One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 232: Shandora’s Light!

In the heart of the shrine, dust danced and settled slowly.

On the shattered floor lay Enel, covered in crimson. His eyes were wide and vacant, a perfect fist-shaped dent marking his temple.

"Lord Enel!"

The priests and servants were utterly speechless, frozen in shock.

The invincible God Enel, defeated by a mere surface dweller with a single punch?

Impossible!

"This guy's a real dummy," said Roya, standing beside the fallen Enel, his fist still smoking from the impact.

He truly hadn't expected Enel to just stand there, neither dodging nor blocking, even yawning as if victory was already his.

There's a limit to arrogance.

It was likely the first time Enel had ever been struck since gaining his Rumble-Rumble Fruit powers, so his lack of defense was somewhat understandable.

"That's what happens when you've never truly experienced the world," Roya muttered, shaking his head. He reached for the Seastone handcuffs hanging from his belt and secured them around Enel's wrists.

It's not time to kill him yet.

"Hmm?"

Roya hoisted Enel up, his gaze sweeping the surroundings. The Four Priests had formed a ring around him, clearly intending to rescue their god.

The other God's Servants also gripped their weapons tightly, a tense atmosphere hanging in the air.

"Release Lord Enel!" they cried. They couldn't fathom how this surface world man had defeated Enel, but he must have used some underhanded trick. After all, with God's power, Enel couldn't possibly lose to anyone fairly.

"They're so clueless," Roya sighed, raising a hand towards the sky.

"Little Pink, burn this place to the ground."

"Aang～"

A dragon's roar shattered the silence, and a blazing column of fire erupted from above, consuming everything in its path, including the stubbornly resisting priests!

---

Cloud Hidden Village, Shandia Stronghold.

The young Aisa clutched her head, finding the Patriarch and the Shandia warriors, her emotions swirling between terror and elation.

"Enel's aura has vanished!" she exclaimed. "And the priests' auras are disappearing one by one!"

"Something huge must have happened on God's Island!"

Enel's aura, gone?

The warriors exchanged incredulous glances. They knew Aisa possessed Mantra (Observation Haki) and could sense the auras of those around her.

"Let's go!"

War Demon Wiper slung his Burning Bazooka over his shoulder, his face as cold and hard as stone. Regardless of what had transpired, he had to see it with his own eyes.

For the ancestors, I will reclaim Shandora!

On the other side, Angel Island.

In the center of the street, Yamato held a Wind Dial close, the howling wind whipping through her hair.

"Wahahaha, this is so much fun!" she cried, laughing.

Conis stood beside her, her face etched with worry.

In the past, surface dwellers often boasted about challenging God, but the results were always the same. They were always killed by the priests before they could even meet God.

They don't understand God's power!

Just as Conis was lost in thought, the sky suddenly darkened, and a massive shadow enveloped the entire island.

"What... is that?!"

The Angel Island residents looked up, their hearts pounding in terror as they stared at the pink dragon that blotted out the sun.

Even the Ruler of the Sky doesn't have a body that huge!

"Thump!"

Two figures plummeted from the dragon's body. One of them appeared unconscious, falling straight down into the center of the square.

Silence fell over the square as the man's face became visible. Even the White Beret Unit responsible for security paled with fright.

"God Enel!"

The man sprawled on the ground was none other than Enel.

Roya landed gracefully behind Conis, greeting her with a smile, "Conis-san, I'm not too late, am I?"

"Roya-san..." Conis stammered, still in shock.

"I'm going to kill God!"

She'd thought it was a joke, but he had actually gone and defeated the invincible Enel.

This man from the surface world must be an extraordinary person!

"Enel has been defeated!"

The residents slowly reacted, still struggling to believe that Enel had lost. It felt like a dream.

"Conis, tell everyone not to touch Enel. I'll be back soon."

"Yamato, Uta, I'm going to take you to a wonderful place."

Roya ignored the stunned residents, scooped up Uta by the waist, and with a light leap, jumped onto Little Pink's head. Yamato followed. Little Pink soared through the air on fiery clouds, quickly rising above God's Island and the massive vines below.

Suddenly, a golden light filled their vision.

Yamato stared in awe at the golden glow reflecting off the distant island cloud.

"Roya, is that...!"

"That's right, it's the Golden Bell!" Roya said, smiling.

Yamato's eyes filled with tears, Oden's diary echoing in her mind. The Pirate King Roger and his crew had been here too!

She had realized her childhood dream!

The three arrived on the island cloud, gazing at the enormous Golden Bell before them. A sense of history washed over them.

Roya took a deep breath. Not even for a moment did he consider taking the Golden Bell. He felt that taking it away for money would be a desecration.

The Golden Bell belongs here.

It is proof of Shandora's existence, a shining jewel in human history.

"Yamato, why don't you ring it!" Roya said.

"Ah, me?" Yamato blinked.

A smile played on Roya's lips. Having the straightforward Yamato ring the bell felt more fitting than if he were to do it.

"Yeah, ring it with all your might!"

"Okay!"

Yamato drew her Wolf Fang Club. The Golden Bell was enormous; too little power wouldn't make a sound. She would need to use all her strength!

"Heaaah!"

"Bang!"

The Wolf Fang Club collided with the surface of the Golden Bell. After four hundred years of silence, the Golden Bell shook, the pendulum inside swinging high before striking the inner wall!

"Dong～～"

"Dong～～"

"Dong～～"

The clear, resounding tone of the bell echoed between heaven and earth, as if the earth itself was singing.

---

Directly below, on God's Island.

"It's Shandora's Light!"

The Shandia warriors stopped, all gazing towards the sky, listening to the beautiful, clear sound.

Besides Shandora's Light, there could be no other explanation.

The Shandia people's mission is complete.

"Dong～～"

The beautiful tone continued to echo, spreading towards Angel Island, the distant surface world, and Jaya Island far below.

---

Mont Blanc Cricket, Noland's descendant, sat on the coast with two gorillas beside him.

"Boss, what is that sound?"

"It must be!" Cricket said, looking up at the sky, a smile forming on his lips.

"El Dorado is in the sky!"

His ancestor, Noland, hadn't lied.

El Dorado really exists!

"How romantic," Cricket said, standing up and looking at the two gorillas who had been willing to share his dream.

"Now that we know where El Dorado is, we should prepare. Orangutan, Gorilla, I'm going to Sky Island to find El Dorado. Are you willing to come on this adventure with me?"

"Of course!" the two gorillas replied immediately.

---

The ringing gradually faded.

Back on Angel Island, the dragon returned.

At Roya's instruction, Little Pink bit the cage containing Enel, preparing to set off for the New World.

Best not to delay. Vegapunk should have made some progress by now.

"Yamato, Uta, you stay on Sky Island," Roya said. "I'll go to the New World and be back in a month at most."

"A month? That's so long!" Yamato said, a little sad to see Roya go, but she also wanted to stay on Sky Island. The adventure had just begun.

Uta was a little better.

Everything on Sky Island fascinated her, and without having to worry about enemies, she was really eager to explore.

Roya shook his head and smiled, looking at the Angel Island residents and pointing to Yamato. "From today on, she is your new God!"

"Huh? Me, a God?" Yamato said, confused.

The Angel Island residents were also bewildered, but they dared not object to the man who had defeated Enel.

Roya waved goodbye.

"Good luck, Yamato!"

"Being God is simple!"

"Beat whoever you don't like, got it!"
