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

After all, a once prosperous country like O'Hara, simply because of its in-depth research on this stone, ended up causing extreme panic and anger from the World Government, which eventually issued an extremely cruel demon-killing order and sent a powerful naval headquarters to carry out the destruction.

Thinking of this, Gion couldn't help but shudder.

You know, even a country as large and full of scholars as O'Hara's would suffer disastrous consequences by delving into the original text of history.

Based on her understanding of An Nuo, if An Nuo knew that this stone was the historical text in the legend, he would probably be very interested in it. Once the truth was revealed, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, in response to Gion's questioning, Anno had no intention of hiding anything.

He nodded without hesitation and answered frankly: "Yes, this stone is the historical text. And as far as I know, there is only one person in the world who can interpret it."

The historical text is an ancient language that has almost disappeared and is little known.

What’s even more terrifying is that anyone who dares to explore the historical information carried in these mysterious texts will be regarded as committing an unforgivable capital crime!

Although Gion was a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters and held a high position, when she saw the historical text with her own eyes, the irrepressible curiosity in her heart surged like a tide.

In theory, the exploration and research of history should not be a crime.

However, the world government has issued such strict laws to prohibit people from touching this past, so how thrilling will the truth hidden in it be?

Gion couldn't help but take a deep breath. She knew very well that the historical text in front of her was like the legendary Pandora's box and must not be opened easily.

Otherwise, a catastrophic disaster is likely to await them.

Gion stared at Annuo beside him with a sharp gaze, and warned him seriously: "You must promise me that you will never study this extremely dangerous thing! I don't know how you know about the historical text, but your understanding of it ends here, and you must not continue to dig deeper."

Hearing what Gion said, Annuo showed an expression of unbearable pain on his face. He looked at Gion eagerly and begged, "Teacher, I'm really too curious! Can you let me take a look quietly by myself?"

Faced with Anno's request, Gion's rationality was like an alarm bell ringing continuously, warning her to decisively refuse it.

However, when she stared at An Nuo's face, which looked a little pale due to discomfort, the words of rejection that had already come to her lips seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and she could not say them smoothly.

Finally, Gion sighed helplessly and said softly: "If you are really curious about this matter, then... you can take a photo, or make a copy and keep it, and study it secretly by yourself, but no matter what, you must not let anyone else know about this!"

Hearing Gion's confession, An Nuo nodded excitedly and responded confidently: "Teacher, don't worry, I promise I won't leak it out!"

As he said this, he actually took the initiative to reach out his hand and gently pressed Gion's palm against his chest. At the moment their skin touched, Gion clearly felt that Anno's heart in his chest was beating like a happy little deer, each time stronger than the last.

The strong heartbeat rhythm was transmitted through the palm of his hand, making Gion feel dizzy.

After all, apart from such scenes that occasionally appeared in dreams, this seemed to be the first time they had such intimate physical contact in real life.

Just as Gion was immersed in this wonderful feeling, an abrupt voice suddenly came from behind her - "Hey, Gion sister, Annu brother-in-law, what are you two doing here?"

It turned out to be Nami's voice.

This sudden disturbance was like a bolt from the blue, bringing Gion back to his senses.

She quickly pulled her hand back like a frightened rabbit and explained in a panic, "No, it's nothing!"

At this moment, Gion's face was flushed and her eyes were flickering. She looked like a little girl who had just done something wrong and was feeling uneasy.

Then, she pretended to be calm and looked at Nami, and asked with a hint of anger: "Why did you come here? Shouldn't you still be ringing the bell over there?"

Nami covered her mouth tightly with her hands, trying to hold back her laughter, fearing that she would laugh out loud if she wasn't careful. Her big, lively eyes flashed with a cunning light, and she looked at An Nuo with a teasing expression, as if silently saying, "Oh, am I here at the wrong time? Did I disturb you?"

Chapter 201 I Really Did Nothing

Facing Nami's teasing, An Nuo gave a slightly speechless look in response, as if complaining: "Since you knew this, you still came here on purpose!"

However, Nami didn't care. She stuck out her tongue at him playfully, and then began to look around curiously like a happy little bird.

Suddenly, Nami's eyes were drawn to the golden base near the main text of the history. She saw some words engraved there. Although there were not many words, these mysterious symbols still aroused her great interest.

Her voice suddenly became joyful and excited: "Hey, why are there words here? Who left them here?"

Hearing this, An Nuo frowned and thought carefully.

