Bai Baihai, Shantora, found a nice place as a temporary office in Youyuko, the former site of the Sandia clan.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Yuyuko took a look at the situation on Angel Island and let out a long sigh of relief.
Different from the plot of Luffy saving Angel Island, Yuyuko should have peacefully resolved the war problem between Sandians and Angel Islanders, but it also left more troubles because of this.
Among them are the places of residence of both parties, long-standing hatred, etc.
Among them, the most troublesome thing for Yuyuko was that there were more people applying for duel than expected. However, it also reflects the depth of the hatred accumulated between the two sides over the past hundreds of years.
Regarding the duel, Yuyuko could only say that she was powerless. After all, the purpose of the duel was to resolve conflicts without expanding the conflict as much as possible, and most people applied for a life-and-death situation, which directly resulted in no rule restrictions at all. In a word, if you have any means, just do it and it will be done.
Thanks to this, Shantora's busiest business during this period was neither reconstruction nor cleaning the battlefield, but digging graveyards.
Fortunately, after a week, the duelists seemed to think better of it, the number of people slowly dropped, and the two sides no longer had the situation where their eyes would spit fire when they met. On the contrary, both sides seemed to be a little timid. From time to time, someone would raise their hand to say hello or something.
Of course, this is also beneficial. At least the people of Sandia see that the people on Angel Island are human beings and not evil spirits. The people on Angel Island also find that most people in Sandia have very straightforward personalities but are also a bit arrogant. In the end, some people even hugged each other and called themselves brothers after the duel. Youyouzi's scalp was numb when she saw it, and she said that Jin Yong was really not lying.
Seeing that Shantora was almost stable, Yuyouzi called for the Sandia clan leader and Gan Erfu.
The two old men now respect Yuyuko much more than they did at the beginning. If they just regarded her as a tool before, then now they truly agree with Yuyuko.
"God!" they both called in unison.
Youyouzi twitched her mouth, "I told you not to call me that, it sounds so embarrassing!"
Although she is a two-dimensional person, Yuyouzi does not have the tendency to suffer from chuunibyou. It is a person's business to show off any way she wants, but it is really embarrassing to open and close her mouth in such a public place. no.
Youyouzi thought, maybe this is how the Bone King feels... But the Bone King has a forced calming system, and he...
Cover your face...
The two of them reacted to Yuyuko's reminder. They looked at each other and smiled, Yuyuko's eyes softened even more, "Okay, Captain."
Youyouzi nodded with satisfaction, "That's right~ It sounds comfortable to me, captain. Of course, in fact, it's not impossible for you to call me eldest sister..."
Two people:…
"Ahem, okay, let's get down to business. I asked you to come here today because I have something to say."
As soon as they said they had something serious to do, the two of them became more serious and said, "You tell me."
Yuyuko nodded without hiding it, "That's right. I think things on the island are almost on track now. You and Sister Kona can handle the rest of the matter together. I'm also going to go back to Qinghai to handle it." Something happened."
Gan Erfu frowned slightly, "Are you too anxious?"
Yuyouzi waved her hand, "Don't worry. Sisters Kona and Sister Keya can solve the rest of the matter perfectly. In fact, I'm just pointing in the direction. In reality, Sister Kona and the others are more familiar with you. You have been advised of this by me.”
"But……"
Youyouzi glared, "No buts, no buts, shut up, I can't hear anything. Don't listen, don't listen, you bastard is chanting sutras!" If you don't agree, I will cry here today.
Gan Erfu and the Sandia clan leader were speechless. They had seen beautiful people, but never seen such beautiful people. They could be so confident even if they didn't want to work.
Helplessly, since Yuyouzi had already mentioned this, the two of them had no choice but to agree, "...Okay."
"That's right~" As soon as the two agreed, Youyouzi immediately beamed.
The two sighed helplessly, "Captain, is there anything else you want to say? If not, we will go out first."
Yuyouzi raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a fox-like smile, "Hey, don't you want to know where the Lamp of Shantora is?"
Sure enough, just as Yuyuko expected, the two of them stopped immediately after hearing Shantora's Lamp.
The two said in unison, "You know?"
After getting along with each other for this period of time, it can be said that the patriarch of Sandia and Gan Erfu have become close friends. Except for some things that must not be said, even if they are said, the Lamp of Shantora is actually what the people of Angel Island heard 400 years ago. Naturally, the matter of the God's Movement was not concealed. Not only was it not concealed, the Sandia chief also laughed at the Angel Islanders for their lack of knowledge.
The Lamp of Shantora is actually a very huge golden bell. When the bell rings, the sound can be heard clearly even from an extremely long distance. After arriving at Sky Island, due to the special environment of Sky Island, the bells became more melodious and reverberating, which became a revelation from God in the ears of the people on Angel Island.
