Chapter 64

Kalgara followed the others' gaze, staring at the statue in a daze.

Everything he saw now proved that his ancestor, Mont Blanc Noland, was no "Liar"!

Guilt for his past doubts washed over him, followed immediately by a surge of pride!

His ancestor was no liar; he was a powerhouse who had conquered the Grand Line four times!

An elder stepped out from the crowd. Wyper respectfully called him "Chief" and briefly explained Kalgara's identity.

The Chief examined the gold ring, then bowed to Kalgara.

"Descendant of the one who once saved the Shandians, I apologize once more on behalf of the Shandians for our past recklessness!"

The other villagers followed suit and bowed.

They really were a tribe that dared to act and take responsibility.

Kalgara did not dodge; this was an apology he accepted on behalf of his ancestor Noland—it was an apology he deserved.

—Even if it was 400 years late.

Kalgara helped the Chief up and said, "I came this time to clear my ancestor's name! He..."

The story of "Liar Noland" came out, making the Chief feel even more guilty.

"It was us who harmed Noland! If we hadn't rashly driven him away back then, he would have returned home fully laden, and the subsequent events would never have happened!"

As for the gold?

Whether in the past or now, for the Shandian tribe, who had always lived by hunting, gold was too soft to even make weapons from; it could only be used as jewelry or building material.

Who would care about giving a savior some "building material"?

"There's no need to dwell on that; those are just the grievances of our ancestors," Kalgara interrupted. "Now, I just want to record the footage and ring the Golden Bell to prove my ancestor was no liar!"

Wyper then explained Luffy's "inhuman" nature to the Chief.

"There really are people who don't fear divine punishment?" The Chief was incredulous.

Luffy, being the straightforward guy he was, pointed at the sky and cursed, "Enel, you big idiot!"

"Rumble—"

"Rumble—"

"Rumble—"

This time, a "nine-fold lightning strike" came down directly. The splashing electricity even hit Usopp and the others nearby, but it was all absorbed by the Mk-5 suits as energy, leaving only some paint scratched on the surface.

Seeing that not only Luffy but everyone else was completely unharmed,

Wyper was shocked once again!

So many people weren't afraid of divine punishment?

The Chief and the other Shandian villagers widened their eyes even further!

There really were people who didn't fear being struck by lightning?

And a whole group of them?

Excitement followed immediately!

Their hope to counterattack Enel and reclaim their land had arrived!

"Good!" the Chief said heroically. "All warriors, take up your weapons! Rise for our homeland! Fight for the descendant of Noland! Hu!"

"Hu!"

"Hu!"

"Hu!"

The deafening roar echoed through the sky, as if it had angered the gods; massive amounts of lightning flashed in the heavens.

Clearly,

Enel had heard the commotion here and was preparing to descend divine punishment to slaughter these people who dared to "rebel"!

However...

[Disperse!]

The clouds in the sky dissipated directly; lightning without a carrier was nothing to fear.

Lord Lord Sima Di stood with his arms crossed, watching the impassioned Shandian warriors. How could he let anyone disturb them at a time like this?

The Shandians were truly a village of soldiers; villagers who were farming a second ago picked up weapons and became warriors the next, stepping on boots made of "Wind Dials" and leaping onto the White Sea to charge toward Upper Yard!

The Straw Hat Pirates were all flying in the air—Luffy was flying with Zoro and Sanji wrapped around his left and right arms.

Watching the Shandian warriors speeding through the clouds below, they couldn't help but feel a sense of surrealism.

Once upon a time,

how could they have imagined that one day they would be flying ten thousand meters in the air, declaring war on a so-called "God" alongside warriors gliding through the clouds?

"My blood is starting to boil!" Zoro said excitedly.

"A God? We'll kick him down!" Sanji said firmly.

"Hahaha—here we come!" Luffy laughed.

"Yo-ho—I am the Sky Warrior, Usopp!" Usopp spread his arms wide.

"For the gold, charge!" Facing Facing Nami's eyes sparkled with gold.

Lord Lord Sima Di looked at the excited group and smiled.

"This... is the adventure I wanted!"

Upper Yard island, everyone landed once again.

The difference was,

This time, it wasn't just the main force landing, but also 500 Shandian warriors—that's right! 500 warriors!

And...

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the iconic scene "500 Shandian Warriors!", obtained sign-in reward "Kalgara's Observation Haki"! ]

——————————

"Kalgara's Observation Haki": As the Great Warrior of the Shandians, Kalgara was a natural awakener of Observation Haki. Even without excessive training later on, he still reached an intermediate level!

——————————

As expected!

Inviting Wyper was the right choice!

The improvement of Observation Haki had always troubled Lord Lord Sima Di. After all, it was the power of "listening"; having strong mental energy only allowed him to control it better, but couldn't enhance the Haki itself.

It could only be strengthened through day-after-day of grinding training.

So he was very satisfied with this reward.

Lord Lord Sima Di expanded his Observation Haki, barely managing to cover the island—the Shandians called it the "Skull's Right Eye," but in reality, it was only half the size of the complete Jaya island.

Within his Observation Haki,

Lord Lord Sima Di saw a large force waiting in battle formation ahead, guessing it was the Divine Soldiers and the four Priests.

Among them,

in the very back, sat a person on a throne. He had two drums on his shoulders, earlobes as long as a Maitreya Buddha, and was playing with a golden staff.

Who else could it be but Enel?

It seemed he was relying on his own strength to crush them directly, rather than like in the original story...

Oh, right!

This time, Lord Lord Sima Di and the others had arrived directly on the Going Merry, instead of being lured into starting from the entrance of the "Trial of God," so they didn't need to pass through each trial one by one.

Lord Lord Sima Di pondered whether he should let the Shandians and the Divine Soldiers clash head-on?

That would inevitably lead to heavy casualties.

In the end,

the source of the disaster on the Sky Island was just Enel; the Priests might be his fanatical followers, but most of the Divine Soldiers were forced to submit.