After a while, he nodded thoughtfully and slowly explained: "As far as I know, this seems to be the handwriting dictated by the Pirate King Roger and engraved by Kozuki Oden himself. The general meaning is 'I came to this place and want to take this text to the end of the world'..."

According to the development of the story, this passage is actually conveying a message to the Shandia people who have been guarding the historical text - the mission they have been adhering to for many years has now been successfully completed.

Unfortunately, the Shandia people could not understand this kind of text at all, so naturally they knew nothing about its meaning.

Thinking of this, An Nuo couldn't help but shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Alas, this is really an uncivilized behavior! It's just like those guys who scribble graffiti and carve words like 'Pirate Gol D. Roger was here' in scenic spots. It's really uncivilized!"

Gion, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask with a surprised look on his face, "You actually know this too?"

You know, even she, a Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, knows nothing about these mysterious words! Moreover, it seems that not many people know about the secret that the Pirate King Gol D. Roger once landed on Sky Island.

An Nuo nodded seriously and explained slowly, "I was on a long journey before and I happened to meet an old man who had experienced a lot of hardships. I heard this unknown story from him."

Hearing this, Gion nodded subconsciously to show his understanding, but soon frowned again, thinking to himself: How could I meet such an old man who knows the inside story during my journey? Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Could it be that the old man was a member of the pirate group back then? Thinking of this, Gion couldn't help but doubt what Anno said.

Since Gion was right next to him, it was not convenient for Anno to just put away this precious historical text.

So he quickly took out his camera, carefully took photos and rubbings of the historical text, and made careful records in order to preserve the historical text intact.

To be honest, Anno was not very interested in the historical text itself. But he knew that his next target, Nico Robin, was very interested in it.

Therefore, it would be perfect if you could use this information as a key tool to improve the other party's favorability.

At the same time, other people who wanted to ring the bell also tried it.

Of course, those lucky ones who are strong enough to pull the golden chain will naturally have a great time, while those who are not strong enough to pull the chain can only hang on it helplessly, which at least adds a little bit of pitiful sense of participation.

"Let's go!"

An Nuo looked up at the sky. The sun had already set and the night was gradually covering the earth. He suggested, "We have to find a place to rest and recuperate. As soon as the sun rises tomorrow morning, we will set out to look for the next sky island."

After all, there is no point in wandering around on this empty island late at night. Moreover, after a day of exploration, today's harvest is already quite rich. Everyone's interest has been fully satisfied. It's time to let our tired bodies rest.

At this time, Gion quietly walked to Annuo's side and reminded him in a low voice: "I vaguely felt that someone seemed to be spying on us in secret. We must be extra careful tonight. In my opinion, it is very likely that it is the god on this sky island who is said to control the thunder fruit - Enelu. This person's strength should not be underestimated, so don't take it lightly."

However, in the face of Gion's concerns and warnings, Anno seemed unconcerned and responded nonchalantly: "Don't worry, teacher, he's just a mere Enel. I really don't take him seriously."

As the saying goes, "It's easier to go up the mountain than to go down." However, for Annuo and his friends, there is no such problem.

He just waved his hand calmly, and the Orange Cottage, which had been quietly docked below, instantly took off into the air and flew in front of everyone as quickly as a light bird.

Then, An Nuo used his spiritual power again, like an invisible whirlwind sweeping past, and in the blink of an eye, he brought everyone safely onto the boat.

As soon as they boarded the ship, everyone took out some gold bars from their storage bags as trophies of the expedition, and the rest were handed over to Annuo for safekeeping.

Nami and Kerla, the most greedy ones, each held a pile of gold in their arms that was even taller than themselves, and took difficult and shaky steps forward.

Before returning, considering the safety issues, it would be more appropriate to temporarily hand over these priceless gold bars to Annuo for safekeeping.

Nami took out the storage bag that was already bulging with gold with reluctance, and then held the mountain-like pile of gold tightly with both hands.

Seeing this, An Nuo couldn't help but tease, "I've never seen you guys exert so much strength when I let you guys exercise normally!"

However, Nami was not ashamed of this, but proud of it. She raised her chin proudly and responded: "Humph, if you can use this gold to make a pair of dumbbells tomorrow and tell me that they will belong to me as long as I can successfully lift them, then you can see if I have the ability to do it!"

After hearing these words, Annuo suddenly understood what was going on. That's what it was!

He thought to himself that normally those extremely heavy sandbags made it difficult for them to move, but once they carried the same weight of money, they could instantly become as brisk as the wind.