Youyuko shook her head slightly, "I don't know." "But I have a general direction."
The two looked surprised. You know, in fact, the Sandians no longer hoped to recapture Shandorla from a hundred or two hundred years ago. After all, the angel combatants have always been stronger than the Sandians. But on the other hand, , the population of Angel Island has always far exceeded that of the Sandians.
In fact, it is not surprising. The friendship between Rolando and Calgara originated from the plague that was prevalent among the Sandians. Rolando cured the plague in Sandians, and Rolando gained the friendship of Sandians. However, in order to prevent the plague from spreading in Sandia, Rolando cut down the ancient trees that the Sandians regarded as the souls of their ancestors. To put it simply, it means digging up all the ancestral graves of the Sandians. And this was the original misunderstanding between Rolando and Calgara.
Because of the plague, the population of the Sandians had reached a precarious level. Before they could recover much, the sky-high sea currents sent the Sandians and more than half of Shantora directly to the White Sea. This is not difficult to explain why the Sandians were driven out of Shantora. In fact, almost everyone died.
Hundreds of years of war followed, and the Sandian population never recovered much.
Nearly two hundred years ago, the Sandians also understood that there was no point in continuing like this, so they changed their goals and put aside the task of retaking Shandorla. Instead, they searched for the Lantern of Shandorla. At first, it was a large-scale battle, and then It was found that so many people were not needed, so elite soldiers were sent every time.
Also because of the transformation of the Sandians, over time, the main task of the priests and gods of the Island of Gods was only to protect the Island from being messed around by the Sandians.
But even so, the Sandians have been searching for nearly two hundred years and still have not found where the Lamp of Shantora is. Some people have even begun to question whether the Lamp of Shantora exists.
That's why the two of them were so surprised when Yuyouzi said she knew the direction.
Why do you know something that the Sandians have been searching for for hundreds of years without any clues?
Yuyuko was very satisfied with the surprised expressions of the two people. If the two people's expressions were calm, she would even consider waiting. After all, they weren't surprised that Yuyuko didn't have the pleasure of pretending~
The Sandia clan leader knelt down on one knee without saying a word and was so excited, "Please be sure to tell me!"
Youyouzi nodded, feeling happy. Time travelers, time travelers, isn’t it this kind of foresight that time travelers want to enjoy?
However, Yuyouzi was not in a hurry, but started her analysis slowly, "Actually, you have been searching in the wrong direction for hundreds of years~"
"???" The Sandia clan leader blinked and looked confused, "What do you mean?"
Yuyuko grabbed a piece of fruit and took a bite. "Let me ask you, Shantora was washed up by the current in the sky, right?"
The two nodded, "According to the records, this is indeed the case."
Yuyouzi asked again, "If I guessed correctly, most of the houses of you Sandians were destroyed at that time."
This time the two hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
"Do you know? Objects have weight. The heavier the object, the greater the inertia it will have after being hit. The golden clock is theoretically the heaviest thing in Sandia's residence. So theoretically Generally speaking, when the island with the heaviest mass stopped due to the disappearance of the inertial force, the inertia of the Golden Bell should not have been exhausted." "And Gan Erfo, didn't you Angel Island people say that? In the legend, God's revelation is the sound of the ring. The sound that can be heard throughout the Baihai Sea cannot come from the Baihai Sea, right?" "So..."
"so?"
Yuyuko looked full of hatred and said, "Why don't you understand? Even if you break up Shantora, you will never find the Golden Bell, because the Golden Bell is not on the island of Shantora at all, but in Bishantora." Higher in the sky, heaven, do you understand? Heaven!!"
After hearing Youyouzi's words, the Sandia clan chief stayed where he was, and for a moment he suddenly realized. "Yes, why didn't I think of it! Island clouds are essentially the same as clouds. There are island clouds in the White Sea below, and there are island clouds in the White Sea here. So it makes no sense that there would be no island clouds higher up. And if the Golden Bell happens to set Once you reach an island in the sky, everything will make sense."
Gan Erfu also showed a bitter smile, "Yes, we Angel Island people have been looking for so long but still haven't found it. It turns out that we are all looking in the wrong direction. Our ancestors have all focused on the sudden appearance of Shantora. We never thought that what we were looking for might not be above Shantora at all."
The head of the Sandia clan looked disdainful, "Tsk, to put it nicely, besides the Lamp of Shantora, don't you covet 'Bath'?"
"Uh..." Gan Erfu froze and could only scratch his head in embarrassment, "Hehe, hehe, it's over, it's over. Let's not bring up our old things again, okay?"
"snort!"
