Chapter 72: The Bells Resounding Across the Sea
At the very moment that Mu Chong was about to ring the Golden Bell, things were quite lively on Jaya Island beneath the Sky Island.
On the main street of Magic Valley Town on Jaya Island, the entire street was a mess, with signs of a fight everywhere. Houses had collapsed, the ground was shattered, and what was even more chilling was that the surrounding area was filled with crystal-clear, cold ice blocks.
At this moment, two figures were confronting each other on the shattered street, with several severely injured men lying nearby.
"Aokiji, are you going to be this aggressive? I haven't provoked you, so why do you have to arrest me? Is your Navy going to war with the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
Diamanti, holding a longsword in one hand and clutching a bleeding wound on her chest with the other, fiercely addressed Aokiji before her.
"Doflamingo's subordinate Diamante, why aren't you staying in the New World? What are you doing in the first half of the Grand Line?"
At this moment, Aokiji's right hand was completely covered with a layer of ice, and white steam kept rising from his mouth as he spoke. Ice crystals continued to extend outward from his feet.
"What I do here is none of your business. This is a family matter of the Don Quixote family. What? Does the navy want to interfere too?"
Diamanti kept his eyes fixed on Aokiji, ready to retaliate at any moment. It was best to be cautious when facing an Admiral.
"Huh? Family matters? Whew..."
Blub Blub... Blub Blub...
Just as Aokiji was pondering, the Den Den Mushi in Diamante's arms suddenly rang. Diamante slowly took out the Den Den Mushi, and a slightly ferocious face wearing sunglasses appeared.
"Fufufufufufu! Admiral Aokiji, what are you doing to my subordinates?"
A defiant voice came from the Den Den Mushi, its tone carrying an air of domineering power.
"Huh? Doflamingo? Your subordinates aren't in the New World, but instead they've come to the first half of the Grand Line to disturb my meal. Doflamingo, how do you manage to control your subordinates?"
The moment the Den Den Mushi made its sound, Aokiji slowly withdrew his Ice-Ice Fruit power.
"Fufufufufu! Did I disturb the Admiral's meal? I'm so sorry, Aokiji. I heard that the Celestial Dragons are collecting Celestial Gold again. Why is Admiral Aokiji so leisurely?"
The Den Den Mushi, its face clad in sunglasses, revealed a sinister smile as it spoke maliciously to Aokiji.
"Oh, you're quite well-informed, aren't you, Tenyasha? Don't forget, you're a Shichibukai now!"
A warning glint flashed in Aokiji's eyes, and his tone became even more forceful.
"Fufufufufu! So, Admiral Aokiji, are you planning to start a war between the Navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
call!
As the Den Den Mushi's ringing ended, the entire street suddenly fell silent. A gust of wind blew by, and everyone felt a chill.
Just then, a huge bell, seemingly from the heavens, rang out.
when!
when!
when!
Then, three powerful chimes rang out once more, echoing across the skies above Jaya Island. The sound was incredibly penetrating, carrying the weight of history, and resounding throughout the vast sea.
At that moment, everyone on Jaya Island looked up at the sky in shock, listening to the long, drawn-out chime, their faces displaying a variety of expressions.
Only after the bell from the sky rang nine times did the surrounding world fall silent again, but only for a moment, before the entire island of Jaya erupted in excitement.
"Is that a bell? A bell from the sky???"
Why are bells ringing in the sky?
Just as everyone was wondering, a triumphant shout broke the noisy discussion in Magic Valley Town.
"Hahahaha! A hero, a true hero! He kept his promise and rang the Golden Bell! It's real, everything is real! My ancestor wasn't a big talker; everything he said was true. The Golden Land truly exists! Hahahaha!"
Lying on the streets of Mogu Town, Montblanc Coolidge, ignoring his bleeding wounds, covered his eyes with his large hand, tears streaming down his face. A grown man was crying like a child.
"Ah? It's the hero! That's right, a few days ago the hero rode the surging ocean current and flew into the sky!"
