Chapter 255 Awaken, Golden Eyes
This snake can talk!?
Bazel was greatly shocked. In his memory, although this snake was intelligent, it wasn't capable of speaking!
Chopper can talk because he ate the People-People Fruit, Nora—
and many more.
Let go, and the sound you "heard" disappears.
When the snake scales were pressed on, the sound reappeared.
"Can you understand me?" Bazel asked.
Loki, standing to the side, was taken aback: "Big brother, are you alright? Giants are people too, how could they not understand you?"
"I'm not talking to you."
After replying to Loki in a moment, Bazel looked at Nora, the Lord of the Sky, who was pressing against him and frantically inhaling.
"Can you understand me?"
"If you can understand, stick out your forked tongue."
Nora seemed to be thinking about something when she saw the human hand pressed against her mouth.
A few minutes later, a snake tongue even larger than that of the Bazar man gently rested on the man's shoulder.
Strange human, can you hear me?
It actually works!?
Bazel was unsure whether this was his own special ability or the power of the Yamata no Orochi.
Is it like Roger, who listened to the voice of all things?
But----
Bazel crouched down and touched the grass and stones.
No feedback.
He reached out to Nora again.
Am I just imagining things? But this human really smells so good!
Seeing Nora shove her breath against his arm again, Bazel glanced at his arm.
A few translucent scales were faintly visible on the back of my hand.
"Loki, try to see if you can hear it talking."
Bazel held down the agitated Nora and gestured for Loki to place his hand on Nora.
That despicable fisherman!
I will absolutely not let this liar get away with this!
"Nothing happened. Can this snake talk?"
Loki released his grip and looked at the hissing snake with a puzzled expression.
"No, it should be the power of Yamata no Orochi."
This is the seventh ability I've awakened.
Bazel is now unsure whether this ability can only be used to communicate with snakes, or whether it can be used to communicate with other animals as well.
"Nora, your name is Nora, right?"
The giant python displayed a human-like stunned expression, its forked tongue, which had been constantly flicking in and out, now dangling halfway out.
"Can you really understand that?!"
After thinking for a moment, Bazel simply transformed into a giant eight-headed serpent.
"Oooooo!!"
Wow, this is a huge snake! No wonder I find your scent pleasant. What kind of snake are you?
Nora climbed onto the body of the Yamata no Orochi and looked back and forth at Bazel's eight snake heads, each with a different expression.
Without giving Bazel a chance to speak, Nora rested her head on the large head in the very center.
Ah~ I'm so sleepy, I'll take a nap now~
Hey big guy, wait a minute. Let's talk after I wake up. By the way, my name is Nora, and I'm the grandson of the snake god Cassie.
Nora: ZZzzz...
Bazel was stunned.
Loki, standing to the side, covered his mouth and stifled a laugh.
Although he didn't know what had happened, judging from what his older brother had just said, he must have gained some strange new ability.
Maybe it's about communicating with this snake.
"Laugh if you want to."
After transforming back into human form and carefully placing Nora's head down, Bazel looked at Loki.
"I'm so sorry, big brother, hahaha!!"
"I can't hold back anymore! What did this snake tell you?"
Bazel ignored Loki and turned to look at the dark forest.
"I said I would come back, God, Gan Fall."
As Gan Fall emerged from the woods with his guards, his gaze toward Bazel was extremely complex.
"You came back this time to take away that gold, right?"
"The Golden City is one part, but besides it, I also want to take with me the mixed-blood descendants of the Lunaria race."
Bazel's eyes widened, and the aura emanating from his body bypassed Gan Fall, stunning the guards behind him.
"Shandians, I'm taking those Shandians with me; they're the companions I've chosen."
Lunarians?
Gan Fall secretly memorized the name.
"Take that gold if you want; it's not worth as much as a handful of gold to us."
"As for those Shandians—"
"I'd be overjoyed if you could take them away. With their departure, the centuries-long war between our two races can finally come to an end."
It seemed that the burst of domineering energy had just woken Nora up.
The enormous Lord of the Sky coiled its body and frequently flicked its tongue in and out towards Gan Fall's direction.
"Don't be nervous, Nora."
Bazel put his hand on Nora.
"With me here, he wouldn't dare do anything to you."
Seeing the python relax its guard, Gan Fall's eyes widened.
He recognized the origin of the giant serpent; it was a descendant of the serpent god Kasi!
"How can you speak with the descendants of the god Kassi!?"
"Do you possess some strange ability like Roger?!"
Like Roger?
Bazel narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is none of your business, Gan Fall."
"I told you this when I left last time: I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it."
"You'll regret your shortsightedness, Nora. Let's go to the golden city of Shandora."
Once the man jumped onto her head and sat cross-legged, Nora ignored Gan Fall and swam into the woods.
"Loki, the bear, is gone."
"After we get the Golden City, we still need to go to Kumogakure."
"Coming right now, bro!" Loki, carrying his hammer, followed Nora eagerly.
Before leaving, the bear glanced at Gan Fall.
"Stay away from us. Neither Bazel nor Loki are people you can handle."
