One Piece: Under the Throne

Chapter 148 How to Cut the Chains of Hatred

The surface of Shandia's lamp was covered with traces of time, with vines entwined around it, and the pillar on one side of the lamp base had long been broken.

While everyone was admiring the golden bell, Leo came to the historical text in the center of the base, brushed off the dust with his hand, and sighed: "Finally I got the third piece. I remembered that the piece I found in the prime minister's treasure has not been deciphered yet, and I became annoyed again."

"Come and help me." He called his companions over, and everyone worked together to copy down the historical text.

Gang Kerr stretched his neck to watch everyone busying themselves: "This is your purpose, right? What is this text?"

Leo answered without looking up: "Yes, everything on this island except this stone slab is Shandia's legacy. The purpose of our trip is to get it."

"This isn't the language of Qinghai, right? Young man, do you recognize what's written on it?"

Gangkel didn't care about Leo's explanation. No matter whether the stone slab belonged to the Shandians or not, the other party had already determined that it had nothing to do with Sky Island, so he focused on the main text of history.

"Ha! Are you trying to gather intelligence? This is a historical text, written 800 years ago. There are not many people in the world who can decipher it, and I am one of them."

After saying that, Leo suddenly remembered something and pointed to the words engraved on the base of the golden clock next to the main text of the history: "There is something over there that you are interested in. It is a message from Roger."

Gang Kerr was speechless for a moment, and remained silent for a long time: "Roger, he is a generous man, I really didn't realize that he is so knowledgeable."

This time it was Leo's turn to be speechless. Roger had a lot of knowledge. It should have been carved for him by Kozuki Oden. It couldn't be the ability to listen to the sounds of all things. Damn, this world couldn't be explained by science. Leo shook his head vigorously.

The crowd toured the top of the vine for a while. Leo found a piece of open space and sat cross-legged, studying the historical text carefully. The others were trying to lift the half-broken golden pillar.

Unfortunately, the pillar was too heavy, and neither Gloria nor Will could lift it on their own. In the end, everyone worked together to do it.

"Everyone, listen to my instructions, one, two, one, two." Gloria walked excitedly at the front of the team, shouting slogans to command everyone.

Gang Kerr curled his lips and thought to himself that they were just a group of robbers, but what happened next made him open his eyes wide. He saw them carrying the golden pillars and crashing into the golden bell.

Ding~Ding~Ding, the eyes seemed to see sound waves spreading, and a deep bell sound rang out. The bell sound reached Angel Island, passed through the clouds and reached the Hidden Cloud Village.

"The song of the island, so this is the song of the island." Gang Kerr was stunned, his eyes fixed on the golden bell. That's it! The sound came from the land that suddenly appeared 400 years ago.

Leo was startled, and his head was buzzing: "You...what are you doing?"

Leo roared in dissatisfaction, but saw his companions moving their mouths but could not hear any sound.

Oh my god, I must have been deafened!

……

It took a while for Leo to regain his hearing. Everyone had finished their visit, so he gave the order to return. As they slowly descended on Mr. Leaf, he asked Ah Fu to cut off all the leaves of the giant vine.

Then he said mysteriously to Will and Charles: "Is everything ready?"

The two of them made an OK gesture: "We are ready."

Gang Kerr was somewhat helpless: "Don't worry, I won't touch the golden bell."

Rio suddenly came to Gangkor and put his hand on his shoulder: "Master Shen, has this journey changed your mind? Do you want to return Arpaado to Shandia?"

Gang Kerr shook his head helplessly: "It's not that easy. The feud between the two sides has been going on for 400 years. It's no longer a question of right or wrong. Even if I agree, the Priest Corps and the Sky Islanders will not agree."

"Tsk! What a trouble." Leo ended the conversation. He was not the kind of person who would persuade people to break the chain of hatred and speak righteous words. As a stranger, he could not open his mouth.

Soon the group returned to the ruins square. The guard who was stunned by the Conqueror's Haki was still unconscious. When they parted, Leo once again warned Gangkel to leave the island, and left with his companions without waiting for the other party's answer.

Next they will go to the Hidden Cloud Village, but this time there is no one to lead the way. Leo wants to find a guide, but the people from Angel Island hide when they see them. Leo is so angry that he uses the most violent method and directly opens a hole in the clouds to go to the gap between the White Sea and Angel Island.

Not long after arriving at this level, they encountered the Shandia guerrillas. The visitor remembered Leo and his men, and when he heard that they had important information to report to the chief, he volunteered to lead Leo.

When they arrived at the Hidden Cloud Village again, the guards readily let Leo and his group in. When Leo was being taken to the chief's tent by the guards, Gloria's identity as a Sky Islander caused a small commotion. Fortunately, Gloria, the most popular person in the Shandia tribe, came forward and shouted, "Give me face," and the problem was solved.

"It's Leo, are you coming back to cheat my people again this time?"

Leo's face froze. After arriving in Shandia, he remembered something he had forgotten. He forgot about his guide Fran and left him on Bica Island. "Hey, Brother Fran, is he okay?"

"Hmph! Don't underestimate the Shandia warriors. Fran has already returned and has been complaining for a long time about you leaving without saying goodbye."

"Gomenasai, it was my negligence. I will apologize in person when I see Brother Fran."

"Okay, okay, what are you doing back now?"

"Did the chief hear the bells?"

Chief Shandia stood up suddenly and looked at Leo with wide eyes: "It's you? You found it?"

Leo nodded, and then told the chief the key points of what they had seen and heard today.

"That's great! After 400 years, the lamp of Shandia is finally lit again." The chief knelt in the direction of Arpaiado, crying.

"Master Chief, please don't get excited. I can take you to see the Golden Bell."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~Hmm? Phew."

"Ahem, do you mean we can see the holy relics of Shandia with our own eyes?"

"Yes, you can go now if you want."

The old chief was silent for a while: "Forget it, I won't trouble you anymore. If we are discovered by the priest team, there will inevitably be another big battle. I can't joke with the lives of children."

"No need to fight, we can sneak in and make sure the priests won't find us."

Huh? The chief looked at Leo in disbelief without saying a word, and Leo also opened his eyes wide and blinked at the chief to show his approval.

"Oh! Can you do it? What are you going to do? Forget it, go to the square and wait. I will gather the tribesmen to discuss it."

After finishing the conversation, Leo returned to the square alone. At this time, a group of children surrounded Gloria in the square, and the latter was playing and singing the electric guitar. The song she sang was The Blue Bird.

At the end of the song, Gloria played the last syllable, struck an ending pose, raised one hand above her head, and passed the pick in her hand to Laci, who excitedly caught the pick and screamed as she was about to faint.

Ha! Little girl, I don’t know who wanted to beat or kill me just now.
