One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 152 The Golden Bell Rings Again

The proverb of the Ark flying in the sky.

They could already see the smoke of war on Liuluo Island, plumes of black smoke rising into the sky, and they could even hear the sounds of frenzied fighting.

Why does war never end?

"They are already powerful and wealthy enough that they don't need to worry about heavenly gold, but they are still plundering and waging wars."

Issho's Observation Haki allowed him to hear the furthest, and he loathed this kind of war fought for the sake of plunder.

"Human desires are never-ending."

"Perhaps they are trying to maintain their current strength, or perhaps they are striving to become even stronger."

"After all, if you don't continue to grow stronger, one day someone else might become stronger than you and start taking from you."

"It's a chain of suspicion and distrust."

"Of course, in order to pay the exorbitant Heavenly Gold, this was a sinful beginning, which fueled many wars of plunder."

Luo Ji stood at the bow of the ship, quietly watching the smoke of war on the distant islands and listening to the faint sounds of fighting.

Can this world truly achieve peace? Is it really possible for war to end?

Yi Xiao was aware of the darkness in human nature; he knew that wherever there were humans, there would be no shortage of struggle and war.

He could only try for the sake of the ideal in his heart.

"As long as there is one person or one force that is powerful enough to inspire awe in everyone, and then establishes the most reasonable system, then there is truly hope for peace to come."

Of course, the most important thing is that this person must be a kind-hearted, strong leader, and someone who can always maintain their original aspirations.

Otherwise, like those old monsters in the World Government who call themselves gods, they have completely regarded humans and other races as ants.

Luo Ji said calmly, knowing that it was almost impossible to make the world without war.

No matter the world or the era, nothing can stop various battles and wars.

Moreover, this is an unconventional world with powerful combat capabilities.

"Can the captain do it?" Yixiao asked with a rather touched smile.

“I can give it a try,” Luo Ji said with a gentle smile.

"How can we guarantee that it won't change like those old monsters?"

"Because my dream is to reach the stars and explore the true nature of the world, to transcend this world."

"So that's how it is. Even being the king of the world isn't the captain's final destination..."

···

During the question-and-answer session between Luo Ji and Yi Xiao, everyone on the ship felt a sudden, inexplicable chill.

Even Big Bear and Wildwood were having trouble keeping up with the pace of these two.

"What are you talking about? What are the stars and the sea? What is the ultimate truth?"

Yamato didn't understand what Luo Ji was talking about, after all, she was just a 'country girl' hiding on Oni Island.

"Haha, there are so many planets in the vast universe. Perhaps we are not the only world with life. Perhaps there are other aliens."

Furthermore, this world has the Soul-Soul Fruit ability, the Revive-Revive Fruit ability for resurrection, and various Mythical Zoan abilities. Perhaps there really is a Netherworld, a Underworld, or even a God Realm—who knows?

Luo Ji smiled faintly. When he said this, even Yi Xiao, a wandering swordsman who had seen the world, was stunned for a moment.

While he was still feeling powerless and desperate about the peace and war in this world, Luo Ji was already thinking about these things that transcend the world.

No wonder Luo Ji became the captain, no wonder his Conqueror's Haki grew so fast and so ridiculously.

The level of thought among these people is simply not on the same level as Luo Ji's.

"You mean there might be life on other planets? Or even other worlds of gods and demons?"

Yamato's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out his logbook and wrote down these words.

In the future, she may have the opportunity to explore other planets and other worlds, which would be tens of thousands of times more exciting than exploring islands.

They will be stronger than Kozuki Oden and Roger, and will do even greater things.

They're going to become the King of the Sanctuary and the Pirate King!

"The captain has lofty ideals; I admire him greatly!"

It was rare for him to actually laugh. With such a grand ideal, Luo Ji shouldn't become a false god like the Five Elders.

Does such a world really exist?

Huang Mu also felt it was all very unreal, but Luo Ji's description sounded quite plausible, so could it really be true?

Big Bear and Crocodile in the cage fell silent, seemingly pondering Luo Ji's words.

The girl on the boat was looking at Luo Ji with fervent and admiring eyes.

"Haha, don't think too much about it. Right now, we can't even beat the World Government."

Let's deal with the war between these two pirate kingdoms first!

Luo Ji laughed a few times and quickly changed the subject.

Those things are too far off; let's focus on the present first.

"They're still fighting even after they see us coming!"

"Separate them first, then deal with them properly!"

Luo Ji noticed that the battlegrounds on the island were somewhat scattered. In order to concentrate them and sweep through the enemy in one fell swoop, he decided to end the battle.

Luo Ji summoned his golden bell once again.

"It's here! It's our Golden Bell!!"

Seeing Luo Ji place the Golden Bell on the enlarged Thunder Flying Cloud in the scroll world, Yamato was the first to cheer.

"The Golden Bell, cast entirely in gold!!"

Aramu's eyes widened. Hanafza, trapped in a sea stone cage, saw the wealthy Luo Ji Pirates and became even more eager to join this powerful and rich force.

"Slurp, so much gold!"

Bonnie nimbly jumped onto the Golden Bell Palace, touching the thick layer of gold. So much gold, how much food could she buy!

I'm no longer afraid of going hungry.

"If the Revolutionary Army had been as rich as Luo Ji, Dragon might have been able to take Vegapunk away back then."

Big Bear had interacted with both Dragon and Vegapunk, and knew about their relationship.

In fact, Dragon had tried to recruit Vegapunk back then, but Vegapunk rejected Dragon because he was too poor and could not provide much research resources and funding.

"Elsa, Bonnie, ring it! Let those guys down there know we're here!"

"Anyone who wants to try knocking can go and have some fun."

Seeing Aisha, a Shandian girl with sparkling eyes, Luo Ji spoke to the playful girls.

Other eager members can also ring the golden bell.

"it is good!"

"I want to play too!"

"I want to knock it!!"

···

Amidst the lively sounds of the Luo Ji Pirates, a series of magnificent bell tolls echoed in all directions, resounding throughout a radius of tens of kilometers of sea.

The continuous tolling of the bells startled the fighting naval forces of Babao and Baga, who looked up at the sky in shock.

This is a beautiful bell that purifies the soul, and also a bell that torments the dead, bringing death to those in the underworld.

"The Luo Ji Pirates are really here?!?!"

This was the first reaction of the pillars of the Babao Water Army.

When they saw the flying warships and the floating golden bell approaching in the sky, they knew something big was about to happen.

If the Luo Ji Pirates attacked the Land of Kuma, they might very well attack them as well.

"Get out!"

The pillars of several of the Eight Treasures Navy units decisively abandoned the pursuit of the Eight Trigrams Navy and turned to flee.

Meanwhile, the samurai chieftain and bandit leaders of the Sang Kingdom looked at the flying warship in horror.

Have the new king and the capital already fallen?

"Yixiao, Huangmu, Daxiong, don't let them get away, attack together!!"

With a wave of his hand, scrolls swept across the sky. This time, he would personally take action and show the world the strength of this "Fat and Bloated Fifth Emperor".
