Pirate: I'm just slacking off, do you really think I'm a noob?

All the God's Guards looked on with wide eyes, although deep down they were extremely reluctant to give up the road to the holy land.

But now, it was their gods who gave them orders.

God himself made way for the Shandia people, and as God's guards, they had no choice but to follow God's decision.

Amidst the unwilling looks, the God's Guards made way for a path leading to the giant vines.

Kloningim held his head high and chest puffed out, not staying here for too long, so as not to irritate the Guards of God.

He only paused when passing Ganfor, but left without saying anything.

The Shandia people following behind him didn't say much.

Following their leader, they walked silently into the depths of the island. After all the Shandiye people had passed through the defense line of the God's Guard, Ganfor picked up his head. God, I don't understand why we let these barbarians enter the holy land. "

“God, do you have any new plans?”

The captain of the God's Guards finally couldn't bear the doubts in his heart anymore and asked his God.

Ganfor retracted his gaze towards the Shandians, looked at the captain of the guards whom he respected very much, and said earnestly:

They are going to do something great.

The legacy of more than 400 years, the will of Kalgara, the answer to the lamp of Shandora

I'm not as brave as Kloningim, this guy is much braver than me."

Ganfor shook his head, wondering if he would have the courage to ring the Lamp of Shandora if he were not the god of Sky Island but the leader of the Shandia people.

On Arpaado Island, there seemed to be some figures climbing up the huge vines."

The fastest figure among them had already approached the top of the vine.

Finally, a big hand firmly grasped the top edge of the vine, and then a strong figure crawled out from under the vine.

At the top of the giant vine, the legendary Chandora Lamp is located here.

After four hundred years of rain and wind, this huge golden bell has not suffered any wear and tear. It has been staying here quietly since it came to Sky Island from Gaya Island.

The Chandora Lamp, which exists as a sacrificial instrument, has giant golden pillars with a diameter of more than eight meters standing on both sides.

The Lantern of Shandora is the title of the historical text. According to the records of the residents of Sky Island and the Shandians, when it sounded for the first time on Sky Island, it marked the beginning of the war between the residents of Sky Island and the Shandians.

Another rumor that has been passed down to this day is that when the lamp of Shandora sounds again, everything will return to peace.

"Shall we ring it, chief?"

The Shandian warriors climbed to the top of the vines one after another."

They were the first Shandians to come to the Lantern of Shandor in four hundred years, since their ancestors had failed and left the island of Arpaado.

"Um."

Kloningim's figure seemed particularly small under the huge lamp of Shandora, looking at the Shandia warriors behind him with complicated expressions.

He said in a deep voice:

"Everyone is familiar with the rumors about the Lantern of Shandora. To the residents of Sky Island, it is a signal to declare war on us."

"But for us, it's a commitment to Nolando and a continuation of the wishes of Calgara."

"The war started four hundred years ago, year after year, generation after generation. Both us and the residents of Sky Island are bleeding."

I am tired of this life. I will ring the lamp of Shandora. I will bear all the hatred of the past four hundred years, but I can end the war in my generation. "

'As for the next generation, they may merge with the residents of Sky Island through running-in.'

Boom!Boom!Boom!

On Angel Island, Raleigh and Enelu, who had collected a large amount of gold in Shandora, have returned to the warship.

This time their mission has basically been accomplished.

The trip to Sky Island has actually achieved Rolly's goal. The gains from both Enel himself and the Ark Maxim are enough for him to digest for some time.

More importantly, Raleigh needs to go to the Grand Line to be awarded medals, and then he can cruise freely on the Grand Line.

Raleigh wanted to be like Karp, finding a target and keeping capturing it.

Although the Ark Maxim is already the most advanced product of the Moon People, Raleigh still wants to show the design drawings to Vegapunk. With his intelligence, he can definitely optimize the Ark Maxim.

Especially in terms of weapons, Raleigh felt that the weapons of Ark Maxim were not powerful enough.

The small Ark Maxim that Enel is currently riding on also needs to be strengthened.

"Hurry up and move the supplies, we have to leave here."

The officer on the warship shouted out the order from Raleigh, and the strong navy soldiers in the harbor,

Each person carried several boxes of supplies and walked towards the ship.

Raleigh held a detailed chart of the sky island in his hand, carefully studying how to return to the headquarters as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, a very beautiful bell sound resounded throughout the entire Angel Island. Just a few bell sounds gave people a feeling of inner peace.

From Arpaio to Angel Island and beyond, the melodious bells could be heard on all the islands in the Kingdom of God.

"Is this the Lamp of Shandora?"

“The song of Arpaiado Island!”

'Oh my god, I thought the rumors my mother told me when I was a child were fake!

"Could it be that the war will end in our generation?!"

'That's great. I don't have to worry anymore.'

The navy soldiers looked at the angel vendors dancing around them with puzzled expressions.

Raleigh closed his eyes and carefully listened to the bells ringing in the Kingdom of God. Then he opened his eyes and looked at the top of the giant vines of Arpaiado on the Island of God.

"The Chandora lantern that symbolizes peace?

In the cabin, Tuttle, who was lying on the bed resting out of fatigue, jumped out of the bed immediately when he heard the bell ringing, ran to the deck, and looked in the direction of Arpaio with tears in his eyes.

