Chapter 83

~8 min read 1,403 words

"You ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; what a waste of such a powerful Logia fruit."

Then Enel was lifted by Kaido and tossed at Luo Xing's feet.

From Enel's flashy, arrogant, and grand entrance to his dazed eyes lying at Luo Xing's feet, no more than a minute had passed.

Facing Kaido, who had stepped onto the threshold of the Imperial level, Enel was instantly obliterated, utterly powerless like a toddler.

He sat blankly on the ground, his mind containing only three sentences:

Who am I?

Where am I?

What just happened?

Luo Xing looked pitifully at Enel, who had plummeted from the peak of life to the valley of hell in an instant, and took out the Sea Prism Stone collar, newly forged by Li Zhao, and placed it around the latter's neck.

Patting Enel's shoulder, he comforted him, saying:

"Life is always full of ups and downs; from now on, you'll follow me, your big brother."

Without waiting to see if Enel had come to his senses, he took his wife Yamato's small hand in one hand and said to Kaido:

"Drag him along; let's go check out the legendary Golden Land of Shandora."

Kaido dragged Enel along as if he were a dog.

Watching Luo Xing and the others depart, and seeing Enel crawling on the ground, the girl Conis and all the residents of the Sky Island were completely unable to react.

After an unknown amount of time, 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? It hurts like hell!"

"Hurts? Then that means we aren't dreaming; that bastard Enel was truly defeated!"

"Hahaha! Enel has been defeated! Enel has been captured!!"

Cheers spread freely across the Sky Island.

The residents of the Sky Island immediately knelt and prostrated themselves in the direction Luo Xing and the others had left, bowing deeply:

"Savior Gods from Wano Country, thank you for saving the Sky Island!"

79. Great Wealth in the Golden Land, Desperate Enel, Yamato's Doubts (Please Subscribe)

Shandora, renowned as the Golden Land, is said to be a city entirely cast from gold.

It originally belonged to the Jaya Island in the sea below but was swept up to the Sky Island by the Knock Up Stream.

The hero of the Minks, Branwen, was executed by the world as a liar because he failed to find the Golden Land.

Since Luo Xing had arrived at this Sky Island, and since he needed vast funds to craft various tools, there was no reason not to take this gold.

They traveled all the way to Shandora.

The once-golden city had become very dilapidated, with many precious items lost, yet plenty of gleaming gold remained.

Especially 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 Kaido:

"Move them; move all this gold to Wano Country."

Yamato, however, tugged his sleeve and whispered:

"Husband, this gold belongs to the Sky Island people; it is also a historical relic. We shouldn't take it."

Yamato was good at everything, except that sometimes she was too kind, even to the point of being a saint.

Luo Xing said with a solemn face:

"We just did the Sky Island residents a huge favor by capturing their evil god; taking some reward is only right."

"As for the historical relic, precisely because of that, we must not leave this gold here; otherwise, no one in the world will see it, and wouldn't that just let the relic gather dust?"

Yamato was confused by Luo Xing's twisted logic.

It seemed reasonable, yet something felt off.

At that moment, a hoarse roar came from behind:

"Do not touch this gold, you bastard! This is all the resource this God needs to travel to the Infinite Land!"

The source of the roar was Enel.

He was being dragged by Kaido, had been crawling on the ground just now, was covered in dirt, and looked utterly wretched.

Yet even so, he still called himself "this God," clearly lacking a deep understanding of his current situation.

Luo Xing smiled and looked at Enel, saying:

"From now on, you must remember one sentence: yours is mine, and mine is still mine."

Enel's eyes turned red with rage, his face flushed purple, and he was about to roar.

But the collar around his neck suddenly tightened, and Enel could no longer make a sound.

The high-purity Sea Prism Stone instantly drained all strength from him, a Devil Fruit user, causing him to collapse onto the ground.

Luo Xing loosened the collar switch in his hand, expanding the collar slightly to ensure Enel wouldn't suffocate to death, and said to Kaido:

"This guy has always wanted to go to the moon; he even built a golden ark powered by lightning. Go find that ark, melt the gold on it, and bring it all back to Wano Country."

Kaido accepted the order and left.

Enel, dragged away by Kaido, wore an expression of utter grief and despair, his eyes revealing the same hopelessness as the Sky Island residents he had once executed with thunder.

Though Yamato was kind, she felt no sympathy whatsoever for Enel, a villain who had committed far more evil than Black Maki.

She looked around Shandora and suddenly noticed a huge stone tablet beneath the Golden Bell.

"Is this a Poneglyph?"

Yamato's eyes widened in astonishment.

She could recognize it at a glance because there was also such a stone tablet in Wano Country.

"Yes," Luo Xing nodded, saying, "It records the whereabouts of the ancient weapon Poseidon. By the way, there is also a message from the Pirate King, Gol D. Luo Jie, at the very bottom."

"The Pirate King, Gol D. Luo Jie!"

Yamato's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up; compared to the Pirate King, she cared nothing for the ancient weapon.

Because since childhood, she had believed that the Pirate King was the freest person in the world.

Yamato was extremely yearning for freedom, so she inevitably held a trace of admiration for the Pirate King.

Yamato suddenly hugged one of Luo Xing's arms, shaking it back and forth:

"Husband, I want to go to the Pirate King's execution place, Loguetown. Will you take me, please?"

Loguetown is located at the entrance of the Grand Line, known as the Town of Beginning and End.

This Sky Island is situated in the first half of the Grand Line, so it is actually not too far from Loguetown.

Moreover, Luo Xing recalled that he had promised Yamato to travel around the world with her one day; this time would serve as a preliminary rehearsal.

So, Luo Xing agreed.

Yamato kissed Luo Xing with a "mua" and said sweetly, "Husband, you are so good!"

Luo Xing's smile suddenly became somewhat eerie as he said:

"I have conditions; you must also promise me one thing."

Yamato patted her chest and said without hesitation, "No matter what husband says, I will agree!"

Luo Xing then leaned close to Yamato's ear and whispered a few words.

Yamato's pretty face instantly turned red; she widened her beautiful eyes in shock and stammered:

"In... in the air..."

She bit her lip and gave Luo Xing a white look.

Although extremely shy, to go to Loguetown, Yamato still nodded slightly, which counted as agreement.

Luo Xing was overjoyed, simply unable to wait.

When King returned with the gold, Luo Xing said to him:

"Please trouble you to move the gold back to Wano Country; Yamato and I are going out to travel for a while. As for Enel..."

Luo Xing glanced at Enel, who had lost his dreams, his status, his freedom, and everything, leaving him in a daze, and said with a sneer:

"This fellow seems to have no fighting spirit left; I wonder if he can withstand the Dragon-Level Monster Cell."

"Never mind, first throw him into the Udon Prison in Wano Country to mine and build up his physique. Meanwhile, let Queen whip him several hundred times every day to stimulate his bloodlust."

Enel's body trembled violently; he wanted to curse, but bound by the collar around his neck, he could make no sound at all.

His pupils revealed despair and infinite terror, with not a shred of his former arrogance and conceit remaining.
