Chapter 498: Reconciliation and Giant Ship
Zhang Jie saw that he had a well-thought-out look, obviously having thought about this problem long ago, so he nodded:
"That is very good."
The history between the Shandians and Sky Island people is not peaceful, and the war between the two sides lasted for a full 400 years.
This means that from birth to death, several generations of Shandians and Sky Island people spent their lives in slaughter.
For the Shandians, this was a crisis of national subjugation and genocide; they lost their homeland Shandora,
and were forced to hide in the dark "Cloud Hidden Village", facing survival threats at all times.
For Sky Island people, the tireless resistance of the Shandians brought about blood feuds that were difficult to cleanse.
This long-term opposition led to extremely deep psychological barriers between the two sides.
Shandians regard Sky Island people as "invaders" and "thieves",
while Sky Island people regard Shandians as "barbarians" and "terrorists".
This hatred has been integrated into the blood, and even children (like Aisa) are educated from childhood to fight.
One of the core weapons used by both sides is the Sky Island specialty "Reject Dial".
This kind of shellfish can release huge shock waves, and its power is sufficient to shatter rocks and human bodies.
This kind of attack is often accompanied by fractures, internal organ rupture, etc., once hit, or even direct death.
It can be said that there is a blood feud between Sky Island people and Shandians that is difficult to resolve.
However, just like the friendship between the Little Britain and France who fought the Hundred Years' War, which relies on the Germany governed by art students,
the power that can resolve the hatred between two ethnic groups is often a third-party force with great threats.
Between Sky Island people and Shandians, Enel, who relied entirely on violence to ascend to the top,
and maintain rule, is this third-party force.
If the struggle between the two clans is "tragic", then Enel's intervention is "destruction".
In order to carry out his so-called "survival game", Enel
not only destroyed the Shandians' stronghold, but also slaughtered Sky Island residents indiscriminately.
He used the power of "God" and the ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to make both sides fall into extreme fear.
Under Enel's rule, Shandians and Sky Island people both became lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
This external high pressure, although the process was full of blood and sacrifice, also finally facilitated reconciliation.
"Wyper, are you willing to represent the Shandians to reconcile with the Sky Island people?"
Zhang Jie intends to be a witness to peace between the two clans once again.
Wyper stammered and wanted to say something, but thinking of the precarious life brought by Enel over the years,
not knowing when "God's Punishment" would descend on the Shandians,
he lowered his head in front of Zhang Jie's eyes, which were calm but unfathomable like deep pools,
and full of pressure: "I, I am willing."
Gan Fall, who received a positive answer, was overjoyed: "That's great, Warrior Chief Wyper,
the blood of Sky Island people and Shandians has flowed for four hundred years, and enough has flowed, it is time to end all this!"
Saying that, he reached out his palm to Wyper.
"Yes, the blood of Shandians and Sky Island people has flowed too much, it is time to welcome the arrival of peace."
Wyper took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, and he also reached out his palm.
Slap!
The next second, the palms of the two, representing the highest leader of Sky Island people and the highest leader of Sky Island people, gripped together heavily.
This represents that the blood feud between Sky Island people and Shandians that lasted for four hundred years has since drawn a period.
Clap clap, clap clap!
Zhang Jie took the lead in sending out applause of blessing.
The other Kuliket and the others, high-level Sky Island officials, and Shandian warriors also witnessed this historic scene together.
Under Zhang Jie's witness, Wyper and Gan Fall each represented the Shandians and Sky Island people to reach an agreement:
1. Sky Island accepts Shandians into the Sky Island political system,
both sides form a joint government, and the status between them is equal.
2. Shandians can return to their ancestral land Shandora to live,
and cannot block Sky Island people from entering God's Island; both sides jointly develop this fertile land that is rare on Sky Island.
The Shandians have a total of only 900 people,
not even enough to fill a Shandora ruin, so naturally, they have no opinion on this.
3. Both sides jointly recommend Zhang Jie as the supervisor, who has the right to punish the party that has behavior that exceeds the contract.
The above three articles serve as the general program, and other detailed clauses will be discussed by more professional personnel.
Letting Gan Fall and Wyper discuss more detailed clauses, Zhang Jie left the Shandora ruins,
and opened to another important location in Upper Yard, a huge shipyard.
This is a behemoth covering dozens of football fields,
just because it is also building a behemoth—a giant ship about 600 meters long,
about 300 meters high, and more than 100 meters wide is lying quietly in the dock.
The bow is carved into a divine eagle about to spread its wings and fly, and it is bright gold, as if it were made of gold.
On its unfinished hull, one can see countless wires and skeletons made of gold,
and in each power cabin, there are Sky Island specialties, nearly extinct, extremely powerful Reject Dials.
"What a magnificent giant ship."
Looking at this giant ship, Zhang Jie felt emotion in his heart.
Its length is about the length of 6 standard football fields connected end to end,
or the size of 3 Burj Khalifa towers in Dubai laid horizontally.
Its height is about 100 stories high, or close to the height of 3 Statue of Liberties stacked together.
It is a true wonder-level behemoth.
That is, Shandora is a well-deserved Golden City,
the buildings in the city, although not made of nearly 100% pure gold like the Golden Bell,
but the gold content is also quite high, which can support the manufacture of this giant ship.
This is exactly the Ark—Maxim, built by Enel for wanting to fly to the moon and find the legendary infinite earth.
Its main structure combines Sky Island's Dial technology and ancient technology,
the hull, because the power source of this giant ship is Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit,
and gold has good conductivity and is beautiful, a large amount of Shandora's gold was used.
The Ark Maxim is not just a ship, it is a huge weapon.
Enel can use the Ark as a conductor to convert his huge electricity into a black thundercloud ball covering the entire island.
This move is called "Raigo", which can instantly turn the entire God's Island, Upper Yard, into scorched earth.
Or rather, the Raigo released using the Ark Maxim is the complete version of Raigo,
and the one Enel used to attack Zhang Jie before was just a weakened version without the Ark's amplification.
This is a world-destroying means prepared by Enel to destroy the "filthy land" and screen out the few survivors to go to the moon.
In the decisive battle with Luffy, Enel's lightning attack was ineffective against the rubber man Luffy, causing it to lose its power source.
In the end, Enel was defeated, but he did not give up the plan,
and drove the Ark Maxim alone, carrying some subordinates,
heading towards the "boundless earth" in his mind—the moon.
On the moon, he discovered ancient cities and murals, and founded the "Enel Legion". ===== CHAPTER 499 =====
