Chapter 116 Return to the Merry

Enelu, a man with god-like power, sat in his luxurious palace shining with golden light. However, at this moment, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, as if covered by a shadow.

It turned out that, relying on his unique mind network, that is, his observation Haki, he realized a shocking fact: the four great priests under his command had all been defeated!

"Damn it! These incompetent people were defeated so easily!" Enel roared in anger, and his fists slammed hard on the armrest of the throne, making a dull loud noise.

His anger burned in his chest, but despite this anger, he did not choose to go in person. The reason was simple. He sensed a bad aura outside the palace.

At the same time, in another corner of the Sky Island, Ling Tian was exploring with all his might. His brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes were sharp as knives, and he was vigilantly examining every detail around him.

"What on earth is going on? Why did all the gold disappear without a trace!" Ling Tian murmured to himself, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness in his voice.

He squatted down and carefully observed the burning marks around him. Those familiar marks gave him an ominous premonition.

"These traces... seem to have been seen before." Ling Tian muttered to himself as he continued to move forward, trying to find more clues. His eyes swept around, as if he wanted to take in everything around him. Every detail, every texture, was not missed.

On the other side, Robin was concentrating on studying a historical text on a sky island.

Her eyes were full of curiosity and concentration, and her fingers gently touched the ancient characters. These characters flowed through her fingertips like dancing notes, telling stories of the past. She listened quietly, as if she could hear the whispers of time.

"'The ancient weapon held in the name of God Poseidon is where it is. We are the ones who weave history, with the bells of the great bell tower.'" Robin read the words softly, with a hint of awe in his voice.

These words were like a key that opened the door to the ancient times. She seemed to see the once glorious civilization and feel their wisdom and power.

However, when she moved her eyes to the bottom of the historical text, she found a line of very small words. She looked closely and saw that it read: "I came here and led this text to the end, the pirate Goel D. Roger."

"Gol D. Roger? Could it be the Pirate King Roger?" Robin looked at the small horizontal line below and felt excited.

She knew the influence of this legendary figure, whose name had long been a symbol of the Great Pirate Era. If this text was really left by Roger, then the information contained in it would probably have a huge impact on the entire world.

Those who have completed the exploration of the Sky Island are now embarking on their journey back home, heading back to their warm ship, the Merry.

The first to return was Nami, who landed lightly on the deck of the Merry, her face full of disappointment and anger. "Humph! It's a lie to say there's gold on this sky island!" Nami stomped her feet and complained loudly, "I've been searching on that island for so long, and I haven't even seen a single gold grain, let alone gold!"

She put her hands on her hips, her brows furrowed, and her beautiful face seemed a little distorted with anger.

At this moment, Sanji was busy preparing delicious food in the kitchen. Hearing Nami's complaint, he quickly put down the spatula in his hand, turned around and trotted to Nami.

"Dear Miss Nami, don't be angry, please calm down first." Sanji smiled, bent down slightly, put his right hand on his chest, and said very gentlemanly: "Would you like a glass of delicious juice? It is guaranteed to make you feel better."

Nami rolled her eyes at Sanji and said unhappily, "Okay, have a drink then."

Sanji immediately responded excitedly: "Okay, Miss Nami, please wait a moment!" After that, he turned around and ran towards the kitchen, as fast as a gust of wind.

After a while, Sanji came back with a glass of colorful and tempting-looking juice.

"Ms. Nami, this is the juice I prepared specially for you. Please try it." Sanji carefully handed the juice to Nami, his eyes full of anticipation and joy.

After Nami took the juice, she took a sip first, then her expression eased a little, and she nodded and praised: "Well, it tastes pretty good." After that, she took the juice and walked towards the table where the nautical chart was placed.

Sanji stood there, his eyes closely following Nami's back, with an obsessed look on his face, muttering to himself: "Ms. Nami, you are so charming. You exude unparalleled charm no matter when and where you are."

Nami walked to the table and sat down, then slowly spread out the nautical chart and began to study it carefully.

As she was looking at the sea chart, she was still muttering to herself, "This sky island is really a waste of time. It's just a waste of my precious time. How great it would be if I could use this time to look for treasure..."

At this moment, Luffy also jumped back to the boat, his face filled with excitement and satisfied smile, and he kept muttering: "Haha, Sky Island is so fun!" As he spoke, he sat down on the deck like a child.

Nami raised her head and looked at Luffy's happy face. She couldn't help but frowned and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Fun? We didn't gain anything! Did you come here just for fun?"

Luffy scratched his head, showed his signature silly smile, and comforted: "It's okay, Nami. Adventure itself is a very interesting thing! As for the treasure, we will definitely find it!"

However, Nami was not moved by Luffy's optimism. She glared at Luffy and continued, "You are always like this. You only know how to play and never think about our goals and tasks. We need treasures to make a living and realize our dreams!"

Before this, the berries that Ling Tian gave to Nami had already been spent until there was almost nothing left.

Therefore, Nami now urgently needs to find gold to fill the economic gap of the Straw Hat Pirates.

As for where those berries were used, well... this is just a girl's private matter.
