Chapter 272

Sky Island, Cloud Village.

This is a village built near the Upper Yard, where the Shandian residents live in secret. Of course, it's just their own secret.

Under Enel's Mantra, everything on the Sky Island is invisible, he just couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it.

"Chief! Chief!"

An old man with white hair wearing a wolf-head hat waved his hand: "Wei Pa, you are a Shandian warrior, why are you still so rash? What happened?"

Wei Pa took a deep breath and said excitedly: "I just went to the Upper Yard. Enel's priests have all disappeared, and I didn't see a single God's soldier."

Now the Chief couldn't stay calm either and hurriedly asked: "Is what you said true? You really didn't see a single one?"

Wei Pa nodded forcefully: "Yes, Chief. Although I don't know what they went to do, this is absolutely the best time for us to take back the Upper Yard. Chief, let me take the warriors to take back the Upper Yard!"

Responding to Wei Pa was silence. Just when Wei Pa was anxious and scratching his head, the Chief sighed.

"Wei Pa, go! Take back the Upper Yard, take back our homeland!!!"

Wei Pa roared excitedly: "Yes, Chief!"

Then he looked at the surrounding Shandian residents and shouted loudly: "Shandian warriors! The time to take back our homeland has come!!!"

"Roar roar!!!" "Ooh ooh ooh ooh!!!"

Just when the Shandian residents were howling, a huge black raven landed slowly in their territory, and an invisible pressure lingered in the heart of every Shandian resident.

The village suddenly became quiet. Everyone held their breath and stared, their hearts beating *thump thump*, everyone's expression tightened suddenly, and their eyes were fixed on the huge black bird.

"It's really lively here!"

Karl was the first to jump off Raven's back, looked around casually, and extended his right hand toward Hancock on Raven's back.

A fair and tender arm held Karl's hand, and she stepped down from Raven's back lightly, standing beside Karl, looking at the surroundings with a flat expression.

Wei Pa suppressed the nameless fear in his heart and shouted at the two: "Who are you?"

Karl smiled slightly: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Karl, from the North Blue, Lvneel Kingdom."

Hearing the word 'Lvneel', the Chief's expression changed suddenly, and he trembled with excitement: "You, are you a descendant of Noland?"

"Noland?" "What? Chief, you mean..."

The Shandians' gaze toward Karl changed immediately—some expectant, some excited.

Karl saw that there was a chance, and immediately put on his acting skills, revealing a look of great emotion: "I didn't expect to be hidden so deeply, but I was still discovered by you..."

Hearing Karl admit it, the Chief's eyes turned red, and he rushed up to grab Karl's hand. His eyes were red, and his tone was choked with sobs.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we... we still haven't completed the promise with Noland. I'm very sorry!!!"

Karl took a deep breath, tears flickering in his eyes: "It's okay. If Noland ancestor were still alive, he definitely wouldn't blame you."

"No, you came just in time today, because today we are going to take back our homeland and ring the Golden Bell again to fulfill the promise for our ancestors!!!"

"Wei Pa!"

"Here!"

"No matter what, today we must take back the Upper Yard!!! Can you do it?"

"Yes!!!" Wei Pa's throat was almost cracked...

Karl coughed when he saw this and whispered to the Chief: "Uh, actually, Enel has already been defeated by me."

"Don't be afraid, although Enel is very strong, we Shandians will never... wait, what did you just say?"

"Enel has already been defeated by me, so he and his priests have already left the Sky Island."

The Chief stared at Karl blankly, blinked his eyes, and then revealed an expression as if he had seen a ghost, pointing at Karl and unable to speak for a long time.

Karl continued: "I came here today, one is to confirm whether Enel has left the Sky Island, and the second is to take you back to Jiayadao."

The Chief heard the keyword again and hurriedly asked: "Jiayadao!!!"

"That's right. 400 years ago, Shandora was blasted to the Sky Island, but its other half has always remained in the Blue Sea. Don't you want to return to your true homeland?"

"Want to, I think about it every day. But our ancestors have lived here for 400 years. This is also our homeland!"

Karl frowned. It seems that singing the white face (being nice) isn't enough... So Karl looked at Hancock. It's your turn.

"Sorry, but the Upper Yard is already my territory. You must leave. But for Karl's sake, I can wait for you to complete the promise, but after that, you must leave!!!"

The Shandians were unhappy. If it weren't for Karl being present...

"Who is she?"

Karl said 'embarrassedly': "This is the Empress of Amazon Lily. Her power is above mine. But don't worry, I'll talk to her again!"

"No, no need to talk. The Upper Yard is the homeland of the Shandians, and this will never change. Anyway, we have been fighting the Sky Islanders for 400 years and Enel for three years. At worst, it's just changing to a new enemy!"

Hancock's expression turned cold, and she suddenly erupted with Conqueror's Haki. Her whole body was filled with an imperial aura, and most of the Shandians fainted on the spot.

Those who could still stand were just struggling to support themselves, relying on their willpower to resist this pressure.

"You are also qualified to negotiate conditions with me? In this world, as long as I want something, no one dares to refuse!"

"If you dare to refuse me, then all of you turn into stone!!! *Mero Mero Mero~*"

*Crack crack~*

The few Shandian warriors who were supporting themselves in front were instantly petrified. Now, in the entire village, the only ones who could move freely were Karl, Hancock, and the Chief.

"You, what kind of monster are you!!!"

The Chief looked at the surrounding stones and the fainted villagers in disbelief, heartbroken. He immediately picked up his staff, ready to fight Hancock to the death. Karl stopped him firmly.

"Don't be impulsive, Chief. She is my friend, I'll talk to her!"

The Chief stared at Karl with burning eyes and nodded forcefully: "I'll leave it to you, Karl."

"Mm!"

Then, Karl walked toward Hancock with a solemn expression, inviting her to the small woods... to get some air, and by the way, discuss what to do next.

After the two left, the Chief's legs went soft, and he collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. It was too terrifying. That momentum was even more frightening than Enel's lightning.

Looking at Wei Pa and the others who were petrified and the villagers who fainted, the Chief sighed...

I leave it to you, descendant of Noland.