After giving instructions to the two of them, Yuyouzi always relaxed completely.
In fact, you can probably find the golden bell and other things as long as you wander around in the sky a few more times, and the transportation thing will be even simpler. Qishi is very experienced. But Yuyuko didn't do that.
There are two reasons.
The first one is that it would make more sense to leave it to the Angel Islanders and Sandians to find. Shouldn't they look for something that both parties have been looking for for hundreds of years together? Moreover, this will also allow both parties to further eliminate barriers during the search process, so that they can live together more harmoniously in the future.
As for the second reason...well...okay. Yuyouzi admitted that this was just a simple desire to be lazy.
"Sa~" Youyouzi stretched, "Now that things are done, it's time to prepare to return to Qinghai!! The Supreme Saint is coming back soon!!"
…
The first section of the Grand Line, Alabasta
Dorothea was now wearing a gauze robe and a woven sun hat, looking a bit like she was on vacation at the beach.
But the real situation is that the weather is too hot and there is no way...
Not only was it the scorching sun, but the surrounding area was almost entirely desolate desert. At first glance, it seems that there are many dead trees around, dry yellow weeds can be seen in some places, and fish bones half-buried in the sand can be seen in some low places.
Maybe it was an oasis more than ten years ago, but times have changed, and it may only receive a little rain occasionally. And this may be the reason why those dead trees and grass can still stick to this desert.
Dorothea had been walking for three days in such an environment, and she had almost run out of fresh water and food.
However, she was quite lucky. Dorothea had already seen the sky-blue sea, which meant that she had passed through the driest area, and there should be a town not far ahead.
Dorothea could already feel the human scent.
Smiling, Dorothea took out the water from your backpack...
Limali is a port town in southwest Alabasta. Depending on the terrain, it has become one of the few places in Alabasta with abundant rainfall. Thanks to this excellent condition, Limali's agricultural and commercial development has been very good.
Of course, it should have become the hardest hit area by pirates after the Great Pirate Age began.
Because of the port and favorable agricultural conditions, pirates would always come to harass this place. It was okay at first, but as the waves of pirates iterated one after another, more ferocious pirates came to the Grand Line, and this also led to The population here has been declining and the economy is gradually declining.
"But everything has finally turned around in the past two years. Because of Mr. Crocodile's protection, there have been a lot fewer pirates attacking here!"
In the tavern, a man held his glass high and praised loudly, "Thank you Mr. Crocodile!"
Others echoed "Thanks Mr. Crocodile!"
After saying this, everyone laughed.
Among the crowd, Dorothea lowered the brim of her hat and sat at the bar with her legs crossed. I ordered a glass of vodka and drank it slowly.
Dorothea waited until the crowds became noisy before she asked the boss.
He gently pushed a hundred-dollar Bailey's bill in front of the boss and said, "Boss, who are they talking about Mr. Crocodile?"
The boss accepted Bailey very naturally, and then was a little surprised: "Don't you know?"
"I only know that there is a king named Crocodile."
"Yes, that's him."
Dorothea picked up the wine glass and swirled the drink, "It's true~ But I heard that he is a ferocious pirate~"
"Cruel?" The boss was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, "I'm not particularly sure about this. Maybe he was before, but that's not important to us now."
"Oh, what do you say?"
"Because, without him, there might not be many people in the town of Limali, and I wouldn't be able to talk to you here." The boss reached out and put a glass of beer from the barrel behind his back and drank.
"From what you said, it should be someone who traveled here." "It's a bit uncomfortable to say this. Alabasta has been attacked by various pirates one after another since the beginning of the Great Pirate Age. But it's okay. "The Neferutari royal family is really good. They immediately mobilized a large number of guards to station at various ports." "But even this good times did not last long. With the emergence of more and more powerful pirates and those who are more powerful, The guards couldn't resist the appearance of brutal pirates. Of course, we also know that the royal family has tried their best, but the pirates are too rampant."
"But there was a turning point here a year ago, that is, the current King Shichibukai Crocodile came to us. Not only did he not rob us, but he helped us repel pirate attacks again and again."
"So I don't care what he was like before, it's just that now he saved me, he saved Limali."
As he spoke, the boss raised his glass and said, "Here's to Mr. Crocodile!"
The crowd in the tavern suddenly responded with "Here's to Mr. Crocodile!"
But at this moment, the door of the tavern was kicked open, and a pirate captain carrying a big knife walked in. He has a beard and looks very strong. Behind him were dozens and dozens of pirates holding various weapons.
"I heard someone talking about Crocodile? Come on, tell me where he is. I, the Black Lion Dalek, am here to kill Crocodile, the pirate scum who works as a dog for the World Government!"