"Is it true? Sky Islands really exist, and the Golden Land really exists too!"
"As expected of a chivalrous hero, hahaha! Cheers to the chivalrous hero!"
As Montblanc Coolidge's voice faded, a powerful clamor erupted once more in the streets of Mordor. Those who knew the truth flocked to the tavern to toast the hero's victory, while those unaware joined in the excitement.
For a moment, only Aokiji and Diamante's group remained on the street, locked in a confrontation.
"Fufufufufufu! A chivalrous hero, Aokiji? Shall we end this battle here?"
Just then, a powerful voice came through the Den Den Mushi again.
"Ah! A chivalrous hero? I really want to see what kind of man he is!"
Aokiji, who had been looking up at the sky, turned his gaze to Diamante upon hearing the voice on the Den Den Mushi.
"Doflamingo, send your men back to the New World and make sure they never appear again in the first half of the Grand Line. You Shichibukai, remember to deal with the pirates of the New World first!"
"Fufufufufufu! Did you hear that, Diamanti? Go home!"
Click!
After saying those words, the Den Den Mushi's defiant demeanor vanished instantly, and it fell silent.
"Let's go!"
Diamanti glanced at Aokiji, then at the two people lying in the distance, and without further hesitation, turned and left Mogu Town.
"Hey! A chivalrous knight? Should we wait for him here? I'm really curious! Ah! Never mind!"
Aokiji watched Diamanti and her group leave, then looked up at the sky again, muttered a few words to himself, and turned to leave Mock Town. Since Sengoku had already ordered the arrest of the heroes to be cancelled, there was no need for further trouble.
After Aokiji left, only two figures lying on the stone pavement remained on the entire street.
"Cough cough cough! Hey, hey, hey, Chestnut Head, stop crying, think of a way to survive first!"
The speaker was Bellamy the hyena. His injuries were far more severe than those of Montblanc Coolidge beside him; he was covered in bleeding wounds, his face was bruised and battered, and blood was dripping from his mouth as he spoke.
"Hahahaha! He did it, Bellamy! He really proved the existence of the Golden City and cleared up everyone's misunderstanding of my ancestors. I'm so happy!"
Montblanc Coulicate was still immersed in that immense joy, completely forgetting the pain of his wounds.
"Ahem... Hey, Chestnut Head..."
At this moment, Bellamy used all his strength to interrupt his opponent's attack, because saving him could truly mean death. Diamante's attack on him was truly aimed at killing; if it weren't for Aokiji's appearance, Bellamy would have really died.
"Ah! I'm so sorry, Bellamy, I got too excited! I'll call someone for help right away!"
Realizing what had happened, Montblanc Coolidge, ignoring his own pain, quickly got up to help Bellamy. His injuries weren't serious; Bellamy had simply invited him to the tavern for drinks, and Diamanti, mistaking him for an accomplice, had beaten him up along with everyone else.
"By the way, Bellamy, I think you should consider the advice the hero gave you before he left! I believe the hero is a man you can trust!"
As Montblanc Coolidge finished speaking, the two figures gradually disappeared into the streets of Mock Valley.
The Sky Island 10,000 Meters Above the Grounds, the Former Site of Golden Village
"Hey, Slade, can you really carry all that gold? Put it down, put it down, the Liberty's hull can't bear that much weight!"
When Locas saw Slad use his Devil Fruit power to lift an entire building made of gold, he immediately panicked. This was the start-up capital for their Sky Island construction!
"Haha! Don't be so stingy, Locas. There's gold everywhere here, more than enough for you to use. I'm just taking this small piece. Look, it's not even as much as the captain took!"
Slad's face revealed a cunning expression, and as he spoke, he pointed to Mu Chong in the distance.
"Ah!!! Captain, what are you doing? Are you moving the entire Golden City?"
Locas turned his head and saw a scene that shocked him for the entire day.
All the gold in the entire Golden Land was continuously converging towards the ever-growing golden sphere in the sky. If this continued, the Golden Land would cease to exist.
"Ha ha ha ha…………"
