Chapter 514: The Journey to the Divine Artifact and the Battle of Guardianship under the 7-Colored L

After Luffy and his companions defeated the purple sea beast, they continued to sail on the sea. A few days later, they saw a strange light appear in the distant sky. The light flashed with colorful colors, as if it was a door to another world.

"Wow, what is that? It looks amazing!" Luffy jumped up excitedly, his eyes fixed on the light. His friends were also attracted and speculated about the secret behind the light.

"Whatever it is, we'll find out after we go and see it!" Luffy decided to move towards the direction of the light without hesitation. When they approached the area where the light was, they found some huge crystal pillars on the sea surface. These crystal pillars went straight into the sky from the bottom of the sea, emitting mysterious energy fluctuations.

"These crystal pillars look unusual, everyone be careful." Robin warned. The ship carefully shuttled between the crystal pillars. Suddenly, rays of light shot out from the crystal pillars, interweaving together to form a huge light net, trapping the Thousand Miles Sunshine in it.

"This is trouble, we are trapped!" Usopp shouted anxiously. Luffy tried to pull the light net with his rubber arm, but the light net was extremely tough and his efforts were ineffective. Zoro slashed at the light net with his knife, but only some weak sparks were splashed.

Just as everyone was racking their brains to figure out how to break through the light net, Chopper discovered that there were some special symbols flashing on the crystal pillars. After careful study, he said, "These symbols may be the key to unlocking the light net. We need to destroy these crystal pillars in a specific order."

So, the partners began to work together. Nami used the weather stick to observe the changes in the symbols on the crystal pillars and directed everyone's actions. Luffy used his rubber ability to jump between the crystal pillars and attacked specific crystal pillars according to Nami's instructions. Zoro and Sanji protected Luffy and blocked the attack rays emitted by the crystal pillars.

Usopp takes out the newly invented "Crystal Destroyer Bullet" and cooperates with Luffy's attack to accurately strike the crystal column. Chopper transforms into a combat form and helps Robin find more clues about the symbols on the crystal column. Franky uses laser beams to enhance the power of the attack, while Brook uses the sound of the soul to interfere with the energy fluctuations of the crystal column.

After some hard work, they finally destroyed the crystal pillars in the correct order, and the light net dissipated. The ship continued to move towards the strange light, and soon they came to an island covered by light.

The island was full of strange creatures and plants, some of which were transparent and some of which made beautiful music. They walked along the path on the island and found a huge temple. The door of the temple was closed, and in front of it stood a huge statue holding a glowing key.

"Is this key the key to open the door of the temple?" Luffy walked over curiously to get the key. The moment he touched the key, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. They seemed to be in an illusory space, and all kinds of illusions and challenges appeared in front of them.

Some of the companions saw what they feared most, while others faced a difficult choice. Luffy saw his companions leaving him one by one. He shouted loudly and tried to catch them, but he was powerless. However, Luffy soon realized that this was an illusion, and he said firmly: "No matter what you are, don't try to shake my determination!"

With his strong willpower, he broke through the shackles of fantasy and regained consciousness. He saw that other partners were also struggling, so he ran around to help them overcome their inner fears and confusion.

When everyone was freed from the fantasy, they found that the key was already in Luffy's hand. They used the key to open the door of the temple, and inside was a huge treasure house filled with various precious treasures and ancient documents.

Robin picked up a document and began to read it. Her expression became very serious. “These documents record a divine weapon that can change the balance of power in the world. However, the divine weapon is sealed in a dangerous place and is guarded by a powerful guardian.”

When Luffy heard this, his eyes lit up: "Then let's go find the artifact and prevent it from falling into the hands of the bad guys!" Although the companions knew that this would be an extremely dangerous adventure, they decided to follow Luffy without hesitation.

According to the clues in the document, they set out on a journey to find the artifact. On the way, they crossed a hot desert with sandstorms from time to time. Luffy used his rubber arms to hold his companions tightly to prevent them from being swept away by the sandstorm. Zoro and Sanji used their own strength to open up a path for everyone.

After a difficult journey, they finally crossed the desert and came to a steep mountain range. The mountain range was full of traps and monsters. They moved forward carefully, and suddenly, a huge rock monster rolled down from the mountain and rushed towards them.

Luffy stretched out his rubber arms, hugged the rock monster tightly, and then threw it far away. Zoro swung his three swords to cut off the boulders that kept rolling down the mountain. Sanji used the Devil's Wind Kick to kick out a flaming kick in the air, repelling the approaching monster.

Nami used the weather stick to change the weather, creating rain, lowering the surrounding temperature, making everyone a little more comfortable in the hot mountains. Usopp took out various inventions and set traps to deal with the monsters hiding in the dark. Chopper transformed into a giant form to help his friends move boulders and open up roads. Robin used the power of the Hana-Hana no Mi to find a safe route in the mountains, Franky used laser beams to attack dangerous targets in the distance, and Brook used the voice of the soul to soothe everyone's emotions.

Deep in the mountains, they found the place where the artifact was sealed. There was a huge magic circle, surrounded by powerful energy fluctuations. In the center of the magic circle, the legendary artifact was placed, emitting a dazzling light.

However, the artifact is guarded by a powerful beast, which is covered with golden scales, its eyes sparkle with wisdom, and its power is so strong that it makes people awe-inspiring.

"You insignificant humans, dare to covet the divine weapon? I will repel you all!" The divine beast made a majestic voice. Luffy responded fearlessly: "We will not let the divine weapon be abused, we must protect it!"

The battle broke out instantly, Luffy used his rubber arms to attack the beast, his attacks rained down on the beast, but the beast's scales were so hard that Luffy's attacks could only make it shake slightly. Zoro used his strongest three-sword style, the blade light passed through the beast, but only left a shallow mark.

Sanji used his Devil's Wind Kick to launch a series of flaming kicks, which burned the beast, but the beast didn't seem to care. Nami used the Weather Stick to summon lightning, which struck the beast, but the beast easily blocked it with its body.
