stopped what they were doing, looked up at the same time, and looked towards where Enel's temple was.

This temple is located in the center of Gaya Island, which is now revered as the "Holy Land" by the world. Not far away, you can see a green vine towering into the sky.

The temple itself is carefully constructed from extremely solid stone blocks and various snow-white clouds.

Its surface is covered with a thick layer of gold. Whenever night falls and the bright moonlight shines on it, it reflects a dazzling and brilliant light.

Even though they are thousands of meters away, people can still easily see the glittering light emanating from here.

There is no doubt that this is the magnificent palace belonging to the legendary God of Sky Island.

Normally, even many respected priests were not qualified to approach this place at will. Only a very small number of powerful people known as the "Four Great Priests" were qualified to set foot in this sacred place.

Just recently, in the center of the spacious hall of this magnificent and majestic temple, there was a luxurious throne made of pure gold.

Enel was now barefoot, lying on the golden throne in an extremely lazy and casual posture.

His right hand tightly grasped a bright red apple, which he would bring to his mouth from time to time, and then chew it in big mouthfuls with a crisp sound.

Every bite you take will make a mouth-watering "crunch" sound.

However, although Enel seemed relaxed and contented, his mind was actually not on tasting the delicious apple at all.

At this moment, his mind was constantly thinking about the mysterious man from Qinghai whom he met today.

That person actually possessed the strength to compete with him. Not only that, but there was also a powerful aura emanating from him that made him feel a little fearful.

More importantly, it was this guy of unknown origin who came to the rescue at the critical moment and successfully rescued the Shandia clan from his hands.

For the arrogant and conceited Eneel, anyone who dares to hinder his plans is his sworn enemy.

In the temple, everyone's eyes were involuntarily drawn to the floor of the hall below the stage.

There lay a man in a disheveled state, with his arms and legs spread out.

The man's eyes were rolled back and he looked lifeless, while his originally strong and broad chest was covered with huge, shocking, hideous scars, as if he had suffered some extremely brutal and violent attack.

"I never thought that Shura would fall into such a terrible trap. By the time we found him, he had already been eaten by the ferocious monsters that roamed nearby, leaving only half of his body."

"In my opinion, this must have been done by the Shandia clan. Lord Enel, please give the order! Let me lead the priest guards to charge directly into their village and capture the culprit named Wepa alive!"

The person who said this was an extremely fat man, as round as a balloon.

He gasped and shouted in a hoarse voice, as if he was filled with endless hatred towards the Shandia clan.

Floating above this empty island is a fairyland-like city in the sky.

This is the area ruled by the god-like Eneel.

Under his command, he has four capable subordinates.

The first person that caught my eye was the man known as the Air Guard Captain Gedaz.

He is tall and mighty, like an unshakable mountain.

His uniqueness lies in his spider-leg-like hairstyle, which is unforgettable. In addition, he is also the priest who controls the "Trial of the Swamp" with a survival rate of only 50%, and symbolizes the "joy" in human emotions.

He is good at using the two magical powers of "Wind Spray Shell" and "Swamp Cloud", and often gives the enemy a fatal blow unexpectedly in battle.

Next came the person who had just spoken, a fat man with a loud voice. He was Daigo, nicknamed Mori.

This priest is in charge of the "Trial of the Ball" where the survival rate is only 10%.

The man next to him wearing sunglasses and with a cold face is named Ohm.

He also has another nickname - Sky Island Rancher.

I saw that there were circles of strange lines on his right arm, and in his hand was tightly grasped a long sword made of condensed clouds. The name of the sword was Iron Whip.

Whenever he drew his sword, his movements were graceful and neat. He held the blade in his left hand and the blade shell in his right hand, and his posture was like a dancing swordsman.

Moreover, he has a pair of snow-white wings on his back, allowing him to move freely in the air.

In the Sky Island God's Forest, he succeeded the Iron Trial with a survival rate of 0%, becoming an insurmountable peak in the hearts of countless challengers.

Among these four priests, the ending of one was quite tragic.

He is Shura, nicknamed the Sky Knight.

Because he was chasing An Nuo and his men, he was abandoned by An Nuo in a forest full of dangers.

In the end, poor Shura was unfortunately attacked by a ferocious monster and was brutally killed, ending his short and bumpy life.

Although he was once one of the four majestic gods, he could not escape the coming of misfortune in the face of cruel reality.

Regarding Shura's tragic death, the priests did not seem to show much sadness on the surface. They just felt that they had been seriously provoked, and a surge of uncontrollable anger surged in their hearts.