"Don't make a fool of yourself. On the way here, I heard a lot from Bazel about the Sky Island. Actually, you are the robbers."
"This island of the gods, Apayado, is a small island that was washed ashore by upwelling currents four hundred years ago."
"The Shandian tribes used to live here, but you Sky Islanders drove them out of their homes."
"Since you're in the wrong, stop acting like victims."
"That's just disgusting."
After leaving those words, the bear, having packed his bags, brushed past Gan Fall.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last time we meet."
"A short-sighted sky island deity."
As he watched the strange group leave, Gan Fall's expression grew increasingly complex.
After so much time had passed, he had already gathered information about the beasts from the pirate ships that had unexpectedly arrived at Sky Island.
That man, the man who had given her a chance, seemed to be a very trustworthy man.
"I just want the war to end, that's enough."
"As for the future—"
"Let fate decide."
【Golden City Chandra】
"Is all of this gold!?"
Loki stood at the entrance to Shandora, pointing towards the golden city, his voice trembling.
"Are we going to live in a place like this from now on!?"
After receiving Bazel's approval, Loki dropped his hammer and ran into the golden city, touching and looking around.
Exclamations of "Skua~" and "Super cool" could be heard from time to time.
"Bazaar, that's the Poneglyph you mentioned, right?"
The bear points to the black stone tablet beneath the golden bell.
Bazel nodded in agreement: "The stele that records the ancient weapon Neptune, I don't know the specific contents."
"However, for the World Government, this kind of thing is a forbidden item that cannot appear on the sea."
The bear pondered for a moment: "Forbidden items? Is it because they record the truth?"
"—These things are just a microcosm of history."
Bringing the bear and Nora to the Poneglyph, Bazel reached out and touched the cold, black stone.
"What I value is not just this stone monument, but also this golden city."
"The existence of Takamagahara will be the starting point for provoking the Holy Land Mary Geoise."
"Once I dismount the deity, it will be time for us to descend the mountain."
"This place~"
Bazel turned around and looked at the golden city.
"We will be witnesses to our journey."
Several snake spirits emerged from the trouser leg and quickly burrowed into the gold.
"Awaken, Golden Eyes."
Amid Loki's exclamation, the gold within Shandora seemed to gain self-awareness.
It quickly liquefied and deformed, eventually condensing in the sky above Bazel's head.
It formed a giant golden pupil.
In the very center of the golden sphere, a distinctive black streak stands out.
"Nora,"
Bazel reached out and placed his hand on Nora's scales.
"Would you like to leave with me?"
"You're tired of this place, aren't you? How about I take you to a bigger place to play?"
Play?"
Nora leaned down again, pressing her nostrils against Bazel's and inhaling deeply.
It doesn't matter, as long as the giant snake is around, Nora doesn't care where she goes~
It smells so good♪~
Seeing Nora's addicted state, Bazel was both amused and exasperated.
He raised his arm and sniffed it.
Then, somewhat insecurely, she looked at the bear.
"Bear, do I smell strange?"
The bear scratched its head: "I can't smell it. Maybe it's a special scent that only Nora can smell?"
That's right, that's right!
"It's a scent that only I can smell!" Nora replied.
"Big brother, this eyeball—wait!! It's alive!?"
Loki stood guard, hammer in both hands.
"It's my ability. Land is everywhere; there's no need to bother taking it with me."
A thought flashed through Bazeir's mind.
The giant golden eye floating behind them suddenly liquefied and deformed, and a platform made of gold slowly descended.
"You guys go up through the passage, I'll take Nora and fly up first to take a look."
Transforming into the Yamata no Orochi, and allowing Nora to coil around his body, Bazel drove the fiery clouds toward the golden eyeball that was filled with countless gold.
Loki wanted to fly like Bazel, but the bear held him back.
"We'll take the passageway up; Bazel probably wants to test the stability of the Golden Eye."
Loki, who was transforming, retracted his transformation and stepped onto the golden platform with Bear, curiously tapping the central pillar of the control platform.
"It's really spectacular, Bear. Sometimes I really want to pry open Big Brother's head and see what's growing inside."
"If I had this ability, I definitely wouldn't have thought of developing it in this direction."
"It really is, it really is—"
Loki thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any adjectives.
"Spectacular," Xiong added.
"Yes! It's spectacular!!"
Loki clenched his left fist and tapped it against his right palm.
"Big Brother's abilities are all spectacular, whether it's the Time of the Demon or the Shadow of Orochi!"
"It's like being a god; I've never seen anyone develop a Devil Fruit to this extent!"
Gods?
The bear looked at the Yamata no Orochi flying through the sky with Nora on its back, a strange glint in its eyes.
"Perhaps, but I prefer Bazel's human touch."
"Unlike everyone I've met—well, you can't say that."
"Both Lady Nelly and Bazel are very humane, but Bazel is more so."
"Actually, I don't know how to describe it, but—"
"Loki, you know what I mean, right?"
Loki nodded, seemingly understanding, "Human kindness—"
"I have a general idea. Anyway, there's something about my older brother that really attracts me. I guess that's what you mean by human warmth."
