Chapter 81
"It was a real waste to let you eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, such a powerful Logia fruit."
Then, Enel was hoisted up by King and tossed at Luo Xing's feet.
From Enel's high-profile, arrogant, and flashy entrance to him lying at Luo Xing's feet with a vacant gaze, not even a minute had passed.
Facing King, who had stepped into the threshold of Emperor-level, Enel was instantly defeated, as helpless as a small child.
He sat blankly on the ground, with only three questions in his mind:
Who am I?
Where am I?
What just happened?
Luo Xing looked with pity at Enel, who had fallen from the peak of life into the abyss of hell in an instant, took out a Seastone collar that had been finished not long ago, and fastened it around the latter's neck.
He patted Enel on the shoulder and consoled him:
"Life is always full of ups and downs; from now on, just follow me, your big brother."
Then, without caring whether Enel had come to his senses, he took his wife Yamato's little hand and said to King:
"Carry him along; let's go take a look at the legendary golden city of Shandora."
King carried Enel as if he were dragging a dog.
Watching the backs of Luo Xing and the others as they left, and watching Enel crawling on the ground, the young girl Conis and all the residents of the Sky Island were completely stunned.
It was unknown how much time had passed before someone swallowed hard and said uncertainly:
"The God... seems to have been defeated and captured?"
Slap!
A loud slap.
"Damn it, why did you hit me? That hurt like hell!"
"It hurts? That means we aren't dreaming; that bastard Enel was really defeated!"
"Hahaha! Enel was defeated! Enel was captured!!"
Cheers drifted freely across the Sky Island.
The residents of the Sky Island then knelt down in the direction Luo Xing and the others had left, kowtowing deeply:
"Great Savior God from Wano Country, thank you for saving the Sky Island!"
79. Making a fortune in the Golden City, the desperate Enel, Yamato's suspicion (Please subscribe)
Shandora is known as the Golden City, and it is said that the entire city was cast from gold.
It was originally part of Jaya Island in the sea below, but was washed up to the Sky Island by the Knock-Up Stream.
The hero of the Shandia, Mont Blanc Noland, failed to find the Golden City because of this and was executed after being branded a liar by the world.
Since Luo Xing had come to this Sky Island, and he needed a large amount of funds to manufacture various items, he might as well take this gold.
They arrived at Shandora along the way.
The golden city of the past had become dilapidated, and many precious items had been lost, but there was still plenty of glittering gold left.
In particular, the golden bell at the very top of the city and the two golden pillars supporting it remained intact.
Luo Xing smiled and said to King:
"Move it. Move all this gold to Wano Country."
Yamato pulled his sleeve and whispered:
"Husband, this gold belongs to the people of the Sky Island and is a historical relic; we shouldn't take it."
Yamato was perfect in every way, except that sometimes she was too kind, even a bit of a saint.
Luo Xing said with a stern face:
"We just did the Sky Island residents a huge favor by capturing their evil god; it's only right to take some compensation."
"As for it being a historical relic, that is exactly why we cannot leave this gold here. Otherwise, the world will never see it; wouldn't that just let the relic gather dust?"
Yamato was confused by Luo Xing's twisted logic.
It seemed to make sense, yet something felt wrong.
At this moment, a hoarse roar came from behind:
"Don't touch this gold, you bastards! This is the resource I, your God, use to reach the Infinite Vearth!"
The source of the roar was none other than Enel.
He was being carried by King and had been crawling on the ground just now, covered in dirt and looking utterly wretched.
Yet even so, he still called himself "your God," clearly failing to grasp his current situation.
Luo Xing looked at Enel with a smile and said:
"From now on, you must remember one thing: what is yours is mine, and what is mine is still mine."
Enel's eyes turned blood-red with rage, his face flushed purple, and he was about to roar.
But the collar around his neck tightened suddenly, and Enel could no longer make a sound.
The high-purity Seastone made him, a Devil Fruit user, collapse to the ground instantly, losing all his strength.
Luo Xing loosened the switch on the collar to make it a bit larger, ensuring Enel wouldn't suffocate to death, and said to King:
"This guy has always wanted to go to the moon and even built a golden ark powered by lightning. Go find the ark, melt down the gold on it, and bring it all back to Wano Country."
King accepted the order and left.
Enel, being carried away by King, had an expression of grief and despair, his eyes revealing the same hopelessness as the Sky Island residents he used to execute with lightning.
Although Yamato was kind, she had no sympathy for Enel, a guy who did more evil than Kurozumi Orochi.
She looked around Shandora and suddenly noticed a huge stone tablet beneath the golden bell.
"Is this a Poneglyph?"
Yamato's eyes were filled with surprise.
The reason she recognized it at a glance was that Wano Country also had such a stone tablet.
"Yes," Luo Xing nodded, "It records the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon. By the way, there is also a message from the Pirate King Roger at the very bottom."
"Pirate King Roger!"
Yamato's beautiful eyes lit up instantly; compared to the Pirate King, she didn't care about any Ancient Weapon at all.
Because she had believed since she was a child that the Pirate King was the freest person in the world.
Yamato yearned for freedom, so she inevitably held a trace of admiration for the Pirate King.
Yamato suddenly hugged one of Luo Xing's arms and shook it:
"Husband, I want to go to Loguetown, the place where the Pirate King was executed. Will you take me?"
Loguetown is located at the entrance of the Grand Line and is known as the Town of Beginnings and Endings.
This Sky Island was in the first half of the Grand Line, so it wasn't actually too far from Loguetown.
Furthermore, Luo Xing remembered he had promised Yamato that he would accompany her on a trip around the world one day; he could treat this as a preview.
Thus, Luo Xing agreed.
Yamato kissed Luo Xing and said sweetly, "Husband, you're so good!"
Luo Xing's smile, however, suddenly became a bit strange as he said:
"I do have a condition; you have to promise me one thing too."
Yamato patted her chest and said without hesitation, "I'll agree to whatever you say, husband!"
Luo Xing leaned into Yamato's ear and whispered a few words.
Yamato's pretty face turned red instantly, her beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she stammered:
"In... in the air..."
She bit her lip and glared at Luo Xing.
Although extremely shy, in order to go to Loguetown, Yamato gave a slight nod, which counted as her agreement.
Luo Xing was overjoyed, feeling impatient.
When King returned with the gold, Luo Xing said to him:
"I'll trouble you to move the gold back to Wano Country; Yamato and I are going out for a while. As for Enel..."
Luo Xing glanced at Enel, who had lost his dreams, status, freedom, and everything, looking utterly dejected, and said with a sneer:
"This guy doesn't seem to have any fighting spirit left. I wonder if he can withstand the Dragon-level Monster Cell."
"Never mind, just throw him into the Udon prison in Wano Country to mine and train his physique. By the way, have Queen whip him a few hundred times a day to stir up his bloodlust."
Enel's body trembled violently; he wanted to curse, but bound by the collar, he couldn't make a sound.
His pupils revealed despair and infinite terror, with no trace of his former arrogance and madness.