This is the sound of the bell of the Lamp of Shandora recorded by our ancestors. Yes, it must be its sound. "

Ancestor Norlando, I finally found the place you have been everywhere. This is Shandora, the land of gold, where you once stayed. "

In the sea of ​​1497 of the Sea Circle Calendar, all forces maintained restraint on the surface, but the undercurrents under the water became increasingly turbulent. It was under such a situation that Raleigh and his party, who had sailed for a month and a half from Sky Island, arrived at the headquarters of the Navy - Marinford.

At the port, Lieutenant General Borsalino came to greet them, still with a very wretched expression and a lazy temperament.

"Rawley, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Raleigh asked, raising an eyebrow;

Are you waiting for me to come to the headquarters for general promotion, or are you waiting for me to come to the headquarters to help you with work.

After being exposed by Raleigh, Borsalino continued without blushing or beating his heart:

You are my dear brother. I am very happy that you have come to the headquarters for promotion. I am even happier that you can join me in catching pirates.

In response to Borsalino's words, Raleigh just laughed it off.

I haven't seen Borsalino for a long time, and when we met we still bickered with each other like little kids.

"Okay, I brought you some precious tea. You can ask Gion for it later. I will go to the Marshal's office to report first."

After a brief chat with Borsalino, Raleigh handed over the task of arranging the soldiers to Borsalino and left alone.

The Admiral's Office is located at the top of the tallest building in the Navy Headquarters.

Boom boom boom.

Rowley knocked gently on the office door.

"Enter."

A very firm voice came from the office.

Raleigh opened the office door!

There is no one else on this side,

Only Admiral Sora was holding the document and about to sign it.

After seeing that it was Luo Li, Kong laughed loudly, put down the document in his hand and pointed:

"We asked you to come to our headquarters for promotion, but you also went to Sky Island on the way. I heard that you even resolved the four-hundred-year war between the residents of Sky Island and the Shandians."

"What's going on? Tell me."

Raleigh looked at Sora with embarrassment, this was not something that was honorable.

Because this has nothing to do with the navy's duties.

Raleigh scratched his head and said:

"Marshal Kong, actually this matter has nothing to do with me. At that time, the god of Sky Island asked me to help pass a message to the Shandian people and give me a few boxes of gold. I thought it was just a message, so I agreed."

Later, it was just as I thought. I just passed a few words to the Shandia people and that was it. But this incident really had nothing to do with the peace talks between them. They insisted on blaming me. "

Marshal Kong was a little amused. He didn't expect that Luo Li would act so wildly outside. In front of him, he was like a good boy who shirked his responsibilities.

"Okay, put away your tricks. Although this matter has nothing to do with our navy, it has been done. There is no need to cover it up."

Rollie looked around with his eyes darting around. After he felt that there was no place where he could be overheard, he took out a box of beautifully packaged cigars from his arms and walked forward:

Marshal Kong, when I was on Sky Island, the Angels gave me a box of their specialty cigars. You happen to be the master of cigar quality control, so why don't we try some?"

The air marshal glanced at the cigar box in Raleigh's hand and couldn't help laughing.

It would be strange if this thing was produced in Sky Island.

As for cigars, all four seas produce various famous cigars. Among them, there is a very famous cigar in the North Sea. This cigar is not circulated to the outside world at all, and is only supplied to the world's nobles and government officials.

Although Kong didn't smoke this kind of cigar very often, he had seen pigs run even if he hadn't eaten pork. He had smoked a few when dealing with the world's nobles.

So I recognized it at first glance.

Moreover, the box of cigars that Raleigh took was brand new, and even the outer packaging had not been opened, which meant that Raleigh had brought it specially.

Sora found himself appreciating Raleigh more and more.

He is capable, has good vision, and knows how to flatter. Although he has great ambitions, he is currently conscientiously fulfilling his naval duties.

Such a person, as long as he does not die, will definitely be able to climb to a high position in the navy."

Frankly speaking, Kong thought that even Sengoku was not as good as Raleigh in some aspects. At least Sengoku would not give him such expensive cigars.

It’s a pity that Raleigh is too young and has no outstanding military achievements.

Pirates like Bondiwald are not considered difficult characters in the eyes of truly powerful people. At least Sengoku and Garp have several such pirates.

Sora took the high-end cigar that Raleigh handed over, opened the box, took out one and put it in his mouth.

Raleigh quickly lit a match and lit one end of the cigar.

'Wow, this cigar tastes really good.'

Sora expressed his great appreciation for the gift that Raleigh gave him.

It's good that you like it, Marshal. I have a lot of cigars like this in storage.

Luo Li quickly said with a well-behaved face,

Sora nodded with great satisfaction:

I wish you could be as motivated as me at work."

"During the time when you were sent out to fight, although the names of your subordinates were always written on the battle records, I asked them and they all said that it was because of your command that they achieved so many results."

'You may have your own considerations, but this department still hopes that you can seriously practice the justice of the navy.'

Whether it was the East China Sea where you served, or the North China Sea where you later governed, during your tenure, the number of pirates decreased significantly, and the number of criminal incidents decreased significantly. This is the most obvious data.

'Therefore, after unanimous discussion and research by the senior admirals of this headquarters, it is decided that you will be awarded the rank of vice admiral of this headquarters.'

When Luo Li heard this, he stood up happily, saluted the Aerial Master in front of him earnestly, and said:

Master Kong Yuan, I am very grateful for your trust in me.