Even an elderly person, when faced with a mountain of money, would probably immediately become full of energy, and all ailments like headaches and back pains would disappear. Even when running, the adrenaline in the body would start to be secreted crazily and work at full capacity!

Just as Annuo and his companions were preparing to leave this coveted golden city with bags full of gold, they suddenly ran into a giant dancing python.

"Huh? Isn't this big snake dead?" Nami stared at the giant python in front of her with wide eyes and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Not long ago, when they were still sitting on the back of the express shrimp and rushing on their way, they suddenly encountered this terrifying snake. In a flash, Annuo raised his hand and electrocuted the snake, paralyzing it and making it unable to move.

"This is not the big snake we encountered before!"

An Nuo had sharp eyes and saw the clues at a glance. After careful observation, it turned out that the difference between this big snake and the previous one was the size.

You know, this sky island is a pristine and mysterious place, hiding countless monsters of huge sizes.

The snake that appeared in front of everyone was dancing happily with its huge body! It twisted in the forest wantonly, and it crushed a large flat area wherever it passed.

What is even more surprising is that the facial expressions of this giant snake are extremely rich and varied. Sometimes it cries bitterly, and sometimes it laughs through tears, as if it has the same delicate emotional world as humans.

"Could it be that this guy is Calgara's pet?"

An Nuo couldn't help but guess.

After all, there is an ancient legend circulating in the Shandia tribe: their ancestor Kalgara once had an extremely powerful snake as a pet.

At first everyone thought that the so-called pet was the famous Lord of the Sky, simply because the giant snake was so huge and shocking.

However, at this moment, looking at the huge snake in front of you, not only is its body larger, but its whole body exudes an old aura of having experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Laqi stared at the big snake in front of her and thought to herself, "It is said that snakes have long lifespans. Could this snake really live for more than four hundred years?"

"Just looking at its appearance, you can tell it's definitely not an ordinary snake! Look at its winding body, colorful scales, and extremely sharp fangs. Anyone can tell at a glance that this creature is different. I wonder how long it has lived. Maybe it's lived longer than all of us combined!"

An Nuo frowned and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

At this moment, the giant python seemed to have no interest in Annuo and the others, and didn't even glance at them.

It twisted its huge and sturdy body and crawled towards the huge bean vine that towered into the sky in the distance without hesitation. Everyone took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp - the length of this big snake was estimated to be more than 200 meters! Such an amazing size was really jaw-dropping.

At this point, Annuo and the others already understood that the mysterious giant snake must have been attracted by the melodious and crisp golden bell sound just now, so it hurriedly ran towards the place where the huge vine was.

After the Orange House had been flying steadily in the air for quite some time, suddenly, Laqi rushed to Annuo's side like a gust of wind and shouted nervously, "Master, please look down!"

Following the direction of Laqi's finger, Anno soon found a group of Shandians below who were in a miserable state and covered with wounds and bruises. Seeing this, he quickly controlled the Orange Cabin to slowly lower its flying altitude.

When the Shandians first saw the ship falling from the sky, they were all horrified and immediately took up a fighting stance as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Apparently, they mistook this for the vehicle used by Enel's gang of villains.

However, when their eyes fell on Laqi standing at the bow, their expressions relaxed a little and their tense nerves finally relaxed.

Anno carefully looked at the group of wounded Shandians in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "What's going on with you? Did you just go and have a fierce fight with Enel's men again?"

Not long ago, when Annuo took Laqi away, Wapa and his companions made it clear that they would never give up easily.

At this moment, Wappa, who was the most seriously injured, was being supported by his companions, but he said stubbornly: "I have no reason to escape at all!"

It was not difficult to judge from his firm tone that he must have experienced a fierce battle and finally won.

However, An Nuo couldn't help but frown when he saw this, and reminded him worriedly: "If you continue to run around in your current state, your wound will definitely get worse."

But Wapa was not grateful at all. He pushed away his companion who had been supporting him, endured the pain, and stood up shakily on his own. He said firmly: "No matter what, I want to see the legendary Chandora Lamp in person."

You know, the so-called Lamp of Chandora is actually the well-known Golden Bell.

Faced with Wapa's persistent request, Anno asked doubtfully: "Haven't you heard the bell?"

After all, judging from the magical effect produced by the golden bell, Annuo and his team had been striking it continuously for a long time, and the people on the entire Sky Island might have been listening to it for nearly an hour.
